Arcanist Specialization

At 2nd level, you choose a specialization to focus on as an Arcanist: Tactician, Summoner or Nymian Scholar, all detailed at the end of the class description. Your archetype choice grants you features at the 2nd, 6th, 10th and 14th level.  

Aetherial Ally

Beginning at 2nd level you learn to summon an aetherial creature to assist you in battle. The creature is friendly to you and your companions and obeys your commands. Depending on your selected archetype you are able to summon specific creatures. Tacticians are able to summon carbuncles, summoners are able to summon Egis and nymian scholars are able to summon Eos or Selene. Select the relevant stat block when summoning your aetherial ally. These summons use your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places.   Descriptions of your aetherial allies can be found alongside the provided stat blocks at the end of the class description.   In combat, your aetherial ally acts during your turn. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. You can also sacrifice one of your attacks when you take the Attack action to command the beast to take the Attack action. If you are incapacitated, the beast can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.   If your aetherial ally is reduced to 0 hit points, its body dissipates into a fog of magical energy which remains intact for one minute. You can use your action to touch it and expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher. Aetherial ally's body returns to life after 1 minute with all its hit points restored.   You summon your aetherial ally when you complete a long rest. At this time you can summon a different aetherial ally. The new summon appears in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you, and you choose its stat block. If you already have an aetherial ally from this feature, it vanishes when the new summon appears. The summon also vanishes if you die.  

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.  

Grand Design

Beginning at 18th level, the maximum number of tactics you may use before a rest increases by 2.  

According To Plan

Beginning at the 20th level, you recover half of your expended tactics uses when you roll for initiative.  

The Aetherial Ally

The Arcanist's most prized companion is the one they bring forth into the world. Through the use of grimoires and magical formulas, Acantists have learned how to bring forth a magical ally to fight alongside them. Depending on the area of study an Arcanist specializes in, they are able to summon different allies. A Tactician has learned to bring forth a carbuncle, a Summoner has learned to bring forth elemental egis, and a Nymian Scholar has learned to summon a special type of fey.  

Tactician's Carbuncles

Carbuncles are fox-like creatures with long rabbit like ears who are summoned by Tacticians as their stalwart allies. These creatures can come in a variety of colours based on the colours of gem stones, but their bodies are formed of materialized aether. The most common appearances of the carbuncles are Emerald and Topaz coloured. All carbuncles are based upon the summoning frame work of emerald and topaz, allowing variation in appearance but the functionality remains the same.

Scholar's Fey

Arcanists who take up the path of a Scholar are students of the ancient healing arts of Nym. These strategic healers who backed legions of marauders in the past. Alongside every skilled Scholar stood a whimsical and caring fey that assisted them in their healing practice.   Fey known as Eos sport long hair and pastel coloured clothing and wings, while Selene often kept their hair short and dressed in far more vibrant colours.   Despite their humanlike appearance, the Nymian Fey's bodies were formed of aether, but their memories and spirit lived with their scholar, remembering their past each time they were called forth.

Spellcasting

Level requirement and general description. See chapter 10 of the PHB for the general rules of spellcasting and the end of this document for the Arcanist spell list. Cantrips At 1st level, you know 3 cantrips of your choice from the Arcanist spell list. You learn additional Arcanist cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Arcanist table.  

Spellbook

At 1st level, you have a spellbook containing six 1st-level Arcanist spells of your choice. Your spellbook is the repository of the Arcanist Spells you know, except your Cantrips, which are fixed in your mind.  

Your Spellbook

The spells that You add to your spellbook as You gain levels reflect the arcane research You conduct on your own, as well as intellectual breakthroughs You have had about the nature of the multiverse. You might find other spells during your adventures. You could discover a spell recorded on a scroll in an evil wizard's chest, for example, or in a dusty tome in an ancient library.  

Copying a Spell into the Book

When You find a arcanist spell of 1st level or higher, You can add it to your spellbook if it is of a level for which You have spell slots and if You can spare the time to decipher and copy it. Copying a spell into your spellbook involves reproducing the basic form of the spell, then deciphering the unique system of notation used by the mage who wrote it. You must practice the spell until You understand the sounds or gestures required, then transcribe it into your spellbook using your own notation.   For each level of the spell, the process takes 2 hours and costs 50 gp. The cost represents material components You expend as You experiment with the spell to master it, as well as the fine inks You need to record it. Once You have spent this time and money, You can prepare the spell just like your other spells.  

Replacing the Book

You can copy a spell from your own spellbook into another book. For example, if You want to make a backup copy of your spellbook. This is just like copying a new spell into your spellbook, but faster and easier, since You understand your own notation and already know how to cast the spell. You need spend only 1 hour and 10 gp for each level of the copied spell. If You lose your spellbook, You can use the same procedure to transcribe the spells that You have prepared into a new spellbook. Filling out the remainder of your spellbook requires You to find new spells to do so, as normal. For this reason, many mages keep backup spellbooks in a safe place.  

The Book's Appearance

Your spellbook is a unique compilation of spells, with its own decorative flourishes and margin notes. It might be a plain, functional leather volume that You received as a gift from your master, a finely bound gold-edged tome you found in an ancient library, or even a loose collection of notes scrounged together.  

Preparing and Casting Spells

The Arcanist table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your 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. You prepare the list of arcanist spells that are available for you to cast.   To do so, choose a number of arcanist spells from your spellbook equal to your Intelligence modifier + your arcanist level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.   For example, if you're a 3rd-level arcanist, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With an lntelligence of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination, chosen from your spellbook. If you prepare the 1st-level spell magic missile, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot.   Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells. You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of arcanist spells requires time spent studying your spellbook and memorizing the incantations and gestures you must make to cast the spell: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.  

Spellcasting Ability

Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your Arcanist spells. 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 Arcanist 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  

Ritual Casting

You can cast any Arcanist spell you know as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag.  

Spellcasting Focus

You can use a magical grimoire, tome or other similar equipment as an arcane focus (found in chapter 5 of the player's handbook) for your Arcanist spells.  

Learning Spells of 1st Level and Higher

Each time you gain an Arcanist level, you can add two Arcanist Spells of your choice to your Spellbook for free. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots, as shown on the Arcanist table. On your adventures, you might find other spells you can add to your spellbook (see "Your Spellbook").
