Gastronomer

Level 3

Become a Wizard of Gourmet Food

Gastronomy, the oft-satirized subschool of food-related magic, is rarely taught to wizardly apprentices, for even masters of Transmutation can be terrible at cuisine. However, Gastronomy is a nourishing magic which spans all cultures, and is more of an art than an arcane tradition. Your studies have not only taught you the fundamentals of magical cooking, but also how to cook monsters into delicious, nutritious meals.

Sous Chef

Your expertise in cooking grants you the following benefits.

Cook's Utensils

You gain Cook's Utensils and proficiency with them. Additionally, you can use Cook's Utensils as a Spellcasting Focus for your Wizard spells.

Magical Ingredients

You can cast Create Food and Water without a spell slot. The resulting food consists of nutritious ingredients of your choice. Once you cast the spell using this benefit, you can't do so again until you finish a Long Rest.

Monster Meal

As part of a Short or Long Rest, you can prepare and eat a special meal if you have ingredients and Cook's Utensils. You can prepare enough food for a number of creatures equal to half your Wizard level plus your Intelligence modifier. A creature that eats the food at the end of the Short or Long Rest gains the following benefits.

Temporary Hit Points

The creature gains Temporary Hit Points equal to your Wizard level.

Monster Ingredients

When you prepare the meal, you can add one ingredient taken from a monster, granting a creature that eats the meal a special benefit shown on the Monster Ingredients table based on the ingredient's creature type until it finishes a Long Rest. A monster ingredient uses the entire corpse of a creature that has been slain within the last 24 hours or preserved with the Gentle Repose spell.

Monster Ingredients

Creature Type	Benefit
Aberration	Strange Sushi. Any Critical Hit against you becomes a normal hit.
Celestial	Heavenly Trifle. The creature can add 1d4 to attack rolls and saving throws it makes.
Dragon	Wyvern Wings. The creature has +2 bonus to AC.
Elemental	Maelstrom Stew. The creature's Speed increases by 10 feet.
Fey	Pixie Sticks. The creature has Immunity to the Charmed and Frightened conditions.
Fiend	Diablo Barbeque. The creature has Resistance to Cold and Fire damage.
Giant	Colossal Steak. The creature has Advantage on ability checks and saving throws using Strength.
Monstrosity	Dire Sandwich. The target's Hit Point maximum and current Hit Points increase by 5 for the duration.
Ooze	Gelatinous Soup. The creature has Blindsight with a range of 10 feet.
Plant	Treant Salad. Difficult Terrain doesn't cost the creature extra movement.

Arcane Condiments

Level 6

When you make a XPHB, you can cast Comprehend Languages, Darkvision, Longstrider, Nondetection, See Invisibility, or Water Breathing to create a magical condiment. You must have the spell prepared and expend a spell slot as normal. Each creature that partakes in the XPHB gains the benefit of the spell until it finishes a Short or Long Rest.

Heroic Snacks

Level 10

You can cast Heroes' Feast without a spell slot or Material components. When you cast the spell using this feature, the spell is modified so that its casting time is an action and it creates a number of Heroic Snacks equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one). A creature can eat a Heroic Snack as a Bonus Action to gain the benefits of the Heroes' Feast spell, which last for 1 hour.

Once you use this feature to cast Heroes' Feast, you can't use it again to do so until you finish a Long Rest.

Five-Star Condiments

Level 14

When you make a XPHB, you can cast Blur, Enlarge/Reduce, Fly, Invisibility, or Protection from Energy to create a superior magical condiment. You must have the spell prepared and expend a spell slot as normal. Each creature that partakes in the XPHB gains the benefit of the spell until it finishes a Short or Long Rest. You maintain Concentration on the spell for each affected creature, and the spell ends for all creatures if you lose Concentration.
