The Oracle of Flame v2
The second Ascendant Oracle and one of the last three Oracles that were alive during the war of the Gods, this power has been in the hands of Naran Landau, The Oracle of Flame since nearly one thousand years before the Sundering. Bearing the burden of godhood has weighed heavily upon him, turning him into the jaded figure he is today. Despite his demeanor, Naran would give his life in an instant if it meant protecting Valakadyn and Vaka's last wish. Dubbed "The Fastest Creature on Valakadyn," Naran has spent the better part of his life learning how to better harness the raw power of fire, allowing him to propel himself at blistering speeds. His appearance while flying has led to the citizens of Valakadyn giving him the monikier of "The Firebird." At his top speed, he is capable of circling the planet in just over two hours; a testament to the raw power granted to the Oracles by Vaka, God of Wild Magic. Now, after the destruction of Newbiggin and the beginning of the Aetherscourge, the world relies on the Firebird more than ever as he has become one of the only efficient methods of delivering messages without magic or sea travel. Will he eventually meet the same fate as he did in the Dark Future? Or will he prevail alongside the Team of Many Things against all odds?
Oracle Features
The Oracle is a power system designed to work alongside your standard class, augmenting your main classes as you level up. Your Oracle Level starts at Level 1 when you become an Oracle, whether born with the power or gifted it. Generally, your Oracle Level corresponds to your Character Level, and you gain an Oracle Level by leveling up in your main class. If you become an Oracle above Level 1, your Oracle Level increases twice as fast as your character level until your Oracle Level matches your Character Level. If your character Ascends, your Oracle Level instantly increases to 20. As an Oracle, you are granted additional proficiencies, and the ability to cast spells. When playing a spellcaster class, such as Wizard, Sorcerer, Druid, Bard, or Cleric, you use the Oracle spellcasting rules. When playing a half-caster class, such as Warlock, Paladin, or Ranger, you use the Oracle spellcasting rules when casting Oracle spells, and your classes spellcasting rules when casting other spells. You gain the following features:Proficiencies
- Saving Throws: Constitution, Charisma
- Skills: Arcana, History, Religion
- Languages: You learn Primordial and Celestial when you become an Oracle.
Spellcasting
You are a divine vessel, granted power without your choice, selected by providence to wield powers that even you do not fully understand. See chapter 10 of the Player’s Handbook for the general rules of spellcasting and below for the divine spell list.Cantrips
At 1st level, you know two cantrips of your choice from any classes spell lists. You learn additional cantrips of your choice at higher levels as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Oracle table at the bottom of the class description.Spell Slots
The Oracle table shows how many spell slots you have in order to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher
You know two 1st level spells of your choice from any classes' spell list. Spells chosen must be of your element (see Oracle Powers and Damage Types), or pure aether general purpose spells, such as Shield, Counterspell, Dispel Magic, Antimagic Field, etc. The Spells Known column of the Oracle table shows when you learn more spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 3rd level, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level. Additionally, when you gain a level, you can choose to replace one of the spells you know and replace it with another spell from your spell lists, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.If you had told me we were taking down Mariposa, I'd've come a lot sooner. The things she's doing to those people.... When you call, I'll be there in a flash. I wouldn't miss kicking her ass if it's the last thing I do.
Power to Heal or Harm
In addition to the other spells you know at 1st level, you learn both the Cure Wounds spell and the Inflict Wounds spell.Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your Oracle spells, since you learn your spells through divine providence. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifierSpellcasting Focus
When you choose your Mystery at 1st level, arcane tattoos begin creeping up one of your arms (your choice), acting as a focus for your spells. As your Oracular powers grow, so to do the tattoos, granting you further abilities. At 20th level, the tattoos cover the entire chosen side of your body (minus the face). When an Oracle Ascends, their tattoos grow to encompass their entire body.Oracle Spells

Additionally, at your DMs discretion, you have access to an additional Oracular ability, the Oracle of the End. This power is an amalgamation of every other Oracle power, drawing Revelations from each at will. This power is incredibly strong when wielded correctly, and can quickly overpower all other subclasses available. Speak with your DM if you'd like to use this class. DM Note: This class is best played as an NPC that travels with the party, rather than by a player. Give this ability to a player at your discretion, but with the disclaimer that copied Revelations should be approved directly by you. Oracle Power TableYour choice grants you elemental abilities, elemental spells, and additional abilities called Revelations, which you gain every other level (2nd, 4th, 6th...).
