Weaver

You have a desire to control the more esoteric elements of the world, and you have stumbled upon the rituals you must undergo to gain a sense of psionic nature. You're obsessed with uncovering the potential energy within the natural forces throughout the world. You are able to weave one kind of that energy. Although, the abnormalty of your weaving comes at a price that is often unforeseen until it is too late to turn back.
KEY ABILITY HIT POINTS
WISDOM 8 plus your Constitution Modifier
At 1st level, your class gives you an ability boost to Wisdom. You increase your maximum number of HP by this number at 1st level and every level thereafter.

DURING COMBAT ENCOUNTERS...

You use esoteric spells and weave nonmagical ethereal threads to alter the stakes in favor of you and your allies. You might be too volatile for melee combat, or your conduit might have you sacrifice what you need to strengthen your brawling potential. Whilst your magical capabilities are strong, the many threads you weave will determine how you turn the tide in battle lest you let everything unravel.

DURING SOCIAL ENCOUNTERS...

You can provide a perspective on what is necessary to sacrifice for the greater whole, and you may often provide insight on certain topics by drawing upon the knowledge related to the type of conduit you are. Craft your network of various contacts and allies to aid you and your traveling companions.

WHILE EXPLORING...

You continue to find patterns in your surroundings that align with the fundamental concept or force your serve as a conduit for. You remain focused on what matters most to you, but you may stumble with the lingering effects of your sacrificial binding.

IN DOWNTIME...

You experiment with the energies in which you can manipulate. Troubled by process of wielding these powers, your various hobbies or religious interests may serve to entertain, explore new ideas, and recenter yourself.

YOU MIGHT...

  • View your sartorial powers as a breakthough, a mistake, or both.
  • Have a passion for your connection to the conduit you've become to explore new opportunities within reach.
  • Take point when a utilitarian perspective may be necessary to cope with current events.

OTHERS PROBABLY...

  • Won't understand or realize what you sacrifice to gain access to the powers you have.
  • Assume you were born or suffered in an event that afflicted you with a physical condition and try to either aid or take advantage of you.
  • Admire how you overcome and cope with your conditions while putting forth an effort to help others. Your sacrifices lead to power and serve as a sign of your determination.

Class Features

You gain these abilities as a weaver. Abilities gained at higher levels list the level at which you gain them next to the features' names.

ANCESTRY AND BACKGROUND

In addition to what you get from your class at 1st level, you have the benefits of your selected ancestry and background, as described in Chapter 2 of the Core Rulebook.

INITIAL PROFICIENCIES

At 1st level, you gain a number of proficiencies that represent your basic training. These proficiencies are noted at the start of this class.

WEAVER SPELLCASTING

You access the well of power that resides throughout the realm, calling forth psychic magic with nothing but thought and will. You can cast occult spells using the Cast a Spell activity. You alter some of the standard spell components when casting spells you know from your weaver spellcasting. This represents how you exert your force towards the intended effect. Any of these components impart the concentrate trait to the spell you're casting, unless you are using the material components for that spell. You can substitute any material components with somatic components, though these tend to be simple movements of the hand or head compared to those used by other spellcasters. This substitution can cause you to have to perform two actions of somatic components. Your spells still have clear and noticeable visual and auditory manifestations as normal for a spellcaster.

Each day, you can cast two 1st‑level spells. You must know spells to cast them, and you learn them via the spell repertoire class feature. The number of spells you can cast each day is called your spell slots.

As you increase in level as a weaver, your number of spells per day increases, as does the highest level of spells you can cast, as shown on Table 1–2: Weaver Spells per Day. Some of your spells require you to attempt a spell attack roll to see how effective they are, or have your enemies roll against your spell DC (typically by attempting a saving throw). You would use your Constitution modifier for your spells gained by this class.

Heightening Spells

When you get spell slots of 2nd level and higher, you can fill those slots with stronger versions of lower‑level spells. This increases the spell’s level to match the spell slot. You must have a spell in your spell repertoire at the level you want to cast it to heighten it to that level. Many spells have specific improvements when they’re heightened to certain levels. The signature spells class feature lets you heighten certain spells freely.

Cantrips

Some of your spells are cantrips, and your choice of weaver's conduit class feature give you a unique cantrip. A cantrip is a special type of spell that doesn’t use spell slots. You can cast a cantrip at will any number of times per day. A cantrip is automatically heightened to half your level rounded up — this is usually equal to the highest level of psychic spell slot you have. For example, as a 1st‑level weaver, your cantrips are 1st‑level spells, and as a 5th‑level weaver, your cantrips are 3rd‑level spells.

* The weaver’s tailor of fate class feature gives you a 10th-rank spell slot that works a bit differently from other spell slots.

SPELL REPERTOIRE

The collection of spells you can cast is called your spell repertoire. At 1st level, you learn one 1st‑level occult spell of your choice and four occult cantrips of your choice. You choose these spells from the common spells from the occult list or from other occult spells to which you have access. You can cast any spell in your spell repertoire by using a spell slot of an appropriate spell level. Your choice of weaver's conduit also grants you additional spells in your repertoire, starting with an additional 1st level spell of a total of 2 and one cantrip listed in your weaver's conduit for a total of 5.

You add to this spell repertoire as you increase in level. Each time you get a spell slot (see Table 1–2: Weaver Spells per Day), you add a spell to your spell repertoire of the same level. At 2nd level, you select another 1st‑level spell; at 3rd level, you select one 2nd‑level spell, and so on. When you add spells, you might add a higher‑level version of a spell you already have, so you can cast a heightened version of that spell. Your weaver's conduit also adds additional spells to your repertoire as you gain spells of higher levels.

Though you gain them at the same rate, your spell slots and the spells in your spell repertoire are separate. If a feat or other ability adds a spell to your spell repertoire, such as the spells you gain from your weaver's mind, it wouldn’t give you another spell slot, and vice versa.

You do not have a focus pool, but there are weaver class feats that grant focus spells and increase your focus points. When you gain your first focus point from a weaver class feat, you also gain a focus pool of 1. (Though if you have focus spells from a source other than weaver, you can still spend Focus Points to cast them, as normal.)

Swapping Spells in Your Repertoire

As you gain new spells in your repertoire, you might want to replace some of the spells you previously learned. Each time you gain a level and learn new spells, you can swap out one of your old spells for a different spell of the same level. This spell can be a cantrip. You can also swap out spells by retraining during downtime.

THREADS

You are able to visualize supernatural, luminous ties to certain things known as "threads." Threads are ethereal in appearance and created from the Sew Thread action (see below). They can also be severed, i.e. destroyed, with the Sever action (see below). You cannot sew a thread into yourself. Threads can also be created from your spells of 1st level or higher granted by your Conduit, and they allow you to enhance your weaver spells by other class features and feats.

Each thread can only be used once, then it fades away as they become severed. A creature or an object can have only one thread tied to it at a given time; severing the previous thread in favor of the new thread. Threads can be severed if a Strike is made against them by a weapon, spell, or ability that can target incorporeal objects (AC equal to 10 + your level + your Constitution modifier). Threads automatically sever if you are more than 100 feet away from the threaded creature or object (gaining no benefits gained for the severing in this manner).

Sever

CONCENTRATE
WEAVER
You have a thread you created within 30 feet of you, or a thread has been placed on you.
You sever the thread, causing one of a few effects if you created it. If the thread was created by you and on a creature, you have that creature either gain your choice of mental resist or mental weakness with a value equal to one-third of your weaver level (minimum of 1) until the start of your next turn. This effect can stack when used multiple times.

Sew Thread

THREAD
WEAVER
You attempt to sew a supernatural, lumious bond between you and your target. You target a creature or an item that is 1 cubic foot in size or smaller within 30 feet of you. If the target is an unwilling creature or unwilling sentient item, the target must make a basic Fortitude save against your spells save DC.
As a success, but the creature cannot gain threads by you for 1 minute.
You successfully sew a thread into the target. This thread last for 1 round or until your use the thread to enhance a spell.
The thread is not sewn into the target.
As a failure, but the thread lasts for 1 minute

WEAVER'S CONDUIT

A weaver can manipulate a particular energy by forming themselves into a conduit. This transformation into a personal conduit requires a ritual that varies in its processes and material components. Once this ritual is complete, the weaver becomes a conduit for, a channel for weaving a natural or esoteric force throughout the realm.

Choose the type of conduit that you want to become. Your

KEY TERMS

You'll see these key terms in various weaver class features. One is more common than the other.

Resonate It represents when a creature or object is vibrating at a certain frequency that would cause effects related to Sonic to occur. If a creature or object has this trait, it gains sonic weakness 1. If the creature has sonic weakness 5 or greater, the target will gain stunned 1 whenever taking sonic damage. On its own, it does little except cause slight discomfort.

Thread This is a visual supernatural ability that uses the mind and form of the creature to exert their will. Abilities, actions, and spells with this trait sews one thread into an affected target. Threads are not magical. When a thread is destroyed, it is known as "severing" it.



conduit grants you supernatural abilities, spells, and a Lore skill. You may further your conduit to later grant you other supernatural abilities and focus spells, but not all weavers following this path. When you roll a critical failure for the granted Lore skill, you have a normal failure instead.

Your conduit also dictates the effects of your sacrificial binding, provide unique psionic talents and knacks you have access to, adds an focus spell you can use, and gives you one or more trained skills. Weaving the patterns of forces you encounter and can bring forth to achieve power and understanding.

The following weaver conduits are presented in this document.

Blood: Life and consanguinity weaved to connect you to others for proper flow and removal of clots.

Shadow: Light and its presence is necessary to give meaning to darkness that it weaves for you to envelope all.

Sound: Communication and effects weaves the attention for you to determine whether it be cooperation or hostility.

Thermal: Warmth and frost are generated as they are weaved for your preservation or necessary transition.

SACRIFICIAL BINDING

Drawing upon a natural force of the world serves as an incredible task without a form of magic as a conduit. You cut out the need and weave as you see fit. Although, this weaving ability requires a binding ritual to be completed. One that requires a supernatural sacrifice; forgoing a portion of body and soul.

The specific effects of your sacrificial binding are tied to the type of conduit you are, but all conduits follow the same progression. Your sacrificial binding involves a major reminder of your emergence as a weaver, but the sacrifice is repaid tenfold the longer you weave the force you are tied to.

Your sacrificial binding has varying traits. You can’t mitigate, reduce, or remove the effects of your sacrificial binding by any means, including magical means, as it is integral to your binding to the force you weave.

SKILL FEATS
2ND

At 2nd level and every 2 levels thereafter, you gain a skill feat. Skill feats are listed in Chapter 5 of the Core Rulebook and have the skill trait. You must be trained or better in the corresponding skill to select a skill feat.

WEAVER FEATS
2ND

At 2nd level and every even-numbered level thereafter, you gain a weaver class feat.

GENERAL FEATS
3RD

At 3rd level and every 4 levels thereafter, you gain a general feat. General feats are listed in Chapter 5 of the Core Rulebook.

SIGNATURE SPELLS
3RD

Your instinctive weave some of your spells to be more flexible. For each spell level you have access to, choose one spell of that level to be a signature spell. You don’t need to learn heightened versions of signature spells separately; instead, you can heighten these spells freely. If you’ve learned a signature spell at a higher level than its minimum, you can also cast all its lower‑level versions without learning those separately. If you swap out a signature spell, you can choose a replacement signature spell of the same spell level at which you learned the previous spell. You can also retrain specifically to change a signature spell to a different spell of that level without swapping any spells; this takes as much time as retraining a spell normally does.

SKILL INCREASES
3RD

At 3rd level and every 2 levels thereafter, you gain a skill increase. You can use this increase to either become trained in one skill you’re untrained in, or become an expert in one skill in which you’re already trained.

At 7th level, you can use skill increases to become a master in a skill in which you’re already an expert, and at 15th level, you can use them to become legendary in a skill in which you’re already a master.

ABILITY BOOSTS
5TH

At 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter, you boost four different ability scores. You can use these ability boosts to increase your ability scores above 18. Boosting an ability score increases it by 1 if it’s already 18 or above, or by 2 if it starts out below 18.

ANCESTRY FEATS
5TH

In addition to the ancestry feat you started with, you gain an ancestry feat at 5th level and every 4 levels thereafter. The list of ancestry feats available to you can be found in your ancestry’s entry in Chapter 2 of the Core Rulebook.

Your proficiency rank for your weaver class DC increase to legendary.

TAILOR OF FATE

You gain a single 10th-level spell slot you can use to cast one of those two spells using weaver spellcasting. You don't gain more 10th-level spells as you level up, unlike other spell slots, and

you can't use 10th-level slots with abilities that give you more spell slots or that let you cast spells without expending spell slots. You can take the Sartorial Warping feat to gain a second slot.

Conduits

Choose the type of conduit you will to become and begin weaving its related force. Your chosen conduit also has a sacrifice related to it, which causes you to gain the initial sacrifice benefit.

READING A CONDUIT ENTRY

A conduit entry contains the following information, followed by a description of that conduit's sacrificial binding.

Conduit Benefit The conduit benefit is a special ability (or abilities) you gain from becoming this type of conduit.

Sacrifice Becoming this kind of conduit, you have or must undergo this sacrificial ritual. You gain the Initial Sacrifice benefit. The Restitution and Unification benefits can be obtained later should you hone your weaving capabilities.

The weaver archetype grants you access to a weaver conduit, but you must perform a ritual that would serve as a sacrifice necessary to be dedicated and being weaving (GM's discretion). It's a particularly unique multiclass for characters who want a challenge or willing to delve into the esoteric arts.

  • Alchemist weavers may believe the sacrifice in becoming a conduit is a necessary step in their research. Threads can assist with quick item retrieval and combine well with the use of mutagens and poisons.
  • Champion weavers can use their threads to enhance their spellcasting and may associate their sacrifice to join the higher ranks of a sect or cult.
  • Druid weavers may form links with the forces of nature in more ways than previously available. Forming threads that act as roots and vines to the chaotic battlefield. Akin to a spider, weaving threads frequently and knowing when to strike.
  • Oracle weavers may be troubled by their curse and sacrifice, yet it is all the more rewarding in the end.
  • Wizard weavers will find the sacrifice worth the greater control and sway in duels. They could weave threads to reposition allies and enemies into favorable situations.
