This is for Crystal. This is designed with gestalt in mind. If you wish to use this for normal D&D, I'd recommend having the class progress both ranger and paladin spellcasting, plus favored enemy, smite evil and perhaps a few other features. This is also abusable with prestige ranger shenanigans (prestige paladin too if you allow Battle Blessing to work for prestige paladin. I don't, but if you do...) and could make a freaky double-divine theurge that way. There's no official rule in the class that prohibits this, so consider this to serve instead.

Companion Mount (Ex)

Levels of Defender of the Natural World stack with either your paladin levels for the sake of your special mount or your ranger level for the sake of your animal companion. Choose which on taking the first level of this class. Once you have chosen, this choice cannot be undone.

Celestial Mount

At 1st level the forces of the natural world and the heavens both smile on you. As a result, you gain Celestial Mount as a bonus feat.

Spellcasting Synergy (Ex)

As you devote yourself equally to the natural world and holy orders, your magic blends together just as equally. At 2nd level you gain the ability to memorize paladin spells in your ranger spell slots, and ranger spells in your paladin spell slots. This applies only to 1st level spells. At 4th level this applies to 2nd level spells, 3rd level spells at level 6 and 4th level spells at level 8.

Favored Enemy (Ex)

At 3rd level, the Defender of the Natural World gains evil as a new type of favored enemy. This functions as the ranger ability of the same name and applies to any creature of evil alignment. This bonus is +2 and may be raised as normal.

Natural Blessings (Ex)

At 5th level, your spells have blended together enough to be able to apply the blessings of your paladin spells to your ranger spells. Your Battle Blessing feat now applies to both your ranger and your paladin spells.

Armored Stride (Ex)

At 7th level, the Defender of the Natural World moves like a ghost, even wearing the heavy armor of a paladin. He reduces the armor check penalty of any armor he wears by 2. Armor heavy enough to reduce his speed no longer reduces his speed. Further, if the Defender of the Natural World has evasion from his ranger class levels, he may now benefit from it in medium or heavy armor.

Smite Favored Enemy (Ex)

At 9th level, the Defender of the Natural World is able to use her enmity against her favored enemies to smite them. When using her smite evil ability, any creature that is one of his favored enemies is a valid target for smite evil, regardless of alignment.

Combined Magic (Ex)

At 10th level your ranger and paladin magic have become one. You now only have one set of spells for both classes. Combine the total spell slots for both, including bonus spells for high wisdom or charisma. These slots may hold any spell from the paladin or ranger lists and have a caster level of your ranger caster level plus your paladin caster level. In addition, any feat or ability that affects ranger or paladin spellcasting affects your combined pool of spells, including taking levels in prestige classes that advance a single type of divine casting. For example, taking a level of a prestige class that advanced paladin casting advances both paladin and ranger casting for you.

Examples

A Defender of the Natural World with 19th level paladin casting, 18th level ranger casting, 24 charisma and 22 wisdom would have the following number of spell slots: 10/9/8/5. If she took a level of a PrC that grants +1 divine casting, she would cast as a 20th level paladin and 19th level ranger and add the appropriate spell slots to come to a total of 10/10/9/7.

Defender of the Natural World makes a crummy epic progression. I gave it bonus feats every 3 levels and called it a day. I may try and cook up some unique feats for it later, but right now I can't think of any.

Improved Critical (Ex)

At 1st level, the Fortune Blade gains Improved Critical as a bonus feat. If she already possesses this feat, she may choose another feat she qualifies for instead.

Spellblade (Sp)

Whenever you confirm a critical hit, magical energy courses through your veins and into your blade. This causes extra effects whenever you confirm a critical hit. When this happens, you may choose any arcane spell you have memorized (if you cast as a wizard) or know (if you cast as a sorcerer). This spell instantly activates, taking effect on the target. This spell resolves as normal, including saving throws and spell resistance. Spells that require an attack roll(s) to hit do not need to do so, nor are these spells counted as being critical hits. This spell does not count as being used - you do not use any components, spell charges are not consumed and a memorized spell is not lost.

The spell in question must be able to target the victim normally, such as charm person, magic missile or sleep. Alternately, it may be an area, burst or radius effect, with the victim at the center of it. You gain no special protections against the spell in this case. You cannot use a spell that would not be able to center itself on a living creature as a valid target, such as wall of force or a summon monster spell. You may not use a spell for spellblade that has a material component that costs more than 1 gold piece.

At 2nd level you can have a 0 or 1st level spell occur when you confirm a critical hit. This level rises by 1 every 2 levels. At 4th level you may use a 2nd level spell, at 6th level you may use a 3rd level spell and so on.

A spell cast through a critical hit and spellblade is a free action. A spell that takes more than 1 round to cast cannot be cast through spellblade.

Creatures immune to critical hits are not subject to them against you. However, if you land a critical threat on one, you may resolve it as normal. Confirming the threat allows spellblade to trigger as normal, though no other aspects of a critical hit occur.

You may not use metamagic on a spell cast by spellblade. Metamagic that is applied automatically, such as the automatic metamagic epic feat or certain class features, functions as normal.

Power Spell (Ex)

When you confirm a critical hit and cast a spell through spellblade, you gain a +2 bonus to the caster level. At 9th level this bonus rises to +4.

Power Critical (Ex)

At 5th level the Fortune Blade gains Power Critical as a bonus feat. If she already possesses this feat, she may choose another feat she qualifies for instead.

Double Spellblade (Sp)

At 7th level, whenever you confirm a critical hit and cast a spell through spellblade, you may also cast a second spell that is 3 levels lower than the highest level spell you cast with spellblade. For example, a character with spellblade (3rd) could cast a 0 level spell as her second spell. All the other rules regarding spellblade apply.

Critical Mastery (Ex)

At the height of your skill, telling critical hits are second nature to you. Your threat range for critical hits increases by 1. This is added after all other modifiers to your critical threat range.

[Anastasia]

Take a wild guess on who this is for.

Alternate Class Feature: Wind's Shield.

The air you worship rises in defense of you, granting you safety and well being.

Class: Favored Soul.

Level: 3rd.

Replaces: If you select Wind's Shield, you do not get Deity's Weapon Focus or Deity's Weapon Specialization.

Benefit: An aegis of wind protects you, granting you a +1 bonus to armor class and a 20% miss chance against physical ranged attacks. At 12th level, this bonus increases to +2 and 50%, respectively.

Singer of the Celestial Choir came from several sources over Balmuria's lifespan. Antenora's dabbing in celestial song in Balmuria 1 started it, which became a few stray scraps of wondering for Neveril in Balmuria 2 (Though grabbing Words of Creation was late game at best due to her HP issues) and re-crystallized recently. In particular, there was a discussion where I noticed I wasn't a big fan of bards. Paradoxically I do like the particular idea of the Celestial Choir. This got me thinking about it off and on, then Cor mentioned bardsong as a possible trait of eladrin the Eladrin Ascendant PrC that's in development. Also, I'd been trying to do something with the Words of Creation in epic for ages, but it never came out to my satisfaction.

Anyway, the upshot of the entire thing is that all of those crystallized into a coherent whole. This whole is an epic bard PrC that focuses on using the Words of Creation to great effect. In essence, this is meant to be angelic music. The songs of the Heavens are represented here, available to a devoted and purified bard of legendary skill. It is designed for a bard who wants cleric styled powers as well as a dash of sanctified magic. It's best compared to the Troubador of Stars from the Book of Exalted Deeds. It offers much better spell progression - more on that below - and better songs, in exchange for weaker sanctified magic access and no divine transformation or starmantle. I think the power of the songs more than makes up for that difference and is a suitable epic PrC.

When considering the balance of this PrC, you need to compare it to Words of Creation boosted bardic music. The Words of Creation offer an unparallelled boost to bardic music at the cost of physical harm. This PrC attempts to continue those themes directly. While the Book of Exalted Deeds notes that mortals can only learn three or four of the Words of Creation, I would hold that an epic character would be far less beholden to that number. While this isn't an epic continuation of Words of Creation, it is decidedly working under the assumption that one's mastery of the Words can increase. Due to this, I tried to make Celestial Music worthwhile. Does it succeed? I think it does in broad strokes, though I'm not familiar enough with high level bards to say for certain.

This PrC pre-supposes a 21+ progression for bard spellcasting for the sake of balance. This is the same idea as duskblade's casting continuing into epic, go see the epic part of the houserules for details on that. This means that if a bard gets close to epic I'll need to make that progression. It's a low priority, as none of you are bards and the only bard in party is suddenly taking Arcane Duelist/Sentinel levels.

Spells

Except at 1st and 5th level, the Singer of the Celestial Choir advances a level in his bard spellcasting, as if he gained a level in bard.

Bardic Music (Ex)

Singer of the Celestial Choir stack with bard levels to determine the number of times per day he may use bardic music.

Celestial Music (Su)

As he advances his studies of divine music, the Singer of the Celestial Choir learns several powerful songs. These songs weave the Words of Creation into them, creating primal and powerful effects. However, as a result of using the Words of Creation, these songs cause non-lethal damage to the Singer. Despite this, most Singers bear this with vast fortitude, understanding the value of self-sacrifice. Celestial music cannot be enhanced with the Words of Creation, as they already use them to produce these effects.

Song of Life

A Singer of the Celestial Choir with 24 or more ranks in perform (song) can sing the songs that purify and restore new souls that pass into the Heavens. Doing so causes spontaneous healing in the wounded by the powerful symbolism of this song. All allies (including himself) that can hear the Singer sing gain fast healing equal to his Singer of the Celestial Choir level + 10. This fast healing does not stack with other sources of fast healing. This effect lasts for as long as you sing and for five rounds thereafter. When you start the Song of Life, you take 24d4 points of non-lethal damage. Using the Song of Life counts as one of your uses of bardic music for the day.

Song of Purification

A Singer of the Celestial Choir of 3rd level or higher and with 26 or more ranks in perform (song) can sing of the celestial promise to take away pain, misery and despair. All allies (including himself) that can hear the Singer sing are cured of the following conditions: confused, dazed, dazzled, exhausted, fatigued, frightened, nauseated, panicked, shaken, sickened and stunned. In addition, effects that specifically cause pain, such as symbol of pain, are negated. Further, effects that cause despair, such as crushing despair, are countered. Song of Purification is considered a limited wish with a caster level equal to the Singer's hit dice for the sake of what effects it may relieve. This does not allow Song of Purification to relieve conditions that fall outside of the scope of those already listed. This song lasts for 1 round. When you start the Song of Purification, you take 26d4 points of non-lethal damage. Using the Song of Purification counts as one of your uses of bardic music for the day.

Song of Holiness

A Singer of the Celestial Choir of 5th level or higher and with 28 or more ranks in perform (song) can sing verses of true holy words, of such profound sacred power that protections bless his allies. A number of allies equal to the Singer's class level that can hear the Singer sing gains spell resistance equal to the Singer's hit dice + 11, damage reduction 15/epic and evil and a +7 sacred bonus to armor class. This effect lasts as long as you sing, for up to 1 minute. When you start the Song of Holiness, you take 28d4 points of non-lethal damage. Using the Song of Holiness counts as one of your uses of bardic music for the day.

Song of Rebirth

A Singer of the Celestial Choir of 7th level or higher and with 30 or more ranks in perform (song) can sing the seven holy verses that blesses each life. By singing this song when a resurrection spell or similar ability is used, you grant a 15% bonus to the resurrection chance roll. This does not bypass the normal maximum percentages allowed, nor does it allow a second chance if a resurrection chance roll has already failed. This effect is used in tandem with another person or yourself using the relevant ability, it is sung during the entire time it takes to use the ability. Multiple Singers using this ability does not stack. When you start the Song of Rebirth, you take 30d4 points of non-lethal damage. Using the Song of Rebirth counts as one of your uses of bardic music for the day.

Song of the Champion

A Singer of the Celestial Choir of 9th level or higher and with 32 or more ranks in perform (song) can sing the powerful verses that herald the birth of each solar. A single ally that can hear the singer is affected, gaining several benefits. They gain a +2 sacred bonus to all ability scores, an angel's protective aura, immunity to acid, cold and petrification, spell resistance equal to 14 + the Singer's hit dice and the benefits of a tongues, true seeing, see invisibility, discern lies, detect evil and detect snares and pits spell. If the ally does not have a fly speed, they sprout white wings and gain a fly speed of 150ft (good). In addition any weapon they wield is considered a bane weapon against its target. This effect lasts as long as you sing and for five rounds thereafter. This song can only affect a creature of good alignment. When you start the Song of the Champion, you take 32d4 points of non-lethal damage. Using the Song of the Champion counts as one of your uses of bardic music for the day.

Sanctified Magic (Ex)

At 2nd level and every four levels thereafter, the Singer of the Celestial Choir may add a sanctified spell to her selection of bard spells known. This is in addition to the spells known that a bard gains as normal. This is an exception to the rule that bards cannot learn sanctified magic.

Improved Words of Creation (Ex)

At 5th level, the blessings and trials the Singer has been through toughen his spirit. As a result he reduces the damage he takes from using the Words of Creation to boost spells and bardic music (including Celestial Music) by 25%.

True Words of Creation (Ex)

At 10th level, the Singer is perfectly in tune with Creation through the use of the Words that compose such acts. As a result he reduces the damage he takes from using the Words of Creation to boost spells and bardic music (including Celestial Music) by 50%.

Bonus Feats

A Singer of the Celestial Choir gains an epic bonus feat at level 14 and every 4 levels thereafter.

Monk unarmed damage tables for huge and larger creatures. These use the patterns from monk and improved natural attack to extrapolate damage values. Things get crazy at the highest sizes and monk progression. I don't think the formula precisely balances for this level of size and advancement, but I'm not sweating over it, either.

Eladrin Magic (Sp)

As the eladrin ascendant advances, she gains the ability to call on several spell like abilities. At 1st level she gains the ability to cast holy smite and chaos hammer at will. At 2nd level she gains detect evil and detect law as always active spell-like abilities. At 3rd level she gains the ability to cast holy word and word of chaos at will. At 4th level she gains the ability to cast holy aura and cloak of chaos at will. At 5th level she gains the ability to cast miracle once per day.

Tongues (Su)

At 2nd level, the eladrin ascendant is under the benefit of a permanent tongues spell, with a caster level equal to her hit dice.

Alternate Form (Su)

Halfway through her apotheosis, the eladrin ascendant grasps the innate duality of the eladrin. She gains an alternate form, like the incorporeal ball of the courre, the pillar of fire of the firre and so forth. The exact form varies from each eladrin ascendant. The player may choose a fitting form, once this choice is made it cannot be undone. Most have a form akin to that of other established eladrin, though some develop unique alternate forms instead. The DM must approve the chosen form.

In any case, changing forms is a standard action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity.

Eladrin Immunities (Ex)

At 4th level, the eladrin ascendant becomes immune to electricity and petrification.

Ascension (Ex)

On reaching 5th level, the eladrin ascendant joins the eternal celebration of life, becoming one of the eladrin. Her type changes to outsider and she loses the native subtype. Despite losing the native subtype, she still qualifies for this class and does not lose any of its benefits.  She gains the good and chaotic subtypes. She gains spell resistance equal to 13 + hit dice and damage reduction 20/epic, evil and cold iron. She is no longer mortal in any way and is not subject to natural aging. She no longer suffers penalty for age nor do bonuses accrue.

[Anastasia]

Obligatory.

I actually put a lot of thought in this. I debated about continuing draconic discoveries, but ultimately decided it's fine. It gets ahead of itself deeper into epic, but I don't consider that enough of a reason to trim it down. At that point automatic metamagic is the name of the game, so another freebie is no big deal. As for the new feats, epic knowledge of the wyrm is solid enough as a skill booster. I went back and forth on it awhile, but I ultimately figured it was balanced enough. Improved discoveries could be minorly abused with that + high end epic metamagic, but whatever. If you're paying an epic feat to do that it's more than enough of a cost. In fact I'm worried its too niche and not useful enough, but eh. Finally, shatter spell resistance isn't bad, just unneeded in most battles. If you run longer combats or want shenanigans it could be interesting.
