Shaman

Mist floods the tent and wisps dance on the ceiling as a wizened orc raises one hand from the body in front of him, calling on his ancestors to lend him their strength and heal the wounded soldier.

A small spectral fox dashes ahead of the young elf, prancing and jumping around an inconspicuous patch of snow on the path, warning the elf just in time of the hidden trap.

When a creature dies, it is not always the case that their spirit is able to move on. Instead some linger. Often these spirits track down those who can perceive them so that they might find peace or carry out vengeful actions.

Shamans are individuals either blessed or cursed to be capable of perceiving those entities and harnessing their power. This perception most often comes in the form of visions, dreams and whispers from the spirits themselves.

Wisdom is a common trait found in shamans. Boasting in some cases multiple lifetimes of experiences, they are often sought out as advisers or spiritual guides.

Spirituality

At 3rd level, you choose the Spirituality, that best represents the discipline you use to channel spirits.

Your Spirituality grants you features at 3rd level, and again when you reach 6th, 10th, and 14th level in this class..

Spirituality Spells

Each Spirituality has a list of spells that you learn at the Shaman levels noted in the Spirituality description. These Spirituality Spells count as Shaman spells for you, but they do not count against your total number of Spells Known.

• Curse Binder
• Elementalist
• Far Seer
• Spirit Guide
• Spirit Warrior
• Wild Heart
• Witch Doctor
• Wyrmbound

While most Shamans use the power of spirits to work magics and heal the sick, some twist this connection, binding sinister spirits to their foes. Known as Curse Binders, these Shamans wield the sinister spiritual power present in the world. Often apprentices of hags or entities from the Enfaerun, they use ancient techniques to afflict their foes with hexes and curses.

Curse Binder Spells

3rd-level Curse Binder feature When you gain a level in this class, you can replace one spell from this feature with an enchantment or necromancy spell of the same level from the Shaman or Warlock spell list.

Shaman Level	Spells
3rd	blindness/deafness, ray of enfeeblement
5th	bestow curse, vampiric touch
7th	blight, phantasmal killer
9th	contagion, enervation

Evil Eye

3rd-level Curse Binder feature You can curse with a glance. As a reaction, when a creature you can see within 60 feet makes an ability check, attack roll, or saving throw, you can impose disadvantage on its roll. You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Totemic Curse

3rd-level Curse Binder feature You bind spirits of pain, suffering, and despair to your will, using them to inflict curses upon your enemies. When a creature fails its saving throw against Totemic Assault, you can inflict it with one of the following conditions of your choice until the start of your next turn:

• Its speed is reduced by a total number of feet equal to 5 times your Wisdom modifier.
• It cannot regain hit points, and when it takes damage it takes an additional 1d4 necrotic damage.
• Whenever it makes an ability check or an attack roll, it must subtract your Wisdom modifier from the result of its roll.

The conditions inflicted by this feature can be ended early with lesser restoration or remove curse. The afflicted creature can repeat the saving throw as an action on its turn, ending the effect on a success.

Sinister Spellcasting

6th-level Curse Binder feature Sinister spirits empower your magic. You gain the Totem of Wrath, but it doesn’t count against your number of Totems Known. If you already know this Totem, you learn another Totem of your choice for which you meet the prerequisites.

Shamanistic Ward

10th-level Curse Binder feature Sinister spirits ward you against elemental assaults. At the end of each long rest, choose either acid, cold, fire, lightning, necrotic, poison, psychic, radiant, or thunder. Until the end of your next long rest, you are resistant to that damage. When you take damage of a type that you resist, you can use Totemic Assault as a reaction, targeting your attacker.

Foul Conjuration

14th-level Curse Binder feature You have reached the apex of sinister shamanism, the ability to create corporeal bodies for the spirits you conjure. As an action on your turn, you can cast create undead at 6th-level, without expending a spell slot or the material components. Once you cast create undead in this way, you must finish a long rest before you can cast it in this way again.

Some Shamans gain their abilities while living near places of raw elemental power: active volcanoes, amongst the sands of blazing deserts, atop frigid mountain peaks, or on the stormy coasts of the ocean. Known as Elementalists, these Shamans learn to draw out the most destructive spirits of nature and wield them to devastating effect against their foes. Whether they master a single element or learn to wield the powers of air, earth, flame, and water, Elementalists are among the most powerful channelers of the four elements.

Elemental Mastery

3rd-level Elementalist feature The primordial spirits of nature have taught you the secrets of elemental mastery. Choose one of the following elements to master: Air, Earth, Fire, or Water. This choice grants you both an affinity with, and resistance to, the type of damage associated with that element, as shown on the table below:

Element	Air	Earth	Fire	Water
Damage	thunder	bludgeoning	fire	cold

In addition, your mastery over the elements can empower the spirits of your Totemic Assault. When you use Totemic Assault, you can empower it with one of the elements that you have mastered, granting it the corresponding benefits:Air. Your Totemic Assault deals thunder damage in place of necrotic damage, and on a failed save, a Large or smaller creature is moved 5 feet in a direction of your choice. Earth. Your Totemic Assault deals magical bludgeoning damage in place of necrotic damage, and on a failed save, a Large or smaller creature is knocked prone in its space. Fire. Your Totemic Assault deals fire damage in place of necrotic damage, and the damage dice you roll for Totemic Assault become d12s (instead of the normal d8s). Water. Your Totemic Assault deals cold damage in place of necrotic damage, and when you use Totemic Assault you can target two creatures that are within 5 feet of each other.

Elementalist Spells

3rd-level Elementalist feature You gain the Spirituality Spells from the tables below that correspond to any of the four elements you have mastered. When you gain a level in this class, you can replace one spell from this feature with another spell of the same level from any spell list that deals only the damage type of its element. Alternatively, you can replace the spell with another spell of a similar elemental theme at the discretion of your GM.

Greater Mastery

6th-level Elementalist feature The power you draw from the elemental spirits has grown. You gain one of the following benefits of your choice:

• You master another element of your choice, gaining all of the associated benefits from previous features. You cannot master an element more than once.
• You can cast one Elementalist Spell at the level of your Primal Magic spell slots, without expending a spell slot. Once you do so, you must finish a long rest before you can cast an Elementalist spell in this way again.

Also, when you use a Shaman spell or feature that deals the damage of an element you have mastered, you add your Wisdom modifier to the damage if you don’t do so already.

Shaman Level	Air Spells	Earth Spells	Fire Spells	Water Spells
3rd	thunderwave, shatter	earth tremor XGtE earthen grasp XGtE	burning hands flaming sphere	ice knife XGtE snowball swarm XGtE
5th	lightning bolt	erupting earth XGtE	fireball	tidal wave XGtE
7th	storm sphere XGtE	stone shape	wall of fire	ice storm

Primal Conduit

• You master another element of your choice, gaining all of the associated benefits from previous features. You cannot master an element more than once.
• You can cast one Elementalist Spell at the level of your Primal Magic spell slots, without expending a spell slot. Once you do so, you must finish a long rest before you can cast an Elementalist spell in this way again. If you chose this feature previously you can cast two spells in this way.

Additionally, whenever you cast a Shaman spell of 1st-level or higher that deals the damage type of any element you have mastered, you gain temporary hit points equal to the level of the spell slot you expended + your Wisdom modifier.

Elemental Ascension

14th-level Elementalist feature You wield the raw elemental power of the most destructive aspects of nature. You gain one of the following benefits:

• You master another element of your choice, gaining all of the associated benefits from previous features. You cannot master an element more than once.
• Choose an element that you have mastered, and you learn the corresponding investiture spell from Xanathar’s Guide to Everything: Air (wind), Earth (stone), Fire (flame), Water (ice). The spell counts as a Shaman spell for you, but does not count against your number of Spells Known. Once per long rest, you can cast it without expending a spell slot.
• If you have mastered only one element, you gain all the benefits of the Greater Totem Spirit of the element: Air (Storm), Earth (Fissure), Fire (Inferno), or Water (Sea). This Greater Totem Spirit doesn’t count against the total number of Greater Totem Spirits you can have bound at one time.

Many Shamans initially discover their connection to the spirit world when they perform rituals to divine the future. Should these amateur spiritualists pursue this connection they learn to channel spirits as a Far Seer, a Shaman who can glimpse both past and future, and use spiritual power to alter fate.

Source: The Shaman

Far Seer Spells

3rd-level Far Seer feature When you gain a level in this class, you can replace one spell from this feature with either a divination spell or a spell with the ritual tag, of the same level from any class spell list.

Shaman Level	Spells
3rd	augury, detect thoughts
5th	clairvoyance, tongues
7th	arcane eye, divination
9th	contact other plane, scrying

Spirits of Fate

3rd-level Far Seer feature You have learned to bind minor spirits of Fate and unleash them to influence the world around you in minor ways. Each time you finish a short or long rest, roll two d4s and record the numbers you rolled. When you or a creature you can see within 60 feet makes an ability check, attack roll, or saving throw, you can use your reaction to apply one of these Fate rolls to the triggering roll, adding or subtracting it from the result. You can use this reaction after you know the result of the roll, but before you know if the roll succeeds or fails. Each of your Fate rolls can be used only once. When you finish a short or long rest, you lose any unused Fate rolls. At certain levels in this class, the dice you roll for theseFate rolls increase in size: at 6th level (d6s), at 10th level (d8s), and finally at 14th level (d12s).

Totemic Ritualist

3rd-level Far Seer feature You can draw on the power within your Totems to enhance your ritual magic. When you cast the ritual version of a spell, you can use a Totem in place of the material components of that spell. When you do, the ritual version of that spell only takes 1 additional minute to cast instead of 10 minutes. Also, when you cast a divination spell and use a Totem as your spellcasting focus, it can replace material components with a gold value so long as they are not consumed.

Ascended Awareness

6th-level Far Seer feature The spirits of Fate constantly whisper their secrets to you. You cannot be surprised while you are conscious, and you gain a bonus to your initiative rolls equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of +1), so long as you are conscious.

Certain Fate

10th-level Far Seer feature The future is fickle and constantly changing, but once you glimpse something, it nearly always comes to pass. When you use your reaction to add a Fate die to a roll and it does not change the outcome of that roll, the die is not expended.

Tip the Scales

14th-level Far Seer feature You can effect Fate in ways that rival the greatest spirits of the multiverse, if only for a moment. When a creature you can see within 60 feet finishes its turn, you can use your reaction to expend one of your Fate dice, and force that creature to repeat its turn exactly as it did before. Anything the creature did on that turn is undone, and it must repeat its turn exactly, taking the same exact course of action, but any dice rolled on that turn are rolled again, and all creatures must use the new results.

Unlike most Shamans who bind themselves to many spirits,   those who become Spirit Guides form a bond with a single   powerful spirit known as a Geist. These unique spirits can    grow in power alongside the Shaman they are bound to,   and can even wield the power of other spirits with Totems.

Spirit Guide Spells

3rd-level Spirit Guide feature When you gain a level in this class, you can replace one spell from this feature with an abjuration or divination spell of the same level from either the Cleric or Shaman spell list.

7th	death ward, guardian of faith
9th	arcane hand, wall of light XGtE

Totemic Bond

3rd-level Spirit Guide feature You have bound your soul with a unique spirit known as a Geist. You determine its spectral appearance, but the choice has no effect on its game statistics. Your Geist is friendly to you and your allies, and it obeys your commands. It uses the Geist stat block on the following page, its abilities use your Totemic Save DC, and it uses your proficiency bonus (PB). In combat, the Geist acts during your turn. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but it only takes the Dodge action unless you use a bonus action to command it to take one of the actions listed in its stat block, or another action. At the end of a long rest, you can choose for any Totems you know to be bound to your Geist in place of you. You lose any benefits from those Totems and the Geist gains them. If your Geist is reduced to 0 hit points it is banished back to the Outer Planes. As an action, you can expend a Primal Magic spell slot to conjure the Geist in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you, restoring it to its full hit points. At the end of each long rest the Geist is restored to full hit points, and reappears next to you if it had been banished.

Soul Bond

10th-level Spirit Guide feature The bond between kindred soul and spirit empowers your resolve. When a creature you can see hits you with an attack, and the Geist is within 30 feet of you, you can use a reaction to instantly switch places with the Geist, causing it to become the target of the triggering attack in your place. The Geist can also use this same reaction when it is hit by an attack to instantly switch places with you.

Ghastly Strikes

Whenever you command the Geist to use its Spectral Touch, it can use its Spectral Touch action twice.

Often raised by, or closely with, wild beasts, Shamans known as Wild Hearts develop an intense spiritual connection with the wild.

It uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. You determine the appearance of your Great Beast, but this has no effect on its abilities.

• The Great Beast gains a number of Bestial Traits from the list at the end of this Spirituality equal to the level of the spell slot expended to transform.

• You can’t cast spells, and your ability to take actions is limited to the capabilities of your Spirit Dragon form. Transforming doesn’t break your concentration on spells or prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell.
• You retain the benefit of features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if the Spirit Dragon is capable of doing so, including your Totems and Totemic Assault. However, you cannot use any of your special senses unless the Spirit Dragon also has that sense.
• Any equipment you are wearing or carrying merges into your Spirit Dragon form. Equipment that merges with the Spirit Dragon form has no effect while transformed.

Your transformation lasts for 1 minute, and it ends early if you use a bonus action to revert to your normal form. Once you transform you must finish a short or long rest before you can do so again. When you have no uses left, you can expend a Primal Magic spell slot to transform again.

Actions

Spectral Slash. Melee Weapon Attack: your Shaman spell attack modifier to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 1d4 +4 +PB slashing + 1d4 necrotic damage. Spirit Breath. The Spirit Dragon can expend a Primal Magic spell slot to exhale pure spiritual energy in a 30 ft. cone, forcing creatures in that area to make a Dexterity saving throw. They take necrotic damage equal to twice the damage of your Totemic Assault on a failed save, and half as much on a success.

Savage Strikes

6th-level Wyrmbound feature The ferocity of your draconic spirit has grown. When you are in Spirit Dragon form and you take the Spectral Slash action, you can make two Spectral Slash attacks. Also, your attacks in Spirit Dragon form also count as magical for overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

Serpentine Speed

10th-level Wyrmbound feature Your movements are enhanced by the power of your draconic spirit. You can take the Dash action as a bonus action on your turn, and when you do so, all opportunity attacks against you have disadvantage until the end of your current turn. Moreover, when you transform into your Spirit Dragon form, you can choose to become Large in size, causing your Spirit Dragon form to double in length, much like a snake.

Ascended Conduit

14th-level Wyrmbound feature Your physical form can handle the full might of your draconic spirit. When you are in Spirit Dragon form you retain your ability to cast spells as if you were in your normal form. In addition, Your Spirit Dragon’s Spirit Breath no longer requires you to expend a Primal Magic spell slot in order to use it. Instead, once you use it, you roll a d6 at the start of each of your turns. On a roll of 5 or 6, you regain the use of the Spirit Dragon’s Spirit Breath ability.
