Discordant

Overview & Creation

Like the mix of a monk and a wizard. A discordant is a magic user that gets up in the faces of their opponents. Most of their magic relies on dexterity, because they cast magic through body movements as if it were a language. They learn the language from a very powerful entity, as a discordant you now serve that deity or owe it a debt.   Discordants use discord points to do extra things. Discordants can only cast a learned spell once per long rest. However they can spend discord points equivalent to the spells level to use it again. For example a 9th level spell would cost 9 discord points. A level 1 discordant starts with 1d4 discord points. As you level up your maximum increases equivalent to your dex modifier -2, you must gain at least one point per level.   A discordant can only have a maximum of 4 memorized spells per spell level at a time. The spells can be traded out after a long rest
