Spellcasting[edit]
Your spellcasting revolves around your ability to focus and manifest your inner flame. You choose cantrips and spells from the Sand Manipulator spell list.
- Cantrips
At 1st level, you know four cantrips of your choice from your Sand Manipulator spell list. You learn additional Sand Manipulator cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Sand Manipulator table.
- Spell Slots
The Sand Manipulator 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.
For example, if you know the 1st-level spell burning hands and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast burning hands using either slot.
- Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher
At first level, you know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the Sand Manipulator spell list.
The Spells Known column of the Sand Manipulator table shows when you learn more Sand Manipulator spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. 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 spells you know and replace it with another spell, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
- Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your spells, since the power of your magic relies on your ability to regulate and manifest your inner flame. 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 spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
- Innate Focus
As a conduit of magical power, you do not require material components to cast Sand Manipulator spells, provided the component is not consumed by the casting of the spell.
Sand Mark[edit]
At 1st level, you can mark an opponent for death by the sand. As a bonus action, you can spend 1 Sand Point to leave an opponent Marked.Marked opponents will have a circle of rising sand of 5ft in their surroundings, and at the end of their turns they and any hostile creatures within the area take xd6 Force damage. With x being the spellslot you used. You cannot more than one opponent at once.
Sand Path[edit]
At 2nd level, you chose a sand path. Choose between Sand Shaman, Sand Assassin, Sand Thief, all detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 2nd and again at 6th, 10th, 14th and 17th level.
Sand Manipulation[edit]
Beggining at 3rd level, you have learned how to manipulate the sand around you with almost perfect precision. You may spend 1 spell slot to do one of the following:
- Sand Defense
As a reaction you use the sand as a defensive mechanism, and spend 1 spell slot to gain 1 + the number of spell slot spent to your AC.
- Sand
Ability Score Improvement[edit]
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.
