Shaman
A troll clad in loosely chained together plates and scales reaches her hand high towards storm clouds overhead. After a moment, a blinding streak of lightning arcs from the clouds to her hand, and from there it is sent arcing towards her enemies.
A pair of spectral wolves pursue a bandit captain through the forest. Emerging from behind them, another wolf of similar visage. The third wolf leaps at the bandit before shifting into a dwarf, wielding two fearsome axes. One dripping molten lava, the other crackling with blisteringly cold ice.
A brave orc strides towards Southshore from Tarren Mill. He raises his hands and begins to call water from a nearby river as he begins to shape it into restorative magic to heal the wounds of his allies as they battle the Alliance.
Shamans are mediators between the mortal world and the elements. They often act as spiritual guides and witch doctors in their communities. They are able to call to the spiritual realm as well, and because of that, pull knowledge and traditions from generations past. They are able to fill several roles within an adventuring group. Calling water and the tides to aid and heal their allies, or imbuing their weapons with elemental fury, and even firing bolts of lightning and calling down torrents of wind and fire on their enemies.
Elemental Callers
A Shaman's bond to their magic is unique. While a mage would study it in great depth, and a warlock would bend those same powers to their whim, a shaman calls upon the elements themselves for aid. They commune with forces not strictly benevolent -- sometimes they may respond, and sometimes they may choose not to. The elements are chaotic, chained away in their elemental plane as they rage against one another with unending primal fury. It is the call of the shaman to bring balance to this chaos.
These masters of the elements can also call upon elemental forces directly, unleashing torrents of lava and bolts of lightning against foes. The elements can create, destroy, support, and hinder. An experienced shaman balances the vast spectrum of these primordial forces into an array of diverse abilities, making shaman versatile adventurers and valued members of any group.
Creating a Shaman
When creating a shaman, consider how your bond with the elements have affected your personality and your view of the world. Although shamans resonate with all four primary elements, some tend to outwardly display aspects of one over the rest.
Think about your bond with your totems and how they represent the elemental planes from which you gain your power. Are they simply tools to you for channelling raw planar power, or are they sacred and worthy of reverence?
Do they act as representations of a favored element, or do you use them to keep that element in check? How a shaman perceives their connection to the elemental planes is often reflected in the totems they summon forth.

Class Features
As a shaman, you gain the following class features
Hit Points
- Hit Dice: 1d8 per shaman level

You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background:
- (a) any simple melee weapon and a shield
- (a) 4 javelins or (b) a shortbow and 20 arrows
- (a) leather armor, an explorer’s pack, and a totemic focus
Elemental Magic
As a medium of the elemental and spiritual realms, you can cast shaman spells. See chapter 10 in your player’s handbook for the general rules on spellcasting and the end of this document for the shaman class spell list.
Cantrips
You know three cantrips of your choice from the shaman spell list. You learn additional shaman cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the shaman table.
Spell Slots
The shaman table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your shaman spells of 1st through 5th level. The table also shows what the level of those slots is; all of your spell slots are the same level. To cast one of your shaman spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a spell slot. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a short or long rest.
For example, when you are 5th level, you have three 3rd-level spell slots. To cast the 1st-level spell witch bolt, you must spend one of those slots, and you cast it as a 3rd-level spell.
Spells Known of 1st Level or Higher
At 1st level, you know three 1st-level spells of your choice from the shaman spell list.
The Spells Known column of the shaman table shows when you learn more shaman spells of your choice of 1st level and higher. A spell you choose must be of a level no higher than what’s shown in the table’s Slot Level column for your level. When you reach 6th level, for example, you learn a new shaman spell, which can be 1st, 2nd, or 3rd level.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the shaman spells you know and replace it with another spell from the shaman spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
Spell Casting Ability
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your shaman spells, so you 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 shaman spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
Totemic Focus
You can use a totemic focus as a spellcasting focus for your shaman spells.
Totemic Path
Beginning at 1st level, a spiritual awakening guides you along a path of shamanism. Choose one of the following totemic paths: Elementalism, Enhancement, or Restoration.
Your choice grants you features at 1st level and again at 6th, 10th, 14th, and 20th level.
Spirit Guide
Also at 1st level, you begin to serve as a medium for the spiritual and elemental worlds. You can speak, read, and write Primordial. And whenever you make a Charisma check when interacting with elementals or spirits, your proficiency bonus is doubled if it is applied to that check.
Totems
On your path to becoming a shaman, you studied the craft of carving totems—wooden poles roughly 3 inches in diameter and about 3-feet tall. With painstaking effort, you learned to carve the entire length of your totems and were then taught how to imbue them with magic. After completion, the essence of the totem binds with your spirit, allowing you to call upon its power.
Starting at 2nd level, you can craft and bond with three totems of your choice. Your totem options are detailed at the end of the class description. When you gain certain shaman levels, you can craft and bond with additional totems of your choice as shown in the Totems Crafted column of the Shaman table.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose to break your spiritual bond with one of your totems and replace it with another totem that you could make at that level.
Using Your Totems
As an action, you can plant a totem at a point within 5 feet of you, and in doing so summons its spiritual essence. This essence is considered neither a creature nor an object, though it has the spectral appearance of the totem it represents.
When you plant a totem, it triggers its magical effect, as detailed in the totem’s description. A creature can only benefit from one totem of the same kind at a time. If a totem makes an attack roll, the attack bonus is equal to your shaman spell attack bonus. If a totem requires a creature to make a saving throw, the DC is equal to your spell save DC.
On your turn, you can use your bonus action to move a totem you have placed to a new space within 30 feet of the totem and within 60 feet of you.
You can dismiss a totem you've planted as either an action or a bonus action, ending its effect. If you fall unconscious, all totems that you have planted are automatically dismissed. Unless otherwise noted in the totem description, totems last up to 1 minute before they are dismissed automatically.
Ancestral Bond
At 3rd level, you form a bond with an ancestral spirit that gives you special benefits. You gain one of the following features of your choice.
Boon of Ancestral Knowledge
You form a bond with a wise council of ancestor spirits. When you gain this feature, choose three cantrips from any class's spell list (the three needn't be from the same list). You can cast those cantrips at will. They don't count against your number of cantrips known. If they don't appear on the shaman spell list, they are nonetheless shaman spells for you.
Boon of the Ancestral Spirit
You learn the find familiar spell and can cast it as a ritual. The spell doesn't count against your number of spells known.
When you cast the spell, you can choose from one of the following special forms: dust mephit, ice mephit, magma mephit, mud mephit, smoke mephit, or steam mephit.
Additionally, when you take the Attack action, you can forgo one of your own attacks to allow your familiar to make one attack with its reaction.
Boon of the Ancestral Beast
You form a bond with the spirit of a great beast. As an action, you are able to turn yourself into a spectral wolf. You remain in this form for 1 hour, and otherwise follow the rules of the Wild Shape feature of druids with the following changes:
- Your maximum hit points become equal to a wolf's + your shaman level.
- While transformed, you are under the effects of a speak with animals spell.
- You can take the Dash and Disengage action as a bonus action.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of one). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Ancestral Vision
Starting at 11th level, you are more attuned to the elemental and spiritual nature of the universe. Choose one 6th-level spell from the shaman spell list as this Ancestral Vision. When you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of your awakened spells and replace it with another spell of the same level.
You can cast your awakened spell once without expending a spell slot. You must finish a long rest before you can do so again.
At higher levels, you gain more shaman spells of your choice that can be cast in this way: one 7th level spell at 13th level, one 8th level spell at 15th level, and one 9th-level spell at 17th level. You regain all uses of your Ancestral Vision when you finish a long rest.
Call of the Elements
At 18th level, you are able to channel powerful elemental magic through yourself to replenish some of your strength. As a 1 minute ritual, you can draw power from the elements and gain the benefits of a short rest.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

As an action, you can expend a number of charges equal to your proficiency bonus or less to cause a violent explosion at a point you can see within 60 feet.
