Wayfarer Ciqueliste

Courseur philosophy encourages physical fitness so that one’s swift movements can inspire rapid progress and innovation. No group combines these two aspects of the ideology more flamboyantly than the Wayfarer Cirquelistes, a group of acrobatic performers in a traveling circus who can use their movement to fuel magic, with a particular penchant for teleportation.

Prerequisite: Brook No Delay feat, proficiency in Acrobatics, Arcana, and Athletics, must have trained with the Wayfarers Cirque, character level 7th

Wayfarer’s Athleticism

You can double your proficiency bonus when making Acrobatics and Athletics checks. Your base speed increases by 5 feet.

Wayfarer’s Kineticism

You can create and empower magic through movement.

Whenever you move at least 20 feet on your turn, you gain a “step” of power. If you move more than your speed on your turn (such as by taking the Dash action or flinging yourself with a trebuchet), you gain an additional step of power. This gathered power lasts until you spend it or until you finish your turn and have not moved at
least 20 feet, and you can have up to a maximum of three steps of power stored at a time.

Holding this power over a long period of time is perilous, so you only gather steps of power when you are clearly in danger. You start each encounter with zero steps of power, even if you were moving just before the encounter begins.

You can spend steps in the following ways.

• Without using an action, spend one step to gain the effects of freedom of movement until the end of your next turn.
• Without using an action, when you are endangered by something triggered by your movement like a trap or hazard, spend one step to gain advantage on a Dexterity saving throw or impose disadvantage on an attack roll against you.
• Spend one step to cast misty step as an action, or two steps to cast it as a bonus action. Instead of being transported in silvery mist, however, your departure and arrival points are marked with a harmless burst of flame that lingers in the shape of your body. Often cirquelistes will teleport in the middle of acrobatic flips, appreciating the aesthetic of leaving dramatic flaming afterimages of their movement.
• When you or an ally you can see casts a spell, spend two steps to modify that spell with one of the following sorcerer Metamagic abilities: Distant Spell, Empowered Spell, or Persistent Spell. You can use your Dexterity modifier in place of your Charisma modifier for this effect.
