”My dolls? Child, they are not dolls. Though their skin may seem fake, it is as fair as yours. Though their eyes seem beady, they are only as black as your own. Though they may seem soulless, they are as empathetic as you. What you see in them is just a reflection of yourself. So, you must ask yourself; what are you?”
~Heim Jakobsen, Royal Tailor, Entertainer, to a young boy in the market
Adventures: Effigy Masters adventure for very personal reasons. Maybe they seek revenge, or power, or knowledge. Similarly to arcane casters, they are out to represent their own interests.
Characteristics: Unlike many Clothweavers, Effigy Masters are very greedy, in a sense. They are rarely comfortable with sharing what they have, and this extends to their abilities. Shrouds are for personal use, or for the use of their Effigies, and the Effigy Master doesn’t normally attempt to use their abilities in order to help allies specifically.
Alignment: Effigy Masters can be of any alignment, although they tend towards neutrality overall
.
Religion: Effigy Masters rarely partake in any specific religion, often dabbling in many and not taking the time or effort to dedicate themselves to any one specific religion. Religions are often too taxing or stifling for many Effigy Masters, who tend to like the freedoms they gain from their power.
Background: Effigy Masters can come from any background, as long as that background included cloth in some way. Although Effigy Masters tend to be the most cunning of all of the Clothweavers, the Effigy Master’s powers themselves are rather elementary and simple. They are known to occur in monstrous races as well as humanoid races.
Races: Any races can become an Effigy Master, but those who are more suited for intelligence or cunning are more effective at it.
Other Classes: Effigy Masters rarely deal well with others. They tend to look down on combat classes, who get their hands dirty, and they similarly do not take very well with casters, who they view as a threat to their position of power.
Role: The Effigy Master can function in quite a few different roles. With their Shrouds, they are a fairly effective buffer, and with their Effigies they function as a melee summoner. However, their main advantage is out of combat scouting and skill-monkeying. The Effigy Master has a huge skill list, and as an Intelligence based class, quite a few skill points. Their Effigies can help in this endeavor quite effectively as well.
Abilities: Intelligence is the Effigy Master’s most important ability, by far. It determines how effective many of their abilities are, as well as how many skill points they have. Dexterity and Constitution are also important abilities, in order for the Effigy Master to survive combats.

Weapon Proficiencies: The Effigy Master gains proficiency with all simple weapons. They also gain proficiency with all light armor and light shields.
Clothweaving: The Effigy Master is able to control the seams and very weave of cloth, control it as if it were an appendage of his own. This comes in the function of Weaves and Shrouds, detailed below, however, in addition, the Effigy Master gains some minor benefits. They adds one fourth of his Effigy Master levels (minimum 1) to any skill check that involves or applies to a rope, cloth, or twisted, braided or woven strands that form an object (for instance, Use Rope is a common benefit, although Craft (Dressmaking) would also involve this ability). In addition, the Effigy Master may control any cloth within 10 feet of his as a standard action, as the Animate Rope spell, although not only applying to rope-like objects (only those that are made of twisted, braided, or woven strands). They may not use this ability to move the objects more than 10 feet away from themself.
Shrouds (Su): The Effigy Master may create shrouds, which are supernatural effects which layer an area in magical cloth, healing or benefiting allies, while harming or stopping enemies. A shroud lasts for a number of rounds equal to the Effigy Master’s Wisdom modifier, and are created as a swift action. The Effigy Master may only have up to three Shrouds in existence at a time. Shrouds may never overlap. The Effigy Master can prepare 4 Shrouds at first level, and is able to prepare an additional shroud every three levels thereafter. Shrouds are prepared after 8 hours of rest, and can be used at will after being prepared. The Effigy Master counts as his own ally for the purposes of his Shrouds.
Effigies (Su): The Effigy Master may create effigies, which are basically cloth that has been animated into a form. Effigies can be people shaped, carpet shaped, couch shaped, or what have you. Effigies gain additional benefits besides their base form. They may only have one benefit placed upon them, and the Effigy Master chooses which benefit to give them upon shaping the Effigy. They gain one benefit at fifth level, and an additional benefit every five levels thereafter (10th, 15th, 20th, etc). The benefits are taken from the list below, in the Effigy section. The Effigy Master may shape an Effigy once per day at second level, and an additional time per day every four levels thereafter (6th, 10th, 14th, 18th). The Effigy lasts for 1 hour, or until dismissed. Dismissing an Effigy is a standard action. The Effigy Master has mental control and communication with the Effigy, seeing anything that the Effigy sees, and hearing anything they hear. Summoning an Effigy takes 2 at least two feet by two feet pieces of cloth per size category (2 pieces for fine, 4 for diminutive, 6 for tiny, 8 for small, etc etc).
Personal Effigy (Su): The Effigy Master has their own personal effigy which is constant, and is more powerful than the other Effigies the Effigy Master can use. The Personal Effigy counts as being the same target as the Effigy Master for any spell or ability that would give the Effigy Master a beneficial effect, as long as they are within 30 feet of each other. The Personal Effigy counts as being an effigy of the Effigy Master’s Effigy Master level plus three. This increases their ability scores, hit dice, and size category accordingly. The Effigy Master can change the Personal Effigy’s size category as a standard action, minimum size category being fine, and maximum being dependent on the Personal Effigy’s hit dice, as is normal for Effigies. In addition, the Personal Effigy counts as having the maximum possible base attack bonus for its hit dice. The Effigy Master can the Effigy Benefit their Personal Effigy is undergoing as a minute long ritual.
Summon Weave (Su): Starting at second level, the Effigy Master may summon cloth shaped from magical energy, which is used to empower their creations. Starting at second level, the Effigy Master may summon 5 pieces of cloth per Effigy Master level, at most 5 feet by 5 feet, as a full round action. They appear in the Effigy Master’s hands. They may not create or have in existence more than a number of pieces of cloth equal to their Effigy Master level times 10. The cloth is essentially weightless, and, due to its magical nature, takes up literally no room in the Effigy Master's bags or pockets, when they fold them up. Folding them in that way is a full round action for every 5 pieces of cloth they would be folding up.
Skill of Cloth (Ex): Starting at third level, the Effigy Master gains a Competency bonus equal to their Intelligence modifier to any one skill. They must choose one skill. They may change this choice as a swift action. While they have the Competency bonus to that skill, they may attempt to make those skill checks untrained.
Effigy Abilities: Starting at fourth level, and every three levels thereafter, the Effigy Master gains one Effigy Ability that they may apply to their Personal Effigy, taken from the list below. The Effigy Abilities have prerequisites based solely on level. After the Effigy Master has chosen an Effigy Ability, they may not change that choice.
Hidebound: Starting at fourth level, the Personal Effigy gains a Natural Armor bonus equal to the Effigy Master’s Intelligence modifier.

They may cast it once per encounter. The Personal Effigy can change the spell chosen in this way as an hour long ritual, after 8 hours of rest. This ability may not be taken more than once.
Psychic Mind: Starting at seventh level, the Personal Effigy gains a number of power points equal to the Effigy Master’s Intelligence modifier plus the Personal Effigy’s hit dice. They must choose one power of the Psychoportation, Psychometabolism, or Telepathy disciplines that is equal to or lower than one fifth of the Effigy Master’s Effigy Master levels. They may use their power points to cast only that power. They may gain a psionic focus, thanks to those power points. They may choose to change which power chosen this way as an hour long ritual, after 8 hours of rest. This ability may not be taken more than once.

This bonus cannot exceed the Effigy Master’s Intelligence modifier.

They may shapeshift into any Animal of their hit dice or less. They gain the physical abilities scores of the new Animal, as well as the size category and modes of movement, but their hit points remain the same (as they are using the same cloth as their normal form).

”My dolls? Child, they are not dolls. Though their skin may seem fake, it is as fair as yours. Though their eyes seem beady, they are only as black as your own. Though they may seem soulless, they are as empathetic as you. What you see in them is just a reflection of yourself. So, you must ask yourself; what are you?”
~Heim Jakobsen, Royal Tailor, Entertainer, to a young boy in the market
Adventures: Effigy Masters adventure for very personal reasons. Maybe they seek revenge, or power, or knowledge. Similarly to arcane casters, they are out to represent their own interests.
Characteristics: Unlike many Clothweavers, Effigy Masters are very greedy, in a sense. They are rarely comfortable with sharing what they have, and this extends to their abilities. Shrouds are for personal use, or for the use of their Effigies, and the Effigy Master doesn’t normally attempt to use their abilities in order to help allies specifically.
Alignment: Effigy Masters can be of any alignment, although they tend towards neutrality overall
.
Religion: Effigy Masters rarely partake in any specific religion, often dabbling in many and not taking the time or effort to dedicate themselves to any one specific religion. Religions are often too taxing or stifling for many Effigy Masters, who tend to like the freedoms they gain from their power.
Background: Effigy Masters can come from any background, as long as that background included cloth in some way. Although Effigy Masters tend to be the most cunning of all of the Clothweavers, the Effigy Master’s powers themselves are rather elementary and simple. They are known to occur in monstrous races as well as humanoid races.
Races: Any races can become an Effigy Master, but those who are more suited for intelligence or cunning are more effective at it.
Other Classes: Effigy Masters rarely deal well with others. They tend to look down on combat classes, who get their hands dirty, and they similarly do not take very well with casters, who they view as a threat to their position of power.
Role: The Effigy Master can function in quite a few different roles. With their Shrouds, they are a fairly effective buffer, and with their Effigies they function as a melee summoner. However, their main advantage is out of combat scouting and skill-monkeying. The Effigy Master has a huge skill list, and as an Intelligence based class, quite a few skill points. Their Effigies can help in this endeavor quite effectively as well.
Abilities: Intelligence is the Effigy Master’s most important ability, by far. It determines how effective many of their abilities are, as well as how many skill points they have. Dexterity and Constitution are also important abilities, in order for the Effigy Master to survive combats.

Weapon Proficiencies: The Effigy Master gains proficiency with all simple weapons. They also gain proficiency with all light armor and light shields.
Clothweaving: The Effigy Master is able to control the seams and very weave of cloth, control it as if it were an appendage of his own. This comes in the function of Weaves and Shrouds, detailed below, however, in addition, the Effigy Master gains some minor benefits. They adds one fourth of his Effigy Master levels (minimum 1) to any skill check that involves or applies to a rope, cloth, or twisted, braided or woven strands that form an object (for instance, Use Rope is a common benefit, although Craft (Dressmaking) would also involve this ability). In addition, the Effigy Master may control any cloth within 10 feet of his as a standard action, as the Animate Rope spell, although not only applying to rope-like objects (only those that are made of twisted, braided, or woven strands). They may not use this ability to move the objects more than 10 feet away from themself.
Shrouds (Su): The Effigy Master may create shrouds, which are supernatural effects which layer an area in magical cloth, healing or benefiting allies, while harming or stopping enemies. A shroud lasts for a number of rounds equal to the Effigy Master’s Wisdom modifier, and are created as a swift action. The Effigy Master may only have up to three Shrouds in existence at a time. Shrouds may never overlap. The Effigy Master can prepare 4 Shrouds at first level, and is able to prepare an additional shroud every three levels thereafter. Shrouds are prepared after 8 hours of rest, and can be used at will after being prepared. The Effigy Master counts as his own ally for the purposes of his Shrouds.
Effigies (Su): The Effigy Master may create effigies, which are basically cloth that has been animated into a form. Effigies can be people shaped, carpet shaped, couch shaped, or what have you. Effigies gain additional benefits besides their base form. They may only have one benefit placed upon them, and the Effigy Master chooses which benefit to give them upon shaping the Effigy. They gain one benefit at fifth level, and an additional benefit every five levels thereafter (10th, 15th, 20th, etc). The benefits are taken from the list below, in the Effigy section. The Effigy Master may shape an Effigy once per day at second level, and an additional time per day every four levels thereafter (6th, 10th, 14th, 18th). The Effigy lasts for 1 hour, or until dismissed. Dismissing an Effigy is a standard action. The Effigy Master has mental control and communication with the Effigy, seeing anything that the Effigy sees, and hearing anything they hear. Summoning an Effigy takes 2 at least two feet by two feet pieces of cloth per size category (2 pieces for fine, 4 for diminutive, 6 for tiny, 8 for small, etc etc).
Personal Effigy (Su): The Effigy Master has their own personal effigy which is constant, and is more powerful than the other Effigies the Effigy Master can use. The Personal Effigy counts as being the same target as the Effigy Master for any spell or ability that would give the Effigy Master a beneficial effect, as long as they are within 30 feet of each other. The Personal Effigy counts as being an effigy of the Effigy Master’s Effigy Master level plus three. This increases their ability scores, hit dice, and size category accordingly. The Effigy Master can change the Personal Effigy’s size category as a standard action, minimum size category being fine, and maximum being dependent on the Personal Effigy’s hit dice, as is normal for Effigies. In addition, the Personal Effigy counts as having the maximum possible base attack bonus for its hit dice. The Effigy Master can the Effigy Benefit their Personal Effigy is undergoing as a minute long ritual.

They may not create or have in existence more than a number of pieces of cloth equal to their Effigy Master level times 10. The cloth is essentially weightless, and, due to its magical nature, takes up literally no room in the Effigy Master's bags or pockets, when they fold them up. Folding them in that way is a full round action for every 5 pieces of cloth they would be folding up.
Skill of Cloth (Ex): Starting at third level, the Effigy Master gains a Competency bonus equal to their Intelligence modifier to any one skill. They must choose one skill. They may change this choice as a swift action. While they have the Competency bonus to that skill, they may attempt to make those skill checks untrained.
Effigy Abilities: Starting at fourth level, and every three levels thereafter, the Effigy Master gains one Effigy Ability that they may apply to their Personal Effigy, taken from the list below. The Effigy Abilities have prerequisites based solely on level. After the Effigy Master has chosen an Effigy Ability, they may not change that choice.

They must choose one power of the Psychoportation, Psychometabolism, or Telepathy disciplines that is equal to or lower than one fifth of the Effigy Master’s Effigy Master levels. They may use their power points to cast only that power. They may gain a psionic focus, thanks to those power points. They may choose to change which power chosen this way as an hour long ritual, after 8 hours of rest. This ability may not be taken more than once.
