The Shaman of Sarran

Totemic Talismans

You can carve a supernatural talisman (totem) using your totem making kit.

You perform this feature by carving totems as part of a long rest. You may not carve more totems than your Intelligence modifier (a minimum of one). At 1st level you only know the rites particular 2 of the 4 basic elements.

You must use particular materials such as wood or bone to carve into a totem. Materials can be easily found in nature, such as branches from trees, bones from dead animals or skeletons, rocks or pebbles. During the carving, you recite a specific chant in your mind, to bind an element to the totem. Each totem is no bigger than your fist, and represents a crudely carved representation of nature's aspect.

The totem can by used by yourself or tossed to an ally within 30ft. The totem's effects begin immediately upon a command word and last for 1 minute, or until destroyed. The effect requires concentration by the user. Once the effects have worn off, the totem crumbles to a fine mist.

Totem Effect Component

Your Totem die changes when your each certain levels in this class. The die becomes a d8 at 5h level, a d10 at 10th level, and a d12 at 15th level.

Dreamwalking

While asleep during a long rest you can enter a state of lucid dreaming, enabling you to tear a crack into the Lands of Forever. Whilst there, you can pursue a number of activities. Once awake, you are granted various boons, depending on the endeavors pursued during your sojourn.

Explore
When dreamwalking, you may wander the Lands of Forever in order to know more about it, and through it, know more about the Living World. When you awaken, you have proficiency with Nature or History skill (choose one). The proficiency is lost if not renewed on the next dreamwalk as your memory of slumber slips into mist.

Commune
When dreamwalking, you may seek a specific soul of a dead person at the request of someone alive. The dead soul must have been a relative of the person alive, no matter how far in the line. You can take a message of 25 words from the dead soul back to the relative in the Living World, or vice versa.

Saran's Guidance
When dreamwalking, you can seek guidance of Saran itself, the warden of the gates between the World of the Living and the Lands of Forever. When you awaken, you gain a 1d6 bonus die. Once within the next 24 hours, you can roll the die and add the number rolled to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw. You may wait until after you roll the d20 before deciding to use the Dreamwalk die, but must decide before the GM says whether the roll successds or fails. Once the Dream die is rolled, it is lost. The die is lost if not renewed on the next Dreamwalk as your memory of slumber slips into mist.

Sarran's Gift

Starting at 2nd level, you learn how to shift into the body of a beast that you can see. You can use this feature twice. You regain expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.

You can inhabit the beast for a number of hours equal to half your shaman level (rounded down). You then revert to your own body unless you expend another use of the feature. You can revert to your own body earlier by using a bonus action on your turn. You automatically revert if you fall unconscious, drop to 0 hit points, or die. Once you have shifted out it, the beast resumes its existence as if it were unaware of what has happened though it may have lost hit points or be unconscious.

Whilst inhabiting a beast, the following rules apply:

Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the beast, but you retain your alignment, personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the creature. If the creature has the same proficiency as you and the bonus in its stat block is higher than yours, use the creature's bonus instead of yours. If the creature has any legendary or lair actions, you can't use them.
When you inhabit the beast, you assume all of the creature's hit points and Hit Dice. When you revert to your own body, you return to the number of hit points you had before you transformed. However, if you revert as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to your normal form. For example, if you take 10 damage in beast form and have only 1 hit point left, you revert and take 9 damage. As long as the excess damage doesn't reduce your own body to 0 hit points, you aren't knocked unconscious.
You can't cast spells, and your ability to speak or take any action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of the beast. Transforming doesn't break your concentration on a spell you've already cast or an active totem, however, or prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell, such as call lightning, that you've already cast.
You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them in the creature's body if it is physically capable of doing so. However, you can't use any of your special senses, such as darkvision, unless the creature body also has that sense.
Your body remains quite vulnerable while you inhabit a beast. Your body has the Unconscious condition.

Your shaman level determines the beasts you can inhabit, as shown on the Sarran's Gift Table.

Beginning at 3rd level, you may Dreamwalk in search for an elemental spirit. When you have successfully binded to the spirit, you may choose to bind to it from the physical world. You can then summon the elemental spirit. Once summoned, the elemental spirit will take its action immediately, and then disappear.

Elemental Spirits
All elementals summoned appear vaguely humanoid, lacking distinctive features such as eyes or mouths, or even limbs, and seeming completely engulfed in the element they represent. They do not walk, but float at a short distance from the ground. They cannot exist for long in the Living World, thus each elemental disappears back to the Lands of Forever after it takes its action.

You may only bind an elemental spirit as part of a long rest.
To summon the elemental spirit uses your action. You point the location at which you wish to summon this elemental, up to 15ft away from you. The location must be unoccupied.

Earth Elemental
The Earth elemental appears and solidifies in its place. A faint, orange glow envelops it, and red cracks appear across it, with lava oozing out of them. The elemental stays in place for 1 minute, unable to move, or to act.

You may use your reaction while the elemental is in place to aborb magical attacks against you or any single allied creature you can see. The elemental capacity to soak magic is based on the spell level of the attack. The elemental may absorb 2d6 levels of spell attacks before it disappears. Cantrips are considered 1st level spells for this effect. It cannot absorb any area of effect spells.

Air Elemental
Once summoned, the elemental spins around you until it morphs into a gentle wind that rushes above and around all allied creatures, causing light enough objects to lift up into the air. The wind dissipates after a short while and you and all of your allies have been granted Air's protection.

You may use your reaction while the elemental is present to deflect or absorb ranged wepaon attacks against you, or any single allied creature you can see. Each deflection reduces the damage taken from the attach by 1d10 + your Intelligence modifier + your shaman level. Non-damaging ranged weapon attacks, such as web and nets, are repelled entirely. The elemental may deflect a number or ranged attacks equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1).

If the damage received by the ranged weapon attack is reduced to 0, it can be used to make a ranged attack with that weapon or ammunition as part of the same reaction. You make this attack with proficiency, regardless of your weapon proficiencies. The attack has a normal range of 20ft and a long range of 60ft.

Water Elemental
Once summoned, the elemental appears as if from thin air, by using the moisture in the air and any bodies of water in its vicinity to take shape. Thin tendrils form up in the air, spinning slowly into each other, forming threads, which meet other threads and so on, until the elemental is fully formed. It spins faster and faster, splashing all creatures around it in a 60ft radius with water and then crashes to the ground, leaving a pool of water which slowly seeps into the ground, as it disappears.

All enemy creatures splashed with the elemental waters have been hexed. Any spell attack that deals damage, the caster may re-roll a number of damage dice equal to your Intelligence modifier. The result of the re-roll must be accepted. For spells such as Magic Missile, only the first magical "projectile" is considered for the bonus.

The number of spells cast that receive this bonus is equal to your Intelligence modifier. Affected spells can be cast be any allied creature, including yourself, provided that you or your ally have been splashed by the elemental's water.

Fire Elemental
Once summoned, the air around the location combusts, giving shape to the Fire Elemental as it materializes into this world. Floating above the ground, the elemental, although eyeless, seems to stare at the enemy with the intensity only Fire can muster. Flaming beams of incandescent light sprout from all over it after a short time, lashing at the creatures it previously gazed at. Once all of the creatures in a 10ft radius sphere range have been touched by the flames, the elemental snuffs itself out and disappears.

All creatures marked and touched by the flaming beams make a Wisdom save or become frenzied, as their insides start boiling. On their turn, they make a melee attack against a randomly determined creature within reach, friendly one or otherwise. The creature suffers disadvantage to each of its attacks.

The spell requires concentration, up to 1 minute. During the frenzied state, the affected creatures cannot cast any spells. At the end of each of its turns, an affected target can make a Wiscom saving throw. if it successdes, this effect ends for that target.
