    Default [Base Class] Enlightened Devotee

    The powers of the gods exist throughout all creation, and psychic powers are merely one of those creations. The gods, unlike mere mortals, work through intermediaries on the material planes, and enlightened devotees are some of those intermediaries.

    Adventures: An enlightened devotee usually quests in his deity's service. Occasionally, this manifests as a journey for journey's sake, but usually it involves something the deity is particularly interested in or wishes to obtain. Quests for enlightened devotees usually involve acquiring religious relics, combating those who oppose his god, or improving the reputation of his deity.

    Unlike clerics, most enlightened devotees are not actually attached to a church, instead representing their deities' influence in the world through their own means and ends. The few enlightened devotees that are augmentations to a church tend to be some of the more zealous and exuberant members of the church in question.

    Characteristics: Like clerics, enlightened devotees spend their lives in service of a deity. However, where clerics draw their magic from the divine, enlightened devotees channel the strength and glory of their deities using their own psionic faculties. Further, enlightened devotees tend to not be aligned with a church, instead choosing to serve a deity in their own manner. Though they do share a few common traits with their magical counterparts, enlightened devotees occasionally run into issue where they are expected to know how to perform a task or a religious function and do not.

    Alignment: An enlightened devotee's alignment must be within one step of the deity he is in service to. If an enlightened devotee serves no deity, but serves an ideal instead--like many do--his alignment must match that of his ideal. If an enlightened devotee's alignment changes, he loses all supernatural class features of this class until he returns to his former alignment or receives an atonement from a servant of a deity he wishes to serve.

    Religion: Enlightened devotees--as a general rule--do not adhere strictly to religion. They do not find this to be an impediment in service of their chosen god, though there are occasionally moments where an enlightened devotee will butt heads with a church, particularly when the church follows a lawful deity. Enlightened devotees adhere to just about any deity in existence, though many worship Esselli, Sherevine, Sheldoreen, and Nadoriel, the sister deities of psionics.

    A large portion of enlightened devotees devote themselves to an ideal or cause instead of a deity. These enlightened devotees appear exactly the same as others of their class, but are not part of any particular church or means of worship beyond their own styles and choices.

    Background: Enlightened devotees tend to be religious from very early in their lives, though are often not part of the church's hierarchy due to social, fiscal, or caste issues. As such, some find disdain with churches, while others have put the past behind them and work with churches for a common goal.

    Races: Any and all races become enlightened devotees, though there are slightly greater numbers of those races that are naturally psionic. In particular, ameena and russiti tend to walk the path of the enlightened devotee.

    Enlightened Devotee Class Features
    HD: d6

    Skills: An enlightened devotee chooses two skill sets. 4 + Int skill points per level, x4 at first level.

    Prowess: An enlightened devotee gains two points of prowess per level.

    Proficiencies: An enlightened devotee is proficient with all simple and martial weapons, light and medium armor, and shields (but not tower shields).

    Power Points Per Day: An enlightened devotee's ability to manifest powers is limited by the power points he has available. His base daily allotment of power points is given on the table. In addition, he receives bonus power points per day if he has a high Wisdom score. His race may also provide bonus power points per day, as may certain feats and items.

    Powers Known: An enlightened devotee begins play knowing two enlightened devotee powers of your choice. Each time he achieves a new level, he unlocks the knowledge of new powers. An enlightened devotee selects his powers from the enlightened devotee list

    Choose the powers known from the enlightened devotee power list. An enlightened devotee can manifest any power that has a power point cost equal to or lower than his manifester level. An enlightened devotee's powers cost a minimum number of power points equal to twice the power's level, minus one.

    The number of times an enlightened devotee can manifest powers in a day is limited only by his daily power points.

    An enlightened devotee simply knows his powers; they are ingrained in his mind. He does not need to prepare them (in the way that some spellcasters prepare their spells), though he must get a good night’s sleep each day to regain all his spent power points.

    The Difficulty Class for saving throws against enlightened devotee powers is 10 + the power’s level + the enlightened devotee's Wisdom modifier.

    Maximum Power Level Known: An enlightened devotee begins play with the ability to learn 1st-level powers. As he attains higher levels, an enlightened devotee may gain the ability to master more complex powers.

    To learn or manifest a power, an enlightened devotee must have an Wisdom score of at least 10 + the power's level.

    Bonus Languages An enlightened devotee's bonus language options include Celestial, Abyssal, and Infernal. These choices are in addition to the bonus languages available to the character because of his race.

    Channel Divine Influence (Su): Any enlightened devotee, regardless of alignment, has the power to affect undead creatures by channeling the power of his faith through his holy (or unholy) symbol.

    A good enlightened devotee (or a neutral enlightened devotee who worships a good deity) can turn or destroy undead creatures. An evil enlightened devotee (or a neutral enlightened devotee who worships an evil deity) instead rebukes or commands such creatures. A neutral enlightened devotee of a neutral deity must choose whether his turning ability functions as that of a good enlightened devotee or an evil enlightened devotee. Once this choice is made, it cannot be reversed.

    An enlightened devotee may attempt to turn undead by spending two power points. This functions slightly differently than a cleric's use of turning, as an enlightened devotee can augment his attempts to turn undead by spending power points. Like any power, an enlightened devotee cannot spend power points on a turning attempt greater than his manifester level.

    An enlightened devotee's turn attempt affects undead within 10'. This range increases by 5' for each additional two power points he spends. He turns the closest turnable undead first, and he can’t turn undead that are outside the range or that have total cover relative to him. He does not need line of sight to a target, but he does need line of effect.

    When attempting to turn undead, first roll a turning check to see how powerful an undead creature you can turn. This is a Charisma check (1d20 + your Charisma modifier). The table below gives you the Hit Dice of the most powerful undead you can affect, relative to your level. On a given turning attempt, you can turn no undead creature whose Hit Dice exceed the result on this table. An enlightened devotee may spend 3 power points to receive a +2 bonus on this check.

    {table=head]Result | Most Powerful Undead Affected (HD)
    0 or lower | Enlightened devotee's level -4
    1—3 | Enlightened devotee's level -3
    4—6 | Enlightened devotee's level -2
    7—9 | Enlightened devotee's level -1
    10—12 | Enlightened devotee's level
    13—15 | Enlightened devotee's level +1
    16—18 | Enlightened devotee's level +2
    19—21 | Enlightened devotee's level +3
    22 or higher | Enlightened devotee's level +4[/table]

    If the roll on the table is high enough to let him turn at least some of the undead, roll 2d4 + your enlightened devotee level + your Charisma modifier for turning damage. The result is the total Hit Dice of undead you can turn. An enlightened devotee may spend 4 power points to increase this result by 1d4.

    If your Charisma score is average or low, it’s possible to roll fewer Hit Dice of undead turned than indicated on the table.

    You may skip over already turned undead that are still within range, so that you do not waste your turning capacity on them.

    Turned undead flee from you by the best and fastest means available to them. They flee for 10 rounds (1 minute). If they cannot flee, they cower (giving any attack rolls against them a +2 bonus). If you approach within 10 feet of them, however, they overcome being turned and act normally. (You can stand within 10 feet without breaking the turning effect--you just can’t approach them.) You can attack them with ranged attacks (from at least 10 feet away), and others can attack them in any fashion, without breaking the turning effect.

    If you have twice as many levels (or more) as the undead have Hit Dice, you destroy any that you would normally turn.

    Evil enlightened devotees channel negative energy to rebuke (awe) or command (control) undead rather than channeling positive energy to turn or destroy them. An evil cleric makes the equivalent of a turning check. Undead that would be turned are rebuked instead, and those that would be destroyed are commanded.

    A rebuked undead creature cowers as if in awe (attack rolls against the creature get a +2 bonus). The effect lasts 10 rounds. A commanded undead creature is under the mental control of the evil enlightened devotee. The enlightened devotee must take a standard action to give mental orders to a commanded undead. At any one time, the enlightened devotee may command any number of undead whose total Hit Dice do not exceed his level. He may voluntarily relinquish command on any commanded undead creature or creatures in order to command new ones.

    An evil enlightened devotee may channel negative energy to dispel a good enlightened devotee's (or cleric's) turning effect. The evil enlightened devotee makes a turning check as if attempting to rebuke the undead. If the turning check result is equal to or greater than the turning check result that the good enlightened devotee scored when turning the undead, then the undead are no longer turned. The evil enlightened devotee rolls turning damage of 2d4 + enlightened devotee level + Charisma modifier to see how many Hit Dice worth of undead he can affect in this way (as if he were rebuking them). For each 4 power points he spends when making this attempt, the turning damage increases by 1d4.

    An evil enlightened devotee may also bolster undead creatures against turning in advance. He makes a turning check as if attempting to rebuke the undead, but the Hit Dice result on the table becomes the undead creatures' effective Hit Dice as far as turning is concerned (provided the result is higher than the creatures’ actual Hit Dice). The bolstering lasts 10 rounds. An evil undead enlightened devotee can bolster himself in this manner.

    This ability can be used in place of turn undead to qualify for feats and prestige classes.

    Aura (Ex): An enlightened devotee of a chaotic, evil, good, or lawful deity has a particularly powerful aura corresponding to the deity’s alignment (see the detect evil spell for details). Enlightened devotees who don’t worship a specific deity but choose the Chaos, Evil, Good, or Law domain have a similarly powerful aura of the corresponding alignment.

    Divine Protection: An enlightened devotee's faith in his deity shields him from his foes' attacks. Starting at second level, he may add his Charisma modifier as an insight bonus to armor class, as long as he wears only light or no armor, is unencumbered, and does not use a shield. This bonus to AC applies even against touch attacks or when he is flat-footed. He does lose this bonus when immobilized or helpless, however.

    Channel Sight of the Divine (Su): An enlightened devotee can use his psychic powers to grant him some of the sensory traits of his deity. To activate this ability, an enlightened devotee must expend his psionic focus. When doing so, he may spend power points equal to or less than his manifester level. For each power point he spends in this manner, he gains a +1 insight bonus to Search and Spot checks. If he spends at least five power points, he gains the trapfinding ability, as a rogue. These bonuses last for a number of rounds equal to the enlightened devotee's manifester level.

    Alternatively, an enlightened devotee can spend seven power points to gain the benefits of the touchsight power, as if he had manifested it. He may not spend power points to augment this use.

    Also alternatively, an enlightened devotee can spend spend eleven power points to gain the benefits of the psionic true seeing power, as if he had manifested it. He may not spend power points to augment this use.

    Activating any form of this ability is a standard action

    Divine Touch (Su): Beginning at 5th level, an enlightened devotee with a Charisma score of 12 or higher can heal wounds (his own or those of others) by touch. Each day he can heal a total number of hit points of damage equal to his enlightened devotee level multiplied by his Charisma bonus. An enlightened devotee may choose to divide his healing among multiple recipients, and he doesn't have to use it all at once. Using divine touch is a standard action.

    Alternatively, a good-aligned (or neutral in service of a good deity) enlightened devotee can use any or all of this healing power to deal damage to undead creatures. Using lay on hands in this way requires a successful melee touch attack and doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity. The enlightened devotee decides how many of his daily allotment of points to use as damage after successfully touching an undead creature.

    Evil-aligned enlightened (or neutral in service of an evil deity) devotee can use any or all of this healing power to deal damage to living creatures. Using lay on hands in this way requires a successful melee touch attack and doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity. The enlightened devotee decides how many of his daily allotment of points to use as damage after successfully touching a living creature.

    Enlightened devotees of any alignment can also expend their psionic focus and spend power points less than or equal to their manifester level while using this ability. If they do, they may augment the ability in a number of ways:

    For each additional 4 power points they spend, the enlightened devotee may treat their Charisma score as two points higher for the purposes of determining this power's effects.

    An enlightened devotee can remove ability damage or ability drain by spending power points and points of healing both equal to twice the damage or three times the drain to remove.

    An enlightened devotee can remove negative levels without chance of permanent level loss by spending power points and points of healing both equal to five times the number of negative levels to remove.

    An enlightened devotee can also remove poison or disease by spending six power points and spending points of healing equal to the poison or disease's save DC.

    This ability can be used in place of lay on hands to qualify for feats and prestige classes.

    Channel Divine Power (Su): An enlightened devotee can use some of his own psychic powers to channel the powers of the divine into his own body. To activate this ability--a standard action--he must expend his psionic focus and spend a number of power points less than or equal to his manifester level. For each power point spent in this manner, the enlightened devotee may gain a +1 insight bonus to attack rolls or a +1 insight bonus to damage rolls. Neither of these effects may surpass the enlightened devotee's manifester level. This ability lasts for one round per three power points spent (round down, minimum one round).

    Divine Grace (Su): An enlightened devotee gains further protection from their patron at eighth level. They may add their Charisma modifier to saving throws. Further, they may add their Wisdom bonus to their Armor Class as a dodge bonus while wearing no armor, are unencumbered, and are not using a shield.

    This ability can be used in place of a paladin's divine grace to qualify for feats and prestige classes.

    Divine Health (Disease) (Su): An enlightened devotee becomes immune to diseases both natural and magical at 9th level.

    Channel Voice of the Divine (Su): An enlightened devotee is a messenger of their deity and can channel the voice of their god. An enlightened devotee can activate this ability as a standard action by expending their psionic focus and spending a number of power points equal to or less than their manifester level. For each 3 power points the enlightened devotee spends, he gains knowledge of one language for a number of minutes equal to his manifester level.

    Alternatively, an enlightened devotee can spend power points to radiate an aura of fear. This aura of fear has a 10' radius and has a save DC equal to 10 plus the enlightened devotee's Charisma modifier. For each 3 power points the enlightened devotee spends, the radius increases by 5' and the save DC increases by 2. This effect lasts for a number of rounds equal to the power points spent.

    Divine Herald (Su): As a messenger of their deity, an enlightened devotee sometimes needs to travel quickly. An enlightened devotee can activate this ability as a standard action by expending their psionic focus and spending a number of power points equal to or less than their manifester level. For each three power points the enlightened devotee spends, he gains a +10' insight bonus to all modes of movement available to him. This ability only functions when the enlightened devotee is wearing light or no armor, is unencumbered, and is not using a shield. This ability lasts for a number of rounds equal to the enlightened devotee's manifester level.

    Channel Divine Radiance (Su): An enlightened devotee eventually becomes close to a physical manifestation of their deity simply by virtue of their faith. An enlightened devotee can activate this ability as a standard action by expending their psionic focus and spending a number of power points equal to or less than their manifester level. The effects of this ability in any form lasts for a number of rounds equal to the enlightened devotee's manifester level.

    An enlightened devotee can radiate light or dark (as light and darkness) by spending 3 power points. This ability is centered on the enlightened devotee, and has a radius of 10'. For each additional 2 power points the enlightened devotee spends, the radius on this ability increases by 5'.

    Alternatively, an enlightened devotee can radiate healing by spending 4 power points. This ability is centered on the enlightened devotee, and has a radius of 10'. All allies of the enlightened devotee within the radius gain Fast Healing 1. For each additional 4 power points the enlightened devotee spends, the amount of Fast Healing increases by 1 and the radius increases by 5'.

    Also alternatively, an enlightened devotee can radiate elemental resistances by spending 5 power points. This ability is centered on the enlightened devotee, and has a radius of 10'. All allies of the enlightened devotee within the radius gain resistance 10 to one element of the enlightened devotee's choice. For each additional power point the enlightened devotee spends, the resistance increases by two. For each additional four power points the enlightened devotee spends, the radius of the aura increases by 5'.

    Divine Health (Poison) (Su): An enlightened devotee becomes immune to poisons at 14th level.

    Channel Form of the Divine (Su): An enlightened devotee of 16th level gains the ability to channel the physical manifestation of his deity into his very being. To activate this ability, he must expend his psionic focus and spending a number of power points equal to or less than his manifester level. For each three power points he spends in this fashion, the enlightened devotee gains one of the following: +2 insight bonus to Strength, +2 insight bonus to Dexterity, +2 insight bonus to Constitution, or DR 4/-. An enlightened devotee can select bonuses from this list more than once (provided he pays enough power points to do so). If he does, the bonuses accrue. However, this accrual only happens during the activation of this ability. Further activations that augment the same feature fall under the "same effect, differing strengths" clause of stacking effects: only the strongest applies. Each of these effects lasts for a number of rounds equal to half the enlightened devotee's manifester level, rounded down.

    Timeless Body (Ex): Upon attaining 17th level, an enlightened devotee no longer takes penalties to her ability scores for aging and cannot be magically aged. Any such penalties that she has already taken, however, remain in place. Bonuses still accrue, and the enlightened devotee still dies of old age when her time is up.

    Channel Divine Countenance (Su): An enlightened devotee of 19th level gains the ability to channel the mental manifestation of his deity into his very being. To activate this ability, he must expend his psionic focus and spending a number of power points equal to or less than his manifester level. For each three power points he spends in this fashion, the enlightened devotee gains one of the following: +2 insight bonus to Intelligence, +2 insight bonus to Wisdom, +2 insight bonus to Charisma, or Power Resistance 6. An enlightened devotee can select bonuses from this list more than once (provided he pays enough power points to do so). If he does, the bonuses accrue. However, this accrual only happens during the activation of this ability. Further activations that augment the same feature fall under the "same effect, differing strengths" clause of stacking effects: only the strongest applies. Each of these effects lasts for a number of rounds equal to half the enlightened devotee's manifester level, rounded down.

    Divine Avatar (Ex): At twentieth level, an enlightened devotee becomes an avatar of his god. His appearance shifts slightly to appear similar to--but not exactly the same as--their deity, and their physiology changes slightly. His type becomes Outsider (Native), and he gains 50% resistance to critical hits, precision damage, stunning, paralysis, and death effects.

    I love the gradual ascension of this class and the mechanics behind it, as well as the fluff. However, Psionics make my head go all twirly, so I can't offer you much more than the praise of another over-awed onlooker, something I'm sure you have in abundance at this point Fax.

    Any & all advice and opinions, and votes, are welcome

    I don't mean to seem superior to the great and mighty Fax, but the dead levels are all the ones before a new level of powers. Could a little jiggling mean that you either get a new power level or a special? dead levels can be a tad annoying to some people. Love the idea though!

    They're pseudodead levels, really: those're the ones where you get feats.

    What the hell? This seems to be some sort of Divine Mind The Class That Does Not Exist like class, but I don't hate it. Something is wrong... It is almost like the class was done well and makes sense? Nah couldn't be.

    Channel Divine Influence: A psionic turn undead system, nice.

    Aura: Something has always bugged me about these type of abilities. Why stop at alignment? Why not just have an aura that seems reminiscent of one or more domains you have?
    Pet peeve aside, I notice you mention domains here, but I don't think I see them anywhere else.

    Divine Protection: Bonus AC, and they have inertial armor? These guys will be able to get pretty high AC through those means.

    Channel Sight of the Divine: Interesting ability.

    Divine Touch: Copypasta left overs
    Using lay on hands in this way requires a successful melee touch attack and doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity.
    Other then that, looks good.

    Channel Divine Power: Have to wonder about this, because these bonuses are pretty insane at higher levels. (Also a note, you don't define their manifester level anywhere, though I assume its 1/level)

    Divine Grace: Another stat to AC, as well as some save bonuses. With inertial armor, this could get pretty dang high.

    Divine Health(s): Disease looks like its placed fine, but unless your remaking poisons (hint: remake poisons), the 14th level one is basically useless at the point its received.

    Channel Voice of the Divine: Nice ability, and its cool how his senses and such are slowly being replaced by that of a god's.

    Divine Herald: Well, Seeing how this basically maxes out at +60 for 18 pp, I'd say its pretty weak currently, as Hustle doubles your speed for 5 pp, and for most creatures, thats the equivalent of +30 ft.

    Channel Divine Radiance: Love the choices. Works well.

    Channel Form of the Divine: I could see this becoming insanely broken. This ability seems like it takes no action to use (Or does the Supernatural part make it standard?), and recovering psionic focus can be done as a move. So over 4 rounds at level 16, you can expend 60 pp (a bit more then 1/4 of your pp at this level), to gain +10 Str, +10 Dex, +10 Con, and DR 20/-, which will last for 8 rounds. Unless I'm reading something wrong.

    Timeless Body: Flavorful, but could almost be a dead level in most games.

    Channel Divine Countenance: Same basic problem as Form of the Divine. Also, do the increased stats give more PP?

    Divine Avatar: Thats a useful Capstone.

    Power list looks fine.

    Onto Hunter.

    The power description (quoted in part below) for Animal Affinity seems to suggest that increases to key abilities do not grant bonus power points, instead just granting increased save DCs. Strangely, it doesn't seem to be in the SRD rules for gaining and regaining PPs. I think there is an overriding rule somwhere on exactly when a magical or psionic ability score increase grants extra spell slots, power points and the like, but I'm not sure where.
