Proficiencies: A brawler is proficient with light armor and simple weapons, as well as three martial or exotic weapons of his choice. He is also proficient with his own unarmed strikes and natural weapons.

Archetype Power: At 1st level, a brawler chooses an archetype from the list below. He gains the powers of the archetype at the appropriate levels, as indicated above. Once made, this choice is final.

Fight Smarter and Harder: The brawler gains either his Intelligence modifier or his Wisdom modifier as a dodge bonus to his AC (whichever is higher) as long as he is wearing light or no armor, unencumbered and not equipped with a shield. This bonus increases by 1 every three levels, and applies even when the brawler is flat-footed. He gains Improved Unarmed Strike as a bonus feat, and his unarmed strikes deal 1d6 bludgeoning damage. This damage increases to 1d8 at 3rd level and 1d10 at 6th. His unarmed strikes may also be enchanted - treat all his unarmed strikes as if they were a single masterwork weapon for this purpose.

Elusive Target: The brawler gains Evasion. He also adds 10' to his base land speed - this bonus increases to 20' at 6th level.

Strike the Heavens: The brawler's unarmed attacks are now considered magic for the purpose of overcoming damage resistance. The brawler may enchant them further, as if they were a masterwork weapon.

Faster Than the Naked Eye: The brawler gains one extra attack when making a full attack action, at his highest base attack bonus. He may also make a full attack action as a standard action or as part of a charge. These abilities only apply if the brawler is unarmed.

Perfect Harmony: Once per encounter, the brawler may make use of one of the following abilities.

Blink And You'll Miss Me: As a swift action, the brawler may move up to his base land speed, even if he has already moved that round. In addition, he gains 50% concealment for one round.

Hammer Fist: This ability may be declared as part of an unarmed attack - if the brawler succeeds on the attack, he inflicts maximum damage. The receiving opponent must make a Fortitude save (DC equal to 10 + 1/2 the brawler's level + the brawler's Strength modifier) or be stunned for one round.

Mystic Resonance: As an immediate action, the brawler can negate one spell or spell-like ability cast upon him, as if he possessed insurmountable spell resistance. He may negate a spell with an area of effect, but if he does, all others in the area are affected as usual. The brawler is also restored a number of hit points equal to his level multiplied by his Intelligence or Wisdom modifier, whichever is higher.

[CENTER]Archetypes:

Breathstealer

Lesser Archetype Power: A breathstealer gains Improved Grab, and is treated as being one size larger than he actually is for the purposes of grappling.
Moderate Archetype Power: Once per round as an immediate action, a breathstealer can initiate a grapple against an opponent within reach that has just missed him with a melee attack.
Greater Archetype Power: A breathstealer can constrict his opponent for his normal unarmed attack damage, and may use his Improved Grab ability against opponents of any size.

Bruiser

Lesser Archetype Power: A bruiser gains a battlefist, which replaces a hand of his choice permanently. Treat this as a masterwork weapon that allows his unarmed strikes to do damage as if he were one size larger. It may also be enchanted further. His unarmed attacks are considered to be cold iron for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction.
Moderate Archetype Power: A bruiser's unarmed attacks are now considered to have reach, though he may still attack adjacent opponents. His unarmed attacks are considered to be silver for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction.
Greater Archetype Power: As a standard action, a bruiser may make an unarmed attack as a ranged touch attack against any foe within 30' that he could normally target with a ranged attack. In addition, his unarmed attacks are considered to be adamantine for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction. He may not, however, treat his unarmed attacks as adamantine for the purpose of overcoming the hardness of objects.

Cenobite

Lesser Archetype Power: A cenobite may Lay on Hands as a paladin of his own level, although the ability uses either Wisdom or Intelligence (whichever is higher) instead of Charisma to determine the amount healed.
Moderate Archetype Power: A cenobite gains blindsense out to 30' and a +3 untyped bonus on all Will saves.
Greater Archetype Power: A cenobite may teleport a distance equal to his base speed as a move action. He must have line of sight to his destination. After using this ability, a cenobite may not use it again for three rounds.

Martial Artist

Lesser Archetype Power: A martial artist may initiate maneuvers as a swordsage of his level. His maneuver progression (both known and readied), stance progression, and recovery mechanics are identical to the swordsage. The disciplines available to him are Diamond Mind, Setting Sun, Shadow Hand, Stone Dragon, and two of the following: Desert Wind, Fool's Grip, Mental Grip, Sleeping Goddess, or Tiger Claw. In addition, he may use class abilities that normally require him to be unarmed as long as he uses improvised melee weapons (which he is now considered proficient with) or melee weapons that the monk is normally proficient with.
Moderate Archetype Power: A martial artist may add either his Intelligence or his Wisdom modifier (whichever is higher) as a bonus to damage rolls when executing strikes that do damage.
Greater Archetype Power: A martial artist may change stances once per round as an immediate action.

Ravager

Lesser Archetype Power: A ravager's unarmed strikes do damage as if they were one step higher on the brawler's progression - 1d8 at 2nd level, 1d10 at 3rd, and 2d6 at 6th. They also may choose to do slashing damage instead of bludgeoning with their unarmed strikes.
Moderate Archetype Power: A ravager may enter a Whirling Frenzy as a barbarian of his level three times per day.
Greater Archetype Power: If a ravager connects with at least two attacks on a full attack or a charge, he automatically rends his opponent for an amount of damage equal to his base unarmed attack damage plus his Strength modifier. The ravager is healed for an amount equal to the rending damage caused.

6th|+6/+1|+5|+2|+2|Greater Archetype Power, Riddle of Steel[/table]

Proficiencies: The gladiator is proficient with light armor, medium armor, and shields. He is proficient with simple weapons, martial weapons, and three exotic weapons of his choice.

Archetype: At 1st level, the gladiator chooses an archetype from the list below. He gains the advantages and abilities of the archetype at the appropriate levels, as indicated in the list. Once made, this choice is final.

Combat Versatility: The gladiator qualifies for feats as if he was a fighter of his own level. He also gains bonus fighter feats at 1st, 3rd, and 5th level. Once every twenty-four hours, the gladiator may swap any of these bonus feats for another feat he qualifies for, even all three - he must still fill the prerequisites of any feat he selects.

Weapon of Choice: The gladiator chooses a single weapon. He gains a bonus on attack and damage rolls with that weapon equal to half his level. That weapon may not be sundered and the gladiator may not be disarmed of it while he is wielding it. Once per encounter, he may reroll a failed attack when using this weapon. Once every twenty-four hours, the gladiator may select a different weapon.

Unorthodox Maneuvers: As a full-round action, the gladiator may make a wide swing attack, a lunge attack, or a counter-flank attack, which allows him to target multiple squares with a single blow. A wide swing attack targets a square and the two squares on either side of it, a lunge attack targets a square and the square behind it (from the point of view of the fighter), and a counter-flank attack targets a square and the corresponding square on the opposite side of the gladiator making the attack. The gladiator makes one attack roll at his full attack bonus, and uses that result for any and all targets in the affected squares.

Fancy Footwork: The gladiator may take an extra 5' step each round as an swift action. In addition, when taking the 5' step he may take normally, he may move 10' instead.

Riddle of Steel: Once per encounter, the gladiator may make use of one of the three following abilities:

Shake It Off: As an immediate action, the gladiator may remove one of the following conditions from himself, even if the condition would prevent him from doing so: ability damage, blinded, confused, dazed, dazzled, deafened, entangled, fatigued, nauseated, paralyzed, poisoned, sickened, staggered, stunned, and any forms of fear. Upon using this ability, any non-lethal damage the gladiator has suffered is immediately healed.

It's All in the Wrist: As a swift action, the gladiator may make a full attack, even if he has already performed one that turn. He may take an additional 5' step and select new targets as normal.

Glancing Blow: As an immediate action, the gladiator may negate one attack targeting him, as if it did not succeed in overcoming his armor class. He must declare that he is using this ability before any damage is rolled.

Archetypes:

Brute

Lesser Archetype Power: A brute may Rage as a barbarian of his level, three times per day, and may add his Strength modifier to all Intimidate attempts. In addition, he gains a 10' bonus to his base land speed, and is no longer encumbered or slowed by medium armor.
Moderate Archetype Power: A brute may charge over difficult terrain and may make one direction change of up to 90 degrees during a single charge. While raging, he gains damage reduction X/-, where X is equal to his Constitution modifier.
Greater Archetype Power: A brute gains Pounce and no longer suffers a penalty to armor class when charging. In addition, while raging, he gains a +6 bonus to Will saves against hostile mind-affecting effects.

Kensei

Lesser Archetype Power: A kensei gains the ability to initiate maneuvers as if he were a warblade of his own level. His maneuver progression (both known and readied), stance progression, and recovery mechanics are the same as a warblade of his level. The disciplines available to him are Diamond Mind, Iron Heart, Stone Dragon, and two of the following: Army of One, Chthonic Serpent, Dancing Leaf, Scarlet Bravura, Storm Soul, Tiger Claw, or White Raven. His weapon of choice is always considered an associated weapon for all his disciplines.
Moderate Archetype Power: A kensei becomes immune to fear and demoralization.
Greater Archetype Power: Whenever a kensei rolls a natural twenty on a melee attack or martial strike with his weapon of choice, if he subsequently confirms the critical hit, any damage is maximized.

Master at Arms

Lesser Archetype Power: A master at arms may treat his weapons as any material for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction. He may not, however, treat his weapons as adamantine for the purpose of overcoming the hardness of objects.
Moderate Archetype Power: A master at arms may change his Weapon of Choice as a swift action, and gains a +4 bonus to all combat maneuvers while using it. He may also ignore up to 20% of any concealment his opponent possesses while wielding a chosen weapon.
Greater Archetype Power: The threat range of the master at arm's weapon of choice is doubled, and the critical multiplier increased by one - this ability cannot, however, increase the critical multiplier of a weapon beyond x4.

Pit Fighter

Lesser Archetype Power: Anytime a pit fighter is able to make an attack of opportunity, he may also immediately take a 5' step, even if he has already used one for the round. Additionally, opponents provoke attacks of opportunity from a pit fighter even during a 5' step.
Moderate Archetype Power: Opponents threatened by a pit fighter may not cast defensively and lose their spell if the pit fighter's attack of opportunity causes damage - any Concentration check made to focus on the spell automatically fails.
Greater Archetype Power: Anytime a pit fighter is able to make an attack of opportunity, he may make a full attack instead.

Vindicator

Lesser Archetype Power: A vindicator gains the favored enemy ability of a ranger of his level, gaining a second at level 5 and increasing the bonuses to +4/+2.
Moderate Archetype Power: A vindicator gains a bonus on attack and damage rolls against a particular opponent equal to the number of times that encounter he has been successfully attacked by that opponent (to a maximum of +3).
Greater Archetype Power: A vindicator's weapon of choice is considered to be a bane weapon against his favored enemies. In addition, he may replace his favored enemies with different choices once every 24 hours.

Proficiencies: The hunter is proficient with light armor, medium armor, and bucklers. He is also proficient with simple and martial weapons.

Archetype: At 1st level, the hunter chooses an archetype from the list below. He gains the advantages and abilities of the archetype at the appropriate levels, as indicated in the list. Once made, this choice is final.

Deadly Aim: The hunter may add his Dexterity modifier to damage rolls when using ranged weapons. He may also, before attacking in a round choose to subtract a number from all ranged attack rolls and add that number to ranged damage rolls. This number may not exceed his base attack bonus. The penalty on attacks and bonus on damage last until his next turn. If he is wielding a two-handed weapon, he may instead add twice the number subtracted to his damage rolls.

Trapper: The hunter gains the ability to set traps in a square he occupies as a full-round action. He may set traps with a level equal to his own divided by two. Unless otherwise noted, traps are set off when someone steps in the square they were set in, and they have a save DC of 10 + half the hunter's HD + the hunter's Intelligence modifier. Opponents may become aware of them with a successful Spot check, or if they witness the hunter setting them. The hunter may have a number of active traps equal to his Intelligence modifier. In addition, the hunter gains the Trapfinding ability.

Hawkeye: The hunter takes half the normal penalty (-1 instead of -2) for each range increment beyond the second, and takes no penalties whatsoever for the second, effectively doubling his normal range. He also gains a +5 bonus to Spot checks to detect hidden foes or foes at long range.

Penetration: The hunter may ignore up to 5 points of his opponent's damage reduction when using ranged attacks or one-handed weapons.

Unerring Shot: Three times per day, the hunter may ignore all penalties for cover (except total cover), concealment, or range for one ranged attack against an opponent. If that attack hits, it bypasses any and all damage reduction the opponent possesses.

Archetypes:

Beastmaster

Lesser Archetype Power: A beastmaster gains the Animal Companion ability as a druid of his level. He also gains the ability to heal his companion once per day as a full-round action, restoring ten hit points per hunter level.
Moderate Archetype Power: Even if a beastmaster does not possess Precise Shot, he takes no penalties for firing into melee if his companion is the one engaging his target - he instead gains a +2 bonus to attack for doing so. He never risks hitting his companion. A beastmaster is also treated as being three levels higher for the purposes of its animal companion.
Greater Archetype Power: A beastmaster gains a second animal companion as a druid of 1st level. His moderate ability applies to this ability, allowing him to choose his second companion from the list available to 4th level druids. He may now heal his companions three times per day as a full-round action (in total, not per companion), restoring ten hit points per hunter level.

Deadeye

Lesser Archetype Power: A deadeye gains the ability to initiate maneuvers as a warblade of the same level. His maneuver progression (both known and readied), stance progression, and recovery mechanics are the same as a warblade. The disciplines available to him are Shadow Hand, Tiger Claw, and two of the following: Black Rain, Dancing Leaf, Falling Star, Solar Arrow, or Scarlet Rose. In addition, the deadeye gains proficiency with the hand crossbow and one-handed firearms, and may reload either as a free action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity.
Moderate Archetype Power: A deadeye may make attacks of opportunity with hand crossbows or one-handed firearms as if they threatened a range of 10', and does not provoke attacks of opportunity for using a ranged weapon while using such weapons.
Greater Archetype Power: A deadeye may make the following combat maneuvers with ranged weapons without taking a penalty to the roll: disarm, sunder, and trip. If the maneuver requires a melee touch attack, the deadeye may substitute a ranged touch attack.

Peltast

Lesser Archetype Power: A peltast gains the Skirmish ability as a Scout of the same level. He also may draw new thrown weapons as a free action.
Moderate Archetype Power: A peltast may apply half of his Skirmish damage against foes normally immune to precision damage. He may also attack two opponents at once - if he hits his opponent with a thrown weapon, any opponent that occupies the square behind it (i.e., in the opposite direction that the attack originated from) is also treated as being attacked. The peltast only makes one attack roll, and the result is used against both opponents. If he misses the first opponent, the second opponent is not harmed, even if it would normally have been a hit.
Greater Archetype Power: A peltast may make a full attack action as a standard action, but only with thrown weapons and only after moving at least 10' in the same round.

Sniper

Lesser Archetype Power: A sniper only takes a -10 penalty when sniping, and may attempt to hide after making a ranged attack as a swift action. He may also attempt to move at his full speed while hiding without taking the normal -5 penalty on the check.
Moderate Archetype Power: If a sniper successfully attacks an opponent who is completely unaware of his presence, the attack is an automatic critical hit. Even if the opponent is aware of the sniper's presence, as long as the opponent does not know the sniper's exact location, he is treated as flat-footed against the sniper's ranged attacks.
Greater Archetype Power: A sniper may hide without cover or concealment as long he is in natural terrain.

Stalker

Lesser Archetype Power: A stalker selects one terrain mastery, and gains its benefits. He may select a second at fifth level.
Moderate Archetype Power: A stalker may set traps as a standard action. In addition, his traps are harder to spot, offering a +5 bonus to their spot DC.

Interception: The sentinel is able to protect his allies from harm. Once per round as a free action, if an ally within the sentinel's reach is about to be attacked in melee, the sentinel may choose to attempt to deflect the attack. He makes an opposed melee attack roll, with the DC considered to be the total result of the incoming attack.

Greater Archetype Power: When using Interception, if a juggernaut's opposing attack roll succeeds, the juggernaut's opponent is knocked back a number of squares equal to the difference between the two rolls, and is knocked prone. If the opponent is prevented from moving back by an obstacle, he takes 1d6 damage for each 5' he was unable to move.

Landsknecht

Lesser Archetype Power: Any opponent moving into a landsknecht's reach is considered to be charging, giving it a -2 penalty to AC (though no positive benefits unless it was actually already charging) and allowing the landsknecht to do double damage with a weapon set against a charge. In additions, a landsknecht may attack adjacent opponents with reach weapons.
Moderate Archetype Power: All squares within a landsknecht's reach are considered difficult terrain for opponents.
Greater Archetype Power: When using Interception, if a landsknecht's opposing attack roll succeeds, the landsknecht may make one free melee attack at his highest base attack bonus as a free action.

Praetorian

Lesser Archetype Power: A praetorian gains a +1 untyped bonus to armor class and Interception attempts for each ally within 10' (to a maximum of +5).
Moderate Archetype Power: All allies within 10' of a praetorian are immune to fear and negative morale effects, and may no longer be flanked or flat-footed.

These bonuses are not cumulative and only the highest one applies.
Greater Archetype Power: An avenger is not disabled below 0 hit points, and does not die immediately upon reaching -10 hit points - he may act normally for a number of rounds equal to his Constitution modifier. If his hit points remain at -10 or lower after that time has passed, he dies as normal.

He may access the domain powers of both (if a domain power refers to cleric level, use the initiate's class level instead), and may cast the 1st-level spell of each domain as an SLA once per day. The DC of the spell, if applicable, is equal to 10 + 1/2 the initiate's HD + the initiate's Charisma modifier. The caster level is equal to his hit dice
Moderate Archetype Power: An initiate gains the ability to turn (if good or neutral) or rebuke (if evil) undead as a cleric of his level, a number of times per day equal to 3 + his Charisma modifier. He may now cast his domains' 2nd-level spells as SLAs, each one 1/day.
Greater Archetype Power: Once per encounter, an initiate may make a smite attack against a foe as part of a melee attack. If the attack connects, does extra divine damage equal to five times his Charisma modifier. He may now cast his domains' 3rd-level spells as SLAs, each one 1/day.

Reaver

Lesser Archetype Power: A reaver exudes an aura that gives all foes within 10' a -2 profane penalty to all saves. There is no save and the penalty persists until the foe has moved out of range. This ability does not stack with similar abilities, such as that of other reavers or hexer black mages. In addition, a reaver may demoralize an opponent as a swift action.
Moderate Archetype Power: If a reaver successfully deals a killing blow to a foe, he gains a +2 morale bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, and armor class for the next three rounds.
Greater Archetype Power: Any foe hit by a reaver's melee attacks must make a Fortitude save (with the DC being 10 + 1/2 the reaver's HD + the reaver's Charisma modifier) or become fatigued for one round. If a reaver hits a foe who is already fatigued with this ability, the foe becomes exhausted for one round instead.

Proficiencies: The scoundrel is proficient with light armor and bucklers. He is proficient with simple weapons, the rapier, the longsword, the shortbow, the short sword, the sap, and the hand crossbow.

Archetype: At 1st level, the scoundrel chooses an archetype from the list below. He gains the advantages and abilities of the archetype at the appropriate levels, as indicated in the list. Once made, this choice is final.

Sneak Attack: As the rogue ability, with the following exception: The scoundrel may sneak attack non-living creatures, ones without discernible anatomies, or ones immune to critical hits, but his sneak attack damage is halved while doing so.

Trapfinding: As the rogue ability.

Exit Strategy: The scoundrel gains Evasion and Uncanny Dodge.

Underhanded Tactics: The scoundrel gains a +4 to attacks made while flanking, instead of +2, and he deals an additional point of damage per sneak attack die while doing so.

Critical Strike: If the scoundrel successfully sneak attacks an opponent who is completely unaware of his presence, the sneak attack damage is maximized.

Close Shave: Three times per day, the scoundrel may immediately choose to negate an attack that would otherwise have brought him to 0 or negative hit points, as if the attack had missed. He may then immediately take a standard action.

Archetypes:

Cutthroat

Lesser Archetype Power: A cutthroat gains the ability to initiate maneuvers as a swordsage of two-thirds his level. His maneuver progression (both known and readied) and his recovery mechanics are identical to the swordsage. The disciplines available to him are Setting Sun, Shadow Hand, Tiger Claw, and one of the following: Black Lotus, Coin's Edge, Dancing Leaf, Desert Wind, Oncoming Storm, or Scarlet Rose.
Moderate Archetype Power: A cutthroat may perform a coup de grace as a standard action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity.
Greater Archetype Power: A cutthroat gains the Death Attack ability. The save DC of this ability is equal to 10 + half the cutthroat's hit dice + the cutthroat's Intelligence modifier.

Phantom

Lesser Archetype Power: A phantom may move at full speed without penalty when hiding and may take 10 on Hide and Move Silently checks, even if stressed or endangered.
Moderate Archetype Power: If a phantom is completely unobserved (allies excluded), he may become invisible for a number of rounds equal to his class level as a full round action. The invisibility ends if the phantom attacks any creature. This is a supernatural ability.
Greater Archetype Power: A phantom gains permanent 20% concealment and may hide in plain sight as long as there is a shadow within 10', excepting his own shadow.

Silencer

Lesser Archetype Power: A silencer is trained in the use of poison and never risks poisoning himself when applying it to a weapon. He may also apply poison as a swift action, does not provoke attacks of opportunity for doing so, and each application of poison lasts for two hits rather than being used up after one.
Moderate Archetype Power: The save DC of any poison used by a silencer is increased by 2. In addition, he may force an opponent to reroll a save against one of his poisons once per encounter - he may do this after the result of the first roll is announced, but must abide by the result of the second.
Greater Archetype Power: A silencer becomes immune to poison, and may partially overcome an opponent immunity to poison - against opponents immune to poison, a silencer's poisons apply, but only with half effect and a -4 penalty to the save DC. If the poison causes unconsciousness, sleep, or paralysis, it causes the dazed condition instead against an opponent immune to poison.

Thief-Acrobat

Lesser Archetype Power: A thief-acrobat gains a bonus to Balance, Climb, Jump, and Tumble checks equal to his class level. He also gains a base climb speed of 30' and need only move 10' to get a running start.
Moderate Archetype Power: A thief-acrobat may take ten on all Balance, Climb, Jump, and Tumble checks, even if stressed or endangered. He now no longer needs a running start when jumping, and may ignore falling damage of up to 60'.
Greater Archetype Power: A thief-acrobat does not provoke attacks of opportunity for moving through an opponent's threatened area, and gains Improved Evasion.

Umbral Scion

Lesser Archetype Power: An umbral scion may use Shadow Magic fundamentals and mysteries as a shadowcaster of his level. He does not suffer arcane failure for casting while wearing light armor.
Moderate Archetype Power: An umbral scion gains bonus mysteries per day for having a high Intelligence score.
Greater Archetype Power: An umbral scion may choose one 4th-level mystery, and may cast it a single time per day.

Proficiencies: The engineer is proficient with light armor, medium armor and bucklers. He is proficient with simple weapons, the hand crossbow and all firearms. He may also wear mechanized armor without penalty, even though it is considered heavy armor.

Archetype: At 1st level, the engineer chooses an archetype from the list below. He gains the advantages and abilities of the archetype at the appropriate levels, as indicated in the list. Once made, this choice is final.

Inventions: The engineer gains the ability to use Inventions. Inventions are limited-use mechanical or alchemical items that mimic supernatural or magical effects, but are completely mundane and scientific in nature. He may prepare a number of inventions per day as listed in the table above, and from any of six disciplines, though he may only prepare each individual invention once each day (one-handed firearms and melee weapons, however, may be prepared twice). Once depleted, the invention may not be used until it has been prepared again - however, some inventions may contain multiple doses or may be used multiple times. The save DC of an invention, unless otherwise noted, is equal to 10 + the level of the invention + the engineer's Intelligence modifier. At 1st level, he may only prepare 1st level inventions, but may prepare 2nd level inventions at level 3 and 3rd level inventions at level 5. Activating an invention, unless otherwise noted in its description, requires a standard action. Unless otherwise noted in the invention description, it may only be used or equipped by the engineer who prepared it. Preparing inventions requires one hour of dedicated work, and may only be done once every 24 hours.

Trapfinding: The engineer can use the Search skill to locate traps when the task has a Difficulty Class higher than 20. Finding a nonmagical trap has a DC of at least 20, or higher if it is well hidden. Finding a magic trap has a DC of 25 + the level of the spell used to create it. The engineer can use the Disable Device skill to disarm magic traps. A magic trap typically has a DC of 25 + the level of the spell used to create it. An engineer who beats a trap’s DC by 10 or more with a Disable Device check can study a trap, figure out how it works, and bypass it (with his allies) without disarming it.

The Knack: The engineer gains a bonus on all Craft checks equal to half his level. He also receives a 25% reduction in the crafting cost of all mundane and alchemical items, and his crafting progress checks are measured in days instead of weeks. He may also craft alchemical items as if he were a spellcaster.

Jury Rigging: Once per day, the engineer may immediately regain the use of one invention that he has just depleted.

Bombardier: The engineer gains an untyped +4 bonus to attack rolls with all grenade-like or splash weapons, or inventions that mimic them. Any such weapons or inventions have their range increment and splash radius increased by 5'.

Improvisation: Three times per day, the engineer may activate any invention as a standard action, even if he does not normally have it prepared. If the invention normally has a duration (even if that duration is "indefinite while prepared"), it functions for a maximum of six rounds.

Archetypes:

Cannoneer

Lesser Archetype Power: A cannoneer may load any available firearm or crossbow as a swift action. He may make an aimed shot as a full round action - by taking a voluntary -2 penalty to his attack roll, he may target the legs (or leg equivalent) of his opponent. If this shot hits and does damage, his opponent may not move for one round. A cannoneer may also prepare an extra invention per day from either the Explosives or Smithy discipline.
Moderate Archetype Power: A cannoneer, when firing a firearm or a crossbow, may choose to have it do fire damage, electrical damage, or cold damage instead of physical damage. He is now always considered to have a supply of bullets and powder or bolts. He may now aim at one of his opponent's arms (or arm equivalent) by taking a voluntary -4 penalty to his attack roll. If the shot hits and does damage, his opponent must drop whatever it is holding and may not use that limb for one round.
Greater Archetype Power: A cannoneer's attacks with firearms or crossbows are now ranged touch attacks. He may now aim at his opponent's head by taking a voluntary -6 penalty to his attack roll. If the shot hits and does damage, his opponent is blinded and dazed for one round.

Innovator

Lesser Archetype Power: An innovator may prepare one extra invention per day from any discipline, and the DC of any invention he uses gains a +1 bonus.
Moderate Archetype Power: An innovator may combine inventions as a full-round action, creating a new contraption. He may pick and choose which invention's duration, range, and area to use, and adds the effects of the other invention to it. He must expend the use of both inventions when combining them, and each target is entitled to save separately for all effects. Nonsensical combinations simply do not work.
Greater Archetype Power: Anytime an innovator rolls a natural twenty, he may recover an expended invention. If he does not have any expended inventions to recover, he may instead use any invention he currently has prepared without expending it. He must use the free invention within one round of rolling the twenty.

Machinist

Lesser Archetype Power: A machinist may select one warforged body feat, even if he is not a warforged, and gains its benefits. If he is a warforged, he may select one bonus warforged feat. A machinist may also prepare an extra invention per day from either the Mechanical or the Smithy disciplines.
Moderate Archetype Power: As part of a normal melee attack, a machinist may use an invention, either one applied as a melee touch attack (in which case it is no longer a touch attack) or as a splash weapon (in which case the invention only applies to the target of the attack). If he connects with the attack, the invention is applied to the target with no save offered. In addition, he may now be healed by spells, powers, abilities, and inventions that normally only target constructs.
Greater Archetype Power: A machinist gains light fortification, giving him a 25% chance to ignore critical hits or sneak attacks. If he already possesses light fortification, the chance increases to 50%. The armor check penalty offered by his warforged plating decreases by 2, and the maximum dexterity bonus it offers increases by 2.

Sawbones

Lesser Archetype Power: A sawbones gains a bonus on melee damage rolls equal to half his Heal modifier. This is considered precision damage and is halved against non-living creatures, creatures with indiscernible anatomies, and creatures immune to critical hits. A sawbones may also prepare an extra invention per day from either the Chemistry or Medicine discipline.
Moderate Archetype Power: A sawbones becomes immune to disease and may remove any non-magical disease from an adjacent ally as a full-round action. He may also use inventions from the Medicine discipline on allies, as long as he is adjacent to them.
Greater Archetype Power: As a full-round action, a sawbones can perform a Heal check on any adjacent creature that has died within the last five rounds. If the sawbones beats the DC, which is equal to 20 + the HD of the creature, the creature is brought back to life, stabilized at -9 hit points. This ability only functions on a particular subject once every 24 hours.

Tinker

Lesser Archetype Power: A tinker gains the services of a construct companion. Treat this companion as if it were an astral construct as if manifested by a power level equal to one-half the tinker's level (minimum of one), though it is made of mundane metal rather than ectoplasm. The special ability selected for the construct is permanent until a new companion is created. He may create a new companion by spending at least 24 hours "building" one, and must spend that time initially to gain the services of his first companion. He may repair his companion with a Craft check (Armorsmithing, Blacksmithing, Sculpting, or another deemed appropriate) that takes one hour and heals his companion of hit points equal to the check result -10. A tinker may also prepare an extra invention per day from either the Mechanics or Electromagnetism discipline.
Moderate Archetype Power: A tinker may choose to split any damage done to either him or his construct companion - rather than have one suffer the full amount, each one takes half damage.
Greater Archetype Power: A tinker's construct companion gains one choice from Menu B on the astral construct menu. By spending one hour tinkering with his companion, the tinker may select new special abilities.

6th|+4|+5|+5|+2|Archetype Power (Greater), Impel[/table]

Proficiencies: The noble is proficient with light armor, medium armor, and shields. He is proficient with simple weapons and martial weapons.

Archetype: At 1st level, the noble chooses an archetype from the list below. He gains the advantages and abilities of the archetype at the appropriate levels, as indicated in the list. Once made, this choice is final.

Silver Tongue: The noble may take 10 on any Bluff, Diplomacy, or Intimidate check. He may also make rushed Diplomacy checks without taking a penalty to the roll, and demoralize foes as a move action. In addition, intimidation attempts made by the noble do not reduce the target's disposition to them afterwards.

Gold Standard: The noble gains a 10% discount on all purchases. In addition, goods and services that costs 50 gold pieces or less (before discount) are considered free (they may not be resold, however), with the exception of magical and alchemical items. The noble may also identify magic items with a successful Appraise check, with the DC equal to 20, plus one for every 500 gp of the price of the item in question.

Commanding Presence: As a full-round action, the noble may emit an aura of command that lasts for one round - all allies within 30' of the noble act as if affected by a Good Hope spell, gain 5 temporary HP (which disappear at the start of the next round), and a 10' bonus to their base land speed. This is an extraordinary mind-affecting effect.

Impel: Three times per day, as a standard action, the noble may allow one ally within 30' to take a full round's worth of actions. The ally acts immediately after the action, breaking initiative order if necessary.

Archetypes:

Dilettante

Lesser Archetype Power: At 2nd level, a dilettante may choose from three focuses at the beginning of each day: Combat Focus, Stealth Focus, or Magic Focus. Combat Focus gives him a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls, one bonus fighter feat (chosen at focus selection), and a +2 bonus to Climb, Jump, and Swim checks. Stealth focus gives him Trapfinding, +1d6 sneak attack damage, and a +2 bonus to Disable Device, Open Lock, and Search checks. Magic Focus allows him to cast a small amount of spells - he may cast cantrips or 1st-level spells from one mage class (excepting archetype bonus spells). He may only cast a number of spell levels per day equal to his Charisma modifier (cantrips count as 1/2 a spell level). He may choose a different mage class each day. His caster level is equal to half his class level, and the DC of his spells are equal to 10 + the spell level + half his Charisma modifier. He also gains a +2 bonus to Concentration, Knowledge (arcana), and Spellcraft checks.
Moderate Archetype Power: A dilletante gains a bonus on all skills he has no ranks in equal to half his class level, and is considered to be trained in their use.
Greater Archetype Power: A dilletante's foci improve: he gains a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls while in Combat Focus, +2d6 sneak attack damage while in Stealth Focus, and may cast 2nd-level spells while in Magic Focus (though he is still limited to a number of spell levels equal to his Charisma modifier). His skill bonuses from his foci increase to +4. In addition, he may change his focus once per day.

Duelist

Lesser Archetype Power: Once per round as a free action, a duelist may make one melee attack at his highest base attack bonus against an opponent that has just missed him with a melee attack. This ability only applies while the duelist is wielding a one-handed weapon with nothing in his off hand. A duelist may add his Charisma modifier to his armor class as long as he wears light or no armor and does not equip a shield.
Moderate Archetype Power: Once per encounter, a duelist can designate a specific opponent as his chosen foe. The duelist gains a bonus to attack rolls and damage equal to half his Charisma modifier (minimum of +1) against the chosen foe for as long as he remains in melee range with that foe (if the opponent moves away, the duelist has one round to close the gap before the bonuses disappear), If the chosen foe does not target him in kind refuses to engage him in combat, these bonuses are instead equal to the duelist's full Charisma modifier.
Greater Archetype Power: If a duelist succeeds on a feint check against his chosen foe, his next melee attack has triple the chance to cause a critical hit. This ability only applies while the duelist is wielding a one-handed weapon with nothing in his off hand. A duelist's Commanding Presence ability now affects himself as well.

[center]Patrician
CENTER]

Lesser Archetype Power: If a patrician fails a Diplomacy check, he may instantly retry the roll at -5 penalty. Even if the second check fails, the disposition of the target cannot be reduced below unfriendly (unless already hostile).
Moderate Archetype Power: Once per round, as a standard action, a patrician may make an opposed Diplomacy check against any opponent with an intelligence score of 3 or higher within hearing distance. If the patrician wins, the opponent is unable to take standard actions for one round. The patrician may not use this ability if silenced or if he does not speak the target's language. If the target is attacked, the effect is broken.
Greater Archetype Power: Before attacking a patrician, any opponent with a intelligence score of 3 or higher must make a Will save (DC equal to 10 + 1/2 the patrician's HD + the patrician's Charisma modifier) or pick a new target. If no other valid opponents are within reach, the attack fails. In addition, a patrician may use Commanding Presence as a move action.

Tyrant

Lesser Archetype Power: A tyrant gains the ability to summon any humanoid, monstrous humanoid, or giant from the Monster Manual with a CR no greater than half his level as a minion. Minions have the statistics, abilities, and equipment of a typical member of their race, and act on the tyrant's initiative. A tyrant may command or dismiss his minions as a free action, but may only give them complicated commands if he speaks the same language as they do - if not, minions may only attack the nearest opponent to the best of their ability. Minions of any kind only have one hit point, but they do not suffer partial or half damage from spells or effects on a successful save. The maximum number of minions a tyrant may have summoned at any one time is equal to his Charisma modifier (maximum of five), and he may summon one into an unoccupied square within 10' of himself as a full-round action
Moderate Archetype Power: A tyrant may now summon a more substantial minion, a henchman. Summoning a henchman takes one minute of uninterrupted concentration (after which it appears in the closest unoccupied square to the tyrant), and a tyrant may only have one henchman at any one time, but the henchman remains indefinitely until killed or dismissed. Once summoned, a henchman will accompany the tyrant and follow his commands - commanding a henchman is a free action. While a henchman is summoned, a tyrant may not summon minions, and any minions in existence are dismissed. Henchmen may not use magical items or wield magical equipment they do not possess when summoned. A henchman may be dismissed as a free action, allowing the tyrant to summon minions again if desired. If a henchman is reduced to 0 hit points, it is dismissed and a tyrant may not summon another until the next day. A tyrant may summon any henchman on the given list below, though he may only summon one specific one each day. In addition, all minions gain half his Intimidate modifier as bonus hit points.
Greater Archetype Power: As long as a tyrant has a living minion or henchman within 10', any attacks directed against the tyrant may be directed against his minions or henchman instead. In addition, all minions and henchmen receive the tyrant's Charisma modifier as a bonus to armor class and Will saves.

Warchief

Lesser Archetype Power: On his action, before making attack rolls for a round, a warchief may choose to subtract a number from all melee attack rolls. That same number is added to the attack and damage rolls of all allies within 5'. This number may not exceed the warchief's base attack bonus. The penalty and bonuses remain until the warchief's next turn.
Moderate Archetype Power: Whenever a warchief makes an attack of opportunity against an opponent, any number of allies up to his Charisma modifier who can reach that opponent may also make an attack of opportunity against it.
Greater Archetype Power: Upon successfully demoralizing an opponent, the penalties inflicted by the warchief are equal to his Charisma modifier instead of simply -2, and any foe suffering from such penalties may not attack the warchief until no longer affected by them. This is a morale penalty and multiple warchiefs may not stack the effect.

Proficiencies: The poet is proficient with light armor and shields (except tower shields). He is proficient with simple and martial weapons.

Archetype: At 1st level, the poet chooses an archetype from the list below. He gains the advantages and abilities of the archetype at the appropriate levels, as indicated in the list. Once made, this choice is final.

Inspiration: The poet gains the ability to use bardic music as a bard of his class level, with the caveat that he does not need to meet the Perform skill requirement to use the abilities. He does not, however, gain the ability to use Countersong. He may use this ability a number of times per day equal to his poet level plus his Charisma modifier.

Eye of Newt: The poet gains a limited ability to cast spells. He chooses two of the five mage classes (Black Mage, Blue Mage, Green Mage, Red Mage, and White Mage), and may use the spell lists of the two he chooses. This choice is permanent. He may not cast spells given by archetypes. These spells are considered arcane, and the poet need not prepare them beforehand - he may spontaneously cast any spell drawn from his two chosen lists. His sole casting stat is Charisma, which dictates both the DC of the spell in question and his bonus spells. To cast a spell, the poet must have a Charisma score equal to 10 + the level of the spell in question. The poet does not suffer from arcane spell failure while wearing light armor or equipped with a shield (except tower shields).

Once More Unto the Breach: The poet may spend one use of his Inspiration to give all allies (including himself) within 30' fast healing 1. This lasts for as long as the poet concentrates, and five rounds after. At 6th level, this ability grants fast healing 2.

A Charmed Life: The poet can no longer roll a natural one on anything - if he does, he immediately gains a free reroll. He must abide by the results of the reroll, unless it is another one. In addition, anytime he rolls a natural twenty, he gains a +2 luck bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, armor class, saving throws, and skill checks for the next three rounds.

Out of the Jaws of Death: Three times per day, the poet may restore a number of hit points equal to his class level times his Charisma modifier to any ally within 30' who has just dropped below 1 hit point as an immediate action.

Archetypes:

Banshee

Lesser Archetype Power: A banshee may spend one use of his Inspiration ability to deal 1d6 sonic damage per level to all opponents in a 15' radius. A successful Fortitude save halves the damage, with the DC equal to 10 + 1/2 the banshee's HD + the banshee's Charisma modifier. A banshee may only spend Inspiration in this way three times per day.
Moderate Archetype Power: A banshee may spend two uses of his Inspiration ability to target one opponent within hearing range. This ability does sonic damage equal to the banshee's Charisma modifier each round and deafens the opponent with no save. This ability lasts as long as the banshee concentrates. If desired, the banshee may instead use this ability against unattended objects - the sonic damage ignores the object's hardness.
Greater Archetype Power: Whenever a banshee uses the Inspiration ability from his lesser archetype power, affected opponents are stunned for one round unless they make a Will save, with the DC equal to 10 + half the banshee's HD + the banshee's Charisma modifier.

Bravado

Lesser Archetype Power: A bravado takes no penalties for fighting with two weapons, even if his off-hand weapon isn't light or he does not possess two-weapon fighting, as long as he is wielding weapons that are appropriate for his size. In addition, a bravado may spend one use of his Inspiration ability to give all allies (including himself) within 30' a 1d4 bonus on melee damage rolls. The type of this damage is equal to the type of damage that the ally's weapon inflicts. This lasts for as long as the poet concentrates, and five rounds after. This bonus increases to 2d4 at 4th level and 3d4 at 6th level. A bravado may only use Inspiration in this way three times per day.
Moderate Archetype Power: If a bravado is attacked in melee and the attack misses, the bravado may immediately make one melee attack against the opponent who missed. A bravado may only do this a number of times per round equal to his Dexterity modifier. In addition, a bravado may now also add his full Strength modifier to his off-hand attacks.
Greater Archetype Power: As a standard action, a bravado may spend two uses of his Inspiration ability to enter a battle trance for a number of rounds equal to his Charisma modifier. While in a battle trance, his base land speed doubles, he gains the benefits of the Spring Attack feat and the Pounce ability, and all his weapon damage is maximized.

Doomsinger

Lesser Archetype Power: A doomsinger may spend one use of his Inspiration ability to give all opponents within 30' a -1 penalty to all saves. This penalty lasts for as long as the poet concentrates, and five rounds after. This penalty increases to -2 at 4th level and -3 at 6th level. A doomsinger may only use Inspiration in this way three times per day.
Moderate Archetype Power: A doomsinger's attacks are imbued with the power of death, doing +1d6 negative energy damage. Any ally under the effects of his Inspire Courage ability also gain this benefit. At 6th level, the damage increases to 2d6.
Greater Archetype Power: A doomsinger may spend two uses of his Inspiration ability to reanimate a corpse as a skeleton or a zombie. This ability only functions on corporeal creatures of up to 8 HD with skeletal structures. This ability lasts as long as the doomsinger concentrates, and five rounds after, after which the corpse falls dead, unable to be reanimated. The doomsinger may only animate one corpse at a time.

Skald

Lesser Archetype Power: A skald gains proficiency with medium armor (and may ignore arcane spell failure while wearing it) and becomes immune to fear. A skald may also spend one use of his Inspiration ability to give all allies within 30' a +2 bonus to AC. This bonus lasts as long as the poet concentrates and for five rounds after. This bonus increases to +3 at 4th level and +4 at 6th. A skald may only use Inspiration in this way three times per day.
Moderate Archetype Power: The bonuses given by a skald's inspire courage ability increase by 1, and the bonus given by his inspire competence ability increases to +4.
Greater Archetype Power: A skald may spend two uses of his Inspiration ability to inspire greatness as if he were a bard of 9th level. In addition, his inspire courage ability now grants immunity to fear.

Trickster

Lesser Archetype Power: A trickster may spend one use of his Inspiration ability to give all opponents within 30' a -1 penalty to attack rolls and armor class. This penalty lasts for as long as the poet concentrates, and five rounds after. This penalty increases to -2 at 4th level and -3 at 6th level. A trickster may only use Inspiration in this way three times per day.
Moderate Archetype Power: If a trickster successfully denies an opponent its Dexterity bonus to armor class by feinting, all his allies adjacent to that opponent may make one free melee attack against it.
Greater Archetype Power: Any opponents affected by a trickster's lesser archetype power must make a Will save each round they are affected or be confused for one round. The DC for this save is equal to 10 + half the trickster's HD + the trickster's Charisma modifier.

Encyclopedic Knowledge: If a sage successfully identifies a foe, he taps into his stores of encyclopedic knowledge as a swift action, searching for some obscure fact that might confer a distinct advantage. He chooses one of the bonuses on the following list. Any bonuses given only last until the end of the encounter, and only apply to the specific creature in question and any others of its exact kind (i.e., if the sage identifies a goblin, he gains the bonuses against all goblins in the encounter, but if a hobgoblin is present, he does not receive the bonus against it). A sage may only gain one bonus per encounter for each two levels he has (minimum of one) - after reaching the maximum, he may not activate this ability again even if he successfully identifies another kind of foe in the same encounter. He may not gain multiple kinds of bonuses against one particular foe. If he identifies multiple kinds of foes at once, he may activate a bonus for each one successfully identified (provided that he does not exceed his maximum) as a single swift action.

Find the Gap: A sage gains a +1 insight bonus on all attack rolls against the creature and any others of its kind. For every ten points by which the sage's check result exceeds the base DC, the bonus increases by +1.

Twist the Knife: A sage deals an additional 1d6 damage against the creature and any others of its kind. This is considered precision damage, and is halved against creatures immune to critical hits. For every ten points by which the sage's check result exceeds the base DC, he deals an additional 1d6 damage.

Stay the Hand: A sage gains a +1 insight bonus to armor class and all saves against any attacks or abilities made by the creature and any others of its kind. For every ten points by which the sage's check result exceeds the base DC, the bonus increases by one.

The sage also gains the bardic knowledge ability as if he were a bard of his class level and may make knowledge checks untrained.

Gaze into the Abyss: The sage becomes immune to fear and the sickened and nauseated conditions. He gains a bonus on saves against disease and poison equal to his Intelligence modifier.

Targeted Strike: Three times per encounter, a sage may make a targeted strike as a standard action, aiming at a specific organ or body part in order to cripple his opponent. Treat this as a melee touch attack, though the sage may use his Intelligence modifier instead of his Strength modifier. If it is successful, apply one of the effects below. The save DC of all targeted strikes is equal to 10 + 1/2 the sage's level + the sage's Intelligence modifier. Unless otherwise noted, the duration of a targeted strike is three rounds. Creatures with indiscernible anatomies are immune to targeted strikes, as are any creatures that lack the proper organ (i.e. a creature that does not need to breathe would be immune to a Lungs strike).

Arms: The target must make a Reflex save or drop whatever is in its hands and take a -4 penalty on all melee attacks for the duration of the strike. It is unable to use claw, slam, or tentacle attacks for the duration of the strike.

Eyes: The target must make a Fortitude save or be blinded for one round and dazzled for the duration of the strike. It is unable to use gaze attacks for the duration of the strike.

Head: The target must make a Will save or be dazed for one round and confused for the duration of the strike. It is unable to use spell-like abilities for the duration of the strike.

Legs: The target must make a Reflex save or be knocked prone for one round and have its base land speed halved for the duration of the strike. It is unable to use Trample, Pounce, or any burrow/climb/swim speeds for the duration of the strike.

Torso: The target must make a Fortitude save or become exhausted for one round and fatigued for the duration of the strike. It is unable to use any breath weapon for the duration of the strike. Creatures that do not breathe are immune to this strike.

Find the Flaw: Once per encounter, if a sage has identified a foe using his Encyclopedic Knowledge ability, he may activate one of the following abilities as a swift action. These abilities, unlike Encyclopedic Knowledge, target a single creature, which must be within 60' of the sage when this ability is activated. The bonuses conferred last for one round. The sage may use this ability twice per encounter at 6th level.

Chink in the Armor: The sage automatically overcomes any damage reduction the creature possesses.

Eye of the Needle: The sage may ignore any concealment or cover the creature possesses (except for total cover).

Mystical Overload: The sage automatically overcomes any spell resistance the creature possesses.

Pure Genius: Once per encounter, the sage may treat the result of any skill check as a natural twenty. He must announce that he is using this ability before he rolls.

Archetypes:

Anatomist

Lesser Archetype Power: An anatomist gains a bonus on all melee damage rolls equal to his Intelligence modifier. The anatomist is able to discern anatomies on even the most confusing creatures, allowing him to do full precision damage against any creature.
Moderate Archetype Power: Anytime an anatomist is under the effect of a bonus from his Encyclopedic knowledge ability, the critical range of any weapon he wields is doubled against the creature he has a bonus against, and he gains a bonus to confirm critical hits against that creature equal to his Intelligence modifier.
Greater Archetype Power: An anatomist's targeted strikes last an additional round, to a total of four, and may be used on creatures normally immune to critical hits or with indiscernible anatomies. In addition, the anatomist may select the following additional organs:

Amygdala: The target must make a Will save or be frightened for one round and shaken for the duration of the strike. It is unable to use fear cones/ray/auras or frightful presence for the duration of the strike.

Inner Ear: The target must make a Will save or be stricken with a -4 penalty to armor class for one round and deafened for the duration of the strike. It is unable to use Evasion or Improved Evasion for the duration of the strike.

Glossopharyngeal Nerve: The target must make a Fortitude save or be nauseated for one round and sickened for the duration of the strike. It is unable to use bite attacks or the Swallow Whole ability for the duration of the strike.

Subclavian Artery: The target must make a Fortitude save or be paralyzed for one round and staggered for the duration of the strike. Any fast healing or regeneration is suppressed for duration of the strike.

Investigator

Lesser Archetype Power: An investigator is more inclined to use non-violent means to achieve his goals. When using his Encyclopedic Knowledge ability, he may instead grant himself a +2 bonus to all Intelligence-, Wisdom-, or Charisma-related checks against the identified creature. For every 10 by which the investigator's check result exceeds the base DC, these bonuses increase by +2. In addition, an investigator gains the Trapfinding ability, Disable Device and Open Lock as class skills, and darkvision out to 60' if he does not already possess it (if he does, his darkvision range doubles).
Moderate Archetype Power: An investigator may add his Intelligence modifier to all Strength- and Dexterity-related checks, as well as Spot and Listen checks. In addition, he is permanently affected by the See Invisibility spell.
Greater Archetype Power:

Monster Hunter

Lesser Archetype Power: By spending one minute butchering a fallen creature's corpse, a monster can create a trophy that grants him a modified version of the ranger's Favored Enemy ability. He gains a +2 bonus to Bluff, Hide, Intimidate, Listen, Move Silently, Spot, Sense Motive, and Survival checks when used against creatures of the same type, and a +2 bonus on attack and damage rolls against such creatures. A monster hunter may only possess one trophy at a time - if he creates a new one, the old one disintegrates into dust.
Moderate Archetype Power: Once per encounter, a monster hunter can brandish his trophy dramatically, showing the fate of all who oppose him. Any creature of the same type as the creature the trophy has made from with 30' must make a Will save or be frightened for a number of rounds equal to the monster hunter's Intelligence modifier. Even if a creature makes the save, it is shaken for the same duration.
Greater Archetype Power: By spending one minute butchering a creature's corpse, a monster hunter can create a relic that allows him to tap into some of that creature's power. When creating the relic, he may select one special attack that the fallen creature possessed whose effective spell level does not exceed three. By spending a standard action activating the relic (which disintegrates into dust after activation), he may use that special attack himself, using the same parameters (range, duration, et cetera) as the original attack. The DC, if applicable, is equal to 10 + 1/2 the monster hunter's level + the monster hunter's Intelligence modifier. For example, a monster hunter could create a relic from a medusa's corpse that would allow him to use the medusa's gaze attack. In addition, a monster hunter may now possess two trophies at a time, and the bonuses he gains from them increase to +4. When using his moderate archetype power, both types of creatures are subject to the fear.

Occultist

Lesser Archetype Power: If an occultist is targeted by a hostile spell or spell-like ability, he may recast that exact spell on his next turn as a spell-like ability. The occultist may only recast spells with an effective spell level equal to or less than half his own level (minimum of one). The caster level of any recasted spell is equal to the occultist's level, and any DC is equal to 10 + the recasted spell's effective level + the occultist's Intelligence modifier. The occultist may not recast any spell that has a casting time of longer than a standard action or one that requires an XP cost or material components with a value measured in gold pieces. If the spell does not target him specifically but he is included in its area of effect, he may still recast it.
Moderate Archetype Power: Anytime an occultist is the target of a spell or is included in a spell's area, he gains fast healing equal to the spell's effective level for a number of rounds equal to his Intelligence modifier. Multiple instances do not stack - only the highest value applies.
Greater Archetype Power: When using his lesser archetype power, an occultist may store up to three spells in his short-term memory for later recasting. He may store a spell for a number of rounds equal to his Intelligence modifier. If he does not choose to cast the spell before that time, it dissipates from his mind. If he has currently reached his limit of three spells stored and is targeted with another that he wishes to store instead, he may choose to dismiss one of his stored spells from memory to make room for the new one.

Tactician

Lesser Archetype Power: The tactician may share any creature-identification bonus he receives from his Encyclopedic Knowledge ability with all allies within 30'. The bonus a tactician provides for aiding another or receives for being aided by another increases to +4.
Moderate Archetype Power: A tactician gains a single bonus feat. He may share the benefits of this bonus feat with all allies within 30'. Every 24 hours, he may select a different feat for which he qualifies.
Greater Archetype Power: The bonuses received by a tactician's Find the Flaw ability may be applied to all allies within 30', and last for an additional round.

Class Abilities

Proficiencies: The black mage is proficient with light armor and simple weapons. He does not suffer from arcane failure while in light armor.

Archetype: At 1st level, the black mage chooses an archetype from the following list. Once made, the choice is final. Each archetype offers a set of powers and adds bonus spells known to the black mage's list, which are listed below and received when he becomes capable of casting spells of the same level.

Spellcasting: The black mage casts arcane spells from a specialized list, which is included below. The black mage need not prepare spells ahead of time - he may spontaneously cast any spell on his list from the appropriate slot. He still requires eight hours of rest to refresh his spells. His sole casting stat is Intelligence, which dictates both the DC of his spells and his bonus spells. To cast a spell, the black mage must have an Intelligence score equal to 10 + the level of spell in question.

Rebuke Undead: At 1st level, the black mage may rebuke undead as a cleric of his class level. He may do so a number of times per day equal to 3 + his Charisma modifier.

Minion Mastery: At 2nd level, any creature summoned by the black mage gains a bonus on attack rolls and Will saves equal to the black mage's Charisma modifier.

Fell Knowledge: At 4th level, the black mage gains an untyped +2 bonus to both Knowledge (religion) and Knowledge (the planes).

Fiendish Familiar: At 5th level, the black mage gains the services of an unholy creature as a familiar. The black mage may choose any corporeal undead, fiendish animal or vermin, or evil outsider whose challenge rating does not exceed three and whose hit dice do not exceed four. Treat this creature as a normal familiar - a normally mindless undead would now have an intelligence score, for example. However, if the creature's base attack bonus, saves, skill ranks, or intelligence score would normally be higher than what it would receive as a familiar, it keeps the greater of the two. The familiar may not spawn nor summon any other creatures nor use any spell-like abilities whose effective spell level is higher than three.

Capstone SLA: At 6th level, the black mage gains the ability to cast a particular spell as an SLA 1/day, as appropriate for his archetype. His caster level is equal to his hit dice, and the DC of the spell, if applicable, is equal to 10 + 1/2 his hit dice + his Intelligence modifier.

This is a mind-affecting fear effect, and if a creature saves against it, it cannot be affected for 24 hours. The DC to resist the fear is equal to 10 + 1/2 the hexer's HD + the hexer's Charisma modifier.
Moderate Archetype Power: A hexer exudes an aura that reduces the saves of all foes within 10 feet by 2. There is no save and the penalty persists until the foe has moved out of range of the aura. This ability does not stack with similar abilities, such as that of other hexers or reaver zealots.
Greater Archetype Power: Three times per day, a hexer may elect to treat any roll made by an opponent as a natural one. He must declare that he is using this power before the die is rolled, but may do so at any time.

Moderate Archetype Power: Any undead created, commanded or summoned by a necromancer gains a +4 profane bonus to Dexterity and 10 foot bonus to its base land speed, and any zombies lose the single action only quality.

Archetypes:

Animus

Bonus Powers
1st: Prevenom Weapon
2nd: Strength of My Enemy
Capstone PLA: Vampiric Blade

Lesser Archetype Power: An animus gains the ability to form a mind blade as a soulknife of his level, with the following caveats: he may form the mind blade into any simple or martial weapon that does slashing or piercing damage and is appropriate for a creature of his size, (he may choose to create two mind blades and dual wield them, but both weapons must be light), he may do so as a free action once per round, and he may throw a mind blade as a ranged weapon with a range increment of thirty feet.
Moderate Archetype Power: While psionically focused, an animus may apply a single enchantment with a +1 enhancement bonus to his mind blade (if he chooses to dual-wield, he must apply the same enchantment to both weapons). He may apply a single enchantment of up to a +2 enhancement bonus at 6th level (if he chooses to dual-wield, he may only apply +1 enchantments to each blade). The bonuses are selected the first time the animus manifests his mind blade each day, and may be changed by spending five minutes in meditation.
Greater Archetype Power: An animus may animate a mind blade as a standard action, allowing it to attack on its own, using the animus' base attack bonus and his Wisdom modifier in place of Strength when determining both attack and damage bonuses. It has a movement speed of thirty feet, lasts for a number of rounds equal to the animus' Wisdom modifier, and retains any relevant enhancement bonuses, though it may not benefit from any enchantments offered by the animus' moderate archetype ability. While his mind blade is animated, an animus may manifest a new one to use as a weapon, but any enchantments given by the animus' moderate archetype ability are suppressed while an animated mind blade is in effect.

Moderate Archetype Power: While psionically focused, a pugilist gains Evasion and his unarmed strikes do extra damage equal to his Wisdom modifier. This extra damage is psionic and may not be reduced by damage reduction.
Greater Archetype Power: As a full-round action, a pugilist may make a stunning strike. If it connects, the attack does extra damage equal to the pugilist's Strength modifier multiplied by his Wisdom modifier and the target is stunned for one round unless it makes a Will save (the DC equals 10 + 1/2 the pugilist's HD + the pugilist's Wisdom modifier). This extra damage is psionic and may not be reduced by damage reduction.

Warden

Bonus Powers

The shield is weightless and levitates in front of the warden, instinctively moving to block attacks and therefore does not require the warden to use one of his hands to wield it nor does it apply a penalty to attack rolls or armor checks. The bonus to his armor class from the shield also still applies if he is denied his Dexterity bonus to his armor class. The shield may be dismissed as a free action and disappears if the warden is knocked unconscious, asleep, or otherwise mentally unaware.
Moderate Archetype Power: A warden gains the ability to throw his psychic shield as a standard action. Treat this ability as a ranged touch attack with a range increment of twenty feet, using the warden's Wisdom modifier instead of his Dexterity modifier. The shield does 2d6 plus the aspirant's Wisdom modifier in bludgeoning damage with a 19-20/x2 critical modifier. It ignores material-based damage reduction and on a critical hit the target is stunned for one round with no save. The shield instantly returns once thrown, allowing the warden to retain its defensive abilities. In addition, his shield now applies to his touch AC.
Greater Archetype Power: While psionically focused, a warden with his psychic shield ability active blocks line of effect for hostile spells and abilities, allowing him to shield allies from a dragon's breath weapon, for example. In addition, his psychic shield now functions as if it were a tower shield, and while using the shield as total cover, spellcasters may not target the shield to target the warden as normal.

Proficiencies: The empath is proficient with light armor and simple weapons.

Archetype Power: At 1st level, the empath chooses an archetype from the following list, each of which conveys a certain set of advantages and abilities. Once chosen, this cannot be changed or reversed. Each archetype has a Lesser power, a Moderate power, a Greater power associated with it, which the empath receives at 1st, 3rd, and 6th level, respectively. Each archetype also adds bonus powers known, which are listed below and received when the empath becomes capable of manifesting powers of the same level.

Manifesting: The empath manifests powers as a psion does. He is restricted to powers on the general psion/wilder list in the disciplines of telepathy and clairsentience. He may also select Dispel Psionics. The empath's sole manifesting stat is Intelligence.

Social Maven: The empath gains a bonus to Charisma-based checks based on the amount of power points left in his reserve - between 1 and 15 power points gives a +1 bonus, between 16 and 30 gives a +2 bonus, between 31 and 45 gives a +3 bonus, and more than 46 gives the maximum of a +4 bonus.

Inner Peace: At 2nd level, the empath becomes immune to morale penalties, and gains a +4 bonus to saves against fear and mind-affecting spells or abilities.

Secrets of the Mind: At 4th level, the empath gains an untyped +2 bonus to Diplomacy and Knowledge (psionics) checks.

Telepathy: At 5th level, the empath gains a limited form of telepathy out to 60 feet, which can be activated as a free action.

Capstone PLA: At 6th level, the empath gains the ability to manifest a particular power as a psi-like ability 1/day, as appropriate for his archetype.

Archetypes:

Abhorrent

Bonus Powers
1st: Unearthly Terror
2nd: Aversion
3rd: Induce Phobia
Capstone PLA: Death Urge

Lesser Archetype Power: Any fear effect cast upon an abhorrent is reflected back against the originator of the effect. In addition, an abhorrent gains a bonus on saves against Fear equal to his Charisma modifier.
Moderate Archetype Power: While psionically focused, fear effects caused by an abhorrent are one step greater - shaken foes are frightened, frightened foes are panicked, and panicked foes are so insensate with fear that they fall unconscious.
Greater Archetype Power: An abhorrent may expend psionic focus to ignore an opponent's immunity to fear for one round.

Mentalist

Bonus Powers
1st: Psionic Charm
2nd: Psionic Suggestion
3rd: False Sensory Input
Capstone PLA: Psionic Dominate

Lesser Archetype Power: A mentalist does not need to make an opposed Charisma check to convince a charmed target to complete dangerous tasks, nor do targets receive the standard +5 bonus to the save if attacked or threatened. Charmed targets will still refuse to carry out blatantly suicidal orders.
Moderate Archetype Power: A mentalist may expend psionic focus to affect one additional target (within 15 feet of the original) with any power of the telepathy school.
Greater Archetype Power: As long as a mentalist is psionically focused, he is immune to charm, compulsion, and possession, and gains a +4 bonus to saves against spells from the Enchantment or Illusion schools or powers from the Telepathy discipline.

Precognitive

Bonus Powers
1st: Precognition
2nd: Clairvoyant Sense
3rd: Eradicate Invisibility
Capstone PLA: Remote Viewing

Lesser Archetype Power: A precognitive may expend psionic focus to roll twice for initiative and takes the better of the two results.
Moderate Archetype Power: While psionically focused, a precognitive becomes instantly aware of hidden, incorporeal, or invisible creatures that come within 30 feet of him - this ability does not allow him to pinpoint their location, just their presence and number.
Greater Archetype Power: A precognitive may never be surprised - he may not be caught flat-footed and always acts in the surprise round. In addition, a precognitive may no longer be flanked.

Superegoist

Bonus Powers
1st: Skills as One
2nd: Sense as One
3rd: Strike as One
Capstone PLA: Schism

Lesser Archetype Power: All allies adjacent to a superegoist are aware of any danger that one of them is aware of - none of them may be flanked or caught flat-footed unless all of them are.
Moderate Archetype Power: A superegoist may expend psionic focus to affect one intelligent adjacent ally per two levels (to a maximum of three) with a power that normally has a range of personal, in addition to himself.
Greater Archetype Power: While psionically focused, a superegoist's powers cost one less power point for every two intelligent allies adjacent to him (minimum of zero). This may not reduce a power's cost to less than one, nor does it allow him to augment powers higher than his manifester level.

Walker

Bonus Powers
1st: Psionic Sleep (as the spell, though augmentable - each PP spent increases the HD cap by one)
2nd: Waking Dreams (MoE)
3rd: Forced Dream (MoE)
Capstone PLA: Psionic Modify Memory

Lesser Archetype Power: A walker is immune to sleep effects and no longer requires a good night's sleep to rest and refresh power points - he may make do with half the normal sleep, requiring only four hours as a human, for example.
Moderate Archetype Power: While psionically focused, any power of the telepathy discipline a walker manifests targeting an opponent who is dazed, stunned, or asleep is irresistable.
Greater Archetype Power: A walker may expend psionic focus to leave his body and enter a dream state for a number of rounds equal to his Charisma modifier. While in a dream state, the walker is incorporeal, invisible, and invulnerable but may not influence his physical environment or attack in any way. Once the duration runs out, the walker is immediately returned to his body.

Proficiencies: The esoteric is proficient with light armor, medium armor, heavy armor, shields (except tower shields), and simple weapons.

Archetype: At 1st level, the esoteric chooses an archetype from the following list, each of which conveys a certain set of advantages and abilities. Once chosen, this cannot be changed or reversed. Each archetype has a Lesser power, a Moderate power, a Greater power associated with it, which the esoteric receives at 1st, 3rd, and 6th level, respectively. Each archetype also adds bonus powers known, which are listed below and are received when the esoteric is capable of manifesting powers of the same level.

Manifesting: The esoteric manifests powers as a psion does. He is restricted to powers on the general psion/wilder list in the disciplines of psychometabolism and clairsentience, as well as powers from his mantles or nodes. He may also select Dispel Psionics or Solicit Psicrystal. The esoteric's sole manifesting stat is Wisdom.

Mantle of Ideals: At 1st level, an esoteric gains access to two mantles or nodes of his choice, and gains their granted abilities. When selecting new powers to learn, he may choose from powers on those lists.

Personal Mantra: At 2nd level, the esoteric gains the ability to gain psionic focus as a swift action.

Unlock the Self: At 4th level, the esoteric gains an untyped +2 bonus to Concentration and Autohypnosis checks.

Deep Trance: At 5th level, the esoteric is no longer required to expend psionic focus to apply a metapsionic feat to a power.

Capstone PLA: At 6th level, the esoteric gains the ability to manifest a particular power as a psi-like ability 1/day, as appropriate for his archetype. His manifester level is equal to his hit dice, and the DC of the power, if applicable, is equal to 10 + 1/2 his hit dice + his Wisdom modifier.

Archetypes:

Anchorite

Bonus Powers
1st: Mending Touch
2nd: Body Adjustment
3rd: Body Purification
Capstone PLA: Stygian Ward (CP)

Lesser Archetype Power: An anchorite may manifest powers with a range of personal at a range of touch. In addition, any beneficial powers manifested by an anchorite heal a number of hit points equal to their effective power level, in addition to any other effects.
Moderate Archetype Power: While an anchorite is psionically focused, any powers he manifests that restore hit points have their final effects doubled. The amount of extra healing added by an anchorite's lesser archetype ability is now equal to twice the power's effective level.
Greater Archetype Power: An anchorite may expend his psionic focus to remove one of the following conditions from an ally with a touch: confused, dazed, nauseated, sickened, shaken, or stunned.

Apostate

Bonus Powers
1st: Hungry Touch (CP)
2nd: Claws of Darkness (CP)
3rd: Crisis of Breath
Capstone PLA: Shadow Eft (CP)

Lesser Archetype Power: An apostate gains the ability to use a beam of disruptive psionic energy as a ranged touch attack, with a range of 60 feet. Alternately, an apostate may channel this as part of a melee attack. This ability deals 1d6 untyped damage (if channeled, this damage is in addition to whatever melee damage is caused). At 4th level, the damage increases to 2d6, and at 6th, it increases to 3d6.
Moderate Archetype Power: While psionically focused, an apostate becomes immune to negative energy damage and fear. In addition, his beam now heals the apostate for whatever damage is done - this cannot heal the apostate higher than his normal maximum total of hit points.
Greater Archetype Power: An apostate may expend psionic focus to have his beam ability instead do damage in a ten-foot radius from the target, either as a ranged touch attack or as part of a melee attack. The attack must still hit the original target to function.

Demiurge

Bonus Powers
1st: Minor Psionic Creation
2nd: Dissolving Touch
3rd: Ectoplasmic Form
Capstone PLA: Psionic Fabricate

Lesser Archetype Power: A demiurge's equipment (and psicrystal, if he has one) is immune to being sundered or otherwise destroyed, unless he wishes it to be so.
Moderate Archetype Power: While psionically focused, a demiurge can either increase or decrease the hardness of an object by an amount equal to his class level by touching it. The shift in hardness lasts a number of minutes equal to the demiurge's Wisdom modifier. This power may not reduce an object's hardness below zero.
Greater Archetype Power: A demiurge may expend psionic focus to manifest any power with an [energy] descriptor or of the metacreativity discipline as a swift action.

Sympathetic

Bonus Powers
1st: Mindlink
2nd: Empathic Transfer
3rd: Hostile Empathic Transfer
Capstone PLA: Empathic Feedback

Lesser Archetype Power: If a sympathetic is within 30 feet of a cure spell or any other targeted effect that restores hit points, the sympathetic receives the benefits of the effect, even if he was not the original target.
Moderate Archetype Power: Whenever a sympathetic takes damage from an opponent while psionically focused, half of the damage inflicted (rounded down, before any damage reduction) is reflected back against the attacker. This reflected damage bypasses all damage reduction. Damage taken from environmental hazards, traps, or otherwise passive sources is not reflected, nor is any sort of "friendly fire."
Greater Archetype Power: Whenever a sympathetic reflects damage using its Moderate Archetype Power, he may expend psionic focus to inflict the damage reflected to all opponents within 30 feet of the sympathetic.

Transcendent

Bonus Powers
1st: Thicken Skin
2nd: Animal Affinity
3rd: Physical Acceleration
Capstone PLA: Inertial Barrier

Lesser Archetype Power: Psionic feats that require a transcendent to maintain psionic focus to gain their benefit (such as Psionic Dodge or Speed of Thought) have their numerical effects doubled.
Moderate Archetype Power: A transcendent may expend psionic focus as an immediate action to immediately negate the effect of any single mind-affecting spell, power, or ability that he is afflicted with. He may not do so if he is unconscious or otherwise mentally unaware, but he may preempt an effect that is about to put him in such a state with this ability.
Greater Archetype Power: While psionically focused, a transcendent is healed for a number of hit points equal to his Wisdom modifier every time he successfully attacks a target in melee. This ability does not allow him to surpass his normal maximum.

Proficiencies: The kinetic is proficient with light armor and simple weapons.

Archetype Power: At 1st level, the kinetic chooses an archetype from the following list, each of which conveys a certain set of advantages and abilities. Once chosen, this cannot be changed or reversed. Each archetype has a Lesser power, a Moderate power, a Greater power associated with it, which the kinetic receives at 1st, 3rd, and 6th level, respectively. Each archetype also adds bonus powers known, which are listed below and are received when the kinetic becomes capable of manifesting powers of the same level.

Manifesting: The kinetic manifests powers as a psion does. He is restricted to powers on the general psion/wilder list in the disciplines of metacreativity, psychokinesis, and psychoportation. He may also select Detect Psionics or Solicit Psicrystal. The kinetic's sole manifesting stat is Intelligence.

(In)Constant Companion: At 1st level, the kinetic gains Psicrystal Affinity as a bonus feat. At the beginning of each day, he may select a new personality for his psicrystal. If he chooses the Sage personality, the choice of Knowledge skill is not permanent - he may change that at the start of each day as well.

Focused Student: At 2nd level, the kinetic selects one of the following abilities.

Fire and Ice: The damage of any psychokinesis power is increased by one die, and the save DC (if applicable) is increased by one.

Shape and Form: The duration of any metacreativity power is doubled, and the hardness of any objects created by a metacreativity power is increased by 50%.

Space and Time: The range and weight limits of any psychoportation powers are doubled.

Psionic Knack: At 4th level, the kinetic gains an untyped +2 bonus to Psicraft and Use Psionic Device.

Energetic Efficiency: At 5th level, the kinetic reduces the extra power point cost associated with metapsionic feats by 2, to a minimum of 0.

Capstone PLA: At 6th level, the kinetic gains the ability to manifest a particular power as a psi-like ability 1/day, as appropriate for his archetype. His manifester level is equal to his hit dice, and the DC of the power, if applicable, is equal to 10 + 1/2 his hit dice + his Intelligence modifier.

Archetypes:

Architect

Bonus Powers
1st: Astral Construct
2nd: Psionic Repair Damage
3rd: Ectoskeleton
Capstone PLA: Wall of Ectoplasm

Lesser Archetype Power: Astral constructs under an architect's control gain a +2 bonus to hit points per hit die, and a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls. In addition, he may manifest the astral construct power as a standard action.
Moderate Archetype Power: While psionically focused, an architect may share senses with any construct within 10 feet per level. He may manifest powers from that construct's space as if he occupied it for the purposes of determining range, origin square, and line of sight and effect. He may also use powers with a range of personal on that construct.
Greater Archetype Power: By expending psionic focus, an architect may add +1 to his effective manifester level when manifesting Astral Construct, allowing him to summon 4th-level constructs.

Energist

Bonus Powers
1st: Energy Ray
2nd: Energy Missile
3rd: Energy Cone
Capstone PLA: Energy Ball

Lesser Archetype Power: When manifesting a power that allows an energist to select an energy type (fire, cold, electricity, or sonic), the energist may also select acid or force. Acid damage does extra damage equal to the number of damage dice rolled for 3 rounds after it successfully hits a foe (so a power that caused 3d6 acid damage would do 3 acid damage for the next three rounds), but a successful save against the original power negates the recurring damage. Force damage reduces the damage die by one step, but ignores all damage reduction, cover, and concealment (except total cover or concealment).
Moderate Archetype Power: While psionically focused, an energist gains resistance 5 to all elemental damage types he is capable of utilizing - acid, cold, electricity, fire, force, and sonic.
Greater Archetype Power: By expending psionic focus, an energist can cause any damaging power he manifests to recur the following round, doing half its original damage (rounded down) to any and all targets it successfully afflicts in the original round. If there was a save for half damage originally, the recurrence also offers a save for half damage.

Gravitic

Bonus Powers
1st: Stomp
2nd: Gravitational Well
3rd: Baleful Compression
Capstone PLA: Rending Rift

Lesser Archetype Power: A gravitic reduces the speed of all opponents within 60 feet by 10 feet (to a minimum of 5 feet). This ability does not stack with that of other gravitics.
Moderate Archetype Power: While psionically focused, all squares within 15 feet of a gravitic are treated as difficult terrain for opponents.
Greater Archetype Power: A gravitic may expend psionic focus to deny one opponent within 60 feet the ability to move for one round. The affected creature may make a Fortitude save (equal to 10 + 1/2 the gravitic's HD + the gravitic's Intelligence modifier), in which case it may still move but at half its normal rate (the gravitic's lesser archetype power is applied first, before the halving). Flying opponents affected may no longer fly, but descend in a controlled fall at a rate of 60 feet per round and take no falling damage.

Telephasm

Bonus Powers
1st: Control Object
2nd: Control Air
3rd: Skeletal Vibration
Capstone PLA: Control Body

Lesser Archetype Power: Powers manifested by a telephasm that do physical or force damage receives a +1 bonus to their damage per damage die.
Moderate Archetype Power: A telephasm may expend psionic focus to release a wave of psionic energy - all opponents within five feet must make a Reflex save (DC equal to 10 + 1/2 the telephasm's HD + the telephasm's Intelligence modifier) or be knocked prone and pushed ten feet away from the telekinetic. If the path is blocked or they are otherwise unable to move in such a direction, they take 1d6 bludgeoning damage for each square they were unable to move.
Greater Archetype Power: While a telephasm is psionically focused, opponents must make a Fortitude save to step into a square adjacent to a telephasm. The DC is equal to 10 + 1/2 the telephasm's HD + the telephasm's Intelligence modifier. Even if they save, the square is considered difficult terrain.

Transmigrant

Bonus Powers
1st: Dimension Hop (CP)
2nd: Dimension Swap
3rd: Psionic Blink
Capstone PLA: Psionic Fly

Lesser Archetype Power: A transmigrant increases the speed of all allies (including himself) within 60 feet by 10 feet, and allows them to hustle for two hours or march for twelve hours before taking non-lethal damage or requiring Constitution checks. This ability does not stack with that of other transmigrants.
Moderate Archetype Power: A transmigrant may expend psionic focus as an swift action to instantly teleport up to his move speed in any direction, provided he has line of effect to the destination.
Greater Archetype Power: A transmigrant may levitate at will while psionically focused, normally hovering a foot off the ground. While levitating, the transmigrant may move his speed horizontally (vertical movement is limited to 10 feet per round) and perform actions normally. Unlike similar abilities, a transmigrant does not take penalties to attack rolls while levitating. If the transmigrant loses psionic focus, he instantly begins to fall.

Proficiencies: The subliminal is proficient with light armor and bucklers, as well as simple weapons. The subliminal is also proficient with the hand crossbow, the rapier, the longsword, the shortsword, the shortbow, and the sap.

Archetype Power: At 1st level, the subliminal chooses an archetype from the following list, each of which conveys a certain set of advantages and abilities. Once chosen, this cannot be changed or reversed. Each archetype has a Lesser power, a Moderate power, a Greater power, and a Capstone PLA associated with it, which the subliminal receives at 1st, 3rd, and 6th level, respectively. Each archetype also adds bonus powers known, which become available once the subliminal is capable of manifesting powers of the same level.

Manifesting: The subliminal manifests powers as a psychic warrior does, albeit from a specialized list included below. The subliminal's sole manifesting stat is Intelligence.

Trapfinding: As the scoundrel ability.

Sneak Attack: At 1st level, if the subliminal can catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from her attack, he can strike a vital spot for extra damage. The subliminal's attack deals extra damage any time her target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not), or when the subliminal flanks his target. This extra damage is 1d6 at 1st level, and it increases by 1d6 every three subliminal levels thereafter. Should the subliminal score a critical hit with a sneak attack, this extra damage is not multiplied. Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks only if the target is within 30 feet. With a sap (blackjack) or an unarmed strike, the subliminal can make a sneak attack that deals nonlethal damage instead of lethal damage. He cannot use a weapon that deals lethal damage to deal nonlethal damage in a sneak attack, not even with the usual -4 penalty. The subliminal may sneak attack non-living creatures, ones without discernible anatomies, or ones immune to critical hits, but his sneak attack damage is halved while doing so. The subliminal must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. The subliminal cannot sneak attack while striking a creature with concealment or striking the limbs of a creature whose vitals are beyond reach.

Collective Unconscious: At 2nd level, the subliminal gains a +1 bonus to the DC and a +1 bonus to manifester level checks to overcome power resistance of all powers manifested against opponents who are denied their Dexterity bonus to their armor class.

Microkinesis: At 4th level, the subliminal gains the ability to manipulate small mechanisms and machinery telekinetically, allowing him to perform Disable Device or Open Lock checks from up to thirty feet away. He no longer takes a penalty for not having the appropriate tools.

Blind Spot: At 5th level, the subliminal may expend psionic focus as a swift action (even though expending psionic focus does not normally require an action) to deny an opponent within sneak attack range his Dexterity bonus to AC for one round. The opponent is only denied his Dexterity bonus to AC against the subliminal.

Capstone PLA: At 6th level, the subliminal gains the ability to manifest a particular power as a psi-like ability 1/day, as appropriate for his archetype. His manifester level is equal to his hit dice, and the DC of the power, if applicable, is equal to 10 + 1/2 his hit dice + his Intelligence modifier.

Archetypes:

Deadmind

Bonus Powers
1st: Mind Thrust
2nd: Inflict Pain
Capstone PLA: Crisis of Breath

Lesser Archetype Power: A deadmind rolls twice to save against any hostile mind-affecting spell, power, or effect, and takes the higher of the two rolls as his result. If the effect offers a save for half, he instead takes no damage on a successful save. If he successfully saves, the originator of the effect takes damage equal to five times the effective level of the effect. This damage is empathic in nature and cannot be reduced by damage reduction.
Moderate Archetype Power: While psionically focused, a deadmind may project an aura of mental silence - within 30 feet, telepathy, spells and powers that read thoughts or detect hostile intent, and feats or abilities that detect opponents based on their Intelligence score (such as mindsight) do not function for opponents (the deadmind himself may function as normal). Scrying attempts, whether spell- or power-based, function as normal but the deadmind does not appear in them in any fashion. A deadmind may activate and deactivate this aura as a free action as long as he remains psionically focused.
Greater Archetype Power: A deadmind who successfully sneak attacks an opponent may opt to give up his sneak attack damage to instead deal 2 points of ability damage to one of his opponent's mental ability scores.

Operative

Bonus Powers
1st: Psionic Charm
2nd: Id Insinuation
Capstone PLA: False Sensory Input

Lesser Archetype Power: An operative may subtly alter the perception of himself in others' minds as a full-round action. This ability functions in many ways like the Disguise Self spell, offering the operative a +10 bonus on Disguise checks and the ability to change his appearance, but because it affects that perception of others and is not an illusion, creatures that interact with it do not receive a Will save to detect it, though True Seeing reveals the operative's real appearance.
Moderate Archetype Power: While psionically focused, all Spot and Listen checks made to detect an operative take a -10 penalty, and he may hide in plain sight as long as he has a sizable crowd to slip into. If an opponent is searching specifically for him, and knows exactly what he looks like, the penalties do not apply.
Greater Archetype Power: An operative gains the ability to psionically phase through solid objects. As a full-round action, an operative may move up to his speed through walls, doors, and other solid objects. He may not, however, phase through any object with a hardness of 10 or greater. Alternatively, he may phase only parts of his body to reach inside chests or stick his head through a ceiling, but he may not allow objects he touches to phase. If an operative ends his movement still embedded within a solid object, he is shunted to his original position and takes 1d6 damage per five feet moved.

Razor

Bonus Powers
1st: Metaphysical Weapon
2nd: Dissolving Weapon
Capstone PLA: Psionic Keen Edge

Lesser Archetype Power: A razor gains a bonus on total sneak attack damage equal to his Intelligence modifier. On a critical hit, this bonus is doubled.
Moderate Archetype Power: If a razor successfully connects with an attack that threatens a critical hit, it is automatically confirmed - no second attack roll is necessary.
Greater Archetype Power: While a razor is psionically focused, his sneak attack damage increases to +3d6 and all ones he rolls for sneak attack damage are instead treated as twos.

Trueshot

Bonus Powers
1st: Trick Shot
2nd: Ephemeral Bolt
Capstone PLA: The Arrow Knows the Way

Lesser Archetype Power: A trueshot gains the ability to form and fire mind arrows as a free action as part of an attack - treat these as arrows shot from a shortbow appropriate for the trueshot's size, using the trueshot's Dexterity modifier to determine attack bonus and doing 1d6 piercing damage with a 20/x3 critical modifier. They ignore material-based damage reduction, have a range increment of 60 feet, and deal extra damage equal to the trueshot's Intelligence modifier.
Moderate Archetype Power: A trueshot may sneak attack at ranges up to 60 feet. In addition, his mind arrows now possess a +1 enhancement bonus to attack and damage rolls, and overcome damage reduction as if they were magic.
Greater Archetype Power: While psionically focused, a trueshot may apply an enchantment of up to a +1 enhancement bonus value to his mind arrows. This enchantment is chosen at the beginning of the day, and may be changed by spending five minutes in meditation.

Untouchable

Bonus Powers
1st: Compression
2nd: Dimension Swap (as psychic warrior)
Capstone PLA: Greater Concealing Amorpha

Lesser Archetype Power: An untouchable gains Evasion and a bonus equal to half his level (minimum of one) to Reflex saves against traps and to armor class against the attacks of traps. The bonus to armor class is considered a dodge bonus.
Moderate Archetype Power: When making any Reflex save or any save against a trap, an untouchable may roll twice and take the higher of the two rolls. If the trap uses an attack roll instead, the attack is rolled twice and the lower of the two is used.
Greater Archetype Power: While psionically focused, an untouchable possesses 20% concealment.

Proficiencies: The dragon is proficient with no weapons and no armor, other than his own natural attacks.

Racial Traits: The dragon is both a class and a race (i.e, if you select this class, you may not select a race other than the dragon listed below). This class may only be taken at 1st level, though the dragon may multiclass out of it if desired. The dragon is a medium-sized quadruped of the dragon type. It possesses a 30 foot base land speed, darkvision out to 60', lowlight vision, and a racial immunity to paralysis and magic sleep effects. It has a +2 racial bonus to Constitution, and selects one of the following bloodlines, which give it a second attribute bonus, determine the type of damage that its breath weapon does, and add three additional class skills.

Black: +2 Dexterity, acid damage; Hide, Move Silently, Swim.
Blue: +2 Intelligence, electricity damage; Bluff, Hide, Spellcraft.
Brass: +2 Dexterity, fire damage; Bluff, Gather Information, Survival.
Bronze: +2 Strength, electricity damage; Disguise, Swim, Survival.
Copper: +2 Intelligence, acid damage; Bluff, Hide, Jump.
Gold: +2 Charisma, fire damage; Disguise, Heal, Swim.
Green +2 Wisdom, acid damage; Bluff, Hide, Move Silently.
Red: +2 Charisma, fire damage; Appraise, Bluff, Jump.
Silver: +2 Wisdom, cold damage; Bluff, Disguise, Jump.
White: +2 Strength, cold damage; Hide, Move Silently, Swim.

In addition to the above racial modifiers, the dragon possesses a single bite attack at 1d8 piercing damage. At 3rd level, he gains two claw attacks at 1d6 piercing damage. At 5th level, he gains a tail slap attack at 1d8 bludgeoning damage. The dragon also gains a bonus to natural armor equal to his hit dice.

Breath Weapon: The dragon receives a breath weapon that does 1d6 damage for every hit dice he has in either a 15 foot cone or a 30 foot line. A successful Reflex save halves the damage, with the DC equal to 10 + 1/2 the dragon's hit dice + the dragon's Constitution modifier. Once used, he must wait 1d4 rounds before using it again.

Dragon Magic: The dragon casts arcane spells as a sorcerer of two-thirds his level (minimum of one). However, he must choose one of the five mage classes (Black, Blue, Green, Red, and White), and may only learn spells off of the spell list of the mage he chooses. He may not select spells given as bonus spells by archetypes.

Weathered Hide: The dragon gains damage reduction 5/magic, and gains resistance 10 to the same energy type that its breath weapon deals.

Take Flight: The dragon gains a 30 foot fly speed with average maneuverability.

Shimmering Scales: The dragon gains spell resistance 15.

Archetypes

Ascendant

Moderate: An ascendant may now turn or rebuke undead as a cleric of his level. He may do so a number of times per day equal to 3 + his Charisma modifier.
Greater: An ascendant gains a bonus equal to his Charisma modifier (if positive) on all saving throws, and may smite an enemy once per encounter with a normal melee attack. The smite attack gains a bonus equal to the ascendant's Charisma modifier, and deals additional damage equal to the ascendant's level if it connects.

Fundamental

Lesser: A fundamental's rolls d8s for his breath weapon rather than d6s, and gains a +2 bonus to its DC.
Moderate: A fundamental gains a 10 foot bonus to his base land speed. Once he becomes capable of flight, his flight speed increases by 10 feet and his maneuverability increases to good.
Greater: A fundamental's Weathered Hide ability now conveys immunity to the element instead of resistance 10. His Shimmering Scales ability conveys spell resistance 17 instead of 15.

Loredrake

Lesser: A loredrake gains a single bonus feat, which must be either a metamagic feat, an item creation feat, or a spell focus. A loredrake adds Decipher Script and Spellcraft to his list of class skills.

Greater: A loredrake's caster level is equal to his full level, rather than two-thirds.

Greater: A scaled stalker's natural armor bonus is now considered a deflection bonus. His Scent range doubles and he gains the Swift Tracker ability of an 8th-level ranger.

War Wyrm

Lesser: The natural weapons of a war wyrm do damage as if he was one size larger than he actually is. He may add Climb, Jump, and Swim to his list of class skills.
Moderate: A war wyrm gains a bonus fighter feat, and qualifies for feats as if he was a fighter of his own level. Every 24 hours, he may change this bonus feat to any other fighter feat for which he qualifies.

Archetypes

Adept
Lesser: An adept gains the ability to spontaneously cast a small amount of spells, chosen from one mage class's list (not including spells offered by archetypes). He does not need to prepare his spells, and knows all spells on his chosen list that he is capable of casting. He uses the same casting ability (Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma) as the class he chose, and his spells are considered either divine or arcane depending on the spell list he chooses (arcane for Black, Red, and Blue; divine for White and Green), and his caster level is equal to his level. Initially, he may only cast one first-level spell, plus any bonus spells given by having a positive modifier in his casting stat. The DC of a spell, if applicable, is equal to 10 + his casting stat's modifier + the level of the spell. He also gains the services of a familiar as if he were a wizard or sorcerer of the same level and a bonus on Will saves equal to half his level (minimum of 1).
Moderate: An adept may now cast second-level spells - he may cast one per day, plus whatever bonuses given by his casting stat. He also gains Brew Potion as a bonus feat.
Greater: An adept may now cast third-level spells - he may cast one per day, but does not receive bonus spells based on his casting stat. He also gains Craft Wand as a bonus feat.

Expert
Lesser: An expert may choose ten skills. These skills are forever treated as class skills. In addition, the expert's skills points per level increases to six - this change is retroactive and so gives the appropriate bonuses for past, present, and future levels. The expert also gains proficiency with light armor and simple weapons.
Moderate: An expert may take 10 on the ten skills he chose at 2nd level, even if distracted or endangered.
Greater: When an expert takes 20 on any skill, he adds a +5 competence bonus to the final result. In addition, when taking 10 on a check, he treats the result of the roll as a 15 instead.

Magewright:
Lesser: A magewright gains Use Magic Device as a class skill. A magewright may craft alchemical and magical items even though he is not a spellcaster. His effective caster level for the purposes of crafting is equal to his class level. Though he does not know any spells, he may mimic the required spell when crafting an item by making a Use Magic Device check (with the DC equal to 15 + the level of the spell in question). If the check is successful, the spell is considered supplied. The check need only be made successfully once during the crafting period - the magewright is not required to mimic the spell each day. The magewright may not mimic spells above fourth level. A magewright also gains Scribe Scroll and Brew Potion as bonus feats.
Moderate: A magewright has the gold, experience, and time requirements of all crafting reduced by 25%. A magewright also gains Craft Wondrous Item and Craft Magic Arms and Armor as bonus feats.
Greater: A magewright's effective caster level for the purposes of crafting is increased by 50%, to a maximum of nine. A magewright gains Craft Wand as a bonus feat.

Warrior
Lesser: A warrior becomes proficient with all armor and shields, simple weapons, and martial weapons. He also gains a bonus to all attack rolls and Fortitude saves equal to half his hit dice (minimum of 1), and gains Intimidate as a class skill.
Moderate: A warrior gains a +2 bonus to hit points for each hit die he has. This bonus applies to each hit die, including those gained later. He also gains a +4 untyped bonus to all Spot and Listen checks.
Greater: A warrior may make one additional attack per round (as if his base attack bonus was +6/+1), and gains innate damage reduction of 3/-, even against non-housecat enemies.

I await the engineer with bated breath, as i do all technology based classes and subsystems...

[Eldest]

I may be using this entire thing for a group, if my 4e campaign falls through (fingers crossed it won't though). Nice work.

[Black_Zawisza]

I want to DM with E6 for my next campaign, but I don't find the first six levels of most D&D 3.5 classes particularly satisfying; too many dead levels and not enough cool class features. Not seeing that problem with your brew though! Can't wait to see what you come up with next.

[Othniel Edden]

Yay, the combat classes are starting!

[Ragingsystem]

This gives me brilliant Ideas for my own E6 write up that I have been working on a small amount, especially the archetypes idea that part is just awesome!

Bookmarked for future use. Really nice stuff i must say. Keep up the good work!

I wholeheartedly agree.

This however is a good point... I sort of wondered the same thing myself. I know you're trying to balance that by giving the non-casters more powerful class features, but... I dunno. The versatility of the casters is already vastly outshining the non-casters even in the first six levels.

More versatility, yes, but it looks like the spells are limited enough that that doesn't really give them more power. From the perspective of those who want to play non-casters so as to lack built in versatility everywhere, and not have to interface with the system as much, it seems fine.

Something to consider would be giving the Mages 2+Int skill points per level universally. The idea is, "they have spells for that," even the Blue Mage which seems particularly tricky, has a lot of utility spells. Instead of skill points and trapfinding just throw the Find Traps spell into it's spell list. Then, if all Mages have 2 sp, give the Combat Classes between 4 & 6 sp per level, and the Skilled Classes between 6 & 8 sp per level (as the class requires).

On top of that, if you were willing, you could then develop some more effective/expanded uses of the skills themselves. This way, non-casters, given more skills, automatically have additional out of combat options to help compare to the casters' wide repertoire of spells.

While the second idea is a bit out of my range at the moment, the first idea isn't bad - especially with the Blue Mage, who already has Int-based casting and so would be overflowing with skills anyway.

Realms of Chaos (I believe it was anyway) has written a whole swath of skill tricks. Perhaps you could borrow those and then remove the "learn one per level" and "use this trick only once per encounter" limitations on skill tricks?

That could have an easier solution than new skill tricks and more work. Just let non casters pick a pair of archetypes instead of 1, and have them take both abilities at the appropriate level. This way they still have 3 choices, but they get double the features.

I'm gonna have to watch this thread. I'm working on my own E6 variant (I call it "E6GU", but I'm not going to explain what that means until I start posting it when it's nearer to completion), and this thread just might be a valuable resource for inspiration toward that end. If I take much of anything, if anything, I'll be sure to mention you in credits/thanks.

Good luck in your endeavor!

I would rather increase the versatility and power of combat classes across the board rather than just have them double up on archetypes - archetypes, at least in my mind, are ways of customizing your character in both a fluff and crunch perspective. The more I think about it, the more I realize that my inspiration for them is actually 2E AD&D kits, what with their in-class customizability, and so I think that being able to pick two kind of defeats the purpose and uniqueness of each one. As it is, I think the vanguard and corsair are significantly more powerful than a fighter, knight, or swashbuckler of the same level would be, and I am decently happy with their balance. They might not quite measure up to the mages, but that tends to be a problem inherent with the spells system in general, and not one I am prepared to tackle at this stage in my homebrewing - I'm still pretty dang new at this.

Then what about some healing abilities for the vanguard, or some mobility options for the corsair. For example, the vanguard can heal his level x 5 times plus his ranks in heal by spending 10 mins and a use from a healer's kit. And the corsair getting getting a scaling bonus to balance, climb, swim, jump whenever he can take 10 on them. This way they don't get combat buffs but become more usefull outside of combat.

I think the vanguard being able to heal himself potentially 40 damage for ten minutes and 50 gp is a bit beyond the pale for the gritty, dangerous world of E6 (it seems a bit much for non-magical healing), but the core idea you're putting forth is worth considering.

I think once it reaches the 10 minutes or more mark, it really ceases to become a factor in terms of grittiness, since any time when the grittiness would be pressed they wouldn't have time to use that ability anyway.

Interesting classes so far.

Something to consider would be giving the Mages 2+Int skill points per level universally.

Step in the wrong direction, that. No class should have 2+int skill points without such a significant departure from the 3.5 skill system such that it is no longer recognizable as derived from such.

Last I checked, e6 hadn't really done that.

Just a quick heads up, these classes will eventually be intended to be used with a streamlined version of the skill system that I will introduce later (I suppose I should have mentioned this earlier!). Combining Hide/Move Silently, Spot/Listen, Climb/Jump/Swim, Disable Device/Open Lock, Balance/Tumble, et cetera.

The other option, should you choose to use 3.5 skill rules as written, is to give magic classes 4 SP/level, combat classes 6, and skilled classes 8.

That's your opinion and it's not likely to change, but we're talking about Mages here. They have spells that invalidate skills. Ergo, they don't need as many skill points per level.

Since we're discussing ways to help non-casters compare in utility with the casters, I don't see how giving the Mages few skill points and giving non-casters many more skill points is a step in the wrong direction.

Then how about instead of healing, it gives temporary hitpoints up to your maximum lasting for an hour per level? That way a vanguard can still fight for many fights, and still go to bed injured. I forgot to mention that he should be able of healing only once per person each day.

Name changes for practical purposes: the vanguard (meaning: the advance infantry in a fighting force, more appropriate for scouts and light skirmishers) has been changed to the sentinel, while the corsair (which apparently nobody liked) has been renamed the vanguard, a more appropriate name for its role.

The vanguard (as in, the old corsair) is still under heavy review and subject to drastic changes in the next couple of days.
