First, make Strength or Dexterity your highest ability score, depending on whether you want to focus on melee weapons or on archery (or finesse weapons). Your next highest score should be Constitution, or Charisma if you plan to adopt the Archon aura specialization. Second, choose the soldier background.

## Class Features
As an auramancer, you gain the following class features.

#### Hit Points
___
- **Hit Dice:** 1d10 per auramancer level 
- **Hit Points At First Level:** 10 + your Constitution modifier 
- **Hit Points at Higher Levels:** 1d10 (or 6) + your Constitution modifier per auramancer level

#### Proficiencies
___
- **Armor:** Light Armor, Medium armor, and Shields
- **Weapons:** Martial weapons, Simple weapons
- **Tools:** None

___
- **Saving Throws:** Strength, Wisdom
- **Skills:** Choose two from Acrobatics, Athletics, History, Insight, Intimidation, Investigation, Perception, and Survival

#### Equipment
You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background:
- *(a)* Scale armor or *(b)* Leather armor, longbow, and 20 arrows
- *(a)* a martial weapon and a shield or *(b)* two martial weapons
- *(a)* a light crossbow and 20 bolts or *(b)* two simple weapons
- *(a)* a dungeoneer's pack or *(b)* an explorer's pack

### Aura Arts
Starting at 1st level, your training has taught you how to harness auras. Your access to this power is represented by a number of aura points. Your auramancer level determines the number of points you have, as shown in the Aura Pool column of the Auramancer table.

You can spend these points to fuel various aura features. You start knowing two such features: Attraction and Aura Infusion. You learn more aura features as you gain levels in this class.

When you expend an aura point it is unavailable until you take a long rest. Taking a long rest regains all aura points.

Some of your aura features require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

<div style='margin-top:20px'></div>
 
 <font face='scalysans' size='2'>
 
 <center> 
 
 **Aura DC** </font> = <font face='scalysans' size='2'> 8 + your proficiency bonus + 
 
 </center>
 
 <div style='margin-top:-8px'></div>
 
 <center> your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice) </center>

**Cantrips.** You learn two cantrips of your choice from the sorcerer spell list. You learn an additional cantrip of your choice at 10th level.

**Spell Slots.** The Archon Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

For example, if you know the 1st-level spell *Burning Hands* and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast *Burning Hands* using either slot.

**Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher.** You know three 1st-level spells of your choice from the sorcerer spell list.

Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the sorcerer spells you know with another spell of your choice from the sorcerer spell list. The new spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

**Spellcasting Ability.** Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your sorcerer spells, since your magic relies on your ability to project your will into the world. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Archon spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
