Disciple

A Kethie woman strides calmly through a forest glade, smirking as she subtly grips her sheathed blade. She closes her eyes as brigands leap from the surrounding brush. Before they can even shout their demands, the woman's blade makes a wide arc at the group. Each brigand manages to barely dodge her preemptive strike, but their movements suddenly stop as they start to draw their blades. A large wound appears across each of their torsos where her blade had grazed them, and then they slump to the ground.
Atop a grassy plateau, a lone human figure stands in total focus amidst a swarm of hovering spectral blades. Like a masterful conductor, the figure directs the blades to fluidly strike the targets painted on the stones around. With a quiet whisper of pride, the figure recalls the blades before willing them to fall to dust and blow away with the wind.
A battle rages upon a blood-soaked field overlooked by a regal keep. In its center, stands a lone battle-worn minotaur fighting for his life. A pair of hulking spectral arms sprout from his back, allowing the tiefling to wield four axes at once. He charges into a group of soldiers, wreathing himself in flames as the lone figure carves into the enemy line. Each step taken could be his last, yet the tiefling fights with the widest of grins.
Although these warriors fight using a diverse range of extraordinary methods, they are all disciples. Disciples are defined by their mystical fighting styles and the introspective focus that gives purpose to their training. For a disciple, combat is a conduit of self-improvement, and battlefields exist to test the strength of ideals.
The key to a disciple's magic prowess is awareness and focus. Every movement a creature makes causes a small, nearly imperceptible ripple across elements of the weave of magic. Using their ideals as an anchor for their focus, disciples enter a state of utter clarity where they can perceive and read these ripples, ultimately utilizing the power within these ripples—called tempo—to fuel their mystical techniques. As a disciple grows and solidifies their grasp on their ideals, their ability to maintain this focus increases drastically, improving their martial abilities.
A disciple's ideals are represented in their fighting style by the sublime disciplines they follow. While some disciples discover these paths themselves, others learn them from masters of the art. Each sublime discipline holds one ideal above all others, and it serves as the anchor for the tempo techniques of that discipline. As a result, combat using these disciplines is a form of self expression and an opportunity to refine one's philosophy. The danger and rigor of the battlefield provides the perfect situation to test the disciple's focus, their understanding of themselves, and their values.
Because of this predisposition towards experience and conflict, it is rare you'll find a disciple that stays in one place for too long, or subsisting under the yoke of military regulation. They are natural wanderers, and tend to flock towards interesting people that may lead them to greater challenges and adventures. Such people often prove to be worthy rivals and life-long friends for the wandering disciple: the perfect sparks to ignite the flames of inspiration.
To a disciple, survival is often secondary to growth. To that end, you may yet find disciples working as sellswords or mercenaries in an attempt to find new conflicts to test themselves. Each and every fight is an opportunity to push past one's limits, and test not only ability, but also their willpower and determination. The path of the disciple is one filled with decision. Each must decide which disciplines to pursue and which to discard, as the path to perfection is littered with broken philosophies and weak hearts.

It is immune to poison damage, psychic damage, and all conditions. If it is forced to make an ability check or a saving throw, treat all its ability scores as 10. The area within 10 feet of the dragon is considered difficult terrain. As a bonus action on subsequent turns, you can make the dragon move up to 15 feet. If you summon the dragon within 5 feet of a creature, and as a reaction whenever a creature moves within 5 feet of it, you can cause the dragon to make a melee spell attack against that creature. On a hit, it deals an amount of magical piercing damage equal to 1d8 + your Wisdom modifier, and the target’s speed is halved until the end of the turn.

Roots of the Earth (2nd Level). When an effect would knock you prone or move you against your will, you can spend 1 tempo point to hook into the earth. Until the end of your next turn, you can't be knocked prone or moved against your will, including against the original effect.

Mountain Hammer (5th Level). When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can spend 2 tempo points to embed it into a fissure below it. The target must make a Strength saving throw. On a failure, the target is knocked prone. If the target is already prone, it is instead restrained until the end of its next turn.

Earthbound (11th Level). As an action, you can spend 3 tempo points to petrify yourself until the start of your next turn. While petrified in this way, any damage you take is halved, and your form can't be changed. Additionally, the earth around your feet attempts to encase those around you. Each creature within 15 feet of you must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, that creature is restrained until the end of your next turn.

Breath of Ages (17th Level). As an action, you can spend 5 tempo points to exhale an eroding mist that originates from either you or your Dragon Sentinel. All creatures in a 60-foot cone, which spreads around corners, must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the creature's body becomes heavy and sluggish until the end of your next turn. For the duration, the creature's speed is halved, and it can't use reactions. On its turn, it can use either an action or a bonus action, not both. Regardless of the creature's abilities or magic items, it can't make more than one melee or ranged attack during its turn. Once per turn, when you hit a sluggish creature with a melee weapon attack, you can force it to make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the target becomes petrified until the end of your next turn.

Journey of the Collector

Most often the Journey of the Conjurer begins with a recurrent dream of an infinite field littered with weaponry from across the ages. Within this space you are free to use and manipulate, form and reform the weaponry and landscape as you see fit, perpetually in pursuit of the perfect arsenal. This dream repeats, becoming more and more lucid until you awaken amidst a cloud of flying armaments that flow along to your whims, and from that day each weapon you touch, and each alteration you make in your dreams, will reflect in your control over your magical arsenal.

Bound Arsenal

Journey of the War God

A disciple who follows the Journey of the War God is unmistakable on the battlefield by the manifestation of their soul fighting alongside them, often taking the form of spectral arms or a looming figure at their back. The influence of tempo can reach further than most would think; after all, everything moves, even your own spirit. Disciples that define themselves by intense emotions, or a need to prove their own self worth, can develop a sensitivity to the movements of their soul. After enough time, the disciple gains the ability to summon and wield this element of their soul in combat. Legends speak of disciples that attain definite control, and ultimately learn to harness the divine spark that resides within them.

Spirit of the War God. When you choose this journey at 3rd level, your passion can call forth the part of your soul that revels in the glory of battle. As a bonus action or when you roll initiative, you can manifest or dismiss two spectral arms that are connected to your upper body. When summoned, and on each of your turns thereafter, each arm can perform an object interaction, such as drawing a weapon. You can control these arms easily, and they act just like your other arms. As an action, you can make a single attack with each melee weapon you and your spectral arms are wielding (up to 4 attacks). You don't add your ability modifier to the damage of these rolls, unless that modifier is negative. When wielding a two-handed weapon, your spirit arms must hold the weapon with both hands at all times. At 5th level, you add your ability modifier to the damage rolls of weapons you are wielding with your hands to up to two of your attacks, At 11th level, you also add your ability modifier to the damage rolls of weapons your spirit arms are wielding.

Cosmic Presence. At 7th level, your connection to your inner self has granted you greater presence. When you make a Charisma (Intimidation) or Charisma (Persuasion) check, you can add your Wisdom modifier to the roll instead of your Charisma modifier. Additionally, as an action, you can amplify your presence a hundred fold. Creatures of your choice within 60 feet of you must succeed on a Charisma saving throw against your tempo save DC or become aware of your presence. For the next 10 minutes, you have advantage on all Wisdom and Charisma checks made against those creatures. You can use this action a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, regaining expended uses at the end of a long rest.

Encroaching Omniscience. At 11th level, your soul becomes your vigil, as the shapes of faces can be traced around your head. Whenever you make an attack as a part of a reaction, you can make an additional attack with one of your spectral arms. Additionally, once on each of your turns when you miss with a weapon attack, you can make an additional weapon attack with a weapon being wielded by your spectral arms as part of the same action.

Lens of Truth. At 14th level, your sight ascends towards the sight of the Three. You can see clearly in normal and magical darkness out to 120 feet, as well as into the Ethereal Plane. You can see the true form of any shapechanger or creature concealed by illusion or transmutation magic while the creature is within this range and within line of sight.

Shard of Divinity. At 18th level, you have fully reconnected with your soul, unlocking the divine power within it. You have resistance to damage from weapon attacks, and any damage you deal with a weapon attack or tempo technique ignores resistance and immunities. You can no longer die from old age, and your soul cannot be stolen, trapped or destroyed, nor can you be unwillingly raised as an undead, except by divine intervention.
