Classes→ Sage→ Sage of Water

Sage of Water 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 water instills you with knowledge and skill of mysterious origin. Your sage capabilities rouse with several proficiencies.

You gain proficiency with scimitars, pikes, and ice rods.

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

Supernatural Swimming

When you immerse yourself in water, the water itself seems to flow with you. Starting from 2nd level, your speed is not reduced while swimming. If you already have a swim speed or otherwise gain one, you never provoke opportunity attacks when you use that swim speed to move.

Water Path

Each water 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.

Amphibian

You can breathe both air and water.

While swimming, you can use your bonus action to Dash.

Biologist

You become proficient in the Animal Handling and Nature skills. If already proficient in either skill, you instead gain 2 proficiency points per skill, which can either be invested immediately or saved for later.

You are an expert in any Intelligence (Nature) check made to recall lore about aquatic creatures.

Lulu's Ballad

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 blinded, deafened, ignited, paralyzed, and jinxed conditions.

You gain the shape water 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.

Mariner

You become proficient in the Survival skill. If already proficient, you can instead gain 2 proficiency points.

You become proficient with water vehicles.

You are an expert in any Intelligence check made in regards to oceanic maps or geography, as well as any check made to navigate at sea.

Sage of Ice

You have resistance to cold damage. You can treat slippery ice and thin ice as normal terrain.

Whenever you cast a sage spell that deals damage, you can choose for the spell to deal cold damage in place of its normal damage type.

Legacy of Water

Starting from 6th level, the aquatic majesty of past sages begins to well up within you. At this level you gain one of the following benefits:

• Mipha's Grace. When a creature under your blessing takes damage, you can use your reaction to end the blessing and cast a sage spell on that creature. The spell must be one you already have prepared and must normally have a cast time of 1 action. Casting the spell in this way still consumes magic points (or spell slots), but you can ignore the normal range of the spell. If the spell affects an area, you must choose the hit creature as the center point. During your next turn, you can't cast any spell other than a cantrip.
• Ruto's Imperative. You can use your bonus action to Disengage, Dash, or Hide. You can't use this feature again until you next roll initiative.
• Carben's Flow. You have advantage on saving throws to avoid being paralyzed, stunned, or petrified.
• Slippery Chu. You cannot be ignited. You have advantage on any ability check or saving throw made to escape a grapple. Whenever you bless a creature, it is soaked.

Water Divinity

At 14th level, you learn to enhance your supernatural gifts with truly divine power from the gods. You gain one of the following benefits:

• Veil of Jabun. You have a swim speed of 60 feet, have no need to breathe, and cannot be ignited or petrified. All friendly creatures within 60 feet of you enjoy these benefits as well unless you decide otherwise. (If you have the Amphibian Path when you first gain this feature, you can immediately replace it with a new Water Path.)
• Leviathan's Purge. Your banes wash away the enemy's resilience. Any creature under your bane does not benefit from any damage resistance. If the creature you baned succeeds on a saving throw to halve the damage it takes, you can use your reaction to force that save to fail instead, ending the bane after the damage is dealt.
• Nayru's Shell. As an action, you can consume one use of your Bless or Bane feature to give an adjacent creature a number of temporary heart points equal to your sage level. While these temporary heart points persist, any damage the creature takes from nonmagical weapons and attacks is reduced by 5. Multiple instances of damage reduction do not stack; only the largest applies.
• Faron's Divination. You can detect movements in water with supernatural clarity. While you are submerged in water, you have truesight into all contiguous water within 30 feet of you. Any creature adjacent to you is also subject to your truesight if it is soaked.
