Regional effects
The region containing the unicorn’s lair is warped by the unicorn’s magic, which creates one or more of the following effects:
Open flames of a non magical nature are extinguished within the unicorn’s domain. Torches and campfires refuse to burn, but closed lanterns are unaffected.
Creatures native to the unicorn’s domain have an easier time hiding; they have advantage on all Stealth checks made to avoid notice.
When a good-aligned creature casts a spell or uses a magical effect that causes another good-aligned creature to regain health, the target regains the maximum amount of health possible for the spell or effect.
Curses affecting any good-aligned creature are suppressed.
If the unicorn dies, these effects end immediately.
Maneuvers
As an action, make a melee weapon attack against a creature after you move at least 3 meters straight toward it.
On a hit, add the stamina die to the attack’s damage and if the creature is your size or smaller, the creature must succeed on a Reflex saving throw or you can push it 2 meters away from you and knock it prone.
On a critical hit, add twice as much damage.
On a miss by 4 or less, add half as much damage.
Enhance
You can increase the damage, target a creature of a larger size, and push the creature an additional 1 meter for each additional stamina die expended.
As an action, make a weapon attack to knock the creature back.
On a hit, add the stamina die to the attack’s damage and if the creature is your size or smaller, it must succeed on a Reflex saving throw or you push it 4 meters away from you.
On a critical hit, add twice as much damage.
On a miss by 4 or less, add half as much damage.
Enhance
You can increase the damage, push the creature an additional meter, and target a creature of a larger size for each additional stamina die expended.
As an action, you can use the Dash action. If you move at least 3 meters straight toward a creature, you can make a melee weapon attack against it.

On a critical hit, add twice as much damage.

If you use a Brawn check to Overrun a creature during this movement and your check passes the creature’s passive Brawn or Nimbleness (if it chooses to avoid you), it takes bludgeoning damage equal to the stamina die and is knocked prone. If you fail to Overrun by 4 or less, the creature takes half as much bludgeoning damage, but isn’t knocked prone.
Enhance
You can increase the damage for each additional stamina die expended.
Spells
concentration, 5 minutes/mana
As an action, you know if there is an aberration, celestial, elemental, fey, fiend, or undead within 5 meters of you, as well as where the creature is located. Similarly, you know if there is a place or object within 5 meters of you that has been magically consecrated or desecrated.
The spell can penetrate most barriers, but it is blocked by 30 centimeters of stone, 2 centimeters of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 1 meter of wood or dirt.
concentration, 1 minute/mana
As an action, you ensnare a creature that you can touch or see within 10 meters with a writhing mass of thorny vines that wrap around it. The creature must make a Reflex saving throw.
On a failure, it is restrained for the duration.
A creature restrained by the vines, or one that can touch the creature, can use an action to make a Brawn or Nimbleness check (its choice) against your spell save Difficulty.
On a success, the target is freed.
Augment
You can expend 1 or more mana so while restrained by this spell, the creature takes 2d8 bludgeoning damage at the start of each of its turns for each additional mana expended.
You can target one additional creature for each additional mana expended. The creatures must be within 5 meters of each other when you target them.
(ritual)
As an action, describe or name a specific kind of plant. You learn the direction and distance to the closest plant of that kind within 10 kilometers, if any are present.
1 hour/mana
As an action, a veil of shadows and silence covers you, masking you from detection. For the duration, you have advantage on Stealth checks and can’t be tracked except by magical means. A creature that receives this bonus leaves behind no tracks or other traces of its passage.
Augment
You can expend 1 additional mana so each creature you choose within 5 meters of you (including you) has advantage on Stealth checks and can’t be tracked except by magical means.
As an action, a creature that you can touch or see within 10 meters regains 1d6 + your spellcasting ability health immediately and again at the end of its next turn. This spell has no effect on constructs or undead.
Augment
You can increase the healing by 2d6 for each additional mana expended.
concentration, 1 minute/mana
As two actions, shimmering energy surrounds and protects you from fey, undead, and creatures originating from beyond the Material Plane. For the duration, celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, and undead have disadvantage on attacks made against you.
You can end the spell early by using either of the following special functions.
Break Enchantment. As two actions, you touch a creature you can reach that is charmed, frightened, or possessed by a celestial, an elemental, a fey, a fiend, or an undead. The creature you touch is no longer charmed, frightened, or possessed by such creatures.
Dismissal. As two actions, a celestial, an elemental, a fey, a fiend, or an undead within 10 meters must make a Will saving throw.
On a failure, the creature is sent back to its home plane (if it isn’t there already). If they aren’t on their home plane, undead are sent to the Shadowfell, and fey are sent to the Feywild.
concentration, 1 minute/mana
As two actions, grasping weeds and vines sprout from the ground in a sphere centered on a point within 20 meters. For the duration, these plants turn the ground in the area into difficult terrain.
A creature that enters the spell’s area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there must make a Reflex saving throw. A creature that starts its turn in the area and is already restrained by the vines takes 2d6 slashing damage.
On a failure, it takes 1d6 slashing damage and is restrained for the duration.
On a critical failure, it takes twice as much damage.
On a success, it takes half as much damage.
On a critical success, it takes no damage.
At the start of each of your turns if the vines are within 20 meters of you, you can cause them to move up to 2 meters in a direction that you choose. If you spend an action, you can move them up to 10 meters.
A creature restrained by the vines, or one that can touch the creature, can use an action to make a Brawn or Nimbleness check (its choice) against your spell save Difficulty.
On a success, the target is freed.
When the spell ends, the conjured plants wilt away.
Augment
You can increase the damage by 1d6 for each additional mana expended.
