\page # The Seeker *A dream stirs the elf to waken, “a storm is coming and our quarry’s tracks will be lost” they announce as the hint of clouds begin to form in the east. The group grumbles as they begin to break camp, but know better than to question the visions of their elf companion.* *Under the cover of darkness, she springs the lock in the blink of an eye. Recognizing and avoiding the pressure plate immediately behind the door was easier than she thought; infiltrating the Skyway in Sharn was the hard part, but her elegant fingers and keen mind were so much better suited to the mechanical side of her missions.* *Having built a barricade, the bloodied warrior catches their breath while the harried priest tends to the unconscious mage, the fourth adventurer, as battered as he is, pulls out his teapot. “Is this really the time for that?” the warrior says, a slight tremble to their voice. Lighting a fire, the seeker doesn’t look up as he continues to rummage in his bag, “if you prefer to get out of this in one piece, then just keep them at bay, this brew will fix everything.” The tea leaves glow with a brilliant green light as the water comes to a boil. A smirk comes across the seeker’s face “I just wish we could see the look on their faces...”* ### Divine Guidance To be a Seeker is to be on a mission given out by a higher being. Maybe an angel appears in visions or the seeker is able to hear the whispers of a Prince of Hell, seekers follow a divine path. Although a seeker’s mission varies, most commonly they are looking for someone, a person of importance to their deity such as a prophet, muse, or even an avatar of another god. Unlike a paladin or cleric who may follow the tenets of a god and leads others in that religion, a seeker is given guidance by their deity. Through study of the arcane and interpretation of signs and symbols that most would miss, a seeker’s path is laid before them. The tasks that seekers are given may be devoid of how to complete them, thus a seeker must be adept at gathering intelligence. Seekers care not where their information comes from, whether guidance gifted by the divine, the knowledge still held by the dead, or simply by charming those that would otherwise hoard secrets; by any means will they uncover the path laid before them. ### Find a Path or Make One A seeker moves through the world with ease, adept at traveling quickly over the roughest of terrain. As such, a seeker needs to be adept at infiltrating the toughest to reach places around Eberron; they spring locks, recognize traps, and can work with the tools around them to get past the clockwork mechanisms common to this world. Not nearly to the level of an artificer’s mastery over all things mechanical and crafted, but similar to their other skills, seekers use magic to make up for their lack in certain areas. ``` ```

### Mind Over Matter The skills a seeker possesses are minor compared to what they have trained for. A seeker uses their body as a vessel for empowering magics, allowing their spells to change how their own form functions. Because of this training, they more often rely not on talent, but instead on the use of magic to make up what is lacking. Continuing this line of thinking, seekers often rely on others to get through difficult situations, a wise seeker is aware that they cannot handle every situation thrown their way. Seekers should be able to work well with their fellow companions to accomplish the goals set before them by their patron, as such a seeker’s spells lean towards improving their gifts and the group rather than blatantly destructive magics.

### Creating a Seeker When creating a Seeker, consider what kind of deity you follow and quest for. What kind of training did you go through to become a seeker? How do has your patron or god communicate with you and how do you read their omens? Will you aid your allies in combat with supportive magics or empower your own abilities to take down your foes? Be sure to work with the DM about your background. #### Quick Build You can make a Seeker quickly by following these suggestions. First, make either Dexterity or Intelligence your highest ability score, followed by Constitution. Second, choose the Outlander background. #### Hit Points ___ - **Hit Dice:** 1d8 per seeker level - **Hit Points at 1st Level:** 8 + your Constitution modifier - **Hit Points at Higher Levels:** 1d8 (or 5) + your Constitution modifier per seeker level after 1st ``` ``` #### Proficiencies ___ - **Armor:** Light armor, shields - **Weapons:** Simple Weapons, hand crossbows, shortbows, longbows, longswords, rapiers, shortswords - **Tools:** Thieve's tools, one type of artisan's tools of your choice ___ - **Saving Throws:** Constitution, Intelligence - **Skills:** Choose three from Acrobatics, Arcana, Deception, History, Investigation, Medicine, Religion, Perception, Persuasion, Sleight of Hand, Stealth, Survival #### Equipment You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background: - a rapier, shortsword, or longsword - shortbow, shortsword, a dagger, or a shield - leather armor - Thieves’ or tinkerers’ tools and a dungeoneer’s pack - One fortune telling device such as tarot cards, a crystal ball, various teas, etc.

\page ### Spellcasting Through your studies and connection with the divine, you are able to use magic spells. As a seeker, your magic is generally slower than others, but creativity is your true power. See Spells Rules for the general rules of spellcasting. ##### Cantrips (0-Level Spells) At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the seeker pell list. At higher levels, you learn additional seeker cantrips of your choice, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Seeker table. >##### Spell Points > Spell Points are a variant magic resource (DMG pg 288) that is an optional rule that would replace Spell Slots discussed in the Player's Handbook. > In this variant, each spell has a point cost based on its level. The Spell Point Cost table summarizes the cost in spell points of slots from 1st to 9th level. >Cantrips don't require slots and therefore don't require spell points. > > Instead of gaining a number of spell slots to cast your spells from the Spellcasting feature, you gain a pool of spell points instead. You expend a number of spell points to create a spell slot of a given level, and then use that slot to cast a spell. You can’t reduce your spell point total to less than 0, and you regain all spent spell points when you finish a long rest. > >Spells of 6th level and higher are particularly taxing to cast. You can use spell points to create one slot of each level of 6th or higher. You can’t create another slot of the same level until you finish a long rest. ##### Preparing and Casting Spells The Seeker table shows how many spell points you have to cast your seeker spells. To cast one of your seeker spells of 1st level or higher at the regular casting time, you must expend a number of spell points of the spell’s level, but no more than your max spendable spell points. You regain all expended spell points when you finish a long rest. The table below shows the equivalence of spell levels to spell points. ##### Spell Point Cost

| Spell Level | Point Cost | |:---:|:------------:| | 1st | 2 | | 2nd | 3 | | 3rd | 5 | | 4th | 6 | | 5th | 7 | ``` ``` | Spell Level | Point Cost | |:---:|:------------:| | 6th | 9 | | 7th | 10 | | 8th | 11 | | 9th | 13 |

``` ``` Additionally, you prepare a list of spells at the end of each long rest from the seeker spell list. When you do so, choose a number of spells equal to your Intelligence modifier + half your seeker level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you are able to cast. These spells count as Seeker spells for purposes of spellcasting, spell points, and rites. For spell levels greater than 5th level, you can only prepare a maximum of two from each spell level per day. Additionally, you may only cast a spell greater than 5th level once per long rest for each spell level. ##### Spellcasting Ability Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your seeker spells, since you learn your spells through dedicated study and memorization. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a seeker spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one. Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier ##### Ritual spells You can cast any seeker spell you know as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag. ##### Spellcasting Focus You can use a divine focus as a spellcasting focus for your seeker spells. This divine focus can be your fortune telling device. ### Rites For any spell prepared, you are able to cast those spells a number of times per long rest equal to the amount of max spendable spell points. The cast time for these spells follows the format of rituals and equals the standard casting time plus 10 minutes. Every spell cast using this feature greater than 5th level costs expends extra uses of the Rites per day seen in the chart below.

| Spell Level | Rites Used | |:---:|:------------:| | 6th | 4 | | 7th | 5 | | 8th | 6 | | 9th | 7 |

\page ### Seeker Practice Choose one Practice related to how you best will serve your patron: Seer, Traveler, or Inquisitor (a focus on martial prowess that will be coming soon). Each Practice is detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you Practice spells and features when you choose it at 1st level and additional benefits at 3rd, 10th, and 14th level. #### Practice Spells Each Practice has a list of spells, its Practice spells, that you gain at the Seeker levels noted in the Practice description. Once you gain a Practice spell, you always have it prepared, and it doesn't count against the number of spells you can prepare each day. If you have a Practice spell that doesn't appear on the Seeker spell list, the spell is nonetheless a Seeker spell for you. ### Tea Leaves Additionally at 1st level, you have studied the greater arcanum enough to know which omens should receive attention and what can be cast aside so you may be a better guide. You have advantage on ability checks to read signs of good and ill omens. You can reach out to the ambient magic around you to guide yourself and others. You learn the Guidance cantrip, which doesn’t count against the number of seeker cantrips you know. ### Divine Inspiration Starting at 2nd Level, your quick thinking and agility allow you to move and act quickly. By spending 1 spell point, you can take a bonus action on each of your turns in combat. This action can be used only to take the Steady Aim, Dash, Disengage action, or take a search action using either Investigate, Survival, or Perception.

### Magical Adaptation Starting at 3rd level, whenever you finish a long rest, you can replace one seeker cantrip you know with another cantrip from the seeker spell list. ### Ability Score Improvement When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature. Using the optional feats rule, you can forgo taking this feature to take a feat of your choice instead. ### Enhanced Attack At 6th level, whenever you use a cantrip that takes an Action, you can make one weapon attack as part of that action. ### Endure Starting at 7th Level, when an attacker that you can see hits you with an Attack, you can spend 2 spell points and use your Reaction to halve the attack's damage against you. ### Hold Fast Beginning at 10th level, you've trained your body to go withstand certain area effects, such as a white dragon's freezing breath or a Cloudkill spell's poison gases. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Constitution saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail. ### Movement Mastery At 18th level, magic suffeses your every step. You are permently under the effects of the Freedom of Movement spell and may use the spells Misty Step and Dimension Door once each without expending spell points. ### Divine Blessing When you reach 20th level, you may call on your diety for a boon. At the end of a long rest, choose from one of the following blessings: - **Dragon's Strength**: You have advantage on three Strength Checks or Saves of your choice, cannot be knocked prone or disarmed, and add 2 damage to each melee attack. - **Fey's Grace**: You have advantage on three Dexterity Checks or Saves, gain 10 feet of movement speed, and do not take fall damage when falling from 100 feet or less as long as you aren't incapcitated. - **Old One's Endurance**: You have advantage on three Constitution Checks or Saves, and gain 30 temporary hit points. - **Lich's Cunning**: You have advantage on three Intelligence Checks or Saves, and gain resistance to psychic damage. - **Angel's Wisdom**: You have advantage on three Wisdom Checks or Saves, and you have Truesight out to 10 feet. - **Devil's Charm**: You have advantage on three Charisma Checks or Saves, and can ignore the verbal and somatic components of a spell once when casting a spell.

\page ## Seeker Practices Early on, Seekers choose a Practice that helps them best listen to their patron and find what needs to be found.
