Class: Occultist

Recommended Domains: Shadow (intuition) & Bone (endurance)

Spellcast Trait: Intuition

FOUNDATION FEATURE — Hex Pool & Blood Price

You maintain a Hex Pool, a collection of whispered debts and diverted fortunes.

Your pool starts at 0 and can hold up to 5 Hex Points.

You gain 1 Hex Point when:

• An ally spends Hope within Close range (once per ally per scene).

• An enemy fails a roll against you or an ally (once per enemy per scene).

You spend 1 Hex Point to do one of the following (no action required):

• Twist Fate: Force a nearby enemy to roll with Disadvantage on its next roll.
• Ease Burden: Grant a nearby ally Advantage on their next roll.
• Keep the Balance: When you roll with Disadvantage, cancel it.
• Blood Price: Channel the debt through pain — deal 2d8 necrotic damage to a creature within Close range.

At the end of a rest, your pool empties.

SPECIALIZATION FEATURE — Folk Hexcraft

Every charm is a promise kept.

When you take a rest, you weave a number of charms equal to your level divided by 2 (minimum 1).
