Cantrips[edit]
As a Grand Caster you have access to all Cantrips but can only know up to what your level dictates. Intelligence is your spell-casting modifier.
- Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
- Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + Intelligence modifier
Spellcasting[edit]
At 1st level, you immediately gain the spellcasting ability of all types of classes, because of this you can learn spells from all spell list. You also ignore the spells material requirements.
Spellbook[edit]
At 1st level, you have a spellbook containing six 1st-level spells of your choice from any class. Your spellbook is the repository of the all the spells you know, except your cantrips, which are fixed in your mind.
Learning Spells of 1st Level and Higher[edit]
Each time you put a level in Grandcaster, you can add two spells of your choice to your spellbook. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots, as shown on the Grandcaster table. On your adventures, you might find other spells that you can add to your spellbook, in order to do so you must have either seen it or read it in another book. The time it takes to copy a spell to your spellbook is based on the level it is, 30minutes per spell level however this can be done over a short or long rest based on the level of spell.
Spell Slots[edit]
The Grandcaster table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st through 9th level. The table also shows what the level of those slots is; all of your spell slots are the same level. To cast one of your spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a spell slot. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a short or long rest.
For example, when you are 5th level, you have two 3rd-level spell slots. To cast the 1st-level spell witch bolt, you must spend one of those slots, and you cast it as a 3rd-level spell.
Magical Aura[edit]
At 1st level, your magic is so powerful, sometimes it leaks into an aura around you. For every spell you have, you gain an aura of 10 feet. This is purely for esthetic but the DM may have creatures who are not used to such magical prowess to feel sick or other effects.
Observant[edit]
At 2nd level, you gain proficiency and advantage on perception and investigation checks.
Arcane Mastery[edit]
At 2nd level, you choose an Arcane Mastery from the list of available Masteries, you may choose to focus in one of the many types of magic available to you, or be a wild card and not master any specific, but be amazing at them all. Your choice grants you features at 2nd level and again at 6th, 10th, 14th, and 18th level.
Smart Versatility[edit]
At 3rd level, you add your Intelligence modifier to your hit points per level.
Magical sickness[edit]
At 3rd level, your magic is so powerful, that even you cant handle it if you use too much. Whenever you cast spells with a total level higher than half your level, roll a d20, if you get a 15 or lower you gain spell sickness: every time you cast a spell you lose triple the health equal to the spell level, at the end of every turn you make a DC18Constitution save, if you succeed you are cured from spell sickness and can not get it until your next long rest (or your races equivalent to one)
If you get 16 or higher you are affected with magic burnout: you lose half your health, lose all your spell slots and every action you make has double disadvantage.
This is to make sure when you are casting magic not to go over board with your near limitless power.
Ability Score Increase[edit]
When you reach 4th level, and again at 6th, 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.

Collector[edit]
At 18th level, you have immense skill at finding rare things. When searching if you find a magical item make a investigation check against a DC the DM creates if you pass you find a extra magic item. The DM then rolls a percentile die to determine the rarity of the item using the following chart.
