Wizzrobe
Classes→ Researcher
Contents
Wizzrobe is one of several possible subclasses you can gain at the 2nd level of the researcher class.
Your subclass affects which spells you can learn as a researcher. Your subclass grants features at 2nd, 6th, 10th, 14th, 18th, and 20th levels.
A witch is perhaps the most renowned and versatile of researchers. Their potions are coveted for healing wounds, and their poisons sought for bringing down kings. Although the magic of a witch is perhaps more subtle than the flashiness of a wizzrobe or the straightforward nature of a technomancer, it is easily the most versatile. Witchcraft includes a wide array of spells—far beyond simple medicines and poisons, they can cast spells to fling acid, enable flight, create illusions, heal wounds, and even twist dimensions.
Magic Points
At 2nd level, and every researcher level you gain after this, your magic points increase by 6.
School Proficiencies
At 2nd level, you gain proficiency in the Arcana skill. If you are already proficient, you may instead gain proficiency in one skill from Animal Handling, Engineering, History, Medicine, Nature, and Religion.
You also learn to read, write, and speak one language from Blin, Stal, or Twilit.
Elemental Affinity
Most wizzrobes specialize in casting a specific type of damaging magic. At 2nd level, choose cold, fire, or lightning.
When you cast a spell that deals damage of your chosen type, you can increase its spell save DC by 2, or gain a +2 bonus to its attack roll.
You gain resistance to your chosen damage type. If you otherwise have resistance, you also gain advantage on all saving throws to mitigate or avoid damage of that type.
Depending on your choice, however, you also gain vulnerability to a certain type of damage:
- Cold: You have fire vulnerability.
- Fire: You have cold vulnerability.
- Lightning: You have thunder vulnerability.
Rod Evocation
At 6th level, you learn to wield magical rods with greater ease. The amount of magic points you need to use any rod's effect is reduced by 1. If the rod's damage type matches your Affinity, the amount is instead reduced by 2.
Wizzwarp
At 6th level, if you do not already know misty step spell, you learn it. If you do already have it, you can gain another wizzrobe spell you would otherwise be able to learn of 3-points or lower. In any case, this new spell does not count against your Spells Known.
You can cast misty step by expending only 1 magic point.
Blast Magic
At 10th level, your raw magic power to blast apart enemies comes into its own.
Whenever you cast a researcher spell with a duration of "Instantaneous" that deals damage of a type matching your Affinity, you increase the damage one target takes by an amount equal to your Intelligence modifier. If a successful saving throw halves this spell's damage, it also halves the damage added by your Intelligence modifier.
Whenever you cast any spell that deals your Affinity damage type, that spell bypasses damage resistance.
Elemental Paragon
At 14th level, you gain immunity to your Affinity damage type. You are also no longer vulnerable to the correlating damage type, unless you would be for reasons not detailed under Elemental Affinity.
Piercing Magic
At 18th level, your magic overwhelms defenses both canny and uncanny. Any spell you cast ignores damage resistance. If a creature would be immune to the damage from one of your spells, it instead takes half the spell's damage.
Weather Permeation
At 18th level, your raw elemental power is so great it affects the climate in your immediate vicinity. The effect depends on the damage type you chose for Elemental Affinity.
- Cold: The temperature within a 200-foot radius of you plummets drastically, to the point of extreme cold. You can choose to mitigate this effect up to normal temperatures. Any creature you mentally designate is shielded from this cold.
- Fire: The temperature within a 200-foot radius of you raises drastically, to the point of extreme heat. You can choose to decrease this effect down to normal temperatures. Any creature you mentally designate is shielded from this heat.
- Lightning: A small rain cloud about 200 feet across forms over you low in the sky, but only slightly lower than the naturally occurring sky. This rain cloud provides constant shade for the vicinity in which you walk, and endlessly pours light rain at your will. It will not follow you indoors but instead flies overhead in whatever structure you enter. You can choose to mitigate the cloud entirely, or to provide pockets of sunlight through as you mentally designate.
You can choose to suppress this feature at will, and it ends automatically if you fall unconscious. The effect is gradual, taking 1 minute to form or dissipate.
Master Wizzrobe
At 20th level, you ascend to a true master of elemental magic. You gain all the benefits from the features Elemental Affinity, Rod Evocation, Blast Magic, and Elemental Paragon regardless of which damage type you initially chose for Elemental Affinity.
Whenever you finish a short rest, you can choose a new type of Weather Permeation from among cold, fire, and lightning.
You have advantage on all Intelligence (Arcana) checks and Charisma (Intimidation) checks.
