Class Features: The following are class features for the amplifier.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: The amplifier gains no additional proficiencies.
Spellcasting: At each level except 5th, the amplifier gains additional spells per day, spells known (unless the amplifier uses a spellbook) and an increased caster level as if she had gained a level in an arcane spellcasting class she already had levels in. She does not gain any other benefits of that class (such as improving familiars or bonus feats).
Superior Thunderclap (Ex): An amplifier is unnaturally skilled with the mighty great thunderclap spell. She adds her class level as a bonus to the DC of any great thunderclap spell she casts. This stacks with all other increases to DC.
Sonic Caster (Ex): At 2nd level, an amplifier receives a +1 bonus to her caster level for all spells she casts with the [sonic] descriptor. She also may choose any spell with the [sonic] descriptor from her spell list, up to the highest level she is able to cast, and learn that spell or scribe it for free into her spellbook. At 4th level, an amplifier's bonus to her caster level when casting spells of the [sonic] descriptor increases to +2 and she learns another [sonic] spell from her spell list.
Screeching Thunderclap (Su): Beginning at 2nd level, an amplifier is able to unload a mighty blast of sound that is so loud it can shatter magical silence. Unlike most spellcasters, an amplifier is actually able to use the Heighten Spell feat to empower her signature spell and make it so loud it gains new effects, in addition to a higher DC. When the amplifier casts great thunderclap from a 4th level spell slot or higher, she may attempt to do so even in a field of silence. The amplifier receives a free dispel check (using her caster level of the great thunderclap spell) against the silence, and if she succeeds, the silence is dispelled. If she fails, her spell is wasted and the spell slot consumed.
Reverberations (Su): Starting at 3rd level, the ground itself is shaken up by an amplifier's great thunderclap. Whenever the amplifier casts great thunderclap from a 5th level spell slot or higher, all solid ground in the area of the spell is treated as difficult terrain for the next hour.
Echoing Thunderclap (Su): Starting at 4th level, when an amplifier lets out her signature spell, it echoes again and one round later it can really shock its victims. When the amplifier casts great thunderclap from at least a 5th level spell slot, it is treated as if it was modified by the Repeat Spell feat, without an increase in spell slot or casting time. The amplifier need not have the Repeat Spell feat. Creatures who are deafened by the first casting of great thunderclap are immune to the echo.
Amplify Thunderclap (Su): At 5th level, the amplifier finally perfects her signature spell, and can unleash hell upon all her foes. When she casts great thunderclap from at least a 6th level spell slot, the spell changes in the following way:
All creatures in the area must make a Fortitude save or take 1d6 points of sonic damage/level (max 20d6) and be permanently deafened. A successful save negates the deafness and halves the sonic damage.
All creatures in the area must make a Reflex save or fall prone and be slowed for 5 rounds. A successful save simply knocks the creature prone.
All creatures in the area must make a Will save or be rendered helpless for one round, and then stunned for one round after that. A successful save reduces this effect to simply being stunned for 1 round.
