Oracle

Overview & Creation

A man who hoped he would never be found is dying in the woods surrounded by stolen fortune he will never get to spend. His skin cracks, the result of this strange disease that dented his perfect escape. His cabin door blows open. He rolls over to see that it is not the authorities nor the hounds, but rather a strange woman with glowing eyes. She shows him a future that is healthy and bountiful and offers him a chance to achieve that, but in exchange, she requires one small favour.    

Business Model

  Oracles, or Oathkeepers, are created and moderated by The Scribes of Presage, an obscure company that operates in practical business methods that definitely do not mimic pyramid schemes. The company was created by The First Oracle, a gifted diviner who realized she could make pretty good money off her powers. She recruited more and more people, allowing them to access The Cloud, a demiplane of thought where all of The SoP's prophecies are stored.   Class 1 Oracle: The First Oracle   Class 2 Oracles: The six Ministers   Class 3 Oracles: Each Minister has 3 Lieutenants (secretaries?) who organize and direct those below them to make sure all the work gets done   Class 4 Oracles: High ranking Oracles with years of experience   Class 5 Oracles: Entry level Oracles   Class 6 Oracles: Interns who do paperwork and grab coffee and stuff    

Tinkerers of Fate

  Oracles tinker with fate. They glance into possibilities for the future, and contract people to make key decisions that will influence which outcome becomes real. The future Oracles construct is a complex web of requests and promises that need to be complete.  

Cursed Diviners

  When an Oracle becomes a Class 5 Oracle, they are plugged into The Cloud, giving them access to powerful divinatory abilities, but not leaving them unchanged.  

Oracle Names / Stage Names

  Each Oracle is given a name of which they operate by. It is almost always "The" followed by a noun, typically related to time, sight, or relation to an event. Some examples are: The Witness, The Watcher, The Lost.

Class Features

Oracle's Curse

  The process of exposing a creature to the threads of fate leaves something permanently dwelling in them. A chaotic, ever changing curse finds home in every Oracle.   At the end of every long rest, roll on the Oracle's Curse table below. Each curse has a positive and a negative effect that last until the end of your next Long Rest.  

Ministry

  Choose one Ministry which you work for within The Scribes of Presage. Your choice grants you department spells and other features when you choose it at 1st level. It also grants you additional ways to use Revalation when you gain that feature at 2nd level, and additional benefits at 6th, 8th, and 17th levels. Ministry of the Coin (Leprechauns), Ministry of Enchantment (Hags), Ministry of Manipulation (Rakshasa), Ministry of the Plague (Coldskin), Ministry of the Shield (Loxodon), Ministry of the Stars (Brak'ka'lak)  

Ministry Spells

  Each Ministry has a list of spells--its Ministry spells-- that you gain at the Oracle levels noted in the Ministry description. Once you gain a Ministry spell, you always have it prepared and it doesn't count against the number of spells you can prepare for the day.   If you have a Ministry spell that doesn't appear on your Oracle spell list, the spell is nonetheless an Oracle spell for you.  

Revelation

  At 2nd level, you gain the ability to glance into the future and exert a slight amount of influence to have a chance at shifting tides for you or others. You start with two such effects: Quest and an effect determined by your ministry. Some Ministries grant you additional effects as you advance in levels, as noted in the Ministry description.   When you use your Revelation, you choose which effect to create. You must then finish a short or long rest to use your Revelation again.  

Revelation: Quest

  You can take one minute to perform a ritual to embody a willing creature with a Quest. This is usually done as part of a contract in exchange for your divination services. In order for this to function, this Quest must be approved by your Ministry or already within The Cloud (ie, DM discretion).   If approved, you may cast a cantrip or a or expend a first level spell on the creature and state a condition on which it would activate. This is typically done as a blessing to help them achieve something(for example a buff or a heal) or as a curse to discourage them from attempting to go back on their word (for example a debuff or damaging spell). The spell will be cast from your Minister as appropriate.   Each creature can only have one Quest at a time from each Ministry. They will need to complete their Quest in order to obtain another one.   The level of spell you can cast increases as you gain levels:   Level 5 - 2nd level spell Level 8 - 3rd level spell Level 11 - 4th level spell Level 14 - 5th level spell  

Ability Score Improvement

  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.    

Bend Fate

  Beginning at 10th level, you can call on your Minister to intervene on your behalf when your need is great.   Imploring your Minister's aid requires you to use your action. Describe the assistance you seek, and roll percentile dice. If you roll a number equal to or lower than your Oracle level, your Minister intervenes. The DM chooses the nature of the intervention; the effect of any Oracle spell or Oracle domain spell would be appropriate. If your Oracle intervenes, you can't use this feature again for 7 days. Otherwise, you can use it again after you finish a Long Rest.   You can also use this in place of a spell for your Quest ability. You roll on the spot to see if assistance will be given or not. If it is, you can't use this feature again for 7 days. Otherwise, you can use it again after you finish a Long Rest.   At 20th level, your call for intervention succeeds automatically, no roll required.

Spellcasting

As an employee of the The Scribes of Presage, you can cast Oracle spells.  

Cantrips

  At 1st level, you know three Cantrips of your choice from the Oracle spell list. You learn additional Oracle Cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Oracle table.  

Preparing and Casting Spells

  The Oracle 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 slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended Spell Slots when you finish a Long Rest.   You prepare the list of Oracle Spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the Oracle spell list. When you do so, choose a number of Oracle Spells equal to your Wisdom modifier + your Oracle level (minimum of one spell). The Spells must be of a level for which you have Spell Slots.   You can change your list of prepared Spells when you finish a Long Rest. Preparing a new list of Oracle Spells requires time spent in prayer and meditation: at least 1 minute per Spell Level for each spell on your list.  

Spellcasting Ability

  Wisdom is your Spellcasting Ability for your Oracle Spells. The power of your Spells comes from your devotion to your deity. You use your Wisdom whenever an Oracle spell refers to your Spellcasting Ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when Setting the saving throw DC for an Oracle spell you cast and when Making an Attack roll with one.   Spell save DC = 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Wisdom modifier Spell Attack modifier = your Proficiency Bonus + your Wisdom modifier   Ritual Casting   You can cast an Oracle spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.   Spellcasting Focus   You can use a holy Symbol (see "Equipment") as a Spellcasting focus for your Oracle Spells.
