Using ancient magic, they bind spiritual entities within Idols, and once bound, focus their spiritual power on friend and foe. #### Idolater Spells _Source: Shaman Expanded_ *2nd-level Idolater feature* You always have certain spells prepared at the Shaman levels in the table below. The spells count as Shaman spells for you, but they do not count against the spells you prepare each day: **Idolater Spells** | Shaman Level | Spells | |--------------|--------| | 2nd | [bless](/3-Content/Compendiums/spells/bless-xphb.md), [fog cloud](/3-Content/Compendiums/spells/fog-cloud-xphb.md) | | 3rd | healing spirit, [spike growth](/3-Content/Compendiums/spells/spike-growth-xphb.md) | | 5th | [beacon of hope](/3-Content/Compendiums/spells/beacon-of-hope-xphb.md), [sleet storm](/3-Content/Compendiums/spells/sleet-storm-xphb.md) | | 7th | [aura of life](/3-Content/Compendiums/spells/aura-of-life-xphb.md), [summon construct (stone)](/3-Content/Compendiums/spells/summon-construct-xphb.md) | | 9th | [antilife shell](/3-Content/Compendiums/spells/antilife-shell-xphb.md), control winds | ^idolater-spells ### Totemic Idol (Level 2) You have learned to craft powerful Idols. You gain proficiency in mason's tools, and over the course of 1 hour, which can be during a short or long rest, you can craft an Idol. You can only have one Idol. Crafting another destroys all other Idols. The Idol is a Small stone object with an Armor Class equal to your Shaman Spell save DC and hit points equal to 10 + your Shaman level. It is resistant to non-magical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage. As an action, you can plant this Idol on a flat, unoccupied surface and cast a Shaman spell with a casting time of one action or bonus action that requires concentration. The effect of the spell occurs as normal, but you do not need to concentrate on it. If the spell has a target of self, the effect of the spell is centered on the Idol. The spell is active until that Idol is destroyed, or you use your action to move it. If a target of the spell moves more than 60 feet away from the Idol, the effects of the spell end for it. ### Spiritual Vortex (Level 6) *6th-level Idolater feature* Your Totemic Idol magnifies your spiritual power. While your stone Idol is planted in the ground, you can target it with your Totemic Assault. In place of its normal effects, all creatures of your choice within 20 feet of the Idol must make a Charisma saving throw or suffer the effects of Totemic Assault. In addition, while planted, your Totemic Idol is immune to all non-magical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage. ### Guardian Idol (Level 10) *10th-level Idolater feature* In times of great need, the Spirits within your Totemic Idol will come to your aid. As an action, you can cast the [summon construct (stone)](/3-Content/Compendiums/spells/summon-construct-xphb.md) spell on your Totemic Idol, bringing it to life. When you do so, the spell gains the following benefits: - You do not expend a spell slot, but the spell is cast at the level of your Conduit Magic spell slots. - The Idol replaces the spell's normal material component. - The spell does not require your concentration. - You can use Spiritual Vortex on the Guardian Idol. - The Guardian Idol gains temporary hit points equal to the hit points your Totemic Idol had when you cast this spell. When this spell ends or your Guardian Idol is destroyed, your Totemic Idol is destroyed along with it, and you can only have a single instance of [summon construct (stone)](/3-Content/Compendiums/spells/summon-construct-xphb.md) active at a time. ### High Idolater (Level 14) *14th-level Idolater feature* You have mastered the ancient and powerful magic of Idols. You can have up to two Totemic Idols at once, though each Idol must be crafted individually. They can also both be active at one time, each concentrating on a single spell. You can only have one Guardian Idol. Finally, when one of your Idols or a Guardian Idol is destroyed, creatures of your choice within 30 feet of it must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw against your Shaman Spell save DC or suffer the effects of Totemic Assault. On a success, they suffer half damage, but none of the additional effects.
