Adept

---

---

Overview & Creation

Some tribal societies or less sophisticated regions don’t have the resources to train wizards and clerics. Reflecting a lesser knowledge of magic yet an intriguing combination of arcane and divine skills, the adept serves these cultures as both wise woman (or holyman) and mystical defender.Adepts can be found in isolated human, elf, dwarf, gnome, and halfling communities but are most prevalent among more bestial humanoid and giant species such as orcs, goblins, gnolls, bugbears,and ogres.

Class Features

Spells:

  An adept casts divine spells (the same type of spells available to the cleric, druid, paladin, and ranger), which are drawn from the adept spell list (see below). Like a cleric, an adept must choose and prepare her spells in advance. Unlike a cleric, an adept cannot spontaneously cast cure or inflict spells. To prepare or cast a spell, an adept must have a Wisdom score equal to at least 10 + the spell level (Wis 10 for 0-level spells, Wis 11 for 1st-level spells, and so forth). The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against an adept’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the adept’s Wisdom modifier.Adepts, unlike wizards, do not acquire their spells from books or scrolls, nor do they prepare them through study. Instead, they meditate or pray for their spells, receiving them as divine inspiration or through their own strength of faith. Each adept must choose a time each day at which she must spend an hour in quiet contemplation or supplication to regain her daily allotment of spells. Time spent resting has no effect on whether an adept can prepare spells. Like other spellcasters, an adept can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. Her base daily spell allotment is given on Table 4–2: The Adept. In addition, she receives bonus spells per day if she has a high Wisdom score (see Table 1–1: Ability Modifiers and Bonus Spells, page 8 of the Player’s Handbook). When Table level (for instance, 0 2nd-level spells for a 4th-level adept), she gains only the bonus spells she would be entitled to based on her Wisdom score for that spell level. Each adept has a particular holy symbol (as a divine focus) depending on the adept’s magical tradition.  

Summon Familiar:

At 2nd level, an adept can call a familiar, just as a sorcerer or wizard can.

Level 5

There is a chance that large creatures will be part of her entourage. They appear to be under the same spell as the medium and smaller animals. Until tenth level, only 10% of the entourage can be animals of a large size, at which point the max goes up to 30% with a possible 5% of huge size.  

Level 10:

Free Action. You can communicate with animals affected in this way telepathically. This does not mean that a great understanding is reached, but you can understand generally what is being communicated. No limit  

Level 15:

Free Action. You become one with any one of the animals enchanted. You leave your body and inhabit one of the other animals in your entourage. The remaining animals will protect your body to the last until your return. This can happen a number of times equal to your character level per day. This can last for up to a day in time.   You do not know what is happening to your body and if your body is killed, you do not revert to your body, but you are aware of its passing. You are still able to shift to other animals even if your body dies. You retain all of your abilities and can use those that the animal is physically able to perform.  

Level 18:

When you enter a wild area, you become aware of the animals around you and they of you. Animals, beasts, and monstrosities of natural origins will flock to be in your presence. You are protected by them all. They will not attack on your behalf unless they are CR 10 and below. CR 11 and above can be convinced to attack, but this requires special action on your part to convince them.   Note: Until 18th level, when you attack something, the entourage will flee from the combat.
