Breeder (5e Class)

The Breeder

While many practitioners of arcane magic focus on summoning destructive monsters, the Breeder diverges by specializing in spells of creation and protection. Through a magical ritual created by themselves, he establishes a deep bond with his own magical creation, known as a Magekin, which gains power as the summoner becomes more proficient in their invocation.

They dedicate significant time to mastering the arcane alongside their Magekin, relying primarily on it in perilous situations. Operating independently, their true strength lies in the potential of the connection between themselves.

Creating a Breeder

When creating a Breeder, you should primarily consider the reason why they want to create a new being. This could be for personal gain, or perhaps they are simply someone who desires to have a pet they can control. Additionally, you should think about the path they've traveled to reach this invention, which would be the ritual capable of creating new life autonomously.

Due to the Magekin originating directly from you or being crafted by your hands, you share a soul connection with it. An interesting option for the Dungeon Master would be to grant you an Insanity, whether it be permanent, temporary, or long-lasting, should your creation perish.

Breeder Features

Spellcasting

Through your extensive studies as a Breeder, you somehow ended up limiting yourself to manipulating spells from the schools of Abjuration, Evocation, and Transmutation. However, your mastery of this type of magic allows you to cast any spell from these schools, disregarding the class prerequisite.

Cantrips

At 1st level, you know two cantrips of your choice from the schools of Abjuration, Evocation, and Transmutation. The "Cantrips Known" column of the Breeder table shows how many you know at each level.

Spells Known

At 1st level you know three 1st-level spells of your choice from the the schools of Abjuration, Evocation, and Transmutation. The "Spells Known" column of the Breeder table shows how many you know at each level. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose any Breeder spell you know and replace it with another one.

Spell Slots

The "Spell Slots per Spell Level" column of the Breeder table shows how many you have at each level. To cast a spell you know, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

Spellcasting Ability

Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your Breeder spells.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your inteligence modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your inteligence modifier

Ritual Casting

You can cast any Breeder spell you know as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag.

Spellcasting Focus

You can use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus for your Breeder spells.

Magekin

At 1st level, you gain the ability to generate or create a Magekin through a magical ritual that you developed yourself. This magical ritual can be performed in three ways of your choice: by using a muddy surface and shaping your Magekin with a bit of your blood, and if possible given your character's race and/or sex, you can also generate it in your womb or expel an egg. Regardless of the method chosen, the entire process, whether it involves creation, gestation, birth, and evolution of your Magekin, takes a long rest, and at the end, it will be fully formed. When created, the Magekin forms a bond with its creator. It behaves like a loyal canine companion, expressing affection towards the creator. It will never betray them and will never refuse to carry out an order, even if it is harmful to itself.

The remaining characteristics of the Magekin you can see below in Magekin Features.

Breeder's Bond

At 1st level, you must define the nature of the bond with your Magekin. You can choose between Bond of Ascendance, Bond of the Swarm, and Bond of Unity. The bonds are detailed at Breeder's Bond.

Magekin's Senses

At 2nd level, while on the same plane, you may use an action to perceive through all the Magekin's Senses, which replaces and suppresses your own for the time being. You may switch back to your senses as an action.

Life Link

At level 3, a breeder's life becomes linked to his Magekin's. Whenever either the Magekin or the Breeder takes damage, as a reaction either may sacrifice hit points up to the amount of the damage taken, and not in excess of their current hit points. If they do, they prevent damage equal to the number of hit points lost this way. The Magekin may only choose to sacrifice hit points if the Breeder is damaged, and the Breeder may only sacrifice hit points if the Magekin is damaged. Neither can sacrifice hit points for the other if they are below half of their hit point maximum.

Magekin Multi-Attack

Starting at 4th, your Magekin learns to do multi-attacks. When it uses the attack action on its turn, it can attack with 2 natural weapons at the same time. This number increase by 1 when you reach 8th, 12th, 16th and 20th level.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of you 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.

Call Magekin

At 6th level, as an action, a Breeder can call his Magekin to his side. This functions as dimension door. When used, the Magekin appears adjacent to the Breeder (or as close as possible if all adjacent spaces are occupied). If the Magekin is out of range, the ability is wasted. You cannot use this feature again until you finish a short rest.

Coexistence

At 8th level, The bond with your Magekin is so strong that the magic between you begins to cause some traits of your creation to appear in yourself. Choose evolutions, totaling no more than 8 EP. The total Evolution Points used is not subtracted from your Magekin's Evolution Points pool. All these points must be spent from evolutions that your Magekin already possesses.

At 12th level, the number of points the breeder possesses is equal to their level, and at 18th level, this amount becomes equal to twice their level.

Evolutionist

Starting at 18th level, you can spend a long rest to reassign all of your Magekin’s evolutions.

Strong Bond

At 20th level, both Breeder and Magekin gain +2 AC when they are at least 10 feet away from each other, and can't be pushed, pulled or moved away from each other in similar manners (Unless willing) while within 25 feet of each other. Being teleport bypasses the protection.

Breeder's Bond

For a Breeder, the bond with their Magekin is a partnership of growth and power, a fusion of strengths that deepens over time. The Breeder understands that to face greater challenges and unlock the full potential of their connection, they must continuously invest in their companion's evolution. These evolutions are not just increments in strength but significant transformations that reinforce the Magekin’s abilities, adapting it to various environments and enabling it to confront a wider range of foes. With each new evolution, the Breeder and Magekin move closer to a legendary status, where both become instruments of pure resilience and might.

The Breeder subclasses offer unique paths that shape the Magekin’s evolution style, providing specializations that strengthen their bond and further enhance the Magekin’s power and combat effectiveness.

Bond of Ascendance

Driven by an insatiable desire for strength, the Breeder with the Bond of Ascendance is dedicated to the solitary path of maximizing their Magekin’s power. This Breeder pours their focus and resources into developing a Magekin that stands as an unstoppable force, capable of facing any threat alone. With each evolution, the Magekin becomes stronger, an embodiment of singular, unwavering strength that mirrors the Breeder’s relentless ambition.

Magekin's Rage

Starting at 1st level, you can use your action to unleash a surge of magical energy that ignites your Magekin's fury, granting it the following benefits:

• Advantage on all Strength and Constitution checks and saving throws.
• Temporary hit points equal to three times your level in the Breeder class.

The fury lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if the Magekin is knocked unconscious or if its turn ends without having attacked a hostile creature or taken damage since its last turn. The Breeder can also choose to end the Magekin's fury as a bonus action on their turn. Additionally, the Magekin cannot cast spells, if capable, while in a state of fury. You can invoke this fury a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier, per long rest.

Energy Bond

At 3rd level, when you choose the Energy Bond, you strengthen the magical connection between you and your Magekin, allowing the transfer of vital and magical energy. This ability grants the following benefits:

Vitality Transfer: As a bonus action, you can transfer hit points between yourself and your Magekin. You can transfer up to a number of hit points equal to your Breeder level times 2. This transfer can be used to heal your Magekin or yourself as needed. However, each transfer can only be made once per turn. When you use Vitality Transfer, you or your Magekin also gain a temporary bonus of +2 to AC or +1 to all attack rolls and saving throws until the start of your next turn.

Shared Resistance: When you or one of your Magekin takes damage of a specific type (such as fire, ice, etc.), you can use your reaction to grant resistance to that type of damage to all your Magekin until the start of your next turn. This shared resistance represents the distribution of magical burden between you and your Magekin.

Spell Channelling: You can channel a spell through one of your Magekin. When you cast a spell that would normally have you as the point of origin, you can choose your Magekin to be the point of origin for the spell. This allows you to position your spells more strategically on the battlefield. This ability can be used a number of times equal to your Inteligence modifier (minimum of once) and regains uses after a long rest.

Energy Shield: As a bonus action, you can create a magical shield around one of your Magekin or yourself, granting a +2 bonus to Armor Class (AC) and resistance to all types of damage until the start of your next turn. This ability can be used once per short or long rest.

Provocative Roar

Starting at 6th level, the Magekin can use a bonus action to unleash a deafening roar. Each creature within a 30-foot radius must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + the Magekin’s Constitution modifier + proficiency bonus). On a failed save, the creature is compelled to attack the Magekin on its next turn.

Additionally, the Magekin gains a +2 bonus to its AC until the end of its next turn. This bonus increases to +4 at 16th level.

Developed Magekin

At 10th level, your Evolution Point pool is increased by your breeder level.

Transposition

At 14th level, you can, as a bonus action, swap locations with your Magekin. If it is larger than you, you can appear in any space occupied by the Magekin. The Magekin must occupy the space that was occupied by you if able, or as close as possible if it is not able. You can not use this feature again until you complete a long rest.

Bond of the Swarm

For the Breeder with the Bond of the Swarm, strength is found in numbers. Their goal is to command a versatile army of Magekins, each contributing a unique skill to the collective power of the group. These Breeders are strategists, coordinating a diverse team that works in unison to overwhelm their enemies. With a focus on creating a horde of loyal companions, this Bond rewards those who value adaptability, strategy, and the overwhelming strength of a true swarm.

Swarm

At the 1st level, upon taking this Bond, you summon two Magekin with different abilities.

• Their size is tiny, and as such, their Strength is reduced by 4 and Constitution score is reduced by 2 (minimum 4), and their Dexterity is increased by 3, to a maximum of 20. Their walking speed is decreased by 5 feet. Natural Attacks your Magekin use a smaller damage die. (2d6 becomes 1d8, 1d8 becomes 1d6, 1d6 becomes 1d4, 1d4 becomes 1.)
• Selecting the Growth evolution instead causes your Magekins to become Small, which restores your Magekin's abilities to default. Selecting the Evolution again causes your Swarm to be Medium, and so on.
• These Magekins have only two-thirds of the evolution points they would normally have (rounded up).
• Additionally, when you choose this Bond, the hit die of your Magekins becomes 1d6 (or 4) plus their Constitution modifier.

Synergistic

At 3nd level, upon choosing the Bond of the Swarm, you develop a deeper connection with your Magekins, allowing them to work together more effectively. This ability grants the following benefits:

Coordinated Attack: When you or one of your Magekin makes a melee attack against a creature, you can use your reaction to allow one of the other Magekins in the Swarm to make an additional melee attack against the same creature. This additional attack occurs in the same turn and uses the same attack modifier as the Magekin making the original attack.

Joint Defense: If one of your Magekin adjacent to you or another Magekin is targeted by an attack, you can use your reaction to grant a +2 bonus to the Armor Class (AC) of the targeted Magekin for that specific attack. This bonus represents the joint defense and synergy among the members of the Swarm, making them harder to hit when they are close to each other.

Shared Path: When you move, you can choose to move any number of your adjacent Magekins along with you, without any additional movement cost. This allows you and your Magekins to position yourselves strategically on the battlefield, maintaining formation and enhancing the efficiency of your joint actions.

Disorienting Strike: When you or one of your Magekins hits a creature with an attack, the creature has disadvantage on the next attack it makes before the end of its next turn. This ability represents your and your Magekins capacity to confuse and disorient enemies through coordinated attacks and tactics.

Expanded Swarm

At the 6th level, you summon three Magekins, with different features as before. At 14th level, this increases to four. At level 18, this increases to 5.

Brood Bond

At 10th level, you and your Magekins gain advantage on attack rolls if at least one of you is adjacent to the target. Your Magekins also have advantage on saving throws against being banished. When you or one of your Magekins succeed on a saving throw, all adjacent Magekins can use their reaction to also succeed on the same saving throw.

Improved Brood Bond

At the 14th level, spells that you target on your Magekins and your Magekins target on themselves are shared amongst all your Magekins so they all receive the effects.

Bond of Unity

The Breeder with the Bond of Unity seeks a profound connection with their Magekin, aspiring to become one entity. Through this bond, the Breeder and Magekin fuse their physical and spiritual forms, achieving a deep synergy that allows them to act with perfect harmony. Their shared form combines the Breeder’s wisdom with the Magekin’s strength, creating a unique being that embodies the power of unity. This Bond reflects a path of balance, where Breeder and Magekin work as one to face any challenge together.

Fusion

Upon selecting this bond at 1st level, your Magekin is not an independent creature but an extension of your body, created through a ritual that completely binds it to you. This connection is reflected in the prominent and visible mark you bear, symbolizing your unique bond.

Your Magekin remains dormant until you activate it. To activate, you must perform a 1-minute ritual or use a bonus action or reaction, expending a 3rd-level spell slot or higher to summon it instantly. You can deactivate this ability at any time by using an action.When activated, your Magekin fuses with you, enveloping you in its natural form and altering your appearance. You and your Magekin become a single entity, sharing initiative, actions, and perception, acting as one creature. All your equipment remains functional while fused, and you can use it normally, along with all your abilities.

• Physical Attributes: Your Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution scores are replaced with those of the Magekin, while you retain your own Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores.
• Proficiencies and Features: You gain all the Magekin’s proficiencies, languages, and saving throws. Additionally, you can freely use all of the Magekin’s evolutions and features, including its Armor Class and movement speed, while fused.
• Temporary Hit Points: You gain the Magekin’s hit points as temporary hit points. If these temporary hit points are reduced to 0, the Magekin rolls death saving throws as normal. If the Magekin drops to 0 hit points, you revert to your original form and cannot use this ability again until you complete a long rest.
• Spells and Effects: Spells or effects that target you first affect the Magekin. If a banishment spell succeeds while in this form, the ability ends prematurely, and you are stunned for the spell’s duration or until you succeed on a Charisma saving throw with a DC equal to the spell’s DC.

When you gain the Lifelink feature, you may use your reaction to sacrifice your hit points to restore your temporary hit points or vice versa, respecting the normal limitations. Upon selecting this archetype, you gain proficiency with martial weapons and heavy armor. Additionally, you can perform the somatic components of spells while wielding a weapon and shield or a two-handed weapon or two Weapons.

If the Breeder reaches 0 hit points, the Magekin remains dormant within their body, inactive and unable to act. The Magekin is only freed when the Breeder dies, at which point it becomes a fully independent creature, no longer bound to the Breeder.

Inner Power

Starting at 1st Level, the bond between a Breeder and their Magekin is a reflection of ultimate sacrifice, trust, and shared strength. Through this connection, the Breeder can channel their own life force to unlock untapped potential within their Magekin, even at great personal cost.

By forging a deeper connection during a short rest, you can willingly sacrifice a portion of your vitality to empower your Magekin. Each point of your maximum hit points that you choose to sacrifice grants your Magekin 1.5 evolution points, which can be immediately allocated. However, this gift has its limits—your maximum hit points cannot be reduced by more than half through this ability.The life force you transfer to your Magekin is a permanent offering, reflecting your unwavering dedication. However, if your current Magekin is ever destroyed, the sacrificed vitality surges back to you, restoring your original maximum hit points as your bond seeks balance once more.

Synchronization

Starting at 3rd level, you can enter a full fusion state with your Magekin for one minute. This state of unity enhances your strength and focus, allowing you both to act as one, amplifying each other's combat capabilities and magical resilience. This ability signifies the next stage in the Breeder's evolution—one where he and the Magekin truly become extensions of one another, mirroring each other's instincts and strengths for a brief period of unparalleled harmony. By spending a action, you gain the following benefits while this ability is active:

• Once per turn, you can add your Intelligence modifier to your attack roll and damage roll.
• You gain a bonus equal to your Intelligence modifier for maintaining concentration on any spells.
• You can cast spells as a bonus action.

You remain in this state until you either end it, are forced to revert due to external effects, or fall unconscious. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier per long rest.

Fusion Harmony

Once you reach 6th level, you can now enter your Fused Form more freely. If your Magekin drops to 0 hit points during combat, you only need to wait for a short rest before being able to fuse again.

Additionally, you gain the ability to transform into your fused state more efficiently. You can now enter your Fused Form by using either a bonus action or by expending a 3rd-level spell slot or higher. If you choose to expend a spell slot, you can enter your fused state as a free action (without spending an action on your turn). This enhanced fusion allows you to seamlessly shift between forms and take full advantage of your combined power in the heat of battle.

Resilient Bond

At 10th level, the unbreakable connection between you and your Magekin sustains both your spirits and your bodies, granting a unique resilience to death. The first time you would drop to 0 hit points in any form, the bond between you both pulls you back from the brink, allowing you to immediately return to 1 hit point instead.

Once used, this feature cannot be used again until after a long rest.

True Synchronization

At 14th level, the Breeder's bond with their Magekin reaches a state of perfect unity. The Breeder can now fully access their Magekin's potential, transforming into its likeness and harnessing all its power. By using the Synchronization ability, the Breeder can assume the form of their Magekin, adopting all of its evolutions, form, and abilities. The Breeder's Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution scores are replaced with the Magekin's scores. Additionally, the Breeder may choose to absorb any equipment they are carrying, allowing items with continuous effects to remain functional while absorbed. In this form, the Breeder gains the Magekin's hit points as temporary hit points. The Breeder retains all of their class features.

The Breeder may stay in this form for a number of minutes per day equal to their Breeder level. This duration does not need to be consecutive but must be used in increments of at least 1 minute. The Breeder can end this effect as a bonus action. Once the full duration is expended, this ability recharges after a long rest. To use this ability, the Magekin and the Breeder must first be fused. During and after the use of this ability, they separate and remain unfused until the Breeder initiates the fusion again. During the duration of this ability, only the Breeder benefits from the first version of Synchronization.

Magekin Features

During the Magekin creation process, you define its characteristics, which remain until it dies. It will have the same alignment and proficiency bonus as its creator. Additionally, you must choose two saving throw proficiencies and three skills.

A Magekin acts according to its intelligence. If its Intelligence score is 7 or lower, it behaves like a loyal animal to its owner, unable to speak or use its skills. If its Intelligence score is 8 or higher, it acts as an intelligent creature, capable of speaking and using its skills. Regardless, the Magekin is a creature with its own initiative. If it has no orders to fulfill, it will prioritize staying close to its master and assisting with tasks. At times, it may engage in other mundane activities, but nothing too elaborate.

As a magical creature, the Magekin does not require food or water to survive. Additionally, the Magekin does not need to sleep, but due to its deep connection with its Breeder, it must rest for the same amount of time that the Breeder does. During this rest, the Magekin remains inactive, its essence lying dormant until the Breeder is ready to continue.

The Magekin's starting hit points are 12 plus their Constitution modifier. At subsequent Breeder levels, they gain 1d12 (or 7) + Constitution modifier for hit points. Their proficiency bonus also increases with the Breeder level. The Magekin is proficient with all of their natural attacks.

The banishment spell or any similar effect sends the Magekin to the plane where it was created. A Magekin on a different plane than its Breeder will try its utmost to return to the same plane as them, using all available resources.

A Magekin becomes incapacitated if reduced to 0 hit points and must then make death saving throws normally. If it fails, it is reduced to dust and permanently killed.

Magekin Rebirth Ritual

After your Magekin is destroyed, you can perform a ritual to create a new one. However, this process cannot be initiated immediately. Creating a new Magekin requires time, mental effort, and takes an emotional toll due to the special bond you share with your companion. To determine the number of days you must wait before starting the new ritual, roll a number of d6 equal to your Breeder level. The result is the number of days you must wait.

Example: A 5th-level Breeder loses their Magekin. They must wait for 5d6 days before they can begin the ritual to create a new Magekin.

If the DM is using the Madness rules, they may require you to make a Wisdom saving throw with a DC equal to 10 + half your Breeder level (rounded down). On a failure, consult the Long-Term Madness table and apply the appropriate effects.

Appearance

The physical appearance of the Magekin depends on its breeder but tends to resemble the type of creature it is along with the chosen basic form. Over time and as it evolves, its appearance changes according to the chosen evolutions. Additionally, it has a glowing rune on its body, also present on the breeder. This rune glows until the Magekin is alive; after its death, it becomes a scar. Both the rune and the scar, although they can be hidden by mundane means, cannot be removed by magic, such as alter self or polymorph.

Magekin Control

Due to the magical bond formed during the creation process, the Magekin has resistance to any effect that prevents it from performing a task assigned by its Breeder. Additionally, any effect or spell intended to make them attack each other is completely nullified. In addition, this bond grants the breeder the ability to telepathically command the Magekin, even if they are incapacitated, as long as they are on the same plane. Death terminates this connection, as if a Breeder dies, the Magekin now becomes a free creature.

Evolutions

Your Magekin can grow and adapt through evolutions that enhance its abilities, granting unique upgrades, powers, and features.Each time you gain a level, you receive Evolution Points (EP), which you can spend to evolve your Magekin.

• Once an evolution is chosen, it is permanent and cannot be removed or replaced.
• Whenever you wish to spend EP to evolve your Magekin, you must take a short rest. During this rest, you choose which evolutions to apply and how many EP to spend. By the end of your rest, your Magekin will naturally adapt to these changes.
• Whenever a feature requires a saving throw, the DC for that saving throw is equal to 8 + the Magekin's Constitution modifier + its proficiency bonus. Except for spells, in this case, replace the relevant ability modifier with Intelligence.
• The attack bonus for any ability of your Magekin is equal to its Strength modifier plus its proficiency bonus. Except for spells, in this case, replace the relevant ability modifier with Intelligence.
