Arcane Tradition: Acoustics

You are a wizard who focuses on the study of sound, and tries to understand the nature of sound waves and vibrations that are present in all things. Followers of this tradition of Acoustics, often called Acousticians or Sound Sages, often prefer spells that can manipulate sound, and believe that all things have a ‘perfect harmony’ that they aim to tune themselves to, and that the incorrect vibrations within the heart or soul can lead to imbalance. Many of these wizards are musicians, avid linguists, or public speakers, but can also be found in unique roles within a military, or trying to mold the earth with the power of sound and vibrations.

Beginning when you select this tradition at 2nd level, you have acquired the ability to learn and replicate spells at a moment’s notice. When a spell is cast on you or an ally that you can see within 30 feet of you, you or an ally that you can see within 30 feet of you are targeted by an effect of a spell, or you see or hear another creature cast a spell, you can use your reaction to attempt to learn that spell by making an Intelligence (Arcana) check against a DC of 10 + the level of the spell slot used to cast the spell.

You do not learn the spell if the spell cast against you if it is of a level with which you have no spell slots to cast it.

The effect takes place immediately, and the card is then put at the bottom of your deck. If you do not have a set of playing cards, you can roll a d4 on the Card Suit Table to determine the card's suit, and a d12 on the Card Rank Table to determine its rank.

You draw one additional card at 6th, 10th, and 14th level, choosing which card takes effect when you do so. Note: If you do not have a deck of 52 cards, you can roll on the tables below to produce the same effects, rolling a d12 and d4, respectively. You would not roll for the Joker card.

If you roll damage for the spell when you cast it and the spell deals cold damage, increase the damage against every target by 2d12 cold damage. If the spell can deal damage on more than one turn, it deals this extra cold damage only on the turn you cast the spell.

An additional 2nd-level spell slot can increase the strength of the spell. If the spell you cast deals cold damage, the cold damage ignores resistance to cold damage and treats immunity to cold damage as resistance.

An additional 3rd-level spell slot can increase the effectiveness of the spell. If the spell you cast deals cold damage and requires a spell attack roll, you have advantage on the spell attack roll.

Breaking the Curse

Having a character that has a curse associated with them can lead to many fun and exciting moments, both for mechanics and for elements of plot and storytelling. However, should a player decide upon having their character have a curse, it is best to work out some degree of understanding regarding not only the nature of the curse and the ways in which it manifests itself, but also having an understanding of how to end the curse or break it.

Players, should you choose this background for a character, work with your DM to discuss how one would go about breaking your curse. Perhaps your character is fully aware of how to break it, yet the means with which to do so are incredibly difficult to obtain. Or, your character may know very little about the curse, and may only have a small clue or hint towards how to break it, or maybe no clue at all.

People from where you hail from are less willing to assist you if it means putting themselves in harms way.

Additionally, you can requisition simple equipment from other guardians, so long as they are equipped to do so.

Feature: Heretical Ideology

The nature of your study and worship has lead you to a conclusion that, to others, is seen as heretical. It might be a great truth about the gods or how a vast system of higher level clergy operate.

You might have uncovered a fact that has long been forgotten, or unearthed some relic of the past that could rewrite history. It might be information that would be damaging to the general public or to those who maintain high religious power.

Work with your DM to determine the details of your heresy and its impact on the campaign.

You can easily find outposts and hidden groups who are a part of or are similar to your revolution and its ideals, and you can pick out the places of underground political activity in a community.

Suggested Characteristics

Those who hold onto and act upon revolutionary ideas are going to face many obstacles in their lives. Even if many feel the same, there are those, particularly those in power, who will try to stop you. This leads many revolutionaries to hold a specific world view.

Feature: Witch Knowledge

You occasionally see spirits or visions during your journeys that others cannot see. These spirits and visions can be pleasant, or can be ominous and frightening. Your DM may occasionally use this as a guide, or may tie it into a story or plot. Your DM may also allow you to voluntarily evoke these visions through some mechanic of their choice.

Additionally, you have an excellent knowledge of not only the local territory, but also its terrain and natural resources. You can usually call upon the hospitality of locals, and some may even approach you to employ your services regarding the afterlife, medicine, or nature.

Suggested Characteristics

Additional Class Training

There are many reasons as to why someone would become a wizard. From the allure of wielding powerful magic to the seeking of knowledge both old and new, all wizards have a special driving force that compelled them forward onto the path of mastering magic.

While the subsequent roll tables can help with ideas for more specific aspects of your character, this table is meant to expand the options for Class Trainings for wizards, and is meant to serve as a more general part of the backstory for your wizard.

Quantumurgy Spells

Card Toss

(Available for bard, wizard)

Evocation cantrip (cartomancy)

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: 30 feet

Components: V, S, M (a playing card)

Duration: Instantaneous

Your hand glows white hot as you try to strike a creature. Make a melee spell attack against the target. You have advantage on the attack roll if the target is wearing armor made of wood or if the target is made of wood. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 fire damage, and the area you hit it shines dim light out to 5 feet until the start of its next turn.

The spell's damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8).

You choose a section of wood that you can see within range and that fits within a 5-foot cube. You manipulate it in one of the following ways.

• If you target a tree, whether rooted or fallen, you can reshape it to form a new shape that benefit you, such as a place to sit, steps for a makeshift ladder, or form a large open container. The wood you shape cannot be removed from its source of origin, however, nor can it be shaped to form something harmful, such as spears or spikes.

• You cause shapes, colors, or both to appear on the wood or bark, spelling out words, creating images, or shaping patterns. The changes last for 1 hour.

• If the wood you target is on a tree, whether rooted or fallen, you cause it to become difficult terrain as you reshape the bark and branches to twist in various ways. Alternatively, you can cause a fallen tree or a tangled cluster of trees and branches to become normal terrain if it is already difficult terrain. This change lasts for 1 hour.

If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have no more than two of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action.

Ash Prison

(Available for druid, sorcerer, warlock, wizard)

1st-level conjuration

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: 60 feet

Components: V, S, M (a pinch of ash or a piece of charcoal)

Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute

All nonmagical food and drink within a 5-foot-radius sphere centered on a point of your choice within range is spoiled and becomes inedible. Water and drinks turn black and thick, and food becomes covered in mold or blackened sludge.

You unleash a blast of rippling energy in a wave out from you. Each creature in a 15-foot cone originating from you must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 2d8 force damage and the creature’s atomic structure is temporarily altered, and the creature’s movement speed is reduced to 0 until the beginning of its next turn. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn't pushed.

In addition, nonmagical objects that are completely within the area of effect are also altered at the atomic level, rendering them unable to be moved or used for 1 round.

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 1st.

You invite your touch with pulsating white energy. Make a melee spell attack against a creature you can reach. On a hit, the target takes 2d10 force damage, and must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a wave of atomic energy pulses through the creature, affecting its atomical makeup. For 1 minute, the creature has disadvantage on Constitution checks. A creature can repeat this saving throw at the beginning of each of its turns, ending the effect on a successful save.

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 1st.

Arboreal Hammer

(Available for cleric, druid, sorcerer, wizard)

2nd-level transmutation

Casting Time: 1 bonus action

Range: Self

Components: V, S, M (a twig)

Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes

For the duration, you inflict several cuts into your body or another’s before letting the live leech drain the blood. You cure any diseases or poisons that are affecting your body or the creature’s, and for the next hour, you or the creature has advantage on saving throws against diseases and poisons. This spell has no effect on constructs or undead.

You channel the chilling winds of winter into drops of water before hurling a blast of ice at a creature within range, making a ranged spell attack. On a hit, icy winds erupt around the creature in a white flash, causing them to become trapped in a layer of ice and snow. The creature takes 3d6 cold damage, and the creature's speed is reduced by half for 1 minute. The creature can then make a Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns, negating the halved speed on a success.

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for every slot level above 3rd.

You curse a creature to suffer from a minor, harmful effect. Choose a creature within range. The creature must make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC, and creatures who cannot be charmed are immune to this spell. On a failed save, the creature suffers from one of the following effects of your choice for 1 minute:

This Really Itches: The creature suffers from an insatiable itch that covers their entire body. While under this curse, the affected creature must spend its bonus action to scratch at its body. Constructs and undead are immune to this curse.

Um, Say What?: The creature loses the ability to speak clearly, with their words becoming jumbled or out of order. While under this curse, the affected creature has disadvantage on Charisma (Intimidation) and Charisma (Persuasion) checks, and cannot be understood by others, and becomes visibly frustrated when it cannot be understood. Creatures who cannot speak are immune to this curse.

Please Shut Up: The creature loses the ability to be quiet, and cannot speak in anything other than a loud voice or scream. While under this curse, the affected creature has disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks, is incapable of whispering, and must announce its actions as it is performing them, as if narrating their own life. Creatures who cannot speak are immune to this curse.

Argh, My Eye!: The creature swears that something is in its eye, and whatever it is causes an irritating feeling. While under this curse, the affected creature has disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight, their vision becomes blurry, and they must use a free action to rub at their eye. Creatures without organic eyes or without eyes are immune to this curse.

Who Hurt You?: The creature becomes compelled to tell others about their life and feelings in a either a sad, angry, or melancholy manner (the choice of which is up to the DM). While under this curse, the affected creature must roll 1d6 at the beginning of its turn. On an odd number, the creature begins telling others that can hear it about terrible events that have happened to it throughout its life. On an even number, the creature begins telling others about how it is currently feeling, or how its feelings towards another creature or place. Other creatures have advantage on Wisdom (Insight) checks made against the creature. Creatures who cannot speak are immune to this curse.

Please Love Me: The creature falls maddeningly in love with one creature that it can see within 30 feet of it. While under this curse, the affected creature can not target the creature that it loves with an attack or spell, and must instead choose one other creature that it can see within range of the attack or spell, insisting that this second creature is trying to steal the first creature’s love away from them. Constructs and undead are immune to this curse.

A creature under one of these curses can attempt to break free from it by repeating the Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC at the end of each of its turns.
