<style> .phb .classTable { border-image-repeat: stretch; } .phb .descriptive { border-image-repeat: stretch; } </style> ## Oracle Eyes milky white with blindness, a young human in white linen robes smiles warmly; the lot of bones she has cast before her tell her that the deal her ally is making will lead them to great fortune. A somber tiefling watches as a goblin falls prone before him, as he had predicted. Hands wreathed in shadow, he reaches out to touch the fallen creature. The spectral form of a dwarf looks down at his unconscious corporeal body lying next to him before walking through the wall and into the keep to do the bidding of his god. Oracles are divine instruments of the gods they serve. Through visions of the future and fragments of divine magic afforded to them by their gods, oracles shape the world to meet the prophecies of those they serve. ### Seers of the Future An oracle is a direct medium for transfer of the divine magic of a god to the Material Plane. Oracles manifest this magic through both deific alteration of the weave and through omens. Oracles are rare, being directly chosen by their gods as cogs in the cosmic gears that shape the future. Truly harnessing the magic bestowed on an oracle is a nigh-impossible task. As a result, an oracle's predictions are often vague and hazy, and their ability to cast spells is limited compared to other spellcasters. However, oracles have taken up limited martial techniques and are comfortable wearing light armor, donning shields, and using simple weapons. ### Blessed and Cursed Oracles usually begin their lives outside of the religious orders of their god. They did not choose to be instruments of their god; their powers were forced upon them. As a result, oracles frequently struggle with their powers, especially soon after the moment of bestowment. Eventually, their difficulties controlling and accepting their powers lead oracles away from the ties that defined their previous lives. Oracles normally either turn to service in the religious orders of their god, or to adventuring. Oracles that adventure do so to freely follow their visions and normally look down on or are wary of the established clergy of their god. Over time, as the divine magic coursing through an oracle becomes stronger, their body becomes a consecrated vessel of their god. This process of consecration is a painful one for the oracle, as their body is visibly and signifcantly altered by the act. Depending on the oracle's views towards their powers, the marks of consecration could be hidden or proudly displayed. ### Creating an Oracle As you create an oracle, the most important question to consider is which deity you were chosen by. Appendix B includes lists of many of the gods of the multiverse. Check with your DM to learn which deities are in your campaign. \columnbreak Once you've chosen a god, consider your oracle's relationship to that god. Prior to being chosen, did you worship the god or was the god unknown to you? How do you view the temple priests of your god: as beneficent allies, benighted simpletons, or corrupted by forces outside of your god? Has your god shared a specific goal with you or have you only received fragments of your destiny? Do you have any personal goals separate from your deity's goals? #### Quick Build You can make an oracle quickly by following these suggestions. First, Wisdom should be your highest score, followed by Dexterity or Constitution. Second, choose the Hermit background. ## Class Features As an oracle, you gain the following class features. #### Hit Points ___ - **Hit Dice:** 1d8 per oracle level - **Hit Points at 1st Level:** 8 + your Constitution modifier - **Hit Points at Higher Levels:** 1d8 (or 5) + your Constitution modifier per oracle level after 1st #### Proficiencies ___ - **Armor:** Shields, light armor - **Weapons:** Simple weapons - **Tools:** None ___ - **Saving Throws:** Charisma, Wisdom - **Skills:** Choose two from History, Religion, Insight, Medicine, and Performance #### Equipment You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background: - *(a)* a sling and 30 bullets *(b)* two daggers, or *(c)* any simple weapon - *(a)* a scholar's pack or *(b)* a priest's pack - leather armor, a shield, and a holy focus ### Deific Magic As an instrument of divine magic, you can cast oracle spells. See chapter 10 for the general rules of spellcasting. #### Cantrips You know two cantrips of your choice from the oracle spell list. You learn additional oracle cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Oracle table. #### Spell Slots The Oracle table shows how many spell slots you have. The table also shows what the level of those slots is; all oracle spell slots are the same level. To cast one of your oracle 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. \pagebreak <div class='classTable wide'> ##### The Oracle | Level | Proficiency Bonus | Features | Cantrips Known | Spell Slots | Slot Level | Revelations Known | |:---:|:---:|:---|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| | 1st | +2 | Revelations, Deific Magic | 2 | 1 | 1st | 2 | | 2nd | +2 | Prophetic Order | 2 | 2 | 1st | 2 | | 3rd | +2 | Consecration | 2 | 2 | 2nd | 2 | | 4th | +2 | Ability Score Improvement | 3 | 2 | 2nd | 2 | | 5th | +3 | Rapid Revelations (1/rest) | 3 | 2 | 3rd | 3 | | 6th | +3 | Prophetic Order Feature | 3 | 2 | 3rd | 3 | | 7th | +3 | - | 3 | 2 | 4th | 4 | | 8th | +3 | Ability Score Improvement | 3 | 2 | 4th | 4 | | 9th | +4 | Rapid Revelations (2/rest) | 3 | 2 | 5th | 5 | | 10th | +4 | Prophetic Order Feature | 4 | 2 | 5th | 5 | | 11th | +4 | Divine Arcanum (6th level) | 4 | 3 | 5th | 5 | | 12th | +4 | Ability Score Improvement | 4 | 3 | 5th | 6 | | 13th | +5 | Divine Arcanum (7th level) | 4 | 3 | 5th | 6 | | 14th | +5 | Prophetic Order Feature | 4 | 3 | 5th | 6 | | 15th | +5 | Divine Arcanum (8th level) | 4 | 3 | 5th | 7 | | 16th | +5 | Ability Score Improvement | 4 | 3 | 5th | 7 | | 17th | +6 | Divine Arcanum (9th level) | 4 | 4 | 5th | 7 | | 18th | +6 | Rapid Revelations (3/rest) | 4 | 4 | 5th | 8 | | 19th | +6 | Ability Score Improvement | 4 | 4 | 5th | 8 | | 20th | +6 | Prophet of Destiny | 4 | 4 | 5th | 8 | </div> #### Preparing Spells You prepare the list of oracle spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the oracle spell list. When you do so, choose a number of oracle spells equal to your Wisdom modifier + your oracle level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of oracle spells requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list. #### Spellcasting Ability Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your oracle spells. The power of your spells comes from the connection to your deity, You use your Wisdom whenever an oracle spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for an oracle 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 \columnbreak #### Ritual Casting You can cast an oracle spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared. #### Spellcasting Focus You can use a holy symbol (found in chapter 5) as a spellcasting focus for your oracle spells. ### Revelations At 1st level, you have the ability to see briefly into the future and foretell coming events. The Oracle table shows how many revelations you know. On a bonus action during your turn, you may activate a revelation, rolling the corresponding revelation die. The revelation takes effect at the beginning of the turn corresponding to the revelation die. For example, if a 1 is rolled on the revelation die, the revelation takes effect at the beginning of your next turn, but if a 2 is rolled on the die, it takes effect at the beginning of the turn after that. Once you have activated a revelation, you must wait for its effect to end prior to activating that same revelation. \pagebreak ### Visions At 2nd level, you start to receive cryptic visions from your deity. When you take a long rest, you receive an omen concerning your future. THe nature of this omen is determined by the DM and may be related to something beneficial or detrimental to you. ### Prophetic Order At 2nd level, you have honed your divine foretelling into an art. Choose a Prophetic Order that you exemplify in your prognostication: Order of the Haruspex, Order of the Oneiromancer, Order of the Astrologer, or Order of the Sortileger, all detailed at the end of the class description. Your order grants you features at 2nd level and then again at 6th level, 10th level, and 14th level. #### Order Spells Each order has a list of spells—its order spells—that you gain at the oracle levels noted in the order description. Once you gain an order spell, you always have it prepared and it doesn't count against the number of spells you can prepare each day. These spells count as oracle spells for you. ### Ability Score Improvement When you reach 4th level, and again at the 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th levels, you can increase an ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As usual, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature. ### Consecration At 3rd level, your god consecrates your body to better act as a vein of his power. You gain one of the following features of your choice. #### Blind Your eyes become milky white or abyssal black.

When rolling a Revelation die, you may subtract your Wisdom modifier from the result. If the result would be less than 1, it takes effect instantaneously. Beginning at 9th level, you can use your Rapid Revelations feature twice between rests, and beginning at 18th level, you can use it three times between rests. When you finish a short or long rest, you regain your expended uses. ### Divine Arcanum At 11th level, your god bestows upon you a magical secret called an arcanum. Choose one 6th-level spell from the oracle spell list as this arcanum. You can cast your arcanum 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 oracle 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 9-th level spell at 17th level. You regain all uses of your Divine Arcanum when you finish a long rest. ### Prophet of Destiny At 20th level, you become your god's avatar on the material plane. If you are killed, your soul will be transferred into a new vessel. This new vessel is normally a newborn child, which will age at 10 times its normal rate until it reaches the age of adulthood. ## Prophetic Order Different oracles use different means to access the divine foretellings of their gods.

This spirit also has incorporeal movement, permitting movement through other creatures and objects and in the vertical axis. When doing so, movement is treated as in difficult terrain. While your consciousness is in the spirit form, your body is treated as unconscious.

If your spirit takes damage, the damage carries over to your body. Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you take a short or long rest. #### Lucid Training Starting at 10th level, you can choose one damage type when you finish a short or long rest.
