Spellcasting[edit]

You have learned to draw on the power of the moon through meditation and prayer to cast Spells as a Druid does. See chapter 10 for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 for spell lists.

Preparing and Casting Spells

The Tide-Caller table shows how many Spell Slots you have to cast your Spells. To cast one of your 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 Spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the druid spell list. When you do so, choose a number of spells equal to your Wisdom modifier + your level. The Spells must be of a level for which you have Spell Slots.

The Tide-Caller table shows the number of cantrips known. The Tide-Caller also learns the Fingers of Frost cantrip, this cantrip doesn't count towards cantrips known.

You can change your list of prepared Spells when you finish a Long Rest. Preparing a new list of Spells requires time spent during a long rest.

Tide-Caller Cantrip[edit]

Fingers of Frost

Evocation Cantrip

Casting Time: Bonus Action

Range: Self

Components: V, S

Duration: 1 Minute

You use your powers to beseech the elements of water to empower your abilities. When you deal damage with a ranged spell attack, you may deal an additional 1d4 cold damage and the target's movement is reduced by 10 ft.

At higher levels, the damage die increases by 1d4 at 5th level, 11th level, and 17th level.

Aquan Empowerment[edit]

Tide-Callers draw the power of water's strength to fuel their special features. Your abilities will cost varying amounts of Aquan Empowerment points depending on their power. As your power grows, you will be able to focus your Aquan Empowerment points into more powerful effects. Aquan Empowerment points are regained by taking a short rest or long rest.

At first level, you have 3 Aquan Empowerment points gaining more as per the Tide-Caller table above.

Aquarian Magic[edit]

  • Tidal Reach - When you cast a spell that has a range of 5 feet or greater, you can spend 1 Aquan Empowerment point to double the range of the spell. When you cast a spell that has a range of touch, you can spend 1 Aquan Empowerment point to make the range of the spell 30 feet.
  • Twin Seas - When you cast a spell that targets only one creature and doesn't have a range of self, you can spend a number of Empowerment points equal to the spell's level to target a second creature in range with the same spell (1 Empowerment point if the spell is a cantrip). To be eligible for Twin Seas, a spell must be incapable of targeting more than one creature at the spell's current level.
  • Lasting Waves - When you cast a spell that has a duration of 1 minute or longer, you can spend 1 Empowerment point to double its duration, to a maximum duration of 24 hours.
  • High Tide - When you cast a spell that forces a creature to make a saving throw to resist its effects, you can spend 2 Empowerment points to give one target of the spell disadvantage on its first saving throw made against the spell.
  • Silent Waves - When you Cast a Spell, you can spend 1 Empowerment point to cast it without any somatic or verbal components.

Oceanic Fluidity[edit]

At 1st level, while you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Wisdom modifier. Your speed increases by 10 feet while you are not wearing armor or wielding a shield. You can also, take the Dash action as a bonus action.

Bliss of the Sea[edit]

At 1st level, you can regain some of your magical energy by sitting in meditation During a short rest, you choose expended spell slots to recover. The spell slots can have a combined level that is equal to or less than half your Tide-Caller level (rounded up), and none of the slots can be 6th level or higher. You can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.

For example, when you are a 4th-level Tide-Caller, you can recover up to two levels worth of spell slots. You can recover either a 2nd-level slot or two 1st-level slots.

Water Weaving[edit]

At 2nd level, your mastery over water continues to grow, you gain a new attack option that you can use with the Attack action. This special attack is a ranged spell attack with a range of 30 feet. You are proficient with it, and you add your Wisdom modifier to its attack and damage rolls. Its damage is cold, and its damage die is a d4. Cold Damage dealt ignores resistance, and immunity is treated as resistance.

When you take the Attack action on your turn and use this special attack as part of it, you can spend 1 Empowermentpoint to make the special attack twice as a bonus action.

In addition, you learn the Shape Water cantrip, if you do not already know it. Shape Water can now summon water, the amount of water possible is enough to fill a normal sized canteen.
