The Survivor
After the disaster struck, you sought refuge. You are a survivor, but the wreckage of the past haunts you. You seek to undo the damage done or put the past to rest.
Superstitious
The old country's legends hold a grain of truth for you and you take heed.
Berserker Rage
Talent
You have disadvantage on Deft. You can enter a berserker rage as a reaction in addition to any actions you take in the round, which lasts for the duration of the scene. While enraged, you 1) do not make a check to remain conscious after taking a hit while vulnerable, 2) do not receive penalties to your rolls from accruing wounds, and 3) have disadvantage on defense checks. Your rage grants you advantage on all attacks, and your concentration cannot be broken, but you will not stop attacking your foes, even if your life is in danger, until the final foe falls.
Arcane Adept
Technique
You may cast the spells Dispel Magic and Counterspell. As long as you have MP (and at the GM's discretion), you can create minor, illusory cantrips related to your maleficence. Such cantrips are instantaneous and harmless, and cannot duplicate the effects of any other spells.
Medium
kit
You've always been drawn to the secrets of the spirit world. Choose 2 spells from the Divination school: you may cast these spells even if you’re not a spellcaster. You can detect the presence of spirits wherever the dead linger, and commune with them by allowing them to possess your body. A hostile spirit can be controlled with an opposed Smart check. Divination spell checks explode on a 5 or a 6.

Maleficence
Divine
Sorcery +9
This maleficence does an extra 2 damage to Undead, Eldritch, and Astral monsters opposed to your faith, and rolls involving your maleficence made against such monsters have advantage. If this maleficence would deal zero damage, the victim is frightened until after its next action.
Spells
-
Chain Maleficence
Metamagic +9
This spell may be cast simultaneously with the use of a maleficence. You rally the power of your maleficence into a chain of magical energy that strikes 1 target per MP spent. You may divide the damage your maleficence causes among any of these targets as you wish, and the peril and secondary effect of your maleficence affect all those subject to the spell.
-
Charm (Monster)
Charm +4
Your enchantment makes a single living monster or non-monstrous creature friendly towards you and assuages their suspicions. When you are casting this spell, it is not apparent to the untrained eye. This spell immediately fails if anyone in the area of effect is engaged in hostile action with the victim or its allies, or if you or your allies take hostile action thereafter. When engaged in social combat with the target, you receive advantage on all rolls. A charmed creature will maintain its disposition toward you after the spell ends, unless it is intelligent and there is reason to question the friendship or the enchantment is revealed.
-
Clairvoyance
Divination +3
You or your target may visualize a known location anywhere in the material realm. The subject of this spell is able to see all that transpires in this location within a volume equal to the area of effect using their normal visual senses for the duration of the spell. The scrying leaves a psychic imprint on the location that, if detected, will reveal the subject's true location. This spell lasts 10 minutes per MP spent.
-
Control (Air)
Elemental +9
You can manipulate the flow, direction, and shape of any atmosphere equal to the area effect of the spell. For example, you may disperse noxious clouds, create walls of wind, or unleash hurricane force blasts. If the air is used to cause harm to a target, apply the peril of the corresponding maleficence.
-
Control (Earth)
Elemental +4
You can manipulate a volume of earth equal to the area of effect, controlling its flow, direction, or shape. For example, you could turn solid ground into quicksand, reshape a stone wall, or create a sandstorm. If the source is used to cause harm to a target, apply the peril of the corresponding maleficence.
-
Control (Water)
Elemental +9
You can manipulate the flow, direction, and form of any volume of water equal to the area effect of the spell. For example, you may part bodies of water, create walls of water, stir up crashing waves, or direct forceful torrents. If the water is used to cause harm to a target, apply the peril of the corresponding maleficence.
-
Control (Weather)
Elemental +4
You can manipulate the flow, direction, and intensity of a weather pattern in the area effect of the spell, invoking torrential rain, strikes of lightning, or torrents of wind. If the weather is used to cause harm to a target, apply the peril of a corresponding maleficence.
-
Dweomercraft
Metamagic +9
For each MP you spend and on each round, you may transplant one enchantment from target to target or object to object by touch. This includes magic effects bestowed by spells, but does not affect permanent dweomers, such as those generated by magic items.
-
Earthquake
Elemental +4
You create a minor earthquake in the area of effect that shakes the ground and opens fissures in the earth. All within the area of effect (except you) must make a Deft check vs. your spell check on the first round of the spell's casting, or fall into a fissure. Those who succeed remain standing, but risk having to check again if they move within the area of effect, or take action that compromises their standing; those who fail suffer 1d6 falling damage and must spend a round climbing out. You must concentrate on working the spell for its duration, otherwise the earth seals back up.
-
Elemental Resistance
Elemental +4
Your magic infuses you or your target with supernatural endurance, allowing you to resist harm from a single type of energy source, such as cold, fire, sound, etc. Checks involving the element are made at advantage, and you reduce any harm received by each source by 2 damage. This spell lasts 1 hour per MP spent.
-
Enchant Weapon
Enchantment +9
You may bestow an enchantment on any number of weapons you touch. Each weapon gets a maximum +1 to damage and +1 to hit.
-
Heal
Curative +4
You heal 1 HP per MP spent, split among as many targets in the area of effect as desired. Any status effects caused by minor perils on the target(s) are cured. This spell does not heal wounds or targets on death's door. (If an Undead creature is affected by this spell, they are entitled to a spell check and receive 1 HP damage per MP spent, bypassing soak.)
-
Mystic Strength
Enchantment +4
You endow yourself or your targets with supernatural strength for the duration of the spell. All Mighty checks involving physical, non-combat action such as lifting extraordinary weights, vaulting great distances, or running with unfailing endurance for the duration of the spell do not require a check. If the GM requires a Mighty check, you may roll with advantage. (This spell does not empower you to deal additional damage, but your great strength may be used to bend bars or rip doors off their hinges.)
-
Phantom Steed
Illusion +9
You summon into existence an illusory steed that abides by your command. It is immune to physical damage and needs no rest or sustenance. This spell lasts for 2 hours per MP spent.
-
See Spirit Realm
Divination +4
This spell affects one encounter space per MP spent. You read the area for spiritual impressions, such as ghostly ectoplasms or the negative energy of undead. Your senses reveal hidden or magically concealed entities of this kind as well as their type, origin, ethos, and general disposition. In surveying the area, you also receive visual and auditory impressions of the circumstances of their demise. This spell lasts as long as you concentrate.
Maleficence
Divine
Sorcery +9
This maleficence does an extra 2 damage to Undead, Eldritch, and Astral monsters opposed to your faith, and rolls involving your maleficence made against such monsters have advantage. If this maleficence would deal zero damage, the victim is frightened until after its next action.
Stances

Fey Resistance
Trait
The powers of your lineage awaken within you as you adventure farther into your quest. When you learn this stance, you are 50% immune to magical or mundane sleep and charm.
Known Stances
-
Ambusher Stance
Active
You're a practiced hunter of the most dangerous game. When you successfully surprise your opponents, you may create narrative advantage that establishes the terms of the ambush before the surprise round begins: position each willing member of your party anywhere they could plausibly have reached unseen, and declare one immediate avenue of escape, source of cover, or defensive position controlled by your party.
-
Animal Friendship
Active
You have always been a friend to the natural world, approaching its denizens with humility and respect. You may create a narrative advantage in your first interaction with a Wild animal or monster.
-
Arcane Analysis
Active
You've seen many a spell and spellcaster and know all their tricks. As a reaction, you can identify a spell or spell-like effect by its telltale signs before it takes form. You know the spell's exact mechanical attributes and the scale of its parameters at the time of its casting.
-
Astral Awareness
Passive
The powers of your lineage awaken within you as you adventure farther into your quest. While this stance is your focus and with the GM’s approval, you may create narrative advantage to reveal a secret door or passage, or create one where there otherwise was none (subject to the GM’s approval). Each time you attempt to reveal a secret door or passage in this way, roll a magic die (d6): if the result is less than or equal to the number of times you’ve performed this deed, you are exhausted and cannot reveal more secret spaces until you receive a full night’s rest.
-
Bonus Cantrips
Passive
You're either a failed mage exiled by the academy, or a learned arcanist with a sprinkle of magical rigor. When you learn this stance, choose three maleficences. As an action, you may cast a cantrip related to one of these maleficences per the Mage technique Arcane Adept.
-
Familiar Terrain
Passive
You've always been more comfortable in the outlands than polite society. You are immune to the adverse weather conditions of untamed lands, and ignore the deleterious effects of difficult terrain. Even in the worst of circumstances, you can rest comfortably.

-
Hide in Shadows
Passive
Years of skulking in darkness have turned you into a master of shadows. When using this stance, you are effectively invisible if you are least three-quarters obscured by darkness. Most checks to detect you automatically fail, unless the observer knows you are hidden and is using a different sense to detect you, per the rules of invisibility. If the GM requires a check to remain hidden, you may re-roll it if you fail. You cannot maintain this stance while engaged in combat.
-
Legendary Lore
Active
Your taste for great stories have transformed you into a gourmand of legends. When you use this stance, you may create a GM advantage concerning one of the following legendary subjects: magic, the dead, history, beastiaries, the astral veil, heroes, or the gods.
-
Pass without Trace
Active
You expertly cover your tracks to disguise your scent, footprints, and signs of your passage though an encounter space. As an action, you may use this stance to create a narrative advantage regarding a misdirection you leave behind.
