Base Class: Wizard
The Wizards hailing from the school of poison are in nature a unorthodox and vicious bunch, causing long lasting pain and damage to a creatures body instead of putting it out of its misery. The Schools of Poison can usually be found near the lairs of green dragons where they work in tandem to harvest its deadly breathe spray in order to learn new ways of poisoning creatures.
As a Poison Wizard you will be focusing on inflicting lasting poisons on multiple targets for the best damage results, single entities can be struck by extremely potent poisons to ware them down quickly, although this isn't a feat to be often used.
Poison Savant
At 2nd level, Cantrips you cast that deal damage deal 1d4 extra poison damage as you weave poisonous materials into the magic. This damage is increased to 2d4 at level 6, 3d4 at level 10 and 4d4 at level 15
Additionally these spells are added to your spell book; Ray of Sickness, Cloudkill, Poison Spray, Chromatic Orb (It has been cracked to produce only poison)
Poison Touch
At level 2, you can corrupt your skin to throb with deadly poisons, you can make a unarmed melee attack against a creature, on a successful hit the creature must make a DC 16 Constitution saving throw, taking 2d4 poison damage and becoming Poisoned on a failure, they take half damage on a success and resist the poison. When the creature is poisoned they must make 2 successful Constitution saving throws in order to shrug off the poison, they may make one at the end of each of their turns.
Deadly Poisons
At level 6, you have become so used to the poisons that are at your disposal that you have gained Immunity to Poisons, on the flip side, your poisons have now become unique and deadly that targets who are resistant to poisons take damage as normal and immune targets to your poisons are now classed as just resistant.
Necrosis Poison
At level 10, you have developed a particularly devastating poison that can bring down the strongest of beasts and kill the average man. As an Action you may target a single creature within 60 ft, they must make a DC 18 Constitution saving throw, taking 4d8 Poison damage and 2d6 necrotic damage and becoming poisoned on a failure, taking half damage on a success and resisting the poison. Poisoned creatures from this effect cause the target to take 1d6 poison and 1d6 necrotic damage at the start of the their turn, they must make 3 successful constitution saving throws to shrug off this poison, one save at the end of each of their turns.
You can use this feature twice, regaining uses after a Short or Long rest.
Green Dragons Breathe
At Level 14, you have mastered the most difficult art of the School of Poison, the ability to use the majestic Green Dragons breathe weapons as your own, causing a horrible Poison Spray from your mouth. As an Action you can exhale poisonous gas in a 30--foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 18 Constitution saving throw, taking 10d6 poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
You can use this feature twice, regaining uses after a Short or Long rest.
Additionally you can as a bonus action cause a target to have disadvantage on their next save against your poison based attacks.
You can use this additional feature thrice, regaining uses after a Short or Long rest.

Posted Nov 21, 2018Cheers dude, I've made quite a few things now on here including monsters, have to put making more on hold though as running a mini campaign for my friend which involves a standard hideout that leads to who he thinks is the captive being a doppelganger, which leads to a bunch of stuff, Cannibal Doppelgangers at that. Duality of man was really interesting to make given the duel form thing.

Posted Nov 21, 2018Yeah, no problem, I'm glad to be of any help at all. Oh, also, I want to say that I've seen some of your other stuff and they are really freaking cool. My favorite is the Duality of Man, that was rad.

Posted Nov 21, 2018it is very potent, twice might of been more balanced. As a heavy damage based class with not much utility i just want them to have a Good damage AoE to use, You can always drop the uses in a game using it, with access to a 7th level spell that has no chances to do half damage 10d6 isn't the most damage and 18 con save isn't massive vs a high level single monster, i agree with you it is slightly too strong. Poison is the most resistant form of damage, a ton of creatures have it, wanted to give it something that would mitigate this, otherwise you would be basically useless vs a lot of things. Thanks for the input dude, a lot of people don't comment and it makes things hard to explain haha

Posted Nov 21, 2018This is really cool, but my only concern is the final ability is very potent. I feel like twice per short/long rest is way too much, I feel like it would be draining for the wizard to do this once a per long rest, let alone twice per short rest. Also, I feel like having the secondary effect is very excessive, but that is just my opinion and besides that, I think this is really cool.
