Details

HD: D6
Proficiencies: simple weapons, one martial, no armour
Skills: Profession, Concentration, Craft, Heal, Speak language, Spellcraft, Use magic device
Skill points: 2 + Int modifier

Power points

Each night an Aeomancer’s power point pool replenishes to the number indicated on the table plus any more shown in the column add. points. If at any point the Aeomancer has more power points than this they must make a concentration check each minute against a DC equal to the additional points. If they fail then they lose the difference between their roll and the DC worth of points.




Seeds

At first level an Aeomage selects two seeds. Each level the Aeomage may swap one known seed for any other seed. By selecting a seed more than once she gets a +3 cumulative bonus to her casting check. Every three levels an Aeomage may learn a new seed.

Spells

When an Aeomage casts a spell they may expend up to the maximum points allowed without problem. If a more powerful spell is required the caster must make a special check of D20 + caster level + wisdom modifier + any bonus from the seed against 10 + half the number of power points wishing to be expended + the seeds difficulty. Each spell also has a minimum cost which represents the minimum amount required to cast the spell, this may be used in any way to enhance the spell.

Breathe the Wind

Starting at first level an Aeomage may absorb the magic from the surrounding land. By succeeding on a caster check against DC equal to half the number of points wishing to be drawn rounded up. If this check is passed then the number of power points is added to the power point reserve, if it is failed an excess of energy builds up and deals the Aeomage 1D6 points of damage/5 points.This does not function in an anti-magic field and may work more or less well in different locations.

If anyone thinks of ways to improve this please post.

I suggest you add a special ability called "Insert Clip Art."

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

Must... Kill... All... Dead Levels!

[Matthew]

This Class is desperately in need of some fluff.

[Zafuel]

Agreed. Fluff needed. The whole idea of "Breathing the Wind" could probably be expanded into something.

[Rama_Lei]

I suggest you add a special ability called "Insert Clip Art."

Oh and use dimension door as a spell like ability, only call it "Transitions"

[Katasi]

maybe this will help you out:http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/magic/spellPoints.htm

[Kenpachi]

As far as Fluff is concerned Aeomages use the magic naturally flowing through the world, rather than relying on themselves (Arcane) or a Deity (Divine). The idea of Breathe the Wind is that they are physically sucking the magic out of the world around them. This however is dangerous since they can only absorb so much power, hence the check. Since there is no magic in an antimagic field Breathe the Wind won't work there. Also some places may have more or less natural magic than others, as DM specified.

Also the energy required to shape the magic is quite high. This is why a check is needed to exceed the maximum points expended
