Shaman
A troll clad in loosely chained together plates and scales reaches her hand high towards storm clouds overhead. After a moment, a blinding streak of lightning arcs from the clouds to her hand, and from there it is sent arcing towards her enemies.
A pair of spectral wolves pursue a bandit captain through the forest. Emerging from behind them, another wolf of similar visage. The third wolf leaps at the bandit before shifting into a dwarf, wielding two fearsome axes. One dripping molten lava, the other crackling with blisteringly cold ice.
A brave orc strides towards Southshore from Tarren Mill. He raises his hands and begins to call water from a nearby river as he begins to shape it into restorative magic to heal the wounds of his allies as they battle the Alliance.
Shamans are mediators between the mortal world and the elements. They often act as spiritual guides and witch doctors in their communities. They are able to call to the spiritual realm as well, and because of that, pull knowledge and traditions from generations past. They are able to fill several roles within an adventuring group. Calling water and the tides to aid and heal their allies, or imbuing their weapons with elemental fury, and even firing bolts of lightning and calling down torrents of wind and fire on their enemies.
Elemental Callers
A Shaman's bond to their magic is unique. While a mage would study it in great depth, and a warlock would bend those same powers to their whim, a shaman calls upon the elements themselves for aid. They commune with forces not strictly benevolent -- sometimes they may respond, and sometimes they may choose not to. The elements are chaotic, chained away in their elemental plane as they rage against one another with unending primal fury. It is the call of the shaman to bring balance to this chaos.
These masters of the elements can also call upon elemental forces directly, unleashing torrents of lava and bolts of lightning against foes. The elements can create, destroy, support, and hinder. An experienced shaman balances the vast spectrum of these primordial forces into an array of diverse abilities, making shaman versatile adventurers and valued members of any group.
Creating a Shaman
When creating a shaman, consider how your bond with the elements have affected your personality and your view of the world. Although shamans resonate with all four primary elements, some tend to outwardly display aspects of one over the rest.
Think about your bond with your totems and how they represent the elemental planes from which you gain your power. Are they simply tools to you for channelling raw planar power, or are they sacred and worthy of reverence?
Do they act as representations of a favored element, or do you use them to keep that element in check? How a shaman perceives their connection to the elemental planes is often reflected in the totems they summon forth.

Kalimag
You know Kalimag, the language of elementals. You can speak the language and use it to leave messages in rocks and pools of water that only you, other shamans, and elementals can spot. The messages are spoken as through a sending spell, with the limitations that come with that spell.
Spellcasting
Drawing on the elements themselves, you can manifest them into casting spells. See chapter 10 of the Player's Handbook for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 6 of this book for the shaman spell list.
Cantrips
You know two cantrips of your choice from the shaman spell list. You learn additional shaman cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Shaman table.
Spell Slots
The Shaman 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 spell slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher
You know four 1st-level spells of your choice from the shaman spell list.
The Spells Known column of the Shaman table shows when you learn more shaman spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 3rd level in this class, you learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the shaman spells you know and replace it with another spell from the shaman spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
Spellcasting Ability
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your shaman spells, since your power comes from the elements and spirits. You use your Wisdom whenever a shaman spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a shaman 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 a shaman spell you know as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag.
Spellcasting Focus
You can use an elemental focus as a spellcasting focus for your shaman spells.
Totems
Starting at 2nd level, as an action, you can channel elemental forces into a Small totem in an empty space on a horizontal surface within 5 feet of you. You are able to summon any of the totems that you meet the prerequisites for. Totem descriptions are at the end of the class description.
The totem is a magical object that occupies its space. It has an AC of 15 and a number of hit points equal to twice your shaman level. 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 (+0). The totem disappears if it is reduced to 0 hit points or after 1 minute. You can dismiss it early as a bonus action. As a bonus action, you can move any totems you have summoned to an unoccupied space within 30 feet of them as long as it is still within 60 feet of you.
You are able to summon up to 3 totems and must finish a short or long rest before you are able to summon any more totems. Some totems cannot be summoned more than once between long rests or until you reach a certain level in this class, as detailed at the end of the class description.
Elemental Attunement
Starting at 2nd level, you attune yourself to a force of the elemental planes. Choose one of the following options. You cannot take an Elemental Attunement option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.
Attunement of Air
Your movement speed is increased by 5 feet and you may add your proficiency bonus to your initiative.
At 9th level, you gain resistance to lightning damage and an additional 5 feet of movement.
Attunement of Earth
You gain proficiency in Constitution saving throws.
At 9th level, you gain resistance to acid damage and whenever you take bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage by an amount equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of one).
Attunement of Fire
Once per turn when you hit a creature with an attack, you can cause that attack to deal additional fire damage equal to your proficiency bonus.
At 9th level, you gain resistance to fire damage and can now deal additional fire damage once per turn with an attack equal to 1d8 + your proficiency bonus.
Attunement of Water
You know a number of additional shaman spells of 1st level or higher equal to your proficiency bonus.
At 9th level, you gain resistance to cold damage and whenever you restore hit points to a creature with a spell of 1st level or higher, you regain a number of hit points equal to 2 + the spell level.
Totemic Path
When you reach 3rd level, a spiritual awakening guides you along a path of shamanism. Choose one of the following totemic paths: Elementalism, Enhancement, or Restoration.
Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th, 14th, and 20th level.
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.
Spirit Beast
At 5th level, you earn the favor of a spirit beast and are able to assume its spectral visage. Choose a Medium or Small beast without a fly or swim speed to represent your spirit.
You can use your action to assume the illusionary visage of your spirit beast. This visage has no effect on your game statistics except changing your movement speed to 50 feet.
You remain transformed until you cast a spell, make an attack, or use your bonus action to revert back to yourself.
Totem Mastery
Starting at 10th level, you are more attuned to the elemental and spiritual nature of the universe. You are able to place totems in unoccupied spaces within 30 feet of you now as a bonus action. Your totems also gain additional effects depending on your Totemic Path or Elemental Attunement. Totems you summon now benefit from the Totem Boost feature listed in the totem's description as long as you are of the same Totemic Path or Elemental Attuenement as the boost. A totem can only gain one boost, even if you meet the prerequisite for more than one boost. Any totem that benefits from a Totemic Boost also now has a radius of 30 feet if its normal radius was 15 feet.
Call of the Elements
At 18th level, you are able to channel powerful elemental magic through yourself to replenish some of your strength. As a 1 minute ritual, you can draw power from the elements and regain all expended uses of your Totems feature, up to one totem that recharges on a short or long rest, and a number of spell slots with a combined level that is equal to or less than half your shaman level (rounded up), and none of the slots can be 6th level or higher.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

As an action, you can expend a number of charges equal to your proficiency bonus or less to cause a violent explosion at a point you can see within 60 feet. Creatures within 5 feet of the point must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 1d10 lightning damage per charge you expended, or half as much damage on a success.
Echo of the Elements
At 6th level, when you roll damage for a shaman spell, totem, or feature, you may reroll a number of dice up to your Wisdom modifier and use either roll.

| 3 | Spells you cast with a spell attack roll score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20 on the D20. |

Farcasting Totem
When you plant this totem, you can either infuse it with a shaman cantrip that you know or spend a spell slot to infuse it with a shaman spell that you know.
While planted, you can cast the infused spell as though you were in the totem’s space, though you must use your own senses. If the spell has a range of touch, you can cast it on a target that you can see within 15 feet of the totem. If the spell has a range of self, you can choose a willing creature that you can see within 15 feet of the totem and treat it as if it were the caster. If the spell requires concentration, you must maintain concentration on it.
This totem lasts up to 1 hour. The totem is dismissed early when you cast the infused spell, unless the spell is a cantrip. Once you plant this totem, you can't plant it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Attunement of Air Boost: Quickened Spell. If the infused spell has a casting time of 1 action, you can instead cast it as a bonus action.
Grace of Air Totem
