  • Episode 4. The Rogue's Truthseeker Subclass: Deception's Downfall & Unveiling the Unseen
    Jun 25 2023

    Subclass Name: The Truthseeker

    Roleplayable Detailed Description: Truthseekers are the detectives, the inquisitors, the interrogators among the rogues. They have an uncanny ability to sense falsehood and seek the truth. They are often reserved, observant, and patient. Always watching and listening, they rarely accept anything at face value. Known for their analytical minds and keen intuition, they're also adept at piecing together clues and making sense of complex situations. In conversation, they're often tactful and insightful, steering discussions towards the truth they seek.

    Daily life of such a Rogue: A typical day in the life of a Truthseeker involves a lot of observation, research, and inquiry. They may be seen at a crime scene, carefully examining every detail, or perhaps in a tavern, listening attentively to the locals' gossip and discerning truth from rumor. They might spend hours in a library, engrossed in historical records and notes, trying to piece together a mystery. Above all, they are patient, knowing that truth often reveals itself in time and under scrutiny.

    Spells: Truthseekers do not traditionally cast spells. However, they develop certain ritual-like abilities over time that provide them with the magical means to uncover the truth. These abilities are not tied to spell slots and are instead used a specific number of times per long rest.

    3rd Level: Eyes of the Inquisitor:

    At 3rd level, you gain an uncanny sense for when people are hiding something. Whenever you make an Insight check to determine if a creature is lying, you add double your proficiency bonus to the check.

    3rd Level: Tongue of Truth:

    Also at 3rd level, you develop a specialized interrogation technique. After spending at least one minute in conversation with a creature, you can attempt to compel them to be truthful. The creature must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier). On a failed save, the creature is compelled to speak only the truth for the next 10 minutes. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

    9th Level: Mind Reader:

    At 9th level, your ability to find the truth improves further. By focusing your attention on a creature, you can pick up on subtle cues and hidden thoughts. As an action, you can attempt to read the surface thoughts of one creature you can see within 30 feet of you. The creature must make a Wisdom saving throw against your DC. On a failed save, you learn its surface thoughts, giving you insight into its emotional state and something that looms large in its mind. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

    13th Level: Veil Piercer:

    At 13th level, your pursuit of the truth allows you to see through illusions and resist mind-altering effects. You have advantage on saving throws against spells and effects that would deceive your senses or manipulate your mind, such as the illusion school of magic and enchantment spells like charm person or suggestion.

    17th Level: Master Inquisitor:

    At 17th level, your relentless pursuit of truth reaches its zenith. As an action, you can declare one creature you can see within 60 feet as your query. For the next hour, you gain several benefits:

    • You have advantage on Insight, Perception, and Investigation checks related to your query.
    • Your query has disadvantage on saving throws against your Tongue of Truth and Mind Reader features.
    • You can use your Tongue of Truth and Mind Reader features on your query without expending uses.

    Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

    Cleric Subclass Name: Emotion Domain Potential Gods for Reverence: The goddess Sune (Forgotten Realms), goddess of love and beauty; Hanali Celanil (Elven Pantheon), goddess of love, romance, beauty, and fine art; or a new deity that governs emotions and empathy. Emotion Domain clerics are attuned to the ebb and flow of emotions in themselves and others. They understand the power emotions hold and how they can be a source of unimaginable strength. These clerics are often empathetic, intuitive, and deeply connected with those around them. Many serve as mediators, counselors, or advisors, helping others navigate the turbulent waters of their feelings. Their divine magic helps soothe emotional wounds, calm discord, and inspire their allies. Domain Spells 1st Level: Charm Person, Heroism 3rd Level: Calm Emotions, Enthrall 5th Level: Beacon of Hope, Hypnotic Pattern 7th Level: Compulsion, Aura of Purity 9th Level: Dominate Person, Modify Memory When you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain proficiency in Insight and Persuasion. You also gain proficiency in one type of artisan's tools of your choice, commonly used to create gifts that express emotions (e.g., painter's supplies for painting portraits or landscapes imbued with emotion). Blessing of Empathy Also at 1st level, you can sense the emotional state of creatures around you. As an action, you can open your awareness to detect such forces. Until the end of your next turn, you know the emotional state of any creature within 60 feet of you that is not immune to being charmed. Channel Divinity: Emotional Surge Starting at 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to manipulate the emotions of others. As an action, you present your holy symbol, and each creature of your choice within 30 feet must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be affected by an emotion of your choice (joy, sadness, fear, anger, calm) for 1 minute. The effects vary with the chosen emotion and should be role-played accordingly. Emotional Shield Starting at 6th level, you can draw upon the emotions of those around you to create a protective shield. As a reaction when you or an ally within 30 feet is hit by an attack, you can grant a bonus to the target's AC equal to the number of creatures within 30 feet feeling a strong emotion (determined by the DM), potentially causing the attack to miss.
