Evoker Tradition

You focus your study on magic that creates powerful elemental effects such as bitter cold, searing flame, rolling thunder, crackling lightning, and burning acid. Some Evokers find employment in military forces, serving as artillery to blast enemy armies from afar. Others use their spectacular power to protect the weak, while some seek their own gain as adventurers.

3rd Level: Evocation Savant

Choose two Evocation spells from the Arcane spell list, each of which must be no higher than level 2, and add them to your spellbook for free.

In addition, whenever you gain access to a new level of spells in this class, you can add one Evocation spell from the Arcane spell list to your spellbook for free.

3rd Level: Potent Cantrip

Your damaging cantrips affect even creatures that avoid the brunt of the effect. When you cast a cantrip at a creature and you miss with the attack roll or the target succeeds on a saving throw against the cantrip, the target takes half the cantrip’s damage (if any) but suffers no additional effect from the cantrip.

6th Level: Sculpt Spells

You can create pockets of relative safety within the effects of your evocations. When you cast an Evocation spell that affects other creatures that you can see, you can choose a number of them equal to 1 plus the spell’s level. The chosen creatures automatically succeed on their saving throws against the spell, and they take no damage if they would normally take half damage on a successful save.

10th Level: Empowered Evocation

Whenever you cast an Evocation spell from the Arcane spell list, you can add your Intelligence modifier to one damage roll of that spell.

14th Level: Overchannel

You can increase the power of your spells. When you cast an Arcane spell of levels 1–5 that deals damage, you can deal maximum damage with that spell on the turn you cast it.

The first time you do so, you suffer no adverse effect. If you use this feature again before you finish a Long Rest, you take 2d12 Necrotic damage for each level of the spell, immediately after you cast it. This damage ignores Resistance and Immunity.

Each time you use this feature again before finishing a Long Rest, the Necrotic damage per spell level increases by 1d12.
