Shaman

  The highwaymen descend on a strangely dressed girl,paying no thought to the odd-looking pole she stabs into the ground as they surround her—until that pole belches gouts of crimson flame, igniting their cloaks and beards and searing their lungs when they open their mouths to curse her. Wreathed in the spirit of the cave winds, a dwarf vaults the escarpment and barrels into a band of orcs. Quick to gather himself, he swings his warhammer in wide circles, buffeting his startled enemy with a blasting wind, scattering them in all directions. A dust-covered party of adventurers stagger from an ancient tomb, badly wounded by a collapsed ceiling, but before they have a chance to feel defeated, a gentle rain starts to fall, washing away dust, vanishing bruises, mending bones, and restoring vigor. Shamans are powerful spellcasters who call upon their ancestors for divine knowledge and upon the forces of nature to heal their allies and punish their foes. Shamans act as sacred intermediaries between the natural and the supernatural world, using magic to cure illness, foretell the future, and harness elemental forces to help their tribes and clans in troubled times. Shamans create their own reality, having discovered the weave after experiencing an inner awakening.  

Ancestors and Elements

  As the spiritual leaders of their tribes and clans, shamans commune with the unseen spirits that walk among us—their dead ancestors and other creatures that inhabit the spirit world, both benevolent and malevolent. Shamans also revere the spirits that dwell in all things— trees and mountains, heirlooms and apples, waterfalls and shooting stars. A powerful shaman can manipulate these spirits to gain hidden knowledge and to access the secret openings through which the inexhaustible elemental energies of the cosmos pour into the world. Adventuring shamans use their spiritual power to restore health to injured allies, leap into the fray with weapons enhanced with elemental energy, and devastate enemies from afar with lightning strikes, earthquakes, and lava bursts.  

Totems

  Shamans use totems to call forth the aid of powerful spirits and to focus the four elements—air, earth, fire, and water—to help themselves and their allies or to hinder those who threaten them. 

Creating a Shaman

      When creating a shaman, think about where your character comes from, his or her place in the world, and their connection to the tribe or clan where they spent their formative years. Talk with your GM about an appropriate origin for your shaman. Were they instructed by an older shaman? Did they come from a distant land, making them an oddity in your campaign? Or is the campaign set in the wilds, where shamanic practices are common? Consider why your character walks with one foot in the spirit world. Perhaps your character had a dramatic encounter with a maleficent spirit and survived the experience, or was born during a blizzard or earthquake, which was interpreted as a sign that becoming a shaman was your character’s destiny. What led your shaman to take up the adventuring life? Does the tribe or clan require their shaman to spend time in the outside world before returning to lead them in spiritual matters? Did monsters or an invading horde drive your shaman out of their homeland? Or maybe your shaman was cast out from their people because of a crime committed, a taboo violated, or a coup that removed your shaman from a position of authority. Perhaps your character was a runaway or orphan, befriended by a wandering shaman; or maybe their homeland was befouled by evil, and they took up an adventuring life in hopes of returning one day to cleanse it.  

Quick Build

      You can make a shaman quickly by following these suggestions. First, Wisdom should be your highest attribute, followed by Strength or Constitution. Second, choose the Outlander background. Third, choose control flames, guidance, and thunderclap as your cantrips, and choose earth tremor, cure wounds, and thunderous smite as your 1st-level spells.    

Multiclassing As A Shaman

    To multiclass as a shaman, you must have a Wisdom score of at least 13. If you are multiclassing into shaman from another class, you gain proficiency with woodcarver’s tools.     If you have both the Spellcasting class feature and the Totem Magic class feature from the shaman class, you can use the spell slots you gain from the Totem Magic feature to cast spells you know or have prepared from classes with the Spellcasting class feature, and you can use the spell slots you gain from the Spellcasting class feature to cast shaman spells you know.

Class Features

Spirit Guide

  Your spiritual connections have taught you to work more effectively with certain otherworldly beings. You can speak, read, and write Primordial, the language of the elemental planes. Primordial is a guttural language, filled with harsh syllables and hard consonants.   Additionally, you have advantage on Charisma checks you make when interacting with spirits or elementals.   

Totem Magic

As a medium of the elemental and spiritual realms, you can cast shaman spells. See chapter 10 in your player’s handbook for the general rules on spellcasting and the end of this document for the shaman class spell list.  

Cantrips

  You know three cantrips of your choice from the shaman spell list. You learn additional cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown on the Cantrips Known column of the Shaman table.  

Spell Slots

  The Shaman table shows how many spell slots you have. The table also shows what the level of those slots is; all of your spell slots are the same level. To cast one of your shaman spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a spell slot. You regain all of your spell slots when you finish a short or long rest.  

Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher

  At 1st level, you know three 1st-level spells of your choice from the shaman spell list. The Spells Known column of the Shaman table shows when you learn more shaman spells of your choice of 1st level and higher. A spell you choose must be of a level no higher than what’s shown in the table’s Spell Level column for your level.   Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the shaman spells you know and replace it with another spell from the shaman spell list, which also must be of a level equal to or lower than your spell slot level.  

Spellcasting Ability

  Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your shaman spells, so use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a shaman spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.   Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier  

Spellcasting Focus

  You can use a totem focus as a spellcasting focus for your shaman spells in place of any material components that do not have a gold piece cost. A totem focus costs 1 gp and is made from your choice of a common metal, wood, stone, bone, coral, or glass. The image depicted on your totem focus normally has personal significance and is tied to nature.         On your path to becoming a shaman, you studied the craft of carving totems—wooden poles roughly 3 inches in diameter and about 3-feet tall. With painstaking effort, you learned to carve the entire length of your totems and were then taught how to imbue them with magic. After completion, the essence of the totem binds with your spirit, allowing you to call upon its power.  

Shaman Totems

        Starting at 2nd level, you can craft and bond with two totems of your choice. Your totem options are detailed at the end of the class description. When you gain certain +shaman levels, you can craft and bond with additional totems of your choice as shown in the Totems Crafted column of the Shaman table.        Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose to break your spiritual bond with one of your totems and replace it with another totem that you could make at that level.  

Using Your Totems

      As an action, you can plant a totem at a point within 5 feet of you, and in doing so summon its spiritual essence. This essence is considered neither a creature nor an object, though it has the spectral appearance of the totem it represents.     Unless otherwise noted, a totem lasts up to 1 minute before it is dismissed and once you plant a totem, you must dismiss it and finish a short or long rest before you can plant it again. You can dismiss one of your totems early as an action or a bonus action on your turn. If you fall unconscious, all of your totems that you have planted are dismissed automatically.     When you plant a totem, it triggers its magical effect, as detailed in the totem’s description. A creature can only benefit from one totem of the same kind at a time. If a totem makes an attack roll, the attack bonus is equal to your shaman spell attack bonus. If a totem requires a creature to make a saving throw, the DC is equal to your spell save DC.

Totemic Specialty

      At 3rd level, an inner awakening reveals the shamanic path you must take. Choose one of the following specialties: Totemic Enhancement, Totemic Elementalism, or Totemic Restoration.        Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th, 10th, 14th, and 18th levels. These specialties are detailed below.  

Ability Score Improvement

      When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.  

Spirit Walk

      At 7th level, you can cast commune as a ritual, contacting a spirit, such as a dead ancestor or an elemental, rather than a deity.  

Spiritual Awakening

      Starting at 11th level, you are more attuned to the elemental and spiritual nature of the universe. Choose one 6th-level spell from the shaman spell list as this Spiritual Awakening. When you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of your awakened spells and replace it with another spell of the same level.     You can cast your awakened spell once without expending a spell slot. You must finish a long rest before you can do so again.       At higher levels, you gain more shaman spells of your choice that can be cast in this way: one 7th level spell at 13th level, one 8th level spell at 15th level, and one 9th-level spell at 17th level. You regain all uses of your Spiritual Awakening when you finish a long rest.  

Totemic Mastery

  At 20th level, you are a master of planting and using your totems. Any totem that requires you to finish a short or long rest before you can plant it again can now be planted at will, and any totem that requires you to finish a long rest before you can plant it again can now be planted after you finish a short or long rest. In addition, you can now plant your totems as a bonus action.

Subclass Options

Totemic Specialties

  Every shaman’s path eventually comes to a fork in the road where they must choose how their magic develops going forward.

You and your allies have advantage on melee attack rolls against the creature until the start of your next turn, after which the beasts return to the spirit realm until you use this feature again. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.  

Totemic Elementalism

Heeding the call of nature’s destructive wrath, shamans of the Elemental Totem focus their magic into totems and into casting combat spells that harness the elements of air, earth, fire, or water.  

Elemental Attunement

  Beginning when you choose this specialty at 3rd level, whenever one of your totems deals acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage, add your Wisdom modifier to that damage. In addition, choose one of the following damage types: acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder. You gain resistance to damage of the chosen type.  

Elemental Amplification

Starting at 6th level, any totem related to your specialty that has an Elemental Boost now has a radius of 30 feet if its normal radius was 15 feet.  

Elemental Totem Boost

Elemental Augmentation

    Starting at 14th level, whenever one of your totems deals acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage you can apply the following effects to your targets. This feature cannot inflict multiple instances of the same effect. For example, a creature whose AC is reduced by acid damage can’t have their AC reduced further by this feature.

While the aura persists, you can use your action to cause each hostile creature within 15 feet of one of your totems to take 1d4 acid damage, 1d4 cold damage, 1d4 fire damage, 1d4 lightning damage, and 1d4 thunder damage. This damage counts as a totem effect for the purposes of your Elemental Augmentation feature. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest  

Totemic Restoration

Shamans of Totemic Restoration choose this specialty because they are gentle souls that wish to ease the aches and pains of those around them, using their magic to mend bones or remove sickness.

Totemic Restoration Boost

At 10th level, your understanding of totemic magic has increased. Your totems now have additional effects if they possess a Restoration Boost.  

Soul Anchor

Starting at 14th level, your training and knowledge has lead to insights into the spirit realm and how to remain connected to life, granting you advantage on death saving throws made on your turn. In addition, instead of making a death saving throw on your turn, you can choose to regain half your maximum hit points. Once you use this feature in this way, you must finish a long rest before you can do so again.  

Rain Dance

At 18th level, as a bonus action on your turn, you can begin a ritual of complex dance steps and ululating sounds to summon a restorative rain cloud that lasts for 1 minute. The cloud forms at a point you can see 20 feet directly above you in a 30-foot radius. A light rain fills the cylinder, and the area is lightly obscured to hostile creatures. This feature does nothing if you can’t see a point in the air where the rain cloud could appear. On each of your turns until the dance ends, you can use your action to channel the rain’s healing energy, causing you and each friendly creature in the rain to regain hit points equal to 3d8 + your Wisdom modifier. You can maintain the dance while taking other actions. This feature has no effect on undead or constructs. Once you use this feature, you must finish a long rest before you can use it again      

List of Shaman Totems

If a totem has prerequisites, you must meet them to craft and use it. You can craft and imbue a totem at the same time that you meet its prerequisites. Starting at 10th level, some totems have additional effects known as Totemic Boosts. There are three types of Totemic Boosts, one for each totemic specialty: Enhancement Boosts, Elemental Boosts, and Restoration Boosts.
