Sage Mode

Sage Mode

You enter a heightened state of awareness and connection to the arcane and natural world. In this state, your body, mind, and magic harmonize into one.

Activating Sage Mode

•You may enter Sage Mode by concentrating for 1 minute (no damage can be taken or actions performed during this time other than movement and concentration).

•Sage Mode requires concentration to maintain, and you may not maintain any other transformation or form-based abilities (such as Polymorph, Wild Shape, or similar class features) while in Sage Mode.

•Sage Mode lasts for a number of minutes equal to your proficiency bonus, or until your concentration ends (as if concentrating on a spell).

•You may use Sage Mode once per long rest, unless regained through a class feature or feat.

While in Sage Mode, you gain the following benefits:

1. Magic Resistance

You have advantage on saving throws against spells and magical effects.

2. Free Spellcasting

You may cast  spells without expending a spell slot. The spells you can cast equal to half your proficiency bonus (rounded down).

3. Empowered Unarmed Strikes

Your unarmed strikes are enhanced by magical energy:

•They use your spell attack modifier to hit.

•They deal damage equal to 1d4 × your proficiency bonus (e.g., at Proficiency +4, that’s 4d4).

•The damage type is force unless otherwise chosen by class/feature.

4. Extra Attack

If you do not already have Extra Attack, you gain it while in Sage Mode (you may attack twice, instead of once, when you take the Attack action on your turn).

5. Aura-Enhanced Defense

Your Armor Class increases by an amount equal to your proficiency bonus.
