Enchanter, Variant (5e Class)
From D&D Wiki
Enchanter[edit]
| “ | How beautiful a creature, such a lovely voice and those eyes! I think I have fallen in love. I would follow them to the end of the earth, if they'd allow me! | ” |
| —The latest victim of the Enchanter | ||
Enchanters use charming magic and features to win fights. Born with an other-worldly allure, the mere gaze of an Enchanter can make any creature swoon. Once they've gotten them in the palm of their hand, the Enchanter gets what they want out of their target and leaves without a trace. Over the years they have learned how to use their looks, body, and mind as a means to any end.
Creating an Enchanter[edit]
When you are looking to create an enchanter you have to wonder if anyones feelings toward you are ever real. Or if you will ever find true love? If there is someone out there immune to your loveliness? Why do you have so much appeal to others? You see yourself as just an average person and never quite grasp why others fall in love with you just by gazing upon you. Though you don't need to understand to use your power over others, but you will have to decide whether for good or evil.

The Enchanted Mark[edit]
At 1st level the enchanted mark can drawn on a creature's skin with charcoal, ink, or blood. This feature requires 1 bonus action to complete and the creature must succeed on Wisdom saving throw to resist. If the creature fails you gain a mental link with the creature, charming it. Once you charm it you may gave the creature one word commands (ex. stay, protect, attack "while pointing at person or single object"), creature must hear and see you. This feature can only be broken if the mark is destroyed. Creatures can make a Wisdom saving throw of every other turn to try to gain consciousness and destroy the mark if they're intelligence is equal to or more than yours. You can only do this feature once per long rest. You must create this personalized "mark" in a design that links you to it. What it means and how it links to you is yours to decide.
At 7th level you can give that creature one sentence commands (ex. stay here and protect camp.) as long as in can hear you. In addition the creature no longer needs to see you to become charmed. This ability no longer has a range and can still only be broken if the mark is destroyed. You can now do this feature twice per long rest.
At 14th level you master the art of combining ink with your blood to tattoo your mark onto a creature making it " permanent" (it can still be destroyed by burning the skin). You must take the time to mix the two substances carefully making only enough ink to make one mark per long rest. It takes 1 action to tattoo your mark onto a willing or unconscious creature. Tattooing your mark onto a creature makes the mental link stronger. The stronger link can now give you the ability to understanding what the mark creature is doing and give it advanced commands mentally. You can now do this feature 3 times per long rest. You are no longer able to be charmed while you have this link.
Spellcasting[edit]
You have learned to untangle and reshape the fabric of reality in control with your gestures and Voice. Your spells are part of your vast repertoire, magic that you can use in different situations.
- Cantrips
You know two cantrips of your choice from the bard and enchanter's spell list. You learn additional bard and enchanter's cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the enchanter's table.
- Spell Slots
The Enchanter's table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 2nd level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. For example, if you know the 1st-level spell cure wounds and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast charm person using either slot.
- Spells Known of 1st level and higher
You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the Enchanter's and bard spell list detailed at the end of the class description.

You may learn a number of spells equal to your half your enchanter's class (rounded down, minimum of 1) and can't learn more until you finish a long rest. You can only learn spells on the enchanter's or bard spell list and must be able to read the spellbook or scroll.
- Spellcasting ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your enchanter's spells. Your magic comes from the will and soul you pour into reality.

Lover's Touch[edit]
