Spellcasting

Your magical heirloom allows you to manipulate magical forces. While transformed as per Transformation, you gain the following:

Cantrips

You know two cantrips of your choice from the Bard spell list. You learn additional bard cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Sailor Scout table.

Spell Slots

The Sailor Scout table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st 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.

Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher

You know four 1st-level spells of your choice from the paladin spell list.

The Spells Known column of the Sailor Scout table shows when you learn more paladin spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots, as shown on the table. For instance, when you reach 3rd level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the paladin spells you know and replace it with another spell from the bard spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Spellcasting Ability

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your paladin spells. Your magic comes from the heart and soul you pour into the performance of your music or oration. 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 paladin 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

You can cast any paladin spell you know as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag.

Spellcasting Focus

You can use your heirloom as a spellcasting focus for your Paladin spells

Animal Familiar

At 1st level, you are permanently under the effects of find familiar. The familiar may only communicate with you telepathically when you are 30 feet, you can not share its senses, and you can not send it to a pocket dimension or transform it into another familiar.

Fighting Style

At 1st level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can't take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.

Archery

You gain a +2 bonus to ranged attack rolls you make with ranged weapons.

Defense

While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.

Great Weapon Fighting

When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an Attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the Two-Handed or Versatile property for you to gain this benefit.

Two Weapon Fighting

When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.

The Power of Friendship

At 2nd level, you become immune to the charmed or frightened conditions so long as there is an ally within 30 feet. Additionally, allies within 30 feet have advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened. At 18th level, you are immune to being charmed or frightened so long as you can see an ally, and allies within 60 feet are immune to being charmed or frightened.

Heirloom

At 2nd level, your Magical Heirloom manifests and begins to tune with your personality. You gain two Heirloom features of your choice. The Heirloom features may be found at the end of the class description. You may only take a feature once, unless the feature says otherwise. You gain an additional feature at 9th, 13th, and 17th levels.

Transformation

At 3rd level, you have learned to harness the power of your heirloom and transform into your Sailor form. As an action, you may transform into your Sailor form for 1 minute or until you are knocked unconscious as an action twice, regaining all uses at the end of a long rest. You gain additional transformations at 3rd, 6th, 12th, and 17th level. You may transform at will upon 20th level. The nature of your transformation will depend on your chosen magical nature, as Courage, Compassion, or Wit. While transformed, you gain the following:

• All Sailor Scouts in their Sailor form add their Charisma modifier to two ability scores of their choice. This can include Charisma as well, but does not effect the initial bonus.
• While you are transformed and not wearing armor, your AC is equal to 10 + your Dexterity Modifier + your Charisma modifier. You can use a shield and still gain this benefit.
• You become a Medium humanoid creature, regardless of what your original form was.

Mystical Weapons

While transformed can use your bonus action to create a mystical weapon in your empty hand. You can choose the form that this melee weapon takes each time you create it (see the list below for weapon options). You are proficient with it while you wield it. This weapon counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

Your mystical weapon disappears if it is more than 5 feet away from you for 1 minute or more. It also disappears if you create another mystical weapon, if you dismiss the weapon (no action required), or if you die.

When you transform, you may choose to summon one or more weapons from the list below:

• Up to two thrown weapons which, if thrown, dissipate and reappear in your hands at the end of your turn.
• Any nonmagical weapon with the ammunition property, which has unlimited ammunition.
• Up to two light weapons.
• A one-handed weapon and a shield.
• A two-handed weapon.

Mystical weapons are made of radiant energy, and shed bright light in a 5-foot radius. Since these weapons are made of light, they deal radiant damage, instead of their normal damage type. These radiant weapons cannot be wielded by anyone other than you.

You can transform magic weapons that match the listed options. The weapon is transformed by performing a special ritual while you hold the weapon. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest. You can then dismiss the weapon(s), shunting it into an extradimensional space, and it appears whenever you create your mystical weapon thereafter. You can affect an artifact, but not a sentient weapon in this way. The weapon ceases being your mystical weapon if you die, if you perform the 1-hour ritual on a different weapon, or if you use a 1-hour ritual to break your bond to it. The weapon appears at your feet if it is in the extradimensional space when the bond breaks.

Finishing Move

While Transformed you may use your Finishing Move:

Before you make an attack roll, you may declare a finishing move. If the attack hits, it is automatically a Critical Hit. Before you roll for damage, the target must make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. Enemies with more than 1/2 their hit points automatically succeed on this saving throw. On a failure, the attack does the maximum amount of damage possible. Once you declare a Finishing move you may not attempt another until you finish a short or long rest, and your transformation ends. At 9th Level, your finishing move deals an additional 2d8 + your level + your Charisma modifier damage. At 20th level it deals an additional 4d8 + your level + your Charisma modifier.

If used on an ally, this ability heals an amount of hit points equal to the damage they would have taken and does not make the saving throw.

Magic Nature

At 3rd level, you pick which nature your magic takes from the list of magic natures listed at the end of this class description. Your magic nature grants you additional features at 6th, 10th, and 14th level.

Extra Attack

Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Charming Hero

At 7th level, your charm extends to your mundane persona. While you are transformed and not wearing armor while outside of your Transformation, your AC is equal to 10 + your Dexterity Modifier + your Charisma modifier. You can use a shield and still gain this benefit.

True Transformation

At 11th level, your transformation truly transcend your being. When you undergo Transformation, the process reinvigorates your body. You can transform as long as you are conscious, even if you are not capable of taking actions. If you are incapacitated, paralyzed, petrified, poisoned, restrained, or stunned, transforming immediately ends any number of those conditions currently affecting you.

Furthermore, your transformation can protect you from mortal harm. If you would be reduced to 0 hit points, or killed outright while you are transformed, you may end your Transformation in order to drop to 1 hit point instead.

Strength of Spirit

At 15th level, your spirit shows through at all times. When you need to make a saving throw using an ability other than Charisma, you may choose to add your Charisma bonus to that saving throw. You may do this a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier. You regain all expended uses when you complete a long rest.

Magical Nature

Courage

Show of Bravery

As a reaction you may encourage an ally, allowing them to reroll a failed saving throw against being Charmed or Frightened. This can be used up to your Charisma modifier times, regaining all uses at the end of a short or long rest.

Weapon Training

At 3rd level, you gain proficiency with martial weapons, medium armor, heavy armor, and shields. You may wear armor in your transformation, but must bond with it by performing a special 1-hour ritual while wearing the armor. You may add your Charisma modifier to the armor's AC while transformed after this ritual. If you perform this ritual on another armor, the original loses his effect.

Inspiring Strike

At 6th level, you rally your allies as you battle. When you take the Attack action, you may give an ally you are able to see advantage on their next attack roll. You may do this a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier, regaining all uses at the end of a long rest.

Radiant Blast

On a successful hit, the attack deals an additional 1d6 + your Charisma modifier radiant damage. While you are transformed, the damage increases to 1d8 + your Charisma modifier radiant damage.

Compassion

Show of Compassion

At 3rd level, you gain proficiency in Persuasion and Insight. If you already have proficiency, you double your proficiency in that skill.

While you are transformed, you may use your reaction to add 1d4 to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw made by a friendly creature within 30 feet of you who can see you.

As a reaction while you are transformed, friendly creatures within 30 feet of you may roll 1d6 and add the result to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw they make before the beginning of your next turn.
