Chapter 1: Arcanist Archetypes
The Complete Arcanist Handbook begins with Magnetic Presence
a focus on the kinds of heroes it was written for: Beginning at 6th level, you learn special techniques
bards, sorcerers, warlocks, and wizards. Here you’ll that allow you to draw the attention of others:

settlement they visit.
While near universally beloved by the common
folk and community leaders, actors are regarded
with some contempt by bards of other colleges, who
see actors as attention-seeking narcissists who are
either unwilling or unable to share the stage. An
actor who arrives in a town where another bard is
performing is often in for some not-so-good-natured
competition.
Method Actor
Starting when you join the College of Drama at
3rd level, you gain proficiency in the Performance
skill and with disguise kits, and you can use your
voice as a spellcasting focus for your bard spells.
Any spell you cast using your voice as a spellcasting
focus gains a verbal component if it doesn’t already
have one.
Additionally, you can perfectly mimic the
voice, speech, and mannerisms of any creature
you’ve observed and heard speak for at
least 1 minute.
Starring Role
Also at 3rd level, whenever you make an
ability check, attack roll, or saving throw,
you can expend one use of your Bardic
Inspiration to roll your Bardic Inspiration
die and add it to the result. You can choose to
do so after you roll, but before the DM tells you
whether you succeed or fail.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again
until you finish a short or long rest.

additional die result is equal to or higher than the
Bardic Inspiration die, add the result of both dice to
the roll and the creature gains temporary hit points
equal to the total of both dice. In either case, the
Bardic Inspiration die is lost.
Pocket Ace
At 6th level, when you complete a long rest, roll
a die of the same type as your Bardic Inspiration
die (a d8 if your Bardic Inspiration die is a d8, for
example) and record the result as your pocket
ace. After a creature you inspired rolls a Bardic
Inspiration die, but before they choose to use your
Push Your Luck feature, you can exchange the
results of their Bardic Inspiration die with your
pocket ace. When you do, the Bardic Inspiration
die result becomes your new pocket ace. You
must choose to replace the result before the DM
announces if the roll succeeds or fails.
In addition, you can expend your pocket ace at any
time to add its result to one of your own attack rolls,
ability checks, or saving throws.
High Roller
At 14th level, when a creature with one of your
Bardic Inspiration dice makes an ability check,
attack roll, or saving throw and rolls a 20 on the
d20, you regain one expended use of your Bardic
Inspiration feature. When a creature with one of
your Bardic Inspiration dice makes an ability check,
attack roll, or saving throw, and rolls a 1 on the d20,
that creature can expend the Bardic Inspiration die
to roll the d20 again and must use the new result.

Additionally, you can ignore your Bardic
Inspiration’s requirement that a creature must be
able to hear you as long as it can see you, and you
can ignore the verbal components of your bard
spells. If a bard spell you cast would normally
require you to speak for its effect, such as the
suggestion spell, a target can still be affected by the
spell as long as it can see you, it speaks at least one
language, and you add a somatic component to the
spell in the form of gestures, facial expressions, and
body language.
Pantomime Tricks
Also at 3rd level, you learn pantomime tricks that
are given substance by your bardic magic. You learn
two pantomime tricks of your choice, which are
detailed below. You learn one additional trick of your
choice at 6th and 14th level. Each time you gain a
level in this class, you can replace one pantomime
trick you know with a different one.
Some of your pantomime tricks require your
target to make a saving throw to resist the trick’s
effects. The saving throw DC is equal to your
spell save DC.

At 14th level, you learn the speak with plants spell.
It is a sorcerer spell for you, but it doesn’t count
against your number of sorcerer spells known.
Additionally, you can use an action and spend 3
sorcery points to cast the speak with plants spell.
When you cast the spell in this way, moving through
difficult terrain does not cost you extra movement
for the duration of the spell.

Starting at 18th level, you can use a bonus action
on each of your turns to convert vitality into sorcery
points. When you do, reduce your current hit points
by 6 and regain 1 expended sorcery point.

Soul of Endurance
Starting at 1st level, your body and soul sing when
you are engaged in battle, granting you immense
resilience. You gain the following benefits:
• While you wear no armor or you are under the
effects of the mage armor spell, you can use your
Charisma modifier, instead of your Dexterity
modifier, to calculate your Armor Class. You can
use a shield and still gain this benefit.
• Whenever you would take damage while you are
conscious and within 5 feet of a hostile creature,
you reduce the amount of damage you take by 1.
The reduction increases when you reach certain
levels in this class, increasing to 2 at 5th level, 3 at
10th level, 4 at 15th level, and 5 at 20th level.
Martial Inheritance
Also starting at 1st level, you are supernaturally
talented with martial implements. You are proficient
with all melee weapons and with shields.
When you reach 2nd level in this class, you can
spend 1 sorcery point as a bonus action to make
a weapon you’re holding a conduit for your magic
for 10 minutes or until it leaves your hand. For the
duration, you can use the weapon as a spellcasting
focus for your sorcerer spells, and it is considered
magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance
and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.
War Magic
Beginning at 6th level, when you use your action to
cast a cantrip, you can make one weapon attack as a
bonus action.
Once you reach 14th level in this class, when you
use your action to cast a spell, you can make one

At 1st level, you can choose to use Intelligence,
instead of Charisma, as your warlock spellcasting
ability. If you choose to use Intelligence, all warlock
features and Eldritch Invocations that reference
your Charisma modifier use your Intelligence
modifier instead. You must make this choice when

Additionally, you learn the detect magic and

Also starting at 1st level, your patron allows you to
siphon off their excess reserves of magical power.
As an action, you can regain one of your expended
warlock spell slots. Once you use this feature, you
must finish a long rest before you can use it again.
Eldritch Efficiency
At 6th level, your patron teaches you how to use
your reserves of magical power with greater finesse.
As a bonus action, you expend one of your warlock
spell slots to gain a number of lower-level warlock

When you cast a warlock spell, you can choose
a willing member of your coven within 120 feet.
That member of your coven can use their reaction
to deliver the spell as if they had cast the spell,
targeting themself if the range of the spell is Self.
If the spell requires an attack roll or saving throw,
it uses your spell attack or spell save DC. If the
spell requires concentration, you must maintain
concentration on the spell.
If you perform the ritual again, the bonds of your
previous coven are destroyed.
Mother Tongue
At 1st level, you have the ability to comprehend and
verbally communicate with hags and members of
your coven even if you don’t share a language.
Bond of Blood
At 6th level, when you deliver a spell that causes a
creature to regain hit points or that deals damage
through a member of your coven, that creature can
choose to sacrifice their own lifeblood to empower
the spell. When they do, the creature rolls and
expends a Hit Die, adding the result to the hit points

The Great Trickster
You have pledged your allegiance to a spirit
of mischief who delights in misdirection and
misappropriation. Despite an irredeemable
reputation, such patrons are not necessarily evil or
even selfish. Some tricksters use pranks to teach
others important moral lessons or commit lesser
wrongs to serve the greater good. Most, however,
are motivated primarily by their own entertainment
and self-satisfaction. And selfishness. Beings of this
sort include Anansi, Eshu, Huehuecoyotl, Loki, Pan,
and Sun Wukong.
Spellswipe
Starting at 1st level, as a reaction when you see a
creature within 60 feet of you cast a spell, you can
expend a spell slot to try to steal the spell. If the
spell slot you expended was equal to or higher than
the spell slot the creature used to cast the spell,
its spell fails and instead produces a momentary
harmless sensory effect of your choosing.
In addition, you can add the spell to your spell
vault. You can have a number of spells in your spell
vault equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1).
If adding a new spell to your spell vault would cause
you to exceed this maximum, choose one spell from
your spell vault to lose. All spells in your spell vault
count as warlock spells you know, and don’t count
against your warlock spells known.
As a final benefit of this feature, you can cast a
spell from your spell vault without expending a spell
slot. When you do, you lose the spell from your spell
vault immediately after you cast it. Once you cast a
spell this way, you must finish a long rest before you
can do so again.

You can transform one magic pair of footwear,
such as boots of striding and springing, into your
pact boots by performing a special ritual while
you hold or wear the footwear. You perform the
ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done
during a short rest. You can then dismiss the magic
footwear, shunting it into an extradimensional
space, and it appears whenever you create your
pact boots thereafter. You can’t affect an artifact or

Conspiracy of One
At 10th level, you have learned to trust no one but
yourself. That would pose a problem for the agents
of the Grey Guild except that they learn to form a
conspiracy of one. As an action, you can expend
a spell slot to create a number of conspirators
equal to the level of the spell slot expended. Each
conspirator appears in its own unoccupied space

Conspirators are indistinguishable from one

School of Fundamentals
The School of Fundamentals is comprised of
wizards who believe that the greatest mages are
those who have mastered the foundations. While
other schools delve into study of a particular type of
spell, you have focused your efforts on the building
blocks of spellcasting: cantrips. Detractors of this
school mock the fundamentalists as those who
waste their time with the minutiae of spells that the
most inexperienced of apprentices could cast. You
know, however, that the ability to cast a spell shares
little in common with the mastery required to cast it
with precision and potency.
As a fundamentalist wizard, you give cantrips the
respect that is their due, studying their every detail
and fine tuning every aspect of their components
as though they are 9th-level spells. You add them to
your spellbook and prepare them like other wizards
would only with their leveled spells, knowing that
the perfection of these seemingly rudimentary
techniques will lead to greater heights than the
other schools could ever imagine.
Cantrip Savant
Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level,
you can copy cantrips into your spellbook in a
similar manner to copying spells of 1st level and
higher. When you find a wizard cantrip, you can
add it into your spellbook by spending 2 hours and
50 gp. The cost represents material components
you expend as you experiment with the cantrip
to master it, as well as the fine inks you need to
record it.
The three wizard cantrips you know from your
