Empath/Heart Mage (5e Class)
From D&D Wiki
Empath
"It seemed a completely normal, inoffensive village of kind hearted folk, but whenever someone passed the alley where the child huddled, in her torn rags, knees hugged tight to her body, they would attack her with words, or spit, or throw something at her. This intrigued me and when I asked why, they said, 'She's a devil child!' Knowing a bit about these things I asked what signs of Fiend descent did she bear on her body, but the villagers, embarrassed, said she had none. Then they changed their words and said she was cursed. So I asked, 'What kind of curse?' It took a bit more time weeding out the truth, but eventually they told me that she knew everyone's secrets and that no one could touch her without screaming in pain. This intrigued me greatly. I approached the girl and asked her if I would scream in pain too if I touched her. She looked at me for a long time before emitting a whispered '...No...'. I reached out and patted her head, nothing happened. I continued for a few seconds and she started crying. I suddenly felt like crying as well and utter misery filled my heart. It was then that I knew I couldn't leave her here and, surprising myself more than any of those present, asked her how she felt about traveling the world with me... as my adopted daughter. She looked at me again, more calm than I expected. At that moment, I could not, for the life of me, understand her expression. It might have been shock, it might have been cold calculation. Even now I wonder. After a pause, she said yes, and that is when my life changed. Possibly for the better. But one thing was certain: my life was no longer my own."
Control emotions, make them cry, make them laugh, keep them sane, or drive them mad!
Use Emotions to control the battlefield.
The Empath, is a person with unique abilities to influence the emotional state of others. Empath abilities are non-magic but only work on feeling creatures. They have no effect on undead or constructs.
In a few rare individuals, this ability manifests so strongly that it gets quite uncomfortable for the person and/or those around them.
Creating an Empath
The Empath provides aid to members of their adventuring company. An Empath bolsters their allies and weakens their enemies. Strangely, these individuals don't need magic to affect the world around them, instead, they send out or elicit/provoke waves of intense emotion that radically change people's hearts and minds.
Some of the questions you want to ask yourself to build this kind of character are: "Where does their power to affect the hearts and emotional state of others come from? How do they want to use their powers? For good or evil? Are they gentle in the way they intrude into the hearts of others or are they violent about tearing out dark secrets and dealing emotional and psychic damage to others?"
- Quick Build

First, Wisdom should be your highest ability score followed by Charisma and Constitution.
Second, There are many backgrounds that work with this : Hermit for the classics for example. Or, from the Home-brew collection : Exile, Experiment, Fey Child, Mystic, Psychic, ...

Class Features
Empath Abilities
All Empath "spells" are not considered magic, but are to be treated as psychic-like abilities. Many Empath spells are automatic hits, allowing targeted creatures to make a Wisdom saving throw to resist the effects or take half damage.
Empath spells have a normal spell DC if the target is visible. The spell DC increases by 4 if there is skin contact, and decreases by 8 if there is no visual sight on the target (the target still must be within aura range).
As a general rule, one can consider all Empath spells to have only one component: V (Verbal). For this reason and the fact that Empath abilities are not spells, they are much harder to detect when used discretely in everyday life.
The range of all spells is determined by the Empath's Heartfield Aura size.
Heartfield Aura
Empaths have a certain range within which their intent and emotional energy can affect those around them, called their Heartfield Aura. Your aura dictates the range of all your Empath abilities and spells, and begins with a radius of 30 feet. This radius increases at certain levels.
At 7th level, your maximum aura range increases by 10 feet. At 15th level, your maximum aura range further increases by 20 feet.
Innate Abilities
Perceive emotional state, detect life, send emotional message.
The range on these abilities is the same as the aura range. These Innate Abilities are unlimited at-will and can all be used as Bonus Actions, Actions or Reactions in the context of combat.
Perceive emotional state : You glean the general emotional state of a target creature.
Detect life : You detect the presence of any feeling creature within your aura range.
Send emotional message : You send a message to a creature within your aura whose location is known to you, the message contains more of a feeling than a meaning, it can be colored by a specific emotion or a mix of 2 or more emotions and can evoque an image or a sound or a smell, or a temperature, etc.
Overflow
When casting an Empath spell, if it does not have an attack roll, roll a d20. On a 1, you lose control of the building emotions, causing them to be released in a wave called "Overflow". For Empath spells with an attack roll, rolling a 1 on the attack roll will cause an Overflow. When an Overflow is triggered, the intended Empath spell is not cast, but you still lose the spell slot you spent for it.
When this happens, a negative effect applies to the Empath, a random creature in near proximity to them (within aura range, the closer, the higher chance of being the unfortunate target), or even to all creatures within aura range. The severity of the negative effect depends on the level of the Empath spell that was attempted. For example, a 1 rolled on an attempted Heart Delve could become the opposite, exposing the PCs secrets of heart to the target. A 1 on a Heart Grasp might stun the PC for one round of combat at level 5, or the entire party at level 9 ! This is to be used at DM discretion.
nb : A more classic approach of this would be : "An Overflow causes a number of random targets within your aura range equal to one more than a third of your Empath level rounded up to take psychic damage equal to the spell's level in d6 (1d6 for cantrips). Targets may make a Wisdom saving throw against your Empath Spell Save DC, taking half as much damage on a success."
Empath Spellcasting
Cantrips
Theses are the "Heart Cantrips" available to Empaths :
Chill Touch, Guidance, Resistance, Shocking Grasp, Spare the Dying, Toll the Dead, True Strike, Vicious Mockery, Word of Radiance
Empath Unique Cantrip :
Heart Jolt : Action, Automatic hit, no saving throw. Deals 1d6 force damage. On 3 consecutive casts of this Cantrip on the same target, the creature must make a wisdom saving throw, on a fail, they are stunned until the end of their next turn. This spell’s damage increases by 1d6 when you reach 5th level (2d6), 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6).
Remember that all these are still treated not as magic effects but as psychic/emotional effects (in-game descriptions will bring these alive and make all the difference).
Other options can be added with DM discretion, as long as you can imagine a non-magical way of doing it, it's ok for an empath to have it.
Note that most spells requiring physical contact can be described in that way (an emotional surge).
At Level 1, you choose 2 Cantrips from the list above. You may choose 2 other Cantrips at level 3.
Preparing and Casting Spells
The Empath table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level or higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spells level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
All Empath spells are always available for you to cast, choosing from the Empath spell list. The spells must be cast on a level for which you have an available spell slot.
Spellcasting Ability
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your Empath spells. The power of your Empath spells come from your overflowing emotional energy and your natural empathy affinity. You use your Wisdom modifier whenever an Empath spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the DC for an Empath spell you cast and when making a attack roll with one.
Spell Save DC : 8 + your proficiency modifier + your Wisdom modifier
Spell attack modifier : your proficiency modifier + your Wisdom modifier
Ritual Casting
You can cast a spell that has the ritual tag as a normal spell, expending the appropriate spell slot.
Spellcasting Focus
Your body, it's life and energy is your focus for your spells. As such, you become unable to cast Empath spells so long as you no longer have a body's life and energy to work with. As a soul-projection or in an ethereal state, an Empath looses all their abilities.
Note that some Empaths also use their voice to elicit and communicate emotions to others, some use only eye contact, or a touch... (DM & Player discretion)
Archetype Feature
At level 2, you gain an Empath Archetype and the corresponding features.
You gain another Archetype feature at levels 6 and 10.
Ability Score Increase
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Ease of Practice
At level 18, you may choose a 1st level Empath spell. You may cast this spell at its base level without using a spell slot.
Rewards of the Heart
At level 20, you gain +2AC and are permanently under the effect of the Sanctuary spell's effects. This is not a magic effect and cannot be dispelled. Any creature who targets you with an attack or a harmful spell must first make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature must choose a new target or lose the attack or spell. This effect doesn't protect you from area effects, such as the explosion of a fireball. Attacking or casting a spell that affects an enemy creature does not remove this effect.

Requires Heart Delve to have been successfully cast on target creature prior to this spell (there are no time requirements for this). Does no damage but if successful the target cannot take any aggressive action or target the caster with an attack for the rest of the day (week at 6th level, month at 7th level, year at 8th level, ever at 9th level). Attacking the target does not remove this effect.

Mind Phantasms : Action, one creature you can see must make an Intelligence save. On a success, the target takes 5d10 psychic damage and the spell ends. On a failure, the creature is frightened, it takes the damage and becomes trapped in its own mind for 1 minute. Instead of percieving reality, it percieves its worst fears in a sprawling landscape all around it, effectively shutting down all perceptions from its real surroundings. This illusion affects all the senses. It is in the creature's mind and cannot be percieved by any other creature than the affected target. It is also restrained for the duration. If it is moved, attacked, takes any damage, makes a melee attack or attempts a spell, it takes 8d10 psychic damage and the effect ends. If it attempted a spell, it fails and the spell slot is lost. All damage from this spell is ignored for creatures that are immune to fear. However, they are still immobilised in a mental illusion.

On a fail, they take 2d12 psychic damage (+1d12 per additionnal casting level) and are afflicted with a Madness. If you cast this as a 7th-level spell, it inflicts a short-term madness. At 8th level, it inflicts a long term madness. And then an indefinite madness at 9th level. And maybe, to make up for the fact that you'd have to use a 9th-level slot for indefinite madness
- 8th Level

On a failed save, target creature takes 12d10+Wisdom Modifier (+2d10 per additional spell casting level) psychic damage and is stunned until end of its next turn.
