Disclaimer: Before we get started. Let me just say that this post is intended for humour only, is not an attack on menand does not advocate actual violence towards men. This is post-modern misandry, steeped in irony.

Class Features
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A feminist militant is proficient with all simple weapons.

Logical Leap (Ex): At 1st level, as an immediate action, a feminist militant can make a DC 15 Sense Motive check against a male creature. If the skill check is succesful the feminist militant gains a +4 insight bonus to saves and AC against this creature. If the skill check fails, this becomes -2 penalty as the feminist militant misunderstood what the creature was doing.

Targeted Misandry (Su): At 3rd level, the feminist militant has become adept at hunting down male creatures. As a result, once per day the feminist militant gains an insight bonus equal to their half their feminist militant level on the save DC of a spell or spell-like ability. This ability only works on male creatures.

Outstanding Speech (Su): At 5th level, as a standard action, the feminist militant can give a rousing speech of feminist power. If they succeed at a DC 15 Perform (oratory) skill check, they activate this power. Any male creature within 30 yards of the feminist militant must make a DC 10 + Charisma modifier + feminist militant level will save, or suffer confusion, as per the spell.

Additionally, all allied female creatures gain +1 morale bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, and saves for the duration of the speech. This effect lasts 3 rounds + 1 round per Charisma modifier of the feminist militant. She may use this ability a number of times per day equal to 1 + her Charisma modifier.

A male creature who has been affected from a feminist militant's outstanding speech cannot be affected by the same feminist militant for 24 hours.

Emasculate (Sp): At 7th level, a feminist militant can produce an emasculate effect, as the spell, once per day. The spell functions like avasculate, except the ability only works against male creatures. If the feminist militant accidentally casts this on a creature that is not male the spell has no effect, but the ability is still used up for the day.

Additionally, if the male creature fails its fortitude save, it loses the ability to reproduce unless healed with a regenerate spell.

Untouchable (Ex): At 9th level, due to intensive self-defence training, the feminist militant may add her feminist militant level to any grapple attempts initiated against her.

Complete Equality (Su): At 10th level, the feminist militant is considered as either male or female (her choice) for the purposes of wearing items, being targeted by spells or effects that specifically target either males or females.

You can be both a feminist Militant and a Dread Misogynist. Clearly the only logical way to be both is to be a warforged wizard.

Self-hating feminist woman also works.

But then you're not a multiple (gender) personality Warforged! I personally support our pyscho robot brother/sisterhood.

Gestalt Dread Misogynist/Feminist Militant.

Misanthropist Militant!

[imp_fireball]

Feminist militant should gain levels in divine spell casting and take off from something like paladin (lawful neutral or evil variant). If they're good then they're probably adept at weakening enemies with such frivolous phrases as 'mean people suck!'

Misanthropist Militant!

Or maybe just asexual/bi-sexual/bipolar/confused militant. Worships god of insecurity and weakness (evil leaning?).

Additionally, if the male creature fails its fortitude save, it loses the ability to reproduce unless healed with a regenerate spell.

They also begin taking to gossip, fashion, other people's minor motives (so... what're you thinking about?), crying at inappropriate moments, and becoming gay - although they may refuse that they are the latter, instead claiming to have submerged themselves in the culture of 'metrosexuality'.

Also... it should be a will save to resist emasculate. Fortitude and manliness are rather directly related (barbarian's got high fort saves), and since this ability is anti-man... y'know.

Interestingly enough, a 10th level feminist is a valid target for Emasculate

It's a women's right to choose though. So she can choose not to be affected.

Maybe they should get another cap stone ability like 'woman scorned' or 'oh no he din't!' or 'you go girl!'.

Currently it's rather insignificant. There's not too many items out there that rely on gender anyway (although it'd render them immune to belt of gender bending and maybe they could seduce anyone ).

I'm reminded of that scene from Life of Brian. You know the one, right? Right?

No. Link?

I am highly amused by the fact that the Feminist Militant prestige class is stronger than the Dread Misogynist, as far as a quick glance can show.

I'm tempted to make a joke about fiction paralleling reality, but that would probably not be in the best taste.

Anywho, fun prestige classes for a humor campaign.

That would make it a tad overbalanced, I think. Gotta give the DrMi some semblance of a chance, no?

It's not really meant to be fantastic, though it does render all but one of the Dread Misogynist's abilities useless.

Ouch. Haha, funny class. If FM was a melee class, it should totally give you Favored Enemy (men) and Low Blow (Ex) that works just like sneak attack but can only be used with unarmed attacks.

[Lord Vukodlak]

Maybe a groin attack special ability at some point, the male must take a fortitude save or be stunned for 1d4 rounds from the pain, all other males witnessing the event must make a will save or can only take defensive actions that turn due to covering themselves.

Well that's partially what emasculate is implied to be doing.
