Witch Doctor
Starting at 6th level, your experience as a Medicine Man/Woman grants you proficiency with Medicine as well as both Herbalism Kits and Poisoner's Kits:
- Poison
- Once a day, if you spend at least 1 hour using your Poisoner's Kit, you create a vial of poison. This is considered light work and can be done as part of a short rest. You can use the poison in this vial to coat one slashing or piercing weapon or up to five pieces of ammunition. Applying the poison takes an action. A creature hit by the poisoned weapon or ammunition must make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or take 1d4 + your WIS mod poison damage and gain the poisoned condition for 1 minute. Once applied, the poison retains potency for 1 minute before drying.
- Potion
- Once a day, if you spend at least 1 hour using your Herbalism Kit, you create a black, foul-smelling potion. The potion can end either one disease or one condition afflicting it. The condition can be blinded, deafened, paralyzed, or poisoned.
- Poultice
- Once a day, if you spend at least 1 hour using your Herbalism Kit, you create a poultice. This is considered light work and can be done as part of a short rest. It can be used with an action to heal a creature for 2d4+4 health.
Voodoo
Starting at 10th level, your experience with black magic grants you the following abilities:
- Bones
- You can cast Augury at will without expending a spell slot. It does not count toward your spells known.
- Doll
- You can create a voodoo doll of any creature you've seen for at least 1 minute. Creating the doll is a ritual that takes 1 hour. This is considered light work and can be done as part of a short rest. Once created, while the creature it represents is within 60ft range, you can stab the doll with a pin or dagger as an action to deal 1d4 + your CHR mod psychic damage to the creature it represents.
- Shrunken Head
- You can spend 1 hour removing and preparing the head of a creature that has died within the past 10 minutes. This is considered light work and can be done as part of a short rest. As part of the magical ritual, you shrink it down to fit into the palm of your hand. The next time you fall to 0 HP, the head shrivels into nothing and disappears, healing you to 1 HP instead. You cannot keep more than 1 shrunken head at a time.
Mumbo Jumbo
Starting at 14th level, you gain the following abilities:
- Mojo Bag
- You have learned how to fasten a horrifying magical bag out of the rotting flesh of the dead. Creating a Mojo Bag is a ritual that takes 1 hour. This is considered light work and can be done as part of a short rest. If anyone other than you touches the bag, you can choose whether that creature must make a CHR save or be harmed by the bag. It takes 6d6 necrotic damage on a failed save.
- Mojo
- Once per long rest, as long as you have your Mojo Bag, you may cast any ritual spell of 7th level or lower as a ritual without prior preparation or specific material components.
- Bad Juju
- When a living creature deals damage to you, you can use your reaction to make the creature take the same amount of necrotic damage. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your WIS mod per long rest.
