Medium (5e Class)

Medium

Mediums use their raw charisma to draw attention from spirits which might help them in tough situations.

Diverse Objectives

A Medium is a person able to call upon the spirits for help and advice. The specifics of the call and their goals are completely diverse, some of them discovered this talent completely by accident when were doing mundane tasks, others have such strong faith and will-power that they attract the attention of spirits that think this person is someone deserving of their power, there are even some which captivated so intensively someone that this person is willing to seek for this Medium even after death and obviously the bad people, the ones who force lost souls to come for there dirty service. One thing that will always be the same among all medium is the deep connection they have with the other planes, not only the dead, but maybe just someone bound to another distant plane.

Regardless of how their subordinates came to be, a Medium is a skilled leader, able to employ the skills of both their subordinates and allies to their maximum potential.

Commanding Trait

At level 1, you choose three Commanding Traits from the following list. These reflect how you and your subordinates operate. You gain two additional traits at 6th level, and one more at 15th level. At any time you may gain a Commanding Trait, you may also exchange one trait for another.

Assassin

• Subordinate applied: Advisor, Artists.

Your Subordinate loses the Mostly Harmless trait if they are an Advisor and they gain a Simple Weapon Proficiency, and adds your proficiency modifier to their Dexterity (Stealth) rolls.

The amount of d6s increase by one every time your proficiency bonus increases.

• Subordinate applied: Advisor, Champion, Guards.

Your Subordinate loses the Mostly Harmless trait if they are an Advisor and they gain a Simple Weapon Proficiency. Additionally, all your Advisor and Warrior Subordinates have advantage on all attack rolls made with weapons. A Subordinate that uses the Attack action grants advantage on all attack rolls against them until the start of their next turn.

Arcane Scholar

• Subordinate applied: Advisor, Champion.

Your Subordinate loses the Mostly Harmless trait if they are an Advisor. Additionally, your Subordinate can now cast 1 Cantrip of the Warlock Spell List. At level 10 This increases to 3 Cantrips. The cantrip(s) can be changed every time you level up.

Death Before Dishonor

Additionally, you can cast your spells through your advisor in the same way as if it was a familiar, but it will use a higher level spell slot and it will behave like a base level one, meaning that at 3rd level you can cast a cantrip using a first level spellslot and at 7th level a 1st level spell using a 2nd level spellslot.

Medium Origin

At level 2, you gain the powers from your origins in the medium world.

Spellcasting

By 3rd level, you have learned to draw on certain magics to cast spells taught to you by the spirits you encounter and speak with through meditation and dreams.

Preparing and Casting Spells

The Medium table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells. To cast one of your Medium spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

You prepare the list of Medium spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the Medium spell list. When you do so, choose a number of Medium spells equal to your Wisdom modifier + half your Medium level rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

For example, if you are a 8th-level Medium, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Wisdom of 14, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell cure wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells.

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

You have access to all the spells of appropriate level from the Warlock Spell list.

Spellcasting Ability

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your Medium spells, since your power derives from the connection you have with the realm of spirits. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Medium spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

    Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

    Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Ritual Casting

As a medium you can't take use of Ritual Casting and you can only cast a spell with the Ritual tag as you would cast any other spell.

Ability Score Improvement

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.

Combat Commands

When you reach 7th level, your tactical mind allows you to determine how to effectively employ the skills of your allies and Subordinates. Choose 1 Command from the following list. You gain additional one Command at 13th level and at 17th level.

Expend Resources

As a reaction to either you or an ally taking damage, you may sacrifice one of your Subordinates within 30ft of the ally to negate that damage.

Fire For Effect

As an action, choose an ally who can hear you. Before the beginning of your next turn, if that ally uses a ranged spell, ability, attack, etc. that would cause one or more enemy creatures to make a Dexterity saving throw, those creatures have disadvantage on that saving throw. Additionally, any effects that would reduce the damage taken from the effect are nullified for the purpose of that effect.

Focus Fire

As an action, choose a creature you can see within 120 ft. Until the beginning of your next turn, attack rolls by you and your Subordiantes against the designated target have advantage.

Reposition

As an action, choose an ally or subordinate who can hear you. That ally may use their reaction to move up to their move score.

Retreat

As an action, choose an ally or subordinate who can hear you. That ally may use their reaction to move up to half their move score without provoking attacks of opportunity.

Brace

As an action, until the beginning of your next turn, your Subordinates can make opportunity attacks against creatures that enter their reach.

Tactical Assessment

At 10th level, during your first turn during combat, you may use a bonus action to cause all allies who can hear you to move up to half their movement speed. Allies within 30ft of you when initiative is rolled have a +2 bonus to their initiative at the start of combat and for its duration.

Spirit Ascendant

At 20th level, you have Truesight 30ft and can become Ethereal at will as a bonus action. You regain physical form as a bonus action. (You have a max use of this equal to your Wisdom modifier, to use the ability again you must take a short or long rest)

Subordinates Specifics

You have a loyal band of followers, who appear when summoned.

Summoned followers appear in an empty space within 10 feet of you.

If a Subordinate is reduced to 0 hit points, they disappear, and that Subordinate cannot be summoned again until have finished a short or long rest.

Whenever you finish a short or long rest, your Subordinates recover all of their lost hit points.

You decide upon the appearance of your Subordinates when you gain access to them. This cannot be changed later, unless you have the master of disguises Commanding Trait, regardless of how many times a Subordinate is summoned or dismissed. They may be a humanoid race, or the same race as you (DM's discretion). Regardless of appearance, Subordinates have the stats presented here; do not add any modifiers based on their race or appearance.

Spirit Subordinates have Spirit Equipment on them that reflects who they were and how they fought. This equipment is part of their nature and cannot be removed from them.

Subordinates know every language you know.

Note that Spirits do not smell when considering detection by hounds or such.

Subordinates Controlling

You may summon or dismiss one of your Subordinates as an action. This creates a slight noise, audible to 30 ft.

By default, you can completely control one Subordinate without using any kind of action, you can control an additional one if you use your bonus action and you can control 2 additional ones if you use your bonus action and action. You can't control more than 3 subbordinates at your turn.

Controlling your Subordinates require Concentration, if you lose concentration, you will need to spend an action to concentrate on them again, while not concentrating they will just stand still and you can't control them by any means without using an action to control them again.

You can not control a Subordinate more than 120ft away from you, unless you have the Expanded Reach Commanding Trait.

You may only have one Subordinate of each type summoned at a time.

Alternate rule

Alternatively, you can change the second paragraph of the Subordinates Controlling topic into this rule:

On each of your turns, you can use a bonus action to vocally command any subordinate you made if the spirit is within 120 feet of you (if you control multiple subordinates, you can command any or all of them at the same time, issuing the same command to each one). You decide what action the creature will take and where it will move during its next turn, or you can issue a general command, such as to guard a particular chamber or corridor. If you issue no commands, the creature only defends itself against hostile creatures. Once given an order, the creature continues to follow it until its task is complete.

If you want to give specific commands to more than one subordinate on your turn you will have to expend a spellslot equal to the subordinates vallue on this table, you can control as many subordinates as you want on your turn as long as you have the spellslots to expend.
