Somnomancer

Level 3

Lull Your Enemies to Sleep

Somnomancy is the arcane subschool of sleep and dreams. As a Somnomancer, your magic can calm a rampaging creature into a stupor, shape the dreams of others, and hypnotize those around you. Few other mages recognize this school's value, however, and believe most Somnomancers are merely sleeping on the job.

Somnambulist

Your mastery over sleep magic has rendered you a persistent sleep-walker. If you're Unconscious and have at least 1 Hit Point, you ignore all the effects of that condition; instead, your Speed is halved and you have Disadvantage on D20 Tests while you have the condition. You can use this feature to perform light activity, such as copying spells into your spellbook, while you're asleep without interrupting a Long Rest.

Deep Sleep

Add the Sleep spell to your spellbook for free. Your expertise in this spell grants you the following benefits.

Free Casting

You can cast Sleep without a spell slot. Once you cast the spell in this way, you can't do so again until you finish a Short or Long Rest.

Narcolepsy

When you cast the Sleep spell and a creature fails its first saving throw against the spell, it has the Unconscious condition as if it failed its second saving throw.

Using a Higher-Level Spell Slot

When you cast Sleep using a spell slot of level 2 or higher, the Sphere's radius increases by 5 feet for each spell slot level above 1.

Hypnotize

Level 6

You can perform a repetitive action for 1 minute to hypnotize a willing creature or one that has the Unconscious condition, giving it the Charmed condition for 1 minute. While it has the Charmed condition from this feature, the hypnotized creature uses the following rules.

Suppressed Mind-Affecting Magic

Magical effects that influence the creature's mind or cause it to be Charmed, cursed, Frightened, or possessed are suppressed while it is hypnotized.

Truthful

The creature will truthfully answer any question posed to it, even if it is Unconscious. While hypnotized, it can perfectly recall its memories.

Subconscious Suggestion

You can cast Suggestion targeting the hypnotized creature, which automatically fails its saving throw against the spell. When you do so, the spell is modified so that it doesn't require Concentration and is triggered by a specified command word. The first time the creature hears the specified command word during the spell's duration, the spell instantly takes effect and the creature pursues the suggestion to the best of its ability. If you use this benefit to modify the Suggestion spell again, your Subconscious Suggestion ends on any previously-hypnotized creatures.

Lucid Dream

Level 10

When you take a Long Rest, you can cast one of the following spells while you sleep without a spell slot or Material components: Divination, Dream, Legend Lore, or Scrying. Casting this spell doesn't interrupt your Long Rest.

Nightmares

Level 14

You can take a Bonus Action to deal Psychic damage equal to your Wizard level to each creature with the Unconscious condition that you can see within 60 feet of yourself. This damage can't end the Unconscious condition on a creature.
