Spellcasting[edit]
As a self-taught practitioner of the arcane arts, you have unlocked the secrets of casting spells with frightening regularity.
- Cantrips
At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the thaumaturge spell list. You learn additional thaumaturge cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Thaumaturge table.
- Casting Spells
Whenever you cast a spell, you cast it at the lowest available level. You may cast any spells you know as many times as you like.
- Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher
You know one 1st-level spells of your choice from the thaumaturge.
The Spells Known column of the thaumaturge table shows when you learn more thaumaturge spells of your choice. Whenever you learn a new spell, it must be of a level lower than the level shown in the Highest Known Spell Level column of the thaumaturge table.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the thaumaturge spells you know and replace it with another spell from the thaumaturge spell list, which also must be of a level for which the table allows you to.
- Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your thaumaturge spells, since the power of your magic is refined from intense rote training. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a thaumaturge spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
- Spellcasting Focus
You can use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus for your thaumaturge spells.
Thaumic Focus[edit]
At 1st level, you choose a thaumic focus, delving into a narrow band of magical ability. Choose between Elemental Thaum, Illusory Thaum, Discovery Thaum, or Protective Thaum, all detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at <!-insert the level when subclass features begin-> and again at <!-list all the levels the class gains subclass features->.->
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.
Honed Training[edit]
Your rote methods of training your magical prowess are paying off. Beginning at 6th level, your Spell Save DC increases by 1, and you can add 1 to your spell attack rolls.
