[PEACH] Dvati Race Rework/Conversion to PF

[Tsunamiatunzen1]

Broken, why? Shove your twin somewhere safe... and use the burn as much as you need. On second thoughts they would be losing any extra actions/benefits from the other twin so it might be fine.

Yeah I could see that becoming an issue for someone determined to cheese things with a parasitic style. They're supposed to work together, not feed off of one.
How about this?
Ability burn for a temporary increase but afterwards the one that got buffed takes the same amount of burn damage?
Not sure as of yet how long the boost should last. Constitution modifier? (Before any buffing)

Also, I revised the Living Phylactery to better fit what I thought it should be.

Hmm, I would say a reduced amount... maybe 1/2 so it can still give the boost (And tempt the player to take a lot) and then majorly backfire.

Also, I revised the Living Phylactery to better fit what I thought it should be.

This seems better.

[Tsunamiatunzen1]

O.K. How does this look? Took me a little while to get around to it but it should provide some options for someone that likes to take risks.

Lifeforce Transfusion (Su): Sometimes someone else needs your energy more than you do. You have developed the ability to strengthen the bond that binds you to your twin in order to bolster their own abilities at the cost of wearing down both of your bodies.
Requirements: Dvati & Mind Over Body
Benefit: As a Standard Action, one twin may take an amount of ability burn damage from Strength, Dexterity, and/or Constitution to bestow the other twin with a Racial Bonus to the same scores suffering from ability burn equal to half of the ability burn damage.
Alternatively, one twin may take an amount of nonlethal damage to provide half the amount of nonlethal damage as temporary hit points to the other twin.
The benefits of either choice last for a number of rounds equal to 1+ (original) Con. modifier. After which, the twin who received the benefits also takes the same amount of damage.
Damage taken from either choice cannot be healed via magical means and can only be healed naturally after a night's rest.

[Westhart]

I would say that's fine, however I would increase the duration to 2+ (new) con mod, similar to the barbarian rage, but it is good as is.

[Westhart]

So, are you done with this project, or are you going to make some more feats for it?

[Tsunamiatunzen1]

I'm still working on this, I've just had a bit of a rough time figuring out some new goodies since Teamwork feats already cover a lot of ground. However, I'm going to be adding some Style feats for those Dvati-fans that believe it should be 2 full attacks. I've actually got some of it right here. Also a bit of a niche ability that I thought would be interesting to put in.
I'm also going to be clarifying Attacks of Opportunity since I realized I hadn't covered that part of their action economy.
I also need to clarify what feats are Combat Feats.

Spoiler: Always Near (Sp)

Show

Some Dvati are not only close in their thoughts but are also rarely seen without the other due to their ability to appear by their twin at a moment's notice by infusing a bit of latent magic into their bond to pull them to their other half.
Requirements: Dvati & Character level 7th
Benefit: As a Full-Round action, one twin may appear in an adjacent square that is unoccupied as the Teleport spell with the following differences:
This has a range of 'personal' only, has a range of 100 miles, is considered Very Familiar if Innate Mindlink (Su) is active, and grappling or any restraints (mundane or magical) automatically thwart any attempts by the twin attempting to teleport.
This ability may be used a number of times per day equal to 1 + Cha. modifier (minimum 1/day)

Style Feats:
NOTE: All of these Style Feats follow the normal rules for Style feats and are also considered Combat Feats.

Divergent Combatants Style:
This style emphasizes each twin as an individual rather than as a whole by temporarily breaking the bond that holds them together. This is extremely disconcerting and usually causes the twins to become somewhat distant from each other... for a Dvati.

Spoiler: Shattered Bond

Show

Requirements: Dvati & BAB +6
Benefits: When both twins enter this style they may, as a free action, choose to become staggered for 1 round; shaken for 4 rounds; and lose access to Act As One (Ex), Innate Mindlink (Su), Pair Link, Spell Conductor, and may not initiate Teamwork feats using the other twin for 4 rounds. They must be capable of a full-round action in order to use this feat. At the beginning of their next turn, each twin may make a full attack, ignoring the usual restrictions on full-attacks. Afterwards, they are dazed for 1 round and then staggered for 1 round.
The conditions bestowed by this feat cannot be prevented or removed by magical means.

Spoiler: Partitioned Bond

Show

Requirements: Dvati & Shattered Bond
Benefits: Whenever the twins use Shattered Bond, they are not shaken and do not lose access to Act As One (Ex), Innate Mindlink (Su), Pair Link, Spell Conductor, and may initiate Teamwork feats using the other twin.

Spoiler: Reforged Bond

Show

Requirements: Dvati, Shattered Bond, Partitioned Bond, & BAB +11
Benefits: Whenever the twins use Shattered Bond; each twin may make a full attack instead of being staggered for 1 round first. They still suffer the penalties after they use Shattered Bond.
They may use Shattered Bond to cause one twin to become unaffected by any mind-affecting effect currently affecting both twins for 1 round by rolling against the original Will Save DC (This cannot be used to negate Shattered Bond's conditions). This may be done so long as they would be able to execute a full-round action if successful. Only one twin becomes unaffected and both twins are once again affected by any mind affecting effects if the duration has not expired or been dispelled.

Synchronized Combatants Style:
While others may work extremely well together, their teamwork pales in comparison to Dvati twins who know each other far more intimately than any other being alive. This style stems from the natural teamwork between the twins and emphasizes their very nature.

Spoiler: Synchronized Opportunity

Show

Requirement: Dvati
Benefit: Once per round, whenever a Dvati twin succeeds on an attack, the twin that attacked may take an aid another action as a free action to aid the other twin. This may be done even if it is not your turn.

Spoiler: Combat Duality

Show

Requirements: Dvati & Synchronized Combatants
Benefit: Once per round, whenever a twin would be targeted for an attack, the other twin may make an attack of opportunity against the attacking creature.
Additionally, whenever a twin would benefit from Synchronized Opportunity, they also gain +2 to their next attack against that enemy (if they chose to provide a bonus to AC) or +2 AC against that enemy's next attack (if they chose to provide a bonus to attack).

Spoiler: Flawless Teamwork

Show

Requirements: Dvati, Synchronized Combatants, Combat Duality, & BAB +6
Benefit: Once per round, whenever a Dvati twin makes an aid another check, they make take 10 on this check.
In addition, whenever a twin performs an aid another check for their twin, they deal extra damage equal to the bonus they received for their attack roll. This damage is not multiplied on a critical hit. The enemy also takes a penalty on their next damage roll against the twin that is benefitting from the aid another check equal to the bonus to AC being provided by the aid another check.
The damage bonuses and penalties do not apply if they take 10 on their aid another check.

Cool, oh, I remember what I was gonna ask... Would you be alright if I made a racial paragon class for this? (Not sure exactly what I would do honestly). Also, I would make them able to take Able learner.

Ouch... So you are staggered for round 1 (assuming the "become staggered for 1 round" starts as soon as the feat is activated) shaken for rounds 1-4, and lose access to a lot of abilities... Then round 2 you get 2 full attacks, then you are dazed for round 3, and staggered for round 4... thus losing what may have been 2 full attacks... This is worse then just full attacking with your Dvati... As is if you look at the actions under Dvati (Opening Post) you get a standard action for each... so uhm... I guess you are still going spellcaster if you play one...

-Partitioned Bond:
Requirements: Dvati & Shattered Bond
Benefits: Whenever the twins use Shattered Bond, they do not lose access to Act As One (Ex), Innate Mindlink (Su), Pair Link, Spell Conductor, and may initiate Teamwork feats using the other twin.

Still not that good, considering the penalties of the aforementioned feat... more of a feat tax if you take the feat then anything else...

-Reforged Bond:
Requirements: Dvati, Shattered Bond, Partitione Bond, & BAB +11
Benefits: Whenever the twins use Shattered Bond; each twin may make a full attack instead of being staggered for 1 round first and they do not become shaken. They still suffer the penalties after they use Shattered Bond.

Hmm, you still behind if you just split attacks...

Synchronized Combatants Style:

Additionally, whenever a twin would benefit from Synchronized Opportunity, they also gain +2 attack (if they chose to provide a bonus to AC) or +2 AC (if they chose to provide a bonus to attack).

I can't tell you what not to do so you can do it. I'm not entirely sure how it would work out though.

1. If I were to do Greater Teleport, I'd change it back to a 1/day ability but I really do not like 1/day stuff. It's extremely unlikely that this feat is going to be selected but I'd like there to be a possibility that they get landed into an unexpected situation should their link be cut. Greater Teleportation is a little too cut and dry for what I envisioned.

2. Divergent Combatants Style doesn't remove Dvati Casting. It still means that each twin needs to use up the same actions to cast anything. Thus spellcasting becomes an extremely poor choice under most circumstances with this Style Feat tree. I didn't want this to be a good trade since that's what puts off most DM's with this race. I'm even hesitant to go at a 1:1 ratio. I might redo that feat tree.

3. Yeah but you'd be missing out on the aid another check since what you're proposing relies on a ranged attack and unless they went into that Teamwork feat, aid another checks are limited to melee.
In other words, it works but you're missing out on most of this tree's power.

[Tsunamiatunzen1]

Thought it was important to put the Changelog up this time around.

10/17/17 Added Always Near, moved Synchronized Combatants to new Style Feat tree, and added two Style Feat Trees: Divergent Combatants & Synchronized Combatants. Also clarified Attacks of Opportunities and further clarified Full Attacks for Dvati.

Also, wondering if there is an existing way to allow others to use Racial Feats that an ally has. Otherwise, I think I know a good Teamwork feat to work on.

Honestly, these seem sort of... feat tax-y... I mean spell and blade lets you get a spell plus your other action... (Still not 2 spells), so making a RKV with one of these is nice, but making a straight melee? Less so... Seems like the race is more useful for gishing... I would condense it to 2 feats, or if you do the 3rd make them lose the penalties completely...

I'm not familiar with the term RKV and gish.
If I want to stay true to the Style Feats, it has to be 3. I'm still not entirely comfortable giving them what amounts to a spammable Greater Haste (3.5 only I found out) but perhaps I could do something a little toned down.

Only all right? Try making a true aid another build and you can keep buffing or nerfing someone's damage by +/- 10 or more. Evidently there are magic items that allow you to put the weapon's enhancement bonus towards the aid another bonus your ally receives.

Bold my own

1. Ugh, sorry. That was left over from something I started. It's just supposed to be half health.

2. This way, it will allow them to double up on the full attacks but they can't always avoid the inaction phase all the time. I might actually take it off of a dice roll since an extremely lucky player could use it quite frequently.

[Tsunamiatunzen1]

O.K. Cleaned it up and made the dice roll a flat number since it was kind of a wonky die anyways. This way it should be more consistent. Anyone who wants to double up on those full attacks can but it's not going to be a frequent event (Though it might be rather dramatic to say the least).

Let's just say that Lady Luck and I don't exactly have the best of working relationships... If I try to roll a bunch of dice, I somehow end up with 3 lemons. Double-headed coin and call heads? I'll lose the coin...

I would make reforged bond either 3 or 4 (leaning towards 3) rounds to wait, as 6 is a long wait... and you used a d3 originally. Although, that is my personal opinion, it still works as is.

Requirement:Dvati
Benefits: You may use Spell Conductor on any spell that is listed as harmless, not just touch range spells, and the spell need not have been cast by you.

Spoiler: Aided Casting (Metamagic)

Show

Requirement:Dvati & capable of casting 3rd-level spells
Benefits: When both twins spend their actions to cast a spell, they may make a caster check equal to 15 + level of the spell being cast. If they succeed, the spell is cast as normal but a spell slot 1 level lower (at least a 1st level spell slot) is expended instead. They may attempt this check a number of times per day equal to 1 + ability score modifier used to determine bonus spells.
This does not increase or decrease the spell level or its Save DC but it increases the casting time if the caster is a spontaneous caster.

[Westhart]

Aided casting needs something saying you can't cast spells of a level you can't access.

So it's come to my attention that there is still a way for this race to cast two spells at once. Intricate Spellcasting seems like one way to do it but I'd like some help in figuring out how else they could do so.

P.S. Also added Aided Casting to the list since I forgot to earlier.
