Base Class: Sorcerer
Inspired by the Daemon from Philip Pullman's Dark Materials trilogy, the Sentinel Soul is a Sorcerer that gains their magic from a powerful bond between them and an external physical manifestation of their Soul, called a Sentinel, that takes the form of an animal.
Soul Magic
You learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Soul Magic Spells table. Each of these spells counts as a sorcerer spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of sorcerer spells you know. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your spells.

Sentinel Soul
1st-level Sentinel Soul feature
You gain the service of a Sentinel. Sentinels are the external physical manifestation of your soul that takes the form of an animal. Sentinels have human intelligence, are capable of human speech—regardless of the form they take—and usually behave as though they are independent of their humans. The Sentinel assumes the form of the animal which the person most resembles in character. Sentinels are usually of the opposite sex to their human, though same-sex Sentinels do exist. If the Sentinel's person dies, the Sentinel fades into a cloud of golden dust, reforming only if the person is revived.
All Sentinel's have the following traits:
- Your Sentinel is a Celestial of Small or Tiny size (Dependant on the species chosen.)
- You and your Sentinel both share the same pool of hit points. Any damage done to your Sentinel is also felt by you, and vice versa, all damage is taken from your hit points. If you both take damage from area effects, such as the explosion of a fireball, you only take one iteration of the damage.
- Your Sentinel also shares your Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma scores as well as any skills and saving throws you have.
- Darkvision with a range of 60 feet.
- You have advantage on Intelligence and Wisdom checks while within 5 feet of your Sentinel and able to communicate with them. In addition you gain a +5 bonus to your passive Wisdom (perception) score.
- Your Sentinel can travel up to 100 feet away from you, anything above that causes a great pain to you both. For every round over you are both more than 100 feet from each other you take 1d10 force damage.
- In combat, your Sentinel moves on your initiative and you control how it acts.
- Your Sentinel can serve as an arcane focus, allowing them to be a conduit for your spells, by using both your actions you can cast a spell from your Sentinel's location instead of yours.
Your Sentinel uses a Sentinel Soul stat block depending on it's genus and species. (Determined at your DM's discretion. For example a House Cat could use the Land: Predator or Land: Rodent stat block.) You can select a type of Sentinel from the following list, by choosing a genus and a species:
- Amphibian Universal Traits: Amphibious, Poison Immunity. - Frog/Toad, Newt/Salamander.
- Insect Universal Traits: Hidden. - Arachnid, Buzzing, Mantis, Scorpion, Scurrying, Snail, Stinging.
- Land Universal Traits: Good Mobility, Pack Tactics. - Ape, Aquatic, Predator, Quadruped, Rodent, Spiked.
- Reptile Universal Traits: Camouflage. - Crocodilian, Lizard, Snake, Tortoise.
