Akasha Expanded: Kheshig and Volur Options (Patreon)

Sphere Kheshig (Kheshig Archetype)

Casting: The sphere kheshig may combine spheres and talents to create magical effects. The sphere kheshig is considered a Low-Caster. (Note: All casters gain 2 bonus talents and may select a casting tradition the first time they gain the casting class feature.)

This replaces the kheshig’s veilweaving class feature and essence pool.

Spell Pool: The sphere kheshig gains a small reservoir of energy they can call on to create truly wondrous effects, called a spell pool. This pool contains a number of spell points equal to their level + their casting ability modifier (minimum: 1). This pool replenishes once per day after roughly 8 hours of rest.

Magic Talents: A sphere kheshig gains 1 magic talent every time they gain a caster level. This does not stack with caster levels gained from other sources.

Veilweaver: At 1st level, the sphere kheshig gains the Veilweaving sphere and the Kheshig’s Tradition advanced talent as bonus talents and treats their sphere kheshig levels as levels in a Mid-Caster when determining their caster level for the Veilweaving sphere. This stacks with caster levels gained from other sources. If they already have either of these talents, they may select a Veilweaving talent of their choice to replace either duplicate.

New Optional Rule: Steady Veils

When using this rule, every veil with a saving throw gains the Steady descriptor.

Sidebar: Steady

Veils with the Steady descriptor have the save DC of their abilities function differently than normal veils. Rather than being 10 + the amount of essence invested in the veil + your veilweaving modifier, the veil’s DC is 10 + ½ your veilweaving level + your veilweaving modifier. If the veil states that it gains a bonus to the veil’s DC via any essence invested in it, it gains those effects normally.

New Optional Rule: Unsteady Veils

When using this rule, all veils with the Steady descriptor lose that descriptor and instead use the normal saving throw DCs for veils (10 + essence invested + your veilweaving modifier).

Advanced Magic: Veilweaving Sphere

Tradition Talents

Some advanced Veilweaving talents are marked with (tradition). A character may only possess a single (tradition) talent from the Veilweaving sphere at any time.
