School of Demonology
An Arcane Tradition
There are few schools as risky or as dangerous as that of
demonology. To study demons, devils and their ilk in an
attempt to learn their secrets and obtain their service is to
play with wildfire. Yet, the rewards can be great.
Impish Companion
When you select this school at 2nd level, you learn to speak,
read and write abyssal and infernal. You also add the Find
Familiar spell to your spellbook if it is not there already. The
spell doesn't count against your number of spells known.
When you cast this spell, you can choose one of the normal
forms for your familiar or you may choose an Imp as your
familiar instead. Your familiar is always a fiend, regardless of
the form you choose.
Pentagram Magic
Additionally at 2nd level, you can create a magical pentagram
to protect you or your allies from harm or to imprison your
foes. As a bonus action, you may create a magical pentagram
around a creature you can see within 60 feet of you. When
you do, choose one of the following options:
Warding pentagram. The creature gains temporary
hitpoints equal to your Intelligence modifier, it also adds 1
+ half your proficiency bonus (rounded down) to its AC
and has advantage on Wisdom saving throws as long as it
remains within the pentagram.
Imprisoning pentagram. The creature makes a
Charisma saving throw against your spell DC, if it fails its
speed becomes 0, it can’t benefit from any bonus to its
speed, and it cannot make opportunity attacks as long as it
is contained within the pentagram. The creature can
repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns.
When the creature succeeds, the pentagram disappears. If
the creature is a fiend, it has disadvantage on the first
saving throw it makes.
Your pentagram lasts for 1 minute and occupies the space
occupied by the chosen creature, but does not move with it. A
pentagram disappears early if the creature within it leaves its
space or if you use this feature again to create another one.
Once you've used this feature a number of times equal to
your proficiency bonus, you may not do so again until you
finish a long rest.
Dark Summoner
At 6th level, you learn how to better control the demons and
devils you summon. Whenever you would make a deception,
insight, intimidation or persuasion check against a fiend, you
may add your Intelligence modifier to the roll.
Additionally, whenever you summon a fiend using a
Conjuration spell you learn its true name, if it has one, and
the fiend gains the following characteristics:
It gains temporary hitpoints equal to your Wizard level.
It adds 1d4 to ability checks it makes that aren't contested
by you and attack rolls it makes when the target isn't you.
Awaken the Blood Avatar by Kekai Kotaki
It may not target creatures within your warding
pentagram nor enter their space, and it automatically fails
all saving throws it makes against your imprisoning
pentagram.
Greater Pentagram
At 10th level, your pentagrams are stronger. When you use
your pentagram feature to create a pentagram while another
is still active, the first one doesn't disappear. If you then use
this feature to create a third one, the one you created first
disappears.
Additionally, whenever you create a warding pentagram,
the creature has advantage on all Dexterity and Constitution
saving throws it makes as long as it remains within the
pentagram. Whenever you create an imprisoning pentagram,
the creature is restrained, and cannot teleport, move or be
moved by other means as long as it is contained within the
pentagram.
Demonic Mastery
Starting at 14th level, you can use your demonic knowledge
to bring fiends under your control, even if you didn't summon
them. As an action, you can choose one fiend that you can see
within 60 feet of you that can hear you. You learn that
creature's true name, and use it to try and control it. The
creature must make a Charisma saving throw against your
wizard spell save DC. If it succeeds, you can't use this feature
on it again. If it fails, it becomes friendly to you and obeys
your commands until you use this feature again.
Powerful fiends are harder to control in this way. If the
target has a CR rating of 3 or higher, it has advantage on the
saving throw. If it fails the saving throw and has a CR of 5 or
higher, it can repeat the saving throw at the end of every hour
until it succeeds and breaks free. Fiends with a CR of 15 or
higher are immune to this feature.
