[3.5]Improved Monster Classes- Still Alive, and taking requests!

[Niezck]

At a glance, though, doesn't this allow too much frontloading of Cha?

Possibly, but when you consider how limited it is in other respects, I think it balances out.

I put all my points in Cha, then get some Cha boosting magic items for...

• HP
• Fort saves.
• Deflection bonus to AC
• Soul Blast Damage
• Bonus to incarnum abilities or duration for transforming.

Very true, except the last one, it doesn't really get any bonuses to incarnum stuff based on charisma. If you then consider that it can never wield any kind of weapon, carry anything, interact with any non-incarnum creature except by limiting itself in other ways and is also faced with the fact that it's a tiny ball of souls. Personally, I think it should have nice things to compensate for that.

You can cha-stack with it, sure but it's the most OoRP thing you can think of. I mean, a Soulspark Paladin? A Soulspark Sorcerer? Seems a bit crazy to me, but would still work mechanically I guess. Maybe I should just make Cha replace Con for purposes of HP OR the Fort save, not both?

If I wanted to abuse this, I could use a feat for Force of Personality; replace my Wis stat with Cha for will saves.

True, but that can be said for any cha-based class/race. Paladin + Force of Personality is just as bad.

Also, it's kind of weird that the Soulspark gets Diplomacy as a class skill when it can't really communicate until 6th level.

Well you can communicate, it's just more interesting than plain speech

Main reason for diplomacy was that it's listed in the monster entry.

EDIT: You're right, I should've specified. I was thinking of something like being able to absorb certain types of items? One waist, one chest, one head, one ring and one amulet or ring?

[Kobold-Bard]

Maybe use the Lantern Archon's item-bearing capabilities. It gets two slots (body & shoulders I believe) then may use more if it gets crafted into orbs that float aound it for double the cost.

Obviously yours would get a hand or arm slot while it's Soul Limb is manifested.

[Gorgondantess]

The highlighted is not really considered core nor OGL. So why would that be allowed and MoI not?

I meant to use them as inspiration. I honestly don't know if Archivist is OGL or whatever, but that didn't stop me from giving it to the Marrutact.

My vote goes for the 5-level PrC too. If nothing else, 99.9% of DMs I know play with swift/immediate as they're considered base rules but only a very small percentage (<10%) use fractional BAB/saves unless it's gestalt. So by taking the template 5 times you're essentially uber-boosting saves.

Really? I've met one DM who was against fractional BAB/saves, and that was Voldem-err, Oslecamo.

Also, just an idea, perhaps give it access to more powerful abilities depending on what level it's on? Say, it gets access to the lower tier abilities at level 1-2, moderate at 3-4 and the uber awesome ones at 5?

I'm just going to keep what I have for 1-4 and then give it a choice of a capstone, or 2 from the 1-4 abilities.
Really, though, if we're going for consistency, I should just make it one level long as it's a +1 CR class.

Oh and I'll update the Soulspark with a non-MoI ability shortly. I'm not entirely sure what to do about it though, since I'd like it to get effective Incarnate levels but can't, so maybe something like "It gains X ability or an effective Incanate level equal to its HD-2" to allow for people both with and without the MoI book?

Yeppers!

Wow, I've missed a lot since dropping out of an earlier thread.

Not sure how to get back into the swing of things. Two threads to read through & hard to track what's already been done.

If anyone wants input, let me know. In the meantime, assuming nobody's stepped in & finished them, I might finish the Giants.

...The giants were unfinished? Or do you mean you're going to do cloud and storm giant n'stuff? If the latter, great to have you back.

At a glance, though, doesn't this allow too much frontloading of Cha?

I put all my points in Cha, then get some Cha boosting magic items for...

• HP
• Fort saves.
• Deflection bonus to AC
• Soul Blast Damage
• Bonus to incarnum abilities or duration for transforming.

If I wanted to abuse this, I could use a feat for Force of Personality; replace my Wis stat with Cha for will saves.

It's kind of weird that the Soulspark gets Diplomacy as a class skill when it can't really communicate until 6th level.

Also, can't help but wonder - could you elaborate on the magic item slots a soulspark has available to it? The lack of a body could be particularly crippling, given the importance of gear to PCs.

I agree with the above.

Possibly, but when you consider how limited it is in other respects, I think it balances out.

Not necessarily- being very limited in one respect and uber in another doesn't equal balanced, it equals broken.

If you then consider that it can never wield any kind of weapon

Not a problem.

carry anything

Easily bypassed with a magic item costing less than 1000 gp.

interact with any non-incarnum creature except by limiting itself in other ways and is also faced with the fact that it's a tiny ball of souls. Personally, I think it should have nice things to compensate for that.

The problem isn't that it's getting nice things, the problem is that the things it are getting are... well, weird. You're essentially forcing it to pump charisma- the higher the charisma, the more powerful it is, the lower the charisma... well, it sortof sucks. Nice things doesn't mean charisma to a bunch of abilities.

You can cha-stack with it, sure but it's the most OoRP thing you can think of. I mean, a Soulspark Paladin? A Soulspark Sorcerer? Seems a bit crazy to me, but would still work mechanically I guess. Maybe I should just make Cha replace Con for purposes of HP OR the Fort save, not both?

I'd say neither. Let it have a constitution score, unless it didn't in the original monster. Incorporeal creatures can have constitution scores, y'know- the only things that don't are undead & constructs. Constitution doesn't necessarily mean "physically tough, thick hided, healthy"- that's like saying charisma is physical attractiveness.

True, but that can be said for any cha-based class/race. Paladin + Force of Personality is just as bad.

Eh, not necessarily. That's saves right there, and once a day an attack, compared to HP & AC & ALL attacks.

All that being said, let's go for a blow-by-blow review:
Soulspark:
[spoiler]Well, first things first, the raw stats... Well, as stated, I wouldn't give it diplomacy. Also, I see no reason why it should have full BAB- it's hardly a martial type, now, is it?
Now, for first level... well, that's just kindof silly. Remember how we're supposed to alter things for playability? Well, if a wyvern & displacer beast can talk, so can this. Go ahead and give it your telepathy, and let it talk with everyone. Please. It won't make things unbalanced, it'll just make everything easier on everyone.
Otherwise, looks OK.
Soul blast looks good- I like the scaling, and the iteratives. I'd change the wording to something like "can make iterative attacks as if it were a manufactured weapon".
For alignment, does a soulspark have to be neutral, or can it choose its own alignment then choose its alignment ability? Clarify, please.
Ability score increases... bluh. I hate odd modifiers. Why don't you give +1 to a score at each level, and at 7th give +1 to both scores? Rounds things off nicely.
On incarnum shroud, thanks for giving an overview on how to use essentia for those who don't have MoI. However, the problem there is that until 4th level, it can only expend half of its essentia pool, as it only has one thing to spend it on. Also, might want to give it a variety of abilities to choose from- feel free to use chakras or totems or whatever they're called as inspiration. Flat bonuses are bland. (though the fast healing's good.)
Soul limb... so, no use for strength until now, and suddenly it does have a use for strength? I suppose? It's okay, but not perfect. Maybe give it earlier. Also, let them invest essentia in it for some cool bonuses... maybe. Your choice.

Now, Soul Incarnate: Base it off of class level. For the love of god, base it off of class level. You could go off and take levels of crusader or sorcerer or whathaveyou for your next 13 levels and at the end have 18 incarnate levels. I was under the impression that was like caster levels. If so, that is horribly, butally broken. Even if it's more like initiator levels, that's horribly, brutally broken. Otherwise, looks okay, so long as you remove that last clause.

For soul manifestation... LAME. Seriously. I'd say let it use polymorph like that. This is a capstone we're talking about here- your current soul manifestation would fit as a 2nd level ability. That, or give it at will alter self without a size limit- that would be a cool capstone, representing that it comes from many, many souls, and it's learned to represent them. Maybe say it can only alter self into humanoid forms.
Or you could just give it sorcerer levels equal to its HD-5.
Or you could let it choose from the last two (polymorph is pretty cheesy, after all.)

[Gorgondantess]

Oh, and go ahead and take KB's suggestion.

[Temotei]

Temotei: Are you finished with the Ettin & Nimblewright? Have you made the revisions I suggested?

Not yet. My computer literally blew up while I was on it, so that was a minor setback. I'll see what I can do now.

[Kobold-Bard]

Thoughts on the Titan Gorgon?

Gerivar body : The Gerivar loses all other racial bonuses, and gains giant traits (mainly low light vision), Darkvision 60', a base speed of 30 feet, two natural slam attacks doing 1d6+Str each and a +1 racial bonus on thrown rocks.He gains natural armor equal to his Con bonus.He also get 4 arms but 3 of them are two weak to do anything.

RegenerationA Gerivar gains regenration equal to half his HD. Cold and acid bypass this Regeneration.

Exploding nodules A Gerivar has small nodules that contains fragments of the gerivar body armor and an explosive liquid. He is able to detack them and they are considered grenade like weapons.They damage 1d6/2hd fire and piercing. A normal Gerivar has 12 nodules on his body and it takes 3d6 minutes to grow back. Sevral nodules can grow back at the same time.

Growth Ay 4th Hd a Gerivar grows to large size.
At 12 HD he grows to huge size.
At 20 Hd he grows to gargantuan size.

Throw stone At 5th level, the Gerivar may begin throwing boulders or other large objects. A Gerivar of at least Large size can hurl rocks weighing 40 to 50 pounds each (Small objects) up to 900 feet. A Gerivar giant can hurl rocks of 60 to 80 pounds (Medium objects). A Gargantuan Gerivar can hurl rocks of 90 to 120 pounds (large objects). Inanimate objects of similar size and heft may be substituted, but you lose the racial bonus to attack rolls and have half the range. When a Gerivar gainsthe use of all 4 arms, then he is able to shot 2 rocks or similar size objects.

Addition arm A 7th level , a gerivar gains use of another of his arms.
At 14th level he gains use of all of his arms.

Powerful build At 8th level he gains the powerful build and is considered Huge
At 16th level he gain another powerful build and is considered gargantuan.

Well, this is just my two coppers, but the ability score increases seem mildly ( understatement ) large.

[mootoall]

Yeah ... I'm not familiar with that particular monster, but I do know that ability score bonuses =/= fun class abilities ... it seems rather boring and, as Gorgondantess would put it, I think, "vanilla." If it's just a big melee class, it looks like it'd be in the same category as purple worm, and if it's got interesting things going for it ... well, you didn't show that.

[monkman]

CR*p,i am so stupid,stupid, how cound i not see it , im going to delete it and im a very sorry

[NecroticPunch]

o.O You're not stupid. You just made a little mistake. We could've helped you out so you could fix it...

[monkman]

(head down in shame) i dont think that it should of been fixed beacuse it was already made and it would be really stranged to have practactly the same creature twice.

[Mystic Muse]

Dude, stop beating yourself up so much.

[Gorgondantess]

Ah, right. Titan!

Table: Full BAB? Tsk, tsk. Titans are not finesse fighters, they're "I hit you really hard" fighters. Remove the full BAB, and give +1 strength more often- or, give more bonuses in general.
Also, the proper way of doing things is not putting the ability scores in a table, but the table. Much like pretty much every other monster out there.
Titanic strength looks okay.
Scrap all the "titanic magic" lesser intermediate and all that. It's just not how we do things- that stuff is for templates that need to give higher level SLAs but don't have enough levels, not a 20 level class.
Brute force... disable device and open lock are trained only. Say they can make a strength check with a bonus equal to 1/2 their level as a standard action, and if it beats a lock/device's DC, they demolish it.
Titan Battle Style is cool. I like it.
Skin of the Titan looks okay. The SR is a bit powerful, but, eh, you needed an ability there- I'll not hold it against you.
For the growths, growth to large is fine. Growth to huge is not. Have them start at 40 ft and give a +10 ft bonus to speed at both growths- consider if they multiclassed and got greater than 60 feet of land speed, then went back to titan and got the 2nd growth- it would actually make them decrease in speed.
Bonus feats... bland, but a decent filler I suppose. Might actually be better thematically to restrict it only to SLA metamagic feats- then give it a bonus like letting its caster level be considered higher for the purposes of qualifying, or increased uses.
Change shape is a-ok.
I'll be back is pretty cool, but I'd make it even better- let the titan choose whether to stay dead and be resurrected when it is safe, or an hour later come back to life with 1 hp.
Get to da choppa, however, isn't exactly thematically appropriate. How about something like this:
Hasta la vista, baby (ex): Once per day, the Titan may utter a pithy comment before attacking as a standard action. For the purposes of that attack, he gains his charisma bonus as an Awesome bonus to attack and damage. The DM should feel free to add a bonus or penalty to this number, depending on how clever and pithy the one-liner is. The attack pierces all damage reduction. All threatened criticals are automatically confirmed.
If the enemy is hit, they are sent flying back a number of feet equal to half the damage the Titan dealt with the attack, rounded to the nearest 5. If they are blocked by a wall or obstacle, they take 1d6 damage per 5 feet they would've gone beyond that. Either way, when they land, they fall prone and are shaken for the duration of the encounter. This shaken status will affect creatures immune to fear or mind-affecting, but not mindless creatures.
This ability cannot be used on the first round of a battle.

Just a suggestion.
Otherwise, looks good!

Monkman: Calm down, sheesh. You like big creatures, that's okay. Also, the ability scores aren't too big- several creatures get +2 a level. Especially melee monsters. Anyways, I don't know the monster, and I didn't really see it, but I'm sure something could be worked out with it.

[Hyudra]

...The giants were unfinished? Or do you mean you're going to do cloud and storm giant n'stuff? If the latter, great to have you back.

Cloud & Storm, yeah.

[Gorgondantess]

Cloud & Storm, yeah.

Yay!

[Kobold-Bard]

Ah, right. Titan!

Ok, Medium BAB and stats adjusted. Not changing the table because that is beyond unnecessarily complicated.

Titanic strength looks okay.

Cool.

Scrap all the "titanic magic" lesser intermediate and all that. It's just not how we do things- that stuff is for templates that need to give higher level SLAs but don't have enough levels, not a 20 level class.

Right, will do.

Brute force... disable device and open lock are trained only. Say they can make a strength check with a bonus equal to 1/2 their level as a standard action, and if it beats a lock/device's DC, they demolish it.

Kewl.

Titan Battle Style is cool. I like it.

Also kewl.

Skin of the Titan looks okay. The SR is a bit powerful, but, eh, you needed an ability there- I'll not hold it against you.

Thanks.

For the growths, growth to large is fine. Growth to huge is not. Have them start at 40 ft and give a +10 ft bonus to speed at both growths- consider if they multiclassed and got greater than 60 feet of land speed, then went back to titan and got the 2nd growth- it would actually make them decrease in speed.

Ok.

Not everything can be awesome. Even the best classes have meh levels.

Change shape is a-ok.

Cool.

I'll be back is pretty cool, but I'd make it even better- let the titan choose whether to stay dead and be resurrected when it is safe, or an hour later come back to life with 1 hp.

I was just making abilities to fill the levels and not particularly boost the Titan's power any more. If you think it's ok to raise the power I will do that.

Get to da choppa, however, isn't exactly thematically appropriate. How about something like this:
Hasta la vista, baby (ex): Once per day, the Titan may utter a pithy comment before attacking as a standard action. For the purposes of that attack, he gains his charisma bonus as an Awesome bonus to attack and damage.

This ability cannot be used on the first round of a battle.

I knew there was one I'd missed. OK.

Edit: Kept GTDC! and also added HLVB! because getting rid of the Magic gradings irritatingly gave me a new dead Level at Level 16.

Proficiencies: Titans are proficient with their own natural attacks, as well as all simple and martial weapons. They are proficient with light, medium & heavy armour but not shields.

Class Features:

Titanic Body (Ex): At first level the Titan loses all racial traits and features and gains the Outsider traits. It gains the Chaotic subtype, as well as the Native subtype when on a Chaos aligned Plane and the Extraplanar subtype when anywhere else.
It is medium sized and has a base land speed of 40ft.
It gains a primary Slam attack that deals 1d4+Str Mod damage, and a natural armour bonus equal to it's Con Mod.
At each level the Titan gains a bonus to one or more Stats, as shown on the table below:

Titanic Strength (Ex): Titans have the Powerful Build quality. When they increase in size via the abilities of this class (but not from any other means) Powerful Build increases too.

Titanic Magic (Sp): Magic flows in the blood of Titans, and as such they can utilise many spell-like abilities. Spell-likes are gained at the Titan level shown in the below spoiler and may be used as often as shown.

Brute Force (Ex): A Titan's raw strength is their biggest asset. Titans may make a Str check and add 1/2 their Titan Level as a racial bonus vs. the DC of a Disable Device and Open Lock checks. If the check beats DC then the Titan demolishes the lock/device, ruining them beyond use or repair.

Titan Battle Style (Ex): Titans train from birth with weapons far bigger than normal for most races. Thanks to their Powerful Build they can use weapons of this size without penalty, and only when using a masterwork weapon (excluding natural weapons) one size bigger than themselves do they gain the benefits of this ability.
- At third level when a Titan threatens a Critical Hit they may use one of their SLAs as a Swift action, provided they haven't used their Swift/Immediate action for that round already.
- At ninth level they may make a full-attack as a standard action.
- At eighteenth level they may overcome 1 point of DR per Titan level, regardless of what would normally overcome it (if it is DR/- then they ignore 1 point/2 Titan levels).

Skin of the Titan (Ex): The magic inherent within Titans grants them potent protection.
- At fourth level they gain DR/Magic equal to half their HD.
- At sixth level they gain Spell Resistance equal to 10+HD.
- At twelfth level their DR becomes DR/Lawful.
- At fifteenth level they gain +Cha Mod to their Spell Resistance.
- At twentieth level their DR becomes DR/Epic & Lawful.

Growth (Ex): At fifth level the Titan grows to Large Size, it's Slam attack increases to 1d6+Str damage and it gains +10ft to it's land speed. It's natural armour bonus increases by one.

At tenth level they grow again to huge size. Their Slam now deals 1d8+Str damage and gains another +10ft to it's land speed. Their natural armour again increases by one.

Bonus Feat (Ex): At levels 7, 14 & 21 Titans gain a bonus feat. This feat must be either a Fighter bonus feat or a spell-like metamagic feat.

Change Shape (Su): From eighth level Titans may assume the form of any small or medium humanoid for 1 hour/day for each Titan level it possesses.

Changing shape is a move equivalent action that may be done at will, but no more than 1/round.

Unstoppable (Ex): Titans are born to battle, and over the generations they have learned techniques that mean they may continue in the fray long after others have fallen. From now on the Titan may use his Cure Critical Wounds SLA on himself as a Swift action. He may still use the SLA on others, but it takes it's normal casting time when doing so.

Swat (Ex): At second level, the Titan may turn his strength to knocking enemies around rather than simply harming them. A Swat is a standard-action, touch based attack delivered with the Titan's slam attack. Enemies take standard slam damage, but the Titan does not add his Str to damage. Instead, enemies are knocked 5' in the direction of the Titan's choice (excepting movement into the Titan's occupied area), plus 5' for every size category the giant has over them. Increase the distance increment by 5' for every 5HD of the Titan.

Enemies who are knocked into obstacles must make a balance test (DC is 10 + the damage dealt + the Titan's Str modifier) or fall prone. If an enemy is knocked into another enemy's square, both foes must make balance tests.

Flying enemies must pass the same balance test or lose flying for 1 round per size category the Giant has over them.

Hasta La Vista Baby! (Ex): Once per day, the Titan may utter a pithy comment before attacking as a standard action. For the purposes of that attack, he gains his charisma bonus as an Awesome bonus to attack and damage. The DM should feel free to add a bonus or penalty to this number, depending on how clever and pithy the one-liner is. The attack pierces all damage reduction. All threatened criticals are automatically confirmed.

If the enemy is hit, they are sent flying back a number of feet equal to half the damage the Titan dealt with the attack, rounded to the nearest 5. If they are blocked by a wall or obstacle, they take 1d6 damage per 5 feet they would've gone beyond that. Either way, when they land, they fall prone and are shaken for the duration of the encounter. This shaken status will affect creatures immune to fear or mind-affecting, but not mindless creatures.
This ability cannot be used on the first round of a battle.

I'll be back (Su): Titans are unbelievably difficult to keep down. As a free action 1/week a Titan may utter the name of this ability whilst engaged in combat (initiative has been rolled, must have made at least one melee attack or used one of his SLAs against an enemy since initiative was rolled). This effect lasts for 1 round/HD.

If the Titan is killed during that duration, anyone attempting to resurrect him at any point after that may forgo any material or XP costs involved. Alternatively the Titan may forgo this power and instead revive automatically 1 hour after death with 1HP and no level loss, assuming there is at least some of his original body remaining.

If killed whilst under the effects of this ability the Titan's soul may also not be trapped or bound in any way.

The power of this effect only works once, and must be renewed after the Titan is raised if they wish to benefit from it again. The week delay before it is usable again begins the day after the previous use expires, unless he is killed whilst under it's effect in which case it begins the day after he is revived.

Get to da choppa! (Su): Titan's may be wild and powerful, but they're not suicidal, and they know the benefit of allies.. As a Swift action he may yell out the name of this ability in the same round that he uses his Gate SLA, and anyone he considers an ally within 50ft/HD may move at the base speed of their choice (land, flight, swim, burrow, climb) during your turn.

Additionally, on an affected ally's next turn all their movement speeds are doubled for that one round as long as they are genuinely aiming to go through the Titan's gate.

Supreme Titanic Magic (Su): At level 21 Titans become masters of their magical abilities. From now on any spell-like abilities they gained from the Titan class that could previously be used 1/HD each day may now be used at will. This has no effect on other spell-like abilities either from other sources or from the Titan class that can only be used less than 1/round.

There's my Titan. Not really that much to put in here, everything should be pretty self explanatory (the capstone is in epic levels, so it shouldn't be too bad, but maybe I should limit it to a certain amount of it's spell-likes). Basically it's a Battle Sorcerer except it's on a restricted spell list. Is it too much?

[Gorgondantess]

I'd really like you to find something other than GTDC. It's not thematically appropriate- maybe an ability that lets you use all metamagic SLA feats once more per day? The titan had a few of those, didn't he?
Besides, dead levels are okay, so long as you're getting at least one cool SLA that level. But, eh, why stop with filling everything now?
Anyways, once I get an answer on that, it's in.
Also: changing the table will take 3 minutes, tops. That's not complicated. Trust me, I've done that kind of thing a dozen times.

Ok, changing.

I was happy with dead levels, but was told to fill them with flavour abilities. So I did. Then I was told to make them more powerful. I'll leave the dead level then (you get 3 goes of Maze, +1 Con and +1 Cha).

Alright I'll do it.

Edit: Done.

Just wanted to note that I've read all your comments on Dream Larva and am actively revising it. Thanks very much for the critique.

If anyone CAN find a picture of the Dream Larva on the internet, that'd be great also, I couldn't find any...

Craft(Dreamweaving)? I'm not sure what it does, but the Dream Larva is described as having it, and it sounded really cool. I was kind of assuming it would be up to the player and the DM to find a fun use for it, maybe you can give people visions with it, with resultant small morale bonuses or penalties?

Class Skills: (4 + Int. Mod.) x 4 at first level. A Phoelarch’s class skills are Concentration, Diplomacy, Knowledge (the planes), Spellcraft, Spot, and Tumble.

Class Features
Proficiencies: Phoelarchs are proficient with all simple and martial weapons as well as light armor. They are also proficient with their own natural weapons.

Body of Fire: At first level, the phoelarch loses all racial bonuses, traits, and abilities and gains monstrous humanoid traits (essentially Darkvision 60ft.) The phoelarch is a medium monstrous humanoid with a base land speed of 30ft. Phoelarch’s can wear equipment, use weapons, and manipulate objects normally. Phoelarchs speak Common and Ignan and may choose an additional language to speak for every point of intelligence modifier. Phoelarchs are creatures of fire and have the [Fire] subtype meaning that they take no damage from attacks that deal fire damage and take 50% more damage from attacks that deal cold damage.

Lastly, the Phoelarch receives a bonus it its armor class in the form of a natural armor bonus equal to its constitution modifier.

Heat (Ex):The phoelarch’s body creates tremendous heat. At first level, an creature who touches the phoelarch, attacks them with a natural weapon or unarmed strike, or who is attacked by a phoelarch takes one point of fire damage for each point of the phoelarch’s charisma modifier.

Healing Fire (Su): Phoelarchs were born of fire. It forms a substantial part of their being. At second level, Phoelarchs can use fire to heal themselves. Whenever the Phoelarch would suffer damage from an attack which deals fire damage, he instead heals 1 point of damage for every 3 points of fire damage he would have taken. If this healing would cause the phoelarch to exceed its maximum hit point total, he gains the additional hit points in the form of temporary hit points; to a maximum number of twice the phoelarch's constitution score. The pholelarch's own abilities which deal fire damage (such as his Heat property and the SLA's granted by the Fire Mastery ability) do not cause him to heal in this way; though he is still immune this fire damage.

Fire Mastery (Sp): At second level, the Phoelarch gains a certain amount of control over the fire which suffuses his soul. May use a number of Spell-like abilities as indicated on the table below. The caster level for the phoelarch’s spell-like abilities is equal to his HD. The save DC for any of the phoelarch’s spell-like abilities is equal to 10 + the Phoelarch’s HD + the Phoelarch’s charisma modifier.

[/table]
*The fire seeds ability uses drops of the own phoelarch's blood, though using this ability does not damage the phoelarch.

Ability Increase: Phoelarchs possess the incredible spirit of their phoenix ancestors. At each even numbered level of the class the Phoelarch’s charisma score increases by one. At 6th level these ability increase add up to a total of +3 Charisma.

Rise from the Ashes (Su): Phoelarchs are the descendents of the powerful phoenix.and carry the mythic creature’s power of rebirth. At 3rd level, when a phoelarch is slain (reduced to –10 hit points or below), its body is immolated, leaving nothing but ash and a chrysalis form in the shape of a small black glass egg roughly 6 inches across. The egg remains dormant for 24 hours, after which time it hatches, releasing a fully grown phoera (see below). The ash and chrysalis left behind when a phoelarch dies can be used to resurrect the phoelarch, but the creature cannot be raised by any means. Once a phoera has burst free from its chrysalis, the phoelarch cannot be brought back to life by any means. A gentle repose spell or similar magic cast on a chrysalis can keep the egg from hatching, allowing the phoelarch to possibly be brought back to life at a later time.

Once the gentle repose effect ends, however, the egg hatches 24 hours later. A wish or miracle spell used in conjunction with a resurrection effect can restore a phoelarch to life after its chrysalis has hatched.

The egg radiates faint transmutation magic but otherwise has no magical properties. The black egg has hardness equal to the phoelarch’s HD, 10 hit points for every 2 HD, and immunity to fire. When the egg hatches, the Phoelarch must make a will save (DC = 10 + the Phoelarch’s HD + the Phoelarchs Charisma modifier) to retain its memories. The DM may grant the phoelarch a bonus to this save if the phoelarch has sufficient reason to come back, such as a mission or purpose left incompleted. Most phoelarchs regard this as a natural course of its life and do not resist the transition without sufficient cause. If the phoelarch willingly commits suicide or allows itself to be killed, it is not allowed a save to retain its memories.

Upon rebirth, the phoelarch chooses whether to be reborn as either a phoelarch or a phoera. When in the form of a phoera, the phoelarch is a medium magical beast with a base land speed of 20ft. and a fly speed of 60ft. with average maneuverability. A phoera cannot speak verbally, but it can speak telepathically with any creature that has a language within a range of 100ft. The phoera cannot wield weapons or manipulate objects due to its lack of limbs capable of fine manipulation, though it does gain to natural claw attacks which deal 1d6 damage each and a bite attack which deals 1d8 damage. It is proficient with these natural attacks and loses proficiency with all other weapons. It retains its armor proficiencies, though it cannot wear armor not specially designed to fit it. If the phoera retains its memories from its life as a phoelarch, then it also retains its abilities granted by its other class levels. If it does not retain these memories, then it retains only the abilities granted by its levels in the Phoelarch monster class. After the phoelarch is transformed into phoera, he may retrain his feats, removing any feats which became useless due to his change.

Lastly, each death after the first cause the Phoelarch to lose a level until the loss of level cause the Phoelarch to be reduced below the level he is granted the rise from the ashes ability.

Death Throes (Su): When the Phoelarch is slain, the fire in its soul is explosively unleashed. At 3rd level, when the phoelarch is slain (reduced to -10 hit points or below) then each creature within 30ft. takes 2d6 damage for each HD the phoelarch possesses. Creatures who take damage may attempt a reflex save (DC = 10 + the Phoelarch’s HD + the Phoelarch’s charisma modifier) for half damage.

Breath of Fire (Su): At 4th level, a phoelarch may let loose a torrent of flame. The phoelarch gains a breath weapon which takes the form of a cone that extends 5ft. for every 2 HD the phoelarch possesses. This breath weapon requires a standard action to use and may only be used once every 1d4+1 rounds. This attack deals 1d8 damage for every 2 HD the pholarch possesses. Creature within the cone may also attempt a reflex save (DC = 10 + ½ Phoelarh’s HD + the Poelarch’s charisma modifier). Those that succeed take only half damage.

Fiery Wings (Su): The phoelarch may transform its arms into wings of brilliant fire, resembling those of a phoenix. The flame does not damage the phoelarch or any items it carries. Since its arms are transformed, it cannot hold items in its hands or cast spells while using the fire wings, but rings, bracers, and other items worn when the ability is activated still function normally. The wings allow the phoelarch to fly at a speed of 60 feet, with good maneuverability. It can charge but not run while flying, and it cannot carry more than a light load aloft. If the duration of the effect expires while it is still aloft, the phoelarch falls normally. A phoelarch can make unarmed attacks with the fire wings. A successful unarmed strike deals 2d6 points of fire damage in addition to its normal unarmed attack damage. This is a normal unarmed strike and does provoke an attack of opportunity unless the user also possesses the Improved Unarmed Strike feat The wings can be extinguished (and the effect canceled) by a quench spell, immersion in water, or a wind of hurricane or greater force. This ability may be activated as a swift action and lasts for 10 min./HD. The phoelarch may use this ability once a day for every 4 HD is possesses.

Explosive Blade (Su): By Focusing his power over fire onto his blade, a phoelarch can set his weapon ablaze. As a standard action, the pholearch can enhance a single weapon. The enchanted weapon weapon acts as a flaming burst weapon. On a critical hit, the weapon deals +1d10 points of bonus fire damage if the weapon’s critical multiplier is ×2, +2d10 if the multiplier is x3, and +3d10 if the multiplier is ×4. This effect does not stack with a flaming burst weapon special ability.

Blazing Transformation (Su): At 6th level, the phoelarch is the master of its own destiny and its own life. The phoelarch may switch from its humanoid phoelarch form to its bird-like phoera form as a full-round action. This ability works identically to the alternate form special ability with the exception that when transformed, the phoelarch may have an alternate set of feats which it utilizes in each form. The feats for the phoera form are chosen the first time it takes that form (either through a use of this ability or due to the Rise from the Ashes ability) and cannot be changed afterward.

In order for the transformation to take place, the phoelarch must shed its current form. Meaning that the original body essentially dies, forcing the creature to be reborn in its new form. Using this ability cause the phoelarch's death throes ability to be activated immolating the body and filling the surrounding area with flame as if the Phoelarch had been slain. The phoelarch may only use this ability once a day for every 5 HD it possesses.

Blessing of the Firebird (Su): Phoenixes are powerful creatures of magic and good. Their blessing has been known to make kings and heroes out of even the most humble of souls. Phoelarchs may give a blessing of their own, though their gift no where near as powerful as that of their ancestors. At sixth level, a phoelarch may gift any ally with the most precious power of the phoenix. The power of rebirth. The symbol of this power is a simple feather plucked from the phoelarch's plumes. As long as the ally keeps the charm on his person he gains immunity to fire damage. In addition if the ally holding the feather is slain, then the feather disintegrates, leaving behind nothing but fine ash. Immediately after his death, the fallen allies body erupts into a column of fire and burns for 10 minutes. Creatures within 5ft. of the column take fire damage equal to the Phoelarch's charisma modifier. After the initial 10 minutes the column extinguishes and leaves behind a pile of ash. Over the next 10 minutes the allies body slowly reforms and after the 10 minutes are up, the ally is risen as per the Raise Dead spell. The phoelarch may only give one charm at a time, if the one charm is expended through the raising of an ally, then the phoelarch must wait another year before he may give such a gift again. If the Phoelarch ever gives out more feathers than one charm, the oldest existing charm will spark harmlessly into flame, reduced to ash and being permanently destroyed. The phoelarch may also destroy the feather he has given out any time he wishes, regardless of distance or what plane it is on. Phoelarchs cannot benefit from their own blessing. At 10 HD, the phoelarch need only wait 6 month between giving out a new charm. At 15 HD, he need only wait 3 months; and finally at 20th HD, he need only wait 1 month in between gifting an ally with the feather. As the Phoelarch gains power, the magic it uses to resurrect its allies increases in strength. at 15 HD, the spell this power emulates increases to the Resurrection spell and increases further to True Resurrection at 20 HD.

I'm going to take a break from elemental for a while. I encourage anyone who wants to see an elemental to do it themselves or request it, I'm a little tired of them. I tried to do the Phoelarch, just tell me what I did wrong. Still need something to fill the dead 5th level. I was thinking of a generic Fiery Burst type ability where it blows up and deals damage in a radius, or maybe a Fiery Wings type ability.

Ok, edited a little to follow some suggestions from Hyudra. I'm not as smart as him so I probably didn't implement them correctly.

• Added a first level ability to give them a little something extra in combat early on.
• Changed to full BAB
• Tried to clear up Healing Fire.
• Changed Rise from the Ashes so that each time the phoelarch is reborn as the opposite form.
• Changed fiery wings to a simple spell-like ability instead of the complicated and restricted ability I originally had it as.
• Breath of Fire now deals (1/2 HD)d6 damage.
• Blessing of the Firebird now grants a bonus to the phoelarch when the gifted ally successfully defeats another creature.
• Finally, gave the thing a alternate form ability combined with a immolation type ability.

It was late so I didn't feel like doing any real work, just made simple changes. I'll fix anything in the morning.

Edits: 10/22/2010

• Heat altered to remove the part that makes creatures catch on fire. Additionally, the fire damage from contact extends to weapons the creature us wielding.
• Burning Blade Removed
• Fire Mastery spells spread and expanded. The phoelarch keeps gains SLA's until it gains meteor swarms at 17th level.
• Healing Fire works with all fire damage. But specified so that the phoelarch cannot heal from fire damage with itself as a source.
• Fiery Wings changed. SLA removed and ability fully described.
• Explosive Blade works on all weapons, not just nonmagical. Specified that it does not stack with flaming burst property.
• Rise from the Ashes edited to include a line stating that a phoelarch who commits suicide or allows itself to die will not come back with its memories.

Unholy Scion

Some general comments/corrections:

• Spelling Errors: Unholly, Scoin,
• Format errors: There's a gap in your table, you didn't capitalize all ability names in the table (and elsewhere),
• Strike doesn't specify any of the information a player would need. Range, what kind of action is it?
• It's sort of dull. Nothing to make it stand out. The capstone ability isn't all that enticing, especially since most classes that will prestige into Unholy Scion will have many of them.
• Are you looking for a picture of the pregnant mother or of the already born child?

PHOELARCH

• Seems really weak at 1st level.
• I'd reword healing fire from "Whenever the Phoelarch takes damage from an attack which deals fire damage, instead of taking no damage, he instead..." to "Whenever the Phoelarch would suffer fire damage, he instead..."
  
  • This is a bit confusing though, since it's already established in the 'Phoelarch Body' that he takes no damage from fire.
• I see abuse potential in healing fire. A player could keep a torch or lantern on their person to intentionally damage themselves and bring themselves up to 10 hitpoints higher than their maximum between every encounter.
  
  • You could Specify 'damaged from a hostile source' to prevent most abuse, but still not ideal.
  • In any case, I'd change the max on temporary hitpoints to, say, twice the player's Con bonus. Scales better.
• Rise from the Ashes, at a glance, looks like a pretty hefty class penalty. Am I not reading it right?
• Is there no way to regain humanoid form?
• Death 'Throws' is probably better named Death Throes, which is the proper term.
• Not sure if I like third level. Both abilities are based around the player dying, which is something best avoided.
• Breath of Fire is weak. I might suggest a 1d4 round wait between breaths, which would allow more room for metabreath feats. The damage could stand to scale faster.
• Fiery Wings packs way too many restrictions into the ability. Other classes get actual flight at the same level. If you don't want the Phoelarch to become a 'always flying above the battlefield' kind of character, perhaps alternate uses of the Fiery Wings ability?
• As a capstone ability, Blessing of the Firebird isn't that exciting. A +1 luck bonus is pretty similar to a Bless spell, which is a first level spell.
