6th level Planar Scholar feature.

Your understanding of your chosen plane deepens, and its influence now feels natural to you. You are aware of the general codes of conduct, natural mechanics and requirements for survival in that plane. Deep inside, you feel a kinship with the creatures of your chosen plane...

Aberrant Connection

As a reaction when a creature you can see within 60 feet of you is targeted with a ranged attack, you can telekinetically shift the attack's trajectory so that it passes through a space directly adjacent to its original target. If its new trajectory intersects the space of another creature, the attack now targets that creature instead.

You can use this ability an amount of times equal to your proficiency modifier. All expended uses are regained after a short or long rest.

Abyssal Connection

As a reaction when your summoned Quasit dies, you can resummon it with full health in an empty space within 5 feet of yourself. You can use this ability twice before requiring a short or long rest to regain all expended uses.

When resummoned using this ability, your Quasit has 10 temporary hit points that fade after 1 minute.

Celestial Connection

As a reaction when a creature you can see within 60 feet of you drops to 0 hit points, you can restore d12 hit points to it. This healing is so immediate that the target doesn't have time to fall unconscious, fall prone or die.

You can use this ability twice before requiring a short or long rest to regain both uses.

Bound Demiplane

14th level Planar Scholar feature.

You create your very own demiplane, bordering the Material plane on one side and your chosen plane on another. This demiplane is a permanent place that you create with the freedom of a god. Everything from the smell of the air to the laws of physics in this space are whatever you want them to be. The only thing you cannot change here is the influence of the adjacent plane bleeding through, as described later. You cannot create intelligent life, but programmed illusions of creatures and people can inhabit your demiplane. Once created, changing things inside the demiplane again takes a total of 30 hours of spellwork that you must complete inside the plane. If you spend more than 10 hours working in the plane without taking a long rest, you gain a level of exhaustion, and additional levels of exhaustion for every 5 hours you work. Smaller, individual creations such as objects, plants or illusory creatures can be created, removed or changed as an action.

You can use an action to summon a closed portal to your demiplane that exists for 1 minute. While this portal exists, you can use an action to open it for 6 seconds, or until the end of your next turn, allowing travel into and out of the demiplane. The portal's size is decided by you when you summon it, and it can be tiny, small, medium, large, huge or gargantuan. Any creature or object that fits through the portal can travel through it while it remains open. Anywhere inside the demiplane, you can use an action to open a portal to the exact location where you last entered from. Once per long rest, you can open this exit portal to any location you know on any plane.

Anything created in this demiplane breaks apart into stardust outside of it. All objects brought into the demiplane get ejected out of it when the person who brought them in exits the plane. While inside your own demiplane, you can fly and can use your movement to instead teleport to any unoccupied space anywhere on the plane.

The DM can naturally set limitations or restrictions to this ability.

Aberrant Demiplane

Your Bound Demiplane connects to various points across the infinite void amidst the stars and is thus subject to its influence.

Your demiplane has an eternal night sky filled with awe-inspiring, multicoloured nebulae and star constellations. Gravity here is low, and anyone climbing or flying too high up runs the risk of simply floating away into the infinite void above.

If a sentient creature other than you spends an hour or longer inside your demiplane, they must roll (d4) on the following table of effects. This roll can only occur once every 24 hours. You can choose to roll on the table, but do not have to.

1. The creature's hearing is blown out by the vacuum of space. For 24 hours, the creature is Deafened. 
2. The creature forgets how to walk. Unless they are levitating or flying, their base speed is halved for the next 24 hours.
3. The creature gains the ability to levitate for 24 hours. They can hover up to 5 feet above any solid or liquid surface, and while hovering, difficult terrain has no effect on their movement speed.
4. The creature gains resistance to Psychic damage for the next 24 hours.

Abyssal Demiplane

Your Bound Demiplane is adjacent to the Abyss and as such, subject to its influence.

Areas you do not regularly visit within your demiplane tend to form bottomless cracks into terrifying darkness. Horrific insects crawl out of them and gigantic spider webs begin to spread from them. You must actively maintain whatever you create in your demiplane to avoid it turning into a dead, grey wasteland.

If a sentient creature other than you spends an hour or longer inside your demiplane, they must roll (d4) on the following table of effects. This roll can only occur once every 24 hours. You can choose to roll on the table, but do not have to.

1. The creature suffers the Frightened condition whenever any demons or insects are within their line of sight for the next 24 hours. Once every hour, the creature can attempt to beat a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw to become immune to this effect for one hour, after which the fear resumes.
2. The creature has disadvantage on saving throws against fear effects for the next 24 hours.
3. The creature has advantage on Survival checks for the next 24 hours.
4. The creature is immune to fear effects for the next 24 hours.

Celestial Demiplane

Your Bound Demiplane is adjacent to the Celestial planes and as such, subject to their influence.

Dirt and filth do not exist in your demiplane. Creatures who genuinely share your ideology, faith or philosophy feel warm and comfortable here, while everyone else feels judged and unwelcome, as if observed by some intolerant higher power.

If an intelligent creature spends an hour or longer inside your demiplane, they gain one of the following effects for the next 24 hours. These effects end early if the creature finishes a long rest outside of your demiplane, and can only be gained once every 24 hours.

1. If the creature feels comfortable here because they agree with one of your key ideologies, philosophies or share your religious faith, they gain 20 temporary hit points and advantage on Religion checks.
2. If the creature doesn't actively agree or disagree with your views or feels ambivalent about them, they gain 10 temporary hit points and disadvantage on Religion checks.
3. If the creature disagrees with your views, their maximum hit points are reduced by 10 (to a minimum of 1) and they gain a level of Exhaustion that can only be removed by finishing a long rest outside of your demiplane.

Elemental Demiplane

Your Bound Demiplane is adjacent to the Elemental planes and as such, subject to their influence.

Hundreds of tiny elementals of fire, water, air and earth manifest within your demiplane. They require open fires, flowing water, clouds and plenty of loose pebbles to be happy. If you provide these things generously in your creation, the elementals are friendly and curious about whatever you get up to within the plane. However, if you do not provide the elementals what they need, they will be hostile towards you, wreaking havoc by setting fires, causing floods, creating powerful winds and earthquakes, etc.

If an intelligent creature other than you spends an hour or longer inside your demiplane, they must roll (d4) on the following table of effects. This roll can only occur once every 24 hours. You can choose to roll on the table, but do not have to.

1. The creature is vulnerable to fire damage for the next 24 hours.
2. The creature is vulnerable to acid damage for the next 24 hours.
3. The creature has resistance to poison or acid damage for the next 24 hours. (Player's choice.)
4. The creature has resistance to either fire, cold, lightning or thunder damage for the next 24 hours. (Player's choice.)

Fey Demiplane

Your Bound Demiplane is adjacent to the realms of the Fey and as such, subject to their influence.

Every now and then, animals you don't remember creating can be spotted inside your demiplane. They appear suspiciously intelligent. These animals can be anything; wolves, bears, deer, squirrels, ravens, butterflies, etc.

If a sentient creature other than you spends an hour or longer inside your demiplane, they must roll (d4) on the following table of effects. This roll can only occur once every 24 hours. You can choose to roll on the table, but do not have to.

1. The creature forgets all names, including their own. After short and long rests, the creature can try to pass a DC 14 Intelligence check to remember the forgotten names.
2. The creature becomes pointlessly suspicious of the next object they see and must pass a DC 12 Intelligence check to shake this suspicion.
3. The creature can hear the thoughts of animals within 30 feet as if they were spoken in a language they know until they finish a long rest.
4. The creature gains advantage on Persuasion checks for the next 24 hours.

Infernal Demiplane

Your Bound Demiplane is adjacent to the Infernal realms and as such, subject to their influence.

Hellish fire is always present in your demiplane, no matter where you go inside it. It can be contained with braziers, fireplaces and candles, or allowed to spread freely. Looking too deeply into the flames makes it feel like something is looking back.

 If a sentient creature other than you spends an hour or longer inside your demiplane, they must roll (d4) on the following table of effects. This roll can only occur once every 24 hours. You can choose to roll on the table, but do not have to.

1. The creature has disadvantage on Wisdom saving throws for the next 24 hours.
2. The creature's Wisdom score decreases by 1 for the next 24 hours.
3. The creature's Wisdom and Charisma scores are increased by 1 for the next 24 hours.
4. The creature has advantage on Wisdom saving throws for the next 24 hours.

At the DM's discretion, Devils of varying status may occasionally visit your demiplane, each with their own agenda. Many of them are traders, trying to tempt you or your visitors with deals, often too good to be true. Some even sound reasonable, but you can never be too careful when dealing with devils.

Umbral Demiplane

Your Bound Demiplane is adjacent to the plane of shadow and as such, subject to its influence.

Light from any source only travels half as far in your demiplane. All colour fades away rapidly to shades of grey here, leaving only the most important and meaningful objects unaffected. This colourless effect lingers for an hour after exiting the plane.

If a sentient creature other than you spends an hour or longer inside your demiplane, they must roll (d4) on the following table of effects. This roll can only occur once every 24 hours. You can choose to roll on the table, but do not have to.

1. The creature's vision is obscured by malevolent shadow for the next 24 hours. They can see normally up to a distance of 60 feet, beyond which they can see only pitch black darkness.
