Encounter and Milestone system

Alternately, you can forego bothering with experience and use the following easy tables to determine character matchups based on CR. When using this system, you'll grant them experience that will level the party up roughly once every six encounters. You might choose to alternate between boons and levels every six encounters.

The Epic Solo Monster Challenge Rating gives the optimal challenge rating for an encounter with a single monster (roughly hard to deadly in difficulty), based on the number of characters in the party. The party is assumed to share the same level.

Each useful boon cumulatively increases the encounter CR. Increase the CR by half the average number of useful boons per character (rounded down).

Epic Capabilities

Several additional changes are listed below to help make this adventuring tier feel as special as it should.

Epic Class Levels

Each class is given with a corresponding table, describing the effects it gains beyond 20th level.

Shatter The Weak

Beginning at 21st level, damage you take from creatures of CR 5 or lower is reduced by 20, and whenever you damage a creature of CR 5 or lower with an attack, you can choose to instead knock the target unconscious at 0 hit points.

Additionally, your weapon attacks deal double damage to objects and structures.

Titanic Grasp

Beginning at 22nd level, you gain the following benefits.

Freehold

Beginning at 21st level, if you are in possession of a castle, stronghold, or large structure, as long as you have cleared the area in a 20 mile radius of threats, you can designate it as a freehold and gain the following benefits:

Trademaking. For each inhabited freehold that you own, you don't have to pay maintenance costs, and you collect a monthly revenue of 10 silver pieces for each inhabitant of the freehold due to trade, tariffs, and taxes.

Warband. As long as you own one or more freeholds, you attract a body of six mercenaries (three CR 2 scouts and three CR 2 thugs), led by an above-average fighter (a CR 5 gladiator). These people will serve as mercenaries for free, so long as you maintain your freehold. If the mercenaries die, you can attract replacements over the course of one week by investing 50 gp into expansions to the freehold for each replacement mercenary required.

Indefatigable

Beginning at 22nd level, when you use of your Indomitable feature and reroll a saving throw, you gain a bonus to the result equal to half your fighter level.

Fighting Style Improvement

At 23rd level, each fighting style you know gains a corresponding improvement, as listed below. These options correspond to the fighting styles from the Player's Handbook.

Adrenaline Rush

Beginning at 25th level, you can use your Second Wind feature as a bonus action even if you are unconscious or incapacitated.

Demon Blade

Prerequisites: 21st level, Pact of the Blade
Your blade drinks the souls of your foes.

When a hostile creature within 30 feet of you is reduced to 0 hit points, you can use your reaction to siphon its soul
into your pact weapon. For the next 10 minutes, whenever you hit a creature with an attack, the damage roll increases by 1d6 for each soul in the weapon (maximum of 3d6), and you gain a number of temporary hit points equal to the total extra damage. At the end of 1 minute, the target's soul, now utterly drained, vanishes from existence for 100 days.

Lucubration

Beginning at 22nd level, when you finish a long rest, you can spend 10 minutes studying to prepare all of the spells in your spellbook.

Auspicious Prescience

At 25th level, whenever you expend a spell slot to cast a spell of 1st or 2nd level, you gain the ability to cast that same spell without expending a spell slot until you next finish a short or long rest.

New Spells

These spells are intended to be totally exclusive to the classes they are given to.

Unless your DM deems otherwise, none of these spells (nor the 10th-level spells) can be learned through features that allow you to learn spells from any class, such as the Ritual Caster feat or the bard's Magical Secrets feature.

Meteoric Smite

6th-level evocation, Paladin

• Casting Time: 1 bonus action
• Range: Self
• Components: V
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute.

You strike your target with a rocketing blow that has the force of a meteor, sending them flying.

The next time you hit a creature with a weapon attack before this spell ends, the attack deals an extra 7d6 fire damage to the creature, and you hurl the creature up to 30 feet towards a point within range. The creature is flung to the unoccupied space nearest this point, and drops prone.

If the point is on a creature or object, you can make a ranged spell attack against that target, using the creature you struck as a projectile. Both the flung creature and the target take 3d6 damage on a hit, or half as much on a miss.

Tanglebloom Arrows

6th-level conjuration, Ranger

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S, M (an ivy root)
• Duration: 8 hours

You enrobe yourself in conjuration magic allowing you to grow floral ammunition that explodes to ensnare its targets.

For the duration, you can use your action to conjure an enchanted piece of entangling ammunition in your free hand. You choose the type of ammunition that is conjured. If you conjure a second piece of entangling ammunition, the first piece immediately vanishes.

When this magical ammunition is used in a ranged weapon attack, it deals an additional 4d6 damage on a hit.

Hit or miss, the ammunition then transforms into a writhing mass of ensnaring vines. Creatures within 10 feet of the attack's target must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 4d6 slashing damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success. Each creature that fails the saving throw also becomes restrained by the vines. A creature restrained in this way can use its action to make a Strength saving throw, freeing itself on a success. Each restrained creature is also freed after 1 minute, or if the ammunition vanishes.

10th-Level Spells

Deity Drain

10th-level enchantment, Cleric, Warlock, Wizard

• Casting Time: 72 hours
• Range: Unlimited
• Components: V, S, M (an ornate deed bearing the target’s true name, worth at least 25,000 gp)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You speak a being’s name at the start of this spell’s casting. When the casting ends, you attempt to fracture the being’s power to a point at which it can be slain. The target must make a Charisma check against your Spell Save DC. On a failed check, all spells affecting the target end, it is teleported into an unoccupied space of your choice within 10 feet of you, and it becomes leashed by three shimmering chains which bind it in place for the duration.

The chains are magical constructions of force, and have an AC of 20 and 100 hp. While they persist, the being can’t teleport, use portals, or use planar travel. If the being dies while chained in this way, it is permanently destroyed, with its essence being completely erased from the universe, and no creature can revive it by any means for the next century. The DM determines the being’s statistics. A demigod commonly has a CR of 26 or higher, and a god is very unlikely to have a CR any lower than 30, nor an AC any lower than 25.

This spell’s casting time will naturally require you to forego sleep for 3 days. Your DM may require you to suffer levels of exhaustion to cast this spell.

Déjà Vu

10th-level divination, Bard, Sorcerer, Wizard

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Components: V, S, M (agate dust with a total value of at least 5,000 gp, which the spell consumes.)
• Range: 10 feet
• Duration: Instantaneous

This spell targets you and up to ten other willing creatures within range. You transmit the souls those targets of back through time to a point between 100 days and 100 years in the past, arriving within their own bodies. Each target arrives with a strong sense of déjà vu as they remember important events that happened in what is now their future. The spell’s components are fully consumed at the point in time when you arrive.

Each target arrives in the same position, level, and physical condition as they were at the point in time to which they are transported. The spell doesn’t transport a target back in time any further than the date of their 13th birthday.

Every event that happened in the original timeline is likely to happen again in the same way as it originally did, but random chance is reintroduced if a target’s actions affect the event. For example, all dice will be re-rolled for any combat or game of chance that the players participate in. The new timeline can thus quickly deviate from the original timeline. The original timeline exists only in each target's memory, and is otherwise erased from existence.

Diluvial Torrent

10th-level evocation, Cleric, Sorcerer, Wizard

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S
• Duration: 1 minute

The spell instantly creates a 20-foot radius, 100-foot tall cylinder of enchanted water, located 200 feet directly above you. The water falls to the ground as part of the casting of this spell.

Each creature situated within 100 feet of the cylinder where it lands must make a Strength saving throw, taking 20d6 bludgeoning damage and 20d6 force damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success. Each creature damaged in this way falls prone. Objects and structures within the area take the same damage.

The 62,800 cubic feet of water then continues to spread, creating a wave of water that fills a radius of up to 1000 feet on the ground around the point where the water landed. The water can't move uphill from the point at which it landed, and fills in crevices with its volume. Each creature this wave hits must succeed on a Strength saving throw, taking 10d6 bludgeoning damage and 10d6 force damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success. Each target that fails the save is also knocked prone by the force of the water. Objects and structures within the area take the same damage.

The water maintains a depth of at least 10 feet over the area it covers. A creature moving through the water must spend 4 feet of movement for every 1 foot it moves. Creatures within the water immediately begin to suffocate, as the air is crushed out of their lungs.

When the spell ends, the water vanishes.

Divine Health

10th-level transmutation, Cleric

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V
• Duration: 1 hour

You touch a willing creature. For the duration, you grant it the divine protective capabilities of a celestial being.

The target gains the following benefits.

Dreamscape

10th-level illusion, Bard, Druid, Warlock

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S, M (a net hung with ornamental beads)
• Duration: 8 hours

The spell grants you the ability to walk through the slumbering consciousness of any creature that dreams, and to comprehend it.

For the spell's duration, you can spend 1 minute of preparation to enter into the dreamscape. Each creature you are touching is drawn into the regions of dreams, bringing along everything they are wearing or carrying.

The dreamscape is set out like a massive populated map to the contents of the planes, filled with a chaotic spectrum of dolls-house imitations of local masterpieces and dreamers' ideas drawn from those locations. The dreamscape has a fourth dimension: every planck length gap along this extra dimension corresponds to an entirely different plane. It is incomprehensible to any creature not affected by this spell.

Within the dreamscape, all distance is condensed. You can use the dreamscape to traverse any distance, and moving between any two points on any two planes takes no more than 1 minute while within the dreamscape. You reach the point in the dreamscape corresponding to your intended destination automatically while affected by this spell. Others can follow you easily.

You can use your action to exit the dreamscape. Each creature you are touching teleports into an unoccupied space at the corresponding location, bringing along everything they are wearing or carrying.

Creatures can't exit the dreamscape ceremoniously unless they are affected by this spell, but can use their action to make a DC 15 Wisdom check, exiting at the point at which they entered on a success. On a failed check, they arrive in a random location within 1 mile of that point. You must also make this check if the spell ends while you're it the dreamscape.

While you're affected by the spell, you can also use your bonus action to step through the dreamscape. You teleport into an unoccupied space you can see within 500 feet of you.

Grim Banishment

10th-level conjuration, Sorcerer, Wizard

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 300 feet
• Components: V, S, M (sulfur crystals and diamonds with a combined worth of 750 gp which the spell consumes)
• Duration: Instantaneous

You teleport a creature within range into a state of devastating mortal peril. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be affected by the spell.

When you cast the spell, you choose one of the following terrible fates. You can also design and create different forms of terrible fate, at the DM's discretion.

Nailed to the Sky. This effect actually places the target so far from the surface of the world and at such a speed that it keeps missing the surface as it falls back, so it enters an eternal orbit. The target is 15,000 feet from the surface of the earth. A creature with a flying speed can attempt to venture back.

Depending on the world where this effect is used, conditions so far from its surface may be deadly. Deleterious effects include scorching heat (or cold), and vacuum. A creature subject to these conditions takes 2d6 points of fire (or cold) damage and 1d4 points of necrotic damage from the vacuum at the start of each of its turns. The target immediately begins to suffocate.

Jettisoned to the Depths This effect drowns the target at the lowest point in the ocean. A creature with a swimming speed can attempt to venture back, but the area is difficult terrain, and is frequently barricaded by solid stone.

A creature subject to these conditions is squeezed and blinded, and takes 6d6 points of bludgeoning damage from the intense pressure at the start of each of its turns. The target immediately begins to suffocate, and may encounter with hostile creatures as it ventures to the surface. The area within 1 mile of the lowest depths is equally inhospitable.

Hurled into the Core. This effect entombs the target in the molten core at the center of the world. The target is around 4000 miles from the surface of the earth. A creature with a burrowing speed that can burrow through rock can attempt to venture back.

A creature subject to these conditions is squeezed, and takes 10d10 points of fire damage from the intense heat and pressure at the start of each of its turns. The target immediately begins to suffocate. The area within 100 miles of the core is equally inhospitable.

Living Hellballs

10th-level evocation, Sorcerer, Wizard

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 150 feet
• Components: V, S, M (A tiny ball of bat guano and sulfur)
• Duration: Instantaneous

You surround yourself with a set of six encircling hellballs. The hellballs are fragments of magical energy: they don’t occupy their space and can’t be targeted, but they can each telepathically communicate their emotions with you. It is infrequent that a hellball experiences an emotion beside destructive glee. Each hellball lasts until it detonates, or until the spell ends.

When you see a creature take an action, you can choose to roll a d8 (no action required). If you roll a number that is greater than or equal to your current number of hellballs, one of the hellballs launches directly towards the target and detonates. Creatures within a 20-foot radius sphere centered on the target must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 10d6 damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success.

You can choose the damage type of each hellball you create individually, from acid, cold, fire, force, lightning, or thunder. You choose which hellball launches when the effect activates.

Manifest Imagination

10th-level illusion, Wizard

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 10 feet
• Components: V, S, M (A shard of pressurised matter of the same type as the items you create, worth 1,000 gp)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

You pull wisps of shadow material from the Shadowfell to create any number of nonliving objects of vegetable matter, stone, metal, or crystal. These objects must be created to fit within a 30-foot cube within range, and the objects must each be of a form and material that you have seen before. You can create objects composed of multiple materials, such as a furnished house, a bridge, or a huge ring beset with a block of pure adamantine.

While the spell persists, you can use your action dismiss all of the objects you have created with this spell. If you do this, you can designate a new 30-foot cube within range and conjure a new set of objects within as part of the same action.

Using any material created by this spell as another spell's material component causes that spell to fail. Objects you create in this way are visibly magical, and shed a lustre of dim light out to a radius of 5 feet.

If you maintain your concentration on this spell for its whole duration, the set of objects you were concentrating on when the spell ends become permanent, and last until dispelled. Otherwise, the creations disappear when the spell ends.

Omniscience

10th-level divination, Cleric, Wizard

• Casting Time: 1 minute
• Range: Self
• Components: V
• Duration: Instantaneous

When you cast this spell, you mentally ask any question and receive a truthful, exact, and comprehensive response. You learn the response in an instant, unless the response would take more than 10 minutes for you to explain and comprehend, in which case you learn nothing. The spell can’t determine a creature’s motives or past thoughts, but you can use it to attempt to determine their past actions.

You can also use this spell to determine the most likely path of fate for events happening up to 1 day in the future. None of these are ordained to come true, but they represent the best guess that one could make if one was given a knowledge of everything in the universe.

Reverspell

10th-level abjuration, Sorcerer, Wizard

• Casting Time: 1 reaction, when you see a creature within range cast a spell.
• Range: 300 feet
• Components: V
• Duration: Instantaneous

You attempt to interrupt a creature in the process of casting a spell, perfectly subverting their attempt. If the creature is casting a spell of 9th level or lower, the spell fails, and you can immediately cast a copy of the spell as part of the same reaction without requiring components, and without requiring you to know how to cast the reversed spell. The reversed spell is cast at 10th level.

Soul Dominion

10th-level enchantment, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard

• Casting Time: 10 minutes
• Range: Unlimited
• Components: V, S
• Duration: 10 minutes

You attempt to temporarily take control of another creature with whom you are familiar (by observing or successfully scrying the target) on any plane of existence. If the target is undead or incorporeal, the spell fails. The target is aware of the attempted takeover as a strange, momentary tingling, and makes a Wisdom saving throw, ending the spell on a success. On a failed save, you are able to control the target’s body as if it were your own for the duration, taking actions, hearing, seeing, feeling, smelling, and tasting everything the target senses. You can still move your own body and take actions as you command the target

Once the spell ends, the target resumes control of its body, fully aware of all events that occurred, having been a helpless witness trapped inside its own body. The target can make an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC, learning your name and general nature on a success.

Synthetic Lifeform

10th-level necromancy, Druid, Wizard

• Casting Time: 8 hours
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S, M (Spittle, alcohol, soap, clean salt water, and a stoppered diamond vial worth 15,000gp which the spell consumes)
• Duration: Instantaneous

You attempt to create an infant of a new life form, designing every aspect of it. You determine its appearance, creature statistics, and entire biology: lifespan, age of maturity, its requirements for sustaining itself, methods of reproducing, etc. You don't determine individual characteristics or personality - only the general disposition of the species.

Your DM assigns a suitable CR to the creature. They may wish to use the rules in chapter 9 of the Dungeon Master's Guide, page 273, "Creating a Monster".

You then roll a d20 and add your spellcasting modifier: if the result is greater than or equal to twice the creature's CR, the creature crawls out of the diamond vial as a fully formed infant of the species. Otherwise, the spell fails. You may need to produce multiple infants before the species can propagate without your intervention.

You can also design a race with complete racial features using this spell. If you do, your DM assigns a CR of 5 or greater, as they see fit.

Finally, you can use this spell to create infants of any species that already exists, determining success using the creature's usual CR. You treat any particular race or lineage as a CR of 5.

Terraform

10th-level transmutation, Druid, Wizard

• Casting Time: 1 bonus action
• Range: 1 mile
• Components: S
• Duration: 10 minutes

You enchant yoursef with the power to mold the ground to your whim.

As an action on each of your turns for the duration, you can change the ley of the land. Choose an area of the planet’s surface within range that you can see, up to 500 feet in diameter. You instantaneously mold that area, creating slopes and peaks to your taste, and raising or lowering any parts of the terrain by up to 100 feet.

Your terraforming must obey certin limits: any cliffs you form must be no more than 100 feet tall and must plateau for twice as many feet as their height, and any other inclines you form must have an incline of less than 45 degrees. You therefore can’t cause the ground to fold back on itself, or use this spell to excavante caverns. Additionally, you can’t raise a mountain more than 3 miles above the surface of the planet, nor can you excavate a trench more than 3 miles below.

The changes are permanent, and occur harmlessly over the course of your turn. Creatures and objects within the area are raised or lowered harmlessly with the terrain, and the terrain doesn’t buckle or shatter as a result of this movement unless you intend it to do so. Rearranging the terrain might cause loose stone, water, or lava to descend in different directions over the course of the duration, however.

Your DM determines the ecological impacts of your terrain change. For example, you may remove a rain shadow, converting an area of desert terrain into grassland terrain over the course of the coming decades.

Trust

10th-level illusion, Bard, Wizard

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: None
• Duration: 1 hour

Trust is an illusion - and with the inception of this spell, the universe becomes a fundamentally uncertain place, where nothing can ever be known for sure again.

For the spell's duration, whenever you fail an Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma saving throw, you can choose to succeed instead.

Additionally, divination magic, magic that would determine your alignment, and magic that would determine whether you are lying all return readings of your choice.

As part of the casting of this spell, you can provide a false explanation of your behavior over the next hour. When divination magic is used to determine your behavior, it instead returns readings based on the false explanation. For example, if a creature uses legend lore to summarise lore about you, the spell might supplement its summary with your false explanation.

Verdigris Wave

10th-level conjuration, Druid

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: sight
• Components: V, S, M (a bindweed root)
• Duration: 1 minute

A gigantic writhing mass of greenery and verdant life springs into existance at a point on the ground within range, and envelops the ground within a 500 foot radius to a depth of three feet. Ground within the verdigris becomes difficult terrain.

At the start of each of your turns after the verdigris appears, its radius expands outwards along the ground by an additional 500 feet. You can exclude one or more areas of any size within the spell's range from being affected.

The verdigris writhes and lashes out towards creatures. When the verdigris appears, and at the start of each of your subsequent turns (after it has expanded), each hostile creature within the verdigris’ area must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 5d10 bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a success. Objects and structures within the area take the same damage.

Each creature that fails the saving throw becomes restrained by the tangle of greenery. A restrained target can use its action to repeat the saving throw, freing itself on a success.

The verdigris persists for 1 week after the spell ends, after which it decays away into the earth with permanent effects. Crops planted within this new terrain become enriched, and yield twice the normal amount of food when harvested. When the verdigris decays, it permanently enriches the terrain to become a terrain type of your choice, from forest, grassland, or swamp.

Wallmaze

10th-level evocation, Wizard

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 300 feet
• Components: V, S, M (A block of bismuth worth 100 gp)
• Duration: 1 hour

As part of the action used to cast this spell, you cast the spells wall of fire, wall of force, wall of ice, wall of stone, wall of thorns, and wind wall. Each spell you cast in this way has a duration of 1 hour, and doesn't require concentration (the wall of stone can't be made permanent).

Each wall must be composed of ten 10-foot-by-20-foot panels, with the same thickness as is specified in their respective descriptions. Each panel must be connected to another panel from this spell, and can appear in any orientation you choose, as a horizontal or vertical barrier or at any angle.

Epic Leveling

Encounter and Milestone system

Alternately, you can forego bothering with experience and use the following easy tables to determine character matchups based on CR. When using this system, you'll grant them experience that will level the party up roughly once every six encounters. You might choose to alternate between boons and levels every six encounters.

The Epic Monster Challenge Rating tables give the optimal challenge rating for an encounter with a single monster (roughly hard to deadly in difficulty), based on the number of characters in the party. The party is assumed to share the same level.

Each useful boon cumulatively increases the required encounter CR. Increase the CR by half the average number of useful boons per character (rounded down).

Learning Epic Spells

Historically, all spells above 9th level have been exceptionally difficult to obtain - they're almost impossible to cast or research, as casting them is often the last time the caster is ever seen. Your DM may choose to use a combination of the following optional rules.

Spell Creation. Certain epic spells may have to be developed from scratch. The process of development can be a time-consuming and expensive process. Creating an epic spell requires it to be on your spell list, and requires two other creatures with a feature that grants them access to 8th level spells to work together with you for 1 week, expending all of their spell slots each day. At the end of the week, you must expend materials of the DM's choice worth 25,000 gp, and each creature must then make a successful DC 15 (Arcana) check with their spellcasting modifier.

Once you have developed the spell, you are free to learn or prepare it. The other creatures that helped you develop the spell don't gain access to it.

Unknown Knowledge. The secrets to casting certain epic spells might be hidden or lost. They might be hidden behind a long paper trail of convoluted and indecipherable clues, maps and hidden charters, or sequestered in concealed castles guarded by planar beings, or guarded by a booby-trapped temple from a long-forgotten civilization whose collapse was ensured by the spell's first casting. Finding a spell hidden in any one of these ways will require around 25,000 XP worth of questing and adventuring.

Gifts from the Gods. The ability to cast certain epic spells might be bestowed as blessings from beyond the realms of mortals. A deity might offer such power as an offering of gratitude for service in protecting the multiverse, as a bribe, as a means to trick you into self-sabotage, or as a final, desperate attempt to arm you against a coming disaster.

Epic DCs

Epic levels increase your proficiency bonus above +6, which exacerbates some of the issues with saving throws in high level combat. Your DM may choose to use the following optional rule.

From 21st level onwards, all player characters' saving throw DCs don't increase with proficiency bonus. All saving throw DCs, such as Ki Save DCs and Spell Save DCs, are instead calculated as follows.

Epic Class Levels

Each class is given with a corresponding table, describing the effects it gains beyond 20th level.

Shatter The Weak

Beginning at 21st level, damage you take from creatures of CR 5 or lower is reduced by 20, and whenever you damage a creature of CR 5 or lower with an attack, you can choose to knock the target unconscious at 0 hit points.

Additionally, your weapon attacks deal double damage to objects and structures.

Titanic Grasp

Beginning at 22nd level, you gain the following benefits.

Followers

Once you reach 22nd level in this class, you begin to amass followers. Any creature who has named you during any sort of rite or ritual within the past week is considered your follower.

When you cast a Cleric spell, you can gain a bonus to one of the damage and healing rolls based on your number of followers. The bonus begins at +1 for 0 followers, and increases according to the following table.

Divine Proxy

Beginning at 25th level, your body undergoes a change as you are granted a sliver of divinity by your deity. At any one time after you reach this level, you can spend 1 week of rest, relaxation, and divine prayer in the presence of your deity and choose a creature type from the following: fey, fiend, or celestial. You become that type, replacing your other creature types. You can't choose a different creature type again. Your body may also undergo permanent changes, perhaps becoming flecked with scintillating colours or being permanently enrobed by an ethereal mist.

Once you have undergone this change, you also gain the following benefits. Your deity can choose

Divine Resistance. When you fail a saving throw against a spell of 5th level or lower, you can choose to succeed instead. Once you've used this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you use it again.

Endless Divinity. When you cast a spell from your Epic Spell List that only targets yourself, its duration becomes 1 year. If the spell requires concentration, you must concentrate.

Demigodhood

Beginning at 25th level, you finally become ready to take on the responsibilities of divinity.

If you allow it, friendly creatures can define you as their deity, or as their otherworldly patron, when they gain their first level in the cleric or warlock class. These creatures are considered your followers You must intervene when a feature calls upon you to to intervene.

Additionally, as a bonus action, you can see through such a follower's eyes and hear what the follower hears until the end of your next turn, gaining the benefits of any special senses the follower has. During this time, you and your follower can hear each other, and you can expend a spell slot of 5th level or higher to teleport to a point you can see within 5 feet of them, regardless of thier current plane of existence.

You can also begin running some of your deity's workload in their place, if you and your deity so desire.

Taking over these tasks may require you to expend your power and spell slots in certain ways, or may require you to be mantled with minor divine capabilities of some kind. These might include the ability to manipulate the emotions of creatures on a certain plane, the ability to keep plants alive when they otherwise would not, or the ability to determine the approximate nature of the weather.

Tender of the Grove

Beginning at 22nd level, you gain the following benefits.

Natural Allegiance. All beasts are considered friendly to you, and you can communicate freely with them. Additionally, as long as the errands are relatively easy, your friendly beast companions will happily run minor errands for you, should you so desire.

Masterful Summons. Beasts can leap to your aid across any boundary. When you roll initiative, you can immediately gain the benefits of a conjure animals spell as if it was cast using a 3rd level slot. The spell lasts for 1 minute without requiring your concentration. Beasts summoned in this way are being teleported to your side by the conjuration, so they are considered beasts instead of fey. Your magic protects the creatures you summon: if they die, or if the spell ends, they are returned and reincarnated on their home plane at full health, and cured of all negative conditions.

Guardian Spirit of the Lands

Beginning at 25th level, druids find themselves comfortable to retire into the undergrowth as ethereal, totemic spirits, acting as guardians and overseers of the natural world, and rarely noticed by the realms of men.

You can use your Wild Shape to transform into a beast of CR 2 or lower. This special form lasts for 24 hours. While in this form, you ignore spells' material components, you gain telepathy out to a range of 30 feet, and you create an opalescent, silvery mist out to a radius of 5 feet that leaves you lightly obscured.

Using a special form continuously for a year makes the effect permanent.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a long rest before you use it again.

Trademaking. For each inhabited freehold that you own, you don't have to pay maintenance costs, and you collect a monthly revenue of 10 silver pieces for each inhabitant of the freehold due to trade, tariffs, and taxes.

Warband. As long as you own one or more freeholds, you attract a body of six mercenaries (three CR 2 scouts and three CR 2 thugs), led by an above-average fighter (a CR 5 gladiator). These people will serve as mercenaries for free, so long as you maintain your freehold. If the mercenaries die, you can attract replacements over the course of one week by investing 50 gp into expansions to the freehold for each replacement mercenary required.

Beginning at 25th level, you gain one additional use of your action surge. Additionally, whenever you roll initiative, you regain one expended use of your action surge.

If the target is on the astral plane, it must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or its silver cord is severed.

One With Ki

Beginning at 23rd level, you can use your bonus action to regain all your Ki. You have a number of uses of this feature equal to your Wisdom modifier, and you regain any expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Adamantine Soul

If you end this movement within 5 feet of the target, you can also use your Lay on Hands on the target as part of the same reaction. Once you use Lay on Hands in this way, you must finish a short or long rest before you do so again.

Beacon of Command. You gain the ability to enchant and empower whole armies as they stand at your side. As an action, you can increase the range of all of your auras from 30 feet to 300 feet. This effect lasts until the start of your next turn.

Beginning at 23rd level, you recover the use of your 20th-level Sacred Oath feature whenever you finish a short or long rest.

Planeswalker

Beginning at 22nd level, you gain the following benefits:

Navigational Mastery. You can cast the find the path spell once without expending a spell slot. When cast in this way, you can name destinations on other planes of existence, and the spell may be able to direct you along a path through planar portals leading to the destination. If there is no such path, the spell ends. Once you cast find the path in this way, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

Planar Survivalist. When a friendly creature within 60 feet of you makes a saving throw against effects caused by environmental hazards, such as slippery ice, extreme heat, the pervasive goodwill of Bytopia, or the mind-wiping effects of the river Styx, the creature can replace the d20 result with your Wisdom score.

Trailblazer. Friendly creatures within 60 feet of you have a +10 bonus to movement speed. When an affected creature leaves the area, the movement bonus persists until the start of their next turn.

Dominating Ambush

Beginning at 23rd level, when you roll initiative, you gain a special turn that takes place before other creatures can act. On this turn, you can move as normal, and you regain your action, reaction and bonus action. If you use this action to take the Attack action, you may make one weapon attack only, and you can't use the action to cast a spell.

If more than one creature in an encounter has this feature, they all act first in order of initiative, then the regular initiative order begins. If you would normally be surprised at the start of an encounter, you are not surprised but you do not gain this extra turn.

Blast Shaping

At 22nd level, you gain the following benefits.

Eldritch Burst. As an action, you can create a massive burst of eldritch energy. Each other creature within 20 feet of you must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against your Spell Save DC or take 4d10 force damage.

Eldritch Ray. As an action, you can project a beam of your patron's power. Each creature within a 30 foot line, 5 feet wide originating from you, must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 4d10 force damage.

Epic Arcanum

At 23rd level, your patron bestows an impossibly powerful magical secret, drawing on every fragment of strength they have. Choose one 10th-level spell from the warlock spell list as this arcanum.

Vessel of the Patron

Beginning at 25th level, you can touch a creature and expend one of your pact magic slots to have the target regain an expended spell slot of the same level or lower (if it has one).

Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you use it again.

Eldritch Invocations

At 2nd level, a warlock gains the Eldritch Invocations feature. Here are new options for that feature, in addition to the options in the Player's Handbook.

If an eldritch invocation has a prerequisite, you must meet it to learn the invocation. You can learn the invocation at the same time that you meet its prerequisite. A level prerequisite refers to your level in this class.

Vampiric Eldritch Smite

Prerequisites: 21st level, Pact of the Blade
Once per turn when you hit a creature with your pact weapon, you can expend a warlock spell slot to deal an extra 1d6 force damage to the target, plus another 1d6 per level of the spell slot, and you restore health equal to half the total damage dealt by the attack. You can't use this feature on a turn when you use another Eldritch Smite.

At 25th level, whenever you expend a spell slot to cast a spell of 1st or 2nd level, you gain the ability to cast that same spell without expending a spell slot until you next finish a short or long rest.

New Spells

These spells are intended to be totally exclusive to the classes they're given to. Unless your DM deems otherwise, none of these spells (nor the 10th-level spells) can be learned through features that allow you to learn spells from a class of your choice, such as the Ritual Caster feat or the bard's Magical Secrets feature.

Entangling Ammunition

6th-level conjuration, Ranger

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S, M (an ivy root)
• Duration: 8 hours

You enrobe yourself in conjuration magic, allowing you to generate ammunition.

For the duration, you can use your action to conjure an enchanted piece of entangling ammunition in your free hand. You choose the type of ammunition that is conjured. If you conjure a second piece of entangling ammunition, the first piece immediately vanishes.

When this magical ammunition is used in a ranged weapon attack, it deals an additional 4d6 damage on a hit.

Hit or miss, the ammunition transforms into a writhing mass of ensnaring vines. Creatures within 10 feet of the attack's target must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 4d6 slashing damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success. Each creature that fails the saving throw also becomes restrained by the vines. A creature restrained in this way can use its action to make a Strength saving throw, freeing itself on a success. Each restrained creature is also freed after 1 minute, or if the ammunition vanishes.

Meteoric Smite

6th-level evocation, Paladin

• Casting Time: 1 bonus action
• Range: Self
• Components: V
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute.

You strike your target with a rocketing blow that has the force of a meteor, sending them flying.

The next time you hit a creature with a weapon attack before this spell ends, the attack deals an extra 7d6 fire damage to the creature, and you hurl the target up to 30 feet in a straight line in any direction.

If the target collides with a creature or object during this movement, its travel ends in a meteoric impact, and each creature within 10 feet of the target must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 3d6 thunder damage and fall prone. Each object within the radius takes also takes this damage.

10th-Level Spells

Deity Drain

10th-level enchantment, Cleric, Warlock, Wizard

• Casting Time: 72 hours
• Range: Unlimited
• Components: V, S, M (an ornate deed bearing the target’s true name, worth at least 25,000 gp)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You speak a being’s name at the start of this spell’s casting. When the casting ends, you attempt to fracture the being’s power to a point at which it can be slain. The target must make a Charisma check against your Spell Save DC. On a failed check, all spells affecting the target end, it is teleported into an unoccupied space of your choice within 10 feet of you, and it becomes leashed by three shimmering chains which bind it in place for the duration.

The chains are magical constructions of force, and have an AC of 20 and 100 hp. While they persist, the being can’t teleport, use portals, or use planar travel, and if it dies, it is permanently destroyed, with its essence being completely erased from the universe, and no creature can revive it by any means for the next century. The DM determines the being’s statistics. A demigod often has a CR of 26 or higher, and a god is unlikely to have a CR any lower than 30, nor an AC any lower than 25.

This spell’s casting time will naturally require you to forego sleep for 3 days. Your DM may require you to suffer levels of exhaustion to cast this spell.

Déjà Vu

10th-level divination, Bard, Sorcerer, Wizard

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Components: V, S, M (agate dust with a total value of at least 5,000 gp, which the spell consumes.)
• Range: 10 feet
• Duration: Instantaneous

This spell targets you and up to ten other willing creatures within range. You transmit the souls those targets of back through time to a point between 100 days and 100 years in the past, arriving within their own bodies. Each target arrives with a strong sense of déjà vu as they remember important events that happened in what is now their future. The spell’s components are fully consumed at the point in time when you arrive.

Each target arrives in the same position, level, and physical condition as they were at the point in time to which they are transported. The spell doesn’t transport a target back in time any further than the date of their 13th birthday.

Every event that happened in the original timeline is likely to happen again in the same way as it originally did, but random chance is reintroduced if a target’s actions affect the event. For example, all dice will be re-rolled for any combat or game of chance that the players participate in. The new timeline can thus quickly deviate from the original timeline. The original timeline exists only in each target's memory, and is otherwise erased from existence.

Diluvial Torrent

10th-level evocation, Cleric, Sorcerer, Wizard

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S
• Duration: 1 minute

The spell instantly creates a 20-foot radius, 100-foot tall cylinder of enchanted water, located 200 feet directly above you. The water falls to the ground as part of the casting of this spell.

Each creature situated within 100 feet of the cylinder where it lands must make a Strength saving throw, taking 20d6 bludgeoning damage and 20d6 force damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success. Each creature damaged in this way falls prone. Objects and structures within the area take the same damage.

The 62,800 cubic feet of water then continues to spread, creating a wave of water that fills a radius of up to 1000 feet on the ground around the point where the water landed. The water can't move uphill from the point at which it landed, and fills in crevices. Each creature this wave hits must succeed on a Strength saving throw, taking 10d6 bludgeoning damage and 10d6 force damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success. Each target that fails the save is also knocked prone by the force of the water. Objects and structures within the area take the same damage.

The water maintains a depth of at least 10 feet over the area it covers. A creature moving through the water must spend 4 feet of movement for every 1 foot it moves. Creatures within the water immediately begin to suffocate.

When the spell ends, the water vanishes.

Divine Health

10th-level transmutation, Cleric

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V
• Duration: 1 hour

You touch a willing creature. For the duration, you grant it the divine protective capabilities of a celestial being.

The target gains the following benefits.

Dreamscape

10th-level illusion, Bard, Druid, Warlock

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: V, S, M (a net hung with ornamental beads)
• Duration: 8 hours

The spell grants you the ability to walk through the slumbering consciousness of any creature that dreams, and to comprehend it.

For the spell's duration, you can spend 1 minute of preparation to enter into the dreamscape. Each creature you are touching is drawn into the regions of dreams, bringing along everything they are wearing or carrying.

The dreamscape is set out like a massive populated map to the contents of the planes, filled with a chaotic spectrum of dolls-house imitations of local masterpieces and dreamers' ideas drawn from those locations. The dreamscape has a fourth dimension: every planck length gap along this extra dimension corresponds to an entirely different plane. It is incomprehensible to any creature not affected by this spell.

Within the dreamscape, all distance is condensed. You can use the dreamscape to traverse any distance, and moving between any two points on any two planes takes no more than 1 minute while within the dreamscape. You reach the point in the dreamscape corresponding to your intended destination automatically while affected by this spell. Others can follow you easily.

You can use your action to exit the dreamscape. Each creature you are touching teleports into an unoccupied space at the corresponding location, bringing along everything they are wearing or carrying.

Creatures can't exit the dreamscape ceremoniously unless they are affected by this spell, but can use their action to make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw, exiting at the point at which they entered on a success. On a failed save, they arrive in a random location within 1 mile of that point. You also make this saving throw if the spell ends while you're it the dreamscape.

While you're affected by the spell, you can also use your bonus action to step through the dreamscape. You teleport into an unoccupied space you can see within 500 feet of you.

Grim Banishment

10th-level conjuration, Sorcerer, Wizard

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

You teleport a creature within range into a state of devastating mortal peril. The target must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or be banished to a terrible fate. If the spell ends before 1 minute has passed, the target returns to the space it left or in the nearest unoccupied space if that space is occupied. Otherwise, the target doesn't return.

When you cast the spell, you choose one of the following terrible fates. You can also design and create additional forms of terrible fate, at the DM's discretion.

Nailed to the Sky. This effect actually places the target so far from the surface of the world and at such a speed that it keeps missing the surface as it falls back, so it enters an

eternal orbit. The target is 15,000 feet from the surface of the earth. A creature with a flying speed can attempt to venture back.

Depending on the world where this effect is used, conditions so far from its surface may be deadly. Deleterious effects include scorching heat (or cold), and vacuum. A creature subject to these conditions takes 3d6 points of fire (or cold) damage and 3d6 points of necrotic damage from the vacuum at the start of each of its turns. The target immediately begins to suffocate.

Jettisoned to the Depths This effect drowns the target at the lowest point in the ocean. A creature with a swimming speed can attempt to venture back, but the area is difficult terrain, and is frequently barricaded by solid stone.

A creature subject to these conditions is squeezed and blinded, and takes 6d6 points of bludgeoning damage from the intense pressure at the start of each of its turns. The target immediately begins drowning, and may encounter hostile creatures as it ventures to the surface. The area within 1 mile of the lowest depths is equally inhospitable.

Hurled into the Core. This effect entombs the target in the molten core at the center of the world. The target is around 4000 miles from the surface of the earth. A creature with a burrowing speed that can burrow through rock can attempt to venture back.

A creature subject to these conditions is squeezed, and takes 10d10 points of fire damage from the intense heat and pressure at the start of each of its turns. The target can't breathe. The area within 100 miles of the core is equally inhospitable.

Living Hellballs

10th-level evocation, Sorcerer, Wizard

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 150 feet
• Components: V, S, M (A tiny ball of bat guano and sulfur)
• Duration: Instantaneous

You surround yourself with a set of six encircling hellballs. The hellballs are fragments of magical energy, so they don’t occupy their space and can’t be targeted, but they can each telepathically communicate their emotions with you. It is infrequent that a hellball experiences an emotion beside destructive glee. Each hellball lasts until it detonates, or until the spell ends.

When you see a creature within range take an action, you can choose to roll a d8 (no action required). If you roll a number that is greater than or equal to your current number of hellballs, one of the hellballs launches directly towards the target and detonates. Creatures within a 20-foot radius sphere centered on the target must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 10d6 damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success.

You can choose the damage type of each hellball you create individually, from acid, cold, fire, force, lightning, or thunder. You choose which hellball launches when the effect activates.

Manifest Imagination

10th-level illusion, Wizard

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 10 feet

Omniscience

10th-level divination, Cleric, Wizard

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self
• Components: V
• Duration: Instantaneous

When you cast this spell, you mentally ask any question and receive a truthful, exact, and comprehensive response. You learn the response in an instant, unless the response would take more than 1 minute for you to explain and comprehend, in which case you learn nothing. The spell can’t determine a creature’s motives or past thoughts, but you can use it to attempt to determine their past actions.

You can also use this spell to determine the most likely path of fate for events happening up to 1 day in the future. None of these are ordained to come true, but they represent the best guess that one could make if one was given a knowledge of everything in the universe.

Reverspell

10th-level abjuration, Sorcerer, Wizard

• Casting Time: 1 reaction, when you see a creature within range cast a spell.
• Range: 300 feet
• Components: S, M (polished calcite worth 100gp, which the spell consumes)
• Duration: Instantaneous

You attempt to interrupt a creature in the process of casting a spell, perfectly subverting their attempt. If the creature is casting a spell of 10th level or lower, the spell fails, and you can immediately cast a copy of the spell as part of the same reaction without requiring components, and without requiring you to know how to cast the reversed spell. The reversed spell is cast at its lowest level.

Soul Dominion

10th-level enchantment, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard

• Casting Time: 10 minutes
• Range: Unlimited
• Components: V, S
• Duration: 10 minutes

You attempt to temporarily take control of another creature with whom you are familiar (by observing or successfully scrying the target) on any plane of existence. If the target is undead or incorporeal, the spell fails. The target is aware of the attempted takeover as a strange, momentary tingling, and makes a Wisdom saving throw, ending the spell on a success. On a failed save, you are able to control the target’s body as if it were your own for the duration, taking actions, hearing, seeing, feeling, smelling, and tasting everything the target senses. You can still move your own body and take actions as you command the target.

Once the spell ends, the target resumes control of its body, fully aware of all events that occurred, having been a helpless witness trapped inside its own body. The target can make an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC, learning your name and general nature on a success.

Terraform

10th-level transmutation, Druid, Wizard

• Casting Time: 1 bonus action
• Range: 1 mile
• Components: S
• Duration: 10 minutes

You enchant yoursef with the power to mold the ground to your whim.

As an action on each of your turns for the duration, you can change the ley of the land. Choose an area of the planet’s surface within range that you can see, up to 500 feet in diameter. You instantaneously mold that area, creating slopes and peaks to your taste, and raising or lowering any parts of the terrain by up to 100 feet.

Your terraforming must obey certin limits: any cliffs you form must be no more than 100 feet tall and must plateau for twice as many feet as their height, and any other inclines you form must have an incline of less than 45 degrees. You therefore can’t cause the ground to fold back on itself, or use this spell to excavante caverns. Additionally, you can’t raise a mountain more than 3 miles above the surface of the planet, nor can you excavate a trench more than 3 miles below.

The changes are permanent, and occur harmlessly over the course of your turn. Creatures and objects within the area are raised or lowered harmlessly with the terrain, and the terrain doesn’t buckle or shatter as a result of this movement unless you intend it to do so. Rearranging the terrain might cause loose stone, water, or lava to descend in new directions over the course of the duration, however.

Your DM determines the ecological impacts of your terrain change. For example, you may remove a rain shadow, converting an area of desert terrain into grassland terrain over the course of the coming decades.

Trust

10th-level illusion, Bard, Wizard

• Casting Time: 1 minute
• Range: Self
• Components: None
• Duration: 1 hour

For the duration of this spell, whenever you fail an Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma saving throw, you can choose to succeed instead.

Additionally, divination magic, magic that would determine your alignment, and magic that would determine whether you are lying all return readings of your choice.

As part of the casting of this spell, you can provide a false explanation of your behavior over the next hour. When divination magic is used to determine your behavior, it instead returns readings based on the false explanation. For example, if a creature uses legend lore to summarise lore about you, it will supplement its summary with your false explanation.

Verdigris Wave

10th-level conjuration, Druid

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Sight
• Components: V, S, M (a bindweed root)
• Duration: 1 minute

A gigantic writhing mass of greenery and verdant life springs into existance at a point on the ground within range, and envelops the ground within a 500 foot radius to a depth of three feet. Ground within the verdigris becomes difficult terrain.

You can exclude one or more areas of any size within the spell's range from being affected. At the start of each of your turns after the verdigris appears, its radius expands outwards along the ground by an additional 500 feet.

The verdigris writhes and lashes out towards creatures. When the verdigris appears, and at the start of each of your subsequent turns (after it has expanded), each creature within the verdigris’ area must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 5d10 bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a success. Objects and structures within the area take the same damage.

Each creature that fails the saving throw becomes restrained by the tangle of greenery. A restrained target can use its action to repeat the saving throw, freing itself on a success.

The verdigris persists for 1 week after the spell ends, after which it decays away into the earth. Crops planted within this new terrain become enriched, and yield twice the normal amount of food when harvested. When the verdigris decays, it permanently enriches the terrain beneath it, and that terrain becomes forest, grassland, or swamp (your choice).

Wallmaze

10th-level evocation, Wizard

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 300 feet
• Components: V, S, M (A block of bismuth worth 100 gp)
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour

As part of the action used to cast this spell, you create the effects of the spells wall of fire, wall of ice, wall of stone, wall of thorns, and wind wall. Each of these effects last for the duration of wallmaze (Concentrating on wallmaze for the full duration makes the effect permanent).

Each wall must be composed of ten 10-foot-by-20-foot panels, with the same thickness as is specified in their respective descriptions. Each panel must be connected to another panel from this spell, and can appear in any orientation you choose, as a horizontal or vertical barrier or at any angle.
