Fate Manipulator[edit]
|
|---|
| From unknown author [1] |
He was a successful wizard, he lived his life experimenting and contributing to the nation with his powerful magic, but even he no longer knew how to escape death. She was a simple peasant who served a family of nobles, without ever having touched magic or even considered going into battle. On the day their souls were to be taken, a small battle between the gods occurred (more like an argument between them), but it was enough for the wizard to take his tome one additional time in his life... Enough for the servant survive the poisoned soup intended for his master. After this unsuccessful visit, the wizard realized that all the knowledge he had was perhaps not that important, perhaps instead of worrying about death, why not become stronger than it? The peasant woman notices that she can see threads of several different colors in the air, connecting the entire world, and using the spoon that had been placed in her mouth, she tears the thread connected to it.
The Fate Manipulator is usually someone who, for some reason, has avoided the eyes of all the most powerful beings in the multiverse and fallen out of the cogwheel of fate. Even those with a history of success as a general, or a wizard with countless years of study cannot escape the cogwheel of fate, and will require a great coincidence to escape it.
Cogweel of Fate[edit]
Despite not being exactly a being, the cogwheel of fate detaches those who try to move its gears, and misalign them.
Other cultures do not see fate as a cogwheel, but rather threads connecting everyone to each other and leading to events. Still others see it as a road, and even if there are crossroads, they will all lead to the same destination, and that is why fate can be called destiny.
But it is a fact that regardless of the correct representation, the being went against destiny, and this could lead to changes elsewhere, to which Fate will have to adjust to balance the entire multiverse.
Creating a Fate Manipulator[edit]
A Fate Manipulator is a curious magic user, who like the sorcerer, magic came to him without wanting it. They harness the energy of destiny itself to use their powers, manipulating reality as a whole.
They are similar to bards in that they are very charismatic beings, but the reason for their charisma is completely different. Because they are looking from the outside at destiny, and can read all the nuances of the world, they usually know the best ways to act in every situation they find themselves in.
The manipulator's strengths can be varied, such as focusing on using their deceptions and persuasions to get the effect they desire. They can be strong spell casters as well. They can do very well with their skills in and out of battle.

Spellcasting[edit]
You draw on the world energy at your own desire, to fuel your spells.
- Cantrips
At first level you know 2 cantrips of your choice from the bard spell list/Sorcerer spell listList. You learn additional cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Fate Manipulator's table.
- Spell Slots
The Fate Manipulator's 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 Bane and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast Bane using either slot.
- Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher
You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the bard spell list/Sorcerer spell list.
The Spells Known column of the Fate Manipulator's table shows when you learn more Fate 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 Fate Manipulator's spells you know, and replace it with another spell from the bard spell list/Sorcerer spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
- Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your manipulator spells, since the power of your magic relies on your ability to project your will into the world. 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 manipulator 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 a manipulator spell as a ritual if it is a spell you know and that spell has the ritual tag.
- Spellcasting Focus
Manipulators use their hands, voices, and thoughts as a focus for their manipulator spells.
Fate Snap[edit]
Starting at 1st level, you create a wave of changes that redirect all the attention to you. Every creature, at your choice, within 30 ft. They must succeed a Wisdom saving throw from your Spell save DC or stop what they are doing to pay attention to you. An affected creature loses it's next action. You may use this ability a number of times a day equal to your Proficiency Bonus per rest.
At 5th level, any creature that fails a saving throw against your Fate Snap must succeed an additional Wisdom saving throw to resist talking to you. They do not have to tell you the truth or even be nice while speaking, but if they fail the saving throw, they must speak to you for as long as you carry on the conversation. Any violent action taken against the effected creature will nullify this effect.
Deceive Fate[edit]
At 1st level, you now are deceiving the Fate. You stop aging physically, both naturally and magically, you are immune to being aged. Additionally you cannot die from old age and are immune to nonmagical diseases.
Fate's Bond[edit]
When you broke with Fate, it left parts of its power with you in the form of an object, mark on your body or other way of identifying this break, while creating a unique bond with you.
At 2nd level, that symbol revels its true power to you, some of these bonds are Dragon king's Bond, Phoenix Bond, Humanity Bond all detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 2nd level and again at 6th, 10th, 14th and 20th levels.
Read Close Fate[edit]
Starting at 3rd level, you starts to learn how to read the fate. It gives you some benefits.
- At 3rd level, you can choose three from Deception, Intimidation, Performance, Persuasion, Insight, Perception and gain proficiency in it. If you already have it, then double your proficiency bonus in those skils.
- At 3rd level, you have advantage against effects that can cause Charm or Fear and anyone trying to persuade, act, deceive or intimidate must do so with disadvantage.
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.
If your DM allows the use of feats, you may instead take a feat.
Fate's Owner[edit]
At 5th level, you are able to separete yourself from the rest of the world, creating a temporary plane of existence where only yourself matter, where Fate does not have power.
Using an action you create a plane that exists for 1d4 + Charisma mod rounds, and as part of the same action you can go to there. While a temporary Plane of your creation exists, you may choose to either exist in the real world or Plane Shift to your created Plane at cost of 10ft of movement. Additionaly, you can use your reaction to scape an attack directed to you, planeshifting to your plane.
You can control the laws within your created plane of existence. While in your Plane, you may move around freely. You became immune to any damage but psychic. While in your created Plane, you do not exist in the real world and cannot be effected by anything that happens there.
Additionaly, on your next turns you can try to send a creature to your plane. The target must make an Charisma saving throw with your Spell save DC. On a successful save, nothing happens and the target stays in reality. On a failed save, the target is plane shifted, and, if you want to, you can make it take 1d8 of psychic damage every turn it starts in your plane. When the target's turn ends, it can make another Charisma saving throw with your Spell save DC. On a successful save, it scapes from your plane. On a failed save nothing more happens.
Everyone that had entered in the plane, once it returns, come back to the same place where they were before entering the plane.
Your plane can be represented in countless ways, an erupting volcano, a dense forest, a calm beach, or simply a white room. But the plan will always have a size equal to 50ft x 50ft. Once the plane's time ends, everyone in the plane is forcibly expelled and returns to the same place where they were before entering the plane.
Good or Bad Fate[edit]
At 7th level, you can choose what everyone else can see about you.
If you want that your alingment be evil, then your character will be perceived as Evil regardless of you real alignment. And the same goes to Good, if you want that your character to be perceived as Good, than everyone will perceive as a Good person, that cannot do any wrong, regardless of you real alignment.
Even magics like detect evil will not work correctly.
Read Fate[edit]
Starting at 9th level, you can read the immediate Fate of the people almost perfectly.
- At 9th level, you can choose three from Deception, Intimidation, Performance, Persuasion, Insight, Perception and gain proficiency in it. If you already have it, then double your proficiency bonus in those skils.
- At 9th level, you gain immunity to Charm and Fear.
Manipulate Reality[edit]
At 15th level, you start to learn how to change upcoming events.
You have trickster's dices equals to your proficiency bonus, and regain all the uses after a short rest.
A trickster's dice can be used in one of the following:
- When a creature that you can see within 120 feet of you makes an Attack roll, an ability check, or a damage roll, you can use your Reaction to make a little change in that reality. You roll 1d10 die and subtracting the number rolled from the creature’s roll. You can choose to use this feature after the creature makes its roll, but before the GM determines whether the Attack roll or ability check succeeds or fails, or before the creature deals its damage.
- Whenever you would make a deception or disguise kit check, you may choose to automatically succeed instead of rolling or if your roll fails, you may have it succeed instead.
Fate Changer Aura[edit]
At 17th level, as a bonus action, you can assume a magically presence that changes the Fate around you for 1 minute or until you are incapacitated.
For the duration, whenever any creature tries to attack you, the attacker must make a Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC.
On a failed save, the attack misses. Furthermore, it gains disadvantage on any saving throw it makes against your spells or abilities on your next turn. On a successful save, the attacker has disadvantage on attack rolls.
Once you assume Fate Changer Aura, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.
Dragon king's Bond[edit]
Your Fate is Dragon[edit]
Starting at 2nd level, the bond you had with fate become a dragon, and the power of both starts to combine.
Select on of the following dragons, the damage type associated with each dragon is used by features you gain later.
