NPC Ability
Willis is gifted with the power to see the flow of fate. This ability is meant to function as a way to prepare for dungeons and other near future events already planned by the DM. With the price of 500 gp, Willis can grant one player one of the following effects. This sight into the future is vague, but at most it should only last one month at the most.
Give one use of Portent
Hint most common enemy next mission.
Hint most deadly trap next mission. Grant advantage on saving throw.
Show biggest possible threat on next mission.
Answer one yes or no question. (ask the DM)
Willis can only provide this ability one time per person till the future he has shown as passed. The players experience this sight into the future as a rapid blur, only catching glimpse of what is to come and only focusing on what they wanted to know. In the case of using Portent, they are unable to really see anything noteworthy, Willis will reply with. “When the time comes, you’ll know what to do.” When the play uses the Portent ability, it will be as if they suddenly remember what is about to happen and act to accordingly to change the future. Willis is also able to see the future the player has seen. Due to Keen Mind he remembers the events clearly, but only as an NPC.
Class: Divination Wizard (D&D Player’s Handbook)
Starting Skill Proficiencies: Arcana, Investigation
Abilities:
Focus Int and then Wis.
Willis is not a combat focused character. NPC or otherwise. He’s meant to be the one everyone goes to for answers, but usually just smiles and holds out a hand for cash. He’s meant to be an asset for the players not a free ride to the answers. That being said he is prone to giving out freebees to the players to peek their interest. Focus on gathering spells that gather information, protect, or help communication.
As a player, you’re free to play your Wizard as any way you want. Wizards are super flexible by the number of spells they gather. But Willis is a soft boy, so get Misty Step or Shield and keep safe.
Example stats:
Str/ 9 Dex/14 Con/10 Int/18(+2) Wis/14(+1) Char/11
Background: Fortune Teller (Homebrew)
Proficiencies: Perception and Performance
Tool Proficiencies: None
Equipment: A crystal ball, a cloak with a hood, candles, chalk, and 10GP
Feat: Fortune Telling
Willis is able to set up shop and earn a small amount of coin by palm reading and tarot cards. Rolling a perception, Willis can see possible topics to maybe cover and then performance to hype up the show. Per short rest, you can set up this side job in a populated area and earn 1d10 coins (value depending on the environment)
Equipment
NPC- Willis doesn’t carry much. He uses a crystal ball that acts as both Spell book and Arcane focus. And that’s about it.
PC- Invest in getting a durable spell book. A utility wizard is nothing if they lose their book so be prepared. Other than that, maybe invest in protection magic items to help with AC. Just cause you’re not meant for fighting doesn’t mean you’re never going to be in a fight.
