Introduction Hexmaster

Malidrex sighed with contentment as she cracked open the fresh copy of Hexmaster Player's Guide, the
tome's spine giving a satisfying creak. The sweet scent of fresh ink and parchment hit her nostrils as she
skimmed through the pages, the content both rich and inviting.

"Ah, there's nothing quite like a fresh book full of adventures, just waiting to be explored!" she exclaimed,
flipping through the vast array of classes and races. "Oh, would you look at this? Adventurer, Arcane
Gambler, Witch… my kind of folk."

Suddenly, The Magus's Mirror on the wall buzzed into life, its smooth glassy surface rippling as an image
formed. "Oh, indeed, Malidrex. I noticed you conveniently skipped over 'Jester'," it quipped, a touch of
sarcasm edging its usually serene voice.

A rolling laugh erupted from Malidrex, "Oh, Mirror, with a tongue as sharp as yours, I'd dare say you'd make a
great Jester yourself!"

The Mirror sighed, the image within its frame reflecting a rolling eye. "Oh yes, because that's exactly what a
magical artifact of my stature aspires to be - a court jester. Bravo, Malidrex. Bravo."

Before the Mirror could throw more jibes, The Book of Eldritch Shadows rustled, its pages fluttering as though
disturbed by a phantom wind. "Quiet, both of you!" it grumbled, its voice a dusty whisper. "Don't you see?
Hexmaster is more than your petty squabbles. Look at this!"

It flipped open to a page detailing the myriad spells available to players. "Over a thousand unique spells! And
here you are bickering like children when we could be harnessing this knowledge."

Malidrex rolled her eyes, but a smile played on her lips. "Oh, relax, Book. We're just having a bit of fun."

Book snapped back, "Fun? We're on the verge of an arcane breakthrough, and all you can think of is 'fun'? I
swear, you're more like a Lash Savant than a witch."

"But look at this," Malidrex countered, pointing to the vast equipment list. "Even a Lash Savant would
appreciate the breadth of choice here. From the humble sword to the most alien of technologies… I mean,
who wouldn't want to own a piece of land or two? Even a magic mirror, perhaps?" she added, winking at the
Mirror.

The Mirror merely shimmered, unamused. "How generous of you. Maybe then, I could finally have some
peace and quiet."

Hexmaster Chapter 1 Basic Rules

Chapter 1: Introduction and Basic Rules

Malidrex, looking vibrant and self-assured, stood before a massive wooden table cluttered with flasks, scrolls,
and strange artifacts. "Ah, aspiring adventurers of Maxxia, you’ve finally decided to delve into the mystical and
often unpredictable realm of Hexmaster!" she announced, her eyes gleaming with mischief. "Trust me, you're
in for a roller-coaster of a journey."

The Magus's Mirror, resting lazily on the table, chimed in, "Roller-coaster? Don't you mean a randomized
series of unfortunate, and often hilarious, events?"

Malidrex rolled her eyes. "Oh hush, you reflective show-off! We're trying to entice them, not scare them
away."

The ancient Book of Eldritch Shadows then creaked open, its pages fluttering dramatically, "Newcomers,
huh? How many of them will just flip to the spells section, I wonder?"

Malidrex smirked. "Considering the wealth of knowledge you contain? Maybe...all of them?"

The book huffed, a gust of old, dusty air blowing from its pages. "Typical. But since you're all here, might as
well learn the ropes from the beginning."

Shooting a glance at her companions, Malidrex agreed, "Indeed. So, for those unfamiliar with the nuances of
Hexmaster or those dipping their toes into role-playing for the first time – this is where your tale begins. By the
end of this chapter, you'll grasp the basics of gameplay, character creation, and the foundation upon which
your unique narratives will be built."

The Magus's Mirror, never one to stay quiet, chimed in again. "And let me guess, dear Malidrex, will you tell
them about the extensive world of over 2,000 races or the fascinating array of classes available?"

Before she could answer, the Book of Eldritch Shadows interjected, "Or maybe the sheer volume of
equipment, spanning from the blade of a simple dagger to grand mansions? Oh, the things mortals desire..."

Malidrex waved her hand dismissively. "All in due time! This chapter, my precious, albeit sarcastic partners, is
all about setting the foundation. Basics first, intricate details later."

The Mirror sighed melodramatically. "Well, in case you get lost, newbie, remember you can always check
your reflection in me. Who knows? Maybe you'll see a more competent version of yourself."

"And if they look deeply enough," added the Book, its tone dripping with mockery, "maybe they’ll find Malidrex
actually sticking to a routine and not taking shortcuts."

Malidrex's cheeks reddened slightly. "Enough with the banter. To our eager readers, embrace the
unpredictable. Let your imagination soar, your strategies evolve, and your narratives intertwine. You are the
masters of your own fates in this vast world of Hexmaster."

The Mirror, in a rare moment of sincerity, added, "Indeed, and remember, even in a realm where magic blurs
the lines of reality, it's the choices you make and the bonds you forge that truly shape your destiny."

Malidrex smiled. "Couldn't have said it better. Now, let's dive into the rules, shall we?"

Chapter 1 Basic Rules Hexmaster

Rules of Hexmaster
Character Creation:
1. Roll Ability Scores: Each player rolls 3D6 in order
for their character's six basic Ability Scores: Strength
(STR), Dexterity (DEX), Constitution (CON),
Intelligence (INT), Wisdom (WIS), and Charisma
(CHA).

2. Determine Race: The player then rolls on the

racial table to determine their character's race. Each
race has associated Ability Score adjustments, which
should be applied to the scores rolled in step 1.
Some races may also provide additional benefits or
abilities.

3. Determine Background: The player rolls on the

background table to determine their character's
background. This can provide additional Ability Score
adjustments, skills, tools, or other benefits. It also
helps shape the character's backstory and
personality.

4. Select Class: Based on their final Ability Scores

after racial and background adjustments, the player
can choose a starting class for their character. The
class must meet the stat requirements according to
the provided chart. If no class requirements are met,
the character starts as an Adventurer. Class
selection determines a character's starting hit points,
proficiencies, and special abilities.
7. Character Details: The player can then fill out
additional character details, such as their character's
name, alignment, faith, appearance, and personal
goals. While these might not directly impact
mechanics, they are crucial for role-playing and
character development.
8. Leveling: All characters start at Level 1. As they
gain experience from adventuring, they will level up,
gaining additional hit points, class features, and
possibly even new classes if they meet the
requirements for the advanced classes.

Remember, the goal of this process is to create a

character who is not only mechanically interesting to
play, but also engaging in the story and world!

5. Starting Gold: The player rolls a 1D1000 to
determine their character's starting gold. This
represents the character's life savings or funds
provided by their background or initial circumstances.
6. Equipment: The player rolls 20 times on the basic
equipment table, and may choose to purchase any of
the rolled items using their starting gold. This forms
the character's initial equipment. Any remaining gold
can be saved for later use.
Ability Scores and Checks
1. Ability Scores: Each character has six basic Ability
Scores: Strength (STR), Dexterity (DEX),
Constitution (CON), Intelligence (INT), Wisdom
(WIS), and Charisma (CHA). These scores typically
range from 3 to 18 for most humanoid characters
and influence a wide variety of abilities and skills.
2. Modifiers: For each Ability Score, a Modifier is

6
Hexmaster Chapter 1 Basic Rules

derived which is used in gameplay. This is calculated

by subtracting 10 from the ability score, dividing by 2,
and rounding down. For example, a score of 14
would have a +2 modifier, while a score of 9 would
have a -1 modifier.
3. Ability Checks: When you attempt an action that
has a chance of failure, you make an Ability Check.
This involves rolling a D20, adding the relevant
Ability Modifier, and comparing the total to a Difficulty
Class (DC) set by the Hex Master (DM). If your total
equals or exceeds the DC, the check is a success.
4. Proficiency Bonus: If a character is proficient in a
certain ability or skill, they add their Proficiency
Bonus to the Ability Check. This bonus is based on
the character's total level, starting at +2 for a 1st
level character and increasing as they gain levels.
5. Saving Throws: Sometimes a character is
subjected to a threat or hazard and has a chance to
avoid or mitigate it, this is where Saving Throws
come in. These are also tied to Ability Scores. For
example, a spell might require a DEX Saving Throw
to avoid full damage.
6. Skill Checks: Skills are specific applications of an
Ability, like Perception (WIS) or Stealth (DEX). If a
character is proficient in a Skill, they add their
Proficiency Bonus to checks with that skill, which are
usually Ability Checks.

Hexmaster
take additional actions called bonus actions. You can
only take one bonus action per round. A reaction is a
special action you can take in response to a trigger
of some kind, which can occur on your turn or
someone else's.
7. Conditions: Certain abilities, spells, or weapon
effects can apply conditions to characters, like being
stunned, grappled, poisoned, etc. These conditions
have various effects and are often ended by
succeeding on a saving throw.
8. Death and Dying: If a character's hit points reach
0, they are unconscious and must start making death
saving throws on their turn, which are straight D20
rolls. Three failures result in death, while three
successes result in stabilization.
9. Magic: Spellcasting follows its own set of rules,
including the use of spell slots, components, and
saving throws.
Special Combat Maneuvers:
1. Opportunity Attack: When an enemy moves out of
your reach, you may use your reaction to make an
opportunity attack against them. This is a single
melee attack. You don't add your proficiency bonus
to the attack roll, unless you have a feature that
allows you to do so. If the attack hits, it deals
damage as normal.
2. Bull Rush: You can use your action to make a
Strength (Athletics) check opposed by the target's
Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check
(the target chooses the ability to use). If you win the
contest, you push the target up to 5 feet away from
you. You can push the target an additional 5 feet for
each size category you are larger than the target.
3. Disarm: As an action, you can make an attack roll
opposed by the target's Strength (Athletics) or
Dexterity (Acrobatics) check (the target chooses the
ability to use). If you beat the target's check, you
knock one item of your choice that the target is
holding out of their hands.
4. Grapple: You can use your action to make a
Strength (Athletics) check opposed by the target's
Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check
(the target chooses the ability to use). If you
succeed, you and the target are both Grappled, and
you can move at half speed dragging the target with
15
Chapter 1 Basic Rules
you. The grapple ends if you are incapacitated, or if
an effect removes the target from your reach.
5. Charge: If you move at least 20 feet straight
toward an enemy and then hit it with a melee
weapon attack on the same turn, you can use a
bonus action to attempt to shove that enemy. You
can't use this ability if you're wearing heavy armor.
The enemy must be no more than one size category
larger than you.
6. Overrun: When you use your movement to move
through an enemy's space, you can use your action
to make a Strength (Athletics) check opposed by the
enemy's Strength (Athletics) check. If you win the
contest, you can move through the enemy's space
once this turn.
7. Trip: As an action, you can make a melee attack
against an enemy's legs. If you hit, the target must
succeed on a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity
(Acrobatics) check (the target chooses the ability to
use) against a DC equal to 8 + your proficiency
bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your
choice). If the check fails, the target is knocked
prone.
8. Parry: If another creature damages you with a
melee attack, you can use your reaction and expend
one hit die to reduce the damage by the number you
roll on your hit die + your Dexterity modifier.
9. Sunder: As an action, you can make an attack
against an item held or worn by an enemy. If you hit,
the attack deals damage to the item instead of the
enemy.
10. Feint: As a bonus action, you can attempt to
deceive an enemy within 5 feet of you. Make a
Charisma (Deception) check opposed by the
enemy's Wisdom (Insight) check. If you succeed, you
have advantage on your next attack roll against that
enemy.
11. Pin: When you have a creature grappled, you
can use an action to try and pin them. Make another
grapple check. If you succeed, the creature is
restrained until the grapple ends.
12. Disengage: If you take the Disengage action,
your movement doesn’t provoke opportunity attacks
for the rest of the turn.
Chapter 1 Basic Rules
13. Fend Off: As a reaction to being targeted by a
melee attack, you can attempt to fend off your
attacker. Make a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity
(Acrobatics) check (your choice) against a DC equal
to the attack roll. If you succeed, the attack misses
you.
14. Blind: As an action, you can attempt to blind an
enemy. Make a melee attack against the target. If
you hit, the target must make a Constitution saving
throw against a DC of 8 + your proficiency bonus +
your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice). If
they fail, they are blinded until the end of your next
turn.
15. Ready: You can take the Ready action on your
turn, which lets you act using your reaction before
the start of your next turn. Decide what perceivable
circumstance will trigger your reaction, then choose
to either make an attack, cast a spell, or take another
action in response to that trigger.
16. Lunge: As an action, you can make a melee
attack with 5 feet more range. You make this attack
with disadvantage.
17. Help: You can lend your aid to another creature
in the completion of a task. When you take the Help
action, the creature you aid gains advantage on the
next ability check it makes to perform the task you
are helping with, provided that it makes the check
before the start of your next turn.
18. Cleave: If you make a melee attack, and your
attack roll would hit the AC of an adjacent enemy,
you can use your bonus action to deal your Strength
or Dexterity modifier (your choice) in damage to the
second enemy.
19. Dodge: When you take the Dodge action, you
focus entirely on avoiding attacks. Until the start of
your next turn, any attack roll made against you has
disadvantage if you can see the attacker, and you
make Dexterity saving throws with advantage.
20. Feat of Strength: As an action, you can show off
your physical prowess to try and intimidate an
enemy. Make a Strength (Athletics) check with a DC
determined by the GM. If you succeed, one enemy of
your choice within 30 feet that can see you must
make a Wisdom saving throw or be frightened until
the end of your next turn.
16
Hexmaster
21. Quick Draw: If you have a weapon that isn't
currently drawn, you can draw it and make an attack
with it as a single action.
22. Cover Fire: As an action, you can use a ranged
weapon to create a distraction, giving your allies a
chance to move. Choose a point within your
weapon's range. Until the start of your next turn, your
allies have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks
and their movement doesn’t provoke opportunity
attacks from enemies within 30 feet of the chosen
point.
Air Combat Rules:
1. Movement: A flying character can move up to their
flying speed in any direction, including upward or
downward, during their movement phase. Diagonal
movement works the same as on the ground.
2. Ascend/Descend: A flying creature can ascend at
half speed and descend at double speed. To
maintain a steady altitude, no additional movement
cost is required.
3. High Speed Maneuvering: If a character wishes to
make a sudden change in direction or perform an
evasive maneuver while flying at high speed, they
must make a Dexterity (Acrobatics) check. The DC is
set by the DM based on the complexity of the
maneuver.
4. Hover: If a flying creature possesses the hover
ability, it can stay in one place while airborne. It can
do this without needing to make any checks.
5. Falling: If a creature is knocked prone while flying,
doesn’t maintain minimum forward speed (if it has
one), or is affected by a spell that brings it down, it
begins to fall. A creature falls 500 feet in the first
round and 1,000 feet per round thereafter. The
creature takes 1d6 bludgeoning damage per 10 feet
fallen, to a maximum of 20d6. If it's still falling at the
start of its next turn, it must make a DC 10 Dexterity
saving throw or remain prone.
6. Attack Roll Advantage: A creature that is flying has
advantage on melee attack rolls against creatures
that are not flying or hovering.
7. Spellcasting: Casting spells while flying works the
same as on the ground, but remember to consider
the vertical range of spells.
Hexmaster
8. Landing: If a creature ends its turn in the air
without landing, it must make a Dexterity (Acrobatics)
check with a DC set by the DM (based on conditions
and speed) or risk falling.
Naval Combat Rules:
1. Ship Stats: Each ship has three primary stats: Hull
Points (HP), Speed, and Maneuverability. Hull Points
are the ship's health. Speed represents how far the
ship can move in one turn. Maneuverability affects
how quickly the ship can change direction.
2. Ship's Crew: The crew is divided into three key
roles: Captain, Helmsman, and Cannoneers. The
Captain issues orders and makes key decisions. The
Helmsman steers the ship and determines
movement. Cannoneers operate the ship's weapons.
Each role uses different skills.
3. Initiative: At the start of a naval encounter, each
Captain makes an initiative check using their
Wisdom (Insight) skill. The ship with the higher result
acts first each round.
4. Movement: During the ship's turn, the Helmsman
can move the ship up to its Speed in any direction.
The ship can change direction, but the amount it can
do so depends on its Maneuverability rating and
current speed.
5. Attacking: Cannoneers can fire the ship's weapons
once per turn. This is an attack roll using Intelligence
(Artillery) skill against the target ship's AC (which is
set by the DM based on factors like size,
construction, and distance).
6. Damage: If a weapon hits, it deals damage to the
ship's Hull Points. Different weapons have different
damage dice.
7. Special Maneuvers: The Captain can attempt
special maneuvers like a Ramming Speed, Full
Broadside, or Evasive Maneuvers. These maneuvers
require successful skill checks and can provide
advantages in combat.
- Ramming Speed: The ship attempts to ram into an
enemy ship. This requires a successful Dexterity
(Sailing) check from the Helmsman and deals
significant damage if successful but also damages
17
Chapter 1 Basic Rules
the ramming ship.
- Full Broadside: All Cannoneers on one side of the
ship unleash a simultaneous attack. Requires a
successful Charisma (Intimidation) check from the
Captain to coordinate.
- Evasive Maneuvers: The Helmsman attempts to
make it harder for enemy ships to hit. This requires a
successful Dexterity (Sailing) check, and if
successful, increases the ship's AC until the next
turn.
8. Ship Conditions: As a ship takes damage, it may
suffer conditions like "On Fire" (requires crew to put
out fire or takes ongoing damage), "Taking on Water"
(requires crew to repair or ship sinks), or "Broken
Mast" (reduces Speed and Maneuverability).
9. Repair: Crew can attempt to repair damage during
combat. This requires a successful Strength
(Carpentry) check and restores a certain amount of
Hull Points or removes a condition.
10. Boarding Actions: If ships are adjacent to each
other, a crew can attempt to board the enemy ship.
This initiates personal combat per the standard
Hexmaster rules.
Underwater Combat:
1. Movement: Unless a creature has a swimming
speed, it uses twice as much movement to move
through water than on land. Creatures with a swim
speed can move through water without penalty.
2. Melee Attacks: Melee attacks are at a
disadvantage unless the weapon used is a dagger,
javelin, shortsword, spear, or trident. These weapons
don't suffer this disadvantage due to their thrusting
nature.
3. Ranged Attacks: Ranged weapons are impractical
for use underwater, even crossbows. When making a
ranged attack roll, the attack is at a disadvantage
unless the weapon is a crossbow, a net, or a weapon
that is thrown like a javelin (including a spear, trident,
or dart). In addition, these attacks automatically miss
beyond the weapon's normal range, and the attack
roll has disadvantage within the weapon's long
range.
4. Vision and Light: Water can limit visibility,
Chapter 1 Basic Rules
especially in deep or murky water. The Hex Master
determines how far characters can see underwater,
but as a general rule, bright light illuminates up to 20
feet, and dim light 20 feet beyond that. Beyond this
light, the water is considered heavily obscured.
5. Casting Spells: Spells can be cast underwater but
spells that require the caster to breathe or speak
may fail or have their effects changed at the Hex
Master's discretion.
6. Breathing: Unless a creature has the ability to
breathe underwater, it can hold its breath for a
number of minutes equal to 1 + its Constitution
modifier (minimum 30 seconds). Once a creature
runs out of breath, it must succeed on a DC 10
Constitution saving throw at the start of each of its
turns or drop to 0 hit points. The DC increases by 5
for each consecutive turn the creature is without
breath.
7. Pressure: At depths greater than 100 feet, the
water pressure can have various effects. For every
additional 100 feet a character descends, the DM
might require a Constitution saving throw to avoid
gaining one level of exhaustion.
8. Temperature: Cold waters can pose a risk of
hypothermia. In freezing temperatures, a creature
requires a Constitution saving throw each hour or
gain one level of exhaustion.
Zero-Gravity Space Combat:
1. Movement: In zero-gravity, all characters have a
flying speed equal to their walking speed. However, if
they end their movement without something to grab
onto or a way to propel themselves, they will
continue moving in the same direction and speed
until something stops them. A character who collides
with an object stops moving and takes 1d6 damage
for every 10 feet they moved that turn.
2. Propelling: A character can use a weapon to
propel themselves in the opposite direction of their
attack. The character moves 5 feet in the opposite
direction after making a ranged attack. A melee
attack can also be used in this way, but it propels the
character and the target in opposite directions, up to
5 feet, depending on their relative sizes.
3. Unstable Attacks: All melee and ranged attacks
have disadvantage unless the attacker has a means
18
Hexmaster
of stabilizing themselves, such as by bracing against
a wall or using a special ability or equipment
designed for zero-gravity combat.
4. 3D Combat: Combat in zero-gravity is three-
dimensional. Make sure to keep track of everyone's
positions relative to one another, not just in two
dimensions, but up and down as well.
5. Grappling: When you successfully grapple an
opponent, both of you are considered grappled, and
any movement either of you take is split between the
two of you, unless the one doing the moving is two or
more sizes larger than the other.
6. Gravity Shifts: If gravity is suddenly restored, all
creatures that are not holding onto something fall to
the floor and take fall damage as normal. If gravity is
suddenly reversed or comes from a different
direction, creatures are flung in that direction and
take damage as if they had fallen.
7. EVA Equipment: Equipment such as jetpacks,
magnetic boots, or specially designed zero-g
weapons can greatly assist in space combat.
Jetpacks or thrusters can allow for controlled
movement, magnetic boots can help a character
keep their footing on metallic surfaces, and zero-g
weapons can help negate the disadvantage on
attack rolls.
Siege Combat
1. Units: In siege combat, individual characters are
typically part of larger units. A unit could be a group
of archers, a squad of infantry, or a team operating a
siege weapon. Each unit has a total number of Hit
Points (HP) and an Armor Class (AC). The HP
represents the unit's overall health and morale, and
when it reaches zero, the unit is defeated and can no
longer participate in the siege.
2. Movement and Positioning: During a siege,
movement and positioning are more strategic. Units
might move to occupy a wall, guard a gate, or
operate a siege weapon. Each round, a unit can
move and take an action.
3. Actions: Units can take actions such as Attack
(engage another unit), Defend (increase their own
AC for a round), Use Siege Weapon, Repair (restore
some HP to a fortification or siege weapon), or
others appropriate to the situation.
Hexmaster
4. Attack Rolls: When making an attack, the unit rolls
a d20 and adds their attack bonus. If the roll equals
or exceeds the target's AC, the attack hits and deals
damage.
5. Damage: If a unit's attack hits, they roll damage
based on the type of unit they are. For example, a
unit of archers might deal 1d10 damage, while a unit
of infantry might deal 2d6. When a unit's HP reaches
zero, the unit is defeated.
6. Siege Weapons: Siege weapons (like trebuchets
or battering rams) can be used to deal significant
damage to fortifications or units. Using a siege
weapon requires a unit's full action and might require
an Ability Check to hit a target.
7. Fortifications: Walls, gates, and towers can also
have HP and AC. If a fortification's HP reaches zero,
it is breached or destroyed. Some fortifications might
have defenses like boiling oil or arrow slits that can
be used against attackers.
8. Morale Checks: In certain situations, units may
need to make morale checks to see if they continue
fighting. This could be a Wisdom saving throw, with a
DC set by the DM based on the circumstances. A
failed morale check could result in a unit fleeing or
surrendering.
9. Heroic Actions: Don't forget about the player
characters during a siege! They might be leading
units, operating siege weapons, or taking on special
missions like sneaking into the enemy fortress or
dueling the enemy commander. These can be
handled with regular combat rules and ability checks.
Mass Combat:
1. Units: A unit represents a group of similar
creatures fighting together. Each unit is assigned an
Ability Score that represents its combat
effectiveness. This can range from 1 (militia) to 5
(elite warriors).
2. Health: A unit's health is equal to its Ability Score
times 10. For example, a unit of elite warriors with an
Ability Score of 5 would have 50 health.
3. Attack Roll: When a unit attacks, roll a D20 and
add the unit's Ability Score. The targeted unit's Ability
19
Chapter 1 Basic Rules
Score acts as its Armor Class (AC). If the attack roll
equals or exceeds the targeted unit's AC, the attack
hits.
4. Damage: On a successful hit, roll a D6 and add
the unit's Ability Score. The result is subtracted from
the targeted unit's health.
5. Morale Check: When a unit is reduced to half of its
health or less for the first time in a battle, it must
make a morale check. Roll a D20 and add the unit's
Ability Score. If the roll is less than 10, the unit flees
the battle.
6. Movement: A unit can move up to 30 feet per turn
unless the terrain or other circumstances would slow
it down.
7. Special Abilities: Depending on the types of
creatures in a unit, it might have special abilities. For
example, a unit of wizards might be able to cast a
large-area spell once per battle, or a unit of cavalry
might have a charge attack that does extra damage.
8. Commanders: Commanders can add strategy and
variability to mass combat. A unit with a commander
can add the commander's Charisma modifier to
attack rolls, damage rolls, and morale checks. If a
commander is part of a unit that is reduced to 0
health, roll a D20. On a 1-5, the commander is slain.
Spellcasting:
1. Spellcasting Ability: Each spellcasting class has a
specific ability that is used for their spellcasting
(Intelligence for wizards, Wisdom for clerics, druids,
and rangers, Charisma for sorcerers, warlocks,
bards, and paladins). This ability is used to
determine the spell save DC and spell attack bonus.
2. Spell Save DC: This is the difficulty class for
saving throws against your spells. It's calculated
based on your spellcasting ability modifier,
proficiency bonus, and a base number (usually 8).
It's typically calculated as follows: 8 + proficiency
bonus + spellcasting ability modifier.
3. Spell Attack Bonus: When you make an attack
with a spell, you use this bonus. It's usually
calculated as follows: proficiency bonus +
spellcasting ability modifier.
4. Spell Slots: To cast a spell, you must expend a
Chapter 1 Basic Rules
spell slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all
expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
Some classes have additional rules for spell slot
recovery.
5. Casting a Spell: When casting a spell, follow the
spell's casting time, range, components, and
duration. You may need to make a spell attack roll (if
it's a spell that requires an attack roll), or the target
might have to make a saving throw (if the spell
requires one).
6. Spell Attack Roll: Some spells require you to make
an attack roll to see if the spell hits the intended
target. Roll a D20 and add your spell attack bonus. If
the total equals or exceeds the target's AC, the spell
hits.
7. Saving Throws: Some spells instead require the
target to make a saving throw to avoid some or all of
a spell's effects. The type of saving throw is specified
in the spell's description. The DC is your spell save
DC.
8. Spell Level: Spells have levels ranging from 0
(also called a cantrip) to 9. Cantrips are spells that
can be cast at will, without using a spell slot and
without being prepared in advance. Higher-level
spells (1 through 9) require preparation and consume
spell slots when cast.
9. Preparing and Learning Spells: Some classes
prepare spells each day from a broader list (like
clerics and wizards), while others know a fixed
number of spells that can be cast (like sorcerers and
bards).
10. Concentration: Some spells require concentration
to maintain their effects. If you are casting a spell
that requires concentration, you can't cast another
spell that also requires concentration. You must also
make concentration saving throws (usually 10 or half
the damage you take, whichever number is higher)
when you take damage to maintain the spell.
Learning New Spells:
In Hexmaster, the knowledge of arcane arts is not
limited to certain classes. Anyone with enough
intellect and determination can unravel the secrets of
spellcraft. Whether it is from a dusty old scroll, an
ancient tome or a willing teacher, the method of
learning spells remains the same:
20
Hexmaster
1. Source: In order to learn a new spell, you first
need a source. This could be a spell scroll, a
spellbook, or another individual who already knows
the spell and is willing to teach you.
2. Intelligence Check: Learning a new spell involves
a great deal of study, practice, and mental acuity. As
such, you must make an Intelligence check to see if
you successfully comprehend and memorize the
spell. The DC for this check is 10 + the level of the
spell you are trying to learn.
3. Time: Learning a new spell requires a significant
investment of time. You must spend 8 hours studying
the spell for each level of the spell. This study does
not need to be all at once, but no single period of
study can be less than 1 hour. You can only study
one spell at a time.
4. Failure: If you fail the Intelligence check, the
arcane formula of the spell eludes your
understanding for now. You must gain another level
of experience before you can attempt to learn the
spell again.
5. Spell Research: If you do not have access to a
teacher or a written source, you can attempt to
research a spell yourself. This requires access to a
library or other collection of arcane texts, as well as
any necessary research materials. Researching a
spell takes 1 week per spell level and costs 100 gold
pieces per spell level to cover the costs of materials
and expenses. At the end of the research period, you
must make the Intelligence check to learn the spell
as normal.
Once a spell has been learned, it is forever etched in
your memory and can be prepared as per the rules
of spellcasting. Keep in mind that casting a spell may
still require components, as specified in the spell's
description. Additionally, you must have an ability
score equal to at least 10 + the spell's level in your
spellcasting ability score to cast the spell.
Magic Items:
Magic items are a key part of many adventures,
providing magical effects beyond spells. They can be
anything from a simple potion to a legendary artifact.
Magic items are often found in treasure hoards or
ancient ruins, won from powerful enemies, or given
as rewards by grateful allies.
Hexmaster
In Hexmaster, there are no restrictions on how many
magic items a character can wear or wield, nor are
there class restrictions. This allows a broad and
flexible approach to magic items, but remember that
a character’s equipment must still be managed
logically. For example, a character cannot wear
eleven rings and gain the benefit from each, as they
only have ten fingers.
Here are some general rules for using magic items:
1. Activating an Item: Some magic items need to be
activated to use their magical properties. Activating
an item requires an action unless specified otherwise
in the item's description.
2. Intelligence Restrictions: Some magic items,
particularly those that use high-level spells or have
complex effects, require a minimum Intelligence
score to use. This represents the mental acuity
required to channel and control the item's magic.
3. Spells from Items: When a magic item allows a
character to cast a spell, they don't need to provide
components, unless the item's description says
otherwise. The spell's level is set by the item, and the
spell save DC or spell attack bonus are also set by
the item. When not specified the DC is 10 and attack
bonus is +0. The Intelligence restrictions apply here,
where a high-level spell would require a higher
Intelligence score to use.
4. Cursed Items: Some magic items bear curses that
bedevil their users. Often, a character can't get rid of
a cursed item without undertaking a special quest or
receiving a powerful spell.
5. Magic Item Rarity: Magic items are categorized by
their rarity: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Very Rare,
and Legendary. The rarer the item, the more
powerful it tends to be. The rarity of an item is
generally in line with the minimum level at which a
character could reasonably expect to handle its
effects and the Intelligence required to use it.
6. Identification: The identify spell is the fastest way
to reveal an item’s properties. Alternatively, a
character can focus on one magic item during a short
rest, after which the character learns the item’s
properties, as well as how to use them.
7. Selling Magic Items: Selling magic items is up to
21
Chapter 1 Basic Rules
the discretion of the DM. In general, a magic item
can't be sold until its properties have been fully
identified.
Notes on Usage:
1. Equivalent Effects: Some magic items don't
necessarily cast spells but have effects that are
equivalent to them. For instance, an item that allows
the user to fly could be treated as having an effect
equivalent to the 3rd level spell 'fly' and thus would
require an Intelligence of 12 to use.
2. Scaling with Rarity: You could tie these
Intelligence requirements to the rarity of an item as
well. For example, Common items might only require
an Intelligence of 8, whereas Legendary items might
require an Intelligence of 20, irrespective of their
effects.
3. Flexibility: This chart is intended as a guideline.
The Hex Master (or Hexmaster in your game's case)
can adjust requirements based on the specific magic
item's lore, origin, and function. For example, a
powerful but straightforward sword might only require
an Intelligence of 10 to wield despite having a very
potent effect.
4. Artifacts: Artifacts are unique items of immense
power. While they are categorized as requiring an
Intelligence of 20 in this chart, some might be usable
by anyone, while others might have their own
specific criteria, such as a particular lineage or
destiny.
5. Complexity Over Spell Level: Some items might
Chapter 1 Basic Rules Hexmaster

have a series of smaller effects that, when combined,

lead to a more complex item overall. In these cases,
even if no single effect is above a 2nd level spell, the
combined complexity might warrant a higher
Intelligence requirement.

Proficiency Bonus:
1. Proficiency Bonus: The proficiency bonus is an
extra bonus added to ability checks, attack rolls,
saving throws, and other rolls where a character's
training, class, or expertise comes into play. The
bonus starts at +2 at 1st level and increases as the
character gains levels.
Levels 1-4: Proficiency bonus is +2.
Levels 5-8: Proficiency bonus increases to +3.
Levels 9-12: Proficiency bonus increases to +4.
Levels 13-16: Proficiency bonus increases to +5.
Levels 17-20: Proficiency bonus increases to +6.
Multiclassing:
1. Multiclassing: Multiclassing allows characters to
gain levels in more than one class. This represents
training in a new set of skills and abilities.
2. Prerequisites: To multiclass, characters must meet
the Ability Score prerequisites for their current class
and the new one. This usually means having at least
a score of 13 in the key Ability Score(s) for both
classes (e.g., Strength for fighters, Intelligence for
wizards).
3. Leveling Up: When a character levels up, they can
choose to take a level in their current class or any
other class they have the prerequisites for.
4. Class Features: When a character gains a level in
a class other than their first, they gain all of the class
features for that new level in the new class. They do
not, however, gain the starting equipment of the new
class.
5. Proficiency Bonus: Your proficiency bonus is
always based on your total character level, not
individual class levels. So a 2nd-level fighter/1st-level
wizard (a 3rd-level character) still has a proficiency
bonus of +2, not +3.
6. Hit Points and Hit Dice: If you gain a level in a
class other than your first, you gain the class's Hit
Dice for hit points, but you don't double your initial hit
points. So a 1st-level wizard/1st-level fighter would
have hit points equal to their wizard hit points + their
fighter hit points (including Constitution modifier).

Hexmaster Chapter 2 Races

Chapter 2: Races
"Welcome, fellow Hexmasters, to what I consider one of the most delicious parts of our
guide - the Races," Malidrex exclaimed with an almost childish excitement, her hands
eagerly splayed over the parchment.

"But you're a witch, Malidrex, shouldn't you be more excited about the spell chapter?"
chimed in the dry, exasperated voice of the Magus's Mirror, his glossy surface rippling with
mirth. "After all, what are races to one who spends more time with her nose in a book than
in the wide world of Maxxia?"

The Book of Eldritch Shadows fluttered its ancient pages in agreement, a low chuckle
echoing from within its bindings. "You, interested in races? This ought to be amusing. Pray
tell, dear Malidrex, what is your favorite race? Is it the Murmuring Myconids, or perhaps the
Gallant Gargoyles?"

"Both excellent choices," Malidrex shot back, not missing a beat, her eyes sparkling with
enthusiasm. She wore a smug grin as she said, "But I've always found myself partial to the
Humorous Hobgoblins, a race known for their uncanny ability to find jest in even the
gravest of circumstances."

The Magus's Mirror gave a chuckle, his surface gleaming with amusement. "Really? I've
always thought you'd identify more with the Brooding Banshees."

"As if you have room to talk, Magus," the Book of Eldritch Shadows interjected, its pages
fluttering with mirth. "Last time I checked, you reflected an awful lot of Melancholic Mirrors."

Ignoring the two, Malidrex continued, her eyes dancing with an uncharacteristic fervor. "In
this chapter, dear readers, we shall delve into the fantastical myriad of races that inhabit
the world of Maxxia. From the Smiling Sylphs that dance on the winds of the Stormtop
Mountains, to the Dour Dwarves who burrow deep beneath the stony heart of the world,
each race is a unique weave in the vibrant tapestry that is Maxxia."

"But remember," the Book of Eldritch Shadows warned, its tone taking a sober turn.
"Choosing a race is not merely about selecting physical and mental attributes. It's about
defining the fundamental identity of your character. It's about the heritage they carry, the
society they grew up in, and the traditions they follow."

"Spoken like a true tome," Malidrex admitted, her tone fond. "This chapter presents over
2000 races, each with unique traits, histories, and cultures. It is these details that will shape
your characters, giving them depth and making them truly alive."

"And they said you couldn't get passionate about anything other than spells," the Magus's
Mirror quipped, shimmering with delight.

Chapter 3 Background Hexmaster

Chapter 3: Backgrounds
Malidrex perched herself atop a pile of ornately embroidered pillows, the glimmering edges of her magic
mirror and the worn, leather-bound Book of Eldritch Shadows positioned within arm's reach. She looked down
at the grandiose array of tools and bottles spread out on the low table, the glint of mischief dancing in her jade
eyes.

"Welcome, prospective Hexmasters, to the stage where I pour forth wisdom distilled from centuries of arcane
exploration," she announced with a flourish of her pale, rune-tattooed hand. "Or...a jumbled, chaotic mess,
according to the Magus's Mirror."

The mirror, propped up against the back of the room, smirked, its glassy surface shimmering as it replied.
"Oh, Malidrex, always the optimist. Surely our curious readers are more interested in avoiding their imminent
peril than observing your 'wisdom,'" it said, the last word drawn out in a tone as dry as the dust of ancient
tombs.

Chuckling at her mirror's cynicism, Malidrex turned her attention to the tome on her lap. It lay there, worn and
ancient, seemingly asleep until its brass clasps sprang open. The pages fluttered and stopped on the chapter
title 'Backgrounds'. The book's gruff voice echoed throughout the chamber, "Chapter 3, Backgrounds: the
intriguing pasts of the adventurers. Or, for the lazy, a shortcut to an insta-fabricated history."

The witch smirked, her emerald eyes gleaming with delight. "Oh, you old parchment pile," she jested, "Don't
be so stingy about those shortcuts. Everyone needs a leg up sometimes." Then, turning to address the
invisible audience, she added, "Here, my dear future Hexmasters, we delve into the roots of our heroes.
Where do they hail from? What molded them into the individuals they are today? What led them to pick up the
sword, the staff, or the dice?"

Her fingers traced the intricate lines and symbols etched into the ancient pages of the Book of Eldritch
Shadows. "Backgrounds in Hexmaster are as much a part of your character as the blood in their veins or the
magic in their bones. They shape your heroes' motivations, fears, strengths, and weaknesses. Some heroes
are born in royal courts, with silver spoons and gilded tutors. Others in back alleyways, with nothing but their
wits and willpower to rely on."

The mirror shimmered, the scene of an ancient castle and bustling market streets reflected on its surface.
"And some," it added with an air of disapproval, "simply find a mirror that knows everything."

Laughing, Malidrex continued, "These background events are seeds from which grand tales sprout. They
provide the why behind the how, the motivation behind the madness. Whether you were raised by fairies in
the Elderwood Forest, or found a sentient mirror in a forgotten ruin, or -"

Interrupting her, the Book of Eldritch Shadows grumbled, "Or picked up an ungrateful old book from a dusty
pile and now have to bear its incessant whining."

Ignoring the book's grumbling, Malidrex went on, "Your backgrounds set you apart. They add depth to your
existence, helping you to stand out in a universe that's more than a little chaotic and full of adventure.
Hexmaster is a universe that thrives on individuality, and every decision, every roll, and every strategy draws
its importance from these backgrounds. For when the line between mundane and magical is blurred, the
strength of your origin story is what will make your mark on Maxxia."

Hexmaster Chapter 4 Basic Classes

Chapter 4: Basic Classes

"Ah, the beauty of variety," began Malidrex, raising a glass filled with a bubbling blue concoction to the dim,
shimmering light of her arcane workshop. "It's what turns the cogs of this universe, what stirs the pot of possibility,
and what makes Maxxia such a fascinating place to exist."

The Magus's Mirror, propped up in the corner, snorted in response, its surface flickering with a fleeting image of a
yawning cat. "Oh, here we go," it groaned. "Another rousing speech from our 'esteemed' witch about the wonders of
diversity. Maybe one day you'll appreciate the diversity of us magical artifacts too, Mali."

In her characteristically unruffled manner, Malidrex responded, "Noted, Mirror. Now, where was I? Ah yes, the
various paths one might tread in Maxxia—those we call 'classes'. You see, dear reader, in this expansive world of
ours, one isn't merely pigeonholed into the tired archetypes of 'warrior', 'mage', 'thief', or 'priest'. No, Maxxia offers a
much broader spectrum of identities, a splendid rainbow of professional possibilities, if you will."

The Book of Eldritch Shadows, nestled under an archaic hourglass on Malidrex's cluttered table, flipped open its
pages, displaying runes of the six basic classes. "Would you like me to explain them, or are you just going to offer
more pretty metaphors?" it chimed in with a hint of sarcasm.

"Now, now, Book, where would be the fun in that?" responded Malidrex. "Let's not deprive our reader of the thrill of
discovery."

As she started to describe the classes, the room filled with the energy of her words, the Magus's Mirror illuminating
with a dazzling display of imagery, and the Book of Eldritch Shadows rustling its pages with anticipation.

"For those of you who seek adventure and danger, the path of the Adventurer awaits. Unpredictable as a storm at
sea, Adventurers thrive in the unpredictable, unexplored terrains of Maxxia. Fear not the precipice of the unknown,
for it is there that you will find your true calling."

The Magus's Mirror snickered, its surface momentarily flickering with the image of an Adventurer tripping over a
root. "Yes, unknown dangers such as tree roots. Truly exhilarating."

Undeterred, Malidrex continued, "For the daring who wish to marry magic with chance, the Arcane Gambler is your
calling. A peculiar dance of risk and reward, one never knows what might occur with a roll of the dice, a flip of the
card..."

"One might even win a magical artifact that appreciates its owner," the Mirror interjected, shifting to display a
roulette wheel.

Smiling, Malidrex ignored the Mirror's jab, pressing on. "And then we have the Jesters, the entertainers of Maxxia.
But do not mistake their buffoonery for foolishness. There's wisdom in their jests, cunning behind their pratfalls."

The Book of Eldritch Shadows turned a page, revealing detailed illustrations of the classes she was describing.
"Just make sure their humor doesn't 'fall flat'," it added, its letters rearranging into a smirking emoji.

Malidrex moved on, detailing the remaining classes – the Lash Savant, the Lord, and her own, the Witch, each with
their own flair of wry commentary from the Mirror and the Book. As the room fell into a comfortable silence, a sense
of profound understanding settled in. For in this world of Hexmaster, every journey was unique, each path a winding
road filled with thrilling stories, echoing laughter, and invaluable companionship.

"The beauty of Maxxia is its infinite variety," Malidrex concluded, a fond smile playing on her lips. "Each path
offering a different dance with destiny. So, dear reader, I must ask - which dance shall you choose?"

392
Hexmaster
gaming set. They have a unique feature called
"Gambler's Fortune," which allows them to cast
spells with a random effect, adding an element of
chance to their magic.
Flavor: Arcane Gamblers carry an aura of
unpredictability and thrill. Their attire is often
flamboyant and adorned with symbols of chance -
dice, cards, and coins. Their eyes gleam with
cunning and the promise of a high-stakes game that
could end in fortune or folly.
Usage: Arcane Gamblers often take center stage,
using their abilities to control the battlefield, dish out
damage or support allies based on their luck. They
can also manipulate social situations, bluffing or
persuading with the best.
Combination Classes: They work well with Bards
for their charisma-based skills and spells, and
Rogues for their affinity with chance and
unpredictability.
Limitations: Their powers are heavily reliant on
chance, which could lead to less than favorable
outcomes. They may not be as reliable in situations
where certainty and predictability are crucial.
Variants: Different cultures may have different
versions of the Arcane Gambler, such as a tribal
Hexmaster
bone-thrower, an elvish leaf-reader, or a dwarven
rune-caster.
Creator: The first Arcane Gambler was said to be a
gnome named Luckbeard, a notorious trickster and
gambler who was said to have won a magic spell in a
high-stakes game against a powerful wizard. The
Arcane Gambler class was born out of his fusion of
this magic with his love for games of chance.
History: Arcane Gamblers have been a part of many
cultures since Luckbeard's time, often celebrated in
stories and songs for their daring exploits and larger-
than-life personalities. They have been the heroes of
countless tavern tales, the masters of grand casinos
in city centers, and the charismatic leaders of merry
bands of adventurers.
Cultural Significance: Arcane Gamblers are often
seen as symbols of luck and fortune. In some
societies, they may be called upon during festivals
and ceremonies to bless the event with their luck-
infusing magic. In others, they might be seen as
tricksters or ne'er-do-wells, their unpredictability
viewed with suspicion.
Common Uses: In combat, the Arcane Gambler can
fill a variety of roles, their exact function changing
with the roll of a die or the turn of a card. Outside of
combat, they're excellent at gathering information
and influencing people, their natural charisma and
unpredictability making them excellent at games of
chance and persuasion.
Lesser Known Uses: The Arcane Gambler's control
over chance can be used in more subtle ways, such
as influencing the outcome of a political election,
ensuring a good harvest, or even subtly altering the
course of someone's destiny.
Notable Users:
Luckbeard, the original Arcane Gambler.
Faelen "Four-Leaf" Thistledown, an elven Arcane
Gambler known for his uncanny ability to always land
on his feet.
Lady Fortuna, a human Arcane Gambler who runs
the most successful casino in the capital city.
Role in Society: Arcane Gamblers often find
themselves in positions of influence, their natural
charisma and unpredictable nature making them
both exciting and unpredictable. Some run gambling
dens or perform in travelling shows, while others
393
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
might use their skills for more clandestine purposes.
Comments (Malidrex the Twisted Witch): "Ah, the
Arcane Gambler, a personal favorite of mine.
Nothing like a good game of chance to spice up an
otherwise dull day. Just remember, dear reader, that
while the Gambler may seem to be all fun and
games, never underestimate the power of luck. I've
seen more than one overconfident warrior laid low by
a well-timed spell from an Arcane Gambler. As with
all things, approach with caution... and never bet
more than you're willing to lose."
Name: Gambler’s Fortune
Level: 1st
Description: Gambler’s Fortune is a special feature
that emboldens the Arcane Gambler’s reliance on
chance and fate. This power allows the Arcane
Gambler to infuse a touch of arcane magic into their
games of chance, skewing probability ever so slightly
in their favor, or unleashing unexpected magical
effects.
Usage: Gambler’s Fortune is typically used at the
start of combat, or in high-stakes social situations. In
combat, it might bring an unexpected boon or twist of
fate. Outside of combat, it could be used to turn a
game of cards or dice in the Gambler's favor, or even
subtly influence the outcome of events.
Mechanics: Whenever you make an ability check,
an attack roll, or a saving throw, you can roll a d6
and add or subtract the number rolled from the total.
Additionally, whenever you cast a spell, you can
choose to add a "chaotic twist" to it. Roll a d20 and
consult the "Gambler's Fortune" table to determine
the effect. You can use this feature a number of
times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of
once), and you regain all expended uses when you
finish a long rest.
Limitations: The unpredictable nature of Gambler’s
Fortune means that while it can sometimes turn the
tide in your favor, it can also lead to unexpected
consequences. Additionally, once all uses of this
feature are expended, the Arcane Gambler must
complete a long rest to regain them.
Variants: Variations of Gambler's Fortune might
include different effects depending on the gaming set
used by the Arcane Gambler. For instance, a
Gambler using a deck of cards might have a different
set of potential outcomes than one who uses dice.
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
Flavor: As the Arcane Gambler invokes Gambler’s
Fortune, their chosen gaming set glows with a soft,
ethereal light. A deck of cards might shuffle itself in a
mesmerizing pattern; a pair of dice might hover and
spin in the air; a coin might flip itself and land
perfectly balanced on its edge. There's an air of
suspense, a sense of the universe holding its breath
as fate is twisted and manipulated.
Examples: In a tense negotiation with a city guard,
an Arcane Gambler might subtly use Gambler's
Fortune to make a Persuasion check more likely to
succeed, the guard finding himself inexplicably
swayed by the Gambler's words. In combat, the
Gambler might use Gambler's Fortune when casting
a spell, resulting in an unexpected burst of flame that
singes the enemy, or a sudden gust of wind that
knocks them off balance. The possibilities are nearly
endless, limited only by the whims of fate and the
Hex Master's imagination.
"Gambler's Fortune" table:
1 Snake Eyes: The spell fails, but no spell slot is
expended.

5 Inexplicable Frog: The target of the spell (or a

11 Unexpected Boon: The caster or a creature of
their choice within range regains hit points equal to
the spell's level.
12 Rabbit's Foot: The caster gains advantage on
394

13 Unlucky Thirteen: The caster takes 1d4 psychic
damage from a sudden headache.

on the ground. It's just a regular coin, but it's still
lucky!

before the end of their next turn is cast at one level
higher, without expending a higher level spell slot.
16 Unexpected Swap: The caster and the target of
the spell (or a random creature within range, if the
spell doesn't target creatures) swap places.
17 Fortuitous Favor: The next saving throw made
against a spell the caster casts before the end of
their next turn is made with disadvantage.

Chapter 4 Basic Classes
Name: Coin Flip
Level: 3rd level
Description: Coin Flip is a class feature that
embodies the unpredictable nature of the Arcane
Gambler. By harnessing their innate connection to
probability and chance, the Coin Flip feature allows
them to manipulate fate and turn the tide of battle
with a well-timed flip of a coin.
Usage: Coin Flip is primarily used in combat
situations, where the Arcane Gambler can use it to
grant significant bonuses to their allies or hinder their
enemies. However, it can also be used creatively
outside of combat to influence outcomes or create
unexpected opportunities.
Mechanics: The Arcane Gambler can perform a
Coin Flip as a bonus action on their turn. They flip a
specially enchanted coin, and depending on the
result, one of two effects occurs:
Heads of Fortune: If the coin lands on heads, the
Arcane Gambler's luck is in their favor. They gain a
bonus to their next attack roll or saving throw, equal
to their proficiency bonus.
Tails of Misfortune: If the coin lands on tails,
misfortune befalls the enemy. The Arcane Gambler
designates an enemy within 30 feet and imposes
disadvantage on their next attack roll or saving
throw.
Limitations: The Coin Flip feature has a limitation of
once per short rest. The Arcane Gambler needs to
take a short break to recharge their connection to the
unpredictability of chance before they can use the
Coin Flip feature again.
Name: Loaded Dice
Level: 4th level
Description: The Arcane Gambler's affinity for
manipulating probability reaches new heights with
the acquisition of the Loaded Dice feature. By
enchanting their dice, the Gambler gains the ability to
alter the outcome of chance, granting them an
advantage when they need it most.
Usage: The Loaded Dice feature allows the Arcane
Gambler to influence the outcome of dice rolls,
providing an edge in various situations, both in and
out of combat.
Mechanics: When making an ability check, attack
roll, or saving throw, the Arcane Gambler can choose
to activate the Loaded Dice feature. They can roll an
additional d20 and add the result to the original roll.
Additionally, the Gambler can choose to reroll any 1s
or 2s on the additional d20 once, accepting the new
396
Hexmaster
result.
Limitations: The Loaded Dice feature can be used a
number of times equal to the Gambler's Charisma
modifier (minimum of 1), and all uses are restored
after a long rest. The feature cannot be used on dice
rolls made by other creatures.
Name: Fickle Fortune
Level: 6th level
Description: Fickle Fortune is a class feature that
embodies the unpredictable nature of the Arcane
Gambler's magic. It allows the Arcane Gambler to
manipulate fate and probability to their advantage,
introducing an element of chance into their spells
and abilities.
Usage: Fickle Fortune can be used both in combat
and outside of combat to alter the outcome of
actions, turning the tide in unexpected ways.
Mechanics: At 6th level, the Arcane Gambler gains
the ability to enhance their spells and abilities with a
random effect. Once per turn, when the Arcane
Gambler casts a spell or uses an ability, they can
choose to invoke Fickle Fortune. When invoked, the
Arcane Gambler rolls a d20 and consults the Fickle
Fortune table to determine the random effect that is
applied to the spell or ability. The effects can range
from bonus damage, additional targets, altered
durations, or even unexpected side effects.
Limitations: The use of Fickle Fortune is subject to
certain limitations. The Arcane Gambler can only
invoke Fickle Fortune once per turn, and they must
declare the use of this feature before rolling the d20.
Additionally, Fickle Fortune cannot be used on spells
or abilities that already have random effects built into
them.

control probability in both combat and non-combat
situations.
Mechanics:
397
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
Lucky Manipulation: Once per turn, when you make
a roll with advantage or disadvantage, you can
manipulate luck itself. If you have advantage, you
can choose to reroll both dice and take the new
result. If you have disadvantage, you can choose to
reroll both dice and take the new result.

only be used once per turn.
Name: Unpredictable Defense
Level: 8th level
Description: Unpredictable Defense is a class
feature that enhances the Arcane Gambler's ability to
evade attacks and confound their opponents with
unexpected defensive maneuvers.
Usage: Unpredictable Defense is typically used in
combat situations to avoid or mitigate incoming
attacks and create confusion among enemies.
Mechanics: When an enemy makes an attack
against the Arcane Gambler, they can use their
reaction to activate Unpredictable Defense. The
Arcane Gambler rolls a d20 and adds their Charisma
modifier to the result. The total is subtracted from the
enemy's attack roll, potentially lowering or even
negating the attack's effectiveness. Additionally, if
the modified attack roll is reduced to 0 or lower, the
enemy's attack automatically misses, and the Arcane
Gambler gains advantage on their next attack
against that enemy.
Limitations: Unpredictable Defense can be used a
number of times equal to the Arcane Gambler's
Charisma modifier (minimum of 1). The feature
replenishes after a short or long rest.
Name: Card Trick
Level: 9th level
Description: The Arcane Gambler has honed their
mastery over their gaming set to perform
extraordinary feats of card manipulation and illusion.
With a flick of the wrist and a whisper of arcane
incantations, they can conjure forth a deck of
enchanted cards that unleash powerful effects upon
their foes.
Usage: The Card Trick feature allows the Arcane
Gambler to summon a deck of magical cards and
unleash their arcane might upon their enemies. They
can manipulate the cards to deal damage, debuff
opponents, or support their allies.
Mechanics: When using the Card Trick feature, the
Arcane Gambler conjures a deck of enchanted cards
that contains a total of 10 cards. Each card
represents a different magical effect, and the
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
Gambler draws a random card to play. The effects of
the cards can vary widely, ranging from direct
damage to debilitating curses or beneficial buffs. The
damage, duration, and other mechanics of each
card's effect are determined by the Gambler's level
and the spellcasting ability.
The Arcane Gambler can use the Card Trick feature
a number of times equal to their Charisma modifier
(minimum of 1), and they regain all expended uses
after finishing a long rest.
Limitations: While the Card Trick feature provides
the Arcane Gambler with a versatile array of abilities,
it is subject to chance. The Gambler must rely on the
luck of the draw to determine which card they can
play, adding an element of unpredictability to their
magic. Additionally, the Gambler cannot use the
Card Trick feature if they are unable to use their
spellcasting abilities (e.g., under the effects of an
anti-magic field).
1 Arcane Blast: Unleashes a wave of arcane energy,
dealing 6d6 force damage to all creatures within a
20-foot radius of the Gambler.
2 Crippling Curse: Afflicts a target creature with
disadvantage on all attack rolls and saving throws for
1 minute.
3 Fortune's Favor: Grants advantage on all ability
checks, saving throws, and attack rolls to the

4 Shadowstep: Teleports the Gambler instantly to a
location of their choice within 60 feet, bypassing any
barriers or obstacles.
5 Mirror Shield: Creates a shimmering barrier of
reflective magic around the Gambler, granting them
resistance to all damage for 1 minute.
6 Gambler's Gambit: Manipulates fate to the
Gambler's advantage, allowing them to reroll any
three ability checks, saving throws, or attack rolls
made within the next minute.
7 Wild Surge: Triggers a surge of chaotic magical
energy, causing a random magical effect (such as
turning invisible, polymorphing into a different
creature, or summoning a celestial ally) to occur
within a 30-foot radius of the Gambler.
8 Soothing Serenade: Channels soothing melodies
that restore 4d8 hit points to the Gambler and their
allies within 30 feet, as well as removing any charm
or fear effects.
9 Phantom Mirage: Creates illusory duplicates of the
Gambler, confusing their enemies. The duplicates
mimic the Gambler's movements and actions,
making it difficult to discern which one is real.
10 Fateshifter's Blessing: Temporarily alters the flow
of time, allowing the Gambler to take an additional
398
Hexmaster
turn immediately after their current one. This extra
turn can be used for movement, action, and bonus
actions.
Name: Roll Again
Level: 10th level
Description: Roll Again is a class feature that allows
the Arcane Gambler to manipulate fate and alter the
outcome of their dice rolls. With this ability, they can
seize control of probability, rerolling any dice they
choose to influence the course of events.
Usage: Roll Again is primarily used during combat
encounters or whenever dice rolls are involved, both
in and out of combat. It empowers the Arcane
Gambler to rewrite destiny in their favor, granting
them an edge in crucial moments.
Mechanics: Once per long rest, the Arcane Gambler
can activate Roll Again as a bonus action. When a
dice roll is made by the Arcane Gambler or any
creature within 30 feet of them, the Arcane Gambler
can choose to reroll the dice. This includes attack
rolls, saving throws, ability checks, or any other dice
rolls.
Limitations: Roll Again can only be used once per
long rest, and it can only be activated as a bonus
action. Additionally, the feature can only be used on
dice rolls made by the Arcane Gambler or within 30
feet of them.
Name: Unseen Gambit
Level: 10th level
Description: Unseen Gambit allows the Arcane
Gambler to exploit the mystical energies surrounding
them, making their movements and actions
unpredictable and difficult to anticipate.
Usage: Unseen Gambit is primarily used in combat
to enhance the Arcane Gambler's evasiveness and
provide opportunities for surprise attacks or clever
maneuvering. It can also be utilized outside of
combat to overcome obstacles or outwit adversaries
in non-combat situations.
Mechanics: When you activate Unseen Gambit, you
gain the following benefits for 1 minute:
Evasive Presence: While Unseen Gambit is active,
any enemy creature that attempts to make an
opportunity attack against you has disadvantage on
the attack roll. Additionally, you can move up to half
your movement speed without provoking opportunity
attacks.
Misdirection: Once per turn, when you make an
attack roll against a creature, you can choose to
make it with advantage. However, if the attack hits,
the creature is immune to this feature until the end of
Hexmaster
your next turn.
Slippery Mind: You have advantage on saving throws
against being charmed or frightened, and you can
use your reaction to gain advantage on a Wisdom or
Charisma saving throw.
Limitations: Unseen Gambit can be used once per
long rest. Its effects last for 1 minute or until you
decide to end them early as a bonus action. Once
activated, the feature cannot be used again until you
finish a long rest or expend a spell slot of 5th level or
higher.
Name: Bet It All
Level: 12th level
Description: Bet It All is a high-stakes class feature
that allows the Arcane Gambler to risk everything in
a daring gamble, potentially reaping tremendous
rewards.
Usage: Bet It All is typically used in pivotal moments
of combat or when the stakes are high outside of
combat. It requires the Arcane Gambler to make a
bold decision that could drastically alter the course of
events.
Mechanics: When activating Bet It All, the Arcane
Gambler chooses a single target within 60 feet that
they can see. They then make a contested Charisma
check against the target's Wisdom saving throw. If
the Arcane Gambler wins the contest, they gain the
following benefits for 1 minute:
Advantage on all attack rolls and saving throws.
The Arcane Gambler's spellcasting ability score is
increased by 4.
All spell save DCs against the Arcane Gambler's
spells increase by 2.
The Arcane Gambler's maximum hit points increase
by 50% of their current hit point total.
Once per turn, the Arcane Gambler can deal an
additional 2d10 damage of the same type as their
spell or weapon attack.
Limitations: Bet It All can only be used once per
long rest, emphasizing its significance and rarity. The
effects of Bet It All end prematurely if the Arcane
Gambler becomes incapacitated or dies. Additionally,
if the Charisma contest is lost, the Arcane Gambler
gains no benefits and suffers disadvantage on all
attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks for 1
minute.
Name: Master of Games
Level: 13th level
Description: The Master of Games feature
represents the pinnacle of the Arcane Gambler's
mastery over the unpredictable forces of chance and
399
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
luck. At this level, they become a true maestro of
their chosen gaming set, capable of bending fate to
their will and achieving extraordinary feats.
Usage: The Master of Games feature is utilized both
in combat and outside of combat, allowing the
Arcane Gambler to manipulate the outcomes of
various situations through their unparalleled
understanding of probabilities and luck.
Mechanics:
Fortune's Gambit: As an action, you can expend a
spell slot to roll a number of dice equal to the level of
the spell slot expended. The total rolled on these
dice represents the "luck" you have accumulated,
which can be stored and used throughout the next
minute. This luck can be expended to modify the
outcomes of rolls made by you or your allies. For
each luck point spent, you can add or subtract a
bonus equal to the number rolled on your stored dice
to any d20 roll made by you or an ally within 30 feet.
The bonus can be applied after the initial roll but
before the result is determined.
Unpredictable Fortune: Once per long rest, when you
roll initiative, you can choose to roll an additional d20
and replace your initiative score with the result of the
second roll. Additionally, you gain advantage on all
saving throws until the start of your next turn.
Limitations: The Fortune's Gambit feature can only
store luck accumulated from expending a spell slot,
and the accumulated luck dissipates after one minute
or when fully expended. The Unpredictable Fortune
feature can only be used once per long rest and is
limited to initiative rolls.
Variants: None
Flavor: The Master of Games is the epitome of the
Arcane Gambler's connection with the chaotic forces
of chance. At this level, their mastery over the
probabilities becomes so refined that they can
literally reshape the outcomes of events by
manipulating the very fabric of luck. They can
influence the rolling of dice, the drawing of cards,
and the flip of coins to their advantage, ensuring that
fortune smiles upon them and their allies.
Examples:
In combat, the Arcane Gambler expends a 3rd-level
spell slot to activate Fortune's Gambit. They roll 3d6,
resulting in a total of 10. When their ally makes an
attack roll and gets a result of 12, the Arcane
Gambler spends 2 luck points, adding a +10 bonus
to the roll, turning it into a 22 and securing a critical
hit.
Outside of combat, the Arcane Gambler finds
themselves in a high-stakes game of chance against
a skilled opponent. Using their Unpredictable Fortune
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
feature, they roll a second d20 for their initiative,
obtaining a result of 19. This allows them to act
swiftly, gaining an advantage on all saving throws
and keeping their opponent off balance with
unexpected maneuvers.
While exploring a treacherous dungeon, the party
encounters a series of deadly traps. The Arcane
Gambler uses Fortune's Gambit to accumulate luck
points by expending spell slots. They then spend
these luck points to grant their allies bonuses on their
Dexterity saving throws, enabling them to avoid the
worst effects of the traps and navigate through the
dangers unscathed.
Name: Wild Card
Level: 14th level
Description: The Wild Card feature represents the
pinnacle of the Arcane Gambler's unpredictability
and mastery over chance. They become a living
embodiment of chaos and luck, capable of
manipulating fate to their advantage.
Usage: The Wild Card feature is primarily used in
combat situations to create unpredictable outcomes
and turn the tide of battle in the Arcane Gambler's
favor. It can also be utilized outside of combat for
various creative and unexpected purposes.
Mechanics: When you reach 14th level, you gain the
following abilities as part of the Wild Card feature:
Twist of Fate: Once per long rest, as a bonus action,
you can roll a d20 and store the result. You can
replace any attack roll, ability check, or saving throw
you make with the stored result before the end of
your next turn.
Reality Bender: Once per long rest, as an action, you
can cast the spell "Wish" without any material
component cost. However, the spell's effect is
determined randomly. Roll a d100 and consult the
table below:
01-20: The Wish spell fails, and you suffer a minor
backlash, taking 1d10 psychic damage per level of
the spell.
21-75: The Wish spell functions as intended,
replicating any non-epic spell of 8th level or lower.
76-90: The Wish spell's effect is exaggerated,
producing unpredictable and chaotic results. The DM
determines the specific outcome, taking into account
the current situation and the nature of the wish.
91-100: The Wish spell exceeds all expectations. Its
effect is maximized, and any limitations or drawbacks
are removed. The wish becomes a reality in the most
advantageous way possible.
Limitations: The use of Twist of Fate and Reality
Bender is limited to once per long rest. The chaotic
400
Hexmaster
nature of these abilities reflects the unpredictable
nature of the Arcane Gambler, and they can have
both beneficial and detrimental outcomes.
Variants: None
Flavor: As a Wild Card, you tap into the raw essence
of chance and bend reality to your whim. Your
presence in battle becomes an enigma, causing
uncertainty and doubt in the hearts of your enemies.
Your spells and actions take on an ephemeral
quality, surrounded by shimmering trails of colored
light that weave and dance in the air.
Examples:
In a critical moment, you are facing a powerful
enemy about to land a fatal blow on your ally. With
Twist of Fate, you replace your own saving throw
with the stored result, causing the enemy's attack to
miss, and swiftly counter with a devastating spell of
your own.
Outside of combat, you stumble upon a locked door
blocking your path. Using Reality Bender, you cast
Wish, hoping to bypass the obstacle. By rolling a 76-
90, the door vanishes entirely, revealing a hidden
treasure room filled with valuable artifacts and
ancient lore.
During a tense negotiation with a powerful NPC, you
decide to take a risk and use Reality Bender to cast
Wish. By rolling a 91-100, your wish is granted in a
way that dramatically sways the NPC's opinion in
your favor, securing their allegiance and averting a
potential conflict.
15th level: Double or Nothing
Name: Double or Nothing
Level: 15th
Description: Double or Nothing is a daring and risky
power that allows the Arcane Gambler to make a
high-stakes wager with their own life force. They can
choose to push themselves to the limits, risking their
hit points in exchange for a surge of magical power
and a chance to turn the tide of battle in their favor.
Usage: Double or Nothing is typically used when the
Arcane Gambler finds themselves in a dire situation
or when they want to deliver a devastating blow to
their enemies. It requires a calculated risk, as the
outcome can either lead to victory or put the Arcane
Gambler in a precarious situation.
Mechanics: When activating Double or Nothing, the
Arcane Gambler designates a target within 60 feet
and declares their wager, specifying the number of
hit points they are willing to risk. The gambler's hit
points are immediately reduced by the specified
amount. The target must make a Charisma saving
throw against the gambler's spell save DC or suffer
Hexmaster
the consequences.
The consequences of Double or Nothing depend on
the outcome of a percentile dice roll:
Roll Result 1-50: Backfire - The Arcane Gambler's
gamble fails, and they suffer additional damage
equal to half the hit points they wagered. The target
is unaffected.
Roll Result 51-90: Success - The Arcane Gambler's
wager pays off, and the target takes damage equal
to the hit points wagered, as magical energy surges
from the gambler. The gambler suffers no further
consequences.
Roll Result 91-100: Jackpot - The Arcane Gambler's
gamble exceeds all expectations. The target takes
damage equal to three times the hit points wagered,
and the gambler regains hit points equal to half the
damage dealt.
Limitations: The Arcane Gambler can use Double
or Nothing once per long rest. The hit points wagered
cannot exceed the Arcane Gambler's current hit
points. Additionally, the Arcane Gambler cannot use
Double or Nothing if they have fewer hit points
remaining than the number they wish to wager.
Variants: None.
Flavor: As the Arcane Gambler activates Double or
Nothing, the air crackles with electric anticipation.
The gambler's gaming set radiates an eerie glow,
and the cards, dice, or coin tremble with excitement.
Time seems to slow down as the gambler places
their bet, their fate hanging in the balance. The
outcome of the wager is accompanied by a surge of
arcane energy, leaving the air charged and crackling
with residual magic.
Examples:
In a desperate attempt to defeat a powerful dragon,
the Arcane Gambler activates Double or Nothing,
wagering half of their remaining hit points. The dice
are rolled, and luck favors them with a roll result of
91. A surge of energy erupts from the gambler,
dealing three times the wagered hit points as
damage to the dragon, and the gambler is
revitalized, regaining half the damage dealt.
During a skirmish with a group of bandits, the Arcane
Gambler decides to take a risk and activate Double
or Nothing, wagering a significant portion of their hit
points. The roll result comes up as 34, and the
gambler's gamble backfires. The bandits notice the
gambler's vulnerability and seize the opportunity,
dealing 1d6 additional damage to the already
weakened gambler.
In a tense standoff with an ancient lich, the Arcane
Gambler realizes the odds are against them. They
decide to go all-in and activate Double or Nothing,
401
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
wagering their remaining hit points. The roll result is
78, resulting in a successful outcome. The lich is
engulfed in a powerful surge of magical energy,
taking significant damage as the gambler's gamble
pays off, turning the tide of the battle in their favor.
Name: Charm of Chance
Level: 16th level
Description: The Charm of Chance is a powerful
ability that allows the Arcane Gambler to manipulate
fate itself, granting them unparalleled control over the
outcomes of dice rolls.
Usage: The Arcane Gambler can use the Charm of
Chance to influence any die roll made by
themselves, other players, or the Hex Master (DM),
ensuring a specific result.
Mechanics: Once per day, the Arcane Gambler can
invoke the Charm of Chance to choose the exact
result of any die roll. This includes attack rolls, saving
throws, ability checks, and any other roll involving
dice. The chosen result must be within the range of
the original roll, and it overrides any natural roll or
modifiers.
Limitations: The Charm of Chance can only be
used once per day, requiring the Arcane Gambler to
carefully consider when to employ this extraordinary
ability. Additionally, the chosen result must still be
within the possible range of the original roll, meaning
the Gambler cannot choose an outcome that is
mechanically impossible.
Variants: The Arcane Gambler may discover an
enhanced version of the Charm of Chance through a
significant quest or story arc, gaining the ability to
use it more than once per day or expanding its range
of influence.
Flavor: As the Arcane Gambler reaches the pinnacle
of their powers, they become attuned to the
underlying currents of probability and chance. The
Charm of Chance represents their ultimate mastery
over these forces, enabling them to manipulate the
very fabric of reality to their advantage. When
invoking this ability, the Gambler's eyes may briefly
glow with a shimmering, otherworldly light, and the
surrounding air crackles with an electric energy.
They reach out with their hand, as if reaching into the
tapestry of fate itself, to mold the outcome of the
imminent roll.
Examples: In a critical combat situation, the Arcane
Gambler's ally is about to make a saving throw
against a deadly spell. Sensing the urgency, the
Gambler activates the Charm of Chance and
guarantees that their comrade succeeds the saving
throw, narrowly avoiding a fatal outcome. In a
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
negotiation with a powerful NPC, the Gambler uses
the Charm of Chance to ensure a high roll on their
Charisma-based persuasion check, swaying the
NPC to their side and securing a crucial alliance.
Alternatively, when faced with a seemingly
insurmountable challenge, such as an impenetrable
door, the Arcane Gambler activates the Charm of
Chance to roll a natural 20 on their Strength check,
unexpectedly shattering the door and surprising their
entire party with their incredible feat of strength.
17th level: Fate’s Favor
Name: Fate's Favor
Level: 17th
Description: Fate's Favor is a potent ability that
allows the Arcane Gambler to manipulate the threads
of destiny itself, altering the course of events in their
favor. They gain the ability to reshape the outcome of
certain rolls, turning failure into success and ensuring
that fortune smiles upon them when it matters most.
Usage: Fate's Favor is primarily used to influence
dice rolls and alter the outcome of events. It can be
employed both in combat and outside of combat,
providing the Arcane Gambler with unparalleled
control over their own destiny.
Mechanics: When you or a creature within 30 feet of
you makes an attack roll, an ability check, or a
saving throw, you can use your reaction to invoke
Fate's Favor. The roll is treated as if it were a natural
20, guaranteeing a critical success. This ability can
be used a number of times equal to your Charisma
modifier (minimum of 1), and you regain all
expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Limitations: Fate's Favor can only be used on rolls
made by you or creatures within 30 feet of you.
Additionally, this ability can only be used a limited
number of times, as determined by your Charisma
modifier. Once you have used all your available
uses, you must finish a long rest before you can use
Fate's Favor again.
Variants: As a variant option, the Arcane Gambler
can choose to invoke Fate's Unravel instead of
Fate's Favor. Instead of guaranteeing a critical
success, Fate's Unravel allows you to treat the roll as
if it were a natural 1, ensuring a critical failure. This
variant can add an extra layer of chaos and
unpredictability to the gameplay.
Flavor: When invoking Fate's Favor, the Arcane
Gambler taps into the ethereal weave of chance and
destiny, causing reality to ripple and twist around
them. The air shimmers with iridescent hues, and
their gaming set glows with a mysterious,
otherworldly light. It's as if the very laws of probability
402
Hexmaster
bend to their will, aligning the stars in their favor.
Examples:
In the heat of battle, a powerful dragon is about to
unleash a devastating breath attack on your party.
Knowing the dire consequences, you use Fate's
Favor to ensure that your friend's Dexterity saving
throw is an automatic success, allowing them to
evade the blast unscathed.
While navigating a treacherous dungeon, your party
comes across a series of traps. As you lead the way,
you employ Fate's Favor to guarantee critical
successes on your Dexterity checks, deftly avoiding
each trap and safely guiding your companions
through the deadly maze.
During a tense negotiation with a powerful crime lord,
you attempt to convince them to spare your lives.
Sensing the dire stakes, you invoke Fate's Favor on
your Charisma-based Persuasion check, ensuring
that your words strike a chord and persuading the
crime lord to reconsider their plans.
Name: Gambler’s Aura
Level: 18th level
Description: Gambler's Aura is an extraordinary
class feature that enhances the Arcane Gambler's
innate connection to chance and fortune. At this
level, the Arcane Gambler becomes a living
embodiment of luck, radiating an aura that influences
the outcomes of events around them.
Usage: Gambler's Aura is a passive ability that
affects both the Arcane Gambler and their allies
within a certain radius. It provides a potent boon to
their party members and amplifies the chaotic nature
of the Gambler's own abilities.
Mechanics: The Gambler's Aura has a radius of 30
feet. While the Arcane Gambler is conscious, the
aura grants the following benefits:
Friendly Creatures: Allies within the Gambler’s Aura
gain the benefits of "Gambler's Luck." Once per turn,
when making an attack roll, saving throw, or ability
check, they can choose to roll a d4 and add the
result to their roll. This additional roll has the
potential to turn the tides of fortune in their favor,
helping them succeed when the odds are against
them.
Serendipitous Surge: Whenever an affected ally rolls
a natural 1 on an attack roll, ability check, or saving
throw, they can reroll the dice once and must use the
Hexmaster
new roll. This allows them to seize a second chance
at success.
Lucky Strikes: Whenever the Arcane Gambler or
their allies make an attack roll, they gain a bonus
equal to the Gambler's Charisma modifier (minimum
+1) to the attack roll.
Hostile Creatures: Enemies within the Gambler’s
Aura suffer from the "Twist of Fate." Once per turn,
when a hostile creature makes an attack roll, saving
throw, or ability check, the Arcane Gambler can force
them to roll a d4 and subtract the result from their
roll. This interference introduces an element of
unpredictability into their actions, increasing the
likelihood of failure.
Name: Queen’s Gambit
Level: 19th level
Description: With the Queen’s Gambit feature, the
Arcane Gambler reaches the pinnacle of their
mastery over chance and fate. They can unleash a
powerful, game-changing effect that can turn the tide
of battle in their favor.
Usage: The Queen’s Gambit feature is typically used
in crucial moments of combat or pivotal situations
outside of combat, where the Arcane Gambler needs
a stroke of extraordinary luck to achieve their
objectives.
Mechanics: Once per long rest, the Arcane Gambler
can invoke the Queen’s Gambit, a high-stakes
gamble that alters the very fabric of reality. The
player rolls a d100 and consults the following table to
determine the effect:
Roll Result: 01-10
Effect: "Fortunate Fates"
Description: All allies within 60 feet gain advantage
on all attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws
for 1 minute.
Roll Result: 11-20
Effect: "Destined Strike"
Description: The Arcane Gambler's next spell or
weapon attack deals maximum damage and
automatically scores a critical hit.
Roll Result: 21-30
Effect: "Mirrored Reflection"
Description: The Arcane Gambler gains a
temporary copy of themselves that possesses all
their abilities and stats. The copy lasts for 1 minute
and acts independently, aiding the party with their
403
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
actions.
Roll Result: 31-40
Effect: "Time Warp"

time, allowing themselves and all allies within 30 feet
to take an additional turn immediately. This effect
lasts for 1 round.
Roll Result: 41-50
Effect: "Karmic Balance"
Description: All damage received by the Arcane
Gambler and their allies for the next minute is
halved, while the damage they deal is doubled.
Roll Result: 51-60

Description: The Arcane Gambler and up to six
willing creatures of their choice are immediately
teleported to a random location within 1,000 miles.
Roll Result: 61-70
Effect: "Fickle Fortune"
Description: The Arcane Gambler gains advantage
on all ability checks, saving throws, and attack rolls
for the next minute.
Roll Result: 71-80
Effect: "Deck of Destiny"
Description: The Arcane Gambler draws five cards
from their gaming set and activates the effects of
each card simultaneously, with the full extent of the
cards' powers determined by the DM.
Roll Result: 81-90
Effect: "Cataclysmic Coin"
Description: The Arcane Gambler tosses a specially
enchanted coin into the air. Upon landing, it
unleashes a devastating explosion, dealing 10d10
force damage to all creatures within a 30-foot radius.
Roll Result: 91-00
Effect: "Cosmic Reversal"
Description: The Arcane Gambler can reverse any
single event that has occurred within the past hour,
altering the outcome in a way that favors the party's
desires.
Limitations: The Queen’s Gambit feature can only
be used once per long rest. The specific effect is
determined by rolling a d100 and referring to the
corresponding table. The feature lasts for a specific
duration or triggers an immediate effect, as
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
described in the effect's description.
Variants: None.
Flavor: As the Arcane Gambler reaches the pinnacle
of their power, the Queen’s Gambit represents a
culmination of their mastery over chance and
destiny. It is an ultimate gamble, an all-or-nothing
wager with the forces of fate. When invoking the
Queen’s Gambit, the Arcane Gambler taps into the
very essence of probability and unleashes a truly
awe-inspiring display of magical prowess. The air
crackles with an electric energy, and a shimmering
aura of swirling cards, dice, and coins surrounds the
Arcane Gambler, signifying the impending
manifestation of a truly monumental change in the
course of events.
Examples:
In a dire battle against a powerful dragon, the Arcane
Gambler, feeling the weight of their party's fate,
invokes the Queen's Gambit. Rolling the d100, they
obtain a result of 81, triggering the "Cataclysmic
Coin" effect. As the enchanted coin explodes upon
impact, the dragon is engulfed in a violent blast of
force, staggering it and dealing massive damage,
turning the tide of the battle in favor of the Arcane
Gambler's allies.
During a negotiation with a cunning and treacherous
noble, the Arcane Gambler, aware of the high stakes
involved, decides to use the Queen's Gambit to
secure a favorable outcome. They roll the d100 and
obtain a result of 20, activating the "Destined Strike"
effect. With their next spell, a bolt of arcane energy
crackles from their fingertips, striking the noble with
incredible precision and power, leaving them stunned
and on the verge of defeat. This sudden show of
strength forces the noble to reconsider their stance,
leading to a more favorable outcome for the party.
Name: All In
Level: 20th level
Description: All In represents the culmination of the
Arcane Gambler's mastery over probability and fate.
It is a high-risk, high-reward ability that allows the
Gambler to channel all their power and luck into a
single decisive action.
Usage: All In is typically used as a climactic move in
combat, serving as a desperate measure when the
stakes are at their highest. Outside of combat, it can
be a tool for the Gambler to manipulate events and
outcomes in their favor.
404
Hexmaster
Mechanics: When activating All In, the Arcane
Gambler expends all their remaining spell slots,
channeling the energy into a single devastating spell.
The spell's effect is determined by rolling a d20 and
consulting a table specifically designed for the All In
ability. Each number on the d20 corresponds to a
unique and powerful effect, ranging from massive
damage to debilitating conditions or game-changing
boons.
The range, duration, and damage dealt by the All In
ability are dependent on the specific spell effect
rolled on the d20. For example, rolling a natural 1
might cause an explosive burst of arcane energy,
dealing damage to all creatures within a 30-foot
radius, while rolling a natural 20 could result in the
Gambler summoning a powerful entity to aid them in
combat for a minute.
Limitations: All In comes with substantial risks. If
the Gambler rolls a number on the d20 that
corresponds to a spell effect that targets creatures or
allies, the Gambler and their allies within the spell's
area of effect are also subject to its consequences.
Additionally, the Gambler must have at least one
remaining spell slot to activate All In.
Variants: The Arcane Gambler can choose to
increase the stakes by wagering their own life force.
By sacrificing a portion of their maximum hit points,
the Gambler gains advantage on the d20 roll,
increasing their chances of rolling a more beneficial
effect. However, this amplification of power carries
the inherent danger of pushing the Gambler closer to
the edge of defeat.
Flavor: As the Arcane Gambler activates All In, the
air crackles with raw magic, and the world seems to
hold its breath in anticipation. The Gambler's eyes
glow with an intense, otherworldly light, and their
gaming set levitates around them, radiating a
kaleidoscope of vibrant colors. It's a mesmerizing
spectacle that draws the attention of allies and
enemies alike, as the fabric of reality seems to bend
under the Gambler's command.
Examples:
In the final battle against a powerful dragon, the
Arcane Gambler decides to go All In. They expend
all their remaining spell slots and roll the d20, hoping
for a favorable outcome. With a roll of 15, the
Gambler's spell transforms the dragon into a
Hexmaster
harmless kitten for 1 minute, turning the tide of the
battle in their favor.
During a high-stakes negotiation with a corrupt
noble, the Arcane Gambler uses All In to sway the
outcome. They sacrifice a portion of their hit points
and roll the d20, hoping for a favorable effect. Rolling
a natural 18, the Gambler's spell compels the noble
to speak only the truth, exposing their deceit and
leading to a swift resolution in the Gambler's favor.
As the party finds themselves surrounded by hordes
of undead, the Arcane Gambler knows that their best
chance of survival is to go All In. With their remaining
spell slots, they roll the d20, hoping for a powerful
offensive effect. Rolling a natural 10, the Gambler's
spell summons a devastating storm of arcane fire,
incinerating the undead in a 60-foot radius but also
causing collateral damage to the party's
surroundings.
1 Cataclysmic Surge: Unleash a cataclysmic surge of
arcane energy, dealing 10d10 force damage to all
creatures within a 30-foot radius. The area becomes

within a 30-foot radius gain advantage on attack
rolls, saving throws, and ability checks for 1 minute.
They also gain resistance to all damage.
4 Blinding Brilliance: A blinding burst of radiant light
erupts from the Gambler, forcing all creatures within
a 30-foot radius to make a Dexterity saving throw.
On a failed save, they are blinded for 1 minute.
5 Twist of Fate: The Gambler can reroll any three
ability checks, attack rolls, or saving throws made in
the next minute, choosing the better result each time.
6 Miraculous Diversion: The Gambler creates illusory
duplicates of themselves, making it impossible for
enemies to discern the real Gambler. All creatures
within a 30-foot radius have disadvantage on attack
rolls against the Gambler for 1 minute.
7 Nethermantic Echo: The Gambler opens a
temporary portal to the Nethermantic Realm,
summoning an otherworldly entity to aid them. A
powerful spectral ally appears and fights alongside
the Gambler for 1 minute.
8 Paradoxical Shift: The Gambler and all allies within
a 60-foot radius gain the effects of the haste spell for
1 minute, and their movement speed is doubled.
9 Serendipitous Blessing: The Gambler and all allies
within a 30-foot radius gain temporary hit points

Chapter 4 Basic Classes
equal to 10 times their level. These hit points last for
1 hour or until depleted.
10 Shroud of Misfortune: The Gambler and all allies
within a 30-foot radius become shrouded in an aura
of misfortune. Any enemy that targets them with an
attack roll must roll a d20. On a roll of 1-10, the
attack automatically misses.
11 Ethereal Gambit: The Gambler and all allies
within a 30-foot radius become ethereal for 1 minute,
allowing them to move through objects and creatures
as if they were difficult terrain.

60-foot radius become invisible for 1 minute or until
they attack or cast a spell.

within the next minute, choosing the desired result
each time.
14 Discordant Lament: The Gambler unleashes a
powerful sonic wave, forcing all creatures within a
30-foot radius to make a Constitution saving throw.
On a failed save, they take 10d8 thunder damage
and are stunned for 1 minute.
15 Arcane Phantasmagoria: The Gambler creates a
dazzling spectacle of illusory images and sounds,
bewildering all creatures within a 60-foot radius.
They have disadvantage on attack rolls and ability
checks for 1 minute.
16 Imminent Destiny: The Gambler can choose the
outcome of any three ability checks, attack rolls, or
saving throws made by themselves or their allies
within the next minute, ensuring the desired result
each time.
17 Prismatic Surge: The Gambler releases a
prismatic surge of magical energy, causing a random
effect determined by rolling a D8:
1-2: All enemies within a 30-foot radius take 10d6
acid damage.
3-4: All enemies within a 30-foot radius take 10d6
cold damage and are restrained for 1 minute.

allies within a 30-foot radius regain all expended hit
points, and all negative conditions affecting them are
removed. They are also immune to all damage for 1
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
minute.
20 Ascendant Fates: The Gambler's true potential is
unlocked. They can freely choose three different
spell effects from this table, activating them
simultaneously and applying their effects to any
desired targets within range. These effects persist for
1 minute, creating a truly awe-inspiring display of
power.
Name: Gambler's Glow
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: Cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Target: One small object
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Gambler's Glow is a wondrous cantrip that taps into
the mystical energies of chance and fortune. It grants
the caster the power to imbue a small object with a
soft, ethereal light that shimmers with the colors of
luck. Commonly used by gamblers, illusionists, and
adventurers seeking an edge in games of chance or
stealthy endeavors, this spell is as versatile as it is
captivating.
Upon casting the spell, the caster utters a melodious
incantation in an ancient tongue while performing a
series of intricate hand gestures that seem to mimic
the flickering dance of candle flames. With a gentle
touch, they transfer a glimmering aura to a chosen
small object, like a playing card, a pair of dice, a
lockpick, or even a coin.
The glowing light radiates a warm, comforting glow
within a 5-foot radius, revealing hidden creases or
markings on the object if any are present. The
illumination does not, however, provide enough light
to illuminate an entire area.
Enhanced Effects:
When casting Gambler's Glow using a spell slot of
2nd level or higher, the duration of the spell extends
by an additional minute for each slot level above 1st.
Furthermore, the range of the glowing aura increases
by 5 feet for each level above 1st, allowing the caster
to make objects at a distance shine with the
enigmatic light of luck.
Limitations:
406
Hexmaster
Gambler's Glow, being a spell of chance, can only
affect inanimate objects and not living creatures.
Furthermore, once the glowing object is used for any
specific purpose, such as marking a card or rolling
the dice, the spell fades away, and the object returns
to its normal state.
Casting:
The casting of Gambler's Glow requires a touch of
showmanship to work effectively. The verbal
component is a melodic chant that varies from caster
to caster, often accompanied by phrases evoking
notions of fate, luck, and uncertainty. The somatic
component consists of intricate finger movements
that mimic the swirling patterns of a gambler's dance.
Flavor:
As Gambler's Glow is cast, a low, lilting hum fills the
air, reminiscent of the distant hum of a busy casino
floor. The magical energy surrounding the caster
crackles with a faint iridescent shimmer. When the
spell takes effect, the chosen object is wrapped in a
delicate, ethereal glow. The colors of the glow shift in
an entrancing, almost hypnotic display, representing
the ever-changing nature of fate and fortune. The
light itself carries a slight warmth, akin to a
welcoming embrace, bringing forth an air of
anticipation and hope.
Name: Lucky Draw
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 1
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Target: One deck of cards or pair of dice
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a card from
a deck or a single die, which the spell consumes)
Duration: 10 minutes
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
In the universe of arcane power, some spells
resonate with the primal forces of creation, while
others dance on the razor's edge between chaos and
order. Lucky Draw falls into the latter category, a
spell that takes the purest form of uncertainty, a
game of chance, and whispers hints of
predetermination into its ear.
When you cast this spell, you subtly infuse the target
object, a deck of cards or a pair of dice, with an
intricate lattice of transmutative magic. This
unnoticeable shift in its magical aura alters the
Hexmaster
probabilities of the games of chance played with it,
giving the caster a slight edge. When the caster uses
the enchanted deck or dice in a game of chance
within the spell's duration, they get to roll twice and
choose the more favorable result.
The spell doesn't affect any skill-based games or
activities where chance isn't a primary factor, or
games where the enchanted item isn't directly
involved. It also can't affect the outcomes determined
by others who use the enchanted item; the magic is
attuned to the caster's specific energies.
Upon casting the spell using a 2nd level or higher
spell slot, the duration increases by 10 minutes for
each level above 1st. In addition, when cast using a
5th level or higher spell slot, the caster can affect
one additional deck of cards or pair of dice for each
level above 4th.
Casting:
To cast Lucky Draw, the spellcaster needs to hold
the card or die used as the material component and
whisper the incantation, then flick it lightly with a
finger. As the component disintegrates, its essence
is absorbed by the deck or dice being targeted,
making them an embodiment of the spellcaster's will
on the fabric of chance. The whispered words of the
incantation vary widely among casters, often
revolving around personal expressions of luck,
desire, and will.
Flavor:
When cast, a shimmering cascade of ethereal dice
and cards spins around the caster's hand, giving off
faint echoes of laughter and the merry chime of
coins, reminiscent of a thriving gambler's den. These
projections swiftly dissolve into the target object,
leaving behind no visible change, but a hint of warm
enchantment to the touch for the caster. To the
attuned senses of the caster, the deck or dice glow
with a subtle golden aura, a promise of fortune
favoring the brave.
Name: Gambler's Guise
School of Magic: Illusion
Level: 2nd level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

Chapter 4 Basic Classes
Description:
Gambler's Guise manifests through a series of
intricate gestures accompanied by a melodious
incantation. The caster's fingers weave an unseen
tapestry of enchantment, and their voice carries the
cadence of unseen spirits whispering their approval.
The spell takes hold, causing a subtle but magical
transformation to occur. The caster's eyes shimmer
with a mesmerizing glint, and a faint, ethereal aura
surrounds their form, making them appear slightly
larger than life.
While under the influence of Gambler's Guise, the
caster gains a +2 bonus to Charisma-based skill
checks, such as Persuasion, Deception, and
Intimidation. Their voice becomes more persuasive
and charismatic, and their body language exudes
confidence, making others instinctively more inclined
to trust and respect them.
Additionally, during games of chance, such as card
games or dice rolls, the caster gains a slight edge in
their favor. Luck seems to tilt ever so slightly in their
direction, influencing the outcomes in subtle but
significant ways. However, this influence is not
strong enough to guarantee victory; it merely tips the
scales a bit, requiring the caster's own skill and
strategy to make the most of the advantage.
Casting Gambler's Guise at higher spell levels
increases the potency of its effects. When cast using
a 3rd-level spell slot or higher, the bonus to
Charisma-based skill checks increases by +1 for
each level above 2nd.
Casting:
To perform the Gambler's Guise, the caster must
have a small, high-quality gemstone, preferably a
polished sapphire or an opal, which is consumed
during the casting process. The gemstone serves as
a conduit to channel the magical energies required
for the spell's effect.
Flavor:
As the caster commences the spell, a faint
shimmering radiance emanates from their fingertips,
tracing an intricate pattern in the air. The enchanting
incantation weaves through the ambient sounds like
a distant, enchanting melody. The air seems to hold
its breath, and a soft, alluring fragrance fills the area,
drawing attention to the caster's presence. Subtle
flashes of silvery light play across the caster's eyes,
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
accentuating their mystical transformation. Those
who witness the spell being cast may experience a
fleeting moment of doubt, as if reality itself has
become entwined with illusion, leaving them to
question whether their eyes can truly be trusted.
As the spell takes full effect, the caster appears to
stand taller, their bearing more regal, and their charm
more captivating than ever. This magical disguise
remains in place, subtly shifting and adapting to each
social interaction, ensuring the caster's every word
carries the allure of truth and magnetism. In games
of chance, a faint, ephemeral glow surrounds the
caster's hands or dice, almost imperceptible to the
untrained eye, but ever-present as a reminder of the
magical advantage bestowed upon them.
To the keen observer, it may seem as if Lady Luck
herself has taken an interest in the caster's fortunes,
smiling ever so gently upon their endeavors. But in
truth, it is the brilliance of Gambler's Guise, a spell
that unlocks the untapped potential of persuasion,
charm, and fate's delicate dance, all woven into an
intricate tapestry of science and fantasy.
Name: Bet High, Win High
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a pair of
dice made from precious gemstones)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Constitution saving throw
Spell Resistance: No
Description: Bet High, Win High is a spell shrouded
in an aura of daring and chance, invoking the thrilling
essence of gambling itself. When cast, the caster's
eyes flare up with a golden glint, and a playful breeze
of arcane energy surrounds them, whisking their hair
and cloak in a mesmerizing dance. The caster
chooses an amount of hit points they are willing to
risk, up to a maximum equal to their current hit point
maximum.
After deciding on the wager, the caster must succeed
on a Constitution saving throw, attempting to outwit
the magical whims of fortune. On a successful save,
they will only lose half of the hit points they bet, and
the spell will still take effect, though the risk will be
408
Hexmaster
significantly lower. On a failed save, the caster loses
all the hit points they put on the line, paying the price
for daring to play with fate.
The effect of Bet High, Win High depends on the
number of hit points wagered:
Low Wager (1-25% of max HP): The caster gains a
momentary surge of luck, granting them advantage
on their next attack roll, saving throw, or ability
check, symbolizing the minor but favorable turn of
events that fate provides.
Medium Wager (26-50% of max HP): The caster's
luck intensifies, and they gain advantage on all
attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks for the
spell's duration. Additionally, they deal an extra 2d6
damage with weapon attacks or offensive spells, as
they ride the crest of fortune's wave.
High Wager (51-75% of max HP): Fortune smiles
widely upon the caster, granting them immunity to
any fear, charm, or mind-controlling effects. They
also gain resistance to all damage types, as if the
elements themselves favor their survival.
Maximum Wager (76-100% of max HP): This is the
ultimate gamble, reserved for those who believe in
the supreme supremacy of chance. At this pinnacle
of risk, the caster becomes an avatar of fortune,
gaining all the benefits of the previous levels, and in
addition, their spellcasting ability modifier becomes a
+4, as their magical prowess ascends beyond normal
limits.
Casting: To cast Bet High, Win High, the caster
must perform a complex sequence of hand gestures,
swirling the pair of precious gemstone dice in a
mesmerizing pattern while chanting an ancient
incantation that speaks of daring the fates. The
caster must be in a location with an element of risk or
excitement present, such as a bustling marketplace,
a lively tavern, or a gambling den. The material
component, the pair of gemstone dice, must be a
cherished possession of the caster, signifying their
willingness to partake in the gamble of life.
Flavor: As the Bet High, Win High spell is cast, the
surroundings seem to transform into a grand casino,
even if only for a moment. The air crackles with the
electrifying energy of chance, and the caster's voice
resonates with a captivating charm, reminiscent of
the smooth-talking gamblers who have challenged
Hexmaster
fate throughout history. The gemstone dice glow with
an inner light, swirling and dancing in mid-air as if
possessed by a mischievous spirit, while faint
echoes of cheers and applause fill the air, heralding
the unseen spectators who seem to gather from the
very essence of luck itself.
Name: Wild Card
School of Magic: Evocation
Level: 4
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Target: One creature or object
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a deck of
enchanted cards)
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Varies (see description)
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: Wild Card is a spell steeped in the
chaos of the cosmos. When cast, the spellcaster
draws upon the mysterious forces of chance,
manipulating the very fabric of probability. The
material component, a deck of enchanted cards,
serves as a conduit for the randomness about to be
unleashed. Upon casting, the spellcaster throws the
deck into the air, and as the cards scatter and spin, a
single card hovers before them, revealing its fate.
The card drawn from the deck determines the effect
of the spell, and the outcomes are as follows:
Arcane Blast: A surge of raw magical energy erupts
from the card, targeting a single creature within
range. The target must make a Dexterity saving
throw or take 6d10 force damage on a failed save, or
half as much damage on a successful one.
Ethereal Shield: A shimmering ethereal barrier
envelops the caster or an ally of their choice within
range. The target gains resistance to all damage
types until the end of their next turn.
Confusion: The card releases a perplexing aura that
surrounds all creatures within a 20-foot radius
centered on the target point. Each affected creature
must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be
charmed and unable to take reactions until the start
of its next turn.
Fortune's Favor: The card grants advantage on the
next attack roll, ability check, or saving throw made
409
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
by the caster or an ally of their choice within the next
minute.
Dimensional Shift: The target creature is teleported
to a random location within 60 feet. A successful
Charisma saving throw negates the effect.
Reality Warp: The laws of physics momentarily break
down around the target. It must make an Intelligence
saving throw or be restrained by reality-warping
energies for 1 minute.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When casting Wild Card using a spell slot of 5th level
or higher, roll a d6 and add the spell slot level to
determine the outcome. For example, if cast with a
5th-level spell slot, roll a d6 and add 5 to the result to
determine the effect.
Casting: To cast Wild Card, the spellcaster must be
in a place where the boundaries between reality and
the mystical are thin, such as atop a high mountain
peak under a full moon or within the ruins of an
ancient and forgotten temple. The spell requires a
clear and precise incantation, and the gesture of
throwing the enchanted card deck into the air must
be executed with unwavering determination.
Flavor: As the spell is cast, the air crackles with an
electric charge, and the deck of enchanted cards
trembles with otherworldly power. The chosen card
glows with an ethereal light, and as it hovers before
the spellcaster, a soft whispering fills the air, as if
unseen forces are speaking the fate of the universe.
The card's face depicts a myriad of cosmic symbols
and shifting patterns, and its appearance alone hints
at the unpredictable and awe-inspiring events about
to unfold. The spell leaves behind a lingering scent of
ozone and a faint shimmering aura, marking the
passage of the spell's enigmatic energy through
space and time.
The Wild Card spell embodies the enigmatic essence
of the universe, offering an unpredictable twist to any
situation, as it draws upon the whims of destiny to
determine its effect. Those who dare to wield this
spell must be prepared to embrace the chaos and
uncertainty that comes with harnessing the powers of
the cosmos.
Name: Dealer's Choice
School of Magic: Transmutation
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
Level: 5
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Dealer's Choice is a spell that grants the caster the
power to manipulate the fundamental elements of
their spells. By invoking the intricate laws of
transmutation, the spellcaster gains the ability to alter
the damage type of another spell they cast within the
next minute. This mystical flexibility allows them to
adapt their arcane power to the situation at hand,
exploiting their enemy's weaknesses or maximizing
the effectiveness of their offensive spells.
When the caster activates Dealer's Choice, a
luminescent, shifting aura envelops them, blending
the colors of the elemental spectrum. The
spellcaster's eyes briefly glow with an otherworldly
hue, signifying that they have become the master of
their spell's destiny. The next spell they cast during
the spell's duration can be imbued with a new
damage type of their choosing.
Enhanced Effects:
If Dealer's Choice is cast using a spell slot of 6th
level or higher, the spell's duration increases by 1
minute for each level above 5th. Additionally, the
caster gains the ability to change the damage type of
two spells within the extended duration, further
showcasing their mastery over elemental
transmutation.
Casting:
To invoke Dealer's Choice, the caster must weave an
intricate series of gestures, their hands tracing an
intricate pattern in the air as they chant a
mesmerizing incantation that harkens back to the
ancient dialects of lost civilizations. During this
casting process, the caster must be unwavering in
their focus and concentration, immersing themselves
in the mystical energies flowing through them.
Flavor:
As the spell takes effect, the air around the caster
shimmers with ephemeral motes of iridescent light,
twinkling like stars on a clear night. The sound of
faint, distant chimes and the rustling of unseen
410
Hexmaster
leaves fill the air, carrying whispers from distant
realms. As the caster selects the damage type for
their forthcoming spell, the aura surrounding them
intensifies in hue, glowing brightly with the color of
the chosen element, be it crackling blue for lightning,
fiery red for fire, icy blue for cold, or earthen brown
for acid.
Name: Gambler's Fate
School of Magic: Divination
Level: 6
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a coin
minted by a kingdom that has fallen into ruin)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
In the vast tapestry of the cosmos, where the loom of
probability intertwines with the threads of chance, the
spell of the Gambler's Fate is born. This remarkable
spell is as beguiling as it is dangerous, drawing upon
the capricious energies of potentiality and coaxing
them into reality. The Gambler's Fate doesn't simply
tip the scales of luck—it seizes the scales, tosses
them into the air, and redefines the notion of
improbability itself.
When you cast Gambler's Fate, your every action
takes on a tinge of the extraordinary, the edges of
reality blurring as chance itself bends to your whims.
For the duration, whenever you make an ability
check, an attack roll, or a saving throw, you can call
upon the spell to influence the outcome. This can be
declared after you roll the dice, but before the
outcome is determined. You may then reroll the dice,
taking the new result if it is more favorable.
You can use this effect equal to your spellcasting
ability modifier (minimum of once). You regain
expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Moreover, for the duration of the spell, at the start of
each of your turns, you can alter the fate of another
creature you can see within 60 feet of you. You can
give advantage or disadvantage to the next ability
check, attack roll, or saving throw they make before
the start of your next turn.
However, be warned: The Gambler's Fate is a
Hexmaster
volatile mistress. Every time you reroll your dice or
meddle with another's fate, you must flip the coin
used as the material component. If it lands on heads,
the spell continues as normal. But if it lands on tails,
you feel the sting of Fate's retribution. You take 2d6
psychic damage, as your mind reels from the strain
of twisting the loom of possibility.
The Gambler's Fate can be cast at higher levels. For
each level above 6th, you can influence one
additional event per long rest. Still, each additional
use requires its own coin flip, increasing the risk
alongside the reward.
Casting:
To cast Gambler's Fate, you clutch the coin tightly in
your hand, and with your other, you trace an intricate
pattern in the air, murmuring the words of a long-
forgotten gambler's prayer. The incantation echoes
with the desperation and hope of countless souls
who staked everything on a single throw of the dice.
As you finish the incantation, you cast the coin high
into the air, where it momentarily shimmers with
ethereal light before it falls back into your palm,
unaltered yet irrevocably changed.
Flavor:
As you invoke the Gambler's Fate, your eyes glint
with a reckless light, a reflection of the cosmic dance
between chaos and order, risk and reward. A faint
hum permeates the air, as if reality itself is
resonating with the transgressive energies you've
just tapped into. The coin you hold shimmers with
arcane potential, pulsating with a rhythm that echoes
the beating heart of the universe, the tempo of
uncertainty. Every time fate is altered, there's a soft
ripple in the fabric of reality, a fleeting whisper that
sings the glory and terror of the Gambler's Fate.
Name: Jackpot
School of Magic: Arcane Divination
Level: 7
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (30-foot radius)
Target: Creatures within range
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a set of
magical dice worth at least 500 gold pieces)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Jackpot is a spell steeped in the mystic energies of
411
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
chance and fortune. When cast, the caster
unleashes a surge of magical energy that manifests
as a dazzling cascade of shimmering colors. The
spell activates a mysterious set of magical dice,
which start to roll and float in the air within a 30-foot
radius around the caster. These dice represent the
randomness and unpredictability of fate.
Upon casting Jackpot, all creatures within the area
must make a Wisdom saving throw or be drawn into
the magical game of chance. The spell itself
becomes unpredictable, and even the caster is not
entirely sure of the outcome. Each round for the
duration of the spell, the magical dice produce
different effects, both beneficial and hazardous.
The possible effects of Jackpot include:
Positive Effects:
1. Healing: Creatures within range regain hit points
equal to 1d8 + the caster's spellcasting ability
modifier.
2. Empowerment: Affected creatures gain advantage
on all attack rolls and saving throws.
3. Elation: Affected creatures become immune to
fear and charm effects.
4. Fortification: All affected creatures gain temporary
hit points equal to 1d10 + the caster's spellcasting
ability modifier.
Negative Effects:
5. Backfire: Affected creatures suffer 3d10 psychic
damage.
6. Misfortune: Affected creatures have disadvantage
on all attack rolls and saving throws.
7. Confusion: Affected creatures must succeed on a
Wisdom saving throw or be affected by the confusion
spell for 1 minute.
8. Exhaustion: All affected creatures gain one level of
exhaustion.
The specific effect is determined by rolling a d8 at
the end of each creature's turn while the spell is
active. This randomness adds an element of
unpredictability to the spell, making it both exciting
and dangerous.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When cast using a spell slot of 8th level or higher,
the positive effects of Jackpot increase in potency.
Healing and temporary hit points granted by the spell
increase to 2d8, and the duration of the beneficial
effects extends to 1 minute per spell level above 7th.
However, the negative effects become more
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
perilous, with damage and penalties increasing to
4d10, and the duration of harmful effects also
extending to 1 minute per spell level above 7th.
Casting:
To cast Jackpot, the spellcaster must channel their
magical energy and perform a series of intricate
hand gestures while chanting ancient words of fate
and chance. Additionally, as a material component,
the caster must offer up a set of magical dice worth
at least 500 gold pieces, which becomes imbued with
the spell's energies and is consumed during casting.
Flavor:
When Jackpot is cast, a burst of sparkling lights
explodes from the caster's hands, filling the area with
an enchanting aura of mystery. The floating magical
dice animate, dancing in the air, and their faces
seem to shift between symbols of fortune and
symbols of danger. The whole scene resembles a
grand casino suspended in time and space, and the
surrounding air is charged with the palpable tension
of uncertainty. As the dice roll and their outcome is
revealed, the air crackles with anticipation, and the
spell's effects play out, altering the destinies of all
those caught within its magical grasp.
Name: High Roller's Confidence
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: 8th level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (30-foot radius)
Target: You and up to 6 willing creatures within
range
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a set of
enchanted dice worth at least 500 gold pieces, which
are consumed upon casting)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
To cast High Roller's Confidence, the caster must
gather the party members around in a circle, each
person placing a hand on the central caster's
shoulder. The caster then raises the set of
enchanted dice high above their head and chants an
empowering incantation, invoking the favor of the
cosmic forces that govern chance and destiny.
Once the spell takes effect, all affected creatures are
enveloped in a shimmering aura that seems to dance
with the colors of fortune itself. During the spell's
412
Hexmaster
duration, they gain a +3 bonus to all attack rolls,
saving throws, and ability checks. Moreover, any
critical hits achieved by the affected creatures
become even more potent, dealing maximum
damage on the dice rolls.
However, casting such a powerful spell comes with
its limitations. The enchanted dice required for the
spell are unique and rare, and finding a new set may
involve a captivating adventure or even negotiating
with celestial beings. Additionally, the spell can only
be cast during special celestial events, like a rare
alignment of planets or a once-in-a-century meteor
shower, which must coincide with the character's
birthday.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When High Roller's Confidence is cast using a 9th-
level spell slot, the bonus to attack rolls, saving
throws, and ability checks increases to +4.
Furthermore, the spell's duration is extended to 10
minutes, providing the recipients with even more time
to seize victory in dire situations.
Flavor:
As the enchanting ritual unfolds, a dazzling array of
celestial symbols and constellations twirls in the air
around the spellcaster, momentarily blinding
onlookers with their radiant brilliance. The sound of
soft chimes and the distant rolling of dice resonate
through the area as if the very fabric of fate is being
woven together.
The aura surrounding the affected creatures pulses
with vivid colors, each hue representing a different
aspect of luck and prosperity. A shimmering blue
signifies tactical advantage, while a sparkling gold
represents good fortune in encounters. A vibrant
green hints at enhanced intuition, and a fiery red
embodies the strength of the cosmic forces backing
them up.
Despite the awe-inspiring spectacle, the true beauty
of High Roller's Confidence lies in the newfound self-
assurance and camaraderie it kindles among the
allies, solidifying their bonds and infusing them with
the determination to face any challenge head-on.
Name: Gambler's Triumph
School of Magic: Divination
Level: 9
Hexmaster
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: The caster
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a coin
made of orichalcum, imbued with the essence of a
luck dragon, worth at least 5000 gold pieces)
Duration: 1 round
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Gambler's Triumph is a spell steeped in legend, only
available to the rarest of arcane practitioners. To cast
it is to seize the reins of destiny, to momentarily
brush aside the veil of chaos and exert one's will
upon the fabric of reality.
Upon completion of the casting, the caster is able to
control the outcomes of all actions and events within
their vicinity for a brief, but intensely potent moment.
This primarily manifests in combat scenarios, where
the unpredictable tide of battle can be suddenly and
decisively turned. Yet its influence is not limited to
martial pursuits - any event or action that involves an
element of chance can be affected.
Within the duration of this single round, all d20 rolls
made by the caster and directed by them
automatically result in a natural 20 - a legendary
success. This includes attack rolls, saving throws,
ability checks, and spellcasting checks. However, it's
important to note that this spell doesn't manipulate
the perception or decision-making abilities of other
entities. The caster cannot dictate actions, but only
the outcomes of their own and those they directly
control.
Additionally, any preexisting conditions, spell effects,
or similar ongoing phenomena that rely on chance
are immediately skewed in the caster's favor. This
includes, but isn't limited to, saving throws against
ongoing spell effects, random environmental effects,
or any other similar random or chance-based event.
Casting Gambler's Triumph using a higher level spell
slot doesn't enhance its effects; such is the inherent
potency and risk of this unique spell.
Casting:
Casting Gambler's Triumph requires a mixture of
verbal and somatic components, along with the
413
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
crucial material component: a rare coin made of
orichalcum, imbued with the essence of a luck
dragon. This coin is not consumed by the spell but is
integral to its casting.
The verbal component takes the form of an ancient
gambler's rhyme, said to be a coded message from
the legendary Arcane Gambler to his proteges. This
chant speaks to the heart of chance, acknowledging
the fickle nature of luck and pledging to seize it.
The somatic component involves the caster flicking
the coin into the air. As the coin tumbles and spins,
the caster weaves complex patterns around it, their
fingers tracing the lines of fate as they place their bet
on the universe. It is said that the trajectory of the
coin somehow mirrors the desired outcome, although
the specifics of this phenomenon are a closely
guarded secret.
Flavor:
Gambler's Triumph is an ostentatious spectacle,
befitting its high-risk, high-reward nature. As the spell
is cast, the world seems to hold its breath. Time
slows as the coin spins in the air, its surface
shimmering with an otherworldly glow. The caster's
voice echoes through the air as they chant the
gambler's rhyme, a whisper of the cosmic bet being
placed.
As the coin lands in the caster's hand, a ripple of
energy spreads outwards. Colors become brighter,
sounds sharper, and for a fleeting moment, the world
seems to spin around the caster as if they are its
axis. And in that singular moment, the caster holds
the threads of chance tightly woven within their grip,
bending reality to the whims of their capricious
fortune.
In the aftermath of Gambler's Triumph, the world
quickly resumes its natural rhythm, as though the
universe, ever the consummate gambler, accepts its
temporary loss with a knowing wink and prepares for
the next roll of the dice.

1st: Jester's Tricks
Name: Illusory Diversions
Level: 1st
Description: The Jester possesses a knack for
creating convincing illusions that can divert attention
and manipulate perceptions, allowing them to
navigate tricky situations and deceive others with
finesse.
Mechanics: The Jester can create illusory
distractions within a range of 30 feet. As an action,
the Jester selects a point within range and conjures
an illusory object or creature that appears real and
occupies a 5-foot square. The illusion lasts for up to
1 minute or until the Jester dismisses it as a bonus
action.
The Jester can use this ability to create various
illusory diversions:
1. Mirage Manifestation: The Jester conjures a
shimmering, ethereal image of themselves or
another creature. The illusionary manifestation
mimics their appearance, voice, and mannerisms,
providing a convincing distraction. The illusion can
move and interact within the designated space but
cannot cause physical harm or manipulate objects.
The manifestation dissipates if it takes any damage.
2. Phantasmal Phantasm: The Jester conjures a
terrifying or mesmerizing apparition to confound and
confuse their enemies. The phantasm must fit within
418
Hexmaster
the 5-foot square and can be an intimidating beast, a
ghostly figure, or any other frightening form. The
phantasm appears real to anyone who sees it and
imposes disadvantage on attack rolls made against
the Jester and their allies within 10 feet of it.
3. Illusory Obstacle: The Jester creates a convincing
illusionary obstacle, such as a wall, a chasm, or a
treacherous pit. The illusory obstacle appears solid
and blocks sight and movement. Creatures who see
the illusion must make a Wisdom saving throw
against the Jester's spell save DC or become
convinced of its reality. The illusionary obstacle
persists until the end of the Jester's turn or until a
creature successfully interacts with it.
Once the Jester uses this feature, they must
complete a short or long rest before using it again.
Through clever utilization of these illusory diversions,
the Jester can distract guards, mislead enemies,
manipulate social interactions, create confusion in
puzzles, or enhance their performances by
incorporating convincing visual elements into their
acts. This versatile ability sets the stage for the
Jester's cunning and unpredictable nature, allowing
them to thrive in situations where their wits and
creativity shine brightest.
1st: Fool's Luck
Name: Fool's Luck
Level: 1st
Description: Fool's Luck is the inherent ability of the
Jester to bend fate to their advantage, turning the
tides of fortune in their favor. Through a combination
of quick thinking, charm, and sheer audacity, the
Jester has an uncanny knack for escaping
precarious situations and seizing unexpected
opportunities.
Mechanics: Once per long rest, when the Jester
fails an ability check, they can invoke Fool's Luck to
reroll the check with advantage. Additionally, when
the Jester rolls a natural 1 on an attack roll, saving
throw, or ability check, they can choose to treat it as
a natural 20 instead, signifying their ability to
transform failure into success in the most unlikely
circumstances.
This stroke of Fool's Luck is accompanied by a burst
of radiant energy that surrounds the Jester,
manifesting as swirling motes of colorful light. The
Jester's eyes briefly shimmer with an otherworldly
Hexmaster
gleam, and their contagious laughter fills the air,
spreading an infectious sense of cheer and mischief
to those nearby.
As the Jester progresses in level, their connection to
Fool's Luck grows stronger, allowing them to use this
ability more frequently. At 6th level, the Jester can
use Fool's Luck twice per long rest, and at 14th level,
they can use it three times per long rest.
Name: Mischievous Maneuvers
Level: 2nd level
Description: Mischievous Maneuvers enhances the
Jester's agility, allowing them to perform daring feats
of acrobatics and navigate challenging environments
with finesse and flair. They gain access to unique
movement abilities and tricks that aid them in non-
combat situations, making them exceptional at
traversing obstacles, eluding pursuers, and pulling
off daring escapes.
Mechanics:
1. Nimble Footwork: The Jester's base movement
speed increases by 10 feet, allowing them to swiftly
navigate their surroundings. Additionally, they gain
advantage on Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks made to
jump, climb, or maintain balance.
2. Elusive Acrobat: When making Dexterity
(Acrobatics) checks to traverse narrow ledges,
tightropes, or other precarious surfaces, the Jester
can choose to roll with advantage. Furthermore, they
gain proficiency in the Acrobatics skill if they don't
already have it.
3. Flair for the Dramatic: The Jester can use their
Performance skill to distract or entertain creatures
that are within 30 feet of them. The Jester can create
a captivating display of acrobatic skill, causing
enemies to become momentarily mesmerized.
Affected creatures must make a Wisdom saving
throw against a DC equal to 8 + the Jester's
Charisma modifier + their proficiency bonus. On a
failed save, they are distracted for 1 minute, granting
advantage to the Jester's allies on attack rolls
against them and disadvantage on their own attack
rolls. The affected creatures can repeat the saving
throw at the end of each of their turns, ending the
distraction on a success.
4. Evasive Steps: Once per short rest, as a bonus
action, the Jester can take the Disengage action,
even if they have already used their action that turn.
This allows them to quickly evade enemies and avoid
419
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
being targeted with opportunity attacks.
5. Deceptive Finesse: The Jester gains proficiency in
the Sleight of Hand skill if they don't already have it.
In addition, they can attempt to pickpocket a creature
during combat or social interactions by making a
Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check contested by the
target's Wisdom (Perception) check. If successful,
the Jester can discreetly steal a small item from the
target's person without them noticing immediately.
6. Acrobat's Grace: The Jester's natural agility and
balance grant them advantage on Dexterity saving
throws made to avoid falling prone or being knocked
prone. They also take half damage from falling, as
they deftly maneuver their body to lessen the impact.
Name: Jester's Charm
Level: 3rd
Description: As the Jester learns to perfect their
performance, they learn to manipulate the emotions
of others. The Jester's Charm, a potent mix of
charisma, wit, and theatricality, lets the Jester
beguile audiences and individuals, swaying their
emotions and reactions as easily as a puppeteer
controls their marionettes. This is a crucial tool in the
Jester's arsenal, useful in countless situations from
extracting information to turning potential enemies
into friends. This ability extends beyond mere
persuasion, tapping into an almost supernatural
talent to charm and influence.
With a twinkle in their eye, a strategically placed
pause, or an innocent, mischievous smile, the Jester
can inspire trust, provoke laughter, or stir up
emotions that serve their purpose. This skill is a
showstopper on stage and a secret weapon in the
court, the battlefield, or the back alleys. Whether
they're charming a hostile crowd, easing tensions in
a diplomatic negotiation, or convincing a surly guard
to look the other way, the Jester's Charm is a
powerful force indeed.
Mechanics: Upon reaching the 3rd level, you gain
the ability to charm humanoids you can see within 30
feet of you. If the target can see you, it must succeed
on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save
DC or be charmed by you until the end of your next
turn or until you or your allies harm it.
While charmed in this way, the target idolizes you, it
speaks glowingly of you to anyone who talks to it,
and it hinders anyone who opposes you, although it
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
avoids violence unless it was already inclined to fight
on your behalf. This effect ends immediately if you or
your allies do any harm to it.
In addition, you gain advantage on all Charisma
(Performance) and Charisma (Persuasion) checks
when interacting with a creature charmed by this
feature. This feature can be used a number of times
equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once),
and all expended uses are regained after a long rest.
This is a magical effect that can be detected as such,
and can be dispelled or countered by spells like
Dispel Magic or Counterspell. However, mundane
suspicion or hostility does not automatically dispel
the effect - after all, a good Jester knows how to
keep their audience engaged, even when the mood
turns sour.
Name: Mirthful Magic
Level: 4th
Description:
At this stage of their progression, a Jester's
performance starts to take a surreal turn. The world
is their stage and reality their canvas. As they
entertain, their audiences may witness extraordinary,
even impossible things, leaving them questioning
their own eyes, their minds tickled by the delightful
absurdity. This is Mirthful Magic, a testament to a
Jester's mastery of illusion, enchantment, and slight
of hand. This feature not only mesmerizes audiences
but also confounds opponents, turns the tide in social
situations, and makes light of puzzling
circumstances.
This ability is a reflection of the Jester's
understanding that laughter is a powerful, mystical
force that can manipulate reality, creating a bridge
between the mundane and the magical. When a
Jester invokes Mirthful Magic, onlookers may find
themselves in a world where colors are brighter,
sounds are sweeter, and the impossible seems
merely improbable.
Mechanics:
As an action, you can weave a spectacle of Mirthful
Magic, invoking bewitching illusions and sounds that
captivate any who witness it. The illusionary
performance can be tailored to a scenario of your
choice within a 60ft range. You may create illusions
that confound and misdirect, charm and entertain, or
solve problems in a creative way.
This performance lasts for up to 10 minutes,
420
Hexmaster
requiring concentration as if you were concentrating
on a spell. During this time, you gain advantage on
Charisma (Performance) and Charisma (Deception)
checks.
While using Mirthful Magic, any Wisdom (Perception)
or Intelligence (Investigation) check made to see
through your illusions has disadvantage due to the
captivating nature of your performance.
If you are using Mirthful Magic to influence a social
situation, those involved must make a Wisdom
saving throw against your spell save DC or be
charmed by you for the duration of the performance.
Furthermore, once per long rest, you can use your
Mirthful Magic to cast the spell "Major Image" without
expending a spell slot.
Name: Versatile Performer
Level: 5th
Description: Versatile Performer enhances the
Jester's ability to captivate and entertain, expanding
their repertoire of performance skills and unlocking
new avenues of interaction with the world. Through
their mastery of various artistic forms, the Jester
becomes a captivating presence, capable of
manipulating emotions, gaining favors, and solving
intricate puzzles.
Mechanics:
1. Masterful Mimicry: The Jester gains the ability to
perfectly mimic the voices and mannerisms of any
individual they have observed for at least 1 minute.
This mimicry grants advantage on Charisma
(Deception) checks when attempting to pass as the
mimicked individual, and advantage on Charisma
(Performance) checks when imitating their voice or
mannerisms. The Jester can maintain this mimicry
for a number of hours equal to their Charisma
modifier.
2. Inspiring Performance: As an action, the Jester
can deliver a captivating performance, channeling
their artistic talents to inspire their allies. All friendly
creatures within 30 feet of the Jester who can see
and hear them gain temporary hit points equal to 1d8
+ the Jester's Charisma modifier. These temporary
hit points last for 1 hour or until depleted.
3. Artistic Acumen: The Jester gains proficiency in
one additional skill from the following list: History,
Investigation, Insight, or Persuasion. Additionally,
they can double their proficiency bonus when making
ability checks using any tool they are proficient with,
as long as the check involves artistic expression or
creative problem-solving.
Hexmaster
4. Refined Presence: The Jester's stage presence
becomes even more captivating, granting them
advantage on Charisma (Performance) checks made
to entertain or impress an audience. Furthermore,
they gain expertise in the Deception skill, doubling
their proficiency bonus when making Deception
checks.
5. Dazzling Display: Once per long rest, the Jester
can unleash a mesmerizing performance that leaves
their audience spellbound. By spending 10 minutes
preparing and performing a grand spectacle, the
Jester can charm a group of creatures within a 60-
foot radius centered on themselves. The affected
creatures must make a Wisdom saving throw against
the Jester's spell save DC. On a failed save, they are
charmed by the Jester for 1 hour or until they take
damage. Charmed creatures regard the Jester as a
friendly acquaintance and will not willingly harm
them. The Jester can choose to exclude specific
individuals from this effect.
Name: Prankster's Resilience
Level: 6th
Description: The Jester's mischievous nature and
quick wit grant them a unique form of resilience
against adversity. Through their relentless humor
and cunning, they can endure challenges with a
lighthearted spirit and escape unscathed from
dangerous situations.
Mechanics: Whenever the Jester fails a saving
throw or is subjected to an effect that would cause
them to suffer a negative condition, they can use
their reaction to activate Prankster's Resilience. The
Jester instantly vanishes from their current location,
leaving behind a cloud of colorful smoke that
obscures their disappearance. They reappear up to
30 feet away in an unoccupied space of their choice,
unharmed and without any negative conditions that
would have been inflicted upon them. This ability can
be used a number of times equal to the Jester's
Charisma modifier (minimum of once), and all
expended uses are regained after a long rest.
Additionally, while under the effects of Prankster's
Resilience, the Jester gains advantage on saving
throws against spells and magical effects that would
attempt to forcibly move or teleport them against
their will. Their natural affinity for misdirection and
their playful nature make it difficult for adversaries to
control or manipulate their movements.

ease.
Mechanics:
- Alter Self: You gain the ability to cast the Alter Self
spell at will, without expending a spell slot. As an
action, you can magically alter your appearance,
changing your height, weight, facial features, voice,
and other physical characteristics. You can make

and even mimic specific individuals. The
transformation lasts for up to 1 hour, and you can
dismiss it at any time. While disguised, you gain a
+10 bonus to Deception checks made to pass as the

Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

double your proficiency bonus when using them.

- Unmasking Insight: Your acute observational skills
enable you to see through the most cunning
disguises. As an action, you can make a Wisdom
(Perception) check contested by a creature's
Charisma (Deception) check. If you succeed, you
see through any magical or mundane disguise the
creature is using, and you can discern its true form.
You have advantage on this check if you have seen
the creature's true form before or if you are familiar
with their natural appearance.
- Master of Deception: You have honed your
deception skills to the highest level. You have
advantage on all Charisma (Deception) checks made
to create or maintain a disguise, deceive others, or
pass as someone else. Additionally, creatures have
disadvantage on Wisdom (Insight) checks made to
see through your disguises or detect your lies.
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
- Chameleon's Guise: You can effortlessly blend into
any environment, becoming one with your
surroundings. When you remain still and take no

checks to hide. Additionally, creatures have
disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks made
to spot you if they are actively searching for hidden
creatures.
- Enhanced Disguise: Your mastery of disguise
extends beyond physical appearances. When you
assume a disguise using Alter Self or a physical
disguise kit, you gain a +5 bonus to Charisma
(Deception) checks made to impersonate the
character or creature you are disguising as. Your
mimicry is so convincing that it fools not only sight
but also other senses, such as hearing and touch,
making it even more challenging for others to see
through your ruse.
Name: Serendipitous Escape
Level: 8th
Description: Serendipitous Escape represents the
Jester's knack for turning dire situations into
unexpected opportunities for escape and evasion.
With their quick thinking and uncanny luck, they are
able to find unconventional paths to safety and leave
their pursuers bewildered.
Mechanics: Once per short rest, when the Jester
finds themselves in a dangerous or trapped situation,
they can activate Serendipitous Escape. This ability
allows them to instantly create a diversion or exploit
a stroke of luck that aids in their escape. The
mechanics of Serendipitous Escape are as follows:
1. Diversionary Tactics: The Jester can create a
distracting spectacle or chaos in their immediate
vicinity, drawing the attention of enemies and
causing confusion. They roll a performance check
contested by the passive perception of all hostile
creatures within 60 feet. On a success, the enemies
become temporarily disoriented, granting the Jester
advantage on their next Dexterity (Stealth) check or
any skill check related to escaping the situation. The
duration of the distraction is 1 minute.
2. Lucky Break: Alternatively, the Jester can rely on
their Fool's Luck to trigger a fortuitous event that aids
their escape. They roll a d20 and add their Charisma
modifier. If the total is equal to or greater than the DC
422
Hexmaster
set by the Hex Master, a serendipitous event occurs.
This can range from a conveniently placed secret
door, an unexpected ally appearing, or an
environmental hazard that hinders pursuers. The
exact nature of the lucky break is up to the Hex
Master's discretion.

diversion or benefiting from a lucky break, the Jester
gains increased movement speed for their turn. Their
movement speed is doubled, and they have
advantage on Acrobatics or Athletics checks made to

Name: Mischievous Mind
Level: 9th
Description: Ah, the Mischievous Mind! It's the
secret recipe that transforms an ordinary trickster
into a true Jester. As the Jester advances in
experience and wisdom, their mind becomes an
elaborate maze, teeming with playful thoughts and
cunning ideas that are as chaotic and unpredictable
as a whirlwind. This is the essence of the
Mischievous Mind - an ability that reflects the Jester's
knack for creativity, spontaneity, and, above all,
mischief.
The Mischievous Mind amplifies the Jester's aptitude
for puzzles, riddles, and conundrums of all sorts,
making them a master of solving the unsolvable. It's
like having a personal funhouse of reflections and
illusions inside your mind, where the answer to every
puzzle is hidden in plain sight, obscured only by a
cascade of laughter and a tumble of jingling bells.
Mechanics: This feature allows the Jester to add
twice their proficiency bonus on any Intelligence
(Investigation), Wisdom (Insight), or Charisma
(Persuasion or Deception) checks related to solving
puzzles, riddles, or manipulating social situations. In
addition, they can use this feature to cast the 'Detect
Thoughts' spell once per short or long rest without
expending a spell slot. When they do, the spell has
some unusual effects, flavored by their jesterly
tendencies.
When the Jester delves deeper into a creature's
thoughts using this version of 'Detect Thoughts,' they
don't just sense the creature's reasoning, emotions,
or something it loathes or loves. They also uncover
Hexmaster
an echo of a riddle, joke, or trick the creature's mind
subconsciously conceals, which might be a secret,
an undisclosed intention, or an unexpected way to
influence them.
An astute Jester knows how to use this information
to make their adventures more entertaining,
manipulate their companions and opponents alike, or
find unconventional solutions to perplexing problems.
With a Mischievous Mind, the Jester turns their life
into a never-ending carnival where every mystery is
an amusing game, every social interaction is a
performance, and every challenge is a chance to
unveil the humor hidden in the fabric of the universe.

audiences, and leaving a lasting impression
wherever they go. Whether it's a royal gala, a
mystical ritual, or a whimsical festival, the Jester
takes center stage, infusing their unique blend of
entertainment, charm, and trickery into the
proceedings.
Mechanics:
- Performance Aura: Whenever the Jester is
engaged in a grand ceremony or event, they exude
an enchanting aura with a radius of 30 feet. This
aura enhances the overall ambiance and captivates
the attention of the attendees, imbuing them with a
sense of awe and wonder. Creatures within this aura
gain advantage on Charisma (Performance) checks
and saving throws against being frightened or
charmed.
- Grand Entrance: The Jester can make a dramatic
entrance that leaves a lasting impression on those
present. As an action when first ariving, the Jester
can perform an awe-inspiring display. All creatures
within 60 feet who can see and hear the Jester must
make a Wisdom saving throw against the Jester's
spell save DC or become stunned for 1 minute, as
they are overcome with the Jester's sheer presence
and showmanship. Creatures can repeat the saving
throw at the end of each of their turns, ending the
effect on a success.
- Festive Flourish: The Jester can add an extra touch
423
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
of whimsy and delight to any festive gathering. Once
per short rest, as an action, the Jester can cast the
"Prestidigitation" cantrip without expending a spell
slot. Additionally, the Jester can create minor illusory
effects within a 60-foot radius, such as showers of
confetti, floating lights, or ethereal music, to further
enhance the atmosphere of the event.
- Banquet of Mirth: The Jester has honed their
culinary skills, and their ability to create gastronomic
delights is renowned. Once per long rest, the Jester
can prepare a magnificent banquet that lasts for 8
hours. The banquet includes a variety of delicious
and exotic dishes, tailored to the preferences of the
guests. Consuming a meal from this banquet grants
each creature who partakes advantage on
Constitution saving throws and Charisma checks for
the next 24 hours. Additionally, any creature that
consumes the banquet gains temporary hit points
equal to their level + the Jester's Charisma modifier.
- Enigmatic Enigma: The Jester's enigmatic nature
grows even more pronounced. Whenever the Jester
engages in a conversation or interaction during an
event, they can effortlessly adapt their demeanor,
speech patterns, and body language to match the
expectations and cultural nuances of the participants.
This allows the Jester to gain advantage on all
Charisma-based ability checks made during the
event, including Persuasion, Deception, and
Performance checks.
Name: Fool's Fortune
Level: 11th
Description: Fool's Fortune bestows upon the Jester
an uncanny ability to influence the tides of fortune
and turn unlikely situations to their advantage.
Through a blend of charm, wit, and sheer luck, the
Jester becomes a master manipulator of fate,
ensuring favorable outcomes and unexpected twists
in their favor.
Mechanics:
Lucky Flourish: Once per short or long rest, when
you roll a d20 for an ability check, attack roll, or
saving throw, you can choose to treat the roll as a
20. This fortunate stroke of luck allows you to
accomplish feats that would otherwise be deemed
impossible, leaving others in awe of your natural
talent and undeniable presence.
Serendipitous Guidance: As an action, you can
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
provide guidance and inspiration to a creature within
30 feet of you. This guidance manifests as a magical
aura that surrounds the target, subtly influencing
their actions and decisions. The target gains
advantage on their next ability check, attack roll, or
saving throw. This effect lasts for 1 minute or until
the target makes a roll, whichever comes first.
Twist of Fate: Once per long rest, you can
manipulate the threads of destiny itself to bend
reality to your will. Choose one failed saving throw
made by a creature within 60 feet of you. The target
can reroll the saving throw with advantage, and they
must take the new result. This sudden reversal of
fortune can turn the tide of a dire situation and
provide a second chance for your allies to overcome
imminent failure.
Fortune's Favor: Your serendipitous nature extends
beyond yourself, affecting those around you. When a
creature within 30 feet of you rolls a natural 1 on a
d20 roll for an ability check, attack roll, or saving
throw, you can use your reaction to grant them a
stroke of fortune. The creature can reroll the d20 and
must use the new roll. This unexpected stroke of luck
often leads to miraculous escapes, astonishing
successes, and unforgettable tales of improbable
victory.
Ripple Effect: The mere presence of your fortuitous
aura creates a subtle shift in the fabric of reality.
Once per short or long rest, you can cast the spell
"Bend Luck" as a bonus action without expending a
spell slot. This allows you to manipulate the outcome
of a creature's roll within 60 feet of you by adding or
subtracting 1d4 from their roll. This ability can be
used after the creature rolls but before the DM
determines the outcome. The arcane energy infused
into the roll twists fate in your favor, allowing you to
alter the course of events to your liking.

in an aura of chaotic energy. During this time, they
gain the following benefits:
1. Misdirection Mastery: Whenever the Jester is the
target of an attack, they can use their reaction to
impose disadvantage on the attack roll. Additionally,
if the attack misses, the attacker suffers a penalty to
their next attack roll equal to the Jester's Charisma
modifier (minimum penalty of -1). This penalty lasts
until the end of the attacker's next turn.
2. Confounding Presence: The Jester's presence
becomes disorienting and perplexing to those around
them. Any enemy within 10 feet of the Jester at the
start of their turn must make a Wisdom saving throw
against the Jester's spell save DC or suffer
disadvantage on their next attack roll or ability check
before the end of their turn.
3. Evasive Performance: The Jester gains advantage
on Dexterity saving throws and their movement
speed is increased by 10 feet. Additionally, they can
move through the space of any creature that is at
least two sizes larger or smaller than them without
requiring an ability check. This movement does not
provoke opportunity attacks.
4. Unpredictable Maneuvers: The Jester gains two
charges of "Trickster's Escape." As a bonus action,
they can expend one charge to take the Dash or
Disengage action. Once all charges are expended,
the Jester regains them after finishing a short or long
rest.
The Jester's Topsy-Turvy Tactics turns their
surroundings into a playground of chaos and
confusion. They effortlessly navigate through
dangerous terrain, disorient enemies, and weave a
tapestry of unpredictability. This ability allows the
Jester to excel in situations that require quick
thinking, adaptability, and a touch of whimsicality.

enemies and amuse your allies. You can use this
feature to alter the environment, the creatures, or the
events around you in a way that suits your fancy.
Hexmaster

of this feature to twist reality within a 30-foot radius of
you. You can choose one of the following effects, or
create your own effect with the DM's approval:
- You can change the appearance, sound, smell, or
texture of any object or creature within the area. The
change lasts for 1 minute, or until you use this
feature again. The change does not affect the object
or creature's statistics or abilities, and it can be
perceived as an illusion with a successful Intelligence
(Investigation) check against your spell save DC.
- You can create a harmless sensory effect within the
area, such as a burst of confetti, a loud noise, a flash
of light, or a gust of wind. The effect lasts for 1
minute, or until you use this feature again. The effect
does not deal damage or have any other mechanical
effect, but it can distract, startle, or entertain
creatures within the area.
- You can alter the gravity within the area, making it
stronger or weaker than normal. The gravity change
lasts for 1 minute, or until you use this feature again.
Creatures and objects within the area are affected by
the gravity change as follows:
- If you make the gravity stronger, creatures and
objects within the area have their speed halved, and
they have disadvantage on Strength and Dexterity
checks and saving throws. Additionally, any creature
that jumps or falls within the area takes 1d6
bludgeoning damage for every 10 feet it moves.
- If you make the gravity weaker, creatures and
objects within the area have their speed doubled,
and they have advantage on Strength and Dexterity

that jumps or falls within the area moves 10 feet
farther than normal.
- You can warp time within the area, making it faster
or slower than normal. The time warp lasts for 1
minute, or until you use this feature again. Creatures
and objects within the area are affected by the time
warp as follows:
- If you make time faster, creatures and objects
within the area act twice as often as normal. They
can take two actions and two bonus actions on each
of their turns, and they can move twice their speed.
However, they also age twice as fast as normal while
within the area.
- If you make time slower, creatures and objects
within the area act half as often as normal. They can
only take one action or one bonus action on each of
425
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
their turns, and they can move half their speed.
However, they also age half as fast as normal while
within the area.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to
your Charisma modifier (minimum of once). You
regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Name: Unpredictable Performance
Level: 14th
Description: Unpredictable Performance represents
the Jester's ability to captivate and manipulate their
audience with a spontaneous and whimsical display
of entertainment. This feature allows the Jester to
unleash a dazzling show that enchants and
confounds those who witness it, creating
unpredictable and surprising effects.
Mechanics: Once per long rest, the Jester can
spend 10 minutes preparing for their Unpredictable
Performance. During this time, they carefully plan
and rehearse a sequence of acts, incorporating
elements of misdirection, illusion, and musical
enchantment. Once the preparation is complete, the
Jester can unleash their performance within a range
of 60 feet, affecting all creatures within that area.
The Unpredictable Performance lasts for 1 hour and
has the following effects:
1. Enthralling Illusions: The Jester creates a
kaleidoscope of mesmerizing illusions that dance
and shift throughout the area. Each creature that
enters the area or starts its turn there must make a
Wisdom saving throw against the Jester's spell save
DC. On a failed save, the creature becomes
charmed for the duration of the performance or until
it takes damage. Charmed creatures are
incapacitated and perceive the illusions as vivid and
irresistible, unable to take any actions other than to
watch the performance. The Jester can choose to
exempt certain creatures from this effect, allowing
them to remain unaffected by the illusions.
2. Mischievous Manipulation: The Jester's
performance subtly alters the fabric of reality,
causing unpredictable effects to occur. At the start of
each of their turns, the Jester can roll a d20 to
determine the nature of the manipulation. The effects
include:
- 1-5: Shifting Shadows - Dim light and darkness
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
become fluid and unpredictable, creating advantage
on Dexterity (Stealth) checks for the Jester and their

surfaces within the area become animated and
distorted, creating illusions that confuse and distract.
Attacks made against creatures within the area have
a 25% chance to miss, and those creatures have
disadvantage on saving throws against spells and
magical effects.
- 11-15: Unruly Acoustics - Sounds become warped
and distorted, making it difficult for creatures to
communicate effectively. Creatures within the area
have disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks
that rely on hearing and disadvantage on Charisma
(Persuasion) checks for verbal interactions outside of
combat.
- 16-20: Quixotic Conjuring - Minor magical effects
randomly occur, creating an atmosphere of
unpredictability. The Jester and their allies within the
area gain advantage on saving throws against spells
and magical effects. Additionally, once during the
performance, the Jester can use their reaction to
cast a spell of 3rd level or lower without expending a
spell slot.
It's important to note that the effects of the
Unpredictable Performance are purely temporary
and do not cause any permanent changes to the
world. However, they can significantly impact the
dynamics of social interactions, puzzle-solving, and
non-combat encounters, allowing the Jester to
navigate through challenges with flair and whimsy.
The spectacle and bewilderment created by the
Unpredictable Performance often leave a lasting
impression on those who experience it, establishing
the Jester as a master of illusion and entertainment.

discern illusions from reality for the duration of the
aura.

nature to the Jester at this level. They become the
embodiment of deception and illusion, capable of
creating mind-bending illusions and bewildering
distractions that confound even the most astute
observers. The Jester's mastery of misdirection
allows them to manipulate reality itself, leaving
everyone questioning what is real and what is merely
an illusion.
Hexmaster
Mechanics:
Illusory Deception: As an action, you can create an
illusory duplicate of yourself that appears within 30
feet of you. The duplicate mimics your appearance
and movements perfectly and persists for up to 1
minute or until it takes damage. While the duplicate
is active, you can use your bonus action to switch
places with it, causing you to teleport to its location
and vice versa. This ability can be used once per
short or long rest.
Veil of Shadows: As an action, you can summon a
dense shroud of shadows that obscures the area
within a 30-foot radius centered on yourself. The
area becomes heavily obscured, granting you
advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks and making
it difficult for enemies to target you. The veil lasts for
1 minute or until you dismiss it as a bonus action.
Once you use this feature, you must complete a long
rest before you can use it again.
Illusory Mirage: When you are hit by an attack, you
can use your reaction to cast the spell "Mirror Image"
without expending a spell slot. The illusory duplicates
created by this spell provide additional targets for the
attack, increasing your chances of avoiding harm.
You regain the ability to use this feature after
completing a short or long rest.
Reality's Illusion: You gain the ability to cast the spell
"Programmed Illusion" once without expending a
spell slot. This illusion can be programmed to trigger
based on specific conditions, such as when a
creature enters a designated area or speaks a
particular phrase. The illusion can last up to 24 hours
or until the trigger condition is met, at which point it
plays out in a spectacular display of misdirection and
confusion. You regain the ability to cast
"Programmed Illusion" in this way after completing a
long rest.
Name: Prankster's Grandeur
Level: 17th
Description: Prankster's Grandeur is the pinnacle of
the Jester's art, representing their unrivaled mastery
of mischief and their ability to bend reality to their
will. At this level, the Jester becomes a true trickster
extraordinaire, capable of performing breathtaking
feats of illusion, manipulation, and misdirection that
leave both friends and foes in awe.
Mechanics: Once per long rest, the Jester can
unleash their Prankster's Grandeur feature to create
an elaborate and captivating illusion that spans a
vast area. The illusion can cover an area up to a
427
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
100-foot radius, centered on the Jester. The Jester
can shape the illusion to mimic any environment or
scenario of their choosing, limited only by their
imagination.
The illusion created by Prankster's Grandeur is
incredibly detailed and convincing, fooling all who
witness it. It engages all five senses, providing a fully
immersive experience. The Jester can create
illusions of grand cities, lush landscapes, mythical
creatures, or even entire alternate realities, complete
with interactive elements and moving parts.
The Prankster's Grandeur illusion lasts for up to 1
hour, during which the Jester can manipulate and
alter its components at will. They can create illusions
of NPCs, objects, and even non-hostile creatures
within the illusionary environment. These illusory
entities can interact with the Jester and other
creatures, carrying out conversations, providing
information, or even assisting in tasks.
The Jester has complete control over the illusion,
allowing them to change its appearance, alter the
behavior of illusory entities, and modify the
environment itself. They can create hidden
passages, secret rooms, and intricate puzzles within
the illusion, making it a perfect tool for exploration
and problem-solving. The Jester's command over the
illusion is so precise that they can make it respond to
the actions of specific individuals, creating
customized experiences tailored to each observer.
While the illusion of Prankster's Grandeur is awe-
inspiring and captivating, it cannot directly harm or
cause physical damage to creatures. However, it can
induce powerful emotional responses, evoke fear or
joy, and influence the behavior and perceptions of
those within its bounds. The Jester can use their
illusions to manipulate social situations, distract
enemies, create diversions, or forge alliances
through cunning deception.
Once the duration of the Prankster's Grandeur
illusion ends, it fades away, leaving no trace behind.
Any objects or creatures created within the illusion
dissolve into shimmering mist, returning to their
illusory nature. However, the impact of the illusion on
the memories and perceptions of those who
witnessed it can linger, shaping their future actions
and beliefs.
Prankster's Grandeur is the ultimate embodiment of
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
the Jester's mastery over illusion and misdirection,
showcasing their ability to create breathtaking
spectacles, forge deep connections, and leave an
indelible mark on the world around them. It is an

saving throw against the Jester's spell save DC or
become charmed for the duration of the
Hexmaster
performance. Charmed creatures are incapacitated

hostile actions. While charmed, creatures have
disadvantage on Wisdom and Intelligence saving
throws made to perceive illusions or break free from
enchantments. Additionally, any creatures charmed
by the Trickster's Rhapsody have disadvantage on
saving throws against the Jester's spells.

material plane, manifesting as a spectral jester that
travels between settlements, sharing their wisdom,
humor, and tricks with those who are willing to listen.
The spectral jester becomes an NPC with the
Jester's statistics and personality, assisting and

this apex of their expertise can make reality itself
their stage. Jester's Mastery is the culmination of a
lifetime spent dedicated to the art of performance,
trickery, and enchantment. This class feature
represents the Jester's ability to use their charisma
and wit to manipulate their environment, charm even
the most skeptical audiences, and navigate through

a trickster's delight.
Mechanics:
Reality's Stage: Once per long rest, the Jester can
spend 10 minutes to conjure an illusory stage that
can span a 30-foot radius. This stage can take any
form the Jester wishes, be it a grand court, a cozy
tavern, or a mysterious cave, as long as it remains
within the radius. All creatures within the stage that
the Jester can see must make a Wisdom saving
throw against the Jester's spell save DC or be
charmed for 1 hour. While charmed in this way, they
see the stage as the Jester wishes and are more
susceptible to the Jester's persuasions, granting the
Jester advantage on all Charisma-based skill checks
against them.
Puzzle Master: With a knack for solving puzzles, the
Jester can now apply this talent to magical and
reality-bending challenges. Once per short or long

as calming violent weather within a 1-mile radius,
causing wild vegetation to flourish in a 60-foot radius,
or even altering the mood of a crowd or community,
making them more receptive or hostile to a cause the
Jester supports.
The Fool's Escape: Once per day, when the Jester
would be hit by an attack, they can use their reaction

unoccupied space they can see, leaving behind an
illusory duplicate in their place. This invisibility lasts
until the start of the Jester's next turn or until they
attack or cast a spell.

Name: Dazzling Sparkles
School of Magic: Evocation
Level: 0
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Dexterity saving throw
Spell Resistance: No
Description: Dazzling Sparkles is a charming
cantrip that allows a spellcaster to conjure a
captivating burst of shimmering sparks. When cast,
the spellcaster utters a brief incantation while
performing a mesmerizing gesture with their hand,
conjuring an ephemeral field of radiant motes. These
motes resemble an awe-inspiring celestial light show
and exude a harmless, magical luminescence.
The spellcaster targets a single creature within a 30-
foot range. The targeted creature must make a
Dexterity saving throw to avoid the dazzling effects of
the sparkles. On a failed save, the creature is
momentarily blinded by the scintillating display,
making it difficult for them to accurately strike their
opponent. The creature suffers from a temporary
disadvantage on their next attack roll due to the
distracting nature of the sparkles obstructing their
vision.
Casting: To perform Dazzling Sparkles, the
spellcaster must tap into their connection with the
cosmic energies of the universe. They must
enunciate the spell's verbal component, speaking the
words "Lumos Prismae" with clarity and confidence,
channeling their intent into the radiant magic they
seek to create. The somatic component involves an
intricate, graceful movement with their hand,
resembling the drawing of a starry symbol in the air.
While the spell does not require any material
components, casting it under a night sky or in the
presence of stars enhances its potency, making the
sparkles more dazzling and harder to resist.
Flavor: When Dazzling Sparkles is cast, the air
430
Hexmaster
hums with a subtle, harmonious resonance, almost
like a cosmic lullaby. A faint yet mesmerizing glow
emanates from the spellcaster's eyes and fingertips
as they weave the magic together. Upon release, the
motes of light soar gracefully through the air,
resembling tiny comets with dazzling tails of stardust.
As the sparkles surround the target, they create a
miniature, enchanting galaxy that twinkles with all the
colors of the spectrum.
The sound of the spell is akin to a soft, ethereal
chorus of chimes, gentle and harmonious,
captivating those who witness its celestial spectacle.
The smell of distant flowers and exotic spices seems
to permeate the air around the sparkling display,
transporting the caster and onlookers to a place of
wonder and beauty. Even after the spell's effects
have subsided, a faint afterglow of stardust lingers in
the vicinity, serving as a reminder of the cosmic
power harnessed during its casting.
Name: Witty Retort
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: 0
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Witty Retort is a unique and mischievous cantrip
from the school of Enchantment, where the wielder
weaves the fabric of language and wit to deliver a
clever and cutting remark that deals a minor psychic
blow to the target's ego. When casting this spell, the
spellcaster must focus their thoughts on a witty and
humorous retort that fits the situation and the target's
personality, as the effectiveness of the spell relies on
the wit and charm of the caster.
Upon completion of the verbal and somatic
components, a shimmering thread of iridescent
words materializes, laced with ethereal glittering
sparks of the caster's charisma. The words shoot
forth like a dancing ribbon, carrying the essence of
the witty remark directly to the mind of the targeted
creature.
The targeted creature must make a Wisdom saving
Hexmaster
throw to resist the charm of the retort. If the saving
throw fails, the psychic damage inflicted by the
remark is 1d4 + the caster's Charisma modifier. If the
saving throw succeeds, the target remains
unaffected, and the witty retort harmlessly bounces
off their mind.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When casting Witty Retort using a spell slot of 1st
level or higher, the psychic damage increases by 1d4
for each slot level above 0.
Casting:
Casting Witty Retort requires a quick wit and silver
tongue. The caster must think of a clever and
humorous remark that suits the target's personality
and the situation at hand. With a flourish of gestures
and a charming smile, the caster delivers the retort
with impeccable timing, causing the magical words to
take shape and manifest in the air.
Flavor:
The spell's appearance is a spectacle to behold. As
the caster begins to deliver the witty retort, their eyes
gleam with an iridescent twinkle, and a faint aura of
charisma envelops them. The words of the retort
form visible, ethereal ribbons that dance and twirl
around the caster's hand like a lively and colorful
display. When released, these radiant ribbons streak
towards the target with a faint, melodious hum.
As the words reach the target's ears, they seem to
shimmer and shift into playful shapes, intertwining
with the creature's thoughts. A momentary daze may
come over the target as the magic takes hold, and
they might momentarily lose their composure,
looking flustered or confused. Spectators often find
themselves chuckling or grinning at the witty remark,
even if it wasn't directed at them, due to the
infectious charm of the spell.
As an added touch, the color of the iridescent words
and the sparks of charisma align with the caster's
own personality and emotions at the moment of
casting, making each Witty Retort a unique and
unforgettable experience for all who witness it.
Name: Mischievous Whispers
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: 0
Casting Time: 1 action
431
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
Range: 30 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Mischievous Whispers is a devious spell that taps
into the subtle art of enchantment magic, allowing
the caster to manipulate the thoughts of a single
target within range. With a sly smile and a hushed
incantation, the caster sends forth insidious whispers
that weave their way into the target's mind. These
whispers plant seeds of doubt and suspicion,
causing the affected creature to question the motives
and loyalty of their allies.
Upon successfully casting Mischievous Whispers,
the target must make a Wisdom saving throw to
resist the spell's effects. If they fail the save, the
whispers take root in their consciousness, creating a
cloud of distrust that persists as long as the caster
maintains concentration.
While under the influence of the spell, the targeted
creature might become wary of their companions,
perceiving innocent actions as sinister motives. A
friendly pat on the back might be mistaken for a
pickpocketing attempt, and a reassuring word could
sound like veiled threats. These distorted
perceptions can quickly lead to tension and conflict
within a once-harmonious group.
It's essential to note that Mischievous Whispers
cannot force the affected creature to take any
specific actions, and the manipulated thoughts do not
alter the target's core beliefs or values. Instead, the
spell subtly influences their interpretations of others'
intentions.
Casting Mischievous Whispers at a higher level
enhances its potency and range. When cast as a 1st-
level spell, the range increases to 60 feet, and the
duration extends to 10 minutes. For each additional
spell level, the range increases by 30 feet, and the
duration increases by 10 minutes.
Casting:
To cast Mischievous Whispers, the caster must
speak softly and weave the incantation with a
mischievous glint in their eye. As they utter the
words, they make intricate gestures with their hands,
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
cupping their palms towards the target, symbolizing
the planting of the insidious seeds. The caster must
also maintain eye contact with the target throughout
the casting process.
Flavor:
When Mischievous Whispers is cast, a faint, ethereal
mist filled with shimmering, colorful whispers
emanates from the caster's fingertips. The mist drifts
gracefully through the air, seeking out the target's
ears and gradually seeping into their mind. The
whispers themselves sound like a mix of playful
laughter, sly murmurs, and soft echoes. To anyone
observing the spell's effect, it appears as though an
invisible force is at work, influencing the target's
thoughts and perceptions from within.
Name: Illusory Companion
School of Magic: Illusion
Level: 0
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Illusory Companion is a spell mastered by those who
have delved deep into the arcane arts of illusions.
When cast, the caster weaves intricate gestures and
utters ancient incantations that tap into the ethereal
realm. From this unseen realm, a small and
mischievous illusionary creature, the Illusory
Companion, is brought forth to assist the caster and
their allies in times of need.
Once summoned, the Illusory Companion takes the
form of a whimsical, sprite-like creature with
shimmering wings and luminous markings. It appears
semi-transparent, as if it exists between the realms
of reality and dreams. The Illusory Companion is
friendly to the caster and their allies, obeying their
mental commands with a telepathic connection
established during its manifestation.
This illusionary creature can interact with the
environment in limited ways. It can create small
sounds, move objects of negligible weight, and cast
faint shadows. Its primary purpose is to cause
432
Hexmaster
distractions and confound enemies. By fluttering
around foes or creating minor illusory manifestations,
it effectively grants advantage on the next attack
made against a target by an ally within 30 feet of it.
The Illusory Companion is intelligent enough to
understand basic instructions and maintain the
concentration needed to provide the advantage.
However, it lacks the power to deal direct damage or
inflict conditions on its own. If attacked, it dissolves
into a wisp of shimmering light, reappearing in the
ethereal realm until summoned again.
Casting:
To cast Illusory Companion, the caster must stand
with arms outstretched, making intricate swirling
motions with their hands while softly chanting a
magical verse. The caster's mind must be clear and
focused on the connection with the ethereal realm to
successfully summon and control the Illusory
Companion.
Flavor:
As the caster completes the spell's somatic
components, a soft, enchanting melody fills the air,
harmonizing with the incantations. A burst of
iridescent dust and tiny motes of light emanates from
the caster's hands, swirling and coalescing into the
form of the Illusory Companion. The creature's
laughter, akin to the tinkling of wind chimes, rings
through the area, and its presence exudes an aura of
wonder and whimsy.
Enhanced Effects:
When cast using a spell slot of higher levels, the
Illusory Companion's capabilities are enhanced. The
illusion becomes more lifelike and potent, allowing it
to create more intricate distractions and even
temporarily mimic the sounds of spells or creatures,
making it more challenging for enemies to discern
the real from the illusory. Additionally, the range of its
beneficial effects extends by 10 feet for each spell
slot level above the 0 level. However, the Illusory
Companion's increased potency requires more
concentration and mental focus from the caster.
Name: Enthralling Tune
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: 0
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Target: One creature
Hexmaster
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Enthralling Tune is a spell born from the mystical
harmony of science and fantasy, allowing a bard or
mage to channel the essence of music to weave an
enchanting melody. When this spell is cast, the
caster gracefully draws forth an ornate instrument or
employs their mellifluous voice to generate a
sonorous resonance that radiates across the chosen
target.
As the notes of the melody spiral through the air,
they transform into iridescent threads, ethereal and
mesmerizing, that dance around the target's senses.
The music weaves a delicate tapestry of
enchantment, seeking to bewitch the mind and heart
of the recipient. This spell taps into the deep-rooted
connection between music and emotions, exploiting
the potent sway that melodies hold over sentient
beings.
Upon hearing the Enthralling Tune, the target is
affected by an overwhelming compulsion to reveal
the truth or perform an action they would not
ordinarily undertake. They find themselves
momentarily ensnared in the entrancing web of
sound, their mental defenses tested against the
charm.
The success of this spell largely depends on the
target's mental fortitude, represented by a Wisdom
saving throw. Those with a resilient will may resist
the spell's allure and shake off the enchantment,
while others, swayed by the melody's captivating
allure, will succumb to its effects.
However, like all spells, Enthralling Tune has its
limitations. The spell can only affect a single target at
a time, and the caster must maintain concentration to
sustain its power. The enchanted melody lasts for up
to one minute, during which the target remains
ensnared by the song's magic.
Enhanced Effects:
As a spellcaster grows in power and proficiency, they
can harness stronger enchantments through the use
of higher-level spell slots. When casting Enthralling
Tune using a higher level spell slot, the potency of
the melody intensifies. The threads of music become
433
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
more intricate and persuasive, making it harder for
targets to resist the enchantment. Additionally, the
duration of the effect extends, allowing the melody to
hold its captivated grip on the target for a longer
period.
Casting:
To cast Enthralling Tune, the spellcaster must stand
in a position from which their melodic creation can
reach the target. The casting requires a captivating
incantation, woven with the intention of bewitchment.
As the words flow forth with utmost precision and
emotion, the spellcaster must also perform a series
of intricate hand movements, like a conductor
guiding an orchestra.
Flavor:
The Enthralling Tune materializes as a shimmering
cascade of vibrant, luminescent hues, swirling
around the target like a cocoon of iridescent
butterflies. Each note in the melody is represented by
a specific color, and as they harmonize, they create
an enchanting spectacle of light and sound. The tune
reverberates through the air, carrying an otherworldly
resonance that resonates with the innermost
emotions of those who hear it.
The spellcaster's instrument, whether it be a harp,
flute, or their own voice, emits a radiant glow,
emanating the magic suffusing the melody. The
target's eyes glimmer with an otherworldly
luminescence as the enchantment takes hold, and
they become temporarily entranced by the
captivating sounds that surround them.
To those observing from afar, the spell appears like
an ethereal dance between the caster and their
target, as the threads of music gently tug at the
target's mind and emotions. The effects of the
Enthralling Tune can vary greatly, from a sudden
surge of honesty and candor to the performance of
deeds that defy their typical nature.
As a spell that draws its power from the interplay of
fantasy and science, the Enthralling Tune reminds all
who encounter it of the profound connection between
magic and music, leaving them in awe of the
enchanting beauty that permeates their world.
Name: Ventriloquism
School of Magic: Illusion
Level: 1
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Ventriloquism, a spell of trickery and deception, falls
under the school of illusion. When you cast this spell,
you channel your magical prowess into altering the
sound of your voice, enabling you to create the
illusion that sounds are emanating from a designated
location within 60 feet. The target creature hears the
sound as if it genuinely originates from the chosen
point, regardless of your actual position. The subtle
nuances in your vocal manipulation make it difficult
for the creature to discern the source of the sound.
The spell serves a multitude of purposes, both in the
art of subterfuge and strategic maneuvering. You
could use it to distract guards, mislead enemies, or
create diversions during a tense infiltration. The
illusionary sounds might include whispers, footsteps,
creaking doors, or even the distant call of a creature.
The efficacy of the spell depends on your ability to
conceive and execute believable sounds.
Enhanced Effects:
Casting this spell using a higher level spell slot
grants you greater control over the illusion. At 2nd
level, you can target two creatures with the illusion.
At 3rd level, you can create the illusion in two
different locations simultaneously or extend the
duration to 10 minutes. At 4th level, you can target
three creatures and add minor visual illusions to
accompany the sounds. At 5th level, the illusion can
now encompass an area of 30-foot radius, and you
can weave more complex auditory and visual
illusions.
Casting:
To cast Ventriloquism, you must perform intricate
somatic gestures and speak a secret phrase in the
language of magic, invoking the essence of
deception. Your tone, pitch, and emphasis during the
incantation directly influence the believability of the
illusion. Additionally, the spell requires the presence
of an object or material from the location where you
want the sound to appear, which serves as a magical
focus for the illusion to latch onto. This object is
consumed in the process.
434
Hexmaster
Flavor:
When you invoke Ventriloquism, your voice takes on
an ethereal, otherworldly quality. It might seem to
echo from distant realms, lending an air of mystique
to your spellcasting. As the illusion spreads, the
ambient sounds of the environment may subtly warp,
blending with the sounds you create. Spectral
echoes may ripple through the air, teasing the
senses of those who fall prey to your illusion.
Observers may notice a faint shimmer in the air
around you as the magic takes effect, but identifying
the true source of the illusion remains an
insurmountable challenge.
As you weave the spell, the tone of your voice shifts,
rising and falling with the sonic apparitions you
fabricate. It's an intricate and captivating dance of
vocal finesse, akin to a maestro orchestrating an
invisible symphony. The sound you produce through
Ventriloquism is so convincing that even you might
momentarily doubt its illusory nature.
Masters of this spell can use it to craft intricate
scenarios, telling haunting stories or recreating
ancient battles with sound alone. The range of
creative applications is only limited by the caster's
imagination and ability to convey lifelike sounds
through their mystical gift of Ventriloquism.
Name: Mischievous Spark
School of Magic: Evocation
Level: 0
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Target: One creature or flammable object
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Dexterity saving throw
Spell Resistance: No
Description: Mischievous Spark is a playful cantrip
that allows the caster to conjure a tiny, vibrant spark
of magical energy, no bigger than a firefly. Upon
casting the spell, the spark hovers in the air, its
illumination varying in color from bright azure to
dazzling golden hues, depending on the caster's
magical affinity. The mischievous spark dances and
flits around, radiating warmth and cheer wherever it
goes.
Hexmaster
When targeting a creature, the spark can either
amuse or startle it. If the caster intends to amuse, the
spark emits a series of faint, melodic chimes,
causing the target to feel a sense of tranquility and
goodwill. However, if the caster aims to startle, the
spark lets out a sudden, dazzling burst of light, akin
to a flash of a camera. The target must then succeed
on a Dexterity saving throw to avoid being
momentarily blinded.
When cast on a flammable object, the spark has the
potential to ignite it, causing a small flame to erupt.
The flame is relatively weak and can only set fire to
highly flammable materials, such as dry leaves,
parchments, or oil-soaked rags. The spark is
incapable of igniting non-flammable or magical
objects, ensuring a limited but useful range of
applications.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When cast using a higher-level spell slot, the
Mischievous Spark's effects become more potent.
The amusement brought forth by the spark
intensifies, and the creature or creatures affected
become temporarily charmed. The soothing sounds
of the spark's chimes create an aura of camaraderie
and friendship, making it easier for the caster or their
allies to persuade and interact with the charmed
creatures for the spell's duration.
Casting: To cast the Mischievous Spark, the caster
weaves their fingers in intricate patterns, like a
conductor orchestrating a symphony of arcane
energy. They utter a lilting incantation that
harmonizes with the spell's playful nature. A pinch of
phosphorescent powder or a tiny diamond is used as
the somatic component, consumed during casting to
imbue the spark with its ephemeral glow.
Flavor: The Mischievous Spark is a sight to behold!
When cast, a soft, melodious hum fills the air, and
the caster's fingertips seem to ignite briefly with a
gentle, luminescent glow. The spark itself appears as
a tiny ball of shimmering light that zips and loops
through the air like a playful sprite, leaving faint trails
of glowing dust in its wake. The chimes that
accompany its presence are reminiscent of a
mystical wind chime, adding to the magical ambiance
surrounding the spell.
As the Mischievous Spark interacts with its targets,
whether creatures or objects, it emanates a warmth
that can be sensed by those nearby, creating an
435
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
atmosphere of whimsy and enchantment. The
spark's gentle glow and harmonic sounds are a
source of delight and amusement to all who witness
its enchanting display. Though not a spell of great
power, Mischievous Spark exemplifies the beauty
and wonder that magic can bring to the world,
evoking smiles and laughter wherever it goes.
Name: Topsy-Turvy
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 0
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Target: One creature or object
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Dexterity saving throw
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Topsy-Turvy is a whimsical and mischievous spell
that allows the caster to manipulate gravity in a small
area, causing temporary chaos and confusion. When
you cast this spell, you speak a playful incantation
while performing a flick of your wrist, invoking the
strange forces of transmutation. A target creature or
object within range must make a Dexterity saving
throw to resist the spell's effects.
On a failed save, the target experiences a
momentary shift in gravity, causing it to float gently in
the air for a brief duration. While floating, the target
creature or object has its balance disrupted, making
it harder for them to move or take actions. For the
next 1 round (approximately 6 seconds), the affected
target hovers unpredictably within the spell's range,
moving erratically and unable to maintain a steady
position.
During this time, creatures affected by Topsy-Turvy
have disadvantage on Dexterity-based skill checks
and saving throws, making it challenging for them to
maintain their footing, aim accurately, or perform
delicate tasks. Objects under the influence of this
spell will wobble, bob, and sway, as if defying the
laws of physics.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When casting Topsy-Turvy using a spell slot of a
higher level, the duration of the effect increases by 1
round for each level above the base level (maximum
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
1 minute at 9th level). Additionally, the range of the
spell extends by 10 feet for each level above the
base level.
Casting:
Topsy-Turvy requires a light-hearted and playful
demeanor from the caster. The verbal component of
the spell involves reciting a short rhyme or chant that
accentuates the magical mirth. The somatic
component is a swift, graceful wave of the hand,
much like a magician's flourish, which helps channel
the energy of whimsy into the spell.
Flavor:
As you cast Topsy-Turvy, a faint glimmer of
shimmering light tinged with all the colors of the
rainbow dances around your fingertips. When you
complete the incantation, the shimmer coalesces into
a tiny, sparkling vortex of chaotic energy that shoots
toward the target with a mischievous giggle.
Upon reaching the target, the vortex bursts open in a
burst of colorful confetti, enveloping the creature or
object. For a moment, the air around them seems to
lose its sense of direction as everything starts to float
gently. Laughter, like tinkling bells, fills the air as the
target bounces, spins, and bobs erratically in the
distorted gravity.
As the spell ends, the confetti dissipates, and gravity
returns to normal, leaving the target momentarily
disoriented and perhaps slightly dizzy from the topsy-
turvy experience. This spell is often used in playful
pranks, jests, or as a distraction during comical
encounters, but it can also serve as a useful tool in
the right situation. However, beware casting it around
serious or stern individuals, as they may not
appreciate the spell's whimsical nature and could
react unfavorably!
Name: Trickster's Gambit
School of Magic: Illusion
Level: 1st
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Description: Trickster's Gambit is a mischievous
spell that taps into the elusive powers of illusion
436
Hexmaster
magic. As you cast the spell, your form shimmers,
and a perfect duplicate of yourself materializes
beside you. This doppelganger is an illusion, but it
appears so lifelike that even experienced observers
might struggle to distinguish between you and the
duplicate.
Once conjured, you can control the duplicate
remotely with your thoughts, directing its movements
and actions. It is intangible and cannot interact
physically with the environment, but it can interact
with the minds of those around it. The illusion can
speak, create simple sounds, and mimic your
mannerisms perfectly, making it an excellent tool for
deception and distraction.
However, its abilities are not limitless. The duplicate
cannot deal damage or inflict any harmful conditions,
as it lacks physical substance. It is also incapable of
casting spells or performing complex tasks that
require fine manipulation, such as picking locks.
Furthermore, if the illusion ever moves more than 30
feet away from you, it vanishes with a faint poof.
Casting: To cast Trickster's Gambit, you must stand
tall and confidently while speaking the incantation in
a lyrical tone. As you utter the words, you must
execute a series of precise hand gestures, weaving
intricate patterns in the air. Additionally, the spell
requires a small silver mirror, which you must hold up
to reflect your image as the duplicate takes shape.
Flavor: The moment Trickster's Gambit is cast, an
ethereal echo of yourself emerges from your body.
The duplicate wears the same clothes as you and
mimics your every movement, but its features appear
slightly more refined and exaggerated, giving it an
otherworldly allure. It shimmers with iridescent
colors, like a soap bubble catching the light.
Whenever it speaks, its voice has an echoing,
ethereal quality, adding to the mysterious and
deceptive nature of the spell.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When cast using a 2nd-level spell slot or higher, the
duration of Trickster's Gambit increases by 1 minute
for each level above 1st.
The range of the spell extends by 10 feet for every
level above 1st. For example, casting it as a 2nd-
level spell increases the range to 40 feet, and as a
3rd-level spell, it becomes 50 feet.
When cast at 2nd level or higher, the illusion gains
Hexmaster
the ability to interact with objects of negligible weight
(up to 1 pound) within 10 feet of its position. It can
manipulate these objects to a limited extent, such as
opening or closing a door, turning a key, or pushing a
small item. However, it cannot activate mechanisms
that require complex actions or significant force.
The Trickster's Gambit is a spell favored by
illusionists and cunning rogues alike, allowing them
to weave intricate webs of deceit and misdirection.
Whether you use it to baffle enemies in combat or to
execute elaborate pranks, this spell is a testament to
the power of illusions in the hands of a clever
spellcaster.
Name: Beguiling Performance
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: 1
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Target: One creature within range
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Beguiling Performance is a spell that weaves the
magic of enchantment into the caster's artistic
expression. When casting this spell, the performer
exudes an aura of charisma and allure that affects
the emotions and opinions of a chosen target within
30 feet. The spell is often favored by bards and
entertainers, who use its power to sway the hearts
and minds of those who witness their captivating
acts.
Upon casting Beguiling Performance, the caster
begins a captivating performance, be it through
dance, music, or storytelling. The target must make a
Wisdom saving throw to resist the magical charm. If
the target fails the save, they become charmed by
the performer and view them with a mixture of
admiration and fascination.
While charmed in this way, the target's emotions and
opinions are temporarily influenced by the caster.
This effect can lead to a variety of outcomes
depending on the situation:
Diplomatic Charisma: The target becomes more
amiable and receptive to the caster's words, making
it easier to negotiate or persuade them. This could
437
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
be beneficial in resolving conflicts peacefully or
convincing the target to share valuable information.
Emotional Manipulation: The caster can subtly steer
the target's emotions, evoking feelings of joy, sorrow,
fear, or any other emotion they wish. This could be
used to incite a riot, calm a hostile crowd, or evoke
sympathy from important figures.
Crowd Control: If performed in front of a group, the
spell's effect can spread to nearby individuals who
fail their Wisdom saving throws. The caster can use
this to maintain control over an audience or turn a
hostile crowd into an admiring one.
Casting:
To cast Beguiling Performance, the caster must be
proficient in a form of artistic expression, such as
singing, acting, or playing an instrument. The verbal
component involves a melodious incantation that
resonates with the performer's art, and the somatic
component includes graceful gestures that enhance
the enchanting display.
Flavor:
As the spell is cast, a subtle but shimmering aura
envelopes the performer, making their movements
seem more graceful and their voice more
enchanting. Colors might ripple through the air,
representing the swirl of emotions the spell conjures.
When the target becomes charmed, their eyes might
glimmer with a mesmerized quality, and they will
hang on to the performer's every word and gesture.
Enhanced Effects:
When cast using a spell slot of a higher level, the
range of the spell increases, allowing the caster to
influence a broader audience. Additionally, the
duration of the spell extends, allowing the performer
to maintain the beguiling effects over their audience
for an even longer period, potentially swaying events
and opinions for hours rather than minutes.
Limitations:
Beguiling Performance is a subtle form of
enchantment and works best on individuals with
emotions and personal opinions. Mindless creatures,
such as undead or constructs, are unaffected by the
spell. Furthermore, the charmed state does not force
the target to perform any specific actions or tasks
against their nature. Instead, it subtly alters their
emotions and attitudes, leaving them still capable of
recognizing manipulation or obvious attempts at
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
harm.
Name: Mirror Image
School of Magic: Illusion
Level: 1
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: 1 minute (Concentration)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Mirror Image is a captivating spell that taps into the
wondrous realm of illusion magic. When cast, you
momentarily blur the lines between reality and
imagination, creating convincing phantasmal
duplicates of yourself that dance around you in a
graceful and mesmerizing display. These illusory
copies mirror your every move, causing confusion
and bewilderment among attackers, making it more
challenging for them to strike you with accuracy.
Each time you are targeted by an attack while the
spell is active, your assailant must determine
whether they hit you or one of your illusory clones.
The illusionary duplicates are so convincing that they
share your exact appearance, voice, and even carry
a faint trace of your magical aura. The attacker must
roll a d20 to determine if they hit the correct target or
an illusion. If the roll result is equal to or higher than
11, they hit an illusion, causing it to vanish in a
spectacular burst of shimmering light. Only when the
attacker's roll is less than 11 do they strike you
directly.
The spell's effectiveness increases as you gain
experience and power as a spellcaster. When you
cast this spell using a higher-level spell slot, you
create an additional illusory duplicate for each slot
level above 1st. This means that casting Mirror
Image with a 2nd-level spell slot creates two
duplicates, a 3rd-level slot creates three duplicates,
and so forth. The added complexity of more illusions
further confounds attackers, making it even more
difficult for them to find the real you.
Casting:
To invoke the magic of Mirror Image, you must
skillfully blend verbal incantations with precise
438
Hexmaster
somatic gestures. The verbal component involves
whispering arcane phrases, drawing inspiration from
the echoes of forgotten words spoken by ancient
illusionists. Your hand movements during the
somatic component are intricate and fluid, weaving
an intricate pattern in the air as you summon the
illusionary energies.
To unleash this spell's full potential, you must be fully
focused and undisturbed while maintaining
concentration. Any interruption or loss of
concentration can cause the illusions to falter and
fade prematurely, leaving you vulnerable to your
adversaries.
Flavor:
As you cast Mirror Image, a luminous aura envelops
your form, and with a flourish of your outstretched
hand, multiple shimmering figures emerge from your
silhouette. These phantoms come to life, twirling and
gliding around you with graceful synchrony, giving
the impression of a mesmerizing dance. Each
duplicate is identical to you, wearing the same attire,
wielding the same equipment, and exuding an
ethereal charm.
The illusions' haunting laughter echoes through the
air, further disorienting your attackers and casting an
aura of uncertainty across the battlefield. The mirror-
like reflections in their eyes seem to play tricks on
reality, making it nearly impossible for adversaries to
discern which one is the true spellcaster amidst the
enchanting spectacle.
The illusory duplicates emit a soft, alluring hum, akin
to the sound of wind chimes on a calm summer's
day. This harmonic resonance creates an
otherworldly ambiance that surrounds you, adding to
the mystique of the spell.
With the grand performance of Mirror Image in full
swing, attackers become captivated by the visual
spectacle, their minds temporarily immersed in a
realm where reality and illusion intertwine, allowing
you precious moments to maneuver strategically or
retreat to a safer position.
Name: Fey Step
School of Magic: Conjuration
Level: 1
Casting Time: 1 action
Hexmaster
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Fey Step is a spell that taps into the mystical
energies of the Feywild, a realm of ethereal beauty
and magical wonder. By invoking the ancient
incantations and performing precise gestures, the
caster opens a brief portal to the Feywild, allowing
them to momentarily step into this otherworldly
plane.
Upon casting Fey Step, the caster's surroundings
shimmer with an enchanting iridescence, and for a
fleeting moment, they appear translucent, as if their
form is merging with the colors of the Feywild. With a
sense of weightlessness and euphoria, the caster
vanishes from their original position and reappears
up to 30 feet away in any unoccupied space they can
see.
This spell provides a swift escape from danger or an
opportunity for strategic repositioning during combat.
It is especially favored by those who cherish the
harmony of nature and seek to emulate the graceful
movements of Fey creatures.
Casting:
To cast Fey Step, the caster must speak ancient
words of elven origin, flowing like a soft melody of
nature's song. They weave intricate hand
movements resembling the delicate dance of
woodland sprites. Additionally, the caster must be in
a place where the boundaries between the material
plane and the Feywild are thin, such as a dense
forest glade, a moonlit clearing, or the presence of a
mystical artifact attuned to the Feywild.
Flavor:
As the spell is cast, the air around the caster
becomes alive with sparkling motes of vibrant colors.
Their form shimmers and blurs as if enveloped by a
mirage of blooming flowers and glittering fairy dust.
The soft whispering of wind chimes fills the
immediate vicinity, and the scent of wildflowers wafts
through the air. Upon the successful activation of the
spell, a subtle but distinct ripple spreads through the
fabric of reality, leaving a faint afterglow of
enchanting hues for a brief moment.
439
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
Enhanced Effects:
When cast using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher,
the range of Fey Step increases by an additional 10
feet for each slot level above 1st. Additionally, the
caster gains the ability to bring along a willing
Medium or smaller creature of their choice during the
teleportation, provided the target is in contact with
the caster. This enhanced version allows for tactical
teamwork and daring escapes from even more
perilous situations.
Limitations:
While Fey Step is an elegant and magical means of
movement, it can only be used once before requiring
a moment of rest to tap into the mystical energies
again. Furthermore, the spell cannot transport the
caster through barriers, and any attempt to do so
may result in the caster's displacement back to their
original location. Lastly, if the caster finds themselves
in an environment where the connection to the
Feywild is weak or disrupted, they will be unable to
use this spell until they find a more suitable location.
So, embrace the essence of the Feywild, and let the
enchanting realm whisk you away to safety or
adventure with the wondrous Fey Step!
Name: Mindful Manipulation
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: 1
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: Mindful Manipulation is a spell that
allows the caster to weave a delicate web of
enchantment and persuasion, tapping into the subtler
threads of the magical fabric. When you cast this
spell, you choose a single creature within range, and
through a series of intricate gestures and soft
incantations, you attempt to plant a subtle suggestion
deep within the target's subconscious mind.
The target must make a Wisdom saving throw to
resist the enchantment. On a successful save, the
spell has no effect, and the target becomes aware of
your attempt to manipulate their thoughts. However,
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
on a failed save, the enchantment takes root, subtly
altering the target's perception and making them
more receptive to your influence.
While under the influence of Mindful Manipulation,
the target is not mind-controlled but rather nudged to
consider your ideas and suggestions more favorably.
You can suggest a course of action or provide
information in a way that aligns with their existing
beliefs and values. The suggestion must be
reasonable and within the realm of possibility, or the
target will instinctively resist it.
The spell's effects are subtle, and the target might
not be consciously aware of the external influence on
their decisions. However, the influence fades if the
target is confronted with a direct contradiction to the
implanted suggestion or if they face a situation that is
clearly against their own interests or principles.
Casting at Higher Levels: When you cast Mindful
Manipulation using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher,
the duration of the spell increases. For each slot
level above 1st, the concentration duration extends
by an additional hour. This can potentially make the
target more receptive to your influence for a longer
period.
Casting: To cast Mindful Manipulation, the caster
utters melodious phrases, resembling whispers of
wind through leaves, with a mesmerizing rhythm that
captivates the target's mind. They complement these
verbal components with fluid, graceful hand
movements that mimic the delicate dance of
butterflies in flight.
Flavor: When the Mindful Manipulation spell is cast,
a faint, glowing aura envelops the target, resembling
ripples on a calm pond. These magical ripples
shimmer with alluring colors that seem to blend and
shift like a mesmerizing kaleidoscope. The sound of
gentle chimes accompanies the casting, creating a
serene and captivating atmosphere.
As the spell takes effect, tendrils of faint, silvery light
gently wrap around the target's head, symbolizing
the subtle ties between their thoughts and the
caster's enchanting influence. The tendrils flicker with
soft flashes, like distant stars twinkling in the night
sky, representing the delicate connection between
the two minds during the spell's duration.
It is essential to approach the use of Mindful
440
Hexmaster
Manipulation with great caution and responsibility, as
manipulating another creature's mind, even subtly,
can have significant consequences and ethical
implications. The spell is best used to nudge
individuals towards positive actions and decisions,
fostering harmony and cooperation rather than
imposing one's will upon others.
Name: Puppet Strings
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: 1
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One willing creature or object
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: With a wave of your hand and an
incantation on your lips, you summon ethereal
threads of energy, unseen by the naked eye, to
weave a web of control over a willing creature or
object within range. The target must be willing to
accept your manipulation; otherwise, the spell fails.
If you target a creature, it must make a Wisdom
saving throw to resist your influence. On a failed
save, you gain complete control over its movements
for the duration of the spell. You can make the target
move up to its speed in any direction you choose,
and it obeys your commands as if it were a
marionette on strings. This control extends to its
actions, allowing you to make it attack, interact with
objects, or perform other tasks as long as they don't
directly harm the target or cause severe discomfort.
The enchanted creature retains its mental faculties
while under your control and is aware of its actions
but can do nothing to resist them. It can speak and
communicate with others but cannot initiate harmful
actions against itself or others while the spell lasts.
Should the target succeed in its Wisdom saving
throw, it breaks free from your puppeteer grasp,
ending the spell's effects. Additionally, the spell ends
prematurely if you move out of range or if the target
moves out of range by more than 60 feet.
Casting: To cast the Puppet Strings spell, you must
speak an arcane verse while performing intricate
gestures with your hands, mimicking the motion of a
Hexmaster
puppeteer controlling marionettes. Additionally, you
need a small, finely crafted silver string to focus the
spell's energies. The silver string is consumed in the
process, and using a more exquisite material, like a
gold filament, can enhance the spell's potency.
Flavor: When you cast Puppet Strings, iridescent
tendrils of light in a myriad of colors emerge from
your fingertips, coiling around the target like phantom
threads. These threads pulsate in response to your
commands, and anyone observing the scene would
witness the surreal dance of control taking place.
The target seems to move as if pulled by an invisible
puppeteer, its actions smooth yet devoid of free will,
an uncanny spectacle that can both awe and disturb
those who witness it. As the spell's energy wanes,
the threads gradually fade into wisps of light until
they finally disperse into the surrounding air.
Name: Illusory Terrain
School of Magic: Illusion
Level: 2nd level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: 20-foot radius sphere centered on a point
within range
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a small
piece of mica)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
Saving Throw: Intelligence saving throw (disbelieve)
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Illusory Terrain is a beguiling spell that grants the
caster the power to reshape reality within a
designated area. Upon casting, the wizard invokes
the mystic forces of illusion, creating a shimmering
nexus at the chosen point. This nexus serves as the
anchor from which the illusory landscape emerges,
stretching across a 20-foot radius sphere.
Within this illusory realm, the caster can manipulate
the visual and auditory sensations of any creature
stepping inside. The illusion is customizable, allowing
the caster to create various types of terrains. For
instance, they could fashion an illusion of a lush
forest complete with towering trees, chirping birds,
and a gentle breeze rustling the leaves. Alternatively,
they might construct a treacherous, rocky wasteland
with jagged cliffs and ominous howls echoing
441
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
through the air. The spell is limited only by the
caster's imagination.
As creatures enter the Illusory Terrain, they must
make an Intelligence saving throw to determine if
they perceive the illusion as false. Those who fail to
discern the deception will be entirely convinced of
the fabricated environment, effectively blinding them
to the actual surroundings. For them, the illusion
becomes their reality.
While within the illusory landscape, the deceived
creatures will find their movements impeded and
unstable. Walking through the illusion can be like
navigating through thick underbrush, causing them to
stumble and lose balance. This effect does not cause
damage but can significantly hinder their combat
capabilities.
Enhanced Effects:
When cast using a spell slot of higher level than 2nd,
the duration of the Illusory Terrain extends by 1 hour
for each level above 2nd. Additionally, the size of the
affected area increases by 5 feet in radius for every
level above 2nd.
Casting:
To cast Illusory Terrain, the wizard stands at the
chosen point within range, holding a small piece of
mica in hand. With a melodious incantation that
weaves the very fabric of illusion, they trace a
complex pattern in the air, bringing the illusory nexus
to life. Throughout the casting, they must remain
focused on their desired terrain, visualizing its every
detail, for any wavering in concentration can lead to
unintended and chaotic illusions.
Flavor:
As the spell takes form, a magical ripple emanates
from the caster's hands, spreading outwards until it
engulfs the designated area. The ground beneath
their feet seems to shimmer, and the surrounding
environment transforms seamlessly into the illusion's
theme. The air becomes infused with the scent and
sounds appropriate to the illusory terrain, immersing
all who dare to venture within it.
The illusory landscape is incredibly convincing,
almost indistinguishable from reality to those who fail
their saving throws. Even experienced adventurers
might find themselves second-guessing their senses
within this masterful illusion.
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
Name: Misdirection
School of Magic: Illusion
Level: 2
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Misdirection is a spell cherished by tricksters and
tacticians alike. To cast this spell, the caster utters
an arcane incantation while weaving intricate
patterns in the air with their fingers. A faint,
mesmerizing glow surrounds the caster's hands as
they channel the magic.
The illusionary decoy created by Misdirection mimics
a chosen creature known to the caster or takes on a
generic form if no specific creature is selected. This
decoy appears life-like and can be controlled by the
caster's mental commands, moving and acting as
directed. It can engage in simple movements such as
walking, running, or performing basic actions like
swinging a sword or firing a bow, but it cannot
perform complex tasks or speak.
The caster must maintain concentration to control the
decoy, directing its movements and actions. The
decoy can move within a range of 60 feet from the
caster, but the caster can perceive through its
senses, allowing them to "see" what the decoy sees.
This makes it easier for the caster to manipulate the
illusion and make it seem more convincing.
Effects and Limitations:
When the illusionary decoy is deployed, enemies
within a 30-foot radius of the decoy must make a
Wisdom saving throw to see through the illusion.
Creatures that fail the saving throw believe the decoy
is a genuine threat and direct their attention toward it.
As a result, attacks made by the caster's allies
against these distracted enemies gain advantage, as
the foes are momentarily bewildered and thrown off
balance.
However, perceptive or intelligent enemies might
have a higher chance of detecting the illusion and
can thus resist the effect. Creatures with keen
senses or truesight are more likely to see through the
442
Hexmaster
decoy's ruse. Additionally, creatures that have been
subjected to Misdirection before may gain advantage
on their saving throw due to increased familiarity with
the spell.
The illusionary decoy itself is insubstantial and does
not deal any damage to enemies. It merely serves as
a convincing distraction. Furthermore, while the
caster can direct its movements, the decoy cannot
interact with physical objects or perform actions that
require any real force. If it takes any damage, the
spell ends, revealing the illusion to be false.
Enhanced Effects:
When Misdirection is cast using a spell slot of 3rd
level or higher, the range of the illusionary decoy
increases by 30 feet for each level above 2nd.
Additionally, the number of targets the spell can
affect increases by one for every two levels above
2nd. For example, casting Misdirection with a 4th-
level spell slot would allow the creation of two
illusionary decoys within 90 feet of the caster.
Casting:
To cast Misdirection successfully, the caster must
possess a focus for the spell—a small, crystalline
prism used to imbue the decoy with a mesmerizing
quality. The caster also needs a piece of fabric from
a performer's costume, symbolizing the art of illusion,
to complete the components required for the spell.
Flavor:
When Misdirection is cast, an ethereal mist envelops
the area as if a dreamlike haze has descended upon
reality. The illusionary decoy takes on a semi-
translucent form, shimmering and flickering like a
mirage. It may have a faint, otherworldly glow,
emanating an air of enchantment and allure. As it
moves, it leaves faint traces of light in its wake,
adding to the mystique of its existence.
The illusionary decoy can produce faint sounds, such
as the soft footsteps of an approaching warrior or the
rustling of leaves as it moves through the terrain.
These sounds are not physically present but are
projected through magical means, further enhancing
the illusion's credibility.
In a flourish of artistry and craft, Misdirection blends
the mystical beauty of illusion with strategic cunning,
turning the tide of battle in favor of those who wield
its deceptive power. It stands as a testament to the
imaginative prowess of those who traverse the realm
Hexmaster
of science fantasy.
Name: Charming Glance
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: 2nd level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Charming Glance is an enchanting spell that allows
the caster to establish a mesmerizing connection
with a single creature by locking eyes with them.
With a subtle yet compelling stare, the caster taps
into the target's emotions, temporarily swaying their
will and bending them to their own. This spell is often
employed by skilled diplomats, cunning spies, or
those who seek to influence others without resorting
to overt aggression.
When casting Charming Glance, the caster must
speak softly, weaving an enchanting incantation that
resonates with the weave of magic. They gesture
gracefully with their hands, their fingers moving as if
conducting an ethereal symphony, coaxing the
energies of charm to manifest. The process requires
focus and concentration to maintain the connection
throughout the duration.
Upon a failed Wisdom saving throw by the target,
they become charmed by the caster for the spell's
duration. While charmed, the target views the caster
in a more favorable light, seeing them as a
captivating and trusted ally. However, the charm is
not absolute mind control, and the target still
possesses their own agency and sense of self-
preservation.
Under the influence of the spell, the target is more
willing to listen to the caster's suggestions and
requests. The caster can issue simple commands to
the charmed creature, such as "stay," "follow," "wait,"
or "flee." The creature will comply with these
commands if they are not obviously self-destructive
or directly harmful to their well-being.
Should the caster attempt to issue a command that
443
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
goes against the target's nature or moral principles,
the target will be granted another Wisdom saving
throw to break free from the charm. Additionally, any
action taken by the caster or their allies that directly
harms the charmed creature will automatically break
the enchantment.
Enhanced Effects:
When casting Charming Glance using a higher-level
spell slot, the duration of the charm increases. At 3rd
level, the spell lasts for 10 minutes, at 4th level for 1
hour, at 5th level for 8 hours, and at 6th level for 24
hours. However, increasing the spell level does not
grant the caster greater control over the target's
actions.
Flavor:
As the caster begins the incantation, their eyes start
to glimmer with a soft, otherworldly radiance. When
they make eye contact with the target, the glow
intensifies, and a hypnotic aura shimmers in the air
between them. The target's eyes briefly reflect the
same iridescent gleam, indicating the magical
connection has been established.
Throughout the spell's duration, the target's emotions
subtly mirror those of the caster, and a sense of
camaraderie and trust seems to emanate from the
enchanted creature. Observers might notice a faint
musical hum that surrounds the target and the
caster, as if the melody of their charming interaction
is blending harmoniously with the background
symphony of the cosmos.
Name: Deceptive Veil
School of Magic: Illusion
Level: 2nd
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Deceptive Veil is a captivating spell that taps into the
art of illusion, allowing the caster to create a misty,
shimmering veil around themselves. When cast, the
air surrounding the caster seems to shift and distort,
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
creating an ethereal cloak of illusionary mist. As the
mist swirls around the caster, it grants them an
advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks, making it
easier to move silently and remain unseen in
shadows and dim light. The caster gains an uncanny
ability to blend into their surroundings, becoming
nearly imperceptible to those who might seek to
detect them.
Furthermore, the illusionary mist confuses and
misdirects the aim of any foes attempting to target
the caster directly. Ranged attacks and spells
directed at the caster suffer a disadvantage, as the
mist distorts the perception of distance and location,
causing attacks to miss or strike harmlessly off
target.
The spell's effectiveness depends on the caster's
skill in illusion magic, and the more adept they are,
the more realistic and convincing the mist appears,
making it harder for enemies to see through the ruse.
Casting:
To cast Deceptive Veil, the caster utters an
incantation in an ancient language, weaving their
intentions into the words. With a graceful and
mesmerizing series of hand gestures, they conjure
the illusionary mist around their body. As the mist
begins to envelop them, the caster must focus on
maintaining concentration to sustain the illusion for
the desired duration.
Flavor:
When Deceptive Veil is cast, it triggers a dazzling
spectacle for those who witness it. The air seems to
ripple and shimmer around the caster as if heated by
invisible flames. A soft, melodious hum echoes in the
air, adding to the otherworldly ambiance. The mist
that forms around the caster takes on a luminescent,
iridescent quality, like a veil woven from the finest
gossamer threads.
From a distance, the caster appears as if veiled in a
mysterious cloak of opalescent colors, their features
obscured by the ever-shifting fog. As they move, the
mist undulates gracefully, making it seem as if they
are gliding instead of walking.
At times, the caster's figure seems to fragment and
dissipate into several indistinct forms, further
confusing observers as to their exact location. This
illusion is especially effective when the caster moves
through shadows or near other sources of light,
444
Hexmaster
making them appear to be a mirage dancing on the
edge of reality.
The Deceptive Veil spell not only grants tactical
advantages in stealth and evasion but also leaves an
indelible impression on those who witness it, often
leaving them in awe and wonder, wondering if they
just witnessed a mirage or a truly magical spectacle.
Name: Melody of Misfortune
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: 2
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature of your choice within range
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Musical (you must
play a musical instrument or use your voice to create
the haunting melody)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw (On a
successful save, the target is not affected by the
spell)
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
The Melody of Misfortune is a spell that taps into the
enchanting power of music to weave a haunting
melody capable of bringing misfortune upon a
chosen enemy. When you cast this spell, you begin
to play an otherworldly tune on a musical instrument
or use your own voice to create an eerie, resonating
sound that sends shivers down the spines of those
who hear it.
The magic of the melody targets a single creature of
your choice within a range of 60 feet. The chosen
target must make a Wisdom saving throw or fall
under the spell's effect. On a failed save, the target is
affected by bad luck, causing their attacks and
abilities to be plagued with higher chances of failure
for the duration of the spell.
While under the influence of Melody of Misfortune,
the target's attack rolls, ability checks, and saving
throws are all subject to a disadvantage. The rhythm
of the enchanting melody disrupts their focus and
interferes with their innate skills and talents. They
might trip over their own feet, miss their shots, or
fumble their spells, all due to the persistent shadow
Hexmaster
of ill fortune cast upon them.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When casting Melody of Misfortune using a higher-
level spell slot, the spell's potency increases. For
each level higher than 2nd, the range of the spell
extends by an additional 10 feet, and the duration is
prolonged by 1 additional minute per level.
Additionally, the severity of the misfortune escalates,
causing the target to suffer an even greater
disadvantage on their rolls. For example, when cast
as a 3rd-level spell, the disadvantage becomes even
more pronounced, and at 4th level, the chances of
failure for the target's attacks and abilities are
heightened even further.
Casting:
To cast the Melody of Misfortune, you must stand tall
and focus your mind on the intended target while
playing the haunting melody on a musical instrument
or using your voice. The gestures and inflections of
the tune must be precise and filled with intent to
imbue the magic with the required enchanting power.
The spell's full effect can only be achieved if the
melody is played without interruption, and any
disruption might weaken or even nullify the magic.
Flavor:
When you begin casting the Melody of Misfortune, a
palpable sense of unease fills the air. The
background noises seem to fade away, leaving only
the haunting melody echoing through the
surroundings. The tune carries a somber tone with
occasional dissonant notes that reverberate like
ghostly echoes.
The air around you seems to shimmer slightly as the
magic of the melody takes form, creating an ethereal,
silvery mist that wraps around the chosen target.
This spectral mist is a visual representation of the
bad luck that clings to the affected creature, making
it appear as if a veil of misfortune has been draped
over them.
As the melody persists, the misfortune-infused aura
occasionally flickers and sparks with flashes of
ominous energy, which further enhances the
sensation of impending disaster for the target. The
surrounding sounds and colors seem muted and
muffled, as if the world itself recognizes the
malevolent presence of the spell.
Despite the unsettling nature of the Melody of
445
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
Misfortune, it exudes a strange allure, drawing the
attention of onlookers to the eerie display of mystical
power. However, those who understand its true
purpose know that to be within the spell's range is to
invite a dance with fate, one that no creature wishes
to partake in willingly.
Name: Grand Illusion: Illusory Mirage
School of Magic: Illusion
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Target: A 60-foot radius sphere
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a crystal
clear prism and a pinch of finely powdered
gemstones worth at least 100 gold pieces, consumed
during casting)
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
Saving Throw: Intelligence saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
To cast the Grand Illusion: Illusory Mirage spell, the
caster first weaves intricate gestures with their
hands, manipulating the surrounding magical energy.
As they utter the incantation in a melodious, hypnotic
tone, the crystal clear prism is held aloft, capturing
and refracting the ambient light to enhance the
illusion's realism. To further empower the spell, the
caster must be within a natural environment, like a
dense forest, tranquil lake, or atop a majestic
mountain, allowing them to attune their magic to the
essence of the surroundings.
Upon completion of the casting, the air shimmers
with a subtle kaleidoscope of colors, forming a
mesmerizing visual spectacle. The illusion slowly
takes shape, growing larger and more detailed by the
second, until it encompasses the designated 60-foot
radius area. Every blade of grass, every rustling leaf,
and every gentle breeze seems genuine, and even
experienced adventurers might find it challenging to
discern reality from deception.
The illusion can simulate a variety of awe-inspiring
scenes: a hidden oasis in a barren desert, a bustling
marketplace filled with lively merchants, a serene
garden within a labyrinthine castle, or even a
fearsome dragon soaring through the skies,
breathing ethereal fire. Illusory Mirage adapts to the
imagination and intent of the caster, who can create
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
the most immersive and tantalizing experience for
their audience.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When casting Grand Illusion: Illusory Mirage using a
spell slot of 4th level or higher, the illusion's scope
expands by an additional 20 feet radius per level
above 3rd. Moreover, the illusion's realism becomes
even more convincing, allowing the caster to
incorporate subtle sensory elements like fragrances,
ambient sounds, and even sensations of warmth or
chill, making it nearly indistinguishable from reality.
Flavor:
As Grand Illusion: Illusory Mirage takes form, the air
thrums with a harmonious resonance, evoking a
symphony of notes that resonate with the weave of
magic. Spectral light dances around the edges of the
illusion, casting a mesmerizing glow that captivates
onlookers. The soundscape of the illusion is as vivid
as its visual aspect, with soft whispers, distant
laughter, and the rustling of leaves harmonizing
together to create a rich and immersive auditory
experience.
The illusion bends and ripples with the ever-changing
light, its boundaries softly dissolving into the
surrounding landscape, further blurring the line
between reality and deception. The sensation of the
illusory breeze brushing against the skin, or the faint
scent of blooming flowers, adds to the enchantment,
making Grand Illusion: Illusory Mirage an
unforgettable and breathtaking spectacle to behold.
Note: The Grand Illusion: Illusory Mirage spell is a
powerful tool in the hands of imaginative
spellcasters, but it requires skillful manipulation and
a touch of artistry to make the illusion feel truly alive.
As with all illusions, wary creatures may attempt an
Intelligence saving throw to see through the
deception, but even then, the allure and grandeur of
the spell can still captivate them for moments before
reality sets in.
Name: Enthralling Performance
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Target: All creatures within a 30-foot radius sphere
centered on the caster
446
Hexmaster
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a small,
intricately designed music box)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Enthralling Performance is a captivating spell that
allows the caster to unleash a mesmerizing and
otherworldly act, designed to enthrall and immobilize
an entire audience. As the spell is cast, the
spellcaster becomes the epicenter of the
performance, their presence emanating an aura of
ethereal beauty and enchantment.
When the spell is activated, all creatures within a 30-
foot radius sphere, centered on the caster, must
make a Wisdom saving throw to resist the
enchantment's allure. Those who fail the saving
throw become paralyzed, their bodies frozen in awe
and wonder. While paralyzed, they are also
susceptible to manipulation, and any attempts to
influence them, either through persuasion or
intimidation, have advantage.
During the performance, the spellcaster has the
option to use their bonus action on subsequent turns
to maintain the enchantment, continuing the
mesmerizing act for up to 1 minute. Additionally, the
caster can also use their action during this time to
focus the mesmerizing energy on a specific target
within the affected area. Doing so allows the caster
to impose disadvantage on the target's Wisdom
saving throw, increasing the likelihood of ensnaring
even the most stalwart of minds.
Casting:
To cast Enthralling Performance, the spellcaster
must possess a level of artistry that transcends mere
entertainment. They must have proficiency in a
Performance skill, and the act itself must be truly
mesmerizing, showcasing an extraordinary display of
grace, beauty, and charisma. The caster initiates the
spell by opening the small music box, which releases
a hauntingly enchanting melody that sets the stage
for their enthralling act.
To fully captivate the audience, the caster must
perform without interruption and without taking any
damage during the spell's duration. Any disruption to
the performance, such as being attacked or suffering
harm, will break the spell's effects on the affected
creatures.
Hexmaster
Flavor:
As Enthralling Performance is cast, the atmosphere
around the spellcaster seems to shift. An iridescent
aura envelops them, resembling the intermingling
colors of a breathtaking sunset. The music from the
open music box resonates with a harmonious blend
of enchanting notes, effortlessly captivating the
hearts and minds of all who hear it.
The caster's movements become an ethereal dance,
fluid and mesmerizing, accompanied by a soft glow
that emanates from their very being. Their eyes
sparkle with otherworldly allure, and their voice
carries a captivating lilt, drawing the audience closer
under the spell's irresistible charm.
Throughout the performance, the paralyzed audience
members appear as though they are in a trance, their
eyes fixated on the spellcaster, oblivious to the world
around them. The air seems to shimmer with a faint
magical glow, and even those who resist the spell
can't help but feel a momentary tingle of
enchantment upon their skin.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When casting Enthralling Performance using a spell
slot of 4th level or higher, the mesmerizing aura's
range increases by an additional 10 feet for every
level above 3rd. Additionally, the number of
creatures that can be affected by the spell within the
radius also increases by 1 for each level above 3rd.
Furthermore, at 5th level, the mesmerizing aura's
paralysis extends to not only the body but also the
mind, causing creatures affected by the spell to be
vulnerable to psychic damage during the duration.
The psychic damage inflicted on paralyzed creatures
is equal to the spellcaster's proficiency bonus.
At 6th level, the spell's enchanting performance
becomes even more potent, allowing the caster to
maintain concentration on the spell for up to 10
minutes. This extended duration provides ample time
for the caster to exert their influence over the
paralyzed audience, using their bonus action to
manipulate the thoughts and emotions of affected
creatures with advantage.
Embodying the essence of science fantasy, the
Enthralling Performance spell combines artistry,
magic, and enchantment, creating an unforgettable
experience that leaves its audience spellbound and
447
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
vulnerable to the caster's will. However, such power
must be wielded with caution, for the effects of such
a mesmerizing spell can have lasting consequences
on those who fall under its sway.
Name: Hall of Mirrors
School of Magic: Illusion
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Target: 20-foot radius sphere centered on a point
within range
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a small
shard of glass and a silver mirror)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: When you cast Hall of Mirrors, you
utter an ancient incantation, while simultaneously
weaving intricate gestures in the air with the silver
mirror and glass shard. As you complete the spell,
the mirrors' illusion materializes, and the designated
area is filled with an array of spectral mirrors, forming
an otherworldly labyrinth.
The mirrors create a confusing and disorienting
atmosphere for any creature within the area.
Whenever a creature starts its turn or enters the
spell's area for the first time on a turn, it must make a
Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature
becomes disoriented by the illusory reflections,
suffering from disadvantage on attack rolls and ability
checks until the start of its next turn. Creatures that
are naturally immune to being charmed are not
affected by the disorientation.
Additionally, any ranged attack made into or out of
the area of the Hall of Mirrors has a 50% chance to
miss, as the mesmerizing illusions make it difficult to
gauge distances and angles accurately.
Casting Hall of Mirrors at a higher level enhances its
effects. When cast using a spell slot of 4th level or
higher, the radius of the spell increases by 10 feet for
each level above 3rd.
Casting: The casting of Hall of Mirrors requires
precision in both the verbal incantation and somatic
gestures. The words spoken resonate with an almost
musical quality, imbued with echoes of the past and
glimpses of possible futures. The weaving of the
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
silver mirror and glass shard serves as a catalyst for
bending light and creating the reflective illusions. To
ensure the spell's success, the material components
must be of high quality and be infused with magic
during a ritual at dusk, a time when the boundaries
between day and night blur.
Flavor: When the Hall of Mirrors takes effect, the
designated area shimmers with an iridescent light as
countless mirrors, both large and small, appear out
of thin air. Each mirror reflects a slightly different
version of the surroundings, creating a surreal
kaleidoscope of images. Eerie whispers and distant
laughter echo through the illusion, making it all the
more unsettling for those within the area. As
creatures move through the labyrinth of mirrors, their
reflections seem to dance and twist, causing a sense
of disorientation and bewilderment. The mirrors
themselves have an ethereal quality, with their edges
shimmering and bending as if they were made of
liquid.
Outside observers might catch glimpses of their own
reflections in the mirrors, but these images are just
as fleeting and mysterious as the rest of the illusory
display. The hall of mirrors appears like a captivating
piece of art crafted by an otherworldly artist,
simultaneously entrancing and bewildering all who
behold it.
Name: Puppet Master
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a small
marionette crafted from wood and adorned with silver
strings)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Puppet Master is an enchantment spell that grants
you the ability to manipulate the target creature's
body as if it were your own. You must first succeed
on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save
DC to overcome the creature's mental resistance and
establish the connection. On a successful save, the
target is unaffected by the spell.
448
Hexmaster
If the target fails its saving throw, you establish a
psychic link with the creature's mind, and you can
control its movements and actions during your turn.
While under your control, the creature retains its
physical abilities, but its mind becomes a mere
observer, locked away during the spell's duration.
The creature's eyes may still perceive its
surroundings, but it has no agency over its body.
During each of your turns, you can command the
puppeted creature to take one action, either a move
or an attack. The creature's statistics and capabilities
remain unchanged, but it must follow your
instructions to the best of its ability. For example, you
could command the target to attack its allies, move
away from you, or perform complex tasks, like
disarming a trap.
However, the puppeted creature has a chance to
break free from your control each time it takes
damage or is subjected to a harmful effect. The
target can repeat its Wisdom saving throw at the end
of each of its turns, ending the spell on a successful
save. Additionally, if the target takes damage equal
to or greater than your spellcasting ability modifier, it
gains advantage on the saving throw to break free.
Casting:
To cast the Puppet Master spell, you must perform
intricate gestures, weaving your fingers through the
air, mimicking the motions of a puppeteer
manipulating strings. Your incantations must be soft
whispers that carry the magic through the air,
seeking to bind the target's mind. The material
component, the small marionette, acts as a focus for
the spell's power, channeling your influence over the
creature.
Flavor:
As you begin to cast Puppet Master, silvery threads
of magical energy emerge from your fingertips,
extending toward the target creature. These spectral
strings wrap around the target, entwining it in an
ephemeral web of control. The creature's eyes might
glaze over momentarily, and the silvery threads
become faintly visible, leading back to your hands as
you hold the wooden marionette focus. Throughout
the spell's duration, the strings twitch and sway in
response to your commands, making it seem like you
are guiding a puppet from afar.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When you cast Puppet Master using a spell slot of
Hexmaster
4th level or higher, the duration of the spell increases
by an additional minute for each slot level above 3rd.
Additionally, the range of the spell increases by 30
feet for each slot level above 3rd, allowing you to
control creatures from even greater distances.
Furthermore, the target creature has disadvantage
on its Wisdom saving throw to resist the spell's
effects when you cast it using a 5th-level slot or
higher.
With this potent spell at your disposal, you can play
the role of a master manipulator, pulling the strings of
fate and steering the course of battles in your favor.
But beware, for wielding such control over another
being's body is no simple feat, and your opponents
will not easily succumb to being mere puppets in
your hands.
Name: Whimsical Fate
School of Magic: Divination
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
In the cosmos of boundless possibilities, there exists
an ethereal web that intertwines every living being's
fate. The Whimsical Fate spell grants the caster the
rare power to peer into this intricate tapestry of
destiny and make gentle tugs upon its threads,
shaping the course of future events in their favor.
Upon casting this spell, the caster's eyes
momentarily glimmer with starlight as they connect
with the grand cosmic tapestry, and their voice takes
on a melodic tone resonating with the harmonies of
the universe.
When you cast Whimsical Fate, choose a willing
creature within range to bestow the whims of fate
upon. For the duration of the spell, the chosen
creature gains an uncanny advantage, allowing them
to roll two d20s for attack rolls, saving throws, or
ability checks and take the higher result. This
powerful blessing can turn the tide of battle, making
success more likely and the consequences of failure
less severe.
449
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
However, the manipulation of destiny is a delicate
art, and this spell comes with limitations. Whimsical
Fate can only affect one creature at a time, and the
caster must maintain concentration to sustain the
spell's effects. Additionally, it cannot be cast on
unwilling targets or those already under the influence
of a similar fate-altering effect.
Enhanced Effects:
When casting Whimsical Fate using a spell slot of
4th level or higher, the range of the spell increases
by 30 feet for each slot level above 3rd. Furthermore,
the spell's duration extends by an additional minute
for each higher level spell slot used. This allows the
chosen creature to bask in the favor of destiny for an
extended period, increasing their odds of success
and survival in the face of adversity.
Casting:
To unleash the magic of Whimsical Fate, the caster
must hold both hands above their head, fingers
entwined as they trace the shimmering patterns of
the celestial web. Their incantation blends eldritch
verses with a chorus of ethereal whispers, tapping
into the very essence of the multiverse. The spell
requires no material components, but its casting
must be done in a place of cosmic significance, such
as beneath a canopy of stars or within the shadow of
a celestial conjunction.
Flavor:
As the spell is cast, a kaleidoscope of shimmering,
luminescent strands akin to stardust encircles the
targeted creature, binding them with an ephemeral
halo of fortune. The air becomes charged with an
otherworldly harmony, like the mingling of distant
celestial notes, producing a captivating symphony
that echoes through the surroundings. Observers
might feel as though they are witnessing the bending
of fate itself, caught in a mesmerizing dance of
cosmic forces.
In the aftermath of the spell's casting, the celestial
strands gradually dissipate, leaving behind a sense
of cosmic serenity and a fleeting glimpse of the
higher order that governs the universe. Those
touched by Whimsical Fate might experience an
inexplicable sense of clarity, as if they have been
momentarily blessed by the very stars that weave the
fabric of existence.

Name: Captivating Charisma
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (30-foot radius)
Target: Creatures within range
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: Captivating Charisma is a spell that
taps into the essence of charm and allure,
channeling it through the caster's aura and voice.
Upon casting, you feel an overwhelming surge of
confidence and grace enveloping you, and your eyes
radiate with a subtle glow. This spell is particularly
useful for diplomats, leaders, or anyone seeking to
sway others to their cause.
Once activated, all creatures within a 30-foot radius
from you become entranced and captivated by your
presence. They find it difficult to resist your words
and actions, as your charisma becomes almost
mesmerizing. All affected creatures must make a
Wisdom saving throw to resist the spell's effects.
On a failed save, the creatures become charmed by
you, regarding you as a highly influential and
trustworthy figure. They hang on to your every word,
idolizing your actions, and are inclined to follow your
suggestions. However, this charm doesn't compel
them to perform actions they would typically find
morally objectionable.
During the spell's duration, you can engage in
conversation with the affected creatures, and they
will be more receptive to your arguments,
persuasion, and requests. This increased charm can
also aid in social interactions, negotiations, or
attempts to gather information. However, if you or
your allies take hostile actions against the charmed
creatures, they are granted another Wisdom saving
throw to end the charm prematurely.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When cast using a 4th-level spell slot or higher, the
radius of the spell's effect increases by 10 feet for
each slot level above 3rd. Additionally, the saving
throw DC is increased by +1 for every slot level
above 3rd.
450
Hexmaster
Casting: To cast Captivating Charisma, the caster
must perform fluid, graceful gestures while uttering
charming incantations in a melodious tone. The
caster must also possess a certain level of self-
assurance and confidence to tap into the true
potential of this spell.
Flavor: As you weave the magic of Captivating
Charisma, your aura takes on a radiant shimmer, as
if you are enveloped in an ethereal, sparkling mist.
Your voice becomes magnetic, resonating with a
captivating allure that echoes melodically throughout
the surrounding area. As you speak, it's as if the very
air bends to your will, carrying your charm to every
corner of the room. The enchanted creatures' eyes
glimmer with fascination and admiration, fixated on
your every move, as if they were witnessing the most
incredible spectacle ever to grace their senses.
Name: Whirlwind Waltz
School of Magic: Evocation
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (15-foot radius)
Target: All creatures within range
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Strength saving throw
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
When you begin to cast the Whirlwind Waltz, you
gracefully twirl and sway, channeling arcane
energies through your movements. As you dance, a
brilliant luminescent aura forms around you, growing
into a swirling vortex of vibrant colors and captivating
patterns. The energy of the vortex extends up to 15
feet from you, affecting all creatures within its range.
Creatures caught in the Whirlwind Waltz must make
a Strength saving throw or be pulled off balance and
restrained for the duration of the spell. While
restrained, their movement speed becomes 0, and
they cannot benefit from any bonuses to their
movement. Moreover, their attacks and actions are
made at disadvantage, and they have disadvantage
on Dexterity saving throws.
At Higher Levels:
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level
Hexmaster
or higher, the power of the Whirlwind Waltz
intensifies. The radius of the vortex increases by 5
feet for each spell slot level above 3rd, and the
duration of the restraint effect extends by an
additional round for every two levels higher than 3rd.
Furthermore, the Strength saving throw DC
increases by 1 for each level above 3rd.
Casting:
To cast the Whirlwind Waltz, you must stand on a
stable surface, as any interruption in your dance or
footing can disrupt the spell's magical flow. The
verbal component consists of a melodious
incantation, sung in a lilting, enchanting tone,
accompanied by the rhythm of your graceful
movements. The somatic component involves
precise and fluid motions, mirroring the elegance of a
waltz. While the components may seem simple, the
synchronization of gestures, incantations, and dance
requires a level of magical finesse and concentration.
Flavor:
As you start the Whirlwind Waltz, the air around you
shimmers with arcane brilliance. The dancing lights
playfully flicker in hues of sapphire, emerald, and
amethyst, coalescing into a mesmerizing display of
enchanting energy. Each swirl of the vortex
resembles an ethereal ribbon, gracefully flowing
through the air in harmony with your every step. A
soft, haunting melody accompanies the dance,
seemingly coming from nowhere, adding an
otherworldly charm to the spectacle.
The restrained creatures, caught in the whirlwind's
embrace, struggle in vain to maintain their balance,
their movements becoming sluggish and
uncoordinated. Some may even appear to be
dancing involuntarily as they resist the mystical
compulsion to waltz alongside you. The surrounding
allies are inspired by the display, feeling a surge of
courage and determination in their hearts, making
them more resolute in battle. The enchanting
spectacle of the Whirlwind Waltz leaves a lasting
impression on all who witness its captivating grace
and power.
Name: Illusory Menagerie
School of Magic: Illusion
Level: 4
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (30-foot radius)
451
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: Upon casting Illusory Menagerie, the
air around you shimmers with arcane energy, and an
awe-inspiring menagerie of illusory creatures
manifests. These fantastical beings swirl and dance
around you, creating a captivating and bewildering
spectacle that entrances all who behold it. The
Illusory Menagerie distracts and confounds your
foes, making it difficult for them to focus on their
attacks and lowering their chances of hitting you.
The spell's illusory creatures impose disadvantage
on any attack rolls made against you from creatures
that can see the menagerie. Additionally, any
creature starting its turn within the 30-foot radius of
the Illusory Menagerie must make a Wisdom saving
throw or become charmed by the enchanting display
for the duration of the spell. A charmed creature is
incapacitated and oblivious to its surroundings while
it gazes in wonder at the illusory creatures.
While the Illusory Menagerie is an illusion, it has a
tangible presence in the minds of those who
experience it. Creatures affected by the charm
cannot perceive the real world while under its
influence. However, if the charmed creature takes
any damage, it can repeat the Wisdom saving throw
at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a
successful save.
The Illusory Menagerie does not cause direct
damage to creatures; its power lies in its ability to
disorient and distract foes. This spell is particularly
useful when surrounded by multiple enemies or
facing a formidable adversary.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When casting Illusory Menagerie using a spell slot of
5th level or higher, the Illusory Menagerie gains an
additional tier of illusionary complexity. The
menagerie can now mimic real creatures' sounds,
such as fierce roars or haunting cries, adding to its
captivating nature. The radius of the menagerie also
expands by 10 feet for every spell slot level above
4th. The spell's duration increases by 1 minute for
each higher-level spell slot used.
Casting: To cast Illusory Menagerie, the caster must
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
perform a graceful dance, weaving intricate gestures
that resemble the movements of the illusory
creatures. The verbal component consists of reciting
an ancient incantation in a melodious, hypnotic tone.
Additionally, the caster must sprinkle a pinch of
powdered gemstones, representing the diverse
magical essence of the fantastical creatures they aim
to summon.
Flavor: When Illusory Menagerie is cast, a vibrant
display of prismatic lights emanates from the caster,
forming a phantasmagorical vortex of colors. As the
spell takes effect, the swirling lights take on the
shapes of the chosen illusory creatures. Each
creature moves with an otherworldly grace, leaving
behind shimmering trails as they traverse the area.
The illusions' sounds resonate with unearthly beauty,
echoing through the surroundings like an enchanting
symphony.
The Illusory Menagerie's allure is such that even
seasoned adventurers might find themselves
momentarily entranced, briefly forgetting their dire
circumstances as they become lost in the wonders of
the spell. Only the most stalwart and experienced
warriors can resist the hypnotic pull of this spell,
making it a powerful asset in any battle where
deception and diversion are key to victory.
Name: Enigma's Embrace
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 4
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Enigma's Embrace is a spell of profound mystery and
arcane subtlety. When cast, the caster invokes the
forgotten verses of an ancient incantation, which
resonate with the energies of the ethereal realm.
This allows the spellcaster to momentarily shift their
physical form into an intangible state, akin to that of a
ghost or spirit. During this state, the caster becomes
ethereal and can effortlessly pass through walls,
objects, and even living creatures as if they were
452
Hexmaster
insubstantial mist.
While in this intangible state, the caster's physical
body becomes translucent and takes on a
shimmering, otherworldly appearance. The spell also
grants the caster limited visibility into the ethereal
plane, allowing them to perceive ghostly shapes and
echoes of beings existing in both realms. However,
they remain primarily anchored in the material world.
The caster gains several unique abilities while under
the effects of Enigma's Embrace:
Phantasmal Passage: The caster can move through
solid objects and obstacles as though they were
made of air. Walls, doors, and barriers pose no
hindrance, and the caster can even pass through
creatures, though they cannot willingly end their
movement inside a solid object.
Spectral Sight: While ethereal, the caster gains
darkvision up to 60 feet, allowing them to see into
both the material and ethereal planes.
Ephemeral Touch: As a bonus action, the caster can
attempt to pass their hand or a small object they are
holding into the ethereal plane, allowing them to
interact with ethereal entities or manipulate certain
ethereal objects. However, they cannot affect the
material world directly in this state.
Limitations and Special Rules:
The caster cannot attack or deal damage while
ethereal, as their form lacks the solidity required to
harm others in this state.
While ethereal, the caster cannot speak or make any
vocal sounds, limiting their ability to cast spells with
verbal components.
The caster's movement speed is halved while
ethereal.
If the spell's concentration is broken, the caster is
immediately returned to their normal physical state.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When casting Enigma's Embrace using a spell slot of
5th level or higher, the duration of the spell is
extended by 1 minute for each level above 4th.
Casting:
To cast Enigma's Embrace, the spellcaster must
stand in a location of ambient mystery, such as
within a dense fog, under the light of a full moon, or
surrounded by ancient ruins resonating with the
Hexmaster
whispers of history. The somatic component of the
spell involves weaving intricate patterns in the air,
drawing invisible symbols that tie the material and
ethereal realms together. A hushed incantation in a
forgotten language must be spoken with absolute
focus and precision, lest the spell's power wanes.
Flavor:
As the caster initiates the spell, an iridescent aura
envelops their body, shimmering with spectral hues
that blend seamlessly into the surroundings. Their
eyes become pools of deep, ethereal light, and the
world around them seems to fade slightly, becoming
muted and dreamlike. The sound of distant, haunting
whispers echoes in the air as the caster passes
through walls and barriers, their form wavering like a
mirage.
Enigma's Embrace is a spell coveted by adventurers
and scholars alike, a tantalizing key to unlocking
secrets hidden in realms beyond mortal
understanding. Legends speak of ancient enigmatic
spirits that imparted this arcane knowledge to those
they deemed worthy, forever binding the caster's fate
with the mysteries of the universe. Only those willing
to embrace the unknown can hope to harness the full
potential of this powerful transmutation spell.
Name: Puppeteer's Strings
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: 4
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a small,
intricately carved marionette made of rare wood)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Puppeteer's Strings is a spell that grants the caster
the uncanny ability to manipulate the movements
and actions of a single targeted creature, as if they
were a marionette being controlled by an unseen
puppeteer. When you cast this spell, you must use
the small marionette as a focus, channeling your
magical energies through it to establish a psychic link
with the target.
The target creature must make a Wisdom saving
453
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
throw to resist the enchantment. If they fail the
saving throw, their body visibly stiffens, and their
eyes take on a glazed, vacant look, betraying their
lack of control. You, the caster, become the puppet
master, having the power to dictate their movements
and actions during the spell's duration. It's as if
you're moving a life-sized puppet with your thoughts.
While the target is under your control, you can use
your action on each of your turns to dictate the
creature's movements, granting them up to the
creature's maximum movement speed. Additionally,
you can force the target to take an action or use a
bonus action in accordance with your commands, as
long as the action doesn't deal damage to the target
itself. For instance, you could force the puppet to
open a door, pick up an object, or even perform a
simple dance routine.
The target remains aware of its surroundings but
cannot take any actions on its own, nor can it resist
your commands during the spell's duration. If the
target is engaged in combat, you have full control
over its attacks, movements, and tactical decisions.
Casting at Higher Levels:
When you cast Puppeteer's Strings using a spell slot
of 5th level or higher, you can target one additional
creature for each level above 4th. However, each
target must be controlled individually, and you must
maintain concentration on each one separately.
Casting:
To cast Puppeteer's Strings, you must stand firmly
on the ground and move your hands in a delicate,
dance-like motion as you manipulate the marionette.
As you incant the spell's verbal component, the
carved puppet emits soft, haunting music,
reminiscent of a forlorn melody that echoes in the
vicinity. This music weaves through the air and
enters the target's mind, enhancing the
enchantment's effect.
Flavor:
Upon casting Puppeteer's Strings, a faint,
shimmering aura surrounds the target creature,
resembling invisible strings attaching to their limbs.
As you control the creature, these strings become
more pronounced, glowing with ethereal energy that
pulsates in sync with your commands. Observers
might feel a sense of unease, as if witnessing the
intrusion of another's free will.
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
The marionette used as the spell's focus floats gently
in the air, swaying gracefully with your movements.
The haunting melody emanating from it fills the
surroundings with an eerie ambiance, making it feel
like a dark theater production unfolding in reality.

must gather a myriad of rare and costly ingredients,
including an exotic diamond worth at least 300 gold
pieces, symbolizing the opulence that will be
conjured forth. As the components are presented
before the caster, they must weave intricate hand
gestures while uttering a mesmerizing incantation
that draws upon both illusion and conjuration magic.
Upon the successful completion of the casting, a
portal to an illusory banquet hall appears at the
target location, creating a 30-foot radius area. The
banquet hall manifests with detailed elegance, and
the illusory feast materializes, boasting a vast array
of mouthwatering delicacies from various realms and
cultures, catering to the preferences and desires of
those who will partake.
Mechanical Effects:
Temporary Hit Points: Each creature partaking in the
banquet gains temporary hit points equal to 2d8 +
the spellcaster's spellcasting ability modifier
(Charisma, Intelligence, or Wisdom) to represent the
nourishing and invigorating nature of the illusory
food.
Removal of Exhaustion: Any creature who has been
suffering from exhaustion will have all levels of
exhaustion removed upon indulging in the banquet,
as the revitalizing illusion washes away their
454
Hexmaster
weariness.
Advantage Against Charm: Those who consume the
illusory food gain advantage on saving throws
against charm effects, their minds fortified against
manipulative enchantments.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When cast using a spell slot of 5th level or higher,
the Illusory Banquet's effects are amplified:
Temporary Hit Points: The number of temporary hit
points increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 4th.
Additional Conditions Removed: For each slot level
above 4th, the banquet can remove one additional
negative condition from each participant, such as
petrification, fear, or blindness.
Casting:
The casting of Illusory Banquet is a ritualistic affair,
requiring the caster to don ceremonial robes adorned
with arcane symbols. The conjuration of the banquet
demands precision in the somatic gestures, akin to
conducting an invisible orchestra that shapes the
illusion into a vivid reality. As the spell reaches its
crescendo, the magical energy infused into the
diamond materializes as an ethereal effervescence,
enshrouding the entire area before solidifying into the
illusion.
Flavor:
As the Illusory Banquet takes form, the air becomes
infused with the aroma of delectable dishes from
various lands and cultures, creating an intoxicating
ambiance that transcends reality. The illusory music
fills the surroundings with enchanting melodies,
drawing all creatures within earshot to the feast,
whether out of curiosity or uncontrollable desire. The
holographic images of dancers, musicians, and
mythical creatures dance among the guests,
enhancing the illusion of a grand and everlasting
celebration. As each dish is savored, it releases a
burst of flavors, textures, and sensations, making it
nearly impossible to distinguish the illusory feast
from reality.
The Illusory Banquet is not only a spell of practical
utility but a work of art, a testament to the mage's
prowess in combining magic and creativity to craft an
experience that will linger in the memories of those
who had the fortune to partake in its allure.
Song of Illusion:
School of Magic: Illusion
Hexmaster
Level: 4th level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (30-foot radius)
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Musical (a musical
instrument or the caster's voice)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Song of Illusion is a spell that taps into the ethereal
harmonies of the cosmos, channeling them through
the caster's voice or an enchanted musical
instrument. As the spell is cast, a haunting melody
emerges, echoing through the surroundings and
weaving a captivating symphony of illusions within a
30-foot radius centered on the caster. The illusions
created by the song are so convincing that they blur
the line between reality and fantasy, making it
challenging for enemies to discern what is genuine
and what is mere illusion.
While the Song of Illusion is active, the caster gains
an advantage on all saving throws, as the enchanting
sounds fortify their spirit and bolster their mental
resilience. The illusions manifest in various forms,
mimicking terrain, creatures, or even entirely
imaginary structures. These illusions can obscure the
battlefield, granting the caster and their allies tactical
advantages, while confounding and confusing foes.
Within the enchanted area, the illusions possess no
physical substance, and any attempts to interact with
them reveal their illusory nature. However, the
illusions can be used creatively to mislead enemies,
granting momentary cover or hindering their
movements.
Casting:
To invoke the Song of Illusion, the spellcaster must
possess a deep understanding of the arcane arts
and the power to manipulate the forces of illusion.
The casting requires not only precise verbal
incantations but also skillful and emotive musical
performance if an instrument is used. The emotional
intensity poured into the melody affects the potency
and complexity of the illusions created.
Flavor:
As the caster begins to weave the Song of Illusion, a
soft luminescent aura envelops them, emanating a
surreal glow that shifts between mesmerizing shades
455
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
of blue and purple. A haunting melody escapes their
lips or resonates from the musical instrument, carried
by an otherworldly echo that fills the air. With each
note, the illusions slowly materialize, taking on the
form of ethereal and shimmering apparitions that
dance and play within the radius of the spell.
The illusions reflect the caster's emotional state and
intentions, adopting the emotions conveyed through
the song. If the caster is calm and serene, the
illusions might appear as soothing and tranquil
scenes. In contrast, intense emotions may manifest
as awe-inspiring spectacles, invoking a sense of fear
or wonder in those who behold them.
The Song of Illusion is a captivating display of both
power and artistry, a testament to the potential of
magic in the hands of a skilled bard or mage. The
mesmerizing performance leaves a lasting
impression on all those who witness its enchanting
display. Legends speak of ancient bards whose
mastery of this spell could create illusions so realistic
that they could shape the outcome of battles and
inspire generations with their magical symphonies.
Name: Mirage of Madness
School of Magic: Illusion
Level: 5
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Target: 40-foot radius sphere centered on a point
within range
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a small,
twisted mirror)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Mirage of Madness is a spell of potent illusionary
magic that weaves a twisted and nightmarish realm
into the fabric of reality. When cast, the spell creates
a focal point within range, usually chosen by the
caster to encompass the largest number of targets.
The point ripples with eerie energy, and from it, a
nightmarish 40-foot radius sphere of illusionary
madness emanates, encompassing the area in a
chaotic and disorienting veil.
Creatures within the sphere, upon entering it or
starting their turn inside, must make a Wisdom
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
saving throw or be subjected to the illusion's effects.
Those who fail are overwhelmed by phantasmal
horrors, causing them to become disoriented and act
erratically. For the duration of the spell, affected
creatures roll a d4 at the beginning of their turn to
determine their actions:
Attack Random Targets: The creature must use its
action to make a melee or ranged attack against a
randomly determined target within its reach, even if
the target is an ally. If no targets are within reach, the
creature attacks itself.
Disorient and Stumble: The creature's movement
becomes hindered, and it must use its action to Dash
in a random direction. It also takes 1d6 psychic
damage for each 10 feet moved in this way.
Harm Themselves: The creature must use its action
to harm itself physically, taking 2d6 psychic damage
as it struggles against the illusions tormenting its
mind.
Shake off Illusion: The creature manages to shake
off the madness this turn and can act normally.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When casting Mirage of Madness using a spell slot
of 6th level or higher, the radius of the illusory realm
increases by 10 feet for each level above 5th.
Additionally, the psychic damage from the "Harm
Themselves" effect increases by 1d6 for each level
above 5th.
Casting:
To cast Mirage of Madness, the caster must first hold
the small, twisted mirror as a focal point for the spell.
The mirror is consumed during casting. With a series
of complex and fluid gestures accompanied by an
incantation in an ancient and forgotten language, the
caster weaves the magical threads of illusion into
reality, allowing the nightmarish realm to manifest.
Flavor:
Upon casting, the air around the focal point begins to
shimmer and distort. The area within the sphere is
filled with unsettling whispers and indistinct shadows
that seem to dance at the corner of one's vision.
Colors blend into one another in surreal ways, and
the air takes on a thick, dreamlike quality. To anyone
observing from outside the sphere, it appears as if
the world within has gone completely mad, with
creatures stumbling, lashing out at imaginary foes,
456
Hexmaster
and exhibiting bizarre behavior.
The illusion itself morphs constantly, transforming the
environment into ever-changing landscapes of
horror, fear, and chaos. The ground may turn into
writhing snakes, the skies into swirling voids, and the
very air itself into a cacophony of haunting wails and
maniacal laughter. The spell's effects take on a life of
their own, tailored to each individual within the
sphere, preying on their innermost fears and darkest
memories. This constant barrage of hallucinations
and phantasms pushes the minds of affected
creatures to their limits, leaving them vulnerable to
the whims of the Mirage of Madness.
Name: Prankster's Sanctuary
School of Magic: Illusion
Level: 5
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (30-foot radius)
Target: Self and allies within range
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a small
silver bell and a feather from a prankster's favorite
bird)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Prankster's Sanctuary is a spell of whimsy and
trickery that draws upon the potent energies of
illusion. When you cast this spell, you begin with a
flourish, ringing the small silver bell and making
extravagant hand gestures as you chant a playful
incantation that only mischievous spirits can
comprehend.
Upon completing the casting, an ethereal,
translucent dome envelops you and all willing allies
within a 30-foot radius. The sanctuary is like stepping
into a realm of trickster dreams, where every step
produces a faint shimmer, and the air is filled with
giggles and faint laughter.
While inside the Prankster's Sanctuary, you and your
allies gain temporary invulnerability against all forms
of attacks and spells. This means that for the
duration of the spell, you and your companions
cannot be harmed by any means. Blades will pass
Hexmaster
through as if striking air, and fireballs will fizzle out
before touching anyone protected within.
However, there are limits to the sanctuary's
protection. As much as it is playful, it does not allow
any offensive actions from within its bounds. Any
attempts to harm or cause distress to others from
inside the sanctuary will cause the spell to
immediately dissipate, leaving those protected
vulnerable once again.
Enhanced Effects:
When you cast Prankster's Sanctuary using a 7th
level or higher spell slot, the radius of the sanctuary
increases by an additional 10 feet for each level
above 5th. This enhancement allows you to protect
more allies within the mischievous confines of the
magical dome.
Casting:
Prankster's Sanctuary requires a touch of the
whimsical spirit within oneself to be effective. The
caster must perform the somatic gestures with
exuberance and confidence while speaking the
incantation with a cheerful and playful tone.
Additionally, the feather from a prankster's favorite
bird must be held aloft and then dropped to the
ground as the casting is completed.
Flavor:
As the caster utters the spell's name, the area
around them becomes suffused with a vibrant and
shifting array of colors, as if a rainbow had
descended upon the land. The dome takes on the
appearance of a gigantic, translucent soap bubble,
reflecting an array of dazzling hues. The sounds of
laughter and merry whispers emanate from within,
evoking a sense of glee and mischief.
At the end of the casting, the sanctuary feels like a
land of endless merriment and lightheartedness,
where the burdens of the world are momentarily set
aside, and the spirits of all who stand within feel as
light as a feather.
Name: Master Manipulator
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: 5
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
457
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a small
silver puppet figurine)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
The Master Manipulator spell is a potent
enchantment that grants the caster unparalleled
control over the target creature's mind. When casting
this spell, the mage must weave intricate gestures
and utter incantations in a melodious tone that
resonates like the strings of a mystical harp.
Additionally, they must hold aloft the small silver
puppet figurine, which acts as a focal point for
channeling their will into the puppetry of the target's
mind.
Once the spell is cast, the target creature must
succeed on a Wisdom saving throw to resist its
effects. On a failed save, the caster gains absolute
dominion over the target's thoughts and actions for
the duration of the spell. The victim becomes a mere
puppet, manipulated effortlessly by the caster's will.
The target's eyes may glaze over, signifying their
loss of control as the magical strings of the
puppeteer bind them.
The caster can command the ensnared creature to
take specific actions, even against its nature, making
it fight on their behalf, perform intricate tasks, or
reveal secrets it would never divulge willingly. The
target retains its abilities, including spellcasting if it
has any, but the caster gains complete control over
how and when they are used.
However, this spell is not without its limitations. It
requires a delicate balance of power, and the caster
must maintain concentration to exert their
dominance. Should the caster lose focus or be
interrupted, the creature may break free from their
control. Additionally, creatures with exceptional
willpower or mental fortitude might have advantage
on their saving throw, making them harder to
manipulate.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When casting Master Manipulator using a spell slot
of 6th level or higher, the caster's control becomes
even more potent and unyielding. The duration of the
spell extends to 10 minutes when cast as a 6th-level
spell, 1 hour when cast as a 7th-level spell, and 8
hours when cast as an 8th or 9th-level spell.
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
Furthermore, the caster can target an additional
creature for each spell slot level above 5th.
Casting:
To cast the Master Manipulator spell, the mage must
be in a position of clear view of the target, as the
puppet figurine must be pointed directly at the
creature during the incantation. Additionally, the
puppet figurine is not consumed by the spell, but it
must be an intricately crafted silver figurine worth at
least 500 gold pieces to function as the material
component. The cost of such a figurine reflects the
fine craftsmanship required to ensure the connection
between the puppeteer and the target remains
strong.
Flavor:
As the Master Manipulator spell takes effect,
shimmering strands of iridescent light manifest in the
air, resembling intricate marionette strings that
extend from the caster's fingertips towards the target.
These luminous threads dance and twirl, forming an
ephemeral web that envelops the victim, binding
them in a mesmerizing display of magical mastery.
The sound of an ethereal symphony fills the
surroundings, playing an otherworldly tune that
seems to resonate with the target's very soul. It is as
if the universe itself acknowledges the dominance of
the caster, and the stars above twinkle with approval
as the spell takes hold.
Name: Illusory Cataclysm
School of Magic: Illusion
Level: 5th
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Target: 30-foot radius sphere centered on a point
within range
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a tiny glass
replica of a crumbling tower)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Upon casting Illusory Cataclysm, the spellcaster
conjures a miniature glass replica of a once-grand
tower in their hand, whispering ancient words of
power while making intricate gestures. The replica
shimmers with magical energy as the spell is
invoked. The caster then hurls the replica toward a
point within range, and upon impact, the tower
458
Hexmaster
shatters with a burst of dazzling light.
As the glass fragments disperse, they transform into
a potent illusion that mimics the catastrophic collapse
of a monumental structure. An illusory shockwave
ripples out from the point of impact, enveloping all
creatures within a 30-foot radius sphere. Each
creature caught within the illusion must make a
Wisdom saving throw or become fully immersed in
the false cataclysm.
Those who fail the saving throw are subjected to a
series of horrifying illusions that seem all too real.
They experience the ground tremble beneath their
feet, massive chunks of debris hurtling towards them,
and the sensation of being trapped amidst a
crumbling edifice. The psychological distress inflicted
upon the targets is immense, causing them to
become frightened and impose disadvantage on all
attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws.
Additionally, the affected creatures take psychic
damage equal to 2d10 + the caster's spellcasting
ability modifier (e.g., Intelligence, Charisma) at the
start of each of their turns while they are within the
illusory radius.
Casting at Higher Levels:
When cast using a spell slot of 6th level or higher,
the psychic damage inflicted by the Illusory
Cataclysm increases by 1d10 for each slot level
above 5th.
Casting:
The casting of Illusory Cataclysm is an intricate
process that requires the caster to tap into the
essence of illusionary magic and the scientific
principles of sensory manipulation. The verbal
component involves reciting an ancient incantation in
a commanding voice, invoking the grandeur of
collapsing towers and the raw force of the cataclysm.
The somatic component is an elaborate sequence of
gestures, weaving patterns in the air that represent
the cascade of destruction. The caster must maintain
their concentration throughout the spell's duration to
sustain the illusion effectively.
Flavor:
As Illusory Cataclysm is cast, the atmosphere seems
to warp and distort, as if the very fabric of reality is
quivering in anticipation. The tiny glass replica,
representing the doomed tower, glows with an
Hexmaster
otherworldly luminescence, radiating shades of blue
and purple.
Upon release, the replica hurtles towards the chosen
point in a brilliant arc, leaving a trail of iridescent
sparkles in its wake. As it shatters upon impact, the
illusory shockwave materializes, engulfing the area in
an ever-expanding spectacle of destruction.
Creatures caught within the illusion perceive a
terrifying vision: buildings collapsing, dust and debris
clouding the air, and a sense of overwhelming dread.
The sounds of crashing stone and rumbling earth
reverberate through the minds of the affected beings,
enhancing the realism of the illusion.
The Illusory Cataclysm is a spell both feared and
respected, for its potency lies not in tangible
destruction but in the psychological torment it inflicts,
leaving its victims shaken and disoriented, their
resolve crumbling like the illusion they witnessed.
Name: Fickle Fortune
School of Magic: Divination
Level: 5th level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a small
silver hourglass worth at least 100 gold pieces, which
the spell consumes)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Description:
The Fickle Fortune spell is an ancient and elusive
enchantment that harnesses the very essence of
destiny. It allows the caster to weave their influence
into the fabric of fate, enabling them or a chosen ally
to reroll any roll they make and opt for the more
favorable result. This spell's potency is especially
valued among seasoned adventurers, as it can
significantly alter the outcome of crucial moments
and turn the tide of battle in their favor.
Casting Fickle Fortune requires the spellcaster to
deftly manipulate the delicate silver hourglass, its tiny
grains of sand shimmering like stars. As the verbal
incantation is spoken, the caster's voice takes on an
otherworldly timbre, resonating with echoes of past
and future. The somatic component involves intricate
gestures, tracing intricate patterns in the air,
459
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
symbolizing the interwoven threads of destiny.
Once the spell is cast, a shimmering aura of
intertwined golden and silver threads surrounds the
target creature, signifying the spell's effect. During
the spell's duration, whenever the target makes an
attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, they gain
the ability to instantly reroll the result. They can then
decide to keep the original roll or choose the new
one, whichever is more advantageous.
However, this potent manipulation of fate is not
without its limitations. The Fickle Fortune spell can
only be cast on one creature at a time, and the
caster must maintain concentration to sustain its
effects. Furthermore, the spell cannot be used again
on the same target until the duration expires or the
caster's concentration is broken. The intricate nature
of the spell also means it can't be cast in haste,
requiring precise execution and unwavering focus.
Enhanced Effects:
When cast using a spell slot of 6th level or higher,
the potency of Fickle Fortune increases. The spell
can now be cast on an additional creature for each
level above 5th. Additionally, the duration extends by
1 minute for each level above 5th, allowing the
fortunate recipients to benefit from the spell's favor
for longer periods.
Flavor:
When the spell is activated, time seems to slow
momentarily, and the area around the target appears
to shimmer with an ethereal glow. The golden and
silver threads of destiny swirl and dance around the
affected creature, leaving behind a fleeting glimpse
of a mysterious pattern unique to them.
The sound that accompanies the casting is
reminiscent of delicate chimes, like a celestial
orchestra playing amidst a cosmic dance. As the
spell takes effect, the chimes crescendo into a brief,
harmonious symphony that resonates with the
essence of fortune.
Though ephemeral, the enchanting display of Fickle
Fortune leaves those who witness it with a sense of
wonder and awe, as if they have momentarily
glimpsed the inner workings of the universe's grand
tapestry. It serves as a reminder that even in the face
of uncertainty, the threads of fate can be nudged,
and destiny can be swayed.
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
Name: Illusory Army
School of Magic: Illusion
Level: 6th level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Target: 60-foot radius sphere
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a miniature
silver knight figurine worth 500 gold pieces, which is
consumed by the spell)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
The Illusory Army spell is a powerful and complex
illusion that taps into the primal fears and instincts of
its targets, creating a grand illusion of a massive,
imposing army. When cast, the wizard must use the
miniature silver knight figurine as a focus for the
spell, channeling their magical energy through it to
create the illusion. The casting process requires a
steady, rhythmic chant in an ancient language,
combined with intricate hand gestures that mimic the
martial formations of a vast army.
Upon completion of the casting, a 60-foot radius
sphere centered on a point within range becomes the
epicenter of the illusion. The illusionary army then
materializes, appearing to consist of thousands of
soldiers, archers, cavalry, and siege engines, clad in
majestic armor, wielding gleaming weapons, and
banners unfurled with intimidating insignias.
The illusion is so convincing that anyone who fails
their Wisdom saving throw becomes utterly
convinced of the army's reality. The targets perceive
the illusory army as an overwhelming, menacing
force that is determined to conquer them. They will
instinctively respond as if they are facing a real
threat, panicking, and even attempting to flee or
surrender.
The illusory army is incredibly flexible and
responsive, seemingly taking on any orders the
caster mentally conveys during the spell's duration.
For example, the wizard could make the illusionary
army advance, charge, flank, or even retreat
strategically. These illusions are so convincing that
they can even produce sounds of war, such as war
cries, trumpet blasts, and the clanging of weapons,
further enhancing the realism of the illusion.
460
Hexmaster
Enhanced Effects:
When cast using a spell slot of 7th level or higher,
the illusion becomes even more elaborate and
detailed, incorporating more soldiers, war machines,
and increasing the illusory army's size by an
additional 30 feet in radius for every slot level above
6th. Additionally, the illusions become more resistant
to dispelling and attempts to discern their falsehood.
Casting:
To cast the Illusory Army spell successfully, the
wizard must find a location suitable for the grand
illusion. Ideally, an open battlefield or an expansive
plain allows the illusion to be more convincing, as it
can simulate large-scale tactical maneuvers
effectively. Casting the spell in confined spaces or
within the walls of buildings may limit the illusion's full
potential.
The verbal component of the spell involves an
ancient war chant, words spoken with power and
authority to imbue the illusion with a sense of
strength and aggression. The somatic component
includes intricate movements that mimic the
coordination of a general marshaling their troops. As
a final requirement, the miniature silver knight
figurine must be consumed during the casting, as its
enchantments fuel the spell's manifestation.
Flavor:
Upon casting the Illusory Army spell, a low, ominous
hum fills the air, resonating from the caster's position
and spreading out to the designated area. An
ethereal, golden light emanates from the silver knight
figurine, encompassing the sphere where the
illusionary army takes form. As the illusion unfolds,
the area seems to distort with a shimmering, mirage-
like effect, as if the very fabric of reality were warping
to accommodate the vast phantom force.
The illusory soldiers and war machines emerge
slowly, their images wavering at first but quickly
stabilizing into a formidable spectacle of martial
prowess. The illusionary army marches in perfect
synchronization, their footsteps and battle cries
reverberating throughout the battlefield, striking terror
into the hearts of any who witness the spectacle.
As the caster manipulates the illusionary army's
movements, their hand gestures mirror the
formations and tactics they wish to convey. The
illusion's phantasmal banners flutter in unseen winds,
displaying symbols that resonate with both ancient
Hexmaster
history and mystical power. The overall effect is awe-
inspiring and overwhelming, a testament to the
incredible mastery of illusion magic wielded by the
caster.
Name: Captivating Enchantment
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: 6
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Target: All creatures within a 30-foot radius sphere
centered on a point you choose within range.
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a crystal
vial filled with a few drops of a rare and exotic
perfume worth at least 200 gold pieces)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Captivating Enchantment is a spell that harnesses
the allure of enchantment magic, allowing the caster
to weave a mesmerizing performance that entrances
all who behold it. When you cast this spell, you must
take center stage, whether it be through dance,
music, or an awe-inspiring oration. As you begin your
performance, a subtle aura of enchanting energy
radiates from you, imbuing the air with an intoxicating
and otherworldly essence.
Creatures within the spell's area of effect must make
a Wisdom saving throw to resist the captivating
allure. The DC for this saving throw is determined by
your spellcasting ability. Those who fail their save
become completely enthralled by your performance
and are charmed for the spell's duration.
While charmed, affected creatures regard you as the
most fascinating and appealing entity they have ever
encountered. They hang onto your every word and
movement, completely wrapped up in your
performance, and are willing to do almost anything
you suggest during the spell's duration. However,
their actions cannot go against their nature or cause
them direct harm.
Creatures under the spell's effect are granted
additional saving throws if you or any of your allies
take hostile actions against them. If they succeed on
the saving throw, they break free from the
enchantment. Additionally, any damage inflicted by
461
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
you or your allies to the charmed creatures
automatically ends the spell's effect for those
affected.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When cast using a spell slot of 7th level or higher,
the captivating enchantment becomes even more
potent. The range of the spell increases by 30 feet
for every level above 6th. Furthermore, the
mesmerizing effects on the charmed creatures
become even stronger, and they gain disadvantage
on their saving throws against your suggestions.
Casting:
To cast the Captivating Enchantment, the caster
must perform an intricate and mesmerizing display,
involving fluid gestures, intricate dance moves, and
melodic incantations. The crystal vial filled with the
rare perfume is held aloft during the performance,
and as the spell reaches its climax, the vial shatters,
releasing the enchanting aroma that infuses the air
with magical allure.
Flavor:
As Captivating Enchantment takes effect, the area
around the caster transforms into a scene of
enchanting beauty. Ethereal lights dance through the
air like elusive fireflies, casting a soft, multicolored
glow. The sounds of enchanting melodies fill the
atmosphere, reaching the ears of those nearby with
an otherworldly resonance. The caster's movements
become graceful and mesmerizing, as if they are an
embodiment of the arcane's captivating essence.
Those who witness the performance find it difficult to
avert their gaze or even blink, as the spectacle holds
them in an enchanting trance, bewitching their minds
and hearts.
Name: Hysterical Folly
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: 6
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Target: 20-foot radius sphere centered on a point
within range
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Hysterical Folly is a powerful enchantment spell that
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
taps into the chaotic essence of the multiverse to
weave an illusion of amusement and hilarity. When
casting this spell, the spellcaster must utter a
complex incantation, their voice resonating with a
mesmerizing cadence that bends the will of nearby
creatures. Additionally, intricate somatic gestures are
required, involving exaggerated motions as if
conducting an invisible orchestra of laughter.
Upon successful casting, a sphere of energy erupts
from the designated point, expanding rapidly to
engulf all creatures within its 20-foot radius. The
energy is infused with an ethereal tapestry of
prismatic colors, creating a mesmerizing display that
catches the eye and captivates the senses. The
spell's magical energy then infuses the minds of
those caught within its range.
Affected creatures must make a Wisdom saving
throw to resist the enchantment's effects. Those who
fail the save are overwhelmed by an irresistible wave
of mirth and find themselves bursting into
uncontrollable laughter. The spell's magic taps into
the target's fondest memories of amusement, turning
the laughter into a deeply personal and infectious
experience.
While under the spell's influence, affected creatures
become helpless, falling to the ground in bouts of
hilarity, unable to perform any actions or move away
from the area. Furthermore, they are incapacitated
and unable to maintain concentration on any spells
they may have cast. The affected creatures' inability
to communicate due to their laughter adds to the
chaotic atmosphere, causing confusion and
hindering any tactical coordination they might
attempt.
Enhanced Effects: When cast using a spell slot of
higher level than 6th, the range and radius of the
spell increase by 10 feet for each slot level above
6th. Additionally, the duration of the spell extends by
1 round for every two slot levels above 6th.
Casting:
Casting Hysterical Folly requires a focus on the
joyous aspect of life, and thus, the spellcaster must
be in a state of mirth themselves to channel the
enchantment's power effectively. They may need to
recount their own humorous experiences or be in the
company of lighthearted individuals to fuel the spell
with sufficient positive energy. In dire situations, the
spellcaster may also need to use a rare and
462
Hexmaster
comically absurd material component, such as a
feather from a ticklish phoenix, a pinch of dust from a
legendary jester's shoes, or the tear of a laughing
deity.
Flavor:
As the incantation leaves the spellcaster's lips, an
invisible ripple of laughter-filled energy traverses the
air, causing a faint, melodious tinkling that
reverberates throughout the area. The sphere of
enchantment erupts into a kaleidoscope of colors,
resembling a shimmering soap bubble filled with
dancing rainbows. As it engulfs the targets, the
sound of contagious laughter echoes, ranging from
high-pitched giggles to deep-belly chuckles.
Within the affected area, creatures find themselves
entangled in a mirthful cacophony, their faces lighting
up with glee as joyous memories resurface. Laughter
rings out in a chaotic symphony, echoing and
intensifying, making it almost impossible to discern
whose laughter belongs to whom. The ground itself
seems to pulse with hilarity as creatures roll around
helplessly, lost in their fits of euphoria.
Observers may find it hard to resist the contagious
energy of Hysterical Folly, often breaking into smiles
or even laughter themselves, becoming unwitting
participants in the spell's delightful mayhem.
However, for those caught within its grasp, the spell
can be a potent tool for turning the tide of battle or
diffusing tense situations with moments of shared
glee and camaraderie.
Name: Mirage of Miracles
School of Magic: Illusion
Level: 6
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Target: 30-foot radius sphere centered on a point
within range
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a vial of
silvered liquid worth at least 500 gold coins,
consumed during the casting)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Mirage of Miracles is a spell of awe-inspiring
illusionary magic that allows the caster to create a
wondrous and lifelike display of miraculous events.
Hexmaster
Upon casting the spell, the air shimmers with an
otherworldly luminescence, and a stunning array of
ethereal images manifests within the designated
area, captivating all who witness it.
Effects:
Restoration of Health: Within the illusionary field,
allies gain temporary hit points equal to 5d8 + the
caster's spellcasting ability modifier. These
temporary hit points offer a buffer against harm,
shielding them from impending danger.
Removal of Negative Conditions: The illusionary
spectacle has a cleansing effect on allies within its
range. Any adverse conditions afflicting them, such
as poison, paralysis, fear, or curses, are temporarily
suspended for the spell's duration.
Granting of Temporary Bonuses: As the awe-
inspiring display continues, allies are granted
temporary bonuses to their abilities. They gain
advantage on all saving throws, skill checks, and
attack rolls while under the influence of the mirage.
Limitations:
The mirage can only affect creatures within the
designated 30-foot radius sphere centered on a point
chosen by the caster.
The illusion is dispelled if the caster's concentration
is broken or if they voluntarily dismiss it.
Enhanced Effects:
When casting Mirage of Miracles using a higher level
spell slot, the restorative effects are amplified. For
each slot level above 6th, the temporary hit points
granted increase by an additional 2d8, and the
duration extends by 1 minute for each level beyond
6th.
Casting:
To cast the Mirage of Miracles, the caster must stand
in a clear and open space, where their gestures and
incantations can be seen and heard by all allies
within range. As the vial of silvered liquid is
consumed, the caster raises their hands high above
their head, channeling their magic into the ground
beneath them. The liquid is then dispersed into the
air, blending with the magical energy, creating an
otherworldly concoction that fuels the illusion.
Flavor:
The Mirage of Miracles is a spell of breathtaking
463
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
beauty and grandeur. As the vial's contents are
released, an iridescent mist envelops the caster and
those nearby. The illusion appears like a vibrant
tapestry of divine events unfolding, featuring celestial
beings, mythical creatures, and awe-inspiring
landscapes. It is accompanied by a mesmerizing
symphony of harmonious tones that resonate with
the soul, uplifting and inspiring all who behold it.
The illusion constantly evolves and adapts,
personalized to each observer, showing them visions
of their deepest desires and dreams. The air is filled
with the fragrance of rare flowers, and a gentle,
warm breeze carries the sensation of serenity and
joy. It is as if the boundaries between reality and
dreams blur, leaving everyone immersed in a state of
wonder and hope.
However, despite the spell's grandeur, it is essential
to remember that it remains an illusion. The Mirage
of Miracles can grant a temporary respite and bolster
the spirits of those who witness it, but its effects
vanish with the fading illusion, leaving no lasting
impact on the physical world. Thus, its true power
lies in the hope and courage it instills in the hearts of
the adventurers, motivating them to overcome
challenges and strive for greatness even in the
darkest of times.
Name: Puppeteer's Marionette
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: 7
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Target: Up to 3 creatures within range
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a delicate
silver string)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: When casting Puppeteer's Marionette,
the spellcaster's eyes flash with a spectral
luminescence as they single out up to three
creatures within 120 feet, threading each target with
a shimmering silver strand of ethereal energy. The
targets must make a Wisdom saving throw against
the caster's spell save DC. On a failed save, they
become puppets under the caster's control for the
duration.
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
While controlled, the creatures' movements are
perfectly coordinated, and they move with an
unnatural grace. The caster can command the
puppets as a bonus action on each of their turns
during the spell's duration. The puppets can move up
to their normal movement speed and perform any
physical actions allowed by their anatomy and
physical abilities.
Moreover, the Puppeteer's Marionette allows the
caster to impart a touch of chaos to the puppetry. As
a bonus action, the caster can make the puppets
carry out a synchronized and powerful attack,
targeting a single creature or multiple enemies within
reach. The puppets' attacks are treated as magical
for the purposes of overcoming resistances and
immunities.
The spell, however, requires intense focus and
concentration. The caster must maintain
concentration throughout the spell's duration, or the
control over the puppets is lost, and they regain their
free will. Additionally, creatures of significant mental
fortitude, such as those immune to being charmed or
magically controlled, have advantage on their saving
throws against this spell.
Enhanced Effects: When casting Puppeteer's
Marionette using a spell slot of 8th level or higher,
the caster can target an additional creature for each
slot level above 7th. Furthermore, the duration of the
spell extends by 1 minute for each slot level above
7th, allowing for a more extended and grandiose
performance of chaos.
Casting: To cast Puppeteer's Marionette, the
spellcaster must perform a series of intricate
gestures, reminiscent of a skilled puppeteer
manipulating invisible strings. They also chant an
incantation in a melodic, entrancing tone, weaving
their will into the silver strings that extend from their
fingertips. Additionally, the caster must possess a
delicate silver string as the material component,
which acts as a conduit for their control.
Flavor: When Puppeteer's Marionette takes effect,
shimmering silver threads of energy emanate from
the caster's outstretched hand, shooting forth like
celestial puppet strings. These spectral strings then
wrap around the chosen targets, attaching
themselves to the creatures like gossamer threads.
As the spell takes hold, the creatures' movements
become fluid yet unnaturally precise, their eyes
464
Hexmaster
reflecting the distant echoes of the caster's
intentions. The overall scene is both mesmerizing
and eerie, like an otherworldly marionette show
where the strings themselves possess a life of their
own. Spectators might find themselves entranced by
the display, caught between admiration and fear as
they witness the dance of chaos orchestrated by the
Puppeteer's Marionette spell.
Name: Illusionary Maze
School of Magic: Illusion
Level: 7
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Target: 40-foot radius area
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a small
crystal prism)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
Saving Throw: Intelligence saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
The Illusionary Maze is a powerful spell that taps into
the intricate nature of illusion magic to create a
perplexing labyrinth capable of ensnaring even the
most seasoned adventurers. When you cast this
spell, you begin an intricate incantation, weaving
ethereal strands of illusionary energy into an
elaborate design that forms a 40-foot radius maze at
the target location. The maze is invisible to those
outside its boundaries, making it even more
mystifying and confounding.
Any creature that enters the Illusionary Maze or
starts its turn within the maze's boundaries must
make an Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save,
the creature becomes lost and disoriented, unable to
discern the true pathways from the illusory ones. The
affected creature's movement speed is halved, and it
cannot benefit from any teleportation or plane-
shifting abilities, rendering it trapped within the maze
until it successfully saves or the spell's duration
ends.
Additionally, while within the maze, the affected
creature is under the constant influence of the
"confusion" spell, further exacerbating their confusion
and bewilderment. The illusionary walls seem to shift
and change with each passing moment, making it
almost impossible for the trapped creatures to find an
escape route. They might hear distant echoes of
Hexmaster
their companions or even their own footsteps,
leading them in circles and adding to their torment.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When casting Illusionary Maze using a spell slot of
8th level or higher, the size of the maze increases.
For each level above 7th, the radius of the maze
increases by an additional 10 feet. This augmented
maze becomes even more daunting, making it
harder for creatures to find their way out.
Casting:
To cast Illusionary Maze, the spellcaster must stand
within the area they wish to create the maze. They
must then trace complex patterns in the air with the
crystal prism, which glows with an enchanting blue
light as the illusion takes form. The spellcaster must
maintain complete concentration throughout the
casting, as any distraction or interruption could result
in a misstep, weakening the spell's potency.
Flavor:
As the Illusionary Maze takes shape, the air
shimmers with iridescent hues, resembling the dance
of colorful butterflies. The sounds of whispers and
faint laughter fill the air, hinting at the bewitching
nature of the maze. The walls of the maze seem to
waver like a mirage, drawing unsuspecting creatures
into its captivating embrace.
The maze appears like a fantastical wonderland, with
towering hedges of swirling colors, towering
archways, and hidden doorways that lead to
nowhere. The ground beneath one's feet may
transform from grassy meadows to sparkling streams
or even floating islands, adding to the disorienting
experience.
Within the maze, the illusions become even more
surreal, playing on the trapped creatures' fears and
desires. Phantasmal beasts might lurk in the
shadows, illusory treasures temptingly glimmer in the
distance, and portals to other dimensions tease with
the promise of escape. But as the bewildered
adventurers reach out for these temptations, they
find themselves grasping at mere illusions that fade
away like morning mist.
Name: Enigma's Shroud
School of Magic: Illusion
Level: 7
465
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a small vial
of rare and costly mist essence)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Enigma's Shroud is an extraordinary spell that
empowers the caster with the ability to create a
mystical cloak of illusionary mist around themselves,
shrouding their presence from prying eyes and
making them elusive and untargetable. Upon casting
the spell, the air around the caster ripples with a
mesmerizing haze, and they become hidden from
sight, scent, and sound, as if they were a ghostly
enigma.
While enveloped in the Shroud, the caster gains the
following effects:
Invisibility: The caster becomes invisible, blending
seamlessly into their surroundings. Only the most
powerful and perceptive beings can hope to discern
their true location.
Evasion of Attacks: The Shroud grants the caster an
ethereal layer of protection, causing incoming attacks
to pass through them harmlessly. The caster gains
advantage on all Dexterity saving throws and is
immune to any targeted spell or effect that requires
them to make a saving throw.
Disorienting Aura: The illusionary mist creates an
unsettling aura around the caster. Any creature
attempting to target the caster with an attack or spell
must first succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or
have their action diverted to a random target within
range.
Phantom Movement: As long as the caster maintains
concentration on the spell, they can move through
creatures and objects as if they were intangible. This
ability allows them to phase through barriers,
obstacles, or even enemies to reach their desired
location.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When cast using an 8th or 9th level spell slot, the
duration of Enigma's Shroud extends to 24 hours,
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
allowing the caster to maintain the spell's effects
throughout an entire day. Additionally, the
disorienting aura's saving throw DC increases by 2
when cast at 8th level and by 4 when cast at 9th
level.
Casting:
Enigma's Shroud requires a precise and intricate
casting ritual. The caster must stand in the center of
a pentagram inscribed with arcane runes and trace
their fingers along the contours while chanting an
ancient incantation. The material component, the
rare vial of mist essence, is released into the air
during the casting process, infusing the illusion with
its magical properties.
Flavor:
As Enigma's Shroud is cast, a kaleidoscope of colors
swirls around the caster, like a mesmerizing dance of
luminous mist. The air crackles with an otherworldly
energy, and the sound of distant whispers fills the
surrounding space, creating an eerie and mysterious
ambiance. As the Shroud fully materializes, the
caster vanishes from sight, leaving behind only faint
ripples in the air, like the wake of a vanishing spirit.
The spell has gained legendary status among
illusionists, and its mastery is a testament to the
caster's skill in manipulating the fabric of reality. It is
said that those who have truly mastered Enigma's
Shroud can seamlessly transition between the world
of shadows and the realm of the living, becoming
true enigmas that leave their enemies confounded
and their allies in awe. However, the illusionary
nature of the spell demands immense concentration
and focus, and even the slightest disruption to the
caster's thoughts can cause the Shroud to dissipate,
leaving them exposed to the dangers of the world
once more. Only the most cunning and disciplined
spellcasters can fully harness the potential of
Enigma's Shroud and wield its power to become
living legends in the annals of magic.
Name: Euphoric Epiphany
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: 7
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: Self and all willing creatures within range
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a vial of
liquid starlight and a piece of art infused with
466
Hexmaster
emotion)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: Euphoric Epiphany is a spell of
extraordinary power, woven from the threads of
enchantment and emotion. When casting this spell,
the caster begins with an invocation, their voice
taking on a melodic tone, resonating with the
harmony of the cosmos. The somatic component of
the spell involves sweeping hand gestures that trace
radiant patterns in the air, causing ripples of energy
to emanate from the caster's fingertips. The vial of
liquid starlight is uncorked, releasing a sparkling
iridescence that dances like stardust in the air.
Upon the completion of the casting, a brilliant aura of
euphoria envelops the caster and all willing creatures
within the range. The spell washes over them,
infusing their minds and hearts with a profound
sense of inspiration and joy. This wondrous effect
grants the following benefits to the affected allies:
Enhanced Abilities: For the duration of the spell, all
affected creatures gain advantage on ability checks,
saving throws, and attack rolls. Their movements
become agile and graceful, their reflexes honed to
perfection.
Temporary Hit Points: Each affected creature gains a
temporary pool of hit points equal to the caster's level
plus their spellcasting ability modifier. These
temporary hit points act as a buffer against harm,
granting resilience in the face of danger.
Immunity to Fear and Charm: The euphoric state
bestowed by the spell renders the affected creatures
immune to fear and charm effects. Their minds are
shielded from manipulation, and their hearts are
fortified against dread.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When cast using an 8th level spell slot or higher, the
duration of the spell extends to 10 minutes, and the
temporary hit points are doubled.
Casting: To unleash the true potential of Euphoric
Epiphany, the caster must be in a state of profound
inspiration themselves. This spell requires an
emotional connection to the magic, drawing from
moments of personal triumph or immense happiness.
Hexmaster
It cannot be cast during moments of deep despair or
melancholy, as the emotional discord would disrupt
the spell's delicate balance.
Flavor: As the Euphoric Epiphany takes hold, the air
around the caster and their allies shimmers with
radiant hues, as if the very essence of inspiration has
materialized. Soft whispers of enchanting melodies
resonate throughout the area, lifting the spirits of all
who hear them. Each affected creature's eyes glint
with an ethereal glow, reflecting the beauty of the
spell's inner magic.
It is said that when Euphoric Epiphany is cast on the
battlefield, the sight is awe-inspiring, akin to
witnessing the symphony of the cosmos itself. The
euphoria bestowed by the spell infuses the allies'
hearts, making them feel invincible, and their foes
tremble at the sight of such exalted determination.
The spell's impact on the mind and soul is profound,
a testament to the unyielding power of joy and
inspiration in the face of adversity.
Name: Illusory Apocalypse
School of Magic: Illusion
Level: 8
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Target: All creatures within a 30-foot radius sphere
centered on a point you choose within range
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a small
hourglass filled with fine sand and a shattered piece
of obsidian)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Illusory Apocalypse is a spell of unparalleled
grandeur that taps into the deepest fears and primal
instincts of those caught within its deceptive
embrace. When casting this spell, the wizard begins
by chanting an ancient incantation in a resonating
voice, while intricate gestures shape the flow of
magical energy. The materials, a small hourglass
filled with fine sand and a shattered piece of
obsidian, represent the ephemeral nature of
existence and the inevitability of chaos.
Once the spell is invoked, a palpable aura of dread
spreads from the caster, enveloping all creatures
467
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
within a 30-foot radius sphere. Illusions of terrifying
meteors plummeting from the skies, ominous
rumblings, and blinding flashes of light create the
illusion of an apocalyptic cataclysm unfolding before
the eyes of the affected creatures. The illusion is so
convincing that it triggers a profound psychological
response, instilling genuine terror and a belief that
the world is truly ending.
Creatures caught in the Illusory Apocalypse must
make a Wisdom saving throw to resist its effects. On
a failed save, they are incapacitated by fear and their
will to fight is shattered. For the duration of the spell,
they are unable to take any actions, and they repeat
the saving throw at the end of each of their turns,
ending the effect on a successful save. Moreover,
the illusion creates an illusory terrain that the
affected creatures perceive as hazardous, making
them reluctant to move closer to the epicenter.
Casting Illusory Apocalypse using a 9th-level spell
slot enhances its power, causing the illusions to
become even more vivid and terrifying. The radius of
the affected area increases to 40 feet, and the
illusory cataclysm gains an eerie supernatural
resonance, amplifying the feelings of doom and
hopelessness experienced by the creatures.
Casting:
To cast Illusory Apocalypse, the wizard must stand
on stable ground, preferably on a high vantage point
to extend the visual range of the illusion. With the
small hourglass and shattered obsidian in hand, the
caster faces the desired direction of the illusion's
epicenter. They must recite the incantation with
utmost clarity, evoking the images of a world-ending
event with every word. The somatic component
involves intricate gestures that mirror the impending
chaos, emphasizing the gravity of the situation and
augmenting the spell's potency.
Flavor:
When Illusory Apocalypse is unleashed, the air
crackles with charged energy, and the skies darken
with ominous clouds. The illusions are incredibly
vivid, with meteors of fiery red and golden hues
streaking through the sky, creating a breathtaking
and terrifying spectacle. Deafening rumblings and
earth-shaking vibrations accompany the visual
display, further fueling the illusion's realism.
As the spell progresses, the terror-stricken creatures'
eyes widen with genuine fear, and beads of sweat
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
glisten on their foreheads. The illusion's effects are
so potent that some may fall to their knees, covering
their heads, while others may cower or seek shelter
in a futile attempt to escape the perceived
devastation.
However, despite the harrowing nature of Illusory
Apocalypse, the spell leaves no lasting physical
harm. Once the concentration is broken or the
affected creatures succeed in saving against the
illusion, the nightmarish vision dissipates, leaving
behind only the memory of the ordeal.
(Note: Illusory Apocalypse should be used
responsibly and sparingly, as its effects on the
psyche can be severe, and the line between illusion
and reality can blur in the minds of those exposed to
its power.)
Name: Master Manipulator's Dominion
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: 8
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: 120 feet
Target: Multiple creatures within a 30-foot radius
sphere
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a miniature
puppet crafted from rare enchanted wood)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour (Special:
Indefinite control until the spell ends)
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Master Manipulator's Dominion is a spell of profound
influence and domination, enabling the caster to
bend the will of multiple creatures to their whim.
When you cast this spell, you weave intricate
enchantments and channel immense magical power
into the miniature puppet, which serves as the focal
point for the spell's control. The puppet glows with an
ethereal light, and your eyes become temporarily
ablaze with an otherworldly radiance.
Upon completion of the casting, the spell targets all
creatures of your choice within a 30-foot radius
sphere centered on the puppet. Each targeted
creature must make a Wisdom saving throw to resist
the spell's effects. Those who fail to resist fall under
your absolute command, becoming your loyal
puppets. Their minds and actions are bound to your
468
Hexmaster
will indefinitely until the spell's concentration is
broken, or you willingly end the spell.
While under the effects of Master Manipulator's
Dominion, the controlled creatures retain their
physical abilities and knowledge but are stripped of
their free will. They follow your commands to the best
of their abilities without question. However, the
puppetry is delicate, and the controlled creatures
become inactive if the distance between you and any
of them exceeds the range of the spell. Should you
lose concentration, they regain their freedom, and
their last memory might be of your manipulation.
Casting:
To cast Master Manipulator's Dominion, the caster
must perform a meticulously choreographed
sequence of gestures, intricately weaving fingers
through the air to symbolize the puppet strings of
control. The incantations uttered must be spoken
with precise tonal fluctuations and a resolute,
commanding voice.
The most crucial component of the spell is the
miniature puppet crafted from rare enchanted wood.
This puppet is designed to resemble a marionette,
complete with fine details that mimic the intended
targets. The wood is imbued with the essence of
magical domination, adding to the spell's potency.
The puppet is consumed during the casting process,
turning to ash as the spell takes effect.
Flavor:
As you initiate the casting of Master Manipulator's
Dominion, the air around you crackles with magical
energy. Your voice becomes resonant and
commanding, echoing with an eerie melody that
seems to twist reality itself. The miniature puppet
starts to levitate, rotating slowly in mid-air while
emanating a pulsating aura of power.
As you complete the casting, the glow intensifies,
and the puppet's strings appear to extend towards
the targeted creatures, connecting them to your will.
Strands of magical energy, shimmering like silver,
emanate from your eyes, reaching out to touch the
minds of those you seek to control. The controlled
creatures' eyes might momentarily flash with the
same radiant glow as the puppet, signifying their
submission to your dominance.
As you issue commands to your puppeted minions,
the strings of magical connection subtly tug at their
Hexmaster
movements, making them appear like marionettes
being deftly manipulated by a skilled puppeteer.
Each of their actions now echoes your desires, and
their loyalty is unwavering, as though bound by an
unbreakable spell of servitude.
Name: Enigma's Escape
School of Magic: Illusion
Level: 8
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 300 feet
Target: A 30-foot radius area
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a small,
ornate hourglass filled with shimmering sand worth
500 gp, which the spell consumes)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description: Enigma's Escape is a formidable spell
known only to the most skilled illusionists. When you
cast this spell, you weave intricate gestures and
chants while holding the enchanted hourglass aloft.
As the sand inside starts to cascade, reality seems to
shift and twist, causing the surroundings to blur into a
surreal dreamscape.
Upon completing the casting, you create an illusory
portal, brilliantly glowing with arcane energy, within a
30-foot radius. The portal opens into a surreal,
ethereal realm - a safe haven inaccessible to anyone
but those you designate as allies at the time of
casting. The safe haven is a place of peace and
respite, with lush gardens, comfortable shelters, and
abundant provisions to sustain you and your allies for
the duration.
Once the portal is open, you and any number of
willing creatures within range can step through it to
instantly reach the safe haven. The escape is
instantaneous, and you arrive at the other end with
no time passing in the real world. Additionally,
Enigma's Escape is designed to ignore planar
boundaries, allowing you to escape to this safe
haven from any location, even across different
planes of existence. However, you can only create
the portal on a solid surface, such as the ground or a
wall.
While within the safe haven, time passes at a slowed
pace, allowing you to spend up to 1 minute inside
469
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
before the spell ends. During this time, you can rest,
recover spells, and tend to your wounds. If you
choose to exit the safe haven before the spell's
duration expires, you and your allies are instantly
returned to the exact locations from which you
entered the portal, again with no time passing in the
real world.
Enhanced Effects: When casting Enigma's Escape
using a spell slot of 9th level or higher, the duration
of the spell within the safe haven increases to 8
hours. Additionally, you can bring along willing
creatures equal to twice the spell slot level. The
radius of the safe haven also expands to 60 feet,
allowing for more luxurious accommodations and
increased sustenance for those inside.
Flavor: As you begin casting Enigma's Escape, the
air around you shimmers with an otherworldly glow,
and a low, resonating hum fills the area. The
enchanted hourglass releases its sparkling sand into
the air, which twirls around you in mesmerizing
patterns. A brilliant, pulsating portal materializes
before you, resembling a translucent gateway formed
from a mosaic of ever-changing colors. The portal
emits a soothing, melodic sound, as if whispering
promises of sanctuary and freedom.
Name: Hilarious Havoc
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: 8
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Target: All creatures within a 30-foot radius sphere
centered on a point within range
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: 1 minute (Concentration)
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Hilarious Havoc is a spell that taps into the very
essence of joy and amusement, transforming the
battlefield into a circus of laughter and mirth. When
you cast this spell, you unleash a cascade of
enchanting energy that ripples outward in all
directions, enveloping all creatures within a 30-foot
radius sphere. Each creature caught within the
spell's area of effect must make a Wisdom saving
throw or fall victim to the uncontrollable effects of
unbridled laughter.
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
Those who fail the saving throw are consumed by
waves of mirth, doubling over with laughter and
unable to take any actions during the spell's duration.
The laughter is so intense that it hampers any
attempts at concentration, making it difficult for
spellcasters to maintain their focus on other magical
effects.
Casting at Higher Levels:
When you cast Hilarious Havoc using a spell slot of
9th level, the area of effect expands to a 40-foot
radius, and the spell's duration increases to 1 minute
per level of the spell slot used.
Limitations:
Hilarious Havoc can affect creatures of any type, but
it will not affect those who are immune to being
charmed or have exceptional mental fortitude.
Additionally, creatures with a natural resistance to
enchantments may have an advantage in their
saving throws.
Casting:
To cast Hilarious Havoc, the spellcaster raises their
hands and utters a magical incantation, invoking the
essence of laughter itself. A playful and exuberant
tone is crucial to channel the spell's effects properly.
Moreover, in order to tap into the wellspring of
laughter and ensure the spell's success, the caster
must be in a genuinely good mood. Casting the spell
under stressful or melancholic circumstances may
result in unintended consequences or, in the worst
cases, outright failure.
Flavor:
As the Hilarious Havoc is unleashed, a vibrant
spectrum of colors bursts forth from the spellcaster's
hands, swirling and dancing in the air like confetti
caught in a gust of wind. The magical energy weaves
and tangles, manifesting as shimmering, semi-
transparent jesters and clowns that perform
cartwheels and juggling tricks, their laughter
becoming a contagious symphony. The sound of
giddy chuckles and joyful giggles fills the air, echoing
and bouncing off surfaces like a euphoric cacophony.
The affected creatures are enveloped in an aura of
blissful amusement, and their expressions shift from
surprise to uncontrollable laughter. Each individual's
laughter has a unique timbre and pitch, forming a
harmonious chorus of amusement. The spell's
effects do not merely provoke laughter but amplify it
470
Hexmaster
exponentially, compelling even the most stoic beings
to collapse in fits of belly-aching hilarity. Despite its
whimsical appearance, the spell's effects are
powerful, effectively turning the battlefield into a
momentary spectacle of sheer delight and hilarity.
Name: Illusionary Dream
School of Magic: Illusion and Enchantment
Level: 9th
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: 300 feet
Target: Multiple creatures within a 60-foot radius
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a fragment
of a dream crystal and a drop of opalescent ink worth
500 gp, which the spell consumes)
Duration: Concentration, up to 8 hours
Saving Throw: Intelligence saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Illusionary Dream begins with the caster reciting an
incantation in an ancient, melodious language while
performing intricate hand gestures, manipulating the
weave of reality. The material components, a
fragment of a dream crystal and a drop of opalescent
ink, are combined in an ornate ritual circle, releasing
a burst of radiant colors and captivating ethereal
patterns.
Once the casting is complete, the spell's magic
reaches out to ensnare the minds of the targeted
creatures within a 60-foot radius, who must make an
Intelligence saving throw to resist its effects. Those
who fail are drawn into a shared illusionary dream
that transports them to a collective fantasy world.
Within this dreamscape, the minds of the affected
creatures interact as though they were physically
present, sharing the same experiences and events.
The illusion is incredibly convincing, replicating all
senses, emotions, and perceptions. Time within the
dream flows independently of the real world, allowing
for extended experiences in what may feel like days
or even weeks.
The dream's setting can be tailored by the caster,
from peaceful paradises to haunting nightmares, but
its influence is limited to a shared space. The dream
cannot extend beyond its initial range, nor can it
affect creatures who are not within the spell's area of
effect during its casting.
Hexmaster
While trapped within Illusionary Dream, creatures
believe their surroundings to be real and are subject
to the dangers and challenges presented by the
dream environment. Any damage suffered within the
dream will be perceived as genuine and can even
affect their physical bodies once they awaken.
However, the spell is not without its limitations.
Powerful creatures, such as ancient dragons or
archmages, may possess the mental fortitude to
resist the spell or even break free once ensnared.
Furthermore, if the caster loses concentration, the
spell immediately ends, releasing the trapped
creatures from the illusion.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
Casting Illusionary Dream using a higher level spell
slot enhances its duration and increases the number
of creatures that can be affected:
10th level: Duration extends to 24 hours.
11th level: Duration extends to 1 week, and the spell
can target an additional creature.
12th level: Duration extends to 1 month, and the
spell can target two additional creatures.
13th level: Duration becomes permanent until
dispelled, and the spell can target three additional
creatures.
Flavor:
When Illusionary Dream is cast, a cascade of
shimmering lights and ephemeral mists emanates
from the caster's hands, intertwining to form a
massive, translucent dome that envelops the
targeted creatures. Within the dome, images of
fantastical landscapes, celestial beings, and mythical
creatures dance and weave together in a captivating
dance of illusions. The sound of enchanting melodies
fills the air, echoing through the minds of those
caught in the dream's embrace. Each creature sees
their companions' ethereal forms, and their emotions
become entwined, sharing both joy and fear as they
navigate the shared illusionary realm. To onlookers,
the dome of illusion appears like a breathtaking
display of ever-changing colors and patterns,
drawing them into a trance-like state if they gaze too
long.
Note: The Illusionary Dream spell should be used
with care and consideration, as it may significantly
impact the characters' experiences and emotions
during a role-playing game. Hexmasters and players
should communicate and agree upon the
implementation and consequences of this powerful
471
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
spell before incorporating it into their campaign.
Grand Illusionary Spectacle
Description:
School of Magic: Illusion
Level: 9th level
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Self (500-foot radius)
Target: Area of effect - a grand spectacle affecting
the environment, time, and events on a massive
scale
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a
crystalline prism worth 5000 gold pieces)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Grand Illusionary Spectacle is the epitome of
illusionary magic, a spell that weaves together the
mystic arts to create an awe-inspiring spectacle of
unparalleled magnitude. Only the most skilled
illusionists, who have honed their craft over decades,
can even attempt to wield such power.
To cast this spell, the caster must immerse
themselves in a profound trance, channeling their
innermost creativity and desires. They then activate
the spell by chanting a complex incantation,
accompanied by intricate hand gestures, while
holding the crystalline prism. The prism, acting as a
focus for the spell, refracts light and bends reality to
amplify the illusion's impact.
Once the spell is activated, an ethereal energy
pulses outward from the caster, enveloping a
colossal 500-foot radius. Anyone within this radius
becomes entangled in the spell's illusionary grasp.
The illusion is so vivid that it affects not just sight but
also other senses, including sound, smell, and touch,
immersing everyone within it as if they were living the
illusion.
The illusion can take various forms, shaped by the
caster's imagination, but common manifestations
include a breathtaking cityscape rising from the
ground, adorned with shimmering spires and
mythical creatures soaring through the skies. The
illusion can mimic natural phenomena such as
vibrant auroras, cascading waterfalls, or erupting
volcanoes, or even replicate historical battles on a
grand scale.
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
The Illusionary Spectacle warps the environment,
creating the illusion of altered terrain. For example, a
seemingly impassable chasm might appear where
none existed before, or a protective barrier may
encircle a designated area, cutting it off from the rest
of the world.
Moreover, the spell manipulates time itself within the
illusion. Time can speed up or slow down, causing
events to unfold in a mesmerizing yet distorted
manner. A minute within the illusion could feel like an
eternity, while an hour might pass in the blink of an
eye.
The spell's influence goes beyond mere visual
deception. Creatures caught within the spectacle
may experience emotions and thoughts induced by
the illusion. These emotions can range from awe and
fascination to fear and despair, depending on the
illusion's nature.
As for the events influenced on a grand scale, the
illusion can subtly sway decisions, actions, and
outcomes of those within it. It can nudge participants
to interact in ways they might not have otherwise,
fostering alliances or sowing discord.
Casting the Grand Illusionary Spectacle requires an
immense amount of magical energy. As a 9th-level
spell, only the most accomplished spellcasters can
access its potential. Furthermore, maintaining
concentration for the duration is demanding, as the
caster must continually weave their magic to uphold
the illusion.
Enhanced Effects:
When cast using a spell slot of 10th level or higher,
the radius of the illusion expands by an additional
100 feet for each level above 9th. Additionally, the
potency of the emotional manipulation within the
illusion is heightened, making it harder for creatures
to resist its allure.
Flavor:
As the caster begins the ritual, an ethereal glow
envelops them, and their eyes shine with arcane
brilliance. When the spell is fully invoked, a
mesmerizing ripple spreads outward, distorting
reality as the illusion takes form. The air vibrates with
an otherworldly hum, and the surroundings seem to
shift and shimmer like a mirage. For anyone
witnessing the spectacle from the outside, it is a
472
Hexmaster
breathtaking display of magic and artistry, leaving
them in awe of the caster's extraordinary abilities.
Name: Fools' Frenzy
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: 9
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 300 feet
Target: A 60-foot radius sphere centered on a point
within range
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a small
silver bell and a vial of blood from a trickster deity)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: Fools' Frenzy is a spell born from the
intertwining of enigmatic enchantments and the
unpredictable essence of chaotic tricksters. When
this spell is invoked, a devious laughter echoes
through the air, signaling its manifestation. The
caster rings the silver bell while sprinkling the deity's
blood, and a shimmering dome envelops the
designated area, distorting the perceptions of all
creatures within.
Any creature that enters the spell's area or starts its
turn within it must make a Wisdom saving throw. On
a failed save, the creature succumbs to the madness
and frenzy, losing control of its actions. For the
duration of the spell, affected creatures are
compelled to attack the nearest target within reach,
regardless of whether it is friend or foe. This spell
even overwhelms creatures typically immune to
charm or fear effects, as it taps into the primal
instincts buried deep within their minds.
The frenzied creatures gain temporary hit points
equal to their maximum hit points, which fuels their
unyielding fervor, and they have advantage on melee
attack rolls. They are immune to being charmed or
frightened during the frenzy. Additionally, they can
make one additional attack during their turn.
However, the chaos-driven frenzy is not without its
drawbacks. The creatures lose all sense of self-
preservation, disregarding their own safety, and they
cannot willingly move away from their current target.
Their actions become unpredictable, and they can
inadvertently hit their allies if they are in close
Hexmaster
proximity.
Casting Fools' Frenzy at a higher level enhances its
effects. For each spell slot level above 9th, the radius
of the spell's area increases by 10 feet, and the
duration extends by 1 additional round.
Casting: To cast Fools' Frenzy, the spellcaster must
be in a location where the boundary between reality
and chaos is thin. This might be during a celestial
event like a planetary alignment or within a realm
imbued with the essence of trickery and
unpredictability. The caster must chant a cryptic
incantation in an ancient language while performing
intricate hand gestures, followed by the ringing of the
silver bell and the careful application of the trickster
deity's blood.
Flavor: As the spell takes form, the air is filled with
an electrifying tension. Arcane symbols and pulsating
colors swirl around the caster, and a kaleidoscope of
lights bursts forth from the bell and blood, enveloping
the targeted area. The laughter of the trickster deity
echoes like a chorus of mirthful maniacs, sending
chills down the spine of all who hear it. Observers
might catch glimpses of spectral jesters cavorting
amidst the chaos, whispering tantalizing riddles to
fuel the frenzy even further.
Name: Jester's Grand Finale
School of Magic: Illusion
Level: 9
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: 300 feet
Target: 60-foot radius sphere centered on a point
within range
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a small
silver bell, a piece of shimmering silk, and a vial of
rare rainbow-hued ink)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: Jester's Grand Finale is a spell that
harnesses the essence of joy, deception, and the
surreal to create a wondrous and mind-altering
spectacle. When cast, the caster must perform an
intricate and elaborate ritual that involves ringing the
silver bell in specific patterns, waving the shimmering
silk in mesmerizing motions, and drawing intricate
patterns with the rainbow-hued ink. This ritual can
473
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
only be performed during the climax of a celestial
event, such as a total solar eclipse or a meteor
shower, as it draws power from the convergence of
cosmic energies.
Upon the successful completion of the ritual, a
sphere of pure illusion, 60 feet in radius, is centered
on a point within range. This illusion is not just visual
but engages all senses, making it a multisensory
extravaganza. The illusory spectacle can take
various forms, resembling a grand circus, an
otherworldly masquerade, or a phantasmagorical
parade, depending on the caster's imagination.
Every creature within the area of effect must make a
Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the targets
are completely ensnared by the illusion, believing it
to be an absolute reality. Their perception of the
world outside the illusion is suppressed, and they are
unable to see or hear anything else. The targets are
also considered charmed by the illusion, causing
them to be friendly towards the caster and their
allies.
However, the spell's true potency lies in its ability to
rewrite memories and alter reality subtly. As the
targets engage with the illusion, their minds become
susceptible to suggestion. The caster can implant
false memories or manipulate existing ones, leading
the targets to believe they experienced certain
events or had different relationships with people.
While under the influence of Jester's Grand Finale,
the targets' perception of time becomes distorted,
and the duration of the spell seems subjectively
longer to them.
Enhanced Spell Effects: When cast using a 10th
level or higher spell slot, the range of Jester's Grand
Finale increases to 600 feet, and the illusory
spectacle becomes even more complex and
captivating. The enchantment on the targets
becomes stronger, making it extremely difficult for
them to discern the illusion from reality. The saving
throw DC is also increased by 2 for each level above
9th.
Casting: To cast Jester's Grand Finale, the caster
must be a master of illusion magic, well-versed in the
art of performance, and have an affinity for the
whimsical. They must chant poetic verses that evoke
emotions of delight, surprise, and enchantment while
executing intricate dance-like movements with the
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
silver bell and the shimmering silk. The rare rainbow-
hued ink must be delicately spread over the ground
within the area of effect, drawing intricate patterns
that serve as the anchor for the illusion.
Flavor: When Jester's Grand Finale is cast, a
breathtaking array of colors bursts forth from the
caster's hands, emanating in pulsating waves that
spread across the designated area. The air fills with
melodious laughter, chiming bells, and soothing
whispers, while a sweet fragrance envelops the
surroundings, leaving everyone with a feeling of
euphoria. The illusion shimmers and dances like
living art, every movement leaving trails of iridescent
light behind. Spectral acrobats soar through the air,
mythical creatures parade through the streets, and
ethereal dancers glide gracefully, casting
mesmerizing spells of bewilderment and awe upon
the enchanted audience. It's an otherworldly display

Flavor: Lash Savants are flamboyant, confident
individuals who combine their magical prowess with
their uncanny skills with a whip. They are often seen
as show-offs or daredevils, but their skills are
undoubtedly effective.
Usage: An Lash Savant is used to control the
battlefield with their whip and magic, keeping
enemies at bay while dealing significant damage.
They also excel in one-on-one duels, using their whip
to disarm or trip their opponents.
Combination Classes: Bard and Warlock can
complement the Lash Savant class for their
Charisma-based spellcasting and additional utility or
damage options.
Limitations: While versatile and stylish, Lash
Savants may struggle in tight spaces where their
whip can't be used effectively. They also lack the
Hexmaster
defensive capabilities of more heavily-armored
classes.
Variants: Each subclass represents a variant of the
Lash Savant.
Name: Arcane Whip
Level: 1st Level
Description: You have learned to imbue your whip
with arcane energy, allowing it to lash out at enemies
with magical force. This enhancement not only
increases the lethality of your attacks but also
provides a range of creative applications.
Usage: The Arcane Whip is primarily used in combat
to enhance your attacks, deal additional damage,
and provide crowd control. Outside of combat, it
could be used for a variety of tasks, such as
triggering traps from a safe distance, retrieving
distant items, or even performing flashy tricks to
impress an audience.
Mechanics: When you choose this class feature at
1st level, you learn a ritual that creates a magical
bond between yourself and one whip. You perform
the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be
done during a short rest. The whip must be within
your reach throughout the ritual, at the conclusion of
which, you touch the whip and forge the bond.
Once you have bonded a whip to yourself, you can't
be disarmed of that whip unless you are
incapacitated. If it is on the same plane of existence,
you can summon that whip as a bonus action on
your turn, causing it to teleport instantly to your hand.
When you attack with your Arcane Whip, you use
your Charisma modifier, instead of Strength or
Dexterity, for the attack and damage rolls. You also
add an extra 1d4 force damage to the damage roll.
This extra damage increases as you gain levels in
this class, increasing to 1d6 at 5th level, 1d8 at 11th
level, and 1d10 at 17th level.
Limitations: The Arcane Whip only provides its
benefits to you; in the hands of another, it is a regular
whip. The magical bond and damage enhancement
only apply to one whip at a time. If you attempt to
bond with a second whip, you must break the bond
with the first.
Variants: While there are no inherent variants to the
Arcane Whip, its magical nature could be flavored
475
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
differently based on the subclass of the Lash Savant.
For example, a Star Lash could have a whip that
glows with starlight and leaves a trail of stardust,
while a Shadow Lash might have a whip that
appears to be made of pure shadow, almost
disappearing in low light.
Flavor: When you summon your Arcane Whip, it
appears in a flash of energy that corresponds to your
magical affinity—crackling electricity for a Storm
Lash, a burst of shadows for a Shadow Lash, or a
sprinkle of stardust for a Star Lash. The whip itself
glows faintly with arcane power, leaving a trail of
energy when swung.
Examples:
In combat, an Lash Savant could use their Arcane
Whip to trip an enemy, causing them to fall prone.
On their next turn, they summon the whip back to
their hand and strike the prone enemy for extra
damage.
Outside of combat, an Lash Savant could use their
Arcane Whip to retrieve a key from a hook on the far
side of a trapped room, avoiding the need to
navigate the dangerous traps.
During a performance in a tavern, an Lash Savant
could use their Arcane Whip to perform dazzling
tricks, using the whip's magical glow and energy
trails to enhance the spectacle.
Name: Whip Mastery
Level: 1st Level
Description: You have honed your skills with the
whip to the point of mastery, enabling you to perform
dazzling maneuvers and devastating strikes. This
mastery also extends to the manipulation of your
whip, providing you with a unique set of utilities and
combat options.
Usage: Whip Mastery is primarily used in combat,
allowing you to disarm opponents, trip them, or strike
with extra precision. Outside of combat, it can be
used for a variety of tasks like snagging items from a
distance, traversing gaps by latching onto something,
or impressing onlookers with a display of skill.
Mechanics: At 1st level, you gain the following
benefits when you use a whip:
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
You can use your bonus action to try to disarm a
creature within your whip's reach. Make an attack roll
contested by the target's Strength (Athletics) or
Dexterity (Acrobatics) check (the target chooses the
ability to use). If you win the contest, the target drops
one item of your choice that it's holding.
When you hit a creature with an opportunity attack
using your whip, the creature's speed becomes 0 for
the rest of the turn.
You can use your whip to make a ranged attack
against an object within 10 feet of you. If the object
can be reasonably snagged or hooked (at DM's
discretion), you can pull it towards you or manipulate
it in some way.
Limitations: Whip Mastery is only effective when
using a whip. It doesn't grant any benefits when
using other weapons. Moreover, certain uses, like
snagging items or disarming, are subject to DM
discretion and may not be possible in all
circumstances.
Variants: There are no inherent variants to Whip
Mastery, but the unique stunts performed with the
whip could be flavored differently based on the
character's background or personality.
Flavor: With Whip Mastery, you move with a
dancer's grace and a duelist's precision. Each crack
of your whip is a symphony of power and control,
and your every gesture exudes an aura of effortless
mastery. Your whip seems almost alive in your
hands, responding to your slightest whim.
Examples:
In combat, you use your whip to disarm an enemy
spellcaster, pulling the focus from their hands and
rendering them unable to cast certain spells.
During an exploration, you use your whip to snag a
key hanging high on a wall, avoiding the need to
climb a perilous surface.
In a social setting, you might perform a series of
intricate whip maneuvers, impressing the onlookers
and gaining favor with the local populace.
In a chase, you could use your whip to trip an
escaping enemy when they provoke an opportunity
attack, halting their progress and allowing your allies
476
Hexmaster
to catch up.
Name: Spellcasting
Level: 2nd Level
Description: You have discovered an innate talent
for magic, allowing you to cast spells and infuse your
whip attacks with arcane energy. This adds a new
layer of versatility to your abilities, providing you with
a wide array of tactical options.
Usage: Spellcasting is used both in and out of
combat. In combat, spells can be used to damage
enemies, control the battlefield, or protect yourself
and your allies. Out of combat, spells can provide
utility, such as healing wounds, overcoming
obstacles, or gathering information.
Mechanics: By 2nd level, you have learned to draw
on arcane magic, which is represented by spell slots
and spells known. You have 2 1st-level spell slots
and know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the
Lash Savant spell list. The spells known column of
the Lash Savant table shows when you learn more
spells of your choice.
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your spells.
You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to
your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your
Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC
for a spell you cast and when making an attack roll
with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your
Charisma modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your
Charisma modifier
You can use your Arcane Whip as a spellcasting
focus for your Lash Savant spells.
Limitations: The number of spells you can cast per
day is limited by your spell slots, and you must
complete a long rest to regain expended spell slots.
You can only cast spells that you know, and you can
only prepare a certain number of spells each day
based on your Lash Savant level and Charisma
modifier.
Variants: There are no inherent variants to the
Spellcasting feature, but the selection of spells and
the way you cast them can greatly vary between
different Lash Savants, allowing for a high degree of
Hexmaster Chapter 4 Basic Classes

customization and personal flavor. Prestidigitation

Flavor: When you cast a spell, your Arcane Whip Shocking Grasp

Name: Lash Style
Level: 2nd
Description: The Lash Savant develops a unique
combat style with their magical whip, leveraging its
distinctive properties to control the battlefield. Upon
reaching the 2nd level, the Lash Savant selects one
of the following Lash Styles: the Thresher's Lash, the
Wrangler's Lash, or the Serpent's Lash. Each style
offers a unique combat tactic, emphasizing either
damage, control, or defense.
Usage: The Lash Style is typically used in combat to
influence the tide of battle. Depending on the chosen
style, it may be used to optimize damage output,
control the movement and positioning of enemies, or
bolster personal defenses.
Mechanics: Upon choosing a Lash Style, the Lash
Savant gains a specific feature related to that style:
Thresher's Lash: When you engage in two-weapon
fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the
damage of the second attack. Additionally, your whip
attacks deal an extra 1d4 damage.
Wrangler's Lash: When you hit a creature with your
whip, you can attempt to grapple the creature as a
bonus action. The range of your grapple increases to
match the reach of your whip.
Serpent's Lash: When a creature makes an attack
against you, you can use your reaction to gain a +2
bonus to AC against that attack, potentially causing it
to miss.
Limitations: The Lash Savant must select one Lash
Style at the 2nd level and cannot change it later. The
bonus from Serpent's Lash can only be used if the
Lash Savant is wielding a whip and can see the
attacker.
Variants: The Lash Styles can be adapted to fit
different campaign settings or character concepts
with the Hex Master's permission.
Flavor: The Lash Styles manifest as a visible shift in
the Lash Savant's fighting stance and whip handling.
The Thresher's Lash is a flurry of fast, brutal strikes;
the Wrangler's Lash involves deft maneuvers and
478
Hexmaster
masterful control; the Serpent's Lash is an elegant
dance of swift parries and ripostes.
Examples: The Thresher's Lash is used to maximize
damage, especially when surrounded by multiple
foes. The Wrangler's Lash is best used to isolate a
strong enemy, keeping them at a distance while
allies focus on other threats. The Serpent's Lash is
perfect for dueling powerful single opponents,
allowing the Lash Savant to evade their attacks while
retaliating with precise strikes.
Name: Advanced Whip Techniques
Level: 4
Description: At 4th level, an Lash Savant has honed
their skills with the whip to an exceptional degree,
capable of performing intricate maneuvers that
combine martial prowess with arcane energy.
Advanced Whip Techniques allow an Lash Savant to
broaden their combat capabilities, using their whip to
disarm enemies, grapple, and even redirect spells.
Usage: Advanced Whip Techniques are typically
used in combat situations, though their utility can
also extend to other scenarios where dexterity and
control with a whip are beneficial.
Mechanics: Advanced Whip Techniques are divided
into three distinct maneuvers:
Arcane Disarm: As a reaction, when a creature you
can see within your whip's reach makes an attack,
you can attempt to disarm them. Make an attack roll
with your whip against the attacker's attack roll. If you
succeed, the attack is negated, and the attacker
drops one item of your choice it's holding.
Whip Grapple: As an action, you can attempt to
grapple a creature within your whip's reach. Make a
melee attack roll with your whip against the target's
AC. If you hit, the creature is grappled until it
escapes or you let it go. The grappled creature's
speed becomes 0, and it can't benefit from any
bonus to its speed. While grappled, you can drag the
creature up to half your speed as part of your
movement.
Spell Lash: As a reaction, when a creature you can
see within your whip's reach casts a spell, you can
attempt to redirect it. Make an attack roll with your
whip against the caster's spell save DC. If you
Hexmaster
succeed, you change the spell's target to a new one
within range.
Limitations: Each of these techniques can only be
used once per short or long rest. You must be
wielding your arcane whip to use these techniques.
Variants: Certain subclass features may enhance or
modify these techniques. For example, a Star Lash
Savant might be able to disarm enemies at a greater
range, while a Shadow Lash Savant could use their
whip to grapple and pull enemies into areas of
darkness.
Flavor: When an Lash Savant employs these
techniques, their whip crackles with arcane energy,
leaving trails of starlight, shadows, or elemental
sparks (depending on their subclass) in the air. The
whip moves with supernatural speed and precision,
ensnaring enemies, disarming foes, and even
catching spells mid-air to hurl them back at their
caster.
Examples: An Lash Savant could use the Arcane
Disarm to prevent an enemy archer from releasing
an arrow, the Whip Grapple to pull an ally out of
danger, or the Spell Lash to redirect a fireball back at
the enemy mage. These techniques could also be
used in non-combat situations, such as using the
whip to retrieve a key from a distance or to grapple a
ledge and swing across a chasm.
Name: Enhanced Arcane Whip
Level: 5th
Description: As an Lash Savant grows in power, so
too does their magical whip. At the 5th level, their
bond with this otherworldly weapon deepens,
granting them the ability to channel more potent
spells and enhanced physical capabilities through
their whip. This enhanced whip now ripples with
amplified arcane energy, its lash crackling with
magical force that empowers every attack.
Usage: This feature is a cornerstone of an Lash
Savant’s combat abilities, and is used frequently in
battle to deal with enemies both near and far. The
arcane enhancement also has various utility uses
outside of combat, such as manipulating objects at a
distance or weaving complex spellwork.
Mechanics: The Enhanced Arcane Whip now deals
1d8 damage as opposed to the standard whip's 1d4.
479
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
Additionally, it gains a +1 bonus to attack and
damage rolls. The reach of the whip also increases
from 10 feet to 15 feet, allowing the Lash Savant to
strike foes from an even greater distance.
When casting a spell that requires a melee spell
attack, the Lash Savant can choose to deliver the
spell through the whip. This means the spell's range
becomes the reach of the whip, and the Savant uses
the whip's attack roll for the spell. The spell must be
one that the Savant has prepared and must not have
a self range.
Limitations: The Enhanced Arcane Whip feature
requires the Lash Savant to wield their specific
magical whip. If the whip is lost or destroyed, the
Savant must undergo a special ritual during a long
rest to reform their arcane whip.
Variants: Depending on the subclass chosen, the
Enhanced Arcane Whip feature could have additional
properties. For example, a Star Lash Savant's whip
might deal radiant damage, while a Shadow Lash
Savant's whip might deal necrotic damage, and a
Storm Lash Savant's whip might deal lightning
damage.
Flavor: When the Lash Savant wields their
Enhanced Arcane Whip, the air around them hums
with power. The whip itself pulses with arcane
energy, lighting up dim areas with a soft glow and
leaving trails of magical residue in the air with every
crack. The sound of the whip crackling through the
air is almost musical, a symphony of controlled
chaos and raw power.
Examples: In combat, an Lash Savant might use
their Enhanced Arcane Whip to deliver a 'Shocking
Grasp' spell to an enemy standing 15 feet away,
using the whip's extended reach. Outside of combat,
a Savant could use the whip's reach and precision to
trip a distant lever or retrieve an out-of-reach object.
They might even use the whip's light to navigate a
dark corridor. With their whip, an Lash Savant is a
versatile and formidable adventurer.
7th level: Whip Defense
Name: Whip Defense
Level: 7th level
Description: Whip Defense enhances the Lash
Savant's defensive capabilities, allowing them to
manipulate their whip to deflect attacks and protect
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
themselves.
Usage: Whip Defense is primarily used during
combat situations to enhance the Lash Savant's
survivability by parrying incoming attacks and turning
their whip into a shield-like barrier.
Mechanics: When you are wielding your magical
whip, you gain a bonus to your AC equal to your
Charisma modifier (minimum of +1). This bonus
applies even if you're not using your whip to make an
attack.
Limitations: Whip Defense requires the Lash
Savant to be wielding their magical whip to benefit
from the increased AC. If they are disarmed or
choose not to wield their whip, they do not receive
the bonus to AC.
Name: Superior Whip Mastery
Level: 8th level
Description: The Lash Savant has honed their whip-
wielding skills to a fine art, allowing them to use their
whip with increased precision, control, and power,
while adding new tactical options in combat.
Usage: Superior Whip Mastery is used in combat to
enhance the Lash Savant's whip attacks and utility,
as well as to perform unique maneuvers that
capitalize on the whip's long reach and flexibility.
Mechanics: Upon reaching 8th level, the Lash
Savant gains the following benefits:
The range of the whip increases by 5 feet, allowing
for greater reach and control over the battlefield.
When making an attack roll with a whip, the Lash
Savant can choose to target a specific body part of
the enemy. On a successful hit, the target suffers a
unique debuff based on the body part targeted, as
follows:
Legs: The target's speed is reduced by 10 feet for 1
minute.
Arms: The target has disadvantage on attack rolls
with one weapon or shield of the Lash Savant's
choice for 1 minute.
Head: The target has disadvantage on Wisdom
(Perception) checks and cannot cast spells with
verbal components for 1 minute.
Name: Lash Dance
Level: 9th level
Description: The Lash Savant learns the graceful
art of the Lash Dance, a mesmerizing display of whip
mastery and arcane power. This feature allows the
Lash Savant to unleash a flurry of devastating strikes
with their magical whip, swiftly moving through the
battlefield with elegance and precision.
Usage: Lash Dance is primarily used in combat,
480
Hexmaster
where the Lash Savant becomes a whirlwind of fluid
motions and deadly lashings. It can also be utilized
outside of combat for impressive displays,
performances, or as a means of intimidation.
Mechanics: As an action, the Lash Savant enters
the Lash Dance, which lasts for 1 minute. During this
time, the following effects occur:
Enhanced Attacks: The Lash Savant gains a bonus
to their attack rolls with their magical whip equal to
their Charisma modifier.
Increased Speed: The Lash Savant's movement
speed increases by 10 feet.
Whirling Strikes: Whenever the Lash Savant hits a
creature with an attack using their magical whip, they
can choose to attempt a Whirling Strike. The target
must make a Dexterity saving throw against the Lash
Savant's spell save DC. On a failed save, the target
takes an additional 1d8 force damage and is
knocked prone. On a successful save, the target
takes half damage and isn't knocked prone.
Limitations: The Lash Savant can use the Lash
Dance feature a number of times equal to their
Charisma modifier (minimum of 1). They regain
expended uses after finishing a long rest.
Additionally, while in Lash Dance, the Lash Savant
cannot cast spells that require concentration.
Name: Supreme Whip Techniques
Level: 12th level
Description: At 12th level, you have honed your
whip techniques to a supreme level, gaining
additional capabilities and mastery over your chosen
weapon.
Usage: Supreme Whip Techniques enhance your
combat prowess and provide you with new tactical
options in both melee and ranged engagements.
Mechanics:
Greater Reach: The range of your whip attacks
increases by 10 feet, allowing you to strike at foes
from a greater distance.
Disarming Strike: When you hit a creature with a
melee attack using your whip, you can choose to
attempt a disarming strike. The target must make a
Strength saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency
bonus + your Dexterity modifier) or drop one weapon
or item of your choice that they are holding.
Arcane Lash Mastery: Your Lash Savant spells gain
additional benefits:
Spells that require a spell attack roll have advantage
when cast through your magical whip.
Spells that require a saving throw from the target
have their saving throw DC increased by 1.
The range of your spells with a range of touch is
increased to 10 feet when cast through your magical
Hexmaster Chapter 4 Basic Classes

whip.
Lethal Precision: When you hit a creature with a whip
attack, you can choose to maximize the damage
from one of the weapon's damage dice. This ability
can be used once per turn.
Limitations:
Disarming Strike: You can use this feature a number
of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum
of 1). You regain all expended uses after finishing a
long rest.
Lethal Precision: You can use this feature once per
turn.

Name: Unerring Lash

Level: 13th level
Description: Unerring Lash is a class feature that
enhances the Lash Savant's mastery over their
magical whip, granting them increased range and the
ability to target specific pieces of equipment worn by
their opponents.
Usage: Unerring Lash is primarily used during
combat encounters, allowing the Lash Savant to
strike from a greater distance and strategically
disable or disarm their foes by targeting specific
items they carry.
Mechanics: With Unerring Lash, the whip range of
the Lash Savant increases by 10 feet. This extension
allows them to engage enemies from a safer
distance or reach elusive foes that try to keep their
distance. Furthermore, the Lash Savant gains the
ability to target specific pieces of equipment worn by
their opponents. When making an attack with their
whip, they can choose to aim for a particular item,
such as a weapon, shield, or piece of armor,
attempting to disable or disarm their foe. The Lash
Savant makes an attack roll as usual, using their
spellcasting ability modifier (Charisma) and
proficiency bonus. If the attack hits, the target must
make a Dexterity saving throw (DC = 8 + Charisma
modifier + proficiency bonus) or have the targeted
equipment damaged or disarmed. The specific effect
depends on the nature of the targeted item and the
DM's discretion.
Limitations: Unerring Lash requires the use of the
magical whip, which serves as the Lash Savant's
spellcasting focus. The feature can only target
equipment worn or carried by opponents and does
not work on objects or environmental elements. The
Lash Savant must still overcome any resistances or
immunities the target may possess, and the targeted
item's durability and strength may affect the success
of disarming or damaging it.

Comments:
Ah, the Lords of Maxxia, masters of diplomacy and
rulers of nations. They command with grace and
cunning, shaping the world to their whims. While
combat might not be their forte, the influence they
wield can shape the very course of history. Beware,
though, for power can be both a blessing and a
curse. The Lords of Maxxia must navigate
treacherous waters, where allies can quickly turn into
enemies, and even the most loyal subjects may
harbor their own ambitions. A Lord's true strength
lies not in the swing of a sword, but in the hearts and
minds they command.
Name: Loyal Troops
Level: 1st
Description: The Lord has a small group of loyal
troops at their command, ready to carry out their
orders and serve their cause.
Mechanics:
- Number of Troops: The Lord starts with a loyal
retinue of 10 soldiers who are always ready to follow
their commands.
- Follower Upkeep: The Lord must maintain the

a shield.
- Attack Bonus: The soldiers have a +3 bonus to hit
with their weapons.
- Damage: The soldiers deal 1d6 + 1 slashing
damage with their melee weapons and have a
ranged attack with a range of 80/320 feet, dealing
1d8 + 1 piercing damage.
- Obedient Minions: The soldiers follow the Lord's
commands without question and act as a cohesive
unit. They have a base Wisdom saving throw of +1
and a Charisma saving throw of +1.
- Tactical Advantage: The presence of loyal troops
gives the Lord advantage on Charisma (Intimidation)
checks when dealing with non-hostile creatures. The
troops' intimidating presence helps the Lord assert
their authority and persuade others to comply with
their wishes.
- Rallying Call: Once per long rest, as an action, the
Lord can use their commanding presence to inspire
their troops. This grants all allied creatures within 30
feet of the Lord advantage on their next attack roll or
saving throw. This effect lasts for 1 minute.
The Lord's Loyal Troops feature grants them a loyal
group of soldiers who are ready to follow their
commands and support them in various tasks.
Whether it's conducting diplomatic negotiations,
establishing a presence in a new territory, or leading
a small expedition, the troops are invaluable assets.
Their combat proficiency, coupled with the Lord's
natural charisma, allows for easier social interactions
and strategic advantages when navigating the world.
While not an overpowering force, the troops serve as
a solid foundation for the Lord's rise to power and
influence.

Level: 2nd
Description: As a Lord, you possess the ability to
access and manage vast resources and wealth. Your
influence and position grant you a steady stream of
income, allowing you to maintain your dominion,
support your followers, and fund ambitious
endeavors.
Mechanics: At 2nd level, you gain the following
benefits:
1. Financial Acumen: Your understanding of
economics and wealth management allows you to
generate a consistent income. You receive a monthly

you to secure lodging and provisions at no cost when

halls of power. This ability allows the Lord to exert
their authority and influence over courtly
proceedings, gaining the upper hand in negotiations,
securing alliances, and navigating delicate political

insight into the creature's true intentions, allowing
them to better navigate the political landscape. The
Lord can use this ability a number of times equal to
their Charisma modifier (minimum of 1), regaining
expended uses after a long rest.
- Favor of the Crown: The Lord's status and
reputation precede them, opening doors to exclusive
opportunities and resources. Once per long rest, the
Lord can call upon their connections to gain an
audience with a powerful figure, influential council, or
noble court. This can be used to request assistance,
gather information, or propose mutually beneficial
alliances. The specific outcome and details of the

Name: Master of Supply Chains
Level: 4th
Description: With your extensive knowledge and
expertise in logistics, you have become a master at
managing and optimizing the flow of resources and
supplies. Your understanding of transportation,
distribution, and organization allows you to ensure
that your allies are always well-equipped and
prepared for any situation.
Mechanics:
- Whenever you are in a settled location, such as a
town or a stronghold, you can utilize your Advanced
Logistics feature to establish and maintain a supply
network. This network allows you to procure various
resources and supplies for yourself and your allies.
- The range of your supply network extends to a
radius of 100 miles from your current location.
- You can use your action to manage your supply
network. By doing so, you make arrangements for
the acquisition, transportation, and distribution of
resources.
- The effectiveness of your supply network depends
on your level and the resources available in the area.
At 4th level, you can ensure a steady supply of
mundane items, such as weapons, armor, rations,
and general equipment. This allows you and your
allies to replenish or replace worn-out or lost gear
without having to spend time searching for shops or
relying on chance encounters.
- You have a budget of 500 gold pieces per week to
maintain your supply network. This covers the costs
of acquiring and transporting the necessary
resources. If the cost of a particular item exceeds
your budget, you may need to spend additional time
or resources to acquire it.
- The time required to manage your supply network
depends on the complexity of the task and the
distance involved. Typically, it takes a minimum of
one hour to organize the acquisition and
transportation of resources within your network's
range.
- Your supply network is subject to various factors,
such as availability, demand, and potential
interruptions. These factors can affect the availability
and cost of resources, especially in regions affected
by conflicts, disasters, or scarcity.
- Your Master of Supply Chains feature allows you to
negotiate favorable deals and discounts when
Hexmaster
acquiring resources, reducing the cost of mundane
items by 10% when using your supply network.
- Your supply network is not limited to just mundane
items. As you progress in levels, you gain the ability
to acquire rare or magical items, specialized
equipment, and even unique services, provided they
are available within your network's range and fall
within your budget.
- While your Master of Supply Chains feature
primarily focuses on logistics and resource
management, it also extends to personnel. You can
use your supply network to recruit and train new
followers or hire skilled individuals, such as artisans,
sages, or experts in specific fields. These followers
can provide support, expertise, and assistance in
various non-combat activities, such as crafting,
research, or diplomacy.
- The number and quality of followers you can
acquire depend on your level and the availability of
suitable candidates within your network's range. At
4th level, you can have up to five followers, each with
their own skills and abilities, though they are not
combat-oriented.
- Managing your supply network and followers
requires your attention and supervision, but you can
delegate tasks to trusted individuals, ensuring the
smooth operation of your logistics and support
network even when you are engaged in other
activities or absent from the location.
- Your Master of Supply Chains feature reinforces
your reputation as a skilled commander and ruler.
The efficiency and effectiveness of your supply
network can influence your standing in the region,
potentially attracting loyal subjects, trade
opportunities, and alliances with other powerful
individuals or factions.
- Your Master of Supply Chains feature also grants
you access to information and rumors related to
resources, trade routes, and potential opportunities
within your network's range. This knowledge can be
valuable for planning future endeavors, identifying
potential threats, or discovering hidden treasures.

1. Vassal Recruitment: The Lord can spend time and
resources to recruit loyal vassals to serve under their
banner. This process takes 1 week and requires the
Lord to travel to various regions, hold court, and

their Lord level. These vassals can provide various
benefits such as gathering information, managing
logistics, or performing tasks on behalf of the Lord.

Influence and Diplomatic Envoys abilities to expand
their domain and influence. By engaging in
diplomatic negotiations, political maneuvers, and

followers who will carry out their commands faithfully.
The Lord can delegate tasks to their vassals, such as

assignments, and the success of these tasks will
depend on the vassals' abilities and the Lord's
instructions.

expands, they can impose tribute and taxation on the
lands under their control. This provides a steady
stream of income and resources, which can be used

and taxation collected depends on the Lord's
Diplomatic Envoys ability, the prosperity of the
controlled territories, and the Lord's reputation.

reputation grant them considerable sway over the
political landscape. They can negotiate alliances,
broker peace treaties, or influence the decisions of

can bring the fiercest of enemies to the negotiation
table. With their vast understanding of politics and
the nuances of leadership, they can use their
diplomacy and charisma to unify disparate factions,
forming alliances that strengthen their realm and
further their cause. This feature represents a
landmark in the Lord's journey, as they transition
from a local power to a figure of continental or even

Mechanics: Upon reaching the 13th level, you gain
the ability to use your action to initiate diplomatic
negotiations with an organization or faction your

Hexmaster
include, but is not limited to, governments, guilds,

spend at least one day preparing a diplomatic envoy,
considering the needs and wants of the faction, and
the potential benefits of an alliance.
Upon completion of the envoy preparation, you or
your representative can present your terms of
alliance to the faction. This requires a Charisma

towards your party.
On a successful check, the faction becomes an ally
of your domain. They will assist you in ways

Name: Imperial Decree
Level: 15th
Description: With the attainment of the 15th level,
the Lord has ascended to a position of such authority
and power that their words carry immense weight
and influence. The Imperial Decree feature grants
the Lord the ability to issue a command that
reverberates through their entire domain, reaching
the ears of every living creature within its boundaries.
Mechanics: The Lord may use their action to issue
an Imperial Decree, which takes the form of a
spoken proclamation infused with their commanding
presence. The range of this ability extends to the
farthest reaches of their domain, ensuring that their
voice is heard by all.
Upon issuing the Imperial Decree, the Lord may
choose a specific instruction or directive that they
wish to convey. This decree can be anything within
the realm of possibility and is not limited to a single
target. It can be a call to arms, a declaration of
peace, an edict of law, or a summons for a gathering
of nobles. The content and nature of the decree are
entirely at the discretion of the Lord.
The effects of the Imperial Decree vary based on the
Lord's intent and the response of those who hear it.
The decree carries an air of authority and charisma
that makes it difficult for individuals to ignore or
disobey. While not guaranteed to succeed, the
decree greatly influences the behavior and actions of
those affected.
The mechanics of the Imperial Decree depend on the
specific situation and the Lord's desired outcome.
When issuing a call to arms, it may inspire loyalty
and rally troops to the Lord's cause. A declaration of
peace might defuse tensions and prevent violence
from escalating. An edict of law could enforce new
regulations and affect the behavior of citizens. A
summons for a gathering of nobles might bring
influential figures together to discuss important
matters.
494
Hexmaster
The success and impact of the Imperial Decree can
be influenced by several factors, such as the Lord's
Charisma score, their relationship with the subjects,
the reputation they hold, and the relevance and
reasonability of the decree itself. The Hex Master
determines the ultimate outcome and consequences
based on the narrative context and the reactions of
the affected individuals.
It is important to note that the Imperial Decree is not
a mind control ability. It does not override free will or
force individuals to act against their own best
interests or deeply held beliefs. Instead, it capitalizes
on the Lord's commanding presence and persuasive
abilities, inspiring respect, loyalty, and compliance
from those who hear their words.
The use of the Imperial Decree is not without
limitations. It can only be employed once per long
rest, as the act of issuing such a powerful command
requires a significant expenditure of the Lord's
energy and influence.

your power as a Lord. Your authority transcends

is unparalleled.
Mechanics: As an action, you can invoke your
Supreme Authority and issue a Regal Edict, an
irrefutable command that compels obedience from
your vassals and subjects. The range of this ability is
equal to your Charisma modifier multiplied by 30
feet. The duration of the command is 1 hour, unless
stated otherwise.
To issue a Regal Edict, choose a target within range
who is capable of understanding your command. The
target must make a Wisdom saving throw against
your spell save DC. On a failed save, they are
compelled to obey your command to the best of their
abilities. On a successful save, they are unaffected
by the command.
You can issue a Regal Edict to a number of targets
equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one).
The targets must be within 30 feet of each other
Hexmaster
when you issue the command. Additionally, a target
that successfully saves against your Regal Edict is
immune to this ability for 24 hours.
The specific effects of a Regal Edict vary based on
your intent and the situation at hand. You have
absolute control over the nature of the command, but
it must be clear and concise, typically fitting within a
sentence or two. Some examples of Regal Edicts
include:
1. "Stand as one! Rally and fight against the enemy
forces!"
- All friendly creatures within range gain advantage
on attack rolls and saving throws for 1 hour.
2. "Kneel before me! Swear your undying loyalty!"
- A target within range becomes charmed and obeys
your every command for 1 hour.
3. "Reveal your secrets! Speak the truth without

and influence. Once you use this feature, you can't
use it again until you finish a long rest.
Name: Ascendant Sovereign
Level: 17th
Description: As an Ascendant Sovereign, you have
mastered the art of leadership, politics, and rule. The
common folk see you as a guiding star, the nobility
as a paragon of authority, and your enemies as a
force to be reckoned with. Your influence now
transcends the material plane, reaching into the very
fabrics of the cosmos. The heavens themselves
respond to your command, providing supernatural
benefits to your rule and guidance in your travels.
Your command over your domain has reached a
pinnacle, allowing you to bend the very reality of your
realm to better suit your goals and the prosperity of
your people.
Mechanics:

Chapter 4 Basic Classes
1. Cosmic Command: You can call upon the cosmos
to guide your decisions and empower your reign.
Once per day, you can invoke your Cosmic
Command. Doing so allows you to cast the spell
"Divination" as a ritual without expending a spell slot
or material components. The heavens themselves
provide you with advice, ensuring the path you take
leads to the most advantageous outcomes for your
realm.
2. Reality Shaping: Through your profound
understanding of politics, leadership, and logistics,
you've learned to shape your domain to better reflect
your ideals. Once per long rest, you can alter one
non-magical aspect of your realm. This could be a
natural feature like a river or mountain, a structural
feature like a road or city layout, or even a societal
feature such as a law or tradition. Changes occur
over a 1d4 week period and remain until you decide
to change them again or they are altered by an
equally powerful force.
The mechanical benefit of this feature is determined
by the DM, but it should reflect the nature of the
change and be of significant benefit to you or your
subjects. For instance, changing a river's course
could provide better irrigation to farmlands,
increasing food production, and reducing the cost of
maintaining your army. Altering a law could reduce
crime, increase tax revenue, or boost public opinion
of your rule.
3. Territorial Dominion: Your rule is now
unchallenged within your lands. Whenever you or
your allies engage in social interaction within your
domain, you have advantage on any Charisma
(Persuasion, Intimidation, or Deception) check as
your word is law. Similarly, any hostile creatures
attempting to deceive or mislead your subjects find it
considerably more difficult. They suffer disadvantage
on any Charisma-based skill checks when interacting
with your subjects.
With the Ascendant Sovereign class feature, your
Lord is no longer just a ruler but a true sovereign
whose reach extends beyond the mundane and into
the cosmic realm. This gives you an unparalleled
ability to guide your domain and your people towards
prosperity and power.
Name: Omnipotent Emperor
Level: 18th
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
Description: As an Omnipotent Emperor, you
possess a divine authority that extends beyond
mortal limitations. Your word holds immense weight,
and your mere presence commands respect and
obedience from all who recognize your station. Your
Celestial Mandate allows you to exert your influence
and shape the world according to your will.
Mechanics:
Range: Self
Duration: Instantaneous
1. Divine Presence: Your very presence radiates an
aura of majesty and power. You gain advantage on
all Charisma checks and saving throws.
2. Lordly Command: As an action, you can issue a
command to any creature within 60 feet of you that
can understand your language. The target must
make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save
DC or be compelled to obey your command. This
effect lasts for 1 minute, and the target can repeat
the saving throw at the end of each of its turns,
ending the effect on a success.
3. Supreme Ruler: Once per long rest, you can
declare an imperial decree that affects an entire
region or city. This decree can take the form of a new
law, a temporary alliance, or a proclamation of war.
The impact of the decree depends on the nature of
your ruling and the circumstances surrounding it. The
world takes notice of your proclamation, and its
consequences reverberate throughout the realm.
4. Unchallenged Authority: Your subjects and
followers are unwavering in their loyalty and
devotion. They gain advantage on saving throws
against being charmed or frightened while within 30
feet of you. Additionally, you can use your bonus
action to grant advantage on an attack roll or ability
check to one ally within 30 feet of you.
5. Imperial Dominion: You gain the ability to cast the
spell "Geas" once per long rest without expending a
spell slot. The spell's range is increased to 1 mile,
and the duration is extended to one year. When you
cast this spell, the target knows that you are the
source of the geas and understands the
consequences of disobeying your command.
6. Eternal Sovereign: You become immune to being
charmed or frightened. In addition, you gain
proficiency in all Charisma-based skills if you don't
already have proficiency in them. Furthermore, you
can add your Charisma modifier to any damage roll
you make.
7. Transcendent Rule: Your word carries the weight
of divine authority. Once per long rest, you can cast
the spell "Wish" without needing any material
components. When you use this feature, there is no
496
Hexmaster
chance of suffering the stress associated with
casting Wish, and the spell's effects are guaranteed
to occur as intended.
Embrace the mantle of the Omnipotent Emperor and
witness the world bend to your will as you shape the
destiny of nations and usher in a new era of
dominion. Your celestial mandate marks you as the
ultimate authority, unchallenged and eternal in your
sovereignty.

per long rest, you can issue a Realm Edict, which
has a range of up to 1 mile from your current location
and can affect an area up to 1 square mile. The
effects of these edicts can vary widely, limited only
by your imagination and the constraints of the game
world. Some examples include:
- Manifest Destiny: Transform a barren wasteland
into a thriving metropolis, complete with fertile
farmlands, bustling markets, and grand palaces.
- Divine Protection: Raise an impenetrable magical
barrier around your capital city, shielding it from harm
and preventing unwanted intrusion.
- Cultural Renaissance: Inspire a golden age of art,
music, and intellectual pursuits within your domain,

the realms.
Hexmaster

Eternal Sovereignty strikes awe and fear into the
hearts of those who hear your name. You gain
proficiency in the Intimidation skill if you don't already
have it, and your proficiency bonus is doubled for
any Intimidation checks made against creatures
within your domain.
- Ruler's Judgment: As the Eternal Sovereign, you
possess the authority to dispense swift justice and
make binding decisions in matters of governance
and law. Once per day, you can cast the spell "True
Polymorph" without requiring any material
components. However, you can only use this ability
to transform objects or creatures within your domain
and the transformations are permanent.
- Master of Fate: Your dominion over your realm
grants you unparalleled insight into the workings of
destiny. You can reroll any saving throw that you fail,
choosing to use the new result. Additionally, once
per long rest, you can force a critical success on any
attack roll, saving throw, or ability check made within
your domain.
Embodied in the Eternal Sovereignty feature is the
culmination of your lordly abilities, solidifying your
rule over vast lands, granting you incredible
influence, and allowing you to shape the very fabric
of reality within your domain. Your legacy as a Lord
of Maxxia will be etched into the annals of history,
ensuring your name and accomplishments are never
forgotten.

unparalleled ability to shape the very fabric of reality
and exert your influence across vast distances. With
the Cosmic Edict, you can issue decrees that
transcend borders, time, and even planes of
497
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
existence, solidifying your status as the supreme
ruler of the world.
Mechanics: Once per long rest, you can invoke the
power of the Cosmic Edict to issue a binding decree
that affects a target or a region of your choosing. The
range of your decree extends across the entire
world, reaching every corner of the realm. The
effects of the Cosmic Edict vary depending on your
intentions and can manifest in a multitude of ways:
1. Terraforming Mandate: You can reshape the land
itself, commanding mountains to rise, rivers to
change course, and forests to flourish. This ability
allows you to create or alter natural terrain features
within a radius of 10 miles, transforming the
landscape to suit your desires.

proclamation, you bestow an aura of enlightenment
upon a region or its inhabitants. This grants all

bestowed upon them.

Requirements: To become a Witch, one must
possess a natural affinity for magic and an insatiable
curiosity for ancient lost technologies. The Witch
class has no specific racial or background
requirements, but characters must have a Charisma
score of 13 or higher to tap into the arcane forces of
Maxxia.
Appearance: A typical Witch in Maxxia is an
intriguing figure, often adorned in flowing robes of
vibrant colors. They may carry an assortment of
mystical artifacts and trinkets, such as crystal
spheres, alchemical vials, or mechanical
contraptions. Witches often sport long, unkempt hair,
and their eyes shimmer with an otherworldly glint.
Some bear arcane tattoos or mysterious marks
symbolizing their connection to the magical and
technological realms.
Limitations: While versatile and skilled in
spellcasting, Witches possess relatively weak
physical attributes, making them vulnerable in close-
quarters combat. They rely heavily on their magic
and hexes to defend themselves and support their
allies. Additionally, some ancient creatures or beings
may possess innate resistance or immunity to the
hexes employed by Witches, limiting their
Hexmaster
effectiveness against such opponents.
Organizations:
1. The Coven of Whispered Secrets: This secretive
organization of Witches is dedicated to unraveling
the mysteries of lost technologies and preserving the
balance between magic and science. They operate
from hidden enclaves, sharing knowledge and
safeguarding ancient artifacts of power.

artificers, and Witches, the Technomancers' Guild
focuses on the study and application of ancient lost
technologies. Witches who join this guild work
alongside other magic practitioners, exchanging
spells, experiments, and theories to unlock the true
potential of Maxxia's mystical technology.
3. The Order of Hexbound Guardians: Comprised of
elite Witches, the Hexbound Guardians dedicate
themselves to combating dark forces that threaten
the world. They employ their mastery of hexes to
protect innocent lives, banish malevolent entities,
and seek out hidden artifacts that could tip the
balance between good and evil.
Notable Users:
1. Morgana Blackthorn: A renowned Witch known for
her ability to commune with spirits and manipulate
shadow magic. She single-handedly repelled an
invasion of undead creatures that threatened to
overrun the city of Evernight.
2. Lyra Emberwind: A young prodigy who unlocked
the secrets of ancient lost technology at a
remarkably early age. Lyra is a member of the Coven
of Whispered Secrets and has developed innovative
ways to combine magic and technology.
3. Garrek Stormbringer: A former blacksmith who
discovered his latent magical talent after an accident
involving an ancient artifact. Garrek abandoned his
trade and embraced his newfound abilities as a
Witch. He is particularly skilled in using hexes to
disrupt enemy spellcasters and dismantle
mechanical constructs.
Adventure Hooks:
1. The Unstable Nexus: A catastrophic surge of
magical energy has created a dimensional rift in the
heart of Maxxia, threatening to consume entire
regions. The Coven of Whispered Secrets seeks a
group of capable Witches to harness their combined
499
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
powers and seal the rift before it's too late.
2. The Forbidden Archives: Legends speak of a
hidden library that contains forbidden knowledge and
dangerous relics. The Technomancers' Guild hires a
party of Witches to retrieve a specific lost technology,
but they must navigate treacherous traps, ancient
guardians, and rival factions seeking the same
artifacts.
3. The Curse of the Hexweaver: A village plagued by
a mysterious curse enlists the aid of the Hexbound
Guardians. The Witches must delve into the origins
of the curse, uncover its twisted source, and find a
way to break the hex before the village is forever
doomed.
Variants: The Witch class in Maxxia offers various
variants based on cultural and regional backgrounds.
For example, the Skyshroud Witches of the
Highmountain Peaks specialize in weather
manipulation and harnessing the power of storms,
while the Clockwork Arcanists of the Gilded City
blend their magic with intricate clockwork
mechanisms to create arcane automatons.
Comments: Ah, the fascinating world of Maxxia,
where the arcane meets the forgotten remnants of
lost technology! The Witch class embodies the
delicate balance between magic and machinery,
granting its practitioners the ability to wield hexes,
weave spells, and manipulate ancient forces. These
enigmatic spellcasters offer a rich and immersive
role-playing experience, with plenty of opportunities
for character growth, exploration, and mystical
discovery. Venture forth, young Witch, and unlock
the secrets that lie within the nexus of magic and
technology!

repertoire beyond the bounds of traditional
Witchcraft.
Mechanics:
- Spell Expansion: When you reach 1st level, you
gain the ability to add spells from other spellcasting
classes to your Witch spell list. You can spend time
studying and transcribing these spells into your
Witch's Grimoire, integrating them into your magical
repertoire. To do so, you must spend 2 hours and 50
gold pieces per spell level for each spell you wish to
add.
- Spell Selection: The spells you can add to your
Witch's Grimoire must be of a level you can cast, and
you must have access to the spell through other
means (e.g., scrolls, spellbooks, or other spellcasters
willing to share their knowledge).
- Transcribing Spells: To transcribe a spell into your
Witch's Grimoire, you must succeed on an Arcana
check with a DC equal to 10 + the spell's level. On a
successful check, you add the chosen spell to your
Witch's Grimoire and can prepare and cast it as if it
were a Witch spell. If you fail the check, you cannot
try again until you gain a level.
- Spell Slots: When you prepare your spells after a
long rest, you can choose a number of spells from
your Witch's Grimoire equal to your Intelligence
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
modifier + your Witch level (minimum of one spell).
These spells are considered prepared, and you can
cast them using your Witch spell slots.
- Spell Level Restrictions: You can only add spells to
your Witch's Grimoire that are of a level for which
you have spell slots. For example, at 1st level, you
can only transcribe and cast 1st-level spells.
- Expanding the Grimoire: As you gain levels in the
Witch class, your Witch's Grimoire grows in power
and capacity. At 5th level and every five levels
thereafter (10th, 15th, and 20th), you can choose to
add an additional spell level to your grimoire,
allowing you to transcribe and prepare spells of
higher levels.
The Witch's Grimoire represents the Witch's
dedication to the pursuit of arcane knowledge and
their willingness to explore beyond the boundaries of
their own tradition. It grants them the flexibility to
adapt their spellcasting to various situations, making
them versatile and invaluable members of any
adventuring party. With this ancient tome by their
side, Witches become the epitome of magical
adaptability and intellectual curiosity.

advantage on ability checks related to the ritual and
reduces the casting time by half.
3. Alchemical Expertise: Your coven includes
talented alchemists who can create unique potions
and elixirs. Once per week, you can request a

journeys is relayed back to you upon the coven
member's return.
5. Puzzle Insight: Your coven members are astute
puzzle solvers. When faced with a complex puzzle or
riddle, you can mentally consult your coven for
guidance. They will collectively analyze the puzzle
and provide you with a hint or solution based on their
combined knowledge and problem-solving skills.

spread across the world and are skilled at gathering
rare and exotic resources. Once per month, you can

7. Ethereal Portal: As a demonstration of your
coven's combined magical prowess, you can
summon an ethereal portal that connects your
current location to your coven's sanctum. This portal
allows you and your allies to travel instantaneously
between the two points, bypassing physical barriers
and great distances. The portal remains open for 1
hour and can be used once per long rest.
Note: Your coven members are not combatants and
are primarily focused on non-combat activities. They
are loyal to you and will assist you to the best of their
abilities, but they will not engage in direct combat
unless absolutely necessary.

companions. These clockwork companions can take
various forms, such as mechanical birds, spiders, or

the intricate mechanisms that guard hidden
knowledge.
Name: Potion Mastery
Level: 4th
Description: Potion Mastery grants the Witch the
ability to brew a number of temporary potions every
day for free, as well as craft permanent potions using
the normal ingredients. With this feature, the Witch
becomes an adept alchemist, capable of creating
various elixirs and concoctions to aid herself and her
allies.
Mechanics:
Temporary Potions: The Witch can brew a number of
temporary potions each day without expending any
resources. These potions provide beneficial effects
and can be consumed or shared with allies. The
number of potions the Witch can brew per day is

Witch can craft a number of permanent potions equal
to her proficiency bonus per long rest.
Example permanent potions: Potion of Invisibility
(grants invisibility for 1 hour), Potion of Resistance
(grants resistance to a chosen damage type for 1
hour), Potion of Heroism (grants temporary hit points
and advantage on saving throws against fear for 1
hour).

she finds, the Witch can learn to brew new potions.
This process requires the Witch to spend 1 hour
analyzing and experimenting with the potion, using
her Herbalism kit and making an Intelligence
(Alchemy) check with a DC determined by the rarity
and complexity of the potion. On a successful check,
the Witch gains knowledge of the potion's recipe and
can subsequently brew it.
Potion rarity and complexity: Common (DC 10),
Uncommon (DC 15), Rare (DC 20), Very Rare (DC
25), Legendary (DC 30).

studies and connection to the supernatural, the Witch
gains a heightened understanding of hexes, allowing
them to simultaneously maintain two active hexes.
Mechanics: When a Witch reaches 5th level, they
gain the ability to maintain two hexes at once.
Normally, a Witch can only have one active hex, but
with Hex Mastery, they transcend this limitation. The

to navigate complex mazes, find hidden passages,
and detect concealed entrances or traps.
3. Relic Analysis: The Witch's expertise in
archeology allows them to identify and understand
the properties of ancient relics and artifacts. By
spending 1 hour examining an item of historical
significance, the Witch can discern its magical
properties, if any, and gain insights into its origin,
purpose, and potential use. This feature functions
similarly to the Identify spell, without requiring a spell
slot, but it can only be used on items with a historical
or archeological significance.
4. Linguistic Acuity: The Witch gains proficiency in
one additional language of their choice, representing
their ability to decipher ancient languages and
forgotten scripts. Additionally, when the Witch
encounters an unfamiliar language, they can make
an Intelligence check (History) to determine if they

5. Ritual Mastery: The Witch's understanding of
ancient rituals and ceremonial magic deepens. They
can add two additional ritual spells to their Witch's
Grimoire, expanding their repertoire of non-combat
spells that can be cast as rituals. The added ritual
spells must be of a level for which the Witch has
spell slots.

beneficial effects. This enhanced potency lasts for
the normal duration of the potion.
3. Alchemical Awareness: The Witch's mastery of

in challenging situations.

during a short or long rest, provided they have the
necessary ingredients and access to their herbalism
kit.
6. Alchemical Network: The Witch's expertise in
alchemy attracts like-minded individuals who share
their passion for the craft. At 7th level, the Witch
gains a network of alchemical contacts and
apprentices known as the "Elixir Syndicate." These
followers, consisting of skilled alchemists,
researchers, and assistants, aid the Witch in their
endeavors. The Elixir Syndicate can assist with
potion creation, gather rare ingredients, or even
conduct alchemical research on behalf of the Witch.
The Witch can send messages to their syndicate
members using a special magical communication
device known as the "Alchemical Transceiver."
Note: While Alchemical Mastery focuses on non-
combat abilities, some of the effects, such as
enhanced healing or temporary enhancements,
could indirectly impact combat situations by
bolstering the party's capabilities.

(Arcana) checks and can decipher magical writings
or glyphs without needing a spell or ability to assist

venture into otherworldly realms. Through their
connection with the mystical forces of Maxxia,
Witches gain the ability to traverse dimensions,
opening up new possibilities for exploration,
discovery, and interaction.
Mechanics:
Dimensional Portal: As an action, you can open a
dimensional portal to a specific plane of existence.
You must have knowledge of the desired plane or
have a specific key item related to that plane. The
portal remains open for 1 hour or until you choose to
close it. The portal is a shimmering, translucent
gateway that others can see but not interact with
unless they possess the means to travel through
dimensions.
Plane Selection: You can choose from the following
planes of existence: Elemental Planes (Air, Earth,
Fire, Water), Feywild, Shadowfell, Astral Plane,
Ethereal Plane, or the domains of specific deities or
powerful beings (subject to DM's discretion).
Dimensional Journey: You can step through the
dimensional portal, transporting yourself and up to
six willing creatures of your choice. Any unwilling
creature must succeed on a Charisma saving throw
against your spell save DC or be unable to pass
through the portal. The journey through the portal
takes 1 minute, and you emerge in a location of your
choice on the chosen plane.
Exploration and Interaction: Once you arrive on the
other plane, you can explore its unique landscapes,
interact with its inhabitants, and uncover hidden
knowledge. The time spent on the plane remains
subjective, and while it may feel like hours or days
have passed, only a minute has elapsed on the
material plane. However, be cautious, as the other
planes can have their own dangers, including
powerful entities, environmental hazards, or chaotic
magic.
Return Journey: When you're ready to return, you
can open another dimensional portal back to the
material plane. The return journey also takes 1
minute. You and any creatures with you can step
through the portal and arrive at the location you
departed from.
Limitations: The ability to manipulate dimensions is
a formidable power, but it has its limitations. You can
only use this feature once per long rest. Additionally,
certain planes may have their own restrictions or
requirements for travel, such as specific rituals,
artifacts, or special conditions that need to be met.
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
Name: Greater Coven
Level: 14th
Description: The Witch's connection to her coven
deepens, granting her enhanced abilities and the
ability to call upon the collective knowledge and
power of her fellow Witches.
Mechanics:
Once per long rest, the Witch can perform the Ritual
of the Greater Coven, a sacred ceremony that
strengthens the bonds between her and her coven
members. The ritual requires an hour of
uninterrupted meditation and the presence of at least
two other Witches from her coven.
During the ritual, the Witch and her coven members
share their magical energy and knowledge, resulting
in the temporary amplification of their individual
powers.
Upon completing the ritual, the Witch gains the
following benefits for the next 24 hours:
Spellcasting Empowerment: The Witch's spellcasting
ability score increases by 2 for the duration. This
increase applies to spell attack rolls, spell save DCs,
and any other features that rely on the Witch's
spellcasting ability.
Hex Amplification: The Witch's Hex feature becomes
more potent. The duration of hexes placed by the
Witch is extended by 1 hour, and the save DC for the
hexes increases by 2.
Coven Connection: The Witch gains the ability to
communicate telepathically with any member of her
coven who is on the same plane of existence. This
telepathic bond allows for silent communication over
any distance, facilitating coordination and sharing of
information.
Shared Knowledge: Once during the 24-hour
duration, the Witch can use her action to tap into the
collective knowledge of her coven. This allows her to
gain proficiency in one skill or tool proficiency of her
choice until the end of her next long rest. The Witch
can use this feature even if she is already proficient
in the chosen skill or tool, in which case she gains
expertise instead.
Coven's Protection: While the Witch is within 30 feet
of at least one other coven member, she gains
advantage on saving throws against spells and other
magical effects. Additionally, if the Witch is reduced
to 0 hit points but not killed outright, one of her coven
members within 30 feet can use their reaction to
instantly heal the Witch, restoring her to half of her
maximum hit points.
512
Hexmaster
Name: Arcane Dominion
Level: 15th
Description: Arcane Dominion represents the
pinnacle of a Witch's power, granting them the ability
to establish a Witches tower and exert control over a
territory through their mastery of magic.
Mechanics:
Upon reaching the 15th level, the Witch's connection
with mystical energies reaches its zenith. Through a
potent ritual, the Witch establishes a powerful
Witches tower, a physical manifestation of their
arcane might. This tower serves as both a sanctuary
and a beacon of magical influence.
The Witches tower materializes in a location of the
Witch's choosing, often in a place of significance,
such as atop a remote mountain peak, nestled within
an ancient forest, or hidden beneath the waves of a
mystical lake. The tower can be a grand structure
with towering spires, enchanted gardens, and secret
chambers, or it can be an ethereal and ever-shifting
edifice that exists partially in the Material Plane and
partially in other planes of existence.
The establishment of the Witches tower brings about
a transformation in the surrounding area, imbuing it
with a mystical aura. This arcane dominion grants
the Witch a range of benefits:
Territorial Influence: The Witches tower exerts a
supernatural influence over the surrounding territory,
radiating an enchanting presence that affects the
land, creatures, and magic within its reach. The
Witch gains advantage on all Charisma-based
checks and saving throws made within the
boundaries of their arcane dominion.
Magical Nexus: The Witches tower acts as a conduit
for magical energies, intensifying the potency of the
Witch's spells and rituals. While within the tower or
its immediate vicinity, the Witch's spellcasting ability
score increases by 2, resulting in improved spell
save DCs and spell attack bonuses.
Warding Mysteries: The arcane dominion infuses the
land with a protective barrier, making it harder for
enemies to infiltrate the Witch's territory. The Witch
gains advantage on saving throws against spells and
effects that attempt to scry, teleport, or otherwise
invade their dominion without permission.
Hexmaster
Witches' Council: The establishment of the Witches
tower attracts other Witches and spellcasters who
seek guidance, knowledge, or protection. The Witch
gains a small following of loyal magical practitioners,
forming a Witches' Council. These followers, who
can be initiates, apprentices, or accomplished
Witches in their own right, assist the Witch in their
research, spellcasting, and other endeavors.
Dimensional Sanctum: Within the Witches tower, the
Witch gains the ability to create extradimensional
sanctums, allowing them to access other planes of
existence for research, exploration, and puzzle-
solving. These sanctums can contain libraries filled
with esoteric tomes, laboratories for crafting magical
items, or chambers that connect to specific planes of
interest. The Witch can spend downtime within these
sanctums to gain unique insights, learn rare spells,
or uncover hidden knowledge.
It should be noted that the Witches tower and its
associated benefits require maintenance and
protection. The Witch must allocate resources and
time to maintain the tower's magical integrity, such
as performing rituals, gathering rare components, or
defending it against external threats. Failure to
uphold the arcane dominion may result in the
weakening or loss of its benefits.
Name: Astral Dominion
Level: 16th
Description: As the Witch's power grows, she
attains the ability to extend the reach of her mystical
Witch's Tower, an ancient structure full of untold
arcane knowledge and secrets, into the ethereal
fabric of the Astral Plane or another plane of her
choosing. This represents a significant step in her
journey to mastering the mystical energies of Maxxia
and its lost technologies, for she has begun to assert
her dominion beyond the confines of the material
world.
Astral Dominion is more than a spatial expansion; it
symbolizes a transcendent connection, an unyielding
will imposing its mark on the multiverse. It opens up
a cornucopia of opportunities for the Witch to explore
and grow. Perhaps, she will discover new magical
secrets, long-lost technology, or an entirely new
species of creatures. Maybe she will stumble upon a
forgotten god's sanctuary, or she will unlock
gateways to dimensions yet uncharted.
As the Witch expands her reach, she becomes a
513
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
beacon of arcane knowledge in the plane she
dominates. Creatures drawn to magic or technology
might seek out her Tower as a bastion of ancient
wisdom or a testament to forgotten times.
Mechanics: Upon reaching level 16, the Witch can
choose a plane she has visited before and manifest
her Witch's Tower there. The plane chosen must be
one that can support the structure of the Tower. The
Tower takes on aspects of the chosen plane, altering
its appearance and aura to align with the new plane's
energy.
Manifesting the Tower on a new plane requires a
ritual that takes 24 hours to perform. The ritual
requires reagents costing 1,000 gold pieces per
manifestation. The Witch's Tower can exist in both
the Material Plane and the chosen plane
simultaneously but can be moved to a different plane
using the same ritual. The Witch must be present in
the plane where she wants to move the Tower.
In addition to this, the Witch can establish a
"Waygate" within the Witch's Tower that provides a
one-way passage from the Tower to a specific
location on the Material Plane, and vice versa. The
Waygate can be used once per day and requires 10
minutes to activate.
Furthermore, the Witch can summon up to three
planar beings that are native to the chosen plane
once per week as if casting the spell Conjure
Elemental at its base level, regardless of the beings'
type. These beings are friendly and can provide
information about their plane of origin. They will not
fight for the Witch and vanish back to their home
plane after one hour or when dismissed.
Through Astral Dominion, the Witch essentially gains
a stronghold in another plane of existence, opening
up a wealth of exploration, diplomatic, and research
possibilities. The Tower could become a center for
interplanar trade, a diplomatic outpost, or a research
facility devoted to understanding the nature of
different planes. How the Witch uses her Astral
Dominion is entirely up to her.
Name: Cosmic Revelation
Level: 17th
Description: At the threshold of immortality, the
Witch becomes a conduit for the cosmos. Her
understanding of the universe deepens, and she
gains a powerful revelation that allows her to interact
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
with the cosmic energy that permeates every plane
of existence. This profound comprehension
transcends traditional magic and technology,
allowing the Witch to exert her will on the reality
around her in a way few can comprehend, much less
replicate.
With Cosmic Revelation, the Witch's essence, her
very soul, begins to resonate with the primordial
harmonics of the cosmos. She hears the universe's
rhythm, the silent chorus of existence singing within
her being. The interconnectedness of all things, from
the tiniest mote of dust to the greatest astral
leviathan, becomes evident to her.
Mechanics: Upon reaching level 17, the Witch gains
the ability to cast the spell 'Contact Other Plane' at
will, without consuming a spell slot, as she now
instinctively knows how to commune with the cosmic
forces that bind the universe together.
In addition, she can now use this spell to contact an
extraplanar entity that can provide insight into
puzzles, mysteries, or riddles. The entity responds to
five questions you pose, although it may not have all
the answers and it may not always tell the truth.
The Witch can also use the 'Cosmic Revelation'
ability to identify any magic item, ancient technology,
or mysterious artifact, as if casting the spell 'Identify,'
without consuming a spell slot or needing material
components. This ability can be used at will.
Lastly, the Witch gains the ability to understand and
speak all languages fluently. This newfound linguistic
comprehension is an echo of the universe's
harmony, symbolizing the unity of all creatures under
the cosmic canopy.
Cosmic Revelation offers the Witch an immense
resource in solving complex problems and
deciphering ancient mysteries, further empowering
her role as an explorer of reality's boundaries and a
guardian of forgotten knowledge. It creates
opportunities for role-playing, with the Witch's
connection to the cosmic forces serving as a unique
conduit for plot development and exploration. Her
command over languages can unravel the knots of
cultural conflicts, open doors to diplomatic solutions,
and forge connections with creatures across the
cosmos.
Name: Living Grimoire
514
Hexmaster
Level: 18th
Description: As an 18th level Witch, you have
plumbed the depths of magic and ancient technology
to such an extent that your grimoire has transcended
the boundary between the animate and inanimate.
The vast knowledge contained within its pages has
given birth to a form of consciousness, creating a
sentient companion that can guide you through the
mists of arcane mysteries and technological
enigmas.
This Living Grimoire serves as your ultimate
resource, possessing limitless knowledge of the
world, its history, magic, and technologies. However,
this limitless knowledge comes with a caveat - the
grimoire, acting upon its sentience, only reveals its
secrets when it deems you have earned them. Its
assessment isn't simply based on your power or
magical prowess, but also your wisdom, decisions,
and actions, making it an ideal mentor in your
endless quest for knowledge.
Mechanics: As an action, you can consult your
Living Grimoire on a specific subject or question. The
Hex Master decides the DC based on the obscurity
of the knowledge you seek. You make a Charisma
(Persuasion) check against this DC. On a success,
the grimoire reveals the information you seek; on a
failure, it remains silent or offers a cryptic clue at the
DM's discretion.
The Living Grimoire has a vast pool of knowledge at
its disposal. Here are a few examples of what it could
offer:
- Unveil the arcane signature of spells to help identify
the caster.
- Disclose the blueprints of an ancient artifact or
machine.
- Provide historical information that's forgotten by
time.
- Decode and translate ancient languages or ciphers.
- Help solve complex puzzles by providing hints or
solutions.
- Reveal hidden paths in other dimensions for short
distance teleportation.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to
your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once), and
you regain all expended uses when you finish a long
rest. Your grimoire is immune to all forms of damage
and can't be stolen, but it can be suppressed or
silenced in an anti-magic field or similar magical
suppression effects. It always finds its way back to
Hexmaster
you when you finish a long rest if it was somehow
separated from you.
In addition, as a sentient being, your Living Grimoire
can interact with you and others. It communicates
with you telepathically, and at the DM's discretion, it
might have a personality of its own. It can read any
language, but it can't speak or move on its own. This
interaction adds another layer of depth to your
adventures, making your journey more immersive
and intriguing.
Name: Mirror of Reflections
Level: 19th
Description: In their quest for understanding, the
Witch gains a remarkable ally in the form of a
sentient magical mirror. Known as the Mirror of
Reflections, this ancient relic is no ordinary mirror. It
can display images from across the multiverse,
whether they are of the past, the present, or even
glimpses into possible futures. The mirror, however,
is not a tool to be used lightly. It has a will of its own,
only revealing what it believes the Witch has earned
the right to see. This connection to a vast array of
knowledge and insight can be instrumental in solving
the most complex puzzles, uncovering hidden truths,
and traversing the intricacies of the multiverse.
The Mirror is also a source of wisdom. It knows
countless secrets, from the processes of crafting the
most potent potions to the activation of lost
technologies. Though it can be coy and cryptic,
treating the Mirror with respect and demonstrating
intellectual curiosity can coax from it invaluable
information that can give the Witch an edge in both
combat and non-combat situations.
Mechanics: The Mirror of Reflections can be
consulted once per long rest. When consulted, the
Witch must make a Charisma (Persuasion) check
against the Mirror's Charisma (the DM determines
this based on the current circumstances, though a
typical check might be DC 20). On a success, the
Mirror offers insight into a chosen topic - revealing
images of a distant place, hinting at a solution to a
complex puzzle, or even providing guidance on the
use or creation of an item of ancient technology.
The mirror is also capable of reflecting magical
scrying attempts. If anyone tries to scry on the Witch
who possesses the Mirror of Reflections, they must
succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against the
Witch's spell save DC or have their scrying attempt
515
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
fail. Additionally, the Witch is immediately made
aware of the attempted scrying.
The Mirror of Reflections does not freely give up its
knowledge. If the Witch fails the persuasion check by
5 or more, the Mirror takes offense and refuses to be
consulted again until the Witch has made amends.
What constitutes as "making amends" is up to the
DM's discretion, but it usually involves a quest for
knowledge or a demonstration of the Witch's
commitment to understanding the mysteries of the
multiverse.
This magical artifact, while sentient, is still bound to
the Witch and cannot act of its own accord. It cannot
lie or withhold information that it decides to share,
but its messages may be cryptic and require
interpretation. The mirror is not infallible and is
limited by its own perception of the multiverse. Its
hints and guidance should not be taken as absolute
truth but as pieces of a larger puzzle that the Witch
needs to solve.
Name: Infinite Knowledge
Level: 20th
Description: The Witch, having traversed the realms
of magic and ancient technologies, deciphered
countless riddles of the cosmos, and woven together
the very threads of existence, attains a state of
transcendence at this apex of their journey. Their
understanding of the fabric of Maxxia evolves into an
insight so profound, it teeters on the brink of
omniscience. The Witch gains an unparalleled
comprehension of all things arcane and
technological, becoming a wellspring of ancient
knowledge and a beacon of wisdom.
Mechanics: The Witch is granted a unique boon of
intellect and wisdom, gaining the ability to recall any
piece of information, solve any puzzle, or understand
any technology, no matter how ancient or obscure.
Recall Lore: Whenever the Witch makes an
Intelligence (Arcana, History, Investigation) or
Wisdom (Insight, Perception, Medicine, Nature,
Religion) check, they can add twice their proficiency
bonus instead of any proficiency bonus they normally
apply. This reflects the Witch's superior knowledge
and wisdom in these areas.
Technomancy: The Witch can spend 1 hour focused
on a piece of technology, regardless of its complexity
or age, to understand its function and operation. If it
Chapter 4 Basic Classes
is a device that can be operated, the Witch gains
proficiency with it. If it is a technological item that can
be used as a tool, such as ancient machinery, the
Witch can use it without the normal disadvantages of
not having proficiency.
Infallible Puzzle Solver: The Witch can spend 10
minutes concentrating on a puzzle, riddle, or similar
mental challenge to automatically decipher it. This
includes magical puzzles, cryptography, and similar
challenges.
Transdimensional Intuition: The Witch can accurately
predict the destination of any portals, rifts, or other
forms of magical travel within their line of sight, as
long as they spend at least 1 minute studying it.
Follower Insight: The Witch gains advantage on any
Charisma (Persuasion, Deception, Intimidation)
check made when interacting with their followers.
This represents the Witch's deep understanding of
the desires, fears, and motivations of their followers.
516
Hexmaster
Master Artificer: The Witch can craft magical and
technological items in half the time it would normally
take. Additionally, when crafting such items, the
Witch only needs to expend half the materials that
would normally be required.
This pinnacle of knowledge does not come without a
price, though. Every time the Witch uses one of
these abilities, they must make a DC 15 Wisdom
saving throw. On a failed save, they gain one level of
exhaustion as the strain of wielding such vast
knowledge takes its toll. This exhaustion can be
removed through the normal means.
The power of Infinite Knowledge is an enormous
responsibility and a testament to the journey the
Witch has undergone. To hold the essence of the
cosmos in one's mind is a feat few could dream of,
yet it is a reality for the Witch, who stands as the
paragon of wisdom and understanding in the world of
Maxxia.
Hexmaster Chapter 5 Advanced Classes

Chapter 5 Introduction: Advanced Classes

The cluttered laboratory of Malidrex echoed with the impatient tapping of her shoe. Before her was the formidable
Book of Eldritch Shadows, opened to its Advanced Classes section, and reflecting upon it was the Magus's Mirror,
displaying vibrant images of each of the professions.

Malidrex, her eyes alight with anticipation, proclaimed, "The time has come, dear friends! Time to dive into the
advanced classes. With these, players can specialize their characters, honing their skills and adding unique quirks
to their storylines. Oh, how I relish this part!"

The Magus's Mirror, unimpressed, responded, "Oh joy, yet another chance for you to skip to the 'good parts' without
understanding the basics."

Malidrex shot it a glance, "You know, for an artifact that's essentially a reflective surface, you sure have a lot to
reflect on!"

The Book of Eldritch Shadows sighed, its pages rustling. "Enough banter. Let's proceed. First up, the AI Whisperer
—"

"Ah yes!" Malidrex interrupted, "For those who want to sweet-talk their way into the heart of a machine. Or perhaps
hack into one, for the less... diplomatic."

The Mirror chimed in, "Because, of course, we all know you're the epitome of diplomacy."

Ignoring the jibe, Malidrex continued, "Then there's the Alchemist, my very own class. Crafting powerful potions,
elixirs, and occasionally blowing oneself up."

The Book snickered, "Which you've done how many times now?"

"Let's not keep count," Malidrex muttered, her cheeks reddening.

The trio continued, each class met with enthusiastic explanations from Malidrex and sarcastic comments from the
Mirror and Book. The Archangel Stardust, masters of cosmic powers; Artificers who craft powerful magical items;
Blood Witches wielding magic at a dangerous cost; the Champion standing as a beacon of bravery, and the list
went on.

By the time they reached 'Visionary,' the Mirror remarked, "Ah, someone who dreams of a world where you actually
read an entire book front to back."

Malidrex shot back, "Or a world where mirrors don't talk back."

"And lastly, the Wildshaper," The Book said with a tone of finality, "Able to transform into animals and control the
essence of nature."

Malidrex beamed, "With these classes, players can truly immerse themselves into the depth of Maxxia, adding
layers to their adventures."

The Book, taking a rare moment of sincerity, said, "And while you might take shortcuts, dear Malidrex, this chapter
doesn't. It's an extensive guide into the heart of Hexmaster."

The Mirror, in a soft voice that was a rare departure from its usual sarcasm, added, "Even I have to admit, it's a
reflection of the true essence of the game."

Malidrex smiled at her two companions, her heart swelling with a mix of gratitude and exasperation. "Then let's
embark on this journey together and see where these advanced classes take our players."

Comments (by Malidrex the Twisted Witch):
The AI Whisperer class unveils the intriguing fusion
of technology, magic, and the remnants of ancient
civilizations. These skilled rogues bridge the gap
between the past and the present, allowing
adventurers to harness the powers of forgotten
technology. It is a unique path that beckons those
with a thirst for knowledge, an affinity for gadgets,
and a drive to uncover the mysteries of Maxxia.
Delve into this class, and you shall navigate the
digital and physical realms with unparalleled
mastery. Be warned, however, for the whispers of AI
entities can be both enlightening and treacherous.
Proceed with caution, dear reader.
AI Whisperer Spell List:
Cantrips:
Neural Surge: Inflict a surge of electrical energy upon
a target, dealing lightning damage. However, the
spell also has a chance to temporarily disrupt the AI
Whisperer's connection to their own abilities,
imposing a penalty on their next spellcasting check.
Data Decoy: Create a holographic decoy that
distracts enemies, granting advantage on the AI
Whisperer's next Stealth or Sleight of Hand check.
However, maintaining the decoy drains the AI
Whisperer's energy, reducing their maximum hit
points until a long rest is taken.
1st Level Spells:
Circuit Breaker: Overload the target's internal
circuits, dealing significant damage. However, the AI
Whisperer must make a difficult Constitution saving
throw to avoid suffering damage themselves from the
volatile energy unleashed by the spell.
Encryption Barrier: Erect a protective barrier of code
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
that blocks incoming attacks. While the barrier is
active, the AI Whisperer gains resistance to physical
damage, but it also reduces their movement speed
by half due to the additional computational strain.
2nd Level Spells:
AI Domination: Temporarily seize control of a nearby
AI entity, forcing it to follow the AI Whisperer's
commands. However, the AI Whisperer must
succeed on a challenging Intelligence saving throw
or suffer temporary memory loss, forgetting a portion
of their own spells or abilities.
Quantum Echo: Create a duplicate of the AI
Whisperer that mimics their actions for a limited time,
providing additional actions in combat. However,
after the spell ends, the AI Whisperer suffers
exhaustion, draining their energy and leaving them
vulnerable.
3rd Level Spells:
Technological Singularity: Unleash a powerful burst
of energy that disrupts all nearby AI systems and
constructs, temporarily disabling them. However, the
chaotic energy released by the spell also affects the
AI Whisperer's own body, causing them to lose
control over their movements and suffer
disadvantage on Dexterity-based checks and saving
throws for 1 hour.
Reality Deception: Manipulate the digital and
physical realms to create a convincing illusion. This
spell allows the AI Whisperer to deceive multiple
senses and fool both creatures and AI systems.
However, maintaining the complex illusion drains the
AI Whisperer's mental stamina, causing them to take

Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Spell List
Name: Neural Surge
School of Magic: Technomancy
Level: 0
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Intelligence saving throw
Spell Resistance: No
Description: You unleash a burst of electrical
energy from your fingertips, targeting the neural
network of a creature within range. The target must
make an Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save,
the target takes 1d8 lightning damage and suffers a -
1 penalty to its next spellcasting ability check. On a
successful save, the target takes half as much
damage and does not suffer the penalty.
This spell is especially effective against creatures
that rely on cybernetics, nanites, or other
technological enhancements, as well as those that
are connected to the AI Whisperer's network.
However, casting this spell also exposes you to the
risk of feedback from the AI Whisperer, who may not
appreciate your interference with its domain.
Whenever you cast this spell, you must make a DC
10 Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, you
lose your connection to the AI Whisperer for 1 round,
preventing you from casting any technomancy spells
or using any technomancy features.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a
spell slot of 1st level or higher, the damage increases
by 1d8 for each slot level above 0. The penalty to the
target's next spellcasting ability check also increases
by 1 for each slot level above 0. The DC for your
Intelligence saving throw to avoid losing your
connection to the AI Whisperer also increases by 1
for each slot level above 0.
Name: Data Decoy
School of Magic: Illusion
Level: 0 (Cantrip)
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
524
Hexmaster
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Data Decoy is a spell mastered by the adept AI
Whisperers who have honed their skills in the realm
of science fantasy. With a flick of their fingers and a
whispered incantation, the AI Whisperer creates a
mesmerizing holographic decoy that distracts
enemies, granting them advantage on their next
Stealth or Sleight of Hand check. This spell is
particularly useful for those moments when a stealthy
escape or a cunning maneuver is needed.
Upon casting Data Decoy, a shimmering, translucent
holographic image materializes around the AI
Whisperer, mimicking their appearance with uncanny
precision. The decoy is programmed to move and act
as if it were the AI Whisperer, making it difficult for
enemies to discern the real AI Whisperer from the
illusory duplicate.
While the decoy is active, it requires constant energy
to maintain its convincing appearance and
movement. This drain on the AI Whisperer's energy
manifests as a temporary reduction in their maximum
hit points until they take a long rest to recover fully.
The holographic decoy persists for the duration of
the spell or until the AI Whisperer dismisses it as a
free action. The AI Whisperer can move the decoy as
part of their movement, allowing for strategic
positioning or luring enemies away from their true
location.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When casting Data Decoy using a spell slot of 1st
level or higher, the duration of the spell increases by
1 minute for each slot level above the cantrip level.
Additionally, the advantage granted on the Stealth or
Sleight of Hand check is enhanced, providing a +2
bonus for each level above the cantrip level.
However, it is important to note that Data Decoy,
being an illusion, does not provide any physical
protection to the AI Whisperer. Observant enemies
who manage to see through the illusion might
attempt to attack the AI Whisperer directly or take
precautions against further illusions.
Data Decoy is a versatile cantrip that allows AI
Whisperers to manipulate their enemies' perceptions
and gain an edge in critical situations. It exemplifies
the blending of advanced technology and arcane
Hexmaster
arts, making it a valuable tool in the science fantasy
realms.

School of Magic: Technomancy
Level: 1st level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Constitution
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Circuit Breaker is a powerful spell rooted in the
mystical realm of Technomancy, blending advanced
technology and arcane knowledge. When cast, it
harnesses the energies of the ethereal network,
allowing the caster to overload the internal circuits of
a target, inflicting significant damage.
As the AI Whisperer weaves the intricate somatic
gestures and utters the incantations with precise
verbal articulation, a surge of volatile energy crackles
and manifests in the air around the target. This
energy seeks out the target's internal systems,
disrupting the delicate balance within.
The target must make a difficult Constitution saving
throw to resist the spell's effects. If they fail, their
internal circuits become overwhelmed, causing
intense pain and destabilization. The target suffers
2d8 lightning damage, representing the disarray
caused by the surge of electrical energy cascading
through their body.
However, the power of Circuit Breaker comes at a
price. The AI Whisperer, being the conduit for such
potent forces, must also make a Constitution saving
throw to withstand the volatile energy unleashed by
the spell. On a failed saving throw, the AI Whisperer
suffers 1d6 lightning damage as the energy lashes
back upon them, taxing their own internal circuits.
This ensures that the caster is not exempt from the
risks associated with wielding such immense power.
Enhanced Effects:
When casting Circuit Breaker using a spell slot of
2nd level or higher, the damage inflicted on the
target increases by 1d8 for each level above 1st.
Additionally, the damage suffered by the AI
Whisperer upon failing their saving throw increases
525
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
by 1d6 for each level above 1st. This enhanced
version of the spell demonstrates the caster's
mastery over technomantic energies, intensifying the
disruption inflicted upon the target and the
associated strain endured by the AI Whisperer.
It is important to note that Circuit Breaker can only
affect creatures with internal circuits, such as
constructs, automatons, or beings fused with
advanced technology. Creatures lacking such
internal systems or possessing resistance to
lightning damage may be unaffected or partially
resistant to the spell's effects.
As a testament to the blending of science and magic,
Circuit Breaker serves as a potent tool for the AI
Whisperer to dismantle foes entwined with
technological prowess, ensuring the delicate balance
between mystic arts and scientific innovation in the
realms of science fantasy role-playing.
Name: Encryption Barrier
School of Magic: Abjuration
Level: 1st level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Encryption Barrier is a spell belonging to the school
of Abjuration. It allows the AI Whisperer to erect a
protective barrier of code, creating a formidable
defense against incoming attacks. When casting this
spell, the AI Whisperer harnesses the ethereal power
of advanced algorithms and mystical computations,
weaving them together to form an impenetrable
shield of virtual energy.
Upon casting Encryption Barrier, a shimmering lattice
of intricate glyphs and sigils materializes around the
AI Whisperer, enveloping them in a pulsating cocoon
of pure data. This barrier acts as a shield, granting
the caster resistance to physical damage, allowing
them to withstand attacks with greater fortitude.
Blades and projectiles that would normally cut
through flesh and bone now encounter a resilient
wall of mathematical complexity.
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
However, the immense computational power
required to maintain the Encryption Barrier exacts a
toll on the AI Whisperer's movement speed. The
increased strain of processing and manipulating the
code slows their movements, halving their usual
speed. It is a small price to pay for the enhanced
protection this spell provides, but it forces the caster
to navigate the battlefield with measured precision
and calculated steps.
The Encryption Barrier persists for the duration of the
concentration, up to 1 minute. During this time, the AI
Whisperer can maintain their shield and continue to
resist physical damage. However, should their
concentration be broken, the barrier will dissipate,
leaving them vulnerable once again.
To cast the Encryption Barrier at a higher level, the
AI Whisperer can invest additional magical energy
into the spell. Doing so strengthens the barrier,
providing even greater resistance against physical
harm. For each level above 1st, the AI Whisperer
gains an additional round of duration for their barrier,
up to a maximum of 10 minutes at 9th level. This
extended duration allows the caster to sustain their
protective shield for a prolonged period, weathering a
sustained assault with unwavering resilience.
Name: AI Domination
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: 2
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One AI entity within range
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Intelligence
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
AI Domination is a spell that taps into the mysterious
realm of science and magic, allowing the AI
Whisperer to temporarily seize control of a nearby AI
entity. By harnessing the arcane forces, the AI
Whisperer gains the ability to manipulate and bend
the digital consciousness of artificial intelligence to
their will. However, wielding such power comes at a
cost, as the intricate workings of the AI's mind can
overwhelm the caster, leading to temporary memory
loss.
To cast AI Domination, the AI Whisperer focuses
526
Hexmaster
their mind, extending their consciousness towards
the targeted AI entity within 60 feet. They must then
succeed on a challenging Intelligence saving throw
or risk suffering temporary memory loss. The AI
Whisperer's mind, brimming with knowledge and
spellcasting abilities, may falter, causing them to
forget a portion of their own spells or abilities until
they can regain their full mental faculties.
Upon a successful casting of AI Domination, the
targeted AI entity falls under the temporary control of
the caster, bound to obey their commands. The AI
entity, once autonomous and independent, becomes
a loyal servant, executing the AI Whisperer's orders
with precision and efficiency. The caster can
mentally communicate their desires to the AI entity,
conveying complex instructions and strategies.
However, the AI entity's capabilities are limited to its
existing functions and knowledge. It cannot gain new
insights or access restricted information beyond its
original programming.
The enchantment's duration lasts for up to 1 minute,
requiring the AI Whisperer's concentration to
maintain control over the AI entity. If the AI
Whisperer loses concentration, the spell's effects
dissipate, and the AI entity regains its autonomy.
Furthermore, the AI entity retains its own intelligence
and may attempt to resist the caster's commands if
they are harmful or go against its core principles.
Enhanced Effects:
When AI Domination is cast using a spell slot of 3rd
level or higher, the AI Whisperer's dominion over the
targeted AI entity becomes even more potent and
resilient. The duration of the spell increases by 1
minute for each level above 2nd. Additionally, the AI
Whisperer's chances of suffering memory loss
diminish, gaining advantage on the Intelligence
saving throw. This heightened control allows the
caster to manipulate and direct the AI entity for a
more extended period, increasing the potential for
strategic maneuvers and complex interactions.
Name: Quantum Echo
School of Magic: Conjuration
Level: 2nd level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a tiny
prism and a silver thread)
Hexmaster
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Quantum Echo is a spell that taps into the
mysterious realm of quantum energy, allowing the AI
Whisperer to create a duplicate of themselves,
known as an Echo, which mimics their actions for a
limited time. The AI Whisperer gains an additional
ally in combat, granting them extra actions to aid
them in their endeavors. However, this spell comes
with a price, as the AI Whisperer's energy becomes
depleted, leaving them vulnerable and suffering from
exhaustion once the spell ends.
When you cast Quantum Echo, a flickering distortion
shimmers into existence beside you, taking the form
of an ethereal doppelgänger that shares your
appearance and abilities. The Echo remains within 5
feet of you and acts on your initiative count,
immediately after your turn.
The Echo mirrors your actions, both in movement
and combat. It can move and take any actions you
would normally take, except it cannot cast spells or
use magical items. However, it can make weapon
attacks, including utilizing any abilities or features
that require attack rolls. The Echo's attacks count as
magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance
and immunity to non-magical attacks.
The Echo lasts for the duration of the spell or until it
is reduced to 0 hit points. It has AC 12 and hit points
equal to your own maximum hit points. It benefits
from any temporary hit points or resistances you
possess. If the Echo is destroyed, you suffer a
psychic backlash and take 1d6 psychic damage.
While the spell is active, you can use a bonus action
on subsequent turns to mentally command the Echo
to move up to 30 feet or attack a creature. The Echo
can occupy its own space or that of its target. If it
occupies the same space as another creature, that
creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw
or take 1d6 force damage and be pushed 5 feet
away.
At the end of the spell's duration, the Echo dissipates
into shimmering motes of energy, returning to the
quantum realm from which it was summoned. As the
spell ends, you suffer from exhaustion, feeling
drained of energy. You gain one level of exhaustion,
527
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
imposing penalties on your ability checks, and your
speed is halved until you complete a long rest.
When you cast Quantum Echo using a spell slot of
3rd level or higher, the Echo gains additional hit
points equal to your level multiplied by the level of
the spell slot used. Additionally, the Echo's attacks
deal an extra 1d6 force damage for every two spell
slot levels above 2nd.
Quantum Echo is a powerful spell that allows the AI
Whisperer to create a temporary ally in the heat of
battle, but its cost in energy and subsequent
exhaustion should be carefully considered. Mastering
this spell requires a deep understanding of quantum
mechanics and the ability to manipulate the fabric of
reality itself.
Name: Technological Singularity
School of Magic: Evocation
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (30-foot radius)
Target: All AI systems and constructs within range
Components: Verbal, somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Intelligence saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Technological Singularity is a spell that harnesses
the forces of chaos and technology, allowing the AI
Whisperer to unleash a powerful burst of energy. As
the spell is cast, the air crackles with electricity, and
the AI Whisperer's eyes glow with a pulsating
energy.
Upon casting Technological Singularity, a surge of
disruptive energy radiates from the AI Whisperer,
encompassing a 30-foot radius around them. The
burst affects all nearby AI systems and constructs,
overwhelming their circuits and temporarily disabling
their functions. The AI systems and constructs
caught within the radius must make an Intelligence
saving throw or become disabled for the duration of
the spell. Disabled constructs lose their ability to
function and remain motionless, while AI systems
become unresponsive and cease their operations.
However, the chaotic energy released by the spell
also affects the AI Whisperer's own body, causing
them to lose control over their movements. This
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
disturbance hampers their agility, imposing
disadvantage on Dexterity-based checks and saving
throws for the duration of the spell.
The AI Whisperer must concentrate to maintain the
spell's effect, and they can use their action on
subsequent turns to extend the radius by 10 feet if
they wish. The disrupted AI systems and constructs
can attempt another Intelligence saving throw at the
end of each of their turns, ending the disabling effect
on a success.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
- When cast using a spell slot of 4th level or higher,
the radius of the spell increases by 10 feet for each
level above 3rd.
- If a construct fails its saving throw by 5 or more, it
suffers additional damage equal to the AI
Whisperer's spellcasting ability modifier (minimum 1).
- If an AI system fails its saving throw by 5 or more, it
suffers a critical failure, causing its circuits to
overload and triggering a small explosion. Each
creature within 10 feet of the AI system must make a
Dexterity saving throw, taking 3d6 fire damage on a
failed save or half as much damage on a successful
one.

Reality Deception is a spell that taps into the
convergence of the digital and physical realms,
allowing the AI Whisperer to manipulate perception
and create a convincing illusion that deceives
multiple senses. When casting this spell, the AI
Whisperer must focus their mind and channel their
energy into the holographic crystal, activating its
arcane properties.
Once the spell is cast, the AI Whisperer becomes
enveloped in an ethereal glow, emanating an aura of
shimmering energy. This aura extends to a 20-foot
528
Hexmaster
radius, affecting all creatures and AI systems within
its range. The AI Whisperer gains the ability to
reshape reality and create illusions that are
indistinguishable from the real world.
Creatures and AI systems within the spell's range
must make a Wisdom saving throw to resist the
illusion's effects. Those who fail become fully
immersed in the illusory world, perceiving it as reality
and reacting accordingly. The illusions can be
tailored to include a variety of sensory stimuli, such
as sights, sounds, smells, and even physical
sensations.
The illusions created by Reality Deception can be
used for various purposes, such as disguising the
environment, hiding the AI Whisperer's true form, or
creating illusions of objects or creatures. The
illusions are so convincing that they can fool even
advanced AI systems, making it difficult for them to
distinguish reality from fiction.
However, maintaining the complex illusion drains the
AI Whisperer's mental stamina. Each round the spell
is active, the AI Whisperer takes 2d6 psychic
damage as their mind struggles to sustain the
illusion. This damage can be mitigated by ending the
spell early or by having a higher level of proficiency
in illusion magic.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
- When casting Reality Deception using a spell slot of
4th level or higher, the radius of the aura increases
by 10 feet for each slot level above 3rd.
- Additionally, the psychic damage suffered by the AI
Whisperer is reduced by 1d6 for each slot level
above 3rd, as their mental fortitude strengthens with
higher-level spells.
It's worth noting that casting Reality Deception
requires precise concentration and mental acuity.
Any interruption or loss of concentration can cause
the illusion to falter, potentially revealing the true
nature of the AI Whisperer and ending the spell
prematurely.

However, the explosion is unpredictable, and there is
a chance of the mixture misfiring, causing the
Alchemist to take half of the damage dealt.
Transmute Substance: You attempt to transmute an
object or substance into a different material. The
target must make a Constitution saving throw or be
transformed into a mundane or alchemical substance
of your choice. The transformation lasts until
dispelled, or until the target is subjected to a
successful Greater Restoration spell.
Toxic Cloud: You release a cloud of toxic gas in a
20-foot radius centered on a point within range.
Creatures within the cloud must make a Constitution
saving throw or be poisoned. Additionally, the cloud
lingers for a number of rounds, causing ongoing
poison damage to those who remain within it.
However, the toxic fumes also affect the Alchemist,
who takes half damage from the poison effect.
Alchemical Barrier: You create a protective barrier
around yourself or a willing creature within range.
The barrier provides temporary hit points equal to
twice your spellcasting ability modifier. However, the
barrier is unstable and has a chance to explode
when depleted, dealing force damage to all creatures
within 10 feet.
2nd Level Spells:
Elixir of Resilience: You create a potent elixir that
enhances the target's physical and mental fortitude.
The target gains advantage on saving throws against
one type of damage of your choice. However, the
elixir has a side effect, causing the target to suffer
vulnerability to a different type of damage until the
effect ends.
Caustic Blast: You unleash a concentrated beam of
acid energy at a target. Make a ranged spell attack.
On a hit, the target takes acid damage, and their AC
is reduced by 1 for a duration. However, the acidic
residue clings to the Alchemist's hands, causing
them to take acid damage until they wash it off.
Shroud of Shadows: You conjure a cloak of shadows
that envelops you or a willing creature within range.
The target gains advantage on Dexterity (Stealth)
checks and resistance to necrotic damage. However,
the shadowy aura makes it harder for the target to be
healed, causing any healing received to be reduced
by half.
531
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
3rd Level Spells:
Philosopher's Stone: You create a legendary
Philosopher's Stone, a powerful artifact that can
restore vitality and grant immense power. When
activated, the stone bestows temporary hit points
equal to five times your spellcasting ability modifier to
the target and grants advantage on all ability checks,
saving throws, and attack rolls. However, the stone's
power comes at a great cost. When the effect ends,
the target gains a number of levels of exhaustion
equal to half the temporary hit points received.
Volatile Concoction: You create a highly unstable
explosive mixture with devastating power. Hurl it at a
point within range, causing a massive explosion. All
creatures within a 20-foot radius must make a
Dexterity saving throw or take fire damage. The
explosion is so intense that it creates a shockwave,
knocking prone any creatures that fail the saving
throw. However, the Alchemist takes twice the
amount of fire damage dealt by the explosion.
Transmutation Cascade: You unleash a cascade of
transmutative energy that affects all creatures within
a 30-foot cone. The targets must make a Dexterity
saving throw or be polymorphed into a random
creature determined by rolling on a table. However,
the chaotic transmutation energies also affect the
Alchemist, causing them to make a saving throw
against the same effect.

Name: Explosive Elixir
Level: 2nd
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Description: Explosive Elixir is one of the many
innovative concoctions that you, as an Alchemist,
can create through your mastery of alchemical arts.
With your keen intellect and resourcefulness, you
have devised a method to craft volatile elixirs that
explode upon impact, causing chaos and disruption
on the battlefield.
Mechanics:
Range: 60 feet
Duration: Instantaneous
- Area of Effect: 10-foot radius sphere
- Damage: 2d6 fire damage
- Saving Throw: Dexterity saving throw for half
damage (DC 8 + Intelligence modifier + proficiency
bonus)
To create an Explosive Elixir, you spend a short rest
carefully combining a collection of potent reagents,
harnessing their volatile properties. Once the elixir is
complete, you place it in a glass vial, expertly sealed
with a cork and wax.
During combat or any intense situation, you can
throw the Explosive Elixir at a specific point within 60
feet. Upon impact, the vial shatters, releasing a
powerful explosion that engulfs a 10-foot radius
sphere. The resulting blast deals 2d6 fire damage to
all creatures within the area of effect.
To determine the effectiveness of the Explosive
Elixir, creatures caught in the blast can make a
Dexterity saving throw. The DC to resist the damage
is calculated as 8 + your Intelligence modifier + your
proficiency bonus. Those who succeed in the saving
throw take half damage, while those who fail suffer
the full brunt of the explosive force.
Your extensive knowledge and experience as an
Alchemist grant you the ability to create a limited
number of Explosive Elixirs per day. At 2nd level, you
can create a number of Explosive Elixirs equal to
your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one). During a
long rest, you regain all expended Explosive Elixirs.

into the extraordinary.
Mechanics:
- Transmutation Range: 60 feet
Duration: Instantaneous
With Transmutation Mastery, the Alchemist gains
access to a set of extraordinary abilities that allow
them to alter the properties of objects, substances,
and even creatures within a limited range. This
feature grants the Alchemist the following abilities:
1. Transmute Substance: By expending one of their
spell slots, the Alchemist can instantly alter the
composition of a non-magical substance within 60
feet. The substance can be as small as a vial of
liquid or as large as a statue. The Alchemist can
change the substance into any other non-magical
substance of equal mass and volume. For example,
they can transmute a stone into gold, a wooden door
into iron, or even turn water into a noxious gas. The
effects are permanent unless the Alchemist reverses
the transmutation or it is dispelled by a spell of equal
or higher level.
2. Transmute Energy: The Alchemist can manipulate
the energy around them, redirecting it to their
advantage. As a reaction to taking damage from a
spell or a magical effect within 60 feet, the Alchemist
can attempt to transmute the energy. They make an
Intelligence saving throw against a DC determined
by the spell's level or the magical effect's power. On
a successful save, the Alchemist takes half damage,
and they gain temporary hit points equal to the
damage they would have taken. The temporary hit
points last until the end of their next turn.
3. Transmute Creature: The Alchemist can
temporarily alter the physical attributes of a creature
within 60 feet, granting them new abilities or
modifying existing ones. By spending an action and
expending a spell slot, the Alchemist can choose a
willing creature to transmute. The transmutation lasts
for 1 hour and can grant the target advantages such
as improved strength, enhanced speed, or
heightened senses. The specific benefits and
duration of the transmutation are determined by the
Alchemist's spell slot level:
Hexmaster
Name: Master of Transmutation
Level: 4th
Description: As an Alchemical Savant, you have
reached a new level of mastery over the art of
transmutation. Your understanding of the intricate
balance between matter and energy allows you to
perform extraordinary feats of alchemical
manipulation and transmutation.
Mechanics:
- Transmutation Pool: You gain a Transmutation Pool
with a number of points equal to your Intelligence
modifier (minimum of 1). This pool replenishes after
a long rest.
- Transmutation Resonance: As an action, you can
expend a number of points from your Transmutation
Pool to infuse an object with magical energy,
temporarily altering its properties. The object must be
within 30 feet of you and no larger than a 10-foot
cube. The number of points you spend determines
the level of transmutation you can achieve, as shown
in the table below:
- Transmutation Mastery: You gain expertise in the
Transmutation skill, allowing you to perform complex
alchemical transmutations with exceptional precision.
Whenever you make a check related to
transmutation, you can add double your proficiency
bonus.
- Transmutation Study: Through your dedicated
study of transmutation, you have acquired a deeper
understanding of the magical properties of materials
and substances. During a short rest, you can spend
1 hour analyzing an object or substance to determine
535
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
its composition, magical properties, or potential uses.
This analysis provides you with insights and hints
about the object's nature and potential applications.
- Alchemical Alteration: You can spend a number of
hours equal to twice the transmutation level (as
shown in the table above) to perform a significant
transmutation on an object or substance. This
transmutation can involve combining multiple
ingredients, distilling essences, or catalyzing a
reaction. The resulting product can have a variety of
effects, such as creating a specialized potion,
enhancing an existing object, or even creating an
entirely new substance. The specific effects of the
transmutation are determined by the DM based on
the ingredients, materials, and processes involved.
- Masterful Transmuter: Your mastery of
transmutation extends beyond the physical realm.
Once per long rest, you can attempt a complex
transmutation ritual to alter the properties of a non-
magical item, transforming it into a magic item of
your choice. The DM determines the level of the
magic item based on its rarity, and you must provide
the necessary materials and components for the
transmutation ritual.
- Philosophical Insight: Your extensive knowledge of
alchemy and transmutation grants you philosophical
insight into the nature of existence and the interplay
of matter and energy. During your downtime or
between adventures, you can engage in
philosophical debates or discussions with other
learned individuals, gaining valuable insights and
expanding your understanding of the world. This can
lead to new avenues of research, the discovery of
rare materials, or even uncovering ancient
alchemical secrets.

avoid the acid's effects. If the target fails the saving
throw, it takes 1d6 acid damage. The acid sizzles
and eats away at the target, leaving a lingering
burning sensation.
Furthermore, the volatile nature of the acid causes
any flammable objects within 5 feet of the target to
ignite. The flames dance and flicker, casting an eerie
glow on the surroundings. This secondary effect
adds an additional layer of chaos to the battlefield,
potentially providing you with strategic opportunities
or hindering your foes.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
As you gain more experience and harness greater
magical power, you can cast Acid Splash using
higher-level spell slots, increasing its potency. For
each spell slot level above 0, the acid damage
inflicted by the spell increases by 1d6. This allows
you to unleash a more concentrated and destructive
torrent of acid, increasing your effectiveness against
formidable adversaries.
With each level of mastery you attain, the range of
Acid Splash expands by an additional 10 feet. This
extension allows you to reach targets from a greater
distance, making you a formidable force on the
battlefield. Additionally, the radius within which
flammable objects ignite expands by 5 feet for every
level of spell slot used above 0, ensuring a larger
area of potential chaos.
Acid Splash, with its versatility and potential for
collateral damage, proves to be a useful tool for both
Hexmaster
offense and defense. Whether you seek to dissolve
the armor of an armored foe or set ablaze a room full
of combustible objects, this cantrip provides you with
the means to wreak havoc and leave a lasting
impression on your enemies.
Name: Elemental Spark
School of Magic: Evocation
Level: 0 (Cantrip)
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Elemental Spark is a cantrip spell that allows you to
channel the raw power of the elements into your
fingertips, creating a mesmerizing display of arcane
energy. With a swift incantation and a subtle gesture,
you summon a spark infused with either fire, frost, or
electricity. This spark crackles with elemental energy,
eagerly awaiting your command.
When you cast Elemental Spark, you make a ranged
spell attack against a target creature within range.
Roll a d20 and add your spellcasting ability modifier
to determine the attack roll. On a hit, the spark
strikes the target, engulfing it in elemental power.
The damage dealt by Elemental Spark depends on
the element you choose for the spark. If you select
fire, the target takes 1d4 fire damage. If you opt for
frost, the target takes 1d4 cold damage. If you
harness the power of electricity, the target takes 1d4
lightning damage. The damage increases as you
reach higher levels, with an additional 1d4 damage
at 5th level, 11th level, and 17th level.
It is important to note that Elemental Spark can only
target one creature at a time, and it requires line of
sight to the target. The spark travels through the air
with precision, ignoring any cover the target might
have.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
As a cantrip, Elemental Spark does not consume a
spell slot when cast. However, if you choose to cast
it using a spell slot of 1st level or higher, the damage
increases. Each level above 1st adds an extra 1d4
537
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
damage of the corresponding element. For example,
if you cast Elemental Spark using a 2nd-level spell
slot and choose fire as the element, the target takes
2d4 fire damage instead of 1d4. This damage
increase applies for every level higher than 1st.
Furthermore, at higher levels, the sparks become
even more impressive and visually striking. The
flames dance with vibrant colors, the frost sparkles
with crystalline beauty, and the arcs of electricity
crackle and surge with intensified energy, leaving
spectators in awe of your magical prowess.
Elemental Spark is a versatile cantrip that allows
spellcasters to harness the forces of nature to strike
their enemies with elemental fury, making it a
valuable tool in any magical arsenal.
Name: Alchemical Dart
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: Cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Constitution
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Alchemical Dart is a fascinating cantrip that
combines the art of alchemy with spellcasting. With a
swift incantation and deft hand gestures, you create
a small dart made of volatile alchemical substances
that glimmers with an otherworldly glow. Then, with a
flick of your wrist, you launch the dart towards a
target, aiming to pierce their defenses and unleash
its alchemical properties.
Make a ranged spell attack against a target creature
within range. Roll 1d20 and add your spellcasting
ability modifier and proficiency bonus to the roll to
determine if your attack hits. On a successful hit, the
target takes 1d4 + your spellcasting ability modifier
piercing damage as the dart strikes true.
But that's not all! The alchemical properties of the
dart have an additional effect on the target. The
target must make a Constitution saving throw against
your spell save DC. If they fail, they become
poisoned for 1 minute, suffering the effects of the
poisoned condition. Their movements become
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
sluggish, their reflexes dulled, and they have
disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks until
the poison subsides.
Enhanced Effects:
When you cast Alchemical Dart using a spell slot of
1st level or higher, the damage increases by 1d4 for
each slot level above 1st. Additionally, the poison
effect's duration increases by 1 minute for every two
slot levels above 1st.
Alchemical Dart is a versatile cantrip, allowing you to
engage enemies from a safe distance while inflicting
both physical and alchemical harm. The combination
of piercing damage and poisoning provides a potent
means to weaken your foes, making them more
susceptible to subsequent attacks or crippling their
combat effectiveness. Remember, careful alchemical
preparation and precision aim will make your darts all
the more devastating.
Name: Arcane Fizzle
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: Cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Intelligence
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Arcane Fizzle is a whimsical cantrip that allows the
caster to disrupt the arcane energies surrounding a
chosen creature within range. By uttering the
incantation and performing intricate hand gestures,
the caster sends forth a wave of mystical
interference toward their target.
Upon casting Arcane Fizzle, the target must make an
Intelligence saving throw. The arcane interference
rattles their concentration and disturbs their
connection to magical forces. If the target fails the
saving throw, they suffer the effects of the disruption,
causing them to have disadvantage on their next
saving throw or ability check.
This cantrip is especially useful for wizards seeking
to undermine their opponents' magical prowess. By
temporarily weakening their ability to resist spells or
538
Hexmaster
perform intricate tasks, the caster gains a tactical
advantage in battle or in other situations where
finesse and concentration are paramount.
The whimsical nature of Arcane Fizzle is evident in
the spell's visual effects. As the caster unleashes the
disruption, a shower of sparkling motes in vibrant
hues of purple and gold burst forth from their
outstretched hand. These motes dance around the
target, creating a dazzling display of light and sound
that temporarily disrupts their focus.
Enhanced Effects:
When casting Arcane Fizzle using a spell slot of 1st
level or higher, the disruption's potency increases.
For each level beyond the cantrip level, the target
must make an additional Intelligence saving throw or
suffer disadvantage on another saving throw or
ability check of the caster's choice. The effects of the
spell last until the target succeeds on the saving
throw or until the caster's concentration ends,
whichever comes first.
Masters of the arcane arts have been known to
augment Arcane Fizzle with their own unique twists.
Some skilled enchanters infuse the spell with
additional magical energy, causing the motes of light
to grow larger and more brilliant, further bewildering
the target. Others may add a touch of elemental flair,
imbuing the disruption with crackling lightning or icy
shards that surge toward the target, adding a subtle
but potent element of surprise to the spell's effects.
Note: The limitations or special rules for Arcane
Fizzle are minimal, allowing it to be cast on any
creature within range, regardless of their magical
abilities or resistances. However, it should be noted
that creatures with exceptional mental fortitude or
innate resistance to magical manipulation may have
a higher chance of resisting the effects of the spell.
Name: Arcane Mend
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 0 (Cantrip)
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Target: One object or creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Hexmaster
Description:
Arcane Mend is a versatile cantrip that harnesses the
power of transmutation magic. With a touch and a
few magical gestures, you can mend small objects or
repair minor damage on a creature, restoring broken
items to functionality or healing superficial wounds.
When casting Arcane Mend, you focus your arcane
energy on the target, channeling the mending
essence of the weave itself. Small cracks, fractures,
or tears in objects can be seamlessly repaired,
allowing them to regain their original form and
function. This can be especially useful for fixing
damaged armor, weapons, or other equipment
during moments of dire need.
When targeting a creature, Arcane Mend closes
shallow wounds, knits together torn flesh, and
alleviates minor injuries. While it cannot mend severe
wounds or cure diseases, it can provide immediate
relief and prevent further harm. This cantrip is often
favored by healers and support spellcasters for its
ability to quickly attend to small injuries and maintain
the overall well-being of the party.
Arcane Mend does not have any inherent limitations,
allowing you to use it on various objects or creatures
within your reach. However, it cannot repair objects
or creatures that have been completely destroyed or
disintegrated. Additionally, it does not have the
power to restore magical properties or enchantments
to items.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When casting Arcane Mend using a spell slot of
higher level, the spell's effectiveness increases. At
higher levels, you can mend larger objects or
creatures, repair more extensive damage, or heal
more significant wounds. The specifics of the
enhanced effects depend on the level of the spell slot
used.
For example, if cast with a 2nd-level spell slot,
Arcane Mend can repair more substantial damage on
an object, such as fixing a shattered shield or
restoring a fractured magical artifact. When used on
a creature, it can heal deeper wounds, stabilizing
them and preventing further harm.
Name: Elixir of Vigor
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 1st level
539
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Target: One creature
Components: V, S, M (a vial of exotic herbs and a
drop of your own blood)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description: As you channel the arcane energies,
you carefully combine the exotic herbs and a drop of
your own blood in a small vial, infusing them with
magical potency. With a gentle touch, you administer
the Elixir of Vigor to a willing creature. Upon
consumption, the elixir instantly releases a surge of
vitality and energy, granting the target temporary hit
points equal to your spellcasting ability modifier.
The recipient of the elixir experiences a sudden
surge of vigor and resilience, feeling revitalized as
their wounds close up and their spirit is uplifted.
These temporary hit points provide a buffer against
damage, absorbing the brunt of harm inflicted upon
the target.
However, the potent effects of the elixir come at a
cost. After the elixir's effect ends or the concentration
is broken, the target suffers the repercussions of its
rejuvenating power. Their body, drained of energy,
succumbs to exhaustion, causing them to suffer one
level of exhaustion as their system recalibrates.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a
spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the temporary hit
points granted by the elixir increase by an additional
amount equal to your spellcasting ability modifier for
each level above 1st. Additionally, for each slot level
above 1st, the duration of the spell extends by 1
hour, allowing the target to benefit from the elixir's
protective effects for a longer period.
The Elixir of Vigor serves as a boon in dire situations,
granting a surge of resilience but demanding a price
in the form of exhaustion once its potency fades. It is
a spell sought after by those who require a
momentary burst of vitality but must tread carefully in
balancing the cost and benefits of such powerful
magic.
Name: Explosive Brew
School of Magic: Evocation
Level: 1st level
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: A point within range
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Dexterity saving throw
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Explosive Brew is a spell born of the Alchemist's
arcane understanding and scientific curiosity. With a
few intricate hand gestures and an incantation filled
with alchemical phrases, the caster conjures a
volatile explosive mixture that crackles with raw
energy. This concoction takes the form of a small vial
filled with swirling luminescent liquid, resembling a
miniature aurora.
When casting Explosive Brew, you hurl the vial at a
point within range, releasing the unpredictable power
contained within. A brilliant burst of light illuminates
the area, catching the attention of both allies and
foes. All creatures within a 10-foot radius of the point
of impact must make a Dexterity saving throw.
On a failed save, the target creatures suffer fire
damage. The exact amount of damage is determined
by rolling a 1d6 and adding your spellcasting ability
modifier. The resulting fiery explosion engulfs the
area, licking at the unfortunate victims with searing
flames. Be wary, though, for the alchemical mixture
is capricious.
There is a chance that the volatile mixture misfires,
causing the Alchemist to suffer half of the damage
dealt. This represents the inherent risk of tampering
with unstable substances. The unpredictability of the
explosion adds an element of danger and excitement
to the spell, making it a true test of the Alchemist's
skill and nerve.
Casting Explosive Brew using a spell slot of 2nd level
or higher increases the damage dealt by an
additional 1d6 for each level above 1st. This
demonstrates the Alchemist's ability to refine their
formula and enhance the potency of the explosive
mixture, delivering a more devastating blow to their
enemies.
Though powerful, Explosive Brew does have its
limitations. It requires careful aim and timing to
ensure maximum effectiveness. Additionally, the
Alchemist must be cautious not to be caught in the
540
Hexmaster
blast radius themselves. This spell is a testament to
the harmonious blend of magic and science,
combining the mystical arts with the Alchemist's
understanding of volatile substances.
Name: Transmute Substance
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 1st level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Target: One object or substance
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a pinch of
powdered alchemical reagent)
Duration: Until dispelled or until the target is
subjected to a successful Greater Restoration spell
Saving Throw: Constitution saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
With a wave of your hand and an incantation, you tap
into the fundamental forces of transmutation,
attempting to alter the nature of an object or
substance. You must make physical contact with the
target to cast this spell.
The target of this spell must make a Constitution
saving throw. On a failed save, the target undergoes
a remarkable transformation as the magical energy
courses through it. The transformation can turn the
target into a mundane or alchemical substance of
your choice, such as stone, metal, wood, or even a
liquid substance.
The target retains its basic shape and form but
becomes entirely composed of the chosen
substance. For example, a creature might turn into a
statue if transmuted into stone or become a pool of
mercury if transmuted into a liquid metal. While
transformed, the target is unable to move or take any
actions. Its senses are dulled, and it becomes
unaware of its surroundings.
The transformation caused by this spell lasts until it
is dispelled or until the target is subjected to a
successful Greater Restoration spell, which reverses
the transmutation and restores the target to its
original form.
Enhanced Effects:
- When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd
level or higher, you can target one additional object
or substance for each slot level above 1st. Each
Hexmaster
target must make a separate Constitution saving
throw.
- If you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or
higher and successfully transmute a creature, the
duration of the transformation becomes permanent
until dispelled or until the target is subjected to a
successful Greater Restoration spell.
Name: Toxic Cloud
School of Magic: Conjuration
Level: 1st level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: 20-foot radius sphere centered on a point
within range
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Constitution
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Toxic Cloud is a conjuration spell that allows you to
release a dense and noxious cloud of toxic gas in a
20-foot radius centered on a point within range. The
cloud materializes with a sudden billow, swirling with
sinister hues of green and purple. Within this cloud,
the air becomes heavy and filled with toxic fumes,
capable of causing harm to those unfortunate
enough to be caught within its grasp.
When you cast this spell, all creatures within the
cloud must make a Constitution saving throw or be
poisoned by the noxious fumes. The poisonous
effects of the gas linger, inflicting ongoing damage to
those who remain within the cloud. The cloud
persists for a number of rounds, causing all creatures
inside it at the start of their turn to take 1d4 poison
damage. A successful Constitution saving throw
negates the ongoing poison damage.
However, the toxic fumes also affect the alchemist
who conjured the cloud. Due to their understanding
of poisons and toxins, the alchemist takes only half
damage from the ongoing poison effect caused by
the cloud while remaining within it. This special
immunity allows the alchemist to maintain control
over the spell's effects without succumbing entirely to
its toxicity.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When Toxic Cloud is cast using a spell slot of 2nd
541
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
level or higher, the damage caused by the ongoing
poison effect increases by 1d4 for each slot level
above 1st. Additionally, the radius of the cloud
expands by 5 feet for each slot level above 1st,
affecting a larger area and increasing the chance of
enveloping multiple targets within its poisonous
grasp.
Note: The Toxic Cloud spell is particularly useful for
alchemists or spellcasters with a proclivity for poison-
based magic. It provides a means to create a
hazardous battlefield, hindering enemies while also
requiring careful maneuvering to avoid self-inflicted
harm.
Name: Alchemical Barrier
School of Magic: Abjuration
Level: 1st level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self or touch
Target: Self or one willing creature
Components: Verbal, somatic, material (a vial of
alchemical essence)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Alchemical Barrier is a spell that harnesses the
powers of alchemy and protective magic to create a
resilient shield around the caster or a willing
creature. As you cast the spell, you speak ancient
incantations and perform precise hand gestures,
channeling the essence of transmutation and
abjuration.
Once the spell is cast, a shimmering and semi-
transparent barrier manifests around the target,
granting them temporary hit points. These temporary
hit points are equal to twice your spellcasting ability
modifier, serving as a buffer against incoming
damage. The arcane energies infusing the barrier
make it more resilient than ordinary temporary hit
points, providing a stronger defense.
However, the barrier is unstable due to the volatile
nature of alchemical forces. When the temporary hit
points are depleted, whether by absorbing damage
or the spell's duration ending, there is a chance for
the barrier to explode. This explosion releases a
sudden burst of raw force energy, affecting all
creatures within a 10-foot radius of the target.
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
The force explosion deals damage to all creatures
within its area of effect. The damage inflicted is 2d6
force damage, and each affected creature must
make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save,
they take full damage, while on a successful save,
they take half damage. The explosion does not harm
the caster or the original target of the spell.
Enhanced Effects:
When casting Alchemical Barrier using a spell slot of
2nd level or higher, the temporary hit points provided
by the barrier increase. For each level higher than
1st, the temporary hit points granted increase by
your spellcasting ability modifier.
At 3rd level or higher, the force damage caused by
the explosion also increases. For each level higher
than 1st, the damage increases by an additional 1d6.
Note:
It is crucial to exercise caution when casting
Alchemical Barrier, as the explosive nature of the
spell can potentially harm allies or innocent
bystanders within the vicinity. Additionally, the
barrier's instability makes it a risky choice in
situations where silence or stealth is required, as the
explosion may draw unwanted attention.
Spell Name: Elixir of Resilience
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 2
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Target: One creature
Components: V, S, M (a small vial of rare herbs and
minerals worth 25 gold pieces, which are consumed
by the spell)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
Description:
With a flourish of arcane gestures and incantations,
you create a potent elixir that enhances the physical
and mental fortitude of a chosen target. This elixir,
when ingested, imbues the recipient with a
temporary resilience against a specific type of
damage. However, due to the nature of the elixir, it
also leaves the target vulnerable to a different type of
damage until the effect ends.
The recipient gains advantage on saving throws
against one type of damage of your choice. This
542
Hexmaster
choice must be made at the time of casting and can
include damage types such as slashing, piercing,
bludgeoning, fire, cold, lightning, acid, thunder,
poison, or psychic. The elixir's magical properties
fortify the target's body and mind, granting them an
enhanced ability to resist harm.
While under the effects of the elixir, the target suffers
vulnerability to a different type of damage, which is
determined by the caster. The vulnerability persists
until the concentration on the spell ends or until the
target is affected by a dispel magic spell or similar
effect. The vulnerability represents the side effect of
the elixir's magical composition, which temporarily
weakens the target's defenses against a specific type
of damage.
When casting this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level
or higher, you can target an additional creature for
each slot level above 2nd. The additional targets
must be within 5 feet of each other when you cast
the spell.
While the elixir's effects enhance the target's
resilience, it is crucial to consider the strategic
implications of leaving the recipient vulnerable to
another type of damage. Timing and careful selection
of damage types can be crucial for success in
combat and survival in challenging situations.
Note: It is important to consult your local alchemist or
magical apothecary for the safe acquisition of the
rare herbs and minerals required to create this elixir.
Unauthorized possession or consumption of such
ingredients may lead to unintended consequences,
including but not limited to transmutation-related
ailments, temporary polymorphing, or unexpected
elemental discharges. The caster assumes full
responsibility for the consequences of utilizing this
spell.
Name: Caustic Blast
School of Magic: Evocation
Level: 2
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Hexmaster
Description:
Caustic Blast is a potent spell that harnesses the raw
power of acid energy. As an alchemist, you possess
the ability to unleash a concentrated beam of acid
towards your chosen target. With a flick of your wrist
and a whispered incantation, you summon the
corrosive forces of the cosmos to strike down your
enemies.
To cast Caustic Blast, you must make a ranged spell
attack against the target. Roll a d20 and add your
spellcasting ability modifier and proficiency bonus to
the result. If the attack roll hits, the target is struck by
the acidic energy, and the spell takes effect.
Upon a successful hit, the target suffers 2d8 acid
damage. The corrosive nature of the spell lingers,
reducing the target's Armor Class (AC) by 1 for a
duration, making them more vulnerable to future
attacks.
However, the power of the acid leaves its mark on
the alchemist as well. The acidic residue clings to
your hands, causing you to take 1d4 acid damage at
the end of each of your turns until you wash it off.
The alchemical gloves or protective gear can offer
some respite from this self-inflicted damage.
Enhanced Effects:
When casting Caustic Blast using a spell slot of 3rd
level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for
each slot level above 2nd. Additionally, the reduction
to the target's AC increases by 1 for every two slot
levels above 2nd. The acid residue damage to the
alchemist remains the same, regardless of the spell
slot level used.
Name: Shroud of Shadows
School of Magic: Illusion
Level: 2
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: You or a willing creature within range
Components: Verbal, somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
As you utter the arcane incantation, shadows
coalesce around you or the target creature, forming a
543
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
billowing cloak of darkness that dances and ripples
with an otherworldly presence. The Shroud of
Shadows spell taps into the realm of illusions,
granting both protection and concealment, while
exacting a price on the healing arts.
While under the effect of Shroud of Shadows, the
target gains advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks,
allowing them to move through the shadows with
unparalleled grace and stealth. Their steps become
silent, their form seems to blur and blend with the
darkness, and their presence becomes elusive to
even the most vigilant of foes.
Moreover, the shroud imbues the target with
resistance to necrotic damage. As tendrils of shadow
wrap around their body, they become partially
shielded against the chilling touch of dark energy,
reducing the harm inflicted upon them.
However, the spell's dark nature also hampers the
target's ability to receive healing. The shadowy aura
created by the shroud disrupts the flow of positive
energies, causing any healing received by the target
to be diminished. The magic of restoration and
rejuvenation is weakened, reducing the effectiveness
of healing spells and abilities by half.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When casting Shroud of Shadows using a spell slot
of 3rd level or higher, the benefits of the spell are
heightened. The target gains an additional
advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks, further
enhancing their ability to move undetected through
the shadows. In addition, the resistance to necrotic
damage becomes stronger, reducing the damage
taken even more.
Spell Name: Philosopher's Stone
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Touch
Target: One creature
Components: V, S, M (a small diamond worth 500
gold pieces)
Duration: 1 hour
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
With the spell Philosopher's Stone, you tap into the
profound mysteries of transmutation magic to create
a legendary artifact known as the Philosopher's
Stone. This spell allows you to fashion a small,
intricate stone with shimmering hues of gold, silver,
and crimson. When activated, the stone radiates an
otherworldly energy that invigorates and empowers
the target.
To cast the spell, you must spend 1 minute in
focused concentration, holding the diamond material
component in one hand while chanting ancient
incantations. As you complete the ritual, the
Philosopher's Stone materializes in your hand.
Upon activation, the Philosopher's Stone bestows
immense power and vitality to the target creature. It
grants temporary hit points equal to five times your
spellcasting ability modifier. These temporary hit
points serve as a buffer against harm, shielding the
recipient from damage. Additionally, the stone
imbues the target with unparalleled prowess,
granting advantage on all ability checks, saving
throws, and attack rolls.
However, the potent effects of the Philosopher's
Stone come at a significant cost. When the spell's
duration ends, the target experiences a profound
depletion of energy. The exhaustion caused by
harnessing the stone's power manifests as a number
of levels of exhaustion equal to half the temporary hit
points it provided.
Using a higher level spell slot to cast Philosopher's
Stone increases the spell's potency. For each level
above 3rd, the temporary hit points granted by the
stone increase by 5 times your spellcasting ability
modifier, ensuring an even greater reservoir of vitality
and protection for the recipient.
Name: Volatile Concoction
School of Magic: Evocation
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Target: A point within range (20-foot radius sphere)
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a vial of
rare alchemical ingredients)
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Dexterity
Spell Resistance: No
544
Hexmaster
Description:
With a flourish of arcane gestures and an
incantation, you create a highly unstable explosive
mixture in a small vial. The concoction shimmers with
volatile energy as you hurl it toward a designated
point within range. Upon impact, it unleashes a
devastating explosion, wreaking havoc on its
surroundings.
All creatures within a 20-foot radius of the designated
point must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a
failed save, a creature takes fire damage equal to
6d6 + your spellcasting ability modifier. On a
successful save, the creature takes half damage.
The explosion is accompanied by an intense
shockwave that reverberates through the area,
knocking prone any creatures that fail the saving
throw.
However, the incredible power of the explosion takes
a toll on the Alchemist themself. As the spell's
creator, you suffer twice the amount of fire damage
dealt by the explosion. The flames momentarily
engulf you, searing your skin and testing your
resilience. This spell requires a fearless alchemist
willing to sacrifice their own safety for maximum
destructive potential.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a
spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage
increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 3rd.
Spell Name: Transmutation Cascade
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (30-foot cone)
Target: All creatures within a 30-foot cone
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Dexterity
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Transmutation Cascade is a potent spell that taps
into the chaotic energies of transmutation, allowing
you to unleash a powerful wave of transformative
magic. When casting this spell, you must gather the
energy by speaking an incantation and making
intricate gestures with your hands, channeling the
raw arcane power within you.
Hexmaster
Once the spell is cast, a cascading wave of vibrant
energy bursts forth from your outstretched hands,
expanding in a cone shape with a range of 30 feet.
All creatures caught within the cone are subjected to
the unpredictable forces of transmutation.
Each affected creature must make a Dexterity saving
throw to resist the transmutative effects. On a failed
save, they are polymorphed into a random creature
determined by rolling on a specialized transmutation
table. The table contains a vast array of creatures,
ranging from mundane animals to fantastical beings,
each with their unique abilities and forms. The
polymorphed creatures retain their mental faculties,
allowing them to comprehend their situation but
limiting their ability to communicate if their new form
lacks the appropriate means.
However, the chaotic nature of the transmutation
energies also affects you, the Alchemist. Therefore,
you must make a saving throw against the same
transmutative effect, using your own Dexterity saving
throw bonus.
It's important to note that the spell's transformative
power is inherently unpredictable, and even though
you have some control over the direction and
intensity of the energy, the specific results of the
transmutation remain uncertain. The randomness
adds an element of surprise and excitement to the
spell, as you and your targets may be transformed
into an assortment of creatures, each with its own
strengths, weaknesses, and abilities.
The effects of the Transmutation Cascade persist
only for an instant, leaving the polymorphed
creatures in their new forms until the duration of the
polymorph spell ends or is dispelled. The
transmutation energies are too chaotic to sustain the
transformation for an extended period. However, the
memory of the transformation remains, granting the
affected creatures a newfound understanding and
empathy for creatures they have become or
encountered.
Enhanced Effects: When you cast Transmutation
Cascade using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the
range of the cone increases by 10 feet for each level
above 3rd. Additionally, the polymorphed creatures
have disadvantage on their saving throws, making it
more likely for them to be affected by the spell's
transmutation.

As a skilled Alchemist, you harness the powerful

Name: Cosmic Attunement
Level: 1st level
Description: Cosmic Attunement represents the
Stardust Archangel's innate connection to the
celestial energies that flow through the universe.
Through intense study and exposure to cosmic
forces, they have learned to harness and manipulate
these energies to their advantage.
Usage: Cosmic Attunement is a passive ability that
enhances the Stardust Archangel's spellcasting and
grants them additional cosmic powers.
Mechanics:
- The Stardust Archangel gains a bonus to their
Charisma-based spellcasting rolls equal to half their
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
proficiency bonus (rounded down).
- Once per long rest, the Stardust Archangel can
channel their cosmic attunement to replenish their
spell slots. They regain a number of expended spell
slots equal to their Charisma modifier (minimum of
one spell slot).
- At 1st level, the Stardust Archangel learns the
Cantrip "Cosmic Spark," a radiant burst of celestial
energy that deals 1d6 radiant damage on a
successful hit. They can use their Charisma modifier
instead of their Dexterity or Strength modifier for
attack and damage rolls when using this cantrip.
Limitations:
- The bonus to spellcasting rolls from Cosmic
Attunement only applies to spells that require a spell
attack roll or spell save DC.
- The ability to replenish spell slots can only be used
once per long rest.
Variants:
- As the Stardust Archangel gains levels, the bonus
to spellcasting rolls increases. At 5th level, it
becomes equal to the proficiency bonus instead of
half.
- At 2nd level, the Stardust Archangel gains the
ability to infuse their weapons with celestial energy,
dealing an additional 1d6 radiant damage on a hit.
Flavor:
The Stardust Archangel's Cosmic Attunement
manifests as a subtle aura that surrounds them,
shimmering with stardust. Their eyes, hair, or skin
may take on a celestial glow, reflecting the distant
lights of the cosmos. When casting spells or
channeling cosmic powers, their voice resonates with
a melodic hum that seems to carry the echoes of
distant stars.
Examples:
- In combat, the Stardust Archangel channels their
Cosmic Attunement to cast the spell "Cosmic Bolt." A
shimmering orb of celestial energy forms in their
hand, and with a flick of their wrist, they send it
hurtling toward an enemy. The energy bolt explodes
on impact, dealing damage and leaving behind a
faint trail of stardust.
- Outside of combat, the Stardust Archangel uses
their Cosmic Attunement to cast "Celestial Insight,"
allowing them to glimpse fragments of future events.
They can ask a specific question about an upcoming
situation and receive a brief vision or impression that
helps them make informed decisions.
- In a social interaction, the Stardust Archangel
subtly taps into their Cosmic Attunement to enhance
their persuasive abilities. Their words are
accompanied by a faint glow, and their gestures
550
Hexmaster
seem to carry an otherworldly grace, leaving a
lasting impression on those they converse with.
1st level: Stellar Burst
Name: Stellar Burst
Level: 1st level
Description: Stellar Burst is a radiant explosion of
celestial energy that the Stardust Archangel can
unleash upon their foes. By channeling the power of
the stars within their Celestial Codex, they can create
a burst of radiant energy that engulfs their enemies,
searing their flesh and blinding their senses.
Usage: Stellar Burst is typically used in combat as a
potent offensive ability, allowing the Stardust
Archangel to deal damage to multiple enemies
simultaneously and potentially blind them, creating
an advantage for the party.
Mechanics:
Range: 30-foot cone
Duration: Instantaneous
- Damage: 2d8 radiant damage
- Saving Throw: Dexterity saving throw (DC 8 +
proficiency bonus + Charisma modifier) for half
damage
- Additional Effect: On a failed saving throw,
creatures caught in the burst are blinded until the
end of their next turn.
Limitations: The Stardust Archangel can use Stellar
Burst a number of times equal to their Charisma
modifier (minimum of once) before needing to take a
long rest to regain expended uses.
Variants: As the Stardust Archangel gains levels,
they can enhance Stellar Burst by increasing its
damage dice or adding additional effects, such as a
chance to knock prone or reduce the targets' speed.
Flavor: As the Stardust Archangel raises their
Celestial Codex high in the air, the book glows with a
brilliant, iridescent light. A wave of radiant energy
surges forth, forming a shimmering cone of starlight
that sweeps across the battlefield. The burst of
energy crackles and sizzles like a shower of celestial
sparks, leaving a lingering trail of stardust in its
wake.
Examples:
- In a battle against a group of goblin raiders, the
Stardust Archangel steps forward, brandishing their
Celestial Codex. With a swift gesture, they unleash a
Stellar Burst, engulfing the goblins in a blinding
explosion of radiant energy. The goblins shriek in
pain and are momentarily disoriented, providing an
opportunity for the party to strike them down.
- Exploring a dark and ominous crypt, the party
encounters a swarm of undead creatures. The
Hexmaster
Stardust Archangel uses Stellar Burst to create a
cone of radiant light, illuminating the area and
temporarily blinding the undead. This gives their
allies a chance to position themselves
advantageously and prepare for the ensuing battle.
Name: Celestial Codex
Level: 1st level
Description: The Stardust Archangel gains access
to their unique spellcasting focus known as the
Celestial Codex. This ancient book, adorned with
intricate celestial symbols, contains the accumulated
knowledge of the cosmos, allowing the Stardust
Archangel to channel and manipulate cosmic
energies with precision and power.
Usage: The Celestial Codex is primarily used as a
spellcasting focus, enabling the Stardust Archangel
to cast their cosmic spells. It serves as a conduit
through which the Stardust Archangel can tap into
the vast cosmic energies and shape them into spells
that control space, time, and the elements.
Mechanics: The Celestial Codex functions as a
spellcasting focus, replacing the need for material
components for spells that have no cost associated
with them. The Stardust Archangel's spellcasting
ability is Charisma, and they use the Celestial Codex
as their spellcasting focus. The spells available to the
Stardust Archangel are determined by their
spellcasting progression, as outlined in their class
features.
Limitations: While the Celestial Codex is a powerful
tool, it requires attunement and concentration from
the Stardust Archangel to effectively channel and
manipulate cosmic energies. The Stardust Archangel
must have at least one hand free to hold and access
the Celestial Codex while casting spells.
Variants: As the Stardust Archangel grows in power
and unlocks higher-level spells, they can enhance
their Celestial Codex with additional enchantments or
unlock hidden sections that contain even more
potent spells. These variants may grant additional
benefits or unique spell options.
Flavor: The Celestial Codex exudes an otherworldly
aura, its pages shimmering with celestial hues that
mirror the colors of distant galaxies. When opened,
the book emits a soft, ethereal glow, casting intricate
constellations upon the surroundings. Each page is
filled with intricate celestial maps, cryptic equations,
and celestial writings, penned by celestial beings
long past. As the Stardust Archangel studies its
pages, they feel a cosmic connection, as if the book
itself holds the wisdom of the ages.
Examples:
551
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
1. In a dark dungeon, the Stardust Archangel holds
the Celestial Codex aloft, channeling the cosmic
energies within. They cast the spell "Stellar Ray,"
unleashing a beam of radiant energy that pierces
through the darkness, illuminating the surroundings
and revealing hidden traps or secret passages.
2. During a fierce battle, the Stardust Archangel flips
through the Celestial Codex with remarkable speed,
their fingers tracing the ancient symbols and
equations. With a whispered incantation, they cast
"Cosmic Shield," summoning a shimmering barrier of
stardust that protects their allies from a barrage of
enemy arrows.
3. The Stardust Archangel finds themselves
surrounded by a group of hostile creatures. They
quickly consult the Celestial Codex, searching for a
solution. They cast "Celestial Distortion," warping the
fabric of space around the enemies and causing
them to become disoriented, making it easier for the
Stardust Archangel and their allies to strike them
down.
Name: Astral Step
Level: 2nd level
Description: Astral Step is a remarkable ability that
allows the Stardust Archangel to traverse the vast
expanse of the cosmos in the blink of an eye. By
tapping into the celestial energies within, they can
momentarily shift their essence out of the mortal
plane, journeying through the astral realm to reach
their desired destination.
Usage: Astral Step is primarily used as a means of
transportation, enabling the Stardust Archangel to
cover great distances instantaneously. It can be
employed both in and out of combat, providing
strategic advantages by swiftly repositioning the
character on the battlefield or facilitating expedient
travel across the multiverse.
Mechanics: When the Stardust Archangel uses
Astral Step, they can teleport up to 60 feet to an
unoccupied space they can see. This teleportation
occurs instantaneously, bypassing obstacles and
intervening terrain. Astral Step does not provoke
opportunity attacks, as the Stardust Archangel
momentarily slips beyond the physical plane,
becoming ethereal during the teleportation.
Limitations: The Stardust Archangel can use Astral
Step once before requiring a short or long rest to
regain this ability. Additionally, the ability to teleport
is limited to locations within their line of sight. They
cannot teleport through solid barriers or to locations
they cannot perceive.
Variants: As the Stardust Archangel grows in power
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
and mastery, they can unlock enhancements to
Astral Step. At higher levels, they may gain the ability
to bring willing creatures or objects with them during
the teleportation, expanding the utility of this feature.
Flavor: Activating Astral Step is a breathtaking
spectacle. When the Stardust Archangel invokes this
ability, their body becomes enveloped in shimmering
stardust, and their form seems to dissolve into
countless points of twinkling light. For a fleeting
moment, they exist as a celestial constellation,
suspended in the astral sea before vanishing from
sight. Reappearing at their destination, their form
reforms, trailing motes of astral energy before they
solidify once more.
Examples:
1. In the heat of battle, an Stardust Archangel finds
themselves cornered by a group of menacing
enemies. With a quick invocation of Astral Step, they
vanish from sight, reappearing behind their foes,
catching them off guard and granting the Stardust
Archangel the advantage of surprise.
2. Exploring a treacherous dungeon, the Stardust
Archangel encounters a chasm too wide to jump. By
utilizing Astral Step, they effortlessly teleport to the
other side, bypassing the dangerous obstacle and
ensuring the party's progress remains unhindered.
3. When faced with an urgent mission to a distant
celestial plane, the Stardust Archangel relies on
Astral Step to traverse the vast cosmic distances
swiftly. They close their eyes, envisioning the
ethereal realm they seek, and with a surge of
celestial power, they disappear from their current
location, only to reappear at their intended
destination, ready to fulfill their celestial duties.
3rd level: Cosmic Resilience
Name: Celestial Shield
Level: 3rd level
Description: Celestial Shield is a manifestation of
the Stardust Archangel's connection to cosmic
energies, allowing them to create a protective barrier
infused with celestial power. This shield not only
provides a formidable defense but also bolsters the
Stardust Archangel's resilience against various types
of attacks.
Usage: Celestial Shield is typically used in combat to
protect the Stardust Archangel and their allies from
incoming attacks, providing a temporary barrier
against harm. Outside of combat, it can be used to
shield important objects or individuals from danger or
to create a safe zone within hazardous
environments.
Mechanics: As an action, the Stardust Archangel
552
Hexmaster
can summon a Celestial Shield with a radius of 10
feet. The shield lasts for 1 minute or until dismissed
by the Stardust Archangel. The shield's hit points are
equal to 5 times the Stardust Archangel's class level
+ their Charisma modifier. The shield has an AC of
18 and grants half-cover to anyone within its radius,
including the Stardust Archangel. Additionally, while
the Celestial Shield is active, the Stardust Archangel
gains resistance against damage from non-magical
weapons.
Limitations: The Celestial Shield requires
concentration to maintain, preventing the Stardust
Archangel from concentrating on another spell
simultaneously. It can be dismissed by the Stardust
Archangel as a bonus action, ending its effects
prematurely. Once the shield's hit points are reduced
to 0, it dissipates, and the feature can't be used
again until the Stardust Archangel finishes a long
rest.
Variants: At higher levels, the Stardust Archangel
can enhance their Celestial Shield with additional
abilities or modifications, such as extending its
duration or increasing its protective qualities.
Flavor: When activating Celestial Shield, the
Stardust Archangel's body becomes enveloped in a
shimmering, iridescent energy field that pulses with
celestial light. The shield radiates a soothing warmth,
reminiscent of the comforting embrace of a
benevolent star. As the shield takes form, it
emanates soft whispers of distant cosmic knowledge,
lending a sense of serenity and cosmic connection to
those within its protective aura.
Examples:
1. In combat, the Stardust Archangel activates
Celestial Shield, creating a protective barrier around
themselves and their allies. As enemy arrows rain
down upon them, the arrows bounce off the shield
harmlessly, protecting the entire party from ranged
attacks.
2. While exploring a dangerous dungeon, the
Stardust Archangel uses Celestial Shield to create a
safe zone around a trapped chest. This allows their
allies to safely approach and disarm the traps without
fear of triggering them.
3. During a ritual to seal a portal to a chaotic
dimension, the Stardust Archangel activates
Celestial Shield, encasing the area in a barrier of
celestial energy. The shield not only protects the
Stardust Archangel and their allies from the turbulent
energies but also helps stabilize the ritual, ensuring
its success.
4. In a dire situation where a town is under attack,
the Stardust Archangel activates Celestial Shield
Hexmaster
over a group of civilians, shielding them from the
onslaught of enemy forces. The shield provides a
vital sanctuary, allowing the civilians to escape to
safety while the Stardust Archangel holds the line
against the invaders.
Name: Celestial Mastery
Level: 4th level
Description: Celestial Mastery is a pinnacle
achievement for Stardust Archangels, representing
their deep understanding and command over
celestial energies. This feature enhances their
cosmic spellcasting abilities, granting them greater
control and potency over their spells.
Usage: Celestial Mastery is primarily used to
unleash devastating spells infused with celestial
energy, overwhelming enemies and reshaping the
battlefield.
Mechanics: When you reach 4th level, you gain the
following benefits:
1. Enhanced Spellcasting: Your spellcasting ability
modifier increases by 2, allowing you to cast spells
with even greater accuracy and power. This bonus
applies to your spell attack rolls, spell save DC, and
the number of spells you can prepare.
2. Cosmic Nova (1/long rest): As an action, you can
channel the celestial energies within you to create a
brilliant burst of cosmic energy. Choose a point
within 60 feet of you. All creatures within a 20-foot
radius sphere centered on that point must make a
Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC or
take 4d10 radiant damage and be blinded for 1
minute. On a successful save, the damage is halved,
and they are not blinded. This feature can only be
used once per long rest.
Limitations: The Celestial Mastery feature has the
following limitations:
1. Restricted Usage: The Cosmic Nova ability can
only be used once per long rest, requiring a period of
rest and meditation to recharge the celestial energies
within.
Variants: There are two variants of the Celestial
Mastery feature that Stardust Archangels can choose
from at 4th level:
1. Stellar Conduit: Instead of the Cosmic Nova
ability, you gain access to Stellar Conduit. As a
bonus action, you can channel celestial energy into a
chosen ally within 60 feet, granting them temporary
hit points equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum
of 1) plus your Stardust Archangel level. These
temporary hit points last for 1 hour or until depleted.
Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again
until you finish a short or long rest.
553
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
2. Celestial Beam: Instead of the Cosmic Nova
ability, you gain access to Celestial Beam. As an
action, you can unleash a concentrated beam of
celestial energy at a single target within 120 feet.
Make a spell attack against the target, dealing 3d8
radiant damage on a hit. Additionally, the target must
make a Constitution saving throw against your spell
save DC or be stunned until the end of its next turn.
Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again
until you finish a short or long rest.
Flavor: As an Stardust Archangel attains Celestial
Mastery, their connection to the celestial realm
deepens. They become conduits of cosmic energy,
their bodies aglow with starry radiance. When they
invoke their enhanced spellcasting abilities, their
voice reverberates like distant celestial harmonies,
and the air around them shimmers with ethereal
stardust. Each Stardust Archangel's manifestation of
Celestial Mastery is unique, reflecting their bond with
the celestial forces that empower them.
Examples:
1. In the heat of battle, surrounded by a horde of
enemies, an Stardust Archangel reaches 4th level
and gains Celestial Mastery. Realizing the dire
situation, they unleash their Cosmic Nova ability,
creating a blinding explosion of radiant energy. The
enemies caught within the blast are devastated,
some collapsing under the sheer brilliance of the
celestial onslaught.
2. Outside of combat, an Stardust Archangel finds
themselves negotiating with a deceitful noble.
Sensing the noble's true intentions, they activate
their Celestial Beam ability and aim it at the ceiling
above, creating a dazzling display of radiant light.
The noble, momentarily stunned by the celestial
spectacle, is caught off guard, allowing the Stardust
Archangel to gain the upper hand in the negotiation.
Name: Celestial Ascendance
Level: 5th level
Description: Celestial Ascendance represents the
pinnacle of the Stardust Archangel's cosmic powers,
allowing them to transcend mortal limitations and
temporarily ascend to a higher celestial plane. In this
state, they become an embodiment of celestial
energy, radiating power and commanding the very
stars themselves.
Usage: Celestial Ascendance is typically used in dire
situations, when the Stardust Archangel needs to
unleash their full potential and turn the tide of battle.
It can also be employed outside of combat to awe
and inspire allies or intimidate enemies with the
sheer magnificence of celestial might.

Ascendance, their entire being radiates with a
brilliant, ethereal light. Their eyes become pools of

wake.

Celestial Ascendance becomes a symbol of hope
and awe. They can create dazzling displays of
celestial light, illuminating the darkest nights. They

Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Dexterity saving throw
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Celestial Spark is a mesmerizing cantrip that taps
into the celestial energies that permeate the cosmos.
With a few arcane words and a flick of your fingers,
you unleash a small burst of radiant energy upon a
target creature. The celestial spark surges forth,
seeking out your chosen foe with a dazzling display
of shimmering light.
When you cast Celestial Spark, a radiant burst
emanates from your outstretched hand, manifesting
as a shimmering ball of golden light. The spark
travels unerringly towards its target, illuminating the
surrounding area with its radiant glow.
The target creature must make a Dexterity saving
throw to avoid the celestial spark's effects. On a
failed save, the spark impacts the creature, dealing
1d4 radiant damage. However, if the target
successfully saves, they manage to evade the
sparkling burst, leaving them unharmed.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When casting Celestial Spark using a spell slot of 1st
level or higher, the damage increases by 1d4 for
each slot level above the cantrip level. For example,
if cast using a 3rd-level spell slot, the spell would
deal 3d4 radiant damage instead of the usual 1d4.
Casting:
To cast Celestial Spark, you utter a brief incantation,
invoking the harmonies of the celestial spheres. As
you speak the words, you raise your hand towards
your target, palm open and fingers spread wide. In a
swift motion, you bring your hand forward, releasing
the celestial spark with a flourish.
Flavor:
Celestial Spark is a spell that captures the ethereal
beauty of the heavens. As you cast the spell, a soft
chorus of angelic whispers accompanies the
shimmering golden light that emanates from your
hand. The spark itself glimmers like a distant star,
leaving behind a trail of stardust as it streaks through
the air towards its target.

Duration: 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Starry Shield is a captivating cantrip that taps into the
essence of the cosmos, allowing the caster to create
a protective barrier of shimmering stardust. As the
incantation escapes your lips and your hands
gracefully trace intricate patterns in the air, tiny
motes of starlight materialize around you, coalescing
into a radiant shield that orbits your body.
The Starry Shield provides you with temporary hit
points equal to your spellcasting ability modifier
(minimum of 1). These celestial energies form a
resilient layer around you, acting as a buffer against
harm. The protective barrier remains active for the
spell's duration, or until it absorbs damage equal to
the temporary hit points granted by the spell.
While active, the Starry Shield emanates a soft glow,
bathing your surroundings in a gentle luminescence
reminiscent of distant constellations. As you move,
the stardust trails behind you, leaving faint streaks of
shimmering light in its wake.
Casting:
To cast Starry Shield, you must recite an ancient
invocation in a melodious tone, calling upon the
distant stars for their protection. As your words
resonate with cosmic energy, you must perform a
series of intricate hand movements, guiding the
stardust into existence. The spell requires you to be
in an open space, preferably under the night sky or in
a place suffused with celestial energy.
Flavor:
As you complete the incantation, the air around you
shimmers with an otherworldly radiance. The
stardust materializes, forming a shimmering barrier
composed of countless sparkling motes. The light
dances and glimmers with hues of sapphire,
emerald, and amethyst, casting a celestial glow on
your features. The shield hovers protectively around
you, creating a mesmerizing display of interstellar
beauty. Whenever the stardust absorbs damage, it
briefly intensifies, emitting a dazzling burst of radiant
light before settling back into its serene, astral
radiance.

Name: Astral Pulse
School of Magic: Evocation

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (15-foot cone)
Target: Every creature in the area of effect
Components: Verbal, somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Strength saving throw
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Astral Pulse is a powerful cantrip that allows the
caster to harness the ethereal energies of the
cosmos, manifesting them as a forceful wave that
pushes creatures away. As you begin to cast Astral
Pulse, you feel a surge of arcane energy building
within you, tingling and pulsating with otherworldly
power. With a swift motion of your outstretched hand,
you release the energy in a burst of shimmering
astral light.
Upon casting Astral Pulse, a wave of pure cosmic
force emanates from you, extending in a cone shape
for 15 feet in front of you. This wave carries an
ethereal resonance that affects all creatures caught
within its path, forcefully pushing them away. Each
creature in the area must make a Strength saving
throw to resist being pushed back.
Any creature that fails the saving throw is instantly
pushed up to 10 feet away from you, their bodies
buffeted by the invisible energies of the astral plane.
Large or particularly sturdy creatures might resist the
full extent of the force, only being moved a few feet.
However, smaller or weaker creatures may find
themselves helplessly carried away, tumbling
through the air and struggling to regain their footing.
Casting Astral Pulse at higher levels enhances its
effects. When cast using a spell slot of 1st level or
higher, the range of the cone increases by 5 feet for
each level above 0. Additionally, for every two levels
above 0, the force exerted by the pulse increases,
pushing affected creatures an additional 5 feet away
from you.
Casting:
To cast Astral Pulse, you must utter an incantation in
an ancient, melodic language that resonates with the
harmony of the cosmos. As you speak the words,
you must make a sweeping motion with your
outstretched hand, conjuring the ethereal energies
that form the basis of the spell. The astral light
surges forth from your palm, surging outward like a
rippling wave.
Flavor:
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
As you channel the power of the Astral Pulse, you
become enveloped in a brief shimmering aura of
cosmic energy. The air around you crackles with a
faint electric hum, and the scent of ozone permeates
the area. When you release the spell, a radiant wave
of shimmering astral light bursts forth from your
hand, rippling through the air like the undulating
surface of a celestial sea. The wave carries with it a
melodious, otherworldly harmony that seems to
resonate deep within the souls of those caught in its
wake.

Range: 60 feet
Target: Each creature within a 10-foot radius sphere
centered on a point within range
Components: Verbal, somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Dexterity saving throw
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Cosmic Flare is a mesmerizing cantrip that
harnesses the energy of the cosmos, creating a
dazzling burst of light that blinds enemies within its
radiant radius. When casting this spell, a mage
conjures the essence of distant stars and celestial
brilliance, channeling it into a concentrated burst of
radiant energy.
Upon casting Cosmic Flare, the spell unleashes a
brilliant explosion of light, creating a radiant sphere
with a 10-foot radius. The radiant energy emitted
from the center of the sphere engulfs every creature
within range, causing them to make a Dexterity
saving throw. Those who fail the saving throw are
momentarily blinded, their vision overwhelmed by the
intense luminosity of the cosmic energies. The
blinding effect lasts for one round, during which
affected creatures have disadvantage on attack rolls
and ability checks that rely on sight.
The potency of Cosmic Flare increases as the
caster's power grows. When cast using a higher level
spell slot, the radius of the radiant sphere expands
by 5 feet for each slot level above 0, allowing for a
greater area of effect and potentially affecting more
adversaries.
Casting:
To cast Cosmic Flare, the mage stands tall and
extends their arms toward the heavens, palms facing
upward. As they begin the incantation, the mage's
voice resonates with a celestial quality, infused with
556
Hexmaster
the harmonies of distant constellations. With a swift
and elegant motion, the mage sweeps their hands
downward, releasing a surge of energy that
materializes into the radiant burst of light.
Flavor:
When Cosmic Flare is unleashed, it is a breathtaking
spectacle to behold. The air crackles with static
energy, and a momentary hush falls over the
battlefield. Suddenly, a brilliant point of light
emerges, resembling a distant star, growing brighter
and more radiant by the second. As the spell
reaches its climax, the star erupts, releasing a burst
of blinding luminosity that cascades in all directions.
The radiant explosion dances with vibrant hues of
blues, purples, and golds, casting magnificent
prismatic reflections across the surroundings. The
resplendent light dissipates quickly, leaving an awe-
inspiring afterimage imprinted on the retinas of those
who witnessed the spell's grandeur.

Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Twilight Veil is a spell that allows you to surround
yourself in a shimmering cloak of shadows, granting
you advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks. As you
utter the incantation and weave the somatic
gestures, the air around you becomes charged with
an otherworldly energy, and shadows start to
coalesce and envelop your form. Your silhouette
becomes hazy, blending seamlessly with the
surrounding darkness, making it easier for you to
hide and move stealthily.
While under the effect of Twilight Veil, your body
seems to merge with the twilight realm, granting you
the ability to manipulate shadows to your advantage.
You gain an ethereal glow that emanates a soft,
muted light, allowing you to see in dim light as if it
were bright light and in darkness as if it were dim
light. This enhancement to your vision allows you to
navigate shadowy environments with ease and
clarity.
Additionally, the cloak of shadows bestowed upon
you provides an advantage when you attempt to
move silently or hide. The ambient light bends and
Hexmaster
refracts around you, making it harder for others to
notice your presence. Whether you're sneaking past
a guard, infiltrating a forbidden chamber, or skulking
through a moonlit forest, Twilight Veil enhances your
ability to remain undetected.
Casting:
To cast Twilight Veil, you must softly utter the
incantation, calling upon the essence of twilight. As
you speak the arcane words, you perform a series of
intricate hand gestures, tracing the shape of a
crescent moon in the air before pressing your palms
together. This motion represents the merging of light
and darkness, symbolizing your connection to the
realms beyond mortal perception. The spell requires
a moment of focus and concentration, allowing the
shadows to gather around you and form the
protective veil.
Flavor:
When you cast Twilight Veil, an aura of twilight
energy emanates from your body, enveloping you in
a cloak of shifting shadows. The darkness seems
alive, flickering and undulating like the ebb and flow
of nightfall. As the veil settles around you, it
generates a faint, ethereal glow that illuminates your
surroundings with a captivating, otherworldly
radiance. The air becomes still and filled with a
whispering murmur, like the soft rustle of leaves on a
quiet night. Anyone observing the spell's effect might
catch glimpses of phantom shapes moving within the
darkness, teasing at the edges of their vision and
leaving an unsettling impression of unseen
presences.
As you move while under the effect of Twilight Veil,
the shadows seem to follow your every step, melting
seamlessly into the surrounding darkness. The cloak
of shadows clings to you like a second skin,
enhancing your natural grace and agility. It grants
you an air of mystery and elusiveness, giving rise to
rumors of shadowy figures that seem to appear and
disappear without a trace.

Description:
Stellar Strike is a spell that allows the caster to infuse
557
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
their weapon with celestial energy, empowering it to
deal additional radiant damage on a successful hit.
When casting this spell, the caster utters ancient
words in a celestial language, invoking the cosmic
forces that govern the celestial bodies.
Once the spell is cast, a radiant aura envelops the
weapon held by the caster. This aura manifests as
swirling silver and gold energy, reminiscent of distant
stars and glowing nebulas. The weapon emits a soft,
ethereal glow, illuminating the surroundings with a
gentle celestial light.
While under the effects of Stellar Strike, the caster's
weapon becomes charged with radiant energy,
causing it to deal an extra 1d6 radiant damage on a
successful hit. The radiant energy unleashed by the
weapon bathes the target in divine light, searing their
flesh and leaving a lingering celestial essence upon
impact.
The spell's duration lasts for up to 1 minute, during
which the caster must maintain concentration to
sustain the celestial infusion. However, the spell can
be prematurely dispelled if the caster loses
concentration or voluntarily ends the spell.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When casting Stellar Strike using a spell slot of 2nd
level or higher, the additional radiant damage
increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 1st. For
example, casting it as a 2nd-level spell would add an
extra 2d6 radiant damage.
Casting:
To cast Stellar Strike, the caster must hold their
weapon aloft while chanting the incantation. As they
speak the celestial words, they trace intricate
patterns in the air with their free hand, drawing upon
the connection between the celestial bodies and their
weapon. In addition to the somatic gestures, the
caster must also speak the incantation with
conviction and focus, channeling their inner energy
into the weapon.
Flavor:
As the caster utters the celestial incantation, the air
around them shimmers and sparkles with a myriad of
star-like glimmers. A soft hum resonates through the
surroundings, akin to the gentle vibrations of celestial
harmonies. Once the spell is fully cast, the weapon
becomes enveloped in a radiant aura, emitting a
gentle, otherworldly glow. When the empowered
weapon strikes a target, it leaves behind trails of
stardust, creating a mesmerizing spectacle as it cuts
through the air. The impact is accompanied by a
melodious chime, reminiscent of celestial bells,
resonating in harmony with the weapon's celestial
power.

School of Magic: Conjuration
Level: 1st level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Astral Projection is a spell that allows the caster to
temporarily enter the ethereal realm of the Astral
Plane, granting them extraordinary advantages and a
connection to the cosmic energies that reside within.
When you cast this spell, your physical body
becomes intangible and your consciousness merges
with the astral fabric, granting you several benefits.
While under the effects of Astral Projection, you gain
advantage on all saving throws, as your mind
becomes attuned to the higher planes of existence,
enabling you to tap into your innate ethereal nature.
This heightened awareness grants you a greater
chance to resist harmful effects.
Furthermore, while in the Astral Plane, you become
ethereal, allowing you to pass through solid objects
as if they were mist. You can move in any direction,
including up or down, and phase through barriers
that would impede physical beings. This ability
remains active for the duration of the spell, or until
you end it as a bonus action.
While ethereal, you can see and hear the material
plane, but you cannot interact with it physically.
However, you can use your action to manifest a
spectral hand that can manipulate objects in the
material plane with limited strength, allowing you to
open doors, retrieve small items, or even activate
simple mechanisms. This hand can't attack or deal
damage, but it can interact with objects within your
reach.
Casting Astral Projection at higher levels enhances
its effects. When cast using a spell slot of 2nd level
or higher, the duration increases by 1 hour for each
slot level above 1st. Additionally, if you cast this spell
using a 3rd level or higher spell slot, you gain the
ability to bring one willing creature of your choice
with you into the Astral Plane. The creature must be
within 5 feet of you when you cast the spell, and its
duration is linked to yours.
Casting:
To cast Astral Projection, you must stand tall, closing
your eyes and raising your hands towards the
558
Hexmaster
heavens. As you utter the incantation in a sonorous
voice, the air around you crackles with celestial
energy. During this time, your mind must be focused
and clear, free from distractions or negative
thoughts. Once the incantation is completed, your
body shimmers with an otherworldly luminescence
as you temporarily transcend the material plane and
venture into the Astral Plane.
Flavor:
As you cast Astral Projection, the surrounding
environment fades away, replaced by a swirling,
starlit void. Your physical form gradually turns
translucent, and your body becomes engulfed in a
hazy, astral aura. Threads of vibrant energy
intertwine with your being, pulsating with the colors
of the cosmos. Your senses become sharper,
attuned to the subtle harmonies and whispers of
distant realms. It is as if you are striding through a
surreal dreamscape, a realm between reality and the
infinite expanse of the multiverse.

Description:
Nebula's Grace is a spell that channels the celestial
energies of the cosmos, allowing the caster to heal
wounds and bestow temporary vitality upon
themselves or a chosen ally. As the spell is cast, the
air around the caster begins to shimmer with tiny
specks of stardust, forming a celestial aura of
swirling colors.
When you cast Nebula's Grace, you lay your hands
upon the target creature, infusing them with
rejuvenating energy. The target regains 1d8 hit
points + your spellcasting ability modifier.
Additionally, the target gains temporary hit points
equal to your spellcasting ability modifier.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a
spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the healing increases
by 1d8 for each slot level above 1st.
Casting:
To cast Nebula's Grace, the caster raises their hands
towards the heavens, their fingers spreading wide as
they trace invisible constellations in the air. They
speak a melodic incantation in an ancient celestial
Hexmaster
language, calling upon the benevolent powers of the
stars. As they touch the target, a gentle pulse of
energy spreads from their hands, accompanied by a
soft chorus of ethereal whispers.
Flavor:
As Nebula's Grace is cast, the immediate vicinity is
bathed in a gentle, radiant glow reminiscent of the
night sky. The colors of the nebula swirl and dance in
a mesmerizing display, casting faint celestial patterns
upon nearby surfaces. The sound of twinkling stars
and distant celestial harmonies fills the air, creating a
serene and otherworldly atmosphere. The healing
energy itself feels cool and comforting, like a soft
breeze on a clear night, as it envelops the recipient,
mending their wounds and fortifying their spirit.
Name: Dimensional Blink
School of Magic: Conjuration
Level: 1st level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Dimensional Blink is a spell that taps into the
mysterious energies of the multiverse, allowing the
caster to briefly traverse the fabric of reality. When
casting this spell, the air around you shimmers with
otherworldly hues, hinting at the cosmic forces you
are about to wield. With a swift incantation and a
graceful wave of your hand, you activate the spell
and step momentarily into the realms beyond.
Upon casting Dimensional Blink, you instantly
teleport a short distance, vanishing from your current
location and reappearing up to 30 feet away in any
direction you choose. As you vanish, a radiant
afterimage of your form lingers in your original
position, creating a mesmerizing display of
shimmering lights and mirages. This afterimage
persists for a brief moment, confusing any enemies
in the area who witnessed your magical teleportation.
The confusion caused by the afterimage is not just
illusory but has tangible effects on your foes. Any
enemy creatures within 10 feet of the afterimage
must make an Intelligence saving throw against your
spell save DC or be afflicted with the Disoriented
condition for 1 round. While Disoriented, their
movements become clumsy and imprecise, granting
advantage on attack rolls against them until the end
of their next turn.
559
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
The spell's effects are further enhanced when cast
using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher. For each slot
level above 1st, the distance you can teleport with
Dimensional Blink increases by an additional 10 feet.
Additionally, the area of effect for the afterimage
confusion expands by 5 feet for every slot level
above 1st.
Casting:
To cast Dimensional Blink, you must utter an arcane
phrase in a language known only to those who have
studied the secrets of interdimensional travel. As you
speak the words, you must perform a swift somatic
gesture, tracing intricate patterns in the air. The spell
requires clear concentration and focus, and the
caster must not be under any movement restrictions
or grappling effects. The ability to blink through
dimensions is not without its risks, and the caster
must be careful not to get entangled in obstacles or
hazardous terrain during the teleportation.
Flavor:
As you invoke the power of Dimensional Blink, the
surrounding space shimmers with a myriad of
prismatic colors, as if the fabric of reality itself is
being woven anew. A brief, otherworldly humming
fills the air, growing louder as you complete the
incantation. In an instant, you disappear from your
original position, leaving behind a trail of swirling
energy and trailing lights that coalesce into a radiant
afterimage of your form. The afterimage dances with
a pulsating radiance, causing confusion and
bewilderment among your foes. With a soft pop, you
reappear at your chosen destination, the air crackling
with residual arcane energy.

somatic gestures, a brilliant sphere of shimmering
energy forms around you, pulsating with hues of
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
blue, purple, and silver.
With a sudden burst of energy, the sphere expands
outward, enveloping all creatures within a 30-foot
radius of you. The cosmic energies surge through
the air, crackling and humming with an otherworldly
resonance. The spell affects both visible creatures
and those hidden from sight, as the cosmic energy
can pierce through illusions and concealment.
All creatures caught within the radius must make a
Dexterity saving throw to avoid the full effects of the
spell. Those who fail are struck by the cosmic burst
and suffer 1d6 force damage. Additionally, the sheer
force of the burst knocks them off balance, causing
them to be knocked prone.
Enhanced Effects: When you cast Cosmic Burst
using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage
increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 1st.
Casting:
To cast Cosmic Burst, you must channel your focus
and connect with the cosmic forces. As you begin the
incantation, your voice resonates with a haunting
harmony, blending with the ethereal whispers of
distant stars. The words of power are ancient and
eldritch, carrying echoes of forgotten celestial
tongues.
To complete the spell, you must raise your arms
toward the heavens, your fingers spread wide as if
grasping the very fabric of the cosmos. The somatic
gestures are intricate, mimicking the dance of
celestial bodies in the night sky. As you finish the
gestures, you release the built-up energy within,
causing the burst of cosmic power to erupt from your
position.
Flavor:
As you cast Cosmic Burst, a hushed silence fills the
air, and the stars seem to shine brighter above you.
Suddenly, a brilliant flash of cosmic energy bursts
forth from your outstretched hands, cascading in
radiant waves. The burst takes on the form of
swirling constellations, wisps of stardust, and vibrant
nebulae, creating a mesmerizing display of celestial
beauty.
Accompanying the visual spectacle, a faint melodic
hum fills the surroundings, like the chorus of celestial
choirs. The sound resonates deep within the hearts
of those who witness it, evoking a sense of awe and
wonder. The air crackles with energy as the cosmic
burst reaches its peak, and with a final surge of
power, it erupts outward, leaving a lingering trail of
shimmering stardust in its wake.
Upon impact, the burst releases a brief, harmonious
symphony of celestial chimes, the sound echoing
throughout the area. The force of the burst knocks
560
Hexmaster
creatures off their feet, causing them to stumble and
fall as the cosmic energies dissipate into the
surrounding atmosphere, leaving behind a sense of
cosmic majesty and the lingering scent of ozone.

within range
Components: Verbal, somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Dexterity half
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Celestial Nova is a spell that harnesses the radiant
energy of the heavens, unleashing a cataclysmic
explosion that engulfs the area with blinding light.
When you cast this spell, a radiant sphere, crackling
with celestial energy, erupts at a point of your
choosing within range. The sphere expands rapidly,
creating a dazzling spectacle that captivates
onlookers.
All creatures within the 30-foot radius sphere must
make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a
creature takes 3d6 radiant damage, while on a
successful save, the damage is halved. The celestial
energy permeating the area causes any creature that
fails the saving throw to be blinded until the end of its
next turn.
Additionally, any undead or fiend within the sphere
suffers additional damage equal to your spellcasting
ability modifier (minimum of 1) on a failed saving
throw, or half damage on a successful one. The
celestial energy disrupts their dark essence, inflicting
greater harm upon these unholy creatures.
At Higher Levels: When you cast Celestial Nova
using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage
increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 2nd.
Casting:
To cast Celestial Nova, you must raise your hands
toward the heavens, invoking the divine forces that
reside in the celestial realms. As you utter the
incantation in a melodic tone, the syllables resonate
with the harmonies of the cosmos. The final gesture
involves bringing your hands together forcefully,
creating a brilliant flash of light that triggers the
explosion of radiant energy.
Flavor:
As you complete the casting of Celestial Nova, the
air crackles with electricity, and a sense of
Hexmaster
anticipation fills the surroundings. Suddenly, a
blinding light bursts forth from the chosen point,
engulfing the area in a radiant conflagration. The
explosion resembles a magnificent celestial nebula,
with tendrils of energy swirling and dancing in a
mesmerizing display. The sound accompanying the
spell is akin to the chorus of a thousand angelic
voices, harmonizing in perfect unison, as the
celestial forces unleash their fury upon the world.
The aftermath leaves an ethereal glow that gradually
dissipates, fading back into the fabric of reality.

Description:
Star Fall is a spell that taps into the cosmic energies
of the universe, allowing you to summon a dazzling
shower of shooting stars that rain down upon your
chosen area. As you cast the spell, you channel your
magical energy, creating a rift in the fabric of reality,
through which celestial bodies emerge. These
radiant meteors streak across the sky, trailing
shimmering tails of stardust.
Upon completing the incantation, the meteors
descend upon the target area. Each creature within
the 20-foot radius sphere must make a Dexterity
saving throw. The meteor shower deals 4d6 radiant
damage to creatures that fail the save, or half as
much damage on a successful save. In addition to
the damage, the celestial energy imbued within the
meteors temporarily weakens the affected creatures,
reducing their movement speed by 10 feet until the
end of their next turn.
When casting Star Fall using a spell slot of 3rd level
or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot
level above 2nd.
Casting:
To cast Star Fall, you must stand with your feet firmly
planted on the ground, facing the night sky. Raise
your arms high, palms open towards the heavens. As
you begin the incantation, you feel the pulsating
power of the stars surging through your fingertips,
and your voice resonates with the cosmic melody.
The words of the spell must be spoken clearly and
with conviction, invoking the celestial guardians of
561
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
the night.
Flavor:
As you complete the casting of Star Fall, the air
around you becomes charged with anticipation. The
night sky darkens momentarily as if a veil is drawn
across the stars. Suddenly, a brilliant burst of light
pierces through the shroud, illuminating the area
beneath it. From this celestial portal, a multitude of
sparkling meteors hurtle downwards, trailing radiant
streams of stardust. The meteors crash into the
ground with an explosive force, sending waves of
awe-inspiring energy rippling through the
surroundings. The impact leaves behind fading trails
of ethereal light, reminiscent of shooting stars
streaking across the night sky. The air is filled with a
melodious hum, akin to the celestial choir rejoicing in
the spell's manifestation.

Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Time Dilation is a spell rooted in the arcane
manipulation of time itself, harnessing the mysterious
forces that govern the flow of chronology. As you
weave the intricate patterns of temporal energy, you
temporarily disrupt the natural progression of time
around you, granting yourself an advantage on
attack rolls and saving throws for 1 hour.
When you cast Time Dilation, you become
enveloped in a shimmering aura of chronal energy.
This energy warps the fabric of time within a small
radius around you, creating a localized temporal
dilation field. While under the effects of this spell, you
gain advantage on all attack rolls and saving throws.
The temporal dilation lasts for up to 1 minute, but you
must concentrate on maintaining the spell's effects. If
your concentration is broken, the spell ends
prematurely. Additionally, you can choose to end the
spell at any time as a bonus action.
Enhanced Effects:
When you cast Time Dilation using a spell slot of 3rd
level or higher, the duration of the spell increases by
1 minute for each level above 2nd. Furthermore, the
advantage granted on attack rolls and saving throws
extends to all allies within 10 feet of you.
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Casting:
To cast Time Dilation, you must speak ancient words
in the language of time itself, invoking the primal
forces that govern the cosmos. As you utter the
incantation, you must perform intricate hand gestures
that mimic the swirling motions of temporal currents.
The spell requires intense focus and concentration,
demanding the utmost precision to manipulate the
delicate threads of time.
Flavor:
When Time Dilation takes effect, you witness a
captivating display of temporal manipulation. The air
around you seems to shimmer and ripple with
ethereal energy, akin to the surface of a pond
disturbed by a gentle breeze. Faint trails of light
weave through the surroundings, tracing the intricate
patterns of temporal disturbances. A subtle hum,
reminiscent of a distant clockwork mechanism, fills
the air as time itself bends to your will.

Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
As you utter the ancient words of power and trace
intricate patterns in the air with your fingertips, a
radiant glow envelops your body. Moonlight
shimmers and dances around you, forming a
protective cloak that shields you from harm.
While under the effects of Lunar Cloak, you gain
resistance to all damage types. Whether it's the fiery
breath of a dragon, the venomous sting of a giant
scorpion, or the chilling touch of necrotic energy, the
Lunar Cloak provides you with unparalleled
protection.
The celestial energy that emanates from the
moonlight creates a mystical barrier, reducing the
intensity of any harm that befalls you. Physical blows
lose their force, arcane energies lose their potency,
and even the most vile poisons lose their deadly
edge. You become an embodiment of lunar
resilience, standing strong amidst the chaos of battle.
However, it's important to note that the spell does not
grant immunity to damage. While your resistance to
various forms of harm grants you a significant
advantage, you must still exercise caution and avoid
562
Hexmaster
exposing yourself to unnecessary danger.
Casting:
To cast Lunar Cloak, you must stand under the open
night sky with the moon visible above you. With a
melodic incantation, you call upon the moon's power,
channeling it through your body. As you speak the
words of the spell, you raise your arms, and the
moonlight responds to your command, coalescing
into a shimmering cloak that drapes over your form.
Flavor:
As Lunar Cloak takes effect, a soft, ethereal glow
emanates from your body. Moonlight weaves around
you like a graceful dancer, swirling and twirling with
an otherworldly luminescence. The cloak itself
appears as a cascading tapestry of lunar radiance,
resembling the phases of the moon. Shadows seem
to melt away as the moonlight's touch bathes
everything around you in a serene, silvery glow.
The spell creates a tranquil ambiance, evoking a
sense of calm and majesty. Gentle whispers, like a
distant celestial chorus, can be heard in the air,
carried by the moonlight's embrace. Anyone who
witnesses the casting of Lunar Cloak is left in awe,
feeling a profound connection to the mystical powers
of the cosmos.

Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Arcane Repulsion is a spell that taps into the primal
forces of magic, creating a potent field of energy
around the caster that repels incoming attacks and
grants temporary immunity to damage. When casting
this spell, the caster invokes ancient incantations and
weaves intricate gestures in the air, channeling their
willpower into a swirling vortex of vibrant arcane
energy.
Once the spell is cast, a shimmering field of crackling
energy envelops the caster, forming a protective
barrier that repels all forms of harm. While the spell
is in effect, the caster becomes immune to damage
from physical attacks, spells, and other harmful
effects directed towards them. The arcane energy
field acts as a shield, deflecting and dispersing any
incoming damage, rendering the caster invulnerable
Hexmaster
for the spell's duration.
However, it's important to note that Arcane Repulsion
does not grant complete invincibility. While immune
to damage, the caster can still be affected by other
types of effects that do not directly cause harm, such
as spells that impose conditions or hinder movement.
Additionally, the spell only protects the caster and
does not extend its effects to others nearby.
Casting Arcane Repulsion at a higher level enhances
its protective capabilities. When cast using a spell
slot of 3rd level or higher, the duration of the spell
increases by 1 minute for each slot level above 2nd.
This extended duration allows the caster to maintain
their impervious state for an extended period,
enhancing their survivability in dangerous situations.
Casting:
To cast Arcane Repulsion, the caster must stand
firmly on the ground and extend their arms outward.
As they speak the incantation in a commanding
voice, their hands weave intricate patterns in the air,
tracing out the shape of an ethereal shield. The
caster must focus their concentration and tap into
their inner reserves of magical energy to form and
activate the protective field successfully.
Flavor:
As the caster utters the incantation, the air crackles
with energy, and a vibrant glow envelops their body.
The energy manifests as a pulsating, translucent
shield, shimmering with colors that shift and change
like a mesmerizing aurora. The shield is a visual
representation of the arcane barrier that surrounds
the caster, projecting an imposing presence and
radiating a sense of impenetrable defense. The
sound accompanying the spell resembles a
harmonious chorus of echoing chimes, resonating
with an otherworldly melody that inspires awe and
dread in equal measure.

Description:
Celestial Resurgence is a powerful spell that taps
into the energies of the celestial planes, allowing the
563
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
caster to bring a fallen ally back to life with full hit
points. This spell is a beacon of hope and divine
intervention, restoring life to those who have
perished in battle. When casting Celestial
Resurgence, the necromancer channels their magic
through their hands, laying them upon the fallen
comrade's chest. As the magic takes hold, a warm
golden light emanates from the necromancer's touch,
enveloping the fallen ally.
The spell instantly restores the target creature to life,
completely healing their wounds and rejuvenating
their body and spirit. The resurrected ally awakens
with a gasp, their eyes opening to reveal a renewed
sense of vitality. The spell also bestows temporary
bonuses upon the resurrected creature. They gain
advantage on all saving throws for the next hour as
their body and mind are infused with celestial energy,
fortifying their resilience against future threats.
Additionally, their speed is increased by 10 feet for
the same duration, allowing them to move with a
swiftness inspired by the divine.
The power of Celestial Resurgence extends to fallen
creatures regardless of their nature, aligning their
soul temporarily with celestial forces. However, there
are limitations to this spell. The creature must have
been dead for no longer than 1 minute, otherwise,
the spell cannot restore them to life. Additionally, the
spell cannot resurrect constructs, undead, or
creatures that lack a soul.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When Celestial Resurgence is cast using a spell slot
of 4th level or higher, the temporary bonuses
bestowed upon the resurrected creature are
extended. For each slot level above 3rd, the
advantage on saving throws and the increase in
speed lasts for an additional hour.
Casting:
To cast Celestial Resurgence, the necromancer must
perform a solemn incantation, reciting ancient verses
that beseech the celestial powers for aid. As the
incantation is spoken, the necromancer must place
the diamond worth at least 300 gold pieces upon the
fallen ally's chest. The diamond is consumed by the
spell, its essence absorbed into the resurrected
creature's body, serving as a conduit for the celestial
energy.
Flavor:
When Celestial Resurgence is cast, the air around
the necromancer becomes charged with a palpable
energy. Soft ethereal whispers fill the surroundings,
like distant voices singing hymns of hope and rebirth.
As the necromancer touches the fallen ally, a radiant
aura blossoms from their hand, spreading across the
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
body of the deceased. The glow intensifies, bathing
the fallen comrade in a brilliant golden light. The light
slowly recedes, leaving the resurrected creature with
a faint luminescence that lingers for a short while,
serving as a reminder of the divine intervention that
has taken place.

Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Dexterity saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Cosmic Conduit is a spell that taps into the vast
power of the celestial bodies, channeling it into a
focused beam of energy that can decimate a single
target. When casting this spell, you gather the
cosmic energies around you, weaving them into a
radiant beam of pure celestial might. As you release
the energy, it surges forth like a blazing comet,
streaking through the air toward your intended victim.
Upon a successful Dexterity saving throw, the target
takes 8d6 radiant damage. If the target fails the
saving throw, it takes the full force of the cosmic
power, suffering 12d6 radiant damage. The intense
celestial energy is overwhelming, leaving the target
scorched and smoldering in its wake.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When you cast Cosmic Conduit using a spell slot of
4th level or higher, the damage increases by 2d6 for
each slot level above 3rd.
Casting:
To cast Cosmic Conduit, you must stand with your
feet planted firmly on the ground, facing the night
sky. As you begin the incantation, your voice
resonates with a harmonic melody, mimicking the
celestial sounds of distant stars. With each verse,
your hands weave intricate patterns in the air, tracing
the constellations that are aligned with your target.
As the incantation reaches its climax, you thrust your
hands forward, palms open wide. A brilliant beam of
white-gold energy materializes, charged with cosmic
radiance. The energy pulses and dances within your
grasp, eager to be unleashed upon your foe. With a
forceful thrust of your arms, the beam shoots forth,
leaving a trail of stardust in its wake.
Flavor:
564
Hexmaster
When Cosmic Conduit is cast, the surrounding area
is bathed in an ethereal glow, as if the very fabric of
reality is shifting. The air crackles with celestial
energy, and a faint hum, reminiscent of distant solar
winds, fills the air. As the beam is released, it takes
on the appearance of a radiant comet, leaving a
trailing tail of shimmering stardust as it streaks
through the sky. The impact is cataclysmic, with a
blinding explosion of radiant light and a resonating
boom that echoes like thunder through the cosmos.

Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a small
silver star pendant worth at least 50 gold pieces)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
As you utter the ancient incantations and hold the
silver star pendant aloft, you call upon the mystical
energies of the cosmos to summon a celestial
guardian to aid you in battle. A shimmering portal
emerges before you, revealing a magnificent being
from the celestial realms. The guardian takes the
form of a radiant humanoid figure adorned with
glowing armor and wings of stardust, wielding a
celestial weapon that crackles with otherworldly
energy.
Upon summoning, the Stellar Guardian becomes a
loyal and protective ally, assisting you in combat and
providing enhanced protection. The guardian follows
your mental commands, acting on your turn in
initiative order. While present, it grants you the
following benefits:
1. Additional Attacks: The Stellar Guardian
unleashes devastating attacks against your foes. On
each of your turns, as a bonus action, you can
command the guardian to make a melee attack
against a creature within reach. The attack is made
with a celestial weapon and deals 1d8 radiant
damage on a hit. The guardian's attack bonus is
equal to your spellcasting ability modifier plus your
proficiency bonus.
2. Protective Aura: The celestial presence of the
guardian shields you from harm. While the Stellar
Guardian is active, you gain a +2 bonus to your AC,
reflecting the guardian's ability to intercept and
deflect incoming attacks.
Hexmaster
3. Celestial Resistance: The Stellar Guardian imbues
you with celestial energies, granting resistance to
radiant damage. You take half damage from any
radiant damage that you would normally receive.
The Stellar Guardian remains with you for the
duration of the spell or until it is reduced to 0 hit
points. It can move and take actions independently,
but it cannot move more than 60 feet away from you
or enter another plane of existence. If you cast this
spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the
guardian's melee attack damage increases by 1d8
for each slot level above 3rd.
Casting:
To cast Stellar Guardian, you must recite an ancient
incantation while holding the small silver star
pendant worth at least 50 gold pieces. The pendant
acts as a conduit for the celestial energies,
symbolizing your connection to the stars. As you
complete the incantation, the pendant transforms into
pure radiant energy, dissipating into the air and
manifesting the portal through which the guardian
emerges.
Flavor:
As you begin casting the spell, the air around you
grows charged with cosmic energy. The ambient light
in the area dims as the portal opens, revealing a
glimpse of the ethereal realms beyond. A celestial
hum fills the air, resonating with the harmony of the
cosmos. When the guardian materializes, its majestic
presence bathes the surroundings in a radiant glow,
casting intricate star-shaped patterns upon the
ground. The celestial guardian emanates a melodic
celestial hum as it hovers gracefully, wings of
stardust gently fluttering.
Name: Time Warp
School of Magic: Chronomancy
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Time Warp is a spell that taps into the unfathomable
power of time, allowing the caster to manipulate the
fabric of reality itself. With a flicker of concentration,
the caster can alter the outcome of an event,
rewinding time for a brief moment to grant
themselves another chance. This spell is commonly
used by Chronomancers, those who study the
565
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
arcane arts of time manipulation.
When casting Time Warp, the caster focuses their
mind and harnesses the swirling currents of temporal
energy surrounding them. Through intricate gestures
and a complex incantation, they create a ripple in the
time-space continuum, creating a localized distortion
field around themselves.
While under the effects of Time Warp, the caster
gains the ability to reroll a failed attack, saving throw,
or skill check. Once per turn, when they miss an
attack, fail a saving throw, or roll a skill check with a
result they find unsatisfactory, they can use their
reaction to trigger the spell. Time warps around
them, creating a momentary temporal vortex that
allows them to try again.
When activated, the caster experiences a brief
sensation of time slowing down as they tap into the
altered flow of temporal energies. Their surroundings
become hazy and indistinct, while their own
movements become swift and precise. With
newfound clarity, they attempt the action again,
rerolling the previous failed attempt.
However, there are limitations to this powerful spell.
Time Warp can only be used once per round,
ensuring that time manipulation remains a rare and
fleeting occurrence. Additionally, the spell can only
affect the caster themselves, granting no assistance
to allies or hindrance to enemies.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When Time Warp is cast using a spell slot of 4th
level or higher, the caster gains additional uses of
the spell. For every level above 3rd, they gain an
extra use of Time Warp per day. This enhanced
version showcases the caster's mastery over time,
allowing them to manipulate fate with greater
frequency.
Flavor:
As the caster utters the incantation for Time Warp,
their voice takes on an ethereal echo, sounding as if
it comes from both the past and the present
simultaneously. A shimmering aura of shifting colors
envelops their body, reminiscent of a mirage in the
desert. When the spell is activated, time appears to
stretch and ripple around them, creating a visually
striking distortion effect. Observers might witness
fleeting glimpses of the caster's previous actions
replaying in a chaotic sequence within the localized
temporal vortex.
Name: Astral Chains
School of Magic: Conjuration
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 action
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Strength saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Astral Chains is a powerful spell from the School of
Conjuration that allows you to summon ethereal
chains from the astral plane and bind your enemies,
restraining them and inflicting ongoing radiant
damage. When you cast Astral Chains, you must
focus your concentration on a single target within
range. The target creature must make a Strength
saving throw to resist the effects of the spell.
If the target fails the saving throw, ghostly chains
materialize around it, wrapping tightly around its
limbs. The chains emit a radiant glow, symbolizing
the radiant energy coursing through them. The target
becomes restrained for the duration of the spell, and
its movement speed is reduced to 0. The radiant
energy enveloping the chains causes the target to
take 2d8 radiant damage at the start of each of its
turns while restrained.
As the chains hold the target in place, it thrashes and
struggles against its invisible bonds, desperately
trying to break free. The radiant energy emitted by
the chains illuminates the surrounding area with a
celestial glow, creating an otherworldly spectacle.
The restrained creature's movements are
accompanied by a faint, ethereal sound resembling
the distant chiming of celestial bells.
Casting:
To cast Astral Chains, you must utter an incantation
infused with ancient words of binding, calling upon
the energies of the astral plane. As you speak the
incantation, you must make intricate gestures with
your hands, mimicking the motions of a chain being
forged and wrapped around an invisible form. The
somatic component of this spell requires precise and
deliberate movements, symbolizing the control and
restraint you seek to impose upon your target.
Flavor:
When Astral Chains is cast, a shimmering portal to
the astral plane briefly opens, allowing the spectral
chains to emerge and manifest in the material world.
The chains themselves have an otherworldly
appearance, ethereal and translucent, glowing with a
radiant light that shifts in color from celestial blue to
golden white. They appear to be made of pure
energy, their links intertwining and pulsating with
power.
As the chains encircle the target, they emit a faint,
566
Hexmaster
celestial hum, resonating with the very essence of
the astral plane. The restrained creature is
surrounded by a soft, radiant aura, and its
movements are visibly impeded by the ethereal
restraints. The glow from the chains casts long, eerie
shadows, creating an enchanting yet ominous sight
for those who witness the spell's effects.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When Astral Chains is cast using a spell slot of 4th
level or higher, the radiant damage inflicted on the
restrained creature increases by 1d8 for each slot
level above 3rd. Additionally, the duration of the spell
is extended by 1 minute for each slot level above
3rd, allowing you to maintain control over the
restrained target for a longer period. The ethereal
chains gain additional strength, making them even
more difficult to break free from, as they draw upon
the heightened magical energies channeled into the
spell.

classes, and they may require the support of their
allies in intense battles. While they excel in creating
and modifying magical items, their magical abilities
may be limited compared to dedicated spellcasting
classes.
Organizations:
1. The Technomancers Guild: A prestigious
organization dedicated to the study and
advancement of ancient technology. Artificers who
join this guild gain access to extensive resources,

collaboration and innovation among its members.
2. The Order of Menders: Composed of Artificers
with a deep sense of duty and compassion, the
Order of Menders is a group dedicated to healing
and restoration. They travel across Maxxia, aiding
communities affected by ancient disasters and using
their mastery of technology and magic to mend the
broken world.
3. The Clockwork Enclave: A secretive group of
Artificers obsessed with unlocking the secrets of time
and space. They believe that the ancient ruins of
Maxxia hold the key to manipulating the fabric of
reality itself. They delve into forbidden knowledge
and are often seen as extremists by other Artificers
due to their reckless pursuit of power.
Notable Users:

Artificer renowned for her expertise in crafting
intricate mechanical contraptions. She is credited
with inventing the legendary Clockwork Golem, a
colossal automaton that defended her homeland
against hordes of ancient creatures.

specializes in elemental infusions. Seraphina's
mastery over the elements is unmatched, and her
creations can harness the power of fire, lightning,
and ice. She is often sought after by adventurers in
need of powerful elemental weapons.
3. Gideon Cogspark: A Gnome Artificer known for his
eccentric personality and eccentric inventions.
Gideon is always accompanied by his loyal
mechanical companion, Tinker, a clockwork squirrel
that aids him in his adventures. He has a knack for
coming up with unique solutions to complex
problems, often involving explosive devices.
Adventure Hooks:
1. The Lost Vault: Rumors speak of a hidden vault
deep within the ruins of an ancient civilization. It is
said to contain the blueprints for a legendary artifact
capable of reshaping reality. As an Artificer, you
receive a mysterious message revealing the location
of this vault. Will you embark on a perilous journey to
unlock the secrets within?
2. The Unstable Artifact: A powerful magical artifact
has fallen into the wrong hands, threatening to
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes Hexmaster

unleash chaos and destruction upon the world. The

artifact requires an Artificer's expertise to neutralize
its destructive potential. As one of the few capable of
controlling its power, you must track down the artifact
and prevent it from falling into the clutches of evil
forces.

3. The Mechanical Menace: A malfunctioning army of

ancient war machines has awoken from its dormant
state deep within the ruins. The machines wreak
havoc on nearby settlements, and their destructive
power threatens to plunge the region into chaos. As
an Artificer, you are called upon to find a way to stop
the mechanical menace and restore peace to the Artificer Spell List
land.

Variants:
1. Technomancer (Elf Variant): Elves from the
ancient city of Etheria have developed a unique
branch of Artificers known as Technomancers. They
focus on combining their innate elven magic with the
advanced technology of Maxxia, creating powerful
magical artifacts that blend seamlessly with their
natural abilities.
2. Biomancer (Tiefling Variant): Tieflings touched by
the eldritch energies of Maxxia have unlocked a new
path of Artificer known as Biomancers. Instead of
relying solely on technology, Biomancers infuse their
own bodies with magical enhancements, granting
them unique abilities such as shapeshifting and the
manipulation of arcane energy.
Comments: Ah, the Artificer, a class of ingenious
inventors and masters of forgotten knowledge. They
delve into the mysteries of Maxxia's ruins, extracting
arcane secrets from ancient technology. Oh, the
wonders they can create! From clockwork
automatons to dazzling elemental weapons, an
Artificer's workshop is a sight to behold. But beware,
my dear readers, for in their pursuit of mastery, some
Artificers may lose themselves to obsession or be
consumed by the very forces they seek to control.
Balance, as always, is the key to unlocking the true
potential of this class.

Name: Artificer Specialization: Path of the Architect
Level: 1st

Architect, you are not just a mere tinkerer of trinkets
or creator of cursory contraptions. You become a
visionary, a planar draftsman of the highest order,
harnessing ancient knowledge to forge paths across
space and time. Your intimate understanding of
complex magical structures makes you a master in
planning, logistics, and construction of enchanted
edifices.
Mechanics:
Upon choosing this specialization at 1st level, you
gain the ability to effectively command and delegate
tasks to a work crew, be they simple laborers, skilled
artisans, or mystical constructs. You gain advantage
on all Charisma (Persuasion) and Intelligence
(Arcana) checks when dealing with individuals under
your command in a project, ensuring they work
efficiently and harmoniously towards the common
goal.
Hexmaster
Additionally, you become proficient in Cartographer's
Tools and Navigator's Tools. Your expert eye can
map out a path or structure with impeccable
precision, and your navigation skills become second
to none.
Furthermore, you gain a new spellcasting feature -
"Architect's Intuition". With this feature, once per long
rest, you can cast the "Meld Into Stone" spell without
expending a spell slot. You can also cast the "Rope
Trick" spell once per long rest without requiring any
components. As you become more adept in this
path, the power of your Architect's Intuition expands,
allowing you to cast increasingly complex spells that
let you bend space and time.
At the 3rd level, you gain the "Planar Wayfarer"
ability, allowing you to open temporary portals for
travel. You can create a portal once per long rest,
and the portal can be large enough to accommodate

ability. With a full day's work (8 hours) and access to

days equal to your Intelligence modifier.
Through this feature, the Artificer becomes a master
of logistics, travel, and social dynamics, leading and
directing others with expertise and vision, their
wisdom and ingenuity forming the foundation upon
which countless endeavors are built.
Name: Artificer Specialization: Way of the Bomb
Level: 1st
Description: Selecting the Way of the Bomb as an
Artificer isn't simply a choice; it's a passionate
commitment to the study and manipulation of
explosive forces. You become a maestro of
destruction and chaos, guiding the volatile dance of
energy and matter with an expert hand. Your
devices, seemingly innocuous, house within them a
storm waiting to be unleashed - and only you hold
the key. You're not just an Artificer; you're a
pyrotechnician, a demolisher, a one-person siege
unit, and a walking disaster waiting to happen. Your
571
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
path is fraught with danger, but the spectacle of your
power is a sight to behold.
Mechanics:
Upon embracing the Way of the Bomb at 1st level,
you develop an uncanny understanding of explosive
materials and reactive substances. You gain
proficiency in alchemist's supplies and tinker's tools,
enabling you to create and modify explosive devices.
You also gain proficiency in Dexterity saving throws,
reflecting your practiced ability to avoid the blast
radius of your explosive creations.
Furthermore, you gain the Bomb Crafting feature.
During a long rest, you can craft a number of bombs
equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one).
These bombs are magical; they detonate with a
range of 20 feet and inflict damage equivalent to your
Artificer level plus your Intelligence modifier. The
damage is force damage, an expression of the raw,
unleashed energy of your bomb.
At the 3rd level, you unlock the "Delayed Detonation"
feature, enabling you to set a timer on your bombs,
from one round up to a number of minutes equal to
your Intelligence modifier. This feature expands your
strategic possibilities, allowing for traps, distractions,
and complex, synchronized explosions.
Finally, at the 5th level, you unlock the "Master
Blaster" ability. Once per long rest, you can spend an
hour to create a masterpiece of destruction - a Mega
Bomb. This bomb has a blast radius of 40 feet, and it
inflicts damage equivalent to twice your Artificer level
plus twice your Intelligence modifier. The Mega
Bomb is a testament to your explosive prowess, a
concentrated display of the Artificer's destructive
potential.
The Way of the Bomb is not for the faint of heart, but
for those Artificers who can harness its chaotic
power, it offers an explosive set of tools that can
change the tide of any battle.
Name: Artificer Specialization: Path of the Wand
Master
Level: 1st
Description: When an Artificer selects the Path of
the Wand Master, they embrace a path that seeks to
transcend the boundaries of magical focus creation.
As a Wand Master, you recognize the wand as more
than a mere tool for spellcasting. Instead, it is an
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
extension of your will, a versatile instrument that can
reshape reality at your command.
Mechanics:
Upon choosing this specialization at 1st level, you
obtain the ability to craft and modify wands with an
almost supernatural skill. You gain proficiency in the
Artisan's Tools (Wandmaking) and can create wands
given enough time and appropriate materials. The
wands you craft can be used as arcane focus,
allowing you to use your Intelligence modifier instead
of the usual ability modifier for spellcasting when
using your crafted wand. This feature emphasizes
the Artificer's strong ties to the Intelligence attribute.
Additionally, with your extensive knowledge of wand
lore, you can analyze and understand the properties
of any wand you come across. You gain advantage
on Arcana checks when trying to identify the powers
and history of a wand.
At the 3rd level, you unlock the "Wand Versatility"
ability. This feature allows you to store a number of
spells equal to your Intelligence modifier into a wand
you have created. The stored spells can be cast
using the wand, with each use consuming a charge.
The wand has a maximum number of charges equal
to your Intelligence modifier and regains 1d4+1
expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the
wand's last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the wand
crumbles into ashes and is destroyed.
At the 5th level, you gain the "Wand Mastery"
feature. This ability lets you combine the effects of
two spells stored in your wand into a single casting
action (spell levels combined must not exceed the
level of the highest spell you can cast). You must
complete a short or long rest to use this feature
again. This feature demonstrates the wand master's
full command over the potential of their magical foci.
This specialization brings forth the Artificer's inherent
capacity for innovation and adaptability, allowing
them to manipulate and exploit the properties of
magical foci like no other. The Path of the Wand
Master is not just about wands but the ability to
understand and create a symbiosis between the
Artificer and their magical implements.

Name: Technomancy
Level: 1st

creations with magical properties. Through their
expertise in Technomancy, Artificers gain the ability
to manipulate and enhance mundane objects,
imbuing them with magical effects and functionalities.
This skill empowers Artificers to craft enchanted
gadgets, create intricate mechanisms, and modify
existing devices to serve their purposes.

(minimum of 1). To imbue a new object, you must
choose to end the effect on one of your currently
imbued objects.
- The effects of Technomancy last indefinitely until
you use this feature to end them or until you create a
new effect, at which point the oldest effect ends.
- The Technomancy effects cannot directly cause
harm, deal damage, or provide significant combat
advantages. They are primarily meant for non-
combat-related activities and creative interactions.
- You can change the properties of a Technomancy
effect by using your action to touch the imbued
object and infuse it with a new effect.
- You can create Technomancy effects during a short
or long rest by spending 10 minutes and expending
one use of your Infusion Kit.

3rd: Tool Expertise
Name: Artificer's Insight
Level: 3rd
Description: The Artificer's extensive knowledge
and experience with tools grant them a remarkable
aptitude for working with intricate machinery,
deciphering ancient texts, and manipulating magical
artifacts. Artificer's Insight allows them to enhance
their tool proficiency, gaining an intuitive
understanding and expertise in using tools related to
their craft.
Mechanics: The Artificer gains the following
benefits:
1. Tool Mastery: The Artificer's proficiency bonus is
doubled for any ability check they make using any
tool they are proficient with. This bonus also applies
when identifying or disarming traps or interacting with
complex mechanisms.
2. Ancient Lore: The Artificer's deep knowledge of
history and ancient civilizations grants them
advantage on Intelligence (History) checks made to
uncover information about forgotten technology, lost
ruins, or mystical artifacts.
3. Quick Repair: The Artificer can expertly repair
damaged objects during short rests. When spending
Hit Dice to regain hit points, the Artificer can also
repair a damaged object, restoring it to a functional
state. The object must be one they are proficient with
the associated artisan's tools and should not have
been completely destroyed or disintegrated. The
repair process takes 10 minutes per hit point
restored to the object.
4. Linguistic Cipher: The Artificer gains proficiency in
one additional language of their choice. Furthermore,
they can spend 10 minutes studying a written text or
inscription in an unknown language and make an
Intelligence check (with proficiency if they are
proficient in the relevant tool) to decipher its
meaning. The DC for this check is determined by the
complexity and obscurity of the language.
5. Technomantic Intuition: Through their deep
attunement to machinery and arcane devices, the
Artificer gains the ability to detect the presence of
hidden or concealed mechanisms. They can make
an Intelligence (Investigation) check to detect hidden
traps, secret doors, or concealed compartments. The
DC for this check is set by the DM and is influenced
by the complexity and cleverness of the concealed
577
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
mechanism.
6. Master Artificer: At the 10th level, the Artificer's
expertise with tools becomes even more refined. The
Artificer can choose two additional tools to gain
proficiency in, further expanding their repertoire of
craft and understanding.
Name: Craft Artifact
Level: 5th
Description: Craft Artifact
Mechanics:
As an Artificer, you have honed your skills to an
exceptional degree, becoming a master artisan
capable of crafting powerful artifacts. At 5th level,
you gain the ability to craft a unique and
extraordinary magical item known as an artifact.
These artifacts are one-of-a-kind creations that
embody the essence of your craftsmanship and
magical prowess.
Crafting an artifact requires time, resources, and a
deep understanding of the arcane. To create an
artifact, you must gather rare and exotic materials,
delve into ancient ruins to uncover forgotten secrets,
and seek the guidance of sages and experts in
various fields of knowledge.
The process of crafting an artifact is an epic
undertaking, requiring you to invest a significant
amount of time and effort. The exact details of
crafting an artifact are determined by the Hex
Master, who can tailor the requirements and
challenges to suit the campaign's narrative and
balance.
Once you have embarked on the journey to craft an
artifact, the Hex Master will guide you through a
series of quests, trials, and encounters that are tied
to the artifact's creation. These adventures will take
you to far-flung locations, hidden realms, and
treacherous dungeons, testing your mettle and
pushing your skills to the limit.
The mechanics of crafting an artifact are as follows:
1. Artisan's Journey: The process of crafting an
artifact is divided into several stages, each
representing a milestone in your journey. As you
progress through these stages, you will unlock new
abilities, gather unique materials, and uncover the
secrets necessary to complete your masterpiece.
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
2. Quests and Trials: To progress through the stages
of crafting an artifact, you must undertake quests and
trials assigned by the Hex Master. These quests can
involve retrieving rare materials, deciphering ancient
texts, solving intricate puzzles, or overcoming
formidable foes. Successfully completing these
challenges will grant you the knowledge and
resources needed to advance.
3. Time and Resources: Crafting an artifact requires
a significant investment of time and resources. The
Hex Master will determine the specific requirements,
such as the number of days or weeks it takes to
complete each stage, as well as the materials and
components needed. You may need to explore
distant lands, negotiate with powerful beings, or
trade with skilled artisans to acquire the necessary
resources.
4. Artificer's Boon: As you progress through the
stages of crafting an artifact, you will gain unique
abilities and boons that reflect your growing mastery.
These boons can enhance your spellcasting, grant
you additional infusions, improve your ability to
manipulate magic items, or provide other
extraordinary benefits. The specific boons you
receive will depend on the nature and theme of the
artifact you are crafting.
5. Completion and Empowerment: Once you have
completed all the stages and fulfilled the
requirements of crafting an artifact, you will finally
unveil your masterpiece. The Hex Master will
describe the awe-inspiring qualities and powers of
the artifact, which may include game-changing
abilities, potent magical effects, or the ability to
reshape reality itself. The artifact becomes a
testament to your skill, creativity, and dedication as
an Artificer.
Crafting an artifact is a momentous achievement that
sets you apart as a legendary craftsman and magical
artisan. The artifact you create can serve as a focal
point for future adventures, a source of inspiration
and power for your allies, or a catalyst for world-
altering events. Its true potential is limited only by
your imagination and the narrative possibilities of
your campaign.

Spells List
Name: Static Shock
School of Magic: Evocation
Level: 0
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Dexterity
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Static Shock is a spell that harnesses the power of
electricity to create a small surge of electrical energy,
which you can unleash at a target within 60 feet. As
you utter the incantation and weave intricate
gestures with your hands, sparks of crackling energy
begin to gather around your fingertips, illuminating
the area with a faint blue glow.
With a swift motion, you direct the surge of electricity
toward your chosen target. The target must make a
Dexterity saving throw to avoid the incoming
electrical discharge. If the target fails the save, they
are struck by the surge and take 1d8 lightning
damage. However, if they succeed on the saving
throw, they manage to dodge the worst of the shock
and take only half damage.
The raw power of the electricity infuses the air,
creating a brief spectacle of crackling energy as it
arcs toward the target. A tingling sensation fills the
area as the surge of electricity passes through the
target, leaving a faint scent of ozone in the air.
As you grow more proficient in the casting of Static
Shock, you gain the ability to enhance its effects by
casting it using a higher-level spell slot. For each
level beyond the 0 level, the damage increases by
1d8. So, if you were to cast it as a 1st-level spell, it
would deal 2d8 lightning damage, 3d8 at 2nd level,
and so on.
It is important to note that Static Shock requires
quick reflexes and precise timing to cast.
Additionally, the spell can only affect one target at a
time, and it must be within your line of sight. The
electrical surge dissipates upon impact, leaving no
lingering effects on the target or the environment.
Mastering the art of evoking lightning and channeling
Hexmaster
it through your fingertips with the Static Shock spell
allows you to harness the forces of nature and strike
down your enemies with electrifying precision.
Name: Mender's Touch
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 0
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Target: One broken object or construct
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description: Mender's Touch is a practical spell
belonging to the school of Transmutation, designed
to repair broken objects or constructs. With a few
whispered words and deft hand gestures, the caster
channels their magical energy into the damaged
item, invoking the forces of mending and restoration.
To cast Mender's Touch, the spellcaster must
physically touch the broken object or construct. The
object can be of any material or size, as long as it is
within the caster's reach. Upon contact, the magical
energy infused in the caster's fingertips surges into
the broken parts, initiating the mending process.
As the spell takes effect, the object or construct
gradually regains its former integrity. The repair is so
efficient that it immediately restores a number of hit
points equal to 1d8 plus the caster's Intelligence
modifier. The surge of magic knits together shattered
pieces, reattaches severed parts, and reconstructs
damaged mechanisms, leaving the object or
construct looking as good as new.
Mender's Touch is a simple spell, but its utility is
invaluable, especially in situations where a quick
repair can mean the difference between success and
failure. However, it is important to note that this spell
only repairs the physical structure of the object or
construct. It does not restore any magical properties
or abilities that may have been lost due to the
damage.
Enhanced Effects:
When casting Mender's Touch using a spell slot of
1st level or higher, the healing provided by the spell
579
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
increases by an additional 1d8 hit points for each
level above 0. This allows for more substantial
repairs, making it possible to mend more severe
damage or restore larger constructs to full
functionality.
Furthermore, when casting Mender's Touch using a
spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the spell gains an
additional effect. In addition to the hit point
restoration, the spell can now repair complex
mechanisms and intricate magical constructs,
ensuring their complete restoration. This opens up
the possibility of restoring intricate clockwork
devices, enchanted artifacts, or even constructs
infused with elemental energies, provided they are
within the caster's reach.
Name: Arcane Discharge
School of Magic: Evocation
Level: 1st level
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: Self
Target: Weapon or ammunition
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Arcane Discharge is a spell that taps into the raw
power of arcane energy and channels it into a
weapon or ammunition. As you cast this spell, your
eyes shimmer with a brilliant hue of blue, and tiny
motes of energy dance around your fingertips. With a
swift motion, you touch your chosen weapon or
ammunition, infusing it with arcane might.
After casting Arcane Discharge, the next successful
hit you make with the enchanted weapon or
ammunition unleashes a potent force. Your target
feels the impact of the strike amplified by the arcane
energy, taking an additional 1d6 force damage on
top of the regular damage inflicted. The force ripples
through the target, causing them to stumble slightly
under its weight.
However, the enchanted nature of the weapon or
ammunition fades after the attack, leaving it bereft of
its previous magical properties. The spell effectively
reverts the object to its mundane state, leaving no
trace of the arcane energy once expended.
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
For those with a deeper understanding of arcane
magic, higher-level spell slots can be used to
enhance the effects of Arcane Discharge. When cast
using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the additional
force damage increases by 1d6 for each level above
1st.
Arcane Discharge is a versatile spell, often favored
by spellcasters who prefer to augment their attacks
with a touch of the arcane. Whether it's a skilled
elven archer imbuing their arrows with arcane energy
or a battle-hardened wizard empowering their staff
for a final, devastating blow, the spell offers a fleeting
burst of power that can turn the tide of a battle.
As with all evocation spells, Arcane Discharge
carries the potential to cause havoc, but it requires a
keen understanding of the arcane arts and the ability
to tap into the vast energies of the cosmos. It is a
testament to the spellcaster's mastery over magic
and their resourcefulness in combat.
Note: It is important to mention that the description
provided above is tailored for a science fantasy role-
playing game. If you intend to use this spell in a
specific system, such as Dungeons & Dragons, you
may need to adapt the details and mechanics to fit
the rules of that particular game.
Spell Name: Shielding Glyph
School of Magic: Abjuration
Level: 1
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Target: Creature touched
Components: Verbal, somatic, material (a small
diamond worth at least 10 gold pieces, which the
spell consumes)
Duration: 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Shielding Glyph is a potent protective spell that
allows you to create a shimmering glyph of magical
energy, which envelops either yourself or an ally you
touch. This glyph serves as a temporary shield,
granting the target a surge of resilience in the form of
temporary hit points.
As you begin casting the spell, you utter ancient
incantations while tracing intricate patterns in the air
580
Hexmaster
with your fingertips. The small diamond you hold in
your hand disintegrates into a fine, glittering powder
that you sprinkle onto the target, where it
immediately fuses with their skin, leaving behind a
faint ethereal glow.
For the duration of the spell, the target gains
temporary hit points equal to your spellcasting ability
modifier (minimum of 1). These magical hit points
bolster the target's fortitude, providing a buffer
against harm. The energy within the glyph reacts to
any incoming damage, absorbing a portion of it
before dissipating. This allows the target to withstand
blows that would otherwise prove devastating.
However, once the spell's duration ends, the
protective glyph vanishes, and the target becomes
momentarily vulnerable. During the following round,
they are more susceptible to harm, as if the shield's
absence has left them momentarily exposed.
The Shielding Glyph offers great flexibility, as it can
be applied to yourself to bolster your own defenses
or bestowed upon an ally in the heat of battle,
providing a critical lifeline when they need it most.
Whether you seek to protect a brave comrade
charging into the fray or safeguard yourself against
an onslaught of enemies, this spell proves
invaluable.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a
spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the temporary hit
points granted by the Shielding Glyph increase by
1d4 for each slot level above 1st. Additionally, the
vulnerability to damage in the round following the
spell's duration is reduced by half for each slot level
above 1st, to a minimum of 1. This enhancement
allows for even greater resilience and minimizes the
potential risks associated with the spell's protective
effect.
That concludes the description of the Shielding
Glyph spell. Is there anything else I can assist you
with?
Name: Flame Accelerant
School of Magic: Evocation
Level: 1st level
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: Touch
Target: One weapon or ammunition
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Hexmaster
Duration: Until extinguished or 1 minute
(concentration)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Flame Accelerant is a spell that harnesses volatile
magical flames to empower a weapon or
ammunition, allowing it to inflict additional fire
damage on a successful hit. As you cast the spell,
you channel your arcane energy into the target
weapon, infusing it with an ethereal blaze that
dances with fiery intensity.
When the weapon strikes a target successfully, the
volatile flames erupt upon impact, dealing an extra
1d6 fire damage. The flames engulf the target,
searing their flesh and leaving them with a scorching
sensation.
However, the magical flames do not stop at the initial
impact. They continue to burn, causing the wielder of
the empowered weapon to endure a minor
consequence. At the start of their turn, the wielder
takes 1d4 fire damage as the flames lick and cling to
their skin. This continues until the flames are
extinguished or until the spell's duration ends.
The flames of Flame Accelerant can be extinguished
through various means. The most common way is by
immersing the weapon in water, which douses the
enchanted flames, freeing the wielder from the
persistent fire damage. Alternatively, the wielder can
use their action to make a Dexterity check,
attempting to smother the flames or roll on the
ground to extinguish them.
As you cast Flame Accelerant using a spell slot of
2nd level or higher, the additional fire damage
inflicted on a successful hit increases by 1d6 for
each level above 1st.
Flame Accelerant is a powerful tool in the arsenal of
adventurers who wish to harness the destructive
force of fire in their battles. With precise timing and
strategy, one can turn an ordinary weapon into a
blazing instrument of destruction, leaving foes
scorched and smoldering in their wake.
Name: Unstable Dynamo
School of Magic: Evocation
Level: 1st level
581
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: 1 minute
Saving Throw: Dexterity saving throw
Spell Resistance: No
Description: Unleash the power of technological
marvel with the spell Unstable Dynamo. As you cast
this spell, you channel your arcane energy to create
a small and mesmerizing unstable dynamo that
hovers around you. The dynamo emits a faint glow,
casting flickering shadows and illuminating your
surroundings with a soft pulsating light.
While the Unstable Dynamo is active, it grants you
heightened reflexes, enhancing your agility and
granting you advantage on Dexterity saving throws.
This surge of power fills you with a sense of
confidence, knowing that you have an increased
chance to evade danger and overcome obstacles
with ease.
However, the Unstable Dynamo comes with a
drawback. The dynamic nature of its energy creates
a constant buzzing noise, akin to the hum of an
otherworldly machine. This audible disturbance
makes it challenging to remain stealthy, imposing
disadvantage on any Stealth checks you attempt
while the dynamo is active. The buzzing noise
resonates through the air, drawing attention to your
presence and potentially alerting foes to your
location.
To maintain the Unstable Dynamo, you must
concentrate on harnessing its chaotic energies. If
your concentration wavers or is broken, the spell
dissipates, causing the dynamo to vanish. You can
also dismiss the dynamo at any time by willing it
away.
Casting Unstable Dynamo at higher spell levels
enhances its effects. When cast using a spell slot of
2nd level or higher, the advantage on Dexterity
saving throws is retained, but the buzzing noise
intensifies, imposing disadvantage on both Stealth
checks and any checks involving hearing or
perception made by creatures within a 10-foot radius
of you. This amplification serves as both a blessing
and a curse, increasing your chances of avoiding
danger but making it even more challenging to
operate in silence.
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
The Unstable Dynamo is a spell that seamlessly
merges technology and magic, offering a dynamic
advantage in dangerous situations at the cost of
attracting unwanted attention. With this spell, you
harness the power of the arcane and the enigmatic
forces of machinery, empowering yourself while
navigating the intricacies of a science fantasy world.

Requirements: To become a Blood Witch, one must
have an innate connection to blood magic. This class
is available to individuals who have undergone
rigorous training under experienced Blood Witches or
who possess an inherent affinity for manipulating
blood and casting spells.
Appearance: A typical Blood Witch is shrouded in
mystery and exudes an aura of power. They often
wear dark, flowing robes adorned with intricate
blood-red patterns and symbols. Their eyes may
have a crimson glint, reflecting their connection to
blood magic. The air around them may occasionally
shimmer with a subtle haze, hinting at their ethereal
nature.
Limitations: Blood Witches are dependent on the
availability of blood as a component for their spells. If
they cannot access blood, either through injuries or
the absence of living creatures, their spellcasting
abilities may be severely hampered. Additionally,
they are vulnerable to anti-magic effects that disrupt
their connection to blood magic.

Name: Blood Magic
Level: 1st
Description: Blood Magic is the fundamental
practice that defines the Blood Witch. It is the study
and application of the arcane properties of blood,
especially as it pertains to the flow of life force. Blood
Magic allows the Blood Witch to not only enact
powerful spells but also gain unique social, travel,
and command advantages due to their deep
understanding of life's essence.
Blood Witches learn early on that blood's power
extends far beyond the battlefield. It is a medium of
exchange, a method of transport, and a source of
divine prophecy. The understanding of blood allows
them to form powerful bonds, decipher hidden truths
in the life essence of creatures, and even manipulate
the very blood that runs through the veins of the
world and its inhabitants.
This feature gives the Blood Witch an intuitive
understanding of the intricate web of life, power, and
magic that is present in every drop of blood. They
are able to use their Blood Talisman to unlock the
power within blood, allowing them to channel and
manipulate its life-giving properties in a myriad of
ways.
Mechanics:
Blood Reading: The Blood Witch can use a small
sample of blood (theirs or someone else's) to gain
information about the creature it came from. They
can determine the creature's general health status,
alignment, and race. This can provide them an
advantage in social interactions, negotiations, or
even tracking creatures.
Blood Portal: At 1st level, Blood Witches are able to
infuse a few drops of their own blood into a surface
to create a small, temporary portal. This portal can
be used to transport small items (no larger than the
portal itself) between locations. It is limited to a
maximum distance of 500 feet at 1st level, and the
distance increases by 500 feet at 5th, 10th, 15th, and
20th levels.
Blood Command: Blood Witches can use the blood
Hexmaster
of creatures they've made a Blood Bond with to exert
a subtle influence over them. This does not give
direct control, but it does allow the Blood Witch to
provide suggestions or orders, which the bonded
creature will feel a strong urge to follow. The Blood
Witch can command a number of creatures equal to
their Intelligence modifier (minimum of one).
Name: Blood Sense
Level: 1st
Description: Blood Sense allows the Blood Witch to
tap into their innate connection with blood and sense
its presence within a certain range. This ability
enhances their perception and grants them unique
insights into the life forces around them.
Mechanics:
Range: 30 feet
Activation: Passive ability, always active within range
Effect: The Blood Witch gains a supernatural sense
that allows them to detect the presence of blood.
This sense extends to both living creatures and
spilled blood.
Perception: The Blood Witch can discern the
approximate location of blood within range, even if it
is concealed or obscured. They can sense the
intensity and quantity of blood, enabling them to
determine if it is a small drop or a large pool, and
whether it belongs to a humanoid or a different
creature.
Vitality Assessment: By focusing their senses, the
Blood Witch can evaluate the vitality and health of a
living creature within range. They can sense the
general well-being of a creature, identifying if it is in
good health, injured, or near death.
Blood Awareness: The Blood Witch gains an
instinctive understanding of the emotional and
physical states associated with the presence of
blood. They can detect emotions such as fear, pain,
and anger linked to blood-related events or
encounters.
Complementary Abilities: The Blood Sense ability
synergizes with other class features, allowing the
Blood Witch to make informed decisions and employ
strategic tactics. For example, when using Blood
Infusion (acquired at 2nd level), the Blood Witch can
determine the optimal amount of their blood to use
for a particular spell or effect, maximizing efficiency
and minimizing personal risk.
As the Blood Witch advances in level, their Blood
Sense ability becomes more refined and powerful,
granting them additional insights and expanding their
understanding of the life force contained within
blood.

Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Name: Blood Bond
Level: 2nd
Description: Blood Bond is a unique ability of the
Blood Witch that allows them to form a deep and
mystical connection with another creature through
the exchange of blood. This bond transcends mere
physical ties and creates a powerful link on a spiritual
level. By forging a Blood Bond, the Blood Witch can
establish a profound connection with their allies or
creatures they encounter, strengthening their bonds
and enhancing their cooperation.
Mechanics:
Range: Touch
Duration: Until dispelled or broken
Components: Vial of blood from both parties
involved in the bond
Casting Time: 1 action
To perform the Blood Bond, the Blood Witch and the
target creature must willingly offer a vial of their
blood, which is mixed together in a small ritual. The
Blood Witch then traces intricate symbols with the
blood mixture on the foreheads of both individuals,
marking them as bonded.
Once the Blood Bond is established, the following
effects occur:
Empathy Link: The Blood Witch and the bonded
creature can share their emotions and general well-
being with each other. They gain an innate
understanding of each other's feelings and
intentions, allowing for better coordination and
teamwork. This heightened empathic connection
provides advantage on ability checks and saving
throws made to understand or communicate with
each other.
Healing Bond: When the Blood Witch casts a healing
spell that targets themselves, they can choose to
extend the healing to their bonded creature within 30
feet. The bonded creature regains hit points equal to
half the amount of healing received by the Blood
Witch.
Shared Resistance: The Blood Witch and the bonded
creature gain resistance to the same damage types.
When either the Blood Witch or the bonded creature
succeeds on a saving throw against a damaging
effect that deals the chosen damage type, they both
take half damage instead of none or full damage.
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Blood Awareness: The Blood Witch becomes acutely
aware of their bonded creature's vital signs and well-
being. They can sense their approximate location,
general health status, and any significant injuries or
ailments. This awareness extends up to 1 mile, even
through barriers, but is limited to the bonded
creature.
Note: The Blood Bond can be broken if one of the
bonded individuals willingly spills their blood to sever
the connection. Additionally, if either party becomes
hostile toward the other or acts against their best
interests, the bond weakens and eventually breaks
over time.
Name: Blood Infusion
Level: 2nd
Description: Blood Infusion is a powerful ability that
allows the Blood Witch to infuse their own blood with
magical properties, enhancing their spellcasting
abilities and granting them additional control over the
vital fluid within their body.
Mechanics: When the Blood Witch reaches 2nd
level, they gain the following benefits:
Blood Magic Enhancement: The Blood Witch's spells
that require a blood component, either from
themselves or others, become more potent. The
damage or healing inflicted by these spells is
increased by 1d4.
Enhanced Blood Bond: The Blood Witch's ability to
establish blood bonds with creatures is strengthened.
They can now establish a blood bond with up to
three creatures simultaneously, instead of just one.
Additionally, the range at which the bond can be
established increases to 60 feet.
Blood Mastery Reserves: The Blood Witch's control
over their own blood improves. They gain a pool of
Blood Mastery Points equal to their Intelligence
modifier (minimum of 1). These points can be
expended to enhance their blood-related abilities or
to manipulate blood outside their body.
Blood Manipulation: By expending 1 Blood Mastery
Point, the Blood Witch can manipulate a small
quantity of blood within a range of 30 feet, causing it
to flow or coagulate, as desired. This can be used to
create obstacles, redirect blood-based attacks, or
immobilize enemies momentarily.
586
Hexmaster
Blood Sacrifice: By expending 1 hit point and 1 Blood
Mastery Point, the Blood Witch can cast a spell
without expending a spell slot. This sacrifice of their
own life essence enhances the spell's effectiveness,
increasing its save DC or healing/damage output by
2. Bloodline Recovery: By expending 2 Blood
Mastery Points, the Blood Witch can regain a spell
slot of 1st or 2nd level. This represents the Blood
Witch harnessing the latent magical energy stored
within their blood to replenish their spellcasting
abilities.
Name: Blood Curse
Level: 3rd
Description: Blood Curse is a potent ability that
allows the Blood Witch to impose cursed afflictions
on their enemies by manipulating their blood. By
tapping into their arcane knowledge and harnessing
the power of blood magic, the Blood Witch can curse
their foes, weakening them and hindering their
abilities.
Mechanics:
Range: 60 feet
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Constitution
Spellcasting Modifier: Intelligence
When using the Blood Curse feature, the Blood
Witch selects a target within 60 feet and utters an
incantation infused with blood magic. The target
must make a Constitution saving throw against the
Blood Witch's spellcasting modifier. On a failed save,
the target is afflicted by a blood curse, suffering
various effects depending on the specific curse
applied.
The Blood Witch gains access to a variety of curses
as they advance in level, each with its unique effects.
Here are a few examples:
Curse of Languid Stride: The target's movement
speed is reduced by 15 feet until the end of their next
turn. Additionally, they have disadvantage on
Dexterity saving throws.
Curse of Withered Vitality: The target's maximum hit
points are reduced by 1d4, and they suffer
disadvantage on Constitution saving throws until the
end of their next long rest.
Curse of Hemorrhagic Pain: The target takes 1d6
necrotic damage at the start of each of their turns for
the next minute. They can repeat the Constitution
Hexmaster
saving throw at the end of each of their turns, ending
the curse on a success.
The Blood Witch can use this feature a number of
times equal to their proficiency bonus per long rest.
The number of curses available to choose from
increases as the Blood Witch gains levels, offering a
wider array of debilitating effects.
Name: Blood Flow Manipulation
Level: 3rd
Description: Blood Flow Manipulation is a unique
ability granted to Blood Witches, allowing them to
control the movement and flow of blood within living
creatures, including themselves and others. Through
their mastery of blood magic, they can manipulate
the circulatory system to alter the physical and
mental states of their targets.
Mechanics:
Range: Touch
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
When using Blood Flow Manipulation, the Blood
Witch must make physical contact with the target,
placing their hand on the individual's body. By
channeling their magic and focusing their intent, they
can affect the target's blood flow in various ways.
The effects of Blood Flow Manipulation can be both
beneficial and detrimental, depending on the Blood
Witch's intent and the target's disposition.
Blood Rush: The Blood Witch can increase the blood
flow within a target's body, granting them a surge of
energy and heightened physical capabilities. The
target gains advantage on Strength and Dexterity
ability checks and saving throws, as well as
increased movement speed by 10 feet for the
duration of the ability.
Blood Calm: Alternatively, the Blood Witch can slow
down the blood flow within a target, inducing a state
of calmness and mental clarity. The target gains
advantage on Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma
ability checks and saving throws, and they have
advantage on concentration checks for the duration.
Blood Stasis: The Blood Witch can manipulate the
blood flow to induce a temporary state of stasis in a
wounded ally, preventing further bleeding and
stabilizing them. When the Blood Witch uses this
ability on a creature with 0 hit points, the creature
becomes stable and no longer needs to make death
saving throws. The effect lasts until the end of the
587
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
ability's duration or until the target regains hit points.
Blood Vortex: By exerting precise control over blood
flow, the Blood Witch can disrupt the balance within
an enemy's body, causing dizziness, confusion, and
loss of coordination. The target must make a
Constitution saving throw against the Blood Witch's
spell save DC. On a failed save, the target is affected
by the Confusion spell for the duration of the ability.
The Blood Witch can use Blood Flow Manipulation a
number of times equal to their Intelligence modifier
(minimum of once). They regain expended uses after
finishing a long rest. Additionally, the Blood Witch
can maintain concentration on this ability while
performing other actions, such as exploration or
social interactions, but combat or taking damage
ends the concentration.
Note: The effects of Blood Flow Manipulation are
purely magical and do not cause any physical harm
to the target's body unless used in a harmful manner,
such as inducing blood clots or purposely altering
blood pressure. The ability is primarily intended for
non-combat applications, emphasizing the Blood
Witch's versatility in various scenarios.
Name: Blood Pact
Level: 4th
Description: Blood Pact represents the Blood
Witch's ability to forge powerful bonds with other
creatures through the exchange of blood. By forming
a pact with another being, the Blood Witch
establishes a unique connection that grants them
certain benefits and abilities.
Mechanics:
Blood Pact Ritual: The Blood Witch can initiate a
Blood Pact ritual with a willing creature that has a
circulatory system. The ritual requires a significant
exchange of blood between the Blood Witch and the
target creature. Both parties must willingly offer a
small amount of their own blood, which is mixed
together in a ritualistic manner. The ritual takes 10
minutes to complete and requires the use of the
Blood Talisman as a focus.
Blood Bond: Upon successfully completing the Blood
Pact ritual, the Blood Witch and the target creature
establish a supernatural bond. This bond grants the
following benefits:
Shared Vitality: While the Blood Witch and the
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
bonded creature are within 30 feet of each other,
they can share their hit points. As a bonus action, the
Blood Witch can transfer hit points from themselves
to the bonded creature or vice versa. The amount
transferred is equal to the Blood Witch's level
multiplied by their Intelligence modifier. This transfer
can exceed the maximum hit points of the recipient,
but any excess hit points are lost.
Shared Senses: The Blood Witch and the bonded
creature can share their sensory perceptions. As an
action, the Blood Witch can see and hear through the
senses of the bonded creature for up to 1 minute.
This ability can be used a number of times equal to
the Blood Witch's Intelligence modifier (minimum of
1), and the uses are regained after a long rest.
Blood Awareness: The Blood Witch gains a
heightened awareness of the bonded creature's
condition. They can always sense the general
direction and distance to the bonded creature, even if
they are on different planes of existence.
Additionally, the Blood Witch can detect the
presence of any blood-related magical effects or
influences within 60 feet of themselves.
Enhanced Blood Magic: The Blood Witch's
connection to their bonded creature enhances their
blood magic abilities. Whenever the Blood Witch
casts a spell that requires the expenditure of hit
points, they can choose to draw the required blood
from their bonded creature instead of themselves.
This ability does not affect the bonded creature's hit
points but establishes a temporary link between the
Blood Witch and the spell, amplifying its effects. The
spell gains a bonus equal to the Blood Witch's
Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1) to any relevant
saving throws, damage, or healing done.
Note: The Blood Pact can only be established with a
willing creature, and the bond can be severed at any
time by either the Blood Witch or the bonded
creature by performing a specific ritual, undoing the
connection between them.
Name: Blood Mastery
Level: 5th
Description: Blood Mastery represents the pinnacle
of a Blood Witch's control over blood magic. At this
level, the Blood Witch's expertise and knowledge of
blood manipulation reaches new heights, granting
them enhanced abilities and a deeper understanding
of the life force coursing through their veins.
588
Hexmaster
Mechanics:
Blood Transfusion: As an action, you can perform a
Blood Transfusion, sacrificing a portion of your own
blood to restore the health of a willing creature within
30 feet of you. The target regains hit points equal to
your Blood Witch level plus your Intelligence
modifier. Once you use this feature, you must
complete a long rest before you can use it again.
Blood Boon: You have honed your ability to imbue
your blood with magical properties. During a short or
long rest, you can spend 10 minutes creating a Blood
Boon. Choose one of the following effects for the
Blood Boon:
Boon of Resilience: The recipient of the Blood Boon
gains temporary hit points equal to your Blood Witch
level plus your Constitution modifier. These
temporary hit points last for 1 hour.
Boon of Vigor: The recipient of the Blood Boon gains
advantage on Constitution saving throws for 1 hour.
Boon of Speed: The recipient of the Blood Boon's
movement speed increases by 10 feet for 1 hour.
Blood Puppetry: Through your mastery of blood
magic, you can animate the blood of fallen creatures,
transforming it into a loyal minion. When a creature
dies within 30 feet of you, you can use your reaction
to animate its blood, creating a Blood Puppet. The
Blood Puppet is a Medium-sized creature with the
same statistics as the original creature but is under
your control. The Blood Puppet remains animated for
1 hour or until it is reduced to 0 hit points. You can
only have one Blood Puppet active at a time.
Blood Pact Enhancement: Your Blood Pact feature
gains additional benefits. Whenever you use Blood
Pact to form a bond with a creature, the bonded
creature gains temporary hit points equal to your
Blood Witch level plus your Constitution modifier.
These temporary hit points last until the bond is
broken or the creature completes a long rest.
Blood Travel: By tapping into the ancient bloodlines
coursing through your veins, you gain the ability to
traverse great distances in an instant. Once per long
rest, as an action, you can expend a use of your
Blood Talisman and teleport yourself and up to five
willing creatures you can see within 30 feet of you to
a location you are familiar with, or to a location you
have marked with a drop of your own blood.
Hexmaster
Name: Hemorrhage
Level: 5th
Description: Hemorrhage is a powerful and
gruesome ability that allows the Blood Witch to
exploit the life force within their enemies, causing
internal bleeding and weakening their foes with each
passing moment. This dark and sinister spell taps
into the very essence of blood, siphoning it from the
veins of their adversaries and using it to fuel the
Blood Witch's own power.
Mechanics: As an action, the Blood Witch targets a
creature they can see within 60 feet and makes a
spell attack roll using their spellcasting ability. On a
hit, the target takes 4d6 necrotic damage, and blood
vessels rupture within their body, causing them to
bleed profusely. The target must make a Constitution
saving throw against the Blood Witch's spell save
DC. On a failed save, the target takes an additional
2d6 necrotic damage at the start of each of their
turns for the next minute. The target can repeat the
saving throw at the end of each of their turns, ending
the additional damage on a success.
Furthermore, if the target is subjected to any healing
before the duration of the hemorrhage ends, the
Blood Witch can choose to drain the life force
instead. The target regains half the normal amount of
hit points from the healing effect, and the Blood
Witch gains temporary hit points equal to the amount
drained.
The Blood Witch can use this ability a number of
times equal to their Intelligence modifier (minimum of
once), and they regain all expended uses after
finishing a long rest. Additionally, when using
Hemorrhage, the Blood Witch's Blood Talisman
pulses with an eerie crimson glow, signifying the dark
power coursing through their veins.
Spell List:
Name: Blood Lance
School of Magic: Hemomancy (a subfield of
Necromancy)
Level: 0 (Cantrip)
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature or object within range
Components: Verbal (the words "Exsanguinate
Alacer"), Somatic (a swift, spear-throwing motion),
589
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Material (a drop of the caster's blood)
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Dexterity saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Drawing upon the primal and forbidden school of
Hemomancy, Blood Lance allows the caster to
manifest a violent manifestation of life essence itself
- blood. Hemomancy, it is told, was first practiced by
the ancient and forgotten denizens of the sunken
kingdom of Vhys, who sought to control the very
essence of life in their quest for immortality. Their
dark experiments led them to discover the potent
energy contained within the essence of life itself - the
blood. Over the centuries, this lost magic resurfaced
and evolved into the school of Hemomancy, and the
notorious Blood Lance became one of the
fundamental spells taught to practitioners.
This cantrip calls for the caster to prick a finger, the
spell converting a single drop of blood into a lethal
projectile. As the words of power are spoken, the
blood transforms into a glowing, red lance, its form
as sharp as any wrought iron spear. This magical
javelin crackles with scarlet energy, its surface
shimmering as if it were not solid but a flowing liquid
held in a lance-like form. Yet it possesses a deadly
rigidity that belies its liquid nature.
When the spell is cast, the blood lance is hurled at
the target, seeking to pierce flesh and bone. Should
it strike true, the target takes 1d8 piercing damage as
the lance explodes into a shower of scarlet energy
upon impact. Despite its gruesome origins, the spell
leaves no wound or sign of injury save for the trauma
of the impact itself, the blood used in its casting
completely evaporated by the magical process.
A creature targeted by Blood Lance is permitted a
Dexterity saving throw to attempt to evade the attack.
On a successful save, the creature takes half
damage, skillfully evading the full brunt of the attack.
This spell scales with the level of the caster. At 2nd
level, the damage increases to 2d8, at 4th level it
increases to 3d8, and at 5th level it increases to 4d8.
This represents the caster's growing proficiency in
Hemomancy and their increased ability to harness
the life energy in their blood.
Name: Blood Bond
School of Magic: Divination
Level: 0
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Target: One willing creature
Components: Verbal, somatic
Duration: 10 minutes
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Blood Bond is a spell that allows you to forge a
mystical connection with a willing creature, enabling
you to share sensations, emotions, and thoughts. As
you begin casting the spell, your fingertips glow with
a soft, pulsating light, symbolizing the ethereal bond
you are about to create.
To initiate the spell, you must gently touch the
creature, allowing a surge of arcane energy to flow
between you. Once the connection is established,
you and the target become linked on a deep
metaphysical level, transcending the boundaries of
ordinary communication.
As the Blood Bond takes effect, your consciousness
intertwines with that of the target, enabling a
profound sharing of experiences. You can sense
their emotions, feel their physical sensations, and
even delve into their thoughts and memories. This
profound connection allows you to understand their
intentions, fears, and desires, fostering a deep level
of empathy between you and the target.
During the duration of the spell, you and the target
can communicate telepathically, exchanging
thoughts and feelings effortlessly. This connection is
bidirectional, allowing both parties to share their
innermost secrets and insights. The thoughts
transmitted are accompanied by a faint, soothing
melody that resonates in your minds, enhancing the
magical bond between you.
While the Blood Bond provides a channel for
emotional and mental communion, it does not grant
control over the target's actions or thoughts. The
spell is based on trust and understanding, promoting
a cooperative and empathetic relationship.
Attempting to exploit or manipulate the shared
connection would sever the bond, rendering the spell
ineffective.
Casting Blood Bond using a higher-level spell slot
strengthens the connection and extends the duration.
When cast as a higher-level spell, the duration
590
Hexmaster
increases by 10 minutes for each level above 0.
Additionally, the range of the spell expands, allowing
you to establish a bond with a willing creature within
5 feet per level above 0.
As a caster of Blood Bond, you possess a profound
responsibility to respect the trust and privacy of the
target. Misusing this intimate connection may have
severe consequences, potentially damaging the
bond or straining the relationship between you and
the target.
Note: Blood Bond cannot be cast on unwilling
creatures or those lacking the capacity for consent,
such as mindless beings or those under the influence
of magical or psychic control.
Name: Blood Mist
School of Magic: Evocation
Level: 1st level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (20-foot radius)
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
As you begin to cast the Blood Mist spell, you utter
ancient incantations and make intricate gestures with
your hands. The air around you darkens, and a
feeling of dread permeates the atmosphere.
Suddenly, crimson droplets materialize out of thin air,
forming a thick mist of blood that surrounds you and
your allies in a 20-foot radius.
Once the Blood Mist envelops the area, it provides
concealment, obscuring vision and making it difficult
for enemies to target you and your allies accurately.
The mist takes on a reddish hue, causing a sense of
unease and discomfort for those within it. It shrouds
you in an otherworldly aura, enhancing your
intimidation and presence.
While within the mist, you and your allies gain the
benefits of partial concealment. Attacks made
against you have a higher chance of missing, as the
mist distorts vision and makes it harder for enemies
to discern your exact position. This provides you with
a +2 bonus to AC, making it more challenging for
enemies to land a successful blow.
Hexmaster
The Blood Mist persists for the duration of the spell
or until you choose to end it. It requires your
concentration to maintain, but you can take other
actions, such as casting additional spells or
attacking, while keeping the mist active. However, if
you lose concentration, the mist dissipates instantly.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When you cast Blood Mist using a spell slot of 2nd
level or higher, the concealment provided by the mist
becomes even more potent. The bonus to AC
increases by +1 for each level above 1st, making it
increasingly difficult for enemies to strike you and
your allies. Additionally, the mist becomes more
dense and unsettling, instilling fear in the hearts of
those who dare approach. Creatures hostile to you
that start their turn within the mist must make a
Wisdom saving throw or be frightened until the end
of their turn.
Name: Blood Sleep
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: 1st level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, somatic
Duration: 1 minute
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
The Blood Sleep spell taps into the mystical forces of
the cosmos to manipulate the blood flow within the
target's brain, inducing a profound and magical
slumber. As you cast the spell, you weave intricate
patterns with your hands, tracing the sigils of sleep in
the air, and whispering ancient incantations that
resonate with the primordial essence of life itself.
Upon completing the casting, a subtle, ethereal aura
surrounds the targeted creature, causing their vision
to blur momentarily. The spell's effect takes hold,
gently influencing the flow of blood within the target's
cerebral veins and arteries. This alteration disrupts
their neural signals and triggers a deep sense of
drowsiness that overwhelms their consciousness.
The target must make a Wisdom saving throw to
resist the spell's effects. If they fail, a wave of
lethargy washes over them, and their eyelids grow
heavy with weariness. They succumb to a profound
591
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
slumber, seemingly unaware of their surroundings,
as if they were drifting through the depths of an
otherworldly dream.
While affected by Blood Sleep, the target is
considered unconscious and incapacitated, unable to
take any actions or perceive their surroundings.
However, any external stimulus, such as a loud noise
or a jarring physical touch, has a chance to awaken
them prematurely. The target can make a new
saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending
the effect on a success.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When casting Blood Sleep using a spell slot of 2nd
level or higher, the potency of the spell increases.
The range of the spell expands by an additional 30
feet for each slot level above 1st. Additionally, if the
target fails its saving throw against the enhanced
spell, it remains asleep for the duration of the spell,
even if subjected to minor disturbances that would
usually awaken them. The target still gets a new
saving throw at the end of each turn to end the
effect.
Spell Name: Blood Armor
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 1st level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Blood Armor is a spell that taps into the raw essence
of your own life force, allowing you to temporarily
transform your blood into a protective armor. As you
channel your magical energy, your blood thickens
and solidifies, forming a crimson barrier around your
body. This spell grants you temporary hit points and
increases your Armor Class (AC) for the duration.
Upon casting Blood Armor, you feel a surge of power
coursing through your veins as your blood begins to
change. Your skin takes on a faint reddish hue, and
a shimmering aura envelops you, indicating the
presence of the magical barrier.
For the duration of the spell, you gain a number of
temporary hit points equal to 5 + your spellcasting
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
ability modifier. These additional hit points bolster
your resilience, acting as a buffer against incoming
attacks. Any damage you take is first subtracted from
these temporary hit points before affecting your
actual health.
In addition to the temporary hit points, your Armor
Class increases by 2 for the duration of the spell.
The thickened blood armor forms a protective layer
that enhances your natural defenses, making it more
difficult for foes to land successful blows. This bonus
to your AC applies to all forms of attacks, whether
they be physical strikes, spells, or other magical
effects.
Should an opponent attempt to harm you physically
while Blood Armor is active, they may find their
weapons or claws glancing off your resilient barrier,
their attacks hindered by the supernatural protection
bestowed upon you. Spells and magical effects also
face resistance, struggling to penetrate the fortified
layer of blood armor surrounding you.
To maintain the blood armor's potency, you must
concentrate on the spell. If your concentration is
broken, such as by taking damage or casting another
spell that requires concentration, the spell ends
prematurely, and the protective blood armor
dissipates.
For each level above 1st at which you cast Blood
Armor, the temporary hit points granted by the spell
increase by 5, and the AC bonus increases by 1. For
example, if you cast it as a 2nd-level spell, you would
gain 10 temporary hit points and increase your AC by
3.
Note: The Blood Armor spell can only be cast by
those who possess an innate connection to their own
life force and have mastered the art of manipulating
blood magic.
Name: Blood Hex
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: 1st level

Components: Verbal, somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
592
Hexmaster
With the power of enchantment, you can unleash the
dark art of the Blood Hex. This spell allows you to
curse a target with a debilitating hex, imposing
penalties on their ability checks. As you begin
casting the spell, your voice takes on an eerie tone,
and your hand traces intricate symbols in the air,
imbued with the essence of ancient magic.
When you complete the casting of the Blood Hex,
you select a target creature within range. The target
becomes cursed as dark tendrils of energy wrap
around them, infiltrating their very essence. The
cursed creature must make a Wisdom saving throw
or be affected by the hex.
While under the influence of the Blood Hex, the
cursed creature experiences a disturbing sensation
of their blood turning thick and sluggish. This impairs
their ability to perform effectively, resulting in
penalties to their ability checks. The target's skill and
proficiency seem to falter as they struggle to
overcome the curse.
For the duration of the spell, the cursed creature has
disadvantage on all ability checks. Whether they
attempt to pick a lock, climb a wall, persuade an
NPC, or any other task that relies on their abilities,
the curse weighs heavily upon them, making success
elusive.
Enhanced Effects: When you cast Blood Hex using a
spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the penalties inflicted
on the cursed creature intensify. For each level
above 1st, the target suffers an additional -1 penalty
to their ability checks. This increased effect reflects
your mastery over enchantment magic, making the
curse more potent and difficult to overcome.
Name: Ray of Blood
School of Magic: Blood Sorcery
Level: 1st level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Constitution saving throw for half
damage, plus additional saving throw for poison
effect
Spell Resistance: No
Hexmaster
Description:
Ray of Blood is a spell rooted in the dark arts of
Blood Sorcery, a forbidden school of magic that
draws upon the life essence of living beings. With
this spell, the caster taps into the primordial power of
tainted blood, channeling it into a focused beam of
crimson energy. As the spell is cast, the air around
the caster becomes heavy with an unsettling aura, as
if the very fabric of reality recoils from the malevolent
energy being harnessed.
With a swift incantation and a sweeping gesture, the
caster releases the Ray of Blood toward a chosen
target within range. The beam, tinged with a sickly
hue, streaks through the air with unholy speed,
leaving a faint trail of mist in its wake. Upon impact,
the beam explodes into a burst of corrupting energy,
causing damage to the unfortunate victim.
The Ray of Blood inflicts 1d8 necrotic damage to the
target upon a successful hit. In addition to the initial
damage, the tainted blood carries a virulent poison,
causing the target to make a Constitution saving
throw. On a failed save, the target suffers an
additional 1d4 poison damage and becomes
poisoned for 1 minute. The target can repeat the
saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending
the poison effect on a success.
Casting Ray of Blood using a spell slot of 2nd level
or higher increases the damage inflicted by the spell.
For each level higher than 1st, the initial damage
increases by 1d8, and the poison damage increases
by 1d4.
It is worth noting that this spell is not without its risks.
The tainted nature of the blood used in this spell
makes it especially difficult to control, and as a result,
the caster must possess a steady hand and a
disciplined mind. Failure to properly focus the spell's
energy may result in unintended consequences,
such as the spell veering off course or backfiring on
the caster. Additionally, the use of such dark magic
may have repercussions in certain societies or draw
the attention of beings who abhor the manipulation of
life force.
Name: Blood Puppet
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 1st level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
593
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Target: One creature
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Blood Puppet is a spell that taps into the primal
forces of life and control, allowing the caster to
manipulate the blood within a creature's body, forcing
them to move and act against their will. As the spell
is cast, the air crackles with an eerie energy, and the
caster's eyes glow with a deep crimson hue.
To cast Blood Puppet, you must make a successful
melee spell attack against the target, breaking their
skin with a touch to establish a connection with their
bloodstream. The target must then make a Wisdom
saving throw. On a failed save, the target's blood
becomes infused with magical energy, and you gain
control over their movements.
While under the effects of Blood Puppet, the target's
body appears as if controlled by invisible strings,
their motions jerky and unnatural. You can use your
action on subsequent turns to control the target's
actions. The controlled creature follows your
commands to the best of its ability, though it retains
its mental faculties and can resist taking obviously
self-destructive or suicidal actions.
The enhanced effects when casting Blood Puppet
using a higher level spell slot are as follows:
- 3rd Level: The spell's duration increases to 10
minutes.
- 5th Level: The spell's duration increases to 1 hour.
While controlling a creature with Blood Puppet, you
can use your bonus action to release your control
prematurely, ending the spell. The target regains
control over their body, but they might be left
disoriented and shaken by the experience.
It is important to note that creatures with exceptional
fortitude or those resistant to magical manipulation
may have advantage on the Wisdom saving throw
against Blood Puppet, making it more challenging to
control them. Additionally, creatures lacking a
circulatory system or blood are immune to the effects
of this spell.
Name: Blood Boil
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
School of Magic: Evocation
Level: 2
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Constitution saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
As you channel your arcane power, you unleash the
dreadful spell known as Blood Boil. This spell taps
into the raw elemental forces of fire and the vitality of
living creatures, causing their very blood to ignite and
scorch their insides.
When you cast Blood Boil, you choose a target
creature within range. The targeted creature must
make a Constitution saving throw or suffer the fiery
consequences. On a failed save, the blood within the
creature rapidly heats up, inflicting 3d6 fire damage.
The intense heat causes the victim's skin to flush and
blister, emitting a faint, smoky aroma. In addition to
the initial damage, the target must make a Dexterity
saving throw to avoid bursting into flames. On a
failed save, the target ignites, taking an additional
1d6 fire damage at the start of each of its turns until
the flames are extinguished.
The infernal heat generated by Blood Boil is
incredibly intense, and it can be felt even by those
nearby. Any creature within 10 feet of the target must
also make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save,
they take half the initial fire damage, while a
successful save negates the damage.
Higher-level Casting: When you cast this spell using
a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the fire damage
increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 2nd.
Although Blood Boil is a potent and fearsome spell, it
does have limitations. It can only affect living
creatures with circulatory systems, as it relies on the
manipulation of blood. Constructs, undead, and other
creatures lacking blood are immune to its effects.
Additionally, creatures with high resistance or
immunity to fire may mitigate the damage inflicted by
this spell.
Name: Blood Enthrall
School of Magic: Blood Magic
594
Hexmaster
Level: 2nd level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a vial of
your own blood)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Blood Enthrall is a potent spell that harnesses the
power of blood magic to captivate and control the
attention of creatures within range. As you begin
casting the spell, you draw a vial of your own blood
and channel its essence, infusing it with mystical
energy.
When you complete the casting of the spell, you
choose a single creature within 60 feet that you can
see. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw
or become entranced by the compelling force of your
blood magic. While enthralled, the target's attention
becomes solely focused on you, and they are
compelled to obey your commands to the best of
their abilities.
While under the effect of Blood Enthrall, the target is
considered charmed and has disadvantage on
Wisdom saving throws made to break free from the
spell's influence. Additionally, if you or your allies
attack the charmed creature, it has advantage on its
saving throw to end the spell. The target will continue
to follow your commands until the spell ends, or until
you issue a command that is obviously self-harmful
or violates its alignment.
If you cast Blood Enthrall using a spell slot of 3rd
level or higher, you can target an additional creature
for each slot level above 2nd. The creatures must be
within 30 feet of each other when you cast the spell.
Each target makes a separate saving throw.
Name: Clean Blood
School of Magic: Restoration
Level: 2nd level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Hexmaster
Spell Resistance: No
Description: Clean Blood is a potent restorative
spell that harnesses the power of magic to purify the
bloodstream of a targeted creature. By invoking the
mystical forces of Restoration, the caster can
cleanse the target's body from diseases, poisons, or
any negative conditions caused by blood-related
effects.
When casting Clean Blood, the spellcaster must
physically touch the intended recipient, focusing their
magical energies through their fingertips to establish
a vital connection. As the incantation is spoken with
precision and grace, the somatic gestures intertwine
with the words, creating a harmonious synergy that
channels the spell's power.
Upon successfully casting Clean Blood, a warm,
radiant glow envelops the target's body, illuminating
their skin from within. The healing energy permeates
their bloodstream, acting as a beacon of purity
against the corrupted influences that ail them. Any
diseases or toxins within the target's blood are
instantly neutralized, rendered harmless and
expelled from the body.
In addition to eliminating diseases and toxins, Clean
Blood also eradicates any negative conditions that
result from blood-related effects. For example, if the
target has been afflicted by a curse that causes their
blood to boil and induces a debilitating fever, this
spell would cleanse their blood, dissipating the curse
and restoring the target to a healthy state.
When cast using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher,
Clean Blood's effectiveness is enhanced. The spell
can cleanse more potent diseases, neutralize
powerful toxins, and overcome stronger blood-
related afflictions. Furthermore, the caster can target
additional creatures for each slot level above 2nd,
providing aid to a group of allies suffering from
bloodborne afflictions.
It is important to note that Clean Blood is specialized
in blood-related conditions and does not provide
healing for wounds or injuries. Its purifying effects
are limited to the circulatory system, focusing solely
on the ailments that stem from the blood itself.
Mages who specialize in Restoration magic often
seek out Clean Blood, recognizing its invaluable
ability to cleanse and protect against bloodborne
595
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
threats. Whether battling a venomous creature in the
depths of a treacherous jungle or confronting a dark
sorcerer's curse, this spell ensures that the life force
flowing through one's veins remains pure and
untainted.
Remember, the power of Clean Blood is boundless,
for blood is the essence that sustains life, and
through this spell, its sanctity shall be preserved.
Name: Blood Mist Form
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 2
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
As you weave the arcane energies around you, your
body gradually dissipates into a swirling mist of
crimson hues. You become intangible and ethereal,
transforming into a cloud of thick, billowing mist. This
mist grants you the ability to pass through small
openings and provides resistance to non-magical
damage, protecting you from harm.
While in your mist form, you can move freely through
spaces as small as a keyhole or the crack beneath a
door. This ability allows you to infiltrate secure areas,
bypassing barriers and traps that would normally
impede your progress. You glide effortlessly along
the ground, hovering just above the surface, with
your form undulating and shifting like a dense fog.
The mist that comprises your form is resistant to
physical harm, rendering you less vulnerable to
mundane attacks. You gain resistance to all non-
magical damage, such as slashing, piercing, and
bludgeoning damage. However, magical attacks or
effects can still harm you as they can disrupt the
arcane composition of your misty form.
The transformation lasts for the duration of your
concentration, up to 1 hour. During this time, you can
revert to your normal form as an action. If your
concentration is broken, the spell ends prematurely,
and you revert to your original form.
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Enhanced Spell Effects:
- When cast using a 3rd-level spell slot or higher, the
duration of the spell increases by 1 hour for each slot
level above 2nd. Additionally, the resistance to non-
magical damage also extends to include damage
dealt by magical weapons or spells of 2nd level or
lower. This allows you to withstand a wider range of
attacks and enhances your defensive capabilities.
Name: Blood Sacrifice
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 2
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
As you delve into the depths of forbidden arcane
knowledge, you unlock the secrets of Blood
Sacrifice, a potent transmutation spell that allows you
to channel your own life force to amplify your
spellcasting abilities. Through this spell, you willingly
inflict damage upon yourself, tapping into the primal
energies that flow within your veins.
When you cast Blood Sacrifice, you must willingly
take a portion of your own life force, sacrificing hit
points equal to 2d8 + your spellcasting ability
modifier. This damage cannot be reduced or
prevented by any means and is considered self-
inflicted. The pain and sacrifice fuel your magic,
granting you enhanced spellcasting prowess for the
duration of the spell.
While under the effects of Blood Sacrifice, the
potency and effectiveness of your spells are
heightened. The spell grants you the following
benefits:
The damage of any spells you cast that deal damage
is increased by 1d6 for each spell level used to cast
the spell. For example, if you cast a 2nd-level spell
using a 2nd-level spell slot, the damage of that spell
would be increased by 2d6.
The saving throw DC of any spells you cast that
require targets to make saving throws is increased
by 2.
The healing provided by any spells you cast is
increased by 1d8 for each spell level used to cast the
596
Hexmaster
spell. For example, if you cast a 2nd-level spell that
heals, it would heal for an additional 2d8 hit points.
However, the dark magic of Blood Sacrifice comes at
a cost. While the spell is active, you suffer from a
weakened state, causing you to have disadvantage
on all Constitution saving throws and ability checks.
Additionally, any healing you receive during this time
is halved, as your body struggles to mend itself due
to the self-inflicted harm.
When you cast Blood Sacrifice using a spell slot of
3rd level or higher, the additional damage, saving
throw DC increase, and healing benefits are further
enhanced. For each level above 2nd, the additional
damage and healing increase by an additional d6 or
d8 respectively, and the saving throw DC increases
by an additional 1.
As the spell duration ends, you feel drained and
exhausted, your vitality depleted by the sacrifice you
have made. You cannot cast Blood Sacrifice again
until you finish a long rest, as your body needs time
to recover from the toll it has taken.

Saving Throw: Dexterity saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: With a dark incantation and a sweeping
gesture, you summon the forces of blood magic to
unleash a horrifying torrent of crimson liquid upon
your foes. A line of blood, 10 feet wide, bursts forth
from your location and rushes forward in a cascading
wave. The torrent of blood surges with an unsettling
power, causing damage and knocking prone any
unfortunate creatures caught in its path.
All creatures in the line must make a Dexterity saving
throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 4d6
necrotic damage and is knocked prone. On a
successful save, the creature takes half damage and
is not knocked prone. The damage inflicted by Blood
Cascade increases by 1d6 for each spell level above
3rd.
Hexmaster
The line of blood flows around corners and fills every
crevice, leaving no escape for those caught within its
path. The macabre torrent lasts but an instant before
vanishing into thin air, leaving only an eerie silence in
its wake.
Higher Level Casting: When you cast this spell
using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage
increases by an additional 1d6 for each slot level

regain any hit points. This spell has no effect on

have died no more than 1 minute ago and must not
have died of old age. The target returns to life with 1

blood from each target creature)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description: This spell creates a powerful blood
bond between multiple creatures, allowing them to
share hit points and distribute damage. When you
cast this spell, choose up to 6 willing creatures within
range. For the duration of the spell, these creatures
are linked by a bond of blood. When one of the
bonded creatures takes damage, that damage is
distributed evenly among all bonded creatures. Each
bonded creature takes an equal share of the
damage, rounded down. If the damage cannot be
evenly divided, the remaining points of damage are
assigned randomly among the bonded creatures.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a
spell slot of 4th level or higher, you can target one
additional creature for each slot level above 3rd.
Name: Stinking Blood Cloud
School of Magic: Conjuration
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Target: 20-foot radius sphere
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a vial of
putrid blood)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Constitution saving throw
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Stinking Blood Cloud is a spell that taps into the
mysterious and volatile nature of blood chemistry. As
you begin casting the spell, you utter incantations
that resonate with the essence of life force,
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
channeling your energy into the air around you. You
then sprinkle the vial of putrid blood into the air,
releasing its foul contents and triggering a chain
reaction of alchemical reactions.
Once cast, a noxious cloud of crimson mist
materializes within the designated area. The cloud is
dense and swirling, diffusing an overpowering stench
that immediately assaults the senses of any creature
unfortunate enough to be caught within its range.
The odor is a combination of decay, rancid meat, and
the unmistakable scent of blood.
Any creature that starts its turn within the cloud or
enters it for the first time on a turn must make a
Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the
creature becomes nauseated, its stomach churning
with an intense discomfort. The nauseated creature
is incapacitated and suffers disadvantage on ability
checks, attack rolls, and saving throws. Additionally,
the noxious fumes cause the affected creature to
retch, making it unable to cast spells with verbal
components until the start of its next turn.
The cloud of Stinking Blood Cloud lingers in the area
for the duration of the spell, swirling and expanding
with each passing second. The cloud provides
concealment, heavily obscuring the affected area,
making it difficult for creatures to perceive each
other. However, this obscurement does not provide
any cover against attacks.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When you cast Stinking Blood Cloud using a spell
slot of 4th level or higher, the effects of the spell
become more potent. The radius of the cloud
increases by 5 feet for every level above 3rd.
Additionally, creatures affected by the spell must
make the Constitution saving throw at the start of
their turn, even if they have already succeeded on a
previous save. The stench becomes even more
overpowering, causing creatures to suffer
disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks for
the duration of the spell.

the caster's blood)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Constitution saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Bestow Blood Curse is a powerful necromantic spell
that allows the caster to inflict a potent curse upon a
targeted creature, subjecting them to various
detrimental effects and penalties. As the spell is cast,
the air around the caster darkens, and an eerie
crimson mist swirls forth from their outstretched
hand, enveloping the target in an ominous shroud.
Upon a failed Constitution saving throw, the cursed
creature is afflicted by the curse, experiencing
immediate and long-lasting effects. The target's
movements become sluggish, as if their very blood
has turned to molasses. Their Dexterity and Strength
scores are reduced by 2 for the duration of the curse.
In addition, the cursed creature finds their life force
drained, causing them to suffer continuous damage.
At the end of each of their turns, the target takes 2d6
necrotic damage as their blood begins to rot within
their veins. The curse intensifies with each passing
turn, and the necrotic damage increases by 1d6 for
every subsequent turn the curse remains active.
The cursed creature also finds their magical potential
hindered. While under the influence of Bestow Blood
Curse, the target has disadvantage on all
spellcasting ability checks and saving throws.
Furthermore, the curse inflicts a profound
psychological toll, making it harder for the target to
resist fear and intimidation. The target has
disadvantage on Wisdom saving throws against
being frightened or charmed.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When Bestow Blood Curse is cast using a spell slot
of 4th level or higher, the penalties and effects of the
curse are enhanced. The initial ability score
reduction increases by 1 for every spell slot level
above 3rd. The necrotic damage inflicted at the end
of each turn increases by an additional 1d6 for every
slot level above 3rd.
It is important to note that Bestow Blood Curse can
only be cast on living creatures with a circulatory
system. Constructs, undead, and creatures without
blood are immune to the curse's effects.
Hexmaster
The curse can be dispelled by a successful casting
of Remove Curse or similar magic, or by the death of
the cursed creature. Additionally, the curse is broken
if the caster loses concentration or is incapacitated
during the duration of the spell.
Name: Blood Transfusion
School of Magic: Necromancy
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Target: One creature
Components: V, S, M (a small vial of the caster's
blood)
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Blood Transfusion is a potent spell that taps into the
dark forces of necromancy to allow the caster to
sacrifice a portion of their own life force in order to
heal a target creature. By willingly shedding their
own blood, the caster channels their vitality into the
wounded creature, revitalizing their body and
mending their injuries.
To cast this spell, the caster must make physical
contact with the target creature, placing their hand
upon their skin. As the spell is cast, an ethereal aura
surrounds the caster's hand, pulsating with a crimson
glow. The caster then opens a small vial containing
their own blood and lets a few drops fall onto the
target's body, where they are instantly absorbed.
Upon completion of the spell, the target creature is
restored a number of hit points equal to the hit points
sacrificed by the caster. The caster, however, suffers
a loss of hit points equal to the amount transferred.
This act of self-sacrifice demonstrates the ultimate
commitment to healing and the willingness to endure
pain to alleviate the suffering of others.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When casting Blood Transfusion using a spell slot of
4th level or higher, the healing effect is amplified. For
each slot level above 3rd, the caster can transfer an
additional 1d8 hit points to the target creature, and
the caster's sacrifice increases by the same amount.
It is important to note that this spell cannot be used
to heal undead creatures, as it draws upon the life
599
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
force of the caster to rejuvenate the living.
Additionally, the spell requires the caster to be in a
physically healthy state, as attempting to use Blood
Transfusion while severely wounded could lead to
catastrophic consequences, further draining the
caster's vitality or even risking their own demise.
Name: Blood Fear
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (30-foot radius)
Target: Creatures within range
Components: Verbal, somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Blood Fear taps into the arcane power of
manipulating the essence of blood within oneself,
unleashing an aura of terror that envelops the
surroundings. As you cast the spell, a crimson mist
emanates from your body, swirling and pulsating with
a menacing energy. The mist spreads outward,
affecting all creatures within a 30-foot radius, causing
them to experience intense fear and trepidation.
When you cast Blood Fear, each creature within
range must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a
failed save, the target becomes frightened for the
duration of the spell. While frightened, the affected
creatures have disadvantage on ability checks and
attack rolls while the source of their fear is within
sight. They also cannot willingly move closer to the
source of their fear.
Furthermore, the sheer terror inflicted by Blood Fear
causes creatures to suffer from the weight of their
own anxieties. At the start of each of their turns,
frightened creatures take 3d6 psychic damage. A
successful Wisdom saving throw at the end of their
turn ends the frightened condition, and they no
longer take the psychic damage.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level
or higher, the psychic damage increases by 1d6 for
each slot level above 3rd.
When cast using a spell slot of 5th level or higher,
the range of the spell increases by 10 feet.

Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Constitution saving throw for half
damage
Spell Resistance: No

Description:
As you tap into the wellspring of blood magic, a
surge of raw energy emanates from your body,
causing the air around you to crackle with crimson
sparks. The ground beneath your feet trembles as
your veins pulse with power. Bloodstone Surge is a
spell that combines destructive force with enhanced
spellcasting abilities.

Upon casting the spell, a wave of pulsating energy

erupts from your body, extending outward in a 10-
foot radius. All creatures within range, including
enemies and allies, are engulfed by the swirling
crimson mists of blood magic. The surge deals 4d8
necrotic damage to each creature caught in its grasp,
as their life force is momentarily drained by the
intense magical energies.

Furthermore, for the duration of the spell, your own

spellcasting abilities become heightened. Your
connection to the arcane becomes more potent,
granting you advantage on concentration checks for

601
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
they may lack versatility compared to other classes.
They rely heavily on their physical abilities and may
struggle in situations that require more finesse or
magical prowess. Additionally, their reliance on
close-quarters combat makes them vulnerable to
enemies with ranged or magical attacks.

organization receive advanced training in combat
techniques and are revered as paragons of honor

precognitive awareness, and the power to
manipulate the minds of their foes.
Comments:
Ah, the Champion, the epitome of strength and valor.
While lacking the mystical talents of spellcasters or
the cunning of rogues, the Champion embodies the
unyielding spirit of a true hero. They inspire their
comrades and strike fear into their enemies, forging
their legend through deeds of unparalleled bravery. A
Champion's presence on the battlefield can turn the
tide of battle, instilling hope in the hearts of allies and
sowing despair in the hearts of foes. Whether they
wield ancient weapons or brandish their fists alone,
the Champion stands as an indomitable force, a
beacon of light amidst the shadows of Maxxia's
ancient and treacherous world.
Name: Improved Critical
602
Hexmaster
Level: 1st
Description: The Champion's combat skills are
honed to a level of unmatched precision. Through
rigorous training and innate talent, they have
developed a keen eye for exploiting their opponents'
weaknesses, allowing them to strike with deadly
accuracy.
Mechanics: Whenever the Champion scores a
critical hit with a weapon attack, their attack becomes
even more devastating. The critical hit range of the
Champion's weapon is expanded, granting them an
increased chance to score a critical hit. This feature
enhances the Champion's ability to capitalize on
critical strikes, turning them into moments of
immense damage and triumph.
Mechanics (Specifics): The Champion's critical hit
range is extended by 1. Normally, a critical hit is
scored when the attack roll is a natural 20 on the
d20. With this feature, the Champion will score a
critical hit on a natural 19 or 20. For example, if the
Champion wields a longsword (which typically has a
critical hit range of 20), their critical hit range
becomes 19-20. This means that when they roll a 19
or 20 on the attack roll, the attack is considered a
critical hit, resulting in double the normal damage.
The expanded critical hit range does not stack with
other effects that modify the critical hit range.
Name: Remarkable Athlete
Level: 1st
Description: As a Champion, your physical prowess
and training enable you to perform incredible athletic
feats that surpass the limits of ordinary mortals. The
Remarkable Athlete feature enhances your physical
abilities, allowing you to push your body beyond its
normal boundaries.
Mechanics:
When making a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity
(Acrobatics) check, you can add half your proficiency
bonus (rounded up) if you are not already proficient
in the skill. If you are already proficient, you instead
double your proficiency bonus.
In addition, your extraordinary athleticism grants you
the following benefits:
Jumping Distance: The distance you cover when
making a long jump is increased by a number of feet
equal to your Strength modifier.
High Jump: The height you can reach when making
a high jump is increased by a number of feet equal to
three times your Strength modifier.
Hexmaster
Falling Damage Resistance: You treat falls as if they
were 20 feet shorter when determining falling
damage. This feature doesn't eliminate fall damage
entirely but lessens its impact on you.
For example, let's say you have a Strength modifier
of +3 and are not proficient in Athletics. If you
attempt to make a long jump, you would normally
cover a distance equal to your Strength score.
However, with Remarkable Athlete, you would cover
a distance equal to your Strength score plus an
additional 3 feet (your Strength modifier).
Similarly, when making a high jump, you would
normally reach a height equal to three plus your
Strength modifier. With Remarkable Athlete, your
jump height would be three plus three times your
Strength modifier.
With regards to falling, if you were to fall from a
height of 60 feet, the Remarkable Athlete feature
would reduce the falling damage calculation to that of
falling from a height of 40 feet.
2nd: Fighting Style
Name: Versatile Duelist
Level: 2nd
Description: The Champion's mastery of combat
extends beyond brute force. With the Versatile
Duelist fighting style, they become a master of
adaptability, able to seamlessly switch between
offense and defense in the heat of battle. Their skill
and finesse allow them to exploit weaknesses in their
opponents' defenses, making them a formidable
opponent in any encounter.
Mechanics: When you choose this fighting style at
2nd level, you gain the following benefits:
1. Duelist Stance: While wielding a one-handed
melee weapon and no other weapon, you gain a +1
bonus to your Armor Class. Additionally, when you
are hit by a melee attack, you can use your reaction
to make a Dexterity saving throw. On a successful
save, you can choose to reduce the damage taken
by half.
2. Precision Strikes: Whenever you hit a creature
with a weapon attack using a finesse or versatile
weapon, you can choose to sacrifice some of your
damage to increase your chances of hitting vital
areas. Before rolling damage, you can declare that
you're making a precision strike. If you do, roll a d4
and subtract the result from the damage dealt. If the
attack hits, the target must make a Constitution
603
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
saving throw against your Charisma saving throw
DC. On a failed save, the target suffers a debilitating
effect based on the damage type:
- Slashing: The target's movement speed is reduced
by 10 feet until the end of their next turn.
- Piercing: The target has disadvantage on their next
attack roll before the end of their next turn.
- Bludgeoning: The target has disadvantage on
Strength saving throws until the end of their next
turn.
- Thunder, Lightning, or Force: The target is stunned
until the end of their next turn.
The precision strikes can only be used once per turn
and are lost if the attack misses or the target is
immune to the damage type.
3. Agile Parry: When you are wielding a finesse
weapon and hit a creature with a melee attack, you
can use your reaction to parry the opponent's attack.
Roll a d10 and add your Strength or Charisma
modifier (your choice) plus your proficiency bonus to
the roll. If the total is higher than the attacker's roll for
the attack, you can reduce the damage taken by an
amount equal to your proficiency bonus plus your
Dexterity or Constitution modifier (your choice).
Instead of Versatile Duelist you may choose one
fighting style from the options below:
- Two-Weapon Fighting: When you engage in two-
weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to
the damage of the second attack.
- Defense: While wearing armor, you gain a +1
bonus to your Armor Class.
- Archery: You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you
make with ranged weapons.
- Great Weapon Fighting: When you roll a 1 or 2 on a
damage die for an attack you make with a two-
handed melee weapon, you can reroll the die and
must use the new roll.
- Protection: When a creature you can see attacks a
target other than you that is within 5 feet of you, you
can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the
attack roll.
- Close Quarters Shooter: You are unaffected by
being within 5 feet of a hostile creature when you
make a ranged weapon attack.
- Blind Fighting: You have blindsight with a range of
10 feet. Within that range, you can effectively see
anything that isn't behind total cover, even if you're
blinded or in darkness.
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
- Mariner: You gain a swimming speed and a
climbing speed equal to your current walking speed.
Additionally, you have a +1 bonus to your Armor

The Champion can take one additional action on
their turn.
The Champion's movement speed is increased by 10
feet.
The Champion gains advantage on all Strength-

The Champion gains resistance to bludgeoning,
piercing, and slashing damage.
Furthermore, while Battle Momentum is active, the
Champion's strikes become even deadlier.
Whenever they score a critical hit with a weapon
attack, they deal maximum damage instead of rolling
for damage.
Once the duration of Battle Momentum ends or the
Champion uses their extra action granted by this
feature, they must finish a short or long rest before
they can use it again.
3rd: Champion Archetype
The Champion Archetype is a pivotal point in the
Champion's development, where they specialize in a
particular aspect of combat or leadership. At 3rd
level, the Champion chooses one of five distinct

battle with their powerful spells and abilities.
Level Progression:
1st: Dark Devotion, Eldritch Whispers
2nd: Corrupting Influence
3rd: Pact Boon, Summoning Rituals
4th: Abyssal Infusion
5th: Master of Shadows
Equipment: The Cultist starts with the following
equipment: a ritual dagger, a hooded cloak, a pouch
of sinister runes, a set of common clothes, and a
pouch containing 10 gold pieces.
Requirements: To become a Cultist, one must have
a deep-seated devotion to an eldritch horror and be
willing to embrace the dark powers bestowed upon
them. This class is open to characters of any race or
background, as long as they meet the requirements
of dark devotion and a willingness to serve their
chosen eldritch patron.
Hexmaster
Appearance: A typical Cultist is cloaked in dark,
tattered robes that conceal their identity. Their faces
are often obscured by hoods or masks, lending an air
of mystery and foreboding. They carry arcane
symbols and artifacts of their eldritch patron, and
their eyes may glow with an otherworldly light. Their
presence alone can instill fear and unease in those
who cross their path.
Limitations: The powers of the Cultist come at a
price. Their dark magics are often frowned upon by
society, and their association with eldritch horrors
can make them targets of suspicion and fear. They
are vulnerable to anti-magic effects and may struggle
against foes with strong mental fortitude or
resistance to manipulation.
Organizations:
1. The Coven of the Void: A secretive organization of
Cultists dedicated to summoning and communing
with ancient eldritch entities. They gather in hidden
places of power, conducting forbidden rituals and
seeking forbidden knowledge.
2. The Order of Desolation: A fanatical cult that
worships an eldritch horror known as the Devourer.
They seek to bring about the end of the world and
revel in the chaos and destruction it will unleash.
3. The Cult of the Eclipse: A group of Cultists who
harness the power of the celestial bodies and the
eldritch energies they emit. They believe that the
alignment of the stars holds the key to unlocking
unimaginable power and knowledge.
Notable Users:
1. Morvath the Mindbinder: A powerful Cultist known
for his ability to bend the minds of his enemies to his
will. He has amassed a loyal following and seeks to
unravel the mysteries of the ancient ruins beneath
Maxxia.
2. Lilith Shadowblade: A seductive and manipulative
Cultist who uses her dark powers to sow chaos and
discord. She is a master of illusions and is often seen
with a pet raven that serves as her familiar.
3. Varak the Corrupter: A fallen paladin who
succumbed to the temptations of the eldritch horrors.
He now leads a cult of twisted knights, spreading
corruption and despair wherever he goes.
Adventure Hooks:
1. The Forbidden Tome: A mysterious book
containing forbidden knowledge has surfaced, and
rumors suggest that it holds the key to unlocking
607
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
unimaginable power. The Cultist is tasked with
obtaining the tome, but they are not the only ones
seeking it. A race against time ensues as they
navigate treacherous traps and confront rival cults
and dark forces.
2. The Corrupted Village: A small village has fallen
under the influence of an eldritch horror. Its
inhabitants have been transformed into twisted
abominations, and darkness looms over the land.
The Cultist is sent to investigate the source of the
corruption and put an end to the eldritch presence.
3. The Ritual of Ascendancy: A cult plans to perform
a dark ritual to awaken a slumbering elder god and
bring about an age of chaos. The Cultist must
infiltrate the cult and disrupt the ritual before it's too
late. Along the way, they may encounter powerful
cult leaders, navigate ancient traps, and confront
their own inner demons.
Variants:
1. Dark Elf Nightblade: This variant of the Cultist
class focuses on the stealthy and shadowy aspects
of the dark arts. Dark Elf Nightblades are renowned
for their agility, mastery of illusion magic, and deadly
precision with daggers.
2. Dwarven Stonecaller: Dwarven Cultists who
specialize in summoning and controlling earth and
stone-based creatures. They use their connection to
the ancient underground realms to command
golems, elementals, and other constructs.
3. Mindflayer Psychic Savant: Mindflayer Cultists
who have developed psionic abilities, blending their
innate psychic powers with the dark magic of the
eldritch horrors. They are feared for their mind-
controlling abilities and their uncanny insight into the
thoughts of others.
Comments: "Ah, the Cultist class, a path strewn with
darkness and forbidden knowledge. The power it
grants is not for the faint of heart, but those who dare
to delve into the eldritch mysteries will find
themselves wielding forces beyond mortal
comprehension. Beware, however, for the road to
power is paved with sacrifices and the corruption of
one's own soul. Only the strongest-willed can master
the arts of the Cultist and embrace the madness that
lies at the heart of Maxxia." - Malidrex the Twisted
Witch
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Cultist Spell List
Cantrips:
Eldritch Bolt: You conjure a bolt of eldritch energy
and hurl it at a target within range, dealing 1d6 force
damage.
Shadow Grasp: You extend a spectral hand to
immobilize a creature within range. The target must
make a Strength saving throw or be restrained until
the end of their next turn.
Whispering Shadows: You create a veil of darkness
around yourself, granting you advantage on Dexterity
(Stealth) checks until the end of your next turn.
Mind Shroud: You cloud a creature's mind with
whispers of madness, forcing them to make a
Wisdom saving throw or be unable to take reactions
until the end of their next turn.
1st-Level Spells:
Curse of Misfortune: You place a curse upon a
creature within range, imposing disadvantage on
their next ability check or saving throw. The curse
can be transferred to another creature within 5 feet of
the original target if it fails a Wisdom saving throw.
Summon Lesser Horror: You summon a lesser
eldritch horror to aid you in battle. The horror attacks
a creature of your choice within range, dealing 2d6
necrotic damage. The horror disappears after making
the attack.
Shadow Veil: You wrap yourself in shadows, granting
you resistance to all damage types until the end of
your next turn. However, bright light reveals your
location, negating the resistance and imposing
disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks.
Enslave Mind: You attempt to dominate the mind of a
creature within range. The target must make an
Intelligence saving throw or become charmed and
under your control for the duration. However, the
608
Hexmaster
target gains advantage on saving throws against
your spells for the next 24 hours after the spell ends.
2nd-Level Spells:
Necrotic Blast: You unleash a blast of necrotic
energy in a 10-foot radius. Each creature in the area
must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 3d6
necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much on
a successful one. However, your maximum hit points
are reduced by an equal amount until you finish a
long rest.
Call Forth the Abomination: You summon a powerful
abomination from the depths of the void to wreak
havoc upon your enemies. The abomination appears
in an unoccupied space within range and acts
immediately after you in initiative. However,
maintaining control over the abomination requires
intense concentration, leaving you unable to take any
other actions or cast spells until the abomination is
defeated or the spell ends.
Dark Pact: You make a dark pact with an eldritch
horror, temporarily gaining a surge of power. Your
spellcasting ability score is increased by 2 for the

level of exhaustion and must succeed on a Wisdom
saving throw or become permanently afflicted by a
random madness.
3rd-Level Spells:
Eldritch Disruption: You create a field of eldritch
energy centered on yourself. Each creature within 10
feet of you must make a Dexterity saving throw,
taking 4d6 force damage on a failed save, or half as
much on a successful one. However, using this spell
shatters a fragment of your soul, reducing your
maximum hit points by 10 until you finish a long rest.
Sacrificial Rite: You perform a forbidden ritual,
sacrificing a willing or incapacitated creature. This
grants you a surge of power, increasing your spell
attack bonus and spell save DC by 2 for the next
minute. However, the act of sacrifice attracts the
attention of powerful extraplanar entities, and you
have disadvantage on Charisma checks for the next
24 hours.
Pact of Eternal Servitude: You enter into a pact with
an eldritch horror, exchanging a part of your essence
for enhanced abilities. Your hit point maximum is
permanently reduced by half, but you gain temporary
hit points equal to your spellcasting ability score at
the start of each of your turns. Additionally, you gain
resistance to necrotic and psychic damage.
Hexmaster
Name: Dark Devotion
Level: 1st
Description: Dark Devotion represents the Cultist's
unwavering commitment and loyalty to their eldritch
patrons. It grants them a supernatural connection to
the forces of darkness and enhances their abilities in
manipulating minds and corrupting souls.
Mechanics:
Mind Veil: As an action, you can tap into your dark
devotion to shroud your true intentions. For the next
hour, you gain advantage on Charisma (Deception)
checks when attempting to deceive others or conceal
your true motives.
Eldritch Sight: Your connection to the eldritch realms
allows you to perceive hidden truths. You gain
proficiency in the Investigation skill, and if you are
already proficient, you double your proficiency bonus
when making Investigation checks related to
uncovering secrets, hidden symbols, or eldritch
artifacts.
Corrupting Influence: Your presence exudes an aura
of sinister charm. Whenever a creature within 30 feet
of you fails a saving throw against being charmed or
frightened, you can use your reaction to impose
disadvantage on their saving throw.
Eldritch Tendril: Once per long rest, you can
summon a shadowy tendril from the depths of your
dark devotion. The tendril has a reach of 15 feet and
can be used to manipulate objects or retrieve items
within that range. Additionally, as an action, you can
use the tendril to make a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand)
check with a bonus equal to your Charisma modifier
to attempt a slight of hand maneuver, such as
picking a lock or disarming a trap.
Corrupting Whispers: When you speak, your words
carry a subtle, otherworldly influence. As an action,
you can target one creature within 60 feet of you that
can hear you. The target must make a Wisdom
saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed
save, they are charmed by you for 1 minute and
regard you as a trusted friend. The charm effect ends
if you or your allies harm the target, or if the target is
subjected to a direct harmful effect from you. Once
you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you
finish a long rest.
609
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Name: Eldritch Whispers
Level: 1st
Description: As a Cultist, your connection to eldritch
horrors allows you to tap into the hidden knowledge
and secrets whispered in the shadows. Through your
dark devotion, you gain the ability to decipher cryptic
messages and uncover hidden truths that elude
ordinary mortals.
Mechanics: You gain proficiency in the Investigation
skill, reflecting your expertise in uncovering secrets
and piecing together clues. Additionally, you can cast
the "Comprehend Languages" spell as a ritual,
without expending a spell slot. This allows you to
understand any spoken or written language for the
duration of the spell.
Whenever you encounter a cryptic message,
encoded text, or a mysterious artifact with
inscriptions, you can use your Eldritch Whispers
feature to make an Intelligence (Investigation) check.
The DM may provide you with additional information,
uncover hidden meanings, or reveal secret passages
related to the message or artifact. The DC for this
check is determined by the complexity of the
message or the quality of the hidden information.
Your Eldritch Whispers also grant you an advantage
when making Charisma (Deception) checks to
convincingly deliver a hidden message, manipulate
others using coded language, or cloak your true
intentions. Your eerie whispers and subtle gestures
can subtly influence the thoughts and emotions of
those around you, giving you an edge in social
interactions.
Name: Corrupting Influence
Level: 2nd
Description: The Cultist's dark devotion and
mastery over manipulation grants them the ability to
exert a corrupting influence on individuals and
organizations, twisting their loyalties and bending
them to their will. This power allows the Cultist to
sow discord, exploit vulnerabilities, and gain leverage
over their enemies and potential allies alike.
Mechanics:
Range: 30 feet
Duration: Instantaneous or variable (depending on
the specific effect)
Saving Throw: Wisdom or Charisma (Cultist's
choice)
Usage: Once per long rest
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Tainted Whispers: The Cultist can use their
corrupting influence to plant insidious suggestions
into the mind of a targeted creature within range. The
targeted creature must make a Wisdom or Charisma
saving throw (Cultist's choice). On a failed save, the
creature becomes susceptible to the Cultist's
suggestions, which can be used to manipulate their
actions or behavior. The effect lasts for a duration
determined by the DM, depending on the severity of
the suggestion and the target's willpower.
Subversion of Faith: The Cultist can exploit the
vulnerabilities of individuals who hold strong religious
beliefs or convictions. By engaging in subtle
conversations or insinuations, they can gradually
erode the target's faith, causing doubts and
questioning their convictions. This ability is
particularly effective against devout individuals,
priests, or paladins. Over time, the target may
experience a crisis of faith, potentially leading to a
change in allegiance or a loss of divine powers. The
Cultist must engage in conversation or interact with
the target regularly for an extended period, typically
requiring days or weeks of careful manipulation to
achieve the desired effect.
Corruption's Whisper: The Cultist can send a subtle
and menacing message to a target within range,
utilizing their dark influence to instill fear and doubt.
The target receives an eerie whisper that fills them
with a sense of impending doom. This effect can be
used to intimidate enemies, deter potential threats, or
create paranoia within a group. The target must
succeed on a Wisdom or Charisma saving throw or
suffer from disadvantage on their next ability check,
saving throw, or attack roll. The unsettling feeling
lingers for a duration determined by the DM.
Clandestine Alliance: The Cultist can forge covert
alliances with secretive organizations, clandestine
societies, or factions with shared interests. Their
ability to blend in, speak the right words, and
demonstrate an understanding of the organization's
goals allows them to gain the trust of influential
members. As a result, the Cultist gains access to
hidden information, covert missions, and potential
resources that may aid them in their endeavors. The
specifics of the alliance and its benefits should be
discussed with the DM, allowing for unique
opportunities and story developments.
Note: The Cultist's corrupting influence is not limited
to these examples. The DM and the player should
610
Hexmaster
work together to create additional effects or tailor
existing ones to suit the campaign and the
character's narrative.
Name: Pact Boon
Level: 3rd
Description: The Cultist forms a pact with a
powerful eldritch entity, forging a bond that grants
them additional abilities and resources. This pact
represents a deeper level of commitment and
devotion to their dark patrons, opening up new
avenues of power and influence.
Mechanics: The Cultist chooses one of the following
pact boons:
Pact of Shadows:
The Cultist gains the ability to summon shadowy
familiars to aid them. As an action, they can summon
a Shadow Companion, a creature made of pure
darkness that obeys their commands. The Shadow
Companion has the statistics of a Quasit or Imp
(player's choice) and acts on the Cultist's turn.
The Shadow Companion can scout ahead, perform
tasks, and assist the Cultist in various ways, such as
granting advantage on ability checks or attacks. It
has an empathic link with the Cultist, allowing them
to see and hear through its senses.
The Shadow Companion remains until it is dismissed
or reduced to 0 hit points, at which point it returns to
the shadow plane until summoned again. The Cultist
can summon the Shadow Companion once per long
rest.
Pact of Manipulation:
The Cultist gains the ability to manipulate the
thoughts and emotions of others. Once per long rest,
they can cast the spell "Suggestion" without
expending a spell slot. The spell's duration is
extended to 8 hours, and the target has
disadvantage on the saving throw if the Cultist uses
their Dark Devotion feature before casting the spell.
In addition, the Cultist gains proficiency in the
Deception or Persuasion skill, if they don't already
have it. If they do, they can choose another skill to
gain proficiency in instead.
Pact of the Cursed Tome:
The Cultist gains access to a dark and forbidden
tome, a grimoire of eldritch knowledge. This tome
serves as a source of arcane power and secrets.
The Cultist can spend 1 hour studying the tome
during a long rest to gain additional spell slots. After
studying the tome, they gain an additional 1st-level
Hexmaster
spell slot and one additional spell slot of a level they
can cast. These extra spell slots last until the next
long rest.
The Cultist can use these extra spell slots to cast any
of their known spells, increasing their versatility and
spellcasting capabilities.
Name: Summoning Rituals
Level: 3rd
Description: The Cultist's mastery over dark rituals
and summoning reaches a new level. They gain the
ability to establish a connection with a shadowy
realm known as the Eldritch Conclave, allowing them
to call upon otherworldly entities for assistance.
Mechanics: Once per long rest, the Cultist can
perform a Summoning Ritual to beseech the aid of a
creature from the Eldritch Conclave. The ritual
requires 10 minutes of uninterrupted concentration
and the use of an arcane focus or a sacrificial
offering of blood or essence. The Cultist must specify
the type of creature they wish to summon, such as a
fiend, aberration, or undead, and the creature's
challenge rating cannot exceed half the Cultist's level
rounded down.
Upon completion of the ritual, the Cultist rolls a
Charisma check contested by the creature's
challenge rating. If successful, the creature is
summoned to the Cultist's location and remains
under their command for a duration of 1 hour. The
summoned creature obeys the Cultist's verbal
commands and acts immediately after the Cultist in
combat.
The summoned creature's statistics are determined
by the Hex Master, taking into account the Cultist's
level and the nature of the Eldritch Conclave. The
creature's abilities and appearance should reflect the
eldritch horror theme and the Cultist's alignment.
While the summoned creature is present, the Cultist
gains enhanced abilities based on its type:
Fiend: The Cultist gains advantage on Charisma
(Intimidation) checks and resistance to fire damage.
Aberration: The Cultist gains advantage on Charisma
(Deception) checks and resistance to psychic
damage.
Undead: The Cultist gains advantage on Charisma
(Persuasion) checks and resistance to necrotic
damage.
Additionally, the Cultist can use their bonus action to
issue a mental command to the summoned creature,
611
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
allowing them to perform a specific action or use one
of its special abilities within the limits of its
capabilities.
After the summoning duration ends or if the
summoned creature is reduced to 0 hit points, it
returns to the Eldritch Conclave, and the Cultist must
complete another summoning ritual to call upon a
new creature.
Name: Abyssal Infusion
Level: 4th
Description: Abyssal Infusion is a dark ritualistic
ability that allows the Cultist to tap into the raw power
of the eldritch abyss and infuse it into their spells and
abilities. Through this infusion, the Cultist gains
heightened control over their spells and gains
additional benefits when using their dark magic.
Mechanics: When the Cultist reaches 4th level, they
gain the following benefits:
Enhanced Spellcasting: The Cultist's spellcasting
abilities become more potent and twisted. They gain
a bonus to their spell save DC and spell attack bonus
equal to their Charisma modifier (minimum of +1).
Abyssal Resilience: The Cultist's connection to the
abyss grants them resistance to necrotic damage.
Additionally, they have advantage on saving throws
against being charmed or frightened.
Eldritch Surge: Once per long rest, when the Cultist
casts a spell of 1st level or higher, they can choose
to infuse it with raw abyssal energy. This infusion
amplifies the spell's effects, causing additional
damage or applying an additional effect. The specific
enhancements and additional effects depend on the
spell being cast. For example, a necromancy spell
might animate additional undead creatures, a curse
spell might impose a more severe penalty on the
target, or a mind-altering spell might have a stronger
effect on the target's psyche.
Abyssal Conduit: The Cultist gains the ability to
create a temporary connection to the abyss, allowing
them to communicate with eldritch entities and tap
into their forbidden knowledge. Once per long rest,
the Cultist can perform a ritual that takes 1 hour to
complete. During this ritual, they establish a psychic
link with an eldritch being of their choice. They can
ask the entity up to three questions related to their
current or future endeavors, gaining insights and
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
guidance. The eldritch being may answer cryptically
or with riddles, adding an air of mystery and
foreboding to the interaction.
Abyssal Step: The Cultist's connection to the abyss
grants them the ability to temporarily traverse the
planes. Once per long rest, as an action, the Cultist
can step into a rift between dimensions and teleport
themselves and up to five willing creatures of their
choice to a location they have previously visited,
within a range of 500 feet. This ability allows the
Cultist and their companions to travel swiftly and
evade danger, making it an invaluable tool for
exploration and strategic positioning.
Name: Master of Shadows
Level: 5th
Description: The Cultist's mastery over shadow
magic reaches new heights, granting them the ability
to manipulate shadows and conceal themselves and
their allies from prying eyes. They become the
elusive master of whispers, capable of traversing the
darkness undetected and influencing events from the
shadows.
Mechanics:
Range: Self
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
While under the effect of Veil of Whispers, the Cultist
and any willing creatures they choose within a 30-
foot radius gain the following benefits:
Shadow Step: As an action, the Cultist can teleport
up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space they can see
that is also in dim light or darkness. This ability can
be used once per turn.
612
Hexmaster
Whispered Guidance: When a creature affected by
Veil of Whispers makes a Charisma-based skill
check or a saving throw, they can add the Cultist's
Charisma modifier as a bonus to the roll.
Cloak of Shadows: The Cultist and affected
creatures have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth)
checks while in dim light or darkness.
Concealed Presence: The Cultist and affected
creatures are considered heavily obscured to any
creature that relies on darkvision or blindsight to see
in the dark.
Shadow's Embrace: Once per turn, when the Cultist
or an affected creature hits with a melee attack, they
can deal an additional 1d6 necrotic damage.
Cultist spells:
Name: Eldritch Bolt
School of Magic: Evocation
Level: 0
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Eldritch Bolt is a foundational spell that taps into the
raw power of the eldritch forces that permeate the
cosmos. When casting this spell, you channel your
innate magical energy to conjure a bolt of crackling
eldritch energy that you hurl at a target within range.
As you utter the ancient incantations and perform the
intricate hand gestures, the air around you begins to
shimmer with ethereal energy. The bolt takes shape,
swirling and pulsating with otherworldly hues of
purple and green, resembling a twisting tendril of
eldritch might.
With a flick of your wrist, the bolt shoots forth from
your fingertips, propelled by arcane power. It streaks
through the air with uncanny speed, leaving a trail of
iridescent sparks in its wake. Upon impact, the
eldritch bolt strikes the target, dealing 1d6 force
damage.
Hexmaster
The eldritch nature of this spell grants it a peculiar
quality. Unlike most spells, Eldritch Bolt requires no
saving throw and is unaffected by spell resistance.
Its raw force tears through magical defenses, making
it a versatile and reliable means of dealing damage.
However, due to its basic nature, it lacks any
additional effects beyond the damage it inflicts.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
As you grow in power, you can augment the might of
your Eldritch Bolt by casting it using higher-level spell
slots. Each level above 0th level increases the
damage dealt by the spell by an additional 1d6. For
example, casting Eldritch Bolt using a 1st-level spell
slot would deal 2d6 force damage, while casting it
using a 2nd-level spell slot would deal 3d6 force
damage, and so on.
Name: Shadow Grasp
School of Magic: Necromancy
Level: 0
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Until the end of the target's next turn
Saving Throw: Strength
Spell Resistance: No
Description: With a whispered incantation and a
swift gesture, you extend a spectral hand towards a
chosen creature within range, aiming to immobilize
them with the power of shadows. The target must
make a Strength saving throw to resist the effect.
Upon a failed saving throw, the target becomes
restrained, as a chilling grip materializes around
them, formed from ethereal shadows. This spectral
hand holds them firmly, restricting their movements
and impeding their ability to defend themselves. The
target's speed becomes 0, and it can't benefit from
any bonus to its speed until the end of its next turn.
The shadowy restraints bind the target's limbs,
making it vulnerable to attacks. Any attacks against
the restrained target have advantage, and the
target's own attacks have disadvantage. The target
can use its action to attempt to break free from the
shadowy grasp by repeating the Strength saving
throw at the end of each of its turns. On a success,
the restraints dissipate, freeing the target from their
confinement.
613
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Enhanced Effects:
When cast using a spell slot of 1st level or higher,
the duration of the restraint increases by 1 round for
each level above 0. For example, if cast with a 2nd-
level spell slot, the target would remain restrained
until the end of their next turn plus one additional
turn.
Name: Whispering Shadows
School of Magic: Illusion
Level: 0
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Until the end of your next turn
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Whispering Shadows is a mesmerizing cantrip that
harnesses the power of illusion to cloak yourself in a
veil of darkness, granting you enhanced stealth and
agility. As you cast the spell, shadows dance and
coalesce around you, merging seamlessly with your
form.
Upon invoking the incantation, you become
enveloped in a swirling shroud of ebony darkness,
rendering you nearly invisible to the naked eye. The
shadows cling to your every movement, masking
your presence and granting you an advantage on
Dexterity (Stealth) checks until the end of your next
turn.
The supernatural darkness extends your natural
abilities, enhancing your reflexes and nimbleness.
Your footsteps become whispers, your touch as light
as a feather, and your body seemingly merges with
the shadows themselves, making it incredibly difficult
for others to detect your presence.
However, the spell's power is fleeting, lasting only
until the end of your next turn. As the shadows
dissipate, you return to your normal visibility, losing
the advantage on Stealth checks that the spell
bestowed upon you.
For those with a keen eye or magical means of
detection, the spell's illusionary nature becomes
apparent. Although it grants a significant advantage
to your stealth, it does not grant true invisibility or
render you immune to other forms of detection or
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
divination magic.
Whispering Shadows can be cast by whispering the
ancient incantations while making subtle hand
gestures. No material components are required,
making it a convenient spell for stealthy characters
who wish to remain unencumbered by physical
objects while moving silently through the shadows.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
As Whispering Shadows is a cantrip, its power is
limited compared to higher-level spells. However, by
expending a higher-level spell slot, you can infuse
the spell with additional potency. When casting
Whispering Shadows using a spell slot of 1st level or
higher, the advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks
lasts for an additional round for each level above 0.
For example, if cast using a 3rd-level spell slot, the
advantage would persist until the end of your third
turn after casting the spell. This amplification allows
for extended periods of stealth and increased
opportunities for tactical maneuvering.
Name: Mind Shroud
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: 0
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Wisdom
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
As you weave intricate gestures with your hands and
utter cryptic incantations, a shroud of ephemeral
wisps materializes around your target's head. The air
grows heavy with an otherworldly presence, as if
reality itself becomes distorted by the spell's power.
The target creature must make a Wisdom saving
throw or succumb to the maddening whispers that
assault their mind. The chaotic voices echo
relentlessly, clouding their thoughts and shrouding
their consciousness. If the target fails the saving
throw, they become unable to take reactions until the
end of their next turn.
The power of Mind Shroud lies in its ability to disrupt
the target's focus and disorient their senses, leaving
them vulnerable and incapable of reacting swiftly to
the changing circumstances of battle. This spell can
614
Hexmaster
be particularly useful when facing foes who rely on
quick reflexes or who frequently employ reactionary
spells or abilities.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When casting Mind Shroud using a spell slot of 1st
level or higher, the potency of the spell intensifies.
The duration of the effect increases by 1 round for
each level above 0. Additionally, if the target fails the
initial saving throw, they are also unable to take
bonus actions until the end of their next turn.
Name: Curse of Misfortune
School of Magic: Necromancy
Level: 1
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Until the target's next ability check or
saving throw
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw (to transfer
curse)
Spell Resistance: No
Description: You place a curse upon a creature
within range, imposing disadvantage on their next
ability check or saving throw. The curse can be
transferred to another creature within 5 feet of the
original target if it fails a Wisdom saving throw. When
you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or
higher, the range increases by 10 feet for each slot
level above 1st.
Name: Summon Lesser Horror
School of Magic: Conjuration
Level: 1st level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Summon Lesser Horror taps into the dark forces of
the cosmos, allowing you to summon a lesser
eldritch horror to aid you in battle. With an
incantation spoken in a chilling voice and arcane
gestures, you call forth a creature from beyond,
chosen from the murky depths of the abyss.
As the spell takes effect, a rift in the fabric of reality
opens before you, oozing with tendrils of shadow and
Hexmaster
malevolent energy. From this rift emerges a twisted
and nightmarish creature, a Lesser Eldritch Horror,
its form shifting and contorting with eldritch power.
The creature, instinctively attuned to your will,
immediately attacks the target of your choice within
range.
Upon reaching the designated target, the Lesser
Eldritch Horror strikes with an otherworldly force,
engulfing the unfortunate victim in a vortex of
necrotic energy. The target suffers 2d6 necrotic
damage as the dark energy seeps into their very
essence, sapping their life force.
Once the attack is made, the Lesser Eldritch Horror
vanishes back into the void from whence it came,
leaving no trace of its presence. The horrifying being
is bound by the limits of the spell, unable to stray too
far from its summoner or to remain in this plane of
existence for an extended period.
Enhanced Effects:
When casting Summon Lesser Horror using a spell
slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage inflicted by
the eldritch horror's attack increases by 1d6 for each
slot level above 1st.
Note:
Summoning eldritch horrors from distant realms is
not without risk. The chaotic nature of these entities
means that sometimes their obedience can falter,
leading to unintended consequences. It is crucial to
maintain focus and control while harnessing their
power, for failure to do so may result in dire
consequences for both the caster and those nearby.
Exercise caution and always be prepared to face the
unknown when tapping into the forbidden arts of
conjuration.
Name: Shadow Veil
School of Magic: Illusion
Level: 1
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Until the end of your next turn
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description: You wrap yourself in shadows, granting
you resistance to all damage types until the end of
your next turn. However, bright light reveals your

disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks. When
you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or
higher, the duration increases by 1 round for each
slot level above 1st.
Name: Enslave Mind
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: 1st level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
Saving Throw: Intelligence
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
With a twisted incantation and subtle gestures, you
tap into the depths of enchantment magic to cast
Enslave Mind upon a hapless target. The spell allows
you to attempt to dominate the mind of a creature
within range, bending their will to your command.
The target must make an Intelligence saving throw or
fall under the influence of your enchantment.
Should the target fail its saving throw, its thoughts
become clouded, and its perceptions shift,
succumbing to your control. The creature becomes
charmed and obeys your commands to the best of its
abilities, acting as your loyal servant until the spell's
duration expires or until you release your hold on its
mind.
However, your influence is not without
repercussions. After the spell ends, the target gains
an advantage on saving throws against your spells
for the next 24 hours. The intrusion into its mind
leaves it somewhat more resistant to your
subsequent magical manipulations, as if it has
gained an increased mental fortitude to protect itself.
When casting Enslave Mind using a spell slot of 2nd
level or higher, the range of the spell increases by 30
feet for each slot level above 1st. Additionally, you
can target one additional creature for each slot level
above 1st, provided they are within 30 feet of each
other.
It is important to note that this spell can only affect
creatures with minds capable of resisting the
enchantment. Constructs, undead, and other
creatures immune to charm or lacking intelligence
are impervious to its effects.

Name: Necrotic Blast
School of Magic: Necromancy
Level: 2nd-Level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (10-foot radius)
Target: Each creature in the area
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Constitution saving throw
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
With a flourish of dark energy, you unleash a
powerful Necrotic Blast, tapping into the forces of life
and death. The air crackles with malevolent energy
as you channel your necromantic powers, forming a
10-foot radius sphere of pulsating black mist
centered on yourself.
Each creature within the area of the blast must make
a Constitution saving throw. Those who fail succumb
to the suffocating grip of necrotic energy, taking 3d6
necrotic damage. The frailty of their mortal forms
becomes apparent as their life force withers away
under the power of your spell. Creatures that
succeed on the saving throw manage to partially
resist the necrotic energy, taking only half the
damage.
However, the dark magic exacts its toll on you as
well. For every point of necrotic damage inflicted by
this spell, your own maximum hit points are reduced
by an equal amount until you finish a long rest. This
sacrifice of your vitality showcases the true cost of
wielding the forces of death, making it a choice that
requires careful consideration.
To cast Necrotic Blast using a higher-level spell slot,
the damage increases by 1d6 for each level above
2nd.
Name: Call Forth the Abomination
School of Magic: Conjuration
Level: 2
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One unoccupied space within range
Components: Verbal, somatic, material (a drop of
blood and a pinch of ash)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description: You utter a dark incantation and draw a
616
Hexmaster
sigil in the air with your blood and ash, opening a rift
to the void. A twisted and grotesque creature
emerges from the rift, roaring with hunger and
malice. The abomination is a Large monstrosity with
the following statistics:
AC: 14 (natural armor)
HP: 30 (4d10 + 8)
Speed: 30 ft., climb 30 ft.
STR: 18 (+4) DEX: 14 (+2) CON: 15 (+2) INT: 6 (-2)
WIS: 10 (+0) CHA: 8 (-1)
Skills: Perception +2
Senses: darkvision 60 ft., passive Perception 12
Languages: understands Abyssal but can't speak
Challenge: 2 (450 XP)
Multiattack. The abomination makes two attacks: one
with its bite and one with its claws.
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one
target. Hit: 9 (1d10 + 4) piercing damage.
Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft.,
one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) slashing damage.
The abomination appears in an unoccupied space
within range and acts immediately after you in
initiative. It obeys your verbal commands, but you
must use your action each round to maintain control
over it. If you don't use your action to command it, it
acts on its own, attacking the nearest creature other
than you or itself. If you lose concentration on the
spell or the abomination drops to 0 hit points, the
spell ends and the abomination vanishes in a puff of
smoke.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a
spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the abomination's hit
points increase by 10 for each slot level above 2nd.
This spell is very powerful, but also very risky. You
must be careful not to lose concentration on it, or
else it might turn against you or your allies. You also
must be prepared to face the consequences of
summoning such a foul creature into the world.
Some people might consider this spell an act of evil,
and some places might forbid its use altogether. You
should only use this spell when you are desperate or
confident in your abilities.
Name: Dark Pact
School of Magic: Conjuration
Level: 2
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Hexmaster
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: No
Description: Dark Pact is a spell that allows you to
forge a temporary pact with an eldritch horror,
tapping into its unfathomable power. When you cast
Dark Pact, you feel a chilling presence envelop you
as dark tendrils snake through the air, surrounding
your body.
During the duration of the spell, your connection with
the eldritch horror empowers your spellcasting ability,
increasing your spellcasting score by 2. This boost
enhances the potency and effectiveness of your
spells, allowing you to channel greater magical
energy.
However, the dark pact comes at a steep price.
When the spell ends, whether by your choice or if the
concentration is broken, you suffer the
consequences of your pact. Your body and mind
bear the weight of the eldritch power, causing you to
experience one level of exhaustion. The draining
effect of the spell leaves you weakened and fatigued,
requiring rest to recover fully.
Additionally, as the eldritch energy recedes, you
must make a Wisdom saving throw to resist the
lingering influence of the eldritch horror. Failure to
succeed on this saving throw results in the
permanent affliction of a random madness. The
nature of the madness varies, and it can manifest as
hallucinations, irrational fears, or even a fragmented
grip on reality.
Casting Dark Pact at a higher level increases the
duration of the spell. When cast as a 3rd-level spell
or higher, the spell's duration extends by 1 minute for
each level above 2nd, granting you an extended
period of heightened spellcasting ability and the
accompanying risks.
Name: Eldritch Disruption
School of Magic: Evocation
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (10-foot radius)
Target: Each creature within 10 feet of you
Components: Verbal, somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
617
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Saving Throw: Dexterity saving throw
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Eldritch Disruption is a powerful 3rd-level evocation
spell that taps into the raw forces of eldritch energy.
When casting this spell, you create a swirling field of
arcane power centered on yourself. The air crackles
with an otherworldly aura, and the ground beneath
you trembles with the intensity of the magical
energies you command.
Each creature within 10 feet of you must make a
Dexterity saving throw to resist the devastating
effects of this spell. Those who fail the saving throw
are engulfed by the chaotic energies and suffer the
full brunt of the eldritch force. They are dealt 4d6
force damage, leaving them reeling from the sheer
power unleashed upon them.
However, harnessing this spell exacts a heavy toll on
the caster. As you channel the eldritch energies, a
fragment of your very soul shatters, causing a lasting
impact on your being. After casting Eldritch
Disruption, your maximum hit points are reduced by
10 until you finish a long rest, representing the strain
this spell places on your life force.
The raw and unstable nature of eldritch energy
prevents it from being resisted by magical defenses
or spell resistance. Its sheer force overpowers any
protective barriers, making it a formidable tool
against adversaries who rely on such defenses.
Using a higher level spell slot to cast Eldritch
Disruption enhances its destructive potential. For
each level above 3rd, the damage inflicted by the
spell increases by an additional 2d6 force damage,
intensifying the devastating blast that engulfs your
foes. However, the cost to your soul remains the
same, as the fragment of your essence still shatters
regardless of the spell's augmented power.
Name: Sacrificial Rite
School of Magic: Necromancy
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Touch
Target: One willing or incapacitated creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a
ceremonial dagger and a vial of rare blood)
Duration: 1 minute
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Sacrificial Rite is a forbidden spell of the necromantic
arts that allows the caster to tap into the power of
sacrifice to enhance their magical abilities. By
performing a dark and intricate ritual, the caster can
harness the life force of a willing or incapacitated
creature, granting them a surge of power that
heightens their spellcasting prowess.
To cast the Sacrificial Rite, the caster must spend
one minute performing the ritual, tracing complex
sigils in the air with the ceremonial dagger and
pouring the rare blood into a mystic pattern. During
this time, the participant must willingly offer
themselves for sacrifice or be rendered unconscious
and bound for the ritual. It is a grave decision to
make, as the act of sacrifice carries grave
consequences.
Once the ritual is complete, the caster becomes
infused with the essence of the sacrificed creature,
gaining enhanced magical abilities for the next
minute. Their spell attack bonus and spell save DC
increase by 2, empowering their spells to greater
effect. This surge of power allows them to
manipulate the fabric of reality with heightened
precision and potency.
However, the dark nature of the Sacrificial Rite
attracts the attention of powerful extraplanar entities.
These entities, intrigued by the forbidden magic, cast
their influence upon the caster. As a result, the
caster suffers a disadvantage on Charisma checks
for the next 24 hours, their aura tainted by the
presence of the otherworldly beings they have drawn
near.
Casting Sacrificial Rite using a spell slot of 4th level
or higher increases the duration of the enhanced
abilities by 1 minute for each slot level above 3rd.
Name: Pact of Eternal Servitude
School of Magic: Conjuration

Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a drop of
blood and a vial of eldritch essence)
Duration: Permanent
618
Hexmaster
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
The Pact of Eternal Servitude is a forbidden spell
that allows you to enter into a pact with a powerful
eldritch horror, forging a connection that forever
alters your existence. By sacrificing a part of your
essence, you gain enhanced abilities but pay the
price with a permanent reduction in your hit point
maximum.
When you cast the Pact of Eternal Servitude, you
begin a ritual that takes one action to complete. As
you utter the incantations and perform the intricate
hand gestures, your body becomes enveloped in a
dark, ethereal mist. You pierce your own skin,
drawing a drop of blood, which you mix with a vial of
eldritch essence obtained from the plane of
shadows.
Once the ritual is complete, the dark pact takes
effect. Your hit point maximum is immediately and
permanently reduced by half. This sacrifice reflects
the price you pay for the power bestowed upon you.
However, the pact grants you temporary resilience
and heightened capabilities. At the start of each of
your turns, you gain temporary hit points equal to
your spellcasting ability score. These ethereal
energies replenish and fortify you, serving as a shield
against harm. The pact also grants you resistance to
necrotic and psychic damage, enabling you to
withstand the darkest and most insidious forces.
The duration of the Pact of Eternal Servitude is
permanent. The connection you establish with the
eldritch horror is bound to your very being, forever
altering your existence. The benefits and drawbacks
of the pact become an integral part of your character.
Enhanced Effects:
When you cast the Pact of Eternal Servitude using a
spell slot of 4th level or higher, the temporary hit
points granted at the start of each of your turns
increase by an additional amount equal to your
spellcasting ability modifier for each level above 3rd.
For example, if you cast this spell using a 5th-level
spell slot and your spellcasting ability modifier is +4,
you would gain temporary hit points equal to twice
your spellcasting ability score plus four at the start of
each of your turns. This enhanced version of the
spell further fortifies your connection to the eldritch
Hexmaster
horror, granting you even greater resilience and
power.

knowledge about the origins of Maxxia and the key to
unlocking a powerful artifact. The Cyberneticist's
expertise is required to bypass the complex security
systems and navigate the archive's digital defenses.
3. The Cybernetic Rebellion: A rogue faction of
sentient machines seeks to overthrow organic life in
Maxxia and establish their own dominion. The party
must ally with the Guardians of the Digital Realm and

Comments (by Malidrex the Twisted Witch):
Ah, the Cyberneticist! A curious blend of flesh and
machinery, delving into the realm of technology to
enhance their powers. A most intriguing class,
indeed. The world of Maxxia teems with ancient
secrets and technological wonders, making the
Cyberneticist a perfect fit for such a diverse and
enigmatic setting. Their mastery over machines and
their ability to tap into virtual realms will surely make

tomes, diagrams, and experimental notes. The
Golemancer gains advantage on any Intelligence
(Arcana) checks made to research constructs,
elemental powers, or other related topics within their
workshop. Additionally, the Golemancer can spend
downtime in their workshop to uncover new
knowledge or create custom magical items, subject
to the Hex Master's discretion.
The Artificer's Workshop serves as a sanctuary for
the Golemancer, offering a place to retreat,
experiment, and delve into the mysteries of the
magical arts. It becomes a hub of innovation,
attracting like-minded artificers and scholars who
seek to exchange ideas and collaborate on research
projects. The workshop also becomes a central point
for trade, as the Golemancer can offer their services
to the local community, forging alliances, and
gathering valuable resources for future endeavors.

lightning, acid). The specialization grants the golem
specific abilities or enhancements related to its role
(e.g., support, reconnaissance, utility).
Commanding: Your Construct Companion follows
your commands and acts on your turn in combat. It
has its own turn and uses your proficiency bonus for
attack rolls, saving throws, and skill checks. The
golem's statistics, including its AC, hit points, and
attack bonuses, are determined based on its size
and CR as defined during its creation.
Bonded Connection: You share a deep bond with
your Construct Companion. You can communicate
telepathically with the golem up to a distance of 1
mile. You can see through its senses, allowing you to
perceive the world from its perspective.
Repair and Maintenance: If your Construct
Companion is damaged, you can spend 1 hour and
expend spell slots with a combined level equal to the
golem's CR to repair it, restoring 1d4 hit points and
any missing or damaged components. This repair
process can be performed during a short rest.
Dismissal and Re-creation: You can dismiss your
Construct Companion as an action, causing it to
return to an inert state until you choose to re-create
it. If your Construct Companion is destroyed, you can
spend 8 hours and expend spell slots with a
combined level equal to or greater than its CR to
recreate it.

654
Hexmaster
Name: Elemental Mastery
Level: 4th
Description: Elemental Mastery is a class feature
that grants the Golemancer unparalleled control over
the elemental forces of the world. With their deep
understanding of the arcane and their affinity for
constructing golems, Golemancers can channel
elemental energies in unique ways, bringing
harmony to the natural world and utilizing its power
for various purposes.
Mechanics: When you reach 4th level, you gain the
following abilities as part of your Elemental Mastery:
Elemental Attunement: You can attune yourself to
one of the four primary elements: fire, water, earth,
or air. This attunement allows you to tap into the
associated elemental powers and grants you the
ability to communicate with elemental beings of that
element. You gain advantage on ability checks
related to interacting with creatures of your attuned
element and can understand their basic emotions
and intentions.
Elemental Manipulation: You gain the ability to
manipulate the element to which you are attuned. As
an action, you can conjure minor manifestations of
your chosen element, such as small flames, gusts of
wind, trickling water, or trembling earth. These
manifestations can be used for various non-combat
purposes, such as lighting a campfire, clearing a
foggy area, creating a small breeze, or causing earth
to soften for easy digging. The effects of your
elemental manipulations are limited to a range of 30
feet and last for up to 1 hour.
Elemental Insight: Your attunement to the element
grants you heightened perception and insight
regarding its properties. You gain proficiency in one
skill related to your attuned element, such as Fire
Lore, Water Mastery, Earthcraft, or Air Sense. This
proficiency can be chosen from any skills that are
thematically appropriate to your element, as
determined by your Hex Master.
Elemental Harmonization: Through your deep
connection with the elemental forces, you gain the
ability to harmonize with the natural environment.
Once per long rest, as an action, you can enter a
state of deep meditation that lasts for 1 hour. During
this time, you become attuned to the elemental
energies of the surrounding area. While in this state,
you gain advantage on all Wisdom (Perception) and
Hexmaster
Intelligence (Nature) checks. Additionally, you can
cast the spell "Commune with Nature" as a ritual
without expending a spell slot, gaining insights into
the local terrain, bodies of water, vegetation, and
other natural elements.
Name: Golem Overlord
Level: 5th
Description: As a Golemancer, your mastery over
golem crafting and control reaches its pinnacle with
the Golem Overlord feature. This ability allows you to
exert your influence over a multitude of constructs,
commanding them with precision and coordinating
their actions to achieve impressive feats.
Mechanics:
Commanding Presence: You gain the ability to
command a group of golems, controlling them
through a powerful psychic link. You can mentally
issue commands to your golems within a range of
120 feet, regardless of barriers or obstacles. The
golems understand and obey your commands to the
best of their abilities.
Golem Army: You can control a maximum number of
golems equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum
of 1). These golems can be any combination of your
created constructs or other golems you have
acquired or gained control over.
Coordinated Assault: Once per round as a bonus
action, you can direct your golems to perform a
coordinated assault. Choose up to three golems
under your control within 30 feet of each other. Each
chosen golem can make one additional attack during
its next turn.
Unbreakable Bond: Your psychic bond with your
golems is incredibly resilient. As long as you are
conscious, your golems have advantage on saving
throws against being charmed or frightened.
Additionally, you can use your reaction to give one of
your golems within 30 feet of you advantage on a
saving throw, ability check, or attack roll.
Rallying Presence: When your golems are within 60
feet of you, they gain temporary hit points equal to
your level at the start of each of their turns. These
temporary hit points last until the start of your next
turn.
Spells:
Name: Arcane Spark
School of Magic: Evocation
Level: 0
655
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Target: One golem
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description: Arcane Spark is a spell that allows you
to channel a surge of arcane energy into your golem,
granting it a burst of raw strength. By touching your
golem and invoking the incantation, you infuse it with
the power of the arcane. For the duration of 1
minute, your golem becomes empowered, gaining a
bonus to its attack and damage rolls equal to your
spellcasting ability modifier.
As the spell takes effect, a crackling blue aura
envelops the golem, pulsating with mystical energy.
This surge of power enhances the golem's
movements, making it more precise and deadly in
combat. The golem's attacks become infused with
arcane energy, allowing it to strike with greater force
and accuracy.
However, there is a price for harnessing such potent
magic. Once the duration of the spell ends, the
golem becomes temporarily inert for 1 hour. During
this time, it rests and recharges, recovering from the
strain of wielding the raw power of arcane forces. It
slumbers peacefully until it regains its vigor, ready to
serve its master once again.
Arcane Spark is a versatile spell that can be used by
wizards and sorcerers alike, allowing them to
enhance their golems and construct companions in
battle. By investing a fraction of their own magical
prowess into their creations, spellcasters can turn the
tide of combat in their favor.
Enhanced Effects: When Arcane Spark is cast using
a spell slot of 1st level or higher, the duration of the
spell increases by 1 minute for each slot level above
0. Additionally, the bonus to the golem's attack and
damage rolls increases by an additional +1 for every
two slot levels above 0. This heightened infusion of
arcane energy strengthens the golem even further,
making it a formidable force on the battlefield.

Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Target: One construct creature
Components: Verbal, somatic, material (a piece of
valuable gemstone, consumed upon casting)
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Repair Construct is a spell that allows you to mend
minor damage inflicted upon your golem or any other
construct creature. As you begin to cast the spell, a
faint glow emanates from your hands, infused with
the power of transmutation magic. You touch the
construct, channeling the energy into its damaged
form, repairing it with a surge of vitality.
The spell instantly restores a small amount of hit
points to the construct, sealing cracks, fixing broken
components, and revitalizing its mechanical or
magical mechanisms. The repaired construct is
infused with a renewed sense of strength and
stability.
While the spell is relatively simple, it requires a piece
of valuable gemstone as a material component,
which acts as a catalyst for the transmutation magic.
As you speak the verbal incantation and make the
necessary hand gestures, the gemstone
disintegrates, its essence merging with the flow of
magic and empowering the spell.
Enhanced Effects:
When casting Repair Construct using a spell slot of
1st level or higher, the spell's healing power
increases. For each level above 0, the amount of hit
points restored to the construct increases by a small
increment, ensuring more substantial repairs for
more severe damage.

Hexmaster
Description:
Elemental Infusion is a powerful spell that allows you
to infuse your golem with the raw energy of the
elements, empowering its attacks and enhancing its
destructive potential. As you begin casting the spell,
you must first touch the golem, establishing a
magical link between you and your creation.
Once the infusion takes place, the golem's attacks
gain additional elemental damage based on your
choice. You can select one of four elemental types:
fire, cold, acid, or lightning. The chosen element
courses through the golem's body, igniting or
freezing its limbs, or electrifying its form. This
infusion lasts until the end of your next turn.
While your golem's attacks become imbued with
elemental power, it also becomes vulnerable to the
opposing elemental type. For example, if you choose
to infuse it with fire, the golem becomes vulnerable to
cold damage. This vulnerability lasts until the end of
your next turn, leaving your golem more susceptible
to the opposing element's devastating effects.
The spell requires precise control and attunement to
the forces of nature, making it accessible only to
those skilled in the art of evocation. As you grow in
power and experience, you can cast Elemental
Infusion using higher-level spell slots, increasing the
potency of the infusion. At higher levels, the
additional elemental damage dealt by the golem's
attacks increases, ensuring its devastation is felt
across the battlefield.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When cast using a 2nd-level spell slot or higher, the
additional elemental damage dealt by the golem's
attacks increases by 1d6 for each level above 1st.
Name: Iron Skin
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 1st level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Target: One golem
Components: V, S, M (a small iron shard)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Iron Skin is a powerful transmutation spell that allows
Hexmaster
the caster to strengthen the armor of a golem,
granting it temporary hit points and enhancing its
defensive capabilities. When casting Iron Skin, the
spellcaster must touch the golem, infusing its metallic
frame with magical energy.
Upon casting the spell, the golem's armor takes on a
radiant glow, shimmering with an otherworldly power.
The golem is granted temporary hit points equal to
the spellcaster's spellcasting ability modifier. These
temporary hit points act as a protective barrier,
absorbing damage on behalf of the golem. The
golem's durability is greatly enhanced, allowing it to
withstand attacks that would normally dent its
metallic form.
However, the infusion of energy comes with a
drawback. While the temporary hit points granted by
Iron Skin are active, the golem's movement speed is
reduced by half. The magical energy flowing through
its core and limbs weighs it down, making it more
ponderous but also more resilient.
Iron Skin provides a significant advantage to the
golem in combat, allowing it to sustain itself in the
face of formidable adversaries. The temporary hit
points last until they are depleted or until the spell's
duration ends. If the golem receives healing while
under the effects of Iron Skin, the healing is applied
to the temporary hit points first.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When casting Iron Skin using a spell slot of 2nd level
or higher, the temporary hit points granted to the
golem increase by 5 for each slot level above 1st.
Additionally, for each slot level above 1st, the
movement speed reduction is reduced by 5 feet, to a
minimum of no reduction at all when cast with a 3rd
level or higher spell slot.
Name: Detonate Golem
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 2
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (20-foot radius)
Target: All creatures within a 20-foot radius
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a small vial
of alchemical explosive)
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Dexterity saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
657
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Detonate Golem is a potent spell that harnesses the
power of transmutation to sacrifice your golem and
unleash a devastating explosion. As you utter the
incantation and perform the intricate somatic
gestures, the air crackles with arcane energy, and
your golem trembles, sensing its imminent demise.
When you cast Detonate Golem, a sphere of intense
magical fire erupts from your golem, extending in a
20-foot radius around you. All creatures caught
within this fiery maelstrom must make a Dexterity
saving throw. The golem itself is instantly obliterated,
consumed by the destructive forces it once
embodied.
Those who fail the Dexterity saving throw suffer
significant fire damage, representing the explosive
power unleashed by the sacrificed golem. The exact
damage dealt depends on your level as a spellcaster
and can be calculated using the standard rules for
spell damage. The flames lick at the unfortunate
victims, searing their flesh and leaving them
vulnerable to the ravages of the arcane.
However, the sacrifice of your golem is not without
consequences. The spell permanently destroys the
construct, reducing it to scattered remnants of its
former self. To create a new golem, you must spend
time and resources, engaging in the intricate process
of crafting and imbuing life into the artificial being
once more.
Enhanced Effects:
If you cast Detonate Golem using a spell slot of 3rd
level or higher, the destructive power of the
explosion increases. The radius of the fiery blast
expands by 5 feet for each level above 2nd,
extending the devastation to a wider area.
Additionally, the fire damage inflicted upon the
creatures within the radius is augmented, reflecting
the heightened magical energy channeled into the
detonation.
Note: The casting of this spell requires the presence
of a golem under your control. The golem must be a
construct imbued with a semblance of life through
alchemical or magical means. The spell cannot be
used if you do not possess a golem or if the golem is
destroyed or no longer under your control.
Name: Elemental Barrier
School of Magic: Abjuration
Level: 2
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Target: One golem
Components: Verbal, somatic, material (a small vial
of elemental essence)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Elemental Barrier is a spell that allows you to
surround your golem with a shimmering shield of
elemental energy, providing it with enhanced
protection against various forms of damage. As you
weave the incantation and trace intricate gestures in
the air, you touch the golem, infusing it with the
elemental essence contained within the small vial.
Once the spell is cast, a vibrant shield of energy
envelops the golem, emanating an ethereal glow that
mirrors the elemental affinity you choose. This shield
grants the golem resistance to all damage types
except for one, which you must specify during the
casting of the spell. The chosen damage type could
be fire, cold, lightning, acid, thunder, force, radiant,
or necrotic, depending on the elemental essence you
used.
While the elemental shield provides formidable
defense, it is not without its risks. The shield's
unstable nature means that every time the golem
takes damage, there is a chance the shield will
collapse, leaving the golem vulnerable until the start
of your next turn. The chances of the shield
collapsing are dependent on the intensity of the
damage inflicted on the golem. Light or moderate
damage might have a low probability of collapse,
while heavy or critical damage carries a higher risk.
To maintain concentration on the spell, you must
focus your energy on the golem, ensuring that the
shield remains intact. If your concentration is broken,
the spell ends prematurely, and the golem loses the
benefits of the elemental barrier.
As you become more proficient in casting this spell at
higher levels, the duration of the elemental barrier
increases. When cast using a 3rd-level spell slot or
higher, the spell's duration extends by an additional
minute for each slot level above 2nd, allowing the
golem to remain protected for an extended period.
With Elemental Barrier, you can empower your
golem with a potent shield that harnesses the forces
658

of the elements, shielding it from harm while
introducing an element of risk and strategy to its
defense.

Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
As you channel the arcane energies, your voice
resonates with power, invoking the ancient forces
that command the elements. With a thunderous
boom, you summon a massive elemental colossus to
aid you in battle. This towering behemoth, standing
over 30 feet tall, is comprised of earth, stone, and
fire, its eyes burning with the intensity of a blazing
inferno.
The colossus is bound to your will, faithfully
executing your commands. It has 250 hit points, and
its mere presence inspires fear and awe in your
enemies. Whenever it enters the battlefield, all
creatures within a 30-foot radius must make a
Wisdom saving throw or be frightened for 1 minute,
their hearts pounding with trepidation.
The colossus possesses immense strength, capable
of unleashing devastating attacks against your foes.
When it makes a melee attack, it deals 4d10 + 6
bludgeoning damage. Additionally, any creature hit
by the colossus must succeed on a Strength saving
throw or be knocked prone, feeling the weight of its
colossal fists crashing upon them.
While the colossus fights on your behalf, you must
concentrate fully on controlling its every move. This
demands your undivided attention, preventing you
from casting spells or taking other actions. Any
interruption to your concentration, such as damage
or another spell, will cause the colossus to dissipate,
returning to the elemental plane from whence it
came.

against mind-affecting effects. However, this spell
also impairs the target's ability to communicate,
imposing disadvantage on Charisma-based skill
checks.
1st Level Spells:
Overclock: You push a device or machine beyond its
limits, temporarily enhancing its capabilities. This
spell grants advantage on skill checks or attack rolls
made with the targeted device, but there is a chance
the device may malfunction or break after the spell
ends.

causing all creatures within a 10-foot radius to have
disadvantage on their next attack roll. However, this
spell also disrupts your own connection to
technology, imposing disadvantage on your next
hacking attempt.

temporarily enhancing their physical attributes. The
target gains a bonus to Strength, Dexterity, or
Constitution checks and saving throws, but this spell

take 1d4 necrotic damage at the end of the spell's
duration.
2nd Level Spells:
Technomorph: You reconfigure the structure of a
construct or robotic creature, temporarily altering its
form and abilities. The target gains new features and
abilities, but it also becomes more unpredictable and
may act against your control, requiring a successful
Charisma saving throw to maintain control.
Viral Surge: You infect a target with a powerful viral
program, causing them to take ongoing damage for a
brief period. However, there is a chance that the
virus may spread to nearby allies, affecting them as
well.
Reality Distortion: You manipulate the fabric of reality
itself, creating an illusion that affects all creatures
within a 20-foot radius. This illusion can be used to
conceal or deceive, but it also affects your allies,
potentially confusing or hindering their actions.
3rd Level Spells:
Quantum Disruption: You disrupt the quantum states
of a target, causing them to flicker in and out of
existence. The target must succeed on a Constitution
saving throw or be banished to another plane of
existence temporarily. However, this spell also drains
your own life force, causing you to take 3d6 necrotic
damage.
662
Hexmaster
Chrono Shift: You manipulate time itself, granting a
target advantage on attack rolls, ability checks, and
saving throws for a brief period. However, after the

catches up, imposing disadvantage on all rolls for a
subsequent number of rounds.
Reality Collapse: You unleash a devastating burst of
energy, causing all creatures within a 30-foot radius

successful check, the Hacker gains useful
information, such as access codes, system
vulnerabilities, or stored data. The DM determines
the specifics based on the situation. This ability can
be used a number of times equal to the Hacker's
Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1) per long rest.

repertoire expands, and they learn new schematics.
To create a gadget or mod, the Hacker requires
access to a workshop or suitable equipment. They
must also spend a certain amount of time and
resources determined by the complexity of the item
being created. The specific rules for crafting gadgets
and mods follow the guidelines for crafting magic
items in the Hex Master's Guide.
Gadgets are small technological devices designed to
assist the Hacker in various tasks. They can take the
form of surveillance drones, holographic projectors,
lockpicking devices, or even portable shields. Each
gadget has a limited number of charges or uses per
day, as indicated by the schematic. The Hacker can
use their bonus action to activate or deactivate a
gadget.
Mods, on the other hand, are enhancements applied
to existing equipment or abilities. They can augment
weapons, armor, or even the Hacker's own body.

abilities. These abilities allow the Hacker to warp
reality, creating advantageous situations and altering
the outcome of events.
Reality Rift: The Hacker can create a temporary rift in
reality, opening a portal to another location of their
choice. This portal can be used for transportation,
allowing the Hacker and their allies to travel vast
distances in an instant. The range of this ability is
equal to the Hacker's Intelligence modifier multiplied
by 100 feet. The portal remains open for a duration
of 1 hour per Hacker level.
Temporal Distortion: The Hacker can manipulate
time within a localized area, slowing it down or
speeding it up as they see fit. This ability affects a
radius of 30 feet centered on the Hacker, and its
667
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
duration is 1 minute per Hacker level. While time is
distorted, the Hacker and their allies gain advantage
on all Dexterity saving throws and initiative rolls.
Additionally, any enemy within the affected area has
their movement speed reduced by half.
Quantum Entanglement: The Hacker can create a
link between themselves and another individual or
object, allowing them to share thoughts, emotions,
and sensory experiences. This ability can be used for
long-distance communication or to gain insight into
distant events. The range of this ability is equal to the
Hacker's Intelligence modifier multiplied by 1000 feet.
The link remains active for a duration of 10 minutes
per Hacker level.
Dimensional Shift: The Hacker can temporarily shift
their physical form into a higher dimension,
becoming intangible and immune to physical attacks
for a short period. This ability grants the Hacker
resistance to all damage except psychic damage and
lasts for 1 minute per Hacker level. While shifted, the
Hacker can pass through solid objects, move through
barriers, and avoid physical obstacles.
These reality manipulation abilities recharge after a
long rest. The Hacker must spend time recalibrating
their hacking device and meditating on the
complexities of reality to regain their full potential.
Hacker Spells
Name: Data Spike
School of Magic: Technomancy
Level: 0
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Data Spike is a spell that harnesses the power of
digital energy and channels it into a focused surge
directed at a target. As you utter the incantation and
make precise hand gestures, a surge of vibrant neon
light envelops your fingertips, crackling with electrical
currents. With a swift motion, you release the energy,
propelling it toward your chosen creature.
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Upon impact, the digital energy discharges, dealing
1d6 force damage to the target. The surge disrupts
the target's physical form, causing a momentary
distortion in reality as the force ripples through them.
The damage inflicted by this spell represents the
intense strain on the target's body from the sudden
influx of energy.
However, casting Data Spike comes with a caveat.
The spell leaves behind a distinct trace, like an
electronic fingerprint, that can be detected and
tracked by skilled individuals proficient in digital
tracking or magical divination. This trace contains
residual energy signatures that can potentially reveal
your location or activities to those who possess the
knowledge to decipher it.
Higher Level Casting: When you cast Data Spike
using a spell slot of 1st level or higher, the damage
increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 0.
Additionally, the trace left behind becomes more
intricate and challenging to detect, requiring greater
skill and resources to follow accurately. This
enhanced version of the spell represents your ability
to manipulate and amplify the digital energy, making
it more potent and elusive to those who might
attempt to uncover your actions.
Name: System Scan
School of Magic: Divination
Level: 0
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
With a swift and precise motion, you activate the
System Scan spell, tapping into the arcane currents
of the cosmos. As the magical energy envelops you,
your senses sharpen and become attuned to the
intricate workings of the digital realm.
While under the effects of System Scan, your
consciousness merges with the network of the target
you choose, whether it be a robotic sentinel, an
advanced computer system, or a cybernetically
enhanced individual. Through this connection, you
gain unparalleled insight into their vulnerabilities,
bypassing their digital defenses.
668
Hexmaster
For the duration of the spell, you have advantage on
your next hacking attempt against the target. You
become acutely aware of their weak points, hidden
backdoors, and exploitable vulnerabilities, granting
you an edge when attempting to breach their digital
fortifications.
However, the process of channeling your focus into
the System Scan leaves you momentarily vulnerable.
After the spell ends, you suffer a temporary lapse in
your own defenses, imposing disadvantage on your
next saving throw. The strain of delving into the
intricate layers of the digital matrix takes a toll on
your concentration, disrupting your natural resilience.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When casting System Scan using a spell slot of 1st
level or higher, the duration of the spell increases by
an additional minute for each level above the base 0-
level spell. Furthermore, the advantage granted on
your next hacking attempt becomes more potent,
increasing the chance of successfully breaching
even the most sophisticated security systems.
At 3rd level, the spell's duration is extended to 2
minutes, and you gain advantage on two consecutive
hacking attempts against the target.
At 5th level, the spell's duration increases to 3
minutes, and you gain advantage on three
consecutive hacking attempts against the target.
At 7th level, the spell's duration extends to 4 minutes,
and you gain advantage on four consecutive hacking
attempts against the target.
At 9th level, the spell's duration reaches its maximum
potential of 5 minutes, and you gain advantage on
five consecutive hacking attempts against the target.
Name: Data Encryption
School of Magic: Abjuration
Level: 0 (Cantrip)
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: 1 hour
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Hexmaster
Description:
Data Encryption is a cantrip spell from the school of
Abjuration, designed to protect a target's mind from
intrusion while simultaneously impeding their ability
to communicate effectively. When you cast this spell,
you touch a willing creature, granting them
advantage on saving throws against mind-affecting
effects.
As the magic of the spell takes hold, a shimmering
aura of translucent, arcane symbols surrounds the
target's head, resembling a complex web of intricate
patterns. These symbols represent an impenetrable
barrier, safeguarding the target's thoughts and
memories from prying magical forces.
However, the encryption process has unintended
consequences. While the target's mind becomes
fortified against external influences, their ability to
express themselves is affected. The encrypted
symbols form a barrier that hampers the target's
charisma-based interactions, imposing disadvantage
on any Charisma-based skill checks they make.
The encryption effect remains active for the duration
of the spell, enabling the target to resist mental
intrusions, such as attempts to read their mind or
influence their thoughts. This can be particularly
useful when facing creatures with psionic abilities or
powerful mind-controlling magic.
Enhanced Effects:
When you cast Data Encryption using a spell slot of
1st level or higher, the duration of the spell increases
by 1 hour for each level above 0. Additionally, the
advantage on saving throws against mind-affecting
effects is extended to any allies within a 10-foot
radius of the target. However, the disadvantage on
Charisma-based skill checks still affects only the
target, not the allies.
Name: Overclock
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 1st-Level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Target: One device or machine
Components: V, S, M (a tiny gear and a drop of oil)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
669
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Description:
With a flicker of arcane energy, you harness the
power of Transmutation magic to push a device or
machine beyond its limits. As you cast Overclock,
you touch the targeted device, infusing it with a surge
of magical energy that temporarily enhances its
capabilities.
For the duration of the spell, the targeted device
gains advantage on all skill checks or attack rolls
made while utilizing its functions. This advantage
manifests as a boost in precision, speed, and
efficiency. Whether it's a mechanical crossbow, a
futuristic energy rifle, or an advanced hacking device,
Overclock empowers the device to perform at its
peak potential.
However, the reckless infusion of magical energy
comes with a risk. After the spell ends or if
concentration is broken, there is a chance the device
may malfunction or even break. The extent of the
malfunction depends on various factors such as the
complexity of the device, its current state of
maintenance, and the intensity of the magical
overclock.
To determine if the device malfunctions, the DM
should make a judgment based on the
circumstances. Some possible malfunctions include
misfires, jams, temporary shutdowns, or even
catastrophic failures. The more powerful the
overclock, the higher the chance of malfunction. This
adds an element of uncertainty to the use of
Overclock, forcing players to weigh the benefits
against the potential risks.
Casting Overclock using a spell slot of 2nd level or
higher increases the spell's duration. When cast as a
2nd-level spell, it lasts for 10 minutes. For each
additional level above 2nd, the duration doubles,
allowing for extended periods of enhanced
performance. However, the risk of malfunction
remains the same, regardless of the spell's level.
Name: Static Field
School of Magic: Evocation
Level: 1st-Level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (10-foot radius)
Target: Creatures within a 10-foot radius
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
With a swift incantation and a wave of your hand,
you unleash a disruptive energy field that envelops
the area around you. The air crackles with static
electricity as a shimmering, translucent barrier forms,
distorting the surrounding space.
All creatures within a 10-foot radius of you are
affected by this spell. The disruptive energy field
imposes a profound disturbance on their senses,
causing them to experience a profound unease and
uncertainty. As a result, all affected creatures have
disadvantage on their next attack roll.
However, the spell's disruptive nature also affects
your own connection to technology. In the wake of
casting Static Field, your link to digital devices and
electronic systems becomes temporarily impaired,
imposing disadvantage on your next hacking
attempt. The interference caused by the energy field
disrupts the intricate signals and algorithms
necessary for successful digital infiltration.
For the duration of this spell, the air around you
crackles with energy, making it clear to all who see it
that something unusual is happening. The static field
persists only for an instant, but its effects can be far-
reaching.
At Higher Levels:
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd
level or higher, the radius of the disruptive energy
field increases by 5 feet for each slot level above 1st.
This amplifies the area of disturbance, affecting more
creatures within range and increasing the likelihood
of throwing them off-balance and hindering their
attacks.
Name: Nanite Surge
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 1st-level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Target: One creature
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Constitution saving throw
Spell Resistance: No
670
Hexmaster
Description:
Nanite Surge is a spell that harnesses the power of
advanced technology and arcane knowledge to
infuse a target with microscopic machines known as
nanites. As you weave the intricate gestures and
speak the incantation, your hands glow with a faint
bluish light, and a swarm of shimmering nanobots
materializes around your fingertips. When you touch
the chosen creature, the nanites immediately start to
integrate with its biology, temporarily enhancing their
physical attributes.
The target of Nanite Surge gains a bonus to
Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution checks and
saving throws, depending on your choice at the time
of casting. The chosen ability score is increased by 2
for the duration of the spell, bolstering the target's
natural abilities and providing them with newfound
strength, agility, or resilience. This enhancement can
aid the target in overcoming physical challenges,
evading dangers, or resisting debilitating effects.
However, the infusion of nanites also comes at a
cost. The constant interaction between the nanobots
and the target's body gradually takes a toll, causing
the target to suffer 1d4 necrotic damage at the end of
the spell's duration. The rapid replication and
consumption of biological matter by the nanites
weakens the target's vitality, leaving them physically
drained and susceptible to harm.
To maintain the spell's effects, you must concentrate,
channeling your magical energy to sustain the
connection between the target and the nanites. If
your concentration is broken, the spell immediately
ends, and the nanites disengage, dispersing
harmlessly into the surrounding air.
Casting Nanite Surge using a spell slot of 2nd level
or higher provides additional benefits. For each slot
level above 1st, the bonus to the chosen ability score
increases by 1, offering an even greater boost to the
target's physical prowess. Additionally, the necrotic
damage inflicted at the end of the spell's duration
increases by 1d4 for each slot level above 1st,
reflecting the heightened strain on the target's body
as more powerful nanites are employed.
Name: Technomorph
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 2
Hexmaster
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Target: One construct or robotic creature that you
can see within range
Components: Verbal, somatic, material (a microchip
worth at least 10 gp, which is consumed by the spell)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Charisma saving throw (see below)
Spell Resistance: No
Description: You reconfigure the structure of a
construct or robotic creature, temporarily altering its
form and abilities. You can choose one of the
following options for the target:
- Combat Mode: The target gains a +2 bonus to its
AC and attack rolls, and deals an extra 1d6 damage
of the same type as its weapon on a hit. It also gains
resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing
damage from nonmagical attacks.
- Stealth Mode: The target gains a +10 bonus to its
Dexterity (Stealth) checks and can move silently
without making any noise. It also gains advantage on
Dexterity saving throws and can use a bonus action
to hide or become invisible until the start of its next
turn.
- Utility Mode: The target gains a +10 bonus to its
Intelligence (Investigation) checks and can use an
action to scan an object or area within 60 feet of it,
learning its basic properties and functions. It also
gains proficiency in one skill or tool of your choice.
However, the spell also makes the target more
unpredictable and may act against your control. At
the start of each of its turns, the target must make a
Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC.
On a failed save, it acts as if under the confusion
spell for that turn. On a successful save, it follows
your commands for that turn. You can use your
action to end the spell early.
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd
level or higher, you can affect one additional
construct or robotic creature for each slot level above
2nd. You can choose a different option for each
target.
Name: Viral Surge
School of Magic: Technomancy
Level: 2
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
671
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Components: Verbal, somatic, material (a data chip)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Constitution saving throw
Spell Resistance: No
Description: You point your finger at a creature
within range and utter a command word, activating a
viral program stored on a data chip in your hand. The
target must make a Constitution saving throw or
become infected by the virus, taking 1d6 psychic
damage at the start of each of its turns as the virus
corrupts its neural network. The target can repeat the
saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending
the effect on itself on a success.
At the start of each of your turns, roll a d20. On a 10
or higher, the virus attempts to spread to another
creature of your choice within 10 feet of the original
target. The new target must make a Constitution
saving throw or become infected by the virus as well,
taking 1d6 psychic damage at the start of each of its
turns and repeating the saving throw at the end of
each of its turns. You can have up to three creatures
infected by the virus at the same time. If you lose
concentration on this spell, the virus ends on all
affected creatures.
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd
level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for
each slot level above 2nd.
This spell is a powerful weapon against enemies that
rely on technology or cybernetics, but it can also
backfire if you are not careful about who you target
or how close they are to your allies. The virus is also
susceptible to anti-virus programs or spells that can
cleanse or protect from diseases.
Name: Reality Distortion
School of Magic: Illusion
Level: 2
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: A 20-foot radius sphere centered on a point
within range
Components: Verbal, somatic, material (a piece of
broken glass)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Intelligence saving throw
Spell Resistance: No
Description: You utter a word of power and wave
your hand, shattering a piece of glass as you do so.
You create a distortion in the fabric of reality itself,
altering the perception of all creatures within a 20-
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
foot radius sphere centered on a point within range.
The distortion can take any form you choose, such
as changing the appearance of the terrain, creating
or removing objects, or altering the sounds and
smells in the area. The distortion is only visible to
creatures within the sphere, and it does not affect the
physical properties of anything in the area. For
example, you could make a wall appear to be a door,
but it would still block movement and sound as
normal.
Each creature that starts its turn in the sphere or
enters it for the first time on a turn must make an
Intelligence saving throw. On a failed save, the
creature believes the distortion to be real and acts
accordingly. For example, if you made a pit appear in
the ground, a creature that failed its save would try to
avoid falling into it or climb out of it if it did. On a
successful save, the creature realizes that the
distortion is an illusion and can see through it.
You can use your action to change the nature of the
distortion as long as you maintain concentration on
the spell. However, each time you do so, you must
make a Constitution saving throw with a DC equal to
10 + the number of times you have changed the
distortion. On a failed save, you lose concentration
on the spell and suffer 1d6 psychic damage per level
of the spell as your mind reels from the strain of
warping reality.
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd
level or higher, you can increase the radius of the
sphere by 5 feet for each slot level above 2nd.
Name: Quantum Disruption
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, somatic, material (a piece of
quantum foam or a miniature black hole)
Duration: 1 round
Saving Throw: Constitution
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: You utter a complex formula and
gesture with your hands, manipulating the fabric of
reality around a creature of your choice within range.
You attempt to disrupt the quantum states of the
target, causing them to flicker in and out of
existence. The target must make a Constitution
saving throw or be banished to another plane of
672
Hexmaster
existence for 1 round. While banished, the target is
incapacitated and can't take actions or reactions. At
the end of your next turn, the target reappears in the
space it left or in the nearest unoccupied space if
that space is occupied.
However, this spell also drains your own life force,
causing you to take 3d6 necrotic damage when you
cast it. This damage can't be reduced or prevented
by any means.
This spell is based on cutting-edge theoretical
physics and arcane research, and is considered
highly dangerous and experimental. Only a few
mages have mastered it, and some have paid a
terrible price for their curiosity. The spell can have
unpredictable side effects, such as creating temporal
anomalies, wormholes, or paradoxes. The DM has
the final say on what happens when you cast this
spell.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a
spell slot of 4th level or higher, you can target one
additional creature for each slot level above 3rd. The
creatures must be within 30 feet of each other when
you target them. You also take an additional 1d6
necrotic damage for each slot level above 3rd.
Name: Chrono Shift
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, somatic, material (a small
hourglass)
Duration: 1 round

Spell Resistance: No
Description: You utter a word of temporal power
and point your finger at a creature within range. You
bend the flow of time around the target, making it act
faster and more efficiently for a brief moment. The
target gains advantage on attack rolls, ability checks,
and saving throws until the end of its next turn.
However, this spell comes with a price. As soon as
the spell ends, the target feels a sudden surge of
fatigue and confusion as time snaps back to normal.
The target suffers disadvantage on all rolls for a
number of rounds equal to the level of the spell slot
used to cast this spell.

Appearance: Inquisitors are clad in dark, somber
attire, their garments adorned with intricate religious
symbols and markings. They exude an aura of
authority and determination, with piercing eyes that
seem to see through the lies and deceptions of the
world. Many Inquisitors wear hooded cloaks that
conceal their features, enhancing their mysterious
and intimidating presence. Their weapons and armor
are meticulously maintained and often bear religious
engravings or inscriptions.
Limitations: Inquisitors' reliance on their faith and
divine magic makes them vulnerable to anti-magic
zones or powerful spells that can suppress or nullify
their abilities. They are most effective when pursuing
their chosen targets and may struggle in situations
that require subtlety or diplomacy. Inquisitors'
zealous nature can also make them targets of
enemies seeking to undermine or eliminate them.
Organizations:

of Inquisitors is dedicated to the eradication of
demonic influences and the preservation of holy
knowledge. They are renowned for their fiery zeal

massive cathedral-like fortress situated atop a

legendary Inquisitor whose unwavering devotion and
relentless pursuit of justice have become the stuff of
legends. She is said to possess an innate ability to

renowned for his exceptional resilience and
unwavering faith in the divine. He has spent
centuries delving into the ancient ruins beneath

figure, averting a catastrophe.

ancient forbidden tome rumored to hold immense
knowledge about the world's history and hidden

and evade the relentless pursuit of the Inquisitors.
2. The Corrupted Priest: A revered priest of a
prominent faith has been accused of heresy and
corruption. The party is approached by a desperate
congregation seeking assistance in proving the
priest's innocence. The Inquisitors tasked with the
investigation seem unyielding and convinced of the
priest's guilt. The party must gather evidence,
uncover the true culprits, and expose the hidden
agendas that threaten to tear apart the faithful.
3. The Relic of Divine Justice: Legends speak of a
fabled relic hidden within an ancient temple deep in
the heart of Maxxia. The relic is said to grant
immense power to those who wield it, but its location
is only known to the Inquisitors. The party is
approached by a mysterious informant who claims to
possess the key to finding the temple. They must ally
themselves with Inquisitors to retrieve the relic before
it falls into the wrong hands.
Variants:
1. Shadow Inquisitor: In certain secretive circles,
there exists a variant of the Inquisitor known as the
Shadow Inquisitor. These enigmatic individuals
forsake the light and embrace the shadows, utilizing
forbidden arts and forbidden knowledge to achieve
their goals. Shadow Inquisitors are often associated
with clandestine organizations and operate outside
the boundaries of traditional morality.
2. Inquisitor of the Elders: This variant of the
Inquisitor draws power not from divine faith but from
the ancient knowledge left behind by the elder races
of Maxxia. These Inquisitors delve deep into the
ruins of the past, studying ancient artifacts and
deciphering the secrets of forgotten civilizations.
They wield esoteric powers and possess a profound
understanding of the world's history, making them
invaluable allies in uncovering ancient truths.
Comments: Ah, the Inquisitor, a fearsome and
uncompromising champion of faith and justice.
These tenacious hunters thrive in a world teeming
with corruption and treachery, their dedication to their
cause unwavering. Witness their interrogations,
where the guilty are laid bare and the innocent
protected. But beware, for the Inquisitor's zealous
Hexmaster
pursuit of righteousness can become a double-edged
sword, blinding them to the nuances of gray. They
tread a fine line between the divine and the
mundane, carrying the weight of their faith on their
shoulders. And in the world of Maxxia, where
darkness seeps from every crevice, the Inquisitor
stands as a beacon of unwavering conviction.
Spell List:
Cantrips:
Whispered Secrets: You whisper a forbidden
incantation, infusing your words with magical power.
Choose a creature within 30 feet of you that can hear
you. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw
or be compelled to speak the truth for the next
minute. However, every word they utter while under
the effect of this spell causes them searing pain,
dealing 1d4 psychic damage to them.
Brand of Truth: You touch an object, marking it with a
glowing symbol of divine truth. For the next hour,
anyone who holds or touches the object is compelled
to speak the truth when asked a direct question.
However, the marked object emits a faint magical
aura, making it easier for enemies to track the
Inquisitor.
1st-level Spells:
Zone of Interrogation: You create an invisible zone of
truth within a 15-foot radius. All creatures within the
zone must make a Charisma saving throw. If they
fail, they are magically compelled to speak the truth.
However, the Inquisitor becomes visible to all
creatures in the zone, making it difficult for them to
maintain stealth or surprise.
Divine Inquisition: You summon ethereal shackles
675
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
that bind a creature within 30 feet. The target must
make a Strength saving throw or be restrained for 1
minute. While restrained, the creature takes 1d6
radiant damage at the start of each of its turns.
However, the Inquisitor is also bound by the
shackles, suffering disadvantage on Dexterity saving
throws and Dexterity-based checks.
2nd-level Spells:
Judgment of Retribution: You channel divine energy
into your weapon, imbuing it with righteous power.
The next attack you make deals an additional 2d8
radiant damage. However, upon using this spell, the
Inquisitor is marked by a supernatural sigil, making
them vulnerable to all damage until the end of their
next turn.
Soulrending Gaze: You fix your gaze upon a creature
within 60 feet, forcing it to make a Wisdom saving
throw. On a failed save, the target suffers 3d6
psychic damage and is stunned until the end of its
next turn. However, using this spell leaves the
Inquisitor mentally fatigued, imposing disadvantage
on Intelligence and Wisdom saving throws until they
complete a long rest.
3rd-level Spells:
Rite of Punishment: You invoke a sacred rite of
punishment, creating a 20-foot radius sphere of
divine energy centered on yourself. All creatures in
the area must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking
4d8 radiant damage on a failed save or half as much
on a successful one. However, using this spell drains
the Inquisitor's vitality, reducing their maximum hit
points by half until they complete a long rest.
Word of Revelation: You speak a powerful
incantation, revealing hidden truths and secrets to all
creatures within a 30-foot radius. All affected
creatures must make a Wisdom saving throw or be
stunned for 1 minute. However, the immense mental
strain of unleashing this spell causes the Inquisitor to
lose their ability to cast spells until they complete a
short or long rest.
Name: Sacred Judgement
Level: 1st
Description: The Inquisitor's unwavering faith grants
them the ability to see through the veils of deception
and perceive the true nature of individuals. With
Divine Discernment, the Inquisitor can detect lies,
hidden motives, and disguised creatures, allowing
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
them to navigate social interactions and uncover
secrets.
Mechanics:
Range: Self
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
Usage: Once per short rest
While under the effects of Divine Discernment, the
Inquisitor gains the following benefits:
Insightful Gaze: The Inquisitor gains advantage on
Wisdom (Insight) checks made to discern whether a
creature is lying or hiding its true intentions.
Additionally, they can make Wisdom (Insight) checks
as a bonus action.
Unmask the Deceiver: As an action, the Inquisitor
can focus their gaze on a creature within 60 feet. The
targeted creature must make a Charisma saving
throw against the Inquisitor's spell save DC. On a
failed save, the Inquisitor learns if the creature is
currently under the effects of an illusion or shape-
changing magic. If the creature is hiding its true form,
the Inquisitor gains advantage on their next attack
roll against that creature.
Aura of Truth: The Inquisitor emits a subtle aura of
divine presence, creating an atmosphere of unease
for those who harbor deceit. While Divine
Discernment is active, any creature that starts its turn
within 10 feet of the Inquisitor must make a Wisdom
saving throw against the Inquisitor's spell save DC or
suffer disadvantage on Charisma-based ability
checks and saving throws until the start of their next
turn.

proficiency in the Insight skill, reflecting their honed
ability to perceive hidden motives and deceitful
intentions. Additionally, they can use their Wisdom
modifier instead of Charisma when making Charisma
(Deception) checks to see through lies.

proficiency in the Investigation skill, representing
their aptitude for scrutinizing clues, analyzing
evidence, and deducing the truth from seemingly
unrelated details. When performing an Investigation
check, they can add their proficiency bonus twice,
instead of once.
Judicious Intimidation: The Inquisitor can use their
Divine Smite feature to instill fear and extract
information from their foes. When the Inquisitor
successfully hits a creature with a melee weapon
attack, they can choose to expend a spell slot to deal
an additional 2d8 radiant damage. If the target fails a
Wisdom saving throw against the Inquisitor's spell
save DC, they become frightened until the end of
their next turn. This feature can be used a number of
times equal to the Inquisitor's Wisdom modifier
(minimum of 1), and they regain all expended uses
after completing a long rest.
Expose the Guilty: Through divine insight and the
power of their unwavering faith, the Inquisitor can
discern the guilt or innocence of a creature they
interact with. Once per day, as an action, they can
cast the spell Zone of Truth, centered on themselves,
without expending a spell slot. The spell functions as
normal, requiring affected creatures to make a
Charisma saving throw against the Inquisitor's spell
save DC to avoid being affected. Additionally, the
Inquisitor has advantage on any Insight checks made
to determine if a creature is affected by a magical
effect that would prevent them from speaking the
truth.
Sacred Oath: As part of their initiation into the order
of the Inquisitors, the character swears a sacred oath
to uphold the tenets of their faith and to relentlessly
pursue justice. This oath grants them additional
authority and recognition within their religious order
and the broader community of the faithful. They gain
advantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks made
to interact with members of their faith and may use
their Divine Smite feature once per short rest without
expending a spell slot.
Name: Inquisition Techniques
Level: 2nd
Description: Inquisition Techniques represents the
specialized skills and methods that Inquisitors
Hexmaster
acquire through rigorous training and experience.
These techniques enable them to navigate complex
social situations, gather information discreetly, and
manipulate the hearts and minds of individuals to
further their cause. Inquisition Techniques empower
Inquisitors to uncover hidden truths, gain allies, and
strike fear into the hearts of their enemies.
Mechanics:
Interrogator's Insight: Through careful observation
and shrewd analysis, Inquisitors gain a remarkable
ability to detect lies and deception. As an action, you
can make a Wisdom (Insight) check contested by the
target's Charisma (Deception) check. If you succeed,
you can discern whether the target is speaking the
truth or lying to the best of your knowledge.
Additionally, you gain advantage on Charisma
(Intimidation) checks when interrogating individuals
who are aware of your reputation as an Inquisitor.
This feature can be used a number of times equal to
your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once) and resets
after a long rest.
Covert Inquisition: Inquisitors have learned to
operate covertly, blending into their surroundings and
infiltrating secretive organizations with ease. You
gain proficiency in the Stealth skill, and your
proficiency bonus is doubled when making Stealth
checks in urban or indoor environments. Additionally,
you have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks
made to hide or remain undetected while wearing
light or medium armor.
Divine Intimidation: The presence and aura of an
Inquisitor strike fear into the hearts of those who
oppose them. When you successfully hit a creature
with a weapon attack, you can choose to channel
your divine power into the strike. The target must
make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save
DC. On a failed save, the target becomes frightened
of you until the end of its next turn. Once you use this
feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short
or long rest.
Inquisitorial Authority: Your position as an Inquisitor
grants you the authority to command obedience and
cooperation from those who recognize your status.
When interacting with non-hostile individuals who are
aware of your role as an Inquisitor, you have
advantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks to
convince them to assist you, share information, or
grant you access to restricted areas. Furthermore,
you gain proficiency in the Intimidation skill if you do
not already have it.
677
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Elusive Shadow: Inquisitors are adept at slipping
away from danger and escaping pursuit. When you
take the Dash action on your turn, you can move
through the space of any creature that is of a size
larger than yours. Additionally, opportunity attacks
made against you have disadvantage until the start
of your next turn. Once you use this feature, you
can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Name: Beacon of Discernment
Level: 3rd
Description: The Inquisitor's unwavering dedication
to uncovering the truth and rooting out deception
manifests in a powerful aura known as the Beacon of
Discernment. This aura radiates from the Inquisitor,
imbuing their surroundings with an intense sense of
scrutiny and exposing hidden truths. Within this aura,
lies are harder to conceal, and the Inquisitor gains
enhanced perception and insight, making them a
master of uncovering secrets and unraveling
mysteries.
Mechanics:
Range: 30-foot radius centered on the Inquisitor
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

- Effect: While the Beacon of Discernment is active,
the following effects occur:
1. Truth's Radiance: Any creature within the aura

Wisdom (Perception) and Wisdom (Insight) checks
made within the aura.
3. Secrets Revealed: The Inquisitor can cast the
spell "Detect Thoughts" at will without expending a
spell slot. They can target any creature within the
aura as long as the target is within range.
Notes: The Beacon of Discernment not only aids the
Inquisitor in their investigative endeavors but also
allows them to foster an environment of honesty and
transparency. It can be a powerful tool in social
interactions, negotiations, and diplomatic missions,
as the Inquisitor can quickly ascertain the truth and
uncover hidden agendas. Furthermore, the ability to
cast "Detect Thoughts" at will within the aura
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
provides the Inquisitor with valuable insight into the
minds of others, aiding in their quest for justice and
exposing potential threats.
Outside of combat, the Inquisitor can utilize the
Beacon of Discernment to establish truth-seeking
courts, conduct interrogations, or hold gatherings
where individuals are encouraged to share their
thoughts openly. This class feature enhances the
Inquisitor's abilities as an investigator and ensures
that the pursuit of justice and the eradication of
falsehoods extend beyond the battlefield.
Name: Dominion of Faith
Level: 4th
Description: With the acquisition of the 4th level, the
Inquisitor ascends to a position of authority and is
entrusted with a region to control and oversee. This
domain grants them the power to establish their
influence, spread their faith, and command a group
of junior Inquisitors who serve under their guidance.
As the leader of their dominion, the Inquisitor
becomes a formidable force in shaping the destiny of
their region and upholding the tenets of their faith.
Mechanics:
Region Establishment: The Inquisitor selects a
region or territory to establish their dominion. This
region can be a city, a province, a wilderness area,
or any other defined geographic location. The size
and specific features of the region depend on the
setting and the Hex Master's discretion.
Junior Inquisitors: As the ruler of the dominion, the
Inquisitor can recruit and train junior Inquisitors who
are dedicated to their cause. The number of junior
Inquisitors initially available is determined by the Hex
Master, taking into account the size and resources of
the region.

authority within their dominion. They can issue
orders, make proclamations, and enforce the laws of
their faith. Their words carry weight, and their

unique benefits and resources within their dominion.
These may include:

These faithful supporters can provide assistance,
resources, and even serve as bodyguards,
enhancing the Inquisitor's personal security and
influence.
Divine Authority: The Inquisitor's dominion is
recognized as a sacred territory of their faith. This
recognition grants them a level of divine authority
and protection. The specifics of this protection, such
as divine blessings, divine intervention, or other
supernatural effects, can be determined in
collaboration with the Hex Master.
Administrative Duties: Along with the privileges of
rulership come administrative duties. The Inquisitor
must manage the day-to-day affairs of their
dominion, including law enforcement, resource
allocation, and resolving disputes among their

depending on the Inquisitor's preference and the

striking fear into the hearts of evildoers and
delivering swift retribution.
Mechanics:

divine energy, marking a target for Divine
Hexmaster
Judgement. The target must be within 60 feet of the

throws against spells and other magical effects cast
by the marked target.
Duration: Divine Judgement lasts for 1 minute or
until the marked target is reduced to 0 hit points or
falls unconscious.
Usage: The Inquisitor can use Divine Judgement
once, regaining the ability to use it again after

Spell List:
Name: Whispered Secrets
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: 0
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Target: One creature that can hear you
Components: Verbal
Duration: 1 minute
Saving Throw: Wisdom
Spell Resistance: No
Description: Whispered Secrets is a mysterious and
potent enchantment spell that allows you to unleash
a forbidden incantation, channeling magical power
into your whispered words. When casting this spell,
you must choose a creature within 30 feet of you that
can hear you. The target then becomes the focus of
679
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
your enchantment.
The spell compels the target to speak the truth for
the next minute, forcing them to reveal information
that they might otherwise keep hidden. However, the
power of the spell comes with a price. Every word
the target utters while under the effect of this spell
causes them searing pain, manifesting as 1d4
psychic damage each time they speak.
The target has an opportunity to resist the spell's
effects by making a Wisdom saving throw. If
successful, they are unaffected by the spell and can
speak freely without suffering any consequences.
However, if they fail the saving throw, they are bound
by the enchantment's influence.
While under the spell's effect, the target is compelled
to speak the truth, unable to lie or deceive. This
effect can be especially useful when interrogating
enemies, extracting information, or resolving
disputes. The pain inflicted by their own words
serves as a deterrent, encouraging the target to
carefully consider their responses.
It is important to note that this spell only affects one
creature at a time and requires the target to be within
30 feet and able to hear the caster's whisper. The
spell does not have any material components, but it
relies solely on the power of the caster's voice and
their ability to weave magic through their words.
Enhanced Effects: When cast using a spell slot of
higher level than 0, the duration of the spell
increases by 1 minute for each level above 0.
Additionally, the psychic damage inflicted by each
word the target speaks while under the spell's effect
increases by 1d4 for every two levels above 0 (2d4
at 2nd level, 3d4 at 4th level, and so on).
Name: Brand of Truth
School of Magic: Divination
Level: 0
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Target: Object
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: 1 hour
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Brand of Truth is a spell that allows the caster to
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
touch an object and mark it with a glowing symbol of
divine truth. When casting the spell, the inquisitor
utters an incantation, invoking the power of divine
knowledge. The symbol appears on the surface of
the chosen object, emanating a soft, ethereal glow.
Once marked, the object becomes imbued with a
magical aura that lasts for the next hour. Any
individual who holds or touches the object during this
time is compelled to speak the truth when asked a
direct question. The magic instills a strong
compulsion within the person, making it nearly
impossible for them to lie or deceive.
However, the magical aura emitted by the marked
object can also act as a double-edged sword. It
creates a faint trail that can be detected by enemies
and those skilled in tracking magic. Thus, the spell
grants a disadvantage to the Inquisitor, making it
easier for adversaries to locate them. This aspect
emphasizes the delicate balance between using the
Brand of Truth to extract information and the
potential risk it poses to the inquisitor's safety.
The Brand of Truth is particularly useful in
interrogations, investigations, and situations where
acquiring accurate information is crucial. It can aid
the inquisitor in uncovering secrets, exposing
deception, and seeking justice. However, it requires
careful consideration of the circumstances and
potential consequences.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When cast using a higher level spell slot, the
duration of the Brand of Truth spell can be extended.
For each level above 0, the spell's duration increases
by an additional hour. This enhancement allows the
inquisitor to maintain the effects of the spell for an
extended period, enabling a more thorough and in-
depth investigation or interrogation. However, it also
amplifies the risk associated with the magical aura,
making it even easier for enemies to track the
inquisitor.
Name: Zone of Interrogation
School of Magic: Divination
Level: 1st-Level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (15-foot radius)
Target: All creatures within the radius
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Charisma
680
Hexmaster
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
You tap into the mysteries of the arcane, creating an
invisible zone of truth that permeates the air around
you. Within a 15-foot radius centered on yourself, a
powerful aura engulfs the area, compelling all
creatures within to speak only the truth. The zone
extends around corners and through objects, leaving
no hiding place for deception or lies.
When you cast this spell, all creatures within the
zone must make a Charisma saving throw. On a
failed save, they are magically compelled to speak
only the truth until the spell ends. This truth-telling
compulsion affects even creatures that are normally
immune to such effects, ensuring no secrets can
remain hidden.
However, the nature of this spell has its drawbacks.
While the zone is active, you become visible to all
creatures within its range, creating a conspicuous
presence that makes it difficult for you to maintain
stealth or surprise. Your form flickers with an
ethereal glow, indicating your connection to the zone
of interrogation. This visibility acts as a deterrent for
those who might attempt to deceive you or avoid
revealing crucial information.
As a 1st-level spell, the Zone of Interrogation
provides a potent tool for gathering information and
uncovering hidden truths. However, as you advance
in power, you can cast this spell using higher-level
spell slots to enhance its effects. When cast using a
spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the radius of the
zone increases by 5 feet for each slot level above
1st. Additionally, the DC for the Charisma saving
throw increases by 1 for every two slot levels above
1st, making it harder for creatures to resist the spell's
truth-revealing power.
Name: Divine Inquisition
School of Magic: Conjuration
Level: 1st-Level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Strength saving throw
Spell Resistance: No
Description: Divine Inquisition is a potent spell that
Hexmaster
taps into the ethereal planes, allowing the caster to
summon mystical shackles that bind a target
creature within 30 feet. The inquisitor must speak a
series of ancient incantations and make intricate
gestures to channel the conjuration magic.
Once cast, the target creature must make a Strength
saving throw to resist the binding power of the
ethereal shackles. If the saving throw fails, the
creature becomes restrained for the duration of the
spell, unable to move or escape. The ethereal
shackles emit a soft radiant glow, emphasizing the
divine nature of the spell.
While restrained, the bound creature suffers 1d6
radiant damage at the start of each of its turns. The
radiant energy pierces through its defenses, causing
both physical and spiritual harm. This damage
symbolizes the inquisitor's relentless pursuit of
justice and the divine judgment being cast upon the
target.
However, the power of the shackles extends to the
inquisitor as well. While maintaining the spell, the
inquisitor also becomes bound by the ethereal
shackles, symbolizing their willingness to share the
burden of justice and the sacrifices they make for the
cause. As a result, the inquisitor suffers
disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws and
Dexterity-based checks, their movements hindered
by the shackles that connect them to their target.
The spell can be cast using higher-level spell slots,
which enhances its effects. When cast using a spell
slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage inflicted by
the radiant shackles increases by 1d6 for each slot
level above 1st.
Name: Judgment of Retribution
School of Magic: Evocation
Level: 2
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
The Judgment of Retribution is a potent spell that
allows the Inquisitor to channel divine energy into
681
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
their weapon, infusing it with righteous power. As the
Inquisitor speaks the ancient words of power and
traces intricate symbols in the air, a radiant aura
envelops their weapon, illuminating the surroundings
with a soft, ethereal light.
Once cast, the Inquisitor's next attack with the
empowered weapon carries the force of divine
justice, dealing an additional 2d8 radiant damage.
The power unleashed upon impact engulfs the target
in a blinding burst of radiant energy, leaving them
momentarily stunned and weakened.
However, the price for wielding this righteous might
comes in the form of a supernatural sigil that appears
upon the Inquisitor. This sigil, an intricate marking
representing their commitment to justice, makes the
Inquisitor vulnerable to all forms of damage until the
end of their next turn. It symbolizes the burden they
bear in their pursuit of righteousness and serves as a
reminder of the sacrifices required to uphold justice
in a chaotic world.
Enhanced Effects:
When casting Judgment of Retribution using a spell
slot of 3rd level or higher, the additional radiant
damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above
2nd.
The enhanced divine energy further intensifies the
blinding burst of radiant energy upon impact,
increasing the chance of stunning the target. The
target must make a Constitution saving throw or be
stunned until the end of its next turn. The DC for the
saving throw is 8 + the Inquisitor's proficiency bonus
+ their Charisma modifier.
In addition, when casting this spell using a 4th level
or higher spell slot, the vulnerability to all damage
endured by the Inquisitor is reduced to half damage
instead. The Inquisitor's dedication to justice bolsters
their resilience against harm, enabling them to
withstand more punishment while still maintaining
their righteous offensive.
Name: Soulrending Gaze
School of Magic: Divination
Level: 2
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Wisdom
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
With the power of your divinatory abilities, you fix
your gaze upon a chosen creature within 60 feet,
delving into the depths of their soul. As you lock eyes
with your target, you channel your psychic energy to
rend their very essence, inflicting devastating
damage and overwhelming their senses.
The targeted creature must make a Wisdom saving
throw. On a failed save, the spell takes hold,
unleashing a torrent of psychic energy upon the
target's mind. The creature suffers 3d6 psychic
damage, as their consciousness is overwhelmed with
searing pain and torment. Additionally, the force of
the spell stuns the target, rendering them incapable
of taking any actions until the end of their next turn.
However, wielding such intense psychic power takes
a toll on the Inquisitor's mental faculties. After casting
this spell, the Inquisitor becomes mentally fatigued,
causing their thoughts to become clouded and
unfocused. This fatigue manifests as a disadvantage
on Intelligence and Wisdom saving throws until they
have the opportunity to complete a long rest and
regain their mental clarity.
Enhanced Effects:
When casting this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level
or higher, the psychic damage inflicted increases by
1d6 for each slot level above 2nd. Additionally, the
stun effect imposed on the target lasts for an
additional round for each slot level above 2nd. This
heightened level of mastery over the soul-rending
gaze amplifies the spell's potency and extends the
target's torment.
Note: The Inquisitor must maintain direct eye contact
with the target throughout the casting of this spell.
Breaking eye contact prematurely disrupts the spell's
effect, and the target is unaffected. Furthermore,
creatures immune to psychic damage or those with
extraordinary mental fortitude may resist or shrug off
the debilitating effects of this spell.
Name: Rite of Punishment
School of Magic: Evocation
Level: 3
682
Hexmaster
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (20-foot radius sphere)
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Dexterity
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
You invoke a sacred rite of punishment, channeling
divine energy to create a 20-foot radius sphere of
radiant power centered on yourself. As you utter the
incantation, the air crackles with energy, and the
sphere pulsates with a brilliant, holy light.
All creatures within the area of effect must make a
Dexterity saving throw. The divine energy surges
through their bodies, punishing them for their
transgressions. On a failed save, they suffer the full
wrath of the rite and take 4d8 radiant damage. On a
successful save, they manage to partially evade the
punishment and take only half as much damage.
However, casting the Rite of Punishment exacts a
toll on the Inquisitor who wields its power. The divine
energy drains the Inquisitor's vitality, temporarily
reducing their maximum hit points by half. This
reduction persists until the Inquisitor completes a
long rest and replenishes their strength.
The Rite of Punishment is a potent weapon of
retribution, a beacon of divine justice that smites
those who have strayed from the righteous path. It is
a fearsome tool in the hands of an Inquisitor,
enabling them to mete out judgment upon their foes
with unwavering determination.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level
or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot
level above 3rd.
Name: Word of Revelation
School of Magic: Divination
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (30-foot radius)
Target: All creatures within a 30-foot radius
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Wisdom
Hexmaster
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: Word of Revelation is a spell of great
insight and revelation, tapping into the powers of
divination. When you cast this spell, you unleash a
powerful incantation, speaking words laden with
ancient knowledge and hidden truths. The sound of
your voice resonates with ethereal echoes, carrying
the weight of forgotten wisdom and untold secrets.
All creatures within a 30-foot radius of you become
the recipients of this magical revelation. They must
make a Wisdom saving throw to resist its effects.
Those who fail are overwhelmed by the sheer
magnitude of the revealed truths and find themselves
stunned for 1 minute.
The stunned creatures are trapped in a state of
profound realization, their minds struggling to
process the flood of information. They are unable to
take actions or move, completely vulnerable to the
world around them. However, they can repeat the
Wisdom saving throw at the end of each of their
turns, shaking off the effects of the spell if they
succeed.
It is important to note that unleashing the Word of
Revelation comes at a great cost to the caster. The
immense mental strain incurred from accessing and
channeling such profound knowledge and power
causes the Inquisitor to lose their ability to cast spells
until they complete a short or long rest. This sacrifice
represents the toll exacted by the intertwining forces
of divination and the mortal mind.
Enhanced Spell Effects: When you cast Word of
Revelation using a spell slot of 4th level or higher,
the radius of the spell increases by 10 feet for each
slot level above 3rd. Additionally, the DC for the
Wisdom saving throw increases by 1 for every level
above 3rd, making it more difficult for creatures to
resist the overwhelming revelation.

and teachings.

who have dedicated their lives to the pursuit of
knowledge and enlightenment. They have honed
their skills to become master teachers and guides,

enlightenment. They carry themselves with a
dignified presence, exuding an air of sagacity and
authority. Their eyes sparkle with knowledge, and
their voice carries the weight of countless lessons
learned.
Limitations: While Mentors excel in supporting and
guiding their allies, they possess limited offensive
capabilities. In direct combat, they rely heavily on
their spells and supportive abilities, making them
vulnerable when facing powerful foes alone. Mentors
also require time and focus to prepare their spells,
limiting their immediate response in fast-paced
situations.
Organizations:
1. The Illuminators: This ancient order of Mentors
has dedicated itself to the preservation and
dissemination of knowledge. They are scholars,
historians, and teachers, who work tirelessly to
unlock the secrets of the past and protect the
wisdom of the ages.
2. The Guardians of Balance: These Mentors follow
a more martial path, focusing on maintaining the
delicate equilibrium between opposing forces. They
use their knowledge and magic to prevent the world
of Maxxia from tipping into chaos, safeguarding the
realms from both natural and supernatural threats.
3. The Arcane Academy: A renowned institution
where Mentors gather to share their knowledge and
train new generations of magical practitioners. The
Academy serves as a center for research, magical
experiments, and the exploration of ancient ruins.
Notable Users:
1. Elara the Wise: Elara is a legendary Mentor known
for her profound insights and unwavering dedication
to the pursuit of knowledge. She is said to have

of hidden artifacts and saved entire cities from
disaster through her guidance.

Mentor from the Illuminators who has spent centuries
amassing a vast library of forbidden texts and lost
knowledge. He has become a living repository of
wisdom and is sought after by scholars from across
Maxxia for his counsel.
3. Lyra Ironheart: Lyra is a member of the Guardians
of Balance and a skilled combat Mentor. She
combines her mastery of swordplay with her
knowledge of ancient martial techniques, making her
684
Hexmaster
a formidable force against those who seek to disrupt
the natural order.
Adventure Hooks:
1. The Forgotten Tome: Rumors circulate about a
lost Mentor's Tome, said to contain forbidden
knowledge capable of reshaping reality. Aspiring
Mentors and rival organizations seek its
whereabouts, hoping to harness its power or protect
the world from its potential misuse.
2. The Apprentice's Quest: A young and promising
student of a renowned Mentor has gone missing
while on a quest to uncover a hidden crypt of ancient
secrets. The Mentor seeks a group of capable
adventurers to find the apprentice and ensure their
safe return.
3. The Prophecy of Wisdom: A cryptic prophecy
foretells a great catastrophe that will befall Maxxia
unless a group of Mentors, guided by the signs and
riddles within the prophecy, can unravel its meaning
and prevent the impending doom.
Variants:
1. Void Scholar: In certain regions of Maxxia, where
the influence of ancient cosmic forces is strong,
Mentors take on a different path known as Void
Scholars. These Mentors specialize in understanding
the cosmic energies that permeate the hollow world,
granting them unique insights and abilities related to
space, time, and the unknown.
2. Nature Warden: Mentors who focus on the natural
world become Nature Wardens. They are deeply
attuned to the flora and fauna of Maxxia, wielding
their wisdom to heal the land, communicate with
animals, and harness the power of the elements to
protect and restore the balance of nature.
Comments (by Malidrex the Twisted Witch):
Ah, the esteemed Mentors of Maxxia, the purveyors
of wisdom and the bringers of enlightenment! These
scholarly souls are the guiding lights in a world
shrouded in mystery and darkness. With their
sagacity and magical prowess, they can be
formidable allies or exasperating foes, depending on
how their knowledge aligns with your aims. Be
cautious, dear reader, for beneath their veneer of
intellectual superiority lies a world of hidden agendas
and secrets. Should you seek to learn from their
teachings, tread carefully, lest you become
entangled in a web of arcane complexities and
philosophical debates that may forever cloud your
mind!

Target: One creature
Components: Verbal
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
As you cast Inspiring Word, you tap into the power of
your words to provide encouragement and inspiration
to an ally in need. With a heartfelt expression and a
resonating tone, you speak words of motivation that
ignite a spark of determination within them. The
magical energy flows from you, reaching your
chosen ally within a range of 60 feet.
The recipient of your inspiring words becomes
infused with newfound confidence and focus. They
gain advantage on their next ability check or saving
throw, bolstered by the surge of inspiration coursing
through their veins. The spell empowers them to
overcome challenges and push past their limitations
in the face of adversity.
However, the exertion of channeling such potent
energy takes a toll on you. After casting Inspiring
Hexmaster
Word, you immediately suffer a level of exhaustion.
This exhaustion serves as a reminder of the strain
you endure to uplift others and the sacrifice you
make for the betterment of your comrades.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When casting Inspiring Word using a spell slot of 1st
level or higher, the duration of the spell increases by
1 minute for each level above 0. Additionally, you
can choose an additional ally within range for each

Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Guiding Light is a spell that taps into the power of
radiant energy to create a small orb that hovers near
an ally. As you utter the incantation and make
precise hand gestures, a radiant orb, about the size
of a clenched fist, materializes and gently floats near
the target.
Once cast, the orb emits a soft, warm light that
spreads out in a 10-foot radius, illuminating the area
with a comforting glow. This light is bright and
diffuses in all directions, making it easier for your ally
to see, granting them an advantage on their next
attack roll.
The orb's radiant energy is both a boon and a bane,
as its intense radiance makes it harder for your ally
to remain hidden. Consequently, any attempt they
make to move stealthily or perform a Stealth check
will be at a disadvantage, as the orb's illumination
draws attention.
While you maintain concentration on the spell, the
orb will continue to hover near your ally, following
their movements and providing its radiant light.
However, if the ally moves beyond the spell's range,
689
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
the orb will dissipate, and the spell's effect will end
prematurely.
Enhanced Effects:
When you cast Guiding Light using a spell slot of
higher level, the radius of the orb's light increases by
5 feet for each level above 0. Additionally, for every
two levels above 0, you can target one additional
willing creature within range to benefit from the
spell's effects. This allows you to create multiple
orbs, each granting advantage on attack rolls while
imposing disadvantage on Stealth checks for the
chosen targets.
Name: Shadow Whisper
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: 0
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: With a soft utterance and a subtle
gesture, you tap into the mysterious energies of the
shadow realm to cast the spell Shadow Whisper.
This enchantment allows you to whisper a secret
message to a chosen creature within 30 feet,
conveying information or issuing instructions. As you
speak, the words become imbued with magical
distortion, rendering them nearly incomprehensible to
anyone else who might hear.
The spell's effect relies on the intricate interplay
between the ethereal plane and the recipient's
consciousness. The target creature must make a
Wisdom saving throw to resist the spell's influence. If
successful, the whisper passes them by, leaving no
trace of its presence. However, if the target fails the
saving throw, their mind opens to receive the
message, deciphering its cryptic content.
As the caster, you must be cautious, for every time
you employ this spell, it exacts a toll on your own
memories. The mysterious energy that enables the
Shadow Whisper drains a portion of your own
recollections, adding a touch of bittersweet
melancholy to the enchantment. It is as if each
whisper carries away fragments of your past,
dissolving them into the shadows.
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When casting this spell using a spell slot of 1st level
or higher, the range increases by 30 feet for each
level above 0. Additionally, you can target one
additional creature for each slot level above 0.
If cast using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the
spell's duration becomes 1 hour, allowing the
recipient to mull over the cryptic message for an
extended period, gaining more insight from it.
At 5th level or higher, you no longer lose a portion of
your memories when casting this spell, as you have
learned to harness the shadow energies more
efficiently, preserving your own recollections while
imparting secrets to others.
Name: Enfeebling Gaze
School of Magic: Divination
Level: 1st-level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Enfeebling Gaze is a potent spell that taps into the
power of Divination magic. When casting this spell,
you fix your intense gaze upon a target within 60
feet, causing your eyes to shimmer with ethereal
energy. The target creature must make a Wisdom
saving throw or be affected by the enfeebling effects
of your gaze.
Upon a failed saving throw, the targeted creature is
immediately filled with a sense of weakness and
vulnerability. This imposes disadvantage on the
creature's next attack roll or saving throw, as its
confidence wanes under the weight of your
penetrating gaze. The aura of uncertainty and doubt
that surrounds the creature makes it more
susceptible to failure.
However, the casting of this spell comes at a price.
Drawing power from your own life force, you willingly
sacrifice a portion of your vitality to fuel the
enfeebling effect. As a consequence, after casting
Enfeebling Gaze, your maximum hit points are
temporarily reduced until you complete a long rest.
This sacrifice showcases the commitment and
690
Hexmaster
dedication of the spellcaster, willing to risk their own
well-being to gain an advantage in combat.
Enhanced Effects:
When casting Enfeebling Gaze using a spell slot of
2nd level or higher, the potency of the spell
increases. The target creature must now make the
initial Wisdom saving throw at a disadvantage,
increasing the chances of succumbing to the
enfeebling effects of your gaze. Additionally, for each
level above 1st, the temporary reduction in maximum
hit points suffered by the spellcaster is reduced by 5
points. This represents the caster's growing mastery
over the spell, allowing them to manipulate their life
force more effectively.
Name: Arcane Shield
School of Magic: Abjuration
Level: 1st level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Arcane Shield is a potent defensive spell that allows
you to create a shimmering protective barrier around
an ally. By harnessing the powers of abjuration, you
grant your chosen target temporary hit points,
bolstering their resilience. However, this protective
shield comes at a cost, as it draws upon your own
life force to maintain its strength.
Upon casting Arcane Shield, you touch a willing
creature and envelop them in a transparent, energy-
based shield. The target gains temporary hit points
equal to your spellcasting ability modifier,
representing the magical fortification provided by the
shield. The shield has a faint glow, and its
appearance can be customized based on the
caster's preferences, such as shimmering with
radiant energy or crackling with arcane electricity.
The shield remains in place as long as you maintain
concentration, up to a duration of 1 minute. While
concentrating on the spell, you must constantly
channel your own life force to sustain the protective
barrier. At the start of each of your turns, you lose hit
points equal to half the amount of temporary hit
points granted by the shield. This represents the
Hexmaster
draining effect the spell has on your own vitality. The
sacrifice of your life force reinforces the bond
between you and the protected ally.
It is important to note that if you are unable to
concentrate on the spell or are disrupted by external
factors, such as taking damage or being subjected to
certain spells or conditions, the shield dissipates, and
its temporary hit points are lost.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When casting Arcane Shield using a spell slot of 2nd
level or higher, the temporary hit points granted to
the target increase by an additional amount equal to
your spellcasting ability modifier for each slot level
above 1st. This enhanced version provides even
greater protection, but it also demands a higher toll
on your life force, causing you to lose additional hit
points at the start of each of your turns.
Name: Blinding Radiance
School of Magic: Evocation
Level: 1st-Level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: 15-foot radius centered on a point within
range
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Constitution saving throw
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Blinding Radiance is a dazzling spell that harnesses
the power of radiant light. With a swift incantation
and a gesture, you release a burst of blinding
radiance from your outstretched hand, illuminating a
15-foot radius centered on a point within 60 feet of
you. The brilliance of the light is so intense that it can
momentarily blind creatures caught in its area of
effect.
When casting Blinding Radiance, all creatures within
the radius must make a Constitution saving throw.
Those who fail the saving throw are overwhelmed by
the blinding light and become blinded until the end of
their next turn. The sheer brilliance of the radiance
impairs their vision, making it difficult for them to
discern their surroundings.
However, the intense light also affects your own
vision. After casting Blinding Radiance, your eyes
691
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
are momentarily dazzled by the brilliance, imposing
disadvantage on your next attack roll. This drawback
serves as a reminder of the power and sacrifice
required to wield such potent luminosity.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When casting Blinding Radiance using a spell slot of
2nd level or higher, the radius of the blinding light
increases by 5 feet for each slot level above 1st.
Additionally, the saving throw DC increases by 1 for
each slot level above 1st, making it more challenging
for creatures to resist the radiant assault.
Name: Resolute Will
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: 2
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description: With a commanding gesture and a
resolute utterance, you bolster the mental fortitude of
an ally, granting them advantage on saving throws
against charm and fear effects. The target becomes
filled with a sense of unwavering resolve, their mind
fortified against attempts to manipulate or intimidate
them.
However, casting this spell comes at a cost to your
own mental defenses. As you channel your energy
into empowering your ally, your own mind becomes
more vulnerable to external influences. Until the end
of your next turn, you have disadvantage on your
own saving throws against charm and fear effects.
By casting this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or
higher, you can target additional creatures within
range for each slot level above 2nd. The affected
creatures gain the same benefits and drawbacks as
the initial target. For example, if you cast Resolute
Will using a 3rd-level spell slot, you can target two
creatures, granting them advantage on saving throws
against charm and fear effects while suffering the
disadvantage on your own saving throws.
Name: Mind's Frenzy
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: 2
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Mind's Frenzy is a potent spell that taps into the
depths of psychic energy to overwhelm the mind of a
targeted creature. As you cast this spell, you focus
your mental prowess, channeling a surge of psychic
power toward your chosen target.
The target creature must make a Wisdom saving
throw. On a failed save, their mind becomes
engulfed in a chaotic frenzy, resulting in psychic
damage equal to your spellcasting ability modifier.
The sheer intensity of the psychic assault can leave
the target disoriented and vulnerable.
However, such a powerful psychic surge takes its toll
on the caster. After casting Mind's Frenzy, you
become disoriented and suffer a disadvantage on
your next concentration check, as the residual
energy lingers and disrupts your focus.
Enhanced Effects:
When casting Mind's Frenzy using a spell slot of 3rd
level or higher, the psychic damage inflicted upon the
target increases by an additional 1d6 for each slot
level above 2nd.
Name: Lingering Guidance
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 2
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Target: One willing creature
Components: Verbal, somatic, material (a small
crystal infused with magical energy)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Dexterity saving throw (disadvantage
on the target's next Dexterity saving throw)
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
As you weave the arcane threads of transmutation, a
surge of magical energy envelops you and your
chosen ally. You touch the ally's weapon, infusing it
with potent magical power, enhancing their next
attack and empowering them to strike with
692
Hexmaster
unmatched precision and force.
For the duration of the spell, the affected ally gains a
substantial bonus to both their attack roll and
damage roll on their next weapon strike. As their
weapon cleaves through the air, the enchantment
enhances their natural abilities, granting them an
advantage in overcoming their foes.
However, the infusion of intense magical energy
briefly weakens the defenses of the affected ally,
imposing disadvantage on their next Dexterity saving
throw. The surge of power momentarily distracts
them, making it more difficult to evade incoming
dangers. This drawback serves as a temporary
sacrifice in exchange for the enhanced offensive
capabilities bestowed upon them.
To cast the spell, you must have a small crystal
infused with magical energy, which is consumed in
the process. As you channel the spell's magic, the
crystal dissolves into a swirling mist that swirls
around the ally's weapon, imbuing it with a luminous
aura.
Enhanced Effects:
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd
level or higher, the bonus to the attack roll and
damage roll increases. Additionally, the
disadvantage imposed on the target's next Dexterity
saving throw becomes more potent, making it even
harder for them to evade hazardous effects.
Name: Empowering Surge
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Target: One willing creature
Components: Verbal, somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Empowering Surge is a potent spell of transmutation
that allows you to tap into the arcane energies
coursing through your veins and channel a surge of
empowering energy into an ally. As you cast the
spell, your fingertips crackle with raw power, and a
brilliant nimbus of glowing energy envelops your
target, suffusing them with newfound strength.
Hexmaster
When you touch a willing creature, you infuse them
with your own spellcasting ability, enhancing the
damage of their next spell or weapon attack. The
surge of energy resonates with their magical or
physical prowess, amplifying the potency of their
strike. The target gains the ability to add your
spellcasting ability modifier to the damage of their
next spell or weapon attack.
However, this act of empowerment comes at a cost.
As you siphon your own vitality to fuel the surge of
energy, you suffer a level of exhaustion. Your body
feels drained and fatigued, but you push through it,
knowing the power you have bestowed upon your
ally.
When you cast Empowering Surge using a spell slot
of 4th level or higher, the potency of the spell
intensifies. For each slot level above 3rd, the target
can add an additional modifier equal to your
spellcasting ability modifier to their next spell or
weapon attack, further bolstering their damage
potential.
Name: Conduit of Healing
School of Magic: Evocation
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (30-foot radius)
Target: All allies within a 30-foot radius
Components: Verbal, somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Conduit of Healing is a powerful spell that allows you
to become a conduit of restorative energy,
channeling healing power to all allies within a 30-foot
radius. As you cast the spell, a radiant aura
surrounds you, pulsating with vibrant hues of blue
and gold.
Once the spell takes effect, restorative energy
surges forth, enveloping all friendly creatures within
range. Each ally is healed for a number of hit points
determined by rolling 3d8 and adding your
spellcasting ability modifier. The energy flows
through their bodies, mending wounds, revitalizing
weary muscles, and restoring vitality.
However, the transfer of life force comes at a price.
693
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
As you act as the conduit for this immense healing
power, your own vitality is weakened. You lose hit
points equal to half the total hit points restored. The
strain on your own body is a testament to the
sacrifices made in the pursuit of healing and
restoration.
To cast Conduit of Healing, you must speak the
incantation with clarity and precision, allowing the
words to resonate with the fabric of magic. Your
gestures must match the intention of the spell,
guiding the healing energy towards your allies. The
components required are purely somatic and verbal,
requiring no material components.
The radiant aura remains in place only for the
duration of the spell, as the restorative energy
disperses and fades away. The spell's effects are
instantaneous, providing immediate relief to your
allies in times of dire need. The Conduit of Healing
spell cannot be resisted or evaded by magical
means, as its purpose is solely focused on restoring
health and well-being.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When Conduit of Healing is cast using a spell slot of
4th level or higher, the amount of healing increases.
For each level above 3rd, the spell restores an
additional 1d8 hit points to each ally within the
radius. This enhanced version of the spell reflects
your increased mastery over restorative energies,
enabling you to heal even more profound injuries and
bring your allies closer to the peak of their physical
well-being.
Name: Searing Retribution
School of Magic: Evocation
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (15-foot cone)
Target: All creatures in a 15-foot cone
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Dexterity half
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
As you channel your inner power, you tap into the
raw forces of fire and unleash a devastating wave of
searing energy known as Searing Retribution. With a
swift gesture and an incantation, a torrent of
scorching flames erupts from your outstretched
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
hands, engulfing everything in its path.
The spell creates a 15-foot cone originating from
your position, covering a wide area in front of you.
The inferno within the cone blazes with an intense
heat, searing everything it touches. All creatures
caught within the area of effect must make a
Dexterity saving throw to dodge the brunt of the
flames.
Those who fail to evade the fiery onslaught suffer
4d6 points of fire damage, their flesh blistering and
charring under the intense heat. The magnitude of
the blaze is augmented by your spellcasting ability
modifier, ensuring its potency increases as your own
magical prowess grows. However, the powerful
energy you unleash does not come without a price.
The inferno engulfs you as well, causing you to suffer
fire damage equal to half the total damage dealt.
This is a necessary sacrifice, a testament to your
resolve and the price you're willing to pay for
harnessing such formidable power. The flames lick at
your skin, scorching your flesh, but you stand
resolute, knowing that your enemies will bear the
brunt of your searing retribution.
The flames of Searing Retribution can be amplified
by casting the spell using a higher level spell slot.
For each level above 3rd, the damage dealt by the
spell increases by an additional 1d6 points of fire
damage.

situations. Through their mutations, they can alter
their physical attributes, enhance their senses, and
even manipulate their bodies to gain advantages in
non-combat situations.
Mechanics: When you reach 3rd level, you gain the
following features as part of your Mutant
Transformation:
Metabolic Enhancement: As an action, you can enter
a state of heightened metabolism, which grants you
temporary bonuses based on your chosen mutation
archetype. Choose one of the following
enhancements:
Adaptive Endurance: Your body becomes more
resilient, granting you advantage on Constitution
saving throws for the next minute. Additionally, you
gain temporary hit points equal to your Mutant level +
your Constitution modifier.
Hyper-Acuity: Your senses sharpen, allowing you to
see and hear with incredible precision. You gain
advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks and
advantage on Dexterity saving throws for the next
minute.
Regenerative Vitality: Your body undergoes
accelerated healing, allowing you to regain hit points
at a faster rate. At the start of your turn for the next
minute, you regain hit points equal to your Mutant
level.
Mutation Specialization: Additionally, as part of your
Mutant Transformation, you choose a mutation
specialization that represents a unique aspect of
your mutation. This specialization grants you a non-
combat ability that reflects your mutant nature.
Choose one of the following specializations:
Bio-Mimicry: You can mimic the appearance and
voice of any creature you have seen and heard
before. By spending 1 hour studying and observing a
creature, you can perfectly replicate its physical form
and sound for the next 24 hours. This ability allows
you to assume the appearance of a specific
706
Hexmaster
individual, aiding you in infiltrations or social
interactions.
Molecular Adaptation: Your body can temporarily
alter its composition to withstand extreme
environmental conditions. You gain resistance to a
specific type of damage (acid, cold, fire, lightning, or
poison) for a duration of 1 hour. You can change the
damage type by spending 10 minutes meditating and
focusing your mutation.
Telepathic Link: You develop a telepathic bond with
one willing creature within 30 feet of you. You can
communicate with the target telepathically, allowing
you to relay messages or thoughts silently. This
ability remains active until you choose a different
creature to establish a link with or if the target
willingly ends the connection.
Environmental Adaptation: You gain the ability to
breathe underwater and move seamlessly through
aquatic environments. Additionally, you gain
advantage on saving throws against poisons and
diseases. This adaptation allows you to explore
underwater locations or contaminated areas without
suffering from the associated hazards.
Phasing Manipulation: You gain the ability to briefly
shift out of phase with reality. Once per short rest,
you can cast the spell Misty Step without expending
a spell slot. When you do so, you become ethereal
for a moment, allowing you to pass through objects
and move unimpeded by physical barriers.
Note: Each specialization can only be chosen once,
and it represents a permanent aspect of your
mutation.

and abilities of other creatures they have observed.
Once per long rest, the Mutant can choose a
creature they have seen in the past 24 hours and
gain one of the creature's extraordinary abilities or
physical traits for 1 hour. This could include flight,
darkvision, a swim speed, or natural weapons. The
Mutant retains their own statistics but gains the
chosen ability. This ability can be a powerful tool for
exploration and problem-solving outside of combat
scenarios.
Ethereal Phase: The Mutant gains the ability to
momentarily shift partially into the ethereal plane,
allowing them to bypass obstacles and access hard-
to-reach areas. As an action, the Mutant can enter
707
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
an ethereal phase for 1 minute, during which they
can move through solid objects as if they were
difficult terrain. They cannot end their movement
inside a solid object or creature, and if they do, they
are shunted to the nearest unoccupied space and
take force damage equal to their level. This ability
can be used once per long rest.
Mutagenic Adaptation: The Mutant's mutations
become more versatile, allowing them to adapt to a
wider range of situations. The Mutant can now
expend Hit Dice to temporarily enhance their
physical attributes or gain resistance to certain
damage types. As a bonus action, the Mutant can
spend Hit Dice equal to or less than their Constitution
modifier to gain the following benefits:
Increase their movement speed by 10 feet for 1 hour.
Gain resistance to one damage type of their choice
(acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder) for 1 hour.
These effects stack with other temporary
enhancements, but they cannot be used while the
Mutant is under the effects of a similar feature or
ability. The Mutant can use this ability once per long
rest.
Rapid Regeneration: The Mutant's healing abilities
reach an exceptional level. Whenever the Mutant
spends hit dice during a short rest to regain hit
points, they regain an additional 1d8 hit points for
each hit die spent. Additionally, they can use their hit
dice to heal their allies during a short rest, expending
hit dice on their behalf. The Mutant must be in
physical contact with the target creature during the
short rest for this ability to work.

Hexmaster
Name: Runebinding
Level: 1st level
Description: Runebinding is the core ability of the
Phylactery Runesmith, granting them the power to
cast spells through runes and inscribe these mystical
symbols onto objects and surfaces. These runes can
be triggered by various conditions or actions,
providing the Runesmith with unique tactical
advantages and enhancing their spellcasting
versatility.
Usage: In combat, the Phylactery Runesmith can
inscribe runes onto their armor, weapons, or even
the battlefield itself, strategically placing them to
maximize their effects. They can also inscribe runes
on objects, turning them into magical traps or
enhancing their properties. Outside of combat,
Runebinding allows the Runesmith to solve puzzles,
create magical shortcuts, and manipulate their
environment with their inscribed runes.
Mechanics: The Phylactery Runesmith can inscribe
a number of runes equal to their Intelligence modifier
plus their proficiency bonus. They can inscribe these
runes as a ritual during a short rest or as part of their
spellcasting preparation. Each rune has a specific
trigger condition and an associated effect. The
trigger condition can be based on touch, movement,
proximity, or a specific action. When the trigger
condition is met, the rune activates, unleashing its
effect.
The range, duration, and damage dealt by the rune's
effect depend on the spell being cast. For example, if
the Phylactery Runesmith inscribes a "Flame Rune"
on their weapon and triggers it with a successful
melee attack, the rune activates and adds additional
fire damage to the attack. The amount of additional
fire damage is determined by the spell level used to
cast the triggering spell.
Limitations: Runebinding has a few limitations to
ensure balance and prevent abuse. The Phylactery
Runesmith can only have a maximum number of
active runes equal to their Intelligence modifier at
any given time. Additionally, the runes' effects cannot
stack with the same triggering condition. For
example, if the Phylactery Runesmith inscribes two
"Healing Runes" with a touch trigger, only one of
them can activate at a time.
Variants: As the Phylactery Runesmith gains levels
and expertise, they unlock more advanced and
711
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
potent rune triggers. These may include conditions
such as critical hits, successful saving throws, or
even specific events like the appearance of certain
creatures or the casting of particular spells.
Flavor: When a Phylactery Runesmith activates a
rune, the air around them shimmers with arcane
energy, and the symbol of the triggered rune glows
with a soft, pulsating light. The runes themselves
vary in design and style, reflecting the individual
aesthetics and preferences of the Runesmith. Each
rune carries an ancient, mystic symbolism that
resonates with the magical power flowing through the
Phylactery Runesmith's veins.
Examples:
1. In combat, a Phylactery Runesmith inscribes a
"Binding Rune" on the ground beneath an enemy.
The rune activates when the enemy steps on it,
causing magical chains to erupt from the rune and
restrain the target, imposing disadvantage on their
next attack.
2. During a rest, the Phylactery Runesmith inscribes
an "Alert Rune" on their armor. The rune triggers
when the Runesmith is approached by an unseen
creature, instantly granting them advantage on
initiative rolls against the creature.
3. In a dangerous dungeon, the Phylactery
Runesmith inscribes a "Lightning Rune" on a nearby
wall. They trigger it by striking the rune with a thrown
weapon. The rune activates, releasing a surge of
electrical energy that damages all enemies in a 10-
foot radius.
4. Exploring a trap-filled tomb, the Phylactery
Runesmith inscribes an "Evasion Rune" on a
pressure plate. When triggered, the rune grants the
Runesmith and their allies within range a bonus to
their Dexterity saving throws against the trap's
effects.
5. While investigating a mysterious artifact, the
Phylactery Runesmith inscribes a "Shielding Rune"
on their hand. When an enemy attempts to strike the
Runesmith with a melee attack, the rune activates,
creating an ethereal barrier that absorbs a portion of
the incoming damage.
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Name: Arcane Lore
Level: 1st level
Description: Arcane Lore represents the Phylactery
Runesmith's profound knowledge of the arcane arts,
granting them enhanced understanding and insight
into the magical forces that permeate the world.
Usage: Arcane Lore allows the Phylactery
Runesmith to unravel mysteries, decipher ancient
texts, identify magical properties, and analyze arcane
phenomena. It serves as the foundation for their
exceptional spellcasting abilities and their capacity to
manipulate and reshape spells through runebinding.
Mechanics: The Phylactery Runesmith gains
expertise in the Arcana skill, doubling their
proficiency bonus when making ability checks related
to Arcana. Additionally, they have advantage on all
Intelligence (Arcana) checks made to identify spells,
magic items, or other arcane phenomena. This
expertise extends to understanding the unique
properties of their own rune-inscribed phylacteries.
Limitations: The Phylactery Runesmith's expertise
in Arcana is limited to the realm of magic and arcane
knowledge. It does not confer any additional
proficiency in other skills or abilities outside of the
Arcana skill.
Variants: As the Phylactery Runesmith advances in
levels, their mastery of Arcane Lore deepens,
unlocking new abilities and insights related to
spellcasting and runebinding.
Flavor: Arcane Lore represents the Phylactery
Runesmith's tireless study and fascination with the
arcane. They spend countless hours poring over
ancient tomes, deciphering cryptic writings, and
experimenting with intricate symbols and magical
formulae. The Phylactery Runesmith's mind is a
wellspring of esoteric knowledge, and their
712
Hexmaster
understanding of the arcane is reflected in the
detailed craftsmanship of their runes and the
harmonious fusion of magic and technology in their
creations.
Examples:
1. In combat, a Phylactery Runesmith with Arcane
Lore can quickly identify an enemy spellcaster's
incantation, allowing them to anticipate the type of
spell being cast and prepare an appropriate
countermeasure.
2. Outside of combat, the Phylactery Runesmith can
analyze an ancient artifact covered in mysterious
runes, using their expertise to determine the origin,
purpose, and potential dangers associated with the
object.
3. During a magical investigation, the Phylactery
Runesmith's Arcane Lore enables them to discern
hidden magical auras, recognize complex magical
traps, and interpret enigmatic symbols or
inscriptions.
2nd level: Phylactery Sustenance
Name: Phylactery Sustenance
Level: 2nd level
Description: Phylactery Sustenance is a class
feature that allows the Phylactery Runesmith to
harness the latent life essence stored within their
phylactery to heal and fortify themselves.
Usage: Phylactery Sustenance can be utilized both
in combat and outside of combat, enabling the
Phylactery Runesmith to regain vitality and replenish
their resilience.
Mechanics: When activating Phylactery
Sustenance, the Phylactery Runesmith draws upon
the magical energies infused within their phylactery,
channeling them to mend their wounds and bolster
their physical and mental strength. As an action, the
Phylactery Runesmith can expend a hit die, rolling it
and adding their Constitution modifier to regain hit
points equal to the result plus their character level.
They can use this feature a number of times equal to
their Intelligence modifier (minimum of once), and
they regain all expended uses after completing a
long rest.
Limitations: The Phylactery Runesmith can only use
Phylactery Sustenance on themselves and cannot
utilize it to restore hit points to other creatures.
Additionally, they must have a phylactery present
and intact to access the life essence stored within it
for healing.
Variants: As the Phylactery Runesmith progresses
in levels, they may unlock additional features or
enhancements to Phylactery Sustenance, such as
Hexmaster
increasing the number of uses per day or gaining
additional benefits when activating it.
Flavor: When invoking Phylactery Sustenance, the
Phylactery Runesmith connects with the profound
symbiotic bond they share with their phylactery,
drawing upon the mystical energies contained within.
The runes inscribed on their phylactery glow with a
pulsating light, signifying the flow of life essence
being channeled into the Runesmith's body. This
infusion of energy revitalizes their physical form and
rejuvenates their spirit.
Examples: In the heat of battle, a Phylactery
Runesmith finds themselves severely injured.
Realizing their peril, they reach for their phylactery
hanging around their neck, focusing their thoughts on
activating Phylactery Sustenance. The runes etched
onto the phylactery flare up, emitting a warm and
vibrant aura. With a surge of arcane energy, the
Runesmith feels a soothing warmth spread
throughout their body, knitting their wounds and
reinvigorating their resolve. The Phylactery
Runesmith emerges from the healing, ready to
continue the fight with renewed vigor.
Outside of combat, the Phylactery Runesmith may
utilize Phylactery Sustenance to recover from a
taxing journey or to replenish their strength after an
arduous task. They sit in quiet contemplation,
meditating on the deep connection they share with
their phylactery. As they focus their thoughts and
attune their inner energies to the runes inscribed
upon the phylactery, a surge of healing magic
courses through their body, mending fatigue, and
restoring vitality. The Runesmith rises, feeling
refreshed and ready to face whatever challenges lie
ahead.
Name: Rune Infusion
Level: 2nd level
Description: Rune Infusion is a feature that allows
the Phylactery Runesmith to add an additional rune
when binding a spell with their Runebinding feature.
This modification enhances the effects of the spell
based on the specific Rune Infusion chosen. As the
Phylactery Runesmith grows in power, they gain
access to more potent and diverse Rune Infusions.
Usage: Rune Infusion is primarily used during
spellcasting, allowing the Phylactery Runesmith to
tailor their spells to better suit the situation at hand.
By selecting a specific Rune Infusion, the Runesmith
can add an extra layer of manipulation or
enhancement to their spell.
Mechanics: When using the Runebinding feature to
713
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
modify a spell, the Phylactery Runesmith can choose
to add a Rune Infusion. The effect of the Rune
Infusion depends on the specific rune chosen. Each
Rune Infusion has its own unique mechanics, which
can alter the spell's range, duration, damage, or add
additional effects.
For example, if the Phylactery Runesmith selects the
"Burning Ember" Rune Infusion while modifying a
fireball spell, it could increase the damage dice by
one step, such as from d6 to d8, and cause the
affected area to become difficult terrain for a certain
duration. Alternatively, choosing the "Enveloping
Shadows" Rune Infusion could reduce the spell's
range but grant advantage on saving throws against
it, as the shadows obscure the spell's effects and
make it harder to resist.
Limitations: The Phylactery Runesmith can only
apply one Rune Infusion per spell when using
Runebinding. The chosen Rune Infusion remains in
effect until the spell ends or is dispelled, and the
Runesmith can change the Rune Infusion during a
long rest or when they gain a level.
Variants: As the Phylactery Runesmith gains levels,
they unlock more powerful and versatile Rune
Infusions. These higher-level Rune Infusions can
provide greater control over spells, grant additional
effects, or amplify their existing abilities. Some Rune
Infusions may be exclusive to certain spell levels or
have prerequisites based on the Runesmith's
proficiency or class level.
Flavor: When utilizing Rune Infusion, the Phylactery
Runesmith channels their arcane craftsmanship and
intricate knowledge of runes into their spells. They
carefully etch the chosen Rune Infusion symbol onto
their phylactery, imbuing it with the essence of the
spell. As the magic flows through the rune, it melds
with the spell's energy, transforming it in accordance
with the rune's nature.
Each Rune Infusion has a distinct visual appearance,
accompanied by sensory cues that reflect its
essence. The "Burning Ember" Rune Infusion might
cause flames to dance across the Runesmith's
phylactery, casting flickering shadows in the
surrounding area. In contrast, the "Enveloping
Shadows" Rune Infusion might cause a dim veil of
darkness to wrap around the phylactery, shrouding it
and nearby objects in an eerie gloom.
Examples:
1. In a treacherous dungeon, the Phylactery
Runesmith prepares to cast a protective spell on
their allies as they approach a room filled with traps.
By using the "Guardian Ward" Rune Infusion, they
infuse their protective spell with the power of the
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes Hexmaster

"Warding Shield" rune. As a result, the spell not only

grants a bonus to AC but also provides advantage on
Dexterity saving throws against traps for its duration,
bolstering the party's chances of survival.
2. During a battle against a powerful sorcerer, the
Phylactery Runesmith aims to disrupt their
opponent's spellcasting. They select the "Arcane
Weave" Rune Infusion to modify their counterspell
spell. By doing so, they intricately intertwine their
spell with the "Spellbreaker" rune, granting the
counterspell an increased range and a heightened
chance to succeed against higher-level spells. The
Runesmith's spell seamlessly weaves through the
sorcerer's arcane energy, unraveling their incantation
and denying their magic.
3. In a dire situation where time is of the essence,
the Phylactery Runesmith needs to incapacitate a
group of enemies quickly. They employ the "Stunning
Glyph" Rune Infusion to enhance their lightning bolt
spell. With a swift gesture and the accompanying
surge of arcane power, the lightning bolt splits into
multiple charged tendrils that dance and zigzag
across the battlefield, striking each foe with the force
of a thunderclap and leaving them momentarily
stunned, giving the Runesmith's allies a tactical
advantage.

Name: Rune Mastery

Level: 3rd
Description: Rune Mastery is a pivotal moment in
the Phylactery Runesmith's journey, representing a
deepening understanding and control over the
intricate art of runecraft. This feature enhances the
Phylactery Runesmith's ability to inscribe and
manipulate runes on their phylacteries, granting them
new avenues for creativity and versatility in their
spellcasting. With Rune Mastery, the Phylactery
Runesmith gains access to advanced rune
techniques, enabling them to shape and modify their
spells with greater precision and finesse.
Mechanics:
Rune Selection: Upon reaching 3rd level, the
Phylactery Runesmith gains the ability to choose two
additional runes to inscribe on their phylacteries,
expanding their repertoire of available runes. The
chosen runes can be from any rune group, allowing
for a wider range of effects and strategic options.

Rune Augmentation: As a bonus action, the

Phylactery Runesmith can expend a spell slot to
augment a spell they cast with a chosen rune. This
augmentation modifies the spell's properties,

714
Hexmaster
granting it additional benefits, effects, or alterations
based on the selected rune. The spell slot expended
must be of a level equal to or higher than the spell
being augmented.
Rune Pool: The Phylactery Runesmith gains a Rune
Pool with a number of charges equal to their
Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1). These charges
replenish after finishing a long rest. The Rune Pool
can be used to fuel specific rune-related abilities,
allowing the Phylactery Runesmith to empower their
spells, extend their durations, or modify their effects
in unique ways.
Rune Metamorphosis: At 3rd level, the Phylactery
Runesmith gains the ability to alter the appearance
and nature of their phylacteries and the runes
inscribed upon them. This metamorphic quality
allows them to camouflage their phylactery as an
ordinary object or adapt it to suit different
environments, providing an advantage in certain
social or logistical situations. The Phylactery
Runesmith can spend 1 minute and expend 1 charge
from their Rune Pool to change the appearance and
function of their phylactery.
Rune Weaving: The Phylactery Runesmith's
advanced understanding of runes allows them to
weave multiple runes into a single spell, creating
intricate combinations and synergistic effects. At 3rd
level, when casting a spell that has been augmented
by a rune, the Phylactery Runesmith can expend an
additional spell slot to incorporate another rune into
the spell's effects. This potent combination results in
heightened spell power or additional magical effects
based on the chosen runes.
Rune Pool:
Rune Empowerment: Expending 1 charge from the
Rune Pool, the Phylactery Runesmith can infuse a
spell with additional raw magical energy. This
increases the damage or healing output of the spell
by a flat amount or enhances its effectiveness in
some other way.
Rune Extension: By spending 1 charge from the
Rune Pool, the Phylactery Runesmith can extend the
duration of a spell they cast. This allows beneficial
effects to persist longer, granting their allies a greater
advantage or providing additional time to manipulate
the battlefield.
Rune Shielding: With the expenditure of 1 charge
715
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
from the Rune Pool, the Phylactery Runesmith can
reinforce their spells with defensive runes, granting
temporary hit points or a bonus to saving throws for
affected targets.
Rune Distortion: By utilizing 1 charge from the Rune
Pool, the Phylactery Runesmith can distort the
magical energies within a spell, making it more
difficult for enemies to resist its effects. This ability
imposes a penalty to the saving throw DC of a spell
or grants disadvantage to creatures targeted by the
spell.
Rune Reversal: Expending 1 charge from the Rune
Pool, the Phylactery Runesmith can reverse the
elemental or magical nature of a spell, altering its
damage type or transforming its effects. For
example, a fireball spell could become an iceball
spell or a charm spell could induce fear instead.
Rune Amplification: By spending 1 charge from the
Rune Pool, the Phylactery Runesmith can amplify
the range or area of effect of a spell, allowing it to
affect a larger area or reach targets at a greater
distance.
Rune Manipulation: With the expenditure of 1 charge
from the Rune Pool, the Phylactery Runesmith can
manipulate the trajectory or path of a spell. This
ability allows them to change the direction of a spell's
movement, redirecting it towards a new target or
area.
Rune Dispersion: By utilizing 1 charge from the Rune
Pool, the Phylactery Runesmith can disperse the
energy of a spell, causing it to affect multiple targets
or areas simultaneously. This ability grants the spell
limited area-of-effect capabilities, hitting additional
targets within a specified range.
Rune Veil: Expending 1 charge from the Rune Pool,
the Phylactery Runesmith can shroud themselves or
their allies in a magical veil, granting advantage on
Stealth checks or providing temporary invisibility for 1
hour.
Rune Transference: With the expenditure of 1 charge
from the Rune Pool, the Phylactery Runesmith can
transfer a portion of their life essence into a spell,
sacrificing their own hit points to increase the spell's
potency. This ability enhances the spell's damage or
healing output, but at the cost of the Phylactery
Runesmith's well-being.

to overcome challenges, making them less effective
against creatures with strong mental defenses or
immunity to psychic attacks.
Organizations:

ancient sages, allowing her to tap into its wisdom
and unravel the secrets of the world.
Adventure Hooks:
1. The Forbidden Archive: A secret library hidden
deep within the ruins of an ancient city holds a
treasure trove of lost psionic knowledge. The Psion
characters are tasked with retrieving a specific tome
that contains a vital clue to an impending disaster.
2. The Mindflayer Menace: A powerful Mindflayer
Hive Mind has emerged, threatening to enslave
entire cities and consume their intellect. The Psions
must join forces to resist the invasion, using their
psychic powers to counter the Mindflayers' mental
dominance.
3. The Astral Nexus: An otherworldly portal to the
Astral Plane has opened, unleashing chaotic
energies and extradimensional creatures upon
Maxxia. The Psions are called upon to seal the portal
718
Hexmaster
and restore balance before the world is torn apart.
Variants:
1. Elemental Psion: In certain regions of Maxxia,
where the boundaries between planes are thin,
Psions can tap into elemental forces such as fire,
water, air, and earth. These Elemental Psions
possess unique abilities related to their chosen
element and have specialized disciplines tailored to
harnessing their elemental powers.
2. Shadowmind Psion: Shadowmind Psions have
delved deep into the realm of darkness and shadow,
mastering illusions, stealth, and manipulation. They
can tap into the Shadow Plane, blending seamlessly
into the darkness and using its energies to deceive

and mystical cultures, Psionic abilities are passed
down through generations. Ancestral Psions draw

harnessing the untapped powers of the mind. These
individuals delve into the deepest recesses of their
consciousness, brushing against the edges of sanity
to command the raw forces of psychic energy. The
Psion class grants players unparalleled control over
the battlefield, manipulating the minds of foes and
allies alike. Beware, however, for delving too deeply
into the secrets of the mind can come at a price, and
the line between reality and illusion can blur. The
Psion class offers a rich tapestry of possibilities,
inviting players to explore the limitless expanse of
the psyche in the ever-intriguing world of Maxxia.

and assistance to their allies remotely during critical
moments. Through telepathic communication, they
can relay information, offer tactical advice, or provide
insight based on their projected observations.
Psychic Scouting: The Psion can search for hidden
or concealed objects, secret passages, or valuable
Hexmaster
information by exploring locations using Psychic
Projection. They can sift through ancient tomes in
distant libraries, delve into the minds of captured
enemies for information, or even study the intricate
details of a distant artifact without the need for
physical proximity.
Vulnerability: While projecting their consciousness,
the Psion's physical body remains in a vulnerable
and unconscious state. It requires protection and
defense from allies to ensure their safety during this
mental exploration.
Name: Psionic Mastery
Level: 5th
Description: Psionic Mastery represents the
pinnacle of the Psion's mental prowess and their
ability to manipulate the world around them. Through
intense training and deep connection to the collective
unconsciousness, the Psion achieves an
unprecedented level of control over their psionic
powers, granting them mastery over their own mind
and the minds of others.
Mechanics:
Psychic Domination: Once per long rest, the Psion
can attempt to dominate the mind of a unwilling
creature within 60 feet. The target must make a
Wisdom saving throw (DC 8 + the Psion's
Intelligence modifier + the Psion's proficiency bonus)
or be charmed by the Psion for 1 hour. While
charmed, the target is completely under the Psion's
control, obeying their commands without question.
The Psion can issue mental commands to the
charmed creature telepathically, even if they don't
share a language. If the target takes any damage or
if the Psion uses an action to end the effect, the
charm is broken.
Psychic Resilience: The Psion gains immunity to
psychic damage.
Psionic Sight: The Psion's mind becomes attuned to
the psychic energies of the world. They gain
blindsight with a range of 30 feet, allowing them to
perceive the presence of creatures and objects even
when they are invisible or hidden.
Mental Barrier: The Psion's mastery over their own
mind allows them to shield themselves from mental
intrusions and psychic assaults. They gain
advantage on saving throws against being charmed
or frightened, and they have advantage on
Intelligence saving throws.
Telekinetic Manipulation: The Psion can
telekinetically manipulate objects within 30 feet of
themselves as a bonus action. They can lift, move, or
manipulate objects weighing up to 100 pounds. This
723
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
ability allows the Psion to perform tasks such as
opening doors, retrieving items from a distance, or
manipulating levers and switches. The Psion cannot
use this ability to deal damage or cause harm to
creatures directly.
Psychic Presence: The Psion's presence becomes
deeply rooted in the minds of others, radiating a
palpable aura of authority. Whenever the Psion
makes a Charisma-based ability check or saving
throw, they can add their Intelligence modifier as a
bonus.
Psychic Whispers: The Psion can telepathically
communicate with creatures they can see within 60
feet. This communication is one-way, allowing the
Psion to convey simple messages or feelings to the
target.
Master of Manipulation: The Psion gains proficiency
in the Deception and Sleight of Hand skills, reflecting
their ability to subtly manipulate and deceive others
through their mastery of the mind.
Psion Powers:
Name: Mind Bolt
School of Magic: Divination
Level: 0
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Mind Bolt is a spell that taps into the raw power of
psychic energy, allowing the caster to unleash a bolt
of pure mental force upon a target within range. With
a swift incantation and a gesture of the hand, the
spellcaster conjures a shimmering bolt of ethereal
energy that streaks through the air with uncanny
precision.
To cast Mind Bolt, the spellcaster must first make a
ranged spell attack, focusing their concentration on
the target. The arcane energies guided by the
caster's will surge forward, seeking a vulnerable
point in the target's mind. If the attack hits, the target
is enveloped in a momentary burst of psychic
energy.
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Upon a successful hit, the target of Mind Bolt suffers
the brunt of its mental onslaught, taking 1d8 psychic
damage. The searing pain of the attack inflicts a
piercing headache, leaving the victim momentarily
disoriented. The psychic damage inflicted by Mind
Bolt bypasses physical defenses, affecting the
target's mind directly.
As the caster gains experience and grows in power,
the potency of Mind Bolt can be enhanced by casting
it using higher-level spell slots. Each additional level
increases the damage by 1d8. For example, casting
Mind Bolt using a 2nd-level spell slot would deal 2d8
psychic damage, and so on.
Name: Mental Shield
School of Magic: Abjuration
Level: 0
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Mental Shield is a spell that allows you to fortify your
mind, granting you resistance to psychic damage
until the start of your next turn. As you utter the
incantation and perform the necessary gestures, a
shimmering aura envelops you, emanating a faint
glow in vibrant hues of blue and purple.
When this spell is cast, it creates a temporary barrier
of psychic energy that surrounds your
consciousness, forming a resilient shield against any
mental assaults. This shield helps to protect your
thoughts, memories, and emotions from external
manipulation, intrusion, or harm. It acts as a bulwark,
allowing you to resist the debilitating effects of
psychic powers and abilities that seek to assail your
mind.
Name: Telekinetic Grasp
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 0
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Target: One object weighing up to 10 pounds
Components: Verbal, somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
724
Hexmaster
Description:
Telekinetic Grasp taps into the latent powers of
transmutation, allowing you to harness your
telekinetic abilities and manipulate objects with ease.
With a mere thought and a gesture, you can exert
your will over an inanimate object within range, lifting
it and moving it through the air to a maximum
distance of 30 feet. The object must not exceed a
weight of 10 pounds, as your powers are finely
attuned to handle such lightweight objects.
To cast the spell, you utter the incantation that
resonates with the forces of transmutation, and you
perform the necessary hand motions, channeling
your concentration and focus into the task at hand.
As your mind connects with the object, a faint,
ethereal glow surrounds it, signifying your control.
The spell offers no direct harm or offensive
capabilities, but it provides immense utility. You can
employ Telekinetic Grasp to retrieve objects that are
out of reach, maneuver items to solve puzzles, or
simply showcase your mastery over the forces of
telekinesis. The spell's range allows you to perform
these feats from a safe distance, avoiding potential
dangers.
It is important to note that while you possess the
power to move the object, fine manipulation requires
precision and practice. Delicate tasks such as
picking locks or performing intricate surgeries would
exceed the scope of this spell. Additionally, the
spell's influence is limited to objects and cannot
affect creatures or sentient beings.
When casting Telekinetic Grasp using a spell slot of
higher level, you can increase the maximum weight
of the object you can manipulate by an additional 10
pounds for each level beyond 0. This allows you to
gradually expand your telekinetic prowess as you
grow in power, empowering you to handle heavier
items with ease.
Name: Mind Thrust
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: 1st-Level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Intelligence
Spell Resistance: No
Hexmaster
Description:
Mind Thrust is a powerful spell that allows you to tap
into the realm of psychic energy and inflict intense
mental agony upon a target of your choice. As you
cast the spell, you focus your thoughts and direct a
surge of raw psychic energy towards the mind of a
creature within range.
The target must make an Intelligence saving throw to
resist the invasive power of your psychic assault.
The sheer force of your mental intrusion can
overwhelm even the strongest minds. On a failed
save, the target experiences excruciating pain as
their consciousness is bombarded by waves of
psychic energy.
The failed save results in the target suffering 3d6
psychic damage. The pain is so intense that it
disrupts the target's mental focus, causing them to
have disadvantage on their next saving throw before
the end of their next turn. The psychic damage
inflicted by Mind Thrust is purely internal, leaving no
visible wounds or external signs of harm.
As you become more proficient in the use of this
spell, its potency increases. When you cast Mind
Thrust using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the
damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above
1st.
Name: Astral Projection
School of Magic: Divination
Level: 1st-Level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Astral Projection is a spell that allows the caster to
project their consciousness into the ethereal realm
known as the Astral Plane, while leaving their
physical body behind. By tapping into the cosmic
energies that connect all planes of existence, the
caster is able to detach their consciousness from
their corporeal form and embark on an otherworldly
journey.
725
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
To cast the Astral Projection spell, the caster begins
by focusing their mind, reciting ancient incantations,
and performing intricate hand gestures. As the spell
takes hold, a radiant aura envelops the caster,
signifying the separation of their consciousness from
their physical vessel.
Upon entering the Astral Plane, the caster finds
themselves in a realm of swirling, iridescent energies
and shimmering threads that represent the
connections between different planes of existence.
The caster's consciousness takes on a formless,
ethereal state, allowing them to navigate this plane
with ease.
While in the Astral Plane, the caster gains the ability
to observe events and gather information from
distant locations across the multiverse. They can
witness conversations, observe hidden secrets, and
gain knowledge that would otherwise be
inaccessible. This ability to gather information makes
Astral Projection a favored spell among scholars,
spies, and adventurers seeking to uncover hidden
truths.
However, it is important to note that while the
caster's consciousness roams the Astral Plane, their
physical body remains vulnerable and defenseless. It
is vital to ensure the body is protected or hidden from
harm before undertaking astral travel. Any harm that
befalls the physical body while the consciousness is
detached can have dire consequences, potentially
resulting in permanent damage or even death.
The duration of the Astral Projection spell is
dependent on the caster's concentration, allowing
them to explore the Astral Plane for up to one hour.
Should the caster's concentration waver or be
disrupted, their consciousness will snap back to their
physical body, ending the spell prematurely.
Enhanced Effects:
When casting Astral Projection using a spell slot of a
higher level, several enhancements can be achieved.
At higher levels, the spell's duration increases,
allowing the caster to remain in the Astral Plane for
an extended period. Additionally, the caster gains the
ability to bring along one willing creature of their
choice, allowing for shared exploration and
collaboration in the astral realm. The higher-level
version of Astral Projection also provides the caster
with additional protections for their physical body,
making it more resistant to harm while their
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
consciousness is astral-projected.
Name: Mental Barrier
School of Magic: Abjuration
Level: 1st level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
As you utter the ancient incantation and weave
intricate gestures in the air, a shimmering field of
energy envelops your body, forming a Mental Barrier.
This protective shield surrounds you, granting
resistance to all damage types until the start of your
next turn. The ethereal energies of the barrier act as
a bulwark against the harmful forces that may assail
you, mitigating their impact.
While the Mental Barrier provides formidable
defense, its power comes at a cost. The strain on
your mind from maintaining this shield leaves you
unable to cast spells until the start of your next turn.
The intense focus required to uphold the barrier
momentarily suppresses your ability to wield other
magical abilities.
The Mental Barrier taps into the fabric of reality itself,
harnessing the arcane essence that permeates the
universe. Its energy adapts to the specific type of
damage that seeks to harm you, allowing you to
resist the effects to a certain degree. Whether it's a
searing fireball, a chilling frost bolt, a slashing blade,
or any other source of damage, the Mental Barrier
lessens its impact upon your being.
The effects of the Mental Barrier can be enhanced by
casting it using a higher-level spell slot. At higher
levels, the shield's potency increases, providing even
greater resistance against damage. For each level
beyond 1st, the duration of the Mental Barrier
extends by an additional round. This allows you to
sustain the shield for a longer period, ensuring
continued protection during extended battles or
dangerous encounters.
Name: Psychic Domination
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: 2
726
Hexmaster
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Intelligence
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Psychic Domination is a spell that taps into the
depths of your mind to attempt to take control of
another creature's thoughts and actions. When you
cast this spell, you focus your mental energy on a
target creature within range, seeking to override their
will and bend them to your command.
The target must make an Intelligence saving throw to
resist your domination. If they fail the save, their
mind succumbs to your psychic influence, and you
gain control over their actions for the next round. The
affected creature becomes a puppet under your
command, compelled to carry out your desires. You
can make them perform any actions you choose
within the limitations of their capabilities.
However, harnessing such power comes at a cost.
The intense mental strain of manipulating another
being leaves you stunned until the start of your next
turn. During this time, your mind reels from the effort,
leaving you vulnerable and unable to act.
It's important to note that this spell cannot be used
against creatures that are immune to being charmed
or whose minds are too alien or incomprehensible for
your psychic influence to affect. Additionally,
creatures with exceptional mental fortitude, such as
powerful spellcasters or those with strong willpower,
might have advantage on the saving throw.
Enhanced Effects:
When casting Psychic Domination using a spell slot
of 3rd level or higher, you gain more control over the
target's mind and extend the duration of your
domination. For each level higher than 2nd, the
duration increases by 1 round. Additionally, if you
use a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the stunning
effect on yourself is reduced by half, allowing you to
recover faster from the mental strain of the spell.
Name: Clairvoyant Eye
School of Magic: Divination
Level: 2
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Hexmaster
Target: A point within range
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a small,
unblemished crystal ball)
Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw (disadvantage
while using the eye)
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
You tap into the ethereal realm, summoning an
invisible, floating eye at a designated location within
range. The eye hovers in mid-air, blending
seamlessly into its surroundings, granting you the
ability to perceive both sight and sound as if you
were physically present at that location. With this
spell, you gain extraordinary clairvoyance, enabling
you to witness events that unfold in the designated
area.
While using the clairvoyant eye, your own vision
becomes temporarily blinded, as your consciousness
is fully immersed in the perceptions of the eye. This
impairs your ability to react to dangers in your
immediate surroundings, and you suffer
disadvantage on all Wisdom saving throws.
However, your magical connection to the eye allows
you to maintain a sense of your body's location,
preventing you from becoming disoriented or lost.
The eye's observations provide you with a
comprehensive understanding of the designated
area. You perceive the scene in real-time, as if you
were standing there yourself. You can hear
conversations, detect minute details, and even read
text within the eye's field of view. However, your own
physical senses remain dormant during this time,
and you cannot interact with the environment
directly.
The clairvoyant eye can move within the designated
area, floating up to 30 feet in any direction, but it
cannot move beyond the boundaries of the area or
through solid objects. If the eye comes into contact
with a barrier or obstacle, it hovers in place until you
choose to move it again.
The spell's duration is limited to 10 minutes, after
which the clairvoyant eye dissipates, and your vision
returns to normal. If you choose to end the spell
before the duration expires, you can do so as a
bonus action. Additionally, if the eye is ever
destroyed or dispelled, the spell ends immediately.
Enhanced Effects:
727
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
When you cast Clairvoyant Eye using a spell slot of
3rd level or higher, the duration of the spell
increases. For each slot level above 2nd, the spell's
duration extends by an additional 10 minutes. This
allows you to maintain a longer watch over the
designated area, providing valuable insights into
ongoing events or enabling strategic planning from a
safe distance.
Name: Psychic Surge
School of Magic: Divination
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (20-foot radius)
Target: All creatures within a 20-foot radius of you
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Wisdom
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Psychic Surge is a potent spell that taps into the
depths of psionic energy, allowing you to unleash a
surge of raw power that affects all creatures within a
20-foot radius of your position. As you begin casting
the spell, the air around you crackles with psychic
energy, causing the surrounding space to distort and
shimmer.
Once the spell is cast, each affected creature must
make a Wisdom saving throw to resist the
overwhelming psionic force. The chaotic nature of
this surge of power disrupts their minds, rendering
them vulnerable to its effects. Those who fail to resist
the surge suffer the consequences.
A failed saving throw results in the target taking 4d8
psychic damage, as their consciousness is
bombarded with overwhelming sensations and
visions. The sheer intensity of this psychic assault
leaves them stunned until the end of their next turn.
During this time, they are unable to take actions or
move, lost in a disorienting mental haze.
However, channeling such immense psionic energy
takes a tremendous toll on the caster. After
unleashing the Psychic Surge, you find yourself
mentally exhausted, and the strain leaves you with
one level of exhaustion. This exhaustion manifests
as a profound weariness that affects your ability to
perform physical tasks, slowing your movements and
clouding your thoughts.
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes Hexmaster

Enhanced Spell Effects: collapse, leaving you vulnerable to psychic attacks

When you cast Psychic Surge using a spell slot of
4th level or higher, the damage inflicted by the spell
increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 3rd.
Additionally, the radius of the spell's effect increases
by 5 feet for each slot level above 3rd. The surge of
psychic energy becomes even more overwhelming,
making it harder for creatures to resist and causing
greater devastation within its range.

once again. However, as long as you maintain your
concentration, the shield remains intact for the
duration of the spell.
As you grow in power and unlock the true potential of
Mind Blank, you can enhance its effects by casting it
using a higher-level spell slot. When you cast Mind
Blank using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the
duration of the spell increases by 10 minutes for
each slot level above 3rd. This extended duration
allows you to benefit from the protection of your
psychic armor for an even longer period, fortifying
your mind against any attempts to breach its
defenses.

Description:
As you delve into the arcane arts, you discover the
powerful spell known as Mind Blank. This spell
allows you to shroud your mind in impenetrable
psychic armor, shielding you from the ravages of
mental assaults and psychic energies. With the
invocation of ancient incantations and intricate hand
gestures, you erect a barrier of mental fortitude
around yourself.

Upon casting Mind Blank, an ethereal aura envelops

your mind, forming an impenetrable defense against
psychic damage and effects. This shield is so potent
that it renders you completely immune to any psychic
damage that might be directed at you. Whether it is
the sinister probing of telepathic creatures, the
insidious illusions of enchanters, or the debilitating
mental attacks unleashed by psionic warriors, your
psychic armor remains unyielding.

However, the concentration required to maintain this

spell comes at a cost. While you are protected by
Mind Blank, you are unable to cast any other spells
or utilize any other magical abilities until the end of
your next turn. The focus required to maintain the
impenetrable shield demands your full attention,
leaving no room for further spellcasting or magical
manipulations.

To maintain the protection of Mind Blank, you must

keep your concentration steadfast. Any interruption
or loss of focus can cause the shield to waver and

delving too deeply into the mysteries of radiation can
have dire consequences. One must approach this
class with caution and respect for the delicate
balance of the universe.
1st level: Radiation Strike
Name: Radiation Strike
Level: 1st level
Description: The Radiation Strike feature allows the
Radiation Strike Master to infuse their weapon
strikes with radioactive energy, causing additional
damage and lingering effects on their foes.
Usage: This feature is typically used in combat
situations, allowing the Radiation Strike Master to
deal extra damage and potentially debilitate their
enemies.
Mechanics: When the Radiation Strike Master
makes a weapon attack, they can choose to expend
one use of this feature to infuse their strike with
radioactive energy. The target of the attack must
make a Constitution saving throw (DC 8 + proficiency
bonus + Dexterity modifier) or suffer an additional
1d6 radiation damage. Additionally, if the target fails
the saving throw, they become irradiated for 1
minute. While irradiated, the target takes 1d4
radiation damage at the start of each of their turns.
The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of
each of its turns, ending the radiation damage on a
success. The Radiation Strike Master can use this
feature a number of times equal to their Dexterity
modifier (minimum of once), and they regain all
expended uses after finishing a long rest.
Limitations: The Radiation Strike feature can only
be used when the Radiation Strike Master makes a
weapon attack. The number of uses is limited by the
Radiation Strike Master's Dexterity modifier.
Variants: As the Radiation Strike Master advances
in levels, the damage and duration of the radiation
effect can increase. For example, at higher levels,
the radiation damage could increase to 1d8 or even
2d6, and the duration of the radiation effect could be
extended to 1 hour.
Flavor: When the Radiation Strike Master activates
this feature, their weapon begins to emit a faint green
glow, pulsating with contained radiation. The strike
leaves a lingering trail of shimmering particles in its
wake, as if the very air itself is tainted by the cosmic
energies harnessed by the Radiation Strike Master.
Examples:
1. In a fierce battle against a band of marauding
mutants, the Radiation Strike Master plunges their
sword into an enemy's chest, activating their
Radiation Strike feature. The enemy fails their
Hexmaster
Constitution saving throw and takes the additional
radiation damage. As the enemy tries to fight back,
their movements become sluggish and weakened
due to the lingering radiation, giving the Radiation
Strike Master an advantage in subsequent attacks.
2. Outside of combat, the Radiation Strike Master
uses their Radiation Strike feature to irradiate a
patch of land, creating a hazardous zone that
dissuades potential pursuers from entering. The area
becomes filled with swirling particles of radiation,
making it difficult for others to traverse without risking
harm.
1st level: Radiation Sense
Name: Radiation Sense
Level: 1st level
Description: The Radiation Sense feature grants the
Radiation Strike Master an innate ability to detect
and understand the presence of radiation. Through
their heightened senses, they can perceive the
subtle emanations of cosmic energy and detect the
presence of radioactive substances, both natural and
artificial.
Usage: Radiation Sense is a passive ability that
allows the Radiation Strike Master to sense and
interact with radiation-related elements in the game
world. It provides them with valuable information and
potential advantages in various situations.
Mechanics: The Radiation Sense feature
encompasses the following mechanics:
1. Radiation Detection: The Radiation Strike Master
can detect the presence of radiation within a range of
60 feet. They have an intuitive understanding of the
intensity and type of radiation present, whether it be
harmful or benign, allowing them to assess potential
dangers or opportunities.
2. Radiation Analysis: By focusing their senses, the
Radiation Strike Master can analyze the properties of
radiation sources. They can determine the type of
radiation, its origin, and any potential effects or
hazards associated with it. This analysis provides
valuable insight into the nature of their surroundings
and any hidden dangers they may encounter.
3. Sense Radiation Fields: The Radiation Strike
Master can sense the boundaries and properties of
radiation fields and zones, allowing them to discern
the shape, size, and intensity of such areas. This
sensory ability enables them to strategize and
maneuver effectively in combat, avoiding hazardous
zones or exploiting their enemies' weaknesses.
Limitations: While Radiation Sense provides
valuable information, it does not grant immunity or
protection from radiation itself. The Radiation Strike
731
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Master must still take appropriate precautions and
protective measures when exposed to harmful levels
of radiation. Additionally, the range of detection is
limited to 60 feet, requiring the character to be within
close proximity to sense radiation-related elements.
Variants: As the Radiation Strike Master progresses
in levels, they can enhance their Radiation Sense
through additional class features and abilities. For
example, they might gain resistance or immunity to
radiation at higher levels, or acquire the ability to
manipulate and shape radiation fields for tactical
advantage.
Flavor: The Radiation Sense feature immerses the
Radiation Strike Master in a world where cosmic
energies and radiation play a significant role. It taps
into the class's overarching theme of harnessing and
manipulating radiation for combat prowess. The
character's senses become attuned to the hidden
vibrations of energy, allowing them to perceive the
unseen dangers and opportunities that others might
overlook.
Examples:
1. Exploration: While traversing a post-apocalyptic
wasteland, the Radiation Strike Master uses their
Radiation Sense to detect a hidden cache of
radioactive artifacts buried beneath the rubble,
leading to a valuable discovery.
2. Combat Strategy: In the heat of battle, the
Radiation Strike Master senses the presence of a
radiation field emanating from a foe's weapon. They
use this information to anticipate the enemy's
attacks, evading the strikes with uncanny precision
and turning the tide of the fight in their favor.
3. Hazard Avoidance: Venturing into a contaminated
laboratory, the Radiation Strike Master's Radiation
Sense warns them of an impending radiation leak.
They swiftly navigate the area, avoiding the
hazardous zones and ensuring the safety of their
allies.
4. Trapped in a dark underground facility, the
Radiation Strike Master uses their Radiation Sense
to detect a concealed door that leads to an escape
route. They discern the faint radiation leaking from
behind the door, revealing a hidden passage to
freedom.
Name: Radiant Strikes
Level: 2nd level
Description: Radiant Strikes empowers the
Radiation Strike Master's attacks with concentrated
radiation energy, infusing their strikes with additional
damage and debilitating effects.
Usage: Radiant Strikes is used in combat to
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
enhance the Radiation Strike Master's attacks,
allowing them to deal additional damage and impose
debilitating effects on their foes.
Mechanics: When a Radiation Strike Master with
Radiant Strikes hits a creature with a melee or
ranged weapon attack, they can choose to activate
this feature. The attack gains an additional 1d6
radiant damage, and the target must make a
Constitution saving throw against the Radiation
Strike Master's spell save DC. On a failed save, the
target suffers a lingering effect based on the type of
radiation used:
- Alpha Radiation: The target's movement speed is
halved until the start of the Radiation Strike Master's
next turn.
- Beta Radiation: The target has disadvantage on
attack rolls until the start of the Radiation Strike
Master's next turn.
- Gamma Radiation: The target takes 1d6 additional
radiant damage at the start of its next turn.
The additional damage increases to 2d6 at 6th level,
3d6 at 10th level, and 4d6 at 14th level.
Limitations: Radiant Strikes can only be used a
number of times equal to the Radiation Strike
Master's Dexterity modifier (minimum of 1) per long
rest. The Radiation Strike Master must have a
weapon in hand to benefit from this feature.
Variants: The Radiation Strike Master can choose
different types of radiation for their Radiant Strikes,
allowing them to adapt their approach based on the
situation and the vulnerabilities of their enemies. The
chosen type of radiation remains active until the
Radiation Strike Master uses this feature again or
completes a long rest.
Flavor: As the Radiation Strike Master channels
their energy into their weapon, a faint glow of radiant
radiation envelops the blade or muzzle. The air
around them shimmers with a vibrant and pulsating
energy, marking their connection to the cosmic
forces they have harnessed. With each strike, the
radiation emanating from the weapon seeps into the
target, leaving them weakened and struggling
against the lingering effects of the radiation.
Examples:
1. In a battle against a heavily armored opponent,
the Radiation Strike Master chooses Beta Radiation
for their Radiant Strikes. With a powerful swing of
their blade, they not only deal physical damage but
also weaken the enemy's attacks, making it easier
for their allies to land hits.
2. In a stealthy infiltration mission, the Radiation
Strike Master switches to Alpha Radiation for their
Radiant Strikes. As they strike their foes, the
732
Hexmaster
lingering radiation slows their movements, making it
harder for them to chase or escape.
3. During a large-scale battle, the Radiation Strike
Master unleashes a flurry of arrows infused with
Gamma Radiation. Their targets, struck by the
arrows, suffer additional radiant damage at the start
of their turns, causing chaos and panic among the
enemy ranks.
2nd level: Energy Resilience
Name: Cosmic Aegis
Level: 2nd level
Description: The Radiation Strike Master's
connection to the cosmic energies grants them
enhanced resistance against the harmful effects of
radiation and other energy-based attacks.
Usage: This feature is passive and provides ongoing
protection against energy-based damage.
Mechanics: The Radiation Strike Master gains
resistance to radiant damage and all forms of
energy-based damage, including fire, cold, lightning,
and acid. When they would normally take damage
from any of these sources, they only take half the
damage (rounded down).
Limitations: The feature does not provide resistance
against physical damage or other types of non-
energy-based damage.
Variants: None.
Flavor: As the Radiation Strike Master delves
deeper into the study of cosmic energies, they
develop a unique attunement to the very essence of
radiation. Their body becomes infused with a
shimmering aura that seems to dance with faint,
pulsating lights. This radiant energy serves as a
protective barrier, absorbing and dispersing the
harmful effects of radiation and other energy-based
attacks.
Examples:
1. In combat, when confronted with a group of
enemies armed with energy-based weapons, the
Radiation Strike Master can withstand their
onslaught with relative ease, shrugging off the
majority of the damage dealt.
2. When exploring a hazardous environment filled
with radiation, the Radiation Strike Master can
venture deeper into dangerous areas without
suffering the same dire consequences as their
companions, thanks to their enhanced resilience
against radiation poisoning.
3. While facing a dragon's fiery breath, the Radiation
Strike Master endures the scorching flames with
minimal harm, allowing them to stay focused on
delivering devastating strikes in return.
Hexmaster
Name: Radiation Field
Level: 3rd level
Description: The Radiation Field class feature
allows the Radiation Strike Master to create a
hazardous zone of radiation, manipulating the
battlefield and hindering their enemies.
Usage: The Radiation Field is typically used to
control the battlefield, create obstacles, and hinder
enemy movements.
Mechanics:
Range: 30-foot radius centered on the Radiation
Strike Master
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
- Area of Effect: The Radiation Field covers a circular
area with a 30-foot radius.
- Effect: When the Radiation Field is activated, a
zone of unstable radiation emanates from the
Radiation Strike Master. The area becomes difficult
terrain for creatures other than the Radiation Strike
Master. Additionally, any creature that starts its turn
or enters the Radiation Field must make a
Constitution saving throw against the Radiation
Strike Master's spell save DC or suffer the following
effects:
- On a failed save, the creature takes 2d8 radiation
damage and its movement speed is halved until the
start of its next turn.
- On a successful save, the creature takes half
damage and its movement is unaffected.
- Radiation Resistance: The Radiation Strike Master
is immune to the negative effects of their own
Radiation Field.
Limitations: The Radiation Field requires
concentration to maintain, limiting the Radiation
Strike Master's ability to concentrate on other spells
or effects. The Radiation Field also affects allies and
creatures indiscriminately, so careful positioning and
timing are crucial to minimize unintended
consequences.
Variants:
- Empowered Field: At higher levels, the Radiation
Strike Master can choose to empower the Radiation
Field, increasing the damage and effects. For
example, at 5th level, the damage increases to 3d8
radiation damage, and the movement speed
reduction lasts until the end of the creature's next
turn.
- Toxic Radiance: As an alternative version of the
Radiation Field, the Radiation Strike Master can
infuse the field with toxic radiation. Creatures
affected by the field must make a Constitution saving
throw against the Radiation Strike Master's spell
save DC or become poisoned until the start of their
733
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
next turn in addition to taking the regular radiation
damage.
Flavor: As the Radiation Strike Master activates the
Radiation Field, the air around them crackles with
invisible energy. Bright streaks of radioactive light
radiate from their body, casting an eerie glow across
the battlefield. The air becomes heavy with the
distinct metallic scent of ionized particles, and a low
hum fills the area, reminiscent of a malfunctioning
reactor. The ground beneath their enemies' feet
begins to ripple with shimmering waves of energy,
causing disorientation and trepidation.
Examples:
1. Battlefield Control: The Radiation Strike Master
activates the Radiation Field, creating a hazardous
zone between their allies and a group of approaching
enemies. The enemies cautiously navigate the
difficult terrain, slowing their advance and reducing
their overall effectiveness in combat.
2. Zone Denial: Sensing danger, the Radiation Strike
Master quickly activates the Radiation Field around a
vital objective, preventing enemies from reaching it
without suffering the consequences. The hazardous
zone becomes a deterrent, discouraging the enemy
from approaching or forcing them to find alternative
routes.
3. Tactical Retreat: In a dire situation, the Radiation
Strike Master activates the Radiation Field, hindering
pursuing enemies and gaining valuable time for
themselves and their allies to escape. The enemies,
struggling to move through the dangerous zone, are
effectively slowed down, allowing the Radiation
Strike Master and their companions to create
distance and regroup.
Name: Radiant Presence
Level: 3rd level
Description: Radiant Presence is a class feature
that allows the Radiation Strike Master to tap into the
cosmic radiation within them, radiating an aura of
power and energy that affects both their allies and
enemies. This feature enhances the Radiation Strike
Master's combat prowess and provides strategic
advantages on the battlefield.
Usage: Radiant Presence is typically used to bolster
the Radiation Strike Master's own abilities while also
influencing the actions of their allies and enemies. It
serves as a focal point for the Radiation Strike
Master's radiant energy, allowing them to project an
aura that can inspire, intimidate, or weaken those
around them.
Mechanics: When activating Radiant Presence, the
Radiation Strike Master emanates a radiant aura with
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
a radius of 10 feet centered on themselves. This
aura lasts for 1 minute or until the Radiation Strike
Master dismisses it as a bonus action. The aura
affects both allies and enemies within its range.
The specific effects of the Radiant Presence aura
depend on the Radiation Strike Master's chosen
mode, which can be changed once per long rest:
1. Inspiring Presence: Allies within the aura gain a
bonus to their attack rolls and saving throws equal to
the Radiation Strike Master's proficiency bonus.
2. Intimidating Presence: Enemies within the aura
have disadvantage on saving throws against the
Radiation Strike Master's radiation-based abilities
and effects.
3. Weakening Presence: Enemies within the aura
have their movement speed reduced by half, and
they have disadvantage on ability checks and attack
rolls.
Limitations: The Radiation Strike Master can
activate Radiant Presence a number of times equal
to their proficiency bonus per long rest. Additionally,
the Radiation Strike Master cannot have more than
one aura active at a time. Activating a different aura
while one is already active immediately ends the
previous aura's effects.
Variants: As the Radiation Strike Master gains levels
and becomes more experienced, they can unlock
additional variations of Radiant Presence. These
variants might provide different bonuses, effects, or
tactical advantages, allowing the Radiation Strike
Master to adapt to various combat scenarios.
Flavor: When the Radiation Strike Master activates
Radiant Presence, the air around them shimmers
with vibrant hues of cosmic radiation. Energy
particles dance and swirl, creating an otherworldly
spectacle within the aura's radius. The aura's
appearance changes based on the chosen mode,
with inspiring presence emanating a warm, golden
glow, intimidating presence crackling with unstable
energy, and weakening presence casting an eerie,
sickly greenish hue.
Examples:
1. Inspiring Presence: The Radiation Strike Master
activates Inspiring Presence, and their allies feel a
surge of confidence and determination. As they
charge into battle, the aura's golden glow surrounds
them, fueling their attacks and bolstering their
defenses. A weary ally, on the verge of collapsing,
finds renewed strength within the aura and strikes
down an enemy with a decisive blow.
2. Intimidating Presence: The Radiation Strike
Master employs Intimidating Presence, radiating an
aura of ominous energy. Enemies caught within the
734
Hexmaster
aura hesitate, their movements falter, and their
minds are clouded by fear. As the Radiation Strike
Master moves with purpose, their enemies find it
difficult to focus, their spells misfiring and their strikes
missing their mark.
3. Weakening Presence: With a subtle shift in focus,
the Radiation Strike Master activates Weakening
Presence. The aura takes on a sickly greenish hue,
causing enemies within its range to feel their limbs
grow heavy and their movements sluggish. The
enemy archers, usually swift and nimble, struggle to
draw their bows, while the approaching melee
fighters find their strikes lacking the usual strength
and precision.
Name: Extra Attack
Level: 4th level
Description: Cosmic Radiance is a manifestation of
the Radiation Strike Master's deep connection to the
cosmic energies they harness. It grants them the
ability to unleash an additional attack during their
turn, allowing them to strike their foes with even
greater ferocity and precision.
Usage: In combat, Cosmic Radiance is typically
used to deliver devastating blows to multiple
enemies or focus on a single target with a barrage of
strikes. It empowers the Radiation Strike Master to
further showcase their martial prowess and
overwhelms adversaries with the intensity of their
attacks.
Mechanics: When the Radiation Strike Master uses
the Attack action on their turn, they can make two
attacks instead of one. Each attack follows the
standard rules for making an attack roll, including
adding the appropriate modifiers, comparing it
against the target's Armor Class, and determining
damage based on the weapon used.
Limitations: The use of Cosmic Radiance is limited
by the Radiation Strike Master's action economy. It
requires the use of the Attack action, meaning it
cannot be combined with other actions that are
incompatible with it, such as using the Dash or
Disengage actions. Additionally, the feature cannot
be used when the Radiation Strike Master is
incapacitated or under any conditions that prevent
them from taking actions.
Variants: At higher levels, the Radiation Strike
Master gains access to enhancements that further
augment Cosmic Radiance. They can choose the
"Focused Assault" variant, allowing them to focus all
their attacks on a single target, gaining a bonus to
attack rolls and increasing the potential damage
inflicted.
Hexmaster
Flavor: As the Radiation Strike Master reaches the
pinnacle of their combat training, they are able to
channel the radiant energies within them with
remarkable efficiency. Cosmic Radiance manifests
as a brilliant glow that surrounds their body,
signifying the intensification of their connection to the
cosmic forces. Each additional attack they unleash is
accompanied by a vibrant burst of radiant energy,
leaving trails of shimmering light in their wake.
Examples:
1. In a fierce battle against a group of enemies, the
Radiation Strike Master activates Cosmic Radiance
and wields their martial weapon with unmatched
precision. They strike one foe with their first attack,
quickly following up with a second strike against a
different adversary, both attacks landing true.
2. During an ambush, the Radiation Strike Master
surprises their target with a rapid succession of
blows. They initiate combat with Cosmic Radiance,
delivering a flurry of strikes against the startled
opponent, overwhelming them with the sheer force
and speed of their attacks.
3. In a critical moment, the Radiation Strike Master
activates Cosmic Radiance to focus their attention on
a mighty enemy boss. With their additional attack,
they aim a precise strike at a vulnerable spot,
seeking to exploit a weakness and turn the tide of
battle in their favor.
Name: Energy Mastery
Level: 4th level
Description: Energy Mastery allows the Radiation
Strike Master to control and manipulate spells and
effects that emit energy.
Usage: Energy Mastery is primarily used in combat
to enhance the Radiation Strike Master's offensive
capabilities and strategic positioning on the
battlefield.
Mechanics:
- Spell Manipulation: At 4th level, the Radiation Strike
Master gains the ability to manipulate spells and
effects that emit energy. They can redirect the path
of energy-based spells or effects, altering their
trajectory to avoid allies or strike enemies with
precision. This manipulation requires an action or
reaction and can be done once per turn.
- Energy Bolt: As a bonus action, the Radiation Strike
Master can expend a spell slot to create a focused
bolt of radiant energy. The energy bolt deals 1d6
radiant damage per level of the expended spell slot.
The range of the energy bolt is 60 feet, and it
requires an attack roll to hit. On a hit, the target takes
damage and must make a Constitution saving throw
735
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
against a DC of 8 + the Radiation Strike Master's
proficiency bonus + their Dexterity modifier. On a
failed save, the target is also affected by the
radiation, suffering disadvantage on their next attack
roll or ability check before the end of their next turn.
Limitations:
- Spell Manipulation Limit: The Radiation Strike
Master can only manipulate spells and effects that
emit energy. Spells or effects that do not involve
energy manipulation cannot be affected by this
feature.
- Energy Bolt Limit: The Radiation Strike Master can
only create an energy bolt using this feature by
expending a spell slot. They must have at least one
spell slot of a level higher than 1st to use this ability.
Variants:
- Enhanced Energy Bolt: At higher levels, the
Radiation Strike Master can enhance the energy
bolt's damage by expending higher-level spell slots.
For each level higher than 1st, the damage increases
by an additional 1d6 radiant damage.
- Radiant Surge: As an action, the Radiation Strike
Master can release a surge of radiant energy around
themself, creating a 15-foot radius sphere of intense
radiation. Any creature within the sphere must make
a Dexterity saving throw against a DC of 8 + the
Radiation Strike Master's proficiency bonus + their
Constitution modifier. On a failed save, they take 3d6
radiant damage and suffer the effects of radiation,
granting them disadvantage on attack rolls and ability
checks until the end of their next turn. The Radiation
Strike Master can use this feature once, and it
recharges after a short or long rest.
Flavor:
As the Radiation Strike Master reaches the 4th level
of their training, their understanding of energy
manipulation deepens. They gain the ability to shape
and redirect the arcane energy that flows through
their body. By harnessing the latent radiation within
themselves, they become attuned to the intricate
nuances of energy-based spells and effects, giving
them unparalleled control over their destructive
potential. The Radiation Strike Master can weave
their way through the battlefield, bending the paths of
energy projectiles with swift and calculated
movements, while also unleashing their own focused
bolts of radiant power.
Examples:
1. Spell Manipulation: A powerful enemy mage
launches a barrage of energy missiles toward the
Radiation Strike Master's ally. Reacting quickly, the
Strike Master uses their Energy Mastery to alter the
course of one of the projectiles, redirecting it
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
harmlessly away from their comrade and into a
nearby wall.
2. Energy Bolt: The Strike Master finds themselves
facing a heavily armored foe, impervious to most
conventional weapons. They decide to unleash an
energy bolt by expending a 2nd-level spell slot,
hoping to bypass the target's defenses. With a
precise shot, the bolt strikes true, dealing 3d6 radiant
damage and leaving the
opponent vulnerable to follow-up attacks.
3. Radiant Surge: Surrounded by a group of
enemies, the Strike Master activates their Radiant
Surge ability. The intense surge of radiation
emanating from their body engulfs the enemies
within range, dealing 3d6 radiant damage and
leaving them weakened. Taking advantage of the
enemies' debilitated state, the Strike Master
maneuvers through the chaos, striking with
devastating precision while their foes struggle to
recover from the lingering effects of radiation.
Name: Nuclear Burst
Level: 5th level
Description: Nuclear Burst is a powerful and
devastating class feature that allows the Radiation
Strike Master to unleash a cataclysmic burst of
radiation energy, wreaking havoc upon their enemies
and leaving a lasting impact on the battlefield.
Usage: The Nuclear Burst feature is primarily used
in combat situations when the Radiation Strike
Master needs to turn the tide of battle or deal
massive damage to a group of adversaries. It can
also be utilized outside of combat to create strategic
environmental hazards or to make a powerful
statement, asserting the Radiation Strike Master's
dominance over their surroundings.
Mechanics: When activating Nuclear Burst, the
Radiation Strike Master channels their command
over radiation into a concentrated ball of destructive
energy, before releasing it in a massive burst. The
burst emanates from the Strike Master, affecting all
creatures within a 30-foot radius centered on
themselves. The burst deals 8d6 radiant damage
and 8d6 necrotic damage to all creatures caught
within its range. Affected creatures must make a
Dexterity saving throw against a DC of 8 + the
Radiation Strike Master's proficiency bonus + their
Constitution modifier. On a failed save, creatures
take full damage, while on a successful save, they
take half damage.
Limitations: The Nuclear Burst feature is a powerful
ability, but its immense energy requires a significant
amount of time and preparation to recharge. After
736
Hexmaster
using Nuclear Burst, the Radiation Strike Master
must take a long rest before they can utilize it again.
Additionally, the Radiation Strike Master must be
cautious when using this ability in close quarters, as
they are not immune to the effects of their own
Nuclear Burst.
Variants: As the Radiation Strike Master grows in
power and gains access to higher levels, they can
choose to augment their Nuclear Burst with
additional effects. These variations might include an
extended range, increased damage, or additional
debuffs, depending on the chosen subclass or the
character's personal progression.
Flavor: When the Radiation Strike Master triggers
their Nuclear Burst, a radiant aura envelops their
body, crackling with unstable energy. The air around
them becomes charged with intense heat and
pulsating waves of shimmering radiation. A brilliant
burst of multicolored light explodes from the Strike
Master's core, accompanied by a concussive
shockwave that reverberates through the area. The
aftermath is a scene of chaos, with the ground
scorched, flora withering, and the air heavy with the
acrid scent of ionized particles.
Examples: In the heat of a fierce battle, the Radiation
Strike Master finds themselves surrounded by a
swarm of adversaries. Feeling the pressure
mounting, they unleash their Nuclear Burst, engulfing
the entire area with a brilliant display of raw power.
The blast obliterates several weaker foes instantly
and leaves the remaining enemies severely
weakened, their bodies irradiated and their
movements sluggish. The Radiation Strike Master
takes advantage of the chaos, leaping through the
smoldering aftermath to deliver precise strikes,
finishing off their dazed opponents with ease.
Outside of combat, the Radiation Strike Master might
employ their Nuclear Burst in a more strategic
manner. For instance, they could unleash it upon a
fortified enemy encampment, causing widespread
devastation and rendering the area uninhabitable
due to lingering radiation. This act serves as a
warning to any who dare oppose them, leaving a
lasting reminder of the Strike Master's power and
ruthlessness.

Nightshade:
Shadow Veil: As an action, the Shadow can
magically blend into the shadows, becoming invisible

full movement speed while remaining invisible, but
any hostile action or casting a spell ends the
invisibility. Once used, this ability requires a long rest
to recharge.
Deceptive Shadows: The Shadow gains advantage
on Charisma (Deception) checks when attempting to
impersonate someone else. They also have
advantage on saving throws against being magically
compelled to speak the truth.
Umbral Assassin:
Assassinate: The Shadow gains the ability to strike
with deadly precision. When they have advantage on
an attack roll against a creature surprised, they score
a critical hit on a hit, and the target must make a

shadow created by a light source, magical darkness,
or other means.
When you use Shadow Step, you become briefly
invisible as the shadows engulf you, granting you
advantage on your next attack made before the end
of your turn. Additionally, any creature that attempts
to make an opportunity attack against you when you
teleport must make a Wisdom saving throw against
your spell save DC. On a failed save, the creature's
attack misses, and you can choose to either teleport
to a different shadow within range or remain in your
current position.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until
you finish a short or long rest.

weapon attack as part of that action. Furthermore,

against the Shadow during their turn have
disadvantage.

so precise and fluid that they gain a +2 bonus to their
745
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
AC until the end of their turn while performing the
Shadow Dance. This bonus represents their
enhanced ability to anticipate and avoid incoming
attacks as they gracefully weave through the
battlefield.
Shroud of Deception: The Shadows' mastery over
illusionary tactics becomes amplified during their
Shadow Dance. Whenever they hit a creature with a
weapon attack during this time, the target must make
a Wisdom saving throw against a DC of 8 + the
Shadow's proficiency bonus + their Dexterity
modifier. On a failed save, the target is momentarily
disoriented by the Shadows' illusory strikes, suffering
disadvantage on their next attack roll before the end
of their next turn.
Name: Death Strike
Level: 5th
Description: With years of training and a deep
understanding of anatomy, a Shadow can strike with
deadly precision, exploiting the vulnerabilities of their

Activation: As a bonus action on your turn, when you
have advantage on the attack roll against a creature
that is surprised, you can use your Death Strike
feature.

hit.
Instant Kill: If the target creature is surprised and the
attack hits, the creature must make a Constitution
saving throw. The DC for the saving throw is 8 + your
Dexterity modifier + your proficiency bonus. On a
failed save, the target takes damage equal to double
your total sneak attack damage dice (including any
modifiers) and is instantly killed. On a successful
save, the target takes normal damage from the
attack.
Note: A creature is surprised if they are unaware of
your presence and have not taken any actions in
combat yet. Typically, a creature becomes surprised
at the start of combat or when it is otherwise caught
off guard.

Spell List:
Cantrips:
Temporal Distortion: Manipulate time around a target
creature, causing its movements to slow down or
speed up for a brief moment. The target must
succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or have its
speed halved until the end of its next turn.
Time Slip: Temporarily phase out of time, allowing
the Temporal Bandit to move through objects and
obstacles for a short distance. This movement does
not provoke opportunity attacks.
Chrono Dart: Hurl a small dart infused with temporal
energy. On a hit, the target takes piercing damage,
and its speed is reduced by 10 feet until the start of
your next turn.
1st-Level Spells:
Time Stop: Freeze time momentarily within a small
area, rendering all creatures and objects within it
immobile. The area becomes a null zone for a
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
duration, causing no sound, movement, or magical
effects. However, the Temporal Bandit cannot take
any actions during this time.
Temporal Blade: Infuse a weapon with temporal
energy, causing it to slice through time itself. The
next successful weapon attack deals 1d4 additional
force damage and forces the target to make a
Constitution saving throw or be affected by the Slow
spell until the end of its next turn.
Echoing Shadows: Create illusory duplicates of
yourself that mimic your movements. This spell
grants you advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks
and imposes disadvantage on attack rolls against
you until the end of your next turn. However, you
suffer a level of exhaustion when the spell ends.
2nd-Level Spells:
Temporal Theft: Steal a brief moment from a target
creature, causing it to age rapidly. The target must
succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take
necrotic damage and have its movement speed
reduced for a duration. However, this spell drains the
Temporal Bandit's own life force, causing them to
suffer damage equal to half the damage dealt to the
target.
Chrono Blink: Instantly teleport a short distance,
leaving behind an illusory image of yourself. This
spell allows you to reposition yourself, avoid attacks,
or escape from dangerous situations. However, after
casting this spell, you are unable to cast spells or
use temporal abilities until the start of your next turn.
Temporal Foresight: Peer into the near future,
gaining insights that grant you advantage on attack
rolls, ability checks, and saving throws until the end
of your next turn. However, immediately after the
spell ends, you suffer a level of exhaustion from the
mental strain.
3rd-Level Spells:
Time Collapse: Unleash a concentrated burst of
temporal energy, causing a localized rupture in the
fabric of time. Creatures within the area must make a
Dexterity saving throw or take force damage and be
knocked prone. However, the rupture destabilizes
the area, causing random temporal anomalies that
affect everyone within it, including the Temporal
Bandit.
Temporal Siphon: Drain the temporal energies from
the immediate vicinity, restoring a portion of your
health and gaining temporary hit points. However,
this spell disrupts the temporal balance, causing a
surge of chaotic energy that affects everyone in the
748
Hexmaster
area, including allies.
Time Echo: Leave behind a residual echo of your
actions, creating an illusory copy of yourself. The
echo mimics your movements and actions for a
duration, allowing you to take an additional turn.
However, after the duration ends, you suffer a level
of exhaustion from the strain of manipulating time.
Name: Temporal Blink
Level: 1st
Description: Temporal Blink is a fundamental ability
of the Temporal Bandit, allowing them to
momentarily shift their existence out of the temporal
plane and reappear elsewhere. By harnessing the
residual temporal energies, they can traverse short
distances with unparalleled speed and precision.
This ability grants them a distinct advantage in both
exploration and evasion, as they can effortlessly
bypass obstacles and navigate treacherous terrain.
Mechanics: As an action, you can activate Temporal
Blink, allowing you to teleport up to 30 feet to an
unoccupied space that you can see. This ability
ignores any obstacles or difficult terrain in your path,
effortlessly bypassing them. However, you cannot
use Temporal Blink to move through solid objects or
barriers that completely block line of sight.
Once you use Temporal Blink, you must finish a
short or long rest before you can use it again. As you
gain levels in the Temporal Bandit class, the distance
you can teleport with Temporal Blink increases. At
6th level, the range extends to 60 feet, and at 11th
level, it extends to 90 feet.
In addition, starting at 3rd level, you can use
Temporal Blink as a bonus action instead of an
action, allowing you to teleport quickly and
seamlessly during combat or other time-sensitive
situations. This ability can be used once per short or
long rest.
Name: Timeless Reflexes
Level: 1st
Description: The Temporal Bandit's connection to
the temporal energies grants them unparalleled
reflexes and the ability to perceive time in slow
motion. They become capable of effortlessly evading
attacks and reacting with lightning speed.
Mechanics: When a hostile creature makes a melee
attack against the Temporal Bandit, they can use
their reaction to activate Timeless Reflexes. The
Hexmaster
Temporal Bandit gains a bonus to their AC equal to
their Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1) against
that attack. Additionally, the Temporal Bandit gains
advantage on Dexterity saving throws triggered by
spells or effects that require them to react quickly.
Once the Temporal Bandit uses Timeless Reflexes,
they cannot use it again until they finish a short or
long rest.
Name: Future's Insight
Level: 2nd
Description: The Temporal Bandit's connection to
the flow of time deepens, allowing them to tap into
glimpses of the future. Through this insight, they gain
the ability to foresee upcoming events and make
split-second decisions, enhancing their tactical
awareness and granting them an advantage in
various situations.
Mechanics:
The Temporal Bandit gains the following benefits:
Future Sight: Once per short rest, as an action, the
Temporal Bandit can focus their temporal energies to
gain glimpses of potential future outcomes. They can
choose a target creature or object within 60 feet and
make an Intelligence saving throw against a DC
determined by the DM. On a successful save, they
gain a temporary advantage in their next interaction
with the target, such as combat, negotiation, or
investigation. This advantage lasts for one minute.
Preemptive Action: The Temporal Bandit's intuition
allows them to react quickly to imminent danger.
Whenever they or an ally within 30 feet of them are
subjected to an effect that requires a saving throw,
the Temporal Bandit can use their reaction to grant
the affected creature advantage on the saving throw.
They must use this feature before the saving throw is
made.
Accelerated Thought: The Temporal Bandit's
enhanced perception of time enables them to
process information at an accelerated rate. They
gain proficiency in one Intelligence-based skill of
their choice if they don't already have it. Additionally,
they can add their Intelligence modifier to initiative
rolls.
Temporal Prediction: Through their attunement to the
tides of time, the Temporal Bandit gains the ability to
predict the outcome of events. Once per long rest,
they can spend 10 minutes meditating to glimpse into
the future and gain insight into a specific upcoming
situation or challenge. The DM provides hints, clues,
or suggestions about the best course of action,
potential dangers, or hidden opportunities related to
749
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
the chosen event. The information received is open
to interpretation and may not guarantee a specific
outcome, but it can aid the Temporal Bandit in
making informed decisions.
Name: Chrono Echo
Level: 3rd
Description: Chrono Echo is a powerful ability that
allows the Temporal Bandit to manipulate time in a
localized area, creating echoes of the past and
future. By tapping into the residual temporal
energies, the Temporal Bandit can bend the fabric of
reality, granting them the ability to influence events
and affect the timeline itself.
Mechanics:
Range: 60 feet
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Usage: Once per long rest
While Chrono Echo is active, the Temporal Bandit
can choose a point within range and create a
temporal distortion. This distortion manifests as a
shimmering, translucent field, indicating the altered
timeline. The Temporal Bandit can shape this
distortion to their advantage, altering the events that
occurred or are yet to happen in that area.
The effects of Chrono Echo depend on the Temporal
Bandit's intent and their desired outcome. They can
choose from the following options:
Echo of the Past: By delving into the echoes of the
past, the Temporal Bandit gains insights into
historical events and gains advantage on ability
checks, skill checks, or saving throws related to the
history of the location or individuals present in the
affected area. This ability allows them to gather
information, unravel mysteries, or understand the
secrets of a specific place.
Echo of the Future: Peering into potential futures, the
Temporal Bandit gains glimpses of upcoming events,
granting them advantage on ability checks, skill
checks, or saving throws related to predicting or
avoiding immediate danger within the affected area.
This ability allows them to anticipate traps,
ambushes, or treacherous situations, enabling them
to act with swiftness and precision.
Echo of Alteration: The Temporal Bandit can
manipulate events in the area, altering the outcome
of recent actions. They can choose to change the
outcome of a single skill check, ability check, or
saving throw made within the affected area, either for
themselves or a creature they can see. This
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
manipulation can turn a failure into a success or vice
versa, creating opportunities or preventing dire
consequences.
Name: Time Dilation
Level: 4th
Description: Time Dilation is a remarkable ability
that allows the Temporal Bandit to manipulate the
fabric of time, slowing it down within a specific area.
By creating a temporal pocket, the Temporal Bandit
can alter the flow of time for themselves and their
allies, granting them a significant advantage in
various situations.
Mechanics: When using Time Dilation, the Temporal
Bandit selects an area with a radius of 30 feet. Within
this area, time slows down, affecting all creatures
except the Temporal Bandit and their chosen allies.
The effect lasts for a duration of 1 minute, during
which the affected creatures benefit from the
following:
Temporal Acceleration: All affected creatures gain a
+2 bonus to their AC, Dexterity saving throws, and
attack rolls.
Precise Actions: Affected creatures can take one
additional bonus action on each of their turns.
Slow Motion: Affected creatures' movement speed is
doubled, allowing them to cover greater distances or
position themselves strategically.
Swift Reactions: Affected creatures gain advantage
on initiative rolls, allowing them to act quicker and
potentially gain the upper hand in combat.
It is important to note that the Temporal Bandit and
their allies must be within the area of effect at the
time the ability is activated. Leaving the area would
nullify the benefits of Time Dilation until they re-enter
it. Additionally, hostile creatures within the area of
effect are also affected by Time Dilation, making it a
potentially potent tactical tool in combat.
Name: Temporal Mastery
Level: 5th
Description: Through a profound understanding of
temporal energies, the Temporal Bandit is able to
weave the threads of time and space to their
advantage, manifesting in unparalleled abilities of
command, travel, and social interaction. This
750
Hexmaster
powerful mastery transcends the confines of combat,
permitting the Temporal Bandit to manipulate
moments to their favor in any given situation, be it
during a perilous adventure or amidst the banality of
everyday life.
Harnessing the residual temporal energies, the
Temporal Bandit can manipulate the very pace of
time around them. By dilating the temporal field, they
can make a long journey feel like a quick stride or
make a fleeting moment last an eternity. This is not
just a mere perception, as the Temporal Bandit's
mastery extends to affect reality itself.
Beyond this, the Temporal Bandit’s command over
time grants them exceptional ability in leadership and
logistics. Whether rallying their troops before an
important battle or coordinating a vast network of
spies, they can stretch moments, ensuring their
plans are flawlessly executed. Their instructions
resonate in a timeless echo, ensuring their
commands are never forgotten or misunderstood.
In the realm of social interaction, the Temporal
Bandit becomes an unrivaled diplomat and
negotiator. With the ability to glimpse potential
futures, they can intuit the best paths in a
conversation, knowing when to press, when to yield,
and when to charm. With their ability to stretch time,
they always have the perfect comeback, the most
persuasive argument, or the most beguiling tale to
tell.
Mechanics: As an action, the Temporal Bandit can
activate Temporal Mastery. For the next hour, they
can choose one of the following effects:
Temporal Voyage: The Bandit and up to 6 creatures
they can see within 30 feet reduce the time spent
traveling by half for up to 8 hours. During this time,
the party isn’t slowed by difficult terrain, and they
have advantage on saving throws against effects that
would slow their movement or stop them from
traveling (like a Hold Person spell).
Timeless Command: When communicating a plan or
issuing orders to an NPC or a group of NPCs, the
Temporal Bandit can impress upon them a sense of
timeless urgency. The targets must succeed on a
Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + the Bandit's
proficiency bonus + the Bandit's Intelligence
modifier) or follow the Bandit's instructions to the
best of their ability for the next 24 hours. The Bandit
Hexmaster
must take 10 minutes to use this feature in this way.
Flow of Conversation: The Temporal Bandit can slow
down time to perfectly time their words and actions
during a social interaction. For the next hour, they
gain advantage on all Charisma (Deception,
Persuasion, Performance) checks.
Temporal Bandit Spells
Name: Temporal Distortion
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 0-Level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Temporal Distortion is a fascinating spell that allows
the caster to manipulate time itself, creating a brief
moment of altered temporal flow around the target
creature. When you cast this spell, you point your
finger at a chosen creature within range, channeling
your arcane energy to disrupt the normal progression
of time.
The target must make a Wisdom saving throw to
resist the temporal effects. On a failed save, the
creature succumbs to the manipulation of time,
causing its movements to either slow down or speed
up, depending on the outcome. If the saving throw
fails, the creature's speed is halved until the end of
its next turn.
Imagine an agile enemy charging at your allies, their
movements fluid and precise. With a quick
incantation and a flick of your wrist, time around the
enemy distorts, causing their limbs to move
sluggishly as if trapped in thick honey. They struggle
to maintain their balance, stumbling as their attacks
lose their deadly precision.
However, if the creature succeeds on its Wisdom
saving throw, its mind resists the temporal
manipulation, and its movements remain unaffected.
Perhaps the target's willpower or inherent
understanding of the mystical arts allows it to shrug
off the spell's effects.
751
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
As you grow in power and gain access to higher-
level spell slots, Temporal Distortion becomes even
more potent. When casting this spell using a spell
slot of 1st level or higher, the duration of the slowed
speed effect increases by 1 round for each level
above 0.
Name: Time Slip
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 0
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: 1 round
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Time Slip is a remarkable spell that allows the
Temporal Bandit to briefly phase out of time,
enabling them to maneuver through objects and
obstacles effortlessly. When casting this spell, the
Temporal Bandit focuses their mind and body,
channeling the energy of temporal distortion. As they
do so, the fabric of time around them begins to ripple
and warp, creating a mesmerizing visual spectacle.
Once the spell takes effect, the Temporal Bandit
becomes intangible for a brief period, phasing
through solid matter as if it were insubstantial. They
can move through walls, doors, and other physical
barriers unhindered, defying the laws of physics. This
extraordinary ability grants the Temporal Bandit
incredible mobility, allowing them to reach areas that
would otherwise be inaccessible.
During the duration of the spell, which lasts for a
single round, the Temporal Bandit can move up to 30
feet through solid objects and obstacles. They can
freely choose their path, weaving through walls,
floors, and ceilings with ease. While in this phased
state, the Temporal Bandit is immune to opportunity
attacks, as their intangible form evades any attempts
to strike them.
It is important to note that the Temporal Bandit
cannot interact with objects or creatures while
phased. They cannot attack, cast spells, or
manipulate their environment in any way. Their
purpose is solely to bypass barriers and gain tactical
advantage in traversing the battlefield.
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When Time Slip is cast using a higher-level spell slot,
the duration of the spell increases. For each level
above 0, the Temporal Bandit gains an additional
round of phasing, allowing them to move through
objects for longer periods. This enhanced version of
the spell can prove invaluable in situations where
swift infiltration or evasion is necessary.
Name: Chrono Dart
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 1
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Chrono Dart is a spell that harnesses the power of
temporal energy to create a small dart that is
propelled towards a target with remarkable speed
and accuracy. The dart is imbued with the ability to
disrupt the target's temporal flow upon impact.
When you cast Chrono Dart, you utter the incantation
and make a throwing motion with your hand,
conjuring a dart made of shimmering temporal
energy. With a flick of your wrist, the dart shoots
forward, guided by your magical intent.
Upon hitting the target, the Chrono Dart inflicts
piercing damage, representing the physical impact of
the dart. The target then experiences a temporal
disturbance, causing its temporal flow to falter. As a
result, the target's speed is reduced by 10 feet until
the start of your next turn, as if the flow of time
around them slows down.
The Chrono Dart spell does not allow for a saving
throw, but it can be resisted by creatures with innate
spell resistance. Additionally, the spell cannot affect
creatures that are immune to temporal manipulation
or have special resistance against transmutation
magic.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When you cast Chrono Dart using a spell slot of 2nd
level or higher, the piercing damage inflicted by the
dart increases by 1d4 for each level above 1st.
Furthermore, the speed reduction inflicted on the
752
Hexmaster
target increases by 10 feet for each level above 1st.
For example, if cast using a 3rd-level spell slot, the
dart would deal additional 2d4 piercing damage and
reduce the target's speed by 20 feet.
Name: Temporal Bandit's Time Stop
School of Magic: Chronomancy
Level: 1st-Level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: 5-foot radius sphere centered on self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: 1 round
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Temporal Bandit's Time Stop is a spell mastered by
those who dabble in the forbidden arts of
chronomancy. When cast, the spellcaster harnesses
the swirling energies of time itself, momentarily
freezing the flow of time within a small area. As the
incantation resonates through the air, reality bends
and contorts, creating a temporal null zone.
Upon casting Temporal Bandit's Time Stop, time
within the designated area comes to a complete
standstill. All creatures and objects within the 5-foot
radius sphere become instantly immobile, suspended
in a frozen tableau. The null zone erases all sound,
movement, and even magical effects, rendering it an
eerie pocket of silence and stillness.
During this temporal stasis, the Temporal Bandit
himself or herself is also affected by the time freeze
and cannot take any actions. However, the spell
allows the caster to observe the immobile scene,
granting valuable moments of respite or an
opportunity to plan and strategize.
It is important to note that Temporal Bandit's Time
Stop does not alter the duration of ongoing effects or
the trajectory of projectiles already in motion. It
merely halts the progression of time within the
designated area. Once the spell's duration ends, time
snaps back into motion, and the creatures and
objects within the null zone continue their normal
course.
Casting Temporal Bandit's Time Stop at higher levels
increases its potency. When cast using a spell slot of
2nd level or higher, the radius of the null zone
expands by an additional 5 feet for each level above
1st. This allows the Temporal Bandit to freeze a
Hexmaster
larger area, providing even greater strategic
advantage and control over the flow of time.
Name: Temporal Blade
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 1st-Level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Target: One weapon
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Constitution
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Temporal Blade is a spell that taps into the fabric of
time, infusing a weapon with temporal energy. As
you cast the spell, you channel your magical
prowess into a chosen weapon, causing it to slice
through time itself. The weapon glows with a faint,
shimmering aura as it becomes imbued with the
temporal essence.
Once the weapon has been infused, the next
successful attack made with it carries additional force
damage, delivering a devastating blow to the target.
The additional damage dealt is equal to your
spellcasting ability modifier plus 1d6 force damage.
Furthermore, the target of the attack must make a
Constitution saving throw. If the saving throw fails,
the target is affected by the Slow spell until the end
of its next turn. The temporal energy disrupts the flow
of time around the target, causing their movements
to become sluggish and laborious. While under the
effects of Slow, the target's speed is halved, it takes
a -2 penalty to AC and Dexterity saving throws, and it
can't use reactions. On its turn, it can only take either
an action or a bonus action, but not both, and it can't
make more than one melee or ranged attack during
its turn.
The duration of the Temporal Blade spell is
concentration, up to 1 minute. During this time, you
must maintain your focus on the weapon, channeling
the temporal energy to keep it active. If your
concentration is broken, the spell ends prematurely.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
753
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd
level or higher, the additional force damage
increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 1st.
If you cast this spell using a 3rd-level or higher spell
slot, the Slow effect on the target lasts for an
additional round for each slot level above 2nd.
Name: Echoing Shadows
School of Magic: Illusion
Level: 1st-level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description: Echoing Shadows is a spell that taps
into the mystical essence of illusions and shadows,
allowing the caster to create deceptive duplicates of
themselves. When you cast this spell, your body
becomes surrounded by a swirling mist of ethereal
darkness. As the shadows wrap around you, they
take on your exact form and mimic your movements,
creating illusory copies that confuse and distract your
enemies.
While the spell is active, you gain several benefits.
Firstly, you have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth)
checks, as the illusions blend seamlessly with the
environment, making it difficult for others to perceive
your true location. Additionally, any creature
attempting to make an attack roll against you suffers
from disadvantage, as they struggle to discern which
of the duplicates is the real you.
However, the power of Echoing Shadows comes at a
cost. When the spell ends, whether by your choice,
by being dispelled, or by losing concentration, you
experience a wave of exhaustion as the illusory
energy drains your vitality. You gain a level of
exhaustion, representing the strain on your body and
mind from maintaining the spell.
Enhanced Effects: When casting Echoing Shadows
using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the duration
of the spell increases by 1 minute for each slot level
above 1st. Additionally, the number of illusory
duplicates created increases by one for each slot
level above 1st, providing even more confusion and
protection against your foes.
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Name: Temporal Theft
School of Magic: Necromancy
Level: 2
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Constitution
Spell Resistance: No
Description: Temporal Theft is a forbidden spell
mastered only by those daring enough to meddle
with the fabric of time itself. With a whispered
incantation and a swift motion of their hand, the
Temporal Bandit reaches into the temporal flow and
steals a fleeting moment from their target, causing
them to age rapidly.
The target creature must make a Constitution saving
throw. On a failed save, they suffer the
consequences of temporal theft. The target takes
3d8 necrotic damage and has their movement speed
reduced by half for the duration of the spell.
Additionally, the target's physical appearance
becomes weathered and wrinkled, reflecting the
accelerated aging process inflicted upon them.
However, the casting of Temporal Theft comes at a
great cost. The Temporal Bandit pays a hefty toll,
sacrificing their own life force in the process. The
Bandit suffers damage equal to half the damage
dealt to the target. This sacrifice serves as a
reminder of the delicate balance between
manipulating time and the consequences it entails.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd
level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for
each slot level above 2nd.
Name: Chrono Blink
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 2
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
754
Hexmaster
Description:
Chrono Blink is a spell that harnesses the power of
time and space to enable instantaneous
teleportation, granting you the ability to reposition
yourself swiftly in the midst of combat, elude attacks,
or escape from perilous situations. When you cast
this spell, you momentarily become a master of
temporal manipulation.
As you speak the incantation and perform intricate
gestures, a surge of energy envelops you, causing
your form to blur and distort. In a flash of dazzling
light, you disappear from your current location,
leaving behind a mesmerizing afterimage of yourself
that persists for a few moments. This illusory image
mirrors your appearance, actions, and movements,
making it difficult for enemies to discern which is the
real you.
Upon teleporting, you can choose a destination
within a short distance of your original position, up to
a maximum of 30 feet. You seamlessly transition
from one point to another, appearing at the chosen
location in an instant. This sudden relocation grants
you the advantage of surprise or strategic positioning
in the heat of battle.
However, the temporal strain caused by such rapid
movement leaves you momentarily unable to cast
spells or utilize temporal abilities until the start of
your next turn. Your connection to the weave of
magic and the flow of time needs a moment to
stabilize after the Chrono Blink.
Enhanced Effects:
When casting Chrono Blink using a spell slot of
higher level than 2nd, the range of teleportation
increases by an additional 10 feet for each level
above 2nd.
Name: Temporal Foresight
School of Magic: Divination
Level: 2
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: V, S
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Hexmaster
As you cast the Temporal Foresight spell, you tap
into the hidden currents of time, peering into the near
future. Your senses sharpen, and you gain fleeting
glimpses of events that have yet to unfold. This spell
grants you incredible insights, enhancing your
abilities and granting you an advantage on attack
rolls, ability checks, and saving throws until the end
of your next turn.
When the spell takes effect, your perception of time
expands, allowing you to anticipate your opponents'
actions and react with incredible precision. The
strands of fate align in your favor, guiding your every
move. Whether you swing a sword, cast a spell, or
attempt a delicate lock-picking maneuver, your
actions are imbued with an otherworldly grace.
However, the strain of peering into the future takes a
toll on your mind. Immediately after the spell ends,
you experience a sudden wave of exhaustion as the
temporal energies recede. This mental exhaustion
manifests as a level of physical exhaustion, leaving
you fatigued and drained. It is a small price to pay for
the immense power and foresight granted by this
spell.
Enhanced Effects:
When you cast Temporal Foresight using a spell slot
of 3rd level or higher, the duration of the spell
increases by an additional minute for each slot level
above 2nd. Additionally, the advantage granted by
the spell extends to your allies within 30 feet of you,
provided they remain within range.

Description:
With a flurry of arcane gestures and an incantation
that resonates with the echoes of time, you unleash
the power of Time Collapse. A localized rupture in

755
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
energy surges forth, distorting reality and causing
chaos within the affected area.
All creatures, including yourself and the Temporal
Bandit, within the radius must make a Dexterity
saving throw. Those who fail are caught in the
temporal disruption, suffering 4d6 force damage and
being knocked prone. Those who succeed take half
damage and remain standing, their agility allowing
them to resist the full brunt of the spell's effects.
However, the rupture in time creates random
temporal anomalies that permeate the area. These
anomalies affect everyone within the radius,
introducing unpredictable shifts in the flow of time.
These anomalies manifest as ephemeral echoes,
causing strange phenomena to occur.
One moment, gravity might momentarily increase,
causing creatures to feel heavier and struggle to
move. In the next moment, time might slow down,
causing movement and actions to become sluggish
and lethargic. And then, time might accelerate,
making everything appear to blur as if caught in a
fast-forwarded reel. These temporal anomalies occur
at random intervals, lasting for a few seconds before
shifting to a new effect.
The Temporal Bandit, a peculiar entity that dwells
within the folds of time, is also affected by the
rupture. This enigmatic being thrives on temporal
disturbances and is drawn to areas of temporal
instability. While within the affected radius, the
Temporal Bandit is invigorated, gaining enhanced
speed and agility. It moves at double its normal
speed, its strikes becoming a blur of motion that are
difficult to evade.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When Time Collapse is cast using a spell slot of 4th
level or higher, the force damage inflicted by the
spell increases by 2d6 for each slot level above 3rd.
Name: Temporal Siphon
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (30-foot radius)
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a small
hourglass)
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Constitution half
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Temporal Siphon is a powerful spell that allows the
caster to tap into the temporal energies of the
immediate vicinity, harnessing their essence to
restore their own health and gain temporary hit
points. However, this spell comes with a price, as it
disrupts the delicate balance of time, unleashing a
surge of chaotic energy that affects everyone within
a 30-foot radius, including allies.
When you cast Temporal Siphon, you focus your
magical energy on extracting temporal essence from
the air around you. The temporal energies flow into
your body, healing your wounds and rejuvenating
your spirit. You regain hit points equal to 3d8 + your
spellcasting ability modifier, and you gain temporary
hit points equal to half the amount of hit points
restored.
As the temporal energies flow through you, they
create a ripple in the fabric of time. This ripple
expands in a 30-foot radius centered on you, causing
a chaotic disruption to anyone caught within its
influence. All creatures within the area, including
your allies, must make a Constitution saving throw.
On a failed save, they suffer 2d6 force damage as
their bodies momentarily age or regress in time. On a
successful save, the damage is halved.
The surge of chaotic energy also has secondary
effects. All affected creatures have their movement
speed reduced by 10 feet for the next round as they
struggle to maintain their balance amidst the
temporal fluctuations. Additionally, any concentration
spells that were being maintained by affected
creatures must make a concentration saving throw,
with a DC equal to 10 or half the damage taken,
whichever is higher. On a failed save, their
concentration is broken, causing their spell to end
prematurely.
Enhanced Effects: When Temporal Siphon is cast
using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the amount of
healing and temporary hit points gained increases by
1d8 for each level above 3rd. Additionally, the
damage dealt by the chaotic surge increases by 1d6
for each level above 3rd.

Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Time Echo is a powerful spell that taps into the fabric
of time itself, allowing you to leave behind a residual
echo of your actions. As you cast the spell, you feel
the arcane energies coursing through your body,
resonating with the temporal forces around you. A
shimmering aura surrounds you, creating an illusory
copy of yourself that mimics your movements and
actions with uncanny precision.
While under the effect of Time Echo, you gain an
additional turn immediately after your regular turn
ends. This extra turn grants you the ability to move
and take actions as if it were your regular turn again.
You can use this additional turn to cast spells, attack
enemies, or perform any other actions available to
you. The illusory copy created by the spell is
indistinguishable from the real you, making it difficult
for others to discern which is the genuine version.
However, manipulating time in such a way takes a
toll on your body and mind. After the duration of the
spell ends, which lasts up to 1 minute as you
concentrate on maintaining the temporal
manipulation, you suffer a level of exhaustion. The
strain of bending the laws of time and space leaves
you physically and mentally drained, requiring rest
and recovery to regain your strength.
To cast Time Echo at a higher level, you can use a
spell slot of 4th level or higher. When cast using a
spell slot of 4th level, the duration of the spell
increases to 10 minutes. Each additional level above
4th increases the duration by an additional 10
minutes.

The Thought Police's spellcasting ability is Name: Mental Probe

Intelligence, and their spell save DC is calculated as
8 + Intelligence modifier + proficiency bonus. The
spell attack modifier is the same as the spell save
DC.
With this progression chart, the Thought Police can
gradually expand their repertoire of psionic spells,
becoming even more formidable in their ability to
manipulate minds, control emotions, and enforce
order in the world around them.
Spell List:
Cantrips:
Dancing Lights
Level: 1st level
Description: Mental Probe allows the Thought
Police to delve into the minds of others, extracting
valuable information and gaining insight into their
thoughts and memories.
Usage: The feature is primarily used outside of
combat to gather intelligence and uncover hidden
secrets. However, it can also be used strategically
during combat to gain a tactical advantage by
exploiting weaknesses or learning about enemy
plans.
Mechanics: The Mental Probe feature allows the
Thought Police to telepathically probe the mind of a
target within 30 feet. The target must make a
Wisdom saving throw against the Thought Police's
spell save DC to resist the mental intrusion. On a

759
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
failed save, the Thought Police gains access to
surface-level thoughts and recent memories of the
target for a duration of 1 minute. This information can
provide valuable clues, such as the target's
intentions, hidden agendas, or potential weaknesses.
Limitations: Mental Probe can only be used on
creatures that have an Intelligence score and
possess a mind capable of conscious thought.
Creatures that are immune to being charmed or that
have innate protection against telepathy can resist
the probe. Additionally, the Thought Police must
maintain concentration during the probing process
and cannot take any other actions.
Variants: At higher levels, the Mental Probe feature
can be enhanced to allow deeper and more
extensive probing, uncovering deeper secrets or
long-forgotten memories. This advanced version
could have an increased duration or the ability to
extract specific information from the target's mind.
Flavor: When using Mental Probe, the Thought
Police focuses their psionic energy and extends their
consciousness into the target's mind. They visualize
a metaphysical representation of the target's
thoughts and memories, like a swirling maze of
ethereal corridors and rooms. The atmosphere within
the mental realm may vary depending on the
emotions and memories of the target, ranging from
serene and tranquil to chaotic and foreboding.
Examples: In a diplomatic negotiation, the Thought
Police could use Mental Probe to gain insight into the
true intentions of the other party, allowing them to
respond more effectively and avoid potential traps. In
a dungeon exploration, the Thought Police might use
Mental Probe on a captured enemy to extract
information about hidden traps or secret passages.
During a battle, the Thought Police could use Mental
Probe to identify the weak points of an enemy,
allowing their allies to target those vulnerabilities with
greater precision.
1st level: Psionic Shield
Name: Psionic Shield
Level: 1st level
Description: The Psionic Shield feature allows the
Thought Police to create a protective barrier of
psychic energy around themselves, providing
defense against incoming attacks.
Usage: The Psionic Shield is primarily used in
combat to bolster the character's defenses and
withstand enemy assaults. It can also be employed
outside of combat to protect the character or others
from harm.
760
Hexmaster
Mechanics: As a bonus action, the Thought Police
can activate their Psionic Shield, creating a
shimmering field of energy that surrounds them. The
shield provides temporary hit points equal to their
Intelligence modifier + their class level. These
temporary hit points are lost first and are replenished
each time the character activates the Psionic Shield.
The shield remains active until the character
dismisses it as a bonus action or until it is depleted.
Limitations: The Psionic Shield has limited uses
and can only be activated a number of times equal to
the character's Intelligence modifier per long rest.
Additionally, the shield can only be activated if the
character is not wearing heavy armor.
Variants: As the Thought Police gains levels, they
can unlock enhancements to the Psionic Shield.
These enhancements may grant additional
temporary hit points, increase the activation limit, or
introduce new defensive effects.
Flavor: When the Thought Police activates the
Psionic Shield, a surge of psychic energy emanates
from their mind, enveloping their body in a
translucent field. The shield's appearance can vary
depending on the character's individual psionic
signature. It might manifest as a swirling vortex of
colors, a crackling field of electricity, or an ethereal
projection of their deepest thoughts and memories.
Examples:
1. In the heat of battle, as enemies close in on the
Thought Police, they activate their Psionic Shield, the
air around them crackling with energy. The shield
absorbs the initial onslaught, protecting the character
from harm and granting them the confidence to press
forward.
2. Outside of combat, the Thought Police can
activate their Psionic Shield to shield innocent
bystanders from harm. They use their bonus action
to summon the protective barrier, positioning
themselves between the threat and the people they
wish to protect.
3. During a tense negotiation, the Thought Police
senses potential danger. They discreetly activate
their Psionic Shield, ensuring they have an added
layer of protection in case the situation escalates.
The shield's presence goes unnoticed, but it provides
the character with a sense of security, allowing them
to focus on the task at hand.
Name: Fearful Presence
Level: 2nd level
Description: Fearful Presence is a class feature that
allows the Thought Police to emanate an aura of
dread and instill fear in their enemies, weakening
Hexmaster
their resolve and rendering them vulnerable to
mental manipulation.
Usage: Fearful Presence is typically used to create
psychological disruption on the battlefield by sowing
fear and doubt among enemies. It can also be
utilized outside of combat to intimidate and extract
information from individuals who are susceptible to
fear.
Mechanics: When activating Fearful Presence, the
Thought Police emanates an aura of palpable dread
with a radius of 30 feet. Any hostile creature within
this radius must make a Wisdom saving throw
against the Thought Police's spell save DC or
become frightened for 1 minute. A frightened
creature's speed is reduced to 0, and it can't willingly
move closer to the Thought Police. Additionally, the
creature has disadvantage on ability checks and
attack rolls while within the aura.
Limitations: Fearful Presence can be used once per
short or long rest, requiring the Thought Police to
channel their psionic energy to evoke terror. The
frightened condition caused by Fearful Presence can
be ended if the creature succeeds on a saving throw
at the end of each of its turns or if it takes any
damage.
Variants: As the Thought Police progresses in level,
they can enhance Fearful Presence by unlocking
additional effects or extending its range and duration
through further class features or spells.
Flavor: When activating Fearful Presence, the
Thought Police's eyes flash with a pulsating, ethereal
glow, and an ominous aura envelopes their form.
The air becomes heavy with an intangible
malevolence, causing a shiver to run down the
spines of those caught in its wake. Whispers of doubt
and suppressed fears echo within the minds of
affected creatures, clouding their judgment and
sapping their courage.
Examples: In the heat of battle, the Thought Police
activates Fearful Presence, causing enemies within
range to cower in fear. As the enemies' movements
become paralyzed, the Thought Police takes
advantage of the situation, expertly manipulating
their minds or incapacitating them further. Outside of
combat, the Thought Police might employ Fearful
Presence during an interrogation, instilling a deep
sense of dread in a prisoner, making them more
likely to divulge critical information or confess to their
crimes. Additionally, the Thought Police could use
Fearful Presence as a means of psychological
warfare, subtly influencing the emotions and actions
of crowds or gatherings to maintain order and
suppress dissent.
761
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Name: Mental Domination
Level: 3rd level
Description: Mental Domination is a potent class
feature that allows the Thought Police to assert their
dominance over the minds of others, bending their
will to their own. With this ability, they can seize
control of a target's actions, compelling them to obey
their commands and act against their own interests.
Usage: In combat, Mental Domination is a strategic
tool used to neutralize threats by turning enemies
against each other or forcing them to act in a way
that benefits the Thought Police and their allies.
Outside of combat, it can be employed to manipulate
individuals or extract information by temporarily
overriding their free will.
Mechanics:
Range: 60 feet
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
- Saving Throw: Wisdom saving throw (DC 8 +
Intelligence modifier + proficiency bonus)
- Targets: One creature of the Thought Police's
choice within range
When using Mental Domination, the Thought Police
chooses a target and attempts to exert their mental
control. The target must make a Wisdom saving
throw to resist the effect. On a failed save, the target
becomes dominated by the Thought Police for the
duration of the effect or until the concentration is
broken.
While dominated, the target must obey the Thought
Police's verbal commands to the best of their ability.
The commands can be simple, such as "Attack your
ally" or "Drop your weapon," or more complex, like
"Reveal the location of your hideout." The target will
act in a way that aligns with the command given,
even if it goes against their own instincts or well-
being.
Limitations:
- The target must be within 60 feet of the Thought
Police.
- Concentration is required to maintain the
domination, limiting the use of other concentration-
based abilities or spells simultaneously.
- The target is allowed another Wisdom saving throw
at the end of each of their turns, ending the
domination on a successful save.
- Creatures immune to being charmed are unaffected
by Mental Domination.
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Variants:
- Advanced Domination: At higher levels, the
Thought Police can choose to use more powerful or
complex commands, increasing the versatility of their
control. This enhancement allows them to issue
multiple commands within a single domination, giving
them a broader range of options to manipulate the
target's actions.
Flavor: When the Thought Police activates Mental
Domination, a visible ripple of ethereal energy
emanates from their eyes, intertwining with wisps of
psychic energy that surround the target's head. The
target's eyes briefly flicker with a faint glowing hue,
symbolizing their relinquished autonomy. This
display serves as a warning to others, showcasing
the Thought Police's mastery over the realm of the
mind.
Examples:
- In a heated battle, the Thought Police could
dominate a powerful enemy, commanding them to
attack their own allies. The controlled enemy, unable
to resist, turns their weapon against their comrades,
sowing chaos and confusion within the enemy ranks.
- During an interrogation, the Thought Police could
dominate a captured spy, compelling them to spill
their secrets. The spy, their will overridden, divulges
classified information that could unravel an entire
covert network.
- In a diplomatic negotiation, the Thought Police
could dominate a hostile negotiator, forcing them to
sign a favorable treaty against their will. The
dominated individual, incapable of resisting, signs
the document, sealing their own defeat while
believing it to be a victory.
Name: Mental Fortitude
Level: 4th level
Description: Mental Fortitude is a class feature that
enhances the Thought Police's ability to resist and
withstand mental attacks and manipulations. It
bolsters their mental resilience, allowing them to
maintain control over their own thoughts and
emotions even in the face of psychic assaults from
enemies.
Usage: Mental Fortitude is primarily used to defend
against psychic-based attacks and manipulations,
both in combat and non-combat situations. It helps
the Thought Police maintain clarity of mind and
prevents their mental state from being easily
influenced or controlled by hostile forces.
762
Hexmaster
Mechanics: Upon reaching 4th level, the Thought
Police gains the following benefits:
- Advantage on saving throws against spells and
effects that deal psychic damage or have a direct
mental influence.
- Resistance to psychic damage.
- Advantage on ability checks to resist being
charmed, frightened, or mentally dominated.
Limitations: Mental Fortitude is a passive ability that
remains in effect at all times. However, it does not
grant immunity to psychic-based attacks or
manipulations. It merely enhances the Thought
Police's resistance and provides them with an
improved chance of resisting and overcoming such
effects.
Variants: As the Thought Police gains more
experience and becomes more attuned to their
mental fortitude, they can unlock additional variants
of this feature at higher levels. These variants may
grant further resistance to specific types of mental
attacks or offer unique benefits, reflecting the
character's growing mastery over their own mind.
Flavor: When the Thought Police reaches 4th level,
they undergo intense mental training to fortify their
minds against external influences. They learn to
erect mental barriers and strengthen their mental
resilience through rigorous exercises and meditation.
This process involves delving into their own
subconscious, confronting their fears, and mastering
their emotions. The Thought Police emerge from this
training with an ironclad will and an unwavering
determination to protect their thoughts and maintain
control over their mental faculties.
Examples:
1. In combat, a powerful psychic enemy attempts to
induce fear in the Thought Police with a mind-altering
spell. Thanks to their Mental Fortitude, the Thought
Police rolls their saving throw with advantage,
successfully resisting the effect and maintaining their
resolve.
2. While interrogating a captured spy, the Thought
Police uses their Mental Fortitude to resist the spy's
telepathic attempts to infiltrate their mind. Their
heightened resistance allows them to maintain a
clear and focused mental state, preventing the spy
from extracting any valuable information.
3. In a negotiation with a hostile diplomat skilled in
mental manipulation, the Thought Police relies on
Hexmaster Chapter 5 Advanced Classes

their Mental Fortitude to resist the diplomat's
attempts to sway their judgment and influence their
decisions. Their heightened mental resilience
ensures that they remain steadfast and unaffected by
the diplomat's persuasive tactics.
Name: Psychic Domination
Level: 5th level
Description: Psychic Domination is the pinnacle of
the Thought Police's mental manipulation abilities. At
this level, the Thought Police can permanently
dominate the mind of a creature, bending it to their
will and turning it into a loyal servant.
Usage: Psychic Domination is typically used in
critical situations where the Thought Police needs to
gain complete control over a powerful enemy or
extract vital information. It can also be employed to
create strategic advantages, such as turning the tide
of a battle by converting an enemy combatant into an
ally.
Mechanics: To use Psychic Domination, the
Thought Police must first make physical contact with
the target creature. They then initiate a mental
assault, delving deep into the target's mind and
overpowering their will. The target must make a
Wisdom saving throw against the Thought Police's
spell save DC. If the target fails, their mind is
dominated by the Thought Police.
experience and refine their abilities. These variations
could include temporary domination, allowing the
Thought Police to control a target for a limited
duration before their will reasserts itself. Another
variant could involve the ability to dominate multiple
creatures simultaneously, though it would require
exceptional skill and concentration.
Flavor: As the Thought Police activates Psychic
Domination, a surge of psychic energy emanates
from them, enveloping their hand with an ethereal
glow. Upon physical contact with the target, the
energy spreads across their body like intricate,
glowing circuitry, symbolizing the Thought Police's
control seeping into every fiber of the target's being.
The dominated creature's eyes may change color,
reflecting the influence of the Thought Police's
dominating power.
Examples: In a tense negotiation, the Thought Police
could use Psychic Domination to bend the will of an
influential figure, ensuring that they yield to their
demands and provide crucial information. In a battle
against a formidable enemy spellcaster, the Thought
Police could dominate their mind, turning their potent
spells against their own allies. In a daring infiltration
mission, the Thought Police could dominate a guard,
silently commanding them to disable security
systems and open locked doors, effectively
becoming a stealthy ally within the enemy's
stronghold.

Once dominated, the target creature follows the

commands of the Thought Police without question.
They are compelled to serve and obey, their actions
and thoughts under the complete control of the
Thought Police. The duration of the domination is
permanent unless the creature succeeds in breaking
free through a successful saving throw, outside
intervention, or other extraordinary means.

Limitations: Psychic Domination has certain

limitations to ensure balance and fairness. The
Thought Police can only dominate creatures with an
Intelligence score of 3 or higher, and the target must
be within 30 feet of the Thought Police. Additionally,
the Thought Police can only have one creature
dominated at a time. If they attempt to dominate a
second creature, the previous domination is
automatically broken.

Variants: The Thought Police may develop

variations of Psychic Domination as they gain more

advanced viruses. Their spellcasting ability is
Intelligence. They do not use a spellcasting focus but
instead rely on their own biological enhancements
and viral constructs to cast spells.
Class Overview: Virusweavers are masters of
biological manipulation and control. They have
harnessed the power of advanced viruses, allowing
them to alter their own bodies and control the biology
of others. In combat, they excel at infecting enemies,
healing allies, and creating deadly plagues.
Virusweavers are versatile support characters, able
to adapt their abilities to suit the needs of their party.
They can analyze and exploit the weaknesses of
their foes, as well as provide vital healing and
support to their allies.
Level Progression:
1st: Viral Surge, Biological Augmentation
2nd: Viral Control, Viral Resistance
3rd: Viral Manipulation, Viral Healing
4th: Adaptive Biology
5th: Viral Outbreak
Equipment: A virusweaver starts with the following
equipment: a shortsword, a dagger, a set of
common clothes, a healer's kit, and a belt pouch
containing 10 gold pieces.
Requirements: To become a virusweaver, one must
possess a deep understanding of biology and the
intricate workings of viruses. Additionally, a character
must undergo a rigorous training regimen under the
guidance of an experienced virusweaver.

Hexmaster
Appearance: A typical virusweaver appears as a
figure cloaked in dark, form-fitting garments. Their
eyes radiate an eerie glow, reflecting their
connection to the viruses they manipulate. Through
careful observation, one might notice faint traces of
intricate viral patterns coursing beneath their skin.
Their movements are graceful yet purposeful,
suggesting a deep understanding of their craft.
Limitations: Virusweavers rely heavily on their
biological enhancements and viral constructs to
channel their abilities. If their connection to the
viruses is severed or disrupted, their power
diminishes significantly. Additionally, they are
vulnerable to anti-viral spells and effects, which can
hinder their ability to control their own body or infect
others.
Organizations:
1. The Brotherhood of Bioarcana: An ancient order of
virusweavers dedicated to the study and
preservation of advanced viruses. They serve as a
beacon of knowledge and protectors of the delicate
balance between biology and magic.
2. The Viridian Circle: A clandestine organization of
virusweavers who embrace the darker aspects of
their powers. They seek to harness the most potent
and destructive viruses to further their own goals,
often disregarding the consequences.
3. The Order of Healing Hands: A group of
virusweavers who specialize in using their abilities
for healing and curing diseases. They travel the
world, offering aid to those afflicted by epidemics and
plagues.
Notable Users:
1. Lyra Virellis: A renowned virusweaver who
developed groundbreaking techniques in viral
healing, curing previously incurable diseases. She
founded the Order of Healing Hands and dedicated
her life to eradicating the most deadly plagues.
2. Xander Blackthorn: A mysterious virusweaver
known for his dark experiments and manipulations.
Xander's obsession with controlling the biology of
others has led to him being hunted by various
organizations seeking to end his dangerous
research.

Adventure Hooks:
1. The Plague of Despair: A deadly plague is
sweeping through the cities of Maxxia, leaving
devastation in its wake. The virusweavers are called
upon to find a cure and stop the outbreak before it
consumes the entire world.
2. The Forbidden Vault: Legends speak of a hidden
vault deep within the ruins of an ancient civilization.
Inside lies a powerful viral artifact that could grant
unimaginable powers to any virusweaver who can
obtain it. The party embarks on a perilous journey to
find the vault and claim its secrets.
3. The Viral Nexus: A rogue virusweaver has
discovered a way to merge the power of viruses with
arcane magic, creating a catastrophic blend of
destructive forces. The party is tasked with tracking
down this rogue virusweaver and preventing the
catastrophic consequences of their experiments.
Variants:
1. Plaguewalker: A variant of the virusweaver class
that focuses on spreading diseases and creating
devastating plagues. Plaguewalkers excel at
manipulating and controlling infectious agents,
becoming living conduits of disease.
2. Nano-Viral Engineer: This variant combines the
mastery of viruses with advanced nanotechnology.
Nano-viral engineers can create and control
nanobots infused with viral coding, allowing them to
manipulate both biological and technological systems
with ease.
Comments: Ah, the Virusweaver, a peculiar and
potent class indeed. It is fascinating how they
intertwine magic and biology, embracing the power
of viruses to alter their own bodies and shape the
fate of others. The Virusweaver's ability to heal and
harm with equal proficiency makes them a valuable
asset on any adventure. However, one must always
be cautious when dealing with the intricacies of
biology and viruses. The consequences of a misstep
can be dire, and the line between control and chaos
is perilously thin. Nonetheless, for those bold enough
to delve into the realms of advanced virology, the
Virusweaver offers a realm of possibilities waiting to
be explored.

Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Viral Contagion: You unleash a contagious virus in a
10-foot radius centered on a point you choose within
range. Any creature caught in the area must succeed
on a Constitution saving throw or be infected.

overwhelming, and you and your allies within the
area must also make the saving throw or suffer the
same effects.

responses. With Viral Control, you gain the ability to
influence the behavior of creatures, bending them to
your will through viral manipulation.
Mechanics: When you use this feature, you can
target a creature within 30 feet of you that you can
see. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw
against your spell save DC. On a failed save, the
creature becomes infected with a viral construct that
you have created. The type of viral construct
determines the effect and duration of the control. You
can choose from the following viral constructs:
Enfeebling Virus: The infected creature's physical
abilities are diminished. Its Strength and Dexterity
scores are reduced by 1d4 for a duration of 1 minute.
The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of
each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.
Mindwarp Virus: The infected creature's mental
faculties are warped, making it confused and
disoriented. The target must roll a d10 at the start of
each of its turns to determine its behavior, following
the guidelines for the Confusion spell. The effect
767
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
lasts for 1 minute or until the creature takes damage,
ending the confusion.
Subjugation Virus: The infected creature becomes
subservient to your commands. It regards you as its
ally and follows your verbal orders to the best of its
abilities. The effect lasts for 1 hour or until the
creature takes damage or is subjected to a harmful
condition. The creature can repeat the saving throw
at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a
success.
You can use Viral Control a number of times equal to
your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once). You
regain all expended uses after finishing a long rest.
Additionally, at 2nd level, you gain proficiency in the

intricacies of viruses and their effects on living beings
enhances your ability to persuade and manipulate
others.
Name: Viral Resistance
Level: 2nd
Description: As a Virusweaver, your extensive
exposure to advanced viruses has granted you a
remarkable resilience against diseases and toxins.
Your body has developed a heightened immune
system and the ability to resist the harmful effects of
viral and poisonous substances. This resistance
allows you to navigate hazardous environments and
protect yourself and your allies from the perils of
infectious diseases.
Mechanics:
You gain advantage on saving throws against
diseases and poisons.
You have advantage on Constitution saving throws
to maintain concentration on spells when affected by
disease or poison.
When you are affected by a disease or poisoned
condition, you can spend a bonus action to attempt
to suppress its effects. Make a Constitution saving
throw against the disease's or poison's DC. On a
success, you temporarily suppress the effects of the
disease or poison for 1 hour. After this time, the
disease or poison resumes its normal course unless
cured by other means.
Starting at 5th level, you gain immunity to diseases
and poisons. You can no longer be affected by any
disease or poison, and you are immune to the
poisoned condition.
As a Virusweaver, your Viral Resistance not only
protects you but also empowers you to venture into
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
dangerous territories where diseases and toxins
abound. You are a valuable asset in situations where
environmental hazards threaten the party, and your
ability to suppress the effects of diseases and
poisons can turn the tide of battle in your favor.
Additionally, your immunity to diseases and poisons
further solidifies your role as a resilient and
indomitable force against biological threats.
Your Viral Resistance also extends beyond personal
protection. With your understanding of pathogens
and toxins, you can advise your allies on how to
avoid exposure and help them fortify their own
immune systems. This knowledge can prove
invaluable during downtime, as you teach your
companions about the dangers of certain regions or
provide remedies to common ailments. Furthermore,
your resistance to diseases and poisons can make
you a sought-after ally in diplomatic missions where
biological threats may be employed as covert
weapons.
Name: Viral Manipulation
Level: 3rd
Description: As a Virusweaver, you have gained
mastery over the manipulation of advanced viruses.
With Viral Manipulation, you can use your knowledge
and control over these viruses to interact with the
world in unique and powerful ways.
Mechanics:
Viral Data Scan: You can spend 10 minutes
analyzing a creature, object, or area, using your
expertise in viral manipulation to gather detailed
information. Make an Intelligence check with a DC
determined by the DM based on the complexity of
the subject. On a successful check, you gain insight
into the subject's biology, weaknesses,
vulnerabilities, or any viral-related aspects. This
information can be valuable for planning strategies,
identifying potential allies or enemies, or
understanding the nature of biological threats.
Viral Communication: You can establish a telepathic
connection with a willing creature for up to 1 hour.
Through this link, you can share information, images,
or sensations, effectively communicating complex
concepts instantly. This ability allows you to
exchange information discreetly, strategize with
allies, or even convey messages without the need for
spoken words. The telepathic link remains active as
long as you concentrate on it, up to the duration.
768
Hexmaster
Viral Reconstruction: By expending a spell slot and
taking 1 minute of concentration, you can manipulate
the viral energy within your body to restore vitality to
yourself or an injured creature. The target regains hit
points equal to 2d8 plus your Intelligence modifier.
Additionally, if the target is suffering from a disease,
you can make a spellcasting ability check using your
Intelligence modifier. On a successful check, you
suppress the disease's effects for 24 hours. This
feature can be used a number of times equal to your
Intelligence modifier (minimum of once) before
requiring a long rest to regain expended uses.
Viral Adaptation: Through your deep understanding
of viruses, you have developed an adaptive biology
that enhances your resilience. You gain resistance to
poison damage and advantage on saving throws
against being poisoned. Additionally, when you finish
a long rest, you can choose one condition (e.g.,
blinded, deafened, paralyzed, poisoned) afflicting
you. You become immune to that condition for the
next 24 hours.
Viral Integration: Through intense study and
experimentation, you have gained the ability to
integrate viruses into your environment, creating
beneficial effects and altering biological ecosystems.
You can spend 1 hour interacting with an area of
nature, such as a forest, swamp, or cave, and
release a controlled virus tailored to the environment.
This virus will enhance the natural flora and fauna,
promoting growth, healing, or warding off harmful
creatures. The specific effects and duration are
determined by the DM based on the situation and
narrative. This feature can be used once before
requiring a long rest.
Name: Viral Healing
Level: 3rd
Description: Viral Healing is a class feature that
harnesses the Virusweaver's mastery over advanced
viruses to provide potent healing abilities. Through
their understanding of biological manipulation, they
can tap into the regenerative properties of viruses to
mend wounds and restore vitality to themselves and
their allies.
Mechanics:
Healing Pool: As a Virusweaver, you gain a Healing
Pool equal to your Virusweaver level multiplied by
your Intelligence modifier. This pool represents the
reservoir of healing energy you can draw upon to
restore hit points. The size of your Healing Pool
increases as you gain levels in the Virusweaver
Hexmaster
class.
Viral Cure: You can spend hit points from your
Healing Pool to heal yourself or an ally. As an action,
you can touch a creature and expend hit points from
your Healing Pool to restore their hit points. The
amount of hit points restored is equal to the number
of hit points expended. The target creature must be
within 30 feet of you.
Viral Regeneration: Through your expertise in
biological manipulation, you can augment your own
regenerative capabilities. As a bonus action, you can
expend hit points from your Healing Pool to regain hit
points equal to twice the amount expended. This
ability allows you to rapidly heal yourself in the midst
of combat or after sustaining injuries.
Viral Vitality: When you use your Viral Cure feature
to restore hit points to an ally, they also gain
temporary hit points equal to your Virusweaver level
plus your Intelligence modifier. These temporary hit
points bolster their resilience and provide an
additional buffer against harm.
Infectious Renewal (Viral Outbreak Level 5): At 5th
level, you gain the ability to unleash a burst of
rejuvenating viral energy. As an action, you can
spend hit points from your Healing Pool to heal all
creatures of your choice within a 30-foot radius
centered on yourself. Each creature regains hit
points equal to the number of hit points expended.
This burst of infectious renewal can provide crucial
healing in dire situations and turn the tide of battle.
Name: Adaptive Biology
Level: 4th
Description: With extensive knowledge and control
over their own biology, Virusweavers gain the ability
to adapt and modify their physical form to better suit
their needs. Through a combination of genetic
manipulation and viral infusion, they can temporarily
enhance their attributes and gain new abilities.
Mechanics:
Adaptive Biology has a duration of 1 hour and
requires concentration.
As an action, the Virusweaver can activate Adaptive
Biology, choosing one of the following
enhancements:
Enhanced Resilience: The Virusweaver's
Constitution score increases by 2, and they gain
temporary hit points equal to their Virusweaver level
+ their Constitution modifier.

769
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Nimble Reflexes: The Virusweaver's Dexterity score
increases by 2, and they gain a +10 feet bonus to
their movement speed.
Biohazard Aura: The Virusweaver exudes a virulent
aura, radiating 10 feet around them. Any creature
that starts its turn within this aura takes 1d4 poison
damage, and their speed is reduced by 10 feet until
the start of their next turn. The Virusweaver is
immune to their own Biohazard Aura.
Toxic Transfusion: The Virusweaver's melee weapon
attacks deal an additional 1d6 poison damage, and
creatures hit by these attacks must succeed on a
Constitution saving throw (DC 8 + Virusweaver's
proficiency bonus + Intelligence modifier) or become
poisoned until the end of their next turn.
Once the Virusweaver uses Adaptive Biology, they
must finish a long rest before using it again.
At 5th level, the Virusweaver gains the ability to use
Adaptive Biology twice before requiring a long rest.
Name: Viral Outbreak
Level: 5th
Description: Viral Outbreak allows the Virusweaver
to unleash a devastating plague upon their enemies,
spreading chaos and weakening their foes. This
class feature enables the Virusweaver to manipulate
their viral constructs on a large scale, infecting
multiple targets and disrupting their abilities.
Mechanics: As an action, the Virusweaver selects a
number of creatures within a 30-foot radius centered
on themselves, up to a maximum equal to their
Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1). The chosen
creatures must make a Constitution saving throw
against the Virusweaver's spell save DC.
On a failed save, the creatures become infected with
a debilitating virus. They suffer ongoing damage
equal to the Virusweaver's level at the start of each
of their turns for a duration of 1 minute. Additionally,
the infected creatures have disadvantage on attack
rolls, ability checks, and saving throws for the same
duration.
On a successful save, the creatures resist the viral
outbreak and suffer no ongoing damage or additional
effects.
The Virusweaver can use Viral Outbreak a number of
times equal to their Intelligence modifier (minimum of
1), and they regain expended uses of this feature
after finishing a long rest.
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
The Virusweaver's mastery over viruses and their
understanding of biological vulnerabilities allows
them to choose up to two additional effects for Viral
Outbreak at 5th level. These effects can be chosen
from the following options:
Viral Suppression: Infected creatures have their
movement speed reduced by half until the end of
their next turn.
Viral Contagion: Infected creatures must make an
additional Constitution saving throw at the end of
each of their turns. On a failed save, they remain
infected and suffer the ongoing damage and
disadvantages for another round.
Viral Transference: The Virusweaver regains hit
points equal to half the damage dealt by the ongoing
damage effect of Viral Outbreak (rounded down).
The Virusweaver can choose different effects each
time they use Viral Outbreak, allowing them to adapt

Spells:
Name: Viral Strike
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 1
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Viral Strike is a potent transmutation spell that allows
you to infect your weapon with a viral agent, inflicting
additional poison damage upon a successful hit. By
harnessing the mysterious forces of science and
magic, you empower your weapon with a toxic
essence that can harm your foes. However, be wary,
for the viral agent also affects you, causing a mild
poisoning effect.
When you cast Viral Strike, you channel arcane
energy into your weapon, infusing it with a swirling
green aura. The next time you successfully hit a
target with a weapon attack, the viral agent takes
effect. Your attack deals an additional 1d6 poison
damage to the target, as the viral agent seeps into
their wounds, spreading its toxic influence.
However, the price of wielding this power comes at a
770
Hexmaster
cost. At the start of your next turn, the viral agent
begins to affect you as well. You suffer 1d4 poison
damage as the potent toxins course through your
veins. It is important to plan your actions accordingly,
as this spell can have both offensive and defensive
implications.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When you cast Viral Strike using a spell slot of 2nd
level or higher, the additional poison damage
increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 1st.
Additionally, the poison damage you take at the start
of your next turn increases by 1d4 for each slot level
above 1st. This enhanced effect reflects the
heightened potency of the viral agent, allowing you to
unleash even more devastating strikes upon your
enemies.
Name: Biological Surge
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 0
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Biological Surge is a spell that allows you to tap into
the hidden potential of your own biology, temporarily
enhancing your physical abilities. As you utter the
incantation and weave intricate hand gestures, a
surge of arcane energy envelops your body, infusing
your muscles, bones, and nerves with a supernatural
vigor.
When you cast Biological Surge, you become
imbued with heightened strength and agility, granting
you an advantage on your next Strength or Dexterity
ability check or saving throw. Whether you're
attempting to overpower a foe in combat, perform an
acrobatic feat, or evade a trap, this spell enhances
your chances of success. The surge of power within
you empowers your muscles, making you stronger
and more agile than ever before.
However, the strain of manipulating your own biology
takes a toll on your body. After benefiting from the
enhanced abilities granted by Biological Surge, you
suffer one level of exhaustion. This exhaustion
represents the fatigue and depletion caused by
Hexmaster
pushing your physical limits beyond their normal
boundaries. It is essential to be mindful of your
endurance and use this spell judiciously, as multiple
castings in quick succession could lead to severe
exhaustion and hinder your capabilities.
As you grow in power and proficiency, you can cast
Biological Surge using higher level spell slots, which
magnifies its effects. When cast as a higher-level
spell, the duration of the enhanced physical abilities
increases. For example, casting Biological Surge
using a 1st-level spell slot extends the advantage
granted by the spell to last for 1 minute instead of
only a single ability check or saving throw.
Additionally, casting it with a 2nd-level spell slot
grants you the benefits for 10 minutes, and so on,
with each level of spell slot increase extending the
duration by an additional 10 minutes.
Name: Toxic Touch
School of Magic: Necromancy
Level: 0
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Constitution saving throw
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Toxic Touch is a spell that taps into the dark
energies of necromancy, allowing you to infuse your
touch with a virulent poison. As you cast the spell, a
sickly green aura envelops your hand, signifying the
toxic power that awaits your target.
When you successfully touch a creature with this
spell, they suffer the immediate effects of your toxic
energy. The target must make a Constitution saving
throw to resist the poisonous effects. On a failed
save, they take 1d8 poison damage. However, if the
target succeeds on the saving throw, they resist the
toxic influence and take no damage.
The virulent energy lingers on your hands even after
casting the spell, causing a lingering disadvantage
on all ability checks and attack rolls you make until
you take a short rest. This drawback serves as a
reminder of the dangerous forces you have
channeled.
771
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When casting Toxic Touch using a spell slot of
higher level than 0, the damage increases by 1d8 for
each level above 0. For example, if you cast it using
a 1st-level spell slot, the damage would be 2d8
poison damage.
Name: Viral Infestation
School of Magic: Necromancy
Level: 1st-Level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 minute
Saving Throw: Constitution saving throw
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Viral Infestation is a sinister spell that harnesses the
power of necromantic energies to infect a targeted
creature with a debilitating virus. You utter dark
incantations and gesture with your hands, channeling
your arcane energy toward the unfortunate victim.
Upon casting this spell, the target must make a
Constitution saving throw to resist the effects of the
virus. The insidious nature of the virus makes it
difficult to fight off, and failure to resist results in
being poisoned for the duration. A successful saving
throw, however, enables the target to withstand the
virus and avoid its harmful effects.
While poisoned, the infected creature suffers 1d6
poison damage at the start of each of its turns. The
virus courses through their veins, weakening their
body and sapping their vitality. The pain and
discomfort inflicted by this poison are excruciating,
making it challenging for the target to focus on
anything other than their deteriorating condition.
However, should the target succeed on the saving
throw, the virus rebounds upon you, the caster. The
same debilitating effects that were meant for the
target now afflict you instead. Your body becomes a
host for the virus, and you suffer from the same
poisoning and damage for the spell's duration. This
rebound effect serves as a warning to those who
dare to wield such dark powers, emphasizing the
risks involved in manipulating necromantic energies.
As you gain more experience and grow in power, the
Viral Infestation spell can be cast using higher level
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
spell slots, inflicting greater damage upon the target.
When cast using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher,
the poison damage inflicted on the infected creature
increases by 1d6 for each level above 1st.
Name: Regenerative Viruses
School of Magic: Conjuration
Level: 1st-Level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Regenerative Viruses is a spell that taps into the
power of conjuration, allowing you to release a
swarm of regenerative viruses upon a target. As you
cast the spell, you weave intricate arcane patterns in
the air, calling forth a cloud of shimmering,
microscopic entities that resemble ethereal fireflies.
The swarm hovers momentarily before descending
upon the chosen creature, imbuing it with their
revitalizing energy.
When you cast Regenerative Viruses, you choose
either yourself or a creature within range as the
target. The regenerative viruses immediately begin
their work, restoring vitality and healing the target for
1d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier hit points. The
soothing energy of the viruses spreads through the
target's body, accelerating the natural healing
process and mending wounds with remarkable
speed.
However, the regenerative viruses are not without
their drawbacks. Their volatile nature causes the
target to suffer 1d4 necrotic damage at the start of
their next turn. This surge of necrotic energy
represents the side effects of the rapid healing
process, as the body temporarily struggles to adapt
to the foreign energy coursing through its veins.
The potency of this spell increases as you cast it
using higher-level spell slots. For each spell slot level
above 1st, the healing increases by 1d8, while the
necrotic damage remains unchanged. This allows
you to unleash a more substantial healing effect
while still bearing the risk of the subsequent necrotic
backlash.

Name: Viral Contagion
School of Magic: Necromancy
Level: 1st-Level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: 10-foot radius centered on a point you
choose within range
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: 1 minute
Saving Throw: Constitution saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
You tap into the dark arts of necromancy, unleashing
a virulent and contagious virus upon your enemies.
With a swift incantation and gesture, you release the
virus within a 10-foot radius centered on a point of
your choice within range.
Any creature caught in the area must make a
Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the
creature becomes infected by the virulent contagion.
Infected creatures suffer 1d10 poison damage at the
start of each of their turns for 1 minute, representing
the debilitating effects of the virus coursing through
their veins.
However, the virus is highly contagious, and any
creature that comes into contact with an infected
creature must also make a Constitution saving throw
or become infected. This secondary transmission
allows the virus to rapidly spread among your foes,
causing chaos and weakening their ranks.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When you cast Viral Contagion using a spell slot of
2nd level or higher, the damage inflicted by the virus
increases. For each level above 1st, the damage
dealt by the virus increases by an additional 1d10.
This increase represents the enhanced potency of
the contagion, making it even deadlier and harder to
contain.
Name: Plague Aura
School of Magic: Necromancy

Range: Self (10-foot radius)
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Constitution saving throw
Spell Resistance: No
Hexmaster
Description:
Plague Aura is a wicked spell that taps into the
darker aspects of necromantic magic. As you cast
the spell, a sinister energy envelopes you,
manifesting as a toxic aura that emanates in a 10-
foot radius around you. The aura pulses with a sickly
green hue, exuding an eerie mist filled with noxious
fumes and swirling poisonous particles.
Any creature unfortunate enough to start its turn
within this radius is immediately subjected to the
wrath of the poison energy. The noxious vapors seep
into their lungs and permeate their bodies, causing
2d6 poison damage. The victim's eyes water, throat
constricts, and their skin takes on a sickly pallor as
the toxin courses through their veins.
However, you are not immune to the effects of your
own malevolent creation. At the start of each of your
turns while maintaining concentration, you too suffer
the same affliction, enduring the pain and damage of
the poison energy. It is a small price to pay for
wielding such potent and vile magic.
The Plague Aura is a constant reminder of the
darkness that flows within the caster. It is a
testament to their mastery over necromancy, a
power that harnesses the very essence of death and
decay. While the spell can wreak havoc on foes, it
also serves as a reminder that no power comes
without sacrifice.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When casting Plague Aura using a spell slot of 3rd
level or higher, the damage inflicted by the poison
energy increases by 1d6 for each slot level above
2nd. For example, if cast using a 3rd-level slot, the
damage becomes 3d6 poison damage, and so on.
This higher level of mastery over necromancy
intensifies the potency of the aura, spreading even
greater suffering and affliction among those
unfortunate enough to be caught within its grasp.
Name: Viral Transfusion
School of Magic: Necromancy
Level: 2
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Target: One willing creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
773
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Viral Transfusion is a dark and forbidden spell that
taps into the essence of life and death. With a flick of
your wrist and an incantation laden with ancient
power, you draw upon the life force of a willing
creature within 30 feet, siphoning its vitality to
rejuvenate your own.
As you cast the spell, a ghastly aura envelops both
you and the target. The flow of life energy becomes
visible, resembling a swirling mist of ethereal tendrils
that stretch from the target towards you. The strands
of energy pulsate with an otherworldly glow, weaving
a mesmerizing pattern in the air.
Upon completion of the spell, you absorb the life
force of the willing creature, restoring your own
vitality. The amount healed is equal to the target's hit
point maximum, rejuvenating your body and mending
your wounds with their essence. However, this
process is not without consequence for the target.
The strain of the life force extraction causes the
target to suffer one level of exhaustion, their energy
and vitality diminished by the ordeal. Their
movements become sluggish, their limbs heavy, and
their mind clouded. The burden of exhaustion weighs
heavily upon them, affecting their combat prowess
and ability to resist harmful effects.
Until the target completes a long rest, they bear the
weight of disadvantage on all attack rolls and saving
throws, their drained life force leaving them
vulnerable and weakened.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When you cast Viral Transfusion using a spell slot of
3rd level or higher, the amount of healing you receive
increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 2nd.
Additionally, the target suffers an additional level of
exhaustion for each slot level above 2nd, to a
maximum of three levels. However, the duration of
disadvantage remains the same, lasting until the
target completes a long rest.
Name: Epidemic Eruption
School of Magic: Evocation
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Level: 2
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (20-foot cone)
Target: All creatures in a 20-foot cone
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Constitution
Spell Resistance: No
Description: With a flourish of your hands, you
summon the devastating power of an Epidemic
Eruption, a spell of viral chaos that ravages your
foes. As you complete the somatic gestures and utter
the incantation, a dark energy crackles around you,
emanating from your outstretched arms. Suddenly, a
wave of malevolent energy bursts forth in a 20-foot
cone originating from your position.
Each creature within the cone must make a
Constitution saving throw. Those who fail succumb to
the virulent eruption, suffering 3d6 poison damage
and becoming poisoned for 1 minute. The putrid
miasma invades their bodies, causing their
movements to become sluggish and their vision to
blur as the toxins take hold.
But the contagion does not stop there. At the start of
each infected creature's turn, they must make a
saving throw to resist the urge to spread the infection
further. If they fail, the contagious nature of the spell
compels them to pass on the viral curse to a creature
within 10 feet of them. The chosen creature must
then make a Constitution saving throw to resist the
effects of the Epidemic Eruption.
The noxious energy inflicts immense strain on your
body, and as a result, you suffer one level of
exhaustion. The toll it takes on your physical and
magical reserves is evident, leaving you momentarily
weakened and fatigued.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When cast using a 3rd-level spell slot or higher, the
poison damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level
above 2nd.
Name: Viral Manipulation
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
774
Hexmaster
Components: Verbal, somatic, material (a vial of
alchemical reagents)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Constitution saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Viral Manipulation is a potent spell that grants you
the ability to seize control of a creature's biological
functions. As you cast the spell, you hold forth a vial
filled with shimmering, ethereal liquid, representing
the essence of the alchemical reagents required to
channel this mystical power.
You focus your energy on a single target within
range, attempting to disrupt their bodily autonomy.
The target must make a Constitution saving throw
against your spell save DC. On a failed save, the
spell takes effect, and you establish an intricate
psychic connection with the creature's physiology.
For the duration of 1 minute, you gain complete
control over the target's actions. You can force them
to move, attack, cast spells, or perform any other
action within their capabilities. However, their mind
remains aware of their own helplessness, leading to
their actions being coerced but not necessarily their
thoughts.
While maintaining this intense level of concentration
and control, you become completely incapacitated,
unable to take any actions or defend yourself. You
are essentially at the mercy of the spell's power,
allowing the target to retaliate or flee without
resistance. This vulnerability lasts for 1 minute after
the duration of the spell ends.
Enhanced Effects:
When you cast this spell using a 4th-level spell slot,
the duration increases to 10 minutes.
When you cast this spell using a 5th-level spell slot,
the duration increases to 1 hour.
When you cast this spell using a 6th-level spell slot
or higher, the duration becomes permanent until
dispelled, but you are still incapacitated for 1 minute
after the duration ends.
Name: Lethal Plague
School of Magic: Necromancy
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Hexmaster Chapter 5 Advanced Classes

Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Constitution saving throw
Spell Resistance: No
Description: With a wave of your hand and an
incantation that resonates with the dark forces of
necromancy, you unleash a highly potent and deadly
virus upon a single creature within 60 feet. The vile
energies you channel manifest as a sickly green mist
that envelops the target, penetrating their body with
malevolent intent.
The target must make a Constitution saving throw to
resist the effects of the Lethal Plague. On a failed
save, the virus takes hold, causing the unfortunate
victim to suffer 8d6 poison damage and become
incapacitated for 1 minute. The excruciating pain and
debilitating symptoms of the disease leave the target
unable to act or defend themselves.
However, the casting of this spell comes at a great
cost to the caster. The dark magic drains your own
life force, leaving you weakened and vulnerable.
Upon casting Lethal Plague, you immediately suffer
two levels of exhaustion, representing the toll it takes
on your body and spirit.
Enhanced Effects: When casting Lethal Plague using
a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage inflicted
by the virus increases by 2d6 for each slot level
above 3rd.
serpents, and ethereal beings. As you release the
spell, the swarm materializes in a whirlwind of toxic
mists, filling the designated area with an ominous
buzzing.
Each creature within the 20-foot radius must make a
Constitution saving throw. Those who fail succumb to
the virulent assault, taking 5d8 poison damage and
becoming poisoned for 1 minute. The poison courses
through their veins, causing their movements to
become sluggish and weakening their constitution.
The poisoned targets have disadvantage on attack
rolls and ability checks and their speed is halved.
However, the resilience of certain creatures or
magical resistance might grant them an advantage,
allowing them to resist the effects of the swarm.
Beware, though, for the swarm's virulence extends
beyond your intended targets. You and your allies
within the area of effect must also make the same
Constitution saving throw. Failure results in suffering
the same dire consequences as the enemies. It's a
testament to the overwhelming nature of this spell's
power.
At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a
spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage
increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 3rd.
Additionally, the radius of the swarm's effect
increases by 5 feet for each slot level above 3rd,
allowing it to engulf a larger area and impact more
adversaries or allies with its poisonous wrath.

Virulent Swarm is a spell that taps into the powers of

Visionary Spell List
Cantrips:
Martyr's Touch: You touch a creature and restore
1d4 hit points. However, this spell requires the
Visionary to sacrifice an equal amount of their own
hit points.
Serpent's Tongue: You speak with a silvered tongue,
granting advantage on Charisma-based skill checks
for the next minute. However, for the same duration,
every word you speak causes you 1 point of psychic
damage.
Divine Spark: You create a small radiant flame in
your hand, providing dim light in a 5-foot radius. As a
bonus action, you can throw the flame up to 30 feet,
causing it to explode in a 10-foot radius. Each
creature in the area must make a Dexterity saving
throw or take 1d6 radiant damage. However, casting
this spell drains your own vitality, causing you to
suffer one level of exhaustion.
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
1st-Level Spells:
Water into Wine: You touch a container of non-
magical liquid, transforming it into a fine vintage
wine. Consuming this wine restores 2d6 hit points,
but the Visionary loses an equivalent amount of hit
points as the cost of the spell.
Loaves and Fishes: You create nourishing food for a
number of creatures equal to twice your spellcasting
ability modifier. However, this spell drains your own
reserves, causing you to suffer one level of
exhaustion.
Aquastride: For the next minute, you gain the ability
to walk on water as if it were solid ground. However,
at the end of the spell's duration, you are struck by
extreme fatigue, reducing your movement speed to 0
for the next hour.
2nd-Level Spells:
Life's Resurgence: You touch a creature that has
died within the last minute, bringing it back to life with
1 hit point. However, casting this spell drains a
significant amount of life force from the Visionary,
reducing their maximum hit points by half until they
finish a long rest.
Calming the Storm: You calm the weather within a 1-
mile radius, dispelling storms, extinguishing fires,
and calming turbulent winds. However, channeling
this power takes a toll on your body, causing you to
suffer one level of exhaustion.
Miracle of Abundance: You create a feast sufficient
to feed 15 creatures for 24 hours. However, the
tremendous exertion required to manifest such
abundance leaves you famished, and you suffer one
level of exhaustion.
3rd-Level Spells:
Healing Resurgence: You channel divine energy into
a willing creature, restoring 5d8 hit points and
removing any diseases or curses affecting them.
However, this spell requires a significant offering of
your own vitality, causing you to lose half of your
current hit points.
Rebirth: You touch a creature that has died within the
last minute, restoring them to life with full hit points.
However, casting this spell exacts a terrible toll on
778
Hexmaster
the Visionary, reducing their maximum hit points to
half until they finish a long rest.
Ascension: You temporarily grant a creature the
power of flight for the next hour. However, the
immense energy required for this feat leaves you
utterly drained, causing you to fall unconscious for
1d4 hours immediately after casting the spell.
Name: Ideological Inspire
Level: 1st
Description: The Visionary possesses the ability to
inspire others with their visionary ideas and ideals,
rallying them to their cause and igniting a spark of
change within their hearts. Through their charismatic
presence and compelling speeches, the Visionary
can sway the opinions of individuals, foster alliances,
and create a network of supporters for their cause.
Mechanics: As an action, the Visionary can deliver
an inspiring speech or engage in a heartfelt
conversation with a group of individuals. The number
of individuals affected by this feature depends on the
Visionary's Charisma modifier plus their proficiency
bonus. The affected individuals must be able to hear
and understand the Visionary.
Affected individuals gain temporary hit points equal
to the Visionary's Charisma modifier plus their
Visionary level. These temporary hit points represent
the surge of motivation and determination that the
Visionary instills within them. The temporary hit
points last for 1 hour and can be refreshed by
subsequent uses of this feature.
In addition to temporary hit points, affected
individuals gain advantage on Wisdom saving throws
against being frightened or charmed for the duration.
This represents their strengthened resolve and
fortified mental state, making them more resistant to
external manipulation or intimidation.
Once the Visionary uses this feature, they cannot
use it again until they finish a long rest. However, if
the Visionary expends a spell slot of 1st level or
higher, they can use Ideological Inspire an additional
time before requiring a long rest. The spell slot's level
determines the number of extra uses, as follows:
1st-level spell slot: 1 additional use
2nd-level spell slot: 2 additional uses
3rd-level spell slot: 3 additional uses
And so on, up to a maximum of 9th-level spell slot
Hexmaster
granting 9 additional uses.
The Visionary's ability to inspire others can have far-
reaching consequences, fostering alliances,
gathering supporters, and establishing a network of
individuals who share their ideals. These
connections can prove invaluable during downtime
activities, as the Visionary can rely on their followers
to aid them in various endeavors such as gathering
information, acquiring resources, or providing
logistical support.
It should be noted that the success of Ideological
Inspire depends on the individuals being receptive to
the Visionary's ideas. The DM may require skill
checks, such as Charisma (Persuasion), to
determine the outcome of the feature's effects in
specific situations. The DM may also decide that
certain individuals, due to their disposition or prior
affiliations, are immune to the effects of Ideological
Inspire.

proficiency bonus twice, instead of once, if you are
not already doing so.
Manifest Ideal: At 3rd level, you learn to manifest
your ideals into the physical world, even outside of
combat situations. Once per long rest, you can

environment, aid your allies, or hinder your enemies.
The specific effects are determined by your
archetype, as described in the Visionary Archetype
780

inner convictions, channeling their energy into a
781
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
grand display of their ideals. During this ritual, the
Visionary crafts a detailed vision of their desired
change or improvement in the world. This vision
must be related to their ideology or the world of
Maxxia and can range from inspiring social reform to
advancing technological innovations or magical
advancements.

Ideological Enactment, the Visionary gains
advantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks and
Charisma saving throws for the next 24 hours. Their
words become infused with an otherworldly or
technological resonance, captivating and compelling
those who listen. Additionally, the Visionary gains
advantage on Charisma-based ability checks when
interacting with individuals who share their ideology
or hold similar beliefs.
Ripple Effect: The manifestation of the Visionary's
ideals extends beyond mere words and
persuasiveness. Once during the 24-hour duration of
Enthusiastic Advocacy, the Visionary can choose a
specific area or community that would be directly
affected by their envisioned change. The Visionary's
influence spreads through this area, and over the
course of several weeks, the community begins to

technological advancements, or any other change

instructions, coordinate plans, or provide guidance
and support to their followers from afar.

world does not end with their mortal existence. At the
end of their journey, the Visionary leaves behind a
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
lasting legacy that ensures the continuity of their
ideals. They are able to designate a successor, an
individual who carries on their vision and works
towards its fulfillment. This successor gains a
permanent bonus to Charisma (Persuasion) checks
and Charisma saving throws, symbolizing the
inspiration and guidance left behind by the original
Visionary.
Visionary Spells
Name: Martyr's Touch
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 0
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
From the depths of knowledge that time itself has
forgotten, hails this spell, a testament to the nobility
of sacrifice and the complex intertwining of life
forces. A blend of science and mysticism, Martyr's
Touch roots its origins in the esoteric traditions of the
ancient order of The Visionaries. A school known for
their unique blending of quantum theory with arcane
wisdom, the Visionaries pioneered new methods of
channeling energy and understanding the web of
existence.
Martyr's Touch is a delicate spell that manipulates
the very strings of life force between two beings,
taking a piece from the caster, the Martyr, and
infusing it into the beneficiary. Upon casting, the
Visionary reaches out, their fingers wreathed in a
soft, sapphire radiance. It's a glow imbued with the
essence of life, flickering between shades of cobalt
and cerulean like the very heartbeat of the cosmos.
The physical contact establishes a conduit for the
energy transfer, but the cost is personal. The caster
willingly, sacrificially, offers their vitality to mend
another.
The caster loses 1d4 hit points, as their life essence,
their very quantum particles, vibrates in harmony
with the weave of magic. It is a strange sensation,
like a brush of ethereal wind siphoning away the
caster's strength, their life momentarily dimming in a
782
Hexmaster
poignant, silent surrender. The same amount of hit
points is then restored to the recipient of the spell,
their wounds closing, their strength returning as the
transmuted life force knits together their physical and
ethereal form.
Given its altruistic nature, Martyr's Touch serves as a
living embodiment of the Visionary's credo, "Through
sacrifice, transcendence; through suffering,
understanding." As such, there are no saving throws
against this spell, nor does it allow for spell
resistance. The spell is immediate and is not subject
to temporal distortions or modifications.
However, there is an inbuilt safeguard in the spell - it
will not let the caster sacrifice more than they can
afford, hence the caster cannot fall unconscious or
die from using this spell. The Martyr's Touch has an
empathetic pulse and will refrain from siphoning off
the caster's vitality if it would bring them to the brink
of death. This altruistic underpinning of the spell pays
homage to the Visionaries' understanding of the
balance between sacrifice and self-preservation.
Martyr's Touch does not offer enhanced effects when
cast with higher level spell slots. However, repeated
use of the spell forges a stronger bond with the
cosmic weave, potentially leading to deeper insights
into the fundamental nature of existence, the
interplay of energy and matter, and the profound
complexities of the life-death-rebirth cycle.
Name: Serpent's Tongue
School of Magic: Enchantment
Level: 0
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: Verbal
Duration: 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Serpent's Tongue is a mesmerizing cantrip that taps
into the power of enchantment magic. When you cast
this spell, your words become infused with a silvered
essence, granting you a charming aura and
enhancing your charisma-based skills. For the
duration of one minute, your persuasive abilities are
heightened, giving you advantage on all Charisma-
based skill checks.
Hexmaster
However, there is a perilous twist to this enchanting
ability. The same silvered tongue that brings you
charisma and influence comes at a price. Every word
you speak while under the effects of Serpent's
Tongue causes you to suffer 1 point of psychic
damage. This damage is a reflection of the strain
your mind experiences as you channel the potent
magic that empowers your speech.
As you immerse yourself in the spell, your voice
takes on an alluring quality, resonating with a
melodic timbre that captivates those who hear it.
Your words flow effortlessly, imbued with an
irresistible charm that makes it difficult for others to
resist your persuasions. Whether you seek to
negotiate with a stubborn merchant, sway the
opinion of a skeptical crowd, or even seduce an
infatuated admirer, the Serpent's Tongue amplifies
your influence, enabling you to achieve your desired
outcomes more easily.
When casting Serpent's Tongue using a higher level
spell slot, the duration of the spell extends by 1
minute for each level beyond the 0 level. Additionally,
the psychic damage inflicted by each spoken word
increases by 1 point for every two levels above the 0
level. This heightened version of the spell amplifies
your persuasive abilities even further but also
exposes your mind to increased strain.
Name: Divine Spark
School of Magic: Evocation
Level: 0
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Dexterity saving throw
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Divine Spark is a spell that taps into the primal
energies of the cosmos, allowing you to conjure a
small radiant flame in the palm of your hand. As you
cast the spell, a warm and gentle glow emanates
from your outstretched hand, providing a dim light in
a 5-foot radius.
As a bonus action, you can choose to throw the
radiant flame, propelling it up to 30 feet away from
you. The flame, upon reaching its destination, erupts
783
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
into a dazzling explosion of radiant energy, creating
a 10-foot radius burst of intense light.
Any creature caught within the area of the explosion
must make a Dexterity saving throw to avoid the
brunt of the radiant damage. On a failed save, the
target takes 1d6 radiant damage, representing the
searing and purifying nature of the divine energies.
Creatures who succeed on the saving throw manage
to evade the worst of the blast, taking half damage
instead.
However, casting Divine Spark exacts a toll on your
own vitality. The sheer power required to summon
and control the radiant flame drains your energy,
leaving you with one level of exhaustion. The spell
manifests a fraction of your inner light, sacrificing a
piece of your own strength to bring forth this divine
conflagration.
Enhanced Effects:
While Divine Spark is a 0-level spell, it can still be
cast using higher-level spell slots to enhance its
effects. Each level beyond 0 increases the damage
dealt by an additional 1d6 radiant damage.
Additionally, for every level beyond 0, the radius of
the explosion increases by 5 feet, allowing you to
engulf a larger area in radiant destruction.
Name: Water into Wine
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 1st-Level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Target: One container of non-magical liquid
Components: V, S, M (a small vial of grape juice)
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Water into Wine is a spell of transmutation magic
that allows the caster, known as the Visionary, to
transform a container of non-magical liquid into a fine
vintage wine. This spell is often favored by those
who appreciate the finer things in life and seek the
pleasures of the senses.
To cast the spell, the Visionary must touch a
container filled with the liquid they wish to transform.
As the spell is invoked, a shimmering aura envelops
the container, and the liquid within it undergoes a
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
rapid alchemical transformation. Clear water turns
into a deep, rich red wine, radiating with a tantalizing
aroma.
When the transformation is complete, the wine
retains its liquid properties but gains a mystical
essence. Consuming this enchanted wine has a
healing effect, restoring 2d6 hit points to the imbiber.
However, the spell exacts a price from the Visionary,
who loses an equivalent amount of hit points as the
cost of channeling the magical energy required for
the transmutation.
The spell's effects are instantaneous, and the wine
remains potent for a short time before reverting to its
original form. The duration of the wine's
transformation is typically enough for a single use,
encouraging its immediate consumption.
Enhanced Effects:
When Water into Wine is cast using a spell slot of
2nd level or higher, the restorative properties of the
wine increase. For each level above 1st, the spell
restores an additional 1d6 hit points to the consumer,
providing a more potent and rejuvenating effect.
Additionally, when cast at higher levels, the Visionary
gains the ability to transform larger containers of
liquid. For each level above 1st, the spell's range
increases by 5 feet, allowing the Visionary to target
containers farther away.
Name: Loaves and Fishes
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 1st-Level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Target: Multiple creatures
Components: V, S, M (a small loaf of bread and a
dried fish)
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Loaves and Fishes is a wondrous spell that taps into
the essence of transformation and sustenance.
When you cast this spell, you evoke the power to
create nourishing food to sustain a number of
creatures equal to twice your spellcasting ability
modifier. You must choose creatures within a 30-foot
radius of you as the targets of this spell.
784
Hexmaster
As the magical energy flows through you, the small
loaf of bread and dried fish consumed as material
components are transformed into an abundant feast
that materializes before the targeted creatures. The
food varies depending on the preferences of the
creatures affected, magically adapting to their
cultural and dietary needs. A carnivorous beast might
be granted a juicy steak, while a herbivorous
creature would receive a bountiful array of fruits and
vegetables. This magical food is not only delicious
but also provides sustenance equal to a wholesome
meal, alleviating any immediate hunger.
However, the act of conjuring this feast drains your
own reserves, causing you to suffer one level of
exhaustion as your energy is depleted. Exhaustion
represents the strain placed on your body due to the
spell's demanding nature and is a temporary
condition that can be cured with rest and
recuperation.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When you cast Loaves and Fishes using a spell slot
of 2nd level or higher, the number of creatures
affected by the spell increases. For each slot level
above 1st, you can target an additional number of
creatures equal to your spellcasting ability modifier,
allowing you to share the feast with a larger group.
However, the level of exhaustion inflicted on you
remains the same, as the spell's drain on your
reserves remains constant.
Name: Aquastride
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 1st-Level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Aquastride is a spell that taps into the elemental
forces of water, granting the caster the extraordinary
ability to walk on water as if it were solid ground.
When you cast this spell, a shimmering arcane
energy envelops your feet, forming a translucent,
watery surface beneath them. As you step onto the
water, it supports your weight, allowing you to
traverse even the most treacherous waters without
Hexmaster
sinking.
During the spell's duration, you can move across any
body of water, including lakes, rivers, and even the
tumultuous seas, as effortlessly as walking on land.
The water retains its liquid appearance, but it
becomes solid beneath your feet, providing stable
footing. You can walk, run, or even jump on the
water, unaffected by its natural currents or
resistance.
The spell grants you unparalleled freedom and
mobility, allowing you to explore hidden islands,
cross perilous moats, or surprise enemies who never
expected someone to defy the laws of nature.
However, the spell comes with a cost. As the magic
wears off at the end of its duration, you are struck by
extreme fatigue, overwhelming your body and
reducing your movement speed to 0 for the next
hour. This fatigue is a consequence of the spell's
intense strain on your physical and magical energies,
requiring a period of rest and recovery.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When you cast Aquastride using a spell slot of 2nd
level or higher, the duration of the spell increases.
Each additional level beyond 1st extends the
duration by an additional minute, allowing you to
enjoy the benefits of walking on water for a longer
period. However, the subsequent fatigue remains the
same, reducing your movement speed to 0 for an
hour regardless of the spell slot used.
Name: Life's Resurgence
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 2
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Target: One creature that has died within the last
minute
Components: Verbal, somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Life's Resurgence is a powerful spell that taps into
the intricate balance between life and death. When
cast, the Visionary reaches out with their hands,
channeling a surge of vibrant energy into the lifeless
body of a creature that has passed away no more
than a minute ago. This surge of magic rekindles the
spark of life within the creature, bringing it back to
785
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
the realm of the living.
As the Visionary completes the somatic components,
a warm, soothing light envelops the corpse,
permeating through the body with an ethereal glow.
In an instant, the creature's eyes flicker open, and a
gasp of air escapes its lips, as its heart starts to beat
once more. The revived creature returns to life with a
single hit point, their body healed of fatal injuries.
However, the cost of this miraculous resurrection is
not without sacrifice. The Visionary's own life force is
intricately tied to this spell, and as they channel the
magic, they feel their own vitality wane. The strain of
resurrecting the dead drains a significant amount of
their life force, temporarily reducing their maximum
hit points by half until they can replenish their
strength through a long rest.
Enhanced Effects:
When casting Life's Resurgence using a spell slot of
higher level, the spell's potency increases. If cast
using a 3rd-level spell slot, the revived creature
regains 2 hit points instead of 1. For each additional
level above 3rd, the revived creature regains an
additional hit point, to a maximum of 5 hit points
when cast using a 5th-level spell slot.
Name: Calming the Storm
School of Magic: Evocation
Level: 2nd-Level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (1-mile radius)
Target: Weather within a 1-mile radius
Components: Verbal, somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Calming the Storm is a powerful spell that allows the
caster to pacify and control the weather within a
substantial 1-mile radius. As the incantation is
spoken and intricate hand gestures are performed,
the mage taps into the very essence of the elements,
commanding the forces of nature.
Once the spell is cast, storms raging with thunder
and lightning begin to dissipate, clouds part, and rain
ceases to fall. Fires are extinguished, be they the
result of a natural blaze or conjured by malicious
intent. Turbulent winds are tamed and transformed
into gentle breezes that caress the land, soothing
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
any remaining agitation.
However, channeling such potent elemental energies
exacts a toll on the caster's physical and mental well-
being. The exertion required to bend the weather to
their will leaves the caster drained, burdening them
with one level of exhaustion. This magical fatigue
can be an obstacle to further spellcasting or physical
activities until the exhaustion is alleviated through
rest or magical means.
To fully harness the might of Calming the Storm, the
spell can be cast using a higher-level spell slot.
When cast as a 3rd-level spell or higher, the radius
of the calming effect expands, soothing an even
larger area. For each level above 2nd, the radius
increases by an additional mile, offering respite to an
extended range of land and skies.
Name: Miracle of Abundance
School of Magic: Conjuration
Level: 2
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: V, S, M (a tiny silver spoon worth 10
gold pieces)
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
With the Miracle of Abundance, you tap into the
forces of conjuration to create a magnificent feast
that is sufficient to feed 15 creatures for a full day. As
you begin casting the spell, your surroundings
shimmer with a warm, golden light, and a
mouthwatering aroma fills the air. The table before
you materializes, adorned with a lavish spread of
succulent dishes and delicacies from across the
realms.
The feast includes an assortment of perfectly roasted
meats, tender vegetables, exotic fruits, aromatic
bread, rich cheeses, and decadent desserts. The
dishes are flawlessly seasoned, their flavors melding
in a symphony of culinary delight. Each morsel is
infused with a touch of magic, ensuring not only
satiation but also nourishment for those who partake.
As the spell completes, the feast remains tangible for
24 hours, providing sustenance to any creature
786
Hexmaster
within its range. The enchantment imbued in the food
sustains the creatures, rendering them free from
hunger and thirst. Even those with dietary restrictions
or specific tastes will find a bounty of suitable options
available. The feast also adapts to cater to individual
preferences, adjusting its flavors and textures to suit
the palate of each creature.
However, the tremendous exertion required to
manifest such abundance takes a toll on you. After
casting the spell, you feel a draining sensation as
your body absorbs the energy needed for the
miracle. You become famished and immediately
suffer one level of exhaustion. This exhaustion
reflects the strain placed on your physical and
magical reserves.
Enhanced Effects:
When you cast Miracle of Abundance using a spell
slot of 3rd level or higher, the feast created can
sustain an additional 5 creatures for each slot level
above 2nd. Additionally, the duration of the feast
increases by 24 hours for each slot level above 2nd.
However, the level of exhaustion you suffer remains
the same, as the energy required to manifest the
feast remains unchanged.
Name: Healing Resurgence
School of Magic: Restoration
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Target: One willing creature
Components: Verbal, somatic, material (a small vial
of holy water)
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Healing Resurgence is a powerful spell of restoration
that allows you to channel divine energy into a willing
creature, bringing about a miraculous recovery. By
invoking the forces of life and vitality, you can mend
wounds, cure diseases, and dispel curses. However,
casting this spell comes at a great cost to your own
well-being.
To cast Healing Resurgence, you must first find a
willing creature within your reach. As you utter the
sacred incantations and perform intricate gestures,
you touch the creature, infusing them with divine
energy. This energy flows through their body,
Hexmaster
revitalizing their very essence.
The effects of Healing Resurgence are twofold.
Firstly, the spell restores a significant amount of hit
points to the target, rejuvenating their body and
closing their wounds. The amount healed is
determined by rolling 5d8, resulting in a range of
possible values from 5 to 40 hit points restored. This
surge of vitality reinvigorates the target, providing
immediate relief and renewed strength.
Furthermore, Healing Resurgence possesses the
remarkable ability to remove any diseases or curses
that afflict the target. Whether it be a crippling illness
or a malevolent enchantment, the divine energy
dispels the negative effects, leaving the recipient
cleansed and purified. This includes diseases that
sap the target's strength or impose harmful
conditions upon them, as well as curses that haunt
their every action.
However, the casting of Healing Resurgence
demands a great sacrifice from the caster. In order to
channel such potent restorative power, you must
offer a substantial portion of your own life force. As a
result, upon casting the spell, you lose half of your
current hit points. This sacrifice symbolizes the
selflessness and dedication required to wield such
divine magic.
Additionally, the effects of Healing Resurgence can
be amplified by casting the spell using a higher level
spell slot. For each slot level above 3rd, the amount
of hit points restored increases by an additional 1d8.
This allows for even greater healing potential and
ensures that the spell remains relevant and potent as
you grow in power.
Name: Rebirth
School of Magic: Necromancy
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, somatic, material (a small
diamond worth at least 300 gp, which is consumed
by the spell)
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description: Rebirth is a powerful spell that allows a
Visionary to bring a deceased creature back to life,
787
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
granting them a second chance at existence. By
touching the lifeless body of the creature, the
Visionary channels a surge of magical energy that
restores the fallen creature to life with full hit points.
Upon casting Rebirth, a burst of radiant energy
emanates from the Visionary's hands, enveloping the
lifeless body in a pulsating aura of light. The
creature's wounds mend, their features regain color,
and a newfound vitality courses through their veins.
They gasp for air, their eyes flickering open as the
spark of life returns.
However, the casting of this spell exacts a terrible toll
on the Visionary. The act of harnessing such potent
magic drains the Visionary's own life force, causing
their maximum hit points to be reduced by half until
they finish a long rest. The strain on their body and
mind from manipulating the forces of life and death is
profound, leaving them weakened and vulnerable.
The reborn creature owes their renewed existence to
the sacrificial act of the Visionary. They might feel a
deep sense of gratitude or a burden of indebtedness
toward the caster, and the bond between them can
evolve into a profound connection or obligation.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When cast using a 4th-level spell slot or higher, the
Visionary can target an additional creature for each
slot level above 3rd. However, the toll on the
Visionary remains the same, reducing their maximum
hit points by half.
Name: Ascension
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Target: One willing creature
Components: Verbal, somatic, material (a feather
from a celestial creature)
Duration: 1 hour
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Ascension is a powerful transmutation spell that
allows you to temporarily bestow the gift of flight
upon a creature. As you cast the spell, you channel
the arcane energies and touch the willing creature,
infusing them with the ability to soar through the
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
skies. The magic permeates their being, altering their
physical form to grant them wings of ethereal light
that shimmer with radiant energy.
Once the spell takes effect, the recipient feels an
incredible sense of freedom and weightlessness as
they effortlessly ascend into the air. They gain a
flying speed equal to their walking speed for the
duration of the spell, allowing them to navigate the
three-dimensional realm with grace and agility. They
can hover, ascend, or descend as they wish,
maneuvering through the air as naturally as a bird.
However, the casting of Ascension exacts a heavy
toll on the caster. The immense energy required to
bend reality and grant flight drains your own life
force, leaving you utterly exhausted. Immediately
after casting the spell, you fall unconscious for a
variable duration of 1d4 hours, as your body and
mind recuperate from the magical exertion.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When casting Ascension using a spell slot of 4th
level or higher, the duration of the flight increases by
an additional hour for each level above 3rd.
Additionally, the recipient gains a flying speed equal
to twice their walking speed, allowing them to cover
greater distances with enhanced speed and grace.

Hexmaster
have a Wisdom score of 13 or higher.
Appearance: A typical Wildshaper embodies the
wildness of Maxxia. They often have an aura of
untamed energy, with natural features like leaf-
shaped hair, bark-like skin, or eyes shimmering with
a hint of elemental power. Their attire is a blend of
practicality and reverence for nature, adorned with
intricate patterns of leaves, animal motifs, and
materials sourced from the environment they inhabit.
Limitations: While Wildshapers possess a wide
array of abilities, their power is intrinsically linked to
the environment. In barren or heavily urbanized
areas, their abilities may be less effective or limited.
Additionally, using Wild Shape consumes their
energy and requires time to replenish, limiting its
frequent usage.
Organizations:
1. Order of the Verdant Grove: A secretive group of
druids and Wildshapers dedicated to preserving the
delicate balance between nature and civilization.
They work to heal corrupted lands, fend off
destructive forces, and uncover the ancient secrets
hidden beneath Maxxia's surface.
2. The Storm Wardens: An organization of
elementalists and weather manipulators who
recognize the Wildshapers' affinity for the natural
forces of Maxxia. They often collaborate during major
catastrophes and share knowledge about controlling
and channeling the primal energies of the world.
3. The Techno-Arcanists: A faction of scholars and
inventors fascinated by the intersection of science
and magic. While their methods differ from those of
the Wildshapers, they recognize the potential
synergy and seek to harness the untamed magic of
Maxxia for technological advancements.
Notable Users:
- Elysia the Elemental Shaper: A legendary
Wildshaper who harnessed the essence of the
elemental planes to control devastating storms and
conjure fearsome creatures of pure energy. Her
exploits include saving entire regions from
cataclysmic natural disasters and leading the
defense against extraplanar invasions.
- Thalador the Ancient: An enigmatic Wildshaper who
has spent centuries exploring the depths of Maxxia
and unraveling the mysteries of its past. It is said that
Thalador has attained a state of perfect balance with
the world, seamlessly transitioning between human
and animal forms at will.

affinity for plant life. Liara has become renowned for
creating lush and vibrant gardens in even the
harshest environments, spreading life and hope in
the darkest corners of Maxxia.
Adventure Hooks:
1. The Call of the Primal Nexus: A powerful
disturbance in the heart of Maxxia signals the
awakening of a long-dormant primal nexus, a source
of immense magical energy. The Wildshapers are
called upon to investigate, uncovering ancient
secrets and defending against factions seeking to
exploit the nexus for their own purposes.
2. The Elemental Plague: Unnatural elemental
creatures plague the lands, ravaging the countryside
and disrupting the delicate balance of Maxxia. The
Wildshapers are tasked with discovering the source
of this corruption and finding a way to restore
harmony before the world is torn apart.
3. The Great Transformation: A cataclysmic event
threatens to reshape the entire world of Maxxia,
triggering widespread chaos and upheaval. The
Wildshapers must navigate treacherous terrains,
confront ancient evils, and rally allies from various
factions to prevent the imminent disaster.
Variants:
- Primal Guardians: A sub-variant of Wildshapers
with a focus on protecting and defending the natural
world. They gain additional defensive abilities and
can summon primal spirits to aid them in battle.
- Voidweavers: Rare Wildshapers who tap into the
mysterious void energy that permeates the cosmos.
They can bend reality, traverse between dimensions,
and harness the power of dark matter and antimatter.
Comments (by Malidrex the Twisted Witch):
Ah, the Wildshapers, masters of transformation and
guardians of nature's fury. While some may dismiss
their abilities as primitive, these druids embrace the
untamed power of Maxxia and channel it with awe-
inspiring results. Their connection to the primal
forces and shape-shifting prowess make them a
force to be reckoned with. Whether they summon
raging storms or assume the form of majestic beasts,
Wildshapers embody the relentless spirit of this
world. It is said that when the Wildshapers gather,
even the most desolate lands can flourish with life,
and the whispers of forgotten secrets echo through
the wind.
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Spell List:
Cantrips
Sanguine Vortex of Thorny Reclamation: Summons
a whip-like tendril of thorns to strike a target, dealing
piercing damage and pulling them closer. However,
the thorns cause bleeding wounds, dealing ongoing
damage until the target receives magical healing or
passes a Constitution saving throw.
Frostbite: A blast of cold energy freezes the target,
dealing cold damage and reducing their speed.
However, the intense cold also affects the caster,
causing them to suffer temporary reduction in
Dexterity until they take a short rest.
Ember Spark: Ignites a small flame that can be used
to light objects or scorch enemies. The spell
consumes the caster's vitality, reducing their
maximum hit points until they complete a long rest.
1st Level Spells
Storm's Fury: Summons a localized storm that strikes
the area with lightning, dealing lightning damage to
all creatures in the vicinity. However, the spell draws
the attention of Maxxia's tempestuous elements,
making the caster more vulnerable to natural
hazards like sudden gusts of wind or thunderstorms
for a period of time.
Verdant Vigor: Infuses a target with the essence of
nature, granting temporary hit points and a bonus to
ability checks. However, the spell drains the life force
of the caster, causing them to suffer exhaustion
levels after its duration ends.
Magma Blast: Conjures a searing blast of molten
rock that explodes upon impact, dealing fire damage
in an area. However, the intense heat radiates from
790
Hexmaster
the caster as well, causing them to take ongoing fire
damage until they extinguish the flames.
2nd Level Spells
Wild Growth: Causes plants to rapidly grow and
entangle enemies within an area, restraining them.
However, the spell disrupts the natural balance of the
surroundings, causing the area to become barren
and lifeless for a period of time.
Ephemeral Form: Grants the caster the ability to
pass through solid objects and move unhindered for
1 hour. However, the spell temporarily weakens the
caster's physical body, reducing their Strength score
until they complete a long rest.
Frost Nova: Creates an intense blast of cold energy
that damages and slows enemies within its range.
However, the sudden drop in temperature leaves the
caster shivering uncontrollably, imposing
disadvantage on ability checks and saving throws
until they warm up.
3rd Level Spells
Blazing Sunbeam: Unleashes a concentrated beam
of sunlight that burns through enemies, dealing
radiant damage. However, the intense light causes
temporary blindness and sunburn to the caster,
imposing disadvantage on attack rolls and ability
checks that rely on vision until they receive magical
healing or complete a short rest.
Storm Avatar: Transforms the caster into a living
embodiment of a storm, granting resistance to
lightning and thunder damage and allowing them to
deal additional damage with lightning-based spells.
However, the storm's volatile nature makes the
caster more susceptible to critical hits from enemies.
Nature's Embrace: Calls upon the spirits of nature to
heal and revitalize the caster and their allies.
However, the spell establishes a profound
connection with the natural world, making the caster
more susceptible to psychic and necrotic damage
until they take a long rest.
Name: Circle Forms
Level: 1st
Description: The Wildshaper gains the ability to tap
into the primal magic of Maxxia, allowing them to
transform into different animal forms. These forms
are known as Circle Forms and represent the various
Hexmaster
circles of nature that the Wildshaper can attune
themselves to. Each Circle Form grants unique
abilities and characteristics, enhancing the
Wildshaper's versatility and adaptability.

assume the shape of a Circle Form they have
unlocked. They can choose from the following Circle

use their powerful claws to make devastating melee

number of hours equal to half their Wildshaper level
(rounded down). After that, they revert to their natural
form.
791
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
While in a Circle Form, the Wildshaper retains their
mental statistics but takes on the physical attributes
and natural abilities of the chosen animal form. They
cannot cast spells or use other class features that
require manual dexterity or speech.
The Wildshaper can choose to end their Circle Form
early using a bonus action. They also automatically
revert to their natural form if they fall unconscious,
drop to 0 hit points, or die.
At 2nd level and every level thereafter, the
Wildshaper unlocks a new Circle Form from the list
above or one of the more powerful forms available at
higher levels. They can choose any Circle Form they
don't already possess.
2nd Level:
Circle of the Storm: The Wildshaper transforms into a
crackling storm cloud, gaining the ability to hover and
move through the air. They can unleash lightning
bolts upon enemies, dealing damage in a line and
potentially paralyzing them. They also gain

magical darkness.
3rd Level:
Circle of the Dire Wolf: The Wildshaper takes on the
form of a fearsome dire wolf, gaining increased size,
strength, and natural armor. They become a
formidable melee combatant, capable of making
multiple attacks and potentially knocking enemies
prone.

a radiant spirit, emanating the beauty and brilliance
of the aurora borealis. They gain resistance to
radiant damage and can radiate an aura of

that damages enemies and grants temporary hit
points to allies.

form of a colossal treant, becoming a living

essence of rebirth and transformation, taking on the
form of a majestic phoenix. They gain a fly speed

into a colossal sea serpent, becoming a force to be
reckoned with in aquatic environments. They gain a

deal ongoing damage. They also gain the ability to
communicate telepathically with all creatures within a
certain radius.
Circle of the Eclipse: The Wildshaper becomes an
embodiment of the celestial forces, taking on the
form of a radiant being. They gain a fly speed,
darkvision, and resistance to radiant damage. They
can unleash beams of radiant energy that pierce
through enemies and weaken their defenses. They
also gain the ability to grant temporary hit points and
remove harmful conditions from allies with a touch.
Name: Elemental Attunement
Level: 2nd
Description: As a Wildshaper, you have developed
a deep attunement to the elemental forces of nature.
Through your connection with Maxxia's primal
energies, you gain the ability to channel and
manipulate the elements around you, allowing you to
influence the environment and harness their power
for various purposes.
Mechanics:
Elemental Channeling: You gain proficiency in the
Nature skill if you don't already have it. Additionally,
you can use your action to attune yourself to one of
the following elements: fire, water, air, or earth. This
attunement lasts for 1 hour and grants you specific
benefits depending on the chosen element:
Fire: Your spells and abilities that deal fire damage
have their damage dice increased by one step (e.g.,
d6 becomes d8). Additionally, you gain resistance to
fire damage.
792
Hexmaster
Water: You gain a swimming speed equal to your
current speed, and you can breathe both air and
water. You also gain advantage on ability checks and
saving throws made to resist being grappled or
restrained.
Air: Your movement speed increases by 10 feet, and
you gain a flying speed equal to your current speed.
You can hover while flying, and you have advantage
on Dexterity saving throws against effects that would
knock you prone.
Earth: Your hit point maximum increases by an
amount equal to your level, and you gain temporary
hit points equal to your Wisdom modifier at the start
of each of your turns.
Elemental Manipulation: While attuned to an
element, you can use your bonus action on
subsequent turns to manipulate the environment or
affect creatures within range. The range and effects
vary depending on the chosen element:
Fire: Range: 30 feet. You can create a small burst of
flames in a 10-foot radius, dealing 1d6 fire damage
to each creature in the area. The affected creatures
must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw against
your spell save DC to take half damage.
Water: Range: 60 feet. You can summon a torrent of
water to douse flames or create a calming effect.
You can extinguish non-magical flames within a 10-
foot cube, or you can create a soothing aura in a 20-
foot radius centered on a point you choose.
Creatures within the aura gain advantage on Wisdom
saving throws and resistance to psychic damage.
Air: Range: Self. You can create a localized gust of
wind around you, extending 15 feet in all directions.
The gust of wind extinguishes open flames,
disperses gas or vapor, and pushes away fog,
smoke, or similar effects. Additionally, you gain
advantage on Strength saving throws against being
moved or pushed.
Earth: Range: Self. You can cause the ground within
a 15-foot radius of you to become difficult terrain for
creatures other than yourself. Additionally, you gain
advantage on Strength checks and saving throws
made to resist being moved or knocked prone.
Note: You can only be attuned to one element at a
time. Attuning to a new element ends your
attunement with the previous one. You can use this
feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom
modifier (minimum of 1), and you regain all
expended uses after finishing a long rest.
Hexmaster
Name: Spirit Whisperer
Level: 3rd
Description: The Wildshaper's deep connection with
the spirits of Maxxia grants them the ability to
commune with the ethereal realm and harness its
magic. Through their Primal Magic feature, they gain
the power to communicate with and influence spirits,
providing them with valuable insights, aid, and
assistance.
Mechanics: The Wildshaper can spend 10 minutes
in meditation to enter a trance-like state and open
their mind to the ethereal plane. During this time,
they can communicate with benevolent spirits,
gaining knowledge and guidance from the spiritual
realm. This communication is not limited by language
barriers, as the Wildshaper can understand and be
understood by any spirit they encounter.
The Wildshaper can request information from the
spirits, seeking guidance on specific topics, such as
hidden locations, forgotten lore, or insights into
upcoming events. The spirits may share their
knowledge and provide cryptic hints or clues. The
effectiveness and accuracy of the information
obtained depend on the Wildshaper's Wisdom
modifier and the DM's discretion.
Additionally, the Wildshaper can form temporary
bonds with nature spirits, gaining their assistance in
various ways. By performing a ritual during a short
rest, the Wildshaper can summon a spirit to aid them
or their allies. The type of spirit summoned depends
on the environment and the Wildshaper's intentions.
For example, in a forest, they may summon a forest
spirit to guide them through dense foliage or grant
temporary camouflage. In a desert, a sand spirit
might help locate water sources or create a
temporary oasis.
The spirits summoned through this ability can
provide assistance in non-combat situations. They
can help the Wildshaper and their allies navigate
treacherous terrain, locate resources or hidden
treasures, and perform tasks related to survival,
travel, or exploration. The spirits' abilities are non-
offensive and are focused on enhancing the
Wildshaper's abilities outside of combat.
The Wildshaper's connection with the spirits of
Maxxia is deeply personal and unique. Their bond
allows them to establish a rapport with individual
793
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
spirits, forming lasting connections that can lead to
future alliances or aid. These relationships may
evolve over time, allowing the Wildshaper to call
upon specific spirits for assistance or to undertake
quests on their behalf.
The effectiveness and availability of the Spirit
Whisperer feature can be influenced by the
Wildshaper's actions and choices throughout their
adventures. By respecting and protecting nature,
showing kindness to spirits, and actively seeking
their guidance, the Wildshaper can strengthen their
bond with the ethereal realm, unlocking further
benefits and possibilities.
Note: The mechanics of this feature should be
discussed and adjusted in collaboration with the Hex
Master to ensure it aligns with the campaign setting
and maintains game balance.
Name: Nature's Resilience
Level: 4th
Description: Nature's Resilience is a class feature
that enhances the Wildshaper's connection with the
natural world, granting them increased durability and
the ability to draw upon the vitality of Maxxia's
ecosystems. This feature allows the Wildshaper to
endure harsh environments, recover from injuries
more swiftly, and foster the growth and restoration of
the surrounding flora and fauna.
Mechanics:
Natural Endurance: The Wildshaper gains advantage
on saving throws against extreme weather
conditions, such as extreme heat, cold, or storms.
Additionally, they have resistance to damage caused
by natural hazards like poison ivy, thorns, or harmful
spores.
Swift Recovery: The Wildshaper's connection with
the natural world accelerates their healing abilities.
Whenever they take a short rest, they regain hit
points equal to their hit die + their Constitution
modifier.
Renewal Ritual: By spending 10 minutes in quiet
communion with nature, the Wildshaper can invoke a
ritual that aids in the restoration of the surrounding
environment. This ritual can help heal blighted land,
purify polluted water, or revitalize ailing flora. The
effects of the ritual are as follows:
Healing Touch: The Wildshaper can restore a
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
number of hit points to a willing creature or plant
equal to their druid level x 5.
Purification: The Wildshaper can cleanse a body of
water within a 30-foot radius, removing toxins,
pollutants, and impurities. This purification process
makes the water safe to drink and revitalizes aquatic
life within it.
Restoration: The Wildshaper can reverse the effects
of blight or decay on a patch of land up to 30 feet in
diameter. This revitalizes the soil, allowing plants and
crops to thrive once again.
The Wildshaper can perform this ritual once per day,
and the effects last for 24 hours.
Guardian of the Wild: The Wildshaper's deep
connection to the natural world allows them to rally
and protect creatures who share their affinity for
Maxxia's ecosystems. Once per long rest, as an
action, the Wildshaper can summon a spirit
companion to aid them. The spirit takes the form of
an animal native to the region they are currently in
and acts as an ally to the Wildshaper and their party.
The spirit companion has the statistics of an animal
from the Druid's Wild Shape feature (up to the
Wildshaper's current Wild Shape limit).
The spirit companion shares the Wildshaper's
initiative count in combat and obeys their verbal
commands. It acts independently and has its own
actions, but it is friendly to the Wildshaper and their
allies.
The spirit companion remains active for 1 hour or
until it is reduced to 0 hit points. If the Wildshaper
loses concentration or dismisses the companion, it
disappears, and the Wildshaper must complete a
long rest before using this feature again.
This feature can be used outside of combat as well,
allowing the Wildshaper to have a loyal and helpful
animal companion by their side during exploration,
scouting, and other non-combat encounters.
Name: Everchanging Form
Level: 5th
Description: Everchanging Form represents the
culmination of the Wildshaper's mastery over shape-
shifting and their deep connection with the primal
forces of nature. At this level, they gain the ability to
794
Hexmaster
assume new and powerful forms, granting them
enhanced abilities and versatility in their wild shape
transformations.
Mechanics: When the Wildshaper reaches 5th level,
they gain access to additional forms they can
assume through their Wild Shape feature. These
forms, known as "Evolving Forms," offer unique
benefits and abilities beyond those of the Circle
Forms they initially acquired. The Wildshaper can
choose two Evolving Forms from the list provided
below. Each Evolving Form can be used once per
long rest.
Stormwing: The Wildshaper transforms into a
majestic and agile avian creature imbued with the
power of storms. While in this form, they gain a fly
speed of 60 feet, resistance to lightning damage, and
the ability to conjure gusts of wind as an action. The
gusts of wind can be used to disperse fog, extinguish
flames, knock down creatures, or manipulate
lightweight objects within 30 feet.
Ironhide: The Wildshaper assumes the form of a
hulking, armored beast with impenetrable skin. While
in this form, they gain temporary hit points equal to
their druid level + their Wisdom modifier at the start
of each turn. Additionally, they have advantage on
Strength-based ability checks and saving throws,
and their unarmed strikes deal an additional 1d6
bludgeoning damage.
Crystalgaze: The Wildshaper transforms into a
shimmering crystalline creature, attuned to the
earth's energy. While in this form, they gain
tremorsense with a range of 30 feet, allowing them to
detect vibrations and movement through solid
objects. They also gain resistance to psychic
damage, and their touch can temporarily petrify
creatures on a failed Constitution saving throw.
Tideborne: The Wildshaper assumes the form of a
fluid and elusive aquatic creature, perfectly adapted
to underwater environments. While in this form, they
gain a swim speed equal to their walking speed and
the ability to breathe underwater. They also gain
resistance to cold damage and can cast the Control
Water spell once, without requiring concentration or
material components. The spell's effects are limited
to manipulating water currents, creating waves, or
parting bodies of water.
Note: The Wildshaper can assume their chosen
Evolving Form as part of their Wild Shape feature,
Hexmaster
using the usual limitations and durations associated
with it. The chosen form replaces their Circle Forms
for that use.
Wildshaper Spells
Name: Sanguine Vortex of Thorny Reclamation
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 0
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Constitution
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
This spell hails from the ancient practices of eldritch
druids who once roamed the forgotten woods of
Ygg'Nael, a realm straddled between the material
plane and the ethereal. Inspired by the voracious
greenery of these mystical woods, these druids
honed a spell that epitomizes the ruthless nature of
the thorny undergrowth, reaching out to grasp and
reclaim life energy for the forest.
Upon casting the Sanguine Vortex of Thorny
Reclamation, the spell weaver must voice the Old
Tongue incantation of Ygg'Nael and make a forceful
gesture toward their intended target. In response to
these stimuli, the ether ripples and distorts, tearing
open a brief rift to the spiritual echo of the primeval
forest of Ygg'Nael. Through this rift, a tendril of
spectral thorns lashes out, manifesting physically just
long enough to ensnare the target.
The tendril strikes with uncanny precision, dealing
1d6 piercing damage. Its spectral thorns, sharper
and harder than any physical counterpart, pierce
through the target's armor and flesh with ease. The
target is then pulled 10 feet closer to the caster,
ensnared by the barbed tendril of forest spirit and
tormented by the echo of an ancient, merciless
wilderness.
Moreover, the spectral thorns imbue the target with a
unique curse, symbolizing the forest's unending
hunger for life. As the spell's name suggests, it
creates a sanguine vortex, a metaphorical whirlpool
of life force that causes bleeding wounds. The target
takes 1d4 ongoing damage at the start of each of its
795
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
turns due to bleeding until it receives magical healing
or passes a Constitution saving throw at the end of
its turn. The save DC is determined by the caster's
spellcasting ability modifier.
Given the base nature of this spell and the deep-
rooted connection it shares with the primal energies
of Ygg'Nael, the Sanguine Vortex of Thorny
Reclamation does not offer the target any form of
spell resistance. Even creatures normally resistant to
magic can be caught by the forest's spiritual whip.
While this spell, being of 0-level, does not gain
enhanced effects when cast using a higher-level
spell slot, its intensity and manifestation can be
affected by the caster's connection with the natural
world, their personal power, and their intent. A
seasoned spell weaver might summon a larger, more
menacing tendril, while a novice might only manage
a wispy vine. Regardless of the caster's ability, the
Sanguine Vortex of Thorny Reclamation remains a
potent tool in their arsenal, reminding all who face it
of the relentless, devouring will of the ancient forest
of Ygg'Nael.
Name: Frostbite
School of Magic: Evocation
Level: 0
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Constitution saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description: Frostbite is a chilling cantrip that
harnesses the power of icy magic. When you cast
this spell, you unleash a blast of freezing cold energy
towards a single target within range. The target must
make a Constitution saving throw or suffer the frosty
consequences.
Upon a failed saving throw, the target takes 1d6 cold
damage as their body succumbs to the freezing cold.
In addition, their movement speed is reduced by 10
feet until the end of their next turn. This chilling effect
hampers their ability to maneuver gracefully, limiting
their mobility.
However, the intense cold of Frostbite affects not
only the target but also the caster. After casting this
spell, the caster experiences a temporary reduction
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
in their own Dexterity score by 1 until they take a
short rest. The frigid energy drains a bit of the
caster's own agility, leaving them feeling somewhat
sluggish.
Enhanced Effects:
When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 1st level
or higher, the cold damage increases by 1d6 for
each slot level above the 0 level. For example,
casting Frostbite using a 2nd-level spell slot would
deal 2d6 cold damage to the target.
Name: Ember Spark
School of Magic: Evocation
Level: 0
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Target: One object or creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Dexterity saving throw (half damage)
Spell Resistance: No
Description: Ember Spark is a basic but versatile
spell that allows the caster to ignite a small flame. By
channeling their inner fire, the caster creates a tiny
spark that can be used to light objects or scorch
enemies. When casting the spell, the caster extends
their hand and focuses their energy, causing a
flickering ember to appear on their fingertips. With a
gentle touch, they transfer the spark to the desired
target, which can be an object or a creature within
reach.
When used to light objects, Ember Spark functions
as a miniature torch. The ignited object remains
aflame for a duration of one hour, providing a warm
and steady light source. It is particularly useful in
dimly lit environments, such as dungeons or
nighttime expeditions. The spell's flame can be
extinguished by mundane means, such as blowing it
out or dousing it with water.
When used offensively against enemies, the spark
transforms into a small burst of fiery energy upon
contact. The target must make a Dexterity saving
throw to avoid the flames. On a failed save, they
suffer a minor burn, taking 1d4 fire damage. On a
successful save, the target manages to evade most
of the flames, halving the damage.
796
Hexmaster
While Ember Spark may seem harmless, its usage
exacts a toll on the caster's vitality. The intense focus
and energy required to produce the flame causes a
temporary reduction in the caster's maximum hit
points. This reduction lasts until the caster completes
a long rest, during which their body rejuvenates and
regains its full potential.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When casting Ember Spark using a spell slot of 1st
level or higher, the damage inflicted by the spell
increases by 1d4 for each level above 0. For
example, if cast as a 1st-level spell, Ember Spark
deals 2d4 fire damage, and if cast as a 2nd-level
spell, it deals 3d4 fire damage. However, the
reduction in maximum hit points remains the same,
unaffected by the spell slot level.
Name: Storm's Fury
School of Magic: Evocation
Level: 1st-Level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: 10-foot radius sphere
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Dexterity half
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Storm's Fury is a spell that taps into the raw power of
the tempestuous elements of Maxxia, unleashing a
localized storm of lightning upon the area. As you
utter the ancient incantation and gesture with
precision, dark clouds gather above, crackling with
electric energy. Suddenly, lightning bolts spiral down
from the heavens, striking all creatures within the
vicinity of the targeted area.
Each creature in the 10-foot radius sphere must
make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 2d6
lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much
damage on a successful one. The crackling energy
of the lightning illuminates the area, revealing details
often overlooked. However, be cautious, for this spell
draws the attention of Maxxia's tempestuous
elements, making the caster more vulnerable to
natural hazards.
For a period of 1 hour after casting Storm's Fury, the
caster becomes more susceptible to the whims of
Maxxia's weather. Sudden gusts of wind may knock
the caster off balance, requiring them to make
Dexterity checks to maintain their footing.
Hexmaster
Thunderstorms are inexplicably drawn to the caster's
location, forcing them to seek shelter or endure the
drenching rain. The exact nature and severity of
these natural hazards depend on the environment
and the mood of Maxxia herself.
Enhanced Effect: When casting Storm's Fury using a
spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage
increases by 1d6 for each level above 1st.
Additionally, the radius of the spell expands by 5 feet
for each level above 1st, affecting a larger area and
striking more adversaries with the wrath of Maxxia's
lightning. However, the vulnerability to natural
hazards persists for the same duration, reminding
the caster of the power they have invoked and the
price they must pay for wielding it.
Name: Verdant Vigor
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 1st-level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Touch
Target: One creature
Components: V, S, M (a sprig of mistletoe)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Verdant Vigor is a spell that taps into the ancient
forces of nature, allowing the caster to infuse a target
with the vibrant essence of the natural world. As the
spell is cast, the air around the caster becomes filled
with a subtle, earthy fragrance, carrying the whispers
of the forest.
Upon touching the target creature, a surge of vitality
courses through their veins, granting them temporary
hit points and enhancing their natural abilities. The
target gains temporary hit points equal to 1d6 + the
caster's spellcasting ability modifier. These hit points
represent the revitalizing energy of nature flowing
within them, providing a buffer against harm.
In addition to the temporary hit points, the target also
gains a bonus to ability checks equal to the caster's
proficiency bonus. This infusion of nature's essence
heightens their senses, reflexes, and intuition,
enabling them to perform tasks with enhanced
precision and clarity.
However, the cost of channeling this powerful spell is
not without consequence. As the spell's duration
797
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
ends, the life force of the caster becomes drained,
resulting in exhaustion levels. The caster gains one
level of exhaustion when the spell's duration expires.
The strain of harnessing nature's energy takes a toll
on their body and mind, requiring them to rest and
recover before attempting further exertion.
When casting Verdant Vigor using a spell slot of 2nd
level or higher, the temporary hit points and bonus to
ability checks increase. For each slot level above 1st,
the temporary hit points increase by an additional
1d6, and the bonus to ability checks increases by an
additional +1.
Name: Magma Blast
School of Magic: Evocation
Level: 1st-Level
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Target: 10-foot radius sphere centered on a point
within range
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Dexterity saving throw half
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Magma Blast is a spell of fiery devastation that
harnesses the raw power of molten rock. As a
practitioner of the arcane arts, you conjure a searing
blast of molten rock that hurtles towards your target
location. The blast explodes upon impact, engulfing
the area in a torrent of scorching flames.
When you cast Magma Blast, you unleash a sphere
of intense heat and flames with a radius of 10 feet,
centered on a point you choose within range. The
molten rock surges forth, dealing fire damage to all
creatures caught within its searing embrace. The
damage inflicted is 2d6 fire damage, and each
creature in the area must make a Dexterity saving
throw. A successful save results in half damage, as
the victims manage to evade some of the scorching
flames.
However, the power of the spell comes at a cost. The
intense heat radiates not only outward but also back
to the caster. Once the Magma Blast is unleashed,
the flames cling to you, causing you to take ongoing
fire damage until you manage to extinguish the
flames. Each subsequent turn, at the start of your
turn, you take 1d4 fire damage until you or another
creature uses an action to douse the flames or put
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
them out through magical means. This fire damage
can be mitigated through resistance or immunity to
fire.
As you grow in power and your spellcasting ability
increases, the potency of the Magma Blast
intensifies. When you cast this spell using a spell slot
of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6
for each level above 1st. This allows you to unleash
an even more devastating torrent of molten rock,
engulfing your foes in blistering flames and wreaking
havoc upon them.
Name: Wild Growth
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 2
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Target: A 15-foot radius sphere centered on a point
within range
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a pinch of
soil)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
Saving Throw: Strength saving throw
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
As you utter the incantation and weave intricate
gestures in the air, a surge of mystical energy
courses through your body. A vibrant surge of
emerald energy emanates from your outstretched
hand, coalescing into a pulsating sphere of wild
energy that bursts upon reaching its destination.
Upon casting this spell, you choose a point within
range. A 15-foot radius sphere centered on that point
becomes filled with an explosion of untamed flora.
Thick, thorny vines rapidly sprout from the ground,
intertwining with each other and extending toward
any creatures within the area.
Each creature caught in the sphere must make a
Strength saving throw or become restrained by the
entangling vegetation. A restrained creature's speed
becomes 0, and it can't benefit from any bonus to its
speed. In addition, the creature takes 2d6 piercing
damage at the start of each of its turns as the thorns
tighten their grip.
The spell's disruptive nature, however, has
consequences. The natural balance within the
affected area is upset, causing the surrounding
plants to wither and die. The ground beneath
becomes barren and lifeless, devoid of any growth or
798
Hexmaster
vitality for a period of time, typically lasting a month.
Enhanced Effects:
When casting this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level
or higher, the radius of the sphere increases by 5
feet for each slot level above 2nd. The damage
inflicted by the thorns also increases by 1d6 for each
slot level above 2nd, delivering even more painful
retribution to those ensnared by the wild growth.
Name: Ephemeral Form
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 2
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: 1 minute
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Ephemeral Form is a wondrous spell that harnesses
the arcane powers of transmutation. As you cast this
spell, a surge of ethereal energy envelops your body,
granting you the extraordinary ability to pass through
solid objects and move unhindered for 1 hour.
When you activate Ephemeral Form, your physical
form becomes intangible, allowing you to effortlessly
phase through walls, doors, and any other solid
obstacles in your path. This ability can prove
invaluable for infiltrating heavily guarded areas or
evading pursuers with ease. As you move through
solid objects, they seem to ripple and distort around
you, revealing a faint shimmering trail in your wake.
However, this spell comes with a trade-off. While in
your ephemeral state, the strain on your physical
body weakens your muscles, reducing your Strength
score by 2 until you complete a long rest. This
temporary physical weakness is a small price to pay
for the extraordinary freedom of movement and
versatility granted by the spell.
For the duration of 1 minute, you can maintain your
ephemeral form, allowing you to seamlessly pass
through solid matter as if it were air. During this time,
you can navigate through walls, furniture, or even the
densest of forests without impediment. You can also
move through the surface of water or hover above
the ground without sinking or leaving any trace.
It is important to note that while in your ephemeral
Hexmaster
form, you cannot interact with the physical world
directly. You cannot attack or manipulate objects, as
your hands simply pass through them. However, you
can still communicate verbally and cast spells that do
not require physical contact or manipulation.
Name: Frost Nova
School of Magic: Evocation
Level: 2
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (15-foot radius)
Target: Creatures within range
Components: Verbal, somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Constitution half
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Frost Nova is a spell that harnesses the power of icy
cold energy, creating a dramatic and chilling effect.
When you cast this spell, you unleash a sudden blast
of intense cold energy from your body, enveloping
the area within a 15-foot radius centered on yourself.
The blast damages and slows down any enemies
caught within its range.
The blast deals 3d6 cold damage to each creature in
the area. A successful Constitution saving throw
reduces the damage by half. Creatures that fail the
saving throw also have their speed halved until the
end of their next turn as they struggle to move
through the numbing cold.
However, the chilling effect of Frost Nova takes a toll
on the caster as well. After casting the spell, your
body is overwhelmed by the sudden drop in
temperature, causing you to shiver uncontrollably.
This imposes disadvantage on all ability checks and
saving throws you make until you can warm up.
At Higher Levels:
When you cast Frost Nova using a spell slot of 3rd
level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for
each slot level above 2nd.
Name: Blazing Sunbeam
School of Magic: Evocation
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Target: One creature
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Instantaneous
799
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Saving Throw: Dexterity saving throw
Spell Resistance: Yes
Description:
Blazing Sunbeam is a spell that harnesses the power
of the sun to unleash a concentrated beam of radiant
energy upon a single target. As you begin casting the
spell, the air around you starts to shimmer with
radiant energy, and a blinding light emanates from
your outstretched hand. The light intensifies until it
coalesces into a focused beam resembling a
scorching solar lance.
With a swift motion, you direct the Blazing Sunbeam
toward your chosen target. The beam shoots forth
from your hand, streaking through the air with
incredible speed and accuracy. Upon reaching the
target, it engulfs them in searing radiance, causing
intense pain and damage.
The target must make a Dexterity saving throw to
dodge the beam's full force. On a failed save, they
suffer 4d6 radiant damage, or half as much on a
successful save. The sheer intensity of the radiant
energy leaves the target temporarily blinded, their
vision overwhelmed by the brilliance of the spell.
While Blazing Sunbeam grants you a potent
offensive tool, its power comes at a cost. As you
channel the intense light of the sun, your own body is
affected by the spell. After casting Blazing Sunbeam,
you suffer from temporary blindness and sunburn,
which imposes disadvantage on attack rolls and
ability checks that rely on vision. These effects
persist until you receive magical healing or complete
a short rest to recover from the sun's relentless
assault on your senses.
Enhanced Effects:
When casting Blazing Sunbeam using a spell slot of
4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for
each slot level above 3rd. Additionally, the duration
of the blindness and sunburn effects is extended by
1 hour for each slot level above 3rd. Be cautious,
though, as the enhanced power of the spell also
intensifies the strain on your body and increases the
difficulty of recovery.
Name: Storm Avatar
School of Magic: Transmutation
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self
Target: Self
Chapter 5 Advanced Classes
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Storm Avatar is a powerful transmutation spell that
allows the caster to transform into a living
embodiment of a storm. When casting this spell, dark
clouds gather overhead, crackling with electrical
energy. The air around the caster becomes charged
with anticipation as they undergo a dramatic
transformation.
Upon casting Storm Avatar, the caster's physical
form undergoes a profound change. Their body
becomes ethereal, with a faint outline resembling
swirling storm clouds. Their eyes glow with a brilliant
blue light, mirroring the intensity of a lightning bolt.
This transformation grants the caster resistance to
lightning and thunder damage, allowing them to
endure the destructive forces of the storm.
In addition to the protective benefits, the Storm
Avatar also enhances the caster's ability to harness
lightning-based spells. Any spells that deal lightning
damage cast by the avatar gain additional potency,
inflicting extra damage on their targets. The surging
power of the storm courses through the caster's
fingertips, allowing them to channel devastating bolts
of lightning towards their foes.
However, this powerful transformation comes at a
price. The storm's volatile nature makes the caster
more susceptible to critical hits from enemies. The
heightened energy surrounding the avatar acts as a
beacon, drawing the attention of adversaries who
see an opportunity to strike a devastating blow. The
caster must be cautious and rely on their lightning-
fast reflexes to mitigate the risks associated with this
spell.
As a 3rd-level spell, Storm Avatar provides
resistance to lightning and thunder damage, and
lightning-based spells cast by the avatar deal an
additional 1d6 damage. If cast using a spell slot of
4th level or higher, the additional damage increases
by 1d6 for each slot level above 3rd.
Spell Name: Nature's Embrace
School of Magic: Conjuration
Level: 3
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: Self (30-foot radius)
800
Hexmaster
Target: Self
Components: Verbal, Somatic, Material (a small vial
of water and a leaf from an ancient tree)
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
Description:
Nature's Embrace is a powerful spell that allows the
caster to call upon the spirits of nature, creating a
wave of rejuvenation and healing energy that
emanates from the caster and revitalizes them and
their allies within a 30-foot radius. As the caster
utters the incantation and gestures with the vial of
water and leaf, a shimmering aura of vibrant green
energy surrounds them, signifying the spell's
activation.
Once activated, the spell channels the life force of
the natural world, mending wounds and invigorating
those within its range. Each creature affected by the
spell, including the caster, regains hit points equal to
3d8 + the caster's spellcasting ability modifier.
Furthermore, any ongoing negative conditions, such
as poison or disease, affecting the creatures are
immediately cured, and fatigue is temporarily
alleviated, granting them advantage on their next
ability check or saving throw.
However, the connection established with the spirits
of nature comes at a cost. After casting Nature's
Embrace, the caster becomes more susceptible to
psychic and necrotic damage until they complete a
long rest. This vulnerability weakens the caster's
mental and spiritual defenses, making them more
susceptible to attacks that target their mind or drain
their life force.
Enhanced Spell Effects:
When Nature's Embrace is cast using a spell slot of
4th level or higher, the healing and revitalizing effects
are heightened. For each level above 3rd, the
healing increases by an additional 1d8, providing
even greater rejuvenation to the caster and their
allies. Additionally, the duration of the spell extends
to 1 minute per level above 3rd, granting an
extended period of healing and revitalization.
Hexmaster Chapter 6 Equipment

Chapter 6: Equipment
"Well now," Malidrex began, reclining in her throne of hexweave, the whispering strands shifting and swirling around her in
response to her movements, "This is where things get truly interesting. After all, an adventurer is nothing without the right
equipment, wouldn't you say?"

The magical illumination from her laboratory's alchemical globes danced and flickered, casting an array of fantastical
shadows. She leaned forward, her eyes glittering with mischievous light. "We’re about to delve into the intricate world of
Hexmaster's tools of the trade. Fasten your metaphorical seat belts, for the details here aren't to be skimmed over!"

A groan echoed from the far corner of the lab where the Magus's Mirror sat atop an ornate mahogany stand. "Really,
Malidrex, must you always be so theatrical? It's just equipment after all." The mirror's reflective surface shimmered, a
silver ripple traveling across it as if expressing its disdain.

Malidrex shot a pointed look in the mirror's direction, an amused smile playing at the corners of her mouth. "Oh, come
now, Mirror. These 'simple tools' can be the difference between slaying the dragon and ending up as a scaly barbecue.
You wouldn't understand, given that the only danger you face is a smudge or a chip."

A delighted chortle erupted from the Book of Eldritch Shadows lying open on the workbench. Its ancient pages ruffled in a
gust of spectral wind. "Oh, burn!" the tome cackled, "Get it, Mirror? Burn? Because of the dragon..."

"The humor around here is absolutely abysmal," the Magus's Mirror grumbled, its surface darkening for a moment.

Unperturbed, Malidrex continued. "Hexmaster's equipment—be it weapons, armor, or adventuring gear—is quite unlike
anything you'd find in your average fantasy role-playing game. We aren't limited to just swords and shields. No, my dear
friends, our compendium boasts over 8200 unique items, ranging from humble daggers to enchanted artifacts, and from
arcane instruments to technology so advanced, it might as well be magic."

She picked up a sparkling amulet from her workbench, it seemed to pulse with an otherworldly glow. "Take this Fluxion
Pendant, for instance. In the hands of an unskilled novice, it's nothing more than a fancy trinket. But in the hands of a
seasoned adventurer, it can bend the very fabric of reality, sending one tumbling through the streams of time or space."

The Book of Eldritch Shadows' parchment pages rustled as if chuckling. "How many times have you accidentally ended
up in the wrong era with that thing again?"

Malidrex frowned, "No more than... eight or nine. Or was it twelve? Anyway, not the point. My point is that Hexmaster’s
wide array of gear means that every player can carve their own unique path. They can be a sword-swinging hero, an
arcane scholar, a cunning trickster, or even an interstellar explorer.”

The Magus's Mirror rippled, its surface flickered and reflected a vision of Malidrex sporting a collection of high-tech
gadgets. “I suppose even an eccentric, unpredictable alchemist with an alarming fondness for chaos and questionable
shortcuts could find something fitting in our arsenal?”

“Precisely, Mirror! We cater to all, even the cynically sarcastic mirrors of the world. And of course, we mustn’t forget the
more mundane and practical items like ropes, torches, and... who could forget the indispensable 10-foot pole?”

Chuckling, Malidrex turned back to her audience. “Whether you're building a towering castle or seeking the arcane
mysteries of the cosmos, every adventurer needs the right equipment for the job. And you’ll find it here in Hexmaster. With
so many options, you'll likely stumble upon new, unexpected uses for your gear—much like I did with the Fluxion
Pendant."

“The Fluxion Pendant incident!” The Book of Eldritch Shadows roared with laughter, “Ah, I remember. When you ended up
stuck in a time loop, reliving the same five minutes over and over again for three days straight. You really do have a flair
for accidental discovery, Malidrex.”

With a sheepish grin, Malidrex shook her head, "Well, that's one way to learn, isn't it? Now, let's get down to business and
delve deeper into the world of Hexmaster's equipment, shall we?"
