Duelist he goblins are hot on their trail, bringing with them a swarm of green fury, until a smiling half-elf draws just the right card, and a blazing explosion sends the goblins reeling. A normally-quiet tiefling cackles maniacally as they sacrifice two of their beasts to form a mighty dragon that thunders against the sky. A frantic gnome shouts the words to a spell he’d been holding onto until just the right moment, providing just enough of a chance for his friends and himself to escape in the chaos. The Spell Deck Cards are a unique form of magic, bound, at least in theory, by the same magic as a spell scroll. However, when enough magic is condensed into one place, it begins taking on properties all its own. As such, the mighty spell deck was born. Only those keen enough (or foolish enough) to experiment with the power of these potent cards can wield their might properly. Manufactured Magic Duelists exist because a critical mass of magical knowledge or scrolls came to exist in the same area at the same time, allowing them to gain unique properties. As such, Duelists are able to do things with magic that other casters simply cannot. Springing traps and summoning creatures to fight for them with ease. Duelists tend to thrive when they utilize their powers in combination with teammates, but have just enough tricks up their sleeves to protect themselves in a pinch, allowing them to support their team from a bit closer, though the exact nature of their role in a party will vary with the cards in their collection. That said, it’s not very common to meet a duelist, especially in places where magic is either uncommon, or the idea of storing magic makes people uneasy. Creating a Duelist Duelists, due to the amount of time they spend studying magic, tend to be a bit off. That doesn’t meant that they’re neccessarily reclusive or have no sense of selfpreservation, but it takes a bit of guts to experiment with magical objects until you learn to wield them. Duelists also tend to have patrons or come from wealthy families, as both the cost to create a spell deck and the means to live comfortably while learning to use one are by no means cheap. That said, there’s nothing stopping a cunning urchin with an eye for valuable paper from scrounging a spell deck together. Someone with the wits to gather the cards would likely be intelligent enough to put them to good use. Mechanically, Duelists are full-casters with an array of abilities that make their spells unique. This means that trying to learn how to play as one all at once is a bad idea, as many of the rules aren’t likely to seem to fit together all at once. Rather, just take each ability and spell you get piecemeal, and experiment with them until you get a better grasp of what they really do. This can help you reflect the idea that your character is still figuring out what all of their spells can actually do. That said, once you get a better understanding of how to take advantage of the unique interactions your spells and abilities have, you’ll find that there’s a real powerhouse waiting to be unleashed! Just don’t lose your spell deck and manage your spell slots carefully, and soon, you’ll be a first rate Duelist with a first rate deck! Quick Build You can make a duelist quickly by following these suggestions. First, make Intelligence your highest ability score, followed by Dexterity. Second, choose the Noble or Sage background if you wish to be an affluent mage or the Urchin background if you wish to be a self-taught duelist. 3 ITEM WIZARD | DUELIST

Spellcasting Ability Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your Duelist 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 Duelist 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 Spellcasting Focus You can use a spell deck as your spellcasting focus for your Duelist spells. Collection At first level, you select what kind of spell cards make up the majority of your collection, determining the nature of your magic. Trap Cards Starting at second level, you’ve gained access to a crafty type of card which allows you to spring devious traps against your opponents once they are triggered. When you cast a spell using the Ready action, if the trigger for the Ready action does not occur, you regain a spell slot with a level equal to the spell slot you spent when you cast the spell. If you are attacked while you are concentrating on a spell cast with the Ready action, you may use the spell as though the trigger condition for the Ready action had been met, selecting the attacker as the target of the spell, so long as the attacker is a valid target for the spell. If you do, the trigger is considered to have occured. If you cast a spell with the Ready action and it requires a target to make a saving throw, you may subtract 1d4 from that creature’s saving throw. Monster Cards At third level, you learn how to properly wield the might of cards which summon powerful creatures to aid you. You learn the spells listed in the Monster Cards table at the corresponding Duelist level and when casting a spell from this table, it requires no material components. If you take damage while concentrating on a conjuration spell which summon exactly one creature, you have advantage on the concentration saving throw for that spell. When you cast the Find Familiar spell, you may ignore the material component cost and it has a casting time of 1 action. Monster Cards Duelist Level Spell Learned 3rd Summon Beast 5th Summon Shadowspawn 7th Summon Construct 9th Summon Draconic Spirit 11th Summon Fiend 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. Alternatively, you can choose a feat (see Chapter 6 of the Player’s Handbook for a list of feats). Magic Pack Starting at 10th level, you’ve learned how to create spell cards of your own, albiet they’re not as powerful as some of your best cards. After finishing a long rest, you may create a number of spell scrolls equal to your Intelligence modifier in the form of spell cards. These spell scrolls look obviously fake, must contain spells on your Duelist spell list, may only contain spells of level 1 or lower, and cease to exist at the end of your next long rest. When you reach 17th level, the scrolls may contain spells of level 2 or lower. Heart of Creation At 20th level, you discover how to imbue your power of creation into a card itself. After finishing a long rest, you may create a spell scroll in the form of a spell card. This spell scroll looks obviously fake, contains a spell of your choice, may only contain a spell of level 5th or lower, and ceases to exist at the end of your next long rest. 5 ITEM WIZARD | DUELIST

Collections Due to the bizzare nature of their creation and the fact that they can synergize so well, unique spell cards that are difficult to find can compltely warp how a Duelist uses the rest of their cards. This means that certain collections of cards can produce Duelists with wholly different kinds of magical abilities. Ancient Duelists that seek out the rare and ancient spells of old will find that many have been preserved throughout the ages. This means that they can often find forgotten or elder forms of more recognizable spells to empower their own magic. Ancient Spells Starting at 1st level, you learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Ancient Spells table. Each of these spells counts as a Duelist spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of Duelist spells you know. Ancient Spells Level Spell 1st Eldritch Blast, Chromatic Orb, Ice Knife 3rd Flaming Sphere , Melf’s Acid Arrow 5th Fireball, Summon Undead 7th Summon Abjuration, Ice Storm 9th Bigby’s Hand, Wall of Stone Improved Magical Critical At first level, you’ve gotten pretty good at getting your cards to pull off some amazing attacks. Your spell attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 19-20. Loyal Servant Starting at 6th level, if your hit points would be reduced to zero while you control a creature that you’ve summoned using a conjuration spell, you may end concentration on that spell to instead have your hit points reduced to the level of the spell you used to summon that creature. Proper Sequencing Starting at 14th level, you’ve learned how to sequence the useage of your cards to squeeze every last drop of power from your magic. Using a bonus action, you may sequence your cards properly. When you cast a leveled spell on a turn you have sequenced your cards properly, if that spell deals damage and does not require concentration, it deals 1 extra die of damage. Superior Magical Critical Starting at 18th level, you’ve found new ways to pull the greatest potential out of your cards. Your spell attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 18-20. When you get a critical hit on an enemy with a spell attack, you may forgo the extra damage dice to regain a spell slot equal to the one you used on the spell. 6 ITEM WIZARD | DUELIST

Ritual Duelists that seek to empower the monsters they command will sometimes find bizzare spells that allow them to transform the creatures into more powerful ones. But only those with tenacity truly discover the esoteric rituals that bring out their true power. Ritual Spells Starting at 1st level, you learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Ritual Spells table. Each of these spells counts as a Duelist spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of Duelist spells you know. Ritual Spells Level Spell 1st Shocking Grasp, Guiding Bolt, Unseen Servant 3rd Flock of Familiars , Misty Step 5th Gaseous Form, Summon Fey 7th Polymorph, Summon Elemental 9th Summon Celestial, Wall of Force Bound Spirit At first level, you’ve found a spirit within your spell cards!

The spirit has the following properties: The spirit remains for 10 minutes or until it moves more than 30 feet away from you. The spirit has 30 feet of darkvision. You can telepathically communicate with the spirit, which can read and speak Common, but it cannot take the Help action. The spirit cannot move through solid objects or interact with solid objects, has a fly speed of 30 feet, and is invisible, though it can be seen by creatures with Duelist levels, See Invisibility, or Truesight. Sacrificial Rites Starting at 6th level, your knowledge of dark rituals has made you an expert in pushing your monsters to their very limit. You may cast Polymerize without expending a spell slot. If you do, then creatures summoned with the Flock of Familiars are treated as though they were summoned with a 1st level spell slot. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. 7 ITEM WIZARD | DUELIST

Double Summon Starting at 14th level, you’ve learned a ritual which allows you to have not one, but two monsters at a time! If you are concentrating on exactly one spell which summons exactly one creature, you may cast a second spell which requires concentration and summons exactly one creature without losing concentration on either. If you take damage while you are concentrating on both spells, you must make a concentration saving throw for both spells. If you cast another spell which requires concentration while you are concentrating on these spells, you must end concentration on both spells. Super Polymerize Starting at 18th level, you’ve found a way to turn your opponent’s magic into your power. If counterspell is not on your Duelist spell list, add it to your Duelist spell list. It does not count against the number of Duelist spells you know. When you cast counterspell, you may also select 1 or more creatures you have summoned with a conjuration spell. Set those creatures’ hit points to zero. If you do, your counterspell cannot be affected by counterspell and you may cast a conjuration spell from your Duelist spell list which summons exactly 1 creature without expending a spell slot. The level at which the spell is cast is equal to the level of the spell negated plus the level of the spell used to summon each of those creatures. 8 ITEM WIZARD | DUELIST

Perfect Opening Starting at 6th level, you’ve learned to keep an eye out for the perfect moment, even in the midst of battle. When you use the Ready action to cast a spell, you cannot lose concentration on the spell until the trigger condition for the Ready action had been met.

Bonding Spells Starting at 1st level, you learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown on the Bonding Spells table.

As an action while you have your spell deck, you target a willing creature you can see within 100 feet of you and create a line of etherial blue light that links the target to you. The link lasts for 1 hour, until you use this feature to create another link, until the linked creature dies, or until the target ends its turn more than 100 feet from you. When you cast a spell with a range of self or a spell which can affect a single creature and you select yourself as a target, the effects of that spell apply to the linked creature while you are linked. If the spell would be ended by specific conditions, such as attacking, the spell ends if either you or the linked creature takes an action which would end the spell.

You may only cast this spell using the Ready action and its trigger must be that a creature makes a weapon attack against you. The creature that triggered this spell takes 1d12 Force damage. At Higher Levels. This spell’s damage increases by 1d12 when you reach 5th level (2d12), 11th level (3d12), and 17th level (4d12). Polymerize 2nd-level transmutation Casting Time: 1 action Range: 30 feet Components: V, S, M (a spell deck) Duration: Instantaneous You may only cast this spell if a creature in range that was summoned by you using the Find Familiar spell and a creature in range that was summoned by you using a spell other than the Find Familiar spell.

You may cast a conjuration spell on your spell list which requires concentration and summons exactly one creature without expending a spell slot, ignoring it’s material components cost. The level of the spell is equal to the combined levels of the spells used to summon the creatures you targeted with this spell (the maximum level of the spell slot is equal to the maximum level of spell you can cast, so if you can cast 4th level spells, then the maximum level is 4). All creatures summoned by the Find Familiar spell are treated as though they had been summoned with a 1st level spell slot. *Note: This spell treats creatures summoned by Flock of Familiars as though they had been summoned using Find Familiar, meaning they are treated as being summoned by a level 1 spell.

Additional Spells Index These spells are not in the Player’s Handbook, Xanathar’s Guide, or Tasha’s Couldron of Everything, and so have been provided for reference so that you don’t have to dig through several websites and books just to find the few spells that this class accesses outside of those books. The book they come from will be marked along with the spell so that you can find those books for reference purposes. Source: Lost Laboratory of Kwalish Flock of Familiars 2nd-level conjuration Casting Time: 1 minute Range: Touch Components: V, S Duration: Concentration, up to 1 hour You temporarily summon three familiars – spirits that take animal forms of your choice. Each familiar uses the same rules and options for a familiar conjured by the Find Familiar spell. All the familiars conjured by this spell must be the same type of creature (celestials, fey, or fiends; your choice). If you already have a familiar conjured by the Find Familiar spell or similar means, then one fewer familiars are conjured by this spell. Familiars summoned by this spell can telepathically communicate with you and share their visual or auditory senses while they are within 1 mile of you. When you cast a spell with a range of touch, one of the familiars conjured by this spell can deliver the spell, as normal. However, you can cast a touch spell through only one familiar per turn. At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, you conjure an additional familiar for each slot level above 2nd.

It manifests in an unoccupied space that you can see within range. This corporeal form uses the Draconic Spirit stat block. When you cast this spell, choose a family of dragon: chromatic, gem, or metallic. The creature resembles a dragon of the chosen family, which determines certain traits in its stat block. The creature disappears when it drops to 0 hit points or when the spell ends. The creature is an ally to you and your companions. In combat, the creature shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It obeys your verbal commands (no action required by you). If you don’t issue any, it takes the Dodge action and uses its move to avoid danger. At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, use the higher level wherever the spell’s level appears in the stat block.

Credits: Mechanics Credit I’m awful with names, but this is a thank you to everyone out there who played the original Void Master class and let me know what needed fixing. I hope that this class fixes any problems you had previously, even if it doesn’t quite have something akin to the Void Card mechanic. I remade a lot of this from the ground-up so that it would reflect more of what people liked without taking away everything that people loved. I, sadly, couldn’t do that without tweaking how the class worked and changing some of the mechanics. That said, I hope you like the changes and that this class proves to be fun for you all!
