So yeah im going to use this thread for my present and future random ideas of homebrew designs that are hardly worth their own thread.
So let's not beat all over the bush but start to get to the point:
First off a feat:
OFF-HAND FEINT
You are trained to use your offhand to make quick feints along with striking with your primary weapon.
Prerequisites: Two-weapon Fighting, Improved Feint
Benefit: When taking a full attack action with two weapons you can choose to give up your first offhand attack and make a feint as a free action.
And a (rather simple) template:
ETERNAL SERVANT
Some necromancers, especially Liches and Vampires, sometimes transform their most reliable servants into undead, so their servant can serve them for eternity.
Undead created this way are called eternal servants. They are not much more powerful than they were in life. However though they have an own will and can make decisions of their own, eternal servants are also bound to the will of their master and are not able to act against their masters' will.
When an eternal servant's master dies the eternal servant is completely free from their will and can henceforth make decision without the limits their master sets. Eternal servants free from their former masters will often try to undo their master's deeds as good as they can, since after years, or sometimes centuries of slavery they started to despise their master.
An Eternal servant shows only little features marking him as undead. They usually are very thin have extremely pale, often completely white skin and hair and their eyes show no expressions even though the eternal servants are capable of feeling and emotions.
Creating An Eternal Servant
Eternal Servant is an acquired template that can be added to any humanoid creature (referred to hereafter as the base creature).
An Eternal Servant has all the base creature’s statistics and special abilities except as noted here.
Size and Type: The creature’s type changes to undead. Do not recalculate base attack bonus, saves, or skill points. Size is unchanged.
Hit Dice: Increase all current and future Hit Dice to d12s.
Spells: An Eternal Servant can cast any spells it could cast while alive.
Darkvision: An Eternal servant has Darkvision with 60' range. If the base creature has Darkvision with a higher range, it keeps its natural Darkvision.
Special Qualities: An Eternal Servant retains all the base creature’s special qualities and gains those described below.
Turn Resistance (Ex): An Eternal servant has +2 turn resistance.
Abilities: The Ability scores remain unchanged except, as being undead an Eternal Servant has no Constitution score.
Skills: Eternal servants have a +2 racial bonus on spot and listen check. They also get a +5 racial bonus on disguise checks when disguised as their base creature. Otherwise same as base creature.
Challenge Rating: Same as base creature +1.
Treasure: Standard
Alignment: Usually evil. Freed Eternal Servants are often good as they try to make up for their masters' mischieves.
Level Adjustment: Same as base creature +1
I'm not happy with the name eternal servant yet and im not sure about LA and CR yet. But please post your opinions.
