THE VESTIGE SUMMONER

Come into the world once more and fight for me!

-A Vestige Summoner calling Haures to his side.

Few dare to call to creatures of the beyond for help and even fewer do so as regularly as Binders, who house these beings, these Vestiges, in their own bodies to gain power. Among those few Binders, some try to bring more of the Vestiges into the world, to make them more solid and to serve them. After a century of study, they have succeeded and now the secret has begun to spread.


BECOMING A VESTIGE SUMMONER
The only real way to become a Vestige Summoner is to be a Binder, though it's possible to enter the class with a few Binder levels less than normal using the Improved Binding feat; in those cases, a dip in a class that provide benefit to an ally could fit well for when you eventually begin summoning, such as Bard or Marshal.

Weapon Proficiencies: You gain no proficiency with any weapons or armor.

Soulbinding (Su): At each Vestige Summoner level, your soulbinding ability improves as if you had also gained a level in a class that grants the soulbinding class features. Your Vestige Summoner levels stack with those levels for the purpose of determining your bonus on binding checks, the effectiveness of your Vestige-granted abilities, your ability to bind higher level Vestiges, and the number of Vestiges you can bind. You do not, however, gain any other benefit that those levels would have granted you.

Vestige Summoning (Su): After spending a long time studying Vestiges and summoning, you’ve finally uncovered the secret of bringing a Vestige into the world. Starting at 1st level, you can summon any one Vestige of a level equal to your class level that you have currently bound; the Vestige appears adjacent to you and stays summoned for 5 minutes per class level, (to a maximum of 40 minutes at level 8). This is a full-round action that provokes an attack of opportunity; if you take damage (including ongoing damage), the summoning fails unless you succeed on a Concentration check (DC equal to 10 + damage dealt), and you do not expend a use of this ability if you fail the Concentration check. The Vestige appears adjacent to you and acts during your turn and follows all your orders, even a suicidal one. You can only have one Vestige summoned at a time (but see Vestiges Horde, below).

For the duration of this ability you lose all abilities granted by the Vestige and its sign, if it was visible, disappears. The Vestige can’t in any way harm you, even indirectly, and no form of compulsion can force it to do so. If you are killed while the Vestige is still present, it immediately disappears. If you become unconscious, the Vestige will do its utmost to protect you for as long as the summoning lasts. You can end the summoning as a swift action at any time but if you do so before the normal duration of the summoning has elapsed your pact with the Vestige immediately become a poor pact (placing you under the Vestige influence as normal), if it was already a poor pact you immediately take a -1 penalty on attack rolls, saves and checks as if you had ignored the vestige influence for the rest of the day. If the Vestige is killed, it immediately disappears, you regain all its granted abilities and you lose the ability to summon this Vestige for the rest of the day. Any effect (spell, power or other) created by the Vestige with a duration other than instantaneous ends when the summoning ends.

You can use this ability once per day at 1st level, twice at 3rd, thrice at 5th and four times at 7th. If you a summon a Vestige multiple times during the same day, it does not regain the use of any per day ability it may have each time, such as spells or spell-like abilities. At 8th level this ability can be used as a standard action, though it still provokes an attack of opportunity. Despite its name, this ability does not count as a summoning effect because, in reality, the Vestige Summoner extracts the Vestige from his body and grant it physical form. The various Vestige statistics can be found below and they improve as you gain levels; each entry give detail on what this entails.

Vestige Gratitude (Su): Any Vestiges you bind knows that you have the ability to let them experience the world once again, even for a brief time; as such, they are more eager to bind themselves to you. At 1st level, you gain an insight bonus equal to twice your class level on binding checks.

Dismissal (Sp) After mastering the way to bring Vestiges into the world, the magic of summoning has no secret for you and you can use that to send the summoned beings of others back from where they came. Starting at 2nd level, you can use dismissal as the spell three times per day with a caster level equal to your character level. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Share Power (Su): Despite being temporarily grant a body on this plane, the Vestige is still linked to you in some way and you can use that to augment their power even further. As a free action when summoning a Vestige, you can choose to share with it some of the power of the other Vestiges still bound to you. The summoned Vestige gains the benefit of any passive abilities granted by the Vestige(s) still bound to you. Passive abilities are defined as abilities that do not necessitate an action to use but that grant some sort of benefit from the moment you make the pact with the Vestige to the moment the pact ends. For example, a Binder 12 / Vestige Summoner 6 bound to Andromalius, Geryon and Ronove could summon Geryon, losing all abilities granted by this Vestige and sharing with him the passive abilities of Andromalius and Ronove, which are Sense Trickery and Sneak Attack from Andromalius and Cold Iron and Magic Attacks, Feather’s Fall, Ronove’s Fists and Sprint from Ronove. While sharing abilities in this way, both you and the summoned Vestige bear the signs of the Vestiges still bound to you and you can’t suppress it for as long as the Vestige stays summoned.

Throw into the Void (Su): Your experience with bringing Vestiges from their place outside reality into the world allows you to reverse the process and briefly send a foe into the void, where madness overtakes them. Starting at level 6, three times per day, you can banish any one creature within 30ft into the void between dimensions for 2d4 minutes. This is a standard action that provokes an attack of opportunity; if you take damage (including ongoing damage), the banishment fails unless you succeed on a Concentration check (DC equal to 10 + damage dealt). You do not expend a use of this ability if you fail the Concentration check. After this time has passed, the creature reappears where it had been when this ability was used. If this location is filled with a solid object, the creature appears in the nearest open space, taking 5d6 points of damage in the process. In addition, when the creature reappears, she must make a Will save (DC 18 + your Charisma modifier) or become permanently confused. This can be reversed in only two ways: either a wish, miracle or equivalent ability or the creature can attempt another Will save, at the same DC, once per day to try to regain control of herself. If you wish, you can use this ability on yourself, in which case you do not need to make the save when coming back. While away, you can’t take any action.

Vestige Horde (Su): Now experienced with summoning Vestiges, you can call them all at once to overwhelm your foe. Once per day, you can summon all the Vestiges bound to you simultaneously; if you want, you can choose to only summon some of them, leaving the others bound to you as normal. This is a full-round action that provokes an attack of opportunity. If you take damage (including ongoing damage), the summoning fails unless you succeed on a Concentration check (DC equal to 10 + damage dealt). You do not expend a use of this ability if you fail the Concentration check. Each Vestige appears within 20 feet of your position; unlike a normal Vestige summoning, this only lasts 1 minute and you can’t have any Vestiges already summoned when using this ability or it fails. You can use your Share Power ability when using Vestige Horde, granting the power to all summoned Vestiges. Using this ability does not count against your use of your Vestiges Summoning ability.

PLAYING A VESTIGE SUMMONER
Vestige Summoners can be played almost exactly like a Binder but with an added layer of strategy because you must choose your bound Vestiges, with an additional criteria of what they can do once summoned.

Once you gain the Share Power ability, you must also take into account the abilities that the Vestiges can grant to each other. Finally, you must strike a balance between what Vestiges you retain bound to conserve some combat potential and how many you wish to summon.
Combat: Depending on your remaining uses of Vestige Summoning for the day, you will first need to choose if it’s worth it to summon one or not; if not, you play as normal, using all that your Vestiges' granted abilities; if you wish to summon a Vestige, this should be your first action during the combat and you should stay away from your foe to avoid attacks of opportunity. Once the Vestige is summoned, you should use your remaining abilities to support it while it lays waste to your foes.
Advancement: Standard binding feats are still very useful to you; feats that augment your Concentration check could also be a good investment. Anything that allows you to better support your summoned Vestige is also a good investment.
Resources: Same as standard Binder, with perhaps a little more support from those that aspire to become Vestige Summoners themselves.

VESTIGE SUMMONERS IN THE WORLD
One day we stumbled upon a fight between this lone guy against multiple demons. We were ready to intervene to help him when suddenly this thing came out of his body. Suddenly, we weren’t sure we really wanted to help him.

-An adventurer who once stumbled upon a Vestige Summoner fighting demons.

Mostly the same as Binders for those that know of them, so persecution in some places and amalgam with spellcasters in others. Those that know of their special powers are rare, even greater hatred from those that hate Binders to begin with, fear from those that witness a summoning and admiration from Binders who want to learn the secret of how to do the same.
Daily Life: Same as with Binder, but with perhaps even more secrecy and, on some occasions, time spent teaching other Binders.
Notables: Vestige Summoners are pretty secretive and a recent development, so the only well known figure is the creator of the art, Heltir Dres, a Half-Elf Binder who taught as many Binders his secrets before dying.
Organizations: No formal organizations exist but often you will see a Vestige Summoner with another Binder, learning his secrets.

NPC Reactions
Fear and hatred mostly, unless they’re Binders themselves. A few sages also admire Vestige Summoners for the impressive feat of bringing, even briefly, a creature from the beyond into the world.

VESTIGE SUMMONERS IN THE GAME
Vestige Summoners are slightly more powerful and versatile than standard Binders but they’re a little more fragile and their ability can be disrupted.
Adaptation: None really, but the Vestiges could be used as standard monsters or guardians for temples for Vestiges; in that case, they’re not the Vestige themselves but just a copy.

Sidebar: The Vestige subtypes:

A Vestige creature is the physical manifestation of a Vestige. A Vestige creature counts as extraplanar for all effects that would send an extraplanar creature back to its plane, but the Vestige is instead sent back into the body of the creature that summoned them. If a Vestige possesses some form of equipment, only it can use it, it can't be sundered nor stolen; if it leaves the possession of the Vestige, it disappears immediately and reappears on the Vestige's body or hand as appropriate, the only exception being thrown weapons and ammunition that disappears only after the attack is resolved. In addition, nearly all Vestiges have the following traits:

Tongues (Su): All vestiges can speak with any creature that has a language, as though using a tongues spell (caster level 14th). This ability is always active.
DR equal to 10, bypassed only by a weapon opposed to at least one component of their alignment; for example, Amon is Chaotic Evil, so any Lawful or Good weapon bypass his DR.
Spell resistances equal to 10 + HD



Sidebar: Vestige Progression:

Vestiges increase in power as you gain in levels in the Vestiges Summoner class; this is detailed in an altered stat block containing only the lines that need to be changed. These changes are cumulative, so if the Vestige gains an additional Hit Dice that grants it a feat, even if the following Hit Dice does not, the new feat is not lost.
Remember to also adjusted the save DCs, caster level, area of effect or other variables that depend on Hit Dice. This may also apply in case of an increase of an ability score.

Dwarf Traits:

Hill dwarf base land speed is 20 feet. However, hill dwarves can move at this speed even when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load (unlike other creatures, whose speed is reduced in such situations).
Stonecunning: This ability grants a hill dwarf a +2 racial bonus on Search checks to notice unusual stonework, such as sliding walls, stonework traps, new construction (even when built to match the old), unsafe stone surfaces, shaky stone ceilings, and the like. Something that isn’t stone but that is disguised as stone also counts as unusual stonework. A hill dwarf who merely comes within 10 feet of unusual stonework can make a Search check as if he were actively searching, and a hill dwarf can use the Search skill to find stonework traps as a rogue can. A hill dwarf can also intuit depth, sensing his approximate depth underground as naturally as a human can sense which way is up.
Weapon Familiarity: Hill dwarves may treat dwarven waraxes and dwarven urgroshes as martial weapons, rather than exotic weapons.
Stability: A hill dwarf gains a +4 bonus on ability checks made to resist being bull rushed or tripped when standing on the ground (but not when climbing, flying, riding, or otherwise not standing firmly on the ground).
+2 racial bonus on saving throws against poison, spell and spell-like ability.
+1 racial bonus on attack rolls against orcs and goblinoids.
+4 dodge bonus to Armor Class against monsters of the giant type. Any time a creature loses its Dexterity bonus (if any) to Armor Class, such as when it’s caught flat-footed, it loses its dodge bonus, too.
+2 racial bonus on Appraise and Craft checks that are related to stone or metal items.


Dungeon Crasher (Ex): Aym gains a +4 competence bonus on saves and to Armor Class when attacked by traps. She also gain a +10 bonus on Strength checks to break a door, wall, or similar obstacle. In addition, she gains a special benefit when making a bull rush. If she forces an opponent to move into a wall or other solid object, he stops as normal. However, her momentum crushes him against it, dealing an amount of bludgeoning damage equal to 8d6 points+3*Str Mod.

Halo of Fire (Su): Aym is constantly surround by a Halo of flame; any opponent that strikes her in melee takes 1d6 point of fire damage, unless it is using a weapon with exceptional reach.
She also deals 1d6 point of fire damage with each melee touch attack she makes. She can suppress or reactivate this ability as a standard action.

Ruinous Attack (Ex): Aym's melee attacks deal double damage to objects and are treated as adamantine for the purpose of overcoming Damage Reduction.

Branding Iron (Su): Once per round as a standard action Aym can make a melee touch attack dealing 1d6 points of fire damage (plus another 1d6 points of fire damage if Halo of fire is activated) against a corporeal creature, when doing so her Waraxe briefly changed into a star shaped branding iron. If she succeed on her touch attack and deal at least one points of damage the creature is branded. Aym gain several benefit against a branded creature as follow: she gain a +2 bonus on attack roll made against the creature, she ignore all form of miss chance the creature may posses, such as from cover (even total cover), a blink, blur, mirror image spell or similar effect, she gain a +2 dodge bonus to AC against all attack from the creature and she is never caught flat-footed by the creature. Aym can only have one branded creature at time and the branded dissipate when the creature is healed of the damage deal by the branding (or when Aym is dismissed).

All around Vision (Ex): Aym multiple head give her a few benefit, she cannot be flanked and she gain a +2 bonus on Search and Spot check.

Elf Traits:

Immunity to magic sleep effects, and a +2 racial saving throw bonus against enchantment spells or effects.
+2 racial bonus on Listen, Search, and Spot checks. A high elf who merely passes within 5 feet of a secret or concealed door is entitled to a Search check to notice it as if she were actively looking for it.


Superior Low-Light Vision (Ex): Leraje can see four time as far as her light source would normally illuminate.

Ricochet (Ex): As a standard action, Leraje can make a single ranged attack against two adjacent targets. She makes a single attack roll and applies the result to the Armor Class of both targets. Any hit she scores deals damage to the target normally. Extra damage from abilities such as sneak attack or sudden strike apply to only one target, which must be designated prior to making the attack roll.

Bow Proficiency (Ex): Leraje gains a +1 competence bonus on attack rolls made with composite longbow, composite shortbow, longbow and shortbow.

Greater Magic Bow (Su): Any bow Leraje wield is considered to be under the effect of a greater magic weapon spell with a CL equal to her Hit Dice +2.

Wild Empathy (Ex): Leraje can improve the attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check to improve the attitude of a person. She rolls 1d20 and adds 11 to determine the wild empathy check result. The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly.
To use wild empathy, Leraje and the animal must be able to study each other, which means that they must be within 30 feet of one another under normal visibility conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute, but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time.
Leraje can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but he takes a –4 penalty on the check.

Elf Favored EnemyRoW (Ex):
-Leraje gains a +9 bonus Bluff, Listen, Sense Motive, Spot, and Survival checks against Humanoids (Orc). Likewise, she gets a +9 bonus on weapon damage rolls against such creatures.
-She gains a +3 bonus Bluff, Listen, Sense Motive, Spot, and Survival checks against Undead. Likewise, she gets a +3 bonus on weapon damage rolls against such creatures.
-She gains a +2 bonus Bluff, Listen, Sense Motive, Spot, and Survival checks against Outsiders (Evil). Likewise, she gets a +2 bonus on weapon damage rolls against such creatures.

Distracting AttackPHBII (Ex): Whenever Leraje hits an enemy with a weapon attack (whether melee or ranged), that enemy is considered flanked by her for the purpose of adjudicating her allies’ attacks. For example, if a rogue ally attacked that enemy, not only would she gain a +2 bonus on her melee attack roll but she could also add her sneak attack damage to a successful melee attack. This flanked condition lasts until either the enemy is attacked by one of her allies or until the start of her next turn, whichever comes first. This ability has no effect on creatures that can’t be flanked.

Woodland Stride (Ex): Leraje may move through any sort of undergrowth (such as natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas and similar terrain) at her normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment.
However, thorns, briars and overgrown areas that are enchanted or magically manipulated to impede motion still affect her.

Swift Tracker (Ex): Leraje can move at her normal speed while following tracks without taking the normal –5 penalty. She takes only a –10 penalty (instead of the normal –20) when moving at up to twice normal speed while tracking.

Evasion (Ex): Leraje can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If she makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if she is wearing light armor or no armor. If helpless, she does not gain the benefit of evasion.

Ronove, the Iron Maiden
CR 11
Ronove looks like a rusted iron sarcophagus floating a few inches above the ground. When in movement, you can see ghostly legs coming from it. When attacking, translucent arms come out to strike.

Human Traits (Ex):

Human base land speed is 30 feet.
1 extra feat at 1st level.
4 extra skill points at 1st level and 1 extra skill point at each additional level.


Cold Iron Attacks (Su): Ronove's melee attacks count as Cold Iron for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction.

Far Hand (Su): As a swift action, Ronove can lift and move an unattended object within 120 feet of her position to which she has line of effect. The force manipulating the object is considered Medium in size, and it has a Strength score of 12. During the swift action, Ronove can move the object up to 60 feet. If the object weight enough to constitute a medium or heavy load for an individual of the force’s Strength, Ronove can move it only 30 feet. If the object to be moved would constitute a medium or heavy load for Ronove (51lb or more under normal condition), activating this ability is a move action. If the item could only be pushed or dragged by such as Ronove, she can move it just 5 feet per move action. The force cannot lift the object more than 5 feet off the ground. In any round during which Ronove does not use a swift action to manipulate the object, she loses control of it. She can never move an object more than 120 feet away, and she loses control of the object if she moves more than 120 feet from it or a creature touches it. She can move only one object at a time in this fashion.
Alternatively, she can use the telekinetic force to push a creature as a standard action. The force deals 1d6 points of damage to the target and initiates a bull rush, using the force’s Strength modifier and adding a +2 bonus. If the bull rush is successful, the target moves in the direction she indicates. Once she have used far hand in this way, it dissipates and she cannot use it again for 5 rounds.

Feather Fall (Su): Ronove automatically falls as though under the influence of a feather fall spell. She can suppress or activate this ability as a standard action.

AC Bonus (Ex): When unarmored and unencumbered, Ronove adds her Wisdom bonus (if any) to her AC. In addition, Ronove gains a +1 bonus to AC at 5th level. This bonus increases by 1 for every five monk levels thereafter (+2 at 10th, +3 at 15th, and +4 at 20th level).
These bonuses to AC apply even against touch attacks or when Ronove is flat-footed. She loses these bonuses when she is immobilized or helpless, when she wears any armor, when she carries a shield, or when she carries a medium or heavy load. See the monk ability for more details.

Flurry of Blows (Ex): Ronove can make two additional unarmed attacks at her highest base attack bonus each time she makes a full-attack. See the monk ability for more details.

Unarmed Strike (Ex): As the monk ability.

Evasion (Ex): Ronove can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If she makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if she is wearing light armor or no armor. If helpless, she does not gain the benefit of evasion.

Fast Movement (Ex): Ronove gains an enhancement bonus to her speed depending on her monk level (+10ft at 3rd, +20ft at 6th, +30ft at 9th, +40ft at 12th, +50ft at 15th and +60ft at 18th). See the monk ability for more details.

Still Mind (Ex): Ronove gains a +2 bonus on saving throws against spells and effects from the school of enchantment.

Ki Strike (Su): Ronove's unarmed attack are treated as magic and lawful for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. See the monk ability for more details.

Water StepSto (Ex): Ronove can move across short distances of water. The maximum distance across which she can move depends on her monk level (20ft at 4th, 30ft at 6th, 40ft at 8th, 50ft at 10th, 60ft at 12th, 70ft at 14th, 80 ft at 16th and 90ft at 18th). She can divide her water step movement between two consecutive turns, as long as she begins or ends every turn on solid ground. If she exceeds this distance without setting foot on land (or some other solid footing), or stops moving while still on water, she immediately fall in. She can use water step as part of other actions, including charging or running, and can even make Tumble checks while using water step.

Wholeness of Body (Su): Ronove can heal her own wounds. She can heal 24 hit points per day, and she can spread this healing out among several uses.

Purity of Body (Ex): Ronove gains immunity to all diseases except for supernatural and magical diseases.

Improved Evasion (Ex): Ronove’s evasion ability improves. She still takes no damage on a successful Reflex saving throw against attacks, but henceforth she takes only half damage on a failed save. A helpless monk does not gain the benefit of improved evasion.

Diamond Body (Su): Ronove gains immunity to poisons of all kinds.

Quivering Palm (Su): Ronove can set up vibrations within the body of another creature that can thereafter be fatal if the monk so desires. She can use this quivering palm attack once a week, and she must announce her intent before making her attack roll. Constructs, oozes, plants, undead, incorporeal creatures, and creatures immune to critical hits cannot be affected. Otherwise, if she strikes successfully and the target takes damage from the blow, the quivering palm attack succeeds. Thereafter, Ronove can try to slay the victim at any later time, as long as the attempt is made within a number of days equal to her monk level. To make such an attempt, Ronove merely wills the target to die (a free action), and unless the target makes a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 monk’s level + the monk’s Wis modifier), it dies. If the saving throw is successful, the target is no longer in danger from that particular quivering palm attack, but it may still be affected by another one at a later time.

Soul Binding: As the standard binder ability but with a few additional conditions. Dahlver-Nar can bind a Vestige but, being a Vestige himself, he must always be bound to at least “himself”. This has for consequence of changing or augmenting his power that comes from being a Vestige instead of granting him two uses of the same ability. See below for details on those abilities. In addition, when summoned, if Dahlver-Nar has the ability to bind more than one Vestige, he is automatically bound to a Vestige that the Vestige Summoner has currently bound and of a level that he could bind himself. He does not need to draw the vestige seal or make a binding check. Dahlver-Nar's pact with himself is always a good pact but with any other vestiges it’s a bad pact. For example, a Binder 12/Vestige Summoner 7 has currently bound Dahlver-Nar, Karsus and Shax. If summoned by this summoner, Dahlver-Nar will have the ability to bind two vestiges of up to fifth level (because of his Improved Binding feat); the first one will be himself, the second one will be Karsus because Shax is of too high level for him to make a pact with. The Vestige Summoner won’t lose his pact with Karsus, both the Summoner and Dahlver-Nar will be bound with Karsus.

Domain Granted Power:
-Madness: Dahlver-Nar gains an Insanity score of 4 (half his cleric level). For spellcasting (determining bonus spells and DCs), Dahlver-Nar uses his Wisdom score plus his Insanity score in place of Wisdom alone.
For all other purposes, such as skills and saves, use Wisdom minus Insanity in place of Wisdom.
Once per day, Dahlver-Nar can see and act with the clarity of true madness. Use Dahlver-Nar’s Insanity score as a positive rather than a negative modifier on a single roll involving Wisdom. Choose to use this power before the roll is made.
-Chaos: Dahlver-Nar cast chaos spells at +1 caster level.

Aura (Ex): Dahlver-Nar possesses a strong chaotic aura.

Spontaneous Domain CastingPHBII: Dahlver-Nar can convert stored spell energy into a spell of one of the Chaos domain. He can “lose” any prepared spell (other than a domain spell) to cast any spell of the same level or lower from the Chaos domain list.

Turn Undead (Su): Dahlver-Nar can turn or destroy undead creatures. He may attempt to turn undead a number of times per day equal to 3 + his Charisma modifier.

Pact Augmentation (Su): As the binder ability.

Suppress Sign (Ex): As the binder ability.

Mad Soul (Su): Dahlver-Nar is immune to Wisdom damage, Wisdom drain, madness, insanity and confusion effects.

Maddening Moan (Su): Dahlver-Nar can emit a frightful moan as a standard action. Every creature within a 60-foot spread must succeed on a Will save (DC 10+1/2HD+Cha modifier+3) or be dazed for 1 round. Once he has used this ability, he must wait for 4 rounds before he can use it again. Maddening moan is a mind-affecting sonic ability.
Note: The increase in spread and reduction in number of round of “recharge” come from being bound to himself.

Natural Armor (Ex): Dahlver-Nar gains an enhancement bonus to his natural armor equal to his constitution modifier.
Note: This doubles the normal bonus of only half constitution modifier.

Shield Self (Su): At will as a standard action, Dahlver-Nar can designate one creature within 10 feet per Hit Dice to share the damage he takes. As long as the subject creature remain in range, Dahlver-Nar takes only a third of the damage from all effects that deals hit points damage, and he takes the rest. The effect end immediately if he designates another creature or if either he or the subject dies. Any damage dealt to him after the effects ends is no longer split between him and the subject, but damage already split is not reassigned to him. Dahlver-Nar can only affect one creature at a time with this ability. An unwilling target of this ability can attempt a Will save (DC 10+1/2HD+Cha modifier+1) to negate the effect.
Note: This reduce the damage taken to a third instead of half.

Link (Ex): A druid can handle her animal companion as a free action, or push it as a move action, even if she doesn’t have any ranks in the Handle Animal skill. The druid gains a +4 circumstance bonus on all wild empathy checks and Handle Animal checks made regarding an animal companion.

Share Spells (Ex): At the druid’s option, she may have any spell (but not any spell-like ability) she casts upon herself also affect her animal companion. The animal companion must be within 5 feet of her at the time of casting to receive the benefit. If the spell or effect has a duration other than instantaneous, it stops affecting the animal companion if the companion moves farther than 5 feet away and will not affect the animal again, even if it returns to the druid before the duration expires.
Additionally, the druid may cast a spell with a target of “You” on her animal companion (as a touch range spell) instead of on herself. A druid and her animal companion can share spells even if the spells normally do not affect creatures of the companion’s type (animal).


Nature Sense (Ex): A druid gains a +2 bonus on Knowledge (nature) and Survival checks.

Wild Empathy (Ex): A druid can improve the attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check made to improve the attitude of a person. The druid rolls 1d20 and adds her druid level and her Charisma modifier to determine the wild empathy check result.
The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly.
To use wild empathy, the druid and the animal must be able to study each other, which means that they must be within 30 feet of one another under normal conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time.
A druid can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but she takes a –4 penalty on the check.

AC bonus (Ex): Malphas ninja level granted her a bonus to AC when unarmored and unencumbered, he also adds his wisdom bonus to his armor class. (See the ninja description for more detail)

Ki Power (Su): Malphas can use his Ki power a number of time per day equal to half his ninja level plus his wisdom modifier (+3 from his Expanded Ki Pool feat). He can use those power only when unarmored and unencumbered.

Sudden strike (Ex): When striking a target denied his dexterity bonus to AC Malphas deal additional d6 damage depending on his ninja level. This apply to range attack only against target within 30ft. Creature with concealment or immune to critical hit are immune to sudden strike. (See the ninja description for more detail)

Trapfinding (Ex): As a ninja Malphas can use the Search skill to locate traps when the task has a Difficulty Class higher than 20. (See the rogue class features)

Ghost Step (Su): By spending on daily use of his Ki power as a swift action Malphas can turn invisible or ethereal for 1 round. (See the ninja description for more detail)

Poison use (Ex): Malphas never risk accidentally poisoning himself when applying poison to a weapon.

Great leap (Ex): Malphas always make Jump checks as if he was running and had the Run feat, enabling him to make long jump without a running start and granting a +4 bonus on the jump. He can only use this ability if he is unarmored and unencumbered.

Acrobatics (Ex): Malphas gain a +2 bonus on Climb, Jump and Tumble check.

Ki dodge (Su): By spending on daily use of his Ki power as a swift action Malphas can gain concealment (20% miss chance) against all attack for one round. (See the ninja description for more detail). (See the ninja description for more detail)

Speed Climb (Ex): Malphas can climb at her speed as a move action at no penality, however he must begin and end the round on an horizontal surface, otherwise he fall. He need only one hand free to use this ability but he can only use this ability if he is unarmored and unencumbered. (See the ninja description for more detail)

Ghost Strike (Su): As a move action Malphas can spend one daily us of his Ki power to make his next attack either affect incorporeal or ethereal creature as if they were corporeal, or he can make his next attack affect material creature while he is ethereal. (See the ninja description for more detail)

Darkvision out to 60 feet and low-light vision.
Immunity to acid, cold, and petrification.
Resistance to electricity 10 and fire 10.
+4 racial bonus on saves against poison.
Protective Aura (Su): Against attacks made or effects created by evil creatures, this ability provides a +4 deflection bonus to AC and a +4 resistance bonus on saving throws to anyone within 20 feet of the angel. Otherwise, it functions as a magic circle against evil effect and a lesser globe of invulnerability, both with a radius of 20 feet (caster level equals angel’s HD). (The defensive benefits from the circle are not included in an angel’s statistics block.)
Tongues (Su): All angels can speak with any creature that has a language, as though using a tongues spell (caster level equal to angel’s Hit Dice). This ability is always active.

Move ally (Su): Savnok can instantly swap position with any visible willing ally within 5ft per two Hit Dice of his positions. Objects carried by him or the ally (up to the maximum load for each) go along, but creatures do not. The movement is instantaneous and does not provoke attacks of opportunity. Using this ability is a move or swift action. Once he used this ability he cannot use it again for 5 rounds.

Savnok’s armor (Ex): When wearing heavy armor Savnok gain damage reduction equal to 1+1 per four HD overcome only by magic and piercing weapon.

Armored speed (Ex): Savnok can move at normal speed even when wearing medium or heavy armor.

Savnok’s Provocation (Ex): Three time per day, as a swift action, Savnok can make an Intimidate check against any one creature with an intelligence score of at least 3 that is within 30ft of him. The creature must make a Will save (DC equal to the result of the Intimidate check - 10) or become focus on Savnok until the rest of the encounter. The creature is forced to attack Savnok with its ranged or melee attacks in preference over other available targets. If the creature attacks by casting a spell or using a supernatural ability, it must target Savnok with the attack or include him in the effect’s area. An opponent compelled to act in this manner is not throw into a mindless rage and does not have to move to attack Savnok in melee if doing so would provoke attacks of opportunity against him. In such a case, he can use ranged attacks against you or attack any opponents he threatens as normal.

Human trait (Ex):

Human base land speed is 30 feet.
1 extra feat at 1st level.
4 extra skill points at 1st level and 1 extra skill point at each additional level.


Jester’s Mirth (Su): As a standard action Andromalius can cause an opponent to break into uncontrollable laughter. This ability function like a Tasha’s hideous laughter spell (caster level equal to Hit dice), except that an affected creature can make an additional saving throw at the end of each of his turns to end the effect, (DC 10+1/2HD+Cha modifier). Once he has used this ability he must wait for 5 rounds before he can use it again

Locate Item (Su): At will, Andromalius can sense the direction of any well know or clearly visualized item that lies within 100ft per Hit dice of his location. If he wish to find a specific object, this ability work only if he has seen the objects first hand and can accurately visualize its pecularities.
Otherwise the direction of the nearest object of the same type is revealed. He can sense the direction of only one item each round. This ability does not reveal the direction to a disguised object unless he can clearly visualized it’s disguised form, nor does it tell you the distance to the object.

See the unseen (Su): At will, Andromalius can use see invisibility as the spell (caster level equal to Hit dice)

Sense trickery (Ex): Andromalius gain a +4 bonus on Spot check made to oppose Disguise checks. In addition, he automatically notice when a creature uses Sleight of hand to take something from him.

Vestige items (Su): Andromalius wield a different object in each of his twenty-four hands, those are a belt purse, a silver key, a gold ring, a pair of dice, a copper coin, a dagger, an apple, an arm bone, a scroll, a comb, a whistle, a fish hook, a mirror, an egg, a potion, a dead spider, an oak leaf, a human skull, a lock, a closed black book, a bell, a dove, a set of lock pick and a mouse. Andromalius either always have these object in hand or is juggling with them. Four of these object can be used as weapon and are describe as such in the above stat block, these are the dagger of course, the arm bone used as like a light mace, the fish hook use like a sickle and the bell used like a light mace. The potion is a potion of invisibility, Andromalius is the only one that can use it. In addition the set of lock pick is considered to be a masterwork Thieve’s tool. At the DM discretion the other item may be used as masterwork tool for other appropriate skill but only if using them as such leave them in Andromalius hand. For example the black book could be used with a knowledge skill.

Sneak Attack: Andromalius deal additional damage when his target are denied their dexterity bonus to AC or when he flank the target. See the rogue class features for more detail.

Trapfinding As a rogue Andromalius can use the Search skill to locate traps when the task has a Difficulty Class higher than 20. (See the rogue class features)

Evasion (Ex): Andromalius can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If he makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, he instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if he is wearing light armor or no armor. When helpless he does not gain the benefit of evasion.

Trap sense (Ex): Andromalius gains an intuitive sense that alerts him to danger from traps, giving her a +1 bonus on Reflex saves made to avoid traps and a +1 dodge bonus to AC against attacks made by traps. These bonuses rise to +2 when the rogue reaches 6th level, to +3 when she reaches 9th level, to +4 when she reaches 12th level, to +5 at 15th, and to +6 at 18th level.

Uncanny dodge (Ex): Andromalius can react to danger before his senses would normally allow him to do so. He retains his Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) even if he is caught flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker. However, he still loses his Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized.

Improved uncanny dodge (Ex): Andromalius can no longer be flanked. This defense denies another rogue the ability to sneak attack him by flanking him, unless the attacker has at least four more rogue levels than him.

Skill Mastery: When making an Appraise, Spot, Sense motive, Sleight of hand or Disable Device checks, Andromalius may take 10 even if stress and distractions would normally prevent him from doing so.

Slippery Mind (Ex): If Andromalius is affected by an enchantment spell or effect and fails his saving throw, he can attempt it again 1 round later at the same DC. He gets only this one extra chance to succeed on his saving throw.

Heavy Magic (Su): The saves DC for each and every magic item Karsus use increase by 2.

Karsus’s Sense (Su): Karsus can sense magic auras as easily as other can detect odors, and concentrating on them reveals them to his sight. When he concentrate, a standard action, he automatically detect the number of different aura within 30 feet, and the power of the most potent aura within 30 feet, as though he had cast detect magic on the area and concentrate for 2 rounds. He does not need to concentrate to maintain this effect, but concentrating for 1 additional round reveals the location and strength of the auras in the area. A third round of concentration allows him to determine the school of a particular aura automatically. Additional rounds of concentration reveal the school of other auras. He cannot use this ability if he is blinded, but otherwise functions as detect magic for the purpose of concealment and materials pierced. If he encounter an aura of overwhelming strength, however he is dazzled so long as he remains within range of Karsus’s Sense.

Karsus’s Touch (Su): Karsus can produce a Dispel magic effect with a touch, attack against a creature or an object as a standard action that does not provoke attack of opportunity. He can then make a Dispel check (1d20 + Hit dice, maximum +20) against each ongoing spell currently in effect on the object or creature. The DC for this check is 11 + the spell caster level. If he succeed on a particular check, that spell is dispelled; if he fail, it remain in effect.
If he target an object or creature that is the effect of an ongoing spell (such as a summoned monster or a conjured object), he must touch the target and make a dispel check to end the spell that brought it into being. targeting a spell effect that is not an object or a creature (such as the flames of a wall of fire) has no effect.
If the touched object is a magic item, he must make a dispel check (the DC is the item’s caster level). If he succeed, all the item’s magical properties are suppressed for 1d4 rounds, after which the item recovers on it’s own. An interdimensional interface (such as a bag of holding) is temporarily closed by this effect. A suppressed item becomes nonmagical for the duration, but it’s physical properties are unchanged, so a suppressed magic sword is still a masterwork sword.
He can use Karsus’s touch a number of times per day equal to his Hit dice. Once he has used this ability, you cannot do so again for rounds.

Familliar: Karsus does not posses any familliar

Karsus’s Item: Karsus magical equipment take the form of arcane rune engraved on his stone body, they otherwise functioned in all way like standard magical item. This does not affect item from other source he may use such as wand.

Half-Elf trait (Ex):

Base land speed is 30 feet.
Immunity to sleep spells and similar magical effects, and a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against enchantment spells or effects.
Low-Light Vision: A half-elf can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. She retains the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.
+1 racial bonus on Listen, Search, and Spot checks.
+2 racial bonus on Diplomacy and Gather Information checks.
Elven Blood: For all effects related to race, a half-elf is considered an elf.


Dances of Death (Su): When Paimon use this ability, he can move up to his speed and make a single attack against any creature he move past, provoking attack of opportunity normally. When he use Dance of Death, he forfeit any bonus or extra attack granted by other feat or abilities (such as the Cleave feat or the haste spell), and he cannot attack any single creature more than once. Once Amon has used this ability he must wait for 5 rounds before he can use it again.

Paimon’s Blades: The blade that replace Paimon arms and legs count as both primary natural weapons and manufactured weapons for the purpose of feat, spell or other effect that depend on weapon type to function. For the purpose of weapon qualities, such as damage or critical threat range, the blade are treated as both Rapier and Short sword whichever is the most advantageous, this is also true for effect that apply to a specific weapon, such as the weapon focus feat. Paimon can never attack with more than 3 different blades during a full-attack action because he always stand on at least one unless he is flying or underwater, in those case he can use all four.
Finally despite the presence of the blades Paimon can wear magic item in his feet, hand and ring slot the item simply changed into big ring that fit above the blade but they function normally.

Feat RogueUA/Srd: As a Feat Rogue Paimon gain bonus fighter feat, at first level and at every even rogue level after that, instead of gaining the sneak attack ability.

Trapfinding As a rogue Paimon can use the Search skill to locate traps when the task has a Difficulty Class higher than 20. (See the rogue class features)

Evasion (Ex): Paimon can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If he makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, he instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if he is wearing light armor or no armor. When helpless he does not gain the benefit of evasion.

Trap sense (Ex): Paimon gains an intuitive sense that alerts him to danger from traps, giving her a +1 bonus on Reflex saves made to avoid traps and a +1 dodge bonus to AC against attacks made by traps. These bonuses rise to +2 when the rogue reaches 6th level.

Uncanny dodge (Ex): Paimon can react to danger before his senses would normally allow him to do so. He retains his Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) even if she is caught flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker. However, he still loses his Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized.

Improved uncanny dodge (Ex): Paimon can no longer be flanked. This defense denies another rogue the ability to sneak attack him by flanking him, unless the attacker has at least four more rogue levels than him.

Canny Defense (Ex): When not wearing armor or using a shield, Paimon adds 1 point of Intelligence bonus (if any) per duelist class level to her Dexterity bonus to modify Armor Class while wielding a melee weapon. If he is caught flat-footed or otherwise denied her Dexterity bonus, she also loses this bonus.

Improved reaction (Ex): Paimon gains a +2 bonus on initiative checks.
At 8th level of duelist, the bonus increases to +4. This bonus stacks with the benefit provided by the Improved Initiative feat.

Enhanced Mobility (Ex): When wearing no armor and not using a shield, Paimon gains an additional +4 bonus to AC against attacks of opportunity caused when he moves out of a threatened square.

Grace (Ex): Paimon gains an additional +2 competence bonus on all Reflex saving throws. This ability functions for him only when he is wearing no armor and not using a shield.

Precise Strike (Ex): Paimon gains the ability to strike precisely with a light or one-handed piercing weapon, gaining an extra 1d6 damage added to her normal damage roll.
When making a precise strike, he cannot attack with a weapon in his other hand or use a shield. His precise strike only works against living creatures with discernible anatomies. Any creature that is immune to critical hits is not vulnerable to a precise strike, and any item or ability that protects a creature from critical hits also protects a creature from a precise strike. At 10th level of duelist, the extra damage on a precise strike increases to +2d6.

Good and Evil (Ex): Andras spend so long fighting for both the side of good and evil that has a vestige he became above such concept. Andras can choose to be treat as either good or evil whichever would be the most advantageous to him at any given time.

If he accidentally smites a creature that is not evil or good, the smite has no effect. Once Andras has used this ability he must wait for 5 rounds before he can use it again.

Sow Discord (Su): As a standard action Andras can force an enemy to attack a randomly determined ally within reach on his next action, and he must do so as his first attack. The target must be within 5 feet per two Hit dice and a successful Will save (DC 10 + ½ Hit dice + Cha modifier) negates the effect. The affected foe must strike for lethal damage with a primary attack and use whatever melee weapon is in hand (or an unarmed strike or natural weapon if no weapon is at the ready).

Divine Grace (Su): Andras gains a bonus equal to her Charisma bonus (if any) on all saving throws

Lay on hands (Su): Andras can heal wounds (his own or those of others) by touch. Each day he can heal a total number of hit points of damage equal to his paladin level × his Charisma bonus. A paladin may choose to divide his healing among multiple recipients, and he doesn’t have to use it all at once. Using lay on hands is a standard action.
Alternatively, he can use any or all of this healing power to deal damage to undead creatures. Using lay on hands in this way requires a successful melee touch attack and doesn’t provoke an attack of opportunity.

Trip (Ex): A dire wolf that hits with a bite attack can attempt to trip its opponent (+11 check modifier) as a free action without making a touch attack or provoking an attack of opportunity. If the attempt fails, the opponent cannot react to trip the dire wolf.

Skills: A dire wolf has a +2 racial bonus on Hide, Listen, Move Silently, and Spot checks.
*It also has a +4 racial bonus on Survival checks when tracking by scent.

Smite Good (Su):Once per day the creature can make a normal melee attack to deal extra damage equal to its HD total (maximum of +20) against a good foe.

Empathic Link (Su): Andras has an empathic link with his mount out to a distance of up to 1 mile. He cannot see through the mount’s eyes, but they can communicate empathically.
Note that even intelligent mounts see the world differently from humans, so misunderstandings are always possible. Because of this empathic link, Andras has the same connection to an item or place that her mount does, just as with a master and his familiar (see Familiars).

Improved Evasion (Ex): When subjected to an attack that normally allows a Reflex saving throw for half damage, a mount takes no damage if it makes a successful saving throw and half damage if the saving throw fails.

Share Spells: At his option, Andras may have any spell (but not any spell-like ability) he casts on himself also affect his mount. The mount must be within 5 feet at the time of casting to receive the benefit. If the spell or effect has a duration other than instantaneous, it stops affecting the mount if it moves farther than 5 feet away and will not affect the mount again even if it returns to the paladin before the duration expires. Additionally, the paladin may cast a spell with a target of “You” on his mount (as a touch range spell) instead of on himself. A paladin and her mount can share spells even if the spells normally do not affect creatures of the mount’s type (magical beast).

Share Saving Throws: For each of its saving throws, the mount uses its own base save bonus or Andras, whichever is higher. The mount applies its own ability modifiers to saves, and it doesn’t share any other bonuses on saves that the master might have. This is taken into account in the above statblock.

Improved Speed (Ex): The mount’s speed increases by 10 feet.

Speak with Blackguard (Ex): Andras and his mount can communicate verbally as if they were using a common language. Other creatures do not understand the communication without magical help.

Protective Aura (Su): Against attacks made or effects created by evil creatures, this ability provides a +4 deflection bonus to AC and a +4 resistance bonus on saving throws to anyone within 20 feet of the angel. Otherwise, it functions as a magic circle against evil effect and a lesser globe of invulnerability, both with a radius of 20 feet (caster level equals angel’s HD). (The defensive benefits from the circle are not included in an angel’s statistics block.)
Tongues (Su): All angels can speak with any creature that has a language, as though using a tongues spell (caster level equal to angel’s Hit Dice). This ability is always active.

Once inside, the opponent takes 2d8+8 points of bludgeoning damage plus 2d6+8 points of acid damage plus 1d6 points of cold damage per round from Balam’s gizzard.

City-Dweller (Ex): Desharis can move at his normal rate when moving through a crowd, rather than requiring two squares of movement for every square as is normal.

Infinite Doors (Su): Once per day, Desharis can pass through an exterior doorway (one that leads from inside a building to outside), and appear through another exterior doorway within 3,000 yards. The two doors must both be set in buildings made of similar materials; for instance, he could pass from a wooden building to another wooden building, or a stone building to another stone building. Desharis can either select a specific door with which he is familiar as the destination, or simply declare that he is appearing through the closest appropriate door to a given distance. (If no appropriate portal exists within range or in the direction you wish to travel, the effect does not function.) This is a teleportation effect.

Smite Natural Soul (Su): Desharis may attempt to smite an animal, elemental, fey, or plant with a single melee attack. He add his Charisma bonus (if any) to the attack roll and deal 1 extra point of damage per Hit dice. If he accidentally smite a creature that is not one of the above types, the attempt has no effect. Once he has used this ability, he cannot do so again for 5 rounds.

Spirits of the City (Su): Desharis can animate objects, as the spell, as a caster of his Hit dice. Once he has used this ability, he must wait 5 rounds after the effect has expired, or all the objects have been destroyed, before he may do so again.

Regeneration (Ex): When in a city or town, at least 900 inhabitants, takes only damage from the natural weapons of animal, fey or plant creature.

Telepathy (Ex): While inside a city or town, at least 900 inhabitants, Desharis can communicate telepathically with any sentient (int 3 or more) creature within the city limit and up to one miles outside it.

Ghostly trait: Before becoming a Vestiges, Haures was a Ghost and while is statue as undead was never is defining characteristic, is statue as an incorporeal creature was. This is because this was a way for him to become a sort of illusion, is specialty. As such he retain a number of trait as a Vestiges:

Armor class: Natural armor bonus applies only to ethereal encounters. He gains a deflection bonus equal to its Charisma modifier or +1, whichever is higher against attack from the Material plane.
Corrupting Touch (Su): If Haures hits a living target with its incorporeal touch attack, he deals 1d6 points of damage. Against ethereal opponents, he adds its Strength modifier to attack and damage rolls. Against nonethereal opponents, he adds its Dexterity modifier to attack rolls only.
Permanent Manifestation (Su): Unlike a normal ghost Haures is always manifest and always exist in both the Ethereal Plane and the Material Plane. He is visible and incorporeal. He can be harmed only by other incorporeal creatures, magic weapons, or spells, with a 50% chance to ignore any damage from a corporeal source. He can pass through solid objects at will, and its own attacks pass through armor. He always moves silently. He can strike with its touch attack or with a ghost touch weapon. On the Ethereal Plane, he is not incorporeal. He can be attacked by opponents on either the Material Plane or the Ethereal Plane. His incorporeality helps protect him from foes on the Material Plane, but not from foes on the Ethereal Plane.
Telekinesis (Su): Haures can use telekinesis as a standard action (caster level equal to HD). When he uses this power, he must wait 1d4 rounds before using it again.
Skills: Haures have a +8 racial bonus on Hide, Listen, Search, and Spot checks.


Detect Though (Su): Haures can continuously use detect thoughts as the spell (caster level 18th; Will DC 13 + Charisma modifier negates). It can suppress or resume this ability as a free action.

Change Shape (Su): Haures can assume any humanoid form, or revert to its own form, as a standard action. In humanoid form, a rakshasa loses its claw and bite attacks (although it often equips itself with weapons and armor instead). A rakshasa remains in one form until it chooses to assume a new one. A change in form cannot be dispelled, but the rakshasa reverts to its natural form when killed. A true seeing spell reveals its natural form.
In addition Haures can take the shape of a tiger in this shape his statistic change as follow:

Grp +17
Atk Options Improved grab (only on the Ethereal Plane), Pounce, Rake (Att: +12, Dmg: 1d8+1) (only on the Ethereal Plane)

Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a tiger must hit with a claw or bite attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can rake.

Pounce (Ex): If a tiger charges a foe, it can make a full attack, including two rake attacks.

Rake (Ex): Attack bonus +12 melee, damage 1d8+1.


Skills: As a rakshasa, Haures has a +4 racial bonus on Bluff and Disguise checks, and he can gain further bonuses by using change shape (+10 on Disguise checks) and detect thoughts (+4 on Bluff and Disguise checks).

Inaccessible Mind (Ex): Haures is protected from any effort to detect, influence or read his emotions or thoughts and he has immunity to mind-affecting effect as if he was protected by a mind blank spell. He can suppress or activate this ability as a standard action.

Major Image (Su): Haures can create illusion at will, as though he had cast Major image (caster level equal to his Hit dice). A creature can attempt a Will save to realize the illusion is false (DC 10 + ½ Hit dice + Charisma modifier + 2). Haures can never create more than one major image at a time, and he can renew or dismiss the effects as a standard action. Once he has used this ability, he cannot do so again for 5 rounds.

Phantasmal Killer (Su): This ability function like the phantasmal killer spell except for the range and save DCs (10 + ½ Hit dice + Charisma modifier + 2) (the ability still requires a Will save, and possibly a fortitude spell) to resist. Haures can target any single creature within 10 feet per Hit dice. Once he has used this ability, he cannot do so again for 5 rounds.

Freedom of Movement (Su): As a swift action, Shax can give herself the ability to ignore restraints. This effect function like the Freedom of Movement spell except that it last only 1 round. Once she has used this ability, she cannot do so again for 5 rounds.

Storm Strike (Su): As a swift action, Shax can charge a melee attack or melee touch attack with electricity and sonic power. Her next melee attack deals an extra 1d6 points of electricity damage and 1d6 points of sonic damage. If the attack misses the uses of storm strike is wasted.

Water breathing (Ex): Shax can breathe underwater indefinitely and can freely use her abilities while underwater.

Dominating Contact (Su): When in a grapple Shax can dominate her foe as if using the dominate monster spell (caster level equal to her Hit dice, Will saves (DC 10 + ½ HD + Cha + 2) negates) as a standard action. Only the sustained contact of a grapple is sufficient to for her to establish dominance, a simple touch attack as no effect. Shax can control a dominated creature only so long as she maintain physicals contact with it. Doing so usually requires her to remain in the dominated creature’s square and either ride on or be carried by its victim. This, she typically attempt to dominate very strong or large individuals than can support her easily unless she intend to gain a brief benefit such as forcing a spellcaster to use some spells against her allies. Shax can stand next to a dominate creature and simply hold it with a Hair lash, but such arrangement is risky in combat.

Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, Shax must hit an opponent with a hair lash attack. She can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If she wins the grapple check, she establishes a hold and can try to dominate the opponent in the following round. Shax has a +10 racial bonus on grapple checks, which is included in the statistics above.

Skills: Shax has a +8 racial bonus on any Climb or Swim check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. She can always choose to take 10 on a Climb or Swim check, even if distracted or endangered. In addition Shax also has a +10 racial bonus on all knowledge check.

Smite Good (Su): Once per day the creature can make a normal melee attack to deal extra damage equal to its HD total (maximum of +20) against a good foe.
DR 10/ magic

Disease (Ex): Vanus is constantly covered in crawling maggot. This as two consequence, first any creature touching Vanus with in any way with a body part, such as with a natural attack, a touch attack to deliver a spell or during a grapple, is infected with Slimy doom (Fortitude save DC 14, 1d4 con damage) but without incubation period. Second any creature that Vanus successfully damage with his rapier is infected with Devil Chills (Fortitude save DC 14, 1d4 str damage) also with no incubation period.

Fear Aura (Su): Enemies that Vanus is aware of who come within 10 feet of him must succeed at a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 Hit Dice + Cha modifier + 2). Those who fail are either shaken or frightened; Vanus decide which for each. Foes remain shaken or frightened for a number of rounds equal to half his Hit dice. Creatures that fail the save must roll again if they again come within 10 feet after the duration expires, but not before. A creature that makes its save against this ability need not make another save for 24 hours. This is a mind-affecting fear effect.

Free ally (Su): Vanus may designate any ally within 5 feet per Hit dice to gain the benefits of the freedom of movement spell or the gaseous form spell. The ally may also take an immediate move action that it can only use to move (and not to draw a weapon, etc.). The benefits the ally gains apply only during Vanus turn. Thus, at the end of Vanus turn, the ally reverts to its natural form.
He can instead use this ability to free a creature from an imprisonment spell or Halphax’s imprison ability if he witnessed its imprisonment.
He cannot use this ability on himself. Once he has used this ability he cannot do so again for 5 rounds.

Yuan-Ti trait: Before becoming a vestige Zagan was a the epitome of it mean to be a Yuan-ti and he retain those trait to this day.

Alertness and Blind-Fight as bonus feat.
Spell-Like Abilities (see above)
Alternate Form (Sp): (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#alternateForm) Zagan can assume the form of a Tiny to Large Viper.
Detect Poison (Sp): Zagan automatically know if any creature, object, or area that he can see within 60ft is poisoned or is poisonous. He can determine the exact type of poison with a DC 20 Wisdom check. He may try a DC 20 Craft (alchemy) check if the Wisdom check fails, or may try the Craft (alchemy) check prior to the Wisdom check.
This effect can penetrate barriers, but 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt blocks it. This is the equivalent of a 0 level spell, it can be dispelled and is considered to be a spell effect with a caster level equal to Zagan hit dice for this purpose, but Zagan can reactivate it at the start of the next round as a free action.
Chameleon power (Sp): As a standard action, Zagan can gain a +10 circumstances bonus on hide check by changing the color of it’s skin. This bonus last ten minutes but is usable at will.
Produce Acid (Sp): As a standard action, Zagan can exude acid from his body, dealing 5d6 points of acid damage to the next creature it touches, including a creature hits by his bite attack. If he is grappling or pinning a foe when he use this ability, his grasp deals 7d6 points of acid damage. The acid becomes inert when it leaves his body, and Zagan is immune to its effect.
Poison (Ex): Bite--Injury, Fortitude DC (10+1/2HD+Con+2), 1d6 Con/1d6 Con.
Scent special quality


Aversion (Su): As a sandard action, Zagan can create a compulsion effect targeting any creature within 30 feet. The target must succeed on a Will save (DC 10 + ½ Hit dice + Cha modifier + 2) or gain an aversion to him, snakes, and yuan-ti for 5 rounds. An affected creature must stay at least 20 feet away from him or any snake or yuan-ti, alive or dead; if already within 20 feet, the target moves away. Any subject unable to move away or attacked by Zagan, a snake, or a yuan-ti is overcome with revulsion. This reduction reduces the creature’s Dexterity score by 4 points until the effect wears off or the subject is no longer within 20 feet of the source of the revulsion (you, a snake or a yuan-ti). This ability is otherwise similar to the antipathy spell (PHB p200), with a caster level equal to his Hit dice. Aversion is a mind-affecting compulsion ability. After using this ability, Zagan must wait 5 rounds before using it again.

Constricts (Ex): On a successful grapple check, Zagan deals 1d8+1,5 Strength modifier points of damage, in addition to his normal unarmed damage.

Snake Bane (Ex): Zagan’s hatred for snakes, yuan-ti, and all snake-like creature gives you improved combat prowess against their kind. He gain a +2 bonus on melee attack roll against snakes, yuan-ti, snakelike creatures (such as nagas), or creatures with a natural poison attack, and he deal an extra 2d6 points of damage against such foes when making melee attacks. This damage also applies when he make a grapple check to deal damage against such creature in addition to dealing his normal unarmed damage and constrict damage.

Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, Zagan must hit an opponent least one size category smaller than himself with his bite attack. He can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If he wins the grapple check, he establishes a hold and can constrict.

Turn and Rebuke Snakes (Su): Zagan can Turn, Rebuke or command any Snakelike creatures (snakes, yuan-ti, naga, etc...) as a good or evil cleric turn, rebukes or commands undead, his effective cleric level for this purposes his equal to his Hit dice. The choice of turning, rebuking or commanding must be done each time Zagan use this ability. He can use this ability a total number of times per day equal to 3 + Charisma modifier.

Skills: Zagan has a +8 racial bonus on any Climb or Swim check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. He can always choose to take 10 on a Climb or Swim check, even if distracted or endangered.

Summon Alien: Zceryll unnatural connection with the Far realm as influenced her spellcasting ability in a peculiar way. She can use the Summon monster spell (of all level she as access to if she know it at this level) at will, in practice she posses an infinite number of spell slot of level 1 through 9 that she can only use for Summon monster spell. These infinite spell slot can only be use for this purpose and no other.

Zceryll is restrict on how often she can use a Summon Monster spell, she must wait at least 5 rounds between each casting of the spell otherwise it automatically fail. She also cannot use a normal spell slot to cast a Summon Monster spell only those provide by this ability. Casting a Summon Monster spell otherwise function like casting any other spell for her.

Half-Elf Trait:

Base land speed is 30 feet.
Immunity to sleep spells and similar magical effects, and a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against enchantment spells or effects.
Low-Light Vision: A half-elf can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. She retains the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.
+1 racial bonus on Listen, Search, and Spot checks.
+2 racial bonus on Diplomacy and Gather Information checks.
Elven Blood: For all effects related to race, a half-elf is considered an elf.

Chromatic Strike (Su): As a free action, Eligor can charge a melee attack or melee touch attack with acid, cold, electricity or fire. His next melee attack deals an extra 1d6 points of damage of the chosen energy type. He can charge a single melee attack only once, but he can charge multiple different attack in a round as long as he can use a free action do to so.

Detect Good (Sp): Eligor can use Detect Good at will.

Smite Good (Su): Four time a day, Eligor may attempt to smite good with one normal melee attack. He adds his Charisma modifier (if positive) to his attack roll and deals 1 extra point of damage per class level. If he accidentally smites a creature that is not good, the smite has no effect but it is still used up for that day.

Divine Grace (Su): Eligor gains a bonus equal to her Charisma bonus (if any) on all saving throws

Deadly Touch (Su): Eligor can cause wounds with a successful touch attack. Each day he can deal a total number of hit points of damage equal to his paladin level x his Charisma bonus. An opponent subjected to this attack can make a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 paladin level + paladin's Cha modifier) to halve the damage dealt. Alternatively, he can use any or all of this power to cure damage to undead creatures, just as an inflict wounds spell does.

Aura of Despair (Su): Eligor radiates a malign aura that causes enemies within 10 feet of him to take a -2 penalty on all saving throws.

Divine Health (Su): Eligor is immune to all diseases, including supernatural and magical diseases.

Rebuke DragonDM (Su): Eligor can channel divine energy to rebuke (awe) or command (control) dragons. This ability functions as an evil cleric rebuking undead. It is more difficult to rebuke or command dragons that share Eligor moral or ethical bent. Any lawful or evil dragon is treated as having turn resistance +2 against this ability. Any lawful evil dragon is treated as having turn resistance +4 against this ability. Eligor can also use this ability to bolster a dragon against an attempt by another creature to use its own rebuke dragons ability (the same way an evil cleric can bolster undead against turning). Eligor can only bolster lawful or evil dragon. An attempt to rebuke dragons counts as an attempt to turn or rebuke undead for the purpose of qualifying for or activating divine feats, or for using other abilities that require Eligor to expend a use of his turn or rebuke ability.

Cause Disease (Sp): Eligor can inflict disease with his touch (as the contagion spell) four times per week.

Special Mount: Eligor posses a Half-Dragon Warhorse as a Special mount. Eligor can’t dismount unless his mount his killed and he always appear mounted. When summoning Eligor roll on the following table to determine the color, alignment, breath weapon and immunity of his mount.

Trained for War (Ex): A warhorse is proficient with all type of armor.

Breath weapon (Su): A half dragon posses a breath weapon dealing 6d8 points of damage, a successful Reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 HD + Con modifier) reduces damage by half. The type of damage and the shape of the breath weapon depend on the half-dragon color as determined by the table above.

Empathic Link (Su): Eligor has an empathic link with his mount out to a distance of up to 1 mile. He cannot see through the mount’s eyes, but they can communicate empathically.
Note that even intelligent mounts see the world differently from humans, so misunderstandings are always possible. Because of this empathic link, Eligor has the same connection to an item or place that her mount does, just as with a master and his familiar (see Familiars).

Improved Evasion (Ex): When subjected to an attack that normally allows a Reflex saving throw for half damage, a mount takes no damage if it makes a successful saving throw and half damage if the saving throw fails.

Share Spells: At his option, Eligor may have any spell (but not any spell-like ability) he casts on himself also affect his mount. The mount must be within 5 feet at the time of casting to receive the benefit. If the spell or effect has a duration other than instantaneous, it stops affecting the mount if it moves farther than 5 feet away and will not affect the mount again even if it returns to the paladin before the duration expires. Additionally, the paladin may cast a spell with a target of “You” on his mount (as a touch range spell) instead of on himself. A paladin and her mount can share spells even if the spells normally do not affect creatures of the mount’s type (magical beast).

Share Saving Throws: For each of its saving throws, the mount uses its own base save bonus or Andras, whichever is higher. The mount applies its own ability modifiers to saves, and it doesn’t share any other bonuses on saves that the master might have. This is taken into account in the above statblock.

Command (Sp): Once per day per two paladin levels of its master, a mount can use this ability to command other any normal animal of approximately the same kind as itself (for warhorses and warponies, this category includes donkeys, mules, and ponies), as long as the target creature has fewer Hit Dice than the mount. This ability functions like the command spell, but the mount must make a DC 21 Concentration check to succeed if it’s being ridden at the time. If the check fails, the ability does not work that time, but it still counts against the mount’s daily uses. Each target may attempt a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 paladin’s level + paladin’s Cha modifier) to negate the effect.

Human trait:
-1 extra feat at 1st level.
-4 extra skill points at 1st level and 1 extra skill point at each additional level.

Fiery Retribution (Su): Marchosias deal an additional 3d6 points of fire damage when he strike an opponent who can deal extra damage through a sneak attack, sudden strike or skirmish attack. This extra damage apply only if the opponents is within 30 feet.

Smoke Form (Su): Marchosias can assume the form of a smoke cloud at will. This ability function like the gaseous form spell, except that he can remain gaseous for as long as he wish. although he lose his supernatural abilities while gaseous, he do not lose the ability to remain in gaseous form. While in Smoke Form Marchosias cannot study an opponent for the purpose of making a death attack. He can suppress or activate this ability as a standard action. Once he has returned to his normal form from Smoke Form, he cannot regain it for 5 rounds.

Fire Scepter: Marchosias wield a Fire Scepter, it act as Fire Staff (Burning hand 1 charges, Fireball 1 charges, Wall of Fire 2 charges) with 20 charge per day but Marchosias can use without needing to make Use magic devices check as if the spell were on his spell list. In addition the Fire Scepter may be used a +1 Flaming Light mace.

Sneak Attack: Marchosias deal additional damage when his target are denied their dexterity bonus to AC or when he flank the target. See the rogue class features for more detail.

Trapfinding: As a rogue Marchosias can use the Search skill to locate traps when the task has a Difficulty Class higher than 20. (See the rogue class features)

Evasion (Ex): Marchosias can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If he makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, he instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if he is wearing light armor or no armor. When helpless he does not gain the benefit of evasion.

Penetrating StrikeDu (Ex): Whenever Marchosias flank a creature that is immune to extra damage from sneak attacks, he still deal extra damage equal to his normal sneak attack dice. This benefit does not apply against creature that cannot be flanked, nor against foes that are not otherwise denied their Dexterity bonus to AC or flat-footed but not flanked.

Disruptive AttackPHBII (Ex): Whenever Marchosias hit a target that is flat-footed against his attack, or whenever he hit a target that he flank, he can choose to sacrifice his sneak attack damage in order to apply a –5 penalty to that creature’s AC for 1 round. Multiple hits on the same target don’t stack. This extraordinary ability works even against creatures normally immune to extra damage from sneak attacks, such as undead.

Uncanny dodge (Ex): Marchosias can react to danger before his senses would normally allow him to do so. He retains his Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) even if he is caught flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker. However, he still loses his Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized.

Improved uncanny dodge (Ex): Marchosias can no longer be flanked. This defense denies another rogue the ability to sneak attack him by flanking him, unless the attacker has at least four more rogue levels than him.

Death Attack: If Marchosias studies his victim for 3 rounds and then makes a sneak attack with a melee weapon that successfully deals damage, the sneak attack has the additional effect of possibly either paralyzing or killing the target (Marchosias’s choice). While studying the victim, he can undertake other actions so long as his attention stays focused on the target and the target does not detect him or recognize him as an enemy. If the victim of such an attack fails a Fortitude save (DC 10 + ½ Hit dice + the assassin's Int or Cha modifier whichever is higher + 2) against the kill effect, she dies. If the saving throw fails against the paralysis effect, the victim is rendered helpless and unable to act for 1d6 rounds plus 1 round per hit dice. If the victim’s saving throw succeeds, the attack is just a normal sneak attack. Once Marchosias has completed the 3 rounds of study, he must make the death attack within the next 3 rounds. If a death attack is attempted and fails (the victim makes her save) or if he does not launch the attack within 3 rounds of completing the study, 3 new rounds of study are required before he can attempt another death attack.
Note: Marchosias death attack differ a little from the standard assassin death attack in that it use his Hit dice instead of his assassin level to determine it’s effectiveness and the saves can be Intelligence or Charisma based.

Poison use: Marchosias is trained in the use of poison and never risk accidentally poisoning himselves when applying poison to a blade.

Saves bonus against poison (Ex): Marchosias gains a +4 saving throw bonus against all poisons. This bonus increase to +5 at assassin level 10th.

Hide In Plain Sight (Su): Marchosias can use the Hide skill even while being observed. As long as he is within 10 feet of some sort of shadow, he can hide himself from view in the open without having anything to actually hide behind. He cannot, however, hide in his own shadow.

Double nature: Abysm statue as a vestige made it an Outsider but it is composed of thousand of fragment of psicrystal and as such it is also a Construct.

Immunity to all mind-affecting effects.
Immunity to poison, sleep effects, paralysis, stunning, disease, death effects, and necromancy effects.
Not subject to critical hits, nonlethal damage, ability damage, ability drain, fatigue, exhaustion, or energy drain.
Immunity to any effect that requires a Fortitude save (unless the effect also works on objects, or is harmless).
Not at risk of death from massive damage. Immediately destroyed when reduced to 0 hit points or less.

Swarm Trait:

Cannot be flanked
Immune to critical hits.
Immune to weapon damage
Cannot be tripped, grappled, or bull rushed, and in turn it cannot grapple an opponent.
Immune to any spell or effect that targets a specific number of creatures (including single-target
spells such as disintegrate) but see Manifesting below, with the exception of mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, phantasms, patterns, and morale effects)
It takes half again as much damage (+50%) from spells or effects that affect an area, such as splash
weapons and many evocation spells.
Susceptible to high winds such as that created by a gust of wind spell


Distraction (Ex): Any living creature vulnerable to a swarm’s damage that begins its turn with a swarm in its square is nauseated for 1 round; a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 swarm’s HD + swarm’s Con modifier) negates the effect. Spellcasting or concentrating on spells within the area of a swarm requires a Concentration check (DC 20 + spell level). Using skills that involve patience and concentration requires a DC 20 Concentration check.

Psicrystal trait: Being a conglomerat of psionic soul and fragment of psicrystal, Abysm posses some psicrystal trait as if he was his own master, as follow:

It gain Alertness as a bonus feat.
Improved Evasion: If Abysm is subjected to an attack that normally allows a Reflex saving throw for half damage, it takes no damage if it makes a successful saving throw and half damage even if the saving throw fails.
Personality: Abysm posses all possible psicrytal personality, gaining a +3 bonus to a number of skill (see below), a +2 bonus on Fortitudes and Will saves and a +2 on initiative check.
Sighted: Although it has no physical sensory organs, Abysm can telepathically sense its environment as well as a creature with normal vision and hearing. Darkness (even supernatural darkness) is irrelevant, as are areas of supernatural silence, though it still can’t discern invisible or ethereal beings. Abysm’s sighted range is 40 feet. This is in addition to the Darkvision and Low-light vision granted by its type.


Manifesting: Abysm can manifest power as a Psion would. The DC for its power is Int based. Abysm can learn and manifest power from any discipline. Despite his swarm subtype, Abysm may manifest power that target a specific number of creature on himself as if he doesn’t posses a subtype, this may for example allow him to manifest personal range power on himself as if he was a single creature. In addition Abysm can manifest power with a range of touch on any creature he share a square with without needing to make the touch attack, the target is simply affect by the power as if the touch attack was successful, if the power allow Abysm to make touch attack against multiple target it can affect as many creature as allowed as long as they share a square with him.

Temporary Crystal (Su): Abysm can as a full-round action by expending 10 power points and taking 10 hit points of damage (impossible to prevent in any way and temporary hit point do not suffice) create a temporary psicrystal, an independent pieces of himself. This temporary psicrystal appear within a square occupied by Abysm and last 1 hour or until it is destroyed. The temporary psicrystal is automatically destroyed if it is ever more than 1 miles away from Abysm. Abysm can never have more than one temporary psicrystal at a time. This granted Abysm the following abilities:

Share Power (Su): Abysm can have any power (but not any psi-like ability) it manifests on itself also affect its temporary psicrystal. The psicrystal must be within 5 feet of Abysm at the time of the manifestation to receive the benefit. If the power has a duration other than instantaneous, it stops affecting the psicrystal if it moves farther than 5 feet away, and will not affect the psicrystal again, even if it returns to Abysm before the duration expires. Additionally, Abysm can manifest a power with a target of “You” on its temporary psicrystal (as a touch range power) instead of on himself. Abysm and the temporary psicrystal cannot share powers if the powers normally do not affect creatures of the psicrystal’s type (construct).
Telepathic link (Su): Abysm has a telepathic link with its temporary psicrystal out to a distance of up to 1 mile. It cannot see through the psicrystal’s senses, but the two of them can communicate telepathically as if the temporary psicrystal were the target of a mindlink power manifested by Abysm. For instance, a temporary psicrystal placed in a distant room could relay the activities occurring in that room. Because of the telepathic link between a psicrystal and Abysm, Abysm has the same connection to an item or place that the psicrystal does. For instance, if its psicrystal has seen a room, Abysm can teleport into that room as if it has seen it too.
Deliver Touch power (Su): Abysm, can have its temporary psicrystal deliver touch powers for him. If Abysm and the psicrystal are in contact at the time it manifests a touch power, it can designate its psicrystal as the “toucher.” The psicrystal can then deliver the touch power just as Abysm could. As usual, if Abysm manifests another power before the touch is delivered, the touch power dissipates.
Telepathic Speech (Su): Abysm can communicate telepathically with any creature that has a language and is within 30 feet of the psicrystal, while the psicrystal is also within 1 mile of Abysm.
Sight link (Sp): Abysm can remote view the psicrystal (as if manifesting the remote view power) once per day per temporary psicrystal.

Double nature: Primus is a being of pure order, an artificial being, as such before becoming a Vestige it was a Construct. Now when summoned it is considered to be both a Construct and an Outsider whichever is the most advantageous at any given time. It posses trait of both as follow:

Low-light vision
Immunity to all mind-affecting effects.
Immunity to poison, sleep effects, paralysis, stunning, disease, death effects, and necromancy effects.
Not subject to critical hits, nonlethal damage, ability damage, ability drain, fatigue, exhaustion, or energy drain.
Immunity to any effect that requires a Fortitude save (unless the effect also works on objects, or is harmless).
Not at risk of death from massive damage. Immediately destroyed when reduced to 0 hit points or less.


Divine Structure (Ex): If Primus perform the same action on consecutive rounds in the same order, it gain a +1 competence bonus on all attacks saves, and skill checks that round. For example, if it move and make a standard attack, and then in the following round move and make a standard attack, it would gain the bonus. If it move and make a standard attack and then in the next round 5-foot adjust and make a full attack, it would not get the bonus.

Lawful Attacks (Ex): Primus melee and ranged attacks are considered lawful for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction and it deal +1d6 points of damage to any creature of chaotic alignment that it hit with a melee or ranged attack (including touch attacks but not ranged touch attacks).

Primus’s Order (Su): Primus can order a creature within 100 feet to perform a specific action. The creature must be able to hear Primus, but it need not understand the language. Pick a command listed under the command spell when Primus use this ability. If the target fails a Will save (DC 10 + ½ Hit dice + Charisma modifier + 2), it performs the action. In addition, targets that fail their Will save cannot hear or see Primus for 1d4 rounds or until Primus attack it, treating it as though it is under the effect of invisibility and silence spells. Other creatures can perceive Primus normally. This ability is not language-based and can affect creatures even if they are immune to mind-affecting effects. Once Primus has used this ability, it cannot do so again for 5 rounds.

Rebuke Construct (Su): Primus can channel divine energy to rebuke (awe) or command (control) constructs. This ability functions as an evil cleric rebuking undead. It is more difficult to rebuke or command constructs that oppose Primus moral bent. Any chaotic constructs is treated as having turn resistance +2 against this ability. Primus can also use this ability to bolster a construct against an attempt by another creature to use its own rebuke constructs ability (the same way an evil cleric can bolster undead against turning). Primus can only bolster non-chaotic constructs.

Skills: Primus has a +4 racial bonus on Concentration, Gather Information and Sense Motive check.

He can never create more than one arcane eye at a time, and he can dismiss or renew the effect as a standard action. Once he has used this ability, he cannot use it again for 5 rounds.

Far-seeing Gaze (Su): Cabiri spells and spell-like abilities of the scrying subscholl gain a +10 bonus to their save DCs.

Visions of Terror (Su): Cabiri can share his terrible knowledge of existence with others. He can cast phantasmal killer, as per the spell (DC equal 10 + ½ Hit dice + Charisma modifier +2), three times per day (caster level equal to hit dice).

1:Even if Toughness is not normally a fighter bonus feat, taking it in place of one while dealing with the source limitation is reasonable.
2: Without those feat Eligor’s mount can’t fly with medium or heavy armor, so you need to change it to light armor

That's the hardest part, sometimes it's not too bad, the next one I'm working on is Andromalius, it wil be a human rogue with multiweapon fighting, Savnok on the other hand was way harder is big thing is the armor, so i decid to make a tankish creature not very useful in 3.5 but fitting.

Don't worry i won't It's already been two month since I start on this project and motivation is still high. i'm currently making vestige at a rate of one or two per week, no super fast but It's steady so far.

[Cieyrin]

Pretty awesome, I must say. The only thing I can think of is perhaps making Savnok a Knight instead of a Fighter? Being a tank seems more in line there, methinks.

[zagan]

I'm glad you like it.

As for Savnok; knight was my first though too, but for a few reason I decid not too,
the first being that I don't want to deviate too far from core unless it's necessery to portrait a vestige ability, for example Malphas was a ninja no way around that. The second reason was in the backstory of savnok who stat that he was a servant of Heroinous and Hextor, this mean that he was an outsider with a fair number of hit dice so the DC of his knight ability would have been pitiful making it as useless as if he didn't have it.

But if you think that you could portray him better as a knight, I would love the see the result. :smallsmile:
Just keep in mind that you don't need to optimize them, they are supposed to be summoned creature so not stronger than the one that summoned them just specialized in a different area.

[Primal Fury]

This is a very strange class. It is awesome to be sure, but kind of goes against the whole idea behind Vestiges (things that are imprisoned in the void, and can never be set free). But, on the other hand, I quite like the breaking down of barriers of various sorts. Good show.

I will be keeping an eye on this thread.

Yes, it's a little against the vestiges idea, but they're not really set free just put into some sort of avatar. I might elaborate on that aspect later.

Oh. If it's only an avatar, then you could extend the class to ten levels, having the binder summon the actual Vestige as a capstone ability. The great thing about that is that if you keep the requirements the same, they won't be doing that kind of heavy summoning until level 22 (and it's always great to do crazy stuff at Epic levels).

Well the idea is interesting, but I won't do it because i don't know anything about Epic at all and because that would mean that I need to add one more stat block to each vestige for "epic" stat and i already have enough work as it is. Sorry.:smallamused:

[Primal Fury]

Such a shame. I'd do it myself, but I'm not much on statting up monsters, especially epic levels ones.

I wonder if Vorpal Tribble would be willing to help. :smallconfused:

[zagan]

It has taken longer than I though but i'm finnished with Andromalius tell me what you think.
Next Focalor, probably going with only Outsider HD for him.

[Road_Runner]

2 Words

PURE AWESOMENESS.

I'm dying for you to finish this (but no rush) because I'm playing a Binder and I totally want to see if the DM will let me multiclass this, but we're unfortunately nearing the end of the campaign D:

Feel free to ignore this:

one thing that bothers me about this class (it's still really awesome though) is that I don't think vestiges should be easily killed; a 12th level character could take on a weaker vestige, which detracts from their power aspect. Maybe you should just say Summon Vestige summons a manifestation of the vestige, instead of the vestige itself. Just my opinion.

[zagan]

My intend was to allow the summoner to call avatar/manifestation of the vestige not vestiges themselves. I need to make it clearer in the fluff because you'r right they shoudln't be so "weak" some of them were god after all before becoming vestiges.

Edit: Focalor is up, next Karsus I will need to be careful with this one because of the wizard level. Plus his manifestation is weird.

[Cieyrin]

Focalar's first progression has the formula for the Aura of Sadness instead of the actual DC. Other than that, he looks well put together, indeed.

Mmm, perhaps, though I can't say I care for the mangling of the intro and exit by ripping out the original stuff and putting in some crappy band and splicing scenes from the show to make it look tacky. I've also just annoyed with the voice actors 4Kids seems to use, as they're just grating and annoying on my ears.

Maybe I've just gotten jaded...

[zagan]

I'm having a dilema about karsus, at first i want to give him racial hit dice so that he "lose" caster level and never gain more than 6th level spell. I'll justify it by saying that becoming a vestige a weaken his magical power and because he manifeste as a bleeding boulder. But I don't like it much because it seem to be forced just be "balanced".
My other option would be to make him a wizard 18 (at the end when the character reach level 20) and selecting "weak" spell.
For 9th level spell I'm thinking off Foresight and Mage Disjunction, both are usefull and fit Karsus but not game breaking and Mage Disjunction must be used carrefully or you lose loot.
For 8th level, Mind Blank, Moment of prescience +2 other I don't know.

What do you think ? Is carrefully selecting the spell enough to "weaken" it so that summoning a 18th level wizard is not overpowered ?

[peacenlove]

IMO just give him raw damage evocations and debuffs with saving throws and/or load him up with defensive personal spells, reducing somewhat his value as a summon (they exist only to be killed after all).

Yeah, i will do something like that.

EDIT: Although it had taken way longer than planned, Karsus is done I would appreciate if someone could check the spell list for anything too abusable.

Also nobody peach the class itself yet, i would really like feedback on at least the Share power ability and Throw into the void ability, please ?

[Cieyrin]

EDIT: Although it had taken way longer than planned, Karsus is done I would appreciate if someone could check the spell list for anything too abusable.

Karsus appears balancedish, though he may be a little overly utility. That's my impression of his spell list, anyways.

That's fine then, thanks for looking.

[Zaydos]

Looking at the spell list I'd personally replace Contact Other Plane with an attack spell (Cone of Cold could work but is rather meh as a spell) and maybe Break Enchantment as well.

[DracoDei]

Just glanced in at this thread. Why is it 10 minutes per two levels (minimum 10), rather than a straight 5 minutes per level (perhaps still with a 10 minute minimum)? Smooth progressions always appeal to me more.

Throw into the void technically doesn't require Concentration checks for ongoing damage or attacks from readied actions. This seems like a design flaw to me. The basic Vestige summoning ability is worded in such a way that it works (although maybe not for ongoing damage).

Will probably edit in more when and if I read more.

Contact other plane seem fitting to me, because he come from another plane himself but I admit I wasn't sure what to use there. Perhaps Earth reaver from the Spc (p75) to keep with the earth theme ?

Break enchantment is there because it's a "variant" of dispel magic and that's an important part of Karsus theme.

I don't remember why it's 10 per 2 level, perhaps because it's a round number but 5 per level work better your right.

And i'm done with Paimon, the first with level in a Prc but it was such a perfect fit that I think it's justified. Next Agares, pretty easy one slighty modified earth elemental.

[zagan]

Agares is done, It's based on a huge earth elemental and on the archoelemental prince of good and evil from dragon mag (347 and 353) to buff him up. I also changed it's feat. Considering that in effect you get two elemental I think he is good enough.

Andras the next one might take some time both because I need to stat up him and his mount and because I want to try participating in the current Prc contest.

Thanks for the catch, I somehow manage to make an error when copying from the book now. :smallredface:

EDIT: After a long hiatus, Andras is finnaly up. I'm far from satisfied with is AC and Hp but as elf is con is crappy because I need other stat more and is AC is even worse because it's clearly stat that he doesn't use armor. I really wonder how he manage to survive for so long before becoming a vestige. Not with the elite array i'm suing in any case. Ah well it's ability are nice and he manage to be a paladin and a blackguard at the same time so that's cool.

EDIT3: Now astaroth is finished. No comment at all on the last two ? Oh well. For those still folowing next is Buer, I think this one will be fun.

I didn't get an update from my subscription, so I didn't know anything had changed till I popped in. :smallmad:

Anyways, Arete is missing his last couple of feats in his base form. I'm also not sure how a Psion is proficient with a warhammer, though I suppose that's a function of him being an Outsider now. I can't really say much beyond that, as my knowledge of psionics is pretty limited, all things told. I don't get to play with them often, unfortunately.:smallfrown:

Astaroth seems alright, if not amazing, especially the crafting. Since you can only have him around for 40 minutes, tops, you can't exactly take advantage of the fact he can craft, since the usual crafting interval is 8 hours or so. Maybe have accelerated crafting, like 1 minute = 1 hour when he crafts or something?

I'm also curious to see what an epic extension of the Vestige Summoner could do with the epic vestiges. I'd link but Wizards took the article down, much to my chagrin, as I didn't manage to save it prior to that occurring. :smallsigh:

Might want to ask there.

yeah it happen sometimes, thanks for the support.

He only has 14 HD when you can first summoned him.

Elan get free proficiency with longbow, warhammer, armor and shield. Since arete is supposed to be the first Elan i though it fitting to equip him with that.

Yeah it's not the greatest but hey they can't all be. As for the crafting if you summoned him it mean you have him bound so you can craft yourself, you would summon him for crafting only if you need his spell-like ability as prereq when the summoning end you just finish yourself.

I won't work on epic progression for two reason, first I don't know anything about it and second i don't like it much.
I do have saved the epic binder however, if you want it Pm me with your email, I think it's allowed because it was freely given.

[Devigod]

If you're looking at the Elan warrior in Expanded Psionics, I could see how you'd get this idea. Note that his proficiencies come from the warrior NPC class, however. Elans as written gain no such proficiencies.

I used D&D wiki as a source, here (http://dungeons.wikia.com/wiki/SRD:Elans_(Race)), but upon further checking you are right. Ah well outsider give him proficiency anyway so i won't go back to change it.
I will need to be more careful in the futur.

EDIT: Buer as been added, not really powerfull but useful I think particulary against lot of mook. Next Eurynome.

EDIT2: Eurynome is done, she's pretty basic but i like her. Next and last 4th level one Tenebrous.

[Cieyrin]

Buer seems like a nice support summon, like an advanced Unicorn from a SNA.

Eurynome seems like a nice brute, though knowing how many tentacle attacks she gets would be aces. I'm assuming 7, following the normal octopus 8.

She only got 2 tentacle and one of them is used all the time to hold the warhammer. In the illustration she got two on each arm, but because they come from the same shoulder and seem very thin compared to her body I judge that they only count as one. So in round that make four attack with the warhammer and one tentacle or two tentacle (by changing the "hand" that hold the warhammer as a free action)
You think that I need to up that number ?

Also did you receive the epic binder file ?

It would help if I had the book in front of me to look at her picture, I suppose. Warhammer + long range tentacle rape should be fine with just one or two, though I was thinking she perhaps had more to bring far more pain than I thought.


Also did you receive the epic binder file ?

Yes I did, thank you very much, sir. :smallcool:

[zagan]

And Tenebrous is done, I'm really hesitant on this one. I the one hand I had acces to something like four stat block for orcus to use as a base on the other hand I need to make him way weaker without removing all flavor. I hope it turn out alright.

With him i've finished all the vestige up to 4th level, and i'm halfway done (20 done, 18 to go)

And Tenebrous is done, I'm really hesitant on this one. I the one hand I had acces to something like four stat block for orcus to use as a base on the other hand I need to make him way weaker without removing all flavor. I hope it turn out alright.

Two things of note: Is the Shadow Wand of Orcus meant to have half-strength Anarchic and Unholy, as in deals +1d6 to Lawful or Good characters, +2d6 vs. LG characters?

2nd thing: I don't think Spell Focus works on spell-likes, so you probably want to change that to an Ability Focus (normal or Sudden).

[zagan]

That's right, do I need to clarify more ?


2nd thing: I don't think Spell Focus works on spell-likes, so you probably want to change that to an Ability Focus (normal or Sudden).

In all the stat block I could find, he has spell focus (and sometimes greater spell focus) and when I calculate the DC of his spell like ability and compare it to what's given it match. I don't know if it's legal but Wotc use it like it was, so...

[Cieyrin]

That's right, do I need to clarify more ?

The confusion on my part is between the text and the table. The text is clear, the table, not so much.

WotC is infamous for their stat-blocks not being exactly legal. Spells != Spell-likes, hence why there are metamagic specifically for spell-likes and supernaturals.

[zagan]

Okay, I will change it to "+ 1d6 against good or lawful creature, +2d6 again lawful good creature"


WotC is infamous for their stat-blocks not being exactly legal. Spells != Spell-likes, hence why there are metamagic specifically for spell-likes and supernaturals.

I know, I will change it power attack that way I'm sure it's legal, a +1 to DC didn't matter much anyway.

[Torchship]

I must say, I agree with everyone else in calling this homebrew class exceedingly awesome.

That said, I do have some small concerns about the power of the class... it seems to be strictly more powerful than the base Binder. You trade out the ability to use more than two vestiges (at least, until epic) and immunity to negative energy and mind affecting spells for a pretty good minion (or two!), an extra Pact Augmentation and some awesome SLA's. The simplest way to fix this would to not give the Summoner Binding progression on one or two levels, but that feels kinda ham-fisted and doesn't fit the class very well.

Alternatively, you could nerf the SLAs a bit to bring the total power back in line with the base class. Dismissal, as it stands, totally invalidates any kind of summoned enemy in your immediate area for all time. Giving it a cap, say 3/day or 5/day would stop you being able to defeat infinity summoned creatures.

Throw Into The Void, however, seems pretty balanced as it is. Maybe turn it into a touch range spell, since it seems to be primarily an anti-melee ability (and anything that gives melee classes with low Will saves a hand is fine by me). Also, permanent Confusion seems a little steep a punishment, especially if you're casting it on some NPC that the DM wants to keep around. Then again, Wizards can do a similar thing many, many levels earlier, so it can't be that bad... The ability to throw yourself for no penalty is a nice utility feature, I thought.

Finally, I'm not quite happy with the cast time for Vestige Summoning being a mere full round. Binders, at least to me, always seemed like a class that was steeped in long, combat-inconvenient ritual, what with the one minute cast time for normal binding. I'd suggest something similar for this class, but a one minute cast time for a five minute summon would make the class almost unusable (at least for the first couple of levels). I can't really think of any workable alternatives to a full-round action, so I suppose it'll have to stay as-is...

I've got the thread subscribed, and await further development eagerly. I wonder if my DM'll let me play a homebrew class...

The class progree every binding feature including number of vestige. You also are reduce to half-bab and only one good save. But yes it's a powerful Prc simply because of the "minion".

It's based on the mazed spell with reduce duration but you can't use an int check to get out. I might reduce the confusion effect, perhaps allowing a save each day afterward ?

My first instinct was too to make it 1 minute but as you said for the first few level it would be unplayable and I don't want to augment the duration. A full-round action seem reasonable but I might increase it a one round action like for normal summoning spell.

Thank you very much for the support and let me know how it goes if you manage to play it.

[zagan]

Acererak is done, not my favorite but I think it represent him not too badly, at least for an avatar/aspect.

Nexy Balam, an angel again but way more monstrous than previous one.

[Cieyrin]

Acererak has some editing errors, such as the '+str' to his damage and the number of 9th level spells he has available.

Also, Combat Casting? Really? As smart as he is, Acererak should know that's a trap. Fearsome Necromancy (http://www.realmshelps.net/cgi-bin/feats.pl?Fearsome_Necromancy) is more thematic and useful to him.

Also, as confusing as him being Undead and Outsider at the same time, shouldn't his Con be -, then? I suppose the unique symbol you used instead probably amounts to the same but I find '-' is less easily confused.

Otherwise, he's looking like a decent necrowizzie.

Thanks, I shouldbn't have finish it yesterday, I was too tired, but I want to be finished with this damn lich. I corrected the editing error I could find. But i think the number of 9th level spell right. 1 at 17th level +1 from being a specialist wizard and another 1 gain at 18th level, for a total of three prepared 9th level spell.

I was concerned about his spell selection than feat so i just grabed some core feat, but you're right this one is perfect.

I've corrected that.

Thanks, and again thanks you very much for all your help with those detail that, often, go overlook.

Balam is done, pretty much just a meat shield but pretty resistant.

Next Dantallion, should be interesting.

[Cieyrin]

Balam is done, pretty much just a meat shield but pretty resistant.

Balam is certainly the resilient meat shield, alright, though that's kinda it. Also, you forgot to add her Dex increase to AC at 8th level.


Next Dantallion, should be interesting.

Quite looking forward to what Dantallion looks like, as I wonder how he'll compare to those with his PrC. :smallbiggrin:

He will have all their ability (including the errata) otherwise he would have been really lame. Don't know when I will be able to finish him however.

EDIT: I've managed to finish Dantalion way faster than expect. i hope I didn't made any error for once. Next Geryon but it may take some time because I want to participate in the Prc contest.

[Cieyrin]

Dantalion is certainly the scary one, as he could easily wreak havoc against groups affected by Mind-Affecting effects, so I guess he's either awesome or useless, depending on the opponent. Either way, he's well put together, other than the wording of Awe of Dantalion's activation, as it seems like an incomplete thought there.

[zagan]

At the level you gain acces to him Mind-affecting is commonly resist, so it reduce it's power some and it fit him very well. As for awesome or useless well it come to the player planning and it encourage changing Vestige.


Either way, he's well put together, other than the wording of Awe of Dantalion's activation, as it seems like an incomplete thought there.

Same wording as the book.

[Cieyrin]

Same wording as the book.

Maybe it's just the sentence structure that confuses me. Ah well, looking at it again, it makes sense now.

[ocel]

Why are the vestiges ac in the 17 to 25 range? wouldn't that too high?

Other than that great concept.

[zagan]

Why are the vestiges ac in the 17 to 25 range? wouldn't that too high?

Personally I was afraid they would be too low compared to a lot of high level monster, but it end up comparable to the AC of creature that you can summon with the summon monster spell.


Other than that great concept.

Thank you for the support.:smallbiggrin:

[Lateral]

I realize that this isn't helpful at all, but the first thing I thought of when I saw the title of this thread was:

"Vestige Summoner!

...And BMX Bandit! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFuMpYTyRjw)"

No, I haven't even looked at the class. Just the name.

I've seen that video already and you're right it's appropriate. Now I need to make a bmx prc to go with my summoner.:smallwink:

EDIT: And Geryon is done, It wasn't easy but using his stat given in the expend BoVD pdf and those of an ogre mage I manage to coble together something interesting, I'm particulary proud of tripple strike. Next the mysterious Othiax.

[zagan]

And with Otiax with have finished the 5th level vestige. Finally I had lot of fun making this one, he end up pretty original.

Next Chupoclops, I think he will need to be colossal to stay true to the legend but wouldn't that be too much ?

EDIT: And Chupoclops is done. Next Desharis

[Cieyrin]

Geryon, Othiax and Chupoclops are definitely well made, though I think shifting in Deadly Poison or Improved Natural Attack(Bite) over Ghost-Scarred would be better on Chupoclops. While flavorful, Ghost-Scarred doesn't do a whole hell of a lot for her, really.

Also, I don't mean to be rude, as I realize English isn't your first language, but it's particularly evident in these entries with proper spelling and grammar. A little proofreading goes a long way towards improving the final product you present to the community. I'd be happy to help with that, if you'd like, as this is otherwise quite the quality piece of homebrew. :smallsmile:

I like ghost scarred personally, deadly poison come from savage species and while I like the book it may be a little too obscure for the average player plus it got a prereq feat, as for improved natural attack she's already colossal and deal an average of 18.5 damage per bite attack plus poison, seem enough to me.

Deadly Poison got updated in Serpent Kingdoms, which wrote out Virulent Poison, due to it doing the same thing as Ability Focus. The new Deadly Poision uses Ability Focus(Poison), instead, so still only 1 feat change. :smallwink: Either way, if you prefer Ghost-Scarred, hey, it's your homebrew, do what you want with it. :smallbiggrin:

It's not bad, per se, it's just jarring here and there. As for the assistance, I think PMs will work just fine, as that's one of the reasons the forums has 'em is for such as this, editting that doesn't need to be in thread. I just need to clear out some of the old stuff out of my inbox and I should be good to go. I'll PM the changes and copypasta can ensue from there. :smallsmile:

Yes, you could create a wide variety of character with the prc, either by just reffluffing the vestige or by creatubg your own.
Thanks for the support.

I've post Desharis and Haures.
Next Ipos, not sure what do with him.

[zagan]

Ipos is done, not my favorite but result isn't too bad. Next Shax.

[Cieyrin]

Head's up, sent off the proofreads for the 2nd post, split into 2 PMs, due to character limits. :smallyuk:

Anyways, looking at Desharis, he looks alright, though perhaps a little bland. My thoughts are 1) he should be an Augmented Fey and 2) perhaps if he had Mindsight, he could work as a super scout in cities.

Haures looks good, though Dazzling Illusion is probably the weakest of the specialist feats, since Dazzle is like the most useless condition in the game. Heighten Spell or Versatile Spellcaster would be good on getting more use out of some spells, whether making low level spells have decent save DCs or getting more high levels off.

[zagan]

Response to pm and post at the same time:


Getting back into this after finishing up judging for the current IC, disputes notwithstanding.

And an excellent judging it was. :smallsmile:


A few notes:

Charging Knockback, Poison & Persuasive Word: Save DC based on stat should probably be removed, as you give the formula for the DCs earlier in the description.

Done.


Superior Low-Light Vision should be 4 times, not 3

In ToM they they say three times.


Mutli-Bite and Combat Reflexes are to allow to use all 3 heads when he attacks, like a hydra, right? You may want to make that clearer.

Yes, it was based on the hydra, I've clarified.



Persuasive Word's save DC should probably be listed for easy reference. 1st: DC 22, 2nd: DC 23, 4th: DC 24, 6th: DC 25, 8th: DC 26

Done.

1) Didn't think of augmented subtype, been some times seen I remember about this one, I may need to add it to a few other too.

2) While as a player I like Mindsight, as a DM I know it can be a pain , if it cover the whole city it may be a little much, but it's very flavorful for her to be able to detect any creature in a city. i'll think about it.

Heighten Spell or Versatile Spellcaster would be good on getting more use out of some spells, whether making low level spells have decent save DCs or getting more high levels off.

Dazzling illusion was for flavor mostly, Haures is being an illusionist before anything else. But you're right that heigthen would be stronger. i'll think about it too.

Once again thanks for all your help.

[Cieyrin]

In ToM they they say three times.

I see that now, I was going by the definition in the MM, which has it as 4 times. Consistent, WotC is.

3rd post done.

Notes: Init adjustments were forgot when Dex changed. For post 2, they're as follows: Amon at 7th (+4), Lerage at 1st (+5), 4th (+6), 6th (+7), Naberius at 1st (+2) & 6th (+1)

Thanks for that, I'll check the other.

[zagan]

I've add Shax, I would appreciate suggestion on how to improve her, because I really wasn't inspired this time. i've use the Deathshed monster that was based on Shax as a starting point and storm giant ability. But the result is pretty bland any idea ?

In the meantime I'll go work on the Triad.

[Cieyrin]

I love Ipos, he's just amusing.

As for Shax, yeah, I can see how she's pretty bland. Since she was a Storm Giant Goddess, she needs more storms and lightning, I think.

Probably the only solution, I'll add a few Sla and perhaps a few other storm themed thing.

I've also finished The Triad. Lot of work on this one, I've even read the dungeon mag adventure from 2nd ed it's based on. I think the aspect thing make it pretty original.
Next Vanus (after improving shax).
EDIT: Add a fair few SLA to Shax, should increase her utility and power a little. And now she can claim to have been at some point a Storm Giant godesse.

Shax's feats could be fiddled with some as well. I mean, what is she actually using that Extend Supernatural Ability for? Iron Will could be shifted as well, since her saves aren't exactly ailing with Outsider HD.

I do like Storm Elementals but you could expand that to get her some Water Elementals as well and possibly more Summons in general to harass while she dominates a combatant to cause dissension in the ranks. Maybe Quicken Spell-Like for the Summons would be in order as well, to replace Iron Will. Maximizing Call Lightning Storm wouldn't be bad, either, to get more out of those bolts.

Both were default feat because I didn't have any idea of what to do with her feat. Extend was there in case you want to extand storm strike to use your swift action in the second round for something else.
I've replace them with ability focus chain lightning, the dc was pretty low and its an iconic ability. And quicken shocking grasp.


I do like Storm Elementals but you could expand that to get her some Water Elementals as well and possibly more Summons in general to harass while she dominates a combatant to cause dissension in the ranks.

Add a few water elemental option, but I don't want to focus too much on elemental with Shax (or other vestiges) because this will be Zceryll thing.


Maybe Quicken Spell-Like for the Summons would be in order as well, to replace Iron Will. Maximizing Call Lightning Storm wouldn't be bad, either, to get more out of those bolts.

You can't apply quicken to spell with a duration greater than 1 full round, even if as spell-like you can use them as standard action.
Both Maximize and Empower have the same prereq and nearly the same effect, but empower is core so I choose this one.

Fair enough. I just remembered I forgot to say Air Elementals, as you want an excuse to power up your Call Lightnings. I don't mean to go any further than that.

Well, okay, quickened summoning is probably a bit much but think about Maximized Call Lightning Storm, though. 50 points of electricity a bolt (provided it's stormy but, thanks to your other spell-likes, that shouldn't be an issue, am I right? :smallwink:)

I somehow completely forgot about the combo call lighting and air elemental.:smallredface: It's been add.

I'll think about it.

[zagan]

Vanus is done, I'm pretty happy with him even if at high level a lot of creature will be immune to his ability but against mook he could be devastating.

Next the wonderful, the magnicient Zagan. This one will be epic ! :smallwink:

[MammonAzrael]

I just have to say - Wow. This is a terrific class. I was working on my binder template, saw this, and have been blown away. Amazing job.

That said, I do have two comments.


It might be flavorful to have a vestige dismissed before it's summoned time expires be resentful and offer some small penalty. The vestiges certainly don't want to be cheated out of "real" time!
It looks like you don't have the vestiges from Dungeon/Dragon Magazines, is this for a reason other than not having/knowing about them?

[zagan]

I've seen the template and it look very flavorful, if perhaps a little strong for my taste.

1: Might be a good idea that, I'll think about it.
2: I have the dragon mag one's but not the one in dungeon (though I think I got it's stat somewhere but probably without the fluff) and I might add them at the end but creating the 39 "official" vestige is already a lot of work. So I'm not sure, we'll see how it goes.

Thank you for your support.

Perhaps they only offer a penalty if you've made a bad pact with them in the first place. That way you can dismiss them without penalty, but the vestiges still have the opportunity to express their displeasure if the circumstances arise.

It is in Dungeon 148 and frankly the least relevant vestige I know of. You have to draw it's seal in a specific location on the 73rd layer of the Abyss! And fair enough, you certainly do! And it avoid the conflicting double-Astraroth goofiness.

[Cieyrin]

And it avoid the conflicting double-Astraroth goofiness.

More like the triple Astaroth goofiness, as I think there's 3 different ones. Either that or I'm thinking of the live one, too.

Yeah sort of, there's 2 vestige, a fallen angel from the web article, and a former demon from dragon 357. The problem is that the same demon is list as alive in FC1.

Anyway, I've finished Zagan, let me know what you think. Next Zceryll the last 6th level vestige.

It is even more fun than that. One Astaroth vestige is an "unjustly" fallen angel, one Astaroth vestige is a Demon that played accountant in Baator until being uncovered, and the current Astaroth is the Devil that uncovered the demon and took his name!

[Cieyrin]

The Triad looks good, if confusing.

Vanus is pretty awesome as a fear controller, though I don't think you accounted for Heightening Cause Fear in your save DCs.

Zagan seems spot on as a snake summoner/brute. Is he your username-sake, now that I think about it?

Also, I'll get back into more proofreading soon.

[zagan]

Do i need to clarify anything in particular.

Well you can only heighen it 3/day so it doesn't affect the at will version, if you choose to apply the feat then it increase. Should I put cause fear in the 3/day category with the augmented DC ?


Zagan seems spot on as a snake summoner/brute. Is he your username-sake, now that I think about it?

It's a coincidence my username is based on one of the summon from Golden Sun 2. I later learn that the name come from a demon from babylonion mythology or something like that and Wotc use it for the Vestige.

No hurry but thanks.

[Cieyrin]

It's more the keeping track of which form your in that gives me pause. I don't think there's really a good way of doing it unless you separate the stats some more.

Moving it down to 3/day would probably help, though, on the other hand, the HD limit makes it of limited use, so perhaps Heightening something else would be better, something that'll affect creatures with more than 5 HD, which you'll be dealing with most of the time as a Binder 12/Vestige Summoner 6.

Oh yeah; it's been a while since I played that. Good game series, though I haven't gotten around to playing Dark Dawn yet, mostly b/c i don't have a DS or the money to afford one.

I forgot about Cause fear hd limit, I admit I just chose because of the name without rereading the description, it was fitting. I'll change it to bane that way it become harder to resist other fear effect.

If you get the chance you should it's a great game.

[zagan]

And the last 6th level Vestige is done (finnaly, why there's so many 6th level one anyway ?). I would appreciate it if someone could check the wording of Summon alien because I had to change it completely otherwise her feat wouldn't have applied to it.

EDIT: Eligor is done, I'm already halfway through the 7th level vestige ! :smalltongue:

It seems alright, though what confuses me about Summon Alien is how the Summon Monsters seem to fill in Spells Known as well, when the ability seems to grant Summon Monster as a bonus spell known. At the very least, I'd open up the slots that you would grant at those levels when you only seem to have SMs to be able to actually cast spells of that level, which leads me into suggesting replacing Greater Spell Focus(Conjuration) for Heighten Spell, for a better overall save DC buff when you need it.


EDIT: Eligor is done, I'm already halfway through the 7th level vestige ! :smalltongue:

He seems pretty well put together, mounted combat and all, though Chromatic Strike seems not to be all that useful really for him.

[zagan]

They do count for spell know, it mean nine less spell to chose for me and with the headache of chosing spell normaly I coulnd't pass up this opportunity. I'll try to change the wording to reflect it better.

Excellent point.

Yeah, I didn't really know what to do with it for a 7th level vestige ability it's not great.

Marchosias is nearly done, tomorow at the latest I think.

Edit: Marchosias done, 7th level vestiges are done (that was fast), now for the 8th level one. (I don't have to do a progression anymore ! :smallbiggrin:)

[zagan]

I'm on roll, Abysm is done, I really like him. Next Asharladon the fiendish dragon.

Edit: Asharladon is done.

[Cieyrin]

Marchosias, Abysm and Ashardalon seem alright, I especially love Abysm, it's just damn neat. :smallbiggrin:

[zagan]

Abysm is one of my favorite too.

Halphax is done, I like him but I fear he may be a little weak for his level. Also suggestion for better/more thematic feat than weapon focus ? (or even improve init ?)

[Cieyrin]

I'm not sure what you're trying to go far with Halphax, as he seems to just be a battlefield controller that does some crappy melee. What I'd do is draw more on his earth elemental nature and base his beginning stats off of a Greater or Elder Earth Elemental, though keeping his size, so he can earth glide and have earth mastery by default with out sinking 3 feats into it.

For the 5 feats that are freed up, I'd go for pumping up his spell-likes with some quickens and empowers and draw some more earth spells into the mix, like Giant's Wrath, Hail of Stone and Earth Reaver to get a real earth feel to him.

While that's the obvious route, I would prefer not going that way because one we already have a Agares to be an earth elemental and second I want to represent the fact that in life Halphax was just a gnome, probably a high level expert, not a warrior. Still I'll look up those spell and perhaps also other creature with the earth subtype perhaps I'll be inspired.

Edit: I've add a fair number of spell like ability, quicken hail of stone replace weapon focus and add the stone immunity ability. If need I'll revisit him later but now I'm going to concentrate on Orthos

[zagan]

And with the posting of Orthos this project is now considered complete !! :smallbiggrin:

That said I will go back and improve a number of vestige particularly the first few, on the subject i'll like to know what vestige you would never consider summoning simply because they are too weak even if you have them bound for their ability ?
On the other side what are the vestige so good that you'll bind them just to summon them even if you'll never use their ability ?

I've also add a document to adapat the vestige for those with limit source (Srd and ToM)

Edit: Add image for a few vestige that have illustration in ToM

[unosarta]

Wow... just going back over this class and the vestiges again...

This is amazing. I really, really badly want to play a Vestige summoner, now.

[Cieyrin]

Orthos is rightly an 8th level vestige and a real terror. A couple things pop out at me, though, like you say Wind Slash does 3d6 in the description but the stats say 2d6. Another is that I think his Whirlwind Breath should probably deal bludgeoning damage, though I don't recall what the ToM says about it, so perhaps I should bow before that.

Now that progress is close to finished, I should maybe get back into proofreading, though I want to get more work done on my Gunslinger Mini-Handbook, as that desires my immediate attention right now.

It's untyped in ToM.

Take your time.

I certainly wouldn't want that. I like where she is going as a character.

But really. Actually, a gestalt Binder/Vestige Summoner//Focus Specialist (Conjuration) Wizard/Malconvoker would be just about the ultimate in summoning awesome.

Summoning Zceryll, you control a real army of monster ! With Vestige Horde you can have Zceryll and her alien, Orthos and is elemental Swarm, Agares and his Elemental companion and, hum, Geryon and his Minotaurs. Plus your own numerous fiendish creature ! :smalltongue:

Edit: i've added their Title to the Vestiges.
Edit2: Added a penalty if the Vestige is dismissed before the normel end of the summoning as was suggested by MammonAzrael.
Edit3: Add a few spell-like ability to Amon and a Flaming Bite
Edit4: Add Branding Iron and All around vision to Ayme and tidy up her skill to include racial bonus.
Edit5: Add more type of arrow for Leraje to play with
Edit6: Add a few spell-like ability to Naberius
Edit7: Add Telekinesis as a 3/day spell-like ability to Ronove.
Edit8: Improved Savnok ability score to reflect better its former angelic statue, add a goad/knight challenge like ability and correct a few error in the skill.

[Hazzardevil]

I reckon that you should be able to summon the baldelords from teh bladelord project as epic vestige summons.

[zagan]

I admit I don't know that project, plus currently I have very little time, I haven't even begin working on the dragon mag vestige. That said if you want to stat those bladelord as vestige you can post it in the thread.

Edit: I've changed arete a little to remove the proficiency error.

[Hazzardevil]

I just mentioned those since as they are they wouldn't be too hard to just summon them as teh monsters.

[zagan]

I have finally manage to stat up Kas, tell me what you think.

Edit: Primus is now done, I really like him.
Edit: Ansitif is also done, despite the common fire subtype he end up pretty original I think.
Edit: Astaroth (demon version) is done, only one left, but first I want to do the prc contest.

[zagan]

And with Cabiri now done, this project is completely finish. It was a lot of work but I'm proud of it !

Thanks to all those that support me.

[LansXero]

This was an amazing PrC, thanks for the effort of coming up with it! :D
