Mesmer by

## Mesmer
A half elf waits patiently behind the front lines of her <br> comrades. She studies the enemy wizard waiting for <br> him to make his move. Finally he begins to mutter a <br> spell, gesturing and pointing toward her allies. <br> Suddenly, he  kneels over screaming, his spell <br> interruped.  The woman smirks and looks for her <br> next victim.

A smuggler guarding a shipment patrols his safe  house. <br> He feels a faint haze creeping into his thoughts. Pain begins to shoot through his brain as time seems to slow down. He kneels and tries to come to his senses.  The last thing he sees before his mind succumbs to madness are four identical halflings walking toward him, all smirking and glimmering.

A human fighter charges unwaveringly into the goblin's cave. He cuts through the ranks of goblins to confront their ogre chieftain. The ogre raises its greatclub and smashes it into the fighter's side, but the fighter feels no pain. Quite the opposite, he feels invigorated by the blow and uses the rush of adrenaline to slay his foe. He glances back and winks at his companion for having his back yet again.

Mesmers are masters of illusion and control, subverting an enemy’s energy for their own use, and that of their allies. Their skills provide excellent support, turning enemies’ powers against them and changing the very fabric of reality to hinder foes and help allies. The magic mesmers wield is potent enough to drive most creatures to insanity after prolonged exposure. Their powers of domination allow them to take control of the enemy's mind, interrupting and punishing their actions and quickly driving them mad. Their unique illusionary talents can slow or even halt enemy movement and spell casting, or cause imaginary illnesses that drain health and energy from foes while healing and energizing allies. While mesmers are not known for brute strength, their ability to confuse, distract, and drain the enemy’s resources more than compensates.

### Manipulators of the Weave
Very few people, including other spellcasters, understand how mesmers wield their magic. It isn't something that can be taught. Every mesmer, whether from genetics or a key event, is gifted with the Sight ─ a unique ocular filter that allows a mesmer to perceive the raw energy of the Weave that flows around every creature and throughout the land.

Through their perception of the Weave, mesmers manipulate and repurpose it to cast powerful spells and create illusions. They target the minds of their enemies with this raw power to drive them insane. By interrupting the flow of the Weave, a mesmer can halt a creature's spellcasting, disrupt its actions, and conduct devastating mental assaults.

### Perception, Insight, and Arcana
Once an individual gains their Sight, they are sent away, sometimes against their will, to train to become a mesmer. Perception, Insight, and Arcana; these three skills form the pillars of a mesmer's training. Mesmers in training spend months performing mental drills to hone these skills. The core of mesmer spellcasting revolves around predicting your target's actions and disrupting them.

Beginning with perception, every mesmer must practice absorbing their surroundings to be able to quickly and accurately process information to make efficient decisions. It takes a perceptive eye or ear to catch even the subtlest of spells being cast in the distance. And it's a mesmer's job to recongize patterns in the Weave and stop those spells from taking affect.

Insight allows a mesmer to get a read on their target. They gain a deeper understanding of their opponent's goal to predict their next action. By knowing what a enemy wants, they are able to target them with disruptive magic that will subvert their efforts. This allows a mesmer to always stay one step ahead of their enemy.

The final stage of training focuses entirely on the arcana encompassing the intricacies of spellcasting. Mesmers study the components that comprise a spell and its magical signature in the Weave. Archmages and powerful sorcerers demonstrate casting a wide array of spells - both simple and complex. Through astute observation and teachings, mesmers become adept at identifying spells while they are being cast. 
### Creating a Mesmer
Creating a mesmer requires a backstory related to one of the mesmer facets. As a starting character, you'll need to decide how you gained your gift of the Sight. Were you born with it? Were you exposed to a rare magic that granted it to you? Perhaps you belong to a mesmer family and you're another generation of reputable mesmers?

Next, you'll choose a mesmer facet which will detail how you wield the energy of the Weave. Maybe you relish in using your magic to drive people insane? Maybe you perfer to work covertly and specialize in illusions? Perhaps you fear the damage you can cause others and instead use your magic to help others?

What kind of work did you do? Were you a city interrogator who broke the minds of criminals? Maybe you were a criminal, using your magic and subterfuge to aid your organization or personal agenda. Whatever your background, you need to decide how your mesmer will fit into society. Most people are distrustful and fearful of mesmers, due to the power they wield. Do you exploit this fear or do you keep your abilities a guarded secret?

#### Quick Build
You can make a mesmer quickly by following these suggestions. First, Wisdom should be your highest ability score, followed by Constitution or Dexterity. Second, choose the Far Traveler background.

#### Multiclassing
If your group uses the optional rule for multiclassing in the *Player's Handbook*, here's what you need to know if you choose the savant as one of your classes.

***Ability Score Minimum.*** As a multiclass character, you must have a Wisdom score of at least 13 to take a level in this class, or to take a level in another class if you are already a mesmer.

***Proficiencies Gained.*** If savant isn't your initial class, here are the proficiencies you gain when you take your first level as a mesmer: light armor and simple weapons.

## Class Features
As a mesmer, you gain the following class features
#### Hit Points
___
- **Hit Dice:** 1d8 per mesmer level
- **Hit Points at 1st Level:** 8 + your Constitution modifier
- **Hit Points at Higher Levels:** 1d8 (or 5) + your Constitution modifier per mesmer level after 1st

#### Proficiencies
___
- **Armor:** Light armor
- **Weapons:** Simple weapons
- **Tools:** None
___
- **Saving Throws:** Wisdom, Intelligence
- **Skills:** Choose three from Deception, History, Insight, Investigation, Medicine, Perception, Persuasion, and Stealth

#### Equipment
You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background:

- *(a)* a quarterstaff or *(b)* light crossbow and 20 bolts
- *(a)* a component pouch or *(b)* an arcane focus
- *(a)* a scholar's pack or *(b)* an explorer's pack
- Leather armor and two daggers

Alternatively, you can start with 4d4 × 10 gp worth of equipment from Chapter 5 of the Player's Handbook.

### Spellcasting
A mesmer's magic stems from their ability to control the energy of the Weave to shape their spells. Mesmers specialize in a form of reactionary spellcasting to hinder their enemy's ability to act and bolster allies. Due to the specialized nature of a mesmer's magic, they do not train to learn the nuances of higher-level spellcasting. Consequently, their knowledge limits them to learn spells of 5th level and below. They counteract their inability to cast higher level spells through the use of unique reactionary spells that greatly disrupt enemies' actions.

##### Energy Point Cost
<div style='column-count:2'>

| Spell Level  | Point Cost |
|:---:|:-----------:|
|  1st  | 2 |
|  2nd  | 3 |
|  3rd  | 5 |
|  4th  | 6 |
|  5th  | 7 |

| Spell Level  | Point Cost |
|:---:|:-----------:|
|  6th  | 9 |
|  7th  | 10 |
|  8th  | 11 |
|  9th  | 13 |

</div>

\columnbreak

#### Energy Points
The Mesmer table shows how many energy points you have to cast your mesmer spells of 1st level and higher. Each spell has a point cost based on its level, shown on the Energy Point Cost table below. Instead of gaining a number of spell slots to cast your spells from the mesmer spell list, you gain a pool of energy points instead. You expend a number of energy points to create a spell slot of a given level, and then use that slot to cast a spell. You can't reduce your energy points total to less than 0, and you regain all spent energy points when you finish a long rest.

#### Cantrips
At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the mesmer spell list. You learn additional mesmer cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Mesmer table.

#### Preparing and Casting Spells
You prepare the list of mesmer spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the mesmer spell list. When you do so, choose a number of mesmer spells equal to your Wisdom modifier + your mesmer level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level no higher than the level shown in the Max Spell Level column of the Mesmer table.

For example, if you are a 5th-level mesmer, your max spell level is 2nd level spells. With a Wisdom score of 16, your list of prepared spells can include eight Spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell *color spray*, you can cast it using energy points for 1st or 2nd level. 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 mesmer spells requires time spent in concentration to connect with the flow of the Weave: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

#### Spellcasting Ability
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your mesmer spells, since your magic revolves around targeting the minds of your opponents and relies heavily on your own mental dexterity. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a mesmer spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

#### Ritual Casting
You can cast a mesmer spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.

#### Spellcasting Focus
You can use an arcane focus (see chapter 5, "Equipment") as a spellcasting focus for your mesmer spells.

### Mesmer Facet
At 1st level, you choose a Mesmer Facet, which details the branch of mental manipulation that you specialize in: Domination, Illusion, or Inspiration, all detailed at the end of the class description.

Your choice grants you features when you choose it at 1st level and again at 6th, 10th, and 15th level.

#### Facet Spells
Each facet has a list of spells-its facet spells-that you gain at the Mesmer levels noted in the facet description. Once you gain a facet spell, you always have it prepared, and it doesn't count against the number of Spells you can prepare each day.

If you have a facet spell that doesn't appear on the Mesmer spell list, the spell is nonetheless a Mesmer spell for you.

### Rising Madness
Starting at 2nd level, creatures you subject to your psychic manipulation are slowly driven mad. This madness is represented through Insanity points. A creature loses all Insanity points after 1 minute of not taking psychic damage from you.

A creature gains Insanity points in the following ways:
* When you deal psychic damage to a creature, it gains 1 Insanity point. A creature can only gain 1 point this way per turn.
* When a creature fails a saving throw against a mesmer spell or feature by 5 or more, it gains 1 Insanity point.
* When a creature rolls a 1 on a saving throw against a mesmer spell or feature, it gains 4 Insanity points.

#### Corrupt Psyche
When a creature reaches 4 Insanity points and is within 60 feet of you, you can immediately force it (no action required) to make a Wisdom saving throw (DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier). On a successful save, the creature loses all Insanity points. On a failed save, the creature goes insane until the end of its next turn. A creature who is insane can't gain Insanity points.

Roll on the Insanity table to the right and add your mesmer level to the result (maximum 100) to determine the effect.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier. You regain all uses of this feature when you finish a short or long rest.

### Energy Drain
At 3rd level, you learn to subvert a creature's mental energy to augment your spellcasting. As an action, a creature
you can see within 60 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC equals to your mesmer spell save DC). On a failed save, it takes 1d6 psychic damage + your Wisdom modifier and you regain energy points equal to half the damage dealt (rounded down). You can't regain more points than the energy points column in the Mesmer table.

This feature's damage increases by 1d6 when you reach 5th level (2d6), 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6).

You may use this feature once, and regain its use when you finish a short or long rest.

##### Insanity Table
| d100  | Effect |
|:---:|:-----------|
|  01-30  | The creature loses control of its muscular system. Its speed is halved and it can't take reactions. |
|  31-45  | The creature sees you as a lost loved one and is charmed by you.   |
|  46-60  | The creature experiences vivid hallucinations and has disadvantage on all attack rolls. |
|  61-70  | The creature believes it is on fire, dropping prone and staying that way for the duration.  |

|  76-80  | The creature becomes incapacitated and spends the duration screaming, laughing, or weeping. |
|  81-85  | The creature realizes that it is its own worst enemy. It immediately uses its reaction to make a single melee weapon attack against itself and is then incapacitated with its speed reduced to 0. |
|  86-90  | A seething rage overcomes the creature, and it must use its turn to move up to the nearest creature and attack it, using Multiattack or Extra Attack if it has it. All attacks have advantage against the raging creature. |
|  91-95  | The creature is incapable of coherent thought or control of its body. It is stunned for the duration. |
|  96-98  | The creature retreats into its mind and becomes paralyzed for the duration. The effect ends if the creature takes any damage.|
|  99-00  | Roll on this table twice and the creature suffers both effects. Re-roll 99 and 100 for these rolls. |

### Enlightened
At 3rd level, your mesmer training and continuing research surrounding the intricacies of magic and spellcasting has granted you the knowledge to identify spells while they are being cast. Your studies grant you proficiency in the Arcana skill and allow you to use Arcana as a Wisdom-based skill. Making a Wisdom (Arcana) check related to identifying spells and magical effects no longer requires a reaction or action, and you add double your proficiency bonus to the check, instead of your normal proficiency bonus.

### Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

### Chaotic Disruption
At 5th level, you can take one additional Reaction per round. Once you use both Reactions you cannot take another until the beginning of your next turn. A single effect can only trigger one Reaction.

Upon reaching 17th level you can take up to three Reactions per round of combat.

### Expansive Mind
At 7th level, you've learned to extend your senses to detect the cognitive activity of nearby creatures and react quickly. You can give yourself a bonus to your initiative rolls equal to your Wisdom modifier and you gain a +5 bonus to your passive Wisdom (Perception).

### Overwhelming Insanity
At 11th level, your *corrupt psyche* feature leaves your victim's mind in a fragile state. When you drive a creature insane with this feature, it has vulnerability to the next psychic damage it takes while insane.

Additionally, whenever you roll on the Insanity Table, roll 2 dice and use the highest result.

\columnbreak

### Energy Surge 
At 14th level, you learn to amplify a spell's energy, maximizing its effect. As a reaction, when you see or hear a friendly creature within 30 feet of you cast a spell of 1st through 5th-level that deals damage or restores hit points, you can amplify that spell's power. Treat the rolled dice as though each die rolled is its respective maximum value. You must use this ability before the dice are rolled.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

### Arcane Thievery
At 18th level, you learn to steal the secrets of more advanced spellcasting from the knowledge of other creatures. As an action, you can probe the mind of one creature within 120 feet of you and force them to make a saving throw with its spellcasting ability modifier. The DC equals your spell save DC. A creature can willingly fail this saving throw. On a failed save, if the creature is a spellcaster, you can learn one spell from whichever class spell list most closely resembles the magic the creature uses (up to DM discretion). The learned spell must be a level for which the target has spell slots to cast.

For example, if you probed the mind of a hermit in the woods who focused on healing others, your DM might rule you gain access to the Cleric or Druid spell list. A cursed mage might grant you access to the Warlock spell list.

For the next 12 hours, you know the spell, always have it prepared, and can cast it by expending the required energy points shown in the Energy Point Cost table. You must provide any material components required to cast the spell. The creature can't cast that spell until the 12 hours have passed.

You can only steal the knowledge of one spell at a time and any previously stolen spell is lost upon using this feature. You may use this feature once and regain its use after you finish a long rest.

### Maddening Disruption
At 20th level, when you cast a mesmer spell or use a mesmer feature that causes a creature's attack to miss or spell to fail, that creature gains 2 Insanity points.

Additionally, the duration of the Insanity from your *corrupt psyche* feature is extended to 1 minute, instead of 1 round. Starting at the end a creature's next turn, it can repeat the Wisdom saving throw. On a successful save, the Insanity ends.

\pagebreak

## Mesmer Facets
After their initial training, every mesmer chooses an area to focus their studies. These areas revolve around the different methods used to exploit and overwhelm a target's mind, as well as augment the mental capabilities of their allies.

### Facet of Domination
Mesmers of this principle specialize in outright mental assaults. Their tactics often involve brute forcing their way through a target's mental defenses to crush their resolve. They focus on predicting their opponents next move and casting powerful spells that  yield devastating consequences if the target plays into the mesmer's hand.

##### Domination Facet Spells
| Mesmer Level  | Spells |
|:---:|:-----------:|
|  1st  | Hideous Laughter, Dissonant Whispers |
|  5th  | Hold Person, Tasha's Mind Whip |
|  9th  | Counterspell, Hypnotic Pattern |
|  13th  | Confusion, Dominate Beast |
|  17th  | Hold Monster, Synaptic Static |

#### Mental Anguish
At 1st level, you specialize in overwhelming a target's mind with a barrage of mental assaults. When you cast a mesmer spell, you can cast a mesmer cantrip with a casting time of 1 action as a bonus action before the end of your turn.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier. You regain all uses of this feature when you finish a long rest.

\columnbreak

#### Mind Wrack
At 6th level, your *corrupt psyche* feature causes searing pain in a target's mind. When a creature fails its saving throw against this feature, it also takes 2d12 psychic damage. This damage increases by 1d12 when you reach 11th level (3d12) and 17th level (4d12).

#### Psychological Warfare
Also at 6th level, you can add your Wisdom modifier to the damage rolls of your mesmer cantrips.

#### Lingering Insanity
At 10th level, even those who recover from your insanity suffer weariness from its lingering effects. When a creature recovers from insanity, it has disadvantage on attack rolls, Strength saving throws, and Dexterity saving throws. This effect lasts until the end of the creature's next turn after recovering from insanity.

#### Air of Insanity

At 15th level, you learn to spread a deadly psychological virus that drives creatures insane. As an action, target a creature within 120 feet and force them to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 5d8 psychic damage and contracts a psychological virus which drives it insane for 1 minute. Roll on the Insanity table below and add your mesmer level to the result (maximum 100) to determine the effect.

The virus transmits brainwaves to spread to nearby suitable hosts. Any creature that comes within 15 feet of an infected creature must also succeed on a Wisdom saving throw, or take 5d8 psychic damage and go insane. Roll on the Insanity table for each new person that becomes infected.

If a creature takes damage while insane, it can make another Wisdom saving throw, ending its insanity with a success. However, a creature is still contagious for the remainder of the of the virus.

After 1 minute passes, a creature recovers from the virus and is no longer insane or contagious. On a successful save or after a creature recovers, it is immune to the virus for 24 hours.

You can protect a number of creatures equal to your Wisdom modifier from the effects of the virus. This protection requires your concentration, as if on a spell. If you lose concentration, any unprotected creature within range of an infected target must immediately make a Wisdom saving throw, contracting the virus on a failure. You can use your action to reestablish protection of a creature, but are unable to cure the virus once it's contracted.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

### Facet of Illusion
Mesmers of this facet focus on deceiving their targets with powerful illusions. Through the use of these illusions, mesmers subvert their enemy's abilities to function until they become insane. They specialize in creating powerful phantasms to strike fear into their enemies. Their use of illusion magic often finds mesmers of this facet gainful employment in jobs where stealth and subtlety are high priorities.

##### Illusion Facet Spells
| Mesmer Level  | Spells |
|:---:|:-----------:|
|  1st  | Disguise Self, Silent Image |
|  5th  | Phantasmal Force, Mirror Image  |
|  9th  | Major Image, Phantom Steed |
|  13th  | Hallucinatory Terrain, Phantasmal Killer |
|  17th  | Creation, Seeming |

#### Imagined Burden
At 1st level, when a creature within 60 feet that you can see moves or takes an action, you can use a reaction to hinder the creature's effort with the feeling of an overbearing burden. Target creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or have its speed reduced to 0, have disadvantage Dexterity saving throws, and be unable to take reactions for a number of rounds equal to half of your Wisdom modifier (rounded up).

A creature may repeat the Wisdom saving throw at the end of its turn, ending the effect on itself on a success.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier. You regain all uses of this feature when you finish a long rest.

\columnbreak

#### Persistent Illusions
At 10th level, when you cast an illusion spell with a duration of 1 round, you can use your bonus action at the start of your next turn to force your target to repeat the saving throw. On a failure, your illusion spell persists for 1 additional round.

A spell can only have its duration extended once through this feature before requiring to be recast.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier. You regain all uses of this feature after a long rest.

#### Shattered Reality
At 15th level, you illusions become so convincing that targeted creatures are unable discern reality from fantasy. Whenever an illusion spell that you cast ends on a creature, it must succeed on an Wisdom saving throw or take 4d8 psychic damage and go insane until the end of its next turn. Roll on the Insanity table below and add your mesmer level to the result (maximum 100) to determine the effect.

### Facet of Inspiration
Mesmers of this facet specialize in aiding their allies by augmenting their abilities. They manipulate the energy of an enemy to hinder their capability and grant it to allies.

#### Ether Feast
At 6th level, your *corrupt psyche* feature drains a target's energy, temporarily weakening it, and grants it a nearby ally. When a creature fails its saving throw against this feature, select one friendly creature within 30 feet of you and choose one of the following effects:

\columnbreak

## Change Log: v3.2

#### Reworked the Lvl 2 Feature
Added the mechanic of **Corrupt Psyche** and having the subclasses alter its effects.

#### Reworkded the Lvl 3 Feature
**OLD -** Bonus action, Intelligence save, 1d6.
___
**NEW -** Action, Wisdom save, 1d6.
___
**REASON -** Power adjustment.

#### Added Lvl 5 Feature
**REASON -** Received feedback that all half casters have a 5th level feature that greatly increases damage output (ie. Extra Attack). So the extra Reaction feature I added used to be the old core mechanic, but was removed. The current iteration uses the wording from Laserllama's Savant class.

#### Replaced Lvl 7 Feature
**OLD -** Your awareness alerts you to the hostile intent of nearby creatures, allowing you to quickly react to incoming threats. You have advantage on Dexterity saving throws against Effects imposed on you by another creature. You do no gain this benefit against traps, environmental hazards, or while you are Incapacitated.
___
**NEW -** At 7th level, your continuing research surrounding the intricacies of magic and spellcasting has granted you the knowledge to identify spells while they are being cast. Your studies allow you to use Arcana as a Wisdom-based skill. When you make a Wisdom (Arcana) check related to identifying spells and magical effects, you are considered proficient in the Arcana skill and add double your proficiency bonus to the check, instead of your normal proficiency bonus.

Additionally, this learning has awakened your mind to allow you to detect nearby threats and react quickly. You gain a +5 bonus to your passive Wisdom (Perception) and can't be surprised by creatures within 60 feet of you. 
___
**REASON -** I wanted to tie back in a Mesmer's thirst for knowledge surrounding spellcraft. Since they specialize in disrupting spells, they spend a lot of time researching spells and how to distinguish them from one another. Since Mesmer's learn counterspell and other 3rd level reactionary spells at 9th level, it made sense that around 7th level, they are acquiring the knowledge needed to perform these spells at 9th level.

#### Level 10 is now Subclass feature, Level 11 now the class feature
**REASON -** Felt that since level 11 is the next tier of play, it made more sense to have the biggest feature that augments the Mesmer's core mechanic of insanity here, instead of at level 10.

\columnbreak

#### Replaced Lvl 14 Feature
**OLD -** At 14th level, you learn to subtlety influence the cognitive abilities of nearby creatures. When a creature within 60 feet of you makes a Wisdom, Intelligence, or Charisma ability check or saving throw, you can use your reaction give them advantage or disadvantage on the roll.
___
**NEW -** At 14th level, you learn to amplify a spell's energy, causing it to yield more devastating effects. As a reaction, when you see or hear a friendly creature within 30 feet of you cast a spell of 1st through 5th-level that deals damage, you can amplify that spell's power. Treat the damage dice as though each die rolled is its respective maximum value.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
___
**REASON -** This was more of a placeholder feature because I couldn't think of anything else to fit here. The new feature ties into the Mesmer's theme of mental manipulation, or in this case, mentally augmenting an ally's spell.

#### Reworked Lvl 6 Domination Feature
**OLD -** At 6th level, you can add your Wisdom modifier to the damage rolls of your mesmer cantrips and spells.

Additionally, when a creature takes psychic damage, you can use your reaction to spend up to 2 energy points to increase that damage by 1d12 for each energy point. At 11th level, the damage increases to 2d12 per energy point, and at 17th level, 3d12 per energy point.
___
**NEW -** At 6th level, your *corrupt psyche* feature causes searing pain in a target's mind. When a creature fails its saving throw against this feature, it also takes 2d12 psychic damage. This damage increases by 1d12 when you reach 11th level (3d12) and 17th level (4d12).

At 20th level, this damage also applies to uses of your *maddening disruption* feature.
___
**REASON -** I wanted each of the subclasses to have a unique feel to the core mechanic, *corrupt psyche*. Since domination specializes in the direct approach, making *corrupt psyche* deal damage allowed me to merge the old level 6 feature into a more predictable and balanced avenue.

#### Replaced Lvl 1 Illusion Feature
**OLD -** The Channel Divinty of Trickery Cleric basically.
___
**NEW -** When a creature within 60 feet that you can see moves or takes an action, you can use a reaction to hinder the creature's effort with the feeling of an overbearing burden. Target creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or have its speed reduced to 0 and be unable to take reactions for a number of rounds equal to half of your Charisma modifier (rounded up).

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier. You regain all uses of this feature when you finish a short or long rest. 
___
**REASON -** I never felt satisfied that I essentially modified the Trickery domain cleric Channel Divinity. I wanted something that felt more unique, but stuck to the theming of using illusions to hinder your enemies.

\pagebreakNum

### Reworked Lvl 6 Illusion Feature
**OLD -** At 6th level, you become a manifestation of your enemies' greatest fears. When you cause a target's attack to miss or spell to fail, you can use your reaction to force them to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target is frightened of you until the end of its next turn.

Additionally, a creature you cause to be frightened takes 2d8 psychic damage at the start of its turn.
___
**NEW -** At 6th level, your *corrupt psyche* feature causes disorienting hallucinations. When a creature fails its saving throw against this feature, it also has disadvantage on Wisdom, Intelligence, and Charisma ability checks and saving throws while insane.

At 20th level, this effect also applies to uses of your *maddening disruption* feature.

Also at 6th level, your illusions represent the manifestation of your target's greatest fear. When you force a creature to make a saving throw against an illusion spell you cast, it gains 1 Insanity point if it fails the saving throw by 4 or more, instead of 5.
___
**REASON -** Since this subclass focuses on the use of illusions and hallucinations to distract/hinder, it felt appropriate for the *corrupt psyche* to inhibit a creature's ability to resist mental effects while insane.

### Reworked Lvl 6 Inspiration Feature
**OLD -** At 6th level, when you cause a creature's attack to miss or spell to fail, you can use your reaction to siphon energy from the creature and grant it to another friendly creature within 30 feet of you. You can use this feature in three ways:

- Target creature's next attack deals 1d4 less damage. Your ally's next attack deals an additional 1d4 force damage.
- Target creature loses 10 movement speed on their next turn. Your ally gains 10 movement speed on their next turn.
- Target creature takes 1d4 necrotic damage. Your ally regains hit points equal to 1d4 + your Wisdom modifier.

At 11th level, the damage and healing dice increase to a d8 and the movement speed increases to 15 feet. At 15th level, the dice increase to a d12 and the movement speed increases to 20 feet.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier. You regain all uses of this feature after a long rest.

Additionally, when you choose a creature to regain hit points due to the effect a mesmer spell, you can add your Wisdom modifier to the rolled value.
___
**NEW -** At 6th level, your *corrupt psyche* feature drains a target's energy, temporarily weakening it, and grants it a nearby ally. When a creature fails its saving throw against this feature, select one friendly creature within 30 feet of you. Choose one of the following effects:

- Target creature's next attack deals 1d6 less damage. Your ally's next attack before the end of their next turn deals an additional 1d6 force damage.
- Target creature loses 10 movement speed on their next turn. Your ally gains 10 movement speed on their next turn.
- Target creature takes 1d6 necrotic damage. Your ally regains hit points equal to 1d6 + your Wisdom modifier.

At 11th level, the damage and healing dice increase to a d10 and the movement speed increases to 15 feet. At 15th level, the dice increase to a d12 and the movement speed increases to 20 feet.

Additionally, when you choose a creature to regain hit points due to the effect a mesmer spell, you can add your Wisdom modifier to the rolled value.
___
**REASON -** Just the most sensible way to combine the 2 features by tying it to *corrupt psyche*, rather than interrupts.

### Reworked Lvl 11 Inspiration Feature
**OLD -** At 11th level, you learn to shield the minds of others from psychic attacks. As a reaction, when a creature within 60 feet of you takes psychic damage, you can grant them resistance to psychic damage, including against the triggering attack, until the end of their next turn.

Additionally, you can use your bonus action to end an effect on yourself or a creature within 60 feet of you that is causing you to be charmed or frightened.
___
**NEW -** At 11th level, you learn to shield the minds of others from mental impairment. Whenever you or a friendly creature within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom, Intelligence, or Charisma saving throw, the creature gains a bonus to the roll equal to your Wisdom modifier (with a minimum bonus of +1). You must be conscious to grant this bonus.

Additionally, you can use your bonus action to end an effect on yourself or a creature within 30 feet of you that is causing you or it to be charmed or frightened.
___
**REASON -** The original feature was highly situation and would go unused most the campaign. I wanted to change it to something that still focuses on resisting mental effects.
