In Hyrule, a researcher delves into ancient tomes, libraries, ruins, and more in the search for arcane knowledge. Most often a researcher's effort comes to fruition in a wide variety of magic. Unlike a sage or scion who is gifted their supernatural powers, a researcher proactively learns, studies, and practices the esoteric art of spellcasting.
     In proper society, most researchers are considered oddballs at best and villains at worst. Their unusual practices and oddly inquisitive nature is often off-putting to common folk, but those aware of their supernatural powers have good reason to fear them.

Hearts

Heart Containers: 1d6 per researcher level

Heart Points at 1st Level: 6 + Constitution modifier

Heart Points at Higher Levels: 1d6 (or 4) + Constitution modifier per researcher level after 1st. If your 1d6 roll lands on a 1, you can re-roll the die and use the higher result.

Proficiencies

If researcher is your first class, you have proficiency with the following. These are in addition to your proficiency points.

Armor: None

Weapons: Rods, clubs, daggers, darts, staves, and slingshots

Saving Throws: Intelligence, Wisdom

Skills: Arcana

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 the Arcana skill plus two more skills of your choice from Animal Handling, History, Insight, Medicine, Nature, Performance, Persuasion, and Religion. These proficiencies are in addition to any from your Background.

If your first class level is gained as a researcher, you have a number of proficiency points equal to 3 + 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.

• You can invest 1 point to become proficient in History, any artisan's tool, any musical instrument, water vehicles, land vehicles, or any language.
• You can invest 2 points to become proficient with any professional tool or in any skill from Animal Handling, Medicine, Nature, and Religion.
• You can invest 3 points to become proficient in any other skill.

Retraining

Heroes don't always retain their skills forever.  Sometimes old methods are forgotten in favor of new lessons.  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 Intelligence modifier. If your Intelligence later increases, so too does your number of stamina points. Each level you gain in this class after the first, you gain more magic points as determined by your School of Research.

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, make the following adjustments.      Spell Slots (replaces Magic Meter and Magic Limit). You initially have two 1st-level spell slots to cast researcher spells. Starting from 2nd level, you gain spell slots at the same rate the bard, cleric, sorcerer, and wizard 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 warping step and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast warping step using either slot.      Powered Spells Known. What spells you can learn with this feature are governed by your spell slots, not your Magic Limit, but you otherwise learn spells at the same rate. You can learn any spell of 1st-level or higher that does not exceed your highest level spell slot. Each time you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of these spells you've learned with a new spell from your school's spell list if the new spell doesn't exceed your highest level spell slot.

As one who investigates and studies magic, you recite incantations and manipulate material components in ways that require extensive, mentally-demanding practice and memorization.

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 by 1 at every odd-numbered researcher level thereafter, at 4th level, at 10th level, and at 18th level. See the researcher table.

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

Researcher spells of 10-points or higher are particularly taxing to cast. Upon casting one, you must finish a short rest before you cast another spell of 10-points or higher.

Spellcasting Ability

Intelligence is your casting ability for researcher spells, since you learn your spells through dedicated study and memorization. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a spell learned through this class and when making an attack roll with one.

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

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

Cantrips

You initially know two cantrips (or "unpowered spells") of your choice from the following list:

Air Slash	You form a blade of air to strike a distant creature. If the target is airborne, you have advantage on the attack roll.
Blast Bolt	You detonate volatile energy with a melee spell attack. If your attack misses, you take damage and are pushed back.
Candle	Create a five-foot sphere of flame which lingers for a minute, damaging creatures it touches.
Cryonis	Upon a relatively flat plane of liquid water at least five by five feet, you create a pillar of magic ice.
Light	You touch one object, causing it to shed bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet
Mending	This spell repairs a single break or tear in an object you touch.
Minor Illusion	You create a sound or an image of an object (not a creature) within range that lasts for 1 minute.
Prestidigitation	You create one of several minor magical effects.
Ray of Radiance	You hurl a ball of light, dealing radiant damage and briefly illuminating the target.
Razor Tome	Razor-sharp parchment flies out to slash one or more nearby creatures.
Sage Hand	Conjure a translucent, floating hand that can manipulate objects at range.
Sandcast	You hurl a swirling mass of sand at a creature to deal damage. A hit creature is damaged and suffers disadvantage on a Wisdom (Perception) checks or ranged attack roll.
Shocking Grasp	Lightning springs from your hand to deliver a shock to a creature you try to touch.
Touch Wind	You seize the air and compel it to create one of several minor effects.

Any cantrips you learn after 1st level can be drawn from the expanded spell list you gain from your School of Research. You learn another cantrip from your expanded list at 2nd level, at 5th level, and 9th level. You can use your Improvement feature to replace cantrips you know, or learn entirely new cantrips.

Powered Spells Known

At 1st level, you know two spells from the following list:

Flying Object	A Small nearby object shoots up to 100 feet in a straight line, potentially damaging a creature in its path.
Illusory Script	You write a script that appears true to creatures you designate, but illusory to all other creatures.
Tremor	You cause the ground around you to wildly shake, knocking nearby creatures prone and creating difficult terrain.
Warping Step	You teleport to an unoccupied space you can see up to 30 feet away.

Detect Magic	Sense the presence of magic within 30 feet of you.
Disguise Self	Cause yourself to appear different for the duration.
Feather Fall	Your reaction safely slows the descent for up to five creatures within 60 feet of you.
Fog Cloud	You create a sphere of fog within range.
Grease	Slick grease covers a patch of ground, potentially knocking creatures prone.
Identify	You identify what spells are affecting a creature or object, or learn a magic item's properties.
Image	Create the image of an object, a creature, or some other visible phenomenon that is no larger than a 20-foot cube.
Mage Armor	A creature you touch gains an AC of 13 + its Dexterity modifier.
Perceive Invisibility	For at least 1 minute, you see invisible creatures and objects as if they were visible.
Unseen Servant	Create an invisible, Medium object that performs simple tasks at your bonus action command until the spell ends.

At 2nd level, you learn four additional 1-point or 2-point spells (or "1st-level spells"). At this level, your spell list expands to include a much wider variety of spells as decided by your School of Research. You can choose to learn any of your new spells from the expanded spell list appropriate to your school.

Starting from 3rd level in this class, you learn one more powered spell each time you gain a level in this class. You choose which spells to learn from the list available to your School of Research. A spell you choose cannot have points exceeding the Magic Limit of your new researcher level, as shown in the researcher table.

Each time you gain a level in this class, you can also replace one researcher spell you've learned with this feature with a new one you would be able to learn from your schools's spell list. The new spell you choose can be higher than the spell it replaces, but cannot exceed your current Magic Limit.

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

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

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.

Overpowering a researcher spell to 10-points or higher is particularly taxing, as described under your Magic Limit feature.

Wise Defense

You can predict and read opponents' attacks to evade them, rather than rely primarily your reaction time or nimbleness of movement. When you would add your Dexterity modifier to your AC, you can choose to add your Wisdom modifier instead. You cannot use this feature if you are already adding your Wisdom modifier to your AC.

School of Research

When you reach 2nd level, you choose a School of Research that represents the area of study, or the type of magic, upon which you focus your efforts the most. Your choice greatly expands your spell list, allowing you to learn from a wider variety of spells than before. Your choice grants you features at 2nd level and every four levels thereafter: 6th, 10th, 14th, 18th, and 20th.

• As a technomancer, you specialize in enhancing weapons and armor with ancient magic. Your spells often invoke force and protection more than other researchers'.
• As a twilit, you specialize in arcane magic that was lost long ago when its practitioners were banished to the Twilight Realm.
• As a witch, you wield versatile spells that manipulate allies and foes alike. You have relative mastery over flight, poisons, and potions.
• As a wizzrobe, you specialize in destructive magic that draws from the elements. Your devastating spells can incinerate foes or freeze them solid.

Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, your capabilities evolve 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. This cannot increase any ability score above 20 unless you have a feature that increases your ability score maximum.
• Gain a feat of your choice.
• Learn two new powered spells per your Spellcasting feature. The spells chosen cannot exceed your Magic Limit for this level. Gain 2 more magic points.

Each time you gain this feature, you can also replace one of your cantrips with a new one from your school's spell list.

Studied Skill

At 7th level, your further studies grant you greater expertise in a practical area of study. Choose one skill from Arcana, Engineering, History, Medicine, and Nature. You become an expert in the chosen skill: double your proficiency bonus for ability checks which use the skill.

Magic Sense

Magic has become ingrained in your mind so thoroughly it is influencing your senses. Starting from 13th level, you have advantage on Intelligence (Investigation) and Wisdom (Perception) checks to notice spells or magic effects.

You learn the detect magic spell per your Spellcasting feature, but it doesn't count against your Spells Known. If you already have learned this spell, you can instead learn another 2-point (1st-level) researcher spell you would otherwise be able to learn. You can cast detect magic without expending magic points (or a spell slot).

Spell Resistance

At 15th level, your understanding of magic enables you to resist spells with enviable ease. You have advantage on saving throws against spells and resistance to damage from spells.

Researcher Spell List

The following spells are available to all researchers. The School of Research you choose at 2nd level expands your spell list. See technomancer, twilit, witch, or wizzrobe for the respective school's expanded spell list.

As a technomancer, your study focuses on a specific, ancient and mostly-forgotten form of magic revolving around unique material components. This form of magic is sometimes referred to as 'technology,' hence the common name of technomancers. Those who study your craft are known under other titles as well, including arcanists, doctors, historians, machinists, professors, and tinkers.

Compared to other researchers, your magic focuses more around manipulating and transmuting objects. You can even create or enhance weapons and armor that can be utilized by your allies.

Any cantrips you learn after 1st level can be drawn from the expanded spell list you gain from your School of Research, technomancer.

Unseen Servant	Create an invisible, Medium object that performs simple tasks at your bonus action command until the spell ends.

At 2nd level, you learn four additional 1-point or 2-point spells (or "1st-level spells"). At this level, your spell list expands to include a much wider variety of spells as decided by your School of Research, technomancer. You can choose to learn any of your new spells from the expanded spell list appropriate to your school.

Starting from 3rd level in this class, you learn one more powered spell each time you gain a level in this class. You choose which spells to learn from the list available to your School of Research, technomancer, at the bottom of this page. A spell you choose cannot have points exceeding the Magic Limit of your new researcher level, as shown in the technomancer table.

Each time you gain a level in this class, you can also replace one researcher spell you've learned with this feature with a new one you would be able to learn from your schools's spell list. The new spell you choose can be higher than the spell it replaces, but cannot exceed your current Magic Limit.

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

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

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.

Overpowering a researcher spell to 10-points or higher is particularly taxing, as described under your Magic Limit feature.

Wise Defense

You can predict and read opponents' attacks to evade them, rather than rely primarily your reaction time or nimbleness of movement. When you would add your Dexterity modifier to your AC, you can choose to add your Wisdom modifier instead. You cannot use this feature if you are already adding your Wisdom modifier to your AC.

Technomancy Proficiencies

At 2nd level, your technological studies grant you several more proficiencies.

You gain proficiency with all simple weapons, with light armor, with shields (but not heavy shields), and with bombs.

You become proficient in the Engineering skill. If you were already proficient in this skill, you can instead gain proficiency in another skill from Animal Handling, History, Medicine, Nature, and Religion.

You become proficient with tinker's tools. If you are already proficient, you can instead gain proficiency in any one artisan's tool.

Versatile Casting

At 2nd level, you learn to cast spells with nimble ease. You can perform the somatic components of your researcher spells even when you have objects in one or both hands. == Improvement == When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, your capabilities evolve 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. This cannot increase any ability score above 20 unless you have a feature that increases your ability score maximum.
• Gain a feat of your choice.
• Learn two new powered spells per your Spellcasting feature. The spells chosen cannot exceed your Magic Limit for this level. Gain 2 more magic points.

Each time you gain this feature, you can also replace one of your cantrips with a new one from your school's spell list.

Ancient Cores

At 6th level, you learn to enhance weapons, armor, or other objects with arcane technology that draws upon your knowledge and your own magic reserves. You have a number of ancient cores equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1 core). An ancient core is a manifestation of your magic, which is formless unless it is applied to another item.

Over a long rest, you can work with an object using your tinker's tools to place one of your cores into the object, giving it a bonus and consuming the core.

• If you enhance a simple or martial weapon, it gains a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with that weapon.
• If you enhance armor other than a shield, it grants its wearer a +1 bonus to AC (but cannot be used to exceed an AC of 25 before applying a shield).
• If you enhance a shield, it grants its wearer a +1 bonus to AC in addition to the shield's normal bonus. Any object you enhance becomes magical.

The maximum cores you can place in a single object is initially 1, but this limit increases by 1 every four levels as shown in the technomancer table: 2 cores at 10th level, 3 cores at 14th level, and 4 cores at 18th level.

Although you can enhance an object that is already magical, you cannot increase its bonus to by higher than your core limit. A knight's weapon for example has a +1 bonus, so you couldn't increase this bonus to +2 until you reached 10th level, but doing so would only require one core instead of two.

You can choose to regain any or all of your cores at any time, over any distance, as an action. Doing so ends the bonus or enhancement provided by those cores.

Weapon'gineering

Starting at 6th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. Additionally, you can cast a technomancer cantrip in place of one of those attacks (but not in place of both attacks).

As your level increases, when you cast more powerful technomancer spells in place of this cantrip. From 10th level onward, you can cast a spell of 2-points or fewer (1st level or lower). From 14th level on, a spell up to 3-points (up to 2nd level). From 18th level, a spell up to 4-points. From 20th level, a spell up to 5-points (3rd level). This is summarized in the Technomancer Table. == Studied Skill== At 7th level, your further studies grant you greater expertise in a practical area of study. Choose one skill from Arcana, Engineering, History, Medicine, and Nature. You become an expert in the chosen skill: double your proficiency bonus for ability checks which use the skill.

Ancient Enhancements

Starting from 10th level, your gain four more ancient cores (equaling 4 + your Intelligence modifier). From now on you can also place up to 2 cores into a single object.

You become able to dynamically apply cores. Whenever you apply a core, you can apply an enhancement you have learned instead of the normal bonus provided by the prerequisite number of cores. This benefit replaces the bonus your cores would normally give to weapons and armor. The Flame Weapon enhancement for example costs 2 cores, so adding this enhancement to a a weapon would still require you to add at least 2 cores, and those two cores wouldn't provide their default benefit of +2 to attack and bonus rolls.

You learn three 1-core or 2-core enhancements from the following list. Click an enhancement's name to see more details regarding it.

Enhancement	Core(s)	Type	Summary
%PAGE%	4	any item	A specified ability score of the wearer or wielder becomes equal to 19 if it would otherwise be lower.
%PAGE%	1	weapon	Wielder gains +1 bonus to attack rolls with this weapon, and scores a critical hit when the d20 lands on an 18 or higher.
%PAGE%	2	weapon (simple or martial melee)	Attacks with the weapon deal extra fire damage and can ignite, but the weapon has limited charges.
%PAGE%	3	weapon (simple or martial melee)	Attacks with the weapon deal extra cold damage and can petrify, but the weapon has limited charges.
%PAGE%	1	armor	Wearer's heart point maximum increases by 1 per level.
%PAGE%	1	any item	Wearer adds a d8 bonus die to one specified type of saving throw.
%PAGE%	2	armor	The wearer gains resistance to one specified damage type.
%PAGE%	4	weapon (simple or martial melee)	Attacks with the weapon deal extra lightning damage and can paralyze, but the weapon has limited charges.
%PAGE%	2	weapon (any melee)	The wielder adds a bonus die to spell attack rolls.

You can add multiple enhancements or bonuses to one object, but cannot add the same enhancement to the same object multiple times unless stated otherwise.

Each time you gain a level in this class, you can forget one of the enhancements you know to learn a new one in its place. If you forget an enhancement, all objects using that enhancement lose it, and you regain any cores you've invested with that enhancement. The new enhancement can be 3-core starting from 14th level, and 4-core starting from 18th level. == Magic Sense == Magic has become ingrained in your mind so thoroughly it is influencing your senses. Starting from 13th level, you have advantage on Intelligence (Investigation) and Wisdom (Perception) checks to notice spells or magic effects.

You learn the detect magic spell per your Spellcasting feature, but it doesn't count against your Spells Known. If you already have learned this spell, you can instead learn another 2-point (1st-level) researcher spell you would otherwise be able to learn. You can cast detect magic without expending magic points (or a spell slot).

Swift Enhancements

Starting from 14th level, you gain 4 more ancient cores (now equal to 8 + your Intelligence modifier).

From now on, you can also apply up to 3 cores to a single object. You learn three more enhancements at this level, each of which can be up to 3-cores.

You can now enhance any number of objects over a short or long rest, instead of only a long rest. == Spell Resistance == At 15th level, your understanding of magic enables you to resist spells with enviable ease. You have advantage on saving throws against spells and resistance to damage from spells.

Ancient Surplus

Starting from 18th level, you gain 4 more ancient cores (now equal to 12 + your Intelligence modifier).

From now on you can place up to 4 cores into a single object, and can learn 4-core enhancements by replacing old enhancements per your Ancient Enhancements feature.

Master of the Ancient

At 20th level, your mastery of arcane magic and ancient history reaches its zenith. You learn every enhancement from your Ancient Enhancements list, and can apply any of them while you have cores to spare.

From now on, you have advantage on all Intelligence (Engineering) checks, all Intelligence (History) checks, and all Intelligence checks made to recall lore about constructs.

Witchcraft includes a wide array of spells—far beyond simple medicines, they can cast spells to fling acid, enable flight, create illusions, heal ailments, and even twist dimensions.

Starting equipment

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

Hearts

Heart Containers: 1d6 per researcher level

Heart Points at 1st Level: 6 + Constitution modifier

Heart Points at Higher Levels: 1d6 (or 4) + Constitution modifier per researcher level after 1st. If your 1d6 roll lands on a 1, you can re-roll the die and use the higher result.

Proficiencies

If researcher is your first class, you have proficiency with the following. These are in addition to your proficiency points.

Armor: None

Weapons: Rods, clubs, daggers, darts, staves, and slingshots

Saving Throws: Intelligence, Wisdom

Skills: Arcana

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 the Arcana skill plus two more skills of your choice from Animal Handling, History, Insight, Medicine, Nature, Performance, Persuasion, and Religion. These proficiencies are in addition to any from your Background.

If your first class level is gained as a researcher, you have a number of proficiency points equal to 3 + 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.

• You can invest 1 point to become proficient in History, any artisan's tool, any musical instrument, water vehicles, land vehicles, or any language.
• You can invest 2 points to become proficient with any professional tool or in any skill from Animal Handling, Medicine, Nature, and Religion.
• You can invest 3 points to become proficient in any other skill.

Retraining

Heroes don't always retain their skills forever.  Sometimes old methods are forgotten in favor of new lessons.  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 Intelligence modifier. If your Intelligence later increases, so too does your number of stamina points. Each level you gain in this class after the first, you gain 4 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, make the following adjustments.      Spell Slots (replaces Magic Meter and Magic Limit). You initially have two 1st-level spell slots to cast researcher spells. Starting from 2nd level, you gain spell slots at the same rate the bard, cleric, sorcerer, and wizard 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 warping step and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast warping step using either slot.      Powered Spells Known. What spells you can learn with this feature are governed by your spell slots, not your Magic Limit, but you otherwise learn spells at the same rate. You can learn any spell of 1st-level or higher that does not exceed your highest level spell slot. Each time you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of these spells you've learned with a new spell from your school's spell list if the new spell doesn't exceed your highest level spell slot.

As one who investigates and studies magic, you recite incantations and manipulate material components in ways that require extensive, mentally-demanding practice and memorization.

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 by 1 at every odd-numbered researcher level thereafter, at 4th level, at 10th level, and at 18th level. See the witch table.

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

Researcher spells of 10-points or higher are particularly taxing to cast. Upon casting one, you must finish a short rest before you cast another spell of 10-points or higher.

Spellcasting Ability

Intelligence is your casting ability for researcher spells, since you learn your spells through dedicated study and memorization. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a spell learned through this class and when making an attack roll with one.

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

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

Cantrips

You initially know two cantrips (or "unpowered spells") of your choice from the following list:

Air Slash	You form a blade of air to strike a distant creature. If the target is airborne, you have advantage on the attack roll.
Blast Bolt	You detonate volatile energy with a melee spell attack. If your attack misses, you take damage and are pushed back.
Candle	Create a five-foot sphere of flame which lingers for a minute, damaging creatures it touches.
Cryonis	Upon a relatively flat plane of liquid water at least five by five feet, you create a pillar of magic ice.
Light	You touch one object, causing it to shed bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet
Mending	This spell repairs a single break or tear in an object you touch.
Minor Illusion	You create a sound or an image of an object (not a creature) within range that lasts for 1 minute.
Prestidigitation	You create one of several minor magical effects.
Ray of Radiance	You hurl a ball of light, dealing radiant damage and briefly illuminating the target.
Razor Tome	Razor-sharp parchment flies out to slash one or more nearby creatures.
Sage Hand	Conjure a translucent, floating hand that can manipulate objects at range.
Sandcast	You hurl a swirling mass of sand at a creature to deal damage. A hit creature is damaged and suffers disadvantage on a Wisdom (Perception) checks or ranged attack roll.
Shocking Grasp	Lightning springs from your hand to deliver a shock to a creature you try to touch.
Touch Wind	You seize the air and compel it to create one of several minor effects.

Any cantrips you learn after 1st level can be drawn from the expanded spell list you gain from your School of Research, witch. You learn another cantrip from your expanded list at 2nd level, at 5th level, and 9th level. You can use your Improvement feature to replace cantrips you know, or learn entirely new cantrips.

Powered Spells Known

At 1st level, you know two spells from the following list:

Flying Object	A Small nearby object shoots up to 100 feet in a straight line, potentially damaging a creature in its path.
Illusory Script	You write a script that appears true to creatures you designate, but illusory to all other creatures.
Tremor	You cause the ground around you to wildly shake, knocking nearby creatures prone and creating difficult terrain.
Warping Step	You teleport to an unoccupied space you can see up to 30 feet away.

Detect Magic	Sense the presence of magic within 30 feet of you.
Disguise Self	Cause yourself to appear different for the duration.
Feather Fall	Your reaction safely slows the descent for up to five creatures within 60 feet of you.
Fog Cloud	You create a sphere of fog within range.
Grease	Slick grease covers a patch of ground, potentially knocking creatures prone.
Identify	You identify what spells are affecting a creature or object, or learn a magic item's properties.
Image	Create the image of an object, a creature, or some other visible phenomenon that is no larger than a 20-foot cube.
Mage Armor	A creature you touch gains an AC of 13 + its Dexterity modifier.
Perceive Invisibility	For at least 1 minute, you see invisible creatures and objects as if they were visible.
Unseen Servant	Create an invisible, Medium object that performs simple tasks at your bonus action command until the spell ends.

At 2nd level, you learn four additional 1-point or 2-point spells (or "1st-level spells"). At this level, your spell list expands to include a much wider variety of spells as decided by your School of Research, witch. You can choose to learn any of your new spells from the expanded spell list appropriate to your school.

Starting from 3rd level in this class, you learn one more powered spell each time you gain a level in this class. You choose which spells to learn from the list available to your School of Research, witch, at the bottom of this page. A spell you choose cannot have points exceeding the Magic Limit of your new researcher level, as shown in the witch table.

Each time you gain a level in this class, you can also replace one researcher spell you've learned with this feature with a new one you would be able to learn from your schools's spell list. The new spell you choose can be higher than the spell it replaces, but cannot exceed your current Magic Limit.

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

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

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.

Overpowering a researcher spell to 10-points or higher is particularly taxing, as described under your Magic Limit feature.

Wise Defense

You can predict and read opponents' attacks to evade them, rather than rely primarily your reaction time or nimbleness of movement. When you would add your Dexterity modifier to your AC, you can choose to add your Wisdom modifier instead. You cannot use this feature if you are already adding your Wisdom modifier to your AC.

Witchcraft Proficiencies

At 2nd level, your witchcraft studies grant you several extra proficiencies.

You gain proficiency in the Medicine skill. If you are already proficient, you may instead gain proficiency in one skill from Animal Handling, Engineering, History, Nature, and Religion.

You also gain proficiency with brewer's supplies. If you are already proficient, you may instead gain proficiency in any artisan's tool of your choice.

Witch's Broom

Starting at 2nd level, you can use any broom as the spellcasting focus for your researcher spells. While you wield it, your Witch's Broom has the same statistics as a club, and you can perform the somatic components of your researcher spells without a free hand.

You can substitute a similar implement such as a soup ladle or a wooden stick, subject to your DM's discretion. == Improvement == When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, your capabilities evolve 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. This cannot increase any ability score above 20 unless you have a feature that increases your ability score maximum.
• Gain a feat of your choice.
• Learn two new powered spells per your Spellcasting feature. The spells chosen cannot exceed your Magic Limit for this level. Gain 2 more magic points.

Each time you gain this feature, you can also replace one of your cantrips with a new one from your school's spell list.

Ritual Casting

At 6th level, you learn to more efficiently cast certain spells. You gain the Ritual Mage feat, even if you don't met its prerequisite. If you already have this feat, you can instead gain any other feat for which you qualify.

Flying Broom

At 6th level, you learn to fly with the aid of a broom. You can use an action to gain a fly speed of 50 feet for as long as you maintain concentration (as if concentrating on a spell) and are riding astride your Witch's Broom. You concentration ends and you fall if while flying you are knocked prone, have your speed reduced to 0, or you are removed from your broom.

You can give your broom to another creature of Medium size or smaller. If they ride it, you can use your action to grant them a fly speed of 50 feet for as long as you maintain concentration and they stay on the broom. Your concentration ends and they fall if while flying they are knocked prone, have their speed reduced to 0, or are removed from your broom. == Studied Skill== At 7th level, your further studies grant you greater expertise in a practical area of study. Choose one skill from Arcana, Engineering, History, Medicine, and Nature. You become an expert in the chosen skill: double your proficiency bonus for ability checks which use the skill.

Adaptive Magic

At 10th level, you can incorporate other schools of magic into your own. You can learn any one spell from any spell list. This must be a powered spell of 5-points or lower (3rd level or lower). It does not count against your Spells Known. Whenever you cast a spell gained with this feature, you must expend 1 more magic point (or one spell slot level higher) than normal, which counts against your Magic Limit

At 14th level, you can learn a second spell from another school of research, which must be a powered spell of 7-points or fewer (5th level or lower). == Magic Sense == Magic has become ingrained in your mind so thoroughly it is influencing your senses. Starting from 13th level, you have advantage on Intelligence (Investigation) and Wisdom (Perception) checks to notice spells or magic effects.

You learn the detect magic spell per your Spellcasting feature, but it doesn't count against your Spells Known. If you already have learned this spell, you can instead learn another 2-point (1st-level) researcher spell you would otherwise be able to learn. You can cast detect magic without expending magic points (or a spell slot). Witch/14th == Spell Resistance == At 15th level, your understanding of magic enables you to resist spells with enviable ease. You have advantage on saving throws against spells and resistance to damage from spells.

Upon reaching 18th level, you can learn two witch spells of 3-points or fewer, and they don't count against your spells known.

From now on, you can maintain some magic effects without concentration. When you cast a witch spell of 3-points (2nd-level) or lower which normally requires concentration, you need not concentrate on it. When you cast such a spell, you can choose for it to last for its full duration without your concentration, freeing you to concentrate on another effect instead.

A spell doesn't gain this benefit if you cast it with more than 3 magic points (or cast it with a spell slot higher than 2nd), nor if it's a spell which doesn't appear on the Witch Spell List. Spells which benefit from this feature appear in the adjacent table.

Your Flying Broom feature also no longer requires concentration to persist.

Masterful Learning

At 20th level, you become a library of knowledge and a pinnacle of magical research. From now on, when casting a spell you have learned with your Adaptive Magic feature, you do not need to expend extra magic points (or a higher level spell slot) to do so. At this level you also learn any one spell of 11-points (8th level) or lower from any class's spell list and cast it as if it was a researcher spell.

You also have advantage on all Intelligence (Medicine) checks and all Intelligence saving throws from now on.

You can always accurately remember any text or scripts you have read since you acquired this feature, even if it was from a language you didn't understand.

14-point

A wizzrobe is one who delves into the depths of the most destructive magic; one who cares for little other than the utter obliteration of her foes at the tendrils of fire, frost, or lightning. The deeper one dives into this school, or so they say, the less empathy and sanity remains inside you. Indeed, the very term "wizzrobe" has become so attributed to the wanton destruction that few hylians even realize not all wizzrobes are literally evil monsters.

As the name suggests, a wizzrobe often wears a robe with a hood or other headgear that conceals its face. This is most often done to conceal the wizzrobe’s identity, due to the negative connotation wizzrobes as a whole have received. Some wizzrobes choose to wear hooded robes out of tradition rather than shame, and others still eschew these garments altogether.

Starting equipment

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

Hearts

Heart Containers: 1d6 per researcher level

Heart Points at 1st Level: 6 + Constitution modifier

Heart Points at Higher Levels: 1d6 (or 4) + Constitution modifier per researcher level after 1st. If your 1d6 roll lands on a 1, you can re-roll the die and use the higher result.

Proficiencies

If researcher is your first class, you have proficiency with the following. These are in addition to your proficiency points.

Armor: None

Weapons: Rods, clubs, daggers, darts, staves, and slingshots

Saving Throws: Intelligence, Wisdom

Skills: Arcana

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 the Arcana skill plus two more skills of your choice from Animal Handling, History, Insight, Medicine, Nature, Performance, Persuasion, and Religion. These proficiencies are in addition to any from your Background.

If your first class level is gained as a researcher, you have a number of proficiency points equal to 3 + 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.

• You can invest 1 point to become proficient in History, any artisan's tool, any musical instrument, water vehicles, land vehicles, or any language.
• You can invest 2 points to become proficient with any professional tool or in any skill from Animal Handling, Medicine, Nature, and Religion.
• You can invest 3 points to become proficient in any other skill.

Retraining

Heroes don't always retain their skills forever.  Sometimes old methods are forgotten in favor of new lessons.  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 Intelligence modifier. If your Intelligence later increases, so too does your number of stamina points. Each level you gain in this class after the first, you gain 5 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, make the following adjustments.      Spell Slots (replaces Magic Meter and Magic Limit). You initially have two 1st-level spell slots to cast researcher spells. Starting from 2nd level, you gain spell slots at the same rate the bard, cleric, sorcerer, and wizard 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 warping step and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast warping step using either slot.      Powered Spells Known. What spells you can learn with this feature are governed by your spell slots, not your Magic Limit, but you otherwise learn spells at the same rate. You can learn any spell of 1st-level or higher that does not exceed your highest level spell slot. Each time you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of these spells you've learned with a new spell from your school's spell list if the new spell doesn't exceed your highest level spell slot.

As one who investigates and studies magic, you recite incantations and manipulate material components in ways that require extensive, mentally-demanding practice and memorization.

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 by 1 at every odd-numbered researcher level thereafter, at 4th level, at 10th level, and at 18th level. See the wizzrobe table.

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

Researcher spells of 10-points or higher are particularly taxing to cast. Upon casting one, you must finish a short rest before you cast another spell of 10-points or higher.

Spellcasting Ability

Intelligence is your casting ability for researcher spells, since you learn your spells through dedicated study and memorization. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a spell learned through this class and when making an attack roll with one.

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

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

Cantrips

You initially know two cantrips (or "unpowered spells") of your choice from the following list:

Air Slash	You form a blade of air to strike a distant creature. If the target is airborne, you have advantage on the attack roll.
Blast Bolt	You detonate volatile energy with a melee spell attack. If your attack misses, you take damage and are pushed back.
Candle	Create a five-foot sphere of flame which lingers for a minute, damaging creatures it touches.
Cryonis	Upon a relatively flat plane of liquid water at least five by five feet, you create a pillar of magic ice.
Light	You touch one object, causing it to shed bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet
Mending	This spell repairs a single break or tear in an object you touch.
Minor Illusion	You create a sound or an image of an object (not a creature) within range that lasts for 1 minute.
Prestidigitation	You create one of several minor magical effects.
Ray of Radiance	You hurl a ball of light, dealing radiant damage and briefly illuminating the target.
Razor Tome	Razor-sharp parchment flies out to slash one or more nearby creatures.
Sage Hand	Conjure a translucent, floating hand that can manipulate objects at range.
Sandcast	You hurl a swirling mass of sand at a creature to deal damage. A hit creature is damaged and suffers disadvantage on a Wisdom (Perception) checks or ranged attack roll.
Shocking Grasp	Lightning springs from your hand to deliver a shock to a creature you try to touch.
Touch Wind	You seize the air and compel it to create one of several minor effects.

Any cantrips you learn after 1st level can be drawn from the expanded spell list you gain from your School of Research, wizzrobe. You learn another cantrip from your expanded list at 2nd level, at 5th level, and 9th level. You can use your Improvement feature to replace cantrips you know, or learn entirely new cantrips.

Powered Spells Known

At 1st level, you know two spells from the following list:

Flying Object	A Small nearby object shoots up to 100 feet in a straight line, potentially damaging a creature in its path.
Illusory Script	You write a script that appears true to creatures you designate, but illusory to all other creatures.
Tremor	You cause the ground around you to wildly shake, knocking nearby creatures prone and creating difficult terrain.
Warping Step	You teleport to an unoccupied space you can see up to 30 feet away.

Detect Magic	Sense the presence of magic within 30 feet of you.
Disguise Self	Cause yourself to appear different for the duration.
Feather Fall	Your reaction safely slows the descent for up to five creatures within 60 feet of you.
Fog Cloud	You create a sphere of fog within range.
Grease	Slick grease covers a patch of ground, potentially knocking creatures prone.
Identify	You identify what spells are affecting a creature or object, or learn a magic item's properties.
Image	Create the image of an object, a creature, or some other visible phenomenon that is no larger than a 20-foot cube.
Mage Armor	A creature you touch gains an AC of 13 + its Dexterity modifier.
Perceive Invisibility	For at least 1 minute, you see invisible creatures and objects as if they were visible.
Unseen Servant	Create an invisible, Medium object that performs simple tasks at your bonus action command until the spell ends.

At 2nd level, you learn four additional 1-point or 2-point spells (or "1st-level spells"). At this level, your spell list expands to include a much wider variety of spells as decided by your School of Research, wizzrobe. You can choose to learn any of your new spells from the expanded spell list appropriate to your school.

Starting from 3rd level in this class, you learn one more powered spell each time you gain a level in this class. You choose which spells to learn from the list available to your School of Research, wizzrobe, at the bottom of this page. A spell you choose cannot have points exceeding the Magic Limit of your new researcher level, as shown in the wizzrobe table.

Each time you gain a level in this class, you can also replace one researcher spell you've learned with this feature with a new one you would be able to learn from your schools's spell list. The new spell you choose can be higher than the spell it replaces, but cannot exceed your current Magic Limit.

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

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

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.

Overpowering a researcher spell to 10-points or higher is particularly taxing, as described under your Magic Limit feature.

Wise Defense

You can predict and read opponents' attacks to evade them, rather than rely primarily your reaction time or nimbleness of movement. When you would add your Dexterity modifier to your AC, you can choose to add your Wisdom modifier instead. You cannot use this feature if you are already adding your Wisdom modifier to your AC.

Elemental Affinity

Most wizzrobes specialize in casting a specific type of offensive magic. At 2nd level, choose one affinity from Fire Wizzrobe, Ice Wizzrobe, Electrobe, Gale Wizzrobe, Sandrobe, and Summoner.

Several of these affinities add a bonus die to spell attack rolls. If different features add bonus dice to your attack rolls, they don't combine. Add only the highest.

• While concentrating on any conjuration spell that summons a creature, you have advantage on any saving throw made to maintain concentration.
• You can identify on sight whether or not a creature was summoned by a spellcaster. You also have advantage on any Intelligence check made to recall lore about such creatures.

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

• Gain a feat of your choice.
• Learn two new powered spells per your Spellcasting feature. The spells chosen cannot exceed your Magic Limit for this level. Gain 2 more magic points.

Each time you gain this feature, you can also replace one of your cantrips with a new one from your school's spell list.

Wizzwarp

At 6th level, you learn the warping step spell. If you already know this spell, you instead learn another 1-point (1st-level) wizzrobe spell you would otherwise be able to learn. In either case, this new spell does not count against your Spells Known.

When you cast warping step, you can cast it with 0 magic points (or without a spell slot). Overpowering this spell costs 1 additional magic point (or using a higher-level spell slot), as normal. == Studied Skill== At 7th level, your further studies grant you greater expertise in a practical area of study. Choose one skill from Arcana, Engineering, History, Medicine, and Nature. You become an expert in the chosen skill: double your proficiency bonus for ability checks which use the skill.

== Magic Sense == Magic has become ingrained in your mind so thoroughly it is influencing your senses. Starting from 13th level, you have advantage on Intelligence (Investigation) and Wisdom (Perception) checks to notice spells or magic effects.

You learn the detect magic spell per your Spellcasting feature, but it doesn't count against your Spells Known. If you already have learned this spell, you can instead learn another 2-point (1st-level) researcher spell you would otherwise be able to learn. You can cast detect magic without expending magic points (or a spell slot).

Elemental Paragon

At 14th level, the damage resistance granted by your affinity becomes damage immunity.

Control Weather

At 14th level, your raw elemental power is so great it affects the climate in your immediate vicinity. You learn the control weather spell and it does not count against your spells known. You can cast this spell even if it exceeds your magic limit, casting this spell does not cost you magic points, and you can maintain control over it without concentration. == Spell Resistance == At 15th level, your understanding of magic enables you to resist spells with enviable ease. You have advantage on saving throws against spells and resistance to damage from spells.

Blast 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.

Master Wizzrobe

At 20th level, you ascend to a true master of elemental magic. You gain the benefit of two more Elemental Affinities of your choice. From now on you also have advantage on all Intelligence (Arcana) checks and all Charisma (Intimidation) checks.
