Arcanist (3.5e Class)

From D&D Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search


Arcanist[edit]

With a selection of powers at their will, and spellcasting to supplement them, the Arcanist is a mid ranged spellcaster that can quickly take down lone targets, or small groups.

Creative Clause: Pieces of this class, the Arcanist, might reflect upon the video game Series Shin Megami Tensei, mainly in reflection of the Persona series, and some of their other games. This is a fan work and in no way do I take claim on anything that might be found within the games of Shin Megami Tensei, which is owned by Atlus.

Making an Arcanist[edit]

The Arcanist is spellcaster with an affinity for their Tarokka deck, and a selection of spells and powers that can augment each other to create powerful spells.

Abilities: Charisma is needed for the Arcanist to allow them their pool of spells. Intelligence follows second to supplement their Knowledge bank of skills. And as per usual, Constitution is a close third to supplement their hit points.

Races: Usually, races that aren't overly war-like have the potential to become Arcanists, but at times, a smarter mind from those races can be found.

Alignment: Any.

Class Features[edit]

All of the following are class features of the Arcanist.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: The Arcanist is proficient with the Dagger, the Light Mace, the Sickle, the Quarter Staff, Light Crossbow, and Javelins. They are also proficient with Padded armor only, as it does not incur Arcane Failure for an Arcanist. Any other type of armor incurs Arcane Failure as usual.

Spells: An Arcanist casts arcane spells which are drawn primarily from the sorcerer/wizard spell list. He can cast any spell he knows without preparing it ahead of time, the way a wizard or a cleric must (see below).

To learn or cast a spell, an Arcanist must have a Charisma score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against an Arcanist’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the Arcanist’s Charisma modifier.

Like other spellcasters, an Arcanist can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. His base daily spell allotment is given on Table: The Arcanist. In addition, he receives bonus spells per day if he has a high Charisma score.

An Arcanist’s selection of spells is extremely limited. An Arcanist begins play knowing five 0-level spells and three 1st-level spells of your choice. At each new Arcanist level, he gains one or more new spells, as indicated on Table: Arcanist Spells Known. (Unlike spells per day, the number of spells an Arcanist knows is not affected by his Charisma score; the numbers on Table: Arcanist Spells Known are fixed.) These new spells can be common spells chosen from the sorcerer/wizard spell list, or they can be unusual spells that the Arcanist has gained some understanding of by study. The Arcanist can’t use this method of spell acquisition to learn spells at a faster rate, however.

Upon reaching 4th level, and at every even-numbered Arcanist level after that (6th, 8th, and so on), an Arcanist can choose to learn a new spell in place of one he already knows. In effect, the Arcanist “loses” the old spell in exchange for the new one. The new spell’s level must be the same as that of the spell being exchanged, and it must be at least two levels lower than the highest-level Arcanist spell the Arcanist can cast. An Arcanist may swap only a single spell at any given level, and must choose whether or not to swap the spell at the same time that he gains new spells known for the level.

Unlike a wizard or a cleric, an Arcanist need not prepare his spells in advance. He can cast any spell he knows at any time, assuming he has not yet used up his spells per day for that spell level. He does not have to decide ahead of time which spells he’ll cast.

By Attuning to the Major Arcana of a Tarokka deck, The Arcanist learns to draw on its abilities to bend the fates, gaining metamagic like abilities based on the seclected card. The Arcanist is never without their deck. If the deck is ever lost to the Arcanist through theft, destruction, or some other means, The Arcanist loses access to his Arcana based abilities until it is either returned or replaced. A new deck must be attuned to through meditation to form a new bond. This process takes a total of 48 hours of meditation performed while in a restful state. These hours do not need to be consecutive, but must be completed before regaining access to Arcana abilities.


Arcane Pocket (Su): At 1st level, As a spell like ability, the Arcanist can safely store his deck in a tiny, secure, extraplanar space. As a free action, you may store/retrieve the item at will. The Deck simply vanishes from your hand, or reappears instantly. Only the deck and its case are able to be stored this way.

Call Arcana: An Arcanist's true ability. At 1st level, the Arcanist starts with 3 Arcana known (The Fool, The Magician and 1 selected by player), and gains 1 every level. When an Arcanist starts their day, they may choose which Arcana to attune themselves to. At any point throughout the day, the Arcanist may, as a full round action that provokes an Attack of Opportunity, switch which Arcana they are attuned with, as an Arcanist can only be in tune with 1 Arcana at a time. While in tune with an Arcana, the Arcanist gains the ability to augment their spells with the power of the Arcana as a Swift Action, however, an Arcanist may not use a Metamagic spell to a spell that has been changed via an Arcana (For example: You may not cast a Quickened Fireball spell that has the Magician Arcana's augment on it). When attuned, an Arcanist can augment their spells in one of the following ways per Arcana, the way of augmentation can change with each casting, but an Arcanist can only use one augmentation per spell, even if it allows different targets.

Campaign Information[edit]

Playing an Arcanist[edit]

Religion: An Arcanist worships as they please, with the gods and goddesses of their choosing being those who hold domain over .

Other Classes: The Arcanist can fill in for a moderate spellcaster, such as a Ranger, strictly in terms of their spells.

Combat: A spellcasting class, the Arcanist tends to hang out in the back rows of the fight, though can survive a few hits if stuck in melee.

Advancement: Rangers, Rogues, and Monks are valid options for multiclassing with the Arcanist, as it allows them to keep at a distance, or supply needed offensive tools for combat.

Arcanists in the World[edit]

The power of the mind, and the control and order it brings helps shapes us as people, and that which we use to defend ourselves and others
—Ivy Zetsuoa, Kitsune Arcanist
What is an Arcanist? Fishermen, upon the tides of fate, reading signs written by destiny that dance on winds of change. A humble purveyor of fortunes and chance, guided by understanding of the Tarokka...or so Santiago is told
—Santiago Grasol, Taresi Halfling Arcanist


Daily Life: The Arcanist come in a great range of personalities. From those tending to lead a simple life of study and work in order to fully understand their powers and magic, to nomadic freespirits who roam the world to cultivate their skills through experience, and much trial and error.

Notables: Ivy Zetsuoa. Santiago Grasol

Organizations: Most spellcasting guilds tend to dabble into looking for Arcanists to provide a much needed variety . They are also quite often found amongst those of a more bohemian oriented lifestyle

NPC Reactions: NPCs tend to look upon the Arcanist as they would any other spellcaster, though sometimes with wonder.
