Runed Skin

Beginning at 1st level, choose one type of script: elvish, dwarvish, draconic, infernal or celestial. You learn one language written with the chosen script and all your infused tattoos bear a resemblence to the script. Your choice grants you features at 1st level and again at 3rd, 6th, 14th and 18th level. All of these features are detailed at the end of the class description.

In addition, while you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Charisma modifier.

The feature gained at 1st level allows you to alter one of your arms, which you choose at character creation. This arm is covered in a tattoo that can not be removed and which arm it’s covering can’t be changed later.

Sense History

Beginning at 1st level, the presence of recent events reveal themselves to you, if you choose to open your eyes to them. As an action, you can open your awareness to detect these events and the true name of any creature within 60 feet of you that possesses one. The name is displayed as text, visible only to your eyes, hovering above their head (if the creature doesn’t have a head, it hovers above its body). You can keep awareness this way for a number of minutes equal to your Charisma score and must maintain concentration during that time, as if you were casting a spell. You can't see your own true name or events that have happened to you.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier + 1 (minimum of 1). You regain expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Recent Events. Any event that happened within the last hour is displayed in a similar manner as that of a creature's name, but only details what actions other creatures took, anything they experienced or heard and anything they spoke. The text that reveals the action of a creature hovers around the general area where the creature performed the action. The text opacity depends on how long ago the event happened: If the text is bright, the event happened recently. If the text is faded, the event happened closer to one hour ago.

If there's a lot of recent events (such as in a busy marketplace, or if you're trying to track an army), you become blinded for its duration instead.

Focused Events. At 7th level, you can choose to focus this vision on a single creature's events. In order to do this, you must speak the true name of the creature as you use this ability. When you do, only the events that happened to that creature will be revealed to you.

Spellcasting

Beginning at 2nd level, you start learning how to handle having more magic infused in your body. As your body learns how to handle more magic, you'll be able to make more tattoos and infuse them with spells.

All spell infused tattoos on your body have a faint, colored glow. The color is related to the school or nature of the spell infused in them.

Infusing Tattoos and Casting Spells

The Augur table shows how many spell slots you have to cast the spells infused in your tattoos. To cast one of your Augur spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a spell slot of the same level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

You make and infuse tattoos with spells from the list of augur spells that are available to you, choosing from the augur spell list. Making a tattoo and infusing it with a spell takes 10 minutes per spell level of the spell you're infusing into the tattoo as well as tattooing tools and proficiency with it. The maximum number of spells you can have infused in tattoos is equal to your Charisma modifier + half your augur level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

You can change what spell is infused in a tattoo when you finish a short or long rest. Infusing a tattoo with a new spell from the augur spell list requires time spent in meditation or performing no more than light activity, such as preparing food, looking out for hostile creatures or speaking with friendly creatures: at least 1 minute per spell level for the spell you're replacing and the spell you're replacing it with.

You can also remove a tattoo and the spell infused in it by spending 5 minutes performing a ritual. This ritual requires pure water to perform.

Spellcasting Ability

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your augur spells, since their power comes from your sheer force of will. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for an augur spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

• Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

• Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Spellcasting Focus

You can use the weapon conjured by your Runic Skin feature as a spellcasting focus for your augur spells.

Arcane Aftershocks (Arcane Well)

Casting spells leaves magical energy in your tattoos that you can utilize for various effects. When you cast an augur spell, roll a number of d6 equal to the spell's level and add it to your current arcane power. The Augur table shows you the maximum amount of arcane power you can have at any time.

You can use arcane power to regain spent spell slots. As a bonus action, you can spend arcane power to regain one spent spell slot. The cost of regaining spent spell slots is shown in the Regaining Spell Slots table below. You gain more ways of using arcane power as you gain levels in this class.

Regaining Spell slots

Spell Slot Level	Cost
1st	5
2nd	8
3rd	12
4th	15
5th	19

Arcane Powers

By the time you reach 2nd level, you've learned how to use the arcane aftershocks stored in your body to create magical effects. After you finish a long rest, you prepare powers up to your Charisma modifier + one third your augur level (minimum 1) from the “Powers” list below. These powers use arcane power and produce a variety of effects, some of which are attacks and some of which are spells.

You may only use one power per attack. To cast a spell from a power, you use its casting time and other rules, but you don’t need to provide material components for it and you spend arcane power instead of expending a spell slot to cast it. All spells you cast using your powers require somatic ingredients and can be used with somatic strikes.

You know all powers that are of your augur level or lower. At 11th and 15th level you gain access to more powers that you can prepare at the end of every long rest. Some powers have additional effects depending on what kind of runed skin you have while others require a certain kind of runed skin to be used.

You can spend 1 arcane power to cast the light cantrip, targeting all of your tattoos. In addition to the normal options for colors, when you cast the spell you can make your tattoos shine in a myriad of different colors and change colors as they do so.

When the alarm is triggered, one of your tattoos, chosen when you cast this spell, starts shimmering and itching (this replaces the mental and audible alarm options). This alarm is only set off if you are within 1 mile of the warded area and awakens you if you are sleeping.

Make Safe.

You can spend 5 arcane power to cast arcane lock. You can cast this spell using this power once and regain the ability to do so after a short rest.

A creature that's lost concentration this way can't cast that spell until it finishes a long rest.

Not of This World (15th Level Required).

When you would be reduced to 0 hit points as a result of taking damage but not killed outright, you can use your reaction and spend all your arcane power to first gain temporary hit points equal to the arcane power spent + your Charisma modifier + your augur level. Then, if you’re not killed by the damage, you gain temporary hit points equal to the arcane power spent.

You can use this power once and regain the ability to do so after finishing a long rest.

Sprout Gills.

You can spend 1 arcane power and use your action to give yourself the ability to breathe underwater for 24 hours. You can end this effect early as an action.

True Strike (15th Level Required).

Magic Resistance (15th Level Required).

When you make a saving throw against a spell, you can spend 9 arcane power to gain advantage on the saving throw. You can spend an additional 9 arcane power after seeing the result of the saving throw to gain resistance against the spell's damage.

You can also grapple creatures up to two size categories larger than you instead of one.

Fire Wings

Beginning at 14th level, A tattoo manifests itself over your shoulder blades on your back in the shape of wings. This tattoo is infused with magic that lets you use a bonus action to sprout fiery wings from it. The fire doesn’t harm you or friendly creatures and grants you a flying speed equal to twice your walking speed. The wings retract if you fall unconscious, drop to 0 hit points or die. You can also retract them as a bonus action.

You can magically copy the tattoo to another creature you touch as an action, giving that creature the same ability. They can use their reaction upon recieving the tattoo or as a bonus action during their turn to sprout the wings. The maximum number of times you can copy the tattoo to other creatures before taking a long rest this way is 2 + your Charisma modifier. The tattoo dissipates after 8 hours or when the creature retracts the wings.

The wings manifest three inches away from the tattoo, meaning that they can be manifested while wearing armor. Doing so may burn clothing.

Intensifying Flames

Beginning at 18th level, as a bonus action, you can temporarily increase the temperature of your arm to extreme levels while your Arm of Fire feature is activated. Lava starts to drip from your arm, thinner parts of your arm, such as your fingers, turn white from the extreme heat.

The strongest of steel doors melt like butter with your touch, giving you the ability to use your hand to carve through any nonmagical object and any magical object (as long as that object is vulnerable to fire or lava)

As a part of this bonus action, you may make a weapon attack with the arm. A creature that's hit by this arm takes 20d6 fire damage. Any creature you make an attack against with the arm takes the same amount of damage. This replaces the normal unarmed damage for the arm for as long as this feature is active.

A creature that begins its turn in direct contact with your arm or is in direct contact with your arm when you activate this feature must make a constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. On a success, that creature takes 20d6 fire damage. On a failed save, that creature is reduced to 0 hit points. Creatures immune to fire damage automatically succeed on this saving throw and creatures that are resistant to fire damage have advantage on the saving throw.

The temperature of the flames return to normal when you lose concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell)

You can use this ability once and regain the ability to do so after completing a long rest.

Beginning when you select this script at 1st level, you gain the ability to turn one of your arms (chosen at character creation) from the elbow down into a greatsword as a bonus action. The tattoos on your arm from the elbow down covers the sword. This longsword is an evil sentient magical weapon with the same Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma scores as you. It has hearing and darkvision out to a range of 60 feet. The sword can speak, read and understand all languages you do, and can communicate telepathically to other creatures it can see and you can always hear what it says. It uses your voice if you let it and its own when you don't. It can also let you see what it percieves through its own view. The arm reverts to its normal form when you fall unconcious, drop to 0 hit points, or die. The arm can also be reverted to its normal form as a bonus action. While this feature isn't activated, the sword's sentience manifests in your arm instead, though you keep control over your arm.

The sword's purpose is determined randomly from the Purpose table from the DMG p.216.

The sword starts with one benefitial and one detrimental effect and you gain more as you gain levels in this class. The effect is always determined randomly by rolling on either the "benefitial effect" or "detremental effect" table below, adding to or subtracting from the roll up to your augur level.

Celestial Script

Arm of Lightning

Beginning when you select this script at 1st level, you gain the ability to channel lightning through one of your arms (chosen at character creation). Lightning sparks between tattoos on the arm, and the tattoos start to glow in a white blue color.

While this ability is active, any unarmed attacks you make with the arm deal 1d10 + Strength or Dexterity modifier lightning damage instead of the normal damage. In addition to this, you can shoot lightning out of the arm. Treat this as an unarmed strike with the ranged property. The range is 150 ft. The arm reverts to its normal form when you fall unconcious, drop to 0 hit points, or die. The arm can also be reverted to its normal form as a bonus action.

Script Spells

Beginning at 3rd level, you learn one cantrip from the runeomancer spell list. You learn an additional one at 11th level. These spells and any other cantrip spell you know is infused into the tattoo covering your arm (chosen at character creation)

In addition to this, you gain the ability to cast certain spells. At 3rd, 5th, 9th, 13th and 17th level you gain access to certain spells, as detailed below. These spells count as augur spells for you and they appear on your skin as infused tattoos. These spells do not count towards the maximum number of infused tattoos you can have on your body at a time and they can not be exchanged for other spells on the augur spell list when you gain a level.

Casting one of these spells requires a somatic ingredient for the purpose of Somatic Strikes and any of these spells with the ranged property doesn’t impose disadvantage on you when cast within 5 feet of another hostile creature.

Script Spells

Augur Level	Spells
3rd	Shocking Grasp, Witch Bolt, Compelled Duel
5th	Misty Step, Find Steed
9th	Lightning Bolt, Crusader's Mantle
13th	Storm Sphere, Death Ward
17th	Telekinesis, Raise Dead

Thunderbolt Strike

At 6th level, when you deal lightning damage to a large or smaller creature, you can also push it up to 10 feet away from you.

Celestial Blessing

Starting at 14th level, when you make an ability check, you can spend up to 6 arcane power and add the amount spent to your ability check. You can choose to do so after you roll the die for the ability check, but before the DM tells you whether you succeed or fail. You can use this feature once and regain the ability to do so after a short or long rest.

Lightning Mastery

Beginning at 18th level, you gain the ability to cast the Lightning Bolt spell whith Somatic Strikes when you take the Attack action. You still have to use a spell slot to cast it.

Special Thanks

I'd like to thank /u/Stolksdorf for the homebrewing tool at naturalcrit.com/comebrew! It took me a little bit of time to learn how to use it, but it saved me a lot of trouble in the end.

I'd also like to thank /u/JamesMusicus for his Guide to Homebrewing Classes in D&D 5e at zappyman2.wix.com/musicushomebrew as it helped me understand how classes were balanced immensely!
