Geomancer

Geomancers are spirit guides. They are connected to the world via the many spirits that inhabit it, from the smallest mote of dust to the largest mountain. This deep connection gives them access to powerful primal magics and a direct bond with a chosen Spirit Guide. You are a non-combat caster who sees and communes with these fundamental forces, acting as their emissary and agent in the physical world.

Geomancers seek to follow the will of their companion spirit. Most often this takes the form of protecting wild areas or disrupting an unnatural influence. Your purpose is to provide this powerful, non-combat utility to your party, using your primal spells and spirit companion to interact with the world in ways others cannot. You may be seeking to right a wrong, fulfill a bargain, or simply act as the voice for the silent, elemental forces of the world.

If you are a primal caster from your combat class, you will want to focus on Endurance to boost your vitality. Most Geomancers also have a high Acuity as they are more observant of nature around them. Most Geomancers started their as Outlanders as the time outside cities led to a bond with nature. Often Folk Heroes might find that their dependence on the land helps to bond to spirits of the land as well. Hermits often find a secret connection to the spirits during their isolation as well.

You start with the following equipment, in addition to any other starting equipment:

• a spiritualist’s pack

• herbalism kit

Your connection to the spirits fuels your magic.

Spellcasting Circles

The Geomancer table shows the highest circle of spells that you can cast.

Spellcasting Resources

Your spells do not use any spellcasting resources, rather they take longer to cast, roughly 30 seconds per spell circle. If you have spellcasting from a combat class, you may cast these spells at combat speeds, but they will cost Vitality and Action Points.

Known or Prepared spells

You have access to all primal non-combat spells from a the spell list of the Spirit you are connected with.

You gain the service of a Spirit Guide, a spirit that takes an elemental form you choose: Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Void, Gravity, Ice, or Entropy. You form or connection over the course of 10 minutes with that creature and it is brought to an unoccupied space within 30 feet of you.

Your spirit guide acts independently of you, but it always obeys your commands. A spirit guide can't attack and can't normally interact with the physical world. You share any passive benefits that your spirit guide has.

While your spirit guide is within 100 feet of you, you can communicate with it telepathically. Additionally, you can see through your spirit guide's eyes and hear what it hears until the start of your next turn, gaining the benefits of any special senses that the spirit guide has. During this time, you are deaf and blind with regard to your own senses.

You can't have more than one spirit guide at a time. You can release your spirit guide and re-form a connection with a new spirit guide. Choose one of the forms from the list. While bound to the Spirit Guide, you gain use of the spirit's natural abilities.
