# The Mesmer
A human dressed in fancy clothes walks quietly through the battlefield looking directly to the orc shaman in front of him. The orc rises his arms and starts to shout an arcane spell. A small ball of fire appears in his hands, and with each word the ball grows larger and larger. When the fireball was ready to be released, the human points the orc while he quickly whispers some words, and just a second before the fireball is released, it disappears in the air, and the human starts to walk again towards the confused orc.

The gnome examines a large room, filled with empty crates and dusty tables. After a few minutes, she closes her eyes and touches the ground to cast a spell. A few seconds pass, and in a blink of an eye, the whole room is transformed into a clean room, the crates are filled with weapons and in one of the tables appears a complete map of the city and some letters with orders for transporting illegal products. The gnome takes the map and the letters and exit to the street in direction to the local authorities headquarter.

The elf walks to the mansion entrance. He didn't know the guards, but that wasn't a problem. When he reaches the gate, he finishes to whisper an incantation, and then both guards salute him and opens the door. The elf smiles and enter to the mansion.

Whether an adventurer, an investigator or an infiltrator, a mesmer controls the energy to manipulate minds, create illusions and interrupt the flow of magic to stop a magical effect or spell.

### Energy Manipulators
For the common folk, a mesmer is an illusionist that came from a circus who can create illusions and play tricks in the mind of its audience for entertainment. Even though mesmers can do that kind of tricks, they are more powerful than just a local magician, and only a few knows or have seen the true power of mesmers. They use the energy surrounding every living entity and canalizes it to cast powerful spells, create illusions, and striking the mind. They are constantly storing energy and releasing it with each spell they cast, maintaining the balance between the living creatures around them, unless they decide to destroy the energy from a particular foe, causing devastating mind strikes, and in some cases, draining its energy.

Similar to wizards, mesmers studies the energy of the living and manipulate the arcane essence of it to use it as they need. Every mesmer school specialize in teaching and discovering new ways to use the mesmer magic traditions: domination, dueling, illusion and inspiration.

### Covert Agents and Investigators
When an empire or guild can't send a thief or an assassin to a place to collect information, they send a mesmer to gather what they need. Mesmers can enter and leave a place like nothing happened thanks to its illusions and trickery. Their ability to disguise themselves and to distract foes using mind tricks makes them the perfect infiltrators in stealthy tasks.

In other cases, they work with local authorities to investigate unknown occurrences where magic is or may be involved, and for tracking down dangerous spellcasters due its ability to control the energy used in spells, interrupting their foes before they can cast a spell.

### Combat Illusionists
Mesmers are masters of illusion and control, subverting the enemy’s energy for their own use, and that of their allies. Combined with any other profession, their skills provide excellent support, turning enemies’ powers against them and changing the very fabric of reality to hinder foes and help allies. Mesmers have the ability to cast spells quickly, which can make all the difference in the heat of battle. Their powers of domination allow them to take control of enemy skills and energy. Their unique illusionary talents can slow or even halt enemy movement and skill casting, or cause imaginary illnesses that drain health and energy from foes while healing and energizing allies. While Mesmers are not known for brute strength, their abilities to confuse, distract, and drain the enemy’s resources more than compensates.

### Creating a Mesmer
Creating a mesmer requires a backstory related to one mesmer traditions. As a starting character, you'll choose a mesmer tradition that will guide how you use the energy, but the exact moment of discovery is up to you to decide. Perhaps you belong to a mesmer family Maybe you discovered that you can somewhat control that energy? Someone taught you the basics of the mesmer magic? You learned some illusion tricks for entering the local circus? Did you attend a mesmer school where you studied a mesmer tradition and practiced your incantations? Did you were an apprentice investigator for a small town?

#### Quick Build
You can make a mesmer quickly by following these suggestions. First, Charisma should be your highest ability score, followed by Dexterity. Second, choose the entertainer or the Investigator background. Third, choose the *Energy bolt* and *Minor illusion* cantrips. (You can find the investigator background in the *Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide*)

\columnbreak

## Class Features
As a mesmer, you gain the following class features
#### Hit Points
___
- **Hit Dice:** 1d6 per mesmer level
- **Hit Points at 1st Level:** 6 + your Constitution modifier
- **Hit Points at Higher Levels:** 1d6 (or 4) + your Constitution modifier per mesmer level after 1st

#### Equipment
You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background:

- An arcane focus, a dagger and an entertainer's pack

### Mesmer Casting
With the manipulation of the energy flowing in you and in the other creatures, you learned a way to use the magic based on that energy. See chapter 10 of the *Player's Handbook* for the general rules of spellcasting. The mesmer spell list is at the end of this supplement.

#### Energy Points
The Mesmer table shows how many energy points you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. Each spell has a point cost based on its level. Instead of gaining a number of spell slots to cast your spells from the Mesmer Magic feature, you gain a pool of energy points instead. You expend a number of energy points to create a spell slot of a given level, and then use that slot to cast a spell. You can't reduce your energy points total to less than 0, and you regain all spent energy points when you finish a long rest.

**Spells of 5th level and lower are the common spells a mesmer will cast.** You can use energy points to create a maximum of three slots of each level of 5th or lower per long rest.

**Spells of 6th level and higher are particularly taxing to cast.** You can use energy points to create one slot of each level of 6th or higher. You can't create another slot of the same level until you finish a long rest.

The number of energy points you have to spend is based on your level as a spellcaster, as shown in the Spell to Point Cost table. Your level also determines you maximum-level spell slot you can create. Even though you might have enough points to create a slot above this maximum, you can't do so.

#### Cantrips
At 1st level, you know two cantrips of your choice from the mesmer spell list. You learn additional mesmer cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Mesmer table.

#### Preparing and Casting Spells
You prepare the list of mesmer spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the mesmer spell list. When you do so, choose a number of mesmer spells equal to your Charisma modifier + your mesmer level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

For example, if you are a 3rd-level mesmer, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Charisma of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell *backfire*, you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells.

You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Prepairing a new list of mesmer spells requires time spent in concentration on the energy: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

#### Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your mesmer spells, since the power of your magic relies on your ability to use the energy within yourself and others living creatures. 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 mesmer spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

</div>
