This cleric domain is the other side of the same cynical and pessimistic coin as the Oath of Grief paladin subclass that’s also appearing alongside the Madness Domain in The Impermissicon. The class has two 1st-level features in addition to the bonus cantrip because one of them, Divine Hallucinations, isn’t always even a benefit, depending on the DM’s level of deviousness.
All four blood magic subclasses for the casters have some variant of their main blood magic ability, however, regardless of their focus. For wizards and sorcerers, that ability is called Hematurgy. Like the blood mages of Dragon Age, these blood mages can spill their own blood to fuel their magic even when their normal spell reserves have run dry, recklessly harming themselves in the process. This subclass for the sorcerer actually gets bonus hit dice to spend on that feature, and extra healing to make up for the damage, as a way of tying the sorcerer’s default “magic is in your bloodline” theme to the specific “blood magic” theme.
Today we have a bonus treat: an updated look at phantasmal plunge, which previously appeared in the preview of the Oath of Grief, along with another new spell that will show up with phantasmal plunge on the spell list of the Madness Domain subclass for clerics. And since that subclass will appear in The Impermissicon, so will these two spells! Both these spells also show off the increase in ratio of Intelligence and Charisma saving throw spells in D&D Unleashed.
Though these spells work best for the Arcane Tricksters they were designed for, they can be used to great effect by many other sneaky characters or illusionists of various classes and builds. If you want to force-choke your foes, these spells are for you!
The Oath of Grief paladin subclass was originally designed for a specific god within my homebrew setting, a god of solace, madness, and pessimism (with a gravity theme), but it works just as well for other dark gods or paladin orders. These guys may seem like edgelords, but they really do believe that to ignore their tenets is to cling to false hope and only hurt more for it.
Sift Memory began with a realization that while the existing modify memory spell allowed a caster to change someone's memory even of the distant past, there were no spells that could enable the caster to see the target's memories. The best you could do was prompt them to remember while using detect thoughts, but this has obvious downsides and limitations.
Do you wish that your Illusionist Wizard had more offensive spell options? Would you like to be able to build a sorcerer who only has illusion spells to represent someone with purely illusion-based magic? Today we’re previewing minor Illusion spells intended for combat from The Impermissicon!
Today we’re sharing one of my favorite content previews from the upcoming compendium The Impermissicon: new subclasses to enable players to build lycanthrope characters for the barbarian, druid, and warlock classes. The warlock subclass can also be used for PCs that are vampires rather than lycanthropes, as well as some other warlock concepts like shapeshifting witches.
