Often a fixture of the community, jovial friars are convivial brewmasters who are always happy to lend an ear over a pint or a glass of mead. Servants devoted to gods of farming and agriculture, jovial friars bless fields, heal livestock, and conduct rites for harvesttime. They are dedicated to the success of farmers and shepherds, and to promoting and bettering the craft of beer, mead, spirits, or wine. The Friars, as they are colloquially known, are not typically outright combatants. However, when forced into action they quickly leverage the debilitating effects of the alcohol that they brew, inflicting the detriments of drunkeness on their enemies and bolstering their allies’ constitutional resolve. They also harness their divine connection to the natural world to enable them to influence or communicate with the animals and plants that fuel the realm of agriculture, creating bountiful harvests for all. #### Jovial Friar Spells 1 _[bacchanalian blessing](https://a5e.tabletopbytheik.nl/compendium/spells/bacchanalian_blessing) , [speak with animals](https://a5e.tabletopbytheik.nl/compendium/spells/speak_with_animals)_ 3 _[brewer’s revenge](https://a5e.tabletopbytheik.nl/compendium/spells/brewers_revenge), [locate animals or plants](https://a5e.tabletopbytheik.nl/compendium/spells/locate_animals_or_plants)_ 5 _[plant growth](https://a5e.tabletopbytheik.nl/compendium/spells/plant_growth), [slow](https://a5e.tabletopbytheik.nl/compendium/spells/slow)_ 7 _[confusion](https://a5e.tabletopbytheik.nl/compendium/spells/confusion), [parching thirst](https://a5e.tabletopbytheik.nl/compendium/spells/parching_thirst)_ 9 _[awaken](https://a5e.tabletopbytheik.nl/compendium/spells/awaken) , [modify memory](https://a5e.tabletopbytheik.nl/compendium/spells/modify_memory)_ #bonusSpells #### Bonus Proficiencies (1st level) When you choose this archetype at 1st level, you gain proficiency with [brewer’s supplies](https://a5e.tabletopbytheik.nl/compendium/items/brewers_supplies), or an expertise die if you were already proficient.

So long as you can maintain concentration, the affected creature is [incapacitated](https://a5e.tools/rules/conditions). The affected creature may repeat their saving throw at the end of each of its turns or whenever it takes damage, ending the effect on a success. Creatures who succeed on their saving throw are immune to this laughter for 24 hours.
