As an action, you can touch a creature and draw

to that creature, up to the amount remaining in your
pool. The amount healed is subtracted from your

Unicorn Charge

3rd-level Unicorn Knight feature
You can charge towards an opponent with a weapon
poised to strike in a manner similar to a unicorn. If
you move at least 20 feet towards a target and then
hit it with a melee weapon attack on the same turn,
the target takes an extra 1d10 damage. This feature
can only be used once per round. When you reach
11th level in this class, the extra damage increases
to 2d10.

Shimmering Shield

7th-level Unicorn Knight feature
At the end of your turn or the turn of another
creature, you can use your reaction to summon a
shimmering, magical field around yourself or another
creature you can see within 60 feet. The next attack
against the target suffers disadvantage.

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.

Unicorn Gallop

11th-level Unicorn Knight feature
Your walking speed increases by 10 feet, and
opportunity attacks against you suffer disadvantage.

Teleport

15th-level Unicorn Knight feature
You have been blessed by the horn of a unicorn. You
can harness that blessing to cast the teleport spell.
You must finish a long rest before you can use this

Legacy of the Ooze Lords

The Plane of Ooze sits at the junction between the
Inner Planes of Water and Earth. It is a stinking
morass stretching into infinity aptly known as the
Swamp of Oblivion, but beneath its mucky surface
hides a wealth of buried secrets and treasure. An
orc wizard sought to uncover those secrets, and in
the process became the first of the Ooze Lords to
dig through and dredge up the power of the Plane of
Ooze.

Ultimately, the Ooze Lords in their vast stinking
city were swallowed whole by the swamp, but not
before their influence was spread out across the
planes. Several Ooze Lords uncovered ancient
power in the Swamp of Oblivion, and then used that
power to establish bases elsewhere in the multiverse.
They often experimented upon “lesser” creatures
in horrific attempts to master previously lost arcane
practices, and the results were often left to wander
on their own. Some of these produced spontaneous
ooze magic reminiscent of the Ooze Lords’ own

Hero Blood

In a time long passed into distant memory, the
titans and gods that dwelled upon the fabled Mount
Olympus meddled in the affairs of the Material Plane
on a regular basis. They birthed and sired multiple
children, each possessing a portion of their godly
lineage, and they in turn passed it to their children.
Ancient legends and tales call these descendants
demigods but most refer to them as simple heroes.

Your bloodline traces back to these powerful
beings descended from the gods of Mount Olympus,
or other places where powerful deities dealt directly
in the lives of mortals on the Material Plane. The
same power that infuses your magic gives you an
advantage in areas normally reserved for the strong

warrior.

water itself is at the beck and call of the School of
Hydromancy. Summoning and stealing water are all

School of Nomomancy. Magic is a powerful force
that obeys its own set of ubiquitous laws. The School
of Nomomancy seeks to understand those laws, and
by doing so they learn to manipulate magic in new
ways.

School of Oneiromancy. The Plane of Dreams

Geomancers are wizards who study and learn to

towards solitude, living in caves or deep below
ground, surrounded by the comforts of stones and
rocks. They are skilled at manipulating earth to
do their bidding, including creating powerful sand
storms and tremors to knock opponents off of their
feet. The dao genies of the Plane of Earth view
geomancers as magical thieves seeking to claim
ownership over a power they do not own, and most
