Earthfeeler (5e Class)
Earthfeeler
A young dwarf throws a dagger made from stone to defend from the orcs. A human leads her team through a cavern of a million turns with her earthen magic. An elderly group of men and women focus their energy to create a stone giant around them, finally resting as the giant hides their secrets. These are the Earthfeelers.
Earthen Warriors
You've become so attuned to the element of earth that it has become a part of you. Such a powerful force inside your body and mind, it's almost too much to handle. You work hard to keep it under control, but it always appears effortless. You know everything about the Earthen magic and the skill that goes into molding it from the gods, and you also know that you've been chosen by the element to carry out its missions.
Creating an Earthfeeler
You're holding a massive amount of energy inside you, that much is given. But were you taught to control it, or did you learn alone? Do you have many trusted friends to help out with it, or do you feel alone? And what about the power inside you? Does it come from within or the world outside? How did you come into contact with the Earthen element?

Spellcasting
At 1st level, your connection with the natural earth empowers you and allows you to take advantage of its magic.
- Cantrips
At 1st level, you know three cantrips from the Earthfeeler Spell List. You learn additional cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the earthfeeler table.
- Casting Spells
The earthfeeler table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a spell slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
- Learning Spells of 1st Level and Higher
Each time you gain access to a new level of spell, you learn a single spell chosen from the druid or Earthfeeler Spell List of the appropriate level.
- Spellcasting Ability
You use Strength as your spellcasting ability for your earthfeeler spells, since the power of your spells relies on your ability to project your will into the earth and manipulate it. You use your Strength whenever a spell calls for your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Strength modifier when setting the saving throw DC for an earthfeeler spell cast and for setting an attack roll for one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier
- Spellcasting Focus
You can use an Arcane Focus as a spellcasting focus (See PH page 150) for your mage spells.
Geo Location
You can always tell where you are because you feel with the earth itself. Starting 2nd level, you cannot become lost except by magical means on land. This effect does not extend to air or water travel.
Ability Score Increase
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 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.
Granite Armor
At 6th level, you can use the stones around you to make another layer of armor, giving yourself +5 bonus to AC for 1 minute.
Stone Shape
At 7th level, you are able to cast the spell stone shape without spend a spell slot and without material components. You can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest. You can use this feature twice between long rests starting at 14th level
Meteor Bomb
Starting at 9th level, you are able to call stones from the heavens. Meteors crash down in a point you can see within 60 feet, and all creatures in a 10-foot radius must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC, or take 1d10 bludgeoning damage plus 1d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. You can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.
You can use this feature twice between long rests starting at 13th level and three times between long rests starting at 17th level.
Stone Strike
Starting at 10th level, you can call up a cylinder of earth in a point you can see within 60 feet, that has a diameter of 5 feet and a height of up to 15 feet. All creatures in the area must 1d12 bludgeoning damage. You can use this feature twice between long rests starting at 18th level
Stone Summon
At 15th level, you have gained the ability to call a creature from the stone. You can summon any monster below a challenge rating of 3 made from stone, in a unnocupied space within 5 feet of you. This monster has immunity to bludgeoning damage, but weakness to fire damage and is completely loyal to you.
Earth Form
You have learned how to mold the earth to your will. Once per long rest you can change the earth around you in any way you choose, but you can only make the effect 10 feet by 10 feet, or something proportional such as 15 feet by 5 feet.
