Advisor
The tall and well kept door to a magnificent study opens wide. A glimmer of happiness peaks through a young elven woman's eye, as she witnesses the wonder that is this ancient collection of knowledge. Swiftly running her fingers through each and every page of such a wonderful account of old magics, certainly containing guidance for later.
A thud from a war piece, pushed along by a dwarven general's croupier stick. Clad with plate armor and surrounded by a war room's armory, an angered commander orders silence. A clear head is needed to make this decision, after brief dead air two words come from the general's mouth. "To war!"
Shifting stone scratches across an archaic structure. A tomb opening itself after the grizzled half-orc turned and reordered stones in a pattern of his own finding. At long last, a decades worth of study and exploration pays off through authenticity.
All of these accomplishments are truly defining moments for these members of the Advisor class. Filled with advice and brimming with knowledge, Advisors represent the pinnacle of expertise and skill versatility. Teaching allies and others
Masters of the Mundane
In what is commonly a magically dominated archetype, the advisor is a master of whatever they want to be. The connection to schooling or perhaps even, natural born academic superiority enables the best of the best to rise to the ranks amongst their arcane counterparts.
Although not traditionally considered strong or dexterous, an advisor is extremely versatile. From picking apart an ancient riddle to calculating the perfect amount of downswing for the strike of a weapon, advisors are always both learning and teaching.
Edge of Education
Similar to the bard in many ways, any old teacher or professor isn't always a true advisor. The ability to boil down basic truths and facts into a singular short piece of advice is a difficult task for most. Getting a grasp on the levity, complexity and nuance of specific topics, and then being able to regurgitate it in an understandable and meaningful way is a feat no less than magic.
Utilizing their own knowledge, and that of many others, Advisors are masters of whatever they set their hearts to. The drive to find and perfect knowledge, a craft or an art drives them more than any ideology could.
Creating an Advisor
As you make your advisor character, the largest focus should be put onto what you want the character's field of expertise to be. Although the class features related to your field don't appear until you reach 3rd level, plan ahead by reading their descriptions at the end of the class. Not all advisors got to be one due to an equal playing field though, you should also think about an advisor's upbringing.
Were they enrolled in the most prestigious, high-brow, and curricularly extensive institution this side of the Forgotten Realms? Or did they learn to live on their own, increasing their survival skills, with each passing day?
Quick Build
You can make an advisor quickly by following these suggestions. First, Intelligence should be your highest ability score, followed by Constitution or Dexterity. If you plan to become an expert in a field, use that to determine what you should increase next. Second, choose the sage background.
Optional Rule: Multiclass
If your group uses the optional multiclassing rule, here's what you need to know if you choose to take your first level in the advisor class.
Ability Score Minimum. As a multiclass character, you must have at least an Intelligence score of 13 in order to take a level in this class, or to take a level in another class if you are already an advisor.
Proficiencies Gained. If advisor isn't your initial class, here are the proficiencies you gain when you take your first level as an advisor: light armor, one skill of your choice, and one set of artisan's tools of your choice.
Optional Rule: Alternate Advice
If you believe that your advisor gives advice based on previous experience and wisdom, or charismatic communication; you can use Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma for your Word of Advice ability modifier.

Word of Advice
At 1st level, you can utilize your own wealth of knowledge to assist others. As a reaction, whenever a creature, other than yourself, who can hear you, makes an ability check or saving throw with an ability you are proficient in, you can roll a d4, and add or subtract the number rolled to their roll. Intelligence is your ability for these effects when you use this trait.
Advice Dice. You have 1 advice die, which is a d4, and you gain more as you reach higher levels, as shown in the Advice Die column of the Advisor table.
You can never have more advice dice than shown on the table for your level. An advice die is expended when you use it. You regain all of your expended advice dice when you finish a long rest.
Saving Throws. When you choose to subtract the number rolled, it requires the target to make an Intelligence saving throw to avoid following your word’s effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:
Advice Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus +
Common Knowledge
At 2nd level, your teachings can assist in all sorts of future tasks. Whenever you finish a short or long rest, you can choose one skill or tool proficiency that you have and grant it to a friendly creature. They lose this proficiency when you use this feature to choose a different proficiency that you have. Starting at 15th level, you can grant this to up to 3 friendly creatures.
Master of One
Starting at 2nd level, choose one of your skill or tool proficiencies. Whenever you make an ability check that uses the chosen proficiency, you can treat a d20 roll equal to or lower than your Intelligence modifier as your modifier plus 1.
Field of Expertise
At 3rd level, you choose a field of expertise that you utilize in the application of your advisor abilities: Arcanology, Archeology, Criminology, Polemology, Theology or Zoology detailed at the end of the class description, or one from another source. Your archetype choice grants you features at 3rd level and then again at 6th, 10th, 14th and 18th level.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Using the optional feats rule, you can forgo taking this feature to take a feat of your choice instead.
True Abettor
Starting at 5th level, your quick thinking and drive to protect yourself allows you to assist in other ways, from a distance. You can take a bonus action on each of your turns in combat. This action can be used only to take the Disengage, Help or Search action.
Additionally, when you use the Help action to aid an ally in attacking a creature, the target of that attack can be within 30 feet of you, rather than within 5 feet of you, if the target can hear you.
Your Own Advice
Beginning at 7th level, follow through on your words. You can use a bonus action on your turn to grant yourself advantage on the next d20 roll you make within the next 10 minutes.
Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.
Cut to the Chase
Beginning at 9th level, your mind-body coordination work in tandem. You can give yourself a bonus to your initiative rolls equal to your Intelligence modifier.
Repeated Mantra
By 11th level, repeating your words allows for even further assistance. When you spend an Advice Die, you can choose to expend additional Advice Die to the roll. The maximum number of advice die (1d4 plus any additional die) that you can spend equals half your advisor level, rounded down.
Insult to Injury
Starting at 13th level, whenever you hit a creature with an attack, you can use your reaction to spend advice die and add the number rolled to the next damage roll you make.
Louder Than Words
At 17th level, you know that actions speak louder than words. On your turn, you may give another creature, who can hear you, one additional action, which it takes on your initiative.
Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.
Unforgettable Instruction
At 20th level, there is irrefutable evidence on your impact on combat. In combat, you get a special reaction that you can take once on every creature’s turn, except your turn. You can use this special reaction only to use your Word of Advice feature, and you can’t use it on the same turn that you take your normal reaction.
Field of Expertise
An Advisor's field of expertise is the area of which their knowledge flourishes. With nearly all the informative concepts of their studied topic, an Advisor is a premiere source of information.
Arcanology
Within the field of Arcanology, these advisors are masters of instruction but have also earned the attention of the world around them, established as a force of change. Similar to magical capabilities of those who study the schools of wizardry, Arcanologists fixate their study in the schools of Divination and Enchantment.
Spellcasting
When you reach 3rd level, you augment your scholarly methods with the ability to cast spells. See Spells Rules for the general rules of spellcasting and the Spells Listing for the wizard spell list.
Cantrips
You learn three cantrips: vicious mockery and two other cantrips of your choice from the wizard spell list. You learn another wizard cantrip of your choice at 10th level.
Spell Slots
The Arcanology Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your wizard spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
For example, if you know the 1st-level spell charm person and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast charm person using either slot.
Spells Known of 1st-Level and Higher
When you reach 3rd level, You know three 1st-level wizard spells of your choice, two of which you must choose from the divination and enchantment spells on the wizard spell list.
The Spells Known column of the Arcanology Spellcasting table shows when you learn more wizard spells of 1st level or higher. Each of these spells must be a divination and enchantment spell of your choice, and must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 7th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.
The spells you learn at 8th, 14th, and 20th level can come from any school of magic.
Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the wizard spells you know with another spell of your choice from the wizard spell list. The new spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots, and it must be a divination and enchantment spell, unless you’re replacing the spell you gained at 3rd, 8th, 14th, or 20th level from any school of magic.
Spellcasting Ability
Your Intelligence modifier is your spellcasting ability for your wizard spells, since your magic comes from the same places as your knowledge of the world. You use your this modifier whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your this modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a wizard spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell Save DC
