Finitens shape how others perceive them through cultivated presence, uncanny imitation, and magic that makes a convincing impression linger. They are full spellcasters whose signature strength is bending attention and social certainty, while their spells provide the broader tools to influence, conceal, and escape. A Finiten's appearance is a deliberate instrument—expressed through clothing, bearing, voice, or a chosen persona, never dependent on any particular body.
Be seen as you choose, and believed before anyone asks why.
Full Caster; social manipulator, illusionist, and scene-shaping controller.

Finiten's Poise
Hit die d8
Charisma
ConstitutionYou learn to cast spells using Charisma. You prepare spells from the Bard spell list; use the Bard's full-caster spell-slot progression, cantrips known, and prepared-spell count for your level. Charisma is your spellcasting ability, and your spell save DC and spell attack modifier use the standard formula.
You gain proficiency in Deception and one of Performance, Persuasion, or Sleight of Hand. Choose one outfit, accessory, or grooming detail as your signature presentation; you can revise it when you finish a Long Rest.
As a Bonus Action, expend one use of your Finiten's Poise to alter your apparent age, voice, grooming, and nonmagical clothing details for 1 hour. You have a number of uses equal to your Proficiency Bonus and regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest; this doesn't change your game statistics or provide a disguise kit's physical components.
Choose a Finiten subclass, which grants features at levels 3, 6, 10, and 14.
Ability Score Improvement
When you make a Charisma (Deception, Performance, or Persuasion) check, you can expend one use of Finiten's Poise to give yourself Advantage. You can decide after rolling the d20 but before the outcome is determined.
Your subclass grants you a feature.
Your Borrowed Appearance can now alter your apparent height and build within the same size category, and your voice can convincingly mimic a voice you have heard for at least 1 minute. A creature can discern the imitation with a successful Wisdom (Insight) check against your spell save DC.
Ability Score Improvement
When a creature succeeds on a saving throw against one of your enchantment or illusion spells, you can use your Reaction and expend one use of Finiten's Poise to impose a 1d4 penalty on that save, potentially turning it into a failure. You must use this feature before the spell's effects are resolved.
Your subclass grants you a feature.
You can use Borrowed Appearance without expending a use. When you do, its duration is 10 minutes, and you can't alter apparent height or build.
Ability Score Improvement
When you fail a Charisma (Deception, Performance, or Persuasion) check, you can expend one use of Finiten's Poise to reroll the d20. You must use the new roll.
Your subclass grants you a feature.
When you cast an enchantment or illusion spell that targets only one creature and doesn't deal damage, you can choose a second eligible creature within range. The spell must be of a level no higher than 2, and you can use this feature once per Long Rest.
Ability Score Improvement
When you roll Initiative and have no uses of Finiten's Poise remaining, you regain one use.
You learn two additional cantrips from the Bard spell list. They count as Finiten spells for you.
Ability Score Improvement and Epic Boon
Once per Long Rest, when you fail a Charisma check or an enchantment or illusion spell you cast fails to affect every target, you can choose to treat the check as a 20 on the d20 or have one target fail its saving throw. This can't turn a natural 1 on a check into a critical success.

ResourceFiniten's Poise: a limited-use reserve equal to your Proficiency Bonus, regained on a Long Rest. Several class features expend these uses.
MulticlassingPrerequisite: Charisma 13. When you take your first Finiten level, you gain proficiency in one skill from the Finiten skill options. Multiclass spell slots are calculated using the standard multiclass spellcaster rules; use the Bard's spell-slot progression for Finiten levels.
Full spellcasting beginning at level 1, using Charisma and the Bard's full-caster spell-slot progression.
You prepare spells from the Bard spell list and follow the Bard's cantrips-known and prepared-spell progression. The spellList field gives thematic examples, not an exhaustive spell list.

You are a full spellcaster with a social specialty, not a replacement for a dedicated martial character.
Use spells to control a scene or create an opening, then use presentation and skill checks to make that opening matter. Finiten's Poise rewards saving limited uses for consequential checks and pivotal saves; your disguise features help create opportunities but don't automatically defeat scrutiny.
Finitens learn by studying the small agreements between appearance and expectation: gesture, voice, dress, timing, and attention.
An apprenticeship commonly begins with observation exercises and supervised performances; some initiates train in theaters or diplomatic houses, while others learn through practical work as advocates, couriers, or investigators.
People often find Finitens charming until they wonder whether the charm was sincere.
In places accustomed to court intrigue they are valued as negotiators and performers; elsewhere their skills invite suspicion, especially from anyone who fears being made a fool.
