Evoker

The Evoker is a fan made class based on a character in the PC game Slay The Spire.

Evokers resemble Sorcerers, in that their abilities to conjure elemental forces are inherent. However, there the similarities blur, as the Evoker's elemental abilities are derived from their internal energy and are more structured and organised than what a sorcerer's blood brings forth. Evokers are rare to see in the world, and legend speaks of one who was cursed to climb a monstrous tower, to try and destroy it from within for all eternity, never knowing rest.

Please do not try to exploit this class' features.

Evocation Path

At 1st level, you choose a path that you follow, such as the Path of Lightning. The path you choose grants you features at 1st level and again at 2nd, 9th, and 17th level. Any feature which requires the use of an attack can not be used more than once per turn.

Orbs

The Evoker has the ability to channel Orbs into her Orb Slots based on the abilities her Path provides. If all Orb Slots are filled when you channel your next Orb, the Orb channeled in the first slot is automatically Evoked, and all other Orbs move up 1 Orb Slot. All orbs last for a total of 1 minute. Orbs are made up of the Element they represent, and have an AC of 10 + your level and each have 2 Hit Points, however they can only be hit by Magic or Magical Weapons. whenever the Evoker makes an [Orb] attack, the attack does not count against your allotted Attack Actions. You can not rearrange channeled Orbs. Each Orb has the following effects:

Lightning Orb

The Evoker makes an attack for each Lightning Orb to a random enemy within 30ft for 1d4 + [Focus] Lightning damage at the end of her turn, or for 1d8 + [Focus] Lightning damage when Evoked.

Dark Orb

Each Dark Orb starts at a value of 6 + [Focus] and increases by 6 + [Focus] at the end of every turn, to a maximum total of 6 at 1st level. This maximum increases by 6 for every 2 Evoker levels up to a final maximum of 60 by level 10 and does not increase further. When Evoked, the Evoker makes an attack to deal the total added value as Necrotic damage to an enemy within 30ft that has the lowest hit points.

Frost Orb

Each Frost Orb grants 2 + [Focus] [Temporary HP] at the end of your turn, or 5 + [Focus] [Temporary HP] when Evoked. This [Temporary HP] lasts until the start of your next turn.

Wind Orb

The Evoker makes an attack for each Wind Orb to a random enemy within 15ft for 1d4 Force damage at the end of her turn, and, upon a successful hit, pushes the target back 10 + 5 times [Focus] feet, or 10 + 10 times [Focus] feet when Evoked.

Your evoker abilities use your dexterity to hit and fir saving throws

Orb Slots

The Evoker has 3 Orb Slots that each can hold 1 Orb. When you Channel an Orb it goes into the first available Orb Slot. Only the Orb in the first Orb Slot can be Evoked.

Evoker's Protection

The powers that flow through your core grant you an AC equal to 10 + Constitution Modifier + Dexterity Modifier when you are wearing no armor.

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.
