Chapter 1: Investigator
A collage of diagrams, maps, and small items litters
the wall, pinned with nails and connected by a
spiderweb of colorful strings. An elf stands nearby,
contemplating the mystery splayed out in front of her
and readying her crossbow for work.
A half-orc wearing a wide-brimmed hat leafs
through a thick tome, double-checking the
preparations: a sturdy net trap, holy symbols on the
doors, cloves of garlic, and several dozen wooden
stakes. The preparations made, the half-orc slinks into
the shadows and readies himself for the bloodshed.
Hastily tracing symbols in chalk, a human wearing
a long coat whirls about in a wide arc, completing a
rough magic circle in mere seconds. A monstrously fat
demon, blood dripping with its drool, lunges at him,
but instead impacts off an invisible magical barrier, a
cylinder raised from the circle’s edge. The fiend howls
with rage, and the inquisitor breathes a sigh of relief.
Supernatural detectives and monster slayers,
investigators are always on the hunt for malevolent
outsiders. Whenever evil seeps into the world—be it
fiends, undead, or strange abominations from beyond
the stars—investigators will be the first to locate them
and banish their foul corruption from the mortal
plane.

Paranormal Investigators
There are forces more ancient than time, foes more
sinister than the foulest men, and beings more titanic
than gods. The world stands at a precipice of woe and
terror, being threatened nightly by dark agents and
hordes of monsters. At risk to their own lives and
sanities, investigators penetrate the evil that creeps
in the shadows and banish it from the world. Their
battles are never-ending, for victory only delays
doomsday another night.
Investigators track supernatural threats ranging
from incorporeal spirits, to nefarious vampires and
lycanthropes, to incursions of demons and devils.
Often in their investigations, they often uncover
secret cults and maligned individuals who bring these
supernatural threats to bear. It is always their goal
to impede these evildoers by any means necessary,
resorting to trickery, guile, magic, and bloodshed
when necessary. To an investigator, no tactic is
unthinkable when the world is at stake.

Exorcists and Occultists

Even as they strive to contain its influence
from the world at large, investigators dabble
in forbidden magic to give themselves an
edge against supernatural threats. Prepared
investigators keep a well-stocked grimoire
of magical secrets, containing rituals,
incantations, notes on monsters’ powers

DC and making an attack roll.

1: Investigator 3

 Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus +
your Intelligence modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus +
your Intelligence modifier
Myths and Legends
At 2nd level, you are extremely adept at uncovering
knowledge which pertains to eldritch threats and
forgotten legends. You have advantage on Intelligence
checks related to researching creatures, spells, and
other ancient or secret lore.
Rushed Incantation
Beginning at 2nd level, you can hastily perform any
ritual spell in your grimoire that has a casting time of
1 action, completing the ritual as a bonus action. If
the ritual requires spell components worth 100 gp or
less, you cast it without using spell components. You
can use this feature a number of times equal to your
Intelligence modifier (minimum 1), and regain the
ability to do so when you finish a long rest.
As you gain higher levels in this class, you can use
this feature additional times. You can use it once more
at 5th level (Int mod + 1), 9th level (Int mod + 2),
13th level (Int mod + 3), and 17th level (Int mod + 4).
Occult Specialization
At 3rd level, you choose a specialization, an area
of expertise in handling eldritch threats. Your
specialization choices are detailed at the end of the
class description. Your specialization choice grants
you features at 3rd level and then again at 6th, 10th,
and 14th level.
Trinkets
Investigators of each specialization also collect a
number of supernatural trinkets. Once you use one
of your trinkets, you can’t use another one until you
finish a short or long rest. As you gain higher levels in
this class, you can use your trinkets additional times:
You can use them once more at 5th level (2 uses),
11th level (3 uses), and 17th level (4 uses).
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.
Exploit Weakness
Most supernatural creatures have some form of
weakness, a chink in their armor that allows them to
be defeated. Starting at 5th level, once on each of your
turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack,
it is treated as if it has vulnerability to the weapon’s
damage. Additional weapon damage added by spells
4 1: Investigator
mage hand press
and class features such as hunter’s mark, Sneak Attack,
and Finisher are not doubled by this effect. Moreover,
the attack, as well as all other attacks made against
the creature until the start of your next turn, are
considered magical for the purposes of bypassing
damage resistance and immunity.
Opportunistic Piety
By 7th level, you always keep a wide array of holy
symbols and blessed items on your person, even if
you aren’t particularly pious. When you use your
Opportunistic Piety, you choose which effect to create
from the list below. You must then finish a short or
long rest to use your Opportunistic Piety again.
Banish. You cast the spell banishment without
using a spell slot. If the target is a fey, fiend, or undead
and fails its saving throw against this spell, it also
takes radiant damage equal to your level.
Miracle Healing. As an action, divine light from
your hands knit the wounds of a willing creature you
touch. That creature regains a number of hit points
equal to twice your investigator level. This ability has
no effect on undead or constructs.
Warding. As an action, you trace a holy symbol on
a creature within 5 feet of you, warding it from harm.
For the next minute, aberrations, celestials, fey, fiends,
and undead which touch the target creature or hit it
with a melee attack take 1d12 radiant damage.
Supernatural Resolve
At 9th level, you gain an extreme resilience to the
attacks and effects of the creatures you regularly
investigate. You can’t be possessed or charmed, and
you gain resistance to both psychic and necrotic
damage.
Finisher
Beginning at 11th level, you know exactly how to
bring a monster down. Once on each of your turns
when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can
cause the attack to deal an extra 2d8 damage to the
creature. If the creature has less than half its hit points
remaining, you can instead deal an additional 4d8
damage to the creature.
Enigma Arcane
At 13th level, you uncover a magical secret connected
to a wellspring of potent magic. You can cast one
of the following spells once without expending a
spell slot: mirage arcane, plane shift, reverse gravity,
sequester, or teleport. You must finish a long rest
before you can do so again.
At 15th level, you can also cast one of the following
spells without expending a spell slot: antimagic field,
glibness, maze, or mind blank. You must finish a long
rest before you can do so again.
 At 17th level, you can also cast one of the following
spells without expending a spell slot: astral projection,
gate, or weird. You must finish a long rest before you
can do so again.
Exorcist
Beginning at 18th level, you can cast the spell
protection from evil and good without using a spell slot
or spell components.
Spellbinder
By 20th level, many rituals you perform have become
second nature to you. Select five ritual spells in your
grimoire with a casting time of 1 action. You can cast
these spells as a bonus action without using a use
of Rushed Incantation, and you can do so without
your grimoire on hand. If the ritual requires spell
components worth 100 gp or less, you cast it without
using spell components.
Occult
Specializations
Investigators of all stripes share the broad goal
of combating the occult, but their methods vary
wildly. Some emphasize cutting down monsters
and banishing demons, while others believe that
uncovering secrets and compiling critical information
is the surest method for eliminating supernatural
threats. When an investigator gains enough
experience, they can steer their approach, including
their specific techniques they employ and the trinkets
they carry, into an occult specialization, a school of
thought for handling eldritch threats.
Antiquarian
Festooned with magical trinkets from every corner of
the globe, antiquarians have a tool for every occasion:
silver arrowheads for lycanthropes, heartwood stakes
for vampires, blessed relics for fiends, and so on. As
they expand their collections from piles of trinkets to
veritable museums, they become adept historians and
arcanists, familiar with the story of every magic item
their care, as well how to use them in dire situations.
Artifact Historian
Starting when you choose this specialty at 3rd level,
you add the spell identify to your grimoire and never
require material components to cast it.
Trinkets
By 3rd level, you’ve collected a number of magical
trinkets to help you collect and unravel profound
arcane secrets. You can use the following trinkets:
Hateful Arrowhead. You can cast the spell
scorching ray or ray of enfeeblement once without
using a spell slot or spell components.
Mirrored Prism. You can
cast the spell blur or mirror
image, targeting yourself only,
once without using a spell slot or
spell components.
Razortooth Bandages. You can
cast the spell cure wounds or inflict
wounds once without using a spell
slot or spell components. This spell is
cast as if using a spell slot of the level shown in the
Ritual Level column of the Investigator table.
Relics
By 6th level, you’ve secured a handful of priceless
relics with rare and delicate enchantments. You can
use one of the following relics, and regain the ability
to do so when you finish a short or long rest.
Antediluvian Dynamo. You can cast the spell
fireball or lightning bolt once without using a spell slot
or spell components.
Lich’s Deathmask. You can cast the spell
counterspell or dispel magic once without using a spell
slot or spell components.
Mortal Coil. You can cast the spell animate dead
or revivify once without using a spell slot or spell
components. Casting animate dead using this trinket
causes all undead servants created by previous
castings of the spell to revert to lifeless corpses.
Magic Item Collection
Starting at 10th level, you maintain a vault of magic
items, secured in an extradimensional space with an
elaborate locking mechanism. You can produce one of
these items, and change your selection each day when
you finish a long rest.
The item is your choice of the following: a carpet
of flying, a cloak of the bat, a flame tongue, gauntlets of
ogre power, an instant fortress, a ring of regeneration, a
ring of telekinesis, a sun blade, or a wand of wonder.
Phylactery
By 14th level, you’ve secured the crown jewel of your
collection: a lich’s phylactery. Though the original
owner’s soul has been expelled from this accursed
artifact, it retains many of its unique properties.

Starting when you choose this specialization at 3rd 9th revivify, vampiric touch

5th enthrall, suggestion
9th dispel magic, hypnotic pattern

Erudite Spell
By 6th level, you’ve mastered the difficult theory
behind arcane propagation. When you cast a spell
which forces a creature to make a saving throw to
resist its effects, you can give one target of the spell
disadvantage on its first saving throw against the spell.
Once you use this ability, you can’t use it again
until you finish a short or long rest.
Encyclopedic Expertise
Starting at 10th level, you can identify any arcane
effect from memory. Whenever you witness a spell
being cast or investigate a magical effect, you can
always identify the spell that was cast, the magic item
responsible, or the monster which produced the effect.
However, this ability fails to identify spells, magic
items, and monsters which are utterly unique or are
otherwise not recorded in arcane texts.

6 1: Investigator
mage hand press
Eidetic Memory
At 14th level, you can effortlessly duplicate spells you
see in the world. You can copy any ritual spell you see
being cast into your grimoire.
Moreover, you can precisely copy the exact
motions of a spell’s casting to duplicate its effect.
When you see a spell of 5th level or lower being cast,
you can use your action and spend 1 use of your
Rushed Incantation feature as an action to cast the
spell yourself without spending a spell slot. The spell
must have a casting time of 1 action, must not have
expensive spell components, and must have taken
place within the last minute to use this ability. Once
you duplicate a spell in this way, you can’t duplicate it
again until you finish a long rest.
Conspiracy Theorist
The world is full of stuff that doesn’t add up. A
natural disaster strikes and they talk about theoretical
weather patterns. People forget days at a time and
they say some medical jargon about their brains. And
nobody seems to notice the folks dressed in black who
seem to be lurking behind every corner. It’s one big
coincidence after another. But when you ask the right
questions and pull on the most innocuous threads,
you start uncovering the biggest mysteries: the ones
They don’t want you knowing about.
It’s hard to tell who They even are, apart from the
fact they They’re massively influential and have deep
pockets. They have agents everywhere, watching and
waiting. What are their goals? What are they working
so hard to keep secret? You can’t be totally sure, but
you have a few good theories.
Paranoid Insight
Starting when you choose this specialization at 3rd
level, you have advantage on initiative rolls.
Trinkets
By 3rd level, you’ve collected a number of magical
trinkets to help you uncover mysteries that They don’t
want you to oust. You can use the following trinkets:
Masonic Charm. As a bonus action, you can attach
this charm to a weapon you are holding. When you do
so, pick a number from 2 to 19. For the next minute,
the weapon scores a critical hit on attack rolls when
you roll that number on a d20, in addition to a 20.
Three-Headed Coin. As a bonus action, you can
reroll one of your attack rolls or ability checks, or as a
reaction you can reroll a saving throw you make. You
choose which of the d20s is used for the roll.
Unfathomable Metal. As a bonus action, you
reveal the metal to a creature within 5 feet of you. The
target creature takes 1d6 radiant damage and must
succeed a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save,
it takes 1d6 radiant damage at the start of each of its
turns for up to 1 minute. The creature can reattempt
the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending
the effect on a success.
Prepper
Starting at 6th level, your manic predictions
of the future pay off in conventionally dangerous
situations. Whenever you ready an attack, you have
advantage on the attack roll.
Probably Aliens
Beginning at 10th level, you can predict never-
before-witnessed phenomena. Any time the
GM would disallow other characters to make an
Intelligence check to understand something because
the knowledge in question has no precedent, is too
obscure, or is simply unsupported by the available
information, they can allow you to make an
Intelligence check to understand it anyway.
Off the Grid
By 14th level, you’re so adept at avoiding people that
you can always keep them at arm’s length. Whenever
a hostile creature enters your reach, you can use your
reaction to move up to half your movement speed
without provoking opportunity attacks. Additionally,
you are always under the effects of the nondetection
spell.
Containment Specialist
Though the study of magic is diverse and wonderous,
it contains innumerable mysteries better left
unexplored. Such topics in magic are seldom studied,
for their very existence poses an existential threat to
the multiverse itself: chronomancy, protomancy, and
quantumancy are among the few graced with names
at all. When a sinister (or merely curious) arcanists
pulls on one of these volatile threads of knowledge,
they open a Pandora’s box of unpredictable effects; the
results are usually catastrophic. Using such dangerous
arcana leaves lasting scars on people and objects,
metaphysical reverberations from the terrible secrets
at their source.
As their title implies, containment specialists
are tasked with tracking, isolating, and containing
exotic magic and its artifacts. Their job is hazardous
and challenging, but is of critical importance to the
multiverse at large. Containment specialists usually
coordinate in clandestine groups to triangulate
new threats and ensure isolated ones are contained
indefinitely. With some luck, these organizations can
remain obscure footnotes for generations, further
sheltering their secrets from curious eyes.
Black Suit
Starting when you choose this specialization at 3rd
level, you can invoke a certian unspoken authority
invested in your black suit. You gain proficiency in
the Persuasion skill and add double your proficiency
bonus to checks you make with it.
1: Investigator 7
mage hand press
 Trinkets
By 3rd level, you’ve collected a handful of safe
magical items which aide in your search and
containment of far more dangerous artifacts. You can
use the following trinkets:
Antibell. As a bonus action, you can cast the
spell silence once without using a spell slot or spell
components.
Black Bag. As a bonus action, you can speak a
secret command word to open your black bag, an
item linked to numerous extradimensional spaces.
Once the command word is spoken, you can place
items in the bag or retrieve them for up to 1 minute.
Any item placed within the bag is stored in its
own extradimensional space, which is suffused by an
antimagic field. The bag’s mouth is 2 feet in diameter.
It can hold up to 12 items, each weighing no more
than 50 pounds, and weighs as much as the heaviest
object stored within it.
When you retrieve an item from the bag, you
always grab the item you intended.
Cinnabar Compass. As a bonus action, you can
cast the spell locate object once without using a spell
slot or spell components.
Concussive Strike
Starting at 6th level, whenever you score a critical
hit on a melee attack against a creature, the target is
stunned until the beginning of your next turn.
Nothing to See Here
At 10th level, with a blinding flash, you can overwrite
the memories of those around you. You can cast the
spell modify memory once as an action, targeting 3
creatures within range, without using a spell slot or
spell components. You must modify the memories of
each creature affected by the spell in the same way.
Once you use this ability, you can’t use it again
until you finish a long rest.
Containment Dimension
By 14th level, you can leverage a powerful
quarantine procedure to keep others safe from
dangerous artifacts. As an action, you can create a
pocket dimension that is an exact duplicate of your
surroundings at the moment of using this ability—
complete with duplicates of all the structures and
items therein—and transport creatures you choose
within its area to the dimension. You decide the exact
area of the duplicate dimension, as long as its total
space fits within a 150-foot cube.
While in the pocket dimension, you can only affect
and be affected by other creatures in that dimension.
You can’t see creatures and objects outside the pocket
dimension. Objects taken from the pocket dimension
vanish upon leaving it.
The pocket dimension lasts for 10 minutes, and
ends early if it no longer contains living creatures or
8 1: Investigator
mage hand press
you use your action to end it. All creatures and objects
inside the pocket dimension are deposited as near as
possible to their corresponding locations in the real
world when this effect ends.
Once you use this ability, you can’t use it again
until you finish a long rest.
Detective
Prowling at the edge of darkness, detectives
chase down clues and pull on threads to unravel
conspiracies which bring darkness into the world.
Sometimes, this requires that you infiltrate a cult’s
secret meetings, other times it calls on you to
reconstruct a man’s last moments at a murder scene,
but no matter what the mystery, you know that there
is always an explanation.
Investigator’s Hunch
Starting when you choose this specialization at 3rd
level, you gain proficiency in the Investigation skill
and add double your proficiency bonus to checks you
make with it.
Trinkets
By 3rd level, you’ve collected a number of magical
trinkets to aid you in tracking supernatural creatures
and unraveling mysteries. You can use the following
trinkets:
Glass Medallion. As a bonus action, you can cast
the spell invisibility, targeting yourself only, once
without using a spell slot or spell components.
Fogstone Periapt. As a bonus action, you can cast
the spell misty step once without using a spell slot or
spell components.
Skeleton’s Key. As a bonus action, you can cast the
spell knock once without using a spell slot or spell
components.
Predictive Intuition
By 6th level, you can turn your skills at reconstructing
events towards anticipating the next likely moment
of a fight. As a bonus action, you can examine the
movements of a creature you can see within 30 feet.
You can choose to
add 1d4 to your next attack roll targeting that creature
before the start of your next turn, or you can choose
to subtract 1d4 from the creature’s next attack roll
against you before the start of your next turn.
Interrogator’s Instinct
At 10th level, you are so accustomed to uncovering
the truth that you can sense the intents behind
someone’s voice. You can tell if a creature that you can
hear speaking is charmed, possessed, or otherwise
enchanted to speak against their will, and you have
advantage on any ability check you make to determine
if you hear a lie.
Power of Deduction
Starting at 14th level, you can use your action
to examine a creature you can see within 30 feet,
taking note of innumerable details and making
a lengthy string of logical deductions. For the next
minute, you have advantage on Intelligence and
Charisma checks you make to interact with this
creature, and you have advantage on attack rolls
against them.
Once you use this ability, you can’t use it again
until you finish a short or long rest.
Exterminator
An exterminator suffers no monster to live. Trained in
the art of slaying aberrations, fiends, and undead, you
stand against evil where others falter, and draw your
blade before others recognize a threat. Grand schemes
and plots are less important than retribution against
those monsters which stalk the night, and your thirst
for such retribution is unquenchable. There is always
another werewolf to be slain, another vampire to be
staked, another demon to be banished; people rarely
thank you, but you find satisfaction enough in your
work.
Bonus Proficiencies
Starting when you choose this specialization at 3rd
level, you gain proficiency with martial weapons and
medium armor.
Trinkets
By 3rd level, you’ve collected a number of magical
trinkets to aid you in the elimination of monsters
and other fiendish threats. You can use the following
trinkets:
Consecrated Whetstone. As a bonus action, you
can cast the spell magic weapon once without using a
spell slot or spell components.
Gilded Dragon Scale. As a bonus action, you gain
resistance to one damage type of your choice for a
minute.
Wyverntooth Necklace. When you hit a creature
with a melee weapon attack, you can use your bonus
action to activate this trinket, dealing an additional
2d6 acid damage to the creature.
Monster Slayer
Beginning at 6th level, when you use the Attack
action, you can make one weapon attack as a bonus
action. You can use this feature a number of times
equal to your Intelligence modifier (a minimum of
once) and regain all expended uses when you finish a
short or long rest.
Silvered Edge
Starting at 10th level, whenever you deal damage to
a creature with a weapon attack, it can’t regain hit
points until the start of your next turn. Additionally,
when you reduce a creature to 0 hit points, it can’t be
raised as an undead creature nor be returned to life
for 7 days.
Killer Instinct
Starting at 14th level, you can use your Exploit
Weakness feature twice on your turn, but can’t use it
against the same target more than once.
Infernal Agent
Just as noble investigators shield the world from
sinister supernatural forces, infernal agents prowl the
darkness enacting schemes to further supernatural
goals. Though actual devils oversee many infernal
agents, just as many count themselves as operatives of
vampires, lycanthropes, ominous eldritch forces, and
chaos itself. Their rationale and motives might vary,
but all infernal agents seek to disrupt the status quo
that other investigators protect, casting them in stark
contrast and as bitter enemies.
Sinister Emblem
Starting when you choose this specialty at 3rd level,
you manifest a sign of your benefactors, marking you
as one of their number. Choose the Fist, Horns, or
Shadow. Your mark’s appearance reflects the nature of
your benefactors: your Horns might be the devilish
horns of a ram, or appear as vampire’s fangs, or even
eldritch, unblinking eyes.
1: Investigator 9
mage hand press
 Fist. One of your arms grows weighty
with stone or scales, becoming a natural melee
weapon with which you can make slam attacks.
You have proficiency in your slam attack. On a hit,
it deals 1d10 + your Strength modifier bludgeoning
damage, and counts as magical for the purpose of
overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical
attacks and damage.
Additionally, incoming attacks simply bounce off
your arm. As a result, bludgeoning, piercing, and
slashing damage that you take from nonmagical
weapons is reduced by 3.
Horns. You grow a pair of horns, a direct
connection to your benefactor’s malevolent power.
You can cast the following spells without using a
spell slot or spell components: burning hands, charm
person, hellish rebuke, inflict wounds. This spell is
cast at the level shown in the Ritual Level column of
the Investigator table for your level. You can use this
ability to cast a spell twice, and regain all expended
uses when you finish a long rest.
Shadow. Your benefactors snip your shadow
from your body, allowing it to move independently.
Your shadow is a flat creature with 1 HP and 10
AC occupying a 5-foot square. On your turn, you
can command your shadow to move up to your
movement speed (no action required). You can use
your bonus action to command your shadow to make
a melee spell attack. This attack uses your spell attack
bonus to hit and deals 1d6 necrotic damage on a hit.
Additionally, you can use your bonus action to
command your shadow to take the Help action. It can
take this action three times, and regain all expended
uses when you finish a long rest.
Your shadow vanishes if it enters an area of light
created by a spell of 3rd level or higher or if it takes
any damage. Once your shadow vanishes, you can
resummon it at your heels as a bonus action.
Trinkets
By 3rd level, you’ve assembled a collection of cursed
and baneful trinkets to help you achieve your
malevolent goals. You can use the following trinkets:
Broken Ankh. When you hit a celestial, elemental,
or fiend with a melee weapon attack, you can use
your bonus action to activate this trinket, dealing an
additional 2d10 necrotic or radiant damage (your
choice) to the creature.
Diabolical Bubble Gum. As a bonus action, you
can chew on this fiendish treat. Until the beginning
of your next turn, whenever you take damage from
a creature within 5 feet of you, you can deal 2d6 fire
damage to that creature.
Glass Demon’s Eye. You can use your bonus action
to activate this trinket, allowing you to see normally
in darkness, both magical and nonmagical, to a
distance of 120 feet for the next minute.
10 1: Investigator
mage hand press
Kick ‘em While They’re Down
Starting at 6th level, you can capitalize on your foes’
setbacks. Once per turn, you can deal an extra 2d6
damage to one creature you hit with an attack if you
have advantage on the attack roll.
Hide the Body
By 10th level, you can flawlessly conceal the evidence
of your misdeeds. Whenever you commit a murder,
robbery, vandalism, or similar crime, you can spend
10 minutes hiding evidence at the scene. You can
choose to remove all evidence connecting you to the
crime, attempt to conceal the crime itself, or compose
the crime scene to imply a specific conclusion.
Master Plan
By 14th level, you can set up the perfect crime by
planning out its every detail. On your turn, you
can choose a creature or object you can see within
60 feet and use your action to plan. The next attack
roll or ability check you make to enact this plan has
advantage. If you spend 1 minute planning a course
of action, you have advantage on the next three attack
rolls or ability checks you make enacting your plan.
Inquisitor
The church has long been the first line of defense
against the tide of impending darkness. Yet, the
clergy’s stubborn devotion to righteousness impedes
them where it counts: you must sometimes be willing
to do evil to counter evil. That’s where the inquisition
comes in.
As a righteous inquisitor of the faith, you are
tasked with rooting out heresy, exorcising demons,
and stamping out any sign of the occult, and are
offered clemency for any action you take in the
defense of the greater good. You may investigate
anyone or anything you deem to be in line with the
forces of evil, for you alone are a holy blade in the
dark, the arbiter of your church.
Bonus Proficiencies
Starting when you choose this specialization at 3rd
level, you gain proficiency with medium armor.
Exorcist’s Doctrines
Also at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in the Religion
skill and add double your proficiency bonus to checks
you make with it.
Trinkets
By 3rd level, you’ve collected a number of magical
trinkets to help you banish restless spirits and foul
demonic forces. You can use the following trinkets:
Alabaster Balm. As a bonus action, you can cast
the spell lesser restoration once without using a spell
slot or spell components.
 Hallowed Chalice. As a bonus action, you can utter
a prayer and produce a volume of holy water from
this cup sufficient to fill one flask. After 24 hours, this
holy water becomes ordinary water. You can use this
trinket 5 times before its power is expended.
Reliquary of Doubt. As a bonus action, you can
cast the spell detect thoughts once without using a
spell slot or spell components. When casting the
spell in this way, it can only detect thoughts which
are associated with negative emotions, such as guilt,
apprehension, regret, or melancholy.
Divine Strike
At 6th level, you gain the ability to infuse your
weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of
your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon
attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d6
radiant damage to the target.
Rote Piety
Starting at 10th level, you command a mastery of
divine magic seldom seen among the clergy. You can
use your Opportunistic Piety feature three times, and
regain all expended uses when you finish a short or
long rest.
Excommunication
By 14th level, as an action, you can emblazon a
creature you can see within 60 feet with a mark of
religious condemnation. The target must succeed
on your choice of a Constitution or Wisdom saving
throw or be marked for the next minute. While
marked, the creature can’t regain hit points or
have advantage on any attack roll or ability check.
Additionally, whenever the creature takes an action,
it takes 2d6 radiant damage as the mark burns with
radiant light.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again
until you finish a long rest.

Kid Sleuth
Though not all kid sleuths are literally juvenile, they
are all ameteur detectives with a knack for solving
tricky crimes. Assisted by their ubiquitous talking
animal sidekicks, kid sleuths will happily dive into the
details of a grim crime scene to emerge with a handful
of clues and a lead on the bad guy. These sleuths
generally prefer to run away from trouble, rather than
engage it head-on, since mysteries only get harder
to solve with more dead bodies, but they are more
than capable of defending themselves if backed into a
corner.
Trinkets
By 3rd level, you’ve gotten your hands on a number of
useful detective items for solving crimes, mysteries,
and other hijinks.

1: Investigator 11
mage hand press
 Dooby Snack. You produce a tasty meat-
cracker snack as a bonus action. A creature
which eats it on their turn (no action required) is
bolstered for an hour. For this duration, the creature’s
hit point maximum and current hit points increase
by 5.
Magnifying Glass. As a bonus action, you can cast
the spell clue once without using a spell slot or spell
components. Additionally, when you cast this spell,
you can determine the type of each creature that
leaves footprints or fingerprints.
Monster Mask. You can use your bonus action to
activate this item, which reveals the true face of each
creature you can see within 60 feet. A creature which
is concealing its identity using a physical disguise or
mask has this disguise magically tossed away, while
a creature that is magically transformed or disguised
has this magical effect suppressed until the end of
your next turn.
Talking Animal Sidekick
Also at 3rd level, you gain a kid sleuth’s constant
companion: a talking animal sidekick. Your animal
sidekick can be any of the following animals: cat, crab,
deer, goat, lizard, mastiff, owl, rat, raven, or weasel.
This animal can speak Common and has Intelligence,
Wisdom, and Charisma 10.
Your animal sidekick acts independently of you,
but it always obeys your commands. In combat, it
rolls its own initiative and acts on its own turn. An
animal sidekick can’t attack, but it can take other
actions as normal. It can also use its action to sniff out
clues, making an Investigation check with advantage
to find any relevant information you missed.
If you animal sidekick drops to 0 hit points, it is
knocked out instead of being killed. Your animal
sidekick regains all its hit points when you finish a
long rest, and makes its way back to you if it is ever
separated from you.
If you drop to 0 hit points, your animal sidekick
will do its best to protect you from harm.
Run Away
Starting at 6th level, you prefer to flee from monsters
and bad guys until you can pin down their methods,
identities, and motives. Attacks of opportunity against
you have disadvantage.
Split Up, Gang
By 10th level, you’ve discovered that you can cover
a lot more ground if you split up. If you are further
than 60 feet from your allies (excluding your animal
sidekick), you can’t be surprised. Furthermore, if
you drop to 0 hit points while further than 60 feet
from your allies, you drop to 1 hit point instead and
can use your reaction to move up to your movement
speed. Once you use this feature to avoid dropping to
0 hit points, you can’t use it again until you finish a
long rest.
12 1: Investigator
mage hand press
Meddling Kids
At 14th level, as a reaction when you see a hostile
creature within 15 feet attack one of your allies, you
can impose disadvantage on the attack roll.
Medium
As conduits between the living and dead, mediums
offer an essential glimpse past the veil of mortality.
Using their auguries, seances, and divinations,
mediums can retrieve morsels of information from
the afterlife to settle debts with the living or and assist
ongoing investigations. This information, however
cryptic, can point an interested party toward clues or
evidence which only the deceased might be able to
provide.
Fortelling
Starting when you choose this specialization at 3rd
level, you can receive glimpses of the future. When
you finish a long rest, roll two d20s and record the
number rolled. You can replace any attack roll, saving
throw, or ability check made by you or a creature that
you can see with this foretold roll. You must choose to
do so before the roll, and you can replace a roll in this
way only once per turn.
As an action, you can use a use of your Rushed
Incantation ability to make an additional fortelling
roll. You can have up to 3 foretold rolls at one time.
Each foretelling roll can be used only once. When you
finish a long rest, you lose any unused foretelling rolls.
Trinkets
By 3rd level, you’ve collected a number of objects
which help you attune to the afterlife. You can use the
following trinkets:
Dead Ringer. As an action, you can ring this bell
to cast the spell speak with dead once without using
a spell slot or spell components. When you cast this
spell using this trinket, you can ask only one question
of the corpse.
Heptagonal Spectacles. As a bonus action, you can
cast the spell see invisibility once without using a spell
slot or spell components.
Lucent Mirror. You can use your bonus action to
activate this trinket, causing you to phase partially
into the Ethereal Plane for up to 1 minute. For the
duration, you can move through other creatures and
objects as if they were difficult terrain, but you take
1d10 force damage if you end your movement inside
a creature or object. Additionally, you have resistance
to all damage. This effect ends early after you take
damage.
Forewarning Presence
By 6th level, the spirits of the dead guide your hand
when you would falter. You can reroll an attack roll
or ability check you make, and must use the new roll.
Once you use this ability, you can’t use it again until
you finish a short or long rest.

Spy
Infiltration, disguise, and lying through their teeth:
these are the principle skills of a spy. A talented spy
rarely ever needs to draw a dagger to silence someone,
for their honeyed words and agreeable disposition
are all that is needed to draw out someone’s secrets.
Of course, when they do strike, it is decisively and
without warning. Such skills are invaluable for
governments and organizations of all varieties,
for stealing confidential information, sabotage,
monitoring persons of interest, and everything in
between.

you’re not telling the truth. You gain proficiency in

Trinkets
By 3rd level, you have a collection of trinkets which
aid your espionage. You can use the following
trinkets:
Glass Dust. As a bonus action, you can throw this
dust in the air, becoming invisible until the beginning
of your next turn. This effect ends early if you take
damage.
Horn-Rimmed Glasses. As a bonus action, you can
cast the spell disguise self once without using a spell
slot or spell components.
Martini Glass. As a bonus action, you can cast the
spell charm person once without using a spell slot or

Cloak and Dagger
By 6th level, you always endeavor to kill your
target in one strike. When you make an attack
roll against a creature that is surprised or
hasn’t taken a turn in combat yet, you can
maximize your weapon’s damage die.
Shaken Not Stirred
Starting at 10th level, your roguish smile grants
you incredible leeway. Whenever you fail a Charisma
(Deception) or Charisma (Persuasion) check, you can
reroll the check, and must use the results of the new
roll.
Once you use this ability, you can’t use it again
until you finish a long rest.
Body Double
By 14th level, you can rapidly exchange identities with
a corpse. When you reduce a humanoid creature to 0
hit points, you can assume the creature’s appearance,
as per disguise self. The creature’s body, as well as
its blood, clothing, and other physical evidence of
its death, become invisible for 8 hours. You can also
use this ability as an action to touch the corpse of a

than 1 day, assuming its appearance and causing the
body to become invisible.

hours. You can hold 3 truenames in your mind one
time; learning an additional truename causes you to
forget the oldest trueame you have learned. You can’t
capture the truename of a demiplane or the domain of
