Sage of Forest is one of several possible subclasses you can gain as a member of the sage class.

Your subclass affects which spells you can prepare as a sage, and what proficiencies you gain at 1st level. Your subclass grants more features at 2nd, 6th, 10th, and 14th levels.

Domain Proficiencies

Your supernatural affinity with forest instills you with knowledge and skill of mysterious origin. Your sage capabilities bloom with several proficiencies.

You gain proficiency with hide armor, boomerangs, hand crossbows, shortswords, and whips.

You gain proficiency in one skill of your choice from Animal Handling, Nature, or Survival.

If this is your first class, you can read, write, and speak one language of your choice from Ancient, Blin, and Deku.

Forest Path

Each forest sage embodies their domain in a different way—each way is merely one path of many to all reach a similar destination. Your chosen path encompasses supernatural talents and aptitudes that feel natural. At 2nd level, you gain one of the following paths of your choice.

You can later change your path or follow an additional one with your Improvement feature.

Climber

• Your speed isn't reduced while climbing.
• If you take damage from falling, you can use your reaction to halve the damage you take.
• You become proficient in the Athletics skill. If already proficient, you gain 2 proficiency points.

Druid

You gain the druidcraft cantrip, and it does not count against your cantrips known. If you already have this cantrip, you instead gain another cantrip of your choice from your sage spell list.

You become an expert in the Animal Handling skill.

Fairy Ocarina

You gain proficiency with another musical instrument of your choice. You can use a musical instrument which you are proficient as the spellcasting focus for your sage spells. While manipulating it, you can perform the somatic components of your sage spells without a free hand.

When you cast life or heal, the target is absolved of the deafened, frightened, jinxed, and poisoned conditions.

You gain the message cantrip, and it does not count against your cantrips known. If you already have this cantrip, you instead gain another cantrip of your choice from your sage spell list.

Nimble Defense

While you are wearing light armor, hide armor, or no armor, you gain a +1 bonus to your AC and to Dexterity saving throws. This bonus cannot increase your AC above 25 (before adding a shield).

Ranger

You gain proficiency with scimitars and longbows.

You become an expert in the Survival skill.

Legacy of Forest

Starting from 6th level, the grace and poise of past sages begins to well up within you. You decide how your newfound resilience takes shape with one of the following benefits:

• Satori's Stride. Moving through nonmagical difficult terrain costs you no extra movement.
• Saria's Discourse. You can telepathically communicate with any creature under your blessing, regardless of distance, so long as you share a language with the blessed creature.
• Malon's Heart. You have advantage on every Charisma check made to interact with a beast.
• Gage's Wayfinding. You have advantage on any ability check made to navigate or avoid becoming lost, as does any creature subject to your blessing.

Forest Divinity

At 14th level, you learn to augment your banes, blessings, or magic with truly divine power from the gods. You gain one of the following benefits:

• Ordona's Sanctuary. When a beast or plant attacks and hits you or a creature under your blessing, the baned creature must make a Wisdom saving throw against your sage spell DC. On a failed save, the creature must choose a different target, or the attack automatically misses. On a successful save, the creature is immune to this effect for 24 hours.
• Farore's Forbiddance. When a creature under your bane moves, the creature must spend 2 feet of movement for every 1 foot moved. During the baned creature's turn, you can use your reaction to end the bane and teleport the creature back to the space in which its turn started.
• Maku's Message. You can telepathically communicate with any creature under your bless or bane, regardless of distance or language barriers. As a reaction, you can end the bless or bane to teleport the creature to an unoccupied space adjacent to you if it is willing. (If you already have Saria's Discourse, you can replace it with a new Forest Legacy upon gaining this feature.)
• Malanya's Revival. You always have the revivify spell prepared and it doesn't count against your prepared spells. While a creature under your blessing is at 0 heart points or has died within the past minute, you can end the blessing (no action required) to bring that creature back to life with 1 heart point. This effect cannot affect a construct or undead, can't bring a creature back from death caused by old age, and cannot restore any missing body parts.
