Tibalt'S rules and homebrew compilation

[Tibalt]

Over the years, I've developped quite a collection of homebrew material for 3.5. This thread's purpose is to compile the rules and homebrew material I use for my games. I have sure been inspired by the work of other homebrewers and I have to admit I did not always note the source of my inspiration. If you notice something that looks like it might have been inspired by your work, please let me know so I can give you the credit you rightfully deserve.

Also, feel free to comment and make suggestions.

Without further ado...

How do you rationalize this one?





- Death at -CON score HP instead of -10 HP


If common sense is the motivation behind this one, then the creature's HD should also play a factor in the number of negative HP.





- XP cost for crafting magic items is replaced by a permanent decrease in maximal hit points (see table).


This practically defines your gameworld as a place where magic items were never discovered, because if the process of reserching them involved personal physical degradation, then no one would've completed the earliest experiments in the first place.

Thanks for your time and feedback!


How do you rationalize this one?

The rationale behind this should probably be discussed on a case by case basis depending on the source of the concealment but not being able to perfectly see your target's vital areas should not imply that it's impossible to hit them; it's just harder and this difficulty is already reflected by the miss chance. Rogues don't need to have one of their class features negated so trivially.


If common sense is the motivation behind this one, then the creature's HD should also play a factor in the number of negative HP.

I can see why a creature with more HD would take longer to die, but this is actually already represented by the fact that, the more HD a creature has, the more HP it has.


This practically defines your gameworld as a place where magic items were never discovered, because if the process of reserching them involved personal physical degradation, then no one would've completed the earliest experiments in the first place.

I'll have to disagree with that. I believe we have enough example in real life of things people willingly do even though it's detrimental to their health. We have probably as much example in heroic fantasy literature of people or creatures sacrificing health for power.

Is this going to make Magic Marts less likely ? Probably. Is it a bad thing ? I think not.


What/s the primary motivation here, making skill points count for more, or less bookkeeping?

The former. I guess one could simply give more skill points instead, but some classes have almost no consolidated skills so it's likely not a buff for them and they don't really need it (I'm looking at you wizard, sorcerer, ceric...) This is not going to reduce bookkeeping as skills now just have more uses. It might actually increase the bookkeeping since some bonuses will now apply only to some uses of a skill (a +2 to bluff becoming +2 to persuasion checks made for bluffing).

For the Lucid Dreaming banning, it's probably because of poor knowledge of dream mechanics and/or me reading broken stuff about it without verifying it. All in all, it might just be laziness.

Concerning the free skill tricks. The decision is completely arbitrary. I just felt like these tricks and not the others should be things you shoud be able to do with those skills already.


You might find some useful insights in this mini project.

I've read it! I might have to go over it again, slowy, to see if I missed something blatantly abusable.

Bonus Feat, Swift adaptation


Class Skills (4 + Int)
Athletics, concentration, craft, handle animal, Knowledge (local), Ride, perform (weapon drills), profession

Weapon Aptitude (Ex): A fighter has the flexibility to adjust his weapon training. Each morning, he can spend 1 hour in weapon practice to change the designated weapon for any feat he has that applies only to a single weapon (such as Weapon Focus). He must have the newly designated weapon available during his practice session to make this change. For example, if he wishes to change the designated weapon for his Weapon Focus feat from greatsword to longsword, he must have a longsword available to practice with during hispractice session.
A fighter can adjust any number of feats in this way, and doesn't have to adjust them all in the same way. However, he can't change the weapon choices in such a way that he no longer meets the prerequisite for some other feat he possesses. For instance, if he has both Weapon Focus (longsword) and Weapon Specialization (longsword), he can't change the designated weapon for Weapon Focus unless he also changes the weapon for Weapon Specialization in the same way.

Battlefield Recon (Ex): Fighters battle against a great many foes, and learn to identify them quickly.* A Fighter of 3rd level or higher may add his class level to all Knowledge checks to identify creatures, and always counts as trained in any such knowledge check.

Adaptable feat: A fighter may choose one feat from the Fighter Bonus feats list or any skill boosting feat that he qualifies. This feat may not be used as a prerequisite for any PrCs, nor may it be used as a prerequisite for any other feat except for other Adaptable Feats.* At any time, a fighter may spend one hour practicing and meditating to change his adaptable feats.

True critical (Ex): A 15th level fighter automatically confirms all critical threats.

Swift adaptation (Ex): As a swift action, a 20th level fighter can change up to three adaptable feats. He can’t change more then three adaptable feats per day with this ability.

Specialties:
A 1st level fighter gains 1 rank in 1 specialty of his choice (Slayer, Acrobat, Warden or Champion).
At 5th level, he gains 2 ranks that he can distribute among all specialties.
At 9th, 13th and 17th level, he gains 3 ranks that he can distribute among all specialties.
At any level, a fighter can’t increase the rank of a specialty by more than 1 at a time.

Slayer:
Class skill: Add Perception

Novice: Art of War (Ex): A slayer of at least novice rank adds ½ his Fighter class level (round down) to all opposed Trip, Disarm, Bull Rush, Sunder, Grapple, Feint, and Overrun checks. Perception +2

Initiate: Slayer’s Weapon (Su): A slayer of at least initiate rank can treat up to two weapons he wields as magic weapons with a +1 enhancement bonus per 4 fighter level (or equivalent magic properties). This ability can’t add magic properties with fix costs. It stacks with any existing weapon enhancement bonus or magic property up to a maximum of +5 enhancement bonus (and +10 equivalent bonus). At any, time, a fighter may spend one hour practicing and meditating to change his weapons’ enhancement bonus and magic properties granted by this ability. Perception +4

Adept: Lunge and Strike (Ex): A slayer of at least adept rank gains an additional 5 feet of reach (and still threatens adjacent squares).
Ranged weapon mind (Ex): A slayer of at least adept rank sharpens his senses and focuses his mind on the use of a bow, crossbow or throwing weapon. When wielding a bow, crossbow or throwing weapon, a fighter threatens all squares within his normal melee reach (including the “Lunge and Strike” ability) with his weapon, allowing him to make attacks of opportunity with his ranged weapon. In addition, he does not provoke attacks of opportunity when using ranged weapon while in another creature's threatened square. Perception +6

Master: Slayer’s Senses (Su): A slayer of at least master rank is permanently treated as under the effect of a True Seeing spell. His caster level for this effect is equal to his fighter level. Perception +8

Grandmaster: Flawless technique (Ex): A slayer of grandmaster rank understands better the intricate details of the deadly dance that a battle represents. His technique is so effective that it takes him half the effort to make his martial prowess. Once per encounter, a grandmaster slayer may choose as a free action to get one more move action, standard action and swift or immediate action for 1 round (effectively granting him a total of 2 move actions, 2 standard actions and 2 swift or immediate actions this round). These actions are lost if they are not used during this round. Perception +10

Acrobat:
Class skill: add Acrobatics

Novice: Fast movement (Ex): An acrobat of at least novice rank gets a +10ft bonus to his base land speed. Acrobatics +2

Initiate:Reach the unreachable (Su): As a swift action, an acrobat of at least initiate rank may gain the benefits of a Fly, swift spell. His caster level for this effect is equal to his fighter level. He can use that ability a number of times per day equal to half his fighter level. Acrobatics +4

In addition, within 20ft around you, the darkness is so thick that any creature (except you) attempting to move through it progresses at a speed of 5 feet, regardless of its normal speed, and it takes a -2 penalty on all melee attack and melee damage rolls. It prevents effective ranged weapon attacks (except for magic rays and the like). A creature or object that falls into the darkness within 20ft around you is slowed, so that each 10 feet of darkness that it passes through reduces falling damage by 1d6. A creature can’t take a 5-foot step while in the darkness within 20ft around you.

Ghost Step (Su): Starting at 2nd level, a rogue can become invisible for 1 round. Using this ability is a swift action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity. A rogue can use this ability once every 2 rogue levels per day. At 10th level, a rogue can become ethereal when using ghost step instead of becoming invisible. At 14th level, a rogue may use this ability as an immediate action.

Studied Foe: Starting at 6th level, a rogue becomes more adept at using his sneak attack against unusual enemies. Pick one of the following categories: Undead, Constructs, Plants, Oozes, Elementals; Creatures of this type are no longer immune to the rogue's sneak attacks. A rogue picks another group of creatures to study and learn how to apply his sneak attack damage to at levels 11 and 17.

Improved Flanking (Ex): A rogue of 8th level or higher who is flanking an opponent gains a +4 bonus on attacks instead of a +2 bonus on attacks. (Other characters flanking with the rogue don't gain this increased bonus.)

Lucky (Ex): Many rogues live by the credo "Better lucky than good." Once per day, a rogue of 11th level or higher may re-roll any failed attack roll, skill check, ability check, or saving throw. The character must take the result of the re-roll, even if it's worse than the original roll.

Ghost Mind (Su): At 13th level, a rogue gains a special resistance to spells of the Divination school equal to 10 + rogue level.

Ghost Sight (Su): At 16th level and higher, a rogue can see invisible and ethereal creatures as easily as she sees material creatures and objects.

Ghost Walk (Su): A 20th-level rogue can spend two daily uses of her Ghost Step ability to enter the Ethereal Plane for an extended period of time. This ability functions as the ethereal jaunt spell with a caster level equal to the rogue’s class level.

Monk

Strongly inspired by Jiriku's Monk Remixed (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?150122-3-5-The-Monk-Remixed)
In fact, it's almost identical; some abilities are slighty delayed, others are slightly nerfed, but it's basically Jiriku's Monk.

Class Skills (6 + Int)
The monk’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Autohypnosis (wis), Acrobatics (dex), Athletics (str), Craft (Int), Concentration (con or wis), Knowledge (arcana) (Int), Knowledge (religion) (Int), Knowledge (Psionics) (int), Perception (Wis), Perform (Cha), Persuasion (Cha), Profession (Wis), Sense Motive (Wis), Stealth (Dex) and Use Rope (Dex)

Bonus feats: Add Martial Study and Martial Stance to the list of bonus feats.

Dance with the elements (ex): Where other adventurers practice rigorously with weapons or craft powerful magic items, the monk understands that devices are mere distractions. A wise master looks beyond rigid structures and perceives the dance of earth, air, fire, and water in the world. Then, she learns to dance with them. At 3rd level, a monk gains a bonus to his speed (which grants bonus to her Jump checks as normal; see the Jump skill for details), as shown on Table: The Monk. He also gains the same bonus as a competence bonus to his acrobatics, athletics and stealth checks. For example, a 3rd level monk gains +10 ft move speed and a +10 competence bonus to acrobatics, athletics and stealth checks, while an 18th level monk has a +60 ft move speed and a +60 competence bonus to acrobatics and athletics checks. A monk in armor or carrying a medium or heavy load loses these benefits.

Ki strike (Su): At 4th level, the intensity of the monk's ki focus grants her a +1 enhancement bonus to attack and damage rolls with her unarmed strikes, and her unarmed strikes gain the magic descriptor and bypass DR/magic. For each four additional monk levels she gains, her enhancement bonus to attack and damage while unarmed increases by an additional +1, and she may select and one of the following weapon qualities: adamantine, alchemical silver, cold iron, or lawful. Her unarmed strikes gain that quality and bypass damage reduction accordingly. A monk with adamantine ki strike bypasses hardness when attacking objects with her unarmed strike.

Versatile attacks (ex): A monk learns advanced martial arts that make her a more flexible attacker. While he is unarmored, he adds the better of his Strength or Dexterity bonuses to attack and damage with unarmed strikes and special monk weapons, and to all contested combat maneuvers (such as bull rush, disarm, grapple, overrun, sunder, or trip checks).

Sense the Void (ex): Blindsense

Purity of Body (Su) : At 5th level, a monk gains immunity to all diseases (even supernatural and magical diseases)

Wholeness of body (Su): At 6th level or higher, a monk can use a standard action to heal a creature's wounds with a touch, much as a paladin can. She can heal a number of hit points of damage equal to her monk level times her Wisdom bonus (minimum +1) each day, and she can spread this healing out among several uses.

Tongue of the sun and the moon (Ex): A monk of 7th level or higher can speak with any living creature, and may use her Wisdom modifier in place of her Charisma modifier on Diplomacy checks and Handle Animal checks.

Abundant Step (Su): At 10th level or higher, a monk can slip magically between spaces, as if using the spell dimension door, a number of times per day equal to her Wisdom bonus (minimum 1). Her caster level for this effect is equal to her character level.

Diamond Soul (Ex): At 13th level, a monk gains spell resistance equal to her current monk level + 10. This ability works only when the monk is conscious and she can suppress it with an immediate action.

Quivering Palm (Su): 1/day

Moment of Perfection (Su): At 19th level, the monk is nearing enlightenment, and can align herself perfectly with the universe to achieve a single moment of perfection. Once per encounter, as an immediate action, he can gain a competence bonus of ten times his monk level on an athletics, acrobatics or stealth check. If the skill check applies to an activity that extends over multiple rounds, the monk gains the benefit for the entire duration of the activity. For example, if a 19th level monk gains a +190 competence bonus to acrobatics checks in order to balance on a cloud, he remains balancing atop the cloud without need for further skill checks until he leaves the cloud or something happens that would force another skill check (such as taking damage, for example).

Perfect Self: Outsider type, DR15/Chaotic, the monk can still be brought back from the dead as if he were a member of his previous creature type, diamond soul improves to 15+monk level

Spellcasting is unchanged.

Inspire Courage (Su) : Bonus = Inspiration Bonus

Inspire Heroics (Su) : Bonus = Inspiration Bonus

Bonus Feat: Extra Music, Heroic Spell, Legendary Spell, Mythic Spell, Bardic feat or metamagic feat. Must still meet prerequisite.

Song of Power (Su): A bard must expend two bardic music use to start performing a Song of Power and one bardic music use each round he maintains it. A Song of Power requires concentration to maintain. If a creature is targetted by both versions of a Song of Power (Passion and Hatred or Serene Ecstasy and Chaotic Debauchery) at the same time, it is only affected by the the Song with the highest perform check (if both checks are equal, the creature is unaffected by both effects).

Song of Power (Passion): A bard with 17 or more ranks in a perform skill can use his music or poetics to cause one or more creatures to fall irrationnably in love with him. The creatures must be within 90 feet, able to see and hear the bard and able to pay attention to him. The bard must also be able to see the creatures. For every three levels a bard attains beyond 14th, he can target one additional creature with a single use of this ability. To use this ability, a bard makes a perform check. His check result is the DC for the affected creatures' Will save against the effect. The creatures recieve a +4 bonus on their Will save if they are of a different type then the bard. If a creature's saving throw succeeds, the bard cannot attempt to use this song against this creature again for 24 hours. If its saving throw fails, the creature falls deeply in love with the bard and will do anything necessary to protect him. This usually means standing between him and a threat and using the aid another action to provide him a +2 bonus to armor class. If the bard is hurt or affected by a debilitating condition and the creature can heal the bard or cure the debilitating condition, it will do so, even if it means using a spell completion or spell trigger item. If the bard is not hurt, under a debilitating condition or under any threat, the target will act in a generally helpful manner (at the DM's discretion). Obvious threat does not break the effect, but if it's from the bard, it allows for another saving throw against the same DC. Song of Power (Passion) is an enchantment (compulsion), mind-affecting ability.

Song of Power (Hatred): A bard with 17 or more ranks in a perform skill can use his music or poetics to cause one or more creatures to feel a profound hatred for the closest creature whose presence he is aware of. The creatures must be within 90 feet of the bard and be able to see and hear him. The bard must also be able to see the creatures. For every three levels a bard attains beyond 14th, he can target one additional creature with a single use of this ability. To use this ability, a bard makes a perform check. His check result is the DC for the affected creatures' Will save against the effect. If a creature's saving throw succeeds, the bard cannot attempt to use this song against this creature again for 24 hours. If its saving throw fails, the creature starts feeling a murderous hatred for the closest creature whose presence he is aware of. This usually means attacking it or using a spell or ability against it. Its target doesn't change as long as it is not dead or destroyed. If the creature is not aware of the presence of its target anymore (or if it is killed or destroyed), it starts hating the next closest creature. Song of Power (Hatred) is an enchantment (compulsion), mind-affecting ability.

Song of Power (Chaotic Debauchery): A bard with 23 or more ranks in a perform skill can use his music or poetics to revel in chaos. Each round, he can target a creature with a random effect (determined by rolling 1d20). The creature must be within 90 feet of the bard and be able to see and hear him. The bard must also be able to see the creature. To use this ability, a bard makes a perform check. His check result is the DC for the affected creature's save against the effect (if any).

Effect


1
Ovation
Roll again on this table (ignore any result of 1 or 20). It affects each creature within 90 feet of the bard.

4 - 5
Bursting Solo
The target takes 10d6 sonic damage and 10d6 fire damage and is binded and deafened as long as the bard maintains this use of the Song of Power. A successful fortitude save halves the damage and negates the blinding and deafening effect.


6 - 7
Grueling Jig
The target is exhausted as long as the bard maintains this use of the Song of Power (no save).


8 - 9
Sickening Performance
The target takes 2d6 CON damage and is nauseated for 1 round per 4 CON damage taken (rounded up). A successful fortitude save negates the nausea and halves the CON damage.


10 - 11
Dreaful Hymn
The target is panicked as long as the bard maintains this use ot the Song of Power. A successful will save negates this effect.


12 - 13
Stupefying Beat
The target takes 2d6 DEX damage and is stunned for 1 round per 4 DEX damage taken (rounded up). A successful refex saves negates the stunning effect and halves the DEX damage.



14 - 15
Entwinning Notes
The target is entangled for as long as the bard maintains this use of the Song of Power (No save).


16 - 17
Misty Waltz
The target is affected by the effect of a gaseous form spell as long as the bard maintains this use of the Song of Power. A successful fortitude save negates this effect.


18 - 19
Knocking Rift
The target takes non-lethal damages equal to 4 times the result of the perform check (No save).


20
Encore
Roll twice again on this table (ignore any result of 1 or 20). The creature is targetted by both effects.




Song of Power (Serene Ecstasy): A bard with 23 or more ranks in a perform skill can use his music or poetics to fill his allies with a wonderful feeling of peacefulness. As long the bard maintains the Serene Ecstasy, all his allies within 90 feet (including himself) have Spell Resistance 30, fast healing (5) and take only half damage from all sources. In addition, Serene Ecstasy blocks any attempt to possess the affected creatures or to exercise mental control over the creatures (including enchantment (charm) effects and enchantment (compulsion) effects that grant the caster ongoing control over the subjects). The protection does not prevent such effects from targeting the protected creatures, but it suppresses the effect as long as the bard maintains the Serene Ecstasy.

Class Skills (2 + Int)
The cleric’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Concentration (Con or Wis), Craft (Int), Heal (Wis), Knowledge (arcana) (Int), Knowledge (history) (Int), Knowledge (religion) (Int), Knowledge (the planes) (Int), Persuasion (Cha), Profession (Wis), and Spellcraft (Int).

Not proficient with heavy armors.

Divine Intervention pool (Su): A cleric of at least 5th level gets a pool of Divine Intervention Points depending on his level. These points fuel his Divine Beacon ability and the pool is refilled each day at the same time he regains his daily allotment of spells.

Divine Beacon (Su): A cleric of at east 5th level can use a move action to designate a creature on the same plane, within 30 feet (or himself) as a Divine Beacon. The target can try to resist this effect with a Will Save (DC = 10 + 1/2 Cleric Level + cleric's CHA modifier) and gets a -2 penalty on this save for each component of its alignment in common with the cleric and a -4 penalty if he worships the same deity as the cleric. At any moment, if the creature stops being within 30 feet on the same plane as the cleric, it stops being a Divine Beacon. The maximum number of Divine Beacon that a cleric can have at the same time is determined by his level (up to a maximum of 4 at level 20). While a creature is designated as a Divine Beacon, it gets a sacred (if the cleric channels positive energy) or profane (if the cleric channels negative energy) bonus or penalty to one of his ability score equal to 2 times the number of points remaining in the cleric's Divine Intervention Pool. The cleric determines the bonus or penalty and the affected ability score for each Divine Beacon. In addition, the cleric can spend 1 divine intervention point as a free action as he casts a touch spell to have it affect any or all the Divine Beacons instead.


Shaman

Spells

Beginning at 4th level, a paladin gains the ability to cast a small number of divine spells, which are drawn from the paladin spell list. A paladin must choose and prepare her spells in advance.

To prepare or cast a spell, a paladin must have a Charisma score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a paladin’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the paladin’s charisma modifier.

Like other spellcasters, a paladin can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. Her base daily spell allotment is given on Table: The Paladin. In addition, she receives bonus spells per day if she has a high Charisma score. When Table: The Paladin indicates that the paladin gets 0 spells per day of a given spell level, she gains only the bonus spells she would be entitled to based on her Charisma score for that spell level

A paladin prepares and casts spells the way a cleric does, though she cannot lose a prepared spell to spontaneously cast a cure spell in its place. A paladin may prepare and cast any spell on the paladin spell list, provided that she can cast spells of that level, but she must choose which spells to prepare during her daily meditation.

Through 3rd level, a paladin has no caster level. At 4th level and higher, her caster level is equal to her paladin level.

Domain: A 4th level paladin gets a domain power and a domain spell slot (like the cleric).

Mettle (Ex): At 6th level and higher, a paladin can resist magical and unusual attacks with great willpower or fortitude. If he makes a successful Will or Fortitude save against an attack that normally would have a lesser effect on a successful save (such as any spell with a saving throw entry of Will half or Fortitude partial), he instead completely negates the effect. An unconscious or sleeping paladin does not gain the benefit of mettle.

Battle Blessing (Ex): A Paladin can cast most of her paladin spells faster than normal. If the spell normally requires a standard action, she can cast it as a swift action. If it normally requires a full round to cast, she can cast it as a standard action. Spells with longer or shorter casting times are not affected.

Zeal (Sp): At 12th level, as a standard action, a paladin may expend 1 use of his remove disease ability to produce an effect similar to the Zealot Pact Spell with a caster level equal to his paladin level. Once this ability is used, the subject knows which creatures within 60 feet are evil. The other effects remain dormant until the subject successfully hits an evil creature. The subject's subsequent attacks against evil creatures gain a +4 bonus and deal double damage. Once this ability is active, the subject must attack evil foes every round if able to do so, or the effect ends.

Urgent benediction (Ex): You may use a swift action to activate divine feats that normally require a move or standard action to activate. At 16th level, you may use a free action to activate divine feats that normally require a swift or immediate action to activate (before the effect of Urgent Benediction). If you do so, you can’t activate this divine feat again until your next turn.

Divine indulgence (Ex): Divine feats (and Divine Wings) cost one less turn undead (minimum 0) to activate.

Extended benediction (Ex): Divine feats with a duration expressed in rounds are now expressed in minutes. Subsequent activation of the same divine feat on an ally or yourself replaces the previous effect.

Persistent benediction (Ex): Divine feats (and Divine Wings) with a duration expressed in minutes (before the effect of extended benediction) now last 24 hours. Subsequent activation of the same divine feat on an ally or yourself replaces the previous effect.

Extinguish Evil (Sp): At 18th level, as a standard action, a paladin may expend 2 uses of his remove disease ability to produce an effect similar to the Mage's Disjunction Spell with a caster level equal to his paladin level except that it only affects magical effects currently affecting evil creatures and magic items in evil creatures' possession.

Back from the dead (Sp): At 20th level, as a standard action, a paladin may expend 3 uses of his remove disease ability to produce an effect similar to the True Resurrection Spell with a caster level equal to his paladin level. If the paladin dies and he has at least 3 uses of his remove disease ability available, Back from the dead triggers automatically, targetting the paladin.

ACF: 5th level: Divine Wings (replaces special mount). As a swift action, expend 1 turn undead to get Fly at base land speed, good manoeuvrability for 1 minute

Ranger

The ranger’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Athletics (Str), Concentration (Con or Wis), Craft (Int), Handle Animal (Cha), Heal (Wis), Knowledge (dungeoneering) (Int), Knowledge (geography) (Int), Knowledge (nature) (Int), Perception (Wis), Profession (Wis), Ride (Dex), stealth (Dex), Survival (Wis), Use Rope (Dex) and Spellcraft (Int).

Spells

Beginning at 1st level, a ranger gains the ability to cast a small number of divine spells, which are drawn from the ranger spell list. A ranger must choose and prepare his spells in advance (see below).

To prepare or cast a spell, a ranger must have a Wisdom score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a ranger’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the ranger’s Wisdom modifier.

Like other spellcasters, a ranger can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. His base daily spell allotment is given on Table: The Ranger. In addition, he receives bonus spells per day if he has a high Wisdom score. When Table: The Ranger indicates that the ranger gets 0 spells per day of a given spell level, he gains only the bonus spells he would be entitled to based on his Wisdom score for that spell level. The ranger does not have access to any domain spells or granted powers, as a cleric does.

A ranger prepares and casts spells the way a cleric does, though he cannot lose a prepared spell to cast a cure spell in its place. A ranger may prepare and cast any spell on the ranger spell list, provided that he can cast spells of that level, but he must choose which spells to prepare during his daily meditation.

His caster level is equal to his ranger level.

Artificer

Class skills (4+Int)
Appraise (Int), Concentration (Wis or Con), Craft (Int), Disable Device (Dex or Int), Knowledge (Arcana) (Int), Knowledge (architecture and engineering) (Int), Knowledge (the planes) (Int), Perception (Wis), Profession (Wis), Spellcraft (Int) and Use Magic Device (Cha).

Craft Reserve: Each time the artificer gains a new level he receives a pool of 1 hp he can spend instead of actual hp when crafting magic items. Leftover points from the previous level carry over.

[Morphic tide]

Make the Wizard, Sorcerer and Cleric share the spells per day table with the one you gave Ranger, so that their Epic progressions can hit 8ths or 9ths. Doing so would bring them in line with the balance most of the magic system was built for, where casters were heavily behind on levels.

As is, they only really notice any difference after level 10.

I'm glad someone brought this up. I don't want anyone hitting 7th - 9th level spells except through the feats for that, but I have a hard time to figure out an appropriate progression for Spells Known / Spells per day. What I did so far feels very random and, as you noticed, there is very little incentive for full casters to keep going after they hit 6th level spells.

I want to keep the normal spell progression until they hit max level spells (6th).
I also want to keep the same "feel" for each spell progression (like sorcerers having fewers spells known but more spells per day, etc.). I'm open to suggestions for an algorithm for spells known/spells per day progression, especially for cleric/druid/sorcerer/wizard, but also for the ranger whose 20th level is identical to 19th.

What means for hitting 7th - 9th level spells did you have in mind... and who's gonna be eligible to gain access to those SLs?

New feats (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showsinglepost.php?p=21680377&postcount=4)

So it's a very limited access to those spell levels (only 1 spell per feat that can be casted at most twice a day pre-epic) and anyone who gets access to 6th level spells will be eligible to some extent.

[Zale]

- Crafting rules = Craft Points (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/buildingCharacters/craftPoints.htm)
- XP cost for crafting magic items is replaced by a permanent decrease in maximal hit points (see table).

Hmm. Complete sincerity here: Why not just ban crafting completely and just have magical items only showing up from the creations of NPCs?

You'll effectively have the same thing without the trap option of someone actually trying to make a magical item and suffering from it.

Especially if they're consumable items.

I found that elevated prices and crafting failure chances work fine for me.

[Tibalt]

First of all: Fixed the spells per day tables for cleric/druid/sorcerer (and soon to be posted, wizard). There is still a strong incentive to multiclass passed 11 when they hit 6th level spell, but spells per day progress more than before.

Actually, I don't want to ban it. Theses rules didn't seem too harsh for me, but it's true I never actually had dedicated crafters among my players (with or without the HP rule). In your opinion, would it be more worth it if the cost was per total price and not per items? (So crafting 3 items with a market price of 6 000gp for a total of 18000gp would cost 4 hit points instead of 4 hit points per items. Crafting a 4th item worth 10 000gp would bring it over the 20 000gp threshold and the crafter would have to pay another 4 hit points for a total of 8hp until he has crafted for a total of 80 000gp and so on).

Also, I'd have the Legendary Artisan feat go like this:

1 - 1000 = 0HP, not counted in the total.
1001 - 5000 = 1hp
5001 - 20000 = 3hp
20001 - 80000 = 6hp
800001 - 120000 = 12hp
120001+ = 24hp

[Morphic tide]

In your opinion, would it be more worth it if the cost was per total price and not per items?

If you did that, you'd be best off setting it up as an equation with an example table going up to two million GP, as that's enough for a decently equipped three-player party at level 20. I find that linked exponents work well for this kind of math. Like, you have the GP value on one exponent and the HP reduction on another, smaller, exponent.

The biggest thing I can see happening from this is that crafters are going to pump Con like no tomorrow to get the most out of their crafting. I'd suggest having a way to remove the reduction involving high level spells that need serious investment to access, like 7th or 8th level healing spells, or stuff with costly material components like Resurrection.

Not sure what you mean there. Like having no hp cost for items with those spells ?

Why ban PRC Paladin and Bard without giving the same considerations for PRC Ranger? It'd help if you gave reasons why they are banned next to the name, but as-is, the only thing the PRC Bard and Paladin are guilty of is invalidating the original version for dipping, and even then only for specific builds. Mounted combat is not cheap as a Cleric, so PRC Paladin works best for a highly sub-optimal build because otherwise it eats a feat and skill ranks for entry requirements that won't be useful. Illithid Savant is only as broken as the features available to it, which is fairly easy to control, and the cheese of unlimited features requires a large group of other Illithid Savants and a permissive DM. Thrallherd is only as broken as a player's ability to manage the masses of Thralls, and the DM's willingness to let them use those Thralls that effectively.

[Morphic tide]

No, having specific high-level spells be able to restore the HP cost. Like (True) Resurrection. It makes recovering from the damage possible, but expensive.

[Bohandas]

If common sense is the motivation behind this one, then the creature's HD should also play a factor in the number of negative HP.

Not necessarily, since due to the odd design of D20 HD as often as not represent a lot of stuff entirely unrelated to durability

[Tibalt]

No, having specific high-level spells be able to restore the HP cost. Like (True) Resurrection. It makes recovering from the damage possible, but expensive.

Looks like a good idea, but wouldn't that be a little contradictory ? (Spend HP to spare gold on items and then spend gold to get HP back)

I simply forgot the Prestige Ranger. I don't want to include base and prestige versions of the same classes (as suggested in the SRD, for what it's worth...). I'm not sure that the fact that a precise concept is not viable with a particular class is necessarily a good reason to include them. There are other options.

Concerning Thrallherd/leadership/etc, it's more or less a matter of having only 1 character per player and a party of adventurer, not an army.

Yes, that's the sort of thing I'm thinking of. For the "fixing", I'm thinking something like being able to use a 7th or 8th level spell slot and diamonds to restore the cost thing by 50-60% of the value of the diamonds. My thinking is to make it so that you end up paying the same GP value for items once you get that high level, but you have the advantage of choosing the item yourself without much available DM interference.

How about 'Dim Mak' or 'Pins & Needles'?

This is, indeed, very relevant. Fixed the table for crafting and modified Limited Wish, Greater Restoration, True Resurrection, bend reality and matter manipulation so they can restore the HP spent for crafting magic items by sacrificing gp and gems. I also waived the XP cost of a few spells.

Pressure points of course! Though, I'll go with something more generic such as "pressure points technique". Thanks!

Shadowcaster

Mouseferatu's fix


1) Charisma determines the DC to save against your mysteries. Intelligence determines the highest level mystery you can cast.

2) Grant bonus mysteries per day based on Charisma. These would work just like bonus spells. For instance, if your Cha is 14, you can cast one extra mystery of 1st-level equivalent and one of 2nd-level equivalent per day. (Note that each mystery does give an equivalent level, even though you don't learn them by level.)

3) Eliminate the rule that says you have to take mysteries in a given Path in order. If you want to jump around, so as to broaden your versatility, you can.

4) Within a category—Apprentice, Initiate, Master—you must have at least two mysteries of any given level before you can take any mysteries of the next higher level. For instance, you must have two 1st-level mysteries before you can take any 2nds, and at least two 2nds before you can take any 3rds.

5) Eliminate the rule that says you get a bonus feat equal to half the number of paths you have access to. Instead, you get a bonus feat equal to the total number of Paths you complete. Thus, while you are no longer required to take the entirety of a given Path, there's still encouragement to do so.

6) You may “swap out” mysteries, just as a sorcerer does spells known. If you “un-complete” a Path in this way, however, you lose access to the bonus feat you gained from completing that Path. (You can regain access by re-completing the Path, completing a different Path and choosing that feat as your new bonus, or selecting that feat as a normal feat at your next opportunity.)

7) Once your Apprentice Mysteries become supernatural abilities, change the save DC from 10 + equivalent spell level + Cha to 10 + 1/2 caster level + Cha. This makes them useful even against high-HD opponents, and follows the pattern for other supernatural abilities.

Still broken as hell. Keep in mind that they are still strictly better at casting than a Bard, Paladin, Druid and Cleric combined. Their big problem is that they are a Divine Wizard without a spell list restriction, not that they are a full caster. Seriously, they are exactly as broken in your fix as they are without it because you lowered all the competition just as much as them.

Seriously, they are exactly as broken in your fix as they are without it because you lowered all the competition just as much as them.

Not that it really changes anything in regard of the problem you highlighted, but I decided to weaken its chassis a little bit.

Even though they might be more versatile than other casters, this advantage is slightly mitigated by the fact that there is no spell list restriction for other casters either for 7th - 9th level spells (even if there's a feat tax).

Now between better chassis, turning pools, domain powers, wild shape, spontaneous casting and animal companion, there are a lot of reasons one would want to play a druid or a cleric over an archivist. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how the archivist is that broken compared to other full casters.

It's like having the choice between the sweetest dessert in the world, or the sweetest dessert in the world with one more spoonful of sugar. Either way, you get pretty much the same thing.

TL;DR: Tier 1 classes give you Type 2 diabetes.

Magic>no Magic. Near universal spell access is better than all those things, if it starts to get out of hand. Animal companion? Summon Monster largely replaces it, and it's a liability to have a familiar or animal companion because replacing them is painful. Turning pools? Largely only useful for Divine Metamagic, otherwise they are too situational and replaced by spells. Better chassis? Need I remind you that Wizard is in the top three broken classes? Wild Shape? Replaced, and bettered, by the Polymorph spells.

Everything you mentioned is replaceable by spells. All of it, no exceptions. That's why Archivist is broken. Because spells already invalidate all the non-spell tricks that the other classes have.

As for your Psion fix, I'd go with the Psychic Warrior PP progression, or keep the normal Psion progression. 126 PP is utterly worthless at level 20 unless you are a cheesemonger. If you want to nerf the PP, you can base it on a purchase of Psionic Talent every level, which falls behind the actual Psion PP progression quite a bit.

I mean, it's not like reducing the maximum power level known does much, because many powers are designed to work from 1-20 because of augmentations, and reducing the maximum PP is just going to get Strongheart Vest Body Fuel spammed to work around it with continuous PP regeneration. Bestow Power loop is also available.

Seriously, nerfing Psion and Wilder is hard because the inherent nature of the classes makes it hard. Nerfing the maximum power level does nothing of note to several Psion characters because they rely on augmenting low level powers anyway. Nerfing maximum PP doesn't do anything of note in the sort of games that Psions are broken in because they are going to be packing endless PP regeneration from Incarnum feats anyway. Screwing with the chassis doesn't hurt them at all because of course the chassis is meaningless for a t2 or t1 class.

You seem not to understand that it's the spells themselves that are broken with the t1 and t2 classes. Low-level spells like Color Spray and other save-or-suck spells largely invalidate any attempt at balance by messing with the chassis. A half-caster Cleric with nothing else changed is still immensely broken. DMM makes a lot of the slot nerf meaningless, the fact that they still have access to their entire spell list is still making them broken, they can still outdo the melee fighters in melee. What makes Druids so broken is quite specifically the class features. Wildshape is already almost invalidating Fighters, as is Animal Companion, and then Natural Spell lets the Druid keep their broken casting while they are in full "Fighter replacement" mode.

[Tibalt]

Wild Shape? Replaced, and bettered, by the Polymorph spells.

Considering that polymorph is capped at 10HD at level 20 and polymorph any object has a 2 feats tax (and competes for the 8th level spell slot). Not so sure...


Animal companion? Summon Monster largely replaces it, and it's a liability to have a familiar or animal companion because replacing them is painful.

Summon monster is more about utility. Also, summon monster is OK at the level you get it, but remember it's capped at summon monster VI (unless you spend feats for higher versions, in which case you're taking summon monster IX instead of, say, Time Stop). Also, "Casting Time: 1 round" vs animal companion being there already...

I don't want to turn this into a "are spells better than everything else" debate, we're on the same side on this. I'm just saying each individual T1 spell lists are already incredibly powerful and adding more is just a drop in the ocean. Of course you're gonna be much more versatile if you have access to all divine spell lists instead of just one. Theres also the fact that availability of those spell lists for the archivist can be very DM-dependent.


As for your Psion fix, I'd go with the Psychic Warrior PP progression, or keep the normal Psion progression. 126 PP is utterly worthless at level 20

Uh ? Yes, that's why he gets 126 PP at level 12, not 20. I did not finish filling the table yet, so maybe that's why you were mistaken. I'm going to fill it so he gets about the same PP as a sorcerer's #spells*spell level of the same level.


I mean, it's not like reducing the maximum power level known does much, because many powers are designed to work from 1-20 because of augmentations, and reducing the maximum PP is just going to get Strongheart Vest Body Fuel spammed to work around it with continuous PP regeneration. Bestow Power loop is also available.

Even if some powers are augmentable, it still limits access so some higher level effects; but I might actually cap the the max pp you can spend on a power at the equivalent of a 6th level power. Also reminds me I wanted to put Bestow Power on the ban list and also modify Body Fuel so you can't mitigate the ability damage (or straight out ban it if I don't find an elegant way to modify it). Any other PP regeneration methods I should know of ?


You seem not to understand that it's the spells themselves that are broken with the t1 and t2 classes. Low-level spells like Color Spray and other save-or-suck spells largely invalidate any attempt at balance by messing with the chassis.

While I totally agree that Color Spray and other save-or-suck spells are powerful effects, I believe that if it's enough to break your campaign, the probem is probably poor campaign/encounters design. I also think that I got rid of a lot of broken stuff in the spells/powers section but if you notice something missing, I'll be glad to update it.

DMM makes a lot of the slot nerf meaningless, the fact that they still have access to their entire spell list is still making them broken, they can still outdo the melee fighters in melee. What makes Druids so broken is quite specifically the class features. Wildshape is already almost invalidating Fighters, as is Animal Companion, and then Natural Spell lets the Druid keep their broken casting while they are in full "Fighter replacement" mode.

One of the big advantage of DMM is being able to add metamagic to stuff you normally could not (namely, high level spells). This is party mitigated by the lack of high level spells to add metamagic to. I'm not really worried about clerics wasting their spell slots to emulate a fighter. I'm quite certain that a dedicated fighter is gonna be better at his own job than an animal companion (not talking about the core fighter here). Also, Natural Spell now being a +1 metamagic, we're not really talking about full casting when druid's are in wildshape.

It is probably of interest to note that I'm not trying to put everything at the same tier.

Thanks for the feedback, keep it coming!

Actually, the Bestow Power loop requires a feat that you should ban on principle: Midnight Augmentation. It's a metapsionics reducer that keys off of Essentia invested. So instead of banning Bestow Power, which is the only way for Manifesters to transfer power between each other, ban the feat that makes it result in infinite PP.

As for Body Fuel, I'd stick a cooldown on it rather than make it irresistible, or make a general rule that Ability Burn is not Ability Damage. Because the Body Fuel trick relies on Strongheart Vest's ability damage resistance.

In general, removing indefinite workday access while also stripping much of the capacity to function at high levels is still not nearly enough to stop the t1 classes. They are t1 because they are nearly impossible to nerf properly. Even through everything you've done, you still havn't solved the problem of casters being stronger because things like Color Spray are still usable and still game screwing at level 20. You just don't see it often because casters rarely run that low on spells.

You are mistaken in thinking that the full caster status is what makes them broken. It's having the spells they do that makes them broken. First level save-or-suck never stops working entirely, so your nerfs just lead to save-or-suck being dominant. Leading to enemies who can never do anything significant.

There's literally nothing short of using a whitelist, a list of allowed spells, that can fix casters. You have to ban so many spells that you fundamentally have to start over from scratch and make a list of allowed spells, rather than disallowed ones. Because optimizers dig around limits. They dig for the most out of the way trick possible to get power. Pun Pun was made from one single badly written ability in a rulebook nobody thought to optimize from. The Omnicifer, wielder of infinite skill checks, was made from a fringe interaction of several things that were typically seen as garbage. High TO is covered in mixing stuff nobody ever saw a reason to mix before, and it thrives on restraints.

Well neither of them seems broken without the other so it's more a matter of which one seems the most interesting to keep. Other casters can't transfer spells per day either. I'm not convinced on which one to get rid of yet.


As for Body Fuel, I'd stick a cooldown on it rather than make it irresistible, or make a general rule that Ability Burn is not Ability Damage. Because the Body Fuel trick relies on Strongheart Vest's ability damage resistance.

I probably prefer the cooldown option as the latter doesn't fix the problem with, say, Naberius.


Even through everything you've done, you still havn't solved the problem of casters being stronger because things like Color Spray are still usable and still game screwing at level 20. You just don't see it often because casters rarely run that low on spells.

I like Color Spray too, but maybe we're going a bit overboard with this. "Game screwing at level 20" ? I'm not so sure.

Let's take a gnome Wizard 20 with Shadow weave magic, spell focus, greater spell focus, 34 int (18 +5 tome + 6 item + 5 levels). Color Spray's DC is 27 (10 + 1 (spell level) + 12 (int) + 1 (gnome) + 1 (spell focus) + 1 (greater spell focus) + 1 shadow weave magic)

Now let' take a look at the SRD:

CR20:
Tarrasque: Immuned to it (Carapace)
Wyrm Black dragon: +23 will without items or buffs (85% chance to resist)
Ancient Brass dragon: +21 will without items or buffs (75% chance to resist)
Very old Bronze dragon: +23 will without items or buffs (85% chance to resist)
Very old copper dragon: +21 will without items or buffs (75% chance to resist)
Old Red Dragon: +21 will without items or buffs (75% chance to resist)
Old silver dragon: +21 will without items or buffs (75% chance to resist)
Balor: +19 will (65% chance to resist, 85% with unholy aura)
Pit Fiend: +21 will (75% chance to resist, 95% with unholy aura)

At that level, everyone's running around with mind blank and having saves high enough requires little to no efforts. Not exactly game breaking.


You are mistaken in thinking that the full caster status is what makes them broken. It's having the spells they do that makes them broken. First level save-or-suck never stops working entirely, so your nerfs just lead to save-or-suck being dominant. Leading to enemies who can never do anything significant.

That's a sophism. The premise that "save-or-suck" systematically leads to enemies being unable to do anything significant is false. The easiest counter-example being a mirror fight.


High TO is covered in mixing stuff nobody ever saw a reason to mix before, and it thrives on restraints.

Gotta say I'm not against the idea to beget new TO tricks through restraints.

Slow (Ex): Any creature hit by a scout with this skirmish ability is treated as targeted by a slow spell with a caster level equal to the scout's class level. The DC for this effect is 13 + scout's dex mod.

Bullrush (Ex): When a scout with this skirmish ability hits a creature, he makes a dexterity check opposed by the creatures strength check. The creature adds a +4 bonus for each size category larger than Medium or a -4 penalty for each size category smaller than Medium. The creature gets a +4 bonus if he has more than two legs or is otherwise exceptionally stable. If the scout beats the creature’s Strength check result, he pushes it back 5 feet plus an additional 5 feet for each 5 points by which his check result is greater than the creature’s check result. (Note: The creature provokes attacks of opportunity if he is moved (except from the scout)). The scout can't choose to move with the target like in a normal bullrush attempt. The scout is considered medium size and can't push back creatures of huge size or larger.

Wounding (Ex): As the wounding magic weapon property.

Increase effective size: The scout can affect a creature 2 size categories larger with the bullrush skirmish ability and gains a +8 bonus to his dexterity check.

Combat Trapping (Ex): As Combat Trapsmith's ability. At 6th level, you can learn two traps from the list below, provided you meet the prerequisites. At each even level thereafter, you add one additional trap to your repertoire, to a maximum of nine traps known. Whenever you attain a new level in this class, you can choose to replace any one previously learned trap with a new trap. The save DC for your traps is 10 + 1/2 scout level + your Int modifier.

Improvised Materials: As Combat Trapsmith's ability.

Expert Trapsetter: As Combat Trapsmith's ability.

Throw Traps: At 12th level, you can throw a trap instead of setting it in an adjacent square. You must succeed in a ranged attack roll against AC 5 and you take a -2 penalty to this roll for each square between you and the square you want to set the trap in. If you fail your attack roll, the trap has no effect.

Master Trapsetter: At 13th level, you can set a combat trap as a move action without provoking attacks of opportunity.

Grandmaster Trapsetter: At 16th level, you can set a combat trap as a swift action without provoking attacks of opportunity.

Reactive Trapsetting: At 17th level, you can choose to set a combat trap instead of making an attack of opportunity when a creature moves out of a square you threaten. You must set this trap in a square adjacent to the one the creature is leaving.

Double Trapsetting: At 20th level, you can set two traps at the same time. You can set them in different squares and make seperate ranged attack rolls for each if you throw them.

The number of secondary target is decided at the moment the trap is set.

ThornSprouter: A wall of thorny brush (as Wall of Thorns spell, except Up to eight 5-ft cubes) sprouts from the trapped square. The exact configuration of the wall is decided at the moment the trap is set.

Negater: An invisible barrier emanates (10-ft radius) from the trapped square and suppresses any spell or magical effect used within, brought into, or cast into the area, but does not dispel it (as an Antimagic Field). This effect lasts 5 rounds, then the trap stops working.

Dragon Shaman and Knight seem solid.

AFAICT, your Scout offers no noticeable overall advantage over a decently built Swift Hunter (faster gain of features at the expense of BAB cancel out each other. No fav. enemy/terrain is a net loss).
For starters, give it high Fortitude and lose Battle Fortitude in favor of something more useful.

[Tibalt]

Hmmmm indeed.

Woud having available skirmish abilities based on the actual scout level be a strong enough incentive ?

Not sure what you mean by that.

[Tibalt]

Not sure what you mean by that.

Each odd level, the scout chooses how the skirmish improves based on the skirmish abilities table.

A scout 3/Ranger 17 with swift hunter could still only choose: +1d6 damage or +1AC or Studied Foe or +Dex dmg.

Shugenja

Class skills (4+int)
The Shugenja's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Concentration (Con or Wis), Craft (Int), Heal (Wis), Knowledge (arcana) (Int), Persuasion (Cha), Profession (Wis), Spellcraft (Int).

Shugenja orders:

At 1st level, a Shugenja chooses an order (regardless of his favored elemental). He receives a bonus spell known of each spell level when he becomes able to cast spells of that level. In addition, he gets a special ability at 2nd (Novice), 8th (Initiate), 14th (Elder) and 20th (Transcendent) based on his order.


1: Identify
2: Augury
3: Divination
4: Blistering Radiance

Novice of the All-Seeing Eye: Uncanny Dodge (Ex)

Initiate of the All-Seeing Eye: Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex)

Elder of the All-Seeing Eye: Immune to Surprise (Ex)

Transcendent of the All-Seeing Eye: Permanent Choose Destiny (Ex): As the spell


1: Nimbus of Light
2: Shatter
3: Bestow Curse
4: Flame Strike
5: Slay Living
6: Fire Spiders

Novice of the Consuming Flame: Fire Resistance (5)

Initiate of the Consuming Flame: Mortuary Incineration (Su): As a standard action, you can turn a dead creature's corpse to dust. If you do so, you gain 2 temporary hit points per Shugenja level, your fire resistance is doubled and the save DC of your spells (and immolation ability) is increased by 2. This effect lasts 1 round per Shugenja level and subsequent use of this ability while it's still in effect replaces the previous use (you can never have more than 2 temporary hit points per Shugenja level, +2 DC and double base fire resistance with this ability). Fire Resistance (10)

Elder of the Consuming Flame: Soulfire (Ex): Immunity to all death spells, magical death effects, and energy drain, and any negative energy effects (such as from chill touch or inflict spells).
Fire Resistance (15)

Transcendent of the Consuming Flame: Immolation (Su): Once per day, as a standard action, you can immolate yourself. This produces a cloud of flame in a up to 20 feet radius spread (minimum 5 feet). Each creature in the area takes 2d6 damage per Shugenja level (Reflex half). The DC is 10+1/2 shugenja level+CHA. Half of this damage is fire; the rest results directly from divine power and is therefore not subject to fire resistance. This action kills you. At the end of the round, you are restored to life (as per the True Resurrection Spell) within 30 feet of the place you immolated yourself. This ability triggers itself if you die and the daily use of this ability has not been expended yet.
Fire Resistance (20)


1: Calm Animals
2: Scent
3: Restoration, lesser
4: Searing Exposure
5: Phantom Stag
6: Antilife Shell

Novice of the Forbidding Wasteland*: Aura of the Wasteland (Su): Once per encounter, you can activate this ability with a standard action. Squares in a 5 feet radius centered on you are treated as if covered by a layer of loose sand about 1 foot deep. It costs 2 squares of movement to move into such square and the DC of tumble checks into such square increases by 2. Flying creatures ignore this effect. This effect lasts 1 round per Shugenja level or until you desactivate it with a standard action.

Initiate of the Forbidding Wasteland: Improved Aura of the Wasteland (Su): Creatures that enter the radius of your aura (and each round they stay within its radius) must succeed at a fortitude save (DC 10 +1/2 shugenja level + CHA) or become fatigued.

Elder of the Forbidding Wasteland: Greater Aura of the Wasteland (Su): The radius of your aura increases to 10 feet.

Transcendent of the Forbidding Wasteland: Supreme Aura of the Wasteland (Su): Squares within the radius of your aura are treated as if covered by a layer of loose sand about 3 feet deep. It costs 3 squares of movement to move into such square for medium or larger creatures and 4 squares for small or smaller creatures. Tumbling is impossible within the radius of your aura. Flying creatures ignore this effect. Creatures that enter the radius of your aura (and each round they stay within its radius) must succeed at a fortitude save (DC 10+1/2 shugenja leve +CHA) or become exhausted.

In addition, any ally (including yourself) that dies while in the area of effect of the Rain of Eternal Life is automatically restored to life (as per a True Resurrection Spell) at the end of the round.

6: Blade Barrier

Novice of the Impenetrable Crucible: Magic Circle against Prohibited Element (Su): You are permanenty affected by an effect that functions like Magic Circle against Evil, except that the benefits apply to attacks from creatures with a subtype of your prohibited element and to spells with a descriptor of your prohibited element.

Initiate of the Impenetrable Crucible: Mettle (Ex)

Elder of the Impenetrable Crucible: Call Shield Guardian (Sp): Once per week, you can use this ability as a standard action to call a Shield Guardian. This Shield Guardian obeys you until it is destroyed or dismissed (standard action). If you call a Shield Guardian while you still have one under your control, the first one is dismissed.

Transcendent of the Impenetrable Crucible: Enter the Crucible (Su): Once per day, you can use this ability as a standard action. It creates a temporary demiplane named The Crucible (see below) in which you and target creature within 30 feet (will save negates, DC10 +1/2 shugenja level + CHA) are planeshifted instantly. The target creature is dazed on its first round in The Crucible. This demiplane cannot be accessed by any other means and neither the creature nor you can leave it until the other one dies or is destroyed.

The Crucible is a self-contained featureless 100 feet X 100 feet X 100 feet cubic demiplane with a flat ground (which is also the ceiling) that seems made of frosted glass. Because it is self-contained, its temporary inhabitants can see infinite reflections of themselves. This is a rather disorienting effect and creatures in The Crucible must make a DC10 Wisdom check every round until they succeed or be dazed. A creature that fails his Wisdom check gets a +2 cumulative bonus to his Wisdom checks against this effect. You are immune to this effect. Blind creatures or creatures with their eyes closed are not affected by this effect.

- Static Morphic
- Mildly neutral-aligned
- Subjective directional gravity: Only up or down (towards the ground/ceiling)
- Enhanced magic. All spells and spell-like abilities used may be employed as if they were improved by the Quicken Spell feat. Already quickened spells and spell-like abilities are unaffected, as are spells from magic items. Spells so quickened are still prepared and cast at their unmodified level. As with the Quicken Spell feat, only one quickened spell can be cast per round.
- Normal Time
- Shadowy Illumination

In addition, some planar traits are modified randomly each 1d6 rounds according to the following table.

Enhanced magic. Spells and spell-like abilities with the fire descriptor and spells on the Fire Shugenja list are both maximized and enlarged (as if the Maximize Spell and Enlarge Spell had been used on them, but the spells don’t require higher-level slots).

Novice of the Ineffable Mystery: Bonus Feat: Spell Penetration

Initiate of the Ineffable Mystery: Sound of Silence (Ex): You may cast Shugenja spells one or more levels lower than your maximum spell level (max 5th level spells) without verbal components.

Elder of the Ineffable Mystery: Empty Space (Su): Three times per day, as a standard action, you may suppress gravity in a 5 foot radius per 2 Shugenja levels centered on you. This effect lasts 5 rounds.

Transcendent of the Ineffable Mystery: Transcend the Void (Ex): You gain the Void subtype

Void creatures are made of the same empty space that comprises the Void. Normal creatures (that is, creatures without the void subtype) cannot see them unless the void creature makes its presence known, either by an act of will (a free action) or by attacking. A void creature has total concealment (50% miss chance) unless it reveals itself. See invisibility and invisibility purge don't reveal void creatures, but true seeing does. Blindsight and blindsense don't reveal void creatures. Members of the void disciple class can see void creatures. Once it reveals itself, a void creature remains visible until it uses a free action to conceal itself again.

Novice of the Perfect Sculpture: Tremorsense (Ex): 5 feet / 2 shugenja levels.

Initiate of the Perfect Sculpture: Bonus Feat: Sculpt Spell

Elder of the Perfect Sculpture: Earth Glide (Su): You can move through earth like an earth elemental, gliding through stone, dirt, or almost any other sort of earth except metal as easily as a fish swims through water. This burrowing leaves behind no tunnel or hole, nor does it create any ripple or other signs of your presence. A move earth spell cast on an area where you are earth gliding flings you back 30 feet, stunning you for 1 round unless you succeeds on a DC 15 Fortitude save. Using this ability is a standard action. Each use lasts for a number of rounds equal to 3 + your CHA modifier.

Transcendent of the Perfect Sculpture: World Shaper (Su): This ability is similar to the Undermaster spell, except that you can activate or desactivate it with a swift action. It can be active a maximum of 10 rounds each day.

Novice of the Spring Zephyr: Air Mastery (Ex): Airborne creatures take a -1 penalty on attack and damage rolls against you.

Initiate of the Spring Zephyr: Call Flying Mount (Su): As a full-round action, you can call a flying mount. This mount can be a giant eagle, giant owl, or pegasus. Its alignment is the same as yours. The mount remains with you until it is slain or dismissed. It requires food and rest.
Calling a mount is a conjuration (calling) effect. If the mount dies, you can either have the mount raised from the dead or call another mount. You may only call a replacement mount after 7 days.

Your mount is superior to a normal creature of its kind and has special powers, as described below.

Elder of the Spring Zephyr: Whirlwind (Su): As a standard action, you can transform yourself into a whirlwind. You can be in that form for up to 1 round per 2 shugenja levels per day. In this form, you gain a fly speed equal to your base land speed (perfect maneuvrability).
In whirlwind form, you are treated one size category larger and occupy the space of a creature of that size. The whirlwind is up to 50 feet tall. You control the exact height, but it must be at least 10 feet.

Your movement while in whirlwind form does not provoke attacks of opportunity, even if you enter the space another creature occupies. Another creature might be caught in the whirlwind if it touches or enters the whirlwind, or if you move into or through the creature’s space.
Creatures one or more size categories smaller than you might take damage when caught in the whirlwind and be lifted into the air. An affected creature must succeed on a Reflex save (DC 10 + ½ shugenja level + CHA) when it comes into contact with the whirlwind or take 3d6 points of damage. It must also succeed on a second Reflex save or be picked up bodily and held suspended in the powerful winds, automatically taking 1d8 points of damage each round. A creature with a fly speed is allowed a Reflex save each round to escape the whirlwind. The creature still takes damage but can leave if the save is successful.
Creatures trapped in the whirlwind cannot move except to go where you carry them or to escape the whirlwind. Creatures caught in the whirlwind can otherwise act normally, but must make a Concentration check (DC 15 + spell level) to cast a spell. Creatures caught in the whirlwind take a -4 penalty to Dexterity and a -2 penalty on attack rolls. You can have only as many trapped inside a whirlwind as 5 times your maximum load.
You can eject any or all carried creatures as a free action (but only once a round), depositing them in a square adjacent to wherever the whirlwind happens to be. The ejected creatures take falling damage as normal.
If the whirlwind’s base touches the ground, it creates a swirling cloud of debris. This cloud is centered on you and has a diameter equal to half the whirlwind’s height. The cloud obscures all vision, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. Creatures 5 feet away have concealment, while those farther away have total concealment.
Those caught in the cloud must succeed on a Concentration check (DC 15 + spell level) to cast a spell.
In whirlwind form, you cannot make melee attacks and do not threaten the area around you.

Reverting to your normal form is a standard action.

Transcendent of the Spring Zephyr: Mystic Gust of the Spring Zephyr (Su): As a standard, while in whirlwind form, you can affect any or all creatures that share your space (or trapped in the whirlwind) with one of the following effects.

- 20D6 Lightning damage + stunned for 1 round. A successful reflex save halves the damage and negates the stunning.
- Return to Nature (as the spell)
- Banishment (as the spell)

The save DC of all these effects is equal to 10 +1/2 shugenja level + CHA.

Each odd level, the scout chooses how the skirmish improves based on the skirmish abilities table.

A scout 3/Ranger 17 with swift hunter could still only choose: +1d6 damage or +1AC or Studied Foe or +Dex dmg.

1: +1d6 dmg
3: +1 AC
5: +Dex dmg
7: Studied Foe (Undead)
9: +1d6
11: +1d6
13: +1d6
15: +1d6
17: +1d6
19: +1d6
Total: +7d6+Dex, +1 AC with Studied Foe (Undead)

A scout 20 could eventually choose from the whole list.
1: +1d6
3: +1 AC
5: +Dex dmg
7: Studied Foe (Undead)
9: Slow
11: +2d6
13: +2d6
15: +2d6
17: +2d6
19: +2d6
Total: +11d6+Dex, +1AC with Studied Foe (Undead) and Slow



I'm planning on maybe adding more skirmish abilities.

Oh, now I get it.

Let's see...

Swift Hunter makes Skirmish more effective vs. Fav. Enemy, accumulates with Fav. Enemy and renders Studied Foe almost moot (one is definitely not enough). The Scout is a bit behind here, even if you go for 2d6s all the way from level 11 and on.
The Scout is inferior in both BAB and spells, but has more versatile class features. I think that the Ranger's superior SL access puts it (and Swift Hunter) a head of the Scout, even with the Scout's better built-in features (some of which are quite situational, e.g. trackless Step, Flawless Stride and Camouflage). It's hard for me to see how the Scout's advantageous built in features compensate for its spell inferiority vs. the Ranger. (and then there's BAB).
The only place where the Scout has some level of (i.e. marginal) advantage, is in skill points, but the Ranger has more class skills.

Just went over your Rogue fix.
Overall, it's really good. Just one thing I'd change: Ghost Step (Invisible) should be a 5th level ability in my view, with Insightful strike and Ambush Adept reshuffled according to your personal taste.
Also, I'm guessing the usage frequency is daily. You should clarify.

Btw, I'm considering using your Studied Foe feature for my Rogue. Would you be OK with it?

I can see how 2nd level is pretty early for the Ghost Step since the earlier you can get the equivalent is with a 4th level bard or 5th level duskblade (Invisibility, Swift). The thing is, this Rogue fix also replaces the ninja that gets this ability at 2nd level.

Your guess is good for the frequency, I'll clarify it!

As for the Studied Foe feature, be my guest!


Is something missing mate?Cuz this looks like missing a lot.

What makes you think that ?

In all seriousness, I'll edit that post soon; I posted it a bit too early!

[Tibalt]

Edited the Scout. I wanted to really differentiate it from the ranger.

Added Combat Trapsmith's abilities, got rid of the battle fortitude and the 1-4 ranger casting that was not adding much and just making it more MAD than needed.

Also, fixed Body Fuel (in the modified feats section).

[Tibalt]

Been a while!

Posted the Shugenja (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showsinglepost.php?p=21735477&postcount=59) to whom I gave some class abilities based on the chosen Shugenja Order. Also changed the bonus spells from the Shugenja Order for spells that are not on the normal Shugenja spell list. Before, it made no sense for a Shugenja to take an order of the same element because all the spells were already on his list. Also, the new spells not being associated to an element makes every orders viable for any elements.

[Lazymancer]

I'd like to suggest a slight modification to your new feats. Rank dependence is not particularly ergonomic method - for human brains, at least.

Heroic Spell
Prerequisite: Character level 12, ability to cast 6th-level spells.
Benefit: You gain one spell of 7th spell level known, either arcane or divine, as appropriate. You may cast this spell once per day for every 7 character levels you have (twice at 14th level, three times at 21st). You do not gain bonus spells for this spell level, like you normally would.
Special: you can take this feat several times.

Legendary Spell
Prerequisite: Character level 15, Heroic Spell
Benefit: You gain one spell of 8th spell level known, either arcane or divine, as appropriate. You may cast this spell once per day for every 8 character levels you have. You do not gain bonus spells for this spell level, like you normally would.
Special: you can take this feat several times.

Mythic Spell
Prerequisite: Character level 18, Legendary Spell
Benefit: You gain one spell of 9th spell level known, either arcane or divine, as appropriate. You may cast this spell once per day for every 9 character levels you have. You do not gain bonus spells for this spell level, like you normally would.
Special: you can take this feat several times.


Heroic Power
Prerequisite: Character level 12, ability to manifest 6th-level psionic powers.
Benefit: You gain one power of 7th level known. You can can manifest this power once per day for every 7 character levels you possess. You don’t spend power points to manifest this power and you can’t augment it.
Special: you can take this feat several times.

Legendary Power
Prerequisite: Character level 15, Heroic Power
Benefit: You gain one power of 8th level known. You can can manifest this power once per day for every 8 character levels you possess. You don’t spend power points to manifest this power and you can’t augment it.
Special: you can take this feat several times.

Mythic Power
Prerequisite: Character level 18, Legendary Power
Benefit: You gain one power of 9th level known. You can can manifest this power once per day for every 9 character levels you possess. You don’t spend power points to manifest this power and you can’t augment it.
Special: you can take this feat several times.

Also, what is your rationale behind cutting high-level spells? It's not like there are many of those (IIRC number of 7-9 level spells is about the same as those of 3rd level), nor are they particularly different from the rest.

[Tibalt]

Good catch on the "you may take this feat multiple times".

As for the rank dependence, it's mostly because I want them to have the same feel as Epic Spellcasting (which has about the same mechanic).

As for limiting the 7th to 9th level spells; it serves many purposes:

First it's a slight buff for 1-6 casters who now get a limited access to higher level spells (ex: a bard could take heroic spell as his 18th level feat to have a 7th level spell).

It also makes prestige classes that don't progress spellcasting every level more appealing since you don't need to reach 17th caster level to get 9th level spells.

It limits the number of high level effects full casters have access to, but with no list restriction, it lets the caster tailor its choices according to the party (ex: a wizard in a party with no cleric could learn true resurrection).

It also nerfs the full casters who, now, don't have high level spell slots for metamagic.
