Sporitech (5e Class)

Sporitech[edit]

Introduction[edit]

In the shadowy undergrowth where ancient secrets lurk within every spore, the Sporitech emerges as a master of the arcane mycological arts. These erudite artificers craft an extraordinary symbiosis with fungi, threading the delicate boundary between nature and alchemy. By tapping into the uncharted magic of mushrooms and the intricate networks of mycelium, Sporitechs not only communicate with the earth but command its hidden forces.

Cloaked in robes tinged with the earthy hues of forest floors, these artificers cultivate exotic spores that swirl around their workshops like otherworldly constellations. Their laboratories are living, breathing ecosystems, vibrant with bioluminescent fungi and pulsating molds that respond to their creator’s touch. Every bottle, every vial holds a fragment of the forest’s soul—carefully harvested, respectfully harnessed.

Sporitechs are scholars of the silent, yet ever-present, dialogue of the woods. With a whisper, they can cause the ground to swell with sudden growth, sprouting barricades or ensnaring foes with grasping fungal tendrils. With a gesture, toxic spores cloud the air to bewilder and subdue, or healing molds knit flesh and bone with miraculous swiftness. In their presence, the battlefield transforms into a garden of arcane possibilities.

Their knowledge extends beneath the surface, where the vast mycelial networks spread like the world’s nervous system. Through these, Sporitechs sense disturbances in the natural order, communicate across vast distances, or even influence the land’s memories embedded within the roots of ancient trees.

Thus, a Sporitech is both a guardian and a harbinger—a keeper of ancient natural wisdom and a pioneer in the forgotten alchemy of fungi. Where they tread, the line between the seen and unseen blurs, and the primordial forces of nature heed their call.

Creating a Sporitech[edit]

When you create a Sporitech, you step into the shoes of an inventor and nature mage who sees the world through a lens of interconnected ecosystems and biological marvels. You are not just an artificer, but a steward of the land's most subtle and often overlooked powers. Your journey begins with a deep curiosity about the natural world, especially the mysterious and less understood realm of fungi.

Consider the following as you create your Sporitech :

1. Connection to Nature : How did your character first encounter the mystical properties of fungi? Perhaps it was during a long apprenticeship under a druidic scholar or by a chance discovery in the depths of a forgotten forest. Consider the origins of your character’s fascination with mycology—was it born from a desire to heal, a need to understand the natural order, or perhaps from an unexpected encounter with a magical mushroom?

2. Role in Society : Think about how your character is perceived by the world. Are they a revered healer whose knowledge of medicinal mushrooms can cure rare diseases? Or maybe a solitary hermit feared by locals due to their strange, spore-laden experiments?

3. Goals and Ambitions : What drives your Sporitech? Is it the pursuit of knowledge, the restoration of corrupted lands, or perhaps the power to control or influence natural processes?

Quick Build

You can make a Sporitech quickly by following these suggestions. First, Intelligence should be your highest ability score, followed by Constitution or Wisdom. Second, choose the Hermit or Outlander background. Third, choose the leather armor, the crossbow and the explorer's pack.

Sporecraft Infusion[edit]

At 1st level, your unique blend of artifice and mycology allows you to infuse ordinary objects with the potent energies of fungi, granting them magical properties. This ability, known as Sporecraft Infusion, is the cornerstone of your practice, combining the technical acumen of an artificer with the natural magic of the fungal kingdom.

You can infuse a number of items equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one). You regain all expended uses of this ability after a long rest. To infuse an item, you must spend 1 hour handling the item as you apply spores and channel mycelial energies into it. You can perform this during a short or long rest. Choose your infusion effects from the Sporecraft Infusion list below. You start with two such options and gain more at level 2, 5, 9, 13 and 17. Each infusion lasts until you decide to end it (no action required) or until you apply a new infusion after reaching your maximum number of infusions.

Fungal Archetype[edit]

At 1st level, your specialization within the realm of Sporitech expands as you choose a Fungal Archetype that shapes your path forward. Each archetype represents a distinct approach to harnessing the powers of fungi and melding them with artifice. Whether you focus on intricate craftsmanship, reckless experimentation, or harmonious symbiosis, your chosen archetype will define your abilities and playstyle as you continue to grow in power.

Choose one of the following Fungal Archetypes : Mycelial Engineer, Spore Alchemist, or Symbiotic Biomancer. The features granted by your chosen archetype enhance your Sporitech abilities and provide unique bonuses and capabilities.

Spore Collection[edit]

At 2nd level, you gain the ability to cultivate and harvest specialized spores, utilizing them for a variety of effects. Your knowledge of mycology allows you to nurture spores with properties tailored to your needs, whether they be for healing, enhancement, or protection. As you advance in your Sporitech journey, you will discover new types of spores that can be cultivated for more complex and powerful effects.

You begin with the ability to cultivate two types of spores chosen from the Basic Spores list. You can change these selections whenever you gain a level in this class. Cultivating spores requires a period of downtime which you spend tending to your fungal cultures. Each type of spore requires 1 hour of cultivation per use. You can store a number of uses of each spore type equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one). Unused spores lose their potency after 7 days. You can apply spores as an action, using methods such as throwing a spore packet, administering it to an ally, or embedding spores into an object or area. The effects vary based on the spore type.

Upon reaching 5th level, you gain access to one type of spore from the Intermediate Spores list. For each three levels thereafter (8, 11, 14), you gain one additional Intermediate Spore type. Upon reaching 10th level, you can select one type of spore from the Advanced Spores list. For each five levels thereafter (15, 20), you gain one additional Advanced Spore type.

Mycelial Network[edit]

By level 3, your connection to the fungal world has deepened, allowing you to tap into the mycelial networks that interlace the earth beneath your feet. This network provides you with information and a means to influence the natural world around you, enhancing your ability to navigate, communicate, and manipulate your environment.

Mycelial Awareness: You can sense the presence and general health of fungal life within a mile of your current location. This includes understanding areas where fungi are abundant or scarce and detecting major disturbances affecting fungal ecosystems.
Mycelial Communication: You gain the ability to communicate through the mycelial network over long distances. As an action, you can send a message of up to 25 words to any other creature you know that is in contact with the ground, and is within 10 miles of you. The recipient can immediately send a reply of up to 25 words.
Natural Navigator: While in contact with the ground, you can't become lost except by magical means, and you can always recall the general layout of terrain, settlements, and other features around you in areas you have previously visited.
Fungal Growth: As a bonus action once per long rest, you can accelerate the growth of fungi within a 30-foot radius around you, creating difficult terrain for your enemies or enriching the area to provide small amounts of food (enough to sustain a few people for a day).

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.

Fungal Forgecraft[edit]

At level 5, your expertise in combining artificer ingenuity with fungal properties allows you to craft a unique piece of equipment—be it a weapon, armor, or tool—that embodies the symbiosis between technology and mycology. This feature, Fungal Forgecraft, represents a significant leap in your ability to manipulate fungal materials and integrate them into practical applications.

Crafting the Forgecraft: You spend 8 hours and materials worth at least 100 gp to create your Fungal Forgecraft. You can choose to create a weapon, a piece of armor, or a tool. Once crafted, the item gains specific enhancements related to its fungal nature. You can only have one Fungal Forgecraft at a time. If you wish to craft a new one, the old one loses its enhancements.

Fungal Weapon: This weapon gains a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls. Additionally, once per long rest, the weapon can release a cloud of spores when you hit a creature. The target must make a Constitution saving throw or suffer an effect based on the type of spores you choose (e.g., paralysis, hallucination, or poisoning).
Fungal Armor: This armor increases your AC by an additional +1 over its base amount. Once per long rest, when you are hit by a melee attack, the armor can release a defensive burst of spores. Enemies within 5 feet must make a Constitution saving throw or be blinded until the end of their next turn.
Fungal Tool: Enhance one tool with which you are proficient. When using this tool, you gain advantage on all checks. Additionally, once per long rest, you can use the tool to instantly grow fungal constructs that assist you in a task (e.g., creating a temporary bridge of mycelium, sealing a door with fungal growth, or distracting a creature with a burst of luminescent spores).

Spore Bomb[edit]

At level 6, your inventive prowess and mycological knowledge culminate in the development of the Spore Bomb Arsenal. These specialized devices are designed to deploy your cultivated spores in explosive bursts, enhancing their spread and effect. The bombs can also function as conventional explosives, providing you with a versatile tool for various tactical situations.

You can spend 1 hour and materials worth 20 gp to construct a spore bomb. You can carry a number of spore bombs equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one). Constructed spore bombs remain potent for 7 days before they become inert. As an action, you can throw a spore bomb up to 60 feet away. Upon impact, the bomb explodes in a 15-foot radius sphere. Creatures within the area must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, creatures take 2d6 bludgeoning damage and are subjected to the effects of any spores loaded into the bomb. On a successful save, creatures take half damage and avoid the additional spore effects. Before throwing, you can load one use of any type of cultivated spores you possess into the bomb. When the bomb explodes, all creatures failing their saves against the bomb's initial impact also suffer the effects of the loaded spores (e.g., paralysis, blinding, etc.). If no spores are loaded, the bomb simply deals 3d6 bludgeoning damage to all creatures in the radius, with a Dexterity saving throw for half damage.

Spore Siphon[edit]

At 7th level, you gain the ability to siphon spores from the environment to replenish your own reserves. This allows you to maintain your stock of cultivated spores even in areas where fungal life is scarce, ensuring your continued effectiveness in diverse environments.

Spore Harvesting: As an action, you can expend a use of this feature to siphon spores from the environment within a 30-foot radius around you. This radius extends around corners and through obstacles, but it is blocked by 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt. You collect a number of uses of a randomly determined basic spore equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one). If no fungal life is present, this feature has no effect.
Symbiotic Absorption: Once per long rest, you can spend 10 minutes in meditation to absorb spores directly into your body, granting temporary hit points equal to your Sporitech level plus your Intelligence modifier.
Fungal Adaptation: When you siphon spores, you can choose one creature within range to gain temporary hit points equal to your Sporitech level. These temporary hit points last for 1 hour or until depleted.

Myco-Mechanical Mastery[edit]

By level 10, your ability to combine mechanical engineering with mycology has evolved to a point where you can create complex myco-mechanical devices and enhancements. These innovations significantly boost the effectiveness of your equipment, spore abilities, and overall versatility in the field.

Enhanced Spore Devices: You can upgrade any spore bomb or Fungal Forgecraft item, enhancing its properties. For example, spore bombs now have a larger radius (20 feet), and their damage increases to 4d6 bludgeoning. Fungal Forgecraft items gain an additional +1 bonus (for a total of +2) to their respective benefits.
Rapid Deployment: You gain the ability to deploy spore-based effects with extraordinary speed. Once per long rest, you can use an action to instantly create and activate a spore bomb or use any spore-based ability without requiring the usual preparation or action time.

Fungal Resilience[edit]

By level 11, you have harnessed the regenerative properties of fungi, integrating them into your own biological system. This not only enhances your physical durability but also allows you to recover from injuries with astonishing speed, demonstrating your advanced symbiosis with fungal life forms.

Regenerative Spores: Whenever you take damage, you can activate this ability to recover hit points. Once per long rest, as a reaction when you take damage, you can regain hit points equal to 2d10 + your Sporitech level. This represents the activation of a burst of healing spores your body now produces.
Enhanced Immune Response: You gain resistance to poison damage and advantage on saving throws against disease, poison, and effects that would stun or paralyze you. This reflects your body's adaptation to the defensive properties of various fungi.
Persistent Vitality: If you are reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you can choose to drop to 1 hit point instead. This ability can be used once per long rest. After using this feature, a visible puff of emergency spores bursts from your body, potentially affecting those nearby with a minor disorienting effect (DM's discretion).

Mycelial Metamorphosis[edit]

At 14th level, your deep and continual exposure to fungal spores, combined with your innovative modifications, triggers a profound physical transformation. You undergo one of several distinct mutations, each providing unique abilities and further blurring the line between the technological and the natural. These mutations are not only testament to your mastery over fungal artifice but also a mark of your evolution into a new form of life.

Mycelial Threads

Your skin weaves with visible, thread-like mycelium that can extend and retract. Gain a climbing speed equal to your walking speed, as the threads can anchor to and pull on surfaces. Once per long rest, you can root yourself in place as an action, gaining resistance to all non-magical damage until the start of your next turn due to the increased density and toughness of your mycelial body.

Spore Cloud Glands

Clusters of bulbous glands dot your skin, pulsating gently as they brew potent spores. In moments of danger or need, these glands can expel a defensive cloud, enveloping you in a protective, albeit eerie, spore mist. As a bonus action, release a spore cloud that surrounds you in a 10-foot radius. Choose from paralysis, sleep, or a choking effect. Affected creatures must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or suffer the chosen effect for 1 minute. Usable once per long rest.

Fungal Photoreceptors

Your eyes shimmer with a soft, otherworldly glow, allowing you to see in the deepest shadows. The eerie light not only serves as a beacon in the darkness but can also become a weapon of dazzling brilliance. Gain darkvision out to a range of 120 feet. If you already have darkvision, the range increases by an additional 60 feet. You can, as an action, emit a blinding flash from your eyes once per long rest. All creatures within a 30-foot cone must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be blinded for 1 minute.

Capillary Spore Release

Your skin bears numerous small, cap-shaped fungal growths that can flutter and tremble. These caps can launch a sudden volley of spores with a sharp hiss, making them both a defensive mechanism and a formidable means of attack. Gain the ability to launch toxic spores as a ranged weapon attack (range 60 feet, + your proficiency bonus to hit, dealing 1d8 + your Intelligence modifier in poison damage). Once per long rest, you can unleash a barrage of these spores in a 15-foot radius around you, forcing all creatures in the area to make a Constitution saving throw or take 2d8 poison damage (half damage on a successful save).

Mycomaster[edit]

At level 15, your profound understanding of both mechanical and fungal systems allows you to create and manipulate myco-mechanical constructs with exceptional proficiency and flexibility.

You can modify any of your existing Sporitech devices or constructs during a short rest instead of requiring a long rest, reflecting your rapid adaptation and innovation capabilities. When you create a device using Fungal Forgecraft or deploy a spore bomb, you can imbue it with one of the following additional effects :

Regenerative Coating: The device continuously emits a healing mist in a 10-foot radius. Allies in this radius at the start of their turn heal for 1d4 hit points.
Neurosporic Feedback: Enemies damaged by the device must make a Wisdom saving throw or become confused (as per the confusion spell) for 1 minute, usable once per long rest per device.
Mycelial Camouflage: The device can blend into natural surroundings, gaining advantage on all stealth checks and becoming nearly invisible when stationary.

You gain the ability to deploy two spore bombs or fungal forgecraft items as a single action, once per long rest.

Mycosynth Overdrive[edit]

At level 17, your mastery over fungal and mechanical symbiosis culminates in the Mycosynth Overdrive, an extraordinary ability to supercharge your creations and spore-infused gadgets for overwhelming effects.

Once per long rest, you can enter an Overdrive state for 1 minute. During this time, you can activate one of the following effects :

Hyper Growth: You can instantly create any one of your spore devices or fungal constructs without cost and use it immediately. This includes spore bombs, Fungal Forgecraft items, or any spore-related ability.
Proliferation Pulse: Emit a massive pulse of spore energy that extends up to 100 feet. All allies within the range gain a temporary hit point shield of 2d10 + your Sporitech level, and enemies must make a Constitution saving throw or be incapacitated by hallucinogenic spores for 1 round.
Adaptive Defense: All your active fungal constructs and devices gain autonomous defense capabilities, dealing an additional 2d6 poison damage to any creature that attacks them or starts its turn within 5 feet of them.
Sporogenic Resurgence: When you activate Mycosynth Overdrive, you can choose to regain spent uses of your spore-based abilities or regain half your spent hit dice (minimum of one) as your body metabolizes spores for rapid regeneration.

Fungal Singularity[edit]

At level 18, you've developed the ability to create a Fungal Singularity, a potent focal point of mycological and mechanical energies that reshapes the battlefield and supports your allies while debilitating your foes. This ability demonstrates your ultimate control over the fungal realm and your artificer capabilities.

Once per long rest, as an action, you can create a Fungal Singularity at a point you can see within 120 feet. The Singularity lasts for 1 minute and affects a 40-foot radius sphere.

Allies within the sphere gain the following benefits :

Enhanced Healing: Healing received is increased by 50%.
Boosted Speed: Movement speeds are increased by 10 feet.
Clear Mind: Gain advantage on saving throws against being charmed, frightened, and confused.

Enemies within the sphere experience the following effects :

Spore Disorientation: Must make a Wisdom saving throw at the start of each of their turns. On a failed save, they lose their action for that turn due to hallucinogenic spore effects.
Mycelial Entanglement: Their movement speed is halved as mycelial networks sprout rapidly to hinder their movement.
System Disruption: Technological devices and magical items operated by enemies malfunction and cannot be used within the sphere.

Mycosynthetic Exosuit[edit]

The Mycosynthetic Exosuit is the apex of your work as a Sporitech, blending advanced engineering with the adaptive capabilities of fungi into a formidable suit of armor. This bio-enhanced exosuit is not just protective gear but a dynamic extension of your own biological and technological prowess.

Symbiotic Armor: While wearing the Mycosynthetic Exosuit, you gain resistance to poison and psychic damage. Your AC becomes 18 (if it isn't higher), and you are immune to critical hits due to the armor's adaptive fungal layering.
Spore Command Interface: The exosuit is integrated with a spore distribution system allowing you to deploy any spore-based ability you have available without expending a normal use. This can be done twice per long rest.
Environmental Adaptation: The exosuit is equipped with dynamic camouflage capabilities, granting you advantage on Stealth checks. Additionally, once per long rest, you can activate full invisibility for up to 10 minutes, as the suit's surface mimics surrounding textures and colors.
Reactive Defense System: Upon receiving damage of a particular type (fire, cold, acid, etc.), the exosuit adapts to provide resistance to that specific damage type until the end of your next turn. This feature resets each time a different damage type is first encountered.
Enhanced Mobility: The exosuit augments your physical capabilities, increasing your base movement speed by 10 feet and giving you the ability to leap double your normal jump distance without requiring a running start.

Mycelial Engineer[edit]

As a Mycelial Engineer, you stand at the vanguard of arcane bioengineering, where the mystical properties of fungi are harmonized with the precision of mechanical constructs. You are not merely an inventor; you are a visionary who sees the invisible connections between nature and technology.

You can only create one Magnum Opus, and it cannot be recreated if destroyed. However, you can spend additional resources and time to repair it if it is damaged. The Magnum Opus can integrate specific upgrades from the Mycelial Enhancement Protocol, allowing for further personalization and enhancement of its already impressive features.

Spore Alchemist[edit]

In the shadowy corners of the laboratory, where the scent of earth mingles with the sharp tang of chemicals, the Spore Alchemist toils. They are the mad scientists of the fungal world, their minds as labyrinthine as the mycelial networks they study. These eccentric innovators see the potential in the volatile intersection of alchemy and mycology, brewing potent concoctions and volatile spore-based mixtures that bewilder friend and foe alike.

Where others see decay and rot, the Spore Alchemist sees opportunity—the chance to harness and reshape the primal forces of nature into something both wondrous and terrifying. With a flask in one hand and a spore sample in the other, these alchemists blur the lines between natural and supernatural, all while cackling at the beauty of the chaos they unleash.

Alchemical Brews

As a Spore Alchemist, your mastery over the fungal realm extends into the intricate art of potion making. From your very first level, you gain the ability to create Alchemical Brews, a range of potent concoctions that utilize both your understanding of chemistry and the unique properties of fungi. These brews can heal, harm, or alter the state of those who ingest them or are caught in their splash.

Brew Creation : You can spend 1 hour and expend a use of your Spore Collection feature to create an Alchemical Brew. You start with the ability to make two types of brews : Healing Spore Tonic and Toxic Spore Vial. You can carry a number of brews equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one). Brews last for 24 hours before losing their potency.

Learning New Brews : As you gain levels in this subclass, you can learn additional recipes for Alchemical Brews during your adventures or through experimentation during downtime.

Basic Brews (Available from Level 1)

Healing Spore Tonic

When consumed, restores hit points equal to 2d4 + your Intelligence modifier.

Experimental Efficacy

By 6th level, your understanding of alchemical and mycological interactions has deepened, enabling you to push the boundaries of your craft even further. You’ve learned to channel the chaotic nature of your experiments into more controlled, yet still wildly innovative outcomes. This deepening mastery manifests in your ability to refine and enhance your brews, transforming them into even more powerful versions with added effects.

Precision in Chaos : When using your Chaotic Concoctions feature, you can now choose to roll twice and select either result. This represents your growing ability to steer the chaotic outcomes towards your desired effects, reflecting a maturation of your experimental methods.

Adaptive Brewing : You have honed your ability to adapt your concoctions on the fly. Whenever you use a brew, you can modify one aspect of it (such as its delivery method, range, or lasting effects) to better suit the current situation. This might mean turning a potion into a spray or extending a cloud's area by 5 feet. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier per long rest.

Master of Mutation

At 10th level, your profound understanding of mycology and alchemy allows you to harness the transformative powers of fungi at an advanced level. You have become a Master of Mutation, capable of applying rapid, controlled mutations to both yourself and others, using a blend of fungal spores and alchemical substances.

Self-Mutation : You can use an action to induce a temporary beneficial mutation in yourself or an ally you can touch. This mutation grants one of the following benefits, chosen at the time of mutation :

Emergency Mutation : When you or an ally within 30 feet suffers damage that would reduce them to 0 hit points, you can use your reaction to trigger a protective mutation. This grants them temporary hit points equal to half your level plus your Intelligence modifier, potentially preventing them from being knocked unconscious. This use of the feature does not count against your daily uses of Self-Mutation.

Pandemonium Potioneer

At 14th level, you have transcended the ordinary bounds of alchemy and mycology to become a Pandemonium Potioneer. Your mastery over the most volatile and unpredictable aspects of science has granted you the ability to conjure concoctions of bewildering power and variety. Your potions can now envelop battlefields in chaos, and your creation of Pandora's Brews represents the pinnacle of your unpredictable craft.

Cataclysmic Concoctions : You can now combine multiple brews into a single, more potent concoction. When you use a brew, you can opt to merge the effects of up to three different potions or brews that you know into one. This combined potion takes effect simultaneously when used. For example, you could create a potion that both heals allies and poisons enemies within the same area.

Pandora's Brews : You gain the ability to create Pandora's Brews, the ultimate expression of your craft. These are powerful potions made from the most unstable fungal elements, resulting in unpredictable and often spectacular effects. When creating a Pandora's Brew, roll on the Pandemonium Effects Table to determine its outcome.

Symbiotic Biomancer[edit]

In the dimly lit recesses of ancient forests and the dank, forgotten corners of the world, where mushrooms and molds thrive in secretive abundance, the Symbiotic Biomancer finds their true calling. Masters of the arcane and the organic, these artificers have delved deep into the symbiotic relationships of the fungal kingdom, unlocking secrets that blend the boundaries of flora, fauna, and mycological marvels.

In their hands, the threads of life intertwine, as they orchestrate the dance of genetic interplay and magical engineering. They are the caretakers of nature's most profound mysteries, the manipulators of biological essence, and the architects of symbiotic relationships that blur the boundary between the living and the crafted. Each breath they take is filled with spore-laden air, each exhalation a whisper of life’s interconnectedness, using this knowledge to enhance, transform, and sometimes, even create new life from the essence of fungal magic.

The Biomancers' laboratories are verdant with unusual growths; their companions are creatures of mold and mushroom, animated by both arcane energy and an innate biological drive. As much scholars as they are creators, these artificers study the ebb and flow of life and death in nature, applying their findings to their crafts. They embrace the organic decay and rebirth that fungi represent, using it not only to break down the old and dying but to foster the new and vibrant.

Symbiotic Mutation

As a Symbiotic Biomancer, you possess the unique ability to incorporate fungal essences directly into your body, causing cryptic and potent mutations. At level 1, you can choose to undergo a mutation by infusing your body with one of five distinct types of mystical mushrooms, each altering your form in an otherworldly and somewhat unsettling manner. These changes are not just superficial; they mark the beginning of deeper, more profound transformations that evolve as you grow in power.

Gloomcap Infusion :

Physical Mutation : Your skin begins to exude a faint, eerie glow, reminiscent of deep-sea creatures. The pigmentation slowly changes to various shades of dark blue and purple, with patches of your skin appearing almost translucent. In dim light, your veins appear as glowing bioluminescent lines weaving through your body.

The Gloomcap Infusion grants you the eerie and otherworldly ability to harness bioluminescence and adapt to dark environments. This mutation not only affects your appearance but also enhances your senses and abilities in low-light and dark conditions.

Initial Effect at Level 1 :

Night Vision : You gain darkvision out to a range of 60 feet. If you already have darkvision, its range increases by 30 feet.
Bioluminescent Glow : You can emit a dim, glowing light from your skin at will, which can illuminate up to 10 feet around you. This light can be turned on or off as a bonus action.

Level 5 - Enhanced Luminosity :

Physical Evolution : The bioluminescent glow of your skin becomes more pronounced, and you can now control the intensity and even the color of the light. Your skin's texture starts to mimic the soft, subtle undulations of deep-sea organisms, adding an almost hypnotic quality.
Effect : The radius of your bioluminescent glow increases to 30 feet. Additionally, once per long rest, you can use your glow to dazzle enemies, forcing all creatures within 10 feet who can see you to make a Constitution saving throw or be blinded until the end of your next turn.

Level 10 - Phosphorescent Defense :

Physical Evolution : The bioluminescent patches on your skin now cover your entire body, giving you a surreal, glowing silhouette. These patches harden slightly, providing a natural armor.
Effect : You gain +1 to your AC due to the hardened bioluminescent skin. Furthermore, you can, as a reaction when hit by a melee attack, cause the attacker to become temporarily blinded until the end of their next turn, once per short or long rest.

Level 15 - Deep Light Manipulation :

Physical Evolution : Your bioluminescence can now pulsate in complex patterns that can communicate basic ideas or disorient others. The glow becomes almost ethereal in nature, casting eerie shadows that seem to move independently.
Effect : You gain the ability to cast hypnotic pattern once per long rest, without needing a material component. The spell's effects are considered to be a feature of your mutation, and the spell save DC is based on your Constitution.

Level 20 - Luminous Overcharge :

Physical Evolution : Your entire presence is now a spectacle of light and shadow, capable of illuminating a large area with ease. The light you emit is powerful enough to rival daylight.
Effect : You can activate an intense burst of light that fills a 60-foot radius. This light is bright enough to turn dim light within the radius into bright light and darkness into dim light. Additionally, you can choose to overload this burst once per long rest, causing all enemies within the radius to make a Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the end of your next turn.

Ironshroud Spore :

Physical Mutation : Thick, chitinous plates start to form under your skin, first appearing along your arms and shoulders. These plates are layered like the bark of an ancient tree, each segment tough as iron but with a fungal texture, complete with tiny spore-release vents that occasionally puff out tiny clouds of spores.

The Ironshroud Spore Mutation grants you heightened defensive capabilities directly from your own skin's resilience.

Initial Effect - Level 1 :

Defensive Adaptation : You gain a +1 bonus to your Armor Class due to the hardening and thickening of your skin.

Level 5 - Scale Fortification :

Physical Evolution : The chitinous plates expand to cover more of your body, including your chest and back, forming a natural armor. The texture of these plates becomes rougher, resembling overlapping scales with a slightly metallic sheen.
Defensive Adaptation : Your Armor Class bonus increases to +2. Additionally, you gain resistance to bludgeoning damage as your body adapts to absorb and dissipate impact forces more effectively.

Level 10 - Sporecloud Defense :

Physical Evolution : The chitinous armor further thickens, and small spore vents become more prominent, capable of releasing a dense cloud of defensive spores when you are hit.
Defensive Adaptation : Your Armor Class bonus increases to +3. Whenever you take damage from a melee attack, the attacker must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be blinded until the end of their next turn by the cloud of spores.

Level 15 - Jagged Exoskeleton :

Physical Evolution : The chitinous plates now almost completely encase you, including your legs and arms, and begin to form jagged edges that can be used offensively. The color darkens to a deep rust red, and the texture resembles ancient, weathered iron.
Defensive Adaptation : Your Armor Class bonus increases to +4. Additionally, any creature that hits you with a melee attack takes 1d6 slashing damage from the jagged edges of your armor.

Level 20 - Regenerative Ironform :

Physical Evolution : Your chitinous armor reaches its final, most formidable form, incorporating mineral-like growths that enhance its toughness. These growths are interspersed with glowing fungal patterns that provide a regenerative energy.
Defensive Adaptation : Your Armor Class bonus increases to +5. Additionally, you gain immunity to bludgeoning damage and regenerate 5 hit points at the start of each of your turns, as long as you have at least 1 hit point remaining.

Whisperling Mycelium :

Physical Mutation : Fine, hair-like mycelium begins to sprout from your ears and nostrils, gradually weaving into a subtle, web-like structure around your head. This mycelium is almost invisible but shimmers with a silver sheen when caught in the light, vibrating softly in response to nearby sounds.

The Whisperling Mycelium allows you to connect further with the fungal world and to tie yourself with the arcane.

The strands emit a soft, ethereal glow, and your eyes begin to take on a faint green hue, reflecting your deepening connection to the whispering mycelium.

Level 15 - Mycelial Network :

Physical Evolution : The mycelium extends its reach even further, now enveloping your entire body in a delicate, translucent layer. Your skin takes on a pale, almost translucent appearance, and you exude a faint, sweet scent reminiscent of fresh rain and earth.
Enhancement : You gain the ability to cast the teleportation circle spell once per long rest without expending a spell slot. The mycelium acts as a conduit for this magic, allowing you to create a temporary teleportation circle at your location.

Level 20 - Sporogenesis Mastery :

Physical Evolution : The mycelium reaches its apex, forming a complex network of intertwining strands that suffuse your entire being. Your body becomes a living nexus of fungal energy, pulsating with a soft, greenish glow. Fungal spores constantly waft from your skin, creating an aura of vitality and renewal.
Enhancement : Once per long rest, you can unleash a wave of spores in a 30-foot radius centered on yourself. Allies within this radius regain hit points equal to your Wisdom modifier + your Biomancer level (minimum of 1), and hostile creatures must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC or be poisoned and take poison damage equal to your Wisdom modifier + your Biomancer level (minimum of 1). This represents your mastery over the life-giving properties of fungi, allowing you to both heal your allies and harm your enemies with the power of spores.

Heartwood Node :

Physical Mutation : Your veins and arteries thicken and become more visible, taking on a wooden texture and coloration, reminiscent of tree roots. Over time, small nodules like knots in wood form along these veins, pulsing gently with your heartbeat and secreting a protective sap when you are wounded.

The Heartwood Node Mutation allows you to gain the protective and healing abilities of ancient plant life.

Initial Effect (Level 1) :

Upon choosing the Heartwood Node mutation, your body's durability increases due to the wooden-like texture of your veins and arteries. You gain a +1 bonus to your Armor Class as your skin partially hardens into a bark-like surface, providing natural armor.

Level 5 - Sap Surge :

Physical Evolution : The nodules along your veins become larger and more pronounced, resembling the burls of a tree. These burls can now store and slowly secrete a healing sap.
Effect : Once per long rest, you can activate this mutation to regain hit points equal to twice your Sporitech level. Additionally, this sap can be collected and used as a healing salve that restores 2d4 hit points (usable by any character).

Level 10 - Rooted Resilience :

Physical Evolution : Your wooden veins begin to extend beneath your skin, sprouting tiny roots that slightly protrude from your pores, giving you a rugged, bark-like appearance.
Effect : You gain resistance to bludgeoning and slashing damage from non-magical attacks, reflecting your body's tough, wood-like texture.

Level 15 - Photosynthetic Pores :

Physical Evolution : Some parts of your skin develop a green, mossy coating that functions like natural foliage, capable of photosynthesis.
Effect : Whenever you spend at least 1 hour in sunlight, you can forego eating one meal as you gain sustenance via photosynthesis. Additionally, during this hour in sunlight, you can expend a use of your Sap Surge feature without counting against your daily limit, representing accelerated healing and energy storage.

Level 20 - Grand Arbor Avatar :

Physical Evolution : Your appearance now fully embodies that of an ancient tree spirit. Large, leafy branches sprout from your shoulders and back, and your skin resembles tough, ancient bark.
Effect : You gain the ability to root yourself into the ground as an action. While rooted, you cannot be moved against your will, you have advantage on Constitution saving throws, and you gain an aura of calming spores in a 20-foot radius. Allies within the aura gain a bonus to Wisdom saving throws equal to your Constitution modifier, and enemies must make a Wisdom saving throw against your Sporitech spell save DC or be charmed by you while they remain in the aura and for 1 minute after leaving it.

Veilstalker Spores :

Physical Mutation : Your eyes undergo a dramatic transformation, with the whites turning jet black and the irises becoming a deep, vivid green. Thin, root-like tendrils begin to sprout from around the eyelids and along the cheekbones, giving you a somewhat predatory appearance.

The Veilstalker Spores Mutation allows you to gain the stealth of a rogue and the agility of a spider.

Initial Effect (Level 1) :

At level 1, upon undergoing the Veilstalker Spores mutation, your sight adapts to darkness and shadows. You gain darkvision out to a range of 60 feet. If you already have darkvision, its range increases by 30 feet. Additionally, your eyes can adjust rapidly between light and dark, reducing any penalties from sudden changes in light exposure.

Level 5 - Predatory Perception :

Physical Evolution : The root-like tendrils around your eyes and cheekbones thicken and spread, resembling a natural camouflage that blends into dark environments.

Ability Enhancement : You gain the ability to teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space that you can see that is also in dim light or darkness. This ability can be used a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once), and all expended uses are restored after a long rest.

Fungal Appendage

At 3rd level, your symbiotic connection with fungal entities deepens, granting you the ability to manifest a mutated appendage, an extension of your own body infused with fungal essence.

As you continue to explore the mysteries of symbiosis, your appendage evolves, gaining new abilities and forms over time.

Manifestation : You can manifest a fungal appendage as a bonus action on your turn. The appendage can take one of several forms, each with its own unique properties :

Spore Blaster : A cluster of spore-filled sacs emerges from your shoulder, allowing you to launch a burst of spores in a 15-foot cone. Creatures in the area must make a Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 minute. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier.

With the Fungal Overgrowth ability, you can unleash a surge of fungal energy, transforming the battlefield into a veritable garden of otherworldly growth and granting you unprecedented control over the natural world.

Activation : As an action, you can expend a use of your Fungal Overgrowth ability to create a 30-foot radius sphere of dense fungal growth centered on a point you can see within 60 feet of you.
Effects : The area becomes difficult terrain for creatures other than yourself and your allies, as the tangled mass of fungi impedes movement. In addition, the area is filled with spores that obscure vision, granting disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks relying on sight for creatures within the area.
Enhancements : Depending on the type of terrain in which the overgrowth is summoned, it gains additional effects:

Forest : The fungal overgrowth entangles and restrains creatures within it, causing them to make a Strength saving throw at the start of their turn or be restrained until the start of their next turn.
Underground : The fungal overgrowth releases toxic spores that poison creatures within it, causing them to make a Constitution saving throw at the start of their turn or be poisoned until the end of their next turn.
Swamp : The overgrowth thrives in moist conditions, creating slippery and sticky masses. Creatures in the area must make a Strength saving throw or have their speed reduced to 0 until the start of their next turn as they get stuck in the fungal bog.
Grassland : Rapidly growing mushrooms produce hallucinogenic spores. Creatures that start their turn in the area must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or suffer illusions, seeing all creatures as enemies until the start of their next turn. This confuses them and potentially causes them to attack their allies.
Desert : The fungi leech moisture aggressively from the environment and any creatures within it. Creatures in the area must make a Constitution saving throw or suffer exhaustion as the fungi dehydrate them.
Coastal or Riverbank : The fungi interact with the water, producing bioluminescent spores that light up potential threats. Enemies in the area are illuminated, making it impossible for them to benefit from being hidden or invisible.
Mountainous or Rocky : The overgrowth roots into rocky crevices, causing shards of rock to burst upwards. Creatures in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw or take piercing damage from sharp fungal-infused rock formations that erupt underfoot.
Arctic : The overgrowth emits intense cold as it absorbs thermal energy from the environment. Creatures in the area must make a Constitution saving throw or have their speed halved due to freezing fungal growths that adhere to their bodies and gear.

Duration : The fungal overgrowth persists for 1 minute, during which you can use a bonus action on each of your turns to move it up to 30 feet in any direction.

Multiclassing[edit]

Prerequisites. To qualify for multiclassing into the Sporitech class, a character must meet the following prerequisites:

Intelligence 13 : As Sporitech abilities rely heavily on knowledge of mycology and engineering, a high Intelligence is necessary.
Proficiency in Nature or Arcana : The character must be proficient in either the Nature or Arcana skill, reflecting their study of natural or arcane elements related to fungal lifeforms and mechanical inventions.

Proficiencies. When a character gains their first level in Sporitech as a multiclass character, they gain the following proficiencies :

Tools : Alchemist’s supplies (if they do not already have this proficiency)
Skills : Choose one from Nature, Investigation, or Survival

Sporecraft Infusions[edit]

Bioluminescent Glow: Infuse a light source (like a lantern or torch) so it emits a soft, glowing light without needing fuel. The light can also pulse gently to communicate basic signals.

Mycelial Resilience: Infuse a piece of clothing or armor, allowing the wearer to tap into the restorative properties of healing fungi. The wearer gains a +1 bonus to AC, and the first time they drop to 0 hit points without being killed outright, they regain a number of hit points equal to your Intelligence modifier + your Sporitech level.

Spore Sensors: Infuse a small object (like a stone or a twig) to act as a motion sensor, using the fungal network to alert you of nearby movement. When a creature larger than Tiny comes within 30 feet of the object, you receive a mental alert if you are within 1 mile of the object.

Fungal Fortitude: Infuse armor or clothing, which then grants the wearer enhanced durability and resilience. The wearer gains resistance to poison damage, and advantage on saving throws against poison and diseases.

Hallucinogenic Haze: Infuse a container (like a vial or a grenade-like casing). When opened or broken, it releases a cloud of spores in a 10-foot radius. Creatures in the area must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be affected by hallucinations (as per the confusion spell) for 1 minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Spores of Swiftness: Infuse footwear or a cloak, which allows the wearer to move with increased speed and agility. The wearer’s movement speed increases by 10 feet, and they gain a +2 bonus to Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks.

Regrowth Pouch: Infuse a pouch or container that produces a daily supply of medicinal mushrooms. Once per day, the user can reach into the pouch and pull out a mushroom that functions as a potion of healing.

Decomposer’s Touch: Infuse a glove or a set of gauntlets, enabling the wearer to rapidly decompose organic material upon touch. This can be used to decay dead matter, making it easier to search through, or it can be used as a tool for sabotage, such as weakening wooden doors or disintegrating fabric.

Echoes of the Undergrowth: Infuse a helmet or headgear, allowing the wearer to tap into the mycelial network to sense vibrations and movements through the ground. The wearer gains tremorsense out to a range of 30 feet.

Mycofilter Mask: Infuse a mask or scarf which, when worn, purifies air of toxins and grants the wearer advantage on saving throws against gases, including magical poisonous gases, and the ability to breathe normally in smoky, dusty, or otherwise contaminated environments.

Sporeling Scouts: Infuse a small, contained ecosystem (like a terrarium) that houses sporelings—tiny, sentient mushroom creatures. Once per long rest, you can release these sporelings to scout an area up to one mile away. You receive visual and auditory information they gather until they return or for up to one hour.

Entangling Mycelium: Infuse a rope or whip, enabling it to sprout mycelial tendrils on command that can be used to grasp, entangle, or trip an opponent. When used in combat, it grants a +2 bonus to attack rolls made to grapple or restrain and extends the reach by an additional 5 feet.

Cap of Clarity: Infuse a hat or headband to enhance mental focus and clarity. The wearer gains advantage on Intelligence (Arcana) and Wisdom (Perception) checks and can cast the detect magic spell once per long rest without expending a spell slot.

Luminescent Trail: Infuse boots or a cloak that leaves a trail of bioluminescent spores in your wake. This glowing trail lasts for 1 hour and can be used to mark a path, signal allies, or distract enemies. The light is bright enough to illuminate a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet.

Fungal Growth Barricade: Infuse a small object that, when thrown to the ground and activated, grows a dense, tough fungal barricade up to 5 feet wide and 8 feet tall. This barricade lasts for 10 minutes or until destroyed (AC 15, 20 hit points).
