Shaman

WIS is your spellcasting ability for your Shaman spells. Your magic comes from channeling connections from your ancestors. You use your WIS whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your WIS 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 WIS modifier

Spell attack modifier = your Proficiency Bonus + your WIS modifier

Choose a number of spells from any class that are not limited to a single class (Such as a Paladin’s Divine Smite) equal to your WIS modifier (Minimum 1) + half your Shaman level, rounded down (Minimum 1). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

When you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the spells you know and replace it with another appropriate spell, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Your ancestors reached out and taught you many things. You learn a total of three skills and/or languages.

You have a special connection to the dead. As you help them move on and honor them, they teach you the skills they knew in life. Once per long rest you can touch a deceased creature that has died within one week and gain proficiency with one skill, language, tool, or learn one spell it knew in life. You can only have one piece of knowledge at a time, when you learn a new one, you forget the old one. If you do not share a language with the target the creature will only be able to communicate feelings of sadness and regret.

You can check the knowledge of the recently deceased to evaluate any potential skills. You can analyse the knowledge of the deceased times per long rest equal to your WIS modifier (Minimum 1) by making a DC 14 Religion check. If you fail the Religion check the deceased simply tells you the skill they used most in life.
