Spellcasting
By 2nd level, you have learned to draw on earth magic through your connection with the land to cast spells. See Spells Rules for the general rules of spellcasting and Cragheart Spells for the cragheart spell list.
Preparing and Casting Spells
The Cragheart table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your cragheart spells. To cast one of your cragheart spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
You prepare the list of cragheart spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the cragheart spell list. When you do so, choose a number of cragheart spells equal to your Strength modifier + half your cragheart level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
For example, if you are a 5th-level cragheart, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Strength of 16, your list of prepared spells can include five spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell dirt tornado, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells.
You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of cragheart spells requires time spent in meditation of the land: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
Strength is your spellcasting ability for your cragheart spells, since their power derives from your physical ability. You use your Strength whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Strength modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a cragheart spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell Save DC
Spell attack modifier
Affinity
A cragheart is a failure, one who could not gain mastery over an element who was exiled from their people. But, that isn't to say a cragheart isn't a powerful individual, and they can choose their own path once free to explore the world and find themself, choosing between two paths.
When you reach 3rd level, discover your inner strength, your true affinity. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 5th level.
Rock Tunnel
At 4th level you can gain a burrow speed equal to your base speed for a number of rounds equal to your Constitution modififer. You can Rock Tunnel again after a short rest.
Affinities
A cragheart has a natural draw, a way where they find that they just fit. They do not choose their path, they discover who they are. A cragheart does not feel complete until this time.
Earth Affinity
While a cragheart has true mastery over none of the elements, their ties to the earth remain strong. For some this is their calling, and even though they do not have the discipline or precision of a true earthen mater, they can perform feats of great power.
One With the Earth
You have a closeness to the land, gaining powers from this connection. When casting a spell of the conjuration school of the earth element, you infuse the area around yourself with the elemental plane of earth. This earth aura lasts until the end of your next turn before dissipating.
When casting an evocation of the earth element, you can use that infusion to power up the spell by casting it as if it were one level higher. Alternately, when making a melee attack, you can use the infusion to deal an additional 1d8 magic bludgeoning damage.
Earth Affinity Spells
The earth affinity cragheart gains two cantrips from this list: booming blade, mending, mold earth, and thorn whip.
In addition, they always have the following spells prepared.
| Cragheart Level | Spells |
|---|---|
| 1st | Entangle, Healing Word |
| 5th | Aid, Barkskin |
Backup Ammunition
At 5th level your connection with the earth becomes such that you can modify your earth spells. You gain the ability to add a second, different, target to any single target spell.
Sentient Growth
At 5th level, whenever an ally is within the area of effect of one of your spells, they are healed 1d4 hit points per spell level in addition to any other damage or effects.
Physical Affinity
You draw upon your physical strength as well as your connection to the earth to combine the two into a single devastating power. This rejection of your people's natural path may be difficult to accept, but it is who you are, and you will embrace it with a fervor.
Thaumaturgy
You can expend a spell slot when you make a melee attack in order to imbue the attack with a thaumaturgical effect. Choose from the list below. You gain a thaumatury at 3rd level and again at 5th level.
Crushing Grasp
Use after a successful hit. Your attack drops the target's speed to 0 for one round per spell level expended.
Heaving Swing
Use after a successful hit. You push your target back 5 ft per spell level expended.
Explosive Punch, Requires 5th level
Shatter and destroy an attacked object that is 5 ft. cube in size or smaller for every level of spell expended. Make an attack against all enemies adjacent to the object, dealing 2d8 + Strength modifier damage to them.
Unstable Upheaval
You deal 2 damage per spell level expended to all adjacent creatures before making your attack.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
