Question and Answer

”If I cast a spell using a Rite as part of a feature, such as the 3rd level Shifting Flesh Remarkable Reactions feature, can that trigger the fortune I can give out with Good Omen?”

Yes, as Good Omen states “any spell cast using a Rite…”

"Why doesn't this class prepare more spells? Or maybe less spells?"

Half level + Intelligence prepared spells, the ability to cast unprepared spells, and subclass spells. Just try it out and see if it works, in practice it is a really fun method of choosing what is improtant, having options in a pinch, and feeding into the flavor of the choosen subclass!

"Rites, what's up with that?"

Bards get bardic inspiration, clerics get divine channeling, druids get wild shape, sorcerer’s get sorcery points, wizards get arcane recovery, Warlocks are different, we don’t talk about them here. Rites acts as a way to cast extra spells throughout the day, every full caster gets additional ways to cast or use abilities, Rites act as fuel for spells and major abilities for the seeker. In practice, the extra casts throughout the day are a good use of time not spent in combat.

"So I can cast unprepared spells using Rites?"

Yes, by spending an extra 10 minutes to cast the spell plus using an amount of Rites, as described in the table in the Rites section, you can cast any unprepared spell.

"What's with the spell list?"

The spells choosen for this spell list focus mainly on utility, either gathering information, enhancing the physical form, or transportation. This class is meant to fulfill the role of Expert, seekers are not meant to be stars on the battlefield. The seeker has only a few scattered spells that are solely intended to cause damage, so choose your spell list well.

"If I cast guidance on a creature, either myself or someone else, then I cast it again, does it drop on the first creature?"

Yes, you may only have guidance on one creature at a time.

"Is Sixth Sense activated with a reaction? Bonus action?"

Sixth Sense takes no action to activate, it can be used at any time.

"Does Destined Strike allow me to make two weapon attacks if I use booming blade or green-flamed blade?"

Yup! You can only make the second weapon attack after the cantrip, however.

"Does Destined Strike allow me to roll more than one extra damage dice when casting a cantrip that has multiple damage dice?"

No, If you are granted multiple damage rolls from a cantrip, like with green-flame blade or eldritch blast, you may apply the bonus roll to damage one time for whichever damage dice.

"Subclass spell lists are have different amount of spells, why?"

The subclasses with spells more than 10 total (2 per spell level) have spells added that are either very niche or more for flavor without adding a great deal of practicality, such as the 2nd level spell spider climb which was added to the Roaming Steps spell list.

"If I have an issue, critique, advice, or I find a wording error, should I contact you?"

Yes please! I want to hear where others think this class could improve! Either post directly on the reddit version page or through reddit chat.

"Why is this class so gish-y?"

Because I flippling love gishes but all of the homebrews seem to focus on the combat part, which I find kinda annoying. I wanted something that really shined outside of combat but could be relied on to feel unique when the action does happen.

This class has a lot of ritual spells, is this balanced for the Ritual Caster feat?

Nope, either taking that feat with this class or using this class as the target for the Ritual Caster feat is solidly not recommended.
