>[!quote]+ Stevanas Hareth, The Mad Apostle of Knowledge >“*No, **you** misunderstand. I can tie Leylines together with my bare hands. I know the most intimate truths of this world, things that only Vaka can comprehend. The depths of my mind are a place so dark and vast that naught can escape but what I allow. I could crush any creature on Valakadyn with hardly more than a thought. And you think **I** am the one that should be afraid? Oh, my sweet child. The only thing I fear in this multiverse is Clepsydra's Collapse, and the only being capable of that just so happens to be my brother. So, go ahead, give me your best shot. Show me something I've never seen before, or face the divine judgement that sent Pyraeon screaming into the abyss.*” *What does it mean to be "Smart?" To some, it means having a breadth of information at your disposal. To others, it means being able to use your experience and learning to affect the world around you. For the Apostle of Knowledge, it means having the ability to wield magic that makes Gods tremble, Mortals flee, and other Apostles fear what you might do next. Originally bestowed upon the Mad Apostle Stevanas Hareth, this power enables it's wielder to harness Aether with unparalleled efficiency, allowing them to bypass the restrictions of their Elemental Affinity and convert one type of Aether to another seamlessly, granting them the ability to cast any spell they can imagine. A full-fledged Apostle of Knowledge is one to be feared and respected in equal measure, as they could change reality itself with little more than a wave of their hand.* ## Overview and Proficiencies The *Apostle* is a power system designed to work alongside your standard class, augmenting your abilities as you level up. Your *Apostle* Level starts at 1 when you become an *Apostle*, whether you are born with the power or gifted it. Generally, your *Apostle* Level corresponds to your Character Level, and you gain an *Apostle* Level when you level up in your main class. If you become an *Apostle* above Character Level 1, your *Apostle* Level increases twice as fast as your Character Level until the two are equal. If your character **Ascends** to godhood and becomes a ***Harbinger*** or ***Seraph***, both your *Apostle* Level and Character Level instantly increase to 20. As an *Apostle*, you are granted additional proficiencies and the ability to cast spells. When playing a spellcaster class (Bard, Cleric, Druid, Sorcerer, Warlock, or Wizard) or a martial class (Barbarian, Blood Hunter, Fighter, Gunslinger, Illrigger, Monk, Monster Hunter, Pugilist, or Rogue), you use the *Apostle* spellcasting rules. When playing a partial-caster class (Artificer, Paladin, or Ranger), you use the *Apostle* spellcasting rules when casting *Apostle* spells, and your class's spellcasting rules when casting other spells. You gain the following features: ### Tables #### Apostle Table | **Level** | Features | Proficiency Bonus | Cantrips Known | Spells Known | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | 6th | 7th | 8th | 9th | Total Slot Number | | ------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :---------------: | :------------: | :----------: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :-: | :---------------: | | **1** | Spellcasting;

See Chapter 10 of the _Player's Handbook_ for the general rules of spellcasting, and see below for the Elemental spell list. ### Spellcasting Ability Constitution is your spellcasting ability for your *Apostle* spells, since you learn your spells through your ability to sustain their effects. You use your Constitution whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Constitution modifier when setting the Saving Throw DC for an *Apostle* spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one. Spell Save DC = 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Constitution modifier Spell Attack Modifier = your Proficiency Bonus + your Constitution modifier ### Spellcasting Focus When you choose your Element at Level 1, arcane tattoos begin creeping up one of your arms (your choice), acting as a focus for your spells. As your Apostolic powers grow, so too do your tattoos, granting you further abilities. At Level 20, the tattoos cover the entire chosen side of your body, excluding the face (if you so choose). ### Cantrips At Level 1, you know two cantrips of your choice from any class's spell list. You learn additional cantrips of your choice at higher levels as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the *Apostle* table at the bottom of the class description. ### Spell Slots The *Apostle* table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your 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. ### Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from any class's spell list. The spells you choose must be of your Element (see the [[Apostle Class Description#Damage Type Table|Damage Type Table]] below), or pure Aether general-purpose spells, such as *Shield, Counterspell, and Dispel Magic*. The Spells Known column of the *Apostle* table shows when you learn more spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach Level 3, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level. Additionally, when you take a Long Rest, you can choose to remove one of the spells you know and replace it with another spell of your Element. That spell must also be of a level for which you have spell slots. ## Granted Spells You learn certain spells at their corresponding levels, as shown below. None of these spells count against your limit of spells known. In addition to the spells listed in the table, you learn both the *Cure Wounds* and the *Inflict Wounds* spells at **Level 1,** and *Counterspell* and *Dispel Magic* at **Level 5.** >[!spell-red]- Name - Cantrip (Level 1) >**Abjuration / Conjuration / Divination / Enchantment / Evocation / Illusion / Necromancy / Transmutation / Biomancy / Sanguimancy Cantrip** >**Casting Time:** 1 Action / 1 Bonus Action / 1 Reaction / 1 Minute / 10 Minutes / 1 Hour >**Range:** ## ft.

Choose one of the following options, which are further detailed in each subclass's individual description: **Air, Beasts, Control, Death, Earth, Flame, Frost, Gravity, Illusion, Justice, Knowledge, Life, Light, Moons, Nature, Shadows, Song, Stars, Storms, Sun, Time, War,** or **Water.** You may also, with the permission of your DM, create a new Apostolic element to wield, making yourself a _Hierophant_. Current *Hierophants* include: **Ashes, Blood, Metal, Twilight, Undeath, and Vengeance.** To create a new *Hierophant,* see [[Forging Divinity - How To Create An Apostle]]. Additionally, at your DM's discretion, you have access to three additional Apostolic abilities: the **Herald of Annihilation (Void), the Herald of Entropy (Order),** and the **Herald of Creation (Chaos).** These powers are bestowed by the Primordial Deities (Vaka, Vyra, or Vur) and can overwhelm even the strongest *Apostle*. These powers are incredibly strong when wielded correctly, and can quickly overpower all other available subclasses. Speak with your DM if you'd like to use any of these options. %% **DM Note:** These classes are best played as NPCs that travel with the party or as antagonists to be overcome, rather than by a player. Give these abilities to a player at your discretion.%% > *Your choice grants you elemental abilities, elemental spells, and additional abilities called **Epiphanies,** which you gain every other level (2nd, 4th, 6th...). There can only be one Apostle of each Element, so coordinate with your party and your DM to ensure no one has the same element. This power system was made to be easy to expand, so work with your DM to build a brand-new Apostolic Element if none of the above options sound appealing. Just remember to follow the naming scheme! Characters that possess any of the original twenty-three powers created by Vaka are known as **Apostles.** Apostles that have attained Divinity by dethroning their corresponding **Deity** are known as **Harbingers.** Elemental powers created through the [[The Apostolic Rituals#The Ritual of Convergence|Ritual of Convergence]] are known as **Hierophants.** The few characters bestowed with the powers of the Primordial Elements themselves (by providence, ritual, or other means) are known as **Heralds.** Finally, Apostles that merged with their Deity, combining Divine power with Mortal adaptability, are known as **Seraphim.*** > [!container-blue]- Valakadyn's Damage Types and Elements > In ***The Grand Game,*** some of the familiar D&D damage types have been renamed. See the list below for changes: >> **Death** = Necrotic >> **Earth** = Acid >> **Flame** = Fire >> **Frost** = Cold >> **Light** = Radiant >> **Mind** = Psychic >> **Song** = Thunder >> **Gravitic** = Force > > Additionally, the magical weapon damage types have been condensed: >> Magical Bludgeoning, Piercing, and Slashing = **Physical** Damage > > ***The Grand Game*** also utilizes several unique damage types. For the purposes of *Elemental Resistance and Vulnerability*, as well as spell damage types, consult the following list: >> **Dark** ≈ Poison >> **Life** ≈ Healing (Can be weaponized) >> **Water** ≈ Magical Piercing >> **Wind** ≈ Magical Slashing > > Finally, ***The Grand Game*** has three *Primordial* damage types. All other Elements descend from these original three. >> **Chaos** = Creation ≈ Wild Magic >> **Order** = Destruction ≈ Standard Magic >> **Void** = Nothingness ≈ Anti-Magic ### Immortality The awesome power you wield grants you myriad benefits, the least of which includes **Immortality.** When you become an *Apostle* at Level 1, the infusion of pure Aether into your form destroys your body completely, rendering you down to pure atomic dust. Then, as the Weave reacts to and accepts your new providence, your body is rebuilt, cell by cell, into what your subconscious considers your "peak form". **Your body no longer ages.** Any Conditions, Curses, or Diseases you might have been afflicted with are cured, and any missing body parts or limbs are regrown (if they were not lost through an act of Divine violence, if they were missing at birth, or if you simply would prefer for them to remain gone). If you are born as an *Apostle,* your power manifests in adolescence, around age three, and your body ages as normal until you reach full maturity. This age varies between species, but most *Apostles* have the appearance of being in their mid-30s to early-40s. Naturally, your character may take on any appearance you see fit. ### Rejection, Resistance, and Vulnerability When you become an *Apostle,* your body and spirit become infused with the Element of your choice. Your body evolves, changing your natural Aether output to that of your Element and granting you unmatched control over it. As a consequence, your body becomes incapable of channeling other types of Aether, making you weak to your Element's natural opposite. The damage types and their opposites are listed in the table above. **While you are an *Apostle,* you are unable to cast spells that deal damage with any Element except your own.** **At Level 1,** you gain **Resistance** to your damage type, and **Vulnerability** to its opposing damage type. If your Element's damage types are opposing Elements, you do not gain **Resistance** or **Vulnerability** to either damage type. **At Level 10,** you gain **Immunity** to your damage type. If your Element's damage types are opposing Elements, you instead gain **Resistance** to both damage types. **When you become a *Harbinger* or *Seraph* and reach Prestige Level 5,** you **Absorb** your damage type, and gain **Resistance** to your *Primordial Damage Type*. If your Element's damage types are opposing Elements, you instead gain **Immunity** to both damage types, as well as **Resistance** to your *Primordial Damage type.* ### Dissonance and Tribulation As a consequence of the strain placed on your body by becoming an *Apostle,* your physical and spiritual form is weakened while it acclimates to the raw Elemental Aether now infused within it, and part of your body is permanently damaged in the process. #### Dissonance As your body acclimates to its newfound Divinity, you are subject to the extreme effects of Aether exposure, detailed below. As your *Apostle Level* increases, your *Dissonance* decreases, fully abating when you reach *Apostle Level 4.* >[!spell-purp]- Level III - Discord >At *Apostle Level 1,* you suffer the following effects: >- Your Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution are reduced by 5, to a minimum of 8. >- Your HP and movement speed are halved. >- You are unable to add your Dexterity Modifier to your Armor Class. >- When you attempt to utilize an ability from your *Apostolic Element* or cast a spell of 1st level or higher, roll a d100, triggering an effect from the *Aether Surge* table. >- You are unable to cast spells greater than 3rd level. >[!spell-pink]- Level II - Divergence >At *Apostle Level 2,* you suffer the following effects: >- Your Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution are reduced by 2, to a minimum of 10. >- Your HP and movement speed are reduced by one-quarter. >- When you attempt to utilize an ability from your *Apostolic Element* or cast a spell of 1st level or higher, roll a d100. On a roll of 31 to 100, roll another d100 as you trigger an effect from the *Aether Surge* table. >- You are unable to cast spells greater than 4th level. >[!spell-white]- Level I - Dissonance >At *Apostle Level 3,* you suffer the following effects: >- Your Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution are reduced by 1, to a minimum of 12. >- When you attempt to utilize an ability from your *Apostolic Element* or cast a spell of 1st level or higher, roll a d100. On a roll of 61 to 100, roll another d100 as you trigger an effect from the *Aether Surge* table. >- You are unable to cast spells greater than 5th level. #### Tribulations As a consequence of the strain placed on your body by becoming an *Apostle,* part of your physical or spiritual form is permanently damaged. **At Level 1,** you suffer a Tribulation that comes with both a benefit and a hindrance. Your Tribulation cannot be removed or dispelled without becoming a *Harbinger* or *Seraph*. >[!container-brown]- Blinded (Celestials) >Your eyes are obscured, making it difficult for you to see. >**Starting at Level 1,** you cannot see anything beyond 30 feet, but you gain *Darkvision* to that range. >**At Level 5,** the range of your *Darkvision* extends to 60 feet. >**At Level 11,** you gain *Blindsight* out to a range of 30 feet. >**Starting at Level 15,** you gain *Truesight* out to a range of 15 feet. >[!container-black]- Bloodthirsty (War) >Your new power has awakened a violent hunger within you. > >**Starting at Level 1,** when you damage a target with an attack or spell, you become **Bloodthirsty** until the end of combat. While **Bloodthirsty,** you cannot willingly move farther away from a hostile creature you can see unless you succeed on a Wisdom Saving Throw against your own Spell Save DC. On a failed Saving Throw, you must move toward a hostile creature and choose a hostile creature as the target of your Attack or spell before the end of your turn. Additionally, when you reduce a hostile creature to zero Hit Points, you gain Temporary Hit Points equal to your Constitution Modifier. > >**At Level 5,** you gain Advantage on Opportunity Attacks against creatures that do not have all of their Hit Points. Additionally, you gain Advantage on Charisma (Intimidation) checks against creatures that have seen you reduce another creature to zero Hit Points within the last minute. > >**When you reach Level 11,** when you damage a creature that does not have all of its Hit Points, you deal additional damage equal to your Constitution Modifier. You can deal this additional damage only once per turn. > >**At Level 15,** when you reduce a hostile creature to zero Hit Points, you may immediately move up to half your Speed and make one weapon attack or cast one Cantrip that targets a hostile creature. Once you use this reaction, you can't do so again until the start of your next turn. >[!container-red]- Deafened >Your ear drums have burst, and your hearing has disappeared. >**Starting at Level 1**, you cannot hear and suffer all the usual penalties for being deafened, though your spells no longer require a verbal component. > >**At Level 5**, you gain advantage on any Wisdom (Perception) ability checks that don't involve hearing. > >**Beginning at Level 11**, you gain *Tremorsense* to a range of 30 feet. > >**Starting at Level 15**, you gain the ability to cast *Detect Thoughts* at will without expending a spell slot. >>[!spell-white]- Detect Thoughts - 2nd Level >>**2nd Level Divination** >>**Casting Time:** 1 Action >>**Range:** Self >>**Components:** Verbal, Somatic, Material* (1 Copper Piece) >>**Duration:** Concentration, up to 1 Minute >>**Attack/Save:** WIS Save >>**Damage/Effect:** Detection >> >>You activate one of the effects below. Until the spell ends, you can activate either effect as a Magic Action on your later turns. >> >>**_Sense Thoughts._** You sense the presence of thoughts within 30 feet of yourself that belong to creatures that know languages or are telepathic. You don't read the thoughts, but you know that a thinking creature is present. >> >>The spell is blocked by 1 foot of stone, dirt, or wood; 1 inch of metal; or a thin sheet of lead. >> >>**_Read Thoughts._** Target one creature you can see within 30 feet of yourself or one creature within 30 feet of yourself that you detected with the Sense Thoughts option. You learn what is most on the target's mind right now. If the target doesn't know any languages and isn't telepathic, you learn nothing. >> >>As a Magic Action on your next turn, you can try to probe deeper into the target's mind. If you probe deeper, the target makes a Wisdom Saving Throw. On a failed save, you discern the target's reasoning, emotions, and something that looms large in its mind (such as a worry, love, or hate). On a successful save, the spell ends. Either way, the target knows that you are probing into its mind, and until you shift your attention away from the target's mind, the target can take an Action on its turn to make an Intelligence (Arcana) check against your spell save DC, ending the spell on a success. >[!container-orange]- Decaying (Beasts, Blood, Life, Nature) >Your body begins slowly rotting away. >**At Level 1,** you suffer Disadvantage on all Charisma ability checks, except for Charisma (Intimidation) checks. However, you also gain advantage on all Constitution Saving Throws against disease. > >**At Level 5,** you become **Immune** to all diseases. > >**When you reach Level 11,** you gain **Immunity** to Poison damage and the **Poisoned** condition. > >**Starting at Level 15,** you gain the ability to cast *Regenerate* without expending a spell slot, though you must complete a Long Rest before using this ability again. >>[!spell-white]- Regenerate - 7th Level >>**7th Level Transmutation** >>**Casting Time:** 1 Minute >>**Range:** Touch >>**Components:** Verbal, Somatic, Material* (a prayer wheel) >>**Duration:** 1 Hour >>**Attack/Save:** None >>**Damage/Effect:** Healing >> >>A creature you touch regains 4d8 + 15 Hit Points. For the duration, the target regains 1 Hit Point at the start of each of its turns, and any severed body parts regrow after 2 minutes. >[!container-yellow]- Haunted (Death, Undeath) >You begin to be followed by malevolent spirits wherever you go, causing minor mishaps and strange occurrences (such as unexpected breezes, small objects moving on their own, and faint noises). > >**Starting at Level 1**, you cannot interact with one object or feature of the environment for free (see page 190 of the Player's Handbook) and must always spend your Action to Use an Object. Any object you drop ends up 10 feet away from you. You also learn the *Mage Hand* and *Minor Illusion* cantrips. > >**At Level 5,** you add *Levitate* and *Silent Image* to your list of known spells. > >**When you reach Level 11,** you add the *Telekinesis* spell to your list of known spells. > >**At Level 15,** you add the *Reverse Gravity* spell to your list of known spells. >None of the listed spells count against the number of spells you know. >>[!spell-red]- Mage Hand - Cantrip >>**Conjuration Cantrip** >>**Casting Time:** 1 Action >>**Range:** 30 ft. >>**Components:** Verbal, Somatic >>**Duration:** 1 Minute >>**Attack/Save:** None >>**Damage/Effect:** Utility >> >>A spectral, floating hand appears at a point you choose within range. The hand lasts for the duration. The hand vanishes if it is ever more than 30 feet away from you or if you cast this spell again. >> >>When you cast the spell, you can use the hand to manipulate an object, open an unlocked door or container, stow or retrieve an item from an open container, or pour the contents out of a vial. >> >>As a Magic Action on your later turns, you can control the hand again. As part of that Action, you can move the hand up to 30 feet. >> >>The hand can't attack, activate magic items, or carry more than 10 pounds. > >>[!spell-orange]- Minor Illusion - Cantrip >>**Illusion Cantrip** >>**Casting Time:** 1 Action >>**Range:** 30 ft. (5 ft. Cube) >>**Components:** Somatic, Material* (a bit of fleece) >>**Duration:** 1 Minute >>**Attack/Save:** None >>**Damage/Effect:** Control >> >>You create a sound or an image of an object within range that lasts for the duration. See the descriptions below for the effects of each. The illusion ends if you cast this spell again. >> >>If a creature takes a Study Action to examine the sound or image, the creature can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the illusion becomes faint to the creature. >> >>**Sound.** If you create a sound, its volume can range from a whisper to a scream. It can be your voice, someone else's voice, a lion's roar, a beating of drums, or any other sound you choose. The sound continues unabated throughout the duration, or you can make discrete sounds at different times before the spell ends. >> >>**Image.** If you create an image of an object—such as a chair, muddy footprints, or a small chest—it must be no larger than a 5-foot Cube. The image can't create sound, light, smell, or any other sensory effect. Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, since things can pass through it. > >>[!spell-yellow]- Silent Image - 1st Level >>**1st Level Illusion** >>**Casting Time:** 1 Action >>**Range:** 60 ft. (15 ft. Cube) >>**Components:** Verbal, Somatic, Material* (a bit of fleece) >>**Duration:** Concentration, up to 10 Minutes >>**Attack/Save:** None >>**Damage/Effect:** Control >> >>You create the image of an object, a creature, or some other visible phenomenon that is no larger than a 15-foot Cube. The image appears at a spot within range and lasts for the duration. The image is purely visual; it isn't accompanied by sound, smell, or other sensory effects. >> >>As a Magic Action, you can cause the image to move to any spot within range. As the image changes location, you can alter its appearance so that its movements appear natural for the image. For example, if you create an image of a creature and move it, you can alter the image so that it appears to be walking. >> >>Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, since things can pass through it. A creature that takes a Study Action to examine the image can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the creature can see through the image. > >>[!spell-green]- Levitate - 2nd Level >>**2nd Level Transmutation** >>**Casting Time:** 1 Action >>**Range:** 60 ft. >>**Components:** Verbal, Somatic, Material* (a metal spring) >>**Duration:** Concentration, up to 10 Minutes >>**Attack/Save:** CON Save >>**Damage/Effect:** Movement >> >>One creature or loose object of your choice that you can see within range rises vertically up to 20 feet and remains suspended there for the duration. The spell can levitate an object that weighs up to 500 pounds. An unwilling creature that succeeds on a Constitution saving throw is unaffected. >> >>The target can move only by pushing or pulling against a fixed object or surface within reach (such as a wall or a ceiling), which allows it to move as if it were climbing. You can change the target's altitude by up to 20 feet in either direction on your turn. If you are the target, you can move up or down as part of your move. Otherwise, you can take a Magic Action to move the target, which must remain within the spell's range. >> >>When the spell ends, the target floats gently to the ground if it is still aloft. > >>[!spell-blue]- Telekinesis - 5th Level >>**5th Level Transmutation** >>**Casting Time:** 1 Action >>**Range:** 60 ft. >>**Components:** Verbal, Somatic >>**Duration:** Concentration, up to 10 Minutes >>**Attack/Save:** STR Save >>**Damage/Effect:** Control >> >>You gain the ability to move or manipulate creatures or objects by thought. When you cast the spell and as a Magic Action on your later turns before the spell ends, you can exert your will on one creature or object that you can see within range, causing the appropriate effect below. You can affect the same target round after round or choose a new one at any time. If you switch targets, the prior target is no longer affected by the spell. >> >>**Creature.** You can try to move a Huge or smaller creature. The target must succeed on a Strength Saving Throw, or you move it up to 30 feet in any direction within the spell's range. Until the end of your next turn, the creature has the **Restrained** condition, and if you lift it into the air, it is suspended there. It falls at the end of your next turn unless you use this option on it again and it fails the save. >> >>**Object.** You can try to move a Huge or smaller object. If the object isn't being worn or carried, you automatically move it up to 30 feet in any direction within the spell's range. >> >>If the object is worn or carried by a creature, that creature must succeed on a Strength Saving Throw, or you pull the object away and move it up to 30 feet in any direction within the spell's range. >> >>You can exert fine control on objects with your telekinetic grip, such as manipulating a simple tool, opening a door or a container, stowing or retrieving an item from an open container, or pouring the contents from a vial. > >>[!spell-purp]- Reverse Gravity - 7th Level >>**7th Level Transmutation** >>**Casting Time:** 1 Action >>**Range:** 10 ft. (50 ft. Cylinder) >>**Components:** Verbal, Somatic, Material* (a lodestone and iron fillings) >>**Duration:** Concentration, up to 1 Minute >>**Attack/Save:** DEX Save >>**Damage/Effect:** Control >> >>This spell reverses gravity in a 50-foot-radius, 100-foot-high Cylinder centered on a point within range. All creatures and objects in that area that aren't anchored to the ground fall upward and reach the top of the Cylinder. A creature can make a Dexterity saving throw to grab a fixed object it can reach, thus avoiding the fall upward. >> >>If a ceiling or an anchored object is encountered in this upward fall, creatures and objects strike it just as they would during a downward fall. If an affected creature or object reaches the Cylinder's top without striking anything, it hovers there for the duration. When the spell ends, affected objects and creatures fall downward. >[!container-green]- Hobbled >One of your legs is permanently wounded, making it difficult to walk. > >**At Level 1,** your speed is reduced to 20 feet, though it is never reduced further by heavy armor or encumbrance. > >**At Level 5,** you gain Advantage on all Constitution Saving Throws. > >**When you reach Level 11,** you can choose one damage type when you finish a Short or Long Rest. You gain **Resistance** to that damage type until you choose a different one with this feature. > >**At Level 15,** you become **Immune** to **Exhaustion** and cannot gain levels of **Exhaustion.** >[!container-blue]- Obsessive (Control) >When your attention fixes on a creature, object, or purpose, abandoning it becomes nearly impossible. > >**Starting at Level 1,** whenever you roll Initiative, choose one creature you can see as your **Obsession**. Until combat ends, you have Disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures other than your **Obsession** while your **Obsession** is within 60 feet of you and you can see or hear it. However, you gain Advantage on Wisdom (Perception) and Intelligence (Investigation) checks made to find or discern information about your **Obsession**. > >**At Level 5,** when your **Obsession** moves more than 10 feet away from you, you can use your Reaction to move up to 10 feet toward it. This movement does not provoke Opportunity Attacks. > >**When you reach Level 11,** you can no longer be magically compelled to forget, ignore, or abandon the source of your fixation. Additionally, when you miss your **Obsession** with an attack roll, you gain a +1 bonus to your next attack roll against it. This bonus increases by 1 each time you miss your **Obsession,** to a maximum bonus equal to your Proficiency Bonus. This bonus resets when you hit your **Obsession** or target another creature. > >**At Level 15,** when your **Obsession** forces you to make an Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma Saving Throw, you gain Advantage on the Saving Throw. If you succeed, you may immediately move up to half your Speed toward your **Obsession** without provoking Opportunity Attacks. >[!container-purp]- Tongues >**Starting at Level 1,** in times of stress or unease, you speak in tongues. Pick one of the following languages: Abyssal, Celestial, Infernal, or Primordial. Whenever you are in combat, you can only speak and understand the selected language. This does not interfere with spellcasting, but it does apply to spells that are language-dependent. You learn the chosen language. >**At Level 5,** you learn another language of your choice. >**When you reach Level 11,** you gain the ability to understand all languages. >**At Level 15,** you gain the ability to speak and understand all languages. ### Elemental Friendship **At Level 1,** when choosing your Element, you also gain a unique version of the spell *Find Familiar*. >[!spell-pink]- Find Familiar (Apostle) >**1st Level Conjuration** >**Casting Time:** 1 Action >**Range:** 10 ft. >**Components:** Verbal, Somatic >**Duration:** Instantaneous >**Attack/Save:** None >**Damage/Effect:** Summoning > >You gain the service of a familiar, a spirit that can take any animal form of your choice. Regardless of its chosen form, your familiar's size is *tiny.* Appearing in an unoccupied space within range, the familiar has the statistics of the chosen form, though it is a Celestial instead of a Beast. Your familiar acts independently of you, but it obeys your commands. > >**Size Increase and Fly Speed.** When you reach Apostle Level 10, you may increase the size of your familiar to *small* or *medium* at will. When *small* or *medium,* you may mount your familiar for travel or combat. It gains a Walking & Fly Speed of 60 ft. > >**Telepathic Connection.** While your familiar is within 100 feet of you, you can communicate with it telepathically. Additionally, as a Bonus Action, you can see through the familiar's eyes and hear what it hears until the start of your next turn, gaining the benefits of any special senses it has. > >Finally, when you cast a spell with a range of touch, your familiar can deliver the touch. Your familiar must be within 100 feet of you, and it must take a Reaction to deliver the touch when you cast the spell. > >**Combat.** The familiar is an ally to you and your allies. It rolls its own Initiative and acts on its own turn. A familiar can't attack, but it can take other Actions as normal. > >**Disappearance of the Familiar.** When the familiar drops to 0 Hit Points, it disappears. It reappears after you cast this spell again. As a Magic Action, you can temporarily dismiss the familiar to a pocket dimension. Alternatively, you can dismiss it forever. As a Magic Action while it is temporarily dismissed, you can cause it to reappear in an unoccupied space within 30 feet of you. Whenever the familiar drops to 0 Hit Points or disappears into the pocket dimension, it leaves behind in its space anything it was wearing or carrying. > >**One Familiar Only.** You can't have more than one familiar at a time. If you cast this spell while you have a familiar, you instead cause it to adopt a new eligible form. ## Elemental Epiphanies - Level 2+ *Epiphanies* are abilities unique to the *Apostle*. As your *Apostle* Level increases, your understanding of your chosen Element grows. **At Level 2,** you gain the *Insert Epiphany 1 Here* Epiphany, and gain additional *Epiphanies* every other level (4th, 6th, 8th, etc.). The *Epiphanies* are detailed below. %% DM's Note: In general, lower-level *Epiphanies* should be fairly tame. When creating *Epiphanies 1 through 4,* I recommend creating abilities that get stronger or gain additional effects at later levels, such as dealing additional damage dice at Levels 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20; or granting additional uses of an ability at Levels 5, 10, 15, and 20. *Epiphanies 6 and 7* should generally only slightly improve as the player levels up. For *Epiphany 10,* go crazy. Characters must be Level 20 to unlock this ability, so make it something worthy of being a capstone ability. %% ### Smartest In The Room - Level 2 You become Proficient in all Intelligence based checks, and your Intelligence Score can now increase up to 30. Additionally, you learn the *War Caster* feat, listed below. >[!feat-white]- Feat: War Caster >You gain the following benefits: >- _**Ability Score Increase.**_ Increase your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 20. >- _**Concentration.**_ You have Advantage on Constitution saving throws that you make to maintain Concentration. >- _**Reactive Spell.**_ When a creature provokes an Opportunity Attack from you by leaving your reach, you can take a Reaction to cast a spell at the creature rather than making an Opportunity Attack. The spell must have a casting time of one action and must target only that creature. >- _**Somatic Components.**_ You can perform the Somatic components of spells even when you have weapons or a Shield in one or both hands. **At Level 6,** you gain advantage on all Intelligence based checks and Saving Throws, and you gain a +1 Bonus to your Intelligence. **At Level 10,** you gain Expertise on all Intelligence based checks, and the extra bonus to your Intelligence increases to +2. **At Level 14,** you _always_ roll with Advantage on these checks and Saving Throws, and the extra bonus to your Intelligence increases to +3. **At Level 18,** you now roll three dice when making Intelligence based Checks and Saving Throws, and the extra bonus to your Intelligence increases to +4. **When you become a *Harbinger* or *Seraph* and reach *Prestige Level 5*,** you automatically succeed on all Intelligence based checks and Saving Throws with a DC lower than 30. Additionally, if it is not already, your Intelligence increases to 30. ### Versatility - Level 4 You can now cast spells of any Element by decreasing the Save DC of the spell by 4, or by subtracting two damage dice from the damage dealt. **At Level 12,** the penalty for casting spells of another Element decreases, now only decreasing the Save DC of the spell by 2, or by subtracting one damage die from the damage dealt. **At Level 20,** you no longer suffer a penalty for casting spells of another Element. ### Encyclopedic - Level 6 Your total number of known spells increases by +2. At Level 12, your total number of known spells increases by an additional +3. At Level 18, your total number of known spells increases by a final +4. When you become a _Harbinger,_ you may know an unlimited number of spells. In addition, you learn the following spells at the corresponding Levels: - Rouse, Intaglio, Mind Spike, Recall - Level 6 - Voorish Sign, Tongues, Psychic Lance, Sage's Curse - Level 10 - Synaptic Static, Teleportation Circle, Contingency, Find the Path - Level 14 - Symbol, Teleport, Befuddlement, Mind Blank - Level 18 - Psychic Scream - Level 20 None of these spells count against your total number of known spells. ### The Truth and Nothing But The Truth - Level 8 You become magically adept at locating, identifying, and interrogating people, places, and objects. You may cast the _Borrowed Knowledge, Comprehend Languages, Counterspy, Detect Thoughts, Identify, Legend Lore, Locate Object, Locate Animals or Plants, Memorize, Scrying,_ and _Zone of Truth_ spells without expending a spell slot once per Long Rest. At Level 14, you may cast each of these twice per Long Rest. At Level 20, this increases to three times per Long Rest. When you become a _Harbinger,_ you may cast any of these spells at will. ### Resistant Mind - Level 10 ### Oppressive Intellect - Level 12 As part of casting a spell, you can force a creature to roll with Disadvantage on the Saving Throw for the spell. You may use this ability a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus per Long Rest. Alternatively, you may force multiple creatures to roll with Disadvantage, expending one use of this ability per creature targeted. At Level 20, you may now force a creature to fail their Saving Throw against your spells instead. ### Order of Operations - Level 14 You gain the ability to Concentrate on two Spells at once. If you attempt to cast a third Concentration spell while two are active, roll a d100. - On a roll of 01, you may Concentrate on all three spells until you choose to dispel them (or they are dispelled by another creature). - On a roll of 02-10, you may Concentrate on all three Spells until the start of your next turn, at which point you lose Concentration on the first spell cast. - On a roll of 11-89, you lose Concentration on the spell you cast first. - On a roll of 90-99, you lose Concentration on both spells you had previously cast. - On a roll of 100, you lose Concentration on both previously cast spells, and the spell you attempt to cast fails without expending the spell slot. ### Scholar’s Secrets (Feats + Boon) - Level 16 Pick two of the following feats: *Bandit Cunning, Capable, Destined, Elemental Adept, or Spell Sniper. In addition, choose one of the following *Epic Boons:* *Boon of Magic Resistance* or *Boon of Spell Recall*. #### Feats - Pick Two ##### Bandit Cunning - ***Street Smarts.*** When you are asked to make a saving throw, you may spend your reaction to add your Intelligence modifier as an additional bonus to the saving throw. You cannot use this ability again until you have completed a long rest. - ***Quick Observation.*** During combat, you can use your action to make an Intelligence ([Investigation](https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/free-rules/playing-the-game#Skills)) check against any creature you have seen fight. As long as you succeed against a DC of 10 + their challenge rating, you can learn one useful fact of your choice about the target’s combat abilities. Choose from: - one damage resistance or immunity - one condition immunity - one special ability possessed by the creature that either does damage, or prevents damage - one option under their attack, legendary, or reaction actions - one special sense they possess ##### Boon of Spell Recall _**Ability Score Increase.**_ Increase your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 30. _**Free Casting.**_ Whenever you cast a spell with a level 1–4 spell slot, roll 1d4. If the number you roll is the same as the slot’s level, the slot isn’t expended. ### Psychic Shield (Legendary Resistance) - Level 18 You gain one *Legendary Resistance* to use at will. Expended resistance regenerates upon completion of a Long Rest. ### Archmage - Level 20 Spells only require a Verbal, Somatic, _or_ Material component to cast. If you are wielding an *Artifact of Vaka,* you may simply will spells into existence. ## Beacon of the Elements - Level 3 **At Level 3,** you gain the ability to solidify purified Aether into a token of your Divinity. As an Action, you may focus a 1st-level (or your lowest level) spell slot into a mote of energy: a coin with a symbol of your choice on one side, and the Rune of your Apostolic Element on the other. When given to an ally, the beacon acts as a communication device, allowing you to send and receive messages using the coin as a focus. Additionally, you may teleport to the coin by expending a spell slot of 5th-level or higher and casting *Teleport,* targeting the coin. When cast in this way, *Teleport* has a 100% success rate. The beacon must be in the possession of another creature to use this ability. ## Elemental Fortification - Level 4+ As your body acclimates to the overwhelming power of the Apostolic Elements, it becomes more resilient. Your growing mastery over your chosen Element bolsters your body, allowing you to channel larger amounts of Aether and withstand greater harm. **At Level 4,** you gain +1 to your Constitution Score, and your Constitution Score can now exceed the maximum of 20. At higher levels, the bonus increases to **+2 (Level 8), +3 (Level 12), and +4 (Level 16).** **At Level 10,** you gain the *Tough* feat. >[!feat-blue]- Feat: Tough Your Hit Point maximum increases by an amount equal to twice your Character Level when you gain this feat. Whenever you gain a Character Level thereafter, your Hit Point maximum increases by an additional 2 Hit Points. **At Level 20,** as you reach the pinnacle of your Apostolic ability, your body becomes a focus for magic itself, increasing your Constitution Score by another +2 (for a total of +6 from your base Constitution Score). ## Elemental Mastery - Level 7+ **Beginning at Level 7,** you can create pockets of relative safety within the effects of your spells.

Additionally, when you strike an enemy with a Melee or Spell Attack while in this form, you learn any *vulnerabilities, resistances*, and *immunities* they might have. You may use this ability once per Long Rest. This increases to two uses at **Level 15,** and three uses when you become a ***Harbinger* or *Seraph.*** ## Elemental Vigor - Level 15 **At Level 15,** you gain a major feature from another class, designed to complement and enhance your chosen **main class**. Pick one of the following options: %% DM's Note: This feature is designed to **incentivize** single-class play by improving each class's main ability, while simultaneously improving each of the base class's ability usage and damage output in order to compete and keep up with Deities, Harbingers, Heralds, and Seraphim at the highest levels of play. The Vigor system is not meant to **disincentivize** multiclassing, but to alleviate the misconception that you **have** to multiclass in order to stay "meta." Don't get me wrong, these abilities are extremely strong and have the potential to catapult a "min/maxed" character even further beyond their peers, but the intention is to allow players the flexibility to play whatever class they want without being "forced" to take two levels in *Fighter* or *Sorcerer* for *Action Surge* or *Metamagic*. Change, remove, or restrict these abilities at will. Remember: it's your game, so make it how you want it! %% >[!container-purp]- Vigor of Virtuosity *(Bonus Feature: Artificer)* >**At Level 15,** you gain the Artificer's *Flash of Genius* feature.

You also retain your Skill and Saving Throw Proficiencies and use your Proficiency Bonus for them, in addition to gaining the Proficiencies of the creature. If a Skill or Saving Throw Modifier in the Beast’s stat block is higher than yours, use the one in the stat block. >>> >>>***No Spellcasting.*** You can’t cast spells, but shape-shifting doesn’t break your Concentration or otherwise interfere with a spell you’ve already cast. >>> >>>***Objects.*** Your ability to handle objects is determined by the form’s limbs rather than your own. In addition, you choose whether your equipment falls in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides whether it’s practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment based on the creature’s size and shape. Your equipment doesn’t change size or shape to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can’t wear must either fall to the ground or merge with the form. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect while you’re in that form. > >**When you become a *Harbinger* or *Seraph* and reach Prestige Level 5,** you gain the *Archdruid* ability. If you are at least *Druid Level 15,* the maximum Challenge Rating of Beast you can transform into increases to CR 8 at **Prestige Level 5** and CR 10 at **Prestige Level 10.** >>[!spell-effect]- Archdruid (Apostle Variant) >>The vitality of nature constantly blooms within you, granting you the following benefits: >>- ***Evergreen Wild Shape.*** Whenever you roll Initiative and have no uses of *Wild Shape* left, you regain one expended use of it. >>- ***Nature Magician.*** You can convert uses of *Wild Shape* into a spell slot (no Action required). Choose a number of your unexpended uses of *Wild Shape* and convert them into a single spell slot, with each use contributing 2 spell levels. For example, if you convert two uses of *Wild Shape,* you produce a level 4 spell slot. Once you use this benefit, you can't do so again until you finish a Long Rest. >[!container-orange]- Vigor of Martial Prowess *(Bonus Feature: Fighter)* >**At Level 15,** you gain the Fighter's *Action Surge* feature, and may now use it to take a Magic Action.

Your maneuver options are detailed below. >> >>**Saving Throws.** If a maneuver requires a Saving Throw, the DC equals 8 plus your Dexterity Modifier and Proficiency Bonus. >>>[!feat-black]- Risk Maneuvers >>>***Bite the Bullet.*** As a Bonus Action, you can expend one *Risk Die* to gain Temporary Hit Points equal to the number rolled on the die plus your *Apostle Level*. >>> >>>***Blindfire.*** You can use a Bonus Action and expend one *Risk Die* to gain **Blindsight** with a range of 30 feet until the end of your turn. >>> >>>***Dodge Roll.*** You can expend one *Risk Die* as a Bonus Action to move up to 15 feet and **reload** any Ranged weapon you are holding. This movement doesn’t provoke Opportunity Attacks and ignores **Difficult Terrain**. >>> >>>***Grazing Shot.*** When you miss with a ranged attack roll, you can expend one *Risk Die* (no action required) to deal damage to that creature equal to a roll of the die plus your Dexterity Modifier (minimum of 1). This damage is the same type dealt by the weapon, and the damage can be increased only by increasing the ability modifier. You can only deal this damage once per turn. >>> >>>***Maverick Spirit.*** When you fail an Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma Ability Check or Saving Throw, you can expend one *Risk Die* to add it to the roll, potentially turning it into a success. You can only use this maneuver once per turn. >>> >>>***Skin of Your Teeth.*** When a creature you can see hits you with an attack roll, you can take a Reaction and expend one *Risk Die* to dodge out of harm’s way. Roll the die and add the number rolled to your AC against this attack, potentially causing it to miss. > >**When you become a *Harbinger* or *Seraph* and reach Prestige Level 5,** you gain *Dire Gambit.* If you are at least *Gunslinger Level 15,* your total of *Risk Dice* increases 6d20. >>[!spell-effect]- Dire Gambit (Apostle Variant) >>Whenever you roll Initiative or score a Critical Hit, you regain one expended Risk Die. >[!container-green]- Vigor of the Vengeful *(Bonus Feature: Illrigger)* >**At Level 15,** you gain the Illrigger's *Baleful Interdict* and *Interdiction* features. If you are at least *Illrigger Level 10,* your *Seal* damage die increases to a d8, and you can place one additional *Seal* before resting. >>[!spell-effect]- Baleful Interdict (Apostle Variant) >>You gain the ability to censure creatures with the power of Hell. Once on your turn, you can place a magical *Seal* on a creature within 30 feet of you. You can either place this *Seal* when you hit that target with a weapon attack (no Action required), or you can use a Bonus Action to place this *Seal* on a target you can see within range. This *Seal* lasts for 1 minute or until **burned** (see “*Burning Seals*” below). A creature with one or more of your *Seal*s is referred to as an **Interdicted** creature. *Seal*s you place are **invisible** to other creatures, and when you can see an **Interdicted** creature, the *Seal*s appear to you as glowing glyphs on the creature’s body. >> >>You can only place a limited number of *Seals* before resting, and you regain all *Seals* when you finish a Short or Long Rest.

You deal this damage immediately after the triggering damage. **Burning** a *Seal* doesn’t require an Action from you, but you can’t do so while **incapacitated**. >> >>Once a *Seal* is **burned**, it immediately vanishes. The damage of each *Seal* increases by 1d6 when you reach **Level 20** (for a total of 3d6), **when you become a *Harbinger* or *Seraph* and reach Prestige Level 5** (for a total of 4d6), and when you reach **Prestige Level 10** (for a total of 5d6). >> >>***Interdict Save.*** Class features you gain later can add additional effects to your *Baleful Interdict* and require your target to make a Saving Throw to resist them. The Saving Throw DC for these effects uses your Interdict Save DC, which is calculated as follows: >> >>***Interdict Save DC = 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Charisma Modifier*** > >>[!spell-effect]- Interdiction (Apostle Variant) >>You can infuse your *Seals* with hellish magical power, enhancing their effects. >> >>**Interdict Boons Known.** You learn one *Interdict Boon* of your choice from the “*Interdict Boons*” section.

You don’t need to expend a *Seal* or take an Action to benefit from the passive *Boons* you know. All other *Boons*, such as the 2nd-level *Abating Seal Boon*, must be activated on a turn (for example, by expending a seal).

By simply speaking aloud, you can alter reality itself. > >The basic use of this spell is to duplicate any other spell of level 8 or lower. If you use it this way, you don’t need to meet any requirements to cast that spell, including costly components. The spell simply takes effect. > >Alternatively, you can create one of the following effects of your choice: > >**Object Creation.** You create one object of up to 25,000 GP in value that isn’t a magic item. The object can be no more than 300 feet in any dimension, and it appears in an unoccupied space that you can see on the ground. > >**Instant Health.** You allow yourself and up to twenty creatures that you can see to regain all Hit Points, and you end all effects on them listed in the Greater Restoration spell. > >**Resistance.** You grant up to ten creatures that you can see Resistance to one damage type that you choose. This Resistance is permanent. > >**Spell Immunity.** You grant up to ten creatures you can see immunity to a single spell or other magical effect for 8 hours. > >**Sudden Learning.** You replace one of your feats with another feat for which you are eligible. You lose all the benefits of the old feat and gain the benefits of the new one. You can’t replace a feat that is a prerequisite for any of your other feats or features. > >**Roll Redo.** You undo a single recent event by forcing a reroll of any die roll made within the last round (including your last turn). Reality reshapes itself to accommodate the new result. For example, a Wish spell could undo an ally’s failed saving throw or a foe’s Critical Hit. You can force the reroll to be made with Advantage or Disadvantage, and you choose whether to use the reroll or the original roll. > >**Reshape Reality.** You may wish for something not included in any of the other effects. To do so, state your wish to the DM as precisely as possible. The DM has great latitude in ruling what occurs in such an instance; the greater the wish, the greater the likelihood that something goes wrong. This spell might simply fail, the effect you desire might be achieved only in part, or you might suffer an unforeseen consequence as a result of how you worded the wish. For example, wishing that a villain were dead might propel you forward in time to a period when that villain is no longer alive, effectively removing you from the game. Similarly, wishing for a Legendary magic item or an Artifact might instantly transport you to the presence of the item’s current owner. If your wish is granted and its effects have consequences for a whole community, region, or world, you are likely to attract powerful foes. If your wish would affect a god, the god’s divine servants might instantly intervene to prevent it or to encourage you to craft the wish in a particular way. If your wish would undo the multiverse itself, threaten realm of Mechanicus, or affect a *Seraph* in any way, you see an image of them in your mind for a moment; they shakes their head, and your wish fails. > >The stress of casting Wish to produce any effect other than duplicating another spell weakens you. After enduring that stress, each time you cast a spell until you finish a Long Rest, you take 1d10 damage per level of that spell. This damage can’t be reduced or prevented in any way. In addition, your Strength score becomes 3 for 2d4 days. For each of those days that you spend resting and doing nothing more than light activity, your remaining recovery time decreases by 2 days. Finally, there is a 33 percent chance that you are unable to cast Wish ever again if you suffer this stress. ## Divine Durability - Prestige Level 2 You gain one additional **Legendary Resistance**, for a total of two (or three, if you are wielding a *Purified* or *Defiled* **Primordial Artifact**). ## Divine Speed - Prestige Level 3 You gain an additional Action per turn. ## Divine Aether - Prestige Level 3 You gain one additional spell slot of 6th, 7th, and 8th Level. ## Divine Resistance - Prestige Level 4 You gain Advantage on Saving Throws against all magical effects. ## Divine Domain: Rebirth of the Oracular Archive - Prestige Level 5 Once per Long Rest, invoke the pinnacle of your power as the *God* of Knowledge. As an Action and Bonus Action, you expend one half of your current Hit Points, and gain the ability to cast any spell without expending a spell slot each turn for as long as you can concentrate, up to one minute. You also gain the effect of rolling a 001 from the *Order of Operations Epiphany.* Finally, you refresh your uses of the *Oppressive Intellect Epiphany.* If another *Deity, Harbinger,* or *Seraph* casts their Divine Domain while yours is active, you begin a *Domain Contest*. Roll a d20 and add your Spellcasting Modifier. Whichever creature rolls higher succeeds on casting their Domain, while the other's is expended. # Prestige Class: Seraph of Knowledge - Vyr’eth’os *While Harbingers are the peak of Apostolic ability, standing over mortalkind as their new Gods in place of their original Deity, the Seraphim are the answer to a question posed by existence itself: What happens when divine will is merged with mortal perspective to create something more - something greater? Borne from the fusion of an Apostle with their corresponding Deity, a Seraph is the absolute pinnacle of Divinity, embodying their Element and suffusing the multiverse itself with their existence.* *Becoming a Seraph is no small feat, as it requires complete agreement and cooperation from both the Apostle and the Deity in order to succeed. This alone is a task greater than most are capable of, as many Deities have fallen before they could **ascend** alongside their Apostle. Aside from the merging itself, only one thing is required to become a Seraph - the acceptance of the heaviest task: ensuring the survival of Valakadyn, at all costs. Only three Seraphim currently exist on Valakadyn - **Syzygys, The Seraph of Beasts**, Shepherd of the Flock, The Untamed, Mother and Father of All Vakans; **Isseon Bragisson, The Seraph of Song**, The Unsung Note, Valakadyn's Muse, Watcher of the Luminous Score; and **Karnatis Seradz, The Seraph of Time**, Fate's Guardian, Keeper of Clepsydra, Warden of the Eternal Garden. Each of these figures is legendary across the multiverse, feared and respected in equal measure. Second in power only to Vaka and Vyra themselves, Seraphim are not just Gods or Deities; they are ontological concepts. Universal constants. If you seek to join their ranks, you must prove your worthiness: not just to yourself, your God, or to them, but to existence itself.* ***If*** you become a *Seraph,* you gain *Prestige Class: Seraph*. When you become a *Seraph,* you must unlock all *Prestige Class: Harbinger* abilities before you are able to unlock the following abilities at their corresponding *Prestige Levels*: ## Seraphic Might - Prestige Level 6 One Ability Score of your choice increases to 30. ## Seraphic Transformation: Dragon Form - Prestige Level 6 You gain the ability to take on the *True Form* of a *Deity: a Greatwyrm.* This transformation affects you down to your very soul, enabling you to embody and wield the power of your Element with unmatched skill. As an Action, you may assume this form, gaining the stats and abilities of the *Greatwyrm* that corresponds to your Element. Additionally, this transformation automatically takes hold when you would drop below zero Hit Points for the first time, effectively giving you a “second phase” in combat. If you are within your *Divine Resonance,* this transformation replaces the ***Immortality In Action*** feature. If you choose to transform as an Action, the automatic transformation effect is disabled. When you drop to zero Hit Points while in this form, you return to your humanoid form with half of your total Hit Points, regardless of your Hit Point total when you entered this transformation. Consult the table below to determine which type of *Greatwyrm* you are capable of transforming into. ## Seraphic Durability - Prestige Level 7 You gain an additional **Legendary Resistance**, for a total of three (or four, if you are wielding a *Purified* or *Defiled* **Primordial Artifact**). ## Seraphic Speed - Prestige Level 8 You gain one *Legendary Action,* which you can take at the end of another creature's turn during Initiative. You also gain an additional Reaction. ## Seraphic Resistance - Prestige Level 9 You become **Resistant** to all damage except that which you are **Vulnerable** to. You **Reflect** and **Absorb** your Element. ## Seraphic Aether - Prestige Level 10 You gain the ability to control your Element to unparalleled degree. You learn all spells relating to your Element. Outside of combat, you may cast spells without expending spell slots. In combat, you gain additional 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 9th-level spell slots. Additionally, you now roll with Advantage when you enter a *Domain Contest* with another *Deity, Harbinger* or *Seraph*. ## Seraphic Will - Prestige Level 10 You gain the ability to cast the spell *Wish* once per day. You cannot lose the ability to cast this spell. ## Seraphic Transformation: Titan Form - Prestige Level 10 The pinnacle of *Godhood.* As an Action, you may activate this form, growing in size until you dwarf everything around you. While transformed, your size increases to *Titanic*, your AC is reduced to 1, and your Maximum Hit Points and damage dealt are multiplied by five. Additionally, you gain the effects of your *Divine Resonance*. You may choose to end this transformation as an Action. When you choose to end this transformation, or the first time you would drop below zero Hit Points while in this form, your size, AC, Maximum Hit Points, and damage dealt return to normal, and you heal half of your Maximum Hit Points. Due to the extreme amount of Aether channeled through your body in this form, you gain two levels of **Exhaustion** and three Levels of **Elemental Dissonance.** The **Dissonance** gained from ending this transformation decreases by one level at the end of each of your subsequent turns. Once you activate this transformation, you may not do so again until you have completed a Long Rest.
