SCHOOL OF TYPHOMANCY

Wizard Subclass
It is an open secret that wizarding apprentices often take up pipe
smoking before graduation. Tradition and peer pressure play
roles in this trend, but also the practice of Typhomancy, or
smoke magic, which wizards can practice by blowing
elaborate shapes in puffs of smoke. A few even go on
to specialize in this field of magic, mastering every
spell that can channel smoke or fog and learning to
generate magically-animated smoke creatures from their
eversmoking pipes. Masters of the form can even create
smoky near-duplicates of dragons, giants, golems, and
even themselves.
TRANQUIL DEMEANOR Art by Pedro Krüger
When you adopt this tradition at 2nd level, your
habitual pipeweed has calmed your demeanor. You
have advantage on saving throws you make to avoid
or end the frightened condition on yourself, and
you have advantage on Charisma checks you make
directed at creatures that you share your pipe with.
EVERSMOKING PIPE
Also at 2nd level, you add the spell fog cloud to your
spellbook if it is not there already. Additionally, you
enchant a pipe to produce an unending supply of thick
smoke, colored as you choose. You can use your bonus action
to blow a puff of the pipe’s smoke into any shape you choose that
can fit in a 1-foot cube. A wind of moderate or greater speed (at
least 10 miles per hour) disperses the pipe’s smoke.
You can also use your bonus action to blow a puff of the
pipe’s smoke into a magical Beast form, choosing from the
options below. You can use this feature to blow the pipe’s smoke
into a Beast form a number of times equal to your proficiency
bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long
rest.
