Linkrell

A dwarf cowers in fear as a giant dragon marches towards him. The dragon lifts it's foot, ready to crush the man. As his foot falls, a bright shield appears around him, and the dragon stumbles and falls. A tiefling strikes out at a ogre. Right when his attack hits, a golden aura surrounds the sword. The ogre stares in shock, then crumples as the mighty warrior strikes him down with angelic power. Linkrell translates to Keeper of Secrets in their language. Their mysterious power has shown up on few occasions in the past.

Spellcasting

You can invoke the power of your guardian to cast any spell on the Linkrell Spell list, with the following rules.

Cantrips

At 1st level, you know three cantrips of your choice from the Linkrell Spell List. You learn additional Linkrell cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Linkrell table.

Preparing and Casting Spells

The spells you know of first level or higher are determined by your Guardian Blood. Specifications are in the spell description.

Spellcasting Ability

Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your Linkrell spells. You use your Intelligence whenever a Linkrell spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Linkrell spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Ritual Casting

You can cast a Linkrell spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.

Spellcasting Focus

You can use a Linkrellic (Arcane) Focus for your Linkrell spells.
