Your eyes light up, you freeze whatever position you were in, and your consciousness leaves your body to possess a creature that has been dead for no more than 20 minutes. You must have line of sight to possess a creature. While possessed, you do not have access to information that the creature had while it was alive. You use the same stats the creature had however it has 4 hit points on possession, and any injuries that caused its death do not heal with the possession. So for example, if you snapped the creatures' neck, its head would be backwards if you possessed it. The possession lasts for 5 minutes and at the end of the 5 minutes the creature turns to ash and you return to your body. ### SpellCasting At level 2, you learn to channel the energy of remnant spirits to cast your spells. #### Cantrips You know a cantrip of your choice from the bard spell list. You learn an additional cantrip at 8th, and then another at 14th level. #### Spell Slots The Possessor 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 2 1st-level spells of your choice from the bard spell list. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 5th 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. \columnbreak #### Spellcasting Ability Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your possessor spells. 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 possessor spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one. <div style='margin-top:20px'></div> <font face='scalysans' size='2'> <center> **Spell Save DC** </font> = <font face='scalysans' size='2'> 8 + your proficiency bonus + </center> <div style='margin-top:-8px'></div> <center> your Charisma modifier </center> <div style='margin-top:12px'></div> <center> **Spell attack modifier** </font> = <font face='scalysans' size='2'> your proficiency bonus + </center> <div style='margin-top:-8px'></div> <center> your Charisma modifier </center> </font> #### Ritual Casting You can cast any possessor spell you know as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag. #### Spellcasting Focus You use a voodoo doll as your spellcasting focus for your possessor spells. ### Possessor Specialty At 3rd level, you choose a Possessor specialty.
