Hearts

Heart Containers: 1d8 per scion level
Heart Points at 1st Level: 8 + Constitution modifier
Heart Points at Higher Levels: 1d8 (or 5) + Constitution modifier per scion level after 1st. If your 1d8 roll lands on a 1, you can re-roll the die and use the higher result.

Proficiency

If scion is your first class, you have proficiency with the following. These proficiencies are in addition to any from your progenitor and proficiency points.

Armor: Light armor
Weapons: Simple weapons, rods; you can use Charisma as your casting ability with rods instead of Intelligence
Saving Throws: Constitution, Charisma

Proficiency Points

Option: Background
Legends of Hyrule doesn't have backgrounds under default rules. Proficiency points are meant to replace benefits provided by a traditional Background.
     If your campaign uses traditional Backgrounds, you gain no proficiency points, but instead are proficient in two skills of your choice from Arcana, Deception, History, Insight, Intimidation, Nature, Persuasion, and Religion. These proficiencies are in addition to any from your Background.

If your first class level is gained as a scion, you have a number of proficiency points equal to 5 + your Intelligence modifier. If your Intelligence modifier permanently increases, so too do your number of proficiency points. During character creation or during downtime, you can expend proficiency points to become proficient.

Retraining

Heroes don't always retain their skills forever.  Sometimes old methods are forgotten in favor of new means.  Each time you gain a level, you can forget up to 3 proficiency points' worth of benefits you gained with this feature.  Doing so lets you regain the points you invested.  You can then immediately invest these points into any other benefits in accordance with this feature, or save them to be assigned at later levels.

If you have multiple classes, you can only re-invest points in accordance with your first class.

Progenitor

At 1st level, you choose a progenitor that is the source of your supernatural powers. Your progenitor is the type of great being whose power you have inherited, whether through happenstance or choice, through ancestry or action, through violent means or a benevolent blessing. You likely do not still have contact with your individual progenitor, but perhaps you do—this is something you can decide with your DM. Your choice of progenitor functions as your scion subclass.

Your choice of progenitor decides what spells you can learn, as different scions share very few spells with one another. Your progenitor also grants additional proficiencies, borne of the supernatural talents that your progenitor has seeded in you. As your capabilities grow and you better understand the powers of your progenitor, you gain additional features at 2nd, 3rd, 7th, 10th, 15th, and 20th levels.

Each progenitor is covered in detail on its own, separate page linked in the list below. Each subclass of scion also has an affinity for certain creatures as highlighted in the list. Your affinity type may affect features and spells you gain at later levels.

  • An armos scion draws strength from ancient constructs such as armos, beamos, and guardians. Clever yet stalwart, these scions are effective at enduring dangers and overcoming the abnormal.
  • A dragon scion inherits the might of powerful dragons, ranging anywhere from aquamentus to dinraal. Aggressive abilities prove useful for tearing apart enemies.
  • A fairy scion receives the talents and blessings of fairies, from the slightest tiny fairy to possibly even the revered fairy queen. Not even sages can match a fairy scion's restorative powers.
  • A poe scion amasses power from undead monsters, most infamously poes and redead. Poe scions wield unrivaled power over the barrier of life and death, and can even raise undead to their bidding.

To see how the scion class looks when merged with progenitor features, click one of the tabs near the top of this page.

Magic Meter

At 1st level, you gain a number of magic points equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 0). If your Charisma later increases, so too does your number of magic points. Each level you gain in this class after the first, you gain 2 more magic points.

Your magic points are expended primarily in spellcasting. Normally any magic points you've expended are fully replenished when you finish a long rest. Some features and magic items can otherwise restore magic points.

Spellcasting

Spell Slot Alternative
Some players may prefer traditional spell slot levels over Hyrulean magic points. If this is the case for you, the following adjustments.
     Spell Slots (replaces Magic Meter or Magic Limit). You initially have two 1st-level spell slots to cast scion spells. Starting from 2nd level, you gain spell slots at the same rate the ranger and paladin classes do (see SRD or PHB).
     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 death and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast death using either slot.
     Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher (replaces Powered Spells Known). You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from your progenitor's spell list. You learn a third spell from this list at 2nd level, and one more spell at every odd-numbered scion level thereafter. You can begin to learn 2nd-level spells when you reach 5th level, learn 3rd-level spells when you reach 9th level, learn 4th-level spells when you reach 13th level, and 5th-level spells when you reach 17th level. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the spells you know and replace it with another spell from your spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

As an inheritor of supernatural power, you inherently know how to cast a small array of spells. Casting these spells is a talent that feels instinctive to you and grows stronger with practice.

Magic Limit

To cast a spell, you must expend a number of magic points as determined by the spell.

You can cast a spell up to but not exceeding your "magic limit." Your magic limit defines the most many magic points you can expend when you cast a spell. Your magic limit is initially 2. This limit increases gradually with your level, as detailed in the Scion Table.

If you have levels in multiple spellcasting classes, your magic limit may be different, as described under multiclassing.

Spellcasting Ability

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your scion spells, as 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 scion spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Your spell saving throw DC is 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier.

When you make a spell attack roll, you roll a d20 and add both your proficiency bonus and your Charisma modifier.

Cantrips

You initially know two cantrips (or "unpowered spells") of your choice from your progenitor's spell list. You learn another cantrip from this list at 2nd level, 6th level, and 11th level. You can use your Improvement feature to learn even more cantrips, or replace cantrips you know with new ones.

Powered Spells Known

At 1st level, you know two 2-point spells from your progenitor's spell list. You learn a third spell from this list at 2nd level, and one more spell at every odd-numbered scion level thereafter as shown in Scion Table.

Starting from 5th level in this class, you can instead learn spells up to but not exceeding your current Magic Limit. At 5th level for example, you Magic Limit increases to 3, so the spell you learn at this level can be a 3-point spell or lower.

If you are multiclassing, you only learn spells up to your scion magic limit, not your combined magic limit.

Each time you gain a level in this class, you can replace one scion spell you've learned with this feature with a new one you would be able to learn from your progenitor's spell list. The new spell cannot exceed your current Magic Limit.

You can use your Improvement feature to learn even more powered spells.

Overpowering a Spell

You can cast a powered spell with more magic points than required to potentially increase its power. This is called "overpowering" the spell. Only some spells can be overpowered, as each spell describes. When overpowering a spell, you still cannot expend magic points in excess of your Magic Limit.

For example, consider fly, a 5-point spell. If your Magic Limit is high enough, you can overpower it to affect multiple creatures instead of only one.

Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, your capabilities improve in a fundamental but powerful way. At these levels, choose one of the following improvements:

  • Increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or two ability scores by 1 each. You cannot increase any ability score above its maximum (initially 20) using this feature.
  • Gain a feat of your choice.
  • Learn two new powered spells per your Spellcasting feature. These spells cannot exceed your Magic Limit for this level. Gain 2 magic points.
  • Learn two more cantrips from your scion spell list. Gain 2 magic points.

Additionally, you can replace one cantrip you've learned from this class with a new one.

Swift Spells

At 5th level, you learn to weave your scion spells more efficiently with other spells or actions.

When you use your action to cast a powered scion spell, you can use your bonus action to make one attack with a weapon or an unarmed strike, to Disengage, or to cast one scion cantrip you know that normally has a cast time of 1 action.

Intuition

By 6th level, you gain a strong intuitive understanding of a certain kind of creature—your affinity—as detailed under your progenitor features. You become better able to understand the minds, the motives, and the physicality of these creatures. You are an expert on every Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma check made about or against creatures of this type. Being an expert lets you add double your proficiency bonus to applicable ability checks.

Resilience

Your increasing familiarity with supernatural forces and physiological changes slowly renders you more capable of avoiding unconventional harm.

At 9th level, you gain proficiency in your choice of either Dexterity or Wisdom saving throws.

At 13th level, you gain proficiency in any one saving throw of your choice.

Starting from 18th level, you are proficient in all saving throws.

Everflowing Spells

At 11th level, the supernatural power surging within you can be released effortlessly into some of your more familiar spells. Select one 2-point (or 1st level) scion spell you know to be an everflowing spell. The spell you choose must have a casting time of 1 action. You can cast the chosen spell without expending magic points (or a spell slot). Overpowering such a spell requires additional magic points (or a higher level spell slot), as normal. You can change your everflowing spell(s) whenever you finish a long rest. Any spell you cast using this feature does not restore heart points; if such a spell has other effects, such as alleviating negative conditions, those effects still occur.

Starting at 17th level, you can select select a second everflowing spell. Both of your everflowing spells can be up to 3-points (2nd level).

At 20th level, both of your everflowing spells can be up to 5-points (3rd level).

Progeny

Starting at 12th level, your supernatural power has become so great that you can become a minor patron in your own right. You can imbue another creature with a small amount of magic power.

With a willing creature who can speak the same language as you, you can conduct a 10-minute ritual that consumes 1,000 rupees' worth of gemstones. It gains the ability to cast one 2-point spell from your spell list once without expending magic points, and regains the ability to cast this spell with this feature when it finishes a long rest.

You can conduct this ritual with up to three times, each with a different creature, but must finish a long rest between each ritual. If you imbue the same creature a subsequent time, the new spell replaces the previous, but it still can't cast its progeny spell until it finishes a long rest.

You can use your action to end any the effect of any of these rituals at any time. If you die, all of them end.

Dispelling Touch

At 14th level, you learn to channel your supernatural powers to thwart the power of another. As an action, you can touch a creature to end one spell, curse, bless, or bane affecting that creature. You can choose a specific spell or curse if you're aware of one affecting the target, otherwise the highest-level spell is affected. Once you use this feature to end an effect, you must finish a long rest before it can be used again.

If the creature is unwilling, you must succeed on a melee spell attack roll (using Charisma) to end the effect. On a failed attack roll, your action is wasted, but you need not rest to use this feature again.

Immutable Form

By 16th level, the extraordinary alterations to your senses and body are rooted firmly. You can no longer be magically transformed against your will, such as by the true polymorph spell, even if you are unconscious.

Scion Spell List

The following spells are available to all scions. The progenitor you choose at 1st level greatly expands your spell list. See the respective tab or page for that progenitor's full spell list: Armos, Dragon, Fairy, or Poe.

In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a scion spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Your spell saving throw DC is 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier.

When you make a spell attack roll, you roll a d20 and add both your proficiency bonus and your Charisma modifier.

Cantrips

You initially know two cantrips (or "unpowered spells") of your choice from your Armos Scion Spell List. You learn another cantrip from this list at 2nd level, 6th level, and 11th level. You can use your Improvement feature to learn even more cantrips, or replace cantrips you know with new ones.

Powered Spells Known

At 1st level, you know two 2-point spells from your Armos Scion Spell List. You learn a third spell from this list at 2nd level, and one more spell at every odd-numbered scion level thereafter as shown in Armos Scion Table.

Starting from 5th level in this class, you can instead learn spells up to but not exceeding your current Magic Limit. At 5th level for example, you Magic Limit increases to 3, so the spell you learn at this level can be a 3-point spell or lower.

If you are multiclassing, you only learn spells up to your scion magic limit, not your combined magic limit.

Each time you gain a level in this class, you can replace one scion spell you've learned with this feature with a new one you would be able to learn from your Armos Scion Spell List. The new spell cannot exceed your current Magic Limit.

You can use your Improvement feature to learn even more powered spells.

For example, consider fly, a 5-point spell. If your Magic Limit is high enough, you can overpower it to affect multiple creatures instead of only one.

Sentinel Spells

When casting a scion cantrip, you may use Strength in place of your normal spellcasting ability.

You can provide the somatic components of your scion spells even while wielding weapons or a shield in one or both hands.

Armo Senses

At 2nd level, your eyes take on a subtle white glow. You gain tremorsense out to a range of 10 feet.

Wearing medium or heavy armor no longer imposes disadvantage on your Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to move quietly.

Ambush Strike

Starting from 3rd level, the first time in a round you hit a creature that has yet to act in combat, add your scion level to the damage dealt. If the creature is surprised, if your attack hits it is automatically a critical hit.

Stone Skin

Starting from 3rd level, whenever you are hit by a weapon attack you can use your reaction to halve the damage you take from that attack. If you use this reaction, you automatically succeed on any saving throw made to maintain concentration caused by the attack.

Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, your capabilities improve in a fundamental but powerful way. At these levels, choose one of the following improvements:

  • Increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or two ability scores by 1 each. You cannot increase any ability score above its maximum (initially 20) using this feature.
  • Gain a feat of your choice.
  • Learn two new powered spells per your Spellcasting feature. These spells cannot exceed your Magic Limit for this level. Gain 2 magic points.
  • Learn two more cantrips from your scion spell list. Gain 2 magic points.

Additionally, you can replace one cantrip you've learned from this class with a new one.

Swift Spells

At 5th level, you learn to weave your scion spells more efficiently with other spells or actions.

When you use your action to cast a powered scion spell, you can use your bonus action to make one attack with a weapon or an unarmed strike, to Disengage, or to cast one scion cantrip you know that normally has a cast time of 1 action.

Intuition

By 6th level, you gain a strong intuitive understanding of constructs—your affinity—as detailed under your progenitor features. You become better able to understand the minds, the motives, and the physicality of these creatures. You are an expert on every Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma check made about or against creatures of this type. Being an expert lets you add double your proficiency bonus to applicable ability checks.

Altered Body

At 7th level, your body blends the lines between what is and what isn't construct. You become immune to harmful magic effects which only affect humanoids, such as the paralyze spell. You are affected by beneficial magic effects which only affect constructs.

You gain resistance to poison damage and psychic damage. You have advantage on any saving throw to avoid being poisoned or paralyzed.

You can hold your breath for up to 1 hour.

If you choose, your appearance also becomes significantly more stoic and statuesque: skin that is hard or cold, steely eyes, an artificial-sounding voice, or eerie motionlessness, among other possibilities your DM permits. These changes cannot be so drastic you become unrecognizable, nor so powerful your statistics change.

Statuesque

Starting from 7th level, you are indistinguishable from an inanimate statue while you remain motionless and don't breathe.

If you haven't moved, cast a spell, or made an attack roll since the start of your last turn, any attack roll you make has advantage.

Resilience

Your increasing familiarity with supernatural forces and physiological changes slowly renders you more capable of avoiding unconventional harm.

At 9th level, you gain proficiency in your choice of either Dexterity or Wisdom saving throws.

At 13th level, you gain proficiency in any one saving throw of your choice.

Starting from 18th level, you are proficient in all saving throws.

Stone Sentinel

By 10th level, your stone-skinned endurance and ever-watchful gaze has become such that no man nor monster can escape your guard.

  • A creature provokes an opportunity attack from you even if it takes the Disengage action before leaving your reach.
  • A creature provokes an opportunity attack from you if it hits you with an attack, or targets a creature other than you with an attack.
  • A creature provokes an opportunity attack from you if it casts a spell within your reach.

When you would be able to make an opportunity attack against a creature, you can instead cast a scion spell on that creature. The spell must have a casting time of 1 action and must target only that creature. When casting a spell in this way, you can choose for Strength to replace your normal spellcasting ability.

Everflowing Spells

At 11th level, the supernatural power surging within you can be released effortlessly into some of your more familiar spells. Select one 2-point (or 1st level) scion spell you know to be an everflowing spell. The spell you choose must have a casting time of 1 action. You can cast the chosen spell without expending magic points (or a spell slot). Overpowering such a spell requires additional magic points (or a higher level spell slot), as normal. You can change your everflowing spell(s) whenever you finish a long rest. Any spell you cast using this feature does not restore heart points; if such a spell has other effects, such as alleviating negative conditions, those effects still occur.

Starting at 17th level, you can select select a second everflowing spell. Both of your everflowing spells can be up to 3-points (2nd level).

At 20th level, both of your everflowing spells can be up to 5-points (3rd level).

Progeny

Starting at 12th level, your supernatural power has become so great that you can become a minor patron in your own right. You can imbue another creature with a small amount of magic power.

With a willing creature who can speak the same language as you, you can conduct a 10-minute ritual that consumes 1,000 rupees' worth of gemstones. It gains the ability to cast one 2-point spell from your spell list once without expending magic points, and regains the ability to cast this spell with this feature when it finishes a long rest.

You can conduct this ritual with up to three times, each with a different creature, but must finish a long rest between each ritual. If you imbue the same creature a subsequent time, the new spell replaces the previous, but it still can't cast its progeny spell until it finishes a long rest.

You can use your action to end any the effect of any of these rituals at any time. If you die, all of them end.

If the creature is unwilling, you must succeed on a melee spell attack roll (using Charisma) to end the effect. On a failed attack roll, your action is wasted, but you need not rest to use this feature again.

Guardian Body

At 15th level, your body becomes as invincible as a guardian stalker's. You have immunity to poison and psychic damage, and cannot be poisoned or paralyzed.

You have no need to breathe, eat, drink, or sleep, but you can still fall unconscious. To gain the benefits of rest, you can remain conscious throughout but must only engage in restful activity for the duration.

Immutable Form

By 16th level, the extraordinary alterations to your senses and body are rooted firmly. You can no longer be magically transformed against your will, such as by the true polymorph spell, even if you are unconscious.

This tab merges the scion class features with those of the dragon Scion subclass. See Dragon Scion for a list of the subclass features in isolation.

Starting equipment

This page or section is incomplete, and will eventually be expanded with more information.


Hearts

Heart Containers: 1d8 per scion level
Heart Points at 1st Level: 8 + Constitution modifier
Heart Points at Higher Levels: 1d8 (or 5) + Constitution modifier per scion level after 1st. If your 1d8 roll lands on a 1, you can re-roll the die and use the higher result.

Proficiency

If dragon scion is your first class, you have proficiency with the following. These are in addition to any from your and proficiency points.

Armor: Light and medium armor
Weapons: Simple weapons, rods; you can use Charisma as your casting ability with rods instead of Intelligence
Saving Throws: Constitution, Charisma
Skills: One of your choice from Animal Handling, Arcana, Athletics, and Intimidation
Languages: Lizal (or another language of your choice if you already know Lizal)

Proficiency Points

Option: Background
Legends of Hyrule doesn't have backgrounds under default rules. Proficiency points are meant to replace benefits provided by a traditional Background.
     If your campaign uses traditional Backgrounds, you gain no proficiency points, but instead are proficient in two skills of your choice from Arcana, Deception, History, Insight, Intimidation, Nature, Persuasion, and Religion. These proficiencies are in addition to any from your Background.

If your first class level is gained as a scion, you have a number of proficiency points equal to 5 + your Intelligence modifier. If your Intelligence modifier permanently increases, so too do your number of proficiency points. During character creation or during downtime, you can expend proficiency points to become proficient.

Retraining

Heroes don't always retain their skills forever.  Sometimes old methods are forgotten in favor of new means.  Each time you gain a level, you can forget up to 3 proficiency points' worth of benefits you gained with this feature.  Doing so lets you regain the points you invested.  You can then immediately invest these points into any other benefits in accordance with this feature, or save them to be assigned at later levels.

If you have multiple classes, you can only re-invest points in accordance with your first class.

Magic Meter

At 1st level, you gain a number of magic points equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 0). If your Charisma later increases, so too does your number of magic points. Each level you gain in this class after the first, you gain 2 more magic points.

Your magic points are expended primarily in spellcasting. Normally any magic points you've expended are fully replenished when you finish a long rest. Some features and magic items can otherwise restore magic points.

Spellcasting

Spell Slot Alternative
Some players may prefer traditional spell slot levels over Hyrulean magic points. If this is the case for you, the following adjustments.
     Spell Slots (replaces Magic Meter or Magic Limit). You initially have two 1st-level spell slots to cast scion spells. Starting from 2nd level, you gain spell slots at the same rate the ranger and paladin classes do (see SRD or PHB).
     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 death and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast death using either slot.
     Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher (replaces Powered Spells Known). You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from your progenitor's spell list. You learn a third spell from this list at 2nd level, and one more spell at every odd-numbered scion level thereafter. You can begin to learn 2nd-level spells when you reach 5th level, learn 3rd-level spells when you reach 9th level, learn 4th-level spells when you reach 13th level, and 5th-level spells when you reach 17th level. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the spells you know and replace it with another spell from your spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

As an inheritor of supernatural power, you inherently know how to cast a small array of spells. Casting these spells is a talent that feels instinctive to you and grows stronger with practice.

Magic Limit

To cast a spell, you must expend a number of magic points as determined by the spell.

You can cast a spell up to but not exceeding your "magic limit." Your magic limit defines the most many magic points you can expend when you cast a spell. Your magic limit is initially 2. This limit increases gradually with your level, as detailed in the Dragon Scion Table.

If you have levels in multiple spellcasting classes, your magic limit may be different, as described under multiclassing.

Spellcasting Ability

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your scion spells, as 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 scion spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Your spell saving throw DC is 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier.

When you make a spell attack roll, you roll a d20 and add both your proficiency bonus and your Charisma modifier.

Cantrips

You initially know two cantrips (or "unpowered spells") of your choice from your Dragon Scion Spell List. You learn another cantrip from this list at 2nd level, 6th level, and 11th level. You can use your Improvement feature to learn even more cantrips, or replace cantrips you know with new ones.

Powered Spells Known

At 1st level, you know two 2-point spells from your Dragon Scion Spell List. You learn a third spell from this list at 2nd level, and one more spell at every odd-numbered scion level thereafter as shown in Dragon Scion Table.

Starting from 5th level in this class, you can instead learn spells up to but not exceeding your current Magic Limit. At 5th level for example, you Magic Limit increases to 3, so the spell you learn at this level can be a 3-point spell or lower.

If you are multiclassing, you only learn spells up to your scion magic limit, not your combined magic limit.

Each time you gain a level in this class, you can replace one scion spell you've learned with this feature with a new one you would be able to learn from your Dragon Scion Spell List. The new spell cannot exceed your current Magic Limit.

You can use your Improvement feature to learn even more powered spells.

Overpowering a Spell

You can cast a powered spell with more magic points than required to potentially increase its power. This is called "overpowering" the spell. Only some spells can be overpowered, as each spell describes. When overpowering a spell, you still cannot expend magic points in excess of your Magic Limit.

For example, consider fly, a 5-point spell. If your Magic Limit is high enough, you can overpower it to affect multiple creatures instead of only one.

Raw Power

At 1st level, the bestial power of dragons enhances your physical and magical prowess with two benefits.

When you hit with an unarmed strike, you can deal damage bludgeoning equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier. If both hands are free, the 1d6 is instead a 1d8.

When casting any scion cantrip, you may use Strength in place of your normal spellcasting ability.

Dragon Senses

At 2nd level, your eyes take on a bold glow. You gain darkvision out to a range of 60 feet. If you already have darkvision due to race, its radius increases by 60 feet.

You gain proficiency in the Perception skill. If you are already proficient, you can instead gain proficiency in any other skill of your choice.

Dragon Rage

Although many dragons can be graceful or even serene, pity those who incur their wrath. Starting at 3rd level, you learn to supernaturally bolster your defenses in the throes of battle. Whenever you damage another creature with a powered scion spell (a scion spell that isn't a cantrip), you gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from the damaged creature(s) until the start of your next turn.

You can maintain continuous resistance by causing damage every turn with powered scion spells.

Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, your capabilities improve in a fundamental but powerful way. At these levels, choose one of the following improvements:

  • Increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or two ability scores by 1 each. You cannot increase any ability score above its maximum (initially 20) using this feature.
  • Gain a feat of your choice.
  • Learn two new powered spells per your Spellcasting feature. These spells cannot exceed your Magic Limit for this level. Gain 2 magic points.
  • Learn two more cantrips from your scion spell list. Gain 2 magic points.

Additionally, you can replace one cantrip you've learned from this class with a new one.

Swift Spells

At 5th level, you learn to weave your scion spells more efficiently with other spells or actions.

When you use your action to cast a powered scion spell, you can use your bonus action to make one attack with a weapon or an unarmed strike, to Disengage, or to cast one scion cantrip you know that normally has a cast time of 1 action.

Intuition

By 6th level, you gain a strong intuitive understanding of dragons—your affinity—as detailed under your progenitor features. You become better able to understand the minds, the motives, and the physicality of these creatures. You are an expert on every Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma check made about or against creatures of this type. Being an expert lets you add double your proficiency bonus to applicable ability checks.

Altered Body

By 7th level, your body has undergone deep physiological changes. You become immune to harmful magic effects which only affect humanoids, such as the paralyze spell. You are affected by beneficial magic effects which only affect dragons.

If you choose, your appearance becomes significantly more draconian from now on: sharp eyes, fangs, small horns, or even some scaled body parts, among other possibilities your DM permits. These changes cannot be so drastic you become unrecognizable, nor so powerful your statistics change.

Swift Dash

Starting from 7th level, when you use your action to cast a powered scion spell, you can use your bonus action to Dash.

Resilience

Your increasing familiarity with supernatural forces and physiological changes slowly renders you more capable of avoiding unconventional harm.

At 9th level, you gain proficiency in your choice of either Dexterity or Wisdom saving throws.

At 13th level, you gain proficiency in any one saving throw of your choice.

Starting from 18th level, you are proficient in all saving throws.

Dragon Shape

By 10th level, you've learned to transform parts of your body into those of a dragon. At the start of each of your turns, you can grow one of the following adaptions:

  • Fangs. Claws, fangs, and tail—or any combination thereof—grow from your body. While at least some of these are grown, your unarmed strike can deal slashing damage equal to 1d12 + your Strength modifier.
  • Wings. A pair of draconic wings emerge from your back. While present these wings grant you a fly speed of 40 feet. If while flying you are knocked prone, have your speed reduced to 0, or are otherwise deprived of the ability to move, you immediately fall.
  • Gills. You grow aquatic adaptations such as gills and fins. While present these grant a swim speed of 60 feet and allow you to breathe underwater as well as on land.
  • Legs. Four dragon limbs replace your legs, turning you into something of a draconic centaur. While present these give you a walking speed of 50 feet.
  • Eyes. A pair of keen, glowing dragon eyes replace your own. While present you can use your action to gain truesight to a range of 10 feet until the end of your next turn.
  • Lungs. A powerful pair of lungs fill your chest, surging with supernatural energy. While present, you can hold you breath for up to 1 hour. A creature that fails a saving throw against your breath of dragons spell takes half the spell's damage. Once per turn, when you cast a scion spell with breath in its name, add a d6 bonus die to the damage roll.

You can only have one of these adaptions at a time, but you can change which one at the start of each of your turns.

Starting at 15th level, you can maintain two of these adaptations at once, but can still change only one of them at the start of each of your turns.

Everflowing Spells

At 11th level, the supernatural power surging within you can be released effortlessly into some of your more familiar spells. Select one 2-point (or 1st level) scion spell you know to be an everflowing spell. The spell you choose must have a casting time of 1 action. You can cast the chosen spell without expending magic points (or a spell slot). Overpowering such a spell requires additional magic points (or a higher level spell slot), as normal. You can change your everflowing spell(s) whenever you finish a long rest. Any spell you cast using this feature does not restore heart points; if such a spell has other effects, such as alleviating negative conditions, those effects still occur.

Starting at 17th level, you can select select a second everflowing spell. Both of your everflowing spells can be up to 3-points (2nd level).

At 20th level, both of your everflowing spells can be up to 5-points (3rd level).

Progeny

Starting at 12th level, your supernatural power has become so great that you can become a minor patron in your own right. You can imbue another creature with a small amount of magic power.

With a willing creature who can speak the same language as you, you can conduct a 10-minute ritual that consumes 1,000 rupees' worth of gemstones. It gains the ability to cast one 2-point spell from your spell list once without expending magic points, and regains the ability to cast this spell with this feature when it finishes a long rest.

You can conduct this ritual with up to three times, each with a different creature, but must finish a long rest between each ritual. If you imbue the same creature a subsequent time, the new spell replaces the previous, but it still can't cast its progeny spell until it finishes a long rest.

You can use your action to end any the effect of any of these rituals at any time. If you die, all of them end.

Dispelling Touch

At 14th level, you learn to channel your supernatural powers to thwart the power of another. As an action, you can touch a creature to end one spell, curse, bless, or bane affecting that creature. You can choose a specific spell or curse if you're aware of one affecting the target, otherwise the highest-level spell is affected. Once you use this feature to end an effect, you must finish a long rest before it can be used again.

If the creature is unwilling, you must succeed on a melee spell attack roll (using Charisma) to end the effect. On a failed attack roll, your action is wasted, but you need not rest to use this feature again.

Immutable Form

By 16th level, the extraordinary alterations to your senses and body are rooted firmly. You can no longer be magically transformed against your will, such as by the true polymorph spell, even if you are unconscious.

Great Dragon

You learn to take the greatest form of dragon conceivable, likely far surpassing any dragon that could have served as your own progenitor. At 20th level, you can briefly assume the shape of a Gargantuan dragon at the start of your turn if you are able to take actions, lasting until the start of your next turn. Within this duration:

  • You gain the benefits of all your Dragon Shape adaptions at once, and each adaption with a speed has double its normal speed.
  • You are immune to all damage other than poison and psychic, and have advantage on all saving throws.
  • Your attack rolls all have advantage, and any creature that makes a saving throw against one of your scion spells has disadvantage on the save.
  • Any scion spell you cast costs 0 magic points (and does not consume a spell slot), and its damage dice are maximized.
  • If you make a Strength (Athletics) check or a Charisma (Intimidation) check, you roll a 20 on the d20 automatically.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a long rest before you can do so again.

If you have multiple classes, you can only re-invest points in accordance with your first class.

Magic Meter

At 1st level, you gain a number of magic points equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 0). If your Charisma later increases, so too does your number of magic points. Each level you gain in this class after the first, you gain 2 more magic points.

Your magic points are expended primarily in spellcasting. Normally any magic points you've expended are fully replenished when you finish a long rest. Some features and magic items can otherwise restore magic points.

Spellcasting

Spell Slot Alternative
Some players may prefer traditional spell slot levels over Hyrulean magic points. If this is the case for you, the following adjustments.
     Spell Slots (replaces Magic Meter or Magic Limit). You initially have two 1st-level spell slots to cast scion spells. Starting from 2nd level, you gain spell slots at the same rate the ranger and paladin classes do (see SRD or PHB).
     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 death and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast death using either slot.
     Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher (replaces Powered Spells Known). You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from your progenitor's spell list. You learn a third spell from this list at 2nd level, and one more spell at every odd-numbered scion level thereafter. You can begin to learn 2nd-level spells when you reach 5th level, learn 3rd-level spells when you reach 9th level, learn 4th-level spells when you reach 13th level, and 5th-level spells when you reach 17th level. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the spells you know and replace it with another spell from your spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

As an inheritor of supernatural power, you inherently know how to cast a small array of spells. Casting these spells is a talent that feels instinctive to you and grows stronger with practice.

Magic Limit

To cast a spell, you must expend a number of magic points as determined by the spell.

You can cast a spell up to but not exceeding your "magic limit." Your magic limit defines the most many magic points you can expend when you cast a spell. Your magic limit is initially 2. This limit increases gradually with your level, as detailed in the Fairy Scion Table.

If you have levels in multiple spellcasting classes, your magic limit may be different, as described under multiclassing.

Spellcasting Ability

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your scion spells, as 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 scion spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Your spell saving throw DC is 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier.

When you make a spell attack roll, you roll a d20 and add both your proficiency bonus and your Charisma modifier.

Cantrips

You initially know two cantrips (or "unpowered spells") of your choice from your Fairy Scion Spell List. You learn another cantrip from this list at 2nd level, 6th level, and 11th level. You can use your Improvement feature to learn even more cantrips, or replace cantrips you know with new ones.

Powered Spells Known

At 1st level, you know two 2-point spells from your Fairy Scion Spell List. You learn a third spell from this list at 2nd level, and one more spell at every odd-numbered scion level thereafter as shown in Fairy Scion Table.

Starting from 5th level in this class, you can instead learn spells up to but not exceeding your current Magic Limit. At 5th level for example, you Magic Limit increases to 3, so the spell you learn at this level can be a 3-point spell or lower.

If you are multiclassing, you only learn spells up to your scion magic limit, not your combined magic limit.

Each time you gain a level in this class, you can replace one scion spell you've learned with this feature with a new one you would be able to learn from your Fairy Scion Spell List. The new spell cannot exceed your current Magic Limit.

You can use your Improvement feature to learn even more powered spells.

Overpowering a Spell

You can cast a powered spell with more magic points than required to potentially increase its power. This is called "overpowering" the spell. Only some spells can be overpowered, as each spell describes. When overpowering a spell, you still cannot expend magic points in excess of your Magic Limit.

For example, consider fly, a 5-point spell. If your Magic Limit is high enough, you can overpower it to affect multiple creatures instead of only one.

Fairy Defense

Your body shimmers with a thin veil of force that thwarts attacks, akin to armor. Your AC cannot be lower than 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Charisma modifier. You can add a shield's bonus to this AC.

Fairy Senses

At 2nd level, you gain an innate understanding of the creatures around you, not unlike a fairy of navigation. You have advantage on any Intelligence check made to identify a creature's capabilities.

You also learn the light cantrip, and it does not count against your cantrips known. If you already know this cantrip, you can instead learn another cantrip of your choice from the Fairy Scion Spell List. When you cast light, its duration becomes "until dispelled."

Great Fairy of Healing

Fairies are exceptionally effective healers, and this begins to show in your capabilities at 3rd level. Whenever dice are rolled to determine the heart points regained from a scion spell you've cast, the roll is maximized. The creature regains the maximum heart points possible from the dice and you need not roll. This effect also applies to any scion spell you cast that grants temporary heart points.

Fairy Fountain

At 3rd level, those resting near you recover rapidly from their injuries. Whenever you or a creature within 60 feet of you finishes a short rest and expends Heart Container to regain heart points, the number rolled for each Heart Container cannot be lower than your Charisma modifier. Example: If a creature rolls a 1d8 for its Heart Container and lands a 2, but your Charisma modifier is +3, the roll is treated as a 3.

Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, your capabilities improve in a fundamental but powerful way. At these levels, choose one of the following improvements:

  • Increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or two ability scores by 1 each. You cannot increase any ability score above its maximum (initially 20) using this feature.
  • Gain a feat of your choice.
  • Learn two new powered spells per your Spellcasting feature. These spells cannot exceed your Magic Limit for this level. Gain 2 magic points.
  • Learn two more cantrips from your scion spell list. Gain 2 magic points.

Additionally, you can replace one cantrip you've learned from this class with a new one.

Swift Spells

At 5th level, you learn to weave your scion spells more efficiently with other spells or actions.

When you use your action to cast a powered scion spell, you can use your bonus action to make one attack with a weapon or an unarmed strike, to Disengage, or to cast one scion cantrip you know that normally has a cast time of 1 action.

Intuition

By 6th level, you gain a strong intuitive understanding of fairies—your affinity—as detailed under your progenitor features. You become better able to understand the minds, the motives, and the physicality of these creatures. You are an expert on every Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma check made about or against creatures of this type. Being an expert lets you add double your proficiency bonus to applicable ability checks.

Altered Body

By 7th level, your body has undergone deep physiological changes. You become immune to harmful magic effects which only affect humanoids, such as the paralyze spell. You are affected by beneficial magic effects which only affect fairies, fey, or celestials.

If you choose, your appearance becomes significantly more fairy-like from now on: hair of pastel colors, movements that shimmer or glow, smooth and pristine skin, graceful movements, or even fairy wings, among other possibilities. These changes cannot be so drastic you become unrecognizable, nor so powerful your statistics change.

Whether you gain wings or not, from now on you have a fly speed of 40 feet. If you already have a fly speed, or otherwise gain one (such as from the fly spell), that speed increases by 20 feet.

Self-Regeneration

At 7th level, you learn to draw out latent magical energy to heal yourself. When you cast any scion spell, you regain heart points equal to the number of magic points you expended. If you are already at full heart points, the excess is gained as temporary heart points. As normal, temporary heart points doesn't combine—any larger amount simply replaces a lesser amount.

Resilience

Your increasing familiarity with supernatural forces and physiological changes slowly renders you more capable of avoiding unconventional harm.

At 9th level, you gain proficiency in your choice of either Dexterity or Wisdom saving throws.

At 13th level, you gain proficiency in any one saving throw of your choice.

Starting from 18th level, you are proficient in all saving throws.

Radiant Surge

At 10th level, you learn to exert your healing capabilities into a powerful weapon. If you would restore heart points to a creature with a scion spell you've cast, you can instead cause that spell to deal harm. If you do so, the creature must make a Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, a creature takes damage equal to the heart points the spell would otherwise restore to the creature if it was humanoid. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage if it is undead or a fiend, and no damage if it is another creature type.

If a spell you've cast restores heart points to several creatures at once (such as lotus of life), you must choose for the spell to harm or heal—it cannot heal some creatures while damaging others. If a spell causes heart points to regained multiple times (such as great fairy's grace), a creature makes a separate saving throw for each time it would be affected, but you must decide whether the spell harms or heals when you first cast it.

Everflowing Spells

At 11th level, the supernatural power surging within you can be released effortlessly into some of your more familiar spells. Select one 2-point (or 1st level) scion spell you know to be an everflowing spell. The spell you choose must have a casting time of 1 action. You can cast the chosen spell without expending magic points (or a spell slot). Overpowering such a spell requires additional magic points (or a higher level spell slot), as normal. You can change your everflowing spell(s) whenever you finish a long rest. Any spell you cast using this feature does not restore heart points; if such a spell has other effects, such as alleviating negative conditions, those effects still occur.

Starting at 17th level, you can select select a second everflowing spell. Both of your everflowing spells can be up to 3-points (2nd level).

At 20th level, both of your everflowing spells can be up to 5-points (3rd level).

Progeny

Starting at 12th level, your supernatural power has become so great that you can become a minor patron in your own right. You can imbue another creature with a small amount of magic power.

With a willing creature who can speak the same language as you, you can conduct a 10-minute ritual that consumes 1,000 rupees' worth of gemstones. It gains the ability to cast one 2-point spell from your spell list once without expending magic points, and regains the ability to cast this spell with this feature when it finishes a long rest.

You can conduct this ritual with up to three times, each with a different creature, but must finish a long rest between each ritual. If you imbue the same creature a subsequent time, the new spell replaces the previous, but it still can't cast its progeny spell until it finishes a long rest.

You can use your action to end any the effect of any of these rituals at any time. If you die, all of them end.

Dispelling Touch

At 14th level, you learn to channel your supernatural powers to thwart the power of another. As an action, you can touch a creature to end one spell, curse, bless, or bane affecting that creature. You can choose a specific spell or curse if you're aware of one affecting the target, otherwise the highest-level spell is affected. Once you use this feature to end an effect, you must finish a long rest before it can be used again.

If the creature is unwilling, you must succeed on a melee spell attack roll (using Charisma) to end the effect. On a failed attack roll, your action is wasted, but you need not rest to use this feature again.

Great Fairy of Magic

At 15th level, your healing magic reaches even greater pinnacles. You gain two benefits:

  • Overflowing Life. If you cast an instantaneous scion spell that restores one creature to its maximum heart points, you can redirect any excessive heart point regeneration to another creature in range of the spell. Example: If you cast life to restore 15 heart points to a creature that is only missing 10 heart points, you can redirect 5 heart points of healing to another creature you can touch.
  • Magical Rest. Whenever you or a creature benefiting from your Invigorating Rest expends a Heart Container to regain heart points, that creature may also regain 1 magic point if that Heart Container isn't otherwise used to restore magic points.

Immutable Form

By 16th level, the extraordinary alterations to your senses and body are rooted firmly. You can no longer be magically transformed against your will, such as by the true polymorph spell, even if you are unconscious.

Royal Fairy

Your legacy as a fairy take shape in one of the following features, which you choose upon reaching 20th level:

  • Boundless Magic. You learn to overpower your scion spells past your magic limit. You can overpower your scion spells to 15 magic points (or 10th level), so long as you have magic points to spare.
  • Eternal Life. You learn mass heal, true resurrection, and eternal youth as if they were scion spells. You can cast these spells regardless of your magic limit. These spells cannot be used with your Radiant Surge feature.
  • Great Fairy's Gift. When you cast a scion spell with a duration of at least 1 minute that doesn't restore heart points, you can increase its duration to "concentration, until dispelled."

Starting equipment

This page or section is incomplete, and will eventually be expanded with more information.


Hearts

Heart Containers: 1d8 per scion level
Heart Points at 1st Level: 8 + Constitution modifier
Heart Points at Higher Levels: 1d8 (or 5) + Constitution modifier per scion level after 1st. If your 1d8 roll lands on a 1, you can re-roll the die and use the higher result.

Proficiency

If poe scion is your first class, you have proficiency with the following. These are in addition to any from your and proficiency points.

Armor: Light armor
Weapons: Simple weapons, rods; you can use Charisma as your casting ability with rods instead of Intelligence
Saving Throws: Constitution, Charisma
Skills: One of your choice from Deception, Intimidation, Persuasion, Religion, and Stealth
Languages: Ancient (or another language of your choice if you already know Ancient)

Proficiency Points

Option: Background
Legends of Hyrule doesn't have backgrounds under default rules. Proficiency points are meant to replace benefits provided by a traditional Background.
     If your campaign uses traditional Backgrounds, you gain no proficiency points, but instead are proficient in two skills of your choice from Arcana, Deception, History, Insight, Intimidation, Nature, Persuasion, and Religion. These proficiencies are in addition to any from your Background.

If your first class level is gained as a scion, you have a number of proficiency points equal to 5 + your Intelligence modifier. If your Intelligence modifier permanently increases, so too do your number of proficiency points. During character creation or during downtime, you can expend proficiency points to become proficient.

Retraining

Heroes don't always retain their skills forever.  Sometimes old methods are forgotten in favor of new means.  Each time you gain a level, you can forget up to 3 proficiency points' worth of benefits you gained with this feature.  Doing so lets you regain the points you invested.  You can then immediately invest these points into any other benefits in accordance with this feature, or save them to be assigned at later levels.

If you have multiple classes, you can only re-invest points in accordance with your first class.

Magic Meter

At 1st level, you gain a number of magic points equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 0). If your Charisma later increases, so too does your number of magic points. Each level you gain in this class after the first, you gain 2 more magic points.

Your magic points are expended primarily in spellcasting. Normally any magic points you've expended are fully replenished when you finish a long rest. Some features and magic items can otherwise restore magic points.

Spellcasting

Spell Slot Alternative
Some players may prefer traditional spell slot levels over Hyrulean magic points. If this is the case for you, the following adjustments.
     Spell Slots (replaces Magic Meter or Magic Limit). You initially have two 1st-level spell slots to cast scion spells. Starting from 2nd level, you gain spell slots at the same rate the ranger and paladin classes do (see SRD or PHB).
     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 death and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast death using either slot.
     Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher (replaces Powered Spells Known). You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from your progenitor's spell list. You learn a third spell from this list at 2nd level, and one more spell at every odd-numbered scion level thereafter. You can begin to learn 2nd-level spells when you reach 5th level, learn 3rd-level spells when you reach 9th level, learn 4th-level spells when you reach 13th level, and 5th-level spells when you reach 17th level. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the spells you know and replace it with another spell from your spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

As an inheritor of supernatural power, you inherently know how to cast a small array of spells. Casting these spells is a talent that feels instinctive to you and grows stronger with practice.

Magic Limit

To cast a spell, you must expend a number of magic points as determined by the spell.

You can cast a spell up to but not exceeding your "magic limit." Your magic limit defines the most many magic points you can expend when you cast a spell. Your magic limit is initially 2. This limit increases gradually with your level, as detailed in the Poe Scion Table.

If you have levels in multiple spellcasting classes, your magic limit may be different, as described under multiclassing.

Spellcasting Ability

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your scion spells, as 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 scion spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Your spell saving throw DC is 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier.

When you make a spell attack roll, you roll a d20 and add both your proficiency bonus and your Charisma modifier.

Cantrips

You initially know two cantrips (or "unpowered spells") of your choice from your Poe Scion Spell List. You learn another cantrip from this list at 2nd level, 6th level, and 11th level. You can use your Improvement feature to learn even more cantrips, or replace cantrips you know with new ones.

Powered Spells Known

At 1st level, you know two 2-point spells from your Poe Scion Spell List. You learn a third spell from this list at 2nd level, and one more spell at every odd-numbered scion level thereafter as shown in Poe Scion Table.

Starting from 5th level in this class, you can instead learn spells up to but not exceeding your current Magic Limit. At 5th level for example, you Magic Limit increases to 3, so the spell you learn at this level can be a 3-point spell or lower.

If you are multiclassing, you only learn spells up to your scion magic limit, not your combined magic limit.

Each time you gain a level in this class, you can replace one scion spell you've learned with this feature with a new one you would be able to learn from your Poe Scion Spell List. The new spell cannot exceed your current Magic Limit.

You can use your Improvement feature to learn even more powered spells.

Overpowering a Spell

You can cast a powered spell with more magic points than required to potentially increase its power. This is called "overpowering" the spell. Only some spells can be overpowered, as each spell describes. When overpowering a spell, you still cannot expend magic points in excess of your Magic Limit.

For example, consider fly, a 5-point spell. If your Magic Limit is high enough, you can overpower it to affect multiple creatures instead of only one.

Poe Tricks

If you hold a hooded lantern or similar item, you can wield as a club or a hammer instead of an improvised weapon.

When you consume a poe soul, you always regain the maximum amount of heart points from it, and you are filled as if eating a hearty meal.

Stal Senses

At 2nd level, your eyes take on a faint eerie glow. You gain darkvision out to a range of 60 feet. If you already have darkvision due to race, its radius increases by 60 feet.

If a creature you can see is within the range of your darkvision, you can discern without fail if the creature is alive, dead, undead, or construct. You gain no special insight into detecting or tracking this creature, only sensing its nature.

Poe Flight

At 3rd level, you gain a fly speed of 30 feet. This speed cannot be used to ascend more than 5 feet above the ground, but you can use it to prevent falling. You can maintain a constant altitude even over chasms or cliffs. If while flying you are knocked prone, have your speed reduced to 0, or are otherwise deprived of the ability to move, you immediately fall.

Poe Vanish

Starting from 3rd level, when you use your action to Dodge, you become invisible until the start of your next turn. You can maintain constant invisibility if you use this action at the start of every turn.

You cannot take a bonus action on a turn you use Poe Vanish, and you cannot use a reaction until the start of your next turn.

Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, your capabilities improve in a fundamental but powerful way. At these levels, choose one of the following improvements:

  • Increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or two ability scores by 1 each. You cannot increase any ability score above its maximum (initially 20) using this feature.
  • Gain a feat of your choice.
  • Learn two new powered spells per your Spellcasting feature. These spells cannot exceed your Magic Limit for this level. Gain 2 magic points.
  • Learn two more cantrips from your scion spell list. Gain 2 magic points.

Additionally, you can replace one cantrip you've learned from this class with a new one.

Swift Spells

At 5th level, you learn to weave your scion spells more efficiently with other spells or actions.

When you use your action to cast a powered scion spell, you can use your bonus action to make one attack with a weapon or an unarmed strike, to Disengage, or to cast one scion cantrip you know that normally has a cast time of 1 action.

Intuition

By 6th level, you gain a strong intuitive understanding of undead—your affinity—as detailed under your progenitor features. You become better able to understand the minds, the motives, and the physicality of these creatures. You are an expert on every Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma check made about or against creatures of this type. Being an expert lets you add double your proficiency bonus to applicable ability checks.

Altered Body

By 7th level, your body has undergone deep physiological changes. You become immune to harmful magic effects which only affect humanoids, such as the paralyze spell. You are affected by beneficial magic effects which only affect undead.

You gain resistance to poison damage and necrotic damage. You have advantage on any saving throw to avoid being poisoned or jinxed.

Increase your Constitution score by 10 (and your modifier by 5) when determining you long you can go without breath, food, or water without ill effects.

You gain a fly speed of 30 feet, which is unrestricted by altitude or ascension. You hover in place effortlessly, even if your speed is reduced to 0, you are knocked prone, or you fall unconscious. This effectively enhances or replaces your Poe Flight.

If you choose, your appearance also becomes considerably more ghastly or undead from now own: sullen red eyes, gangling limbs, black fingernails, or even an otherworldly black mist in your shadow, among other possibilities your DM permits. These changes cannot be so drastic you become unrecognizable, nor so powerful your statistics change.

Resilience

Your increasing familiarity with supernatural forces and physiological changes slowly renders you more capable of avoiding unconventional harm.

At 9th level, you gain proficiency in your choice of either Dexterity or Wisdom saving throws.

At 13th level, you gain proficiency in any one saving throw of your choice.

Starting from 18th level, you are proficient in all saving throws.

Necrotic Power

At 10th level, your power over necrotic magic surges. Any scion spell you cast that deals necrotic or psychic damage has those damage dice increased one step. For example, if a spell would normally deal 4d8 necrotic damage, it instead deals 4d10 necrotic damage when you cast it. You cannot increase a damage die above d12 with this feature.

In addition to dealing more damage, your necrotic spells also rip through resistances more easily. Your scion spells ignore any damage resistance a creature has to necrotic damage. Your scion spells treat any immunity to necrotic damage as though it was damage resistance instead.

At 20th level, your necrotic power is so overwhelming that your damage dice instead increase by two steps; 4d8 becomes 4d12, for example.

Everflowing Spells

At 11th level, the supernatural power surging within you can be released effortlessly into some of your more familiar spells. Select one 2-point (or 1st level) scion spell you know to be an everflowing spell. The spell you choose must have a casting time of 1 action. You can cast the chosen spell without expending magic points (or a spell slot). Overpowering such a spell requires additional magic points (or a higher level spell slot), as normal. You can change your everflowing spell(s) whenever you finish a long rest. Any spell you cast using this feature does not restore heart points; if such a spell has other effects, such as alleviating negative conditions, those effects still occur.

Starting at 17th level, you can select select a second everflowing spell. Both of your everflowing spells can be up to 3-points (2nd level).

At 20th level, both of your everflowing spells can be up to 5-points (3rd level).

Progeny

Starting at 12th level, your supernatural power has become so great that you can become a minor patron in your own right. You can imbue another creature with a small amount of magic power.

With a willing creature who can speak the same language as you, you can conduct a 10-minute ritual that consumes 1,000 rupees' worth of gemstones. It gains the ability to cast one 2-point spell from your spell list once without expending magic points, and regains the ability to cast this spell with this feature when it finishes a long rest.

You can conduct this ritual with up to three times, each with a different creature, but must finish a long rest between each ritual. If you imbue the same creature a subsequent time, the new spell replaces the previous, but it still can't cast its progeny spell until it finishes a long rest.

You can use your action to end any the effect of any of these rituals at any time. If you die, all of them end.

Dispelling Touch

At 14th level, you learn to channel your supernatural powers to thwart the power of another. As an action, you can touch a creature to end one spell, curse, bless, or bane affecting that creature. You can choose a specific spell or curse if you're aware of one affecting the target, otherwise the highest-level spell is affected. Once you use this feature to end an effect, you must finish a long rest before it can be used again.

If the creature is unwilling, you must succeed on a melee spell attack roll (using Charisma) to end the effect. On a failed attack roll, your action is wasted, but you need not rest to use this feature again.

Eternal Body

At 15th level, your body surpasses the limits of life, death, and undeath. You have immunity to poison and necrotic damage, and cannot be poisoned or jinxed.

You have no need to breathe, eat, drink, or sleep, but you can still fall unconscious. To gain the benefits of rest, you must engage in only restful activity for the duration of the rest period even if you remain conscious throughout.

Sacrificial Magic

At 15th level, you learn to sacrifice your own life energy to fuel your magical powers. As a bonus action, you can sacrifice any number of Heart Containers to regain magic points for each one. The Heart Containers are lost as if you expended them to recover during a short rest, and are regained as normal when you complete a long rest.

Once you decide how many Heart Containers to sacrifice, roll the die for each, then regain magic points equal to half of the combined result. You can only regain magic points that were expended on scion spells or features.

Immutable Form

By 16th level, the extraordinary alterations to your senses and body are rooted firmly. You can no longer be magically transformed against your will, such as by the true polymorph spell, even if you are unconscious.

Melody of Darkness

At 20th level, your mere presence can drain energy and life of that which surrounds you. If a creature you detect starts its turn within 120 feet of you, you can choose for it to take 2 necrotic damage at the start of its turn. At the start of your turn, you can choose any plant objects to take this damage as well; grass withers instantly, and trees rot within minutes.
