School of Shattering

The school of shattering is my homebrew school of magic that messes with or breaks apart time, space, reality, and minds.

Why didn't you just add these spells to an existing school? Because I had a lot of ideas, and many didn't fit well into existing schools, or were too spread out across them. I wanted an easier way to make other brews, like a wizard subclass, centered around this new magic and making a new school would make that incredibly easier. Also, I thought it would be cool. A homebrew school of magic should have little to no impact on any game setting beyond letting players know it exists.

If you want to use these in your own game, feel free, though let me know how it goes, I love to get playtest feedback! If you want to use my spells in your own published project, please ask me first. I'm cool with it normally as long as I get credit ;)

  • Duration: Instantaneous

3rd-level shattering


  • Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when an attack, saving throw, or ability check is determined to be a success or failure
  • Range: 30 feet
  • Components: S, M (a set of bone dice worth at least 1gp)
  • Duration: Instantaneous
  • Classes: Bard, Sorcerer, Warlock

You attempt to try fate once more. When a creature makes an attack, saving throw, or ability check within range and the result is determined but no damage has been rolled you may force that creature to attempt the roll anew.

At Higher Levels: If you cast this spell with a spell slot of 4th level or higher, you can force the new roll to no longer have advantage or disadvantage if it had before.

More?

Look forward to my eventual release of my New Dawn setting, which will have the following (likely more, this is just what I have or have planned thus far);

  • Spells higher than 3rd level, of shattering school and original schools, for more than 150 total!
  • 16+ new subclasses
  • 8+ new races, each with a racial feat
  • A new class, the Watcher
  • 7+ new feats (not including new racial feats)
  • 4 backgrounds
  • 2+ invocations
  • In depth details several towns and cities throughout New Dawn
  • Over 30 new magic items
  • Over 100 new creatures, including Shattered creatures, NPCs of the new subclasses, new race NPCs, and more
  • An adventure module set in the world of New Dawn alongside several oneshots/short stories
