If the summoner rolls for initiative, they can immediately cast their choice of Summon Beast, Summon Fey, or Summon Elemental without spending an action. They must still spend a spell slot, and if they're out of castings then they cannot use this Trait.ActionsMultiattack. The summoner makes three Arcane Burst Attacks.Arcane Burst. Melee or Ranged Attack Roll: +7, reach 5 ft. or range 120 ft. Hit: 17 (3d8 + 3) Force damage.Spellcasting.

Otherworldly Guardian lets them cast Animate Dead as 1 action instead of 1 minute. In place of Portal Switch, they gain the following ability:Necromantic Healing (3/Day). As a bonus action, the necromancer casts Cure Wounds or Lesser Restoration on an allied undead creature within 30 feet. The damage or condition healed is then shifted over to another living creature within 30 feet. The damage inflicted is necrotic damage and if the original Condition required a saving throw to resist, the living creature rolls to save to resist but with the necromancer's spell save DC. A condition cannot be shifted if the new target is immune to the condition.A Controller Mage, Enchanter uses the following spell list instead:At Will: Friends, Mage Armor3/Day Each: Animal Messenger, Dissonant Whispers, Unseen Servant2/Day Each: Charm Monster, Command (level 4), Confusion1/Day Each: Dominate Person, Hold MonsterOtherworldly Guardian is replaced with Friends in Many Places, and lets the enchanter "summon" either a single ally of the Humanoid type of CR 3, two Humanoid allies of CR 2, four Humanoid allies of CR 1, or eight Humanoid allies of fractional CRs. The Humanoids have the Charmed condition in regards to the Enchanter. Some sample choices of allies include Bandit Captain, Cultist Fanatic, Druid, Knight, Priest, Scout Captain, Spellbroker (detailed later in this chapter), or Warrior Veteran.In place of Portal Switch, the Enchanter gains the following ability:Bardic Inspiration (3/Day). As a bonus action, the enchanter can give a d8 Bardic Inspiration die to one creature who has the Charmed condition in regards to them. This works as the Bard class feature of the same name.<img src="https://i.imgur.com/uLHXHFr.jpeg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="width: 556px" /><a href="https://www.artstation.com/artwork/J8a4n" target="_blank">Villagers by Taryn Meixner</a>Everyday Spellcasters provides a variety of templates based on common professions in a high-magic society. They are meant to be applied to existing noncasting Humanoid NPCs, as well as non-Humanoids who are close enough to the playable races such as Lizardfolk and Kobolds. This entry provides a few guidelines:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Be careful when adding offensive spells, as those have the greatest potential to increase an existing NPC's combat capabilities and thus a retooling of their Challenge Rating. A Sending spell won't make a Commoner or Noble any more dangerous, but a Fireball spell will!</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The higher the spell level, the exponentially rarer such characters are in society. Cantrips, 1st, and 2nd level spells can be plausibly encountered by non-Order "hedge mages" and skilled tradespeople. 3rd level spells indicate someone powerful enough to belong to an Order of High Sorcery. 4th and 5th level spells represent society's elite, capable of standing toe to toe with Tier 2 PCs and thus hold significant sway in their social circles. Spells higher than 5th level are potent enough that they shouldn't be among the "faceless masses."</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Cantrips should be cast At Will. The amount of times per day an NPC can cast particular spells depends on their CR. NPCs of fractional CR to CR 4 should be able to cast 1st thru 3rd level spells 1/Day at most. CR 5 to 9 NPCs should be able to cast 2nd and 3rd level spells 2/Day at most. CR 10 and higher NPCs might be able to cast some leveled spells at will (usually up to 2nd level), 3rd through 4th level spells 2/Day each, and 5th and higher level spells 1/Day each. This isn't a hard and fast rule; particularly powerful or complicated spells might be cast less often for the sake of game balance and ease of use for the DM.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">While most spellcasters in the Magocracy are wizards, non-wizard spells can be justified as reflavored and innovative arcane spells. Some may be easier to justify than others; Divine Smite is explicitly tied to the Paladin, but Entangle may be reflavored as animated ropes, chains, and the like.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Certain spells are universally useful to the point that they can be justified for virtually any occupation: Darkvision is a boon for humans and anyone who doesn't have it naturally, and Light does the same thing for providing color in dark places for races with natural darkvision. Enhance Ability can be justified for virtually any job or task, while Unseen Servant grants an extra set of hands and cuts down on labor in general.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Consequence-free healing magic is extraordinarily rare, even should the gods return. Such spells will not be found among these templates.</li> </ul>Aristocrats represent spellcasters part of societies who chose to maintain the traditional forms of feudal nobility by replacing the mundane kings and queens with mage-lords and ladies. Aristocrats have a wide variety of titles and ranks, and while they focus on magic which helps protect their wealth and status, they are able and willing to make use of whatever spells are deemed practical.Cantrips: any damage-dealing cantrip, Blade Ward, Elementalism, Friends, Message, Prestidigitation1st Level: Alarm, Charm Person, Detect Magic, Find Familiar, Mage Armor, Protection From Evil and Good2nd Level: Arcane Lock, Detect Thoughts, Magic Mouth, See Invisibility, Suggestion3rd Level: Clairvoyance, Counterspell, Dispel Magic, Glyph of Warding, Phantom Steed, TonguesCouriers deliver physical goods and messages between people and communities.

They frequently handle books, scrolls, and the written word in all of its forms. They are thus omnipresent in libraries and the Towers of High Sorcery. They favor spells that help them understand languages as well as keep them safe from dangerous secrets in forbidden tomes.
