This page needs grammatical help. Reason: Bad and unclear wording throughout. Spells description are especially undecipherable
|
|
This page is of questionable balance. Reason: Many features and design choices make no sense or are counter-productive. Why does this class get spell slots if it has mana and a way to cast spells using it? Levels of play are ignored (another attack should only be gained at levels 5,11,17 or 20). Most confusingly, this class has 11 subclass features, and tasks the dungeon master with designing all of them. Why would such an extremely subclass-heavy class have no designed subclasses? This class either needs more class features and much less subclass features, or a varied set of example subclasses and a list of subclass design principles to help DM's implement the damn thing.

|
This page is not formatted correctly. Reason: Spells need own pages.

This page is incomplete and/or lacking flavor. Reason: Missing how many spells of what level you can learn. Missing introduction.

Clover Grimoire User[edit]
Grimoire Users can be Various mages from the Clover, Diamond, Heart, and Spade Kingdoms, etc. A grimoire is a book that allows its user to cast specific spells that are far in advance of their own natural magical abilities. It is one of the primary sources of power for the Magic Knights and other mages. The Magic Knights being an organization where selected mages enter and become part of the Kingdom's military as a Magic Knight. The organization has a noble duty, protecting the Kingdom from various threats, such as invasions from foreign countries, to local crimes within the Kingdom itself.
This class was made from aspects of Black Clover, meaning i took tons of creative liberties when making the class, tho again it is up to the DM/GM if they want it in their campaign.

Clover System[edit]
- 1 leaf clover books usually don't have a lot of power backing them, these usually have the base Element(s), rarely does a one leaf clover get a mixed element.
- 2 leaf clover books have a tad bit more power than 1 leaf clovers, can have single element and double Element mixtures.
- 3 leaf clover books have even more power than the prior books, these are a symbol of Nobility and power, these can use all Element mixtures.
- 4 leaf clover books brings good omen to the owner, and can only be received by a truly exceptional mage.
Mana Points[edit]
Starting at 1st level, you gain access to spells others would not normally have access to without careful study. Your access to these are represented by Mana Points. Your clover grimoire user level determines the number of points you have, as shown in the Mana Points column of the Clover Grimoire User table.
In order to cast spells in this way, reference the table below. Each cast causes you to expend the stated number of points. You cannot go below 0 points. You regain all expended Mana Points at the end of a long rest and half that number after a short rest.
| Spell Level | Mana Points Cost |

Grimoire[edit]
At 1st level, you gain a spellbook that has been fortified by an immense amount of magic to increase your natural magical ability. This spellbook is unable to be destroyed, and will return to your possession by any means possible at the beginning of the turn after it leaves your possession. Upon death your grimoire will be destroyed. You must roll a 1d100+1d10 for an Element* that your grimoire will use, it can be a mixture of the base Elements*, Earth, Wind, Fire, Water. Each spell within your Grimoire costs Mana Points. In addition all spells are custom to you and no two Grimoires are the same. *be sure to check with your DM if you can use your Element of choice and how it works!
All of these are emphasized by magic at the end of their names.
