The Awakened Champion:
While heavily inspired by Moorcock's Eternal Champions (Hawkwind, Corum, Elric), and to a lesser extent the concept of Ta'Veren from Jordan's Wheel of Time, the class is not intended to replicate either of those.
Sometimes heroes are born. Sometimes they are born and reborn time and time again. These people, fated to be heroes, usually live out lives of great exploits never realizing that they are reborn from the soul of ancient heroes. Rarely something goes awry and one of these reborn heroes awakens to his past, the voices of a thousand lives clamoring for his attention. Some men break under the strain, a thousand lifetimes of fate too much to bear, others set forth to become greater heroes than any that came before them.
Adventures: An Awakened Champion adventures because they have no choice otherwise. Some may adventure because they feel the need to live up to the greatness of the lives they have lived before, but regardless of motivation ultimately an Awakened Champion cannot choose to retire and live happily. If they find a peaceful life within a matter of years it will be destroyed. If they marry their family will be slain, if they join a king’s court a coup will disrupt it, if they become a king their reign will be fraught with enemies which require their personal attention.
Characteristics: An Awakened Champion is an adventurer first and foremost. They are tough to kill, hanging to life tooth and nail. In addition to their resilience, Awakened Champions have a variety of skills drawn from their myriad lives.
Alignment: An Awakened Champion can be of any alignment, and in fact amongst their lives they usually count at least one of each alignment. Good Awakened Champions put their lives on the line time and time again to protect others from the brunt of monstrous assaults. Evil Awakened Champions are often those driven mad from the strain of the lives which weigh upon them. Lawful Awakened Champions are rarer than Chaotic ones, the life of adventure placed upon them often shattering any belief in law. That said Awakened Champions have a firsthand look at cosmic law and as such some bind themselves to its cause.
Religion: Awakened Champions have no definite religious leanings to or away from the worship of any specific gods.
Background: Awakened Champions come from a variety of backgrounds. There is one common point in the background of Awakened Champions, at some point they awakened to the sheer press of lives behind them and either set forth on their own or waited for such an action to be forced on them.
Races: Awakened Champions can come from any race as destiny calls on them all from time to time. If any race shows a predilection to spawn them it is humans and their tendency to spawn heroes who push beyond their limitations.
Other Classes: Awakened Champions have fulfilled enough different roles in their past lives to know that most other classes can be of use and are willing to consider people on their own merits.
Abilities: Awakened Champions rely primarily on Charisma for their special abilities. Strength determines how well they hit and how much damage they deal in melee, meanwhile Dexterity adds to their AC and initiative as well as ranged attacks. Constitution determines how well they can survive, determining their hit points and Fortitude saves. Wisdom is important for Will saves and Intelligence determines skill points.

Weapon and Armor Proficiencies: An Awakened Champion takes to weapons and armor naturally. They are proficient in light and medium armor, as well as shields (except tower shields). Awakened Champions are also proficient in all simple and martial weapons.
Champion Eternal (Ex): Should an Awakened Champion attempt to stop adventuring, the life you make around yourself will be destroyed as adventure comes to them. For example, should they marry and settle down to raise kids they will come back to their home one day to find their family slain by raiders, monsters, or minions of a big bad.
Battle Insight (Su): A thousand life times whisper in an Awakened Champion's mind, and through force of will and personality and sometimes sheer luck they herd these whisperings to help them in battle. At 1st level an Awakened Champion may add their Charisma modifier, or twice their class level whichever is lower as an insight bonus to attack rolls. At 2nd level an Awakened Champion may add this bonus to damage as well. At 8th level this bonus expands to add to the Awakened Champion's AC as well, but only up to their Maximum Dexterity Bonus allowed by their armor. At 13th level this bonus expands to include saving throws. At 16th level this bonus expands to apply to all ability checks, untrained skill checks, and trained Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution based skill checks and you may make all skill checks untrained.
Mutterings of the Past (Su): Past lives speak in the minds of an Awakened Champion. This ability functions as bardic knowledge of a bard of his class level except that the Awakened Champion uses Charisma in place of Intelligence for this ability; in fact levels in the two stack for determining the total bonus to the check using whichever of Intelligence or Charisma is better (instead of making two checks), but only so long as the Awakened Champion is not in an anti-magic field. Like bardic knowledge this ability gains a synergy bonus from Knowledge (History).
Insight of Heroes Gone Before (Su): An Awakened Champion can call forth the voices of their past lives to advice them on how to overcome tribulations in the here and now. Beginnning at 2nd level you may, 1 plus Charisma modifier times per day, when making a skill check add your Awakened Champion level to it as an insight bonus.
Arts of Old I: Certain lives call more strongly to an Awakened Champion than others, memories of their great deeds and most cherished tactics floating into the Champion's mind. Beginning at 3rd level an Awakened Champion learns a single such technique from their predecessors. Select one ability from the following list. All spell-like abilities are drawn from the Beguiler, Cleric, Dread Necromancer, Druid, Shugenja, Sorcerer, War Mage, Wizard, or Wu Jen spell lists, Artificer infuion list, or any Domain, Corrupt spell, or Sanctified spell unless otherwise specified. If the spell has an expensive material component costing more than 5 GP per Awakened Champion level you must provide the component. If the spell has a corruption component, sacrifice component, or XP component you must still pay it. Psionic powers are chosen from the Psion power list, or any mantle or discipline power list.
Your Caster Level, Manifester Level, Initiator Level, Meldshaper Level, and/or Effective Binder Level for these abilities is equal to your Awakened Champion level. If multiple Arts of Old give you access to soulmelds you may select from the entire list for each of the soul melds gained this way. If you have multiple vestiges through Arts of Old you determine the max level of each separately and may have all of them active and bound at once. If you gain an Utterance through this ability you gain knowledge of your personal truename (it's the same for each incarnation after all) and you do not need to make Truespeak checks to use it as a spell-like ability though you still must obey the annoying Law of Sequence.
Ability to use a single 2nd level spell as a spell-like ability 1/day.
Ability to use 3 1st level spells as spell-like abilities 1/day each.
The ability to use a single 1st level spell as a spell-like ability 3/day.

Ability to summon a familiar as a sorcerer of your class level. You may share spell-like abilities and psionic powers gained as an Awakened Champion with this familiar as if they were spells. You do not suffer XP loss for the death of your familiar and may call a new familiar after only 1 week. You may only select this ability once.
1 Least Invocation usable at-will without a somatic component.
Eldritch Blast as a warlock of your Awakened Champion level.
Breath Weapon as a dragonfire adept of your Awakened Champion level.
Fate's Aegis (Su): Destined to act as a hero or a villain an Awakened Champion's fate protects them and shields them. Starting at 4th level if failing a saving throw would directly result in an Awakened Champion dying (either due to the effect being a save versus death, saving throw against an effect which deals enough damage to kill them, or a saving throw against an effect which could deal enough Constitution damage to kill them, etc) they add their Charisma modifier to the save to resist that effect. If success would still kill them the save becomes Negates instead of half or partial (similar to having Evasion or Mettle).
Skills of the Past (Ex): Few heroes grow up as such, most have apprenticeships and training in more mundane arts and skills before destiny calls them. At 4th level and every 3rd level thereafter an Awakened Champion chooses one Craft or Profesion in which they have no ranks and gain 5 ranks in it. Begining at 10th level they may select Perform or Knowledge skills. Beginning at 16th level they may select any skill. A skill which has no ranks in it aside from those granted by this ability is considered to be untrained for the purposes of Battle Insight.
Bonus Feat (Ex): Attuning themselves to one of their past lives an Awakened Champion may obtain some of that life time's talents. At 5th level, and every 5th level thereafter an Awakened Champion gains a bonus feat. Once per day, after 8 hours of rest, an Awakened Champion may change one of these feats as a full-round action.
Arts of Old II: At 6th level an Awakened Champion gains additional specialized skills of their past lives. This functions as Arts of Old I except that you may choose either from that list or from the list below.

Second Life: Innumerable lifetimes mix in your soul, all half awake and some even more so. Beginning at 6th level one such life has awakened to such an extent that you take on some of the qualities of its race. Select one race other than your own from the list below. You are considered to be a member of that race for meeting prerequisites and using magic items, and gain the abilities listed below. As a general note I am attempting to avoid all abilities based off of overt physical traits (improved senses or energy resistance are ok, natural weapons are not).
Dwarf: Stonecunning, +1 racial bonus to attack rolls against orcs and goblinoids, and a +4 dodge bonus to AC against giants.
Elf: a +2 racial bonus to Listen, Search, and Spot checks. In addition if you pass within 5-ft of a secret door you automatically may make a Search check as if you were actively looking for it.
Gnome: +2 racial bonus on saving throws against illusions, +1 racial bonus to attack rolls against kobolds and goblinoids, and a +4 dodge bonus to AC against giants.
Halfling: +2 racial bonus to Climb, Jump, and Move Silently checks, and a +2 morale bonus on saves versus fear.

Thri-Kreen: You gain Deflect Arrows as a bonus feat.
Xeph: You gain the Burst racial quality.
Destined Blow (Su): An Awakened Champion is a weapon forged by fate, even if possibly driven astray by some flaw. As such beginning at 7th level they may wrap fate around themselves as a weapon. 1/day an Awakened Champion may declare an attack a destined blow. They roll their attack as usual but it automatically hits, ignoring all miss chances, and any critical threat automatically confirms. If the attack roll would have hit without this ability the attack deals double damage. If this would force the target to make a save against massive damage they suffer a penalty to the save equal to the Awakened Champion's Charisma modifier. In addition if the enemy survives the Destined Blow they must make a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 your Awakened Champion level + your Charisma modifier) or be Shaken for 1 minute. If the target survives you gain a +2 luck bonus to attacks and damage against them for 1 minute. Beginning at 19th level you may use this ability three times per day.
Lives Uncounted (Ex): An Awakened Champion holds within them many lives and lifetimes, too many in fact to count. Beginning at 8th level an Awakened Champion gains immunity to negative levels as they simply fade into the massive sea of lives.

Second Chance: Fate protects its chosen, wrapping them in its aegis and bestowing them its shield. An Awakened Champion does not die easily. Beginning at 9th level, 1/day when an Awakened Champion would die they are instead reduced to -1 hit points and stable; if they would have been killed by Constitution damage, drain, or burn one point of it is healed (damage healed if any, drain if not, and burn only if that is the only type involved) leaving them with 1 Constitution. You appear to have died, your heart slowing, and it requires a DC 25 Heal check to determine that you are alive. If your body would have been destroyed or otherwise rendered incapable of sustaining life (decapitation) it is not destroyed or decapitated.
Warp Destiny (Su): A champion of Fate you are able to cause it to warp and weave to your will. Beginning at 11th level, 3 times per day when making an ability check, skill check, or saving throw you may choose to treat the roll as a natural 20 without rolling. Alternatively you may cause an opponents attack against you to be treated as if they had rolled a natural 1; this is a free action which may be performed outside of your turn.

Return from Beyond (Su): At the pinnacle of their power an Awakened Champion though empowered by destiny is no longer bound by it. Harnessing the power of countless past and future lives they obtain immortality of a sort. Starting at 20th level if an Awakened Champion dies they are automatically affected by True Resurrection 24 hours later, assuming their soul is free and able to return and that they did not die in a place where Supernatural abilities (namely this one) are suppressed. They are either revived at a place to which they have a deep personal attachment, beside a person to which they have such an attachment, or near an object to which they have such an attachment.
While heavily inspired by Moorcock's Eternal Champions (Hawkwind, Corum, Elric), and to a lesser extent the concept of Ta'Veren from Jordan's Wheel of Time, the class is not intended to replicate either of those.
Sometimes heroes are born. Sometimes they are born and reborn time and time again. These people, fated to be heroes, usually live out lives of great exploits never realizing that they are reborn from the soul of ancient heroes. Rarely something goes awry and one of these reborn heroes awakens to his past, the voices of a thousand lives clamoring for his attention. Some men break under the strain, a thousand lifetimes of fate too much to bear, others set forth to become greater heroes than any that came before them.
Adventures: An Awakened Champion adventures because they have no choice otherwise. Some may adventure because they feel the need to live up to the greatness of the lives they have lived before, but regardless of motivation ultimately an Awakened Champion cannot choose to retire and live happily. If they find a peaceful life within a matter of years it will be destroyed. If they marry their family will be slain, if they join a king’s court a coup will disrupt it, if they become a king their reign will be fraught with enemies which require their personal attention.
Characteristics: An Awakened Champion is an adventurer first and foremost. They are tough to kill, hanging to life tooth and nail. In addition to their resilience, Awakened Champions have a variety of skills drawn from their myriad lives.
Alignment: An Awakened Champion can be of any alignment, and in fact amongst their lives they usually count at least one of each alignment. Good Awakened Champions put their lives on the line time and time again to protect others from the brunt of monstrous assaults. Evil Awakened Champions are often those driven mad from the strain of the lives which weigh upon them. Lawful Awakened Champions are rarer than Chaotic ones, the life of adventure placed upon them often shattering any belief in law. That said Awakened Champions have a firsthand look at cosmic law and as such some bind themselves to its cause.
Religion: Awakened Champions have no definite religious leanings to or away from the worship of any specific gods.
Background: Awakened Champions come from a variety of backgrounds. There is one common point in the background of Awakened Champions, at some point they awakened to the sheer press of lives behind them and either set forth on their own or waited for such an action to be forced on them.
Races: Awakened Champions can come from any race as destiny calls on them all from time to time. If any race shows a predilection to spawn them it is humans and their tendency to spawn heroes who push beyond their limitations.
Other Classes: Awakened Champions have fulfilled enough different roles in their past lives to know that most other classes can be of use and are willing to consider people on their own merits.
Abilities: Awakened Champions rely primarily on Charisma for their special abilities. Strength determines how well they hit and how much damage they deal in melee, meanwhile Dexterity adds to their AC and initiative as well as ranged attacks. Constitution determines how well they can survive, determining their hit points and Fortitude saves. Wisdom is important for Will saves and Intelligence determines skill points.

Weapon and Armor Proficiencies: An Awakened Champion takes to weapons and armor naturally. They are proficient in light and medium armor, as well as shields (except tower shields). Awakened Champions are also proficient in all simple and martial weapons.
Champion Eternal (Ex): Should an Awakened Champion attempt to stop adventuring, the life you make around yourself will be destroyed as adventure comes to them. For example, should they marry and settle down to raise kids they will come back to their home one day to find their family slain by raiders, monsters, or minions of a big bad.
Battle Insight (Su): A thousand life times whisper in an Awakened Champion's mind, and through force of will and personality and sometimes sheer luck they herd these whisperings to help them in battle. At 1st level an Awakened Champion may add their Charisma modifier, or twice their class level whichever is lower as an insight bonus to attack rolls. At 2nd level an Awakened Champion may add this bonus to damage as well. At 8th level this bonus expands to add to the Awakened Champion's AC as well, but only up to their Maximum Dexterity Bonus allowed by their armor. At 13th level this bonus expands to include saving throws. At 16th level this bonus expands to apply to all ability checks, untrained skill checks, and trained Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution based skill checks and you may make all skill checks untrained.
Mutterings of the Past (Su): Past lives speak in the minds of an Awakened Champion. This ability functions as bardic knowledge of a bard of his class level except that the Awakened Champion uses Charisma in place of Intelligence for this ability; in fact levels in the two stack for determining the total bonus to the check using whichever of Intelligence or Charisma is better (instead of making two checks), but only so long as the Awakened Champion is not in an anti-magic field. Like bardic knowledge this ability gains a synergy bonus from Knowledge (History).
Insight of Heroes Gone Before (Su): An Awakened Champion can call forth the voices of their past lives to advice them on how to overcome tribulations in the here and now. Beginnning at 2nd level you may, 1 plus Charisma modifier times per day, when making a skill check add your Awakened Champion level to it as an insight bonus.
Arts of Old I: Certain lives call more strongly to an Awakened Champion than others, memories of their great deeds and most cherished tactics floating into the Champion's mind. Beginning at 3rd level an Awakened Champion learns a single such technique from their predecessors. Select one ability from the following list. All spell-like abilities are drawn from the Beguiler, Cleric, Dread Necromancer, Druid, Shugenja, Sorcerer, War Mage, Wizard, or Wu Jen spell lists, Artificer infuion list, or any Domain, Corrupt spell, or Sanctified spell unless otherwise specified. If the spell has an expensive material component costing more than 5 GP per Awakened Champion level you must provide the component. If the spell has a corruption component, sacrifice component, or XP component you must still pay it. Psionic powers are chosen from the Psion power list, or any mantle or discipline power list.
Your Caster Level, Manifester Level, Initiator Level, Meldshaper Level, and/or Effective Binder Level for these abilities is equal to your Awakened Champion level. If multiple Arts of Old give you access to soulmelds you may select from the entire list for each of the soul melds gained this way. If you have multiple vestiges through Arts of Old you determine the max level of each separately and may have all of them active and bound at once. If you gain an Utterance through this ability you gain knowledge of your personal truename (it's the same for each incarnation after all) and you do not need to make Truespeak checks to use it as a spell-like ability though you still must obey the annoying Law of Sequence.
Ability to use a single 2nd level spell as a spell-like ability 1/day.
Ability to use 3 1st level spells as spell-like abilities 1/day each.
The ability to use a single 1st level spell as a spell-like ability 3/day.

Ability to summon a familiar as a sorcerer of your class level. You may share spell-like abilities and psionic powers gained as an Awakened Champion with this familiar as if they were spells. You do not suffer XP loss for the death of your familiar and may call a new familiar after only 1 week. You may only select this ability once.
1 Least Invocation usable at-will without a somatic component.
Eldritch Blast as a warlock of your Awakened Champion level.
Breath Weapon as a dragonfire adept of your Awakened Champion level.
Fate's Aegis (Su): Destined to act as a hero or a villain an Awakened Champion's fate protects them and shields them. Starting at 4th level if failing a saving throw would directly result in an Awakened Champion dying (either due to the effect being a save versus death, saving throw against an effect which deals enough damage to kill them, or a saving throw against an effect which could deal enough Constitution damage to kill them, etc) they add their Charisma modifier to the save to resist that effect. If success would still kill them the save becomes Negates instead of half or partial (similar to having Evasion or Mettle).
Skills of the Past (Ex): Few heroes grow up as such, most have apprenticeships and training in more mundane arts and skills before destiny calls them. At 4th level and every 3rd level thereafter an Awakened Champion chooses one Craft or Profesion in which they have no ranks and gain 5 ranks in it. Begining at 10th level they may select Perform or Knowledge skills. Beginning at 16th level they may select any skill. A skill which has no ranks in it aside from those granted by this ability is considered to be untrained for the purposes of Battle Insight.
Bonus Feat (Ex): Attuning themselves to one of their past lives an Awakened Champion may obtain some of that life time's talents. At 5th level, and every 5th level thereafter an Awakened Champion gains a bonus feat. Once per day, after 8 hours of rest, an Awakened Champion may change one of these feats as a full-round action.
Arts of Old II: At 6th level an Awakened Champion gains additional specialized skills of their past lives. This functions as Arts of Old I except that you may choose either from that list or from the list below.
Ability to use a single 3rd level spell as a spell-like ability 1/day.

Second Life: Innumerable lifetimes mix in your soul, all half awake and some even more so. Beginning at 6th level one such life has awakened to such an extent that you take on some of the qualities of its race. Select one race other than your own from the list below. You are considered to be a member of that race for meeting prerequisites and using magic items, and gain the abilities listed below. As a general note I am attempting to avoid all abilities based off of overt physical traits (improved senses or energy resistance are ok, natural weapons are not).
Dwarf: Stonecunning, +1 racial bonus to attack rolls against orcs and goblinoids, and a +4 dodge bonus to AC against giants.
Elf: a +2 racial bonus to Listen, Search, and Spot checks. In addition if you pass within 5-ft of a secret door you automatically may make a Search check as if you were actively looking for it.
Gnome: +2 racial bonus on saving throws against illusions, +1 racial bonus to attack rolls against kobolds and goblinoids, and a +4 dodge bonus to AC against giants.
Halfling: +2 racial bonus to Climb, Jump, and Move Silently checks, and a +2 morale bonus on saves versus fear.

Thri-Kreen: You gain Deflect Arrows as a bonus feat.
Xeph: You gain the Burst racial quality.
Destined Blow (Su): An Awakened Champion is a weapon forged by fate, even if possibly driven astray by some flaw. As such beginning at 7th level they may wrap fate around themselves as a weapon. 1/day an Awakened Champion may declare an attack a destined blow. They roll their attack as usual but it automatically hits, ignoring all miss chances, and any critical threat automatically confirms. If the attack roll would have hit without this ability the attack deals double damage. If this would force the target to make a save against massive damage they suffer a penalty to the save equal to the Awakened Champion's Charisma modifier. In addition if the enemy survives the Destined Blow they must make a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 your Awakened Champion level + your Charisma modifier) or be Shaken for 1 minute. If the target survives you gain a +2 luck bonus to attacks and damage against them for 1 minute. Beginning at 19th level you may use this ability three times per day.
Lives Uncounted (Ex): An Awakened Champion holds within them many lives and lifetimes, too many in fact to count. Beginning at 8th level an Awakened Champion gains immunity to negative levels as they simply fade into the massive sea of lives.

Second Chance: Fate protects its chosen, wrapping them in its aegis and bestowing them its shield. An Awakened Champion does not die easily. Beginning at 9th level, 1/day when an Awakened Champion would die they are instead reduced to -1 hit points and stable; if they would have been killed by Constitution damage, drain, or burn one point of it is healed (damage healed if any, drain if not, and burn only if that is the only type involved) leaving them with 1 Constitution. You appear to have died, your heart slowing, and it requires a DC 25 Heal check to determine that you are alive. If your body would have been destroyed or otherwise rendered incapable of sustaining life (decapitation) it is not destroyed or decapitated.
Warp Destiny (Su): A champion of Fate you are able to cause it to warp and weave to your will. Beginning at 11th level, 3 times per day when making an ability check, skill check, or saving throw you may choose to treat the roll as a natural 20 without rolling. Alternatively you may cause an opponents attack against you to be treated as if they had rolled a natural 1; this is a free action which may be performed outside of your turn.

Blade of Destiny (Su): Fate will not be denied, and an Awakened Champion is both its agent and its manipulator.

If you do so you gain a +4 luck bonus to Attack and Damage until the end of the battle, and a +2 luck bonus to AC, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks. Finally your critical threat range doubles, this stacks with Improved Critical or Keen to result in a tripling.

Return from Beyond (Su): At the pinnacle of their power an Awakened Champion though empowered by destiny is no longer bound by it. Harnessing the power of countless past and future lives they obtain immortality of a sort. Starting at 20th level if an Awakened Champion dies they are automatically affected by True Resurrection 24 hours later, assuming their soul is free and able to return and that they did not die in a place where Supernatural abilities (namely this one) are suppressed. They are either revived at a place to which they have a deep personal attachment, beside a person to which they have such an attachment, or near an object to which they have such an attachment.
