Channeler

At 1st level, you can sense the reverberations magic leaves in the air. By spending your action concentrating on an object that you touch, you can make an Intelligence check to determine if the object is under the effect of magic or if it is within the area of any spells (DC equals 10 + the spell's level). You learn the school of magic, if any. If the object is a magic item, you feel an intense amount of energy, but can't directly determine the type of item, or its properties.

At 1st level, you embrace a portal key, an object which allows you to manipulate planar energies. This key is likely not a key at all; rather, it is a specific object that reflects your strengths, weaknesses, and destiny. Channelers who choose similar keys make natural allies and form close confederations, called Planar Orders, to practice and share knowledge. Orders range from the mundane to the deeply esoteric, with variations as diverse as the multiverse itself.

With your portal key in hand, you can open certain planar portals (at the GMs discretion) without the normal portal key.

Your choice in planar order grants you features at 1st level, and additional features at 7th, 10th, and 15th level.

At 2nd level, you adopt a style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can't take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.

By 2nd level, you have mastered the art of channeling spells through your weapon strikes. When you make a spell attack against a creature within your reach while holding a melee weapon that isn't heavy, you can use your bonus action to substitute the spell attack with a melee weapon attack. On a hit, the attack deals normal damage, in addition to the effects of the spell.

Starting at 5th level, or when you gain a feature such as Extra Attack that allows you to make more than one attack when you take the Attack action, this ability improves. When you use this ability to substitute a spell attack roll, you can make a second melee attack against a different target within your reach. The effects of the spell are only triggered on the first hit.

Starting at 2nd level, by evoking your connection to the planes through your portal key, you can channel raw power from the multiverse, and cast spells in turn.

Beginning at 3rd level, you can narrow your focus to channel energy from a particular part of the multiverse. You can use your bonus action to begin or end a planar focus. Once on each of your turns, you can switch your active focus. You maintain this effect as if concentrating on a spell. You have the following four focus options:

When you reach 4th level you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

If your DM allows the use of feats, you may instead take a feat.

Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

At 6th level, you have learned to tap into the Void between planes. When you see a creature within 60 feet of you casting a spell of 5th level or lower, you can use your reaction to produce a field of opposing magic, nullifying the effect. You expend a number of arcana points equal to the spell's point cost, as shown in the Arcana Point Cost table (or 1 point for a cantrip.) The spell then fails and has no effect.

At 7th level, you gain a feature granted by your Planar Order.

When you reach 8th level you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

If your DM allows the use of feats, you may instead take a feat.

At 10th level, you gain a feature granted by your Planar Order.

Starting at 11th level, you can make two melee weapon attacks, instead of one, when you use Spell Channeling to substitute a spell attack roll. In addition, you can still make another melee attack against a different target within your reach that you have not already attacked. The effects of the spell are only triggered on the first hit.

Alternatively, if you cast a spell which requires more than one spell attack roll, you can use Spell Channeling to replace two spell attacks with melee weapon attacks, dealing damage as normal, in addition to the effects of the spell.

When you reach 12th level you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

If your DM allows the use of feats, you may instead take a feat.

Starting at 14th level, you gain the following Planar Focus options:

At 15th level, you gain a feature granted by your Planar Order.

When you reach 16th level you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

If your DM allows the use of feats, you may instead take a feat.

Starting at 18th level, you can freely walk the planes. You can cast the plane shift spell, targeting only yourself, without using a spell slot or spell components.

Once you use this ability, you must finish a long rest before using it again.

When you reach 19th level you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

If your DM allows the use of feats, you may instead take a feat.

At 20th level, you connect with the central nexus of all existence. When you roll initiative and have no arcana points remaining, you immediately regain 10 arcana points.
