Secrets kill, Butterflies sting. [Org + Classes]

[SilveryCord]

There was once a small city. It lay on a small island, half of which was taken up by a large mountain. Of course, this mountain was not habitable, so the people were trapped on the small strip of land around it. This city became known to others as "The City of Fans".

In this city, there were two rival clans, the Himitsu clan, and the Touya clan. The Himitsu clan was full of specialized artisans and delicate assassins, specializing in building and using compact weapons. Most assassins of the time simply used swords or daggers, but the Himitsu clan would use poison, needles, deception, and their favorite weapon of all: Fans.
They could build amazingly compact fans. Some would shoot out poison needles when waved. Others would have small slots for vials, and other kinds of machinations. But all of them were beautiful. Members of the Himitsu clan would spend weeks perfecting a single fan.

The Touya clan was almost an exact opposite. They used large, clunky weapons. But, this is not the story of the Touya clan. This is the story of the City of Fans, and it's up to me to tell you what happened.

One day, after the Himitsu and Touya clans had spent many hours on their usual territory-wars, there was quite a stir about the City of Fans. There were rumors floating around, speaking of a powerful cult trying to summon the God of the Mountain to destroy the city. But, this was no cult. This was the city's government, the counsel. They were trying to destroy their own city with a large lava flow. A travelling Wu Jen had promised them that he would activate the volcano, and kill everyone in the city, in exchange for half of the gold. Half of what gold, you may ask? The clans'. The Himitsu clan and Touya clan both had 'secret' stashes of amazing treasures. Everyone knew about them, of course, but them being "secret" added some mystique to the equation. The Wu Jen quickly convinced them as a reputable person, and those who didn't believe them were quickly convinced by his overpowering magic.

So, some people in the village panicked. Both clans immediately sent out members to investigate, while sending some of their members. And they did investigate. They discovered everything. They joined forces to fight the evil Wu Jen and the counsel, but it was too late. Most of the people in the City of Fans died.
- Sim-Yoo, the historian, one of the few people who survived the incident.

[b]Types of Members
The Himitsu clan is organized into four kinds of members:
-Syringes of the Secret
-Toils of the Tinkerer
-Butterflies of Nature
-Family Members/Ordinary Members

Syringes form the brute force of the Himitsu clan. They are often fighters, rangers, and other kinds of weapon specialists. However, contrary to the norm, most of them are females.
-Toils form the workforce of the Himitsu clan. They engineer complicated fans for the Syringes, craft armor and weaponry of other kinds, and make buildings or furniture. They are usually male.
-Butterflies form the magical force of the Himitsu clan. They support the Syringes with spells on the field, and off the field, they help Toils craft powerful magical fans.
-Family Members and Ordinary Members form the background of the Himitsu clan. While not everyone living in the City of Fans is associated with either clan, some are. Usually the ordinary members are just grunts, who do basic work for the more important members. Family members are anyone who is immediately related to a Syringe, Toil, or Butterfly. They get special protection from the clan, but are usually not part of the clan's activities.

Heirarchy
The heirarchy of the Himitsu clan starts with the Lords, then the Special Members, then Members, and finally Ordinaries. Lords are anyone born to the ruling family of the Himitsu Clan. Special Members are any Syringes, Toils, and Butterflies that are elevated to a special status. Syringes of the nature often go on special missions, Toils craft beautiful houses and weaponry for the Lords, and Butterflies help the special Syringes or provide entertainment for the Lords. Members are simply Syringes, Toils, or Butterflies. Ordinaries are family members or ordinary members.

There are 3 divisions among the Lords: Divine Rulers, Battle Leaders, and Social Leaders. Divine Rulers are the members of the Ishima family, a prestigeous family who is said to have descended from the gods themselves. They are revered as the most important people in the Himitsu clan, making decisions on the clan's overall stance on ethical and moral issues. The Battle Leaders handle the battles with the Touya clan, or are just great military strategists. Most of them are ex-Syringes, or just noblemen who have been raised with a knack for strategizing. Finally, the Social Leaders are just nobles, they are often heirs and heiresses. Milan Sokka is one of the most infamous, she is often referenced as a shocking and revolutionary woman in Himitsu writings. She was the heiress to Karu Sokka, an owner of a large chain of inns all around the world. Other similar socialites include Tommu Karuzu, a strange actor who joined an even stranger religion, and Haeh-Sakk, a popular poet.

Weaponry
The Himitsu clan relies on 3 kinds of weapons: Fans, Needles, and Umbrellas.
(Simple) Fan
Cost: 30 GP, Damage (M): 1d6, Critical: x3, Weight: 3 lbs. Type: Slashing
(Menu 1) Fan
Cost: 350 GP (Masterwork)
(Menu 2) Fan
Cost: 1000 GP (Masterwork)
(Menu 3) Fan
Cost: 5000 GP (Masterwork)
(Menu 3&2) Fan (This fan gets abilities as if it was a Menu 3 Fan and a Menu 2 Fan. In other words, it could get 5 Menu 2 abilities, or 10 Menu 1 Abilities, etc. etc.)
Cost: 10000 GP (Masterwork)
The Fan is used commonly by Syringes for close combat. The veins of these fans are made of a hard metal, and are similar to needles. Toils and Butterflies can build Fans with many special abilities (Described later), or enhance an already-built masterwork fan. They select abilities from one of three menus, defining the cost of these abilities. Someone equipped with a Fan may make a Bluff Check opposed to their opponent's Sense Motive Check before they attack. If they win the contest, they get a +4 to attack rolls on their first attack.

Needle
Cost: 1 SP, Damage (M): 1, Critical: x3, Range Increment: 10 feet, Type: Piercing
The Needles is a favorite distance weapon of Syringes. Often they carry a few for their simple utility. Several needles may be used to make an Open Lock check as if they were a set of thieve's tools.

Umbrella
Cost: 90 GP, Damage (M): 1, Critical: x3, Range Increment: 10 feet, Type: Piercing
Most Syringes do not use Umbrellas. Only a few Syringes and Butterflies dare use such a complex weapon. This weapon must be loaded with 5 needles to be used. All 5 needles are shot in one attack. Reloading this weapon with needles takes 1 full-round action.

Additional Abilites for Weapons
A weapon that specifies itself as having a "menu" can have certain abilities added to it it. These abilities can be mechanical or magical. A (Menu 1) weapon can have one ability from Menu 1 added to it. A (Menu 2) weapon can have one ability from Menu 2, or two abilities from Menu 1, added to it. A (Menu 3) weapon can have one ability from Menu 3, or two abilities from Menu 2, or four abilities from Menu 1, or an ability from Menu 2 and two abilities from Menu 1, added to it. Weapons with the "menu" specifier cannot be enchanted as normal weapons, instead, you must follow the rules for creating your own menu abilities.

Types of menu abilities
Menu abilities can be set to certain weapons, to only be made in certain ways etc. These specifiers change the meaning of an ability:
[Fan] This ability can only be applied to a fan.
[Needle] This ability can only be applied to a needle.
This ability can only be applied to an umbrella.
[Mechanical] This ability needs to be added with the help of a Toil.
[Magical] This ability needs to be added with the help of a Butterfly.
[Legend] This abilitiy needs to be added with the help of a Syringe.

[u]Menu 1
Menu 1 abilities are always mechanical. The price should be below 100 GP.

Needle-Storing [Mechanical]
The weapon gets the ability to store 5 needles. Treat this as an Umbrella for rules regarding throwing needles. (If it is already an umbrella, it just gains the ability to store an additional 5 needles.)
80 GP

Throwing [Mechanical] [Fan]
The weapon is able to be used as a thrown weapon, as if by the Throwing enchantment.
70 GP

Small Compartment [Mechanical]
The weapon has a small compartment in it, fit for hiding secret messages or small vials into. The weapon appears to be slightly larger than normal, one making a Search check with a DC of 20 can find the compartment.
60 GP

Injection [Mechanical]
This weapon has a small tank of poison in it. A successful hit injects the poison into the target. (No risk of poisoning)
100 GP (Poison costs are separate)

Menu 2
The abilities granted by Menu 2 can be either magical or mechanical. All Menu 2 magical effects are 0-level spells, cast by a level one caster, and with 1 charge a day. The cost should range from about 75 GP to 200 GP

Flare [Magical]
The user of the weapon can use the spell Flare once a day as if the user were casting the spell as a first-level caster.
95 GP, 3 XP. (Must be added by a caster.)

Light [Magical]
The user of the weapon can use the spell Light once a day as if the user were casting the spell as a first-level caster.
95 GP, 3 XP. (Must be added by a caster.)

Open/Close [Magical]
The user of the weapon can use the spell Open/Close once a day as if the user were casting the spell as a first-level caster.
95 GP, 3 XP. (Must be added by a caster.)

Razor Sharp [Mechanical]
Damage from the weapon is treated as if the weapon were a size category bigger than it really is.
200 GP

Menu 3
The abilities granted from Menu 3 can be magical, mechanical, or legendary. If magical, the costs for creating a Wondrous Item apply. There are no restrictions on how the magical effect is stored. In other words, it doesn't have to have a daily charge limit, or any other specific kind of delivering magic. If legendary, the ability is priceless, and cannot be added normally. A weapon with a legendary ability must be found, not made. (Legendary abilities are the remnants of heroic syringes, passing on their powers to their weapons after they die.) The cost should be 200 GP and higher.

Prestidigitation [Magical]
If the proper command word is spoken, the user uses the spell Prestidigitation as if she was casting it herself.
900 GP, 36 XP (Must be added by caster.)

Paragonal [Fan]
The fan does 3d8 damage. Its critical becomes x4.
800 GP

Dual [Fan]
The fan becomes a double weapon, but the user incurs none of the penalties of fighting with a double weapon. In other words, the damage becomes 1d6/1d6 (unless the amount of damage the fan does is changed by another factor.)
900 GP

Centipede Striker [Legendary]
The weapon is always treated as if it is poisoned with Small Centipede poison. There is no risk of poisoning to the user.
[Legendary]

Current
Currently, the members of the Himitsu clan are dispersed. Few survived, and they are all scattered. Most big cities, and several small cities, will have a segment of the clan, with anywhere between 3 to 10 people in it. Ordinaries will be trying to learn how to become a Syringe, Toil, or Butterfly. Family members try and support the clan any way they can. A few Lords survived, and they have tried to find more survivors. Usually members stay connected by sending letters.

Prestige Classes
These classes represent the Syringes, Toils, and Butterflies.

Syringes of the Secret
The beautiful, the intoxicating, and the roguish fighters of the Himitsu clan. Many of them are addicted to the adrenaline of sneaking inside tea houses and other public areas dressed as geisha, seducing their target and slipping a bit of poison into their drink. Most male Syringes try and avoid stealth, not wanting to be compared to the women. Thus, they end up inciting public riots by pulling out their heavy weaponry in the middle of large crowds, simply forcing themselves on their target. This has led to most males being encouraged to be Toils, but by now, it's become so ingrained in the culture, very few remember the rowdy male Syringes of old, instead thinking of the select few male syringes who rely on a different kind of stealth. But, on occasion, the older kind of Syringe emerges.

Spells
Beginning at 1st level, a Syringe gains the ability to cast a number of arcane spells. To cast a spell, a Syringe must have an Intelligence score of at least 10 + the Spell's level, so a Syringe with an Intelligence of 10 or lower cannot cast these spells. Syringe bonus spells are based on Intelligence, and saving throws against these spells have a DC of 10 + spell level + the Syringe’s Intelligence bonus. When the Syringe gets 0 spells per day of a given spell level he gains only the bonus spells he would be entitled to based on his Intelligence score for that spell level.

Secret Plan

This may be done by snickering triumphantly, smiling, or even indicating through combat, possibly by being a bit lazier than usual with her strikes. Her opponent must make a Sense Motive Check with a DC of 20+Syringe class level+Intelligence Modifier, or suffer a -4 penalty to Sense Motive checks for the rest of the day.

Hit Die
d6

Class Skills
The Butterfly's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Heal (Wis), Knowledge (all skills, taken individually) (Int), Profession (Wis), and Spellcraft (Int).
Skill Points at 1st level: (4+Int Modifier) x 4
Skill Points at Each Additional Level: 2 + Int modifier.

Class Features
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Butterflies are proficient with all simple weapons. They are not proficient with any type of armor or shield.

Spells: A Butterfly casts divine spells, but her spell knowlede is limited, like a sorceror. Your butterfly begins play knowing four 0-level spells (inori) and two 1st-level spells of your choice, plus one 0-level spell and one 1st-level spell that are determined by your school. At each level, the butterfly gains one or more new spells. One spell of every level is determined by the Butterfly's school; sometimes these spells are normal spells on the butterfly spell list, but often they are additions to the spell list. A butterfly is limited to casting a certain number of spells of each level per day, but she need not prepare her spells in advance. A butterfly may use a higher-level slot to cast a lower-level spell is she so chooses. To learn or cast a spell, a butterfly must have a Charisma score of at least 10 + the spell's level. The Difficulty Class for saving throws against butterfly spells is 10 + the spell's level + the butterfly's Charisma modifier. Casting metamagic spells takes a full round if the spell is normally a standard action. If casting the spell takes longer, it takes an extra full-round action to cast the spell. Butterflies cannot use the Quicken Spell metamagic feat.

Element Focus: All Butterflies have a favored element: Earth, Fire, Metal, Water, or Wood. They gain additional spells of that element from a special list, but they cannot cast spells of an element that overcomes element.
Earth is overcome by Wood, which is overcome by metal, which is overcome by fire, which is overcome by Water, which is overcome by Earth.
Conversely, a Butterfly's favored element gives them an advantage in casting another kind of element. Spells of the element that a Butterfly's favored element 'generates' are allowed to have metamagic applied to them without the additional time of casting.
Water generates wood, which generates fire, which generates earth, which generates metal, which generates water.
Butterflies automatically gain the benefits of the Spell Focus feat for spells from their favored element.

Nature Sense
As the druid ability of the same name.

Wild Empathy
As the druid ability of the same name.

Spells per Day/Spells Known/BAB/Fort/Ref/Will: As druid.

You use your highest caster level to determine the level at which you turns plants.

Each creature you conjure with any summon spell gains a +4 enhancement bonus to Strength and Constitution for the duration of the spell that summoned it.

Energy Resistance [Any]
Add 5 to your energy resistance towards the energy type that your favored element corresponds with.

The bonus stacks.

Elemental Combat Casting [Any]
You get a +2 bonus on Concentration checks made to cast a spell or use a spell-like ability of your favored element while on the defensive or while you are grappling or pinned. This stacks with the normal Combat Casting.

Wow. *claps* Great stuff, good flavor, awesome plot hook or complemementary location for an Oriental Adventures campaign. A few clerical errors in there that you may want to look up, but no major mistakes. Needles seem a bit weak, especially for use in an umbrall: 1-20 damage, based on a dance check, then another check versus the opponent's AC to see if they hit? Rather difficult to do damage I'd say. Also, I'm not sure how a one-handed fan could possibly hold thirty needles within it.

Now for your classes. Good flavor, though I didn't look all that closely for errors. One thing is that Toils seem more like an NPC class. I can't see any PC having too much fun with this particular class, what with the constant crafting and no real fighting or diplomatic uses and all.

All in all, a great supplement to keep on hand whenever a boat is taken to whatever fabled eastern continents your campaign world has.

Also, I'm not sure how a one-handed fan could hold 30 needles

Well, this is the same world were someone can call giant monsters from other dimensions. They just craft it very carefully :)

I kind of agree with you on the Toil thing, I completely forgot to give the toil the combat abilities I had planned on it, so I guess I need to work on that too.

[SilveryCord]

Hate to double post, but does anyone know if there are already rules for a weapon similar to my umbrella? I can't really go the route of rolling a different attack roll for each one, and I don't really like how it is currently set up...

[Brickwall]

A multi-needle shooter? Sorry, but there's a reason they haven't come out with anything that can shoot up to 20 ammunition at a time. It's just not right. You need at least a level 3 spell to access that kind of power, and this could be done at level 1 with a well-made character.

It needs nerfing. Much, much nerfing.

[NullAshton]

This reminds me a lot of Naruto.

[SilveryCord]

Bleh, Brickwall's no fun :)

I've significantly nerfed it, and I'm planning to rework everything dealing with needle-loading and such. (Fans included)

And as a side note, I completely dislike Naruto. Go figure :)

[Brickwall]

He's referring probably to a specific set of weapons one temporary character used. They were umbrellas made of needles (really nettles, but functionally needles) that could only be seperated with ninja abilities. The similarities are astounding.

Also the giant war fan. There's one of those too.

Anyway, I think that dancing would not be necessary to shoot needles, just as lion taming isn't necessary to crack a whip. Remember that no weapon should rely on anything besides an attack roll. It's just not done. Flavor or not, there's a reason they made the combat system.

[SilveryCord]

Well, Naruto stole that from real life. There are such umbrellas in existance, but as you can imagine, I'm sure they're difficult to use. I guess art does imitate life :)
