Class Features
All of the following are class features of the energy manipulator.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency
Energy manipulator are proficient with with all simple weapons, but not with any type of armor or shield.
When wearing armor, using a shield an energy manipulator loses her channel energy abilities.
Channel energy (SP)
At first level an energy manipulator gains the ability to make a ranged touch attack with a range of 30ft that deals 1d8 points of untype damage per two energy manipulator level plus her wisdom modifier with a Fortitude save (DC 10 + ½ the energy manipulator’s level + the energy manipulator’s Wis modifier)for half damage.

If the target fail is save you or an ally within 30ft gain a positive level (see below)
Protection from energy (SP)

Absorb Energy
Abjuration
Level: Clr 6, Drd 6, Sor/Wiz 5
Components: V, S, DF
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Creature touched
Duration: 1 min./level
Saving Throw: Fortitude negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless)
This abjuration grants a creature protection from damage of whichever one of five energy types you select: acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic. The subject gains energy absorbtion against the energy type chosen, meaning that each time the creature is subjected to such damage (whether from a natural or magical source), that damage is annuled and instead the creature regain hit point for the same amount of damage it would have receive,
Absorb energy absorbs only damage. The subject could still suffer unfortunate side effects.
Note: Absord energy overlaps (and does not stack with) protection from energy and/or resist énergy. If a character is warded by protection from energy and/or resist energy and absorb energy, absord energy absorbs damage until is duration is exhausted.
Note: English isn't my native tongue so I want to apoligize for any gramatical error.
It's a first draft that probably need a lot a fine tuning most notably in formulating the ability.A better name migth be a good thing to. I'l be grateful for any help.
