Planeshifter

A
dragonborn stands atop a pillar, facing an
incoming armada of undead. They group up at
the base of the structure, piling on top of each
other to reach the adventurer, begging to rip the
skull from his corpse. The dragonborn reaches
into himself, as a swirl of violet energy
surrounds him, morphing with his physical
body. The incorporeal energy mixes with his blood, which
devises a ball of fire in his hand. With a mighty roar, the
dragonborn catapults the fireball into the undead horde
beneath him, eradicating the threat.
A tiefling faces down an alhoon, casting its behemothically
potent spells. Her party members start to fall left and right,
being overwhelmed by their opponent's spellcasting. In a fit of
rage, the tiefling drives her blade through its chest, as an
abyssal curse seeps into her target's body. Suddenly, the
alhoon finds itself unable to cast its debilitating spells.
Borderline helpless, the alhoon is beaten to an indescribable
pulp as the tiefling laughs triumphantly.
These extremely powerful spellcasters have one aspect in
common: they have been merged with a cosmological plane
of existence. They may have experienced some sort of
exceedingly rare, traumatic event; or perhaps they underwent
some sort of supermagical ritual that tied their souls to an
alternate plane. Regardless of how they came to be, the result
is the same. Planeshifters utilize their direct connection to a
cosmological plane to power their magical abilities.
Unfortunately, their magic does not come as freely as other
spellcasters. They do have a base level of magical ability, but
they can raise themselves above it, by permanently scarring
their corporeal bodies. Every time they rip a piece of
themselves off, they come one step closer to becoming fully
engulfed by their plane.
Corporeal and Incorporeal
The universe and its many planes are infinite, but the mortal
body is not. Planeshifters possess a great magical power that
only an extreme few will ever achieve. However, this power
comes at an extreme price. The more a planeshifter taps into
his or her power, the more his or her physical body begins to
fade and tear away. No amount of healing magic nor potions
can counteract this decay; only a lengthy rest will be potent
enough.
Planeshifters carry a heavy burden upon their shoulders. In
the wrong hands, they can unleash extraplanar powers and
creatures onto a world they should never know. An evil
planeshifter is incredibly invasive, introducing concepts that
no mortal should ever be forced to comprehend. A good
planeshifter, on the other hand, works as one of the most
powerful counterinsurgent workhorses in the universe. No
other plane has any kind of creature that is as in-tune with
the cosmological planes as the planeshifter is.

Creating a Planeshifter Quick Build

Your past is as important as your present and future. While
some adventurers may merely take spells as a hobby or study
it as a career, you are one with the magic arts. Nobody
granted you this power, there is no greater being that is
spoon-feeding you your magic. You, one way or another,
merged with the arcane and became one with it. You always
have one foot in the Material Plane and another on a separate
plane.
What cosmological plane of existence did you merge with?
Were you alone when this occurred, or did someone else
witness the event? Was it purposeful or accidental? Did you
You can make a planeshifter quickly by following these
suggestions. First, your highest ability score should be your
Constitution, which determines your hit points and acts as
your spellcasting ability. Your next highest ability score
should be Dexterity, as that determines your armor class and
assists in your melee encounters.
Class Features
As a planeshifter, you gain the following class features.
Hit Points

merge consentfully or did someone force it upon you? What Hit Dice: 1d8 per planeshifter level

physical attributes may have manifested upon your body after Hit Points at 1st Level: 8 + your Constitution modifier

the merge took place? Do you take this newfound destiny in Hit Points at Higher Levels: 1d8 (or 5) + your Constitution
stride, or do you regret it and hope for a way to reverse it? modifier per planeshifter level after 1st
How were your relationships with your friends and family
affected? Do they support and love you, or do they ostracize Proficiencies
and shun you? Armor: Light armor

Weapons: Simple weapons

Tools: None

Saving Throws: Constitution, Intelligence

Skills: Choose two from Acrobatics, Arcana, Insight,

Investigation, Nature, Perception, and Survival

Equipment
You start with the following equipment, in addition to the
equipment granted by your background:
(a) any simple weapon or (b) rapier (if proficient)
(a) a component pouch or (b) an arcane focus
(a) an explorer's pack or (b) a scholar's pack
(a) leather armor or (b) scale mail (if proficient)
Pact Magic
At one point in your life, your physical body merged with a
cosmological plane of existence. That plane grants you your
ability to cast spells.
Cantrips
You know three cantrips of your choice from the planeshifter
spell list. You learn additional planeshifter cantrips of your
choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known
column of the Planeshifter table.
Spell Slots
The Planeshifter table shows how many spell slots you have
to cast your planeshifter spells of 1st through 5th level. The
table also shows what the level of those slots is; all of these
spell slots are the same level. To cast one of your planeshifter
spells of 1st through 5th level, you must expend a spell slot.
You regain all expended Pact Magic spell slots when you
finish a short or long rest.
For example, when you are 5th level, you have two 3rd-level
spell slots. To cast the 1st-level spell witch bolt, you must
spend one of those slots, and you cast it as a 3rd-level spell.
Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher
At 1st level, you know two 1st-level spells of your choice from
the planeshifter spell list.
The Spells Known column of the Planeshifter table shows
when you learn more planeshifter spells of your choice of 1st-
level and higher. A spell you choose must be of a level no
higher than what's shown in the table's Slot Level column for
your level. When you reach 6th level, for example, you learn a
new planeshifter spell, which can be 1st, 2nd, or 3rd level.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can
choose one of the planeshifter spells you know and replace it
with another spell from the planeshifter spell list, which also
must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
Spellcasting Ability
Constitution is your spellcasting ability for your planeshifter
spells, so you use your Constitution whenever a spell refers to
your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your
Constitution modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a
planeshifter spell you cast and when making an attack roll
with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your
Constitution modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your
Constitution modifier
Spellcasting Focus
You can use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus for your
planeshifter spells.
Extraplanar Affinity
At 1st level, your corporeal form has been morphed with a
cosmological plane of your choice: the Abyssal Plane, the
Astral Plane, Celestial Plane, Elemental Plane, Ethereal
Plane, Nine Hells, or the Shadow Plane; each of which is
detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice
grants you features at 1st level, and again at 6th, 10th, 14th,
and 20th level.
Cosmological Tear
At 2nd level, you can tap into the cosmological plane within
you to cast more spells, at the expense of weakening your
physical form.
With this feature, you can choose to cast a spell without
expending a spell slot in exchange for losing hit dice. Before
you cast a spell in this way, expend a number of hit dice equal
to the level of the spell. You may then cast the spell without
expending a spell slot. When you cast a spell in this way, it
does not have to be at the highest level, but it can not be of a
higher spell level than you can cast in this class.
Dynamism of the Rifts
Starting at 3rd level, you can use the power from your plane
to create effects other than spells. These abilities are fueled
by a resource known as Rift Points.
Rift Power. You learn a number of rift powers of your
choice equal to your proficiency bonus. Your rift power
options are detailed at the end of the class description. You
can change one of your rift powers each time you gain a level
in this class. If a rift power has prerequisites, you must meet
all of them in order to take that rift power.
Rift Points. You have a number of rift points equal to your
level. If you do not have enough current rift points to use a rift
power, you are unable to use that rift power. You regain all
expended rift points upon finishing a long rest.
Saving Throws. If a rift power requires a saving throw, the
saving throw is equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your
Constitution modifier.
Mystic Arcanum
At 11th level, your connection to your cosmological plane
grants you additional magical power. Choose one 6th-level
spell from the planeshifter spell list as this arcanum.
You can cast your arcanum spell once without expending a
spell slot. You must finish a long rest before you can do so
again. You can not use your Cosmological Tear ability to cast
one of these spells.
At higher levels, you gain more planeshifter spells of your
choice that can be cast in this way: one 7th-level spell at 13th
level, one 8th-level spell at 15th level, and one 9th-level spell at
17th level. You regain all uses of your Mystic Arcanum when
you finish a long rest.

Planar Rejuvenation
At 18th level, you can draw strength from your plane more
often. You regain half of your rift points (rounded down) on a
short rest.
Extraplanar Affinities
In the cosmology of the World Tree, there are over a dozen
planes of existence that have been detailed. When you came
into contact with one, it changed you forever. Your newfound
spellcasting is derived from this plane, but that's not all. This
plane has granted you special abilities; abilities that no other
plane can grant you.
Abyssal Plane
You have merged with the Abyss. This infinitely layered plane
is the birthplace of demons. Despite who you may be, a
constant chaotic evil voice constantly scratches at your
throat. It urges you to become stronger by slaying those who
stand above you. Whether or not you listen to it, it never
relents. You may feel constantly tortured and attacked by this
voice. Alternatively, you may thrive upon it and use it to
empower yourself.
Abyssal Magic
The Abyssal Plane grants you additional spells known at the
planeshifter levels listed in the Abyssal Plane Spells table.
Each of these spells counts as a planeshifter spell for you, but
it doesn't count against the number of planeshifter spells you
can know.
Abyssal Plane Spells
Planeshifter
Level Spells
1st booming blade, cause fear, inflict

3rd mirror image, shadow blade
5th summon lesser demon, vampiric touch

martial weapons.
Abyssal Knowledge
Also at 1st level, you are innately knowledgeable of the Abyss.
You can add twice your proficiency bonus to any check made
relating to recalling information about the Abyss or its
inhabitants.
Malevolent Warrior
At 6th level, you become a more aggressive warrior. Once on
your turn, when you take the Attack action, you can attack
one additional time as part of the same action.
Additionally, you can expend 1 rift point to gain advantage
on all melee attacks until the end of your current turn.
Violent Blessing
At 10th level, you reap the souls of those you slay, feeding
your power. Whenever a hostile creature dies within 60 feet
of you, you can use your reaction to consume its soul,
allowing you to regain an expended rift point. When you do
so, you also gain an amount of temporary hit points equal to
half your planeshifter level.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your
proficiency bonus, and regain all expended uses upon
finishing a long rest.
Overthrow the Strong
At 14th level, your will to eradicate your foes starts to
overcome you, as you coat your melee weapon attacks with
the negative energy of the Abyss. Once on your turn, when
you hit with a melee weapon attack, you can spend rift points
to add necrotic damage to it. Your attack deals an additional
d6 necrotic damage per rift point expended, however you can
spend no more than 5 rift points at a time with this ability.
Tortured Foes
At 20th level, you have learned to infect your foes with the
mind-torturing powers of the Abyss. Whenever you land a
melee weapon attack on a hostile creature, you can force the
target to make a Constitution saving throw against your spell
save DC. If the target fails, you can choose one of the
following effects to inflict:
The target can not regain hit points for 1 minute
The target suffers disadvantage on all saving throws and
attack rolls until the end of your next turn
The target can not cast a spell until the end of your next
turn
You can not have more than one of these effects on the
same target at a given time. Once a creature fails its saving
throw against this feature, you can not use it again until you
finish a short or long rest, unless you expend 2 rift points to
do so.

Astral Plane Timeless

7th death ward, freedom of movement Directional Gravity Well
9th far step, temporal shunt At 10th level, you can change the directional gravity of an
area. As an action, you can choose a 20-foot radius, 20-foot

tall cylindrical area within 100 feet of you. You can choose

whether this cylinder pulls creatures within its area upwards

or downwards when you use this ability. All creatures in the

area must make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell

save DC. On a failed save, all affected targets either float 20

feet into the air or are anchored to the ground. Regardless, a

target is grappled and restrained. An affected target can make

a Wisdom saving throw at the end of each of its turns,

breaking free of the gravity well on a successful save.

This ability lasts for 1 minute, until you lose concentration

as if you were concentrating on a spell, or you use an action

to dismiss it. You can use this ability twice per long rest.

Quickened Cantrip

At 14th level, you've tapped into the magical energy of the

Astral Plane. Whenever you cast a cantrip on your turn, you

can use your bonus action to cast an additional cantrip with a

casting time of 1 action.

You can use this ability a number of times equal to your

proficiency bonus, and regain all expended uses upon

finishing a lon rest.

Dreadnought Ambush

At 20th level, you can temporarily create a rift of the Astral

Plane on your current plane of existence, summoning the

mightiest monstrosity that dwells within: the Astral

Dreadnought. As an action, you can choose a 60-foot radius

that you can see. When you do so, you create a rift of the

Astral Plane, through which an Astral Dreadnought emerges.

The Astral Dreadnought can not leave the 60-foot radius,

however it can reach beyond it with its attacks. The

dreadnought takes its turn after yours, using its stat block as

presented in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes, and attacks the

creatures closest to it. It is not friendly to you nor your allies.

The dreadnought remains for 3 rounds, unless it is slain,

you are incapacitated, or you dismiss it as an action. You can

use this ability once per long rest.

Celestial Planes
You have merged with the Celestial Planes. This set of planes
is broken up into nine subplanes, each of which is a gorgeous,
pleasant paradise in which even the most tortured of souls
would find peace. Heavenly radiance surges within you.
Celestial Magic
The Celestial Planes grant you additional spells known at the
planeshifter levels listed in the Celestial Planes Spells table.
Each of these spells counts as a planeshifter spell for you, but
it doesn't count against the number of planeshifter spells you
can know.

resistance to radiant and necrotic damage.

action on your turn, only if you fly for the movement.

celestial's. You gain truesight out to 15 feet.
Additionally, you know if any creature that you can see or
hear is lying.
Angelic Arsenal
At 20th level, you can allow the Celestial Planes to
overwhelm you with their power, temporarily granting you
Planetar-esque abilities. Once per long rest, as an action, you

additional 30 feet
You gain a flying speed of 60 feet and truesight out to 60

Healing Rift

Elemental Plane
You have merged with the Elemental Plane. This plane is
broken up into four subplanes: air, earth, fire, and water.
There are also several quasi-planes that act as intermediary
sections between each plane. You are connected to each one
of them, granting yourself powers of each element.
Elemental Magic
The Elemental Plane grants you additional spells known at
the planeshifter levels listed in the Elemental Plane Spells
table. Each of these spells counts as a planeshifter spell for
you, but it doesn't count against the number of planeshifter
spells you can know.
Planeshifter Level Spells
1st absorb elements, hellish rebuke
3rd aganazzar's scorcher, warding wind
5th protection from energy, tidal wave
7th elemental bane, summon elemental
9th conjure elemental, transmute rock
Minor Elemental Resistance
At 1st level, your connection to each Elemental Plane grants
you minute defenses against certain attacks. Whenever you
take acid, cold, lightning, or fire damage, you can subtract 1d4
from the damage roll. This damage reduction increases at
higher levels, becoming 1d6 at 5th level, 1d8 at 11th level, and
1d10 at 17th level.
Elemental Knowledge
Also at 1st level, you are innately knowledgeable of the
Elemental Plane. You can add twice your proficiency bonus to
any check made relating to recalling information about the
Elemental Plane or its inhabitants.
Elemental Affinity
At 6th level, you've learned to control the elements in perfect
harmony. Whenever you cast a spell that deals acid, cold,
lightning, or fire damage; you can expend 1 rift point to
change the damage type of that spell to one of others
previously listed.
Strength of the Elements
At 10th level, you can force a target to succumb to one of your
elements. Whenever you deal damage with a spell of 1st level
or higher that deals acid, cold, lightning, or fire damage; you
can expend 2 rift points plus 1 additional rift point per level of
the spell to make one target of the spell vulnerable to that
instance of damage, only if that target is neither resistant nor
immune to that damage type.
Purity of the Elements
At 14th level, your body is one with the elements. You gain
resistance to acid, cold, lightning, and fire damage.
Additionally, whenever you are subjected to acid, cold,
lightning, or fire damage; you can use your reaction to grant
yourself immunity to that instance of damage.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your
proficiency bonus, and regain all expended uses upon
finishing a long rest.
Archomental
At 20th level, you can become one with an Elemental Plane of
your choosing. When you use this feature, choose an element:
air, earth, fire, or water. You then, as an action, assume the
form of the elemental myrmidon associated with that
element, as presented in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes. Your
gear is morphed into the elemental form and can not be used
for the duration. However, any gear that is part of the
elemental's stat block magically manifests as a part of you
until this feature ends.
When you do, take on that creature's stat block. You keep
all of your current stats, unless the new ones are higher. You
also keep all of your current resistances and immunities, in
addition to the ones you gain from your elemental form. If an
ability in your elemental form requires a saving throw, that
saving throw has a DC equal to your spell save DC.
You may still cast spells and use your rift powers while in
your elemental form. When you are reduced to 0 hit points
while in your elemental form, any additional damage carries
over to your humanoid form.
This feature lasts for 1 minute, until you are reduced to 0
hit points, or you are incapacitated. You can use this ability
twice per long rest.
Ethereal Plane

You have merged with the Ethereal Plane. It is one of the

transitive planes, meaning that it serves primarily as a

method of travelling between major planes. It coexists with

the Material Plane, as it is almost exactly the same except

individuals can pass through solid objects and other

creatures.

Ethereal Magic

The Ethereal Plane grants you additional spells known at the

planeshifter levels listed in the Ethereal Plane Spells table.

Each of these spells counts as a planeshifter spell for you, but

it doesn't count against the number of planeshifter spells you

can know.

Planeshifter

Level Spells

1st feather fall, mage armor

3rd misty step, spider climb

5th blink, fly

7th freedom of movement, leomund's secret

Ethereal Sight

At 1st level, your vision is amplified. You gain darkvision out

to 60 feet. If you already have darkvision, the range extends

by 30 feet.

Additionally, you can see into the Ethereal Plane out to 10

feet. Lastly, you gain advantage on Wisdom (Perception)

checks made to locate hidden creatures.

Ethereal Knowledge

Also at 1st level, you are innately knowledgeable of the

Ethereal Plane. You can add twice your proficiency bonus to
any check made relating to recalling information about the
Ethereal Plane or its inhabitants.
Otherworldly Perception
At 6th level, you gain a sense to perceive those who are
otherwise unseen. Your vision into the Ethereal Plane
extends out to 30 feet.
Additionally, you can sense that an invisible creature is
present within 30 feet of you. You do not know the creature's
location, unless it moves. Once it moves, you know exactly
where it is. Since you are innately aware of creatures around
you, you can not be surprised by a creature within 30 feet of
you.
Incorporeal Movement
At 10th level, you can slowly phase through objects. You can
move through solid objects and other creatures as if they
were difficult terrain. Once on your turn, when you pass
through a creature, that creature suffers 1d4 psychic damage.
If you end your turn inside an object or creature, however, you
take 1d10 force damage and are shunted into the nearest
unoccupied space.
Ethereal Travel
At 14th level, you can fully transition from one plane to the
other. As a bonus action, you can enter the Ethereal Plane,
becoming undetectable by any creature on the Material Plane
except for those who can see into the Ethereal Plane. While
you are on the Ethereal Plane, you are unable to affect nor be
affected by anything on the Material Plane. You can then use
a bonus action to return to the Material Plane.
You can stay on the Ethereal Plane for a cumulative total of
1 minute. After that, you are unable to use this ability until
you finish a long rest.
Protomatter Demiplane
At 20th level, you can banish a creature to a temporarily
created demiplane, forged by the protomatter that exists
within the Deep Ethereal.
As an action, you can choose a creature you can see within
60 feet of you. That creature is then instantly transported to
the demiplane, where it remains for 1 round. When it takes
its next turn on the initiative order, it must make a Wisdom
saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, it
suffers 10d10 acid, cold, fire, lightning, necrotic, or radiant
damage (your choice). On a successful save, it takes half of
the damage. At the start of your next turn, the creature
returns to the Material Plane at its original position.
You can use this feature twice per long rest.
Nine Hells
You have merged with the Nine Hells. This plane is the home
of the devils, and consists of nine separate circles; each one
more frightful and malevolent than the last. Many may see
you as a spawn of the devils, but in reality, you are the plane
that spawns the devils.
Nine Hells Magic
The Nine Hells grant you additional spells known at the
planeshifter levels listed in the Nine Hells Spells table. Each
of these spells counts as a planeshifter spell for you, but it
doesn't count against the number of planeshifter spells you
can know.

Hells. You can add twice your proficiency bonus to any check
made relating to recalling information about the Nine Hells
or its inhabitants.
Devilish Ally
At 6th level, your connection to the Nine Hells catches the
attention of an archdevil, who grants you a permanent imp
ally. This imp scales in power as you gain levels in this class,
as shown in the accompanying stat block.
The imp is friendly to you and your companions, and obeys
your commands. In combat, the imp shares your initiative
count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. The only
action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take
a bonus action to command it to take another action. If you
are incapacitated, the imp can take any action of its choice.
If the imp dies, it is replaced by a new one after a long rest.
Fiendish Collaboration
At 10th level, you and your imp have become more intwined.
You and your imp can now communicate telepathically with
