Experimental Malpractitioner

Some physicians go through years of arduous training and research in order to qualify as a full fledged healer. However, some have this gift, but don't have the money or support to earn their qualifications. This is where you come in.

As a Experimental Malpractitioner, you operate outside of the law when it comes to treating the sick and wounded. You may find yourself having to offer cheaper rates than a cleric or healer due to the shadiness of the work, and you've learned not to ask any questions.

However, being invisible to the law has it's advantages. Medical experiments never dreamed of can be performed on your patients, as you don't have to worry about silly things like red tape and ethical medicinal practices. Maybe some of these procedures go wrong, but in your eyes, the customer gets what they pay for.

Spellcasting

When you reach 3rd level, you gain the ability to cast spells. See Spells Rules for the general rules of spellcasting and the Spells Listing for the cleric spell list.

Cantrips

You learn three cantrips of your choice from the Cleric spell list. You learn another Cleric cantrip of your choice at 10th level.

Spell Slots

The Experimental Malpractitioner table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your cleric spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

For example, if you know the 1st-level spell charm person and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast charm person using either slot.

Spells Known of 1st-Level and Higher

You know three 1st-level cleric spells of your choice, two of which you must choose from the evocation and necromancy spells on the cleric spell list.

The Spells Known column of the Experimental Malpractitioner Spellcasting table shows when you learn more cleric spells of 1st level or higher. Each of these spells must be an evocation or necromancy spell of your choice, and must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 7th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.

The spells you learn at 8th, 14th, and 20th level can come from any school of magic.

Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the cleric spells you know with another spell of your choice from the cleric spell list. The new spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots, and it must be an evocation or necromancy spell, unless you’re replacing the spell you gained at 8th, 14th, or 20th level.

Spellcasting Ability

Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your cleric spells, since you learn your spells through dedicated study and memorization.
