Attuned to the Universe

In one way or another, you have a unique relationship with the universe and its inner workings. Whether it be through your dynamic state of mind, knack for magic manipulation, or strangely dependable reliance on luck, this relationship allows you to alter your life's course in the blink of an eye. Labels, social standing, and dire situations bear little meaning to a destine for this very reason.

Creating a Destine

When you create a destine, first consider how your character gained their ability to control fate. Did your character spend years meditating in an attempt to understand the underlying mechanics of the universe? Or was your character granted this ability by some entity unbeknownst to them? It is also important to consider how your character would plan on using said ability. Perhaps they intend on making a living out of it by reading fortunes. Or maybe your character wants to test the limits of their unique power - assuming such limits exist.

Multiclassing and The Destine
If your group uses the optional rule on multiclassing in the Player's Handbook, here's what you'll need to know to multiclass with the destine.

Ability Score Minimum. As a multiclass character, you must have a Wisdom score of at least 13 to take a level in this class, or to take a level in another class if you are already a destine.

Proficiencies Gained. If destine isn't your initial class, here are the proficiencies you gain when you take your first level in destine: light armor, simple weapons.

Spell Slots. Add half your levels (rounded up) in the destine class to the appropriate levels from other classes to determine your spell slots.

Cantrips (0-Level Spells)

In accordance with your newly formed attunement to magic, you have access to a small pool of arcane feats. At 2nd level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the destine spell list.

Preparing and Casting Spells

The Destine table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells. To cast one of your destine spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a spell slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

You prepare the list of destine spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the destine spell list. When you do so, choose a number of destine spells equal to your Wisdom modifier + half your destine level rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

For example, if you are a 5th level destine, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots with a Wisdom of 14, your list of prepared spells can include four spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell, faerie fire, you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell does not remove it from your list of prepared spells.

You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of destine spells requires time spent drawing on the universe's energy: at least one minute per spell level per spell on your list.

Spellcasting Ability

Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your destine spells, since a connection to the universe's energy requires an able mind. You can use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a destine spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two of your ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Destinies Tied

Beginning at 5th level, your malleable destiny is powerful enough sway the destinies of others. As a bonus action, you tie your destiny to a conscious creature that you can see within 120 feet of you. If the target is unwilling, they must make a Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC. On a successful save, the creature is unaware of your actions. On a failed save, their destiny is tied to yours.

If you tie your destiny to a friendly creature, your success strengthens their resolve. Each time you succeed on a saving throw, they regain a number of hit points equal to half your destine level. If you tie your destiny to an enemy, they take force damage equal to half your destine level each time you fail a saving throw. In either case, the saving throw cannot be one that a friendly creature forced you to make.

You may bind to only a single creature at any time. You remain bound until either you or the bound creature falls unconscious, you become separated by more than 5 miles, you and the bonded creature are no longer on the same plane, or you end the effect as a bonus action on your turn.

Possibility Window

Starting at 6th level, you can glimpse into the many possible realities that lie ahead. As a reaction to making an ability check that doesn’t use Intelligence, you can make a hypothetical roll before you make the actual roll, adding bonuses as normal. Depending on the result, your DM will give you a description of what would happen if you make that check with the outcome of the roll. You can then choose to take the outcome the DM described or do nothing. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

Spontaneous Intuition

As a being connected to all walks of life, you can draw upon an equally diverse pool of skills. Beginning at 10th level, when you finish a short or long reset, you gain two proficiencies of your choice: two tools, two skills, or one of each. The benefit lasts until you finish a short or long rest.

Tempting Fate

Your control over every situation’s outcome knows no bounds. At 14th level, there is no limit to the amount of times you can use your Twist of Fate feature to add fate points to a roll.

Crossroads of Destiny

At 18th level, you can now tie your destiny to up to two creatures using your Destinies Tied feature. Additionally, the damage and temporary hit points from Destinies Tied is now equal to your destine level.

Sealed Fate

At 20th level, the life force of your foes becomes dependent on your own. If you fall to or below 0 hit points while your destiny is tied to a hostile creature, they must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC or drop to 0 hit points. If they succeed on the saving throw, they take force damage equal to half of their remaining hit points.

Fortune of the Chancer

For one reason or another, fate has selected the Chancer as its living vessel. Unlike the other destine fortunes, the Chancer does not need to focus on their connection universe, as it is strengthened naturally. As such, these destines are prone to slipping into the realm of the carefree, and even taking their vast power for granted.

Chakras

When you choose this fortune at 3rd level, you gain the ability to tap into pools of energy located throughout your body. These focal points, known as chakras, enhance your senses and strengthen your connection to the universe once unlocked. You unlock a chakra of your choice, gaining its benefits. You unlock an additional chakra when you reach 5th level, and again at 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th, and 15th.

The seven chakras that can be unlocked are listed below.

Also at 3rd level, you establish yourself as a knowledgeable teacher, guiding people on their spiritual journeys. When you take the Help action to grant a creature advantage on an ability check, that creature gains a bonus to the roll equal to your proficiency bonus.

When you take a short rest, you may choose one friendly creature (which can include yourself). At the end of the short rest, that creature gains the following benefits:

• The creature gains temporary hit points equal to twice your destine level.
• The creature is cured of any madness afflicting it, and all effects that are causing it to be charmed or frightened end on it.
• The creature automatically succeeds on the next saving throw it makes before its next long rest.
