Grease Genius - Wizard Subclass

Wizard Subclass — Grease Genius

Grease Genius

The Grease Genius renders every higher mystery of the Weave through sacred lard. Enemies caught in their Grease suffer greatly. Unused prepared-spell capacity leaves more fatty brain room for Intelligence boosts in combat.

Level 2

Grease Subspecialist

Enemies knocked Prone by a Grease area you created take 2d6 + twice the spell-slot level as Bludgeoning damage. Casting it may also call forth a Greaseball. While focused on deploying entry level spells, you are more than compensated for it. Overlap Grease with Fog Cloud to create HogFog. Thunderwave your greased up foes for extra slip sliding Leeward Lard distance.

A greasy ooze may be called forth when you cast Grease. Its maximum Hit Points, Attack Rolls, and Acid weapon damage scale with the spell slot used and your Intelligence. Only one Greaseball per caster can be active at a time.

Lard Brain

Unused prepared-spell capacity fattens the mind. For every 5 unused preparation slots, gain +1 Intelligence in combat, up to +4.

HogFog

Created where a Fog Cloud overlaps a Grease area. Hostile creatures standing in it become Distracted by the potent porcine fog fumes. Airborne hostiles caught in HogFog take severe punishment receiving 1d8 × your Intelligence modifier as Bludgeoning damage and are knocked Prone.

Leeward Lard

When you cast Thunderwave, enemies standing in your Grease slide an additional 2 m away from you. Slippery Slopes increases the extra distance to 4 m. If the greased enemy is Prone, it slides another 2 m farther.

Level 6

Largening Lard

When you upcast Grease, it expands the slick by 1 m per spell-slot level above 1st.

Pork Loin Longing

When you cast Grease, conjure a succulent Greasy Pork Loin at the centre of the slick. Many enemies near the meat may become Distracted for 1 turn.

Level 10

Slippery Slopes

When Grease is cast with a 3rd-level spell slot or higher, creatures have Disadvantage on Saving Throws against your Grease.

Level 13

Porcine Augmenter

Casting Grease with a 4th-level spell slot or higher upgrades your summoned Greaseball into an Empowered Greaseball. Its strength continues to scale with your Intelligence and the spell slot used.
