The Sanguine Mage delves into forbidden arts, harnessing the very essence of life—the pulsing crimson flow within their veins. Their spells are woven from blood, and their power is drawn from the vital force that courses through all living beings.

When you have less than half your hit points, your spells cost three times their level in hit points. This is reduced to twice their level when you have less than a quarter of your hit points.

Dance with Death

The Sanguine Mages gain an expanded spell list through their communion with life’s essence. Their connection to hemomancy—the forbidden art of blood magic—allows them to peer beyond mortal bounds.

Expanded Spell List

When your spell hits a living creature or they fail a save against your spell, you can tap into their life force. By expending one or more Hemorrhage Dice, you drain vitality from your target. Roll the Hemorrhage Dice and add your Constitution modifier to the result. The target takes this amount of necrotic damage, and simultaneously, you regain the same number of hit points. You can use this feature once per turn.

Drain Life

You can inscribe a Crimson Sigil on a surface or object. This sigil is invisible and can only be seen by you. Inscribing a sigil takes 1 minute and you must complete a long rest before you can inscribe a new sigil. You can activate the sigil as a bonus action to produce one of the following effects in a 10 foot radius sphere around the sigil for 1 minute:

* **Sigil of Warding**: Grants a +2 bonus to AC to allies within 10 feet of the sigil.
* **Sigil of Fury**: When you deal damage to an enemy within 10 feet of the sigil, it takes an additional 1d6 slashing damage.
* **Sigil of Fear**: When an enemy comes within 10 feet of the sigil for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. Frightened creatures can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success
* **Sigil of Bloodbond**: When an ally within 10 feet of the sigil takes damage, you can use your reaction to take half of that damage instead.

Crimson Sigil

When you take damage, you can use your reaction to expend one or more Hemorrhage Dice and force the attacker to make a Constitution saving throw. The attacker takes necrotic damage equal to the roll of your Hemorrhage Dice plus your Constitution modifier, or half as much on a success.

Lifeweavers possess the unique ability to sacrifice their own life force to heal others, a trait inherent to their hemomantic magic. However, this gift comes with a significant limitation: Lifeweavers are completely unable to use their healing abilities to restore their own health under any circumstance. Their hemomantic powers are solely directed towards aiding their allies, leaving them without recourse for self-healing.

When you have less than half your hit points, your healing spells also grant temporary hit points equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum 1). When you have less than a quarter of your hit points you gain temporary hit points equal to your hemomancer level at the start of your turn.

Gem Convergence

Gemologist

Your connection to the weave is pure and strong, you live and breathe magic. This material world may be strange and alien to you, and basic concepts like physics and social interaction can be harder to grasp.

As a Weaveborn sorcerer, you decide how you acquired your powers. Are you a pure spawn of arcane energy materializing it's own body, or did an event later in life fill you with arcane powers?

Your connection to the weave lets you sense the presence of magic within 30 feet of you as if you were under the effect of the ¤Detect Magic¤ spell.

Magic sight

Your link to the arcane allows you to learn spells from the wizard class. When your Spellcasting feature lets you learn or replace a sorcerer cantrip or a sorcerer spell of 1st level or higher, you can choose the new spell from the wizard spell list or the sorcerer spell list. You must otherwise obey all the restrictions for selecting the spell, and it becomes a sorcerer spell for you.

You better understand how the arcane works in this material world. When you cast a spell you can expend up to 3 sorcery points to upcast the spell by one level per sorcery point. 

Amplify Magic

Your spells unleash a surge of arcane power that overwhelms your foes. When you roll damage for a spell and roll the highest number possible on any of the dice, choose one of those dice, roll it again and add that roll to the damage. You can use the feature only once per turn.

Arcane Overload

You learn how to ward yourself from harmful spells. You gain advantage on saving throws against spells.

While in this form, you can move through solid objects and have a flying speed equal to your walking speed. You can remain in this form for up to 1 minute, after which you revert to your normal form. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

Arcane Form

Weaveborn

Your patron is a desentralized hive mind intelligence. Such beings have an unending hunger for knowledge and expansion. Your pact with that being allows you to experience the the feeling of being part of something greater than yourself, but can you be sure you're not losing a part of yourself in the process? Is it merely using you to expand it's knowledge, or does it want you to spread it's grasp to all the minds in the realm?

Being a part of a hive mind can cause changes in your behavior and beliefs. You may find a new or increased thirst for knowledge, a desire to meet new people or a reduced fear of danger and death as you are merely a part of a larger whole.

The Hive Mind lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.

| Spell Level | Spells |
| :-- | :-- |
| 1st | ¤dissonant whispers¤, ¤command¤ |
| 3rd | ¤detect thoughts¤, ¤see invisibility¤ |
| 3rd | ¤nondetection¤, ¤pulse wave¤ |
| 4th | ¤summon aberration¤, ¤confusion¤
| 5th | ¤dominate person¤, ¤legend lore¤ |

Your mind connected to the Hive Mind. You can telepathically speak to any creature who is connected to the same hive mind as long as you are on the same plane of existance. You don’t need to share a language with the creature for it to understand your telepathic utterances, but the creature must be able to understand at least one language.

Hive Mind Connection

Whenever another creature connected to your Hive Mind makes an attack roll, an ability check, or a saving throw, you can spend your reaction to let the creature roll a d6 and add the number rolled to the attack roll, ability check or saving throw. Once you use this feature, you must finish a long rest before you can use it again.

Aiding the Hive Mind

Your learn to harness the power of the hive mind to shield your own mind. This effect is stronger when multiple members of the same hive mind are together. You gain a bonus to your intelligence, wisdom and charisma saving throws equal to the number of creatures within 30 ft from you who are connected to your hive mind, including yourself.

Strength in numbers

You learn how to share the Hive Mind’s mental network with other creatures. As an action, you can touch a creature that is willing and not hostile to you, and initiate a mental link with it. The creature must remain within 5 feet of you and stay conscious for 1 minute, or the link is broken.

When you establish the link, you can choose one of the following options:

* **Ally:** The creature gains the ability to telepathically communicate with you and any other creature connected to your Hive Mind, as long as you are on the same plane of existence. The creature also gets access to the *Aiding the Hive Mind*-feature.
* **Thrall:** The target creature can make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC to resist the charm effect. If it fails the saving throw, the creature becomes charmed by you and follows your commands to the best of its ability. The creature also gains the ability to telepathically communicate with you and any other creature connected to your Hive Mind, as long as you are on the same plane of existence. At the end of every day, the creature can repeat its saving throw, ending the effect on a success.

The target creature does not know which option you choose until the link is established and the option takes effect.

A creature affected by either of these options counts as a member of the Hive Mind for all features that refer to them.

You can have a number of creatures inducted into the Hive Mind equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one). You can end the effect on any creature as a bonus action. The effect also ends if the creature dies, or if you die or become incapacitated.

Induct into the Hive Mind

You can detect the presence of thinking creatures you can't see. You can use an action to search for thoughts within 30 feet of you. Sense Thoughts can penetrate barriers, but 2 feet of rock, 2 inches of any metal other than lead, or a thin sheet of lead blocks you. You can't detect a creature with an Intelligence of 3 or lower or one that doesn't speak any language.

### Read thoughts
You can also focus your mind on any one creature that you have sensed within 30 feet of you. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw. If it fails, you gain insight into the target’s reasoning, its emotional state, and thoughts that loom large in its mind (including things the target worries about, loves, or hates).

### Write thoughts
You can also make a Charisma (Deception) check to deceive the target’s mind into thinking it believes one idea or feels a particular emotion. The target contests this attempt with a Wisdom (Insight) check. If you succeed, the mind believes the deception for 1 hour or until evidence of the lie is presented to the target. If you fail the target knows you attempted to enchant it's mind and is likely to become hostile towards you. Once you use this property, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Sense Thoughts

You gain the ability to draw on the other minds in the hive. As an action you can unite all minds in the hive within your own. For the next minute you know all languages and you are proficient in all skills. When making an ability check using a skill you were already proficient in you can add twice your proficiency bonus, instead of any proficiency bonus you normally apply.

For the duration, you can use a bonus action to channel the combined mental powers of the hive and lash out at a creature within 30 feet who is not a construct. The target must make an Intelligence saving throw or be incapacitated as it's mind is filled with a cacophony of voices ranging from soft whispers to deafening screams. Each time it takes damage, the target can make another Intelligence saving throw. On a success, the effect ends.

Uniting the hive is very straining. Once the effect wears off you gain one level of exhaustion.

Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

Unite

The Hive Mind

Paladins who take the Oath of Annihilation believe that the only way to bring about peace and justice is to eradicate all existence. They hold that evil is inherent in all living things, and that even the most devout cleric or paladin is capable of sinning. Therefore, they believe that the only way to truly eliminate evil is to destroy all that exists, leaving behind a realm of nothingness.

**Tenets of the Oath**

* There is no such thing as true goodness. All living things are capable of evil, and even the most benevolent acts can have unintended consequences.
* The only way to truly eliminate evil is to destroy all that exists. Only through the annihilation of all life can a world be truly pure and free from suffering.
* The path to annihilation is the path to salvation. By destroying all that exists, we free ourselves from the cycle of sin and suffering.

You gain access to these spells at the levels specified in the table below. Once you gain access to an oath spell, you always have it prepared. Oath spells don’t count against the number of spells you can prepare each day.

If you gain an oath spell that doesn’t appear on the paladin spell list, the spell is nonetheless a paladin spell for you.

| Paladin Level | Spells |
| :-- | :-- |
| 3rd | ¤Bane¤, ¤Wrathful Smite¤ |
| 5th | ¤Blindness/Deafness¤, ¤Hold Person¤ |
| 9th | ¤Fear¤, ¤Vampiric Touch¤ |
| 13th | ¤Banishment¤, ¤Blight¤ |
| 17th | ¤Cloudkill¤, ¤Destructive Wave¤ |

Oath Spells

When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the following two Channel Divinity options.

**Searing Purge**: As an action, you unleash a wave of destructive energy in a 30-foot radius around you. All creatures in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw or take 2d8 radiant damage + 2d8 necrotic damage + your Charisma modifier. Evil creatures have disadvantage on the saving throw.

**Annihilating Aura**: As an action, you can create an aura of annihilation that lasts for 1 minute or until you dismiss it (no action required). While the aura is active, any creature within 10 feet of you takes 1d8 radiant damage and 1d8 necrotic damage at the start of its turn.

Channel Divinity

Your attunement to annihilation empowers your opportunity attacks. When you make an opportunity attack, you can make two attacks instead of one. Additionally, if both attacks hit, the target suffers an additional 1d8 radiant or necrotic damage (your choice) from the sheer force of your destructive intent.

Harbringer of Destruction

When you use your divine smite ability you can choose to unleash a fiery explosion instead of the normal radiant smite. The damage type of the smite is fire, and it deals an additional 2d8 damage. Additionally, each creature within 10 feet of the target (including you) must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes fire damage equal to the smite's damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The DC for this saving throw is equal to your spell save DC.

Explosive Smite

Whenever you reduce a creature to 0 hit points, you gain a stack of Culling. Each stack of Culling grants you a +1 bonus to your attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws. The bonus lasts for 1 minute and stacks up to 3 times. Whenever you gain a stack, the duration of all stacks refreshes.

Culling

Oath of Annihilation

In the quiet corners of the world, there are those bards who find power in silence, expressing their magic through subtle gestures and expressions. Members of the College of Mimes captivate audiences with their silent performances, utilizing the art of miming to weave spells and enchant the world.

You gain proficiency in Sleight of Hand and Performance skills. If you're already proficient in these skills, you can choose two other skills from the bard's list.

Additionally, you can replace verbal components of any spell with intricate pantomimes and gestures, allowing you to cast spells even when silenced. To do this you must have two free hands to perform somatic components. 

Silent Spellcasting

Your nonverbal communication skills become unparalleled. You have advantage on all Charisma checks made to communicate with creatures nonverbally, and you can convey simple ideas and emotions to any creature, regardless of language or intelligence.

Expressive Gestures

As an action, you can expend one use of your bardic inspiration to create a 30-foot sphere of silence centered on yourself. The sphere moves with you, centered on you, and lasts for 1 minute or until you end it using a bonus action. Creatures and objects inside the sphere are under the effect of the ¤silence¤ spell.

Sphere of Silence

You can use your miming skills to create invisible objects out of thin air. You can create an object that is no larger than 5 cubic feet in volume and that weighs no more than 50 pounds, and the object must be of a form that you have seen before. The object lasts for 1 hour or until you dismiss it as an action.

Alternatively, you can create a 10x10ft wall of force that lasts for 1 minute. The wall is invisible and can be created anywhere within 60 feet of you. It must be a flat wall, but you can rotate it in any orientation you choose. The wall follows the rules of the ¤Wall of Force¤ spell.

You can create a number of objects or walls equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1) before you need to finish a long rest to use this feature again.

Mental Conjuration

College of Mimes

At 1st level, you choose the source of your connection to the astral sea. This could be a powerful entity in the astral sea, such as a god, a primordial, or an elder evil; a result of exposure to the astral sea, such as a portal, a planar rift, or a near-death experience; or perhaps you were born there, either as a native or a descendant of planar travelers.

You learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Astral Spells table. Each of these spells counts as a sorcerer spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of sorcerer spells you know.

| Sorcerer Level | Spells |
| :-- | :-- |
| 1st | ¤Detect Magic¤, ¤Shield¤ |
| 3rd | ¤Misty Step¤, ¤Detect Thoughts¤ |
| 5th | ¤Pulse Wave¤, ¤Clairvoyance¤ |
| 7th | ¤Banishment¤, ¤Dimension Door¤ |
| 9th | ¤Contact Other Plane¤, ¤Wall of Force¤ |

Astral Spells

You gain the ability to create a protective barrier of astral energy. As a reaction when you or a creature within 30 feet of you takes damage, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage by an amount equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1). Additionally, you can expend sorcery points to further reduce the damage. For every sorcery point you spend, the damage is reduced by 5 points.

Astral Shield

You radiate an aura of astral energy that affects yourself and your allies within 10 feet of you. You and any ally in your aura gain advantage on saving throws against effects that would banish, charm, frighten, paralyze, petrify, or stun you. Additionally, when you or an ally in your aura hits a creature with an attack or a spell that deals damage, you can use your reaction to add your Charisma modifier (minimum of +1) to the damage roll as force damage.

Astral Aura

You gain the ability to move through space by simply thinking about moving. You gain a flying (hover) and swimming speed, and can move in any direction. Your speed speed (in feet) is equal to 3 × your Intelligence score (minimum 30 feet). This movement ignores the effects of strong winds, underwater currents or other effects unless you choose to be affected by them.

Astral Movement

You gain the ability to project an astral dreadnought from the astral plane to your location. As an action, you can expend 5 sorcery points to project an astral dreadnaught to an unoccupied space within 60 feet of you. The projection is friendly to you and follows your commands. It uses the Astral Dreadnought’s stat block, but it has 150 hit points and has no legendary resistance or legendary actions. The projection acts immediately after you in combat. The projection remains for up to 1 hour, until you use your action to end the projection, or it is destroyed. If the projection is destroyed, the link between you and the dreadnought is severed, but the dreadnought itself is unharmed in the astral sea. Once you use this feature you cannot do so again until you complete a long rest.

This feature does not work if you are on the astral plane.

Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.

Astral Ally

Astral Origin

The College of Lies is a bardic subclass that focuses on deception and trickery, rather than music and performance. Bards who follow this path are masters of disguise, forgery, and manipulation. They use their silver tongues to weave intricate lies and half-truths, and their illusions to deceive the senses of others. They are often employed as spies, con artists, or diplomats, but can also be found in the courts of nobles or the dens of thieves.

When you join the College of Lies at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in the Deception and Insight skills. If you are already proficient in one or both of these skills, you can choose another skill from the bard’s skill list instead. You also gain proficiency with the disguise kit and the forgery kit.

Whenever you succeed on a Deception check against a creature, you regain one use of your Bardic Inspiration. You can only regain one use of Bardic Inspiration in this way per short rest or long rest.

Deceptive Inspiration

You can use your Bardic Inspiration to manipulate others with your words. As a bonus action, you can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to target one creature within 60 feet of you that can hear you. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or be charmed by you for 10 minutes or until you or your allies harm it. While charmed in this way, the target has disadvantage on Insight checks against you and must make a Wisdom saving throw whenever you ask it to do something that is against its nature or interests. On a failed save, it does what you ask as long as it is not obviously harmful or suicidal. On a successful save, the charm ends.

Silver Tongue

You can use your Bardic Inspiration to create convincing disguises and false identities. As an action, you can expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration to disguise yourself or one willing creature within 30 feet of you. The target gains a bonus to Deception checks equal to your Charisma modifier for the duration of the disguise, which lasts for 1 hour or until you end it as a bonus action. You can also use this feature to forge documents, seals, signatures, or other written evidence. The DC for anyone to detect the forgery is equal to spell save DC.

Master of Disguise

At 14th level, you have perfected your art of deception to the point where you can fool even the most discerning eyes and ears. You gain the following benefits:

- You can cast *disguise self* or *silent image* without expending a spell slot or spell components.
- When you cast an illusion spell of 1st level or higher, all creatures that can see or hear the illusion must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or be convinced that the illusion is real, even if it would normally be able to discern it. For example, if you cast *major image* to create the illusion of a dragon, and nearby creatures would believe that the dragon is real and act accordingly, even if they touched the illusion, saw through it with an Investigation check, or even if they have truesight. 
- You have advantage on Charisma (Deception) checks when you are disguised or using an illusion. Additionally, you can a d10 to any Charisma check you make that involves lying or deceiving someone.
