Harbinger

The cosmos inspire wonders in humanity, but also terror. Any number of cosmic horrors and astronomical anomolies prowl the cosmos, things that could destroy humanity in an instant if they so desired. Some harbingers, instead of avoiding this topic, choose to study it instead and learn the mysteries that we were never meant to solve.

Starting at 6th level, you have seen so many horrible things that nothing sparks fear. You are immune to the frightened condition.

In addition, as an action you can share what you have seen with a creature within 5 feet. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or be frightened of you until the start of your next turn. A creature that succeeds its saving throw is immune to this effect for 24 hours.

Starting at 10th level, your nebulous aura grows in magnitude. Its range increases to 30 feet.

In addition, allies within your nebula may use a bonus action to take the Disengage or Hide action.

Starting at 14th level, you can unleash a burst of searing light. As an action, you can force creatures of your choice within 60 feet to make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. Creatures that fail their saving throw take 8d6 radiant damage and are blinded for 1 minute. Creatures that succeed take half as much damage and aren't blinded. A blinded creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

You can use this feature once, and regain the ability to do so on a long rest.

Blizzard harbingers control the chilled magics of snow and ice. Their magic can freeze their enemies solid. Blizzard harbingers are cold, calculating, and very unpersonable.

Starting at 6th level, the speed of the ice-cold wind you can summon increases significantly. Ranged attacks that target a point within or pass through your wind are made at disadvantage.

Starting at 10th level, the arctic winds you can summon drop in temperature and increase in velocity. Creatures that move into the wind for the first time or start their turn there must make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC or take 1d8 cold damage. A creature that succeeds on its saving throw takes half as much damage. A creature acclimated to a cold environment makes this saving throw at advantage.

In addition, the wind's range increases to 15 feet wide and 60 feet long or a 30 foot sphere.

Starting at 14th level, you can plunge the nearby area into an ice age. You may now use your Arctic Wind feature an unlimited number of times.

In addition, the damage of your Arctic Storm feature increases to 2d8 cold damage and creatures not acclimated to a cold environment make the saving throw against your Arctic Storm feature at disadvantage.

Among all harbingers, those of the disease focus are the most mysterious and unpersonable. Their magic is by far the most devestating, able to easily wipe out entire cities or even nations, even if it wouldn't seem as so at first glance.

Starting at 6th level, when you deal necrotic damage, the damage cannot be healed by magical or natural means until the affected creature finishes a long rest.

Starting at 14th level, You become a master of death itself and can drain the life out of your enemies. All creatures of your choice within 35 feet of you must make a Constitution saving throw.

A creature that succeeds its saving throw takes half as much damage and suffers no additional effects. You heal by a number of hit points equal to half the damage dealt. This feature does not affect constructs or undead.

You can use this feature once, and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.

Sometimes the gods wipe the world clean, using their divine power to destroy so that a new civilization can rise. Harbingers of this focus serve as arms of the gods' will in this regard. They can tap into powerful divine magic, something unique to their focus.

Starting at 6th level, your spells are increased in potency. You may add your Wisdom modifier to one damage roll of your cantrips.

Starting at 14th level, you learn to create the shock waves produced by meteorlogical impacts. As a reaction after taking damage, you can create a massive shock wave. The shock wave expands out from you in a circle to a distance of 30 feet forcing all creatures within range to make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. Creatures that fail their saving throw take 3d10 thunder damage and are pushed 15 feet away from you and knocked prone. Creatures that succeed their saving throw take half as much damage and don't suffer any additional effects. Unsecured objects are thrown by the shock wave 15 feet past the end of the wave's range. The shock wave is heard up to 1 mile away.

Storms of the sky and sea are part of the oldest legends of the apocalypse. These harbingers can take on the power of these legends, using water, wind, and lightning to destroy their foes.

Starting at 6th level, your lightning can arc to nearby targets. When you hit a creature with your Thunderbolts feature, you can choose a target within 10 feet of the original target. This second target must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC or take lightning damage of one size smaller than the initial bolt (1d8 to 1d6, 1d10 to 1d8, etc). The target makes this saving throw at disadvantage if they are wearing armor made of metal.

You can arc the lightning to additional creatures within 10 feet of the second target if the second target fails its saving throw. These creatures make the same saving throw or take lightning damage of decreasing damage each time. Once the arc deals 1d4 lightning damage, it cannot arc again.

An affected creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Harbingers of the volcanic focus draw upon fiery, volcanic magic. This magic is among the most uncontrollable of the harbinger foci, and unless a harbinger is careful they can easily destroy themselves.

Starting at 6th level, you can summon warriors to fight for you in battle. As an action, you can summon three soldiers who use the soldier stat block in the opposite column.
