Wizard schools, talents and spells (3pp)

Wizard Class Features (Addition)

Cloud Spells

Cloud spells create a fog in the nearby area. These spells usually attack a number of nearby enemies and have some effect on allies engaged with these targets.

After the fog is created, non-engaged creatures can move out of it as a move action. Engaged creatures must succeed at a disengage check to do so.

At the start of your next turn after casting the spell, make a normal save (11+) to check whether the cloud persists. This is not an action. If it persists, any target that was hit and is still in the cloud suffers the effect again, and you make another save at the start of the following turn. If the save fails, the spell ends.

At the GM’s discretion, clouds move naturally with the terrain. They will roll down slopes and disperse in strong winds.

Specialist Wizard (Class Variant)

Source DATP

This is a class variant inspired by the classic wizard school specialist, who gains extra power in one school, at the cost of losing access to spells of another school.

The variant replaces two class features of the wizard, Overworld Advantage and Utility Spell, with a new one: School Specialization.

School Specialization

Choose one of seven wizard schools: Abjuration, Conjuration, Divination, Enchantment, Evocation, Illusion, or Transmutation as your specialist school.

Specialist Advantage

Special: This replaces Overworld Advantage.

Daily spells of your chosen school become recharge 16+ after battle. They still count as daily spells for abilities that trigger off daily spells.

Champion Feat Gain a +1 bonus to recharge rolls for spells of your school.

Epic Feat The bonus to recharge rolls is now equal to your Intelligence modifier.

Specialist Spell Slot

When you choose spells during a full heal-up, you can declare one (and only one) of your spell slots as your specialist school slot. You don’t choose a spell for that slot after the full heal-up, but at the time of casting the spell. You can choose any normal spell or utility spell that belongs to your specialist school.

If the spell you cast is a recharge spell, make a recharge roll at the end of the battle to regain the spell slot, not the particular spell. If the spell you cast is once per battle, cyclic, or at-will, you cast the spell normally during the battle, then regain the spell slot at the end of the battle.

Special: This replaces access to the Core Book wizard’s utility spell slot. You can still cast utility spells, but you prepare them individually like your other spells.

Barred School

As a specialist wizard, choose one of the seven wizard schools Abjuration, Conjuration, Divination, Enchantment, Evocation, Illusion, or Transmutation as your barred school. You cannot cast spells from that school.

Wizard Talents

Arcane Archaeologist

Source DATP

You gain 5 points in a background that covers knowledge of ancient civilizations, locating treasure sites, and identifying what you find. You are familiar enough with ancient writing systems that you can decipher most writings you find on maps, dungeon walls, and item inscriptions.

Once per battle or scene, as a move action, you can pull off a stunt that you have learned when exploring dangerous ruins, things like climbing slippery surfaces, jumping narrow ledges, and avoiding massive rolling boulders. Describe how you are using a mixture of athletic training and arcane tricks to avoid the danger. Usually, you can pull off the stunt without any skill check, but the GM can require a roll for absolutely outlandish tricks.

Adventurer Feat You gain the rogue’s Trap Sense class feature.

Champion Feat Add your Intelligence modifier to magic item power recharge rolls for items you wield. This represents your familiarity with ancient artifacts.

Epic Feat You have advantage on saves against effects that were caused by magic items and traps.

Battle Mage

Source DPAS

You can use light and heavy one-handed melee weapons without attack penalty, and your base AC in light armor is increased to 12.

Starting from 3^rd level, you can replace a wizard spell with a <a href="http://www.13thagesrd.com/classes/3^rd-party-classes/swordmage”>swordmage spell two levels lower.

Adventurer Feat Increase your recovery dice to d8.

Champion Feat When you wield a sword (or other one-handed melee weapon) in one hand and a wand in the other, you gain the benefit of two-weapon fighting. Reroll any natural 2s on the attack roll with both melee attacks and spells.

Epic Feat After casting a Wizard spell, your next melee attack (hit or miss) deals extra damage equal to the spell’s level, of an element related to the spell.

Beguiler

Source DATP

When you cast a spell that targets MD, choose one of the following benefits:

• If the spell deals damage, deal extra damage equal to your Charisma modifier (x2 at 5^th level; x3 at 8th) to each target you hit.
• Increase the difficulty for the target’s first save against the spell by your Charisma modifier. (A natural roll of 18+ always saves, however.)
• Increase the hit point limit for the creatures you can affect by 5 times your level if the spell has one target, and twice your level if it has multiple targets.

Adventurer Feat You gain 3 points toward a background that represents performance skills or mental manipulation.

Champion Feat Choose a class. You can switch out a wizard spell for a spell from the chosen class at a -2 level penalty, as long as that spell targets MD.

Epic Feat Once per battle, when the escalation die is 3+, you can gain all three of the beguiler benefits with one spell.

Bladesinger

Source DATP

You can use light and heavy one-handed melee weapons without attack penalty, and if the weapon is a true magic item, you can use it as an implement for wizard spells. If you are multiclassed, you are considered a “skillful warrior” for these weapons and don’t suffer a reduced damage die with them.

You are also trained in light armors, and increase your base AC with them to 12.

However, the focus on martial training has reduced your time to study the arcane arts, and you have one fewer wizard spell slots of your highest level available.

Adventurer Feat When you wield a one-handed blade weapon, your ranged spells do not provoke opportunity attacks.

Champion Feat After casting an arcane spell, your next hit or miss with a melee weapon attack deals extra damage equal to the spell level. This bonus is not cumulative, only use the highest bonus.

Epic Feat As a quick action, you can enter a defensive stance that gives you a +1 bonus to AC until the end of your next turn, and a +1 bonus to the first melee attack on your next turn.

Deep Specialization

Source DATP

Special: You must be a specialist wizard. You cannot take both this talent and Dual Specialization.

When you prepare your specialist spell slot, you can use it to cast two spells instead of one.

Champion Feat When you take a quick rest, and you don’t have any spells left except at-will spells, you can regain your specialist school bonus spell slot. Take a cumulative -1 penalty to PD and MD from exhaustion until your next full heal-up.

Epic Feat Gain the lowest tier feat of all spells of your specialist school for free.

Dual Specialization

Source DATP

Special: You must be a specialist wizard. You cannot take both this talent and Deep Specialization.

You must also choose two barred schools.

Adventurer Feat Before casting a spell of one specialist school, you can spend a quick action to add a small effect from your other specialist school. For example, you could use illusion to make an evocation spell seem scarier and more dangerous, or add an abjuration effect to a summoned monster to shore up its defenses.

Champion Feat Gain the adventurer tier feat of all spells from both of your specialist schools.

Hedge Wizard

Source DATP

After each full heal-up, roll a d8.

7. You reach into the past. Choose one spell that you had not expended before the heal-up and gain it as a bonus spell. If you have none, reroll.
8. The stars are aligned for one spell of your choice. You can reroll one of your attack rolls with that spell before your next full heal-up.

Adventurer Feat When casting a spell as a ritual, you can expend a recovery without healing to gain advantage on the check. Describe how your ritual is physically exhausting, through dance, sweating, loss of blood, etc.

Champion Feat Roll twice on the table and choose one of the results.

Epic Feat Get a spell from a different spellcasting class as a bonus spell, at your class level minus 2. This represents your study of primal wizardry that does not conform to modern limitations.

Source DATP

Due to your pure wizard blood, combined with the excellent training you have enjoyed, you gain a bonus spell slot at the highest level you can cast. However, you also have one less recovery (usually 7).

Adventurer Feat You have met many wizards, which gives you an easy read on them. When meeting an arcane spellcaster for the first time, ask one question about them, which the GM will answer truthfully. Typical questions are their school specialization, their icon affiliation, or the spell signature that marks their spells.

Champion Feat You gain a +1 bonus to all defenses against spells and magical attacks.

Sheltered Apprentice

Source DATP

Intelligence-based skill checks are one step easier (-5) for you. This includes checks about niche academics and esoteric lore, but also arcane knowledge and skill checks required for ritual casting. Once per day, you can perform a stunt to remember an otherwise useless fact from an obscure tome you’ve read. This is allows you to automatically succeed on what would otherwise be a ridiculously hard task. The GM should encourage the player to make up pieces of lore for the game world with this talent.

However, you also choose one ability score where all skill checks are one step more difficult. You’re either frail (Strength), clumsy (Dexterity), sickly (Constitution), lacking in empathy (Wisdom) or socially awkward (Charisma).

Adventurer Feat Choose a very narrowly defined scholarly background, and gain one point in it per word in the name, ignoring trivial words like “the”, for up to 7 points. Examples include the revised taxonomy of butterflies in the Eldeen Reaches, cultural implications of the seasonal migration patterns of Koru Behemoths, or tribal animism and worship among Iron Sea merfolk.

Champion Feat When you spend a feat to improve a wizard spell, you also gain the benefits of any other feat of that spell up to your current tier.

Epic Feat Once per day, you can perform an arcane ritual without expending a spell.

Spellslinger

Creatures you summon have one recovery. When healed, they use your recovery roll to determine how many hit points they regain. They can use the rally action to heal, or be healed using healing spells and potions.

Adventurer Feat Your summoned creatures gain a +1 bonus to all saves.

Champion Feat Your summoned creatures have a second recovery.

Epic Feat Your summoned creatures gain a +1 bonus to all defenses.

Mustache

Source DATP

Nascent Magic Aura

You summon your familiar back to your shoulder, or a location next to you, from up to a few hundred feet distance.

1st Level Utility Spells

Animated Image

Source DATP

Close-quarters spell; Daily; Illusion

Effect: Create a two-dimensional illusion, up to the size of a large painting, with an animated effect such as eyes that follow the viewer, falling snow or a change of seasons. Make a skill check to determine the artistic value of the image. The image lasts about 10 minutes.

3^rd level spell: The spell lasts for 1 hour.

5^th level spell: The spell lasts for 1 day.

Adventurer Feat You can program the image to appear and perform a predetermined movement when a defined trigger occurs, such as when a person steps through a door.

Continual Light

Source DATP

Close-quarters spell; Daily; Evocation

Effect: An object you touch starts emitting light as bright as a torch. The light stays at this brightness for a day, then it slowly fades over the next few days.

Darkvision

Source DATP

Close-quarters spell; Daily; Divination

Target: One creature per spell level 

Effect: The target can see perfectly in the dark for 10 minutes per spell level.

Familiar’s Eyes

Source DATP

Close-quarters spell; Daily; Divination

Special: This spell requires the Wizard’s Familiar talent.

Effect: For the next 1d6 x 10 minutes, you can perceive the world through your familiar’s eyes and senses. While using the spell, you are effectively blind and deaf as it dulls your own senses.

Identify

Source DATP

Close-quarters spell; Daily; Divination

Effect: Gain a +10 bonus to a skill check to identify the magic properties of an item or a persistent magical effect.

Permanent Cantrip

Source DATP

Close-quarters spell; Daily; Transmutation

Effect: This spell has the effect of any wizard cantrip of your choice, except that the effect is ongoing for days, if not months, if you don’t dismiss it. Since it’s a minor magical effect, other spellcasters can dispel it with a normal-difficulty skill check.

Recall Memory

Source DATP

Close quarters spell; Daily; Divination

Target: You or a nearby willing creature

Effect: You help the target remember something. They can repeat a failed knowledge check with a +5 bonus.

Scribe Scroll

Source DATP

Close-quarters spell; Daily; Enchantment

Effect: Inscribe any spell you have prepared for the day onto a parchment. You can cast the spell from the scroll once at a later date, which uses up the scroll.

Choose the level of the spell when you create the scroll, between the lowest level it can be learned at and the highest you can cast.

Creating a scroll takes roughly 10 minutes per spell level and expends your use of that spell for the day, even for spells other than daily spells. It requires material components that cost about 50 gp per level of the spell.

The finished scroll can be used by others, but doing so requires an Intelligence-based skill check with a DC of 15 + the spell’s level (10 + level for other wizards). On a natural even failure, nothing happens, but on a natural odd failure, the magic gets triggered in an unintended, possibly disastrous way, and the scroll is destroyed.

Adventurer Feat Your scrolls are easier to use by other people, and only require a DC of 10 + level to cast (5 + level for other wizards).

Summon Small Animals

Source DATP

Close-quarters spell; Daily; Conjuration

Effect: You summon 1d6 small animals, such as cats, rabbits, or doves. The animals are purely magical creations. They will act rather confused and disappear after 1d6 minutes.

3^rd level spell: You can control the animals with a quick action each turn, and you can have them perform small tricks an animal of that type would be capable of.

Talking Pages

Source DATP

Close-quarters spell; Daily; Divination

Target: One book you touch

Effect: You absorb the knowledge contained in a piece of writing up to the size of a book. A short touch will teach you the gist of it, whereas a few minutes of concentration are enough to gain an understanding of its contents. A full day is required if you want to achieve a word-by-word memorization. You don’t need to know the language of the writing. This spell can also decipher non-magical code.

Tongues

Source DATP

Close-quarters spell; Daily; Divination

Effect: You gain the ability to speak and understand the language of any intelligent creature. You can only speak one language at a time. Tongues does not enable you to communicate with creatures that don’t have a language. You can make yourself understood as far as your voice carries. The effect lasts for 1d6 x 10 minutes.

5^th level spell: The effect lasts for 1d6 hours.

Adventurer Feat You can grant the ability to another creature by touch.

Treasure-bearing Disc

5^th level spell: The disc lasts for 1d6 hours.

Unseen Servant

Source DATP

Close-quarters spell; Daily; Conjuration

Effect: You summon a shimmering, ghost-like valet to step and fetch, open doors and hold chairs, as well as to clean and mend at your command. The servant is about as strong as an average human.

5^th level spell: The servant persists for 1d6 hours.

3rd Level Utility Spells

Arcane Cypher

Source DATP

Arcane Eye

Source 13WCS

Ranged spell

Daily

Effect: You create a glowing eyeball one inch in diameter made of raw arcane energy that can float up to a typical far-away distance from you in any direction (but no more than a city block’s distance or so). It works like a normal human eyeball and is dependant upon light to process images. Anything the eye can see, you can also. It moves at average walking speed for your species on your mental command—you can command it to stop, slow down, change direction, or return to you as desired. The eye persists for 1 minute per level; it has an AC and PD of 10 and is immediately destroyed if it takes any amount of damage.

5^th level spell: The arcane eye can now see in total darkness.

7^th level spell: The eye’s form is blurred and translucent, making it invisible to Champion-tier or lower creatures that can’t normally see invisible things.

The hut is sturdy enough to survive most environmental effects, although it can be damaged and ultimately destroyed by extreme conditions such as lava or a direct lightning strike. The outer appearance of the hut is up to you. On the inside, the hut provides a comfortable temperature and breathable air. The effect lasts for up to 8 hours.

Magic Mouth

Source DATP

Close-quarters spell; Daily; Illusion

Effect: You place an enchanted mouth on an object which suddenly appears when a specified event occurs. The mouth speaks a message of up to 25 words as specified by you. The message is entirely mundane and cannot create spell effects. The event that triggers the message can be as simple or as complicated as you like, but the conditions are limited to what can be perceived by normal means. No mind reading, detecting invisible creatures and the like. The spell remains in effect for one day per spell level.

See Invisible

Source DATP

Close-quarters spell; Daily; Quick action; Divination

Effect: You can see invisible creatures normally until the end of the battle or scene.

5^th level spell: The effect lasts for up to an hour.

7^th level spell: The effect lasts for up to eight hours.

5th Level Utility Spells

Arcane Eye

Source DATP

Close-quarters spell; Daily; Divination

Effect: You create an invisible floating eye that sends you visual information. The eye floats at walking speed, and you can send it out of your line of sight. Through the eye, you can see as if through your own eyes. It cannot pass through walls, but it can pass through small holes and openings. The eye persists for 1d6 x 10 minutes.

During combat, it’s a quick action to direct the eye and receive visual imagery. If you don’t use the quick action, the eye remains inert.

7^th level spell: The effect lasts for 1d6 hours.

Champion Feat You can cast spells through the eye at a -2 penalty to the attack.

Legend Lore

Source DATP

Ranged spell; Daily; Divination

Effect: This divination reveals some information about a legendary person, place, or item. Examples include a current or former icon, their stronghold, or a major artifact. The closer you are physically to the target, the more information can be gained by the spell. If you are in the target location, or have the object within reach, the spell is likely to provide vivid imagery of key scenes in its history. If the target is far away, or just a myth that may not be real at all, the spell will conjure just very hazy fragments of information.

Magical Disjunction

Source DATP

Ranged spell; Daily; Abjuration

Effect: You destroy a permanent magical effect. If you target a true magic item, it is permanently returned into its mundane state. A magical trap is permanently disarmed. Epic-level items are immune to this spell.

9^th level spell: You can now destroy epic-level effects, but artifacts of iconic power are still immune to the spell.

Passwall

Source DATP

Ranged spell; Daily; Transmutation

Effect: You open a magical passage through a wall that allows you, and any creature designated by you, to pass through. The passage is open for 1d6 minutes, if you do not end the spell earlier. The passage opens straight on the opposite side, so make sure there is safe terrain to step into.

Stone to Flesh

Source DATP

Ranged spell; Daily; Transmutation

Effect: This spell reverses a petrification effect, such as from a medusa’s gaze. You can also use it to change a stone statue into an uncanny corpse (and make the proud artist quite angry).

Wall of Stone 

Source 13WCS

Ranged spell

Daily

Effect: Sometimes what you really need is a big slab of stone. You can create a stone wall 3 inches thick and smooth as polished marble out of thin air, plastering an area of up to about 100 square feet with the stuff. It lasts for an hour or until it’s broken down by an assailant. Mechanically, this can be used to cut off two nearby areas you are exploring (or fighting in) if there’s a gap or doorway to be filled. Adventurer tier creatures cannot break through or climb it, no matter how hard they try. Each round that a champion tier creature attempts to break through or climb over the wall requires the caster to resist with a DC 25 Intelligence check (applying a related background). A total of three failed checks means the wall is successfully breached. An epic tier creature can ram through or scale it faster than a champion tier one can—fail the check once, and they’re on you.

7^th level spell: The skill DC to keep the wall up is now 20 instead of 25.

9^th level spell: You now need to fail three Intelligence checks before Epic tier creatures can bust down or climb over your wall.

7th Level Utility Spells

Dungeon Engineering

Source DATP

Ranged spell; Daily; Transmutation

Effect: You magically perform major construction work for roughly an hour. You can move large amounts of earth and stone, dig a hole or a tunnel, or erect walls and pillars. The GM can require a skill check using an appropriate background to determine the quality and sturdiness of the work.

Mirage Arcana

Source DATP

Ranged spell; Daily; Illusion

Effect: You cover an area the size of a castle or a small forest in an extensive animated illusion that affects all senses. The illusion cannot create solid objects, so if for example you create an illusory wall where there is none, anyone can just walk through it. Make a Charisma-based skill check to determine the quality of the illusion. Anyone with an MD higher than the check will see through it immediately. Others can save against the effect if they have a reason to disbelieve the illusion.

The illusion lasts for a day but can be cast as a ritual for longer durations.

Scrying Screen

Source DATP

Ranged spell; Daily; Illusion

Effect: You create an illusion that fools magical divinations. Whoever uses a spell such as Scrying on you or the surrounding area will perceive the image or scene as set by you, not what is really there. The details of the illusory images and sounds are entirely up to you. The screen stays up for 8 hours, but paranoid mages tend to set this spell up as a ritual for longer durations.

True Seeing

Source DATP

Close-quarters spell; Daily; Divination

Target: You or an ally you touch

Effect: For the next hour, the target can see in normal and magical darkness, see invisible creatures and objects, detect visual illusions, and perceive the natural form of a shapechanger or a magically transformed creature. For a creature that has more than one natural form, such as a werewolf, you see both forms as a shadowy overlay. The target can also perceive things that are hidden away on other planes where they overlap with their current location.

9th Level Utility Spells

Magnificent Mansion

Ranged spell; Daily; Conjuration

Effect: You create and furnish a stately home in an extradimensional space. You can layout and decorate the place in any shape and form you like. The typical manifestation of the spell is a large aristocratic manor with dozens of luxurious rooms, a glistening banquet hall and lush gardens, populated with liveried servants and skillful musicians. The entrance to the manor is a dimensional portal that others can enter upon your invitation.

The mansion lasts for one day. Anything brought into the mansion will drop out of the portal when the spell ends.

1st Level Spells

Acid Splash

Source DATP

Ranged spell; At-will; Conjuration

Target: 2 random nearby enemies

Attack: Automatic hit

Effect: 3 acid damage

3^rd level spell: 5 damage

5^th level spell: 8 damage

7^th level spell: 12 damage

9^th level spell: 20 damage

Adventurer Feat When the escalation die is odd, target 3 random nearby enemies.

Champion Feat When the escalation die is even, increase the damage by the spell level.

Epic Feat You can now cast this spell without provoking opportunity attacks.

Animate Armor

Source DATP

Ranged spell; Daily; Enchantment

Special: You can only cast this spell outside of battle; it requires 2d4 minutes to cast.

Target: A suit of heavy armor

Effect: You animate a suit of heavy armor to fight for you as an armor golem, following to the summoning rules. The armor stays animated until it is reduced to zero hit points, or until your next full heal-up. The spell ends, but the armor is not destroyed when it is reduced it to zero hp (unless it makes sense story-wise, e.g. when falling into lava).

By default, the armor uses its gauntlets to attack, and has a d4 damage die with them. However, the armor can also wield melee weapons like a fighter (with the same WEAPON damage dice) and use a shield for +1 AC.

If you cast the spell on a true magic item suit of armor, or equip it with magic items, it benefits from their bonuses and abilities. However, it can only benefit from one item per spell level, and it suffers all item quirks.

While the armor provides strong protection, it has one weakness — when it takes damage, it needs a round to reassemble itself, and cannot attack that turn.

Armor Golem

1st level troop; initiative: +6

Pummel +6 vs. AC—1d4 damage (or damage die of equipped weapon)

Magic item powers: as per equipped items

Unstable Enchantment: When the armor golem takes damage, it cannot attack on your next turn. Instead, it uses its standard action to heal hit points equal to twice the spell level.

Adventurer Feat Unstable Enchantment now only activates when the armor golem is staggered.

Champion Feat The armor golem now has golem immunities. It can’t be dazed, weakened, confused, made vulnerable, and it ignores ongoing damage.

Armor Golem Level Progression

Level	Initiative	Attack	Damage	AC	PD	MD	HP
1	+4	+6	1d4*	17	15	11	22

9^th level spell: 9d12 damage, and you can create the following colors:

Enlarge Person

Source DATP

Ranged spell; Daily; Transmutation

Target: One nearby creature

Attack: Intelligence + Level vs. PD (no attack roll required against allies)

Hit: The target’s size increases by one step (usually from normal to large), and it has advantage on all Strength-based skill checks. In addition, it increases all WEAPON damage dice by one step. The target also has a +2 bonus to all defenses against attacks that attempt to grab or swallow it. Unwilling targets can save against the effect normally, otherwise the effect ends at the end of the battle or scene.

Miss: —

5^th level spell: You can now increase the target’s size to huge. It takes a -1 penalty to attacks and defenses, but its WEAPON damage dice are increased by an additional step.

Enlarge/Shrink Object 

Source 13WCS

Ranged spell; Move action to cast

Recharge: 11+ after battle, or after 10 minutes have passed if used out of combat

Target: One nearby object no larger than a human being

Attack: Intelligence + Level vs. the PD of the person holding the object or automatic success if the object is unattended.

Effect: You either double or halve the size of the target object for your level in rounds (if used outside of combat, the effect lasts for your level in minutes instead). You can’t cause an item to expand or contract in a way that damages other objects or creatures, however—so, for instance, you can’t shrink a creature’s armor to crush it or make a door expand in its frame in order to break down a wall.

If you shrink a creature’s shield, they lose its benefits; if you shrink their weapon, they take a penalty to damage equal to the escalation die + your level when attacking with it.

Enlarging a shield, weapon, or similarly-sized held item requires the target’s holder to take a penalty to attack rolls equal to the escalation die + your level while still holding it.

Either way, the creature has to make a save (11+) or drop the affected item when the spell is cast.

3^rd level spell: All attack and damage penalties for holders of affected items worsen by 2.

5^th level spell: Enlarging a held item causes the holder to become stuck (save ends) unless they drop it. Shrinking a held item causes the holder to lose a move action on their next turn out of sheer confusion.

7^th level spell: You can target two items held by a single creature; all penalties to the holder stack.

9^th level spell: You can now target items held by two different creatures, but no more than two items per creature.

Expeditious Retreat

Fog Cloud

Source DATP

Ranged spell; Daily; Cloud; Evocation

Target: 1d4 nearby enemies

Attack: Intelligence + Level vs. PD

Hit: While inside the cloud, any attack made by the target or against the target has disadvantage, unless the attack is at engaged range. Any creature engaged with the target is also under this effect, i.e. it attacks by it and against it have disadvantage unless at engaged range.

Cloud: A creature that is not engaged can leave the cloud as a move action. At the start of your next turn, make a normal save (11+) to check whether the cloud persists. This is not an action. If it persists, the effect continues, and you make another check at the start of the following turn.

Adventurer Feat The save to see if the cloud persists is now an easy save (6+).

Champion Feat You can now target 1d4+2 enemies.

Hideous Laughter

Source DATP

Ranged spell; Daily; Enchantment

Target: A nearby enemy; constructs and similar mindless enemies are immune to this spell.

Miss: The target is dazed until the end of your next turn.

Hostile Probe

Source DATP

Ranged spell; At-will; Divination

Target: A nearby enemy

Attack: Intelligence + Level vs. MD

Hit: The target must choose to either reveal its intentions or resist and take damage.

Reveal: You learn what action the target intends to take next. Until the end of your next turn, its attacks against you have disadvantage.

Resist: The target takes 2d10 psychic damage.

Miss: —

3^rd level spell: 4d10 damage

5^th level spell: 6d10 damage

7^th level spell: 8d10 damage

9^th level spell: Increase the bonus to +3

Adventurer Feat If you wield the weapon, you can use your Intelligence modifier for attack and damage with it.

7^th level spell: Whenever you suffer a crit, a double automatically takes the hit.

Epic Feat Your doubles explode in a dazzling display when struck, dealing psychic damage equal to your Intelligence modifier + your level + the current escalation die value.

Phantasmal Force

Source DATP

Ranged spell; Daily; Illusion

Target: One nearby enemy

Attack: Intelligence + Level vs. MD

Hit: You plant a phantasm in the target’s mind that it considers to be real (save ends). Describe the phantasm to the GM, who will adjudicate the effect and the target’s actions. Some outcomes the GM can choose are:

• Silly distraction: The target is dazed.
• Overwhelming desire: The target will move toward a place, creature, or item, and possibly try to grab or touch it.
• Stationary danger: The target will avoid a certain area.
• Looming threat: The target will try to move away from a place or a creature as fast as it can.
• Frightening horror: The target curls up in a corner, unable to do anything but shiver.
• Imaginary pain: The target takes 10 ongoing psychic damage per spell level.

The GM can set the save as hard (16+) or easy (6+) depending on how realistic the phantasm is in the current situation. The spell ends immediately if the target feels pain that is inconsistent with the phantasm (like touching a hot coal that it thought was a diamond). The target can still perceive everything outside of the phantasm normally. The phantasm cannot be seen by anyone else.

Miss: You regain the spell at the end of the battle.

5^th level spell: The phantasm can have up to two of the effects above.

9^th level spell: You can target a second enemy.

Creatures of the chosen type have disadvantage on all attacks against those within the circle. Anyone inside the circle has to step across it to engage anyone outside of it, and vice versa.

If a creature of your chosen type tries to enter the circle, make the following attack against it as a free action.

Contingency

Source DATP

Close-quarters spell; Daily; Evocation

Target: You

Effect: Choose a spell of 5^th level or lower that you can cast, and that can target you. You cast that spell—called the contingent spell—as part of casting contingency, expending spell slots for both, but the contingent spell doesn’t come into effect. Instead, it takes effect when a certain circumstance occurs. You describe that circumstance when you cast the two spells. For example, you could set a contingency to trigger water breathing when you are drowning.

Triggering the contingent spell does not take an action from you. It takes effect immediately after the circumstance is met for the first time, whether or not you want it to, and then contingency ends.

The contingent spell takes effect only on you, even if it can normally target others.

If the contingency was not triggered, it ends at your next full heal-up.

An enlarged creature gains one quarter of its current hit points on top of its current total and decreases its AC by 1 and its PD by 3. Its weapon attacks deal 1.5 times the normal damage—this doesn’t affect damage from spells, but does increase damage from natural abilities like breath weapons or claws.

A shrunken creature loses one quarter of its current hit points from its current total, and increases its AC by 1 and its PD by 3. Its weapon attacks deal half the normal damage—again, this doesn’t affect damage from spells, but does decrease damage from natural abilities like breath weapons or claws.

When the spell wears off, any hit points gained from being enlarged are lost, although the affected creature can’t be brought to less than1 hp due to this. Any hit points lost from being shrunken return fully when the spell wears off.

7^th level spell: Enlarged creatures gain a bonus to weapon attack rolls equal to the current escalation die value when cast. Shrunken creatures suffer a penalty to weapon attack rolls equal to the current escalation die value when cast.

Gem Golem

Source DATP

Ranged spell; Daily; Conjuration

Special: You can only cast this spell outside of battle; it requires 2d4 minutes to cast.

Effect: You summon a gem golem to fight as your ally in upcoming battles, according to the summoning rules. The golem stays animated until it is reduced to zero hit points, or until your next full heal-up. When you create the golem, embed three gems worth at least 300 gp each in its forehead, which you can retrieve when the golem is destroyed. For each gem, choose a 3^rd-level wizard spell you can cast. The golem is able to cast these spells as if you would cast them, at their normal frequency. This does not expend any of your spells.

9^th level spell: You can now embed three gems worth at least 500 gp each to embed 5^th level spells.

Gem Golem

A sparkling creation of gems, silver, and gold, the gem golem shows off its owner’s wealth and magical prowess.

7^th level construct [caster]; Initiative +11

Mislead

Source DATP

Ranged spell; Daily; Illusion

Target: You

Effect: Until the end of the battle (or for five minutes out of combat), you become invisible until you attack or use some ridiculously flashy action. In addition, you create an illusory double of yourself that you can move freely in a nearby location. The double does not interact with physical objects; everything passes through it.

Source DATP

Ranged spell; Daily; Evocation

Target: One nearby enemy

Attack: Intelligence + Level vs. PD

Hit: 3d6 x 10 cold damage

Reverse Gravity ^13WCS

Ranged spell

Daily

Special: When you cast this spell, you can choose to cast it recklessly.

Target: 1d3 + 1 nearby enemies in a group. If you cast recklessly, you can target 1d2 additional enemies, but then your allies engaged with any of the targets may also take damage (see below).

Attack: Intelligence + Level vs. PD

Hit: 2d4 x 10 damage.

Miss: Half damage.

Reckless miss: Your allies engaged with the target take one-fourth damage.

9^th level spell: 2d8 x 10 damage, and gravity remains reversed for any hit targets (as well as any damaged allies on a reckless miss) for a number of rounds equal to the current escalation die value when you cast the spell. If there’s no ceiling in the place where you cast this, multiply the base damage by the number f rounds the effect lasts—that’s how much they’ll take when they finally land.

Simulacrum

Source DATP

Ranged spell; Daily; Illusion

Target: One nearby creature

Effect: You create an illusory double of the creature that fights for you until the end of the battle, according to the summoning rules. The simulacrum has the stats of the target, with the following changes:

• It only has 45 hit points.
• It ignores any attack against it with a natural odd attack roll.
• If the target was double-strength, the simulacrum deals half damage. If it was triple-strength or a PC, the simulacrum deals one third of the damage. You cannot create a simulacrum of creatures stronger than triple-strength.
• It can’t be healed.

9^th level spell: The simulacrum has 70 hp.

Slow 

Source 13WCS

Ranged spell

Daily

Target: One nearby enemy

Attack: Intelligence + Level vs. MD

Hit: On the target’s next turn, it can only take either a standard action or a move action, but not both.

In addition, at the start of each of the target’s turns this battle, if the escalation die is odd, roll a d20 and add the escalation die; on a 16+, this effect persists for that turn.

Miss: You regain this spell during your next quick rest.

9^th level spell: The roll to repeat the effect is now 11+ instead of 16+.

Symbol

Source DATP

Ranged spell; Daily; Abjuration

Effect: You create a glowing symbol on a nearby object that you imbue with a variable effect from the list below. You can choose between a lesser symbol, which has a weaker effect but affects more targets, or a greater symbol, which has a stronger effect but only affects one target.

Lesser Symbols

Fear: The targets are struck by fear (-4 to attacks and can’t use the escalation die; save ends).

Hopelessness: The targets are struck by hopelessness (-5 to MD and -5 difficulty to skill checks to give suggestions or commands to the target; save ends).

Pain: The target has disadvantage on attacks (save ends).

Discord: The targets are confused until the end of their next turn.

Persuasion: The targets are subject to a suggestion by the caster (save ends). The effect also ends if the target takes damage.

Greater Symbols

Insanity: The target is confused (save ends).

Sleep: The target falls unconscious (save ends). The effect also ends if the target takes damage.

Stun: The target is stunned (save ends).

Death: The target starts making last gasp saves (16+). If it fails the fourth save, it dies.

The symbol lasts until it is activated, or until 24 hours have passed. You also set an activation trigger, for example when the object is touched, when an undead creature comes near it, or when someone passes through the doorway under it.

When the symbol is triggered, it makes the following attack:

Target (lesser symbol): the 1d4 closest creatures with 120 hp or fewer

Target (greater symbol): the closest creature with 180 hp or fewer

Attack: Intelligence + Level vs. MD

Hit: As per the chosen symbol

9^th level spell: Increase the hp threshold to 180 / 270 hp.

Champion Feat You can hide the symbol, so that it only becomes visible on a certain condition (for example, when an orc approaches within 30 feet, or when someone is touching the object). The symbol must become visible before it can trigger.

Epic Feat The effect skips nearby enemies with more hit points than the hp threshold if eligible targets are within range.

Wall of Force

Source DATP

Ranged spell; Daily; Evocation

Effect: You create a transparent wall in a straight line across the battlefield. The wall can be a few hundred feet across. The wall blocks creatures, attacks, and spells.

When damage is dealt directly to the wall, divide the damage of that attack by 10 and roll a d20. If the die roll is lower, the wall dissipates.

9^th level spell: The wall now only dissipates on the third failed roll.

9th Level Spells

Dominate Monster

Source DATP

Ranged spell; Daily; Enchantment

Target: One nearby creature

Attack: Intelligence + Level vs. MD

Hit: You take complete control over the target (normal save 11+ ends; double-strength and stronger monsters make an easy save 6+). The target acts on its normal turn, but you determine its actions. If you order the target to do something that goes against its very nature, it can immediately save against the effect.

Epic Feat You can target a group of mooks as a single target.

Feeblemind

Source DATP

Ranged spell; Daily; Enchantment

Target: One nearby creature

Attack: Intelligence + Level vs. MD

Hit: The target is reduced to minimal intelligence and instinctual behavior (hard save 16+ ends). The target can still physically defend itself and fight, and it recognizes friend from foe, but it can’t speak, cast spells, or use any advanced tactics. This is effectively a stronger version of the hampered condition.

Miss: The target is dazed until the end of your next turn.

Epic Feat The target can only save against the spell effect when the escalation die is even.

Foresight

Source DATP

You bestow sudden flashes of insight about the immediate future to the target.

Ranged spell; Daily; Divination

Target: You or a nearby ally

Effect: The target rolls two d12s and keeps the higher result. As a free action, it can reduce the die by one to gain a sudden insight about an upcoming task, which grants advantage to a skill check, attack, or save. The target can also reduce the die by one to avoid being surprised, or impose disadvantage on an attack against it. The spell ends when the die is reduced to zero, or at the next full heal-up.

Imprisonment

Source DATP

Ranged spell; Daily; Abjuration

Target: One nearby creature

Attack: Intelligence + Level vs. PD

Hit: You shrink the target and teleport it into a gem, necklace or similar object. The target is fully conscious, but can’t escape the gemstone unless it succeeds at a hard save (16+), the gem is smashed, or it has a way to teleport out of there.

Miss: The target is teleported to a random nearby location.

Magma Golem

Source DATP

Ranged spell; Daily; Conjuration

Special: You can only cast this spell outside of battle; it requires 2d4 minutes to cast.

Effect: You summon a magma golem to fight as your ally in upcoming battles, according to the summoning rules. The golem stays animated until it is reduced to zero hit points, or until your next full heal-up.

Epic Feat When the magma golem engages an enemy, it deals 25 fire damage to them.

Magma Golem

9^th level construct [wrecker]; Initiative +14

A lump of molten lava given a vaguely humanoid shape.

Molten Fist +14 vs. PD—40 fire damage

Lava Splash +14 vs. PD (interrupt action when the golem is hit by a melee attack, against the attacker) — 25 fire damage to the attacker and 10 fire damage to all other enemies engaged with the golem

Golem immunity: Can’t be dazed, weakened, confused, made vulnerable, or touched by ongoing damage.

Resist fire 18+

Magma Golem Level Advancement

Level	Initiative	Attack	Damage	AC	PD	MD	HP
9	+14	+17	40	26	24	20	126

Maze

Source DATP

Ranged spell; Daily; Conjuration

Target: One nearby creature

Attack: Intelligence + Level vs. MD

Hit: The target is removed from the battlefield and teleported to a labyrinth-like demiplane, where it has to search for the exit. At the end of each turn, it makes a normal save (11+). If it succeeds, it immediately rolls another save that turn, otherwise it starts saving again at the end of its next turn. It needs three successes to escape from the maze. Enemies whose MD is higher than yours only need two successes. Minotaurs always succeed at their save against this spell.

Miss: —

Epic Feat Enemies now need four successes to escape the maze (three if their MD is higher than yours).

Power Word, Kill

Source DATP

Ranged spell; Daily; Enchantment

Target: One nearby enemy

Attack: Intelligence + Level vs. PD

Hit: The target takes 100 ongoing negative energy damage. If it rolls a natural 5 or less on its save, increase the ongoing damage by 50.

Miss: 50 ongoing damage

Epic Feat On a natural 5 or less on the save, increase the ongoing damage by 100.

Prismatic Barriers 

Source 13WCS

Close-quarters spell

Daily

Target: You

Effect: You create a series of stationary multicolored barriers around you that grant you resist 18+ to all damage, even from weapons (but not from holy or negative energy). You can leave or re-enter the barriers without harming yourself, but other creatures who pass them suffer 4d20 points of a certain damage type as indicated on the chart below. The rainbow barriers can be overcome only by physically passing through them, or by dealing 40 points of a certain damage type to each one in the specific order presented below. Attack rolls that target a barrier must overcome your PD (even if they would normally target AC or MD), and the resistances don’t apply to the barriers—only to you. As each barrier comes down, you lose the indicated resistance type; you also lose your resistance to weapon damage when the final violet barrier is dispersed.

Epic Feat You can expand the barriers to hold 1d2 allies who can enter and exit them just as you can. Any adventurer or champion tier monsters who pass through a barrier must make a hard save (16+) or be hampered and dazed until the end of their next turn.

Barrier:	Resistance Type (and Damage Type If Passed):	Overcome By:
1st–Red	Fire	Cold
2nd–Orange	Thunder	Thunder
3rd–Yellow	Force	Negative Energy
4th–Green	Acid	Psychic
5th–Blue	Cold	Force
6th–Indigo	Lightning	Holy
7th–Violet	Psychic	Lightning

Prismatic Spray

Source DATP

Ranged spell; Daily; Evocation

Target: One random nearby enemy per point of Intelligence modifier

Attack: Intelligence + Level vs. PD

Hit: Roll 1d8 to determine which color ray affects the target.

1. Red. The target takes 2d8 x 10 ongoing fire damage. 
2. Orange. The target takes 3d8 x 10 acid damage.
3. Yellow. The target takes 3d8 x 10 lightning damage.
4. Green. The target takes 2d8 x 10 ongoing poison damage. If it fails a save while it has 150 hp or fewer, it dies.
5. Blue. The target takes 3d8 x 10 cold damage.
6. Indigo. The target is hampered (save ends). After the third failed save, it is permanently turned into stone.
7. Violet. The target is blinded (treat as weakened, -4 to attacks and defenses). If it fails its save three times, it is transported to another plane of existence of the GM’s choosing. (Typically, a creature that is on a plane that isn’t its home plane is banished home, while other creatures are usually cast into the Astral or Ethereal planes.) 
8. The target is struck by two rays. Roll twice more, rerolling any 8s.

Miss: Roll 1d8 to determine the ray color, but the target takes half damage and ignores any non-damage effect.

Suppress Magic

Source DATP

Ranged spell; Daily; Abjuration

Effect: Nearby enemies have disadvantage on magic and spell attacks (anything that can be targeted by Counterspell). If they try to cast a spell that does not involve an attack roll, roll a d20; if the roll is a natural 1–5, the spell fails. The effect lasts until the end of the battle, until you fall unconscious, or until an enemy rolls a natural 20 on a spell attack roll or spell failure check.

Time Stop

Source DATP

Close-quarters spell; Daily; Transmutation

Target: You

Effect: Time seems to cease flowing for everyone but you. You speed up so greatly that all other creatures seem frozen to you, although they are still moving at their normal speeds. You can take 1d4+1 full turns (standard action, move action, quick action) as a free action. You suffer effects like ongoing damage normally while taking these turns. While the time stop is in effect, other creatures are invulnerable to your attacks and spells. You cannot move or harm items held, carried, or worn by a creature stuck in normal time, but you can affect any item that is not in another creature’s possession. Any spell with a duration longer than the remaining duration of the time stop has its normal effects on other creatures once the time stop ends.

Twisted Nightmare

Source DATP

Ranged spell; Daily; Illusion

Target: One nearby enemy with 750 hp or fewer

Attack: Intelligence + Level vs. MD

Hit: The target is confused (save ends). It takes a penalty to the save equal to the escalation die. Whenever the target hits its own ally, it takes psychic damage equal to half the damage it dealt. Whenever the target takes damage, increase the damage of its attacks by its level until the end of the battle (even after the spell ends).

Miss: You can repeat the attack against the target once during your next turn as a quick action.

Epic Feat If you hit the target with this spell, you gain a +2 bonus to attacks against it until the end of the battle.

Wish

Source DATP

Close-quarters spell; Daily; Conjuration

Effect: You utter the words “I wish …”, and the literal wording of that Wish becomes reality. Wish is the ultimate freeform spell, as it can make anything happen. It can heal wounds, transport you anywhere, summon items, and make bad things happen to your enemies. However, the universe has a way to reflect overly ambitious Wishes back at the caster, by giving them exactly what they wanted.

Special: You cannot, or rather should not attempt to cast this spell more than three times in a lifetime. Stories are vague as to the reason, but the most common legend is that the genie who fulfills your wishes is freed after the third casting, and a fourth attempt will force the caster to take their place.

GM Note: If you are looking for a literary inspiration for this spell, think about Cinderella’s transformation to join the ball. Think about who fulfills wishes in your campaign — Faerie godmothers? Genies? The Diabolist?

All in all, treat this spell as a plot device. Fulfill the Wish in a way that moves the story forward, with an epic effect that is worthy of a 9^th level spell, just like you would handle a 5 or 6 on an icon relationship roll. This is the most powerful spell in the game, cast by one of the most powerful casters in the game world, at the peak of the campaign. The results can and should feel amazing. There is always room to introduce unintended negative consequences later.
