Satori[edit]
The Satori read their minds, why they despised it where now clear. They had been in touch with a creature with similar powers. A creature that can read minds. "You are not welcome here Satori. Go back to were you came from". But the satori probed their minds, figuring out why they where so scared. "Thats it! Thats enough mind reading!" They raised their pitchforks and shovels ready to charge but before they could take action, the satori was gone. The satori had erased its presence, now invisible to these "creatures". The satori was thinking: "What did startle these people in the first place?" Images of a mind flayer where hidden deep in their minds. The satori left so the village, never to be seen again.
This is a class focused on manipulation of the conscious with some elements from the Touhou franchise's satori sisters Satori Komeiji and Koishi Komeiji
Creating a Satori[edit]
Think about how your character would use mindreading and manipulation of the subconcious. Do you care of how others feel? Do you hold your feelings and thoughts hidden from the world? And why do you do so? A satori from folklore is a being that reads humans minds and speaks them outloud faster than they can. It is said that they even eat human flesh, but chicken out and runs away to hide when attacked. But there are also satori who coexist with people.

Spellcasting[edit]
Your satori ancestry infuses you with mindbending magic allowing you to cast spells.
- Preparing and Casting Spells
The Satori table of spells shows what spells you unlock as you gain levels in the satori class. Your spells are fueled by Mind slots and the cost is equal to the spell slot level the spell is cast on.
You prepare the list of Satori spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the Satori table of spells. When you do so, choose a number of spells equal to your Charisma modifier + half your Satori level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). Casting a spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells.
You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of spells requires time spent in deep thought and meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
- Spellcasting ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your spells. 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 satori 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
- Spellcasting Focus
You can use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus for your satori spells.
