Listen to their music, the children of the night (Werewolf as a base class)

[Zaydos]

Werewolf

I think it’s a concept that needs little introduction. In making this class I tried to allow it to fulfill a large range of archetypes from the relatively mundane werewolf, to a warrior whose howls have magical powers, or even a spiritualistic shaman with powers drawn from the moon and shadows. As a forward of sorts I was bored and away from books while making most of this, and I haven't finished typing up the Alpha powers or even begun typing (or finished making) Mythic ones, but hey I figured people could look it over, make suggestions, note things they like, etc. Many of the wolf powers were inspired by my memories of the R.A.G.E. TCG from childhood particularly the more magical/shamanistic role that the class can perform with the proper wolf powers.

Adaptation: The class could be used for any type of lycanthrope, although certain wolf powers would not be appropriate for them all and need some adaptation or removal, and other aspects particular to the species would be missing (for example a Werebear has no place for Wolf Companion, Wolf Shape, or Bestial Trip, but might could have a Bear Companion power, a Bear Shape with reduced bonuses to make up for access to claw attacks, and a tree of grapple based powers), it could also be used for a person who had been touched by the Far-Realm and is becoming a Lovecraftian horror, switching out Lawful effects/weapons for Silver in DR and regeneration and with similar possible adaptations to Wolf Powers although the Blood Warrior and Howl effects (reflavored as maddening whispers, or the sorrowful music of the outer spheres) are particularly appropriate.

Class Features
All of the following are class features of the Werewolf.

Weapon and Armor Proficiencies: A werewolf is proficient in simple weapons and light armor, but not shields.

Hybrid Form (Ex): A werewolf may assume the form of a humanoid wolf and it is always the same form. Doing so, or returning to their human form, is a swift action. A werewolf may continue to wear their gear while in hybrid form. Their hybrid form is henceforth considered their natural form, and certain of their abilities only function while in hybrid form, function at a reduced effectiveness when outside it, or modify their hybrid form in some way. A werewolf may enter hybrid form even while in another form such as that induced by polymorph or similar spell or effect.

Fangs (Ex): When in their hybrid form a werewolf gains a bite attack they may use as a primary natural weapon dealing 1d6 + strength damage (1d6 +1/2 strength if used as a secondary natural weapon).

Low-Light Vision (Ex): A Werewolf gains low-light vision.

Natural Armor (Ex): A Werewolf gains natural armor, or their existing natural armor increases, by +1 at 1st level, and increasing by an additional one at 5th level and every 4 levels thereafter. This bonus is halved (round down) when the Werewolf is not in their hybrid form.

Damage Reduction (Ex): A Werewolf is resistant to most weapons, shrugging off blows that would threaten normal members of their species. A Werewolf gains DR overcome only by silver as indicated in the column labeled DR. This begins as DR 1/silver and increases at each odd numbered level after 1st.

Scent (Ex): A werewolf, even in their non-hybrid form, gains the Scent ability.

Scent
This extraordinary ability lets a creature detect approaching enemies, sniff out hidden foes, and track by sense of smell.
A creature with the scent ability can detect opponents by sense of smell, generally within 30 feet. If the opponent is upwind, the range is 60 feet. If it is downwind, the range is 15 feet. Strong scents, such as smoke or rotting garbage, can be detected at twice the ranges noted above. Overpowering scents, such as skunk musk or troglodyte stench, can be detected at three times these ranges.
The creature detects another creature’s presence but not its specific location. Noting the direction of the scent is a move action. If it moves within 5 feet of the scent’s source, the creature can pinpoint that source.
A creature with the Track feat and the scent ability can follow tracks by smell, making a Wisdom check to find or follow a track. The typical DC for a fresh trail is 10. The DC increases or decreases depending on how strong the quarry’s odor is, the number of creatures, and the age of the trail. For each hour that the trail is cold, the DC increases by 2. The ability otherwise follows the rules for the Track feat. Creatures tracking by scent ignore the effects of surface conditions and poor visibility.
Creatures with the scent ability can identify familiar odors just as humans do familiar sights.
Water, particularly running water, ruins a trail for air-breathing creatures. Water-breathing creatures that have the scent ability, however, can use it in the water easily.
False, powerful odors can easily mask other scents. The presence of such an odor completely spoils the ability to properly detect or identify creatures, and the base Survival DC to track becomes 20 rather than 10.

Track (Ex): A werewolf gains Track as a bonus feat.

Wolf Power (varies): At 2nd level, and every even level thereafter, a werewolf gains a Wolf Power selected from the list below. A Werewolf may only select Omega ranked powers. At 8th level they gain access to Beta ranked powers. At 14th level they gain access to Alpha ranked powers. At 20th level a Werewolf selects one Mythic power.

Any wolf power which refers to natural weapons only applies to those granted by the Werewolf class. Any save DC is 10 +1/2 Werewolf Class level +relevant ability score modifier specified in the text, or 10 + spell level + Charisma modifier in the case of a spell-like ability. Any spell-like ability uses your werewolf level as your caster level for its effect.

The Wolf Powers will be listed in the post(s) immediately below this one.

Iron Will (Ex): At 3rd level a Werewolf gains the Iron Will feat as a bonus feat.

+2 Dexterity: A werewolf reacts with the speed of a wolf, moving quickly both in and out of combat. Beginning at 3rd level a Werewolf gains a +2 Dexterity while in hybrid form. Beginning at 18th level a Werewolf gains an additional +2 Dexterity while in any form (a +4 total in Hybrid).

Claws: A werewolf’s clawed hands continue to grow sharper and larger, beginning at 5th level a werewolf gains 2 claw attacks as secondary natural weapons dealing 1d4 +1/2 Str modifier per hit while in hybrid form.

+2 Strength: A werewolf has the strength of a wolf, a warrior’s might. Beginning at 6th level a Werewolf gains a +2 Strength while in hybrid form. Beginning at 15th level a Werewolf gains an additional +2 Strength while in any form (a +4 total in Hybrid).

Natural Weapon Focus (Ex): Beginning at 7th level a werewolf is considered to have Weapon Focus in all natural weapons granted by this class.

Arsenal (Ex): Through a combination of increasing skill and ever growing talons and fangs, a werewolf’s natural weapons grow more damaging. Beginning at 7th level a werewolf’s claws deal 1d6 damage, and their bite deals 1d8 damage. In addition these natural weapons overcome damage reduction as if they were magic.

Regeneration: A werewolf’s body heals most wounds quickly, cuts sealing before their eyes, and few attacks able to put one down permanently. Beginning at 8th level a werewolf gains Regeneration 1, overcome by damage dealt by silver weapons or fire. A werewolf dies if decapitated and cannot regenerate essential organs (heart, lungs, brains, etc). A werewolf can regenerate limbs and non-vital organs but doing so takes 6 weeks -1 week per point of regeneration.
At 11th level, and every 3rd level thereafter, a werewolf’s regeneration increases by 1.

+2 Constitution: A werewolf has the endurance and vitality of a wolf. Beginning at 9th level a Werewolf gains a +2 Constitution while in hybrid form, and uses this Constitution to determine their maximum hp. Beginning at 19th level a Werewolf gains an additional +2 Constitution while in any form (a +4 total in Hybrid).

Improved Arsenal: A werewolf’s natural weapons continue to improve. Beginning at 10th level their claws deal 1d8 damage, and their bite deals 2d6 damage. In addition these natural weapons overcome damage reduction as if Cold Iron and Silver.

+2 Wisdom: A werewolf’s mind is close to nature, keen and observant on an instinctive level. Beginning at 12th level a werewolf gains a +2 bonus to Wisdom.

Natural Critical (Ex): Beginning at 13th level a werewolf is considered to have Improved Critical in all natural weapons granted by this class.

Superior Arsenal (Ex): Beginning at 16th level a werewolf’s claws deal 2d6 damage and their bite deals 3d6. Both have a critical threat range of 19-20 (17-20 after Improved Critical) and critical damage of x2.

Your blood pounds with primal power, adrenaline and blood hunger filling you, the pressure of your berserk state causes blood vessels to swell, and occasionally burst within your body.

Demoralizing Howl (Ex): As a standard action, you may release a fearsome howl attempting to demoralize enemies nearby.

Your regeneration ability from this class, once gained, allows you to regenerate damage dealt by fire, but may not allow you to regenerate damage dealt by good aligned weapons, spells or effects; if you have Spellwarding Hide or Greater Spellwarding Hide their damage reducing effects do not apply against spells with the good subtype but Greater Spellwarding Hide now applies against fire.

Prerequisite: Healer’s Gift.

Resist Magic (Su): As a free action which you may perform when dazed, stunned, or otherwise incapacitated but still conscious you may either instantly end one spell effect currently active on you (as if it were dispelled) or select one spell effect within 60-ft and become unaffected by it (as if you had a skin-tight anti-magic field which only affects it) until the start of your next turn.

Prerequisite: Spellwarding Hide.

Spellbreaker Howl (Su): Three times per day, as a standard action, you may release a powerful howl which disrupts nearby magic.

Prerequisites: Ability A++.
This indicates you must have ability A and any ability which lists ability A or A++ as a prerequisite. A final listing is:

Banshee’s Howl: Your terrible howl not only can break enemies which happen to be in its way but instills those which survive with fear. When you use your Ear-Shattering Howl creatures in the area must make a Will save or be Frightened for 1 round and then Shaken for 1 round per 5 werewolf levels you possess.
Prerequisites: Demoralizing Howl and Ear-Shattering Howl.

Blood of the Living Dead (Ex): You are healed by negative energy as if undead, and are immune to death effects and energy draining effects. If an effect would deal physical ability damage to you reduce that ability damage by 1 to each physical ability score it would damage.

Damage dealt to activate this ability cannot be prevented, or reduced and is lethal regardless of any regeneration you may possess.
Prerequisites: Bloodwarrior’s Fury.

Bloodwarrior’s Call (Su): Craning back your head you release a blood curdling howl as a standard action. Doing so you create one or more beings constructed from your blood and the dark powers invoked by your howl based upon how much Constitution burn you are willing to deal yourself. This creates 1 blood construct if you pay 1 Constitution burn, plus 1 for every 2 additional Constitution burn you are willing to receive. These blood constructs are treated as Astral Constructs with a number of power points spent augmenting them equal to 2 less than your werewolf level, in addition to the normal qualities of an astral construct they gain SR 10 + your werewolf level, the Evil subtype any weapon, natural or manufactured, they wield dealing damage as if it were evil aligned for the purposes of overcoming DR and regeneration, and when you are in Blood Fervor your blood constructs gain all the benefits and penalties of it. You may only have blood constructs from one use of this ability at a time and they last 2 rounds per werewolf level you possess.

Prerequisites: Bloodwarrior’s Howl.

Change Shape (Su): Your control of your form continues to improve allowing you to access a wide-gamut of alien forms. This functions similar to the spell Polymorph using your werewolf level as your caster level to determine the maximum hit dice of forms available to you. You may only assume an alternate form through this ability for 2 rounds per class level each day, though you may divide this into multiple uses. Activating this ability is a standard action while in your normal form, or swift action while it is already active, but you may only activate it 3 times per day and activating it while it is already active expends one of these uses; deactivating it is a free action. You may not assume plant or ooze forms with this ability (unlike polymorph) and you do not regain hp when activating this ability.
Prerequisites: Change Skin.

Command Spirits (Sp): You may use Charm Monster as a spell-like ability at-will, except that it only affects spirits (see Spirit Brother) and ignores any immunity to charm or mind-affecting effects granted by their type and they suffer a -2 penalty to their Will save to resist this effect.

Despite being a supernatural ability this effect may be dispelled as if it were a spell. An effect which blocks gaze attacks also blocks this effect.
Prerequisites: Tainted Blood++ or Dhampyr Climb++.

Deft Claw, Greater: When you make a full attack and do not wield a manufactured weapon you may make an extra claw at -10 (in addition to the one granted by Deft Claw). In any round in which you do not full attack you may use a swift action to make a claw attack (at its normal bonus, this is still a secondary natural weapon).

A swallowed creature is considered to be grappled, while the creature that did the swallowing is not. A swallowed creature can try to cut its way free with any light slashing or piercing weapon by dealing at least 40 damage (this damage does not need to overcome your regeneration), or it can just try to escape the grapple. The Armor Class of the your interior is 10 + 1/2 your natural armor with no other modifiers. If the swallowed creature escapes the grapple, success puts it back in your mouth, where it may be bitten or swallowed again.
Each round that a creature remains swallowed it takes bludgeoning damage equal to your bite damage.

Heart-Stopping Howl (Su): Twice per day you may release a horrible howl which strikes terror into the very bodies of your foes. Any enemy within 30-ft must make a Fortitude save or die, a successful Fortitude save reduces this effect to 1 minute of being Shaken. This is a non-mind-affecting fear effect and a death effect. Any creature which successfully saves gains immunity to your Heart-Stopping Howl permanently, and any creature which failed its save and is later revived suffers a -4 penalty on future saves against your Heart-Stopping Howl.
Prerequisites: Primal Terror or Banshee’s Howl.

Hound of Asmodeus (Su): Your hellish nature suffuses your entire being granting you various traits associated with the Baatezu. Your damage reduction becomes penetrable only by weapons which are both Good and Silver, and you can regenerate damage dealt by weapons that are only one of Good or Silver (but not by weapons which are both, or spells or effects which are Good). You gain Telepathy out to a range of 60-ft, cold and acid resistance 10, and the ability to see perfectly in darkness of any kind, even that created by a deeper darkness spell. Finally you are surrounded by a fell aura, any good creature within 10-ft of you must make a Fort save (Charisma based) or be nauseated for 1 round and sickened for 1 minute, a creature which successfully saves is immune to this effect for 24 hours and a creature currently affected by it (even if merely sickened) is also immune to further effects from it.
Prerequisites: Nessian Bred+2

King’s Arsenal (Ex): Your natural weapons deal an additional +1d6 damage per hit (this bonus damage is multiplied on a critical hit) and overcome Damage Reduction as if epic.

Many Talented (Ex): You gain 1 Wolf Power of each grade lower than this one.

Moonshadow Grandmaster (Sp): Once per day you can gather the magical power of shadows to replicate the effect of any Evocation, Illusion, or Enchantment spell from the Cleric, Druid, or Sorcerer spell list of level 8 or lower. You must pay any experience point costs and if the spell would normally require an expensive material component you must pay 1 XP per 5 GP in that component's cost.

Relentless (Ex): Your body is sustained by some inner power long past when death should overtake you. You are not rendered unconscious due to nonlethal damage until it is 10 more than your current hp, and you may remain conscious and fight with no penalties while at 0 to -9 hp. You do not die, or fall unconscious, until you have been at -10 or less hp, or had 10 or more nonlethal damage in excess to your current hp, for 3 rounds. If you would die due to Constitution damage or another effect which kills you without dealing hit point damage (a death effect, for example) you may continue fighting for 2 rounds without dying, if the effect that would kill you is somehow healed (Constitution is raised to 1 or higher, negative levels are removed, deific miracle or some sort of time shenanigans reverses the death effect) you do not die.

Revivifying Howl (Su): 1/day you may further empower your Invigorating Howl giving it the ability to revive the recently slain. When you use your Invigorating Howl all dead creatures within the rage that died within the last 3 rounds and whose bodies are mostly intact and whose souls are free are revived at -9 hp and stable without any level loss and allied creatures affected by this are then healed by your Invigorating Howl as normal. Alternatively you may use this ability forgoing the normal effects of your Invigorating Howl entirely to revive one dead creature within the range that died within the last 10 minutes. You may not use this ability alongside Swift Invigorating Howl.
Prerequisites: Howl of Resurgences.

Severing Claws (Su): Your natural weapons are considered to be vorpal. If you score a natural 20 you may choose to remove a singly limb other than the head, or other protruding body part (nose, ear, eye stalk, toe, finger, but not torso, spleen, stomache, brain, tongue unless it is sticking its tongue out at you, etc).
Prerequisites: Eldritch Claws or any ability with Eldritch Claws as a prerequisite or any ability with such an ability as a prerequisite.

Soul Shepherd (Su): You may enter the Ethereal Plane from the Material Plane, or the Material Plane from the Ethereal Plane, as a standard action usable at will. In addition once per day you may do one of the following: as a standard action banish a restless soul to the afterlife, this affects any incorporeal undead/deathless, lich, or other undead or deathless that specifically is animated by its own soul, this effectively destroys them and prevents them from being resurrected for 1 year, a successful Will save (Charisma based DC) negates this function of this ability; or as a 10 minute action return the soul of a creature into its body, this is an action which must be taken on the Ethereal Plane at a point conterminous with the creature’s mostly intact body and revives the creature at -9 hp and stable without any level loss, this cannot be used to revive a creature whose body is not intact or whose soul was destroyed or imprisoned.
Prerequisites: Ghost Step and Healer’s Touch.

Spellsuppressing Hide (Su): Like cold iron your very nature disrupts magic. Any creature adjacent to you has its caster level for spells and spell-like abilities reduced by 4. In addition for 1 round each day per 2 class levels you may radiate a 20-ft radius field of anti-magic centered on yourself. Activating this anti-magic aura is a standard action, although you may end it at any time (even when it is not your turn) as a free action. If you are knocked unconscious while it is active it will remain active for a number of rounds equal to your Constitution modifier without expending duration for them, but if you die it is immediately ended.
Prerequisites: Spell Resistance, Greater Spellbreaker Howl, or Spell Cleansing.

Steal Moments (Su): Three times per day you may freeze time as the Time Spot spell. Once you have used this ability you must wait 10 minutes to use it again due to the intense strain it places upon your body and soul.
Prerequisites: Instant Reaction.

Steal the Light (Su): You may see normally in darkness, even if it is magical. In addition you may suppress all light sources within 60-ft of you, at-will as a swift action. This has no effect on light produced by sources further than 60-ft from you (in most setting this means that even if you somehow fly to the sun unless it is 60-ft or less in diameter you can only put out a small portion of it), but it does stop any surface within the area from reflecting light. This ability remains active until deactivated as a free action. As a standard action, as long as this ability has been active in an area with a light source of at least bright illumination, you may release this stolen light in the form of a blinding flash with a 100-ft radius centered on you, or a 300-ft line of blinding light; this immediately deactivates this ability. All creatures (other than yourself) in the area must make a Fortitude save or be blinded for 2d3 rounds. Once you have released light in a flash you may not use Steal the Light again for 5 rounds.
Prerequisites: Moonshadow Master, Enter into Shadow, or Shadow Step.

[Zaydos]

Added mythic and alpha abilities, formatting (bolding, italics, alphabetization, etc) still needs to be done as does fluff (the boring part of homebrew*) but while I muster the will to do those things a couple of questions:

Any Wolf Power trees you'd like to see extended?
Any idea for Mythic Powers, I want to make more but my creative has dried up at the moment.
Is the Moonshadow tree too much?
Any comments in general?


Edit: Also any suggestions for an affliction tree, it's one of the most famous werewolf abilities and I didn't include it at all. Partially because it works better as an NPC ability than a PC one, partially because I'm not even sure it's beneficial in the form werewolves usually have it. Even so I want to give it to them for completionist's sake.

[razorfloss]

Looks interesting sorry I can't judge balance but keep it up

[Zaydos]

Added a tree of wolf powers for becoming part Hellhound (complete with an in-class ability to gain kind of sucky flight and good teleportation at 14th level), it doesn't have a mythic ability yet and I feel that it should just haven't thought up something mythic enough added a mythic ability but I'm kind of eyeing it, so am still open for suggestions for a replacement or alternative.

Also sorted wolf powers alphabetically within categories and bolded their names, hopefully that will make them easier to read.


Looks interesting sorry I can't judge balance but keep it up

While balance critiques are useful, the words of encouragement do help.

[Melayl]

I like it. I tried making a werewolf base class before -- I'll try to look back and see what powers I might suggest. I think I had one set about increasing your Cha bonus for interacting with people... Animal Magnetism or some such?

I'll try to see what I can come up with.

Keep it up!

--------
Edit:: Blindsense, Dominate (similar to a vampire'e dominating gaze).

Also, do their natural weapons qualify for iterative attacks? If not, some option to allow that, or allow them to qualify for Rapidstrike would be nice.

[Zaydos]

At the moment the only way to get iterative attacks is 20th level with your Mythic Power. I'm wary about giving them flat iterative attacks because comparing to say a barbarian your wolf powers already can get you the necessary enchantments (and keep your WBL for other things) or close substitutes (you don't get speed weapon but get self-target haste for 20 rounds each day which does grant an extra bite attack, you don't get holy but get +1d6 damage to evil and lawful creatures) and you get a lot of defensive benefits compared to a barbarian (better AC, possibly better DR, better saves, regen), and potentially some offensive ones as well (+5d6 flanking only sneak attack). At the moment you're roughly 30 points of damage behind a raging barbarian's full attack 3 extra claw attacks would invert this difference (assuming no PA). That said if they cost Wolf Powers you're be trading at least as much. They can also get a manufactured weapon and wield it in two hands while using a secondary bite attack, but I don't want that to be the melee build (I'm alright with that being the best melee option for those who don't invest class features into melee but I want the best goodies to need Natural Weapons).

They can get Blindsense (theoretically based on scent) as a beta power, they don't have a Dominate ability but I was already thinking about giving them a dhampyr wolf power tree so that could easily be on it (though I might go with Charm like Half-Vampire template) and possibly on some of the others. They do have the ability to Charm Spirits (elementals, incorporeal undead, and fey mostly) if they want to go that route.

Edit:Added Wolf Powers for extra claw attacks as Beta and Alpha to give you 2 iterative claw attacks (and the mythic bite one gives you a full suite of bite, so you could end up with 9 attacks a round but you'd be sacrificing a good amount of damage per hit compared to a barbarian), and added 2 iterative bites to your wolf form if you take Wolf Shape (at mythic this still gets high enough to one round some CR 20 enemies).

[Legendxp]

Wouldn't this make more sense as a race rather than a class? It seems weird that you can learn how to become a werewolf. Maybe make this a monster with HD advancement? I guess I'm just having trouble wrapping my head around this.

[Zaydos]

Wouldn't this make more sense as a race rather than a class? It seems weird that you can learn how to become a werewolf. Maybe make this a monster with HD advancement? I guess I'm just having trouble wrapping my head around this.

I made it as a class because it works better mechanically for something intended to be played by PCs. Unless HD advancement grants new abilities it is never worth the levels for a PC (even dragon hit dice aren't really worth it on their own), and the LA for having the abilities that a werewolf ought makes it unplayable at low levels and crippled at high levels, by allowing you to acquire these powers over the course of levels it lets you even it out so you don't have a point where you need LA. It also meant I could use a chassis which works mechanically without labeling them Magical Beasts which would just be wrong but is the closest mechanically for representing a werewolf well (and still has problems such as too few skill points to pick up all the skills they'd need thus necessitating the clunky use of racial bonuses or the even odder racial bonus skill ranks which would be required to keep their numbers in line with game math). This is the secondary reason.

A tertiary reason was to allow representation of the various versions of werewolf which did not result from birth or a disease (i.e. any non-D&D ones).

The main reason is I was bored, stuck on a road trip, and had already read 5 novels that week so I had time and the idea struck me so I made it.

Twisted One

Some things touched by the Far Realm are not destroyed, but become part of it, an extension of its taint onto the realms of mundane reality. These beings are many and varied, including such creatures as the kaorti an some varieties of aberrations. Among these creatures are those which have obtained the power to manifest the "blessings" of the Far Realm in their form, becoming horrible warriors of its power. These twisted ones are able to manifest a battle form, where their body is twisted into a horror from beyond or before reality, gaining some of the rejuvenative powers of the horrors which have tainted their very being.

Others become Twisted Ones by choice learning to channel the power of the Far Realm, taking it into their own being and expressing it into the world around them by choice.

A Twisted One is a Werewolf ACF where upon you trade Low-Light Vision for Dark Vision 60-ft, Track for Aberration Heritage, +2 Wisdom for +2 Charisma, lose Scent, and access to certain Wolf Powers for access to a new list of additional "Far Realm" powers specific to Twisted Ones. Your DR becomes X/Lawful instead of X/Silver and your regeneration is penetrated by Lawful damage instead of silver. If you take the (Greater) Spellwarding Hide ability damage from Lawful spells cannot be resisted and replace mentions of Silver with Lawful.

Child of Primal Chaos (Ex/Su): You are kin to the beings of the Far Realm and of the old Abyss, born of the Chaos beyond reality.

You gain immunity to flanking, and 20% immunity to critical hits/sneak attack (or any class based resistance increases by 20%), an additional 2 points of DR, +2 to your Strength, +2 to your Dexterity, and +6 to your Constitution. While in this form you lose all natural weapons you possess and gain a number of tentacle attacks (which deal damage as your claws but bludgeoning instead of slashing/piercing) equal to the number of natural weapon attacks granted by this class plus 1 per 7 werewolf levels.
This tree is currently unfinished

Memories of Future's Past (Su): You gain the ability to draw knowledge from potential time lines. This functions as Bardic Knowledge but the information is drawn from what might be known to future generations. If information is certain to be lost during the period 1000 to 4000 years in your future it is unavailable to you, conversely information not yet known but which might be legend during that period is available to you (with a good roll), and you use your Charisma modifier in place of Wisdom for this ability.

Farspawned Tendrils: When making a full-attack in hybrid form you may choose to forgo any weapon and claw attacks you may possess to make a series of 4 tentacle attacks each dealing damage as claws of a creature 1 size category smaller than you, as secondary natural weapons; this damage is bludgeoning instead of slashing & piercing.
Prerequisite: Alien Physiology, Born of Chaos, Form of Chaos, or Undermining Blows

Step Between: When you take a move you may teleport up to your speed if you have line of sight or line of effect instead of moving normally.

If you succeed the chance of a right answer is 1-82, a lie is 83-95, and a random answer is 96-100.

Prerequisite: Tentacled Maw++.

Soul Blast: Your Mind Blast has is a 40-ft cone and any creature which fails its save is stunned for 3d4 rounds. Even on a successful save they suffer 1d4 Charisma damage. A successful save no longer grants temporary protection against this effect.
Prerequisite: Mind Blast.

Command the Orderless: You gain the ability to use Charm Monster as a spell-like ability at-will except that it only affects obyriths, aberrations, and creatures native to the Far Realm. This ability ignores an obyrith's natural immunity to mind-affecting effects, and these creatures suffer a -2 penalty on their will save. You may only have one use of this ability active at a time, and activating it while a creature is under its effect ends the effect on the previous creature.
Prerequisites: Child of Primal Order++.

Time Out of Joint: Once per day you may reverse time for you for 1 round. Activating this ability is a free action, usable only at the beginning of your turn, and resets everything about you to the beginning of your last turn (durations are turned back, damage taken or healed is undone, spells or abilities used on you are negated, expended abilities are unexpended, etc). The only effects not reversed is position and effects inherent in it (if you are grappled, if you are in a solid fog, if you are prone, etc).
Prerequisites: Memories of Future Past++

Strike the Future: 3 times per day you may attack a creature's position in the time stream damaging its very existence. Activating this ability is a free action and when you do your next melee attack deals no damage this round. Instead at the end of your next turn the target takes double the normal damage and it is considered vile damage. In addition they must make a Charisma check as their place in the time line is damaged (DC 15 + your Charisma modifier), if they fail they suffer a -2 penalty to attacks, ability and skill checks, AC, and saves for 1 hour. You may not use Strike the Future on the same creature more than once per day.
Prerequisites: Memories of Future Past++ or Prescience of the Far Realm++.

Dread Foreknowledge: As a standard action you may make a single natural weapon attack with a True Strike effect; you may use this ability at will. In addition you gain a foreknowledge of personal tragedy; you cannot be surprised.

Soul of Primal Madness: You gain a Form of Madness as an Obyrith (DC is Charisma based), and chooses one madness from the list below. All these abilities have a range of 30-ft and last until cured by a heal, greater restoration, wish, or miracle spell. You gain immunity to the Form of Madness abilities of Obyriths and other Twisted Ones.


Madness of Self-Perfection: The creature becomes obsessed with the perfection of its own form, and its own inherent superiority to other creatures. The creature becomes lax in self-defense suffering a -4 to AC and -2 to saving throws. It is also harder for the creature to interact with others, suffering a -4 to Charisma based checks to interact with others (diplomacy, bluff, etc).

Madness of Wisdom's Folly: The creature is struck by the sheer expansiveness of the Chaos that you are but a shard of, suffering a -6 penalty to Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma until cured (this may not lower a creature's ability to less than 1).

Madness of Lost Pasts: The creature loses a portion of their personal memories, forgetting what made them who they once were. They suffer from random losses of details of their personal memories and suffer 1d4 negative levels. These negative levels are not the result of negative energy and effects which protect against negative levels have no effect on them and can only be cured by healing this madness and never become permanent level loss despite their duration.

Madness of Uncovered Futures: The creature's mind is flooded with potential futures each possible but unformed. The creature loses their Dexterity bonus to AC, any bonus to AC derived from other mental ability scores, and any insight bonuses they would possess. In addition the target cannot benefit from the Foresight spell.

Madness of Heavy Weightlessness: The creature is filled with a madness which causes them to be disoriented by flight. Any creature suffering from this madness is nauseated whenever it is flying whether due to being carried aloft or its own power or a spell.

Added a far realm adaptation (just above this). Powers are still WiP but due to RL business I'm not sure I'll be able to finish them before next week but wanted to go ahead and post what I had (Omega Powers) and ask if anyone thought a weak obyrith "animal" companion was a possibility instead of Wolf Companion.

Added

8 new feats.
Several new wolf powers including a Dhampyr set for werewolves with vampiric taint/powers (because werewolves were mythologically linked to vampires, including sometimes the latter being the result of the death of the former).

Edit: And I realized I never finished Far Realm adaptation... I will do so when I have the motivation. If I don't forget.

I have other things on my list to fix/work on. Like contest entries.

First of all, I love the look of this class!

One nitpick: compared to gaining spider climb or +3 on Hide and Move Silently, it seems like a ranger-level animal companion might be a bit strong for an Omega ability. It seems like it's more on par with Beta, or even Alpha or Mythic if you made it like a druid's or better
