Class Skills (6 + Int modifier): Bluff, Concentration, Craft, Decipher Script, Diplomacy, Forgery, Gather Information, Hide, Knowledge (Any), Listen, Perform, Profession, Sense Motive, Speak Language, Spellcraft, Spot, and Use Magic Device.

Weapon & Armor Proficiencies
An Azorius Logistician is proficient with all simple weapons; all light and medium armors; and with shields (but not Tower Shields).

Æthercrafting
An Azorius Logistician is skilled in the art of Æthercrafting, creating idyllic constructs of law, called Statutes, out of raw magic shaped with the force of will. Æthercrafting works in all ways like Meldshaping (see Magic of Incarnum) except that the saving throw DC for a Statute is 10 + 1/2 class level + Charisma modifier and the maximum number of Statutes the Azorius Logistician may have constructed is equal to his Wisdom modifier - 10. Replace all instances of Soulmelds with Statutes, all instances of Essentia with Æther, and all instances of Chakra Binds with Æther Binds.

Arbitration (Ex): An Azorius Logistician is trained to use the Perform (Oratory) skill to impose order on creatures around him. For a total number of rounds each day equal to double the sum of his class level + his Wisdom modifier, he may use this ability to Command or Enthrall creatures. An Azorius Logistician may have any number of Arbitrations active at one time, but each requires a separate activation and each one consumes 1 round from his total rounds per day for every round it remains active. He may dismiss an Arbitration at any time as a free action, even if it isn't his turn.

Activating Arbitration is a standard action which provokes attacks of opportunity when starting the ability, but it may be maintained as a free action each round. An Arbitration requires the Azorius Logistician to be able to complete verbal and somatic gestures, and though it cannot be disrupted like spells can, it will automatically end anytime the Azorius Logistician is made incapable of completing verbal or somatic gestures or otherwise prevented from taking a free action to maintain it each round.

To be affected by an Azorius Logistician's Arbitration, his targets must be able to both see and hear him. The ability is language-dependent. Likewise, a deaf or blind Azorius Logistician has a chance to fail when attempting Arbitrations, equal to 20% failure chance for suffering one of those conditions and 50% failure chance for suffering both. This failure chance applies when he is starting Arbitrations and each round he tries to maintain the effect.


Command - A 1st level Azorius Logistician is able to use his Oratory in attempts to enforce the law on a single creature within 30ft. If he succeeds on a Perform (Oratory) check against DC 10 + creature's total HD, then that creature is affected as by the Command spell (Will negates, DC 10 + 1/2 Azorius Logistician level + Charisma modifier). For every 5 points you beat the Perform check DC by the save DC to resist your command increases by 2. A creature that successfully save, or for which this effect is ended is immune to the effect until you gain a level. This effect automatically ends after 1 round. This is a (compulsion), mind-affecting ability.



Enthrall - A 1st level Azorius Logistician is able to capture the attention of one or more creatures. When he begins Arbitration, he makes a Perform (Oratory) check against DC 15. If he succeeds he draws the attention of a single creature within 90ft. For each 5 points he beats the check DC he may choose to draw the attention of another creature within 90ft, or to increase the save DC of this effect by 1. Creatures targeted must succeed on a Will save (10 + 1/2 Azorius Logistician level + Charisma modifier) or become Fascinated as long as the Azorius Logistician maintains Arbitration. Any creature that successfully saved, or for which this effect is ended, is immune to the effect until you gain a level. This is a (compulsion), mind-affecting ability.


Delay Violence (Ex): For the first round of combat, an Azorius Logistician cannot be attacked as if protected by a Sanctuary spell. Delay Violence does not apply during the Surprise Round unless the Azorius Logistician is able to act. The protection afforded by this ability lasts for an additional round for every five levels after 1st.

Lore (Ex): As Bardic Knowledge.

Æther Binds
Beginning at 2nd level, an Azorius Logistician learns to bind his Statutes to Ætheric convergences within their bodies granting him new powers depending on the Statute and the Bind chosen. Æther Binds function just like a meldshaper's Chakra Binds.

Demand Compliance (Ex): Starting at 3rd level, even if a creature succeeds on its saving throw against an Azorius Logistician's Arbitrations, or even after the Arbitration's effect would typically be ended, he may continue to maintain the effect regardless. If he does, while he maintains Arbitration, the creature, though still immune to the normal effect, suffers a -1 penalty to attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws against charm and compulsion effects. This penalty increases by 1 at every fourth level after 3rd.

Forecast (Sp): Beginning at 5th level, an Azorius Logistician may spend a swift action to emulate an Augury effect as the spell. He may use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + his Wisdom modifier.

Suggestion (Ex): Beginning at 6th level, while maintaining an Enthrall Arbitration, an Azorius Logistician may spend a standard action and one round of his total rounds of Arbitration per day to affect a creature Fascinated by the Arbitration as by a Suggestion spell. The creature is entitled to a Will save to resist the effect at the same DC as the Azorius Logistician's initial Enthrall effect.

At 18th level, he may spend two rounds of his total rounds of Arbitration per day to affect all creature's Fascinated by the Arbitration as by a Suggestion spell.

Æther Shift (Su): At 10th level, an Azorius Logistician can spend a standard action to remove one of his Statutes and attach it to an ally within 30ft. The Azorius Logistician may still allocate and reallocate Æther to or from a Statute shifted in this way, but only the new bearer of the Statute benefits from its effects and may use its abilities. The Azorius Logistician may return all shifted Statutes to himself with a single standard action.

Greater Command (Ex): Starting at 12th level, when an Azorius Logistician uses his Arbitration to Command, rather than increasing the save DC, he may target another creature within 30ft for every 5 points he beats the Perform check DC. Further, he may maintain the effect as long as he has rounds of Arbitration to use for the day, but affected creatures are entitled to a new Will save to resist the effect each round.

Greater Forecast (Sp): Beginning at 13th level, an Azorius Logistician may spend a full-round action and a daily use of his Forecast ability to emulate a Commune effect as the spell.

Grand Arbiter (Ex): At 20th level, once per day as a free action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity, an Azorius Logistician may flood his Statutes with pure Law, temporarily increasing the amount of Æther invested into those Statutes to maximum, regardless of how many points of Æther he would typically have, for a number of rounds equal to 3 + Wisdom modifier.
