The Ley Siphon

Concepts: Ley lines are ever-present currents of energy, crisscrossing through the world, following and shaping the contours of terrain over millenia like water shapes a river. Ley energy is often ignored, but appears to be one of the most prevalent natural forces, shaping flow of earth and energy in every plane.
A ley siphon draws their energy from the ley lines, bending or reconfiguring them to alter their surroundings. Ley siphons are rare, and generally in high demand, for their ability to quickly turn the tide of a battle, or fortify a position.
A single change a ley siphon can develop is known as a plan, which is prepared and then used, similarly to a wizard's spells. A plan can range from an area where every creature feels much more clumsy in their attacks, to carving a river through the battlefield.
Ley siphons have an unusual variety in how they let loose their abilities. Most commonly, they prepare a plan and quickly set it in action by deploying it. If they need something they did not plan for, they can flare the plan, at the cost of hurting their potential for the rest of the day. Conversely, if they have time to spare, they can reroute the ley lines, making their desired effect permanent.
A ley siphon's ability to transform ley energy is is simplified to the amount of pulse they have. Their pulse total represents the total magnitude of all effects they can sustain at a time, and usually wears out over the day as the ley siphon pushes their abilities. Flaring, and some other effects, decrease the pulse a ley siphon has to work with until it eventually regenerates, so they must use these abilities sparingly.
Adventures: A ley siphon often explores to study, mapping out terrain and ley lines for future reference. Many also seek out examples of natural geographic features, cunning traps, magnificent architecture, and historical accounts of great battles, looking for ideas for future Plans. Others work for the money, often to help a siege breach, or fortify a location.
Characteristics: A ley siphon is a master of changing the flow of combat. By controlling the terrain, fortifications, morale, and even physical laws of the battlefield, the Ley Engineer steers enemies into ambushes and choke points, or guides allies to the high ground. If no high ground is to be found, she simply creates some on the spot.
Alignment: Ley siphons are found in all alignments, some corrupted by their power to disrupt cities, others using their abilities to protect what they care about. Lawful ley siphons seem more prone to preparation and deployment, while chaotic ley siphons utilize the adaptability of flaring often.
Religion: Many ley siphons revere no deities at all -- their own intellect, perception, and ability to reshape the world can be rather a boost to the ego. Those that do offer up obeisance and praise to the divine tend to find common ground with deities of Craft and Artifice; other ley siphons might connect well with deities of the natural world, through their intuitive understanding of ley lines and geography.
Background: Becoming a ley siphon requires many years at a university or other training facility. An aspiring ley siphon must train her mind and senses to become aware of her surroundings in a more fundamental and all-encompassing way than seems possible to the uninitiated. Such training is long and arduous, and only those with great mental fortitude can hope to succeed.
In addition, the education must be available in the first place. Most sufficiently large or specialized schools are found in large cities, and are very expensive. This means that a ley siphon must find her way to the big city and finance her education somehow, whether through aristocratic birth, backbreaking labor during the night to pay for room, board, and classes, or by the subsidy of a foreign power who will lay claim to her services after her schooling is complete.
Races: Races with better perception, intelligence, and longer life spans are more successful ley siphons in most cases, though any race that is in touch with the earth, or can appreciate the value of fortifications may take up the job. Ranks of ley siphons are made up mostly of humans, dwarves, gnomes, elves and half-elves, with lesser groups of warforged, kobolds, planetouched and killoren.
Other Classes: Though ley siphons may be egotistical and demanding of others, most other classes appreciate the benefits they can bring to any endeavor. Ley siphons tend to engage in mutual dislike of wizards, archivists, and artificers, mostly due to academic rivalries between the departments which were ingrained during training, but work well with almost every other class. Any ley siphon too pigheaded to recognize the value even of their rivals in difficult situations is unlikely to live very long.
Role: A ley siphon is a capable battlefield controller, and can amplify her allies' abilities both tactically, and directly with some of her plans. Though mostly trained for large-scale conflicts, the principles she learns can be applied to skirmishes, dungeon crawls, and other situations quite easily. In addition, due to the requisite broad and thorough education, a ley siphon can also act as a party's repository of knowledge.
Adaptation: In some campaigns, ley siphons may take the role of shamans, scholars in a more primitive society with strong oral traditions, who shape the world around them to protect and aid the tribes they lead. In another, one might be a semi-divine being who wields the power of the creators of the multiverse, molding reality in her own image. If the setting has a much higher science and technology level than traditional high-magic fantasy, a ley siphon might not draw upon the power of ley lines, but instead use nanobots, transporters, and gravity generators to terraform planets.

Ley Siphon Feat
Class Features
Draw Ley (Su): A ley siphon draws energy from the web of ley lines below the world's surface, currents of energy . By drawing from the ever-present ley lines, a ley siphon can redirect their energy to directly control the physical and supernatural effects the terrain generates. The energy a ley siphon is channeling is known as pulse.
At any given time, a ley siphon has a base amount of pulse equal to their class level plus their Wisdom mod, though this can be modified. Pulse is usually invested, rather than spent, and in such cases is immediately regained when it is no longer being used.
Some effects will refer to burning pulse. This causes the pulse to be lost, rather than invested. Burned pulse returns at a rate of 1 pulse every 10 minutes, and all pulse returns after 8 hours rest.
Plans (Su): Merely exerting force on the channeled ley energy is rarely useful. Instead, a ley siphon imposes their will through many small pre-planned changes, preparing their plans similarly to a wizard's preparation of spells, though the process is much simpler.
Plans can take a variety of forms, but are usually a desired effect spread among a given area called a field, or a physical change to the battlefield terrain.
A ley siphon knows all plans on her class list, given below. A ley siphon can only use a plan they currently have prepared and preparing a plan requires 10 minutes or relative inactivity, such as walking or sitting. At any given time, a ley siphon may have a number of plans prepared equal to 1 + her Intelligence mod.
Deploy (Su): As a standard action, a ley siphon can deploy one of her prepared plans. For plans, she targets a space within her channel range (15ft until modified) as the center of the effect. She then determines the size of the field.
The larger the field, the more pulse will need to be invested to maintain the same effect. Most plans benefit from having greater force, which is effectively the total pulse invested into the effect, divided by the area of the effect. The ley siphon then invests as much of their pulse as they like, which is converted to force depending on the size of the field.

40ft radius
8 pulse
50ft radius
10 pulse
60ft radius
12 pulse
70ft radius
14 pulse
80ft radius
16 pulse
After being deployed, the effect lasts until the ley siphon ends it, as a free action. Upon ending the effect, the ley siphon gains back all invested pulse.
Fields are easy to see, with a DC 10 spot check to identify an area being a field (or an unusual area, if they do not know of fields) and to see its borders. While a creature is in contact with, or within 30ft above a field, they are considered to be in that field, are are subject to its effects as listed in the field description.
If the plan is not , it may follow different rules, as listed with the relevant plans.
[B]Ley Siphon Feat (Ex): Where indicated in the class table, you gain an additional feat from the Ley Siphon Feats listed below.
Coming soon:Commands, Flare Command
[B]Flare Plan
When your plans fail, you learn to exert your will through intuition and brute force.
Prerequisites: Plans, Deploy, Cha 13
Benefit: As a swift action, you may "flare" any plan that you know, without having to have prepared it beforehand. Doing this requires significantly more energy and all pulse used is burned in the process. At level 5 and every 5 levels thereafter, you may flare an additional plan in a single swift action.
Flare Discount
Prerequisites: Flare Plan or Flare Command, Cha 19
Benefit: When you flare a plan or command, one quarter of the pulse is not burned. This feat can be taken up to two times.
Rapid Recovery
Prerequisites: Plans, Wisdom 17
Benefit: Burned Pulse recovers 1 per minute.
Normal: Burned Pulse recovers 1 per 10 minutes.
Speeding Recovery
Prerequisites: Rapid Recovery, Wisdom 21
Benefit: Burned Pulse recovers 1 per round.
Realize Plans
You can shift the very earth, making your plans permanent.
Prerequisites: Plans, Deploy, Int 15
Benefit: Rather than deploying a plan, you may realize it, permanently rerouting the ley lines to project the plan onto the landscape. By investing pulse as if you were deploying a plan for one hour per pulse used, and spending one standard action per round until the duration is complete, the plan is realized. It returns the invested pulse, and thereafter does not require pulse to remain active.
Rapid Realization
Prerequisites: Realize Plans, Int 17
Benefit: While realizing a plan, the duration of the realization is reduced to 30 minutes per invested pulse, and the action required each round is a move action.
Speeding Realization
Prerequisites: Rapid Realization, Int 19
Benefit: While realizing a plan, the duration of the realization is reduced to 10 minutes per invested pulse, and the action required each round is a swift action.
Portfolio
Prerequisites: Plans, Int 13
Benefit: You may choose a number of plans equal to half your Intelligence Modifier (unmodified by items, spells, drain, etc.). These plans are boiled down to a quick heuristic, and are always considered to be prepared, but burn one quarter the pulse used. The chosen plans can be changed any time you gain a level.
Improved Portfolio
Prerequisites: Portfolio, Int 17
Benefit: Your portoflio grows to a number of plans equal to your Intelligence Modifier.
Greater Portfolio
Prerequisites: Portfolio, Int 21
Benefit: Your portoflio grows to a number of plans equal to twice your Intelligence Modifier.
Channel Ley
Prerequisites: Draw Ley, Wis 15
Benefit: Once per day, you may activate this ability as a swift action. On the round it is activated, your maximum and current pulse are increased by one, and this effect repeats every round until you have gained a bonus equal to your wisdom modifier. After reaching this maximum, your total and current pulse are decreased by one until everything gained from this ability is lost. This feat may be taken any number of times. Each time you gain an additional use per day.

[B]Coalesce Ley Web
You have learned to bend the ley lines in the area toward you, granting a temporary surge of pulse.
Prerequisites: Draw Ley, Wis 17
Benefit: Once per day, you may activate this ability as a swift action. On the round it is activated, your maximum and current pulse are increased by one, and this effect repeats every round until you have gained a bonus equal to your wisdom modifier. After reaching this maximum, your total and current pulse are decreased by one until everything gained from this ability is lost. This feat may be taken any number of times. Each time you gain an additional use per day.
Blood to Batteries
Using convoluted and not entirely ethical procedures, you can use the power of blood to fuel your plans.
Prerequisites: Plans, Cha 15
Benefit: You gain one pulse and one maximum pulse for every 25 liters of collected blood exposed to air + every 5 bleeding bodies within 60ft. One body can be drained for 5 liters of blood. used blood bubbles and dissipates, disappearing after 5 rounds.
Rapid Preparation
Your mind works faster as you formulate your plans.
Prerequisites: Plans, Int 15
Benefit: By taking consecutive full round actions for 5 minutes, you may prepare a plan. You may still prepare plans normally.
Normal: Plans require 10 minutes of relative inactivity to prepare.
Channel Range Increase
Prerequisites: Plans, Deploy, Cha 13
Benefit: When using a plan, command, or other ability that refers to your Channel Range, the range is increased by 15ft. This feat may be taken any number of times.
Normal: Channel Range begins at 15ft.
Manual Field Shape [MetaField]
You gain precise control in the manifestations of your power.
Prerequisites: Plans, Deploy, Int 15
Benefit: When creating a field, rather than making a perfect circle of the given radius, you may distribute the effect through a number of tiles based upon the radius of the field. The number of tiles given is equal to the radius of the field in feet, so a 30ft radius field grants 30 tiles. One of the tiles must be in the targeted space where the center would normally be, and all tiles must be adjacent to another tile from that field. When it would make sense, the level of detail can be made less than a single 5ft square, such as shaping the field into a staircase for use with gate to stone. The cost of an affected plan is unchanged.
Ley Immunity [MetaField]
The raw energy in the land parts for you.
Prerequisites: Plans, Deploy, Int 15
Benefit: When creating a field, you may choose to have it not effect you in any way. At your choice, either the cost of force is increased by 1 for this field, or you must burn 1 pulse per force.
Lasting Touch [MetaField]
The pull of the earth clings to them as they try to escape.
Prerequisites: Plans, Deploy, Int 15
Benefit:
When creating a field, you may choose to give it the following effect. After a creature leaves an affected field, they are still considered to be within the field for 1 + your Charisma mod rounds. At your choice, either the cost of force is increased by 1 for this field, or you must burn 1 pulse per force.
Hidden Field [MetaField]
You disguise your more supernatural effects to catch the unwary.
Prerequisites: Plans, Deploy, Int 15
Benefit:
When creating a field, you may choose to make its appearance non-obvious. These fields requires a spot check of 10 + 1/2 class level + your Charisma mod to notice and recognize the borders. At your choice, either the cost of force is increased by 1 for this field, or you must burn 1 pulse per force.

[B]Ley Siphon Feat (Ex): Where indicated in the class table, you gain an additional feat from the Ley Siphon Feats listed below.
Coming soon:Commands, Flare Command
[B]Flare Plan
When your plans fail, you learn to exert your will through intuition and brute force.
Prerequisites: Plans, Deploy, Cha 13
Benefit: As a swift action, you may "flare" any plan that you know, without having to have prepared it beforehand. Doing this requires significantly more energy and all pulse used is burned in the process. At level 5 and every 5 levels thereafter, you may flare an additional plan in a single swift action.
Flare Discount

Benefit: When you flare a plan or command, one quarter of the pulse is not burned. This feat can be taken up to two times.
Rapid Recovery
Prerequisites: Plans, Wisdom 17
Benefit: Burned Pulse recovers 1 per minute.
Normal: Burned Pulse recovers 1 per 10 minutes.
Speeding Recovery
Prerequisites: Rapid Recovery, Wisdom 21
Benefit: Burned Pulse recovers 1 per round.
Realize Plans
You can shift the very earth, making your plans permanent.
Prerequisites: Plans, Deploy, Int 15
Benefit: Rather than deploying a plan, you may realize it, permanently rerouting the ley lines to project the plan onto the landscape. By investing pulse as if you were deploying a plan for one hour per pulse used, and spending one standard action per round until the duration is complete, the plan is realized. It returns the invested pulse, and thereafter does not require pulse to remain active.
