Channeler by

## Channeler

The channeler draws their energy from the afterlife.  As the mediums that interact with the deceased and dying, they make connections with spirits and the departed, granting them eternal rest and peace and channeling their fury.

While not as powerful of a spellcaster as a wizard, the spirits the channeler interact with grant them additional powers, partially possessing them.  Channelers who routinely practice their craft are irrevecoably changed as their personality is continually affected by the spirits they channel.

### Spellcasting
You draw your power from the spirits that came before you.  You may draw your magic directly from the afterlife or were taught by a long dead ancestor.  See chapter 10 of the player's handbook for general spellcasting and the end of this document for the channeler spell list.

#### Cantrips
You know two cantrips of your choice from the channeler spell list.  You learn additional channeler cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the channeler table.

#### Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher
You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the channeler spell list.

The Spells Known column of the channeler table shows when you learn more channeler spells of your choice.  Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 4th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the channeler spells you know and replace it with another spell from the channeler spell list, which also must be of a level for which you can cast.

#### Spellcasting Ability
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your channeler spells. Your magic comes from understanding the connection between the living world and the spirit world.
You use your Wisdom modifier whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a channeler spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

 </font>

#### Spellcasting Focus
You can use a channeler's focus as a spellcasting focus for your channeler spells.  A channeler's focus is an item with a spiritual connection to the afterlife.  It may be a weapon passed down through your family that past warriors have used or a staff made of animal bone that draws forth animal spirits.  Such items are often very rare and channelers carefully guard their foci.  Losing one may prevent the channeler from casting until it is retrieved or may be an arduous task to recreate it.

#### Qi
You cast your spells by harnessing qi, the life force that flows through you and all living beings.  To cast a channeler spell, you spend an amount of qi based on the level of spell you cast.  The amount of qi you must spend to cast a spell is shown in the Qi Cost table.  The maximum level of spell you can cast is shown on the Channeler Table.  You regain all spent qi points when you finish a long rest.

##### Qi Cost
| Spell Level | Qi Cost |
|:----:|:-------------|
| 1st  | 2 |
| 2nd  | 3 |
| 3rd | 5 |
| 4th | 6 |
| 5th | 7 |
| 6th | 9 |
| 7th | 10 |

\pagebreak

### Spirit Focus
At 1st level you have become attuned to a particular type of spirit.  The spirits you listen to shape your magic and personality, partially possessing you as you spend your qi, weakening the barrier between you and the spirit world.  Is your body a host to many spirits, each imparting their own, calm wisdom as they pass through you?  Or do you harness your magic from a foul oni that passed away eons ago who uses your body as a way to temporarily be free?

You choose one focus:  Bushi Spirit, Bakemono Spirit, Oni Spirit, or Kami Spirit. Your choice grants you features at 1st, 3rd, 5th, 9th, 11th, 14th, and 17th levels.

#### Focus Spells
Each focus has a list of associated spells. You gain access to these spells at the levels specified in the focus description. Once you gain access to a focus spell, you always know it. Focus spells don’t count against the number of spells you know.

If you gain a focus spell that doesn’t appear on the channeler spell list, the spell is nonetheless a channeler spell for you.

### Qi Barrier
At 1st level, as a bonus action, you may spend up to your level in qi.  When you do, you gain temporary hit points equal to twice the amount of qi spent in this way.

### Death Sight
Starting at 2nd level, you can use an action and spend 2 qi in order to see invisible creatures and objects and into the ethereal plane for ten minutes.

### Kagura
At 2nd level you have begun your mastery of the kagura, a type of ritual dance you can use to communicate with the spirit world.

You gain proficiency in the performance skill and may cast any spell you know as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag.  Additionally, you may cast any spell with the ritual tag on the channeler's spell list as a ritual, even if you do not know the spell, if you spend 10 minutes per spell level of the spell you cast in ritualistic dance.

### Spirit Binding

Starting at 3rd level, you have begun to attract specific spirits to you.  These spirits may be ones you have captured that you forcefully bind to you with your magic or they may follow you of their own volition.

The list of spirits you may bind to you are found at the end of this document and the number you can bind to you are shown in the channeler table.  Each spirit provides a permanent, passive benefit to you.  Additionally, you can use a bonus action to allow the spirit to possess you.  When you do, the spirit inhabits your body for one minute, during which you gain the possession benefits listed in the spirit's description.  Each individual spirit may possess you once per long rest and only one spirit may possess you at any time.

Whenever you gain a channeler level you may replace one bound spirit with another as long as you meet the requirements for it.  Releasing a spirit is something that should not be taken lightly, as vengeful spirits have been known to seek revenge on wicked channelers who use and abandon them.

### 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.

### Spiritual Resonance
At 6th level you learn the spell Speak With Dead, this spell does not count against the max number of spells you know.  When you cast this spell, the creature's spirit returns briefly to the body and will typically provide more accurate responses.  Additionally, you have advantage on deception, intimidation, and persuasion checks when interacting with ghosts, spirits, and similar creatures.

### Divine Spirit

Starting at 11th level, you may bind a divine spirit with your Spirit Binding feature.  At 18th level, you may bind a second divine spirit of your choice.

### Spirit Vessel

Starting at 20th level, as a bonus action, you immediately gain the effects of all of your spirits as if they were possessing you.  This happens even if you were previously possessed by them today, and does not count as using their possession for the day.  You may do this once per long rest.
