Sha'ir

Djinn Bond

The source of a sha'ir's power is the bond they forge with a djinn. Choose a Djinn Bond, which describes the source of your elemental magical power: Sand, Water, Storm and Light Bonds, all detailed at the end of the class description.

Your choice grants you features when you choose it at 1st level and again at 6th, 14th and 18th level.

Spellcasting

Your bond has given you the ability to cast spells tied to the elements. See chapter 10 for the general rules of spellcasting and the end of this document for the sha'ir spell list.

Spell Cost Table

Spells Known

You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the sha'ir spell list.

The Spells Known column of the sha'ir table shows when you learn more sha'ir spells of your choice. The Maximum Spell Level column shows you the highest spell level you can learn. For instance, when you reach 3rd level in this class, you can learn one new spell of the 1st or 2nd level.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the sha'ir spells you know and replace it with another spell from the sha'ir spell list.

Spell Casting Ability

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your sha'ir spells, so 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 sha'ir spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one

These benefits last for 10 minutes or until you lose all these temporary hit points.

Sand Resistance

At 3rd level, the natural barrier that grows around you when casting spells strengthens, making it more difficult for weapons to harm you. When you have used 10 surge points you gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage until you finish a long rest.

Extra Attack

Beginning at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Shelter of the Dunes

At 14th level, you can find shelter where ever you need. During a short or long rest, you can call upon your Djinn to protect you from the elements. At the start of the rest, you create a 15-foot-radius domed shelter of sand, centered on you. While within the shelter, you experience total cover

While within the shelter, you can create a single opening for a medium creature or up to five windows as a bonus action. The shelter is made of a foot thick sand. It has 50 hit points, 15 AC, and is resistant to bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage.

The shelter crumbles into the ground at the end of the rest or if its hit point total reaches zero.

Light Djinn Bond

Sha'ir that choose to bond with a Light Djinn gain a bond with a powerful entity whose constant presence can be overbearing. Their ways are unmoving and consistent, much like the light they manifest. It is a burn that is slow and constant. The radiant energy that comes from them can sear the flesh and blind the eyes of those that trouble them.

Shifting Light

At 3rd level, more light shines forth from within, you become more difficult to hit. After you have used 10 surge points, when a creature you can see attacks you or an ally that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll. You may activate the effect until you finish a long rest.

If this feature is used to defend yourself, you may also disengage and move 5 feet without triggering an attack of opportunity.
