Remembrance of the Lost Arts

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you learn Lost Arts that are powered by your Arts Dice.

Lost Arts. You learn 3 base Arts at 3rd level, which require Arts Dice to use. Lost Arts channel the power of combat styles lost to time to enhance your fighting and give you weapons made of light. You may have gained this power from a god, studies of the mystical and magical arts, or any other way.

Your arts improve at 7th level, and 10th, and finally 15th level.

Arts Dice. You have four arts dice, which start as d8s. A arts die is expended when you use it. You regain all of your expended arts dice when you finish a short or long rest.

Your dice increase to a d10 at 7th level, and to a d12 at 15th level. You gain another arts die at 10th level and one more at 18th level.

Saving Throws. Some of your arts require your target to make a saving throw to resist the art’s effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Arts save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice)
