Bard Features

As a Bard, you gain the following class features

Magical Inspiration

At 2nd level you gain an upgrade to Bardic Inspiration.

If a creature has a Bardic Inspiration die from you and casts a spell that restores hit points or deals damage, the creature can roll that die and choose a target affected by the spell. Add the number rolled as a bonus to the hit points regained or the damage dealt. The Bardic Inspiration die is then lost.

Your Bardic Inspiration die changes when you reach certain levels in this class. The die becomes a d8 at 5th Level, a d10 at 10th level, and a d12 at 15th level.

Spellcasting

You have learned to untangle and reshape the fabric of reality in harmony with your wishes and music. Your Spells are part of your vast repertoire, magic that you can tune to different situations.

Cantrips

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

Spell Slots

The Bard table shows how many Spell Slots you have to cast your Spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these Spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended Spell Slots when you finish a Long Rest.

For example, if you know the 1st-level spell Cure Wounds and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast Cure Wounds using either slot.

Spells Known of 1st level and Higher

You know four 1st-level Spells of your choice from the bard spell list.

The Spells Known column of the Bard table shows when you learn more Bard Spells of your choice. Each of these Spells must be of a level for which you have Spell Slots. For instance, when you reach 3rd 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 Bard Spells you know and replace it with another spell from the bard spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have Spell Slots.

Spellcasting Ability

Charisma or Intelligence is your Spellcasting Ability for your Bard Spells. Your magic comes from the heart and soul you pour into the Performance of your music or oration. 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 bard spell you cast and when Making an Attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Charisma or Intelligence modifier

Spell Attack modifier = your Proficiency Bonus + your Charisma modifier

Ritual Casting

You can cast any bard spell you know as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag.

Spellcasting Focus

You can use a musical instrument (see "Equipment") as a Spellcasting Focus for your Bard Spells.

Spell Versatility

1st-level bard feature (enhances Spellcasting)

Whenever you finish a long rest, you can replace one spell you learned from this Spellcasting feature with another spell from the bard spell list. The new spell must be the same level as the spell you replace.

Jack of All Trades

Starting at 2nd Level, you can add half your Proficiency Bonus, rounded down, to any ability check you make that doesn't already include your Proficiency Bonus.

Song of Rest

Beginning at 2nd Level, you can use soothing music or oration to help Revitalize your wounded allies during a Short Rest. If you or any friendly creatures who can hear your Performance regain Hit Points by spending Hit Dice at the end of the Short Rest, each of those creatures regains an extra 1d6 Hit Points.

The extra Hit Points increase when you reach certain levels in this class: to 1d8 at 9th level, to 1d10 at 13th level, and to 1d12 at 17th level.

Also any spellcasters who spend a hit die during this short rest also gain mana equal to half the roll on the extra dice.

Bard College

At 3rd Level, you delve into the advanced Techniques of a Bard College of your choice, such as the College of Lore. Your choice grants you features at 3rd Level and again at 6th and 14th level.

Expertise

At 3rd Level, choose two of your skill Proficiencies. Your Proficiency Bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen Proficiencies.

Font of Inspiration

Beginning when you reach 5th Level, you regain all of your expended uses of Bardic Inspiration when you finish a short or Long Rest.

Countercharm

At 6th level, you gain the ability to use musical notes or words of power to disrupt mind-influencing Effects. As an action, you can start a Performance that lasts until the end of your next turn. During that time, you and any friendly creatures within 30 feet of you have advantage on Saving Throws against being Frightened or Charmed. A creature must be able to hear you to gain this benefit. The Performance ends early if you are Incapacitated or silenced or if you voluntarily end it (no action required).

Magical Secrets

By 10th level, you have plundered magical knowledge from a wide spectrum of disciplines. Choose two Spells from any class, including this one. A spell you choose must be of a level you can cast, as shown on the Bard table, or a cantrip.

The chosen Spells count as Bard Spells for you and are included in the number in the Spells Known column of the Bard table.

You learn two additional Spells from any class at 14th level and again at 18th level.

Superior Inspiration

At 20th level, when you roll Initiative and have no uses of Bardic Inspiration left, you regain one use.

Spellcasting

As a student of arcane magic, you have a spellbook containing spells that show the first glimmerings of your true power.

Spellcasting Ability

Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your Mage spells, since you learn your spells through dedicated study and memorization. Some mage traditions have trained to use other parts of their mind to control their magic allowing them to use wisdom or even charisma to cast spells. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Mage spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Ritual Casting

You can cast a Mage spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell in your spellbook. You don’t need to have the spell prepared.

Learning Spells of 1st Level and Higher

Each time you gain a Mage level, you can add two Mage spells of your choice to your spellbook for free. Each of these spells must be of your max spell level you can cast or lower, as shown on the Mage table. On your adventures, you might find other spells that you can add to your spellbook (see “Your Spellbook”). A Mage can record spells up to 2 levels above their max spell level. And they can cast these spells up to their max spell level.

Mage Tradition

When you become a mage, you choose a Mage tradition, giving you formidable powers and a set of spells to accompany them. See Traditions and expanded spell list.

Your choice grants you features at 2nd level and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th level.

School of focus

When you reach 3rd level, you choose a School of Focus, shaping your practice of magic through one of eight schools: Abjuration, Conjuration, Divination, Enchantment, Evocation, Illusion, Necromancy, or Transmutation, all detailed at the end of the class description. A Mage can also choose to take an elemental school, sin magic, and even an alternate version of one of the eight origin schools. A mage who does not choose a school becomes a mage of the universalist school.

When a mage chooses a school of focus from the eight arcane schools they must choose two opposition schools gaining benefits for their choice and drawbacks for the two opposition schools.

When a mage chooses an elemental school of focus they must choose and opposition element.

See "Choosing a path" for more info on schools of focus and sin magic.

Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 7th, 12th, and 17th level.

Cantrip Mastery

At 18th level, you have achieved such mastery over certain spells that you can cast them at will. Choose a 1st-level Mage spell and a 2nd-level Mage spell that are in your spellbook. You can cast those spells at their lowest level without expending any mana when you have them prepared. If you want to cast either spell at a higher level, you must expend mana as normal.

By spending 8 hours in study, you can exchange one or both of the spells you chose for different spells of the same levels.

Signature Spells

When you reach 20th level, you gain mastery over two powerful spells and can cast them with little effort. Choose two 3rd-level mage spells in your spellbook as your signature spells. You always have these spells prepared, they don’t count against the number of spells you have prepared, and you can cast each of them once at 3rd level without expending a spell slot. When you do so, you can’t do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

If you want to cast either spell at a higher level, you must expend mana as normal.

Traditions

Traditions grant you unique abilities at 2nd, 6th, 10th and 14th level. You also gain access to an expanded spell list which are spells you get for free and always have readied.

A Dark Past

In days long past, there existed an powerful clan of mages and their arcane art known as black magic—a potent magic of pure destructive force born forth by a sorceress of unparalleled power. Those who learned to wield this instrument of ruin came to be called black mages, out of both fear and respect for their gift. Yet great power served to corrupt the judgment of mortal man, and so he unknowingly set out upon the path of ruin.

Adventurers who take the black will become agents of devastation, capable of annihilating those who oppose them through little more than the force of their will.

Ties to the Void

In order for a mage to don the black, they must extensively research what they call the void. This is another plane of existence from which Black Mages draw knowledge from in order to unlock power within themselves. Most black mages are able to explore the knowledge gained from the void through tomes and texts now, but some who thirst for new power may attempt to tap into the void directly. Black Mages continue to grow within their craft through continuing their study of the dark arts.

Creating a Black Mage

Black Mages are earnest in their desires and reasons for taking the black. More often than not it is in the pursuit of power or out of sheer curiousity. You must know why you are pursuing this power, or why you are curious about the dark arts. You must also decide where you began to dip your toes into the world of black magic. Did you join a cult of mages who studied the art? Perhaps a proper school which provides the proper materials to explore black mage. Maybe you were taken under the wing of a mentor who has mastered the art

Expanded Spell list

Black mages are allowed to use their charisma instead of intelligence

Unstable Aether

When you cast a spell with mana you generate a point of aether for each mana spent but up to your Max Aether found on the Tradition of the Black Mage chart. For each point of Aether you have you gain a static +1 to your spell DC, spell to hit and spell damage rolls. You keep this Aether up to 1 minute after combat.

Leylines

When you cast a spell, the residual mana from your spell temporarily creates a leyline, which can be manipulated with your Aether. If you cast a spell last turn and have not moved or taken any other actions during your current turn, you may spend a number of Aether points equal to that spell's level to cast a spell of the same or lower level. Your turn immediately ends after casting the spell. Spells cast with Aether do no generate Aether.

Surecaster

Beginning at the 6th level, you may expend three Aether to achieve an impregnable state of mind as an action. You pass all concentration checks automatically for the next 10 minutes.

Aetherial Manipulation

Beginning at the 10th level, you are able to more effectively manipulate your Leylines. Your movement is no longer restricted when making use of your Leylines feature. Casting a spell with the effect of Leylines still immediately ends your turn but now you can take actions before using leylines, on the same turn.

Additionally, if you expended any mana during your last turn, as an action, you may spend one mana to magically teleport back to the location you were standing in when you cast the spell if the space is unoccupied.

Devastating Force

Beginning at the 14th level, when you cast a spell, you may spend one Aether to reroll all damage die which resulted in a 1 or 2, also adding your casting stat to the damage of the spell. You must use the resulting rolls. Spells affected by this feature do not generate Aether.

Also when you roll damage for a spell and roll the highest number possible on any of the dice, choose one of those dice, roll it again and add that roll to the damage. This does not affect dice added by this feature.

One with the land

White Mage's strength stems from an art they refer to as conjury. Conjury calls upon the elements of earth, wind, and water and concentrates them to a potency at which spells can be weaved. Through practiced meditation on the essences of creation, conjurers draw forth and absorb magic from their immediate surroundings. Versed also in magicks that restore and strengthen, White Mages are regarded as accomplished healers.

Patrons of Light

White Mages find their roots in a society which revered nature as an ally, borrowing the power of the land and elementals to soothe wounds and protect from the wicked.

Over time, the White Mages of the past overused this power causing the elementals to act out and smite the land, alongside the damage wrought by the opposing Black Mages, the world fell into a dark age. Today White Mages are few and far between, practicing the forbidden art to wield the powers of nature and light to drive off evil in protection of the world again.

Creating a White Mage

When creating a White Mage one must question how they came into the art of conjury and the profession of White Mage. Did a kindly mentor take you under their wing? Did your studies of magic from the past lead you to discovering how to draw power from the world you lived in? Perhaps the elementals which inhabit the land reached out to you and their whispers guided you to the path of a White Mage. Nonetheless a White Mage's role in the world is that of a protector, soothing the wounds of those who need it most, settling enraged elementals and driving the beings who bring destruction back from hence they came.

Divine Study

White mages are allowed to ready any orisons (cleric spells) as part of their daily spells prepared as long as they are of a level to do so. You can have no more than your proficiency modifier in orisons readied in this way. To cast any of these spells they must have a charge of confession or take the prayer action as part of casting the spell. White mages can use wisdom instead of intelligence as their casting modifier.

Confession

Beginning at 1st level, you gain the action "Prayer". When you use "Prayer" you gain a charge of Confession. When you use prayer while you already have a charge of confession, you double the number of charges you currently have, then gain 1 more charge.

You may hold a number of confession charges based on the white mage chart. You must be in combat to use prayer, your confession charges fade away after spending 1 minute outside of combat. You may spend confession to cast blessings. You can not use blessings out of combat.

As long as you have one of charge of confession you can use your mana to cast an Orison. You can cast Orison's out of combat by taking the prayer action within one round of casting the Orison.

Minor Blessings

Nymian Healer

At 6th level you gain the ability to improve your healing capabilities. When ever you cast a healing spell of 1st lvl or higher you also heal for additional hit points equal to your proficiency + mana spent.

Also your healing spells have the potential to cause a critical heal. When you cast a healing spell and one of the die results in its highest possible result. Roll another die of the same value and add that number to the amount of hit points recovered. A critical heal may only occur once per healing spell.

Adloquiem

Starting at the 10th level, when you cast a spell of 1st level or higher to restore hit points to a creature, you may expend one charge of confession. Your healing spell creates a protective ward on the creature, granting them temporary hit points equal to the hit points recovered for 10 minutes. If a critical heal occurred, the target gains additional temporary hit points equal to half of the amount of hit points recovered.

Nymian Savior

Starting at the 14th level, when you cast a healing spell which will not grant temporary hit points, that creature gains 1d10 temporary hitpoints.

Crimson Mage

Some fairy tales of Gyr Abania speak of the heroic deeds and daring adventures of mages clothed in crimson. These adventurers are known as Red Mages, and travel the world protecting the good in the world by drawing on both white and black magic, while mixing martial prowess into a flawless battle style.

Its Not About Fame

Their thirst for adventure, flashy style and renowned flair may lead many to believe that a Red Mage becomes an adventurer for the admiration of their fellow man, but that is not the case. Those who take the Red do so in order to take up arms to protect the good in the world and bring wrongdoers to justice. It is their heroic spirit which drives them to action, the garnered fame is just a perk.

Creating a Red Mage

When creating a Red Mage, you must consider why they may be heading out on their adventure. Did they become fed up with the oppressive nature of the world and seek the need to become a hero to the common man? They may have learned of a plot which endangers their home, perhaps the world as a whole and will stop at nothing to end it. Maybe it is simply a need to chase the thrill of adventure and become a hero of legend.

One key consideration to make as a Red Mage is where you came to learn your myriad of skills. Was it through the study of old tomes you discovered in an abandoned warehouse or library? Did you meet a mentor who saw great potential in you and introduced you to the art? Whatever the origin, you wield powerful skills with an artistic flair. Red mages may use their charisma instead of intelligence for mage features and casting spells.

Expanded Spell list

Flair Points

At 2nd level, you gain access to Flair Points. Certain Red Mage abilities require you to spend flair points from your pool. All expended flair points are recovered after a short or long rest.

At 5th level, as long as you have one flair point you can take the Multi-Attack (1) Action once per round.

Flair Techniques

Manafication: At 2nd level, as an action you may spend a number of flair points equal to twice the level of a spell you wish to cast, in place of spending mana.

Heroic Flair

Charmed I'm Sure: At 6th level, the trace amounts of magic in your body influence those you come into contact with. You may spend a flair point to gain advantage on a charisma, wisdom or intelligence ability check.

In Good Company: At 6th level, you may spend 1 flair point to tutor your ally in the art of appealing to others. One ally may add your Spellcasting ability modifier to their charisma ability checks for up to 5 minutes. You may only use this once before requiring a short rest.

Heroic Luck: At 6th level, your renaissance man nature has given you an edge in conversation. You may spend 2 flair point to reroll one intelligence, wisdom or charisma save.

Advanced Flair Techniques

Displacement: At 10th level, you have learned to flow between martial and magic combat effortlessly. By spending 1 flair point after taking the attack action you leap backwards through the air, landing upto 30ft. in a straight line behind you. You are considered to travel over the heads of medium creatures or smaller, but your travel is stopped by creatures larger than this. This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity. When you take this action, make a ranged spell attack against the target of your attack action, dealing 2d8 + your Charisma modifier force damage on hit.

Embolden: At 10th level, you have learned to fill your allies with fervor using your natural appeal. As an action you may spend 1 flair point to empower all allies within 10ft. of you. Damaging effects from your allies deal an extra 1d8 damage until the end of your next turn.

Quicksilver Casting: At 10th level, if you deal damage to a target with a cantrip, you may spend one flair point to gain advantage on a ranged spell attack against the target or cause the target to make dexterity saving throws against your spells with disadvantage until the end of your turn.

Flair Mastery

Enchanted Blade: At 14th level, your magical power seeps into any weapon you hold. After attuning to a one handed weapon for one hour, magical or not, you are able to summon the weapon to your hand as an action. You may spend one flair point to deal an additional 2d8 force damage on each damage roll when you take the attack action with this weapon. You must declare you are doing so prior to your attack roll.

Follow My Lead: At 14th level, as an action you may spend 2 flair points to move an ally who is lower in the initiative order than you up in the order, such that they act directly after you. You may use this effect once before requiring a short rest.

Liquification: At 14th level, as an action you may spend a spell slot of any level to gain a number of flair points equal to twice the spell slot level. You may not gain flair points over your maximum number of points.

Choosing a Path

At 3rd level a mage chooses a school to focus on gaining some minor benefits and the schools principle techniques.

School of Abjuration

Focus

The School of Abjuration emphasizes magic that blocks, banishes, or protects. Detractors of this school say that its tradition is about denial, negation rather than positive assertion. You understand, however, that ending harmful effects, protecting the weak, and banishing evil influences is anything but a philosophical void. It is a proud and respected vocation

Called abjurers, members of this school are sought when baleful spirits require exorcism, when important locations must be guarded against magical spying, and when portals to other planes of existence must be closed.

Abjuration Savant

Beginning when you select this school, the gold and time you must spend to copy a Conjuration spell into your spellbook is halved.

Resistance:

You gain resistance to an damage type of your choice, chosen when you prepare spells. This resistance can be changed each day.

Arcane Ward:

When you cast an abjuration spell of 1st level or higher, you can simultaneously use a strand of the spell's magic to create a magical ward on yourself that lasts until you finish a long rest. The ward has hit points equal to twice your mage level + your casting modifier. Whenever you take damage, the ward takes the damage instead. If this damage reduces the ward to 0 hit points, you take any remaining damage.

School of Conjuration

Focus

As a conjurer, you favor spells that produce objects and creatures out of thin air. You can conjure billowing clouds of killing fog or summon creatures from elsewhere to fight on your behalf. As your mastery grows, you learn spells of transportation and can teleport yourself across vast distances, even to other planes of existence, in an instant.

Conjuration Savant

Beginning when you select this school, the gold and time you must spend to copy a Conjuration spell into your spellbook is halved.

Minor Conjuration:

You can use your action to conjure up a copy of an inanimate object in your hand or on the ground in an unoccupied space that you can see within 10 feet of you.

This object can be no larger than 4 feet on a side and weighs no more than 25 pounds, and its form must be that of a nonmagical object that you have seen or you can make a Crafting check to make an object you have only thought of or heard of, DM discretion. The object is visibly magical, radiating dim light out to 5 feet.

The object disappears after 1 hour, when you use this feature again, if it is outright broken, or if it takes up to 10 points of damage. Using or attacking with the conjured object does not end the effect early.

Benign Transposition:

You can use your action to teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space that you can see. Alternatively, you can choose a space within range that is occupied by a Small or Medium creature. If that creature is willing, you both teleport, swapping places.

If you target an unwilling creature, the target must succeed on a Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC, or swap places with you.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest or until you cast a conjuration spell or use an action for a conjuration spell.

School of Divination

Focus

The counsel of a diviner is sought by royalty and commoners alike, for all seek a clearer understanding of the past, present, and future. As a diviner, you strive to part the veils of space, time, and consciousness so that you can see clearly. You work to master spells of discernment, remote viewing, supernatural knowledge, and foresight.

Divination Savant

Beginning when you select this school, the gold and time you must spend to copy a Divination spell into your spellbook is halved.

Forewarned:

You can not be surprised allowing you to act in the surprise round. In addition, you receive a bonus on initiative checks equal to 1/2 your mage level (minimum +1).

Portent:

When you choose this school, glimpses of the future begin to press in on your awareness. When you finish a long rest, roll two d20s and record the numbers rolled. You can replace any attack roll, saving throw, or ability check made by you or a creature that you can see with one of these foretelling rolls. You must choose to do so before the roll, and you can replace a roll in this way only once per turn.

Each foretelling roll can be used only once. When you finish a long rest, you lose any unused foretelling rolls.

Expert Divination:

Casting divination spells comes so easily to you that it expends only a fraction of your spellcasting efforts. When you cast a divination spell of 2nd level to 5th level using mana, you regain mana equal to half the mana spent rounded down.

School of Enchantment

Focus

As a member of the School of Enchantment, you have honed your ability to magically entrance and beguile other people and monsters. Some enchanters are peacemakers who bewitch the violent to lay down their arms and charm the cruel into showing mercy. Others are tyrants who magically bind the unwilling into their service. Most enchanters fall somewhere in between.

Enchantment Savant

Beginning when you select this school, the gold and time you must spend to copy a Enchantment spell into your spellbook is halved.

Split Enchantment

When you cast an enchantment spell of 1st level or higher that targets only one creature, you can have it target a second creature.

Hypnotic Gaze:

When you choose this school, your soft words and enchanting gaze can magically enthrall another creature. As an action, choose one creature that you can see within 5 feet of you. If the target can see or hear you, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your mage spell save DC or be charmed by you until the end of your next turn. The charmed creature's speed drops to 0, and the creature is incapacitated and visibly dazed.

On subsequent turns, you can use your action to maintain this effect, extending its duration until the end of your next turn. However, the effect ends if you move more than 5 feet away from the creature, if the creature can neither see nor hear you, or if the creature takes damage.

Once the effect ends, or if the creature succeeds on its initial saving throw against this effect, you can't use this feature on that creature again until you finish a long rest.

Instinctive Charm:

When a creature you can see within 30 feet of you makes an attack roll against you, you can use your reaction to divert the attack, provided that another creature is within the attack's range. The attacker must make a Wisdom saving throw against your wizard spell save DC. On a failed save, the attacker must target the creature that is closest to it, not including you or itself. If multiple creatures are closest, the attacker chooses which one to target.

On a successful save, you can't use this feature on the attacker again until you finish a long rest.

You must choose to use this feature before knowing whether the attack hits or misses. Creatures that can't be charmed are immune to this effect.

School of Evocation

Focus

You focus your study on magic that creates powerful elemental effects such as bitter cold, searing flame, rolling thunder, crackling lightning, and burning acid. Some evokers find employment in military forces, serving as artillery to blast enemy armies from afar. Others use their spectacular power to protect the weak, while some seek their own gain as bandits, adventurers, or aspiring tyrants.

Evocation Savant

Beginning when you select this school, the gold and time you must spend to copy a Evocation spell into your spellbook is halved.

Sculpt Spells:

You can create pockets of relative safety within the effects of your evocation spells. When you cast an evocation spell that affects other creatures that you can see, you can choose a number of them equal to 1 + the spell's level. The chosen creatures automatically succeed on their saving throws against the spell, and they take no damage if they would normally take half damage on a successful save.

Intense spells:

Your damaging cantrips affect even creatures that avoid the brunt of the effect. When a creature succeeds on a saving throw against your cantrip, the creature takes half the cantrip's damage (if any) but suffers no additional effect from the cantrip.

Whenever you cast an evocation spell that deals damage, add 1/2 your mage level to the damage rounded down (minimum +1). This bonus only applies once to a spell, not once per missile or ray, and cannot be split between multiple missiles or rays. This bonus damage is not increased by Empower Spell or similar effects. This damage is of the same type as the spell.

Force Missiles:

As an action you can unleash a force missile that automatically strikes a foe, as magic missile. The force missile deals 1d4 points of force damage plus the damage from your intense spells evocation power. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your casting modifier.

School of Illusion

Focus

You focus your studies on magic that dazzles the senses, befuddles the mind, and tricks even the wisest folk. Your magic is subtle, but the illusions crafted by your keen mind make the impossible seem real. Some illusionists – including many gnome wizards – are benign tricksters who use their spells to entertain. Others are more sinister masters of deception, using their illusions to frighten and fool others for their personal gain.

Illusion Savant

Beginning when you select this school, the gold and time you must spend to copy a Illusion spell into your spellbook is halved.

Improved Minor Illusion:

You learn the Minor Illusion cantrip. If you already know this cantrip, you learn a different wizard cantrip of your choice. The cantrip doesn't count against your number of cantrips known. When you cast Minor Illusion, you can create both a sound and an image with a single casting of the spell.

Also when you cast an illusion spell that has a duration of 1 minute or longer, you can use your action to change the nature of that illusion (using the spell's normal parameters for the illusion), provided that you can see the illusion.

All illusion spells you cast linger for rounds equal half your mage level after their duration ends or concentration ends.

School of Necromancy

Focus

The School of Necromancy explores the cosmic forces of life, death, and undeath. As you focus your studies in this tradition, you learn to manipulate the energy that animates all living things. As you progress, you learn to sap the life force from a creature as your magic destroys its body, transforming that vital energy into magical power you can manipulate.

Most people see necromancers as menacing, or even villainous, due to the close association with death. Not all necromancers are evil, but the forces they manipulate are considered taboo by many societies.

Necromancy Savant

Beginning when you select this school, the gold and time you must spend to copy a Necromancy spell into your spellbook is halved.

Grim Harvest:

You gain the ability to reap life energy from creatures you kill with your spells. Once per turn when you kill one or more creatures with a spell of 1st level or higher, you regain hit points equal to twice the spell's level, or three times its level if the spell belongs to the School of Necromancy. You don't gain this benefit for killing constructs or undead.

Undead Thralls:

You add the Animate Dead spell to your spellbook if it is not there already. When you cast Animate Dead, you can target one additional corpse or pile of bones, creating another zombie or skeleton, as appropriate or reassert control over an additional undead.

Whenever you create an undead using a necromancy spell, it has additional benefits:

• The creature's hit point maximum is increased by an amount equal to your Mage level.

• The creature adds your proficiency bonus to its weapon damage rolls and to hits.

Command Undead:

You can use magic to bring undead under your control, even those created by other wizards. As an action, you can choose one undead that you can see within 60 feet of you. That creature must make a Charisma saving throw against your wizard spell save DC. If it succeeds, you can't use this feature on it again. If it fails, it becomes friendly to you and obeys your commands until you use this feature again.

Intelligent undead are harder to control in this way. If the target has an Intelligence of 8 or higher, it has advantage on the saving throw. If it fails the saving throw and has an Intelligence of 12 or higher, it can repeat the saving throw at the end of every hour until it succeeds and breaks free.

School of Transmutation

Focus

You are a student of spells that modify energy and matter. To you, the world is not a fixed thing, but eminently mutable, and you delight in being an agent of change. You wield the raw stuff of creation and learn to alter both physical forms and mental qualities. Your magic gives you the tools to become a smith on reality's forge.

Some transmuters are tinkerers and pranksters, turning people into toads and transforming copper into silver for fun and occasional profit. Others pursue their magical studies with deadly seriousness, seeking the power of the gods to make and destroy worlds.

Transmutation Savant

Beginning when you select this school, the gold and time you must spend to copy a Transmutation spell into your spellbook is halved.

Minor Alchemy: You gain access to the Transmutation Circle Spell if you don't already have it and can cast the ritual version as a 1 minute ritual instead of 10 minutes.

Physical Enhancement:

You gain a +1 enhancement bonus to one physical ability score (Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution). This bonus increases by +1 for every five mage levels you possess to a maximum of +5 at 20th level. You can change this bonus to a new ability score when you prepare spells. At 20th level, this bonus applies to two physical ability scores of your choice.

Bashing

You may attack with a shield with the bashing property as though it were a weapon, rolling the damage dice shown in parenthesis.

Fragile

Whenever you make an attack roll with a melee weapon with the Fragile property and the result on the d20 die is equal to or lower than the weapon’s Fragile value, the weapon breaks immediately after the attack.

Free-handed

This weapon or shield attaches to the arm but the hand remains unoccupied to hold a weapon or an item but not a shield. If you attack with a weapon held in that unoccupied hand (such as a two-handed weapon), you must either choose to do so with disadvantage or you cannot benefit from the AC bonus of your shield until the start of your next turn.

Grappling

When you hit with a melee or thrown attack using a weapon with the Grappling property, you can attempt an opposed Grapple contest. You must use your Аttack roll, and the target uses their Dexterity (Acrobatics) skill. If you succeed, your weapon grapples the target. Other weapon properties (Restraining, Preventing, etc.) list this condition as prerequisite.

While your weapon is grappling the target, any attack with the same weapon breaks the grapple. The grapple is broken if you or the target move out of reach. The grappled enemy can also spend an action and attempt a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check against your Weapon Mastery DC. If it succeeds, the weapon grapple is broken. If it is not grappled by a thrown weapon, the target can also break the weapon grapple if it succeeds in Disarming you.

While your weapon is grappling the target and you are holding onto your weapon, you can attempt Shove a Creature action using your Attack roll instead of Strength (Athletics).

Hooked

The weapon has a hooked head that can get stuck into your opponent. While your weapon is grappling the target and you are holding on your weapon, if the target attempts to break the grapple by leaving your reach or is Shoved away from you, it provokes an opportunity attack from you that automatically hits.

Light

A light weapon is small and easy to handle, making it ideal for use when fighting with two Weapons.

The weapon is able to be used just as effectively while you are laying on the ground or while you are standing. When you are prone and attack with this weapon, you do not suffer disadvantage if you are proficient with the weapon.

Limit

Weapons with the Limit property impose disadvantage when not used in the specific way described in parenthesis, such as only or never on a mount, or only when stationary.

Long

Weapons with the Long property impose a disadvantage to attacks within 5 feet. You also cannot attempt any combat options or special melee attacks with this weapon against any target within that range.

Mounted Strike

When you are riding upon a creature capable of movement at a speed 40 feet or faster, you can use the momentum of your mount to deal one powerful strike at a target that is not prone or smaller than you. If the weapon also has reach, being prone or size differences doesn't prevent your mounter strike.

You must command your mount to Dash in a straight line through the position of your target. When you enter reach, you can spend one of your attacks to make a special melee attack. If it hits, the target suffers vulnerability to the attack damage. You can then continue the movement of your mount and you do not provoke an opportunity attack if you leave the reach of your target unless your special melee attack missed.

Nonlethal

The weapon is designed to incapacitate, or is otherwise capable of delivering a hit that does not kill the target. Weapons with this property still deal their full damage when dealing nonlethal damage.

Ongoing

While a weapon with the Ongoing property is grappling the target (see Grappling weapon property), the target takes damage at the beginning of each of its turns equal to the value shown in parenthesis.

Opportunistic

This weapon is great for striking back at opponents who threaten you.

When using your reaction to make an opportunity attack with this weapon, you benefit from advantage to the attack roll.

Parry

The weapon has a catching or deflecting feature, allowing it to be used to parry incoming attacks.

You can use the Deflect combat action () even if the weapon has the Light or Finesse properties and if you negate all damage you can Riposte as part of the same reaction.

If duel wielding weapons both with the parry property you may add both damage die to your deflect action.

Preventing

While your weapon is grappling the target (see Grappling weapon property) and you are holding your weapon, the target is unable to approach you and can only move away from you.

The target can only move towards you if it attempts to Shove you. If it succeeds, it also provokes an opportunity attack from you that automatically hits.

Reach

The weapon has an extended length. This weapon adds 5 feet to your Reach when you attack with it, and when determining your Reach for attacks of opportunity with it.

Restraining

While your weapon is grappling the target (see Grappling weapon property), the weapon restricts some of the actions of the creature. The Restrain effect depends on the location listed in parenthesis. If more than one is listed, pick one.

Two-Handed, Versatile

Two-Handed weapons require two hands when you Attack with it.

Versatile weapons can be used with one or two hands. A damage value in parentheses appears with the property for the damage the weapon deals when used with two hands to make a melee Attack.

In addition, when a weapon is held in two hands attempts to disarm you are made at disadvantage.

Vicious

If a weapon with the Vicious property deals damage, you may reroll any of the weapon dice if it rolls a value of 1. You must use the new value even if it is also a 1. If you have the Great Weapon Fighting style, the two rerolls stack to 1-3 instead.

Weak

Creatures that wear any Hauberk, or Medium, armor have resistance to damage dealt by weapons with the Weak property unless it is an exceptional or critical hit.

Worn

Weapons with the Worn property are equipped in a way similar to armor, by strapping it firmly to the body. It takes up to 1 minute to don or doff the weapon or shield, and you can do it as part of donning or doffing armor. The DM may allow you to skip the required time if you ignore the Worn property of the weapon or shield until the end of combat.

While the weapon or shield benefits from the Worn property, it cannot be disarmed unless the attack or skill check is an exceptional or critical hit.

Wounding

The weapon is particularly potent in maximizing its unique damage type. When you cause an Open Wound () with this weapon, it will inflict an additional effect based upon the type of damage dealt. A critical hit guarantees the Wounding effect even if the attack doesn't cause an Open Wound.

Slashing weapons can tear through defencses or otherwise leave a target more vulnerable. The target's AC is lowered by 2 until the end of its next turn.

Bludgeoning weapons can hit with a singularly bone-shaking blow, stunning the target. The target becomes Stunned until the end of its next turn.

Piercing weapons can inflict gaping wounds and cause profuse bleeding. The target loses an extra 1 hp at the start of its turns, or extra 2 hp if caused by a critical hit. To stop the excessive bleeding, the Medicine check DC is raised to 15. Objects, Constructs, and Elementals are immune to this effect.
