    Class Abilities: Rage (This requirement can also be met via Racial Feats)
    Skills: Hide 4 ranks, Survival 4 ranks

    4. +4    +4     +1     +1    Bonus Feat
    5. +5    +4     +1     +1    Veteran
    Weapon Proficiencies: A Gator Rager gains no new weapon or armor proficiencies.

    Rage (Ex): Your Barbarian and Gator Rager Levels stack for determining how many times per day you can Rage.

    Bonus Feat: At 1st and 4th Level you can choose any Bonus Feat from the following list that you qualify for: Extend Rage, Extra Rage, Instantaneous Rage, Mad Foam Rager, or any Racial Feat. Non-racial Feats are found in PHBII or Complete Warrior.

    Ambush (Ex): At 2nd Level, if your target is denied his Dexterity Bonus to AC, your attacks do +1d6 damage. If you are also Raging at the time, that increases to +2d6 damage.

    Grappling (Ex): At 3rd Level you gain use of the following Maneuvers:

    Death Roll: You now do your Bite damage with a successful Grapple Check.

    Improved Ambush: You gain a +2 Bonus on a Grapple Check you make if your opponent is unaware of you.

    Veteran (Ex): At 5th Level, if you are Grappling an opponent in water, you hold them under water each round you make a successful Grapple Check, potentially drowning them.

    PLAYING A GATOR RAGER
    You're hungry. You're always hungry. Despite this, you're surprisingly patient. Waiting hours for the chance to kill something isn't unknown for you.
    Combat: You prefer to hide under water, and leap out when prey comes close enough, before dragging it down..
    Advancement: You tend to advance in whatever skillset keeps you alive and fed.
    Resources: You pretty much have what you can take.

    GATOR RAGERS IN THE WORLD
    "Ain't nuthin' good down in the swamps son."
    You spend your days submerged in water up to your eyeballs, waiting for someone, anyone, to just get close enough.
    Daily Life: You live the life of a typical ambush predator, albeit one who has attained some level of early technology.
    Notables: Yok (CE Gator Man/Barbarian 2/Gator Rager 3) is a typical Gator Man. In other words, he's completely insane due to the experiments performed upon him.
    Organizations: Unless you're one of the odd sorts who hire out as a merc, you generally hang with your tribe.

    NPC Reaction
    NPC's are generally terrified of you.

    GATOR RAGERS IN THE GAME
    This PrC assumes the PC is of a race with a certain reputation for aggressiveness. Be sure the PC doesn't have an issue with that..
    Adaptation: This is meant for a swamp based campaign, but it could probably be adapted to other terrains..
    Encounters: Ragers are usually encountered when you've entered their territory.

    Sample Encounter
    EL15: You're walking through the swamp listening to the Bard whine about how awful this mission is, what with the mud, the skeeters, and the leeches, when all of a sudden an eight foot tall gator man bites him in the face. Where the heck did he come from?

    GATOR RAGER
    Originating with the Lizardfolk, this fighting style specializes in Grappling.

    IMPROVED GRAPPLE
    When you choose this path at 3rd level, if you successfully attack a creature with an Unarmed Strike or Bite, it is considered Grappled. On the beginning of each of your turns, if the target is still Grappled, it automatically takes your Unarmed Strike or Bite damage.

    AQUATIC FIGHTING
    At 6th Level you gain Advantage on all Checks made to start, end or maintain a Grapple. You also gain Advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) Checks made while in water. You can hold your breath for 5 minutes.

    AMBUSH
    At 10th Level you cannot have Disadvantage on any rolls against creatures who are unaware of you. You do an additional die of damage whenever you attack with Advantage.

    POWERFUL CLUTCH
    At 14th Level, you can Grapple a creature up to 2 Sizes larger than yourself, and if you are Grappling a creature in water, you successfully hold it under water each round you maintain the Grapple. It must hold it's breath each round it is underwater, or begin to drown.

    At 9th Level your effective Druid Level is equal to your (Hit Dice -9).

    PLAYING A XYTAR RIDERS
    You are responsible for defending the tribe...by robbing any passers by. Which honestly only provokes wars that are entirely unnecessary.
    Combat: You specialize in mounted combat.
    Advancement: As part of the military, you're responsible for attending whatever training they require..
    Resources: You have whatever resources the military s willing to give you, and what you can plunder privately.

    XYTAR RIDERS IN THE WORLD
    "And then she said 'Your money, and your life. What a jerk."
    No one likes you, probably because you've either robbed them or their loved ones. Or beaten them at the Queen's behest. Or your pet has burned their home down.
    Daily Life: Your days are spent training or raiding. There is no time off.
    Notables: Se'Ress (NE Female Sis'Thik Fighter 4/Xytar Rider 4) is a newly minted cavalry officer.
    Organizations: Unless you've fled, you belong body and soul to the military.

    NPC Reaction
    NPC's generally consider you bad news.

    XYTAR RIDERS IN THE GAME
    This class assumes you are part of a military force with a fairly awful reputation. Be prepared for that.
    Adaptation: This is meant for Mystara, but it could be adapted to other campaigns with some work.
    Encounters: Xytar Riders are generally encountered where ever you would find the Sis'Thik military.

    Sample Encounter
    EL 12: The PC's are guarding a desert caravan, when they're surrounded by Lizardfolk women riding fire spitting reptiles. They demand the PC's dance. Clearly they've never dealt with murderhobos before.

    XYTAR RIDER (Fighter)
    You aren't like the other Lizardfolk. You want to ride a fire spitting dinosaur into battle. And someone was actually willing to sponsor you!

    BABBY XYTAR
    At 3rd Level you have been assigned a pet Xytar by the Elders. As an action, you can summon your Xytar once per long rest.

    The Xytar appears in an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you.

    The Xytar is friendly to you alone and obeys your commands. See this creature's game statistics in the Babby Xytar stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places.

    In combat, the Xytar shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. The only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the Xytar can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.

    The Xytar manifests for 1 hour, until it is reduced to 0 hit points, until you use this feature to summon the Xytar again, or until you die.

    Babby Xytar
    Small Xytar
    Armor Class: 13 + PB (natural armor)
    Hit Points: 5 + five times your fighter level
    Speed: 30 ft.
    Str: 14
    Dex: 14
    Con: 14
    Int: 8
    Wis: 14
    Cha: 11
    Saving Throws. The XYtar has Proficiency with Strength and Dexterity Saving Throws.
    Senses: Darkvision 60 ft., passive perception 12
    Languages: understands the languages you speak
    Proficiency Bonus: equals your proficiency bonus
    Skill Proficiencies. The Babby Xytar gains your PB on the following skill checks: Strength (Athletics), and Wisdom (Perception).
    Actions:
    Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: your melee attack modifier to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: (1d6 + PB) piercing damage.
    Fire Breath. Once per Long Rest, the Babby Xytar can spew Fire in a 15 ft. cone. Each creature in the cone must make a Dexterity saving throw against DC (8 + your PB + Constitution modifier), taking 3d6 damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

    MONSTER HANDLING
    At 3rd Level, you may make Wisdom (Animal Handling) Checks successfully on Monstrosities with an Intelligence of 8 or less if you wish to influence their behavior.

    COORDINATED ATTACK
    Starting at 7th level, you and your Xytar gain Advantage on attack rolls on any round in which you both attack the same target in melee.

    VICIOUS ATTACK
    Starting at 7th level, your Xytar's Bite does magical damage.

    MOUNTED MOBILITY
    At 10th level, your Mount gains the benefits of the Mobile Feat, whether you are riding it or not. You must have the Mount for 24 hours to bond with it to allow it the use of this ability.

    FELL TRAMPLE
    At 15th level, you may order your Mount to run a target over. The Mount must make a melee attack after moving at least 20 feet in a straight line, and the target must be the same size as the Mount, or smaller. If the attack is successful, it does 2d6 additional Bludgeoning damage, and must make a Strength Saving Throw or be knocked Prone.

    MY LITTLE BABY IS ALL GROWN UP
    At 18th level, your Xytar achieves adulthood. Your Xytar now uses the following statblock, and you may ride it as a Mount:

    Adult Xytar
    Large Monstrosity
    Armor Class: 13 + PB (natural armor)
    Hit Points: 15 + five times your fighter level
    Speed: 40 ft.
    Str: 19
    Dex: 14
    Con: 16
    Int: 8
    Wis: 14
    Cha: 11
    Saving Throws. The XYtar has Proficiency with Strength and Dexterity Saving Throws.
    Senses: Darkvision 60 ft., passive perception 12
    Languages: understands the languages you speak
    Proficiency Bonus: equals your proficiency bonus
    Skill Proficiencies. The T-Rex gains your PB on the following skill checks: Wisdom (Insight), and Charisma (Persuasion).
    Actions:
    Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: your melee attack modifier to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: (2d6 + PB) piercing damage.
    Fire Breath. Three times per Long Rest, the Adult Xytar can spew Fire in a 30 ft. cone. Each creature in the cone must make a Dexterity saving throw against DC (8 + your PB + Constitution modifier), taking 8d6 damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

    HIGH PRIEST



    "BEHOLD THE POWER OF EVIL! MWUAHAHAHA!"

    The High Priests of the Master Crocodilians compete for the gift of 'physical perfection' from their creators. Ironically their competing with each other involves assassination, neatly destroying their creators schemes.

    BECOMING A HIGH PRIEST
    Virtually all Master Crocodilians compete for this class.

    ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
    Species: Crocodilian Master
    Patron: Set, or another evil god
    Skills: Knowledge (Arcana, Religion) 4 ranks each
    Feats: Any 2 Racial or Metamagic Feats


    Class Skills
    The High Priest's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Heal (Wis), Knowledge (arcana) (Int), Knowledge (history) (Int), Knowledge (religion) (Int), Knowledge (the planes) (Int), Profession (Wis), and Spellcraft (Int).
    Skills Points at Each Level : 2 + int

    Hit Dice: d8

    Code:
       BAB  Fort    Ref    Will  Abilities
    1. +0    +2     +0     +2    +2 Str
    2. +1    +3     +0     +3    Tail Lash, +1 Level of Divine Casting Class

    4. +3    +4     +1     +4    +2 Str, +2 Con
    5. +3    +4     +1     +4    Large Size, +1 Level of Divine Casting Class
    6. +4    +5     +2     +5    +1 Level of Divine Casting Class
    7. +5    +5     +2     +5    +2 Str

    10.+7    +7     +3     +7   +2 Str, +2 Con, Arch  Priest
    Weapon Proficiencies: A High Priest gains no new weapon or armor proficiencies.

    Ability Scores: At Levels 1, 4, 7 and 10 your Strength score permanently improves by +2. At Levels 4 and 10 your Constitution score also improves by +2.

    Tail Lash (Ex): You gain a a Secondary Tail Lash doing 1d12 plus 1/2 Str Bonus. You get a Bite and a Tail Lash with a Full Attack.

    Large Size (Ex): At 5th Level, your Size increases to Large. This increases your Reach, and improves your land speed by +10 ft.

    Powerful Build (Ex): Whenever you are subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for an opposed check (such as during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts), you are treated as one size larger if doing so is advantageous to you.

    You are also considered to be one size larger when determining whether a creature’s special attacks based on size (such as improved grab or swallow whole) can affect you. You can use weapons designed for a creature one size larger without penalty. However, your space and reach remain those of a creature of your actual size. The benefits of this racial trait stack with the effects of powers, abilities, and spells that change the subject’s size category.

    Arch Priest (Sp): At 10th Level, you can Shapechange (as per the spell) into a Deinosuchus (see Dungeon 145, page 66) 3/day.

    PLAYING A HIGH PRIEST
    You are the best. You tower over everyone. Your power and guile are boundless. You're pretty sure of this, because you make sure to tell everyone you meet.
    Combat: The more Levels the Crocodilian has in this class, the more willing they are to indulge in combat, rather than setting back and using spells to back up minions.
    Advancement: Most Crocodilians tend to have a single minded determination to walk the same path with this class.
    Resources: You have whatever the Deity who created you is willing to part with, and what you can take by force or guile.

    HIGH PRIESTS IN THE WORLD
    "Man, that guy has issues."
    You have tons of people trying to backstab you and usurp your position. And tons more you intend to backstab for various reasons yourself. In short, you're a drama king who lives for the chaos.
    Daily Life: Your days are spent in endless schemes and religious duties.
    Notables: Sobekhotep (CE Master Crocodilian Cleric 3/High Priest 2) is a typical Master Crocodilian. All ego.
    Organizations: You belong to your creators clergy, on pain of death. He made you, he owns you.

    NPC Reaction
    NPC's generally see you for the monster you are.

    HIGH PRIESTS IN THE GAME
    This assumes you are the scion of an Evil God. Could make things a bit tricky for the group.
    Adaptation: This is meant for all evil Forgotten Realms Campaigns, but it could be adapted to others.
    Encounters: You are generally only found in your lair.

    Sample Encounter
    EL 12: The PC's are visiting a local temple, when it gets raided by talking alligators. They manage to put the invasion down before tracing it to a rival temple. Normally they wouldn't get involved, but one of the gators ate the Wizards favorite wand.

    GRENADIER



    "YEEEHAW!"

    You're a tiny lizard person who rides a giant, prehistoric cow into combat, flinging grenades all the way. You live the most metal life possible.

    BECOMING A GRENADIER
    Most Cayma warriors eventually qualify.

    ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
    Species: Cayma
    Animal Companion: Aurochs
    Skills: Handle Animal (4 ranks), Ride (4 ranks)

    Ranged Cavalry (Ex): At 3rd Level you get Mounted Archery as a Bonus Feat.

    At 6th Level you get Improved Mounted Archery as a Bonus Feat.

    At 9th Level you no longer take penalties to ranged attacks while mounted.

    Cavalry Sergeant (Ex): At 10th Level, your effective Druid Level doubles for purposes of determining your Aurochs Animal Companion's abilities.

    PLAYING A GRENADIER
    You're good at tall tales for such a little fella. But people give leeway to those who can ride an Aurichs despite being only a little bit bigger than the cows foot..
    Combat: You are ranged cavalry, tossing spears and grenades as you ride by..
    Advancement: Most Grenadiers have a fairly similar skillset.
    Resources: As long as you're fighting for the tribe, you have whatever they can provide.

    GRENADIERS IN THE WORLD
    "There goes Wilbur again..."!
    You're generally heroes to your people. You take care of them, their land, and their food..
    Daily Life: Much of your day is spent tending the cattle, or riding on patrol.
    Notables: Crazy Wilbur (CN Male Cayma Ranger 6/Grenadier 4) is crazier than the usual Aurochs Rider.
    Organizations: All Grenadiers are members of the Cayma military.

    NPC Reaction
    NPC's tend to stare at you with open mouthed stupefaction. They don't see you're like very often.

    GRENADIERS IN THE GAME
    Your most common weapon is only produced by your species. That and your mount kind of limits your travel range.
    Adaptation: This is meant for the Savage Coast, but could be adapted with some work.
    Encounters: You are encountered guarding villages or cattle, or during times of war, on patrol.

    Sample Encounter
    EL 12: The PC's are bargaining for a swamp guide, when a lunatic rides by on some sort of giant bull, leaving explosives in his wake. Your charred familiar stares back at you and asks 'whhhhyyyyy?'

    GRENADIER (Fighter)
    It takes a special sort of crazy to ride an Aurochs into battle with grenades as your primary weapon.

    AUROCHS
    At 3rd Level you have been assigned a pet Aurochss by the Elders. As an action, you can summon your Aurochs once per long rest.

    The Aurochs appears in an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you.

    The AUrochs is friendly to you alone and obeys your commands. See this creature's game statistics in the Aurochs stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places.

    In combat, the Aurochs shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. The only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the Aurochs can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.

    The Aurochs manifests for 1 hour, until it is reduced to 0 hit points, until you use this feature to summon the Aurochs again, or until you die.

    Aurochs
    Large Beast
    Armor Class: 11 + PB (natural armor)
    Hit Points: 15 + five times your fighter level
    Speed: 50 ft.
    Str: 20
    Dex: 12
    Con: 194
    Int: 5
    Wis: 12
    Cha: 10
    Senses: Passive perception 12
    Languages: understands the languages you speak
    Proficiency Bonus: equals your proficiency bonus
    Charge. If the aurochs moves at least 20 feet straight toward a target and then hits it with a gore attack on the same turn, the target takes an extra 9 (2d8) piercing damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.
    Actions:
    Gore. Melee Weapon Attack: your melee attack modifier to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: (2d6 + PB) piercing damage.


    GRENADE PROFICIENCY
    At 3rd Level, you gain proficiency with Cayma Grenades.

    MOUNTED ARCHERY
    Starting at 7th level, ranged attacks gain Advantage while you are mounted.

    CRAFT GRENADES
    At 10th level, you can Craft Cayma Grenades. A Sleep or Fog Grenade costs 50 gp and 1 day to make. A Choke Grenade costs 200 GP and costs 2 days to make. All Cayma Grenades are thrown weapons with a range of 20/60 feet, and weighs half a pound. Each Grenade creates a 20 foot radius cloud of mist with different effects. The Sleep Grenade acts as a Sleep spell, the Fog Grenade acts as a Fog Cloud spell, and the Choke Grenade acts as a Stinking Cloud spell. Each grenade is one use only, and has duration of 1 Minute or until a wind of moderate or greater speed (at least 10 miles per hour) disperses it. Save DC, if applicable, is 10 plus PB.

    HORNS OF POWER
    At 15th level, the Gore attack of your Aurochs now does (2d8 + PB) damage, and is considered a magical weapon.

    CAVALRY SERGEANT
    At 18th level, you can now make Boom Grenades. Boom Grenades weigh a 1/2 pound, and can be thrown 20/60 feet as a ranged weapon. It costs 200 GP, and takes 2 days to make. When used it does 4d6 fire and 4d6 piercing damage in a 20 foot radius, unless the targets make a Dexterity Saving Throw for half damage (Save DC is 10+PB).

    PLAYING AERIAL INFANTRY
    You maintain the safety of your species, which you take very seriously. Maybe a little too seriously, given the ferocity with which you greet intruders.
    Combat: You have flight, be sure to capitalize on that.
    Advancement: Being part of a military unit means you tend to advance along similar lines as your fellows.
    Resources: Assuming you're still part of the Krolli military, you might be able to call on them.

    AERIAL INFANTRY IN THE WORLD
    "Uh oh..."
    Given your species infamous standoffishness, you generally keep the world at spear point.
    Daily Life: Training, training, training, and standing watch.
    Notables: Zod (LN Male Krolli/Fighter 4/Aerial Infantry 2) is a blind fanatic who stops anything within 5 miles of his eyrie.
    Organizations: The military frowns upon you being a part of any organization but theirs.

    NPC Reaction
    NPC's view you based on their previous experience with the Krolli. Which usually isn't the greatest.

    AERIAL INFANTRY IN THE GAME
    This assumes the PC is (or was) part of a military unit, which could have consequences.
    Adaptation: This is meant for the Savage Coast, but could be adopted.
    Encounters: Aerial Infantry are usually encountered defending their territory.

    Sample Encounter
    EL 12: The PC's are traveling through the mountains, when a bunch of flying reptile people pelt them with rocks before taking off. Only to come back an hour later and do it again...

    Daily Life: Much of your day is spent bonding with your bat, and training.
    Notables: Fess (NG Male Shazak Fighter 4/Bat Cavalry 5) is a nervous fellow, new to soldiering.
    Organizations: Almost all Bat Cavalry belongs to a military or paramilitary organization..

    NPC Reaction
    This is an in detail description of how NPC's would perceive your class and the immediate generalization that people would give of your class.

    BAT CAVALRY IN THE GAME
    This class assumes you are in the military (or at least a private mercenary). That could have implications for the group..
    Adaptation: This is meant for the Savage Coast Campaign setting, but could be adaptable elsewhere.
    Encounters: Bat Cavalry is usually seen in times of war, or when entering a village that trains them.

    Sample Encounter
    EL 12: The PC's are standing guard at the watch tower at night, when a lizardy looking fellow flies up on the back of a giant bat and asks where the army is. He's late. They really don't know how to respond.

    Ghost (Su): At 10th Level, if you expend your Psionic Focus, you are Invisible, as per the spell, until you attack.

    PLAYING AN AMBUSH PREDATOR
    Yours is a life obsessed with food. Specifically, where and when is your next meal coming from. You reeeally need those calories. Every other consideration (other than personal safety) comes a distant second.
    Combat: You generally prefer to attack from hiding. Not because you aren't capable, but you're on your own. No sense in taking risks.
    Advancement: You lean towards abilities that enhance your own personal survivability..
    Resources: You have whatever you can find by luck, or take by force.

    AMBUSH PREDATORS IN THE WORLD
    "I heard them things in the night again."
    In theory, the world should only know of your existence by the corpses you leave behind. A found predator is usually a dead predator. Your trust is hard to gain for this reason.
    Daily Life: Your life is the daily struggle for survival.
    Notables: Hss (N Male Flailer/Ambush Predator 1) is a typical Flailer, who spends much of his time stalking others.
    Organizations: It's a rare person who hires a 'monster', but it isn't unknown...

    NPC Reaction
    NPC's regard you as they would any dangerous beast.

    AMBUSH PREDATORS IN THE GAME
    This is a class that assumes you belong to a species that sees most others as food. Make sure the player is prepared for some hostility.
    Adaptation: This is meant for use in AThas, but it could be adapted.
    Encounters: Ambush Predators are generally encountered when you wander into their territory.

    Sample Encounter
    EL 12: The PC's are tracking a group of Defiler henchmen, when they realize they aren't the only ones following him.

    SPACEFARER



    "No hot dogs, only klavkalash."

    ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
    Species: Hurwaeti (or any similar species that commmonly crew ships)
    Class Abilities: Uncanny Dodge
    Skills: Knowledge (Planetology, Wildspace, see spelljammer.org) 4 ranks
    Feats: Heavy Weapon Proficiency (see Spelljammer.org), Hurwaeti Flexibility


    Class Skills
    The Spacefarer's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Balance (Dex), Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Disable Device (Int), Escape Artist (Dex), Hide (Dex), Jump (Str), Knowledge(dungeoneering) (Int), Knowledge(nature) (Int), Knowledge(planetology)* (Int), Knowledge (wildspace)* (Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Profession (Spacehand, WIldspace Navigator)(Wis), Ride (Dex), Search (Int), Sense Motive (Wis), Speak Language (n/a), Spot (Wis), Survival (Wis), Swim (Str), Tumble (Dex), Use Rope (Dex) and Wildspace Survival (Wis)*. *see Spelljammer.org)

    10.+7    +3     +7     +3   Ship Defender
    Weapon Proficiencies: A Spacefarer gains no new weapon or armor proficiencies.

    Spelljammer Training: At Levels 1, 4 and 7 you get a free Bonus Feat you qualify for from the following list (see Spelljammer.org for Feats with a *): Acrobatic, Agile, Alertness, Combat Reflexes, Dodge, Exotic Weapon Proficiency, Far Shot, Freefall*, Improved Critical (Heavy Weapon)*, Improved Initiative, Mobility, Phlogiston Sense*, Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Quick Draw, Rapid Reload, Rapid Reload (Heavy Weapon)*, Shot on the Run, Slow Respiration*, Weapon Finesse, Weapon Focus (Heavy Weapon)*, Weapon Specialization (Heavy Weapon)*,

    Evasion (Ex): A Spacefarer can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If she makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if the rogue is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless rogue does not gain the benefit of evasion.

    Keep Your Distance (Ex): At 3rd Level, if you hit an opponent with a ranged attack, they are Checked for 1 round if they fail a Fortitude Save (Save DC is 10 + damage dealt).

    At 6th Level, if you successfully Check an opponent, you do +1d6 damage with that attack. This rises to +2d6 at 9th Level.

    Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex): The Spacefarer can no longer be flanked.

    This defense denies other creatures the ability to sneak attack the character by flanking her, unless the attacker has at least four more hit dice/character levels than the target does.

    Improved Evasion (Ex): This ability works like evasion, except that while the Spacefarer still takes no damage on a successful Reflex saving throw against attacks henceforth she takes only half damage on a failed save. A helpless Spacefarer does not gain the benefit of improved evasion.

    Ship Defender (Ex): AT 10th Level you gain a +2 Bonus on attack rolls, skill checks and saving throws when on any ship on which you have served at least a week.

    PLAYING A SPACEFARER
    If you've seen the show Lower Decks, you know what you're in for here.
    Combat: With the exception of the occasional wandering space monster, or pirate attack, you don't see much action being as you're stuck on the ship..
    Advancement: You develop whatever skills are most needed, trusting that it will further your career.
    Resources: You have whatever you can steal, or gain access to with the captains permission).

    SPACEFARERS IN THE WORLD
    "My crew can out drink yours any day!"
    You get to see more (and also less) of the universe than most people. You sail to far off, exotic destinations, only to find yourself with no shore leave half the time. And considering how dangerous the universe is, maybe that's not such a bad thing...
    Daily Life: As a ship's crew, there is always work to be done.
    Notables: Weetabix ( NG Female Hurwaeti/Scout 2/Spacefarer 6) tries to keep shenanigans on her ship to a minimum.
    Organizations: Just about every organization in Spelljammer has use for Spacefarers..

    NPC Reaction
    Like most 'menial' laborers, you tend to be invisible.

    SPACEFARERS IN THE GAME
    This is a good class to have if you'll be serving on a spelljammer at any point.
    Adaptation: This is meant for Spelljammer, but could probably be adopted.
    Encounters: Spacefarers are usually encountered on Spelljammers, or port cities.

    Sample Encounter
    EL 12: The PC's are hired to guard a spelljammer from pirate shenanigans. No one warned them about the shenanigans of the crew...

    Class Abilities: Rage 2/day
    Skills: Move Silently 4 ranks, Survival 4 ranks

    10.+10   +3     +7     +3   Warrior of the Fog
    Weapon Proficiencies: A Fog Bandit gains no new weapon or armor peoficiencies.

    Enhanced Rage (Ex): At 1st Level, you gain Instantaneous Rage as a Bonus Feat. At 4th Level you may enter Rage and cast Fog Cloud simultaneously as either a Swift or Immediate Action. At 7th Level you are Invisible, as per the spell, when Raging and in your Fog Cloud.

    Sign: Fog Bandits use their own form of sign language, which you learn at 1st Level.

    Enhanced Fog (Sp): At 2nd Level, your species Fog Cloud ability gets an upgrade. Now when someone is within the fog, creatures more than 5 feet away are effectively Invisible unless you have Mist Vision, and those who are at 5 feet have a 50% chance that attacks against them fail. At 5th Level you can choose to center on you, and it's area of effect moves with you. At 8th Level you may use Fog Cloud and enter Rage simultaneously as a Swift Action.

    Battle Fortitude (Ex): At 3rd Level, a Fog Bandit gains a +1 competence bonus on Fortitude saves and initiative checks. This bonus increases to +2 at 6th level and +3 at 9th level. A Fog Bandit loses this bonus when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load.

    Warrior of the Fog: At 10th Level, your Fog Cloud ability is upgraded to Solid Fog (as per the sell), which you are unaffected by.

    PLAYING A FOG BANDIT
    You are that rarest of creatures, a Barbarian whose tactics do not solely rely on Rage.
    Combat: You tend to fog up, move in, and go to town.
    Advancement: The needs of your current situation tend to dictate what you learn.
    Resources: Unless you're defending the tribe, you have what you can take by force.

    FOG BANDITS IN THE WORLD
    "Don't go into the fog!"
    You live deep in the swamp, and go unseen when raiding. Pretty much no one knows what you are unless you leave a witness.
    Daily Life: You are a typical tribal warrior, either out hunting, or defending your territory.
    Notables: Jin (CN Female Swamp Wiggle Barbarian 4/Fog Bandit 3) leads her tribe in raids on merchants who pass through her territory.
    Organizations: Given your abilities, you are popular as mercs.

    NPC Reaction
    NPC's see you as the bad guy, much like any other bandit.

    FOG BANDITS IN THE GAME
    This assumes you have been an outlaw to some, so try not to get the party hunted down for your past 'indiscretions'.
    Adaptation: This is meant for Spelljammer, though any setting with Wiggles will do.
    Encounters: Fog Bandits are generally encountered when you enter their territory.

    Sample Encounter
    EL 12: The PC's are hired as guards on a swamp expedition. They're surrounded by a fog from nowhere as they enter the swamps edge. Typical ambush.

    TORTLE GUARDIANS IN THE WORLD

    Notables: Moonshell (NG Female Kla'a-tah Cleric 2/ Tortle Guardian 1) is currently attempting to gain help to drive out a pack of Sea Gluttons.
    Organizations: You work for the Immortals, and no one else.

    NPC Reaction
    NPC's tend to love you (Tortles), hate you (monsters and bad guys), or not have the foggiest idea who you are (just abut everything else).

    TORTLE GUARDIANS IN THE GAME
    This assumes you have duties to perform for a God. You may find these clash with typical adventurer shenanigans.
    Adaptation: This is meant for Mystara, but could be adopted to any ocean oriented campaign.
    Encounters: If PC's are encountering you, something has gone horribly awry, and you're looking for thir help.

    Sample Encounter
    EL 13: The PC's boat is attacked and sunk by some sort of sea dragons. You are now treading water between them, and some sort of giant, turtle-like creatures. You don't like the way they're staring each other down.
