Strategist

A master of the flow of battle, the strategist rogue specializes in supporting comrades with his cunning plans and intelligent strategies.

 

Spellcasting

When you reach 3rd level, you gain the ability to cast spells. See Spells Rules for the general rules of spellcasting and the Spells Listing for the cleric spell list.

Cantrips

You learn three cantrips from the cleric spell list. You learn another cleric cantrip of your choice at 10th level.

Spell Slots

The Strategist Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your cleric spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

For example, if you know the 1st-level spell Bless and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast Bless using either slot.

Spells Known of 1st-Level and Higher

You know three 1st-level cleric spells of your choice, two of which you must choose from the enchantment and illusion spells on the cleric spell list.

The Spells Known column of the Strategist Spellcasting table shows when you learn more cleric spells of 1st level or higher. Each of these spells must be an enchantment or illusion spell of your choice, and must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 7th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.

The spells you learn at 8th, 14th, and 20th level can come from any school of magic.

Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the cleric spells you know with another spell of your choice from the cleric spell list. The new spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots, and it must be an enchantment or illusion spell, unless you’re replacing the spell you gained at 3rd, 8th, 14th, or 20th level from any school of magic.

Spellcasting Ability

Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your cleric spells, since you learn your spells through dedicated study and memorization. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a cleric spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Strategist Spellcasting

Focus Fire

When you hit a creature with an attack, you can mark them for 1 minute. While marked, allies gain a +2 on attack rolls against that creature. You can mark only one creature at a time, and applying a new mark removes an older mark that is still in effect. This mark can be placed a number of times up to your INT mod.

Backup Plan

At the start of combat, you and up to 5 allies of your choice within 30ft of you gain a bonus to their initiative rolls equal to your INT modifier.

Fool Proofing

When you give another creature the help action, you can forgo giving advantage and instead treat their d20 roll as a 19. You must do this before you see the roll. This feature can be used once per long rest.

Dual Mind

You may concentrate on up to 2 non damaging Abjuration and/or Divination spells simultaneously. Roll concentration saving throws for each spell individually.
