Shaman ¶

This is a transformation of the Hacker class and utilises other parts of 13th Net by Daniel Ries along with some powers written by myself.
A shaman interacts with the spirits that inhabit the world, even the spirits that power magical locations and items. Shamans empower their own actions with aspects of powerful spirits, use spiritual evocations to summon spirits to act for them, and can manipulate the energies that link between realms.

Overview ¶

Thematic choice: As a shaman, the spirits of the campaign world are important to your character, and interacting with them will be significant to your character’s story. What types of spirits there commonly are and how often, and by what means they are communicated with may be at least somewhat defined in the campaign setting. The default here is that there should be plenty of room for players to make choices and tell stories around the spirits that their own characters' powers rely on.
Play style: As a shaman, most of your power comes from spell casting. Your selection of spells and talents allow you to adjust whether you focus on aiding your allies, damaging your enemies, controlling the battlefield or a mixture thereof.
The aspect talents make for a lot of possible build combinations, and there can be a lot to consider. For a spirit themed caster with support options, you could choose the First Shaman aspect talent along with the Soul Mirror and Warded Soul talents. Choose the Spiritual Invocation feature and for spells, take Healing spirits, Wracking Spirits and Soul Siphon.
Ability Scores: Your primarily used attribute is Wisdom, which is the stat used in shaman spells. Constitution gives you more hit points and adds to your class Vitality score.
Backgrounds: Possible backgrounds include: Tribal shaman, spirit medium, echo of a fallen god, mountain whisperer, warden of the sacred pool, priest of divinity within.
Icons: How much does the spirit realm influence the temporal world? The core 13th Age book has suggestions for spirits acting on behalf of icons, and associations with the 13th Age community icons are given in each of the shaman class archetype talents below.

Spells ¶

Shamans’ spells channel the power of the spirits and draw down upon the fabric of the overworld and other realms. Shamanic spell casting often involves dancing, chanting and singing, although how your own shaman casts spells is up to you. As with other casters in 13th Age, you can change your spell selections at each full heal-up.

Gear ¶

How shamans present to the world is both a cultural and contextual consideration. A city born spirit medium to the nobility is going to look different to a tribal shaman who’s just rolled into town. To summarize commonalities: Light protection and light armaments, ritual components for common rites, and any other equipment appropriate to the character’s backgrounds.
Shamans start their first adventuring arc with an adventurer-tier healing potion, or gold piece equivalent. Whether this is significant, only time and the spirits will tell.

Shaman Armor ¶

Perhaps more than any other class, a shaman’s armor is an opportunity to exemplify ceremonial purpose over functional capability. Perhaps your character’s companions only realise it was the spirits that created the symbolic designs embossed into your armour when they also appear on the new set of leathers you put on.

Armor Type	Base AC	Atk Penalty
None	9	—
Light	10	—
Heavy	13	–2
Shield	+1	-1

Shaman Weapons ¶

The weapons of a shaman will usually reflect the weapons traditionally associated with their people, or those of the spirits they associate with. Shamans aren’t generally expected to be front line combatants, but a small axe or sturdy staff can be carried for when circumstances require.

	One-Handed	Two-Handed
Small	1d4 dagger	1d6 club
Light or Simple	1d6 mace, shortsword	1d8 staff
Heavy or Martial	1d8 longsword, flail (-2 atk)	1d10 (–2 atk) greatsword, polearm

	Thrown	Crossbow	Bow
Small	1d4 dagger	1d4 hand crossbow	—
Light or Simple	1d6 javelin, axe	1d6 light crossbow	1d6 (-1atk) shortbow
Heavy or Martial	—	1d8 (–3 atk) heavy crossbow	1d8 (–2 atk) longbow

Shaman Basic Attacks ¶

The shaman basic melee attack and shaman basic ranged attack are the weapon attacks you might use when you’re not casting a spell. Like most attacks, they require a standard action.
No-trigger attacks: When your shaman gets an opportunity attack or is granted a bonus attack action, that’s usually called out as a no-trigger attack. No-trigger attacks are exactly like your basic attacks but they can’t trigger or make use of your own powers. There are a few shaman powers that grant you a no-trigger attack, but you’re most likely to have to use no-trigger attack rules when you’ve been confused, hindered or are otherwise unable to use your spells.

Shaman Basic Melee Attack ¶

Melee attack; At-Will
Target: One enemy
Attack: Strength + Level vs. AC
Hit: Weapon + Strength damage
5th–7th level: Weapon + (Str mod × 2)
8th level: Weapon + (Str mod × 4) + 5
9th level: Weapon + (Str mod × 4) + 10
10th level: Weapon + (Str mod × 4) +15
Miss: Damage equal to your level

Shaman Basic Ranged Attack ¶

Ranged attack; At-Will
Target: One enemy
Attack: Dexterity + Level vs. AC
Hit: Weapon + Dexterity damage
5th–7th level: Weapon + (Dex mod × 2)
8th level: Weapon + (Dex mod × 4) + 5
9th level: Weapon + (Dex mod × 4) + 10
10th level: Weapon + (Dex mod × 4) +15
Miss: —

Class Features ¶

Aspect ¶

The spirit realms are inhabited with all manner of spirits, some of them are incredibly powerful. Some believe that the gods themselves are actually the most powerful spirits that exist. When powerful spirits act, their power ripples through the fabric of the spirit realm, sending reflections of themselves through it.
Shamans' deep connection to the spirit realms allow them to draw on the power left in the wake of these powerful spirits, giving them the ability to briefly empower their own actions.
At character creation, you gain a connection to a powerful spirit aspect, and this allows you to use a set of upgraded actions. Every upgraded action of that set can each be used once per battle.
Adventurer Feat: You can use any one of the upgraded actions of your aspect talent twice in a single battle each arc.

Hit Point Threshold ¶

Many shaman powers have a stronger effect when cast against enemies whose current hit point total is at or below a certain number, the hit point “threshold”. The number is as below.

1st Target with 34 hp or fewer
2nd Target with 40 hp or fewer
3rd Target with 52 hp or fewer
4th Target with 68 hp or fewer
5th Target with 80 hp or fewer
6th Target with 104 hp or fewer
7th Target with 136 hp or fewer
8th Target with 208 hp or fewer
9th Target with 268 hp or fewer
10th Target with 272 hp or fewer
11th Target with 320 hp or fewer
For higher levels, double the number 3 levels lower.

Vigor ¶

Multiple shaman powers refer to your vigor. At each level this is calculated by adding the hit point multiplier in the level progression chart and adding it to your Con modifier (5th: Con x 2; 8th: Con x 4). The vigor value calculation is included in the level progression chart.
Adventurer feat: While enemies outnumber you and your allies (counting a mob of mooks as a single enemy), your vigor is calculated as 1 point higher (5th: 2 points; 8th: 4 points).
Adventurer feat: Whilst there is at least one triple (or greater) strength enemy in a battle, your vigor is calculated as 1 point higher (5th: 2 points; 8th: 4 points).
Champion Feat (replaces Adv): You gain the benefit of both Adventurer feats.

Realm Channeling ¶

You channel the fabric of other worldly realms through your staff, wand or other implement, and can use this to power your magic.

Ritual Magic ¶

Shamans can cast their spells as rituals (see HH page 198). Getting the local spirits involved is a common part of shaman rituals. Some say it’s because the local spirits would get curious anyway, and getting them involved is better than risking them being disruptive.

Spirit Ally ¶

As a Shaman you have a close relationship with an allied spirit of another realm. In storytelling terms, you may have more close spirit relationships from your icon relationships, but it is the primary spirit ally which enables your Invocation power.

Invocation
Choose either Spiritual Invocation or Realmic Invocation.
Epic Feat: Your base invocation usage is now twice per battle.
Zenith Feat: Invocation can now be used at-will when the Escalation die is even.

Spiritual Invocation ¶

Once per battle make the following close-quarters attack as a move action:
Target: One nearby enemy
Attack: Wisdom + Level vs. MD
Hit: The next attack an ally makes against the target’s AC that hits, deals additional psychic damage equal to your Vigor.
Miss: Psychic damage equal to your level.
Special: If you wait until the escalation die is 2+ to use Spiritual Invocation, your ally’s attacks can be vs PD or MD.

Adventurer Feat: You don't take miss damage from attacks that target your MD.
Champion Feat: Once per arc when making an attack roll, you can target MD instead of AC or PD.

Realmic Invocation ¶

Once per battle make the following close-quarters attack as a move action:
Special: Roll a d10 to determine the damage type: 1-2 Acid, 3-4 Poison, 5-6 Fire, 7-8 Lightning, 9-10 Cold.
Target: One random nearby enemy
Attack: Wisdom + Level vs. PD
Hit: Damage of the determined type equal to your Vigor.
Miss: Damage of the determined type equal to your level.
For each point on the escalation die you can (choose up to 3):
Roll 2d20 for the attack roll and choose which result to use
Pick the target
Pick the damage type.
Adventurer Feat: For the duration of one battle each arc, before initiative is rolled, you can make your PD and MD be equal to the highest of either value.
Champion Feat: On a hit the target is also vulnerable to the next attack matching the damage type.

Spirit Dance ¶

For many shamans, dances and chanting are regular parts of their practices. Some Shaman spells include a Spirit Dance option that lets you use your move action (and possibly a quick action) for a slight additional effect when casting the spell.

Feats ¶

Foretelling ¶

Adventurer Feat: You can use Wisdom in place of Dexterity for determining your initiative modifier. Once per arc at the end of a quick rest, you can swap one of your unexpended spells for another spell of the same usage frequency.

Spirit Walker ¶

Champion Feat: You can use Wisdom in place of Dexterity for determining your Physical Defense value. You gain resist damage 16+ to one of the following damage types (choose one): Acid, cold, fire, lightning, poison, psychic or thunder.

One More Spell
Zenith Feat: You gain an additional shaman spell of your level.

Archetypes ¶

Select 1 Archetype talent.

You can use melee weapons as implements to cast spells.
Adventurer Feat: You gain an additional recovery.

Bound Spirit ¶

You have a bound spirit - a spirit companion which inhabits a small, non threatening object. It has its own personality, but is completely subservient to you and can never be separated from you. Your bound spirit is mostly useless in combat, but it does grant you two important benefits:

• Spirit Strike: Once per battle you can close your eyes and let your bound spirit aim an attack for you. Mechanically, this lets you ignore any penalties you would suffer to your attack. If you use Spirit Strike with a spell attack, you can choose for the effect to originate from your bound spirit.
• Meditative Companion: At the start of each arc, roll a normal save (11+). On a success, your bound spirit has gained a random bonus Shaman spell of your level that you didn’t already prepare. You can cast the spell, but if it involves an attack you must use your once per battle Spirit Strike with it. When you reach 7th level, the save becomes easy (6+).

Your bound spirit also has two perks: choose them wisely.

• It can speak fluently (otherwise it communicates telepathically only with you).
• It can magically empower the object it's bound to to fly around, manipulate objects, and access hard to reach locations.
• Once per battle as a free action it can deal psychic damage equal to your level plus the escalation die to an enemy engaged with you (5th level: ED x 2; 8th level : ED x 4).
• Once per arc it can grant you a bonus equal to your Wisdom modifier to any skill check. You can do this after seeing the skill check result.
• Once per arc it can let you reroll a failed save (not the Meditative Companion save).
• Once per arc it can scout the area. Roll a d20: on an 11+ you gain useful information about the area. On a 16+ you and your allies also gain +2 to your next initiative rolls. On a natural 20 you’re guaranteed an ambush for the next battle.

Adventurer Feat: Your bound spirit gains another perk.
Champion Feat: You can add your Wisdom modifier as a bonus to the Meditative Companion save.
Epic Feat: Once per battle you can have your bound spirit take a single standard action that you could have taken. But they can’t use it to attack or cast a spell.

Realm Stepper ¶

After you cast a spell that doesn’t target any enemies, you become Invisible until the end of the battle (or about 5 minutes). Your Realm Stepper invisibility ends immediately if you make an attack or if an enemy's attack hits you.
Adventurer Feat: When an enemy crits against you, you become invisible until the end of your next turn.
Champion Feat: When you make an attack while invisible, roll twice and keep the better result.
Epic Feat: When an enemy’s attack hits you, it only ends your Realm Stepper invisibility if their natural attack roll was even.

Resurgent Soul ¶

When you cast a spell on your turn that doesn’t target enemies, you can heal using a recovery as a quick action.
Warding Spirits is a 1st level spell for you, you always have prepared, and it doesn’t count towards your normal spell limit.
Adventurer Feat: Once per arc you gain an additional casting of Guardian Spirit after casting Warding Spirits.
Champion Feat: Your max recoveries increase by 2.
Epic Feat: The first time you heal each battle, add your Vigor to the hit points healed.

Seer ¶

When you cast a damage dealing shaman spell that targets MD, and the first attack roll is a natural 13+, add an additional target to the spell for half damage only, with no other effect and no miss damage.
Adventurer Feat: Deal normal miss damage (but no other effect) to missed targets added via Seer.
Champion Feat: Once per battle you can reroll an at-will attack roll. Keep the result you prefer.
Epic Feat: If the spell is at-will, targets added via Seer are added as normal targets.
Zenith Feat (replaces epic): All targets added via Seer are normal targets.

Soul Mirror ¶

Once per battle as an interrupt action when an attack hits (but doesn’t crit) you, make an attack against your attacker (Wisdom + level vs MD). If you hit, the triggering attack misses, and the attacker takes half damage (but no other effect) from their attack.
Adventurer Feat: Once per battle when an enemy misses you with an attack, deal your miss damage to that enemy.
Champion Feat: If your soul mirror attack hits, you gain a bonus to your next attack roll against the target equal to your number of Skulls. You can also use soul mirror when an attack hits one of your nearby allies
Epic Feat: You can use Soul Mirror twice per battle

Soul Taker ¶

Your attacks with spells have their crit range expanded by 1. Each time you crit with a spell, you heal hit points equal to your level.
Adventurer Feat: Your crit range with single target (or where one target is rolled) at-will spells increases by one.

Increase your shaman melee weapon die with staves one step. You gain a +1 bonus to AC when wielding a staff.

Champion Feat: Your AC increases by 1.
Epic Feat (Replaces Adv): Once per battle when you cast an at-will spell on your turn, you can follow it up with a no-trigger melee attack against a different target as a quick action on the same turn.

Warded Soul ¶

Whether the source is spiritual or realm related, your powers create a solid wall of energy between you and danger. The defence values of the shaman class increase by 1 each for you.
Adventurer Feat: Once per battle take no miss damage (or effect) when an enemy misses you.
Champion Feat: Once per battle you can heal using a recovery as a free action after being critically hit.
Epic Feat: Your Shaman class defenses increase by 1 each (again).
