Rán’s Divine Spellcasting

Rán’s spellcasting should feel like the sea deciding what is allowed to live, breathe, escape, or return.

For ordinary clerics, warlocks, sea-priests, and drowned prophets, use the normal spell lists for their class and domain. For Rán herself, her avatar, or her greatest heralds, the following spells are especially appropriate.

Cantrips: chill touch, guidance, message, resistance, spare the dying, thaumaturgy
1st Level: bane, command, create or destroy water, detect magic, fog cloud, inflict wounds
2nd Level: augury, blindness/deafness, hold person, lesser restoration, silence
3rd Level: bestow curse, call lightning, dispel magic, speak with dead, spirit guardians, water breathing, water walk
4th Level: control water, death ward, divination, freedom of movement, locate creature
5th Level: commune, contagion, geas, hold monster, insect plague, scrying
6th Level: harm, heal, planar ally, true seeing, word of recall
7th Level: divine word, etherealness, plane shift, resurrection
8th Level: control weather, earthquake, power word stun
9th Level: foresight, gate, power word kill, true resurrection

Always Prepared Domain Spells

For clerics, sea-priests, and divine champions of Rán, the following spells are always appropriate as domain or patron spells.

1st: command, create or destroy water
2nd: augury, silence
3rd: speak with dead, water breathing
4th: control water, death ward
5th: geas, scrying
6th: harm, true seeing
7th: divine word, resurrection
8th: control weather, power word stun
9th: power word kill, true resurrection

Spellcasting Notes

Control Water is Rán’s most important battlefield spell. When she uses it, the water should behave as if it remembers every drowned body it has ever held.

Speak with Dead and Resurrection are never neutral around Rán. If the corpse was lost to the sea, these spells may require a bargain, offering, recovered token, or broken claim before they work cleanly.

Freedom of Movement protects against ordinary restraints, currents, and grapples, but it does not automatically defeat Rán’s true divine net. Against Rán herself, only artifact-level, divine, or mythic magic should bypass the net without a contest.

True Resurrection can return the drowned only if Rán’s claim is absent, satisfied, broken, or overruled. Otherwise the spell reaches the soul, but the sea does not release it.

Divine Boons of Rán

Rán’s favour should feel useful, unsettling, and never entirely safe.

Black-Water Breath. Once per long rest, you can breathe underwater for 1 hour. During this time, you also have advantage on saving throws against natural currents, undertow, and deep-water pressure.

The Sea Keeps What Is Given. When you drop to 0 hit points while in water, you can choose to become stable instead of making a death saving throw. Once this boon is used, it cannot be used again until you finish a long rest.

Sense the Drowned. While within 1 mile of a large body of water, you can sense whether a humanoid corpse, wreck, or recently drowned soul lies beneath the surface. This sense gives direction but not exact depth, identity, or safety.

Wreck-Gold Warning. You can tell when treasure has been taken from a wreck, drowned corpse, flooded shrine, or sea-cave without proper offering. This does not reveal the curse, owner, or danger, but it tells you the treasure has not returned clean.

Divine Curse of Rán

Those who steal from wrecks, break sea-oaths, abandon crews, or reclaim what Rán has marked may suffer her curse.

Rán’s Claim. The cursed creature feels a downward pull whenever it enters deep water. While swimming in open sea, it has disadvantage on Strength checks made to resist currents, nets, grapples, or forced movement.

If the curse deepens, use the following stages.

Stage 1 — The Pull. The creature dreams of sinking water and wakes with salt on its lips.

Stage 2 — The Weight. The creature’s swimming speed is reduced by 10 feet. If it has no swimming speed, it has disadvantage on Strength (Athletics) checks to swim.

Stage 3 — The Net. Once per day when the creature is in water, spectral strands restrain it until the end of its next turn unless it succeeds on a DC 18 Strength saving throw.

Stage 4 — The Claim. If the creature drops to 0 hit points in water, it cannot be restored to life by ordinary magic until Rán’s claim is answered, bargained away, ritually broken, or overridden by a greater divine power.

Using Rán’s Forms

Use the Drowned Thrall for haunted wrecks, corpse-omens, and minor divine punishments.

Use the Drowned Herald of Rán when the goddess sends a named servant, priestly revenant, drowned captain, or sea-wight champion.

Use the Avatar of Rán when a mythic-scale manifestation rises through black water, wreckage, drowned souls, and divine netting. Destroying the avatar breaks that manifestation. It does not kill Rán.

Use Rán, True Divine Form only when the campaign deliberately reaches divine-scale conflict.

Traits

Sea-Body Manifestation. Rán’s true form usually appears Huge, but her presence may fill an entire sea-cave, wreck-field, harbour, storm, or drowned hall. Her size category represents the space her divine body occupies in combat, not the full reach of her power. In her drowned sea-domain, she may appear as a woman, a vast shadow under the water, a net spread beneath fleets, or the sea itself.

Divine Body. Rán’s true divine body is not an avatar. If reduced to 0 hit points outside the mythic conditions required to kill or bind her, she dissolves into sea-darkness, wreckage, foam, drowned voices, and black netting. She reforms after 1d10 days in a sea, drowned realm, divine hall, or place where a body has been lost to water.

Intermediate Deity. Rán automatically succeeds on saving throws against spells and magical effects of 5th level or lower unless she chooses otherwise.

Legendary Resistance 5/Day. If Rán fails a saving throw, she can choose to succeed instead.

Magic Resistance. Rán has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Mistress of the Drowned. Undead and spirits created by drowning cannot willingly attack Rán unless compelled by a greater deity, artifact, or mythic oath. Drowned undead within 1 mile of her know her presence and may be commanded by her as if under a permanent divine command.

No Clean Resurrection. A creature that dies by drowning within 1 mile of Rán cannot be restored to life unless Rán permits it, her claim is ritually broken, or the caster succeeds on a DC 28 spellcasting ability check. On a failure, the spell is not wasted, but the soul does not return.

Rán’s Net. Creatures restrained by Rán’s Black Net or True Net cannot teleport, plane shift, become incorporeal, or benefit from freedom of movement unless the effect comes from a spell of 8th level or higher, an artifact, or another deity.

Sea’s Claim. A creature that starts its turn grappled or restrained by Rán while underwater must succeed on a DC 28 Constitution saving throw or begin suffocating as if it had run out of breath. A creature that does not need to breathe instead takes 28 (8d6) necrotic damage on a failed save.

The Sea Is Her Road. While touching natural seawater, Rán can move through connected bodies of natural seawater as if teleporting. This movement does not provoke opportunity attacks and cannot be counterspelled.

Divine Spellcasting

Rán’s spellcasting ability is Wisdom. Her spell save DC is 28, and she has +20 to hit with spell attacks. She requires no material components.

At Will: bane, command, create or destroy water, detect magic, fog cloud, speak with dead, water breathing, water walk
3/Day Each: bestow curse, call lightning, control water, death ward, freedom of movement, geas, harm, heal, scrying, true seeing
1/Day Each: control weather, divine word, earthquake, gate, plane shift, power word kill, resurrection, true resurrection

Actions

Multiattack. Rán makes two Drowning Grasp attacks and one True Net attack.

Drowning Grasp. Melee Spell Attack: +20 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target.
Hit: 43 (6d10 + 10) cold damage plus 35 (10d6) necrotic damage. If the target is Gargantuan or smaller, it is grappled, escape DC 28.

True Net. Ranged Spell Attack: +20 to hit, range 180/360 ft., one Gargantuan or smaller creature.
Hit: 70 (20d6) force damage, and the target is restrained by Rán’s divine net. A restrained creature can use its action to make a DC 28 Strength check, freeing itself on a success. The net has AC 22, 100 hit points, immunity to cold, necrotic, poison, psychic, and nonmagical damage, and vulnerability to slashing damage from artifacts or divine weapons.

Crushing Sea. Rán chooses up to six creatures she can see within 180 feet. Each target must make a DC 28 Strength saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 88 (16d10) bludgeoning damage and is pulled up to 60 feet toward Rán. On a successful save, it takes half damage and is not pulled.

Drown the Oath. Recharge 5–6. Rán speaks the name of a broken sea-oath, abandoned crew, stolen wreck, or unrecovered drowned soul. Each enemy of her choice within 120 feet that can hear her must make a DC 28 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, a target takes 55 (10d10) psychic damage and is frightened for 1 minute. While frightened in this way, the target cannot willingly move farther from water. A frightened target repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Call the Sea’s Dead. Recharge 6. Rán calls the drowned from water, wreckage, mud, ice, flooded graves, or the memories of those lost at sea. Up to six Drowned Thralls, two Drowned Heralds, or one Avatar of Rán appear in unoccupied spaces within 180 feet. They act immediately after Rán and remain for 1 hour, until destroyed, or until dismissed.

Bonus Actions

Black-Water Passage. While in contact with natural water, Rán teleports up to 180 feet to another space in contact with the same body of water or connected seawater.

Take Back the Breath. One creature grappled or restrained by Rán must succeed on a DC 28 Constitution saving throw or lose the ability to speak or cast spells with verbal components until the start of Rán’s next turn.

Reactions

The Sea Takes Back. When a creature within 120 feet of Rán regains hit points while touching water, Rán can force that creature to make a DC 28 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the healing is negated, and Rán regains hit points equal to the amount prevented. On a successful save, the healing is halved.

Net Against Escape. When a creature restrained by Rán teleports, shifts planes, or uses magical movement, Rán can force it to make a DC 28 Charisma saving throw. On a failure, the movement fails, and the creature takes 35 (10d6) force damage.

Legendary Actions

Rán can take 4 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action can be used at a time, and only at the end of another creature’s turn.

Dragging Current. One creature grappled or restrained by Rán is pulled up to 40 feet.

Foam-Blind. One creature within 120 feet must succeed on a DC 28 Constitution saving throw or be blinded until the end of its next turn.

Net Tightens. Costs 2 Actions. Each creature restrained by Rán’s True Net takes 35 (10d6) force damage.

Silence of the Drowned. Costs 2 Actions. Rán chooses up to three creatures within 120 feet. Each target must succeed on a DC 28 Constitution saving throw or be unable to speak or cast spells with verbal components until the end of its next turn.

The Wreck Comes Down. Costs 3 Actions. Rán causes spectral wreckage, anchors, chains, stones, masts, and cold water to collapse in a 30-foot-radius area within 180 feet. Creatures in the area must make a DC 28 Dexterity saving throw, taking 55 (10d10) bludgeoning damage on a failed save or half as much on a success.

Divine Lair Actions

When Rán is encountered in a drowned hall, sea-cave, wreck-field, flooded battlefield, storm-sea, or her own drowned sea-domain, she can use one lair action on initiative count 20.

All Water Becomes Deep. A 60-foot-radius area Rán can see becomes deep water until the next round. Creatures without a swim speed treat the area as difficult terrain and must swim.

The Dead Knock Below. Drowned voices sound from beneath the battlefield. Each enemy within 120 feet that can hear them must succeed on a DC 24 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened until the end of its next turn.

Wreck-Gold Shines. Cursed coins, rings, and treasure gleam in the dark. Each creature of Rán’s choice within 120 feet that has taken treasure from a corpse, wreck, grave, or shrine without proper offering must make a DC 24 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed until the end of its next turn. While charmed, the creature must use its movement to approach the nearest visible treasure or water.

Domain-Empowered Rán, CR 35

Within her own drowned sea-domain, Rán is not merely present in the battlefield. She is the battlefield.

For a CR 35 version, use the true divine form with the following changes:

• Hit Points increase to 900.
• Armour Class increases to 27.
• Saving throw DCs increase by 2.
• Rán regains 40 hit points at the start of each of her turns unless a true knot of her net has been severed that round.
• Rán can use Call the Sea’s Dead without recharge, but only once per round.
• A creature that dies by drowning in the domain cannot be restored to life outside the domain until Rán’s claim is broken.

Mythic Power

Mythic Power Su. Rán has mythic power 10/day, surge +1d12. She may expend mythic power to fuel mythic abilities, add surge to d20 rolls, empower divine effects, resist effects that would sever her claim over the drowned, or strengthen her net against mythic opposition.

Mythic Divine Traits

Mythic Rank 10. Rán is treated as a mythic creature for spells, feats, magic items, and abilities that distinguish mythic from non-mythic creatures. Her mythic rank is already included in her statistics.

Unstoppable Claim Ex. If Rán fails a saving throw against a non-mythic effect, she may expend one use of mythic power to reroll the save. If the effect would release a drowned soul, break Rán’s Net, negate her No Clean Resurrection ability, or sever her divine claim over a wreck or drowned corpse, she may roll twice and take the better result.

Mythic Net Su. Rán’s True Net counts as a mythic effect. A non-mythic creature entangled and anchored by the net cannot use non-mythic teleportation, freedom of movement, plane shift, incorporeal movement, or similar escape effects to leave the net unless Rán permits it.

Special Abilities

Sea-Body Manifestation Su. Rán’s true divine body usually occupies the space of a Huge creature, but her manifestation is not limited to mortal anatomy. Her face may appear in waves, her hair as weed and foam, her hand as undertow, and her net as a pattern spread through an entire wreck-field. In her own drowned sea-domain, the environment itself may act as an extension of her.

Call the Sea’s Dead Sp. Once every 1d4 rounds, Rán can call drowned creatures from water, wreckage, flooded graves, mud, ice, or sunken memory. She summons 2d6 drowned thralls, 1d3 drowned heralds, or one avatar of Rán. These creatures remain for 1 hour, until destroyed, or until dismissed. If she expends one use of mythic power, the summoned creatures gain maximum hit points for the first 1 minute of their service.

Crushing Sea Su. As a standard action every 1d4 rounds, Rán pulls up to six enemies within 180 feet up to 60 feet toward her. Affected creatures take 20d6 bludgeoning damage, Reflex DC 42 half. Creatures that fail are also knocked prone or dragged beneath the surface if water is present. Rán may expend one use of mythic power to make the affected area count as deep water until the start of her next turn. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Divine Body Ex. Rán’s true divine form is not an avatar. If reduced to 0 hit points outside the mythic conditions required to kill or bind her, she collapses into seawater, wreckage, foam, drowned voices, and black netting. She reforms after 1d10 days in a sea, drowned realm, divine hall, or place where a body has been lost to water.

Drown the Oath Su. As a standard action, Rán speaks the weight of a broken sea-oath, abandoned crew, stolen wreck, or unrecovered drowned soul. Enemies within 120 feet must succeed at a DC 42 Will save or take 10d10 points of damage and become shaken for 1 minute. A creature already shaken becomes frightened instead. This is a fear and mind-affecting effect, but it ignores immunity to fear unless that immunity comes from a deity, artifact, or mythic effect. Rán may expend one use of mythic power to force non-mythic creatures that succeed on the save to become shaken for 1 round. The save DC is Charisma-based.

No Clean Resurrection Su. A creature that dies by drowning within 1 mile of Rán cannot be restored to life unless Rán permits it, her claim is ritually broken, or the caster succeeds at a DC 42 caster level check. On a failure, the spell is not wasted, but the soul does not return. If Rán expends one use of mythic power when the attempt is made, non-mythic resurrection magic automatically fails unless a divine relic, mythic spell, or rival deity intervenes.

The Sea Is Her Road Su. While touching natural seawater, Rán can travel through connected bodies of natural seawater as greater teleport at will. This movement cannot be counterspelled by non-divine magic.

True Net Su. As a standard action, Rán casts her divine net at a creature within 360 feet. The target must succeed at a DC 44 Reflex save or become entangled, anchored, and dimensionally locked. An anchored creature cannot move farther from Rán and cannot teleport, plane shift, become incorporeal, or benefit from freedom of movement unless the effect comes from an artifact, deity, mythic spell, or comparable divine power. The creature can attempt a DC 44 Strength check or Escape Artist check as a full-round action to break free. The save DC is Charisma-based and includes Ability Focus.

Domain-Empowered Rán, CR 35 / MR 10

Within her own drowned sea-domain, use the true divine form with the following changes:

• CR increases to 35.
• Mythic Rank remains MR 10.
• Hit points increase to 900.
• AC increases to 56.
• Saving throw DCs increase by 2.
• Rán gains fast healing 40 unless a true knot of her net has been severed that round.
• Rán may use Call the Sea’s Dead once per round without waiting 1d4 rounds.
• Rán gains 3 additional uses of mythic power per day while inside her drowned sea-domain.
• A creature that dies by drowning in the domain cannot be restored to life outside the domain until Rán’s claim is broken.

Special Abilities

Black Net Su. As a standard action, the avatar casts a divine net at a creature within 180 feet. The target must succeed at a DC 30 Reflex save or become entangled and anchored. An anchored creature cannot move farther from the avatar and must succeed at a DC 30 Strength check or Escape Artist check to break free. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Crushing Undertow Su. As a standard action every 1d4 rounds, the avatar pulls all enemies within 90 feet up to 40 feet toward her. Affected creatures take 16d6 bludgeoning damage, Reflex DC 30 half. Creatures that fail are also knocked prone or dragged beneath the surface if water is present.

Drown the Oath Su. A creature grappled by the avatar must succeed at a DC 30 Fortitude save each round or immediately begin drowning. Creatures that do not breathe instead take 8d6 negative energy damage. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Summon Drowned Servants Sp. Once per day, the avatar can summon 2d4 drowned thralls or 1 drowned herald. This functions as a summon monster effect with a duration of 1 hour.

Divine Manifestation Ex. If destroyed, the avatar collapses into seawater, rope, foam, and sunken coins. Rán herself is not slain.

Mythic Avatar Option

For a mythic campaign, the avatar may instead be used as CR 25 / MR 6. Add the mythic subtype, mythic power 6/day, surge +1d8, and increase the DCs of its special abilities by 2. This version represents a deeper manifestation of Rán’s divine will, but it is still not the true goddess.
