This class is intended to replace cleric and druid in the Hyrule campaign setting, and is designed for the variant rules it uses.
It can effectively be used in a traditional setting, but may function best if the campaign uses the Spell Points variant rule (DMG, page 288) or equivalent.

Sage

In ancient times, the gods blessed a small handful of humanoids with sacred magical power. Although these chosen few had little else in common, they all had sound judgment and uncanny wisdom. Due to these similarities, the chosen few have historically become formally known as the Seven Sages. It is believed by many that these few were granted such immense magical power that they became immortal and now dwell eternally in the Sacred Realm.

In the countless generations that have passed, few if any beings have been granted the immense and distinct power of these legendary Seven Sages. Nonetheless, there have been a few who have manifested similar magical capabilities of a mysterious, seemingly divine origin. Usually but not always, these magical capabilities originate when the individual completes a great task of faith or willpower, such as a pilgrimage or an act of self-sacrifice. From the point this supernatural power manifests, that individual is known as a sage. It is believed by some that all sages can somehow trace their lineage back to the Seven Sages of legend.

Although a sage can become a powerful force of magic, their spells tend to be more subtle than those of a researcher. Their magic is more often focused more on the breadth of what can be accomplished over time, rather than the height of what can be accomplished in a single moment.

Although it is not always inherently obvious from looking at a sage, each one embodies a different essence or domain that shapes that particular sage’s supernatural gifts. The most renowned of these elements include Earth, Fire, Forest, Light, Lightning, Shadow, Water, and Wind, though others exist.

According to legend, there also exists a sage reliant not on a element, but on the very fabric of existance. These sages, known as Sages of Time, have gifts that are much tougher to harness, even compared to other Sages. As a result, Sages of Time typically spend large parts of their life unaware or unable to control their power, though many have also learned to harness their powers in times of great need.

A sage is usually, but not always, of a good alignment.

Sage Domain

At 1st level, you choose a sage domain. This domain generally describes the landscape or aspect of nature from which your powers are drawn. Your domain usually correlates to your upbringing, background, or race. A sage who grew up near an active volcano, for instance, is most often a Sage of Fire. You usually discover your domain and your supernatural powers when you complete a great task of will or faith, or experience a personal trauma.

Your sage domain affects what sage spells you can cast, and may grant you bonus proficiencies at 1st level. Your choice also grants you features at 2nd level, and again at 6th, 10th, 14th, and 18th levels.

See below for details on each of the eight most plentiful domains: Earth, Forest, Fire, Light, Lightning, Shadow, Water, Wind, and Time.

Spellcasting

You draw your powers from vague forces derived from the land and the gods, and even you do not completely understand them. You cast spells through instinct and faith.

Cantrips

You initially know two cantrips of your choice from the sage spell list appropriate to your sage domain, though Sages of Time learn cantrips and prepare spells somewhat differently. You learn additional cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Sage table.

Spell Level	MP Cost
1st	2
2nd	3
3rd	5
4th	6
5th	7
6th	9
7th	10
8th	11
9th	12

Magic Meter

At 1st level, you gain a number of magic points equal to your Wisdom modifier. At 2nd level and every sage level thereafter, you gain 5 more magic points. To cast a spell, you must expend a number of magic points dependent on the level of the spell. See the adjacent table.

You can cast a spell at a higher level than normal by expending additional magic points. For example, casting fly, a 3rd-level spell, normally costs 5 magic points. It can be cast as a 5th level spell, allowing it to affect more creatures, by expending the magic points needed to cast a 5th level spell—which is 7 magic points.

Your magic points are fully restored after a long rest. Some class features and magic items can otherwise restore magic points.

Spellcasting Focus

You can use a musical instrument in which you are proficient as a spellcasting focus for your sage spells. You can instead use either a divine focus or a druidic focus.

Preparing Spells

You prepare the list of sage spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the sage spell list appropriate to your sage domain. When you do so, choose a number of sage spells equal to your Wisdom modifier + your sage level (minimum of one spell). The spells cannot exceed your Max Spell Level, as listed on the Sage table.

You can also change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of sage spells requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

Spellcasting Ability

Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for sage spells, since you learn your spells through instinct, and exert them through willpower. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a spell learned through this class and when making an attack roll with one.

Sacrifice

Starting from 3rd level, you can sacrifice some of your own health to heal or harm others.

As an action, you can expend two of your Sage Hit Dice to cast inflict wounds or cure wounds at its lowest level without expending magic points.

Hit Dice you expend with this feature cannot be used to regain hit points or otherwise until they are restored (such as by completing a long rest).

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. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

If your campaign is using the feats optional rule, you can replace this feature with a feat for which you qualify.

Bless or Bane

Beginning at 5th level, you can channel your supernatural gifts into a powerful boon or a debilitating curse. This power coalesces into either a Blessing or a Bane, which the Sage chooses when they invoke this feature. A creature with a Blessing or a Bane gives off a faint magical aura that can instantly be detected by Sages or by creatures that can sense magic (such as one under the effects of detect magic).

Once you create a Blessing or a Bane, it lasts for one minute or until you fall unconscious. After you successfully bestow a creature with a Blessing or a Bane twice, you cannot do so again until after you complete a long rest.

Bless

As an action, you can Bless one other creature within 5 feet of you, filling them with resolve and warding them from harm. Once per turn while Blessed, the creature can choose to add +2 to one attack roll or saving throw that it makes (no action required).

When a creature you have Blessed rolls a saving throw, you can use your reaction to add +10 to the Blessed creature's roll. If this saving throw was a death saving throw, the blessing ends when the creature becomes stable, regains 1 or more hit point(s), or dies. Otherwise, the Blessing ends immediately after the saving throw is succeeded or failed.

A creature can only benefit from one Blessing from a Sage at a time.

Bane

As an action, you can target a creature within 5 feet of you with a curse of lethargy. The target must succeed a Charisma saving throw against your Spell Save DC or become cursed with a Bane. Once per turn when the affected creature makes an attack roll or saving throw, you can cause them to suffer a -2 penalty to that attack roll or saving throw (no action required).

When a creature you have afflicted with a Bane rolls an ability check or an attack roll, you can use your reaction to subtract -10 from that roll. If the creature you have given a Bane fails their roll as a result, the Bane that creature suffers immediately ends.

A creature can only be afflicted with one Bane from a Sage at a time, and can end its effect early with remove curse, greater restoration, or similar magic.

Divine Body

At 7th level, the divine magic that flows from you has begun to augment your body.
You have advantage on any Constitution saving throw you make to go without food or water, or to prevent disease.

Sacred Sage

Beginning at 9th level, your capacity to Bless or Bane begins to grow. You can now use your Bless or Bane feature one additional time (for a total of three times) before you need to complete a long rest.

At 15th level, your powers again grow, allowing you to Bless or Bane up to four creatures before needing to complete a long rest.

Immortal Body

At 19th level, the divine magic surges and protects your body so strongly that you do not need to eat or drink, you are immune to disease, and you no longer age.

Miracle

When you reach 20th level, you can call upon the gods and the forces that be to reshape the world in a dramatic fashion. As an action, you can cast the wish spell without expending magic points.

Once you use this feature, you must complete a long rest before you can do so again.

You draw power from subterranean caverns most of all, but can draw some strength from any area of dry earth. The magic you wield deals in large amount with ground, caves, tremors, stone, gems, and to some extent the afterlife.

Bonus Proficiencies

You gain proficiency with medium armor and shields (but not heavy shields), as well as battleaxes, crushers, flails, and warhammers.

You can read, write, and speak your choice of either the Goro or Stal language.

Grit

At 2nd level, your Sage Hit Dice increase in size to d10s, and your maximum hit points increases by 2.
Whenever you gain a Sage level after gaining this feature, you use your enhanced Hit Dice (d10s) for the purposes of determining your maximum hit point increase.

Courage

Starting from 6th level, you have advantage on saving throws against being frightened or charmed.

Earthen Safeguard

Also at 6th level, you gain resistance to acid damage and poison damage, and you gain advantage on saving throws against being poisoned.

Any creature currently under the effect of your Blessing also gains the benefits of this feature.

Down to Earth

Beginning from 10th level, you can augment your curses with earthen pull. Any creature you have afflicted with a Bane that attempts to move away from you treats that movement as difficult terrain. Movement towards you is not affected.

When a creature you have afflicted with a Bane begins its movement, you can use your reaction to reduce its speed to 0 until the end of the current turn. After you take this reaction, the Bane you have afflicted that creature with immediately ends.

Tremorsense

Beginning at 14th level, you can detect the presence of other creatures via vibrations through the earth. You can use this sense to detect and pinpoint the origin of vibrations within 15 feet of you, provided that you and the source of the vibrations are in contact with the same ground or substance. Tremorsense can’t be used to detect flying or incorporeal creatures.

Stalwart Stance

Starting at 18th level, you automatically succeed on any saving throw to avoid being knocked prone or to be moved against your will.

You draw power primarily from active volcanoes but can also draw some from mountains in general. As a sage of fire, you likely have a vigorous spirit. The magic you wield often deals with flame and heat.

Wise Defense

Starting at 2nd level, you can rely more on predicting and reading opponents' attacks to evade them, rather than relying on your reaction time or nimbleness of movement. Whenever you would add your Dexterity modifier to your AC, you can choose to add your Wisdom modifier instead. You cannot do this if you are already adding your Wisdom modifier to your AC, such as with a monk's Unarmored Defense.

Climbing

At 6th level, you gain a climb speed equal to your base walking speed.

Fire Resistance

Also at 6th level, you gain resistance to fire damage.

If you otherwise have fire resistance, you instead gain advantage on saving throws to mitigate or avoid fire damage.

At 10th level, you learn to augment your cursing capability.

A creature you have afflicted with a Bane loses any resistance or immunity it has to fire damage.

Beginning at 14th level, you can focus to detect and pinpoint objects and creatures around you based on how hot or cold they are.
At the start of your turn, you can expend 1 Magic Point in order to gain blindsight out to a range of 30 feet (no action required). This blindsight lasts until the start of your next turn.

Climber

You gain a climb speed equal to your base walking speed. If you take damage from falling, you can use your reaction to halve the damage you take from the fall.

You gain the druidcraft cantrip, which does not count against your number of Cantrips Known. If you already know this cantrip, you can gain another cantrip from your sage spell list.

You gain proficiency in the Animal Handling skill. If you would otherwise be proficient with Animal Handling, you can instead add twice your proficiency bonus to checks involving this skill.

Any creature currently under the effect of your Blessing also gains the benefits of this feature.

Restrictive Ground

At 10th level, you learn to augment your curses.

If a creature you have afflicted with a Bane moves towards you, its moves as though impeded by difficult terrain. Creatures that are flying or incorporeal are unaffected.

When a creature you have afflicted with a Bane begins its movement, you can use your reaction to force that creature to make a Dexterity saving throw against your Spell Save DC. On a failure, the creature you have targeted becomes restrained until the start of its next turn, at which time the Bane on it ends. On a success, the Bane that creature suffers ends immediately.

Nature's Sanctuary

Starting at 14th level, your connection to the natural world allows you to instinctively ward off those who would do you harm.

As a Sage of Time, your magic is powerful, but does not flow freely as it does for every other Sage. You are able to choose your spells and cantrips from any sage domain's spell list. However, when you complete a long rest, you lose access to some of the spells you have prepared.

Before preparing spells as a result of completing a long rest, you must randomly choose a number of your prepared spells equal to your proficiency bonus. When you choose a spell in this way, you must replace it with another spell you are able to learn. Additionally, once you are forced to replace a spell in this manor, you cannot learn it again until you complete your next long rest.

Whenever you gain a level in this class, choose one of your cantrips. You must replace the chosen cantrip with another cantrip from a sage domain's spell list.

Extra Cantrip

At 2nd level, you gain a cantrip unique to the Sages of Time: sylvanism. This cantrip does not count against your spells known, and it cannot be changed as a result of your Troubled Spellcaster feature.

Equalize Fate

Also at 2nd level, you gain the ability to stabilize uncertain points in time. When a creature you can see within 60 feet of yourself is about to roll a d20 with advantage or disadvantage, you use your reaction to prevent the roll from being affected by both advantage and disadvantage.

You can use take this reaction a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Time Tamper

Starting at 6th level, your control over of time has progressed to you being able to prioritize beneficial outcomes.

When another creature you can see makes an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you can expend 3 magic points to roll a d4 (no action required). The result is either applied as a bonus or penalty (your choice) to the d20 roll.

Once per turn, you can use this feature on a creature you have given a Blessing or Bane by only expending 1 magic point.

Predictable Outcomes

Beginning at 10th level, you've learned how to greatly reduce the chance of failure when it comes to familiar tasks. Whenever you make an ability check that lets you add your full proficiency bonus, you can treat a d20 roll of 9 or lower as a 10.

Temporal Interrupt

Beginning at 14th level, you learn to curse creatures by complicating their passage of time.

When a creature you have afflicted with a Bane begins their turn, they must choose to either lose their bonus action, reaction, or have their speed set to 0.

When a creature you have afflicted with a Bane ends their turn, you can use your reaction to attempt to bend the flow of time around your target. They must succeed a Charisma saving throw against your Spell Save DC or be temporarily frozen in time, which renders them unconcious, immune to all damage, and unable to be affected by other creatures, objects, or effects until the end of their next turn.
A creature that is rendered unconcious in this way does not become prone.

After you take this reaction, the Bane you have afflicted that creature with immediately ends.
