Cosmic

January 19, 2021

The Cosmic is a homebrew class for Dungeons and Dragons 5e with a total of five different subclasses. Dungeons and Dragons have multiple classes for each casting ability except intelligence and so I decided to make my own Intelligence-based caster to provide my players with more options. Wizards in fifth edition understand the formulae of magic casting but the cosmic understands the root of not only the arcane but the divine as well. Cosmics are meant to fill the hybrid role of damaging caster and healer, depending on how the player chooses to build their character. I created a unique spell list especially for the cosmic to use more powerful spells at the cost of the number of spells that can be used each day, much like the Warlock.

My intent for each subclass was to create a different facet for roleplay while providing a different role for the party. For example, the Heliacal Herald subclass turns the Cosmic into a tank that fuels itself on the warmth and strength of the sun while the Zodiac Aspect allows players who love astrology to travel with an astral companion of their Zodiac sign.

The Cosmic class includes 5 class archetypes, 12 new class familiars, and 12 new spells that only Cosmics may cast. A unique spellcasting feature of the Cosmic is the inability to cast a spell more than once between short rests, preventing the spamming of spells other casters may abuse. However, Cosmics also have access to a resource known as cosmic energy, which may be used in place of spell slots as well as specific class abilities. What makes cosmic energy special is that it is a resource that can be renewed should the proper circumstance of fate allow it.
