Weavers of Time

Most Oracles are born uniquely talented in the art of seeing into the future, as the gift of seeing the Weave for what is is outside the range of ability for most. The rare few can be trained by other talented oracles. There is no turning off this ability for Oracles, much like most see suns or stars, an Oracle can easily see aspects of the future.

The magic of Oracles is arcane in nature, but comes about not through study of books or rituals, nor through a birthright or bloodline, but instead by pulling the threads of the Weave, manipulating them, and predicting the consequences. Most oracles have built their oracular talents on their wisdom and knowledge of how the world works.

The spells that oracles predict into being evoke certainty, illusion, enchantment, and often natural phenomena gone wrong, all things that could potentially be explained away as bizarre coincidence. Those knowledgeable about oracles, however, know that these phenomena are caused by the predictions of such oracles coming into fruition at the right times.

Inheritors of Knowledge

Not everyone who practices the arts of augury or divination is an oracle. Other beings who can access magic can use their strengths and magical capabilities to emulate a portion of what oracles can do. But oracles are the undisputed masters of this art.

Most oracles will take up the life of an adventurer in order to stop or alter a future they have seen. They have considered what threads they need to reweave in order to prevent such an outcome from occuring. Other adventuring oracles might see a future that was stable and good be suddenly altered by the machinations of some entity interfering with the natural flow of things. Regardless, oracles protect the sanctity of time, but most see fate as the alterable and moldable entity that it is, and aim to use their unique mastery of this reality to their advantage.

Oracle Multiclassing

Oracles follow all the normal rules for multiclassing. The following tables function as additions to the normal multiclassing rules.

Ability Score Minimum. As a multiclass character, you must have at least a Wisdom or Charisma score of 15 to take a level in this class, or to take a level in another class if you are already an oracle.

Spell Slots. Add all your levels in the oracle class to the appropriate levels from other classes to determine your available spell slots.

Oracle Proficiency Bonus. When multiclassed, any oracle class feature that refers to your oracle proficiency bonus refers to what your proficiency bonus would be if only taking your oracle levels into account. If not multiclassed, this value will equal your regular proficiency bonus. Refer to the Oracle Class Table in the Proficiency Bonus column for what your oracle proficiency bonus is.

Fate Dice

Starting at 1st level, you have a number of fate dice, which are d20s, equal to your oracle proficiency bonus. You can also gain Fate Dice through casting your oracle spells, as described in your Predictive Magic section of your Spellcasting feature. You regain all expended Fate Dice when you finish a long rest.

At the start of each of your turns, you can expend a fate die and roll it, provided you aren't incapacitated (no action required). You can then designate a creature you can see within 60 feet of you. The next time that creature rolls a d20, it ignores the roll and must take your roll instead.

Knowledge of the Ages

Starting at 1st level, your attunement with time and the weave allows you skill with memory and knowledge. Whenever you make an Intelligence ability check, you can use Wisdom instead of Intelligence for the check. You also gain proficiency in History, and you add double your proficiency bonus to checks you make with it.

Spellcasting

At 1st level, your oracular power manifests in your ability to read and manipulate the flow of time, allowing you to cast spells.

Cassandra's Truth

You are cursed with the knowledge that most will never believe your prophecies. You suffer Disadvantage on Charisma checks. That focus inwards bolsters yourself, and your prophecies become even more prophetic, and your spell attack modifier and spell save DC for your oracle spells increase by 1.

Ophelia's Babble

Your voice constantly bubbles out incoherent thoughts, even when you wish you could stay quiet. You make Charisma and Dexterity (Stealth) checks with Disadvantage as long as you can speak. These words are tinged with truth, however, and those that start their turn within 5 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw against your oracle spell save DC or else be Frightened of you until the start of your next turn.

Seer's Sight

Your eyes are visibly unsettling, whether they are cataracted, or by the presence of a Third Eye. You are blind, at least in the typical way of understanding the term. You have Blindsight out to a radius of 5 times your maximum number of Fate Dice, but are considered Blinded beyond that radius. For the purposes of spells and abilities, you can see all creatures within 120 feet of you, passing through any nonmagical barriers.

Tenor Spells

Each Oracle Tenor has a collection of arcane knowledge and specialization related to their specific dreams and visions. You learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on each Tenor's Tenor Spells table. Each of these spells counts as an oracle spell for you, but it doesn't count against the number of oracle spells you know.

Foretell

Each tenor gains specific benefits when they set certain triggers for casting an oracle spell of 1st level or higher with the Ready Action. One of those benefits common to all oracles is that whenever their special trigger occurs, they regain 1 additional expended Fate die.

Deathteller Spells

A Skull's Knowledge

2nd-level Deathteller Tenor feature

Harbinger

These oracles are often born in extremes; either extreme wealth and the easiest lives, or in sheer desperation, with every day a struggle to survive amid everyday horrors. Their dreams and visions are filled with utter destruction of life and society. Do you give in to these visions of the future and help them come about, in the knowledge that doing otherwise is futile? Or do you aim to oppose the fate you see with all your might?

Lucid Spells

Pulling Strings

2nd-level Lucid Tenor feature

Prophet Spells

Divine Conduit

2nd-level Prophet Tenor feature

Purveyor

Purveyors of order, these oracles are often born in strictly ordered societies. Maybe you were a servant of the modrons, using your power of foresight to help ensure order is achieved, to avoid chaos and to ensure stability. Your visions focus on reorientation, on stabilization of a world on the brink of tipping.

Cantrips

1st-level Spells

Conjure Scales

3rd level Conjuration

• Spell Lists: Oracle
• Casting Time: 1 Action
• Range: 60 Feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, up to 10 Minutes

You bring into being cosmic balance, attaching two creatures you can see within range to each other in harmony. For the duration, when either creature takes damage, you can cause the other attached creature to immediately take the same damage. Similarly, when either creature is healed, you can cause the other attached creature to heal for the same amount. If both creatures took the same damage or healed for the same amount from the same source, you cannot increase the damage or healing.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell with a spell slot of 4th level or higher, you can attach one more creature in this way for every slot level above 3rd. When you choose to increase the damage or healing, pick one of the other attached creatures to receive it.

Moment of Strength

3rd level Divination

• Spell Lists: Oracle
• Casting Time: 1 Action
• Range: 60 Feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: 1 Minute

You prophesize a moment of herculean strength for a creature you can see within range. That creature gains a moment of strength, which it can decide to use at the beginning of one of its turns during the spell's duration, no action required. When a creature uses it, and until the end of its turn, it rolls a natural 20 on all d20 rolls it makes. Once the creature's turn ends where it uses the moment of strength, the spell ends.

Lady of the Lake

5th level Transmutation

• Spell Lists: Oracle
• Casting Time: 1 Action
• Range: Self (20-Foot Radius)
• Components: V, S, M (rock from an meteorite)
• Duration: 1 Hour

You conjure a mythical lake around you, which immediately surrounds you to a radius of 30 feet and to a depth of 20 feet, though you stand effortlessly atop it and can move as normal as if on solid ground. You can also use a Bonus Action on your turn to submerge yourself 10 feet into the water, granting yourself full cover against creatures who are not in the water. You can also use a bonus action when submerged in this way to immediately rise to the top of the lake. You have Advantage on ability checks and saving throws you make to avoid being Grappled, moved, or teleported out of the lake.

As part of the casting of the spell, you form the material components for the spell into a melee weapon of your choice, called the Lady of the Lake. The weapon can take any form, and it gains a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls its wielder makes with it, and deals an additional 1d6 Force damage on a hit. One creature of your choice that enters the lake can immediately walk on the lake's water as if it were solid ground, and if it comes within 5 feet of you while you are not submerged, you can use your reaction to give them the Lady of Lake, at which point the Lake disappears, though the Lady of the Lake retains its benefits for the duration.

The wielder of the Lady of the Lake and any other creature of your choice within 10 feet of the wielder gains a +2 bonus to saving throws they make while they wield it.

Once the spell ends, the Lady of the Lake crumbles into rock.

Seal Fate

9th level Divination

• Spell Lists: Oracle
• Casting Time: 1 Action
• Range: 60 Feet
• Components: V, S, M (a thread of spun gold and a set of shears)
• Duration: 10 Minutes

You seize control of the destiny of a creature you can see within range.

Whenever the target makes an ability check, attack roll, or saving throw other than a saving throw against this spell for the duration, you can choose whether the roll succeeds or fails, instead of allowing the creature to roll. A creature can expend a use of legendary resistance to override this failure. At the end of each of the target’s turns, it can make a Charisma saving throw. After the target succeeds on three saving throws against this spell, the spell ends. The successes do not need to be sequential.
