Aeronautic Contraption

Your reckless pursuit of flight has led to your greatest creation: a contraption that allows limited flight. This invention can take many forms, such as a wind magic infused "jetpack", thunder powered thrusters, or even semi-autonomous wings. As an action, you can don your creation, or attach them to a piece of armor you are wearing, provided you have smith’s or tinker's tools in hand.

You gain the following benefits while the Aeronautic Contraption is equipped:

• You gain a flying speed of 40 feet. If you don’t land at the end of this flight, you fall as if under the effects of the feather fall spell, unless you have another means of staying aloft.
• Your Aeronautic Contraption draws in excess power generated by your spells. When you cast a spell, your contraption gains the power to hold you aloft for a number of rounds equal to two times the spell's level.

Innovative Payload

At 5th level, you have developed a net launching apparatus perfect for airborne utility and combat to attach to your Aeronautic Contraption.

As a bonus action you can make a ranged spell attack, launching an Arcane Net at the target. An arcane net has a range of 15 feet, and this attack automatically hits a willing target. A Large or smaller creature hit by an arcane net is Restrained or Tethered (your choice) until it is freed. A net has no effect on creatures that are formless, or creatures that are Huge or larger. A creature can use its action to make a Strength check against your spell save DC, freeing itself or another creature within its reach on a success.

While a creature is Tethered they are considered grappled by your Aeronautic Contraption, your speed is halved, and you can carry the tethered creature with you. You can only have one creature grappled in this manner. If you choose to release the tether or attempt to tether a new creature, the grappled condition immediately ends on the creature.

You can maintain a number of nets equal to your Intelligence modifier. After retrieving a used net, you can use an action to reload it into your Aeronautic Contraption. At the end of a long rest, you can replace any lost arcane nets if you have your tinker’s tools with you.

Slipstream

Starting at 9th level, your ability to manuever in the air is peerless. Your movement doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunity while using your Aeronautic Contraption.

In addition, the spells you cast further empower your contraption. When you cast a spell, your contraption gains the power to hold you aloft for a number of rounds equal to three times the spell's level and your flying speed is doubled for the duration.

Conductive Payload

At 15th level, your arcane nets can easily conduct the magical energy of your spells and can now affect huge or smaller creatures.

When you cast a spell of 1st level or higher, a creature tethered by your arcane net takes lightning damage or gains temporary hit points (your choice) equal to the spell's level + your Intelligence modifier.

In addition, the spells you cast further empower your contraption. When you cast a spell, your contraption gains the power to hold you aloft for a number of rounds equal to four times the spell's level, and your flying speed is tripled for the duration.

Fury of the Elements

In addition, you can choose to harm yourself to more recklessly unleash the elements. When you rage, you can spend one hit dice, and take necrotic damage equal to the number rolled. If you do so, for the duration of your rage you can cast your cantrip as a bonus action on each of your turns after this one.

Chaotic Resolve

At 6th level, you have grown accustomed to the elements flowing through you. You have resistance to the damage type of your cantrip.

Planestrider's Wake

At 10th level, the primal planes call to you even while resting. You can draw both your own spirit and that of your companions into the space between planes to travel quickly. Once per long rest you can cast the Spiritual Journey spell without using a spell slot or material components.

Unbridled Power

Starting at 14th level, your rage nearly consumes your physical form. Once per turn you can add your Rage damage bonus to the damage dealt by your cantrip.

In addition, you can choose to end your rage early by releasing all of your stored elemental energy in a destructive burst. When you take damage while under the effects of Fury of the Elements you can use your reaction to cast your cantrip once for every 10 points of damage dealt by the triggering effect (minimum of twice) and your rage immediately ends.

Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.

Visage of the White Wyrm

Starting at 14th level, you can truly harness the chilling forces at the heart of your power. When you use your wild shape feature, you can spend a number of charges up to your maximum to transform into a young white dragon. Roll 1d10 for every charge spent and add them together. This form has a number of hit points equal to the amount rolled.

After using the breath attack, you must roll a 5 or a 6 on a d6 at the beginning of your turn while in this form to use it again. The breath attack recharges automatically after completing a short or long rest.

Directions don’t appear to follow standard convention in these listless realms. But I think I have a rudementary rule for orienting yourself in the planes.

Watch for the subtle changes in landscape. For example, if the fire is becoming more intense and bright, you are headed to the Plane of Positive Energy. If it is dulling to embers, the plane of Negative Energy will soon be on the horizon. Not that either is any safer mind you.

If you are trying to escape, look for the lava flows. I’ve found numerous routes back to the material plane where the plane of earth collides with the plane of fire.

That said, if navigating the seas of magma prove impossible for you, I did notice an oddly human looking citadel sillhouetted by the plane of ash which I should investigate further. Yet for the time being I’ll stick with the predictable dangers of lava.

Dictations to a Homunculus

Fighter Martial Archtype:
Abyss Watcher

At the lowest depths of the inner planes is a horizon seen by only a handful of mortals. This horizon doesn't give way to the sun, or stars, or clouds, or light however. No, witnessing this skyline is to see the end of all things. It is here at the edge of reality, that the prime elemental planes endlessly spill into the plane of negative energy. Ever feeding, yet never satisfied, the void plane twists the elements along this border into their most entropic states. Earth to dust, water to salt, air to vacuum, and fire to ash.

It is along these planes that the Whispered One built his citadels to guard his machinations inside the plane of void. Although long dead, his lingering magics still hold these fortresses in place as the energy of the planes dissipate into oblivion past them.

Here in these bleak expanses, members of the Hollow Guard are forged, blessed (or perhaps cursed) by the same magics that grant their fortresses the unnatural strength to stand against the weight of the collapsing elements. Long freed from their service to the dark lord, this group now protects hapless travelers and stands as a bulwark against the horrors that are borne of the void. Liches, wraiths, and a myriad of other monstrosities are among the denizens that try to crawl out of the abyss.

Their ranks are filled by outcasts and wayward souls; manning outposts at the furthest fringes of civilization. Small numbers of this order can also be met far from these bleak regions. The Hollow Guard can be found standing watch anywhere the void has overstepped its bounds into another plane.

Edge Keeper's Grasp

Your grip has been touched by the same magics that allow your order's citadels to defy the immense gravity of the void.

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you ignore the Two-Handed property of weapons.

Dying Light

Starting at 3rd level, your experience at the precipice of the abyss has steeled you against trauma. You have advantage on death saving throws, and damage taken while you have 0 hit points does not cause an automatic failure of a death saving throw, but instead forces you to roll another death saving throw.

In addition, you can use an action to touch and stabilize an unconscious creature.

Negation

At 7th level, you can dampen the energy of harmful effects by diverting them away from yourself into the maw of the Hungering Plane. All damage you take except psychic is reduced by an amount equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1).

Dissipate

At 10th level, your proximity to the disintegration of the elements has altered your physical form.

As a bonus action, you transform into a cloud of ash until the start of your next turn. The effect ends early if you drop to 0 hit points. You can also choose to end the effect early.

While in this form, your only method of movement is a flying speed of 60 feet. You can enter and occupy the space of another creature. You have resistance to nonmagical damage, and advantage on Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution saving throws. You can pass through small holes, narrow openings, and even mere cracks, though you treat liquids as though they were solid surfaces. You can’t fall and remain hovering in the air even when stunned or otherwise incapacitated.

While in this form, you can’t talk or manipulate objects, and any objects you were carrying or holding can’t be dropped, used, or otherwise interacted with. You also can’t attack or cast spells.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.

Resolute Gaze

Starting at 15th level, nothing escapes your vigil. You cannot be surprised, and you gain proficiency in the Perception skill. If you are already proficient in it, you instead gain double proficiency.

In addition, if you fail a saving throw against a Necromancy spell or a harmful Effect originating from an Undead creature, you can use your Reaction to expend 1 hit dice and turn the failed save into a successful one.

Oblivion's Edge

At 18th level, your strikes do more than physical harm: they tear at the essence of the target's physical form.

After a successful attack, if the target creature has a number of hit points remaining that are less than or equal to two times your fighter level, it is immediately reduced to 0 hit points.

Aura of the Inner Planes

Starting at 7th level, the paladin can alter the flow of the elements in the area around them.

When a spell or effect that would cause bludgeoning, cold, fire, lightning, necrotic, piercing, radiant, slashing, or thunder damage targets a creature within 10 feet of you or passes within 10 feet of you, you can use your reaction to substitute that damage type with one other type from the list.

As part of this reaction, you can also use your Grounding Presence channel divinity feature to shield any number of creatures you can see within 10 feet against the damage dealt by the triggering effect.

At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.

Planewalker's Resolve

At 15th level, you have advantage on saving throws against spells and effects that would cause bludgeoning, cold, fire, lightning, necrotic, piercing, radiant, slashing, or thunder damage.

Genesis

At 20th level, you gain the ability to embody the forces that gave rise to existance itself. As an action, you can magically become an avatar of the primal planes, gaining the following benefits for 1 minute:

• You choose to be under the effects of either the Investiture of Flame, Ice, Life, Shadow, Stone, or Wind spells.
• You can use the active ability of the Investiture effect as a bonus action.
• As a bonus action, you can change which element you are imbued with to another of your choice.

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

Ranger Archtype: Far Strider

While rangers of every background have ample experience outside of civilization, Far Striders are those who have walked the literal edges of the Material Plane. On these outer reaches of the world the elemental planes frequently bleed into the material world, bringing with them elemental incursion and instability. In order to survive in such a hostile environment a ranger must use every tool at their disposal, including the elements themselves. Sometimes referred to as Plane Touched, these individuals are left with an indelible tie to the elemental planes.

Far Strider Magic

Starting at 3rd level, you learn an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Far Strider Spells table. The spell counts as a ranger spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of ranger spells you know.

Ranger Level	Spells
3rd	Fury of Earth
5th	Elemental Beam
9th	Stone Stride
13th	Sundering Touch
17th	Witherlight

Elemental Sprite

At 3rd level, you gain the ability to summon a small elemental sprite of a type that you choose: Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Positive Energy or Negative Energy.

The sprite is tiny in size and you choose its appearance and elemental type when you summon it. A Far Strider's sprite often coalesces in the form of an animal, mephit, or wisp. Your sprite stays at your side and grants you various benefits related to its element type.

You can summon a sprite as an action, and can change it's elemental type or dismiss it as a bonus action. It lasts for 1 hour, or until you are knocked unconscious.

Plane Touched Strikes

At 3rd level, the elemental forces at your side strike out in tandem with you. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, your sprite empowers the attack and the creature takes an extra 1d4 damage.

The type of damage depends on the type of sprite you have summoned: Earth (bludgeoning, slashing, or piercing), Water (cold), Air (lightning or thunder), Fire (fire), Positive Energy (radiant), or Negative Energy (necrotic).

You can deal this extra damage only once per turn.

Elemental Cunning

Beginning at 3rd level, you can use the attributes of each elemental plane to your advantage. While your sprite is summoned, you gain one of the following benefits depending on its type:

Element	Feature
Air	You have a flying speed of 15 feet. This benefit works only in short bursts; you fall if you end your turn in the air and nothing else is holding you aloft.
Earth	You have advantage on Athletics checks and Saving throws.
Fire	Your sprite casts bright light out to 15 feet and you have advantage on Perception checks that rely on sight.
Negative	You have advantage on Stealth checks.
Positive	You can use an action to spend 1 hit dice.
Water	Your swim speed is doubled and you can breath underwater.

Warding Sprites

At 7th level, your sprite grants you added resilience against the elements by partially absorbing harmful effects. You gain resistance to certain damage types while your sprite is active. Resistance types for each plane are Earth (bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing), Water (fire), Air (lightning or thunder), Fire (cold), Positive Energy (necrotic), or Negative Energy (radiant).

Pierce the Veil

At 11th level, while you can use a bonus action to momentarily empower your summoned Elemental Sprite. The next time you deal damage with a Plane Touched Strike the damage is increased by 2d6 and the target creature also explodes with a burst of elemental energy.

Each creature within 15 feet must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 2d6 damage, or half as much on a success. The damage type depends on the type of sprite you have summoned.

Boundless Elements

Beginning at 15th level, your practice subduing the untamed elements has given way to unparalleled mastery.

As part of the action used to summon a sprite, you can instead assign it to aid an ally within 60 feet of you. The target creature instead gains the benefits and can use the features associated with the sprite for the duration, or until they move more than 60 feet away from you at which point the sprite returns to your side.

You can also change the creature your sprite is assisting to another creature of your choice within 60 feet as a bonus action.

Elemental Swarm

When you summon a sprite, you can choose to summon an additional number of sprites equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1). You gain the benefits of each additional sprite's Plane Touched Strikes, Elemental Cunning, Warding Sprites, and Pierce the Veil features for the duration.

Once you’ve used this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest or until you expend a spell slot of 4th level or higher to use it again.

Lazorra, you must meet this fellow: his relationship with that mischievous fox I told you about is reminiscent of your love for Mapache.

But first I must hunt down the lead he gave me. Apparently there is a woman in the plane of water who's power swells with the tides. He said she frequently travels to other planes herself, but not by any conventional means!

Journal of the Horizon Walker

Wizard Arcane Tradition: Portalist

There are a number of memorable "firsts" over the course of a wizard's education that are shared almost universally between their various specialties. The first time they light a candle with a snap of their fingers, harmlessly leap from a roof using slow fall, or the exhilarating heat from a novice fireball.

One other such memory must be the first time they move between two points unfettered by physical laws. Some wizards are so affected by the sensation that they never stop chasing that feeling.

Portalists are wizards that seek to push the magical manipulation of ones location to new extremes. Whether moving across the room or across the universe, a portalist's true calling is not in the destination, but the journey.

Portalist's Acumen

Starting at 2nd level, your understanding of arcane travel circumvents the need for arbitrary items to focus the effects of the spell. When you cast a teleportation spell you can ignore the material components normally required.

Transitive Magics

At 2nd level, while casting a spell you have learned to follow the energy you direct along the weave. When you cast a 1st level spell as an action, you can use your bonus action to teleport up to 10 feet to a point you can see. The range increases by 10 feet for every spell slot level above 1st.

Strategic Shift

Starting at 6th level, your familiarity with the space between planes gives you further insight into their traversal. You can use your transitive magic feature on any willing creature you can see within 60 feet.

Flicker

Beginning at 10th level, you can use your reaction to quickly reposition a willing creature that is targeted by an attack or forced to make a saving throw.

With a brief flicker of their physical form, a target you can see within 60 feet is teleported to an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of their original location. That space must be on the ground or on a floor.

If the movement would cause an attack or spell targeted at the creature to fail, the attacker must choose a new target or lose the attack or spell.

Once you’ve used this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest or until you expend a spell slot of 2nd level or higher to use it again.

Hostile Displacement

At 14th level, your transitive magics are no longer bounded by a target's will. An unwilling creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw to resist this effect.

Primalist

Digging his feet into the ground as the air sparks around him, a smile lights across a human wanderer's face as his eyes glow momentarily with primordial energy. Lightning cracks from his hands arcing across the sandy dunes towards his would be assailants.

A timid halfling finishes carving an intricate talisman of oak, blowing off the flecks of wood shavings before standing up to leave with her friends for the day. She stops momentarily to close her eyes, quickly infusing it with restorative magic before handing it to her goliath friend who is busy picking up his shield.

A blow bound for his head is halted as a piece of stone erupts from the earth intercepting the blow meant for the stocky dwarf. He looks towards his attacker and sweat glistens from his brow as flecks of lava begin to drip from his hand axes.

The primalist is a bridge to the other side; their existence inexplicably tied to the ebb and flow of the primal energies of the elemental planes and the ethereal realms between them. Some are inevitably wanderers as the destructive nature of their abilities are often difficult to control. However, other cultures embrace them as healers, religious leaders, or mighty warriors.

Harnessing the Elements

Power comes from a wide variety of sources in D&D. Wizards from study, warlocks from their patrons, and druids from nature itself. While many other casters can utilize or manipulate certain base elements in their spellcasting, a primalist’s very being is closely linked to their planar source. Each primalist is a conduit to one of the primal planes: Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Positive Energy and Negative Energy. The magics they invoke are extensions of this connection. Primalists must closely regulate their tie to this raw unfettered power as their physical body can only withstand so much.

While all primalists are more than capable with the use of each of the elements, the nuance and attention needed to master any one is staggering. Fire is ephemeral, destructive, and consuming. Water is ambiguous, its traits and nature contradict even itself. Earth, conversely, is stable, concrete, and solid making manipulating this rigidity a task to itself. Air is aloof and all encompassing; its true nature remains unseen until it culminates into a rustling in the leaves, or the crack of thunder and lightning. Life is chaotic, overwhelming, and unknowable. Void on the other hand is
cold, empty, and all devouring. The
only trait each shares is
boundless power.

Flash of Power

When you reach 6th level, you have learned to push your mortal frame to the brink in order to channel and store the power of the elemental planes.

Whenever you hit with a primalist cantrip, you can spend a number of hit dice up to your proficiency modifier. You take 1d8 necrotic damage for each hit dice spent, that can't be reduced in any way, and your hit point maximum is reduced by the amount rolled until you finish a long rest. Your attack deals an additional 1d8 damage for each hit dice expended in this manner. Additionally, you gain one charge of Elemental Overload.

The number of hit dice expended must be chosen and rolled together, and if the damage from this feature brings you to 0 hit points you die. If this feature is used outside of combat you take an additional 1d8 necrotic damage for each hit dice expended.

Earthwarder

The Earthwarder is grounded, resolute, unshakeable. Often averse to change, primalists who take up this calling reflect the stalwart nature of earth and stone. While not as flashy as the other callings, the durability that rock and stone provide a primalist will not falter even under the greatest strain.

Bonus Proficiencies

When you choose this calling at 2nd level, you gain proficiency with medium armor and shields.

Primalist Level	Earthwarder Spells
2nd	Earth Shock, Shield
3rd	Earthen Grasp
5th	Life Transference
7th	Stoneskin
9th	Transmute Rock

Earthwarder Primal Boon

You gain the Mold Earth cantrip, which can be cast as a bonus action. In addition, you ignore the need for an elemental source when casting spells and effects associated with the elemental plane of earth.

Earthwarder Cantrips

Explosive Bulwark

Evocation Cantrip

---

• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Touch, 10 foot line
• Components: V, S
• Duration: 1 minute*.

---

You draw together a quaking sheet of stone at a point you touch that is 6 inches thick, 5 feet wide, and provides half cover. The bulwark has an AC of 10, 1d10 hit points, and climbing over the bulwark takes 15 feet of movement.

As part of the action used to create the bulwark you can cause it to explode, destroying it, and any creature in a 10 foot line in front of the wall must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 1d10 bludgeoning damage. The bulwark will also explode if reduced to 0 hit points or you use a reaction to detonate it. Otherwise, the bulwark harmlessly crumbles to dust after 1 minute.

The bulwark's damage and hit points increase by 1d10 when you reach 5th level (2d10), 11th level (3d10), and 17th level (4d10). In addition, a creature that fails its saving throw is also knocked prone at 11th level.

Tectonic Wards

Abjuration Cantrip

---

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

---

You magically brace yourself with plates of earth and stone. Until the start of your next turn you are protected with 1d4 temporary hit points.

As a part of this action you can make a single melee attack, shove, or grapple check against a target that is in melee range.

This spell’s temporary health increases by 2d4 when you reach 5th level (3d4), 11th level (5d4), and 17th level (7d4).

Level	Elemental Calling Features
7th	All bludgeoning, slashing, and piercing damage you take from non-magical weapons is reduced by an amount equal to your Wisdom modifier.
9th	You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift. In addition, any critical hit against you becomes a normal hit.
13th	When you are subjected to an effect that would move you, knock you prone, or both, you can use your reaction to be neither moved nor knocked prone.
17th	You have advantage on Strength saving throws and ability checks, and once per long rest when you roll bludgeoning damage, you can choose to deal maximum damage, instead of rolling. This effect lasts until the start of your next turn.

Speaker of the Elements

Each of the primal planes has a unique sway over you. You feel warm on a cold day as faint flickers of flame dance across your body. Or in moments of surprise you seem to always be ready to snap into action as a static shiver runs up your spine. The Primordial Plane itself seeks release for its chaotic energy, and you are the voice that will bring it to bear.

Primal Rites

Beginning at 1st level a primalist can prepare rites to invoke powerful effects.

If a rite has prerequisites, you must meet them to prepare it. You can learn the rite at the same time that you meet its prerequisites. A level prerequisite refers to your level in this class.

You can perform each rite known once, and you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.

Unless otherwise stated in its description, a rite has a casting time of 1 action.

Primal Rites

Ghost Stride

• Prerequisite: 9th Level
• Cast Time: 1 minute
• Range: 1500 feet
• Duration: 8 hours

You spend one minute meditating over a talisman of ivory, and when you open your eyes you see your body seated in front of you. For as long as you meditate, you see and hear through this invisible spiritual double. Your sprite has a walk and climb speed of 60 feet and has darkvision out to 30 feet.

Your sprite can go anywhere as long as it stays within range of your body. Although the sprite lacks physical form, you can momentarily interact with objects as the elements give temporary substance to your invisible form. For instance as you attempt to open a door a passerby would notice a hand form from dust or fog before dissipating.

A creature that can see the sprite (such as a creature benefiting from see invisibility or truesight) sees a luminous, likeness of yourself.

At any point you can choose to stop meditating and end the effect. The effect also ends early if you take damage or if your sprite moves more than 1500 feet your body. After your senses return to your physical body you can’t move or take actions until after your next turn, as a wave of lethargy sweeps over you.

Goa Stone Talisman

• Prerequisite: 3rd Level
• Casting Time: 1 bonus action
• Range: Touch
• Duration: Instantaneous

Your constant use of the elements has manifested as a peculiar gem stone. After placing it in a talisman, you are able to use it to store a portion of your energy while resting. In an instant you can use the stone to infuse your self with a burst of planar energy. You generate double the amount of elemental overload charges on this turn, as if you were in combat.

Additionally, you can instead bolster the magical reserves of a creature. A creature of your choice within range regains a number of expended spell slots with a combined level equal to your proficiency bonus minus 1.

Guided Footfall Totem

• Prerequisite: 9th Level
• Range: 40 feet

Creatures of your choice that you can see within range are under the effect of the Freedom of Movement spell. The effect ends early if a creature ends it’s turn outside the radius of the totem.

Harbor Soul

• Prerequisite: 12th Level
• Casting Time: 1 reaction
• Range: 60 feet
• Duration: Instantaneous

As a reaction your spirit quickly leaps from your body into the Ethereal Plane when a creature that you can see within range dies. You intercept the spirit, and anchor it to the creature's physical body. After you perform the rite you are blinded and deafened until the start of your next turn and suffer one level of exhaustion. The creature revives with 1 + your Wisdom modifier hit points at the start of their next turn.

Healing Stream Totem

• Prerequisite: 3rd Level

Creatures of your choice that you can see within range heal for 1 hit point at the start of their turn.

Hexing Totem

• Prerequisite: 3rd Level

When you place this totem, a creature of your choice that you can see within range is cursed with a potent hex. A hexed creature takes an extra 1d4 necrotic damage whenever it is hit with an attack. If the target of the hex moves out of range or dies you can use a bonus action to move the effect to a new creature that you can see within range.

The damage die increases at 9th level (1d6), 12th level (1d8), and 15th level (1d10).

Homeward Soul

• Prerequisite: 12th Level
• Casting Time: 1 minute
• Range: Special
• Duration: 8 hours

You summon a friendly spirit only you can see to help you find the shortest, most direct physical route to a specific fixed location that you are familiar with on the same plane of existence. The spirit understands your spoken words, but communicates with you telepathically. If you name a destination on another plane of existence, a destination that moves (such as a mobile fortress), or a destination that isn't specific (such as "a green dragon's lair"), the rite fails.

For the duration, as long as you are on the same plane of existence as the destination, you are accompanied by a spirit that is famiiar with the location, and knows how far it is and in what direction it lies. While you are traveling there, whenever you are presented with a choice of paths along the way, you can ask the spirit to determine which path is the shortest and most direct route (but not necessarily the safest route) to the destination.

Sage Spell

• Prerequisite: 6th Level
• Casting Time: 1 bonus action
• Range: Self
• Duration: Instantaneous

You use projection to seek aid in a moment of ill-preparedness. A sage soul answers your call, and acts as the focus for casting a spell that is on your primalist spell list, but you do not have prepared. You still expend any spell slots or Elemental Overload necessary for powering the spell. After you perform the rite you are blinded and deafened until the start of your next turn.

Spells cast in this manner also ignore the need for an elemental focus.

Sentry Totem

• Prerequisite: 6th Level

This totem resides on the Ethereal Plane and lasts for 8 hours. While active you can use your action to see and hear the plane you are on as if you are standing in the totems space.

Solaire Totem

• Prerequisite: 6th Level

The totem emits the effects of the daylight spell out to a radius of 60 feet.

Squid Ink Totem

• Prerequisite: 6th Level

The totem emits the effects of the darkness spell.

Steps of the Wicked

• Range: 30 feet

Primalist Multiclassing

Battle Cants

Every troubadour's style is different; whether they perform through cunning lyrics, methodical chants, boisterous cries, or nuanced beats. Regardless of the form your inspiration takes, the results are notable to everyone around you.

Each Battle Cant has a variety of potential effects based on the manner and setting in which you perform it. A Crescendo during a cant gives its effects an even stronger flare, while using it to Serenade your party during a rest gives subtle benefits long after the melody ends.

Bladesung

You instill a flash of energy in your allies or cloud that of your enemies with this stormy cant.

---

Melody: Each creature of your choice within range can use their bonus action to move up to 15 feet, and this movement does not provoke opportunity attacks.

---

Crescendo: When you take the attack action or cast a spell, each creature you choose within range of your cant can use their reaction to make a single weapon attack or cast a cantrip at a single target they choose within 5 feet.

---

Serenade: If performed over the course of a long rest each creature cannot be put to sleep by magical means.

Naming your Cants

Take liberty in naming the cants you perform, both as a player or a DM.

Several of these cants were named after memorable events or PCs in campaigns I've played in. Change the names to better fit your setting, or as a player boon create a new cant as a reward for one of the players doing something amazing!

Nothing says your party did something extraordinary like having it inspire a new magical song in their world or others!

Balladeer

Music, acclaim, and a pension for danger are all calling cards of a balladeer who takes up adventuring. Their Battle Cants are the most elegant: a combination of inspiring flourishes and cutting disharmonies. Their studied panache stands out among the other vocations.

A Balladeer takes a more aloof approach to a fight. Preferring to stay on the edge of a skirmish, a balladeer is used to working a crowd and is able to invigorate or demoralize at a distance.

An invisible wall of unnaturally cold air flashes into existence at a point you choose within range blocking any spells cast into or out from the area. The wall appears in any orientation you choose, as a horizontal or vertical barrier or at an angle. It can be free floating or resting on a solid surface. You can shape a flat surface made up of ten 10-foot-by-10-foot panels. Each panel must be contiguous with another panel. In any form, the wall is 1 foot thick. It lasts for the duration.

A creature that comes into contact with the wall must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save they take 10d6 cold damage and are forced back into the space from which they originated.

A fire spell of 8th level or higher will destroy each section of the wall that it touches.
