Chanter

Chanters use Chants, which are made up of Phrases. While a Chanter recites the current Chant's Phrases, they can perform other actions.

Each Phrase lasts a few seconds and lingers for a couple more, with effects overlapping.

After completing a certain number of Phrases, the Chanter accumulates power to cast an Invocation, a more powerful spell. Least powerful Invocations require 3 Phrases, most powerful require 7.

Unlike Priests or Wizards, Chanters do not have a per-rest spell limit. Their resource is time; the least powerful Invocation cannot be cast until 12s into combat.

At 1st level, a Chanter selects 2 Phrases and 1 Invocation.

A Chanter learns a new Phrase at each subsequent odd-numbered level and a new Invocation at each even-numbered level.

At certain levels, they unlock the next tier of abilities. At higher levels, Phrase duration decreases, allowing faster power accumulation.

Phrase effects are centered on the caster, and many Invocations have a range of 0, placing the Chanter in the thick of combat.

The Chanter's inherent defense is decent and can be improved with the Weapon and Shield Style talent.

Summoning is a strength: 1st level Reny Daret's Ghost summons a powerful ally. Each new Invocation level provides another useful summon like Will-O'-Wisps, Ogres, and animated weapons.

A Chanter's primary limitation is time spent in combat. You may need to stick with low-level Phrases to cast higher-level Invocations, or string together high-level Phrases and forgo Invocations.
