Requirements
To qualify to become a dungeon master, a character must fulfill all the following criteria.
Skills
Knowledge (Dungeoneering) 8 ranks
Alignment
Must be Neutral on one or both axes.
Other
This class may only be take by NPC's
Class Skills
The dungeon master’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Appraise (Int), Disguise (Cha), Search (Int), Spot (Wis), Sense Motive (Wis), Listen (Wis), Knowledge (all skills, taken individually) (Int), Speak Language (N/A).
Skill Points at Each Level
5 + Int modifier.
Class Features
All of the following are Class Features of the dungeon master prestige class.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency
Dungeon Masters are proficient with all simple weapons. They are not proficient with any type of armor or shield.
Spells
A Dungeon Master casts arcane spells which are drawn exclusively from the Dungeon Masters spell list. He can cast any spell on this list without preparing it ahead of time, the way a wizard or a cleric must (see below).
To learn or cast a spell, a dungeon master must have a Wisdom score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a dungeon master’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the dungeon master’s Wisdom modifier.
Like other spellcasters, a Dungeon Master can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. His base daily spell allotment is given on Table: The Dungeon Master. In addition, he receives bonus spells per day if he has a high Wisdom score.
Each dungeon master must choose a time at which he must spend 1 hour each day in quiet contemplation or supplication to regain his daily allotment of spells. Time spent resting has no effect on whether a dungeon master can prepare spells.
Unlike a wizard or a cleric, a dungeon master need not prepare his spells in advance. He can cast any spell on the dungeon master spell list at any time, assuming he has not yet used up his spells per day for that spell level. He does not have to decide ahead of time which spells he’ll cast.
Dungeon (Su)
A Dungeon Master has control over a small plane, known as his Dungeon. This plane is 250 feet by 250 feet at level 1, and grows larger as more levels are taken. Within this plane, any spells cast by the dungeon master do not use up spell slots (He must have spell slots of that level, but they don’t need to be open). Any attempts to do damage to a dungeon master within his Dungeon will always miss. While within their Dungeon, the dungeon master can see any part of the dungeon from any part of the dungeon.
Gate (Su)
A Dungeon Master can, once per day, open a path into his Dungeon known as his Gate. This takes 1 minute, during which time the dungeon master must hold his hand on the wall he is opening the entrance in. Once this time is up, the wall morphs to create a passage leading to a room within the dungeon master’s dungeon. This Gate, once created, remains for one year/level of dungeon master or until closed by the dungeon master. A dungeon master may only have 1 Gate at a time. While a Gate is open, the Dungeon is treated as being on the Material Plane for all purposes (This has no effect on the dungeon master's ability's within).
Champion (Su)
Upon taking the first level of Dungeon Master, the dungeon master gains the services and companionship of a Champion. The Champion has the same alignment as the dungeon master, and stats set by the Dungeon Masters level [Given in Table: Champion Stats] (The Dungeon Master may emulate a lower level for this purpose, and change this choice at any time). The Champion cannot leave the Dungeon, but is capable of going anywhere within. If the Champion is killed in any fashion, it resurrects itself in 1 hour at the location of its death. The body need not be intact for this power to work. The Champion can change form at will, but must be a Medium sized creature. When changing form, the Champion can choose an alignment for their disguise. Any attempts to detect their alignment while disguised will reveal this chosen alignment. The Champion knows any languages known by the dungeon master.
{There will be a table here once I come up with all the stats. For now here is the stats for a level 1-2 dungeon master:
CR:1
Size:Medium
Initiative:+2
HP:15
Speed:30 ft.
AC:13
Attack:+2 Melee (1d6+1), +1 Ranged (1d4, range 30 ft)
Saves:Fort +2, Ref +2, Will +2
Alignment:Same as Dungeon Master}
Quick Passage (Su)
A Dungeon Master of at least 2nd level can, once per day (increasing as levels are gained), teleport himself, and a number of willing creatures equal to or less than his dungeon master level, to the location of his Gate as a spell-like ability. All creatures being transported must be within 5 feet of the dungeon master. Using this power takes one minute, plus one minute for every creature being transported (including the dungeon master). If the dungeon master has no Gate open, this power cannot be used.
Sight (Ex)
A Dungeon Master of at least 2nd level can, at any time, scry the location of their gate. To do this the dungeon master needs a reflective surface of any kind. Anyone can see the image in the reflective surface being used.
Skim Knowledge (Su)
A Dungeon Master of at least 2nd level gains XP as if they were part of any adventuring party within their Dungeon. To gain this benefit, they must be watching the party via any means. This has no impact on the XP gained by that party.
Spread Rumor (Ex)
A Dungeon Master of at least 3th level can spread a rumor to the nearest town about the location of his Gate. Doing this takes 1 hour, during which time the dungeon master must be moving around the town in which he is spreading the rumor. This rumor will include the location of the Gate, and the relative difficulty of the dungeon. This rumor will be found by anyone attempting a Gather Information check. The rumor will last for at least one week, after which it will become a normal rumor, spreading and fading as normal.
Hand of Death (Sp)
A Dungeon Master of at least 4th level can, once per day per 2 dungeon master levels, instantly kill a creature as with the spell Finger of Death. The creature must be within the dungeon master’s Dungeon.
Rebirth (Ex)
A Dungeon Master of at least 6th will, if reduced to 0 or fewer health points, instantly teleport to a pre-designated room in his Dungeon and be restored to 1 health point. He will have to rest for one week for every health point this ability restored to him, during which time he cannot leave his dungeon. This power does not trigger if the dungeon master is reduced from positive HP to -10 HP in one hit, which results in death as usual.
Gift of Life (Sp)
A Dungeon Master of at least 7th level can, once per day per 2 dungeon master levels, resurrect a creature as the spell Resurrection. The remains must be within the dungeon master’s Dungeon. No material component is needed, but the casting time is 15 minutes.
Stop (Ex)
A Dungeon Master of at least 9th level can, once per day, halt time within his dungeon. While this is in effect, only the dungeon master can move or act. This effect lasts for 5 minutes (50 rounds) of the dungeon masters time or until he dismisses it.
(I am still working on the spell list. The first level spells are done. I will be putting them in the next post.)
