Alternate Class Feature: Elven Fencer
Through your graceful maneuvers, you wield any weapon with an impossible, precise skill. It is said that this is the style that inspired the legendary elven courtblades.
Class: Swashbuckler.
Level: 11th.
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain lucky.
Benefit: You may apply your insightful strike bonus to any weapon you wield.
Shining blade of the triad is an improved version of shining blade of Heironeous. Noble paladins and fighters dedicated to the Triad take this class to aid them in smashing evil. The class itself is greatly souped up and very straightforward. There's no pretense of it being a caster class now. No, it's all physical offense and some defensive boons to go with it. In retrospect, the previous version over-corrected, so I upped the prerequisites and toned down a few powers slightly. This was one of my first efforts at making/altering a PrC and it shows.
Changelog: Besides a bunch of style fixes and minor rewordings, increased the skill requirement to 9 ranks of K:R. Added weapon focus as a prerequisite as well as requiring shock blade to use a bladed weapon. Renamed and resorted the shining blade offensive imbuements, but these are ultimately unchanged otherwise. Removed silver from the capstone's damage reductionShining Blade of the Triad

Shining Blade (Su)
A shining blade of the triad can imbue any bladed weapon he is holding with powerful energies. The exact effects are described below and all the effects stack. Activating shining blade is a swift action. These effects last for a number of rounds equal to the character's level in this class and he may use shining blade the same number of times per day. The various imbuements last even if he drops the weapon or gives it to another person to wield, though he can dismiss the effect as a swift action on his turn.
Shock Blade
A shining blade of the triad can cause a weapon he is holding to crackle with heavenly lightning as a swift action. This causes the weapon to deal an extra 1d6 electricity damage on a successful hit. This damage stacks with the extra damage from a shocking weapon or similar enhancements.
Holy Blade
At 3rd level, whenever the shining blade of the triad imbues a weapon with shock blade, he also bestows the weapon with holy energies. This causes the weapon to deal an extra 2d6 holy damage on each successful hit, as well as count as good to bypass damage reduction. This damage applies only against evil targets. This damage stacks with the extra damage from a holy weapon or similar enhancements.
Axiomatic Blade
On reaching 5th level, the shining blade of the triad also imbues his weapon with the power of law. This causes the weapon to deal an extra 2d6 points of axiomatic damage on each successful hit, as well as count as lawful to bypass damage reduction. This damage applies only against chaotic targets. This damage stacks with the extra damage from an axiomatic weapon or similar enhancements.
Thundering Blade
At 7th level, the fury of the three empowers the shining blade of the triad. Thunderous sonic energy erupts with each strike, dealing an extra 1d6 sonic damage on a successful hit. In addition, any target struck must make a fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 character's hit dice + Strength modifier) or be deafened. A target can only be forced to save against deafening once per round, subsequent strikes in the same round do not add further chances to deafen. The sonic damage is still dealt, and being struck again in a later round allows another chance to be deafened. This damage stacks with the extra damage from an sonic weapon or similar enhancements.
Creatures who do not take sonic damage from this attack through resistance or immunity cannot be deafened.
Brilliant Blade
On obtaining 9th level, the shining blade of the triad pours the pure, blinding majesty of the triad into his weapon. This causes the weapon to function as a brilliant energy and ghost touch weapon. Unlike a normal brilliant energy weapon, this ability does not inhibit the affected weapon from damaging undead, constructs and objects.
Electric Endurance (Ex)
A shining blade of the triad is blessed by the Triad, able to call down heavenly lightning. As a result of his constant exposure to electricity and his ability to channel it safely, he gains resistance to electricity 10.
Holy Protection (Su)
By 4th level, the shining blade of the triad is favored by his patrons, protected by their divine blessings. This manifests as a deflection bonus to armor class. This bonus is +1 at 4th level and rises by 1 every two levels thereafter.
Mettle (Ex)
At 6th level, the shining blade of the triad can resist magical and unusual attacks with great willpower of fortitude. If they makes a successful Will or Fortitude save against an attack that normally would have a lesser effect on a successful save (such as a spell with a saving throw entry of Will half or Fortitude partial), they instead completely negate the effect. An unconscious or sleeping shining blade of the triad does not gain the benefit of mettle.
Sacred Body (Su)
By 8th level, the shining blade of the triad is nearly one with the glory of the Heavens. As a result his flesh is not entirely mortal, celestial aspects blessing him. This grants him damage reduction 5/evil. At level 10 this improves to damage reduction 10/evil.

To take a crusader of the dragon princess substitution level, a character must have Seira as a patron and about to take her 1st, 3rd or 6th level of paladin.
Class Skills
Crusaders of the dragon princess have the same class skills as a standard paladin, plus Knowledge (Arcana).
Skill Points per Level

Level | Base Attack Bonus | Fortitude Save | Reflex Save | Will Saves | Special | Spells |
1 | +1 | +2 | +0 | +0 | Aura of good, detect evil, dragonfire wrath | - |
3 | +3 | +3 | +1 | +1 | Aura of courage, dragon's energy | - |
6 | +6 | +5 | +2 | +2 | Good hope | Same as paladin |
Dragonfire Wrath (Su)
Through your devotion to Seira you can call on purifying flames to cleanse evil. Once per day you may cloak a melee or natural weapon in these flames as a swift action, dealing grievous harm to evil. You deal an extra 1d8 points of fire damage per strike. This effect lasts for a number of rounds equal to your paladin level. When you reach 5th, 10th, 15th and 20th level you gain another daily use of this ability and the damage you inflict rises by 1d8.
This benefit replaces the smite evil class feature gained by a standard paladin.
Dragon's Energy (Su)
At 3rd level you gain the vitality of dragons. Each day at dawn you gain temporary hit points equal to your paladin level + 5. These temporary hit points last 24 hours, fading away if they last until the next dawn. These hit points cannot increase your hit points past double your maximum hit points.
This benefit replaces the divine health class feature gained by a standard paladin at 3rd level.
Good Hope (Sp)
You manifest Seira's hope through your blade and deeds. At 6th level, a crusader of the dragon princess can use a good hope spell-like ability once per week, using her paladin class level as her caster level. She can't use this on herself, but only on another creature. At 9th level and every 3 levels thereafter, you gain another weekly use of this ability.
This benefit replaces the standard paladin's remove disease class feature.

Stealth of the Shadowed Angel (Sp)
You are protected by the shadows, hidden from evil's prying eyes. Once per day you can cast nondetection as a spell like ability. Your caster level equals your hit dice.
Channel Energy (Su)
Your knight of Sylica class level stacks with any other classes that grant channel energy. A 10th level cleric/1st level knight of Sylica channels energy as an 11th level cleric, for example.
Light of the Shining Angel (Su)
Radiance from above shines down, wiping away the undead that fear the sun's touch. Whenever you turn undead, the radius of effect is filled with sunlight for one round. This is identical to real sunlight, having all the normal effects of sunlight. This effect is treated as a 3rd level light spell for the sake of interacting with darkness descriptor spells.
Bonus Feat
At 3rd level, you gain a bonus exalted feat.
Resolve of the Opal Angel (Ex)
Through your trials you have gained a preternatural resolve. You gain a +4 bonus to saves against mind affecting spells and abilities.
Protection of Syala (Su)
You have learned how to protect others, to prevent more victims of tragedy. Once per day as a free action, you can protect a number of creatures equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum one creature) with a +4 dodge bonus to AC. This ability lasts 1 round per level. An affected creature loses this protection if it moves more than 10 feet from you. You can affect yourself with this ability. This is identical to the granted power of the family domain; if you already possess this ability you gain a second use per day.
Might of Alicia (Sp)
With your holy touch, evil crumbles. You may cast dispel evil once per day as a spell-like ability. The caster level is equal to your hit dice.
---
Devotee to Sylica [Exalted]
Prerequisite: Must have Alicia or Syala as a patron
Benefit: For the purposes of determining damage from spells or abilities dependent on alignment, you are treated as either lawful or chaotic, whichever is most advantageous. This does not apply to other effects based on alignment, such as the deflection bonus from a protection from chaos or law spell.

Moon Spells
A silverstar can prepare any Moon domain spell as if it were on her divine spell list. The spell uses a spellslot equal to it's level on the Moon domain list. For instance, a cleric/silverstar could prepare Moonblade as a 3rd level cleric spell, and a ranger/silverstar could prepare Moonbeam as a 2nd level ranger spell.
Lunar Sight (Ex)
At 2nd level a silverstar gains low-light vision.
Moon's Hand (Su)
Any heavy mace wielded by a 3rd level silverstar is treated as if it were a +1 shocking heavy mace. If it leaves the hand of the silverstar it reverts to it's original abilities. If the weapon has additional properties, such as frost or impact, these still apply, and if the weapon has an enhancement bonus higher than +1, the higher of the two bonuses is used. At 6th level this improves to a +2 shocking heavy mace, and to a +2 shocking burst heavy mace at level 9.
Tears of Selune (Sp)
A 4th level silverstar can project small balls of luminescent lunar energy from her eyes as a dancing lights spell (torches or will o' the wisps only) at will.
Prophet's Sight (Sp)
Once per day at 5th level, a silverstar is able see as if under the effect of true seeing. In essence, she may give herself true seeing once per day. This ability may not be used on other creatures. At 8th level this increases to two times per day.
Selunite Lycanthropy (Ex)
Upon reaching 6th level, silverstars who contract lycanthropy are treated as natural lycanthropes. Silverstars do not change alignment due to contracting lycanthropy and are aware of their actions while in animal or hybrid form.
Moonshield (Su)
At 7th level, a silverstar learns how to better resist the dark magic of the Shar. She gains a +2 bonus on saves against enchantment, illusion, and necromancy spells.
Moonfire (Sp)
Upon reaching 10th level, a silverstar can cast moonfire 1/day as a spell like ability. Her caster level equals her hit dice.
This exists since I tend to balk at things that break the economy of actions. On demand teleport is pretty handy, at least.
Alternate Class Feature: Cunning Move
While many factotums gain the ability to act above and beyond, others gain the ability to act swiftly to ensure safe escapes from sticky situations.
Class: Factotum
Level: 8th
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain cunning surge.
Benefit: Through pure inspiration you can manage a quick burst of magical movement. By spending 3 inspiration points you can teleport 10 feet per factotum level. Using this ability is a move action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity.
This is from the Manual of the Planes. It's adapted and adjusted to 3.5 as well as some other tweaks. Tweaks not listed in the changelog were made back when I wrote this up for Balmuria 2.
Changelog: Added K:P as a class skill. Style and typo cleanups. Altered the save DC of aura of menace not to suck. Rewrote mystic union to make it a bit more encompassing. Considering you suffer 5/10 spell progression for this class, I figure making the transformation more complete is reasonable. Added a note that a deity may fine tune or adjust the changes of mystic union to suit it.Divine Agent

Skills
Knowledge (Religion) 7 ranks.
Special
The divine agent must have made peaceful contact with her deity or its direct agents (sometimes other divine agents acting on the deity's behalf). Furthermore, a potential divine agent must have completed a specific task assigned by her deity in order to become a divine agent. Once the task is completed, the character can become a divine agent at any point thereafter. After a character has embarked on this path (as a 1st level divine agent), a divine agent cannot become the divine agent of another deity.
Class Skills
The divine agent's class skills (and the key ability for each) are: Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Disguise (Cha), Gather Information (Cha), Heal (Wis), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge (Planes) (Int), Knowledge (Religion) (Int), Profession (Wis), Search (Int), Sense Motive (Wis), Spellcraft (Int), Spot (Wis), and Use Magic Device (Cha).

Granted Domain
A divine agent gains access to one domain chosen from among those her deity offers, and with it the granted power of that domain. Divine agents who were once clerics essentially gain a third domain this way and can prepare their domain spells at each level from the new domain's list if they wish.
No matter what their prior class was, divine agents gain the granted power of the domain they choose. In cases where the granted ability relies on cleric levels or allows channeling energy, use the sum of a character's cleric and divine agent levels to determine the ability's effect.
Contact (Su)
A divine agent of 2nd level or higher may be contacted mentally by her deity or its agents, usually to impart particular knowledge and orders to the divine agent. This contact only functions one way; the divine agent cannot initiate the contact, question the orders, or ask for clarifications. The nature of the contact depends on the deity: Dreams, ghostly visions, and illuminations from above are all possibilities. Contact from the deity rarely interrupts the divine agent's normal actions.
Menacing Aura (Ex)
At 3rd level, a divine agent gains the ability to generate an intangible, invisible aura of menace that weakens hostile creatures within a 20ft radius. Anyone about to attack the divine agent must attempt a Will save (DC is 10 + 1/2 divine agent's hit dice + divine agent's Charisma modifier). Those who fail the saving throw suffer a –2 morale penalty on attacks, checks, and saves for one full day or until they successfully damage the divine agent generating the aura. A creature that made its initial save or damaged the divine agent is immune to that divine agent's aura for one day.
Godly Gift
At 3rd, 6th and 9th levels, the deity bestows on the divine agent a gift. Each deity's gift varies, but it is usually the ability to use a spell from one of the divine agent's domains as a spell-like ability. The deity offers a spell of the divine agent's level or lower. In other words, a 3rd-level divine agent would gain one of her 1st-level, 2nd-level, or 3rd-level domain spells as a spell-like ability. The divine agent may use this ability once per day. The caster level of these spell-like abilities equals the divine agent's hit dice.
Altered Appearance (Ex)
At 4th level, a divine agent begins to show prominent physical modification to match the desires of her deity. For good aligned deities, this often takes the form of golden skin, hair, or eyes. Divine agents of evil-aligned deities might gain horns, antlers, or a pointed tail. Neutral deities may provide a copper or silver tone to the skin, while nature deities may cause a greenish pallor and bark-like hair. Elemental powers may alter their divine agents' appearance by giving a texture to the skin reflecting the element involved. All such alterations are permanent, though disguise or spells may hide them.
Commune (Sp)
A divine agent of 5th level or higher can activate this spell-like ability (as the spell of the same name) once per week. The caster level equals the divine agent's hit dice.
Plane Shift to Deity's Plane (Sp)
A divine agent of 5th level or higher may plane shift to her deity's home plane once per day, and from that plane to the divine agent's native plane. The caster level equals the divine agent's hit dice.
Plane Shift to Any Plane (Sp)
Upon reaching 7th level, a divine agent may plane shift to any plane of existence, as per the spell, once per day. The caster level equals the divine agent's hit dice.
Audience (Sp)
Up to twice per year a divine agent of 8th level or higher may request an audience with her deity, which functions as a double duration commune spell allowing a number of questions equal to double the divine agent's hit dice.
Alignment Shift
If a divine agent is not the same alignment as her deity, then her alignment shifts to match it as soon as the divine agent reaches 8th level.
Mystic Union (Ex)
At 9th level, a divine agent becomes a magical creature. She becomes an outsider native to the deity's home plane rather than her previous race. She gains any alignment subtypes that mach her alignment. Additionally, the divine agent gains damage reduction 10. This damage reduction is bypassed by the opposite alignment of the deity's; a servant of Asmodeus would gain damage reduction 10/chaotic or good. A neutral deity grants damage reduction 15/magic instead. In any case, this damage reduction does not stack with other forms of damage reduction.
Further adjustments may be made at the discretion of the divine agent's deity.
Gate (Sp)
A 10th-level divine agent can activate this spell-like ability (as the spell of the same name, except it only reaches the home plane of the divine agent's deity) once per day. The caster level equals the divine agent's hit dice.
Another option for paladins who don't want a special mount. How useful it is directly hinges on how useful your deity's domains are to you.
Alternate Class Feature: Domain Paladin
While some paladins are shown divine favor by the gift of a celestial mount, your piety is rewarded in another way.
Class: Paladin.
Level: 5th.
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain a special mount.
Benefit: You may select a domain your deity grants access to. You gain the granted ability of this domain. You may use your paladin level in place of cleric level if it calls for your cleric level. In addition, you may add the spells from that domain to your paladin spell list.
This feature allows a paladin to get damage reduction in exchange for his mount. This is mildly useful, moreso if the paladin already has another source of damage reduction/-. It's otherwise identical to a barbarian's damage reduction.
Alternate Class Feature: Battlescarred Paladin
Your trials against evil have tested your mettle. Like iron from the forge, you have emerged strengthened.
Class: Paladin.
Level: 5th.
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain a special mount.
Benefit: You gain damage reduction 1/-. At level 8 it rises to damage reduction 2/- and rises by another point every three levels thereafter. (11, 14, 17, 20, 23, ect.)
This alternate class feature trades a mount for another means of mobility. Flight's always handy to have, especially flight that can't be disrupted by killing your mount.
Alternate Class Feature: Celestial Wings
Like the celestial servants of your deity, you are liberated from the surly bonds of earth.
Class: Paladin.
Level: 5th.
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain a special mount.
Benefit: You grow a pair of white feathered wings. These wings grant a fly speed of 50ft (good).
For the paladin who wants to channel energy better. It fills in the level gap between a dedicated cleric and paladin.
Changelog: Adapted to channel energy.
Alternate Class Feature: Paladin of Radiance
Light shines from you with an intensity to rival the most pious cleric.
Class: Paladin.
Level: 5th.
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain a special mount.
Benefit: You are treated as a cleric of your paladin level to channel energy, instead of a cleric three levels lower than your paladin level.
An option if you prefer not to mess with mounted combat. It's not all -that- great, but neither is knight.
Alternate Class Feature: Ground Knight
Most knights are valiant warriors that charge across the battlefield on snow white stallions. You do not, as you trust only your two feet. You learn to use your feet to the utmost, dashing across the battlefield.
Class: Knight.
Level: 2nd.
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain mounted combat.
Benefit: You gain a +10ft bonus to movement speed. This functions while wearing any armor, but not while carrying a heavy load.
This is a conversion of Frost Rager from Frostburn. I tweaked it here and there to work better. Power Attack was dropped as a prerequisite. Power Attack isn't called on anywhere in the class plus it's already full of prerequisites. One-Two Punch was changed to Flurry of Blows. It's the same thing as 1st level flurry of blows, so why change what's not broken? Likewise I trimmed down burning rage, there's no need for extra unarmed damage dice. This is designed for gestalt, go take a dip in monk or battle dancer if you want to raise those. Hell, with the PrC's design, that would make a lot of sense. Instead I had it add extra fire damage dice and I wasn't stingy with them. Fire is the most resisted D&D element, so I figured it wasn't a bad idea.
The 50% miss rate and Blazing Rend are the highlights of this class. The 50% miss more than makes up for the AC problem with rage, to the point of being arguably too good. Blazing Rend is nice since it's extra damage without a to-hit roll. I think being fire-based does hold this class back enough to make it balanced, though.

Burning Rage (Su)
While raging, the character grows larger and more massive, and his boiling sweat warping the air as it steams out of his pores, shrouding his body wavering distortions. The Inferno Heart's actual size category does not change (nor does his space/reach), but he does gain 20% concealment from the superheated air around his body. In addition, an Inferno Heart's unarmed attacks deal an additional 1d6 points of fire damage.
Flurry of Blows (Ex)
This functions as the monk ability of the same name. If the Inferno Heart possesses this ability already, his Inferno Heart level stacks with the other source of this ability to determine lowering the penalty from flurry and for greater flurry.
Boiling Blood (Su)
At 2nd level, an Inferno Heart's blood becomes boiling hot. His wounds instantly cauterize and stop bleeding; he is immune to attacks that cause wounding or bleeding effects. If reduced to negative hit points, he automatically stabilizes. He still takes 1 point of damage if he takes any actions while at 0 or negative hit points, however.
Absorb Heat (Su)
At 3rd level, while raging, the Inferno Heart not only gains immunity to fire as normal, but it heals him. For every 2 points of fire damage that would have otherwise have been dealt by an attack, the Inferno Heart heals 1 point of damage.
Improved Burning Rage (Su)
At 4th level while raging, the Inferno Heart's natural concealment bonus rises to 50%. His unarmed attacks now deal an extra 2d6 points of fire damage, this replaces the previous 1d6 points of bonus fire damage. In addition, he deals an extra 2d10 points of fire damage on a critical hit.
Blazing Rend (Ex)
At 5th level, an Inferno Heart gains the ability to rend a target. In any round that the Inferno Heart hits the same foe with two or more unarmed attacks while in a rage, he immediately deals an additional 2d8 points of damage (plus 1.5 times his Strength bonus), plus the bonus fire damage from Improved Burning Rage. If you are smaller or larger than medium, the base damage for rend changes appropriately.
Healer. They have healing, more healing and even more healing just for kicks. They have absurd, redundant amounts of ways to mend wounds. With the exception of a few obscure splatbook spells and a few spells that aren't suitable for her, she has every single conjuration (healing) spell I could find.
At heart the healer is mostly an NPC class. They excel at healing and healing alone. Most PCs prefer to be more active.
Most of the spell selection is self explanatory. Deathwatch has the evil descriptor but that's the fault of the basic spell being weird. The healer has the various law/chaos versions of certain spells, she can cast whichever match her alignment as usual. Finally, miracle is there because a lot of high level and epic effects require a wish or miracle to undo. This gives the healer a burst in versatility near epic, but it's unavoidable. They need miracle to function at their job, so oh well.

Class Features
All of the following are class features of the healer.
Weapon and Armor Proficiencies
A healer is proficient with all simple weapons. Healers are proficient with medium armor and light shields.
Healing Hands (Ex)
Whenever a healer casts a spell that cures hit point damage or channels energy, she adds her Wisdom modifier plus one half of her healer level(Minimum 1) to the amount of damage healed. For instance, if a 5th-level healer with an 18 Wisdom casts cure light wounds, she cures 1d8+5 points of damage normally, plus an additional 6 points of damage. This bonus applies only to spells of the healing subschool that she casts as a healer, not to those that she may have by virtue of levels in another class.
Channel Energy (Su)
As the cleric ability of the same name. Note that a healer applies her bonus from healing hands to the total of her channeling dice. For example, a 5th level healer with a Wisdom score of 18 channels energy for 3d6+6 points of positive energy healing/damage.
Skill Focus (Heal)
A healer's focused training grants her this bonus feat at 2nd level. If she already has that feat, she may choose a different one.
Aura of Protection (Su)
At 3rd level, a healer's devotion protects her from surrounding violence. So as long as she remains true to her cause, enemies will feel a supernatural aversion to harm her. A healer emanates a permanent aura that causes an effect identical to the sanctuary spell, with a save DC equal to 10 + one half the healer's class level + the healer's Wis modifier. Once an attacking creature succeeds on the saving throw, or is victim to a healer's attack, the effect is suppressed for the creature for the next 24 hours.
Effortless Healing (Ex)
At 5th level, a healer has learned to cast spells of the healing subschool with minimal effort. She may cast such spells without provoking attacks of opportunity. This ability applies only to spells of the healing subschool that she casts as a healer, not to those that she may have by virtue of levels in another class.
Lingering Healing (Su)
When casting a spell of the healing subschool, the healer's power continues to restore the target after her touch. For a number of rounds equal to her healer class level, the target gains fast healing equal to the healer's wisdom modifier. This overlaps with fast healing provided by non-permanent sources, such as vigor.
Unicorn Companion (Ex)
When a healer attains 8th level, the deities recognize her devotion and grant her a celestial unicorn companion as her mount and aide. The unicorn, a symbol of healing and purity, serves the healer willingly and unswervingly.
Once per day, as a full round action, the healer may magically call her companion from the celestial realms in which it resides. The companion immediately appears adjacent to the healer and remains for 2 hours per healer level. It may be dismissed at any time as a free action. The companion is the same creature each time it is called, though the healer may release a particular companion from service to gain a companion of a different kind. Each time the companion is called, it appears in full health, regardless of any damage it may have taken previously. The companion also appears wearing or carrying any gear it had when it was last dismissed. Calling a companion is a conjuration (calling) effect.
A healer of 12th level or higher may select from alternative lists of companions (see below). Should she select a companion from one of these alternative lists, the creature gains abilities as if the character's healer level were lower than it actually is. Subtract the value indicated in the appropriate list header from the character's healer level and compare the result with the healer level entry on the table in the sidebar to determine the companion's powers. (If this adjustment would reduce the healer's effective level to 0 or lower, she can't have that creature as a companion.) For example, a 12th-level healer could select a celestial lammasu as a companion. The celestial lammasu would have characteristics and special abilities as if the healer were 8th level (taking into account the -4 adjustment) instead of 12th level.
Should the healer's companion die, it immediately disappears, leaving behind any equipment it was carrying. The healer may not call another companion for 30 days or until she gains a healer level, whichever comes first, even if the companion is somehow returned from the dead. During this 30-day period, the healer is distraught and takes a -4 penalty on attack rolls and weapon damage rolls.
Panacea (Su)
At 10th level, the healer may remove negative afflictions when casting a spell from the healing subschool or channeling energy. She may do so a number of times per day equal to her Wisdom modifier. This ability functions as a panacea spell, save that it does not restore extra hit points from the final function of panacea. If the spell or channel energy affects multiple targets, the Healer may affect up to three. If she wishes to affect more in that casting, she may consume another daily use to affect another three targets, and so on for as many targets and uses of panacea she has.
Overflowing Energy (Ex)
At 12th level, the healer has absorbed so much positive energy that she is immune to the ravages of negative energy. The healer is now immune to negative energy damage, such as that from a inflict light wounds or harm spell.
Emergency Healing (Su)
At 14th level, the healer can call on the life energy within her to affect a sudden surge of restoration in a split second. A number of times per day equal to her Wisdom modifier divided by 3 (Minimum 1), the healer may cast any spell of the healing subschool as an immediate action.
Life's Caress (Su)
At this late stage of a healer's career, her entire being is suffused with so much positive energy that she shrugs off negative levels. The healer is now immune to negative levels, such as from an enervation spell or the attacks of certain undead.
True Calling (Ex)
So great is the healer's devotion to restoration that even death recedes from her call. When attempting to resurrect the dead, she adds a +50% bonus to the resurrection chance roll. She may exceed the normal caps for a resurrection roll, to a maximum of one hundred. In addition, creatures revived by the healer are not subject to changes from being brought back.
Brilliant Apotheosis (Ex)
At 20th level, the endless flow of life energy in the healer has changed her from her mortal roots into a creature of pure energy. The healer gains the vivacious creature template from the Planar Handbook. The healer does not become incorporeal, which means she does not lose her natural armor bonus, attacks relying on physical touch are not impeded, and she does not lose her Strength score. She gains all other benefits from the template, plus she may disable her positive energy aura as a free action and does not take Strength damage for keeping it suppressed. In addition, she gains the good subtype.
Spells
A healer casts divine spells (the same type of spells available to clerics), which are drawn from the healer list. She can cast any spell she knows without preparing it ahead of time the way a cleric must.
To cast a spell, a healer must have a Wisdom score of 10 + the spell's level (Wis 10 for 0 level spells, Wis 11 for 1st-level spells, and so forth). The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a healer's spell is 10 + the spell's level + the healer's Wisdom modifier.
Like other spellcasters, a healer can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. Her base daily spell allotment is identical to that of a sorcerer. In addition, she receives bonus spells for a high Wisdom.
Unlike a cleric, a healer need not prepare her spells in advance. She can cast any spell she knows at any time, assuming she has not yet used up her spells per day for that spell level.
A healer majors in healing. They get any healing spell or spell reasonably related to this. They minor in protection and a very few bits of buffing.
0—create water, cure minor wounds, deathwatch, detect magic, detect poison, guidance, light, mending, purify food and drink, read magic, resistance, virtue.

Alternate Class Feature: Nature's Protection
Oh hell no. You're a man, dammit! Men don't have unicorns following them around! You dive into the front line all the time, you need something impressive to protect you!
Class: Healer.
Level: 8th.
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain a unicorn companion.
Benefit: Your devotion to mending the wounds of the world has earned you favor. You gain an animal companion; you are treated as a druid equal to your healer level.
While the main function of a healer is to heal, one of the secondary roles is protecting her allies. This explores that role and expands it, albeit at the cost of some of her signature healing skill.
Alternate Class Feature: Healer's Protection
Instead of continued healing, your touch provides a moment's sacred protection.
Class: Healer.
Level: 7th.
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain lingering healing.
Benefit: When casting a spell of the healing subschool, the healer's power momentarily shields the target. For one round the target gains a sacred bonus to armor class and saving throws equal to the healer's class level divided by 5. This protection expires just before the healer's next turn.
To gain this benefit, the spell cast must restore at least 1 hit point to the target.
You rarely see ACFs for capstones. There's a good reason for that, but in this case I have easy grist to work with. This was my original idea for the capstone. I feel it's close to competitive mechanically, but brilliant apotheosis is far more fitting and interesting a capstone.
Alternate Class Feature: Undying Flesh.
Instead of ascending your mortal roots, you focus the tides of healing into your body as a constant, never ending flow. You become nearly indestructible, regenerating wounds in a blink of the eye. Assuming the blow even manages to wound you, that is.

Fast Movement (Ex)
The speedmaster gains bonuses to his movement speed as noted on the table above. This bonus that stacks with other similar bonuses from class features, but it is not an enhancement bonus. This bonus functions only when you wear light armor or no armor. The pattern noted continues indefinitely past level 10.
Speed Burst (Su)
A speedmaster can push his body beyond its limits, granting him preternatural swiftness. Once per day as a free action he can double his movement speed. This lasts for 1 minute. For example, Johann has a a movement speed of 90ft. When using speed burst, his speed becomes 180ft. This ability multiplies your speed after it is fully calculated, it is not an enhancement bonus. At 4th level and every three levels thereafter, you gain another use of this ability.
Blazing Speed (Su)
At 2nd level, the speedmaster is counted as being under the affect of a haste spell when using speed burst.
Shattering Blow (Ex)
By 3rd level, the speedmaster learns how to condense all of his power into one devastating strike. As a full round action, the speedmaster may charge one enemy. If this charge is successful hit, it deals an extra 1d6 points of damage per 10ft moved in the charge. This damage stacks with skirmish and similar sources of damage. If you possess pounce or a similar ability, this bonus damage only applies to the first attack you make. In addition, the force of a shattering blow sends the target flying 10ft per 30ft moved in the shattering blow's charge. The direction the victim is sent flying is the direction the speedmaster was moving in towards the victim; in other words straight back from the angle the speedmaster hit the victim. The victim is knocked prone at the end of the move; if they hit a solid object they also take 1d6 points of damage per 10ft moved. If they hit another creature, both take the damage and both are knocked prone. While the target sent flying gets no saving throw, another creature in the path of the target is allowed a reflex save to avoid the collision (DC 10 + 1/2 your hit dice + your Dex modifier). If avoided, the target's flight continues.
Making a shattering blow is not without risk. If you miss, the backlash of all the movement energy you've gathered deals 5d6 points of damage to you.
Greater Shattering Blow (Su)
At 6th level, the speedmaster only takes 3d6 damage from a missed shattering blow. In addition, you are so fast that foes have no chance to strike you. Moving while making a shattering blow does not provoke attacks of opportunity.
Fast Healing (Ex)
At 7th level, your healing has learned to accelerate just as much as the rest of your body. You gain fast healing 5. Every five levels hereafter, your fast healing rises another 5 points.
Dislocating Speed (Su)
At 8th level, you are so fast that material objects slip by you like air. Your extreme speed allows you to pass through non-living, non-creature materials when moving, as if you were incorporeal. You are under the same restrictions, so any effect that stops incorporeal movement also stops you. You must end your turn outside of any objects. If not, you are violently expelled in a random direction, taking 2d6 points of damage per ten feet of material you pass through.
Greater Blazing Speed (Su)
At 9th level, the speedmaster is so fast that he is treated as always being under the effects of a haste spell.
Explosive Acceleration (Su)
The raw speed of your passing can send shockwaves all about, followed by intense sonic booms. Whenever you make a shattering blow, you may choose to make an explosive acceleration. Any creature within 20ft of any point of your charge is exposed to the shockwaves and sonic booms you create. This deals an amount of damage equal to one half of the total bonus damage of your shattering blow. For example, a shattering blow that travels 200ft deals 20d6 points of bonus damage and thus explosive acceleration deals 10d6 damage to all within range. This damage is half force damage and half sonic damage. A creature sent flying more than 20ft by the shattering blow is not subject to this damage, as by the time it catches up he has already been sent out of the range of it.
In addition, fragile objects are shattered if they are within the explosive acceleration. Treat this as a shatter spell's area function that shatters fragile things such as nonmagical crystal, glass, ceramic or porcelain.
Bonus Feats
A speedmaster gains an epic bonus feat at level 5 and every 5 levels thereafter.
Speedmaster Bonus Feat List
Dire Charge, Epic Dodge, Epic Prowess, Epic Reflexes, Extra Speed Burst, Fast Healing, Great Ability (Dexterity only), Improved Combat Reflexes, Improved Weapon Finesse, Multiaction, Precision Speed, Spellcasting Harrier, Superior Explosive Acceleration, Superior Initiative, Superior Shattering Blow.
Extra Speed Burst [Epic]
Prerequisite: Speed Burst 2/day, dex 23
Benefit: You may use your speed burst ability an additional two times per day.
Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects stack.
Precision Speed [Epic]
Prerequisite: Explosive Acceleration, dex 27
Benefit: You have superior control over your body, allowing you to control the shockwaves your speed causes. You may exclude any creatures you wish from your explosive acceleration.
Superior Explosive Acceleration [Epic]
Prerequisite: Explosive Acceleration, dex 31
Benefit: Your explosive acceleration ability now deals 3/4ths of the shattering blow's damage. For example a shattering blow that travels 200ft deals 20d6 points of bonus damage to the target and 15d6 damage through explosive acceleration.
Superior Shattering Blow [Epic]
Prerequisite: Greater Shattering Blow, con 23
Benefit: You take no damage from a missed shattering blow.
Epic swiftblade. Swiftblade makes for a piss-poor epic progression, as all the abilities are one-offs with no potential for easy improvement. Swift Surge continues and that's really it. I gave it full spellcasting advancement; this is standard for an epic PrC progression. By this point you've paid off any empty spell-levels for a PrC. Speedmaster came out of trying to take the themes of swiftblade and make an epic PrC for it. It didn't quite work out as a smooth transition class, becoming something that stands on its own instead.

Improved Swift Surge [Epic]
Prerequisite: Swift Surge+2/20ft/+2d6
Benefit: Your swift surge improves by one step. If your dodge bonus and bonus damage are equal, your bonus to attack rolls and dodge bonuses increases by one. If your dodge bonus is higher than your bonus damage, your bonus damage and speed increases by +1d6 and 10ft, respectively.
Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects stack.
I prefer not to give out pounce whenever possible. It fits the pattern of how dire charge was changed from a pounce-style effect to a charge doubler.
Alternate Class Feature: Dance of the Furious Unicorn
With a mighty charge, you emulate the piercing power of a furious unicorn.
Class: Battle Dancer.
Level: 11th.
Replaces: If you select Dance of the Furious Unicorn, you do not get Dance of the Springing Tiger.
Benefit: An 11th-level battle dancer with 14 ranks in Tumble can spring upon an opponent with the ferocity of charging unicorn. When charging, she can attempt a DC 20 Tumble check. If she succeeds, her first attack at the end of the tumble deals double damage.
This is a legacy PrC, one that was used by Seira in B1. It's a curious PrC, a bastardization of Enlightened Fist from Complete Arcane with some dragon elements added in. Some of the features are of little use in gestalt and others are antiquated mechanics. Still, it's worth posting as a historical curiosity. I might - emphasis on might - revise it into something else later. If I do, I'll combine it with reworking Seira's stat block.

Draconic Enlightenment (Ex)
A character's dragon-pact wizard levels stack with draconic levels for the purposes of determining draconic hit dice and any class-bases bonuses. For example, a 3rd-level dragon/1st-level dragon-pact wizard's hit dice for determining the saving throw for her breath weapon is as if she were a 4th level dragon.
Draconic Claw (Su)
The dragon's natural weapons are treated as magic weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
Claw of Energy (Su)
A dragon-pact wizard may choose to manifest her draconic energy in her natural weapons. This energy matches the energy type of the dragon she has made a pact with and deals an extra 1d6 damage. If the dragon lacks an energy affinity, she defaults to fire. Using this power counts as expending a draconic breath attempt and follows the same rules as breath weapons do. Using this power counts as a free action and lasts for 1 round.
Arcane Claw (Su)
Beginning at 3rd level, a dragon-pact wizard can expend a breath weapon use to cast and deliver a touch spell with a natural weapon. Using this power counts as expending a draconic breath attempt and follows the same rules as breath weapons do. If the dragon is able of using this power in a given round, she can only use it once, and it counts as a free action.
Arcane Shielding (Sp)
At fourth level, the dragon-pact wizard may cast fire shield once per day as a spell like ability. Fire based dragons use the warm shield, cold based dragons use the cool shield. Other dragon types may choose between the two.
Hold Ray (Ex)
At 6th level or higher, a dragon-pact wizard can cast any spell that produces a ray effect as a touch spell instead. The spell's range is reduced to touch, and its Effect entry is replaced with "Target: Creature touched." She can deliver the spell with either a touch attack or a normal attack with a natural weapon, and she can hold the charge as with a normal touch spell. A dragon-pact wizard can combine this ability with arcane claw to deliver a ray-effect spell as par the condition on the use of arcane claw.
Arcane Resistance (Ex)
At 8th level, a dragon-pact wizard gains spell resistance equal to 10 + the total of her draconic hit dice. Note that due to Draconic Enlightenment, class levels from this class stack with draconic hit dice.
Draconic Ascension (Ex)
At 10th level, the dragon-pact wizard no longer takes penalties for aging and cannot be magically aged. Any such penalties already taken stay in place. Bonuses still accrue, and the dragon-pact wizard still dies when her time is up.
I'm not gonna bullshit you - Dragon-Pact Wizard does not make much of an epic progression. All the abilities are one-off with no easy way to build a progression. I gave it a bonus feat once every 3 levels and called it a day. At least they have a decent list of bonus feats to choose from. I normally wouldn't bother with an epic progression for a class like this, but I need one on the books for Seira's build.

Spontaneous Widen Spell (Su)
The war wizard may cast a spell as if it were under the effects of the Widen Spell feat. She does not need to prepare this in advance, and it does not increase the casting time or use a higher spell slot. The war wizard can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 1 + the modifier for her main casting ability (Intelligence or Charisma, as appropriate).
Epic Metamagic Feat
At 2nd level, the war wizard gains a bonus epic metamagic feat of her choice that she meets the requirements for.
Enhanced Spell Area (Su)
Any time a war wizard of 3rd level casts a spell modified by the Widen Spell feat, any numeric measurements of the spell's area increase by 200% rather than 100%. Thus, a widened fireball spell would have a 60ft radius spread instead of a 40ft radius spread.
Sudden Enhance
At 4th level the war wizard gains Sudden Enhance as a bonus feat.
War Spell (Su)
Once per day, a 5th level war wizard can call on a spell cast with the Widen Spell or Spontaneous Widen Spell benefit, and increase the spell's area exponentially. The radius of this spell increases by 1000%.
Sudden Enhance [Epic, Metamagic]
Prerequisites: Sudden Maximize.
Benefit: Once per day, you may apply the benefits of the Enhance Spell feat to any spell you cast, without increasing its casting time or slot level, or specially preparing it ahead of time. You may still use Enhance Spell normally if you have it.
The Prosecutor is the profession of a deeply lawful warrior who wishes to overthrow chaos in every form. Those who value law and order above everything else gravitate to this class, so that they may better apprehend those who choose chaos. It is the class of the law-zealot who wishes to judge and condemn disorder.
Prosecutors come from lawful aligned organizations and churches, as well as from the ranks of powerful lawful outsiders. The large majority of Prosecutors are Axiomatic Neutral with strong ties to Mechanus. For a time the lessons of the Prosecutor were a closely guarded secret of Mechanus, but over time worthy mortals, devils and even a few archons have found the way to this path as well. For those who desire to defeat chaos in its infinite forms, it offers potent powers to do so. High Charisma warriors, such as marshals and paladins, are well suited to this class. As a result of the prerequisites to this class, a Prosecutor is skilled in subduing foes with nonlethal damage and may have some talent at disarming or tripping them. Prosecutors prefer to take chaotic opponents alive when possible and practical, though they gain abilities to further punish and slay chaos at higher levels.

Reveal Chaos (Su)
A prosecutor is always under the effect of a detect chaos spell. He merely needs to glance at a creature or object to gain the benefit of studying them for three rounds.
Castigate Chaos (Su)
A prosecutor can reveal the weakness of chaos, enfeebling those who champion it. As a standard action he may point or gesture at a chaotic target. Unless the target succeeds on a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 prosecutor's hit dice + prosecutor's Cha modifier), the target withers to become weak, sick and deformed. This castigation inflicts a -5 penalty to attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, ability checks, skill checks, caster level checks, armor class and saving throws. These penalties last for a number of minutes equal to the prosecutor's hit dice. This ability may be used once per day at 1st level and another time per day every 4 levels thereafter. If the prosecutor uses this ability on a non-chaotic creature, it fails and that use is wasted.
This ability may be dispelled by dispel law, wish or miracle.
Blade of Order's Wrath (Su)
Starting at second level, the prosecutor deals extra damage to chaotic creatures. Any successful melee or ranged attack to a chaotic creature deals an extra 5 points of damage. This extra damage rises by 5 every 4 levels thereafter. This damage applies to melee or ranged weapons as well as natural weapons, but not to spells or supernatural abilities.
At 4th level, a creature who takes damage from blade of order's wrath must make a will save (DC 10 + 1/2 prosecutor's hit dice + prosecutor's Cha modifier) or be dazed for 1 round. A creature need only make one save against this ability per round, multiple hits do not require multiple saves. However, more than one creature can be affected if each is struck in a round. At 8th level, a fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 prosecutor's hit dice + prosecutor's Cha modifier) is required as well or the target is permanently deafened.
Judge, Jury and Executioner (Su)
While the prosecutor respects law and attempts to see it carried out whenever possible, he is given special dispensation to take action against the most chaotic. When facing an opponent who radiates an overwhelming aura of chaos (as by detect chaos), the prosecutor always deals maximum damage with his melee and ranged attacks. Further, all critical threats are automatically confirmed. This applies to weapon attacks, natural weapons and supernatural abilities, but not to spells or spell-like abilities. Finally, a creature who is subject to this ability and is slain by the prosecutor cannot be raised if mortal. A chaotic outsider slain takes triple the normal time to resurrect to its native plane, one slain on its native plane cannot be resurrected like a mortal.
A properly worded wish or miracle cast at the site of the creature's death can allow a creature to be resurrected, as can the direct intervention of a deity. The tripled wait for a chaotic outsider slain outside of its plane cannot be reduced.
Creatures with divine rank zero or greater are not subject to a delayed or prevented resurrection with this ability.
Judgment (Su)
At 7th level, chaotic outsiders slain by the prosecutor stay dead. A chaotic outsider slain outside of its native plane is considered to have died on its native plane and does not resurrect. A successful Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 prosecutor's hit dice + prosecutor's Cha modifier) negates this final fate.
Creatures with divine rank zero or greater are not subject to this ability.
Shield of Law (Su)
The blessings of law directly shield the prosecutor at 10th level. He is treated as being under the effects of shield of law at all times. The DC for an attacker to resist being slowed is DC 10 + 1/2 prosecutor's hit dice + prosecutor's Cha modifier.
Bonus Feats
A prosecutor gains an epic bonus feat at level 5 and every 5 levels thereafter.

Detect Illusions (Sp)
A fey paladin is able to discern reality from illusion with ease. This functions as detect evil with the following modifications.
1st Round
Presence or absence of illusions.
2nd Round
Number of illusions in the area and the spell level of the most potent illusion present.
3rd Round
The spell level and location of each illusion. If an illusion is outside your line of sight, then you discern its direction but not its exact location. An illusion you detect in this way is automatically disbelieved.
Illusion Magic (Ex)
The fey paladin adds the following spells to her spell list:
1st
Color Spray, Silent Image.
2nd
Hypnotic Pattern, Mirror Image.
3rd
Major Image, Misdirection.
4th
Greater Mirror Image, Rainbow Pattern.
Fairy Dragon Mount (Su)
Instead of the normal mount, a fey paladin gains a fairy dragon as an erstwhile companion. It advances as normal for a special mount. A fairy dragon mount will be of a proper size for the rider, i.e., one size larger. Apply the normal modifications to the fairy dragon from the size change, though it does not gain or lose hit dice from this size change. See here for the fairy dragon.

Epic vigilante spell list
The epic vigilante's spell list includes all bard spells from the abjuration, divination, illusion, transmutation and necromancy schools.
Curse of the Guilty [Epic]
Prerequisite: Inescapable guilt, cha 23
Benefit: When you successfully smite the guilty, the target is also cursed, as if by a bestow curse spell. The caster level equals your hit dice. The exact conditions of the curse are chosen at the time of your smite. The target must survive your smite the guilty for this ability to work. Creatures slain by smite the guilty are not affected, even if later raised. Due to the vehemence of your conviction against the guilty, this curse can only be removed by a wish, miracle or a remove curse with a caster level equal to your hit dice. This is a supernatural ability, spell resistance applies.
Improved Quick Search and Hide [Epic]
Prerequisite: Quick Hide, Quick Search, dex 21
Benefit: You may search a 5-foot-by-5-foot area or a volume of goods 5 feet on a side or use Bluff to create a diversion to hide as a swift action, instead of a move action.
Inescapable Guilt [Epic]
Prerequisite: Smite the guilty 3/day, cha 21
Benefit: Whenever you successfully smite the guilty, the target is also effected by a mark of justice spell. The exact mark and conditions to manifest it are chosen at the time of your smite. The target must survive your smite the guilty for this ability to work. Creatures slain by smite the guilty are not affected, even if later raised. This is a supernatural ability, spell resistance applies.
No Escape for the Wicked [Epic]
Prerequisite: Curse of the Guilty, cha 25
Benefit: Your curses are almost impossible to remove. The caster level needed for remove curse to remove your curse rises by five. In addition, the caster of wish or miracle must make an opposed caster level check against your curse to remove the curse. Failure results in the curse not being removed.
This prestige class 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. It has trouble working in normal play, since it's an 8 level investment to meet the spellcasting prerequisite.

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 and Charisma. These slots may hold any spell of an appropriate level from the paladin and ranger lists. The caster level of these spells is your ranger caster level plus your paladin caster level, while the save DCs are 10 + spell level + your Wisdom modifier + your Charisma modifier.
In addition, any feat or ability that affects ranger or paladin spellcasting affects your combined pool of spells. Taking levels in a prestige class that advances ranger or paladin spellcasting advances both of them.
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. The save DCs of her spells would be 23 + spell level.

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.
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. Further, physical ranged attacks against you suffer a 20% miss chance. At 12th level, these bonuses increases to +2 and 50%, respectively.
The heavens are known for songs that herald the birth of new souls, great victories over evil and righteous souls coming home to rest. This celestial music is the domain of angels and the rare, epic mortals completely devoted to good.

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.
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%.

A quick note here. Epic favored soul is based off material provided in an epic insights article. The differences in design can be traced back to that. It's essentially an encapsulation of that article. I personally prefer to work through epic feats instead, which allow for modularity. I can get the epic class writeup done and then add epic feats to support it as needed, rather than figuring out all the tricks it gets up front.Epic Favored Soul

Rapture of the Prophet [Epic]
Prerequisite: Prophet's Sight 3/day, wis 19
Benefit: You are attuned to Selune's will, granting you visions and knowledge beyond mortal ken. Once per day as a swift action, you may ask a single question to Selune. It is answered as if by a commune spell.
Special: You may select this feat more than once. Each time you do, you gain another use of Rapture of the Prophet per day.
Sacred Moonfire [Epic]
Prerequisite: Moonfire 2/day, Consecrate Spell.
Benefit: Your moonfire ability is treated as being consecrated. In addition, the damage it causes raises by 10d8; living creatures take 20d8 damage and undead and shapechangers take 30d8 damage.
Unbound Prophet's Sight [Epic]
Prerequisite: Prophet's Sight 4/day, wis 25
Benefit: You are treated as always being under the effect of prophet's sight. This gives you true seeing at all times.
Crystalvein
Crystalvein is salt crystals from the quasi-elemental plane of Salt. They are known for being viciously sharp and for their force-shredding abilities, as well as being notoriously difficult to mine. Any weapon made from crystalvein is considered keen and wounding, as well as being treated one point higher for its enhancement bonus. Crystalvein weapons ignore force effects that grant armor class bonuses, such as shield or mage armor. On a successful hit, any force effects or force spells active on the target are treated as being targeted by a dispel magic effect with a dispel modifier of +21.
Creating a weapon out of crystalvein costs an additional 125,000 gold, assuming a supply of the material can be found.
Superior Dispelling [Synergy]
Price: +4 bonus
Caster Level: 30th
Aura: Overwhelming abjuration
Synergy Prerequisite: Greater Dispelling
This weapon functions as a greater dispelling weapon, except that when you activate it, the creature struck is affected as if by a targeted superb dispelling effect. A superb dispelling weapon functions three times per day.
This is an epic weapon ability.
New Disease: Song of Ending
DC 40; immediate onset, 1d8 Charisma drain and despair.
Heroes who fight against The Lady of Loss may find themselves cursed with the song of ending. This disease causes the victim to be infected by the pure nothingness that Shar represents. The victim constantly hears the echo of the song of ending that is forever sung within Shar's domain. Those that hear it lose hope and eventually the sense of self, dying soon thereafter. In addition to the normal ability score drain of the disease, a creature infected with the song of ending is treated as being under a permanent crushing despair spell. This cannot be dispelled without removing the disease.
A creature reduced to zero Charisma by song of ending dies, its body rising one round later as a greater shadow. The shadow must be slain before the victim can be resurrected. In any event, dying from the Song of Ending imposes a -20% chance to any resurrection chance rolls.
Song of ending may only be cured by a heal, wish or miracle spell cast on consecrated ground. A divine caster with access to the Hope domain may use remove disease to counter the song of ending. To do so requires a successful caster level check against DC 40.

No Thought (Ex)
War Dancers learn to fight purely on instinct, without thought or perception to hinder them. They may choose to use their Charisma modifier instead of their Strength modifier on attack and damage rolls.
Unarmed Progression (Ex)
War Dancer stacks with battle dancer, monk or any other unarmed progression classes for the sake of unarmed damage.
Dance of Divine Might (Su)
At 2nd level, a war dancer can use her own personal energy to empower a divine spellcaster's spells. The spell is treated as if the divine caster had used the Empower Spell metamagic feat. The war dancer can use this ability once per day at 2nd level, twice per day at 4th level, three times per day at 6th level, and four times per day at 8th level. She must make a successful Spellcraft check (DC 10 + spell level) to enhance the spell. A failed check does not count as a use of the ability. Using this ability is an full round action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity. Once used, the potential benefit lasts until the divine spellcaster casts a spell or until your next turn begins. You must be within 30ft of the divine spellcaster to be empowered.
At 8th level and above, the war dancer can apply the Maximize Spell feat instead of Empower Spell. The Spellcraft DC is 15 + spell level. She must decide which on beginning the dance of divine might. A war dancer cannot empower an already empowered spell, or maximize an already maximized one.
Dancing with the Elements (Ex)
Beginning at 3rd level, the war dancer gains a bonus on all saving throws against spells and spell-like abilities. This bonus is +2 at 3rd level, +4 at 5th level, +6 at 7th level and +8 at 9th level.
Dance of No Thoughts (Su)
Three times per day, a war dancer of 6th level or higher can fall into a trance that allows her to perform actions quickly but with perfect clarity. For a single round, the War Dancer can act as if under the effect of a haste spell. Using this ability is a free action.
Diamond Soul (Ex)
At 9th level the war dancer gains spell resistance equal to her war dancer level + 15.
Dance of All and Nothing (Su)
A war dancer of 10th level has recognized the deep truth that all her ability scores spring from the same essence. In a moment of perfect clarity, she can use her highest ability score modifier when making a skill check, attack roll, damage roll, or saving throw, in place of the ability score modifier she would normally use. For example, she could add her Constitution modifier to a damage roll instead of her Strength or Wisdom modifier, her Charisma modifier to her Reflex saving throw instead of her Dexterity modifier, or her Intelligence modifier to her Spot check instead of her Wisdom modifier.
The war dancer can use this ability a number of times per day equal to her highest ability score modifier.
Changelog: Added a small booster to stunning fist save DCs, as the ability was a little weak before.
Mastery of the Stunning Fist
Class: Monk.
Level: 15th.
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain quivering palm.
Benefit: Your mastery of the art of the stunning fist lets you weave it into your blows like an artist painting a canvas. You may designate any number of attacks in a round as stunning fist attempts. Each one consumes a daily use of stunning fist as usual. You may only use target an individual creature once per round with stunning fist, however. In addition, the save DC of your stunning fist attempts rises by 1.

Some classes don't make for good epic progressions. Contemplative is filled with one-off abilities that don't lend themselves to it. The only thing it has going for it is that you can get a lot of bonus feats. I try and spice up epic progressions if possible, but there's really not much to work with here. I'd recommend going into a new and/or epic PrC. I may work up some epic feats for it in the future in light of this.Epic Contemplative

Numerology (Su)
A numerologist specializes in channeling the power that numbers represent. At 1st level he may do this once per day, and gains another use of numerology per day for each additional level he gains in this class. Using numerology is a standard action. Numerology only affects yourself, you cannot target other creatures with a numerology. Numerology has various powers, as detailed below. Each numerology lasts for 10 minutes. You may only have one numerology active at any one time.
One (Su)
At the beginning there is but one, and that one is the self. With the sense of self, all else is defined. By using this numerology, you bolster yourself greatly. You may grant yourself a +4 insight bonus to one of your ability scores.
Two (Su)
By looking into the self, understanding of two follows. The inevitable, fated dualogy of the body and soul creates two from one. By using this numerology, you may use the spirit to defend the body or the body to defend the spirit. You may choose to use your Fortitude save instead of your Will save or your Will save instead of your Fortitude save. This applies to all relevant saving throws that occur during the duration.
Three (Su)
After two is understood, this basic truth leads to the understanding of the concept of truth. With truth comes three, for three is the absolute number of truth. By using this numerology, you gain the benefit of a see invisibility spell. In addition you are immune to illusions for the duration. You automatically disbelieve any illusion and you are immune to any illusory effects, such as displacement or rainbow pattern. Effects that overcome true seeing defeat this numerology.
Four (Su)
With the understanding of truth comes the greatest and hardest truth of all: death. The numerologist learns this truth and accepts it, and in return gains mystical power over it. By using this numerology, you gain immunity to negative energy and energy drain. While using this numerology, undead perceive you as undead, despite your living status.
Five (Su)
Self, body and soul, truth, death. By learning four of the most primal numbers in Creation, you have unlocked great power. By combining them, you use the truth of the self and soul to overcome the truth of death. By using this numerology, you cannot die by hit point damage. Being reduced to 0 or lower hit points does not cause you to be staggered, disabled, dying or any other negative effect during this numerology. However, the inevitability of death will not rest, and while using this numerology, all critical threats against you are automatically confirmed. If you are at -10 hit points or lower when this numerology ends, you immediately die. This numerology does not prevent being disabled in other ways, such as paralysis, sleep or petrification.
Six (Su)
Having mastered the self and aspects of truth related to the self, the numerologist now looks outside and beyond. With this look the Abyss stares back, the number six manifest. Secure in his knowledge of the self, the numerologist uses this madness as a shield. By using this numerology, you gain immunity to mind affecting effects. Further, if any creature attempts to use telepathy on you or read your mind, they must make a will save (DC 10 + your Cha modifier + 1/2 your hit dice) or be stunned for six rounds.
Seven (Su)
The truth of the Abyss cannot be all. The sixth posits the existence of the seventh and seven by its nature. You look ahead, finding the number seven and the heavenly promise it represents. By using this numerology, you gain the benefits of an angel's protective aura, a +4 racial bonus to saving throws against poison and resistance to acid, cold and electricity 30. Further, you are immune to vile damage for the duration of this numerology.
Eight (Su)
Having understood the Heavens, now the numerologist turns his attention to everything else and the endless infinity of Creation. This draws your attention to the endless chaos of Limbo and eight, ever creating. By using this numerology, you gain fast healing 10.
Nine (Su)
Endless creation must be tamed. Such a truth follows the endless growth of Limbo, for if chaos is left unchecked, nothing meaningful can ever endure. With this you come on the number nine, the symbol of absolute domination and Baator. By using this numerology, you gain immunity to petrification and form altering effects. In addition, you gain the benefits of an avoid planar effects spell for the duration of this numerology.
Balance (Ex)
Through his studies, the numerologist has come to understand all Creation. As a result he accepts all parts of it, treating none as his enemy, but instead part of what is and what will forever be. As a result he may now treat his alignment as the most favorable for spells and abilities. For example, holy word would consider him good, unholy blight would consider him evil, an anarchic weapon would consider him chaotic. Effects that specifically target neutrality work as normal on the numerologist.
The Tenth (Su)
From every number the Numerologist has learned great secrets. On passing the nine great numbers, he grasps the 10th and the secret it and every number beyond represents. Every number combines together, into one whole Creation. This grans the numerologist the ability to use any number of numerologies at the same time. Each one takes a daily use of numerology as normal.

Special: You may select this feat more than once. Its benefits stack.
Integrate Class Feature [Epic]
Prerequisite: Mimic Class Feature 3/day
Benefit: For the sake of prerequisites for feats and prestige classes, you are treated as having the following class features: evasion, rage, smite, sneak attack xd6(x=Chameleon level/3) and turn undead. Feats and class features that augment these abilities do so when you use them with Mimic Class Feature. For example, Great Smiting makes your smites more effective and you could use a use of your Mimic Class Feature to power a divine feat. Feats and class features that grant extra uses of one of these abilities do not grant extra uses of Mimic Class Feature.
Integrated Aptitude Focus [Epic]
Prerequisite: Aptitude Focus 3/day, int 21.
Benefit: Select an aptitude focus. You gain the matching benefit below. You do not need to have this aptitude chosen to gain the benefits of this feat.
Arcane Focus: You may use your arcane spellcasting from Chameleon to qualify for feats and prestige classes. For example, an 11th level Chameleon has a caster level of 21 to qualify for feats and can qualify for a prestige class that has 4th level arcane casting as a prerequisite. If you take a prestige class that advances arcane spellcasting, it may either stack with pre-existing arcane spellcasting and progress it, such as if you have levels in wizard; if you do not have previous arcane spellcasting progression, you do not gain it, but you may stack levels of that prestige class with your Chameleon level to determine your Chameleon caster level for Arcane Focus.
Combat Focus: You gain an effective Fighter level equal to your Chameleon level to qualify for feats and prestige classes. For example, an 11th level Chameleon may qualify for Greater Weapon Focus. If you possess Fighter levels or levels in another class that stack with Fighter levels to determine your total Fighter level for feats, they stack with this feat. For example, an 11th level Chameleon and 2nd level Fighter would have an effective Fighter level of 13.
Divine Focus: You may use your divine spellcasting from Chameleon to qualify for feats and prestige classes. For example, an 11th level Chameleon has a caster level of 21 to qualify for feats and can qualify for a prestige class that has 4th level divine casting as a prerequisite. If you take a prestige class that advances divine spellcasting, it may either stack with pre-existing divine spellcasting and progress it, such as if you have levels in cleric; if you do not have previous divine spellcasting progression, you do not gain it, but you may stack levels of that prestige class with your Chameleon level to determine your Chameleon caster level for Divine Focus.
Stealth Focus: You gain an effective Rogue level equal to your Chameleon level to qualify for feats and prestige classes. For example, an 11th level Chameleon could successfully flank a 7th level rogue with Improved Uncanny Dodge. If you possess Rogue levels or levels in another class that stack with Rogue levels to determine your total Rogue level, they stack with this feat. For example, an 11th level Chameleon and 2nd level Rogue would have an effective Rogue level of 13. In addition, you gain an effective amount of virtual sneak attack dice equal to one half of your Chameleon level. This does not bestow actual sneak attack to you, but allows you to qualify for feats and prestige classes that require sneak attack, such as Arcane Trickster.
Wild Focus: You may use your Wild Empathy and Woodland Stride abilities to qualify for feats and prestige classes.
Swift Refocus [Epic]
Prerequisite: Rapid Refocus
Benefit: You now only need 1 minute to change your aptitude focus.

Arcane Knowledge [Epic]
Prerequisite: Arcane Dilettante (6 spells), int 23
Benefit: You gain an additional two spells per day with Arcane Dilettante.
Special: You may select this feat more than once. Its benefits stack.
Arcane Mastery [Epic]
Prerequisite: Arcane Dilettante (6 spells), int 25
Benefit: Select two spells from an arcane spell list that do not appear on the sorcerer/wizard spell list. You may now prepare these two spells with Arcane Dilettante. You may not select a spell of a higher level than you can cast with Arcane Dilettante.
Aura of Inspiration [Epic]
Prerequisite: Source of Inspiration, cha 25
Benefit: Your inspiration is like an aura, affecting all those close to you. This functions as Source of Inspiration, except as noted here. All allies within 30ft gain the benefit of your inspiration. Doing this is extraordinarily taxing and requires an additional 6 points of inspiration per use, on top of what the ability already costs.
Epic Font of Inspiration [Epic]
Prerequisite: Font of Inspiration, int 19
Benefit: Your maximum inspiration rises by four points.
Special: You may select this feat more than once. Its benefits stack.
Improved Cunning Insight [Epic]
Prerequisite: Cunning Insight, int 21
Benefit: The bonus you gain from using Cunning Insight now equals your Intelligence modifier + 2.
Special: You may select this feat more than once. Each time you choose this feat, the bonus to Cunning Insight rises by 2.
Improved Cunning Knowledge [Epic]
Prerequisite: Cunning Knowledge, int 23
Benefit: You may now use your Cunning Knowledge skill up to three times per day on a single skill.
Normal: You can only use Cunning Knowledge once per day on a particular skill.
Source of Inspiration [Epic]
Prerequisite: Font of Inspiration, cha 19
Benefit: Your inspiration is potent enough to aid other people. You may give the benefit of the following abilities to any ally within 30ft: Cunning Insight, Cunning Knowledge, Cunning Defense, Cunning Strike and Cunning Breach. You use your Intelligence or Factotum level where appropriate to determine bonuses from these abilities, not the target's. Using inspiration in this way is intensive and requires an additional 3 points of inspiration per use, on top of what the ability already costs.
Alternate Class Feature: Serene Body.
Meditation has not lent you peace of mind, but instead a calmness of body.
Class: Monk.
Level: 3rd.
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain still mind.
Benefit: Your body is always calm and able to resist the lure of death. This grants you Diehard as a bonus feat. You do not need to meet the normal prerequisites for this feat.
Alternate Class Feature: Roaring Mind.
Your mind is still, but all in preparation to defend yourself from intrusion with a powerful kiai shout.
Class: Monk.
Level: 3rd.
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain still mind.
Benefit: Whenever you are the target of a spell from the school of enchantment, you may unleash the power of your roaring mind. A powerful mental shout startles the caster, who must make a Will save (DC 10 + your Wis modifier + 1/2 your hit dice) or be confused (as the spell) for one round. This does not prevent the spell from affecting you and you must make any saving throws as normal. A spell that does not affect you at all, such as one stopped by spell resistance or immunity, cannot trigger roaring mind. You must be within 60ft of the caster for roaring mind to effect him. Roaring mind is a mind-affecting ability.
Alternate Class Feature: Still Nature
Your calmness is reflected outward, bringing nature's seasons to balance and peace around you.
Class: Monk.
Level: 3rd.
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain still mind.
Benefit: You gain the benefit of an Endure Elements spell active on you at all times. The caster level equals your hit dice. This is a supernatural ability.
Changelog: Reworked this ability to be less clunky.
Alternate Class Feature: Wall Jump.
You can use walls as solid ground, bouncing back and forth between them to ascend.
Class: Monk.
Level: 4th.
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain slow fall.
Benefit: You may jump between a pair of walls, using them to ascend. The walls in question must be no further apart than 10ft. You ascend at a speed equal to half your land movement speed per round. You may go into a window or gap in the wall at any point in your ascent, or on the roof of the lower wall (Or either, if both roofs are of a similar height). If you wish to ascend more than half your land movement speed, it takes more than one round. If during this time you take damage, you must make a Balance check (DC equal to the damage taken) or fall immediately.
At 8th level, the distance between the walls you use to wall jump increases to a maximum of 20ft. This rises to 30ft at level 14 and 40ft at level 20. This pattern continues into epic, with a further 10ft increase at level 26 and every 6 levels thereafter.
Alternate Class Feature: Meteor Kick.
By plummeting down at your target, you achieve massive damage at the price of personal injury.
Class: Monk.
Level: 4th.
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain slow fall.
Benefit: You may enter a free fall and target an opponent on the ground, using this velocity to do large amounts of extra damage. However, you inflict injury on yourself at the same time. You may willingly fall (or dive if you are capable of flight) at an opponent below you on the ground. At the end of your fall you may make an attack. If successful you deal extra damage equal to 1d6 per 10ft you fell. You still take falling damage as normal. If you miss, you still take falling damage and your opponent is not injured. The amount of extra damage you may do is capped by what your slow fall distance would be. Falling more than this does not add any extra damage to your attack, but you still take the falling damage as normal. For example, a 8th level monk falls 100ft and hits with her attack at the end. She deals an extra 4d6 points of damage but takes 10d6 points of falling damage.
As the momentum of falling is key to the damage done, methods that prevent falling damage prevent you from gaining benefit from this ability. Feather Fall prevents you from using this ability, nor can you tumble to reduce your falling damage. You inflict damage at the moment of impact, so readied actions or immediate actions cannot alleviate the falling damage you take without negating the extra damage from Meteor Kick. At 20th level, you no longer have a cap to the distance you may fall and gain bonus damage form, except for the 200ft/20d6 terminal velocity ceiling.
Special: If you are on a plane with the heavy gravity trait (or other trait that increases falling damage), increase the damage from this ability to match that. For example, if creatures take 1d10 points of falling damage on a plane, you deal an extra 1d10 points of damage per 10ft fallen with Meteor Kick.
Earthbone Steel
This extremely dense iron is mined in tiny deposits with the Elemental Plane of Earth. Each deposit is usually no bigger than a human's thumb, requiring a great deal of time and effort to gather enough for equipment. It is said that it takes eons to find enough to craft a single weapon or suit of armor. Magic fails at replicating its dense power, so equipment made of earthbone steel is extraordinarily rare.
Earthbone steel is four times heavier than steel, quadrupling the weight of any items made from it. It also possesses quadruple the hardness and hit points of normal steel to match, rendering it durable. This combination results in ineffective slashing and piercing weapons, offering no additional benefits to them. Bludgeoning weapons are greatly enhanced by these traits, gaining several bonuses. The base damage dice of any bludgeoning weapon made of earthbone steel is doubled. For example, a heavy mace made of Earthbone Steel would deal a base of 2d8 damage. This weight results in crushing critical hits, increasing the critical hit multiplier of a bludgeoning weapon by 1.
Armor made from earthbone steel gains even greater benefits. The base armor bonus of any armor made of earthbone steel is doubled. For example, full plate armor made of earthbone steel has an armor bonus of +16. Due to the heavy weight of earthbone steel, any armor made of it counts as heavy armor. Yet despite this heaviness, it does not worsen the armor check penalty, arcane spell failure or maximum Dexterity bonus of the armor.
Earthbone steel has no price. It is jealously hoarded by the lords and princes of Earth. In the few cases of earthbone steel being sold, the prices are invariably in magical items, souls or the favors of powerful entities.
Earthbone steel is misnomer, as the words to describe in Terran do not translate well.

Prerequisite: Three or more favored embassies, outsider or elemental type.
Benefit: You have trained yourself in the delicate art of negotiating with opposed primal forces. You gain a +4 bonus to Bluff, Diplomacy and Sense Motive checks against creatures part of courts that oppose your own. For the sake of this, the following alignments and elemental forces oppose each other: good and evil, law and chaos, fire and water, earth and air. For example, a diplomat from Arborea would gain this bonus when dealing with members of courts from Mount Celestia or Hades.
Noble's a watered down version of bard, so the fact that many epic noble feats are bard feats makes a lot of sense.

Detect Good (Sp)
At will, a dark justicar can use detect good as a spell-like ability.
Strike of Oblivion (Su)
A dark justicar's weapons are surrounded with a pulsing aura of oblivion, rending apart any it wounds. At 1st level the dark justicar deals an extra 1d4 points of damage with her melee attacks. This rises to 2d4 at level 5 and 3d4 at level 9.
Eyes of Shar (Ex)
At second level, a dark justicar's eyes turn black. This is a sign of Shar's favor and grants them superior vision. They gain the ability to see perfectly in any darkness, even that created by magic such as deeper darkness.
Dark Blessing (Su)
A dark justicar gains her Charisma modifier (if positive) as a bonus to all saving throws.
Aura of Entropy (Su)
At third level, the presence of the dark justicar draws all those close it further to eternal nothingness. This manifests as a -1 penalty to saving throws and armor class to all creatures within 10ft of the dark justicar. Worshipers of Shar are immune to this ability.
Channel Energy (Su)
This functions as an evil cleric turning the living. A dark justicar's effective turning level is equal to her dark justicar level.
Shar's Sign (Su)
By 5th level, the foul acts that the dark justicar has committed stain it's body and soul, lending more power to her evil brand. Once per day as a standard action, the dark justicar may have her evil brand erupt in malignant light. This functions as a crushing despair spell that affects all creatures (except worshipers of Shar) within 30ft. The save DC is 10 + 1/2 your hit dice + your Charisma modifier.
Shadow Servant (Su)
At 6th level, the dark justicar may summon a shadow to aid it. Once per day as a full round action, the dark justicar may summon a shadow to do her bidding. The shadow automatically understands the dark justicar and will obey it to the death. The shadow summoned stays for a number of minutes equal to the dark justicar's hit dice. At 10th level, the dark justicar may instead summon 1d4+1 shadows or 1 greater shadow.
Shar's Embrace (Su)
Such is the darkness around dark justicar that it is said that Shar herself holds them. At 7th level, the dark justicar is treated as having concealment at all times, giving any attacks against her a 20% miss chance. Normal darkvision is ineffective against this ability, though see in darkness and true seeing overcome it.
Shadow Walk (Sp)
At 8th level, the dark justicar may travel in the realm of shadows. This allows her to use shadow walk as a spell like ability twice per day.

Dragonfire Strike (Su)
At 1st level and every 3 levels thereafter, your dragonfire strike bonus damage rises by 1d6. This only applies to ranged attacks. Any further abilities in this class that rely on your dragonfire strike (dragon's heat, searing dragonfire strike, explosive flames and lingering flames) also only apply to ranged attacks.
Dragon's Heat (Su)
At 2nd level, any creature stricken by a dragonfire strike risks his possessions turning hot as an inferno. When a creature is successfully damaged by the dragonbreath archer's dragonfire strike, any metal possessions are afflicted as if by an intensified heat metal spell. Multiple metal items on the same person do not stack. As little as a metal ring or earring is sufficient to cause damage. There is no saving throw to this effect.
Searing Dragonfire Strike (Su)
By 5th level, the flames of the dragonbreath archer's flames are so hot as to rival the sun. They are treated as searing flames, as the metamagic. This means that the fire damage from dragonfire strike ignores fire resistance and deals half damage to creatures normally immune to fire.
Explosive Flames (Su)
The dragonbreath archer may shoot a special exploding arrow at 8th level. This attack is a standard action and must be a successful dragonfire strike, otherwise the arrow deals normal damage with no other benefit. This exploding arrow deals damage as normal to the target, then explodes out in a 30ft radius. This explosion deals fire damage equal to the damage of the attack to all creatures within the radius, including the target of the dragonfire strike. A Reflex save (DC 10 + your Charisma modifier + 1/2 your hit dice) halves this damage. Note that the benefit of searing dragonfire strike applies to explosive flames. Lingering flames (see below) does not, however.
Lingering Flames (Su)
At 10th level, the flames of the dragonbreath archer burn on after the initial strike. After a successful dragonfire strike on a target, they catch ablaze. Unless this fire is put out before your next turn, they take extra damage equal to your dragonfire strike bonus damage. After that turn ends the flames fade away. A target can only take damage from lingering flames once a round, no matter how many times the dragonbreath archer struck them the previous round.
Dragonbreath Archer Bonus Feat List
Armor Melter, Armor Skin, Bane of Enemies, Blinding Speed, Combat Archery, Distant Shot, Energy Resistance (Fire only), Epic Endurance, Epic Prowess, Epic Speed, Epic Toughness, Fast Healing, Improved Favored Enemy, Improved Manyshot, Legendary Tracker, Perfect Health, Swarm of Arrows, Uncanny Accuracy, Widen Explosive Flames.
Armor Melter [Epic]
Prerequisite: Dragon's Heat, Searing Dragonfire Strike
Benefit: As a standard action, you may fire a single arrow. If it is a dragonfire strike and activates your dragon's heat ability, the heat metal spell it creates deals damage to anything it heats. The objects take full damage from the fire and ignore the equipment's hardness. Equipment reduced to 0 hit points through this are reduced to molten metal and worthless.
Normal: Heat metal does not deal damage to objects it affects.
Widen Explosive Flames [Epic]
Prerequisite: Explosive Flames
Benefit: The radius of the explosion from your explosive flames ability increases by 30ft.
Special: You may select this feat more than once. Its benefits stack.

Self Mutilation (Ex)
A mutilator compulsively scars and defaces his own body to satisfy horrific urges. This gives you a nightmarish appearance, striking fear into the hearts of your opponents. You gain a bonus to intimidate checks equal to your mutilator class level. You take an identical penalty to diplomacy checks, as your off-putting looks put even the most silvered tongue at a disadvantage.
Scarring Strike (Ex)
Your honed instincts in how to leave long, disfiguring scars on your opponents allows the mutilator to directly devastate an opponent. As a immediate action, a mutilator may declare an attack a scarring strike. This attack focuses on disfiguring an opponent rather than killing him; scarring strikes have a -2 penalty to hit and damage. However, you deal 1d4 points of charisma damage on a successful scarring strike. The damage of scarring strike rises to 1d6 at 5th level and 2d4 at 8th level.
Mutilation (Ex)
A mutilator knows how to leave life long wounds on his opponents, popping eyes, severing limbs and slicing organs. As a full round action, the Mutilator may make a single attack with a -2 penalty to hit. If this attack hits, he deals normal damage as well as a secondary effect from the list below. He gains more effects to choose from as he gains Mutilator levels. A creature must have the body parts targeted to be affected by mutilation - for example, a creature without eyes can't be blinded by mutilating its eyes.
Eyes
At 3rd level, a mutilator can go for the eyes. A successful mutilation leaves the target blind, both eyes gouged out. Creatures with more than two eyes may require more than one mutilation to blind. Methods of seeing without eyes, such as blindsight, tremorsense or mindsight, are not affected by this ability.
Tongue
At 6th level, a mutilator can sever the tongue of an opposing creature. This renders them mute, unable to talk or cast spells with verbal components.
Limb
At 9th level, a Mutilator can hack off an entire limb with a single blow. If an arm is severed, two handed weapons cannot be used and the victim suffers a -2 penalty to attack rolls due to his balance being off. If a leg is severed, the victim's land movement speed is quartered (minimum 5ft). Additional and exotic limbs can be targeted as well - such as tentacles, wings, tails and so forth. The exact effects of these should be adjudicated by the DM.
Bonus Deformity (Ex)
At 4th and 9th level, the myriad body modifications the mutilator has inflicted on himself bear fruit. He may select any deformity feat as a bonus feat.
Vile Mutilation (Ex)
At 10th level, the hatred and depravity of the mutilator spreads into the wounds he inflicts, making them difficult to reverse. The ability damage from scarring strike becomes vile ability damage. In addition, the injuries caused by mutilation are treated as vile as well and can only be reversed on hallowed ground. Note that the normal damage from scarring strike and mutilation are not vile damage, only the secondary effects of charisma damage and mutilation.

Lightblood Stone
This stone is a bloody red, said to be mined somewhere in Elysium. Little of it is known, though stories speak of many origins. When chipped it bleeds blindingly bright white 'blood'. This stone is not suitable to making weapons, but it can be crafted into armor. Armor made this way has several hollow pins that pierce the wearer and allow the white blood to flow into the bloodstream of the wearer. These pins deal 1d12 points of damage to the wearer on putting on the armor, damage reduction cannot reduce this damage. Once the armor is worn for 1 minute, the wearer gains the following benefits as long as it is worn.
- Fast healing 5. This fast healing does not remove the pins.
- Toxin removal. Saving throws against poison and disease are made with a +4 bonus. In addition, even if a saving throw is failed, these impurities are purged from the body in one round, preventing any further effect.
- Immunity to effects that cause bleeding wounds, such as the attack of a bearded devil. In these cases, the wounds simply stop bleeding.
- The first 10 points of vile damage from any source of damage is converted to normal damage.
- Damage reduction 10/evil.
Lightblood stone has no price. The stone is rarely seen in raw form.

Supreme Lore [Epic]
Prerequiste: Analyze Arms Dweomer, wis 21
Benefit: As a standard action, you may fully discern the lore of a weapon or set of armor (including shields, helms and gauntlets). This functions as a combined Analyze Dweomer and Legend Lore spell, and you may also ask one question about the object and have it answered, as if by a Commune spell. You may use this ability a number of times per day equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1).
Alternate Class Feature: Favored of Selune
Those who hear Selune's call gain the ability to wield an entirely new weapon by her grace.
Class: Favored Soul
Deity: Selune
Level: 3rd
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain deity's weapon focus or deity's weapon specialization.
Benefit: You gain the ability to use moon blade as a spell-like ability. You may use this ability a number of times per day equal to your favored soul level divided by three (minimum one, round down). When you manifest your moon blade, you may choose to make it fully corporeal. If you do, your moon blade is not subject to spell resistance. However, it now makes normal melee attacks instead of melee touch attacks.
At 12th level, you may cast your moon blade spell-like ability as a swift action instead of a standard action. In addition, your moon blade's bonus damage is no longer limited to +10 to living creatures or +20 to undead. It has no cap and may rise as high as your caster level permits.
The benefits of this ability also apply when you cast moon blade as a normal spell.
The changes to Perfect Wight are largely to update it to 3.5 coupled with a few upward tweaks. The pre-reqs got overhauled. Why is a class that does not progress sneak attack require 10d6 sneak attack to qualify? That's simply daft, especially since the class is supposed to be the ultimate sneak thief. I changed the prerequisites to things that fit that better circa the end of 3.5.
This class does synergize well with sneak attack, but you need to bring it in from another source or progress it separately.Perfect Wight

Mastery of Stealth (Ex)
A perfect wight is a grand master of being unseen and unheard. He practices both to a fine point, part of one coherent whole. As a result, the benefit from Epic Skill Focus (Hide) or Epic Skill Focus (Move Silently) applies to both skills. This does not stack if the perfect wight already possesses Epic Skill Focus for both skills.
Superior Invisibility (Sp)
Starting at 1st level, the perfect wight gains the benefit of superior invisibility once per day, plus one additional time per day every five levels thereafter. This functions as the spell of the same name, with a caster level equal to the perfect wight's hit dice.
Ghostform (Sp)
Starting at 2nd level, the perfect Wight is as light and swift as a ghost. He may use Ghostform as a spell like ability once per day, plus one additional time per day every five levels thereafter. This functions as the spell of the same name with a caster level equal to the perfect wight's hit dice.
Improved Legerdemain (Su)
A perfect wight can perform the following class skills at a range of 30ft: Disable Device, Sleight Of Hand, and Search. If desired, the perfect wight can take 10 on the check. Any object manipulated during the skill check must weigh 100 pounds or less. Alternatively, the perfect wight can use improved legerdemain to make one melee sneak attack against any creature within 30ft. The perfect wight executes the sneak attack as if attacking from a flanking position. If the attack is successful, the victim is dealt the appropriate sneak attack damage despite the fact that the perfect wight and his or her weapon do not physically cross the intervening distance. A perfect wight can use improved legerdemain at will and doing so is a full round action.
Shadow Form (Su)
At 4th level, the perfect wight learns to take shadow form. This form is incorporeal and functions like ghostform with the following modifications. The perfect wight's shadow form lasts for 1 minute per hit die of the perfect wight. While in shadow form, the perfect wight gains a fly speed of 100ft (good) and is immune to critical hits. In addition, the perfect wight may draw on the shadow stuff that composes himself during this to augment any attack roll, check or saving throw. Doing so deals seven points of damage per bonus point to the perfect wight and the perfect wight cannot grant himself a higher bonus than his perfect wight class level. Damage taken in this way is always lethal damage and bypasses damage reduction. Using this ability is a free action.
Superior Legerdemain (Su)
At 8th level, the perfect wight may use improved legerdemain at far greater distances. His range with improved legerdemain improves to 100ft. Despite this distance, he is able to make sneak attacks while using it past 30ft when using superior legerdemain.
Bonus Feats
A perfect wight gains an epic bonus feat at level 5 and every 5 levels thereafter.
Perfect Wight Bonus Feat List

This class plays with the concept of a warrior who uses intelligence and knowledge to win the day. This is usually the domain of spellcasters due to the way warriors and wizards are set up. Sufficient skill points and high Intelligence modifier are a luxury for most warriors. This class attempts to make a non spellcaster who can contribute with knowledge and get a strong benefit from a good Intelligence modifier.
Suggested entry is factotum on one side of the gestalt and whatever on the other side. Three levels of swashbuckler are recommended to add your Intelligence modifier to damage, too. This can also work for wizard-based gishes who don't want to invest in a casting PrC. Some of the benefits from this class can be netted from smart multiclassing, but this presents them in a streamlined package.
This prestige class comes from a group of planar knights. They gather together and recite stories of battle. From these they learn from one another, for they believe that knowledge is power. Moreso than a blade, being armed with knowledge is the key to victory. They are currently involved with Aurora's crusade to liberate Lifasa.Knight of the Wise Convent

Wise Attack (Ex)
At 2nd level, your accumulated knowledge of monsters grants you greater skill at slaying certain types of monsters. Choose a creature type. You deal an extra 1d6 points of damage when you attack this type of creature. At 5th and 8th level, this bonus damage rises by 1d6. In addition, at 5th and 8th level you may select a second and third creature type. The bonus damage from wise attack now applies to those creature types as well.

Knight's Knowledge (Ex)

You may add your knight of the wise convent class level as a bonus to all Knowledge checks made when using Knowledge Devotion. In addition, you may make Knowledge Devotion checks on creature types that you lack a rank in the related knowledge for.

Essence of Fire (Su)
By channeling your own elemental nature, you strengthen your fire magic. You cast spells with the fire descriptor at +1 caster level.
Living Fire (Ex)
You represent fire and life entwined, always vital and always sustaining even as it burns away old life to make way for new life. You lose access to any spell that causes energy drain or inflicts negative energy damage, these spells are removed from your spell lists.
Pyrosynthesis (Su)
The purifying and vital power of positive energy laced fire suffuses your being. Whenever you cast a spell with the fire descriptor, you heal hit points equal to its spell level. For example, casting fireball heals you three hit points. You cannot go above your maximum hit points with this ability.
Energy Vulnerability (Sp)
You can use Energy Vulnerability (PHB2 p113) as the spell once per day. You can only make your target vulnerable to fire.
Elemental Fury (Su)
Through the living fury of fire, you can cause your foes to burn even after your spell concludes, imbued with a tiny fragment of life. Any time you deal damage to a target with a spell with the fire descriptor, they catch ablaze. This deals 1d6 fire damage per round (no save) until the flames are extinguished. Unlike a normal fire, these flames do not cease until put out directly. This may be done by mundane means such as water or rolling on the ground, as well as by dispel magic. Treat this ability as a spell effect equal to the caster level of the lord of the bright fires for the sake of dispel magic.
Greater Essence of Fire (Su)
Your mastery of the flames increases. Your bonus to your caster level when casting spells with the fire descriptor rises by 1, to a total of +2. In addition, the DC of any spells you cast with the fire descriptor rises by 1.
Elemental Wrath (Su)
Through the overwhelming energy of positive fire, you are able to daze your foes. A number of times a day equal to your main casting ability modifier (Intelligence for wizards, Charisma for sorcerers), you may designate a spell with the fire descriptor that deals damage and allows a saving throw for half/partial/no effect as overwhelming. An overwhelming spell leaves the victim dazed for one round if the saving throw is failed, due to being overwhelmed with the raw elemental vitality of fire.
Burn the Heretic! (Su)
At 8th level your touch can cause some of the creature's lifeforce to explode into fire. Once per day you may make a melee touch attack against a creature. If successful you deal 14d8 points of fire damage, as lifeforce is transformed into white flames that explode out of the victim's body in all directions. If you fail to hit, this ability is not expended. Non-living creatures such as undead and constructs are immune to this ability.
Shield of Fire (Su)
At 9th level the lord of the bright fires is constantly surrounded by vibrant white flames. This raw life force shields her own vitality, rendering her immune to energy drain and negative energy damage.
Fiery Life (Ex)
At 10th level your constant conduit to fire has further bolstered you. Your Constitution rises by 2 points.

Blessed Silence (Su)
Your studies of the Triune grant you the ability to cast magic without a word. You do not need to recite verbal components to cast a spell, as if the Silent Spell metamagic had been applied to them. However, this adds somatic and divine focus components to all your spells, even if they did not require them before. This ability only works for divine spells and not any other spellcasting you possess.
Words of Creation (Ex)
You may use the Words of Creation without breaking your Vow of Silence. Speaking them does not violate your Vow of Silence, as long as they are only used to cause special effects. Attempting to use the Words of Creation to communicate or otherwise bypass your Vow of Silence counts as an intentional violation of your vow. This ability does not allow you to use other abilities that would violate your vow in conjunction with the Words of Creation. For example, you could not use bardic music via song, even if you used the Words of Creation to boost its effect.
Words of the Triune (Su)
The voice of the Triune maintains silence, all while studying sacred texts describing the vocal power of holy words. With the proper training, this allows the voice of the Triune to unleash powerful effects. As these are special, sanctified words based in the Words of Creation, using these abilities does not count as a violation of your Vow of Silence. Unlike using the Words of Creation, these words do not cause nonlethal damage to you. The voice of the Triune may use Words of the Triune a number of times per day equal to 1/2 her Voice of the Triune class level plus her Charisma modifier. As supernatural abilities, the words are not subject to spell resistance, even though they mimic certain spells. However, they allow any saving throws that the normal spells would grant, if applicable. The save DCs of the Words of the Triune is 13 + 1/2 your hit dice + your Charisma modifier.
Unless noted otherwise, using the Words of the Triune is a standard action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity. To use the Words of the Triune, you must be able to speak and be heard. A silence effect prevents the words from being used, as does anything that would prevent the verbal components of a spell from being spoken.
Words of Benediction
At 2nd level, the voice of the Triune is able to speak the words best describing the resolute, combined good that Angharradh represents. This functions as a consecrate spell (caster level equals the voice of the Triune's hit dice). If these words are used in a location that is hallowed to Angharradh or one of her three component deities, all followers of Angharradh within the hallow effect gain a +3 sacred bonus to armor class. This benefit lasts as long as the consecrate effect does or until the followers leave the hallowed area.
Words of Freedom
At 4th level, the coice of the Triune is able to speak one of the true names of Aerdrie Faenya, granting all who hear it freedom. This ability functions as freedom of movement (caster level equals the voice of the Triune's hit dice), and affects the voice of the Triune plus one ally per three voice of the Triune class levels. All allies to be affected must be within 30ft.
Words of Love
At 6th level, the voice of the Triune is able to speak one of the true names of Hanali Celanil, bringing love and peace. This ability functions as a combined charm monster and calm emotions effect (caster level of both effects equals the voice of the Triune's hit dice) and affects 1 creature, plus another creature per three class levels of voice of the Triune. All creatures to be affected must be within 30ft of the voice of the Triune. This is a mind-affecting ability.
Words of Retreat
At 8th level, the voice of the Triune is able to speak one of the true names of Sehanine Moonbow, bringing safe retreat from danger. This ability functions as a combined dimension door and cure critical wounds spell (caster level of both effects equals the Voice of the Triune's hit dice), and affects the voice of the Triune plus one ally per three voice of the Triune class levels. All allies to be affected must be within 30ft. All allies and the voice of the Triune are transported to the same point, which is of the voice of the Triune's choosing.
Words of Glory
At 10th level, the voice of the Triune is able to speak the three true names as one, bringing about the full power of Angharradh. This ability has three effects, which occur at the same time. These effects are holy word, which affects all enemies within a 30ft radius of the voice of the Triune, holy aura, which affects all allies within a 30ft radius of the voice of the Triune, and greater visage of the deity, which affects the voice of the Triune. All three abilities have a caster level equal to the voice of the Triune's hit dice.
Improved Aural Defenses (Ex)
At 3rd level, the perfection bonus that Vow of Silence grants against sonic and language dependent spells and effects rises by 1. At 5th, 7th and 9th level this bonus again increases by 1. These bonuses stack.
Silent Grace (Su)
At 10th level, you are fully warded by your Vow of Silence, protected by the noise and manipulation of sounds. You gain immunity to sonic and language-dependent effects, including sonic damage.

Mortal Hunter is from the BoVD. It's a 3.0 PrC and shows in several ways, so I chose to update it to 3.5's design preferences as well as my own. Changelog is as follows:
- Removed +5 BAB requirement. Outsiders get full BAB with racial hit dice, so this isn't much of a qualifier for them.
- Tweaked skill requirements slightly.
- Updated skills for 3.5.
- Mortal Hunter had an awkward wis/cha split for its abilities. It's now purely charisma based.
- Mortal Hunting made 1 and every 2 levels thereafter. Old 3.0 rules about precision damage and favored enemies removed. This is a net gain.
- Mortal Skin replaced with Change Shape. This is a net loss.
- Boost Spell-Like Ability replaced with Dark Gift. This is a net gain.
- Smite Mortals made multiple times a day. This is a standard change from 3.0 to 3.5. Obviously this is a net gain.
- Claws of the Overfiend gained one level early. Not a huge deal.
- Mortalbane Shout's DC was revised and made into 1d4 rounds stun. This is a net gain.
- Slay Mortal replaced by Condemn Mortal. Mechanically this is a net loss, though it is certainly frightening.
- Call dretch horde replaced with call nightmare. It fits better as a counter to the traditional special mount of the paladin and also isn't a demon summoning spell. As it's a pan-fiend class and fiends get hung up about that sort of thing, it's best to avoid that.

Note: For the sake of this class, a mortal is defined as any creature that is not an outsider, construct, undead or fey.
Detect Mortals (Su)
A 1st level mortal hunter can use detect mortals at will. This ability duplicates the effect of detect undead, except that mortals are detected. Caster level equals the mortal hunter's hit dice.
Mortal Hunting (Ex)
A mortal hunter gains a bonus against mortals due to its extensive study of them and training in the proper combat techniques. The mortal hunter gains a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls against mortals and the same bonus on Bluff, Listen, Sense Motive, Spot, and Survival checks when using these skills against mortals. At 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th level, the mortal hunter's bonus associated with mortals goes up by +1. This bonus stacks with a ranger's favored enemy bonus.
Change Shape (Su)
A 2nd level mortal hunter gains the ability to change into the shape of any Small, Medium or Large humanoid. This works as the change shape special quality.
Dark Gift (Su)
By the unholy power within the mortal hunter, its spell-like abilities are harder to resist. The save DCs of all of its spells and spell-like abilities gain a +2 profane bonus when used against mortals.
Smite Mortals (Su)
Once per day at 4th level and twice per day at 8th level, a mortal hunter may attempt to smite mortals. This works as the paladin ability of the same name, except that it only affects mortals. The mortal hunter adds his Charisma bonus to the attack roll and his mortal hunter level to the damage roll. If the mortal hunter possess smite good from another class, such as blackguard, those class levels stack with mortal hunter to determine the total bonus damage.
Spurn Mortal Magic (Su)
A 5th level mortal hunter applies its Charisma modifier (if positive) as an additional bonus on all saving throws against spells and spell-like abilities used by mortals.
Claws of the Overfiend (Ex)
At 6th level, a mortal hunter's natural weapons become more effective. They are treated as one size category larger to determine damage. This stacks with the improved natural attack feat.
Mortalbane Shout (Su)
An 8th level mortal hunter can, once per day, emit a shout that stuns for 1d4 rounds all mortals within 50 feet who fail a Fortitude save (DC 10 + Charisma modifier + 1/2 hit dice).
Condemn Mortal (Su)
At 10th level, a mortal hunter's victims risk being dragged down to the Lower Planes if slain by the mortal hunter. Any mortal slain (reduced to -10 or less hit points or otherwise killed, but not petrified, affected by trap the soul or similar circumstances) by the mortal hunter must immediately make a Will save (DC 10 + Charisma modifier + 1/2 hit dice) or have its soul plunge into the Lower Plane the mortal hunter originates from. Such a mortal soul becomes the property of the mortal hunter or his superior.
A mortal lost to this fate cannot be raised or resurrected by any means, even a wish or miracle. They can only be freed by a proper quest into the Lower Planes to free the soul from whomever owns it. If successfully freed, the mortal soul immediately travels to its normal afterlife and can thereafter be resurrected as normal.
A mortal hunter can choose to deactivate or activate this power as a free action.
Spells
A mortal hunter gains the ability to cast a small number of arcane spells. To cast a spell, the mortal hunter must have a Charisma score of at least 10 + the spell's level, so a mortal hunter with a Charisma of 10 or lower cannot cast these spells. Mortal hunter bonus spells are based on Charisma, and saving throws against these spells have a DC of 10 + spell level + Cha modifier. When the table shows 0 spells of a given level, such as 0 1st-level spells at 1st level, the mortal hunter gets only bonus spells. A mortal hunter without a bonus spell for that level cannot yet cast a spell of that level. The mortal hunter's spell list appears below; it has access to any spell on the list and need not prepare those spells ahead of time, just as a sorcerer. A mortal hunter casts spells just as a sorcerer does.

Yeah, sundering isn't a popular combat option. That said, I figured there should be support for someone who wants to specialize in it anyway. The idea of this prestige class is breaking things and getting benefits from it. It's good so far as you accept someone who destroys loot as useful. Due to how most groups view this, I suspect it's more of an NPC class.Shattering Knight

Knowledge(Architecture and Engineering) 9 ranks
Special
Must have successfully sundered a magical item of at least 5,000 gp in value and absorbed the magic within via a special ritual. This ritual costs 1,000 gp and is taught by senior shattering knights.
Class Skills
The shattering knight's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are: Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Handle Animal (Cha), Intimidate (Cha), Jump (Str), Knowledge (Architecture and Engineering) (Int), Listen (Wis), Ride (Dex), Spot (Wis) and Swim (Str).

| 10 | +10 | +7 | +3 | +3 | Absorb dweomer |
Magic Touched (Su)
As a result of the ritual to qualify for this prestige class, the shattering knight radiates faint magic. He radiates no particular school of magic. This ability has no further mechanical effect; magic touched represents the latent magic power absorbed by the shattering knight from the many magical items he has destroyed.
Sunder Specialist (Ex)
At 1st level, a shattering knight begins an intense study of how to break objects. He gains a +1 bonus to CMB when he attempts to sunder an object, as well as the same bonus to resist his own equipment from being sundered. He also deals an extra 1d4 points of damage when he successfully damages an object. This extra damage applies to when he sunders a worn or carried object or attacks an unattended object. These bonuses rise by +1 and +1d4 at level 3 and every 2 levels thereafter. For example, a 5th level shattering knight gains a +3 bonus to his CMB when he sunders and deals an additional 3d4 points of damage if he hits.
The bonus from this ability stacks with the bonus granted by the Improved Sunder feat.
Cleaving Sunder (Ex)
At 2nd level, whenever a shattering knight successfully destroys a worn or carried object through sundering, he may immediately make an attack against the creature that wore or carried the object. Treat this as successfully dropping a foe via the Cleave feat. Doing so counts as a use of his Cleave ability. He may only use this ability once per round, no matter how many times he may use Cleave.
Glorious Destruction (Su)
At 4th level, a shattering knight benefits from a surge of power whenever he destroys a worn or carried magical item via sundering. He gains a +4 morale bonus to attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, armor class, skill checks and saving throws for a number of rounds equal to his shattering knight level + 3. Multiple bonuses gained by destroying multiple magical items do not stack. However, each time another magical item is destroyed, the duration is fully restored. For example, a 4th level shattering knight who destroys a longsword+1 gains this bonus for 7 rounds. If he destroys a buckler+1 4 rounds later, the duration of the bonus granted from glorious destruction resets to 7.
This only applies to objects worn or carried by a creature, unattended objects do not grant any bonus. Items rendered temporary magical, such as a masterwork longsword under the effects of magic weapon, do not enable the bonus from glorious destruction. However, magical weapons further augmented, such as a longsword+1 increased with greater magical weapon, do grant the bonus.
Touch of Adamantine (Su)
At 6th level, a shattering knight's attacks are hard as adamantine due to his training and the magic within him. Any weapon, including natural weapons and unarmed attacks, that the shattering knight uses are treated as being adamantine. They ignore hardness below 20 and count as adamantine to bypass damage reduction. The weapon retains all other qualities.
Improved Glorious Destruction (Su)
At 8th level, the bonuses granted by glorious destruction rise to +8.
Absorb Dweomer (Su)
At 10th level, a shattering knight may drink in the magic of what he destroys and gain a surge of vitality. Three times per day as a free action when he successfully destroys a magical item via sunder, he may choose to absorb the magic into himself. Doing so heals the shattering knight a number of hit points equal to the value of the magical item sundered divided by 500, with any excess gained as temporary hit points. The temporary hit points granted by this ability fade after one hour. A shattering knight can have temporary hit points equal to his maximum hit points, with any excess lost.
For example, a longsword+3 (worth 18000 gold) subjected to absorb dweomer heals 36 hit points, with any excess gained as temporary hit points. Multiple uses of this ability stack.
A magical item subjected to absorb dweomer is forever a non-magical item afterwards. While it can be repaired, it will be a non-magical version of what it was before. A magical longsword subjected to absorb dweomer and then repaired would be a masterwork longsword, for example. Artifacts are not affected by this ability.
If the shattering knight uses absorb dweomer on a non-magical item, it has no effect and that use of absorb dweomer is wasted.

Alight Gaze (Su)
Your eyes softly glow with otherworldly light, guiding you into seeing where evil hides. You gain a +4 sacred bonus to Spot checks. In addition, whenever you attempt to notice an invisible creature near you and it is a fiend, you automatically succeed on your Spot check.
Heavenly Purity (Su)
Your body is connected to all that is right and good in Creation. The energies forever purify your body, removing all that is foul and impure. You gain immunity to poison and disease.
Redemption (Sp)
Through your long struggles and hard earned wisdom, you can aid mortals in atoning from the shadow of evil. You may use Atonement as a spell like ability once per week. This replaces your dispel evil class feature; whenever you would gain another use of dispel evil you instead gain another use of atonement.

Inspiration
Levels in martial factotum stack with factotum to determine your total inspiration points.
Cunning Focus (Ex)
A 1st level martial factotum may apply the bonus from weapon focus to any weapon to which she is proficient with. This does not apply to any other feat.
Cunning Toughness (Ex)
At second level, a martial factotum may use her depth of martial knowledge and rudimentary spellcasting to supercharge her body with energy. As a swift action, the martial factotum can spend 2 points of inspiration to gain temporary hit points equal to her Intelligence modifier plus her combined factotum and martial factotum level. These temporary hit points last for one minute.
Bonus Feat
At 3rd, 6th and 9th level, a martial factotum gains a bonus feat. This feat must be selected from the list of fighter bonus feats.
Improved Cunning Strike (Ex)
A martial factotum that reaches 4th level that uses Cunning Strike gains 1d8 points of sneak attack damage instead of 1d6.
Cunning Breach (Ex)
This ability functions as the factotum ability of the same name, except that it costs 1 point of inspiration to use and only applies to damage reduction.
Cunning Dodge (Ex)
This ability functions as the factotum ability of the same name.
Cunning Weapons (Ex)
A martial factotum of 7th level or higher can temporarily emulate weapon properties into her own weapons. As a free action when the martial factotum declares an attack, she may apply any weapon property to her attack. This lasts until the start of the martial factotum's next turn and costs a number of inspiration points equal to the weapon's enhancement bonus cost. For example, emulating flaming would cost 1 point of inspiration, while adding holy would cost 2 points. This affects all the weapons the martial factotum uses for the duration.
Epic weapon properties cannot be emulated with this ability.
Improved Cunning Defense (Ex)
This ability functions as the factotum ability of the same name.
Improved Brains over Brawn (Ex)
A master martial factotum learns to apply her formidable intellect to how she fights. The martial factotum may use her Intelligence modifier in addition to her Strength or Dexterity modifier on weapon attack rolls and weapon damage rolls. This does not stack with the bonus to attack or damage rolls from Cunning Insight.
Nothing really to say here. It could use some unique epic feats to boost it, but they're not a priority right now. This is one of those classes that doesn't really lend itself to epic anyway.Epic Martial Factotum

An experiment in class design. This offers several powerful bonuses that don't track with any other class. It's intended for warriors with the full BAB and no spell progression. It comes with a big, immediate downside but gets lots of useful powers as you level up. How useful it is depends on the style of the game and how much of a role resurrection plays in it.
I don't consider this prestige class 'canon' as much as a design experiment. I didn't do much proofreading for it on those grounds.Hell-Bound Warrior

Hell's Vitality (Ex)
Servants of Hell are expected to give everything they have and a little more beyond that. The training they go through is little better than torment, but it provides extra endurance. The Hell-Bound Warrior gains a bonus to hit points equal to his level in this class. This starts at +1 at level 1 and rises by +1 each additional level. For example, a 5th level Hell-Bound Warrior has a +5 bonus to hit points.
The Price of Failure (Ex)
There is one thing Hell will never tolerate: failure. A Hell-Bound Warrior that is slain cannot be raised or resurrected. His soul is property of his fiendish master, who will be most displeased by the warrior's failure. The most likely fate is torture, being consigned into the Lake of Fire and being transformed into a lemure.
Lesser Devil's Eyes (Ex)
At 2nd level, the Hell-Bound Warrior gains darkvision out to 60ft. If the creature already has darkvision, its range increases by 60ft.
Energy Resistance (Ex)
A Hell-Bound Warrior that reaches 3rd level gains resistance to acid and cold 10. This resistance stacks with any natural resistance the creature possesses, but not with any non-permanent sources.
Bonus Feat
At 4th and 8th level, the Hell-Bound Warrior gains a bonus feat. This bonus feat may be any devil-touched or vile feat that the creature qualifies for.
Telepathy (Su)
The Hell-Bound Warrior gains telepathy 100ft. This functions as a devil's telepathy ability.
Diabolical Tactics (Ex)
Hell is renowned for holding off vast hordes of demons with vastly smaller forces. This tactical training is beaten into the Hell-Bound Warrior, granting them great skill at facing multiple opponents. He can no longer be flanked. So strong is his confidence when facing long odds that he gains a +4 morale bonus to attack rolls and armor class when he would normally be flanked.
Greater Devil's Eyes (Ex)
By being plunged into eternal darkness, the Hell-Bound Warrior is no longer hindered by a lack of light. He gains the see in darkness ability. This functions as the ability of the same name that devils possess.
Summon (Sp)
Once per day the Hell-Bound Warrior can summon 1d8 lemures, 1d4 bearded devils or a barbed devil. This ability is the equivalent of a 5th-level spell.
Hell-Scarred Flesh (Ex)
By this point, the Hell-Bound Warrior's flesh resembles burn-scarred hamburger meat. It has been toughened far beyond mortal endurance and immersed in vile profanities. This grants damage reduction 10/good. In addition, the Hell-Bound Warrior takes damage from holy water as if he was an evil outsider.
Devilish Immunities (Ex)
At 9th level, the Hell-Bound Warrior becomes immune to fire and poison. However, he is still vulnerable to ravages.
Regeneration
The Hell-Bound Warrior gains regeneration 3. He takes normal damage from good-aligned weapons and from spells or effects with the good descriptor.
Devil's Body (Ex)
At 10th level, the Hell-Bound Warrior becomes an outsider with the native subtype. He is treated as a devil and an evil outsider for the sake of effects. His natural and weapon attacks count as evil and lawful to overcome damage reduction.
Special Note
A Hell-Bound Warrior that becomes an outsider or otherwise changes type may keep any devil-touched feats it no longer qualifies for. This is a special exception. Alternately the character may choose a different feat in place of the devil touched feats. If so, they still meet the qualifications for Hell-Bound Warrior and do not suffer any loss of class abilities.
Nothing too fancy here. The class grants bonus feats and that's it, as it's one of those classes that doesn't transition to epic.
Incidentally, I feel working with The Price of Failure should be a part of epic. Renegotiating that entire agreement is great bait for an epic adventure, but it's beyond the scope of the class powers. A Hell-Bound Warrior that makes it that far isn't much removed from being a true devil and could well earn his (highly relative) freedom by playing politics. Best case scenario he earns distinction and becomes a unique devil in the service of one of Hell's nobility. Politics like that are just outside a mechanical scope.Epic Hell-Bound Warrior

There's a few houserules in play for poisoner. These need to be understood before reading the epic progression.
1. Poisoners can be any alignment. Balmuria takes the position that poison use isn't intrinsically evil, but instead nothing more than a weapon like a sword, wand or club. You won't see many, if any, good aligned poisoners, but the class isn't automatically evil now.
2. The save DC of poison touch (and the abilities that draw from it) is 10 + 1/2 hit dice + Constitution modifier. Poison's DCs have trouble keeping up in high/epic level play as it is, so a prestige class locked into low poison DCs has serious problems.
3. Poison gaze only allows the normal saving throw for the poison. There's no need to allow two saves to successfully poison someone.Epic Poisoner

Fire Domain
At first level, the ash purifier gains access to the Fire Domain, including the granted power of that domain.
If you already have access to the Fire Domain, you instead gain a +1 bonus to the caster level of any spell with the fire descriptor.
Burn Impurity (Su)
Ash purifiers are renowned for their ability to purify the darkness with fire. As they gain levels they gain greater ability to purify evil. These abilities only affect spells with the fire descriptor unless noted otherwise.
At 2nd level, an ash purifier's fire spells are difficult for evil creatures to resist. Evil creatures suffer a -2 penalty to saving throws against the ash purifier's fire spells. This also applies to the abilities below that allow a saving throw, including cleansing meltdown.
At 4th level, the ash purifier's fire spells can drive invading evil spirits out. When a fire spell cast by the Ash Purifier deals damage to a possessed creature, the possessing creature must make a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 your hit dice + your Charisma modifier). Failure results in it being driven from the body of its victim as if targeted by dispel evil. In addition, the possessing creature's incorporeal form takes the damage from the spell instead of the possessed creature.
At 6th level, the fire spells of the ash purifier gain the good descriptor. For example, burning hands cast by an Ash Purifier would have the fire and good descriptors.
At 8th level, impure creatures are temporary removed from the source of their power when damaged by ash purifier's fire spells. Any creature with the evil subtype must make a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 your hit dice + your Charisma modifier) or lose the evil subtype for a number of minutes equal to the ash purifier's class level. The loss of this connection is traumatic, resulting in the creature being unable to use any spell-like abilities with the evil descriptor. Any other spell-like abilities the creature possesses may still be used, though they must make a Concentration check (DC equal to the saving throw above) or have the spell fizzle. This lasts until the creature regains the evil subtype.
Pure Flames (Ex)
At 3rd level, the ash purifier gains the ability to channel sacred power into their fire spells. Once per day when the ash purifier casts a spell with the fire descriptor, he may apply the Searing Spell metamagic to it spontaneously. This does not increase the level or casting time of the spell. At 7th level he may do this two times per day.
Fiery Spell
A 5th level ash purifier gains Fiery Spell as a bonus feat. If he already possesses this feat, he may select another instead.
Blistering Spell
A 9th level ash purifier gains Blistering Spell as a bonus feat. If he already possesses this feat, he may select another.
Cleansing Meltdown (Su)
A master ash purifier can summon a massive inferno that cleanses evil. This functions as a fireball spell with a doubled area of effect and is a standard action to use. It deals 2d10 points of fire damage per ash purifier class level and has a save DC of 10 + 1/2 your hit dice + your Charisma modifier. All effects from Burn Impurity apply to this ability and it ignores any immunity or resistance to fire evil creatures possess. This ability can be used twice per day.
Posted this back as a design exercise during B3. I'm placing it here for easier reference. It's not official or anything.
Besides adding intimidation shenanigans, it doesn't expand what the fighter can do. It merely makes a fighter better at fighting. I don't claim this as any grand fighter fix, just a design exercise. It works by adding in various ACFs as part of the main fighter class as well as the weapon focus line of feats. Fighter

Class Features
All of the following are class features of the fighter.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency
A fighter is proficient with all simple and martial weapons and with all armor (heavy, medium, and light) and shields (including tower shields).
Bonus Feats
At 1st level, a fighter gets a bonus combat-oriented feat in addition to the feat that any 1st-level character gets and the bonus feat granted to a human character. The fighter gains an additional bonus feat at 2nd level and every two fighter levels thereafter (4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 12th, 14th, 16th, 18th, and 20th). These bonus feats must be drawn from the feats noted as fighter bonus feats. A fighter must still meet all prerequisites for a bonus feat, including ability score and base attack bonus minimums.
These bonus feats are in addition to the feat that a character of any class gets from advancing levels. A fighter is not limited to the list of fighter bonus feats when choosing these feats.
Weapon Focus (Ex)
At 1st level, a fighter's martial prowess is established. He gains a +1 bonus to attack rolls with any weapon he is proficient with. This includes natural attacks and unarmed strikes, but does not include spells or supernatural abilities.
Armored Savant (Ex)
At 2nd level, a fighter's skill with his armor rises and he is able to handle even heavy armors smoothly. He ignores the weight of his armor for the purpose of calculating encumbrance. Armor you wear slows you as if it were one category lighter than it is (so medium armor does not slow you and heavy armor slows you as if it were medium armor). In addition, the maximum Dexterity bonus for any armor you wear improves by +1.
Skill Focus
A fighter gains Skill Focus (Intimidate) as a bonus feat at 3rd level.
Weapon Specialization (Ex)
At 4th level, a fighter gains a +2 bonus to all weapon damage rolls. This follows the guidelines in weapon focus.
Extended Intimidation (Ex)
A target successfully intimidated by a 5th level fighter suffers lasting effects. Instead of ending when the fighter leaves, as is normal for the Intimidate skill, the intimidation effect lasts for 24 hours after his departure. Thereafter, the target's attitude toward the fighter shifts to unfriendly, but a lingering fear remains. Whenever the fighter returns to someone he has previously intimidated, he gains a +4 bonus on his Intimidate check to re-establish the effect.
Bonded Armor (Ex)
At 7th level, a fighter's armor becomes like a second skin. You are able to don or remove armor as a full round action. In addition, the armor bonus of any armor you wear rises by 1. At 13th level this bonus increases to 2 and to 3 at level 19.
Weapon Mastery (Ex)
At 8th level, a fighter has reached exceptional pinnacles of skill. He gains a +2 bonus attack rolls and weapon damage rolls. This bonus stacks with the bonus provided by weapon focus and weapon specialization, as well as greater weapon focus and greater weapon specialization (see below). Otherwise, this follows the guidelines in weapon focus.
Swift Demoralization (Ex)
A 9th level fighter can use the demoralize opponent aspect of the Intimidate skill as a swift action rather than as a standard action.
Greater Weapon Focus (Ex)
At 10th level, a fighter's skill with weapons becomes near-legendary. He gains an additional +1 bonus to attack rolls. This follows the guidelines in weapon focus and stacks with weapon focus and weapon mastery.
Overpowering Attack (Ex)
At 11th level, a fighter can focus his attention in combat to deliver a single deadly attack. As a full-round action, make one attack at your highest base attack bonus. That attack deals double damage, as do any other attacks you make before the start of your next turn.
Defensive Juggernaut (Ex)
At 13th level, a fighter's armor is so protective that it renders him close to a living slab of steel. He gains light fortification whenever he wears armor. This functions as the armor special quality of the same name. At 15th level this improves to medium fortification and at 19th level it becomes heavy fortification. In addition, at 17th level, a fighter's skill with armor is so well developed that it even blocks mystical attacks. The fighter gains spell resistance equal to 10 + hit dice.
Greater Weapon Specialization (Ex)
At 14th level, a fighter's blows cause legendary amounts of damage. He gains an additional +2 bonus to weapon damage rolls. This follows the guidelines in weapon focus and stacks with weapon specialization and weapon mastery.
Weapon Supremacy (Ex)
At 18th level, a fighter has reached the peak of his skill, rivaled by only the greatest of all time. He gains several benefits when wielding a weapon he is proficient with. You gain a +4 bonus to CMD against attempts to disarm you. You can wield your weapon in a grapple freely (but not while pinned). Once per round when you make a full attack, you may add a +5 bonus to any attack roll after the first. Once per round before making an attack roll, you can take 10 on an attack. Whenever you are wielding a weapon you are proficient with, you gain a +1 bonus to armor class(this bonus only applies once if you are wielding more than one weapon at a time).

Agonized Fist
Monks in the service of Belial and Fierna learn dark skills to better aid them in their unspeakable depravities. Instead of avoiding and blocking effects, they learn to savor the pain.
To take an agonized fist substitution level, a character must worship Belial or Fierna and be about to take his 2nd, 9th or 13th level of monk.

Skill Points per Level
4 + Intelligence modifier.
2nd: Lose Evasion, gain Endure Fire
9th: Lose Improved Evasion, gain Gift of Pain
13th: Lose Diamond Soul, gain Body of Agony
Endure Fire (Su)
Once per day as a free action when taking fire damage, the agonized fist may revel in the pain of the flames. They burn the monk and yet do not truly harm him. The monk may treat that occurrence of fire damage as non-lethal damage.
At 5th level and every 3 levels thereafter, the agonized fist gains another daily use of Endure Fire.
Gift of Pain (Sp)
A 9th level agonized fist can use sadism or masochism once per day as a spell like ability. His caster level equals his monk level. He may choose which to cast each time he uses this ability, he is not restricted to one or the other. Non-lethal damage from Endure Fire counts as damage for masochism.
At 13th level and every four levels thereafter, the agonized fist gains another daily use of sadism or masochism.
At 14th level, the agonized fist may use this ability as a swift action.
Body of Agony (Ex)
At 13th level, an agonized fist becomes immune to non-lethal damage of all types. They still feel pain from this damage and take superficial injuries, but no true damage is done. Non-lethal damage from Endure Fire still counts for the sake of masochism, even though the agonized fist takes no damage.
Duelist sucks. It's a crappy class that suffers from early 3rd edition game design. It just doesn't give much for the buy-in, let alone to compete against other classes. But since my next project is someone who uses it, I'm sprucing it up. This isn't really a revamp as much as adding enough to make it less of a pile of failure. A change log is below.Changelog:
- Fortitude is now a good save. They're fighter types with a d10 HD, they should be tough. Fort/Ref being good saves gives this class a little more of a statistical backbone for support.
- Expanded the skill list to include the skills swashbuckler adds.
- Enhanced mobility is now gained at level 1 instead of level 3. It's not a great power so you get it right off the bat. A +8 AC bonus makes mobility a little better. It's still a mediocre situational feat.
- Likewise, canny defense is now gained at level 3. It's now purely int to AC and isn't capped by duelist level. It was moved back to prevent easy dipping shenanigans.
- Acrobatic charge is now gotten earlier. This matches swashbuckler handing it out early.
- Grace is now only +1 at level 4, but increases by +1 every three levels. It tops off pre-epic at +3, so that's a net gain. It also now adds together with a swashbuckler's grace ability.
- Crippling strike is gained at level 6. This applies to precise strike. It's a nudge upward for offense, letting a duelist weaken his opponent's attacks as the duel goes on. They needed the boost.
- Added a new capstone: superior mobility. It's great in a Pathfinder styled game that uses CMB/CMD for tumble or a houserule that prevents a DC 20 tumble check from negating AoOs. If you're in a game where that still holds true, this capstone's nearly worthless. I'd recommend making a new one instead.

Enhanced Mobility (Ex)
When wearing no armor and not using a shield, a duelist gains an additional +4 bonus to AC against attacks of opportunity caused when she moves out of a threatened square.
Acrobatic Charge (Ex)
A duelist gains the ability to charge in situations where others cannot. She may charge over difficult terrain that normally slows movement. Depending on the circumstance, she may still need to make appropriate checks to successfully move over the terrain.
Improved Reaction (Ex)
At 2nd level, a duelist gains a +2 bonus on initiative checks.
At 8th level, the bonus increases to +4. This bonus stacks with the benefit provided by the Improved Initiative feat.
Canny Defense (Ex)
When not wearing armor or using a shield, a duelist adds her Intelligence bonus (if any) to her Dexterity bonus to modify Armor Class while wielding a melee weapon. If a duelist is caught flat-footed or otherwise denied her Dexterity bonus, she also loses this bonus.
Grace (Ex)
At 4th level, a duelist gains an additional +1 competence bonus on all Reflex saving throws. This ability functions for a duelist only when she is wearing no armor and not using a shield.
This bonus increases to +2 at 7th level and +3 at 10th level. If you possess the grace class feature from swashbuckler, the bonuses stack. Add them together to determine your total competence bonus to Reflex saves.
Precise Strike (Ex)
At 5th level, a duelist gains the ability to strike precisely with a light or one-handed piercing weapon, gaining an extra 1d6 damage added to her normal damage roll.
A duelist's precise strike only works against living creatures with discernible anatomies. Any creature that is immune to critical hits is not vulnerable to a precise strike, and any item or ability that protects a creature from critical hits also protects a creature from a precise strike. At 10th level, the extra damage on a precise strike increases to +2d6.
Crippling Strike (Ex)
This ability functions as the rogue special ability of the same name, except that it applies to precise strike.
Elaborate Parry (Ex)
At 7th level and higher, if a duelist chooses to fight defensively or use total defense in melee combat, she gains an additional +1 dodge bonus to AC for each level of duelist she has.
Deflect Arrows
At 9th level, a duelist gains the benefit of the Deflect Arrows feat when using a light or one-handed piercing weapon.
Superior Mobility (Ex)
When wearing no armor and not using a shield, a duelist does not provoke attacks of opportunity for moving. She can enter and leave threatened squares without risk.

A 10 level version of Occult Slayer. This is meant to replicate (as much as possible from memory) the lost, full version of Occult Slayer. See the change logs for changes from the CW version. Anyway, this class is fairly straightforward and does what it means to without any frills.
Is this class good? As far as you accept the paradigm of being anti-spellcaster, I think it's okay. It can be circumvented, such as things like orb spells piercing the anti-magic field, but that's problems with 3.5's rules, not the class.
Quick note on the class RAI. Mage Slayer and its line of feats isn't meant to decrease the caster level of the occult slayer's various supernatural abilities. RAW it doesn't since they're supernatural abilities and not spells or SLAs, but it's worth mentioning explicitly If it's a class ability from occult slayer, the penalties to caster level from that line of feats shouldn't apply to those. Changelog:
- Removed improved initiative as a prereq in favor of mage slayer. Mage slayer makes much more sense than improved initiative and ties into two new bonus feats.
- The class fluff mentioned needing to be trained by an existing occult slayer. This is now reflected in the prerequisites.
- Added spot and listen as skills. Most warrior types have this as a class skill (including fighters with Balmuria houserules), so I felt it was a reasonable addition.
- Added K:R as a skill. Arcane casters aren't the only spellcasters by a long shot. Knowledge about religion and thus the plethora of divine spellcasters feels like it fits.
- Fortitude is now a good save. A warrior class with bad fort. Really? Let's not do that.
- Weapon bond's bonus damage now rises at level 3 and every 4 levels thereafter. Integrated weapon focus into it as well as removed a bit that hoses higher level characters with training time. It's also now an ex to play nice with the capstone. This ability gets better in high or epic level play, as almost everything has spellcasting or spell like abilities.
- Auravision is now gained at 1st level. As this partially replicates a cantrip, this really should be gotten earlier.
- Magical defense is now more spread out to fit into the level progression better.
- Mind over magic is now gained at level 3 and gains another use every 3 levels thereafter. It's also fixed to be an immediate action.
- Pierce magical protection and concealment are now worked into the class as bonus feats. These are good feats to begin with, plus they serve a secondary use. By the end of the class, an occult slayer has a -12 to caster level for spells or spell like abilities. It means only the dedicated anti-magic types can afford to take this class. Gishes and gestalters who use magic can't soak the massive CL loss.
- Nondetection cloak now uses the character's total hit dice rather than occult slayer to determine its CL. It tends to fall behind quickly otherwise.
- A new capstone has been added. This is what I remember the unchanged version's capstone being, more or less.

Auravision (Su)
At 1st level, an occult slayer gains the ability to see magical auras at a range of up to 60 feet as a free action. This ability otherwise functions as the detect magic spell. The character cannot use this ability to determine anything but the number of magical auras present.
Weapon Bond (Ex)
An occult slayer must choose a particular weapon of at least masterwork quality as the focus of her power. On making this selection, she immediately forms a bond with the chosen weapon that imbues it with the force of her hatred against spellcasters. Thereafter, any successful melee attack she makes with that weapon against a spellcaster or a creature with spell-like abilities deals an extra 1d6 points of damage. This damage rises by 1d6 at level 5 and every four levels thereafter.
If this particular weapon is lost or destroyed, the occult slayer loses the ability to deal the extra damage until she acquires and bonds with another weapon. This weapon must fulfill the same requirements as the original weapon. The occult slayer must spend one week practicing with the replacement weapon (and doing little else, so no adventuring) to create a new weapon bond.
Magical Defense (Ex)
An occult slayer's constant training in countering magic of all types manifests itself as a bonus on saving throws against spells or spell like abilities. This bonus is +1 at 2nd level, +2 at 5th level and to +3 at 8th level.
Vicious Strike (Ex)
At 2nd level and higher, an occult slayer who readies an attack action to disrupt a spellcaster deals double damage if the attack hits.
Mind over Magic (Su)
Starting at 3rd level, an occult slayer can cause a spell or spell like ability targeted against her to rebound onto the originator as an immediate action. This ability otherwise functions as the spell turning spell (caster level equals the character's occult slayer level + 5). An occult slayer can use this ability once per day at 3rd level, twice per day at 6th level and three times per day at 9th level.
Nondetection Cloak (Su)
Upon reaching 4th level, an occult slayer (and any gear she wears or carries) becomes more difficult to locate through divinations such as clairaudience/clairvoyance, locate object, and other detection spells. The occult slayer gains magical protection from divinations equivalent to a nondetection spell (caster level equals the character's hit dice), except that it affects only the occult slayer and her possessions.
Bonus Feats
The occult slayer gains pierce magical concealment as a bonus feat at 4th level and pierce magical protection at 7th level. She need not meet the prerequisites for these feats. If she already has those feats, she may select another feat she meets the qualifications for.
Blank Thoughts (Ex)
At 8th level, an occult slayer can induce within herself a state of mental absence, thereby becoming immune to mind affecting effects (charms, compulsions, patterns, phantasms, and morale effects). She can suppress or resume this ability as a free action.
Antimagic Field (Su)
A 10th level occult slayer can surround himself with a field of pure antimagic. This functions as the spell antimagic field and is centered on the occult slayer. This ability may be used or turned off as a swift action and may be used for a number of rounds each day equal to the occult slayer's class level. This ability's duration may be spread out as the occult slayer wishes and it does not need to be used consecutively.

Terrain Mastery
At each level, the horizon walker adds a new terrain to his repertoire from those given below. Terrain mastery gives the horizon walker two benefits. The first is that they may apply their terrain bonus (see the table above) to attack rolls and weapon damage rolls, as well as Hide, Listen, Move Silently, Spot and Survival checks while in that terrain. This represents the horizon walker's hard won knowledge of how to fight effectively in that terrain. Secondly, the horizon walker gains a specific benefit as listed in the terrain. This benefit applies beyond that terrain. For example, a horizon walker with the hills terrain mastery is immune to fatigue both in and out of hilly terrain.
In the event a terrain might count as more than one type of terrain, the horizon walker only applies his terrain bonus once.
Planar Terrain Mastery
Planar terrain mastery functions just like terrain mastery, except that it applies to planar conditions that are not native to the Prime Material. The horizon walker can take a non-planar terrain type instead, if he wishes.
Terrain masteries and planar terrain masteries are extraordinary abilities unless noted otherwise.
Terrain MasteriesAquatic
You gain a swim speed equal to one half of your land speed. You gain a +8 racial bonus to swim checks to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. You can always can choose to take 10 on a swim check, even if distracted or endangered. You can use the run action while swimming, provided you swim in a straight line.
If you already have a swim speed, increase it by 10ft instead.
Desert
You can endure without water. You can go up to 3 days plus your Constitution score without water before needing to make Constitution checks.
Forest
You gain woodland stride, as the ranger ability of the same name. If you already have this ability, you instead gain a +4 bonus to saving throws against enchanted or magically manipulated thorns, briars and overgrown areas.
Hills
You resist effects that tire you. You are immune to fatigue and anything that would cause you to become exhausted makes you fatigued instead.
Marsh
You resist the diseases that fill swamps. You are immune to diseases.
Mountains
You gain a climb speed of 10ft. You gain a +8 racial bonus on all climb checks. You must make a climb check to climb any wall or slope with a DC of more than 0, but you can always choose to take 10, even if rushed or threatened while climbing. You climb at the given speed while climbing. If you choose an accelerated climb, you move at double your climb speed and make a single climb check with a -5 penalty. You cannot run while climbing. You retain your Dexterity bonus to armor class (if any) while climbing and opponents get no special bonuses on their attacks against you.
If you already have a climb speed, increase it by 10ft instead.
Plains
Your land movement speed rises by 10ft. This stacks with other bonuses to movement speed, such as a monk's fast movement.
Underground
You gain darkvision out to 60ft. This stacks with any darkvision you already possess.
Planar Terrain MasteriesFiery
This kind of planar terrain mastery provides you with resistance to fire 30.
Weightless
You gain a fly speed equal to your land speed with perfect maneuverability. When you are on planes with no gravity or subjective gravity, you use the plane's fly speed but gain a +30ft bonus to it.
Cold
This kind of planar terrain mastery provides you with resistance to cold 30.
Transitive
You instinctively anticipate shifts in the reality of the plane that bring you closer to your destination, giving you the spell-like ability to use dimension door (as the spell cast at your character level) once every 1d4 rounds.
This is a supernatural ability.
Aligned
You have the instinctive ability to mimic the dominant alignment of the plane. You incur none of the penalties for having an alignment at odds with that of the plane and spells and abilities that harm those of the opposite alignment don't affect you. You have the dominant alignment of the plane with regard to magic, but your behavior and any alignment-related class features you have are unaffected.
Cavernous
You gain tremorsense with a 30ft range.
Positive
You gain fast healing 2. This stacks with any fast healing you have from other permanent sources. You are not at risk of being blinded in a major positive dominant plane and you do not gain temporary hit points from fast healing on the plane.
Negative
You gain immunity to negative levels. You do not take damage each round on a minor or major negative dominant plane.
Watery
You gain the ability to breathe water as if it were air.
QuoteApplying Planar Terrain Masteries
Where planar terrain masteries apply may not be immediately clear. Several examples for each mastery are provided below.
Fiery: Fire dominant planes such as the Elemental Plane of Fire, Ysgard's layer of Muspelheim and Baator's layer of Phlegethos.
Weightless: Planes such as the Astral Plane and the Elemental Plane of Air.
Cold: Planes with intense cold, such as Baator's layer of Stygia and Cania as well as the Para-Elemental Plane of Ice.
Transitive: Any transitive plane, such as the Astral Plane or the Infinite Stairway.
Aligned: Any plane with an elemental alignment of any strength. This applies to almost all outer planes and deific domains.
Cavernous: Any plane centered around caverns, such as the Elemental Plane of Earth or all of Pandemonium.
Positive: Any plane with the positive dominant trait, such as the Positive Energy Plane, Ysgard or Elysium.
Negative: Any plane with the negative dominant trait, such as the Negative Energy Plane or the Abyss's layer of Thanatos.
Watery: Any plane that is water dominant, such as the Elemental Plane of Water.
When in doubt, the DM should use his best judgment.

Various new poisons, rules for poisons and revised epic poisons. To get sourcing out of the way first, the rules for increasing the DCs of poisons are from Kingdoms of Kalamar. I revised and adjusted them for Balmuria. Likewise, epic poisons are from an epic insights article, there's a link in the epic poisons section. Notes as follows.
- The essence poisons are extrapolated variants of Complete Scoundrel's elemental rime poison. These haven't changed much and follow the same pattern. Meanwhile, the two enchanter's poisons are ways to allow poisons to loosen up other avenues of attack. A solo enchanter can trick targets into ingesting foods or drink with them. Alternately, a party rogue could use this to make the party mage's enchantments work better.
- Wizardbane is a result of epic poisons and stem from researching those. The high DC and spell-destruction makes it the bane of many a spellcaster. Meanwhile, anyone setting up dungeon or looking to force some resource attrition on a spellcaster will love it. Unfortunately it's not cheap. Speaking of, the prices and craft DCs for these poisons were eyeballed. As far as I can tell, that's how 3.5 did poisons anyway.
- The purchase of upgraded poisons is possible. The exact possibility varies, so ask the DM. Generally, poisons boosted to up to +10 DC can be found. Anything higher requires epic skill focus, and is thus correspondingly rare. That usually takes finding a poisoner of rare skill or investing in the resources to do it yourself.
- Quick design notes about epic poisons. The base DC is no lower than 40 for an epic poison. I had a soft cap of 60 while designing examples, but there's likely stronger ones out there. For instance, making a poison out of the true Jormungandr's breath would likely do it. The craft DC is the save DC + 10. I wanted a stable way of calculating them rather than throwing numbers together. Finally, the price is save DC*crafting DC*10. Remember the price is per dose.New Poisons| Poison | Type | Craft DC | Initial Damage | Secondary Damage | Price |
| Air Essence | Injury DC 16 | 18 | 1d4 Dex + special | 1d4 Dex | 200 gp |
| Fire Essence | Injury DC 16 | 18 | 1d4 Str + special | 1d4 Str | 200 gp |
| Water Essence | Injury DC 16 | 18 | 1d4 Con + special | 1d4 Con | 200 gp |
| Earth Essence | Injury DC 16 | 18 | 1d4 Int + special | 1d4 Int | 200 gp |
| Enchanter's Friend | Injury/Ingested DC 16 | 23 | Special | Special | 800 gp |
| Enchanter's Slave | Injury/Ingested DC 19 | 26 | Special | Special | 2500 gp |
| Wizardbane | Injury DC 27 | 33 | 1d4 spells | 1d6 spells | 5000 gp |
Enchanter's Friend
Enchanter's friend is a mix of several calming herbs and essences that induce a state of mental weakness. The poison appears of a similar color and consistency of soft soap, though it smells and tastes of herbs. A creature that fails the initial saving throw from this poison suffers a -4 penalty to all Will saves against enchantment effects for 1 hour, as well as the secondary damage saving throw of this poison. If the secondary saving throw is failed, the penalty increases to -8. Multiple doses of this poison do not stack.
Enchanter's Slave
Enchanter's slave is an enhanced version of enchanter's friend poison. It appears, smells and tastes just like that poison. It functions as enchanter's friend, except the duration of the Will save penalties are 24 hours. In addition, creatures under a dominate person or dominate monster effect do not gain a +2 bonus to saving throws granted by an order against its nature.
Elemental Essence
This substance is poisonous to most creatures. It is the essence of the elemental planes condensed into a toxic paste. The paste moves slightly of its own accord; water essence sloshes about, fire essence crackles and burns, air essence constantly stirs as if in a wind and earth essence appears to break down into smaller pieces before reforming. In addition to the listed ability damage for each essence, the victim suffers vulnerability to a type of energy damage if it fails the initial saving throw. This vulnerability lasts for 10 rounds. Air essence gives vulnerability to electricity, fire essence inflicts vulnerability to fire, water essence causes vulnerability to cold and finally earth essence results in vulnerability to acid.
In addition to the craft(poisonmaking) check, creating a dose of elemental essence requires a DC 15 knowledge (planes) check.
Wizardbane
The creation of epic poisons involves various anti-magical compounds as as a sealant. These compounds can be used to create a poison that destroys a spellcaster's prepared spells or spell charges. Wizardbane appears as a clear liquid and is easily mistaken for water. However, it is sticky to the touch. Creatures poisoned by wizardbane lose prepared spells or spell charges. For instance, a victim who suffers 2 lost spells on initial damage loses 2 spells. The victim loses their highest available spells or spell charges. Spells lost in this way are considered expended for the day. Creatures who are not spellcasters suffer no effect from this poison.
Despite the name, this poison works equally well on divine spellcasters as it does on arcane spellcasters. While the creation of this poison involves some of the compounds used to make epic poisons, it is not an epic poison.
This poison can affect psionic characters, but they only lose power points equal to the manifestation cost of their highest available power as initial and secondary damage.
Increasing the DC of poisonsA poison's DC may be increased during the crafting phase. You may choose to increase the save DC of a poison you create. For each point you choose to do so, the craft check's DC rises by two. Raising the DC of a poison increases the market price of the poison by 10% for each point you increase the DC by. The price rises are cumulative. The save DCs stack with bonuses from various other abilities, such as the poison specialization feat.
A poison's DC may not be increased by more than 5 in this manner. A character with skill focus (craft:poisonmaking) may increase the DC up to 10. A character with epic skill focus(craft:poisonmaking) may increase the DC up to 20.
Epic PoisonsEpic poisons are designed to be effective on extraordinary threats, ones that may laugh off normal poison. Epic poisons function as normal poisons, but with several modifications listed below. This is largely unchanged from how epic poisons work in the following article (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ei/20021110a), save for a few clarifications. The epic poisons below supersede the epic poisons in that article.
It's best to think of epic poisons as the worst of the worst poisons, encased in anti-magic to keep them from afflicting anything but the target of the poison as much as an offensive measure. Unlike normal poisons, epic poisons tend to be conceptual in nature, having more diverse effects or effects tied to the outer planes. By this point, mundane and magical poisons aren't enough to put down epic threats; epic poisons are meant to be used against threats that shrug off normal poisons.
- Epic poisons are inherently anti-magical. They ignore any magical defenses against poison, such as spells like delay poison or neutralize poison. Supernatural resistances or immunities to poison likewise fail. Even magical items that grant bonuses to saving throws fail against epic poisons, such as a periapt of proof against poison or a cloak of resistance. Even non-permanent bonuses to ability scores are not counted to saves against epic poisons. Exception: Deities, being naturally immune to anti-magic, are not subject to this condition of epic poisons.
- Magical means to heal the ability damage from these poisons fail. Only rest or the personal intervention of a deity can heal this damage.
- Heal checks to tend wounds from epic poisons still function as normal. Alchemical antitoxin functions against epic poisons.
- Being anti-magical, epic poisons cannot be created or worked by spells, spell-like abilities or supernatural abilities.
- Creating epic poisons requires 24 or more ranks in craft (poisonmaking). This ties into the epic skill rewrite I'll have done one day. It removes the need to take the epic poison crafter feat.
- The raw materials needed to make each epic poison tend to be rare and difficult to obtain. Obtaining the materials to make these poisons is half the battle. As such, it's rare to see epic poisons for sale. It does happen on occasion, and a character who has a source of materials to make one can find an eager and willing market.

* Ravage. See BoED as well as houserules.
** The craft DC as well as price of the poison use the baseline price of Jormugandr's Breath. The reduced save DC is a result of the conversion process.
Chaos Ichor
This poison is the brain fluids of white and black slaad mixed with plants from Arborea and the Abyss. The raw chaos and imbalance in the poison results in a rainbow colored, ever-shifting liquid. This poison causes spontaneous and bizarre mutations on anyone who takes initial or secondary damage. While strange, these mutations have no mechanical effect and fade once the ability score damage has healed.
Mertonion
Mertonion is silvery water that resembles runny mercury. It comes from a hidden holy spring deep within Mertion, where the sheer glory of Celestia is so bright as to seep into the stones of the spring. Mertonion is cold and has no taste whatsoever. An evil creature that fails the secondary damage saving throw is afflicted as if by vision of heaven with a permanent duration (CL 43rd). This effect can be dispelled, but only after the Charisma damage has healed. Good aligned creatures are immune to this poison.
Bloody Aloe
In the aftermath of battles between demon lords, only blood and carnage is left behind. In this aftermath grows the bloody aloe plant. Its leaves can be refined into a thin crimson poison that devours a creature's life force. If a creature fails the secondary damage saving throw, they must repeat the secondary damage saving throw every minute, until they pass or die from Constitution damage.
Bloodburn
This curious, stone-like liquid is chilly and tastes like ashes. It is cold magma from the frozen core of a dead Prime Material world. When exposed to the warmth and life of a creature's bloodstream, it ignites and causes considerable overall damage. Creatures immune to fire are immune to this poison, while creatures vulnerable to fire take double the normal ability score damage from it.
Soulfreeze
A liquid poison made of the frozen souls of the defeated enemies of Mephistopheles, Lord of Cania. This poison appears as blue, gummy, semi solid material that smears easily onto weapons. It consumes the intellect of creatures and leaves behind an emotionless husk. A creature that suffers Intelligence damage from this poison loses the ability to feel all emotion until the ability damage has healed. If the creature is reduced to zero Intelligence by this poison, the emotionless state becomes permanent instead. Such creatures ultimately find nothing in life fulfills them.
Purified Jormugandr's Breath
This is Jormugandr's Breath poison (see below), converted to a ravage. While still potent, the save DC is reduced due to the conversion, while the price and craft DC are unchanged despite the lower save DC.
Jormugandr's Breath
A poison made of the breath weapon of Jormugandr's children. It takes form as a roiling brown mist that bursts forth from its container with gale wind force. This poison greatly devastates a victim's health, with the secondary damage being routinely fatal.
Voidchild's Essence
The essence of a voidchild, one of Shar's abominations. It appears as nothing more than a blank space and has no appearance, taste, smell or feel. If applied to the skin it causes immediate and long lasting numbness (and functions as an excellent analgesic). Voidchild's essence weakens a victim's sense of identity and awareness from the inside out, dealing damage to all six ability scores. A creature slain while suffering ability damage from this poison cannot be resurrected by any means, save for a deity with the Gift of Life salient divine ability.
Nessian Sludge
This foul, green paste is only seen in the hands of Nessian Pit Fiends and the most favored of the Lord of the Ninth's assassins. The origins of it are not known, though on rare occasion a dose is known to turn up in elite, secret auctions. Unlike most poisons, Nessian Sludge requires a Will save to resist instead of a Fortitude save. In addition, if the secondary damage saving throw is failed or a victim is reduced to zero Wisdom by the poison, the target's alignment changes to lawful evil. This change is permanent, though a wish or miracle spell can reverse it.
Sands of Time
Sands from the beaches that surround the Womb of Arborea. It appears as sand in all ways. This sand causes instant aging in victims. In addition to the ability damage, a creature that fails the primary or secondary damage saving throw advances one age category. Creatures below middle age become middle aged, while middle aged creatures become old and old creatures become venerable. A venerable creature crumbles to dust and is slain. Aging in this method grants the normal penalties to Strength, Dexterity and Constitution, but none of the bonuses to Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma; these penalties stack with the ability damage caused by this poison. Living creatures that do not age, such as outsiders, are still affected by this poison. However, they cannot be slain by it, only reduced to venerable age. Undead, constructs and other non-living creatures are not affected by this affliction.
Godsblood
The blood of a deity distilled into its purest form. The exact color depends on the deity the blood was taken from, as does the smell, taste and other defining characteristics. No matter the source, Godsblood destroys mortal and immortal minds by forcibly uniting them with the unknowable power of a deity. A creature that fails the secondary damage saving throw suffers complete mental obliteration. The creature's mental ability scores are permanently reduced to 0 and cannot be raised by any means short of divine intervention. In essence, the creature is now a mindless husk of meat locked in nightmares as long as it lives. Creatures with divine rank are immune to this poison.
A new area for the Elemental Plane of Water. I'm working up a dungeon in it. It's meant to be a place suited for high/epic level adventurers. The local conditions are sufficiently hostile to scare off most creatures, but the powerful can turn that into the perfect place for a secret lair.New Elemental Plane of Water Area: Crystal Reef SeaThe places in Water that border Ice are frigid oceans that endlessly churn in wintry storms. Ice, snow and freezing rain swirl amid sub-zero waters. This inhospitable region is lightly populated and seldom traveled. The exception to this is the Crystal Reef Sea, a place where hardy life thrives in city-sized clumps of kelp, great schools of arctic fish, meandering monoliths of coral and creatures uniquely adapted to endure the local conditions.
The Crystal Reef Sea is a lull in the stormy border region, lacking much in the way of currents at all. It is a thick, frozen jungle of massive tangles of kelp, free floating icebergs and masses of coral. Unlike most of Water, the Crystal Reef Sea is considerably filled with solid materials. Exploring it is akin to exploring a rather airy and passage-riddled cave system.
Crystal Reef Sea TraitsAll traits of the Elemental Plane of Water apply here, in addition to and modified by the following.
Changes to Existing Traits- Spells and spell-like abilities that create or use cold are extended and enlarged. Spells and spell-like abilities that create or use both cold and water are double extended and double enlarged, gaining triple the normal duration and increases its normal range by 200%.
- The Spellcraft DC to successfully cast spells and spell-like abilities with the fire descriptor or spells from the Fire domain increases to 30 + double the spell level.
New Traits- Minor Cold-Dominant. Creatures suffer 1d10 points of cold damage per round within the Crystal Reef Sea. Any creature that takes cold damage from this trait immediately becomes afflicted by mild hypothermia (Frost pg 10). Each additional instance of damage advances the hypothermia by one step. Creatures that reach severe hypothermia are disabled and will quickly freeze to death from ongoing cold damage.
- Flash Freezing. Any spell or spell-like ability that deals cold damage within an area of effect instantly freezes the water therein, creating a new free-floating piece of ice. Creatures within this range must make a DC 25 Reflex save. Failure results in the creature being trapped in the ice. The creature is unable to move, though it may attempt a DC 25 Strength check each round to free itself. A creature that succeeds on the Reflex save or Strength check is trapped within the ice, but in a hollow that allows normal actions. Each square of ice has a hardness of 1 and 25 hit points. Any fire damage will instantly melt squares of ice. At the DM's discretion, other abilities may also cause water to flash freeze.
Crystal Reef Sea InhabitantsUnlike many areas of Water or Ice, there are few elementals within the Crystal Reef Sea. Water elementals find the cold too constrictive, threatening to freeze them. While they are not in danger of taking damage from the minor cold-dominant trait, they find the area uncomfortable. Conversely, ice elementals find the liquidity of the cold water disturbing as it wears against their icy bodies. As a result, there are almost no elementals within the Crystal Reef Sea.
This vacuum has been filled by a motley assortment of creatures from across the planes. There is no central authority and no archomental pays much attention to the area. As a result, it has many redoubts of creatures who wish to avoid attention.
Common creatures found in the area are: crystal reef hunters (http://www.soulriders.net/forum/index.php/topic,101746.msg1049552.html#msg1049552), coral eaters (http://www.soulriders.net/forum/index.php/topic,101746.msg1049554.html#msg1049554), frost lilies (http://www.soulriders.net/forum/index.php/topic,101746.msg1049559.html#msg1049559), ice weirds(Frost pg 126), chilblains*(Frost pg 114), malaysneps(Frost pg 142), ice mephits* and cyrohydras*. Virtually any creature that can endure the cold and breath underwater can find a home in the Crystal Reef Sea.
* These creatures have the aquatic subtype, allowing them to breathe water. They have a swim speed equal to one half of their land movement speed.
Most creatures lair in hollows within larger ice shards or coral caves. The tangled nature of the plane has many suitable nooks and crannies for creatures to call home. More potent creatures may transmute the coral and kelp into other materials or import materials from other places. Fortresses of stone and more exotic materials are not unheard of. These buildings tend to end up covered in kelp, coral and ice without regular maintenance, making them difficult to find.
Movement and CombatMovement within the Crystal Reef Sea is slow. Navigating the various formations of kelp, ice, coral and other things slows travel down to a crawl. The travel is closer to an airy cave full of passages in all directions. There is ample sources of cover, including some hollows within ice or coral where there is air. For overland travel through the Crystal Reef Sea, treat the travel rate as trackless jungle.
The exact size of the Crystal Reef Sea is uncertain and likely variable in any event. It is generally no less than 6,000 miles in diameter, as large as some Prime Material worlds. Creatures can wander for years within it. As such, the area makes a poor place to travel from Water to Ice. Travelers who seek to map and understand the region are advised to remember that staggering distances mean nothing on planes that are infinitely large.
In addition, movement and combat both suffer the same problems as within Water. In particular, the difficulties of underwater fighting still exist. Creatures without effective swim speeds find themselves at a severe disadvantage to natives. Not only are natives generally faster underwater, but the ample terrain encourages ambushes and hit and run tactics. The more intelligent inhabitants of the area rely on these against creatures that do not look well suited to underwater combat.
Features of the Crystal Reef SeaThe basic rules of Water apply to the Crystal Reef Sea. Water pressure stays within safe tolerances, creatures made of fire take 1d10 damage per round (stacks with the minor cold-dominant trait) and so forth.
Food is abundantly available. There are many types of edible fish and kelp to be found. Likewise, water is no problem to obtain. The water of the area is fresh water despite the name; creatures normally native to salt waters have no difficulty here in regardless of that.
Unlike Water, the Crystal Reef Sea is bright. The natural luminosity of the waters is refracted by the free floating ice and joined by the arrays of coral. This results in a generally whitish-blue glow to everything, with ranges of coral pinks and reds near great concentrations of coral. Often times the nature of the light seems like an array of light refracted through a prism and is the source of the region's name.
Existing Features of Water- Hot spots and ice pockets do not occur. The proximity to Ice results in sub-zero water temperatures all throughout.
- Likewise, the normal currents of Water are still. There are few currents, tides or bores. This is due to the stilling effect of Ice's cold.
- There are no red tides within the Crystal Reef Sea. There are other contagions, see below.
- There are weeds and coral, in particular kelp. While coral tends to take on irregular shapes, it still forms beds that are prime fishing locations. The majority of these are uninhabited.
- There are no established marid communities within the Crystal Reef Sea. The Padisha and most leading Marids do not consider the resources there worth the trouble. Further, several powerful marid have secluded lairs there, which they prefer to stay secluded. A few marids have been known to mount expeditions to varying levels of success.
New Features for the Crystal Reef SeaIce Lakes
The larger pieces of free floating ice in the Crystal Reef Sea often have a liquid center. This water is of perfect purity and coldness, kept in liquid form through a quirk of the plane. These lakes are known as ice lakes.
Ice lakes are ruled by conclaves of ice weirds, who value the purity of the water to make exceptionally powerful scrying pools. They build homes around them and burrow paths in the glaciers. These paths are patrolled by water elementals and ice para-elementals held in thrall by the elemental command ability of the ice weirds.
The waters of the lake make a powerful weapon. A vial of water from an ice lake can be used like a vial of acid or holy water. It deals 1d6 points of cold damage to a target and 1 point of cold damage to all adjacent creatures through splash damage. Total immersion in the the waters of an ice lake deals 20d6 damage per round of immersion. The corpse of a creature slain by ice lake water transforms, as if affected by a flesh to ice spell. An ice to flesh spell reverses this, but it does not revive the slain creature.
The ice lakes may be used as powerful scrying pools. Any creature capable of casting scrying as a spell or spell-like abilities (or more advanced versions such as greater scrying) may use the surface of an ice lake to augment the spell. This replaces the focus for the spell, if one is needed for the caster. Using an ice lake grants a +3 bonus to the caster level of scrying as well as a +3 bonus to the scrying's save DC. Ice weirds seldom let other creatures use an ice lake and favors or gifts are expected for the privilege.
Border Instability
The borders between elemental planes and para-elemental planes are areas of great flux. While the Crystal Reef Sea is unusually calm for a border area, there are still sections where magic reacts chaotically due to the competing elemental influences. These areas affect spells and spell-like abilities profoundly.
An area of instability has no visual hints or signs. Creatures who can cast spells or spell-like abilities are entitled to a DC 40 Spellcraft check to notice entering one and a DC 20 Spellcraft check to notice when detecting magic or using similar divinations. A creature with the cold or water subtypes halves these DCs to 20 and 10, respectively. Once detected, a DC 30 Knowledge(Arcana) or Knowledge(Planes) check is required to identify the properties of the area of instability.
An area of instability affects magic cast. Any time a spell or spell-like ability is cast and it does not have the water or cold descriptors, the caster must make a DC 40 Spellcraft check. A successful check results in the spell being cast as normal. If this check fails, the spell gains those descriptors. Any damage the spell does is converted to cold damage and apply the flash freeze trait. If the spell creates or conjures things, the objects are made of ice and water instead. Summoned creatures are treated as being summoned by a conjure ice beast spell and gain the ice beast template. Generally, if a spell has a suitable cold or water themed equivalent, use it in place of the spell. For example, a wall of stone may turn into a wall of ice.
A spell that already has the water or the cold descriptors is not in danger of being altered. Instead, if the Spellcraft check is failed, the spell's potency is reduced. Treat the caster level as 1/2 of its normal value to determine all variables of the spell. The energies taken from the spell are not lost. Instead, one round after the spell is cast, the energies coalesce into a newborn elemental. If the spell only has one of the two descriptors, it is an elemental of that type. If the spell has both the water and cold descriptors, choose which type it is randomly. It appears adjacent to the area of effect or one of the targets of the spell as suitable. Should neither of these apply, it appears adjacent to the caster instead. The newborn elemental is neutral to all creatures there and quickly realizes a desire to head towards the plane that better suits it.
For the strength of the elemental created, see the following table.
| Spell Level | Elemental Type |
| 0-3 | Small |
| 4-6 | Medium |
| 7-9 | Large |
| 10+ | Huge |
Frigid Algae
On occasion, the Crystal Reef Sea is plagued by a particular type of algae. This snowy algae is noted for carrying a virulent disease that causes death via freezing the bloodstream. This disease is commonly known as Auril's Revenge. It was named by a traveling aasimar and Auril has nothing to do with it. Nonetheless, the name stuck.
Frigid algae blossoms rapidly over kelp before spreading. It looks like nothing more than large snowflakes in the water. The exact size of an outbreak varies, but usually covers a diameter from 1000ft to no more than 10000ft. It is not difficult to see coming and only requires a DC 10 Spot check to notice before swimming into it. However, a DC 30 Knowledge(Planes) or Knowledge(Local:Water) check is required to identify it as frigid algae rather than snow.
Creatures who inhale frigid algae are at risk of infection, as are creatures who touch it with unprotected skin. Each round that contact occurs requires a saving throw against the disease.
| Disease | Infection DC | Incubation | Damage |
| Auril's Revenge | Contact/Inhalation 26 | 1 day | 2d6 Con |
Auril's Revenge
The result of exposure to frigid algae, which carry the disease. Causes the bloodstream to freeze and can result in death via slow hypothermia and oxygen deprivation.
Soul Eater. Revised and toned down a bit. While it's nasty and open to abuse, the fact that it's an evil PrC in a book mainly meant for DMs makes it reasonable enough to me. Nonetheless, I did tweak it down a little bit and altered some parts to fit Balmuria better, as well as clearing up a few weak points in the text.
Change log is as follows.
- Increased the soul eater's hd to d10s. It's a bit of a buff since the class gets a few nerfs later on.
- Replaced alertness with vile natural attack. Alertness doesn't fit into anything the class does. Vile natural attack fits much better with the class and is in the same sourcebook.
- Streamlined the class's special requirement.
- Gained K:A as a class skill, as it requires it in the pre-reqs. It's only fair.
- Rewrote energy drain to work with natural attacks. The previous version is not written well, and let's be honest, people take the class only to stack negative levels on their natural attacks. May as well remove the ambiguity about it.
- Added a save DC for the Fortitude save to remove the negative level. The default save DC calculation for negative levels uses a creature's racial HD, so that doesn't quite work for the class.
- Added a ravenous ability at level 1. This is meant to enable the fluff about soul eaters needing to feed on souls. Now soul eaters have an unavoidable reason to bestow negative levels, making the class a self-perpetuating cycle. It also makes it a slightly less attractive dip option. While the disadvantage isn't hard to work around(oh no, you have to use your awesome class feature every day), it's a concrete drawback to the class.
- Soul blast made multiple times per day as you level up and is now an immediate action to use.
- Soul radiance reworked to not be a polymorph mess. It augments other class features instead.
- Energy drain 2 replaced with soul subsistence. This a deliberate decision. The class is already really good with the energy draining and various bonuses. Upping it to 2 negative levels a hit just makes the class that much deadlier. This is an open attempt to tone down the class a bit.
- There's now a limit to the number of wights a soul eater may command.Soul Eater

Energy Drain (Su)
A soul eater gains the ability to drain energy, bestowing negative levels upon its victims. Beginning at 1st level, the natural weapons of a soul eater bestows one negative level on its target. The Fortitude save DC to remove one of these negative levels is 10 + 1/2 your hit dice + your Charisma modifier.
A soul eater can't give itself negative levels with this ability.
Ravenous (Ex)
A soul eater is beholden to the forces of darkness and its own urges. If not satisfied, the soul eater's powers will turn on itself to sate itself. A soul eater must bestow a negative level on a living creature each day. If it does not, it suffers a negative level as its own soul satisfies the hunger within it. Negative levels gained in this way never result in permanent level loss. Multiple negative levels from failing to bestow a negative level result in stacking negative levels. If the soul eater gains negative levels equal to its current hit dice, it dies. Once the soul eater bestows a negative level on a living creature, all of the negative levels vanish.
Negative levels gained as a result of this ability cannot be prevented in any way, as the soul eater's own essence is devouring itself. Even creatures normally not subject to negative levels are affected by this.
Soul Strength (Su)
When a 2nd level soul eater uses its energy drain ability, it gains a +4 enhancement bonus to Strength for 24 hours.
Soul Blast (Su)
When a 3rd level soul eater uses its energy drain ability, it may project a 100ft ray of force as an immediate action. This ray deals 1d6 points of damage per soul eater level against one target. The target is allowed a Reflex saving throw to avoid the damage (DC 10 + soul eater's class level + soul eater's Cha bonus). This supernatural ability can be used once per day per three soul eater levels.
Soul Enhancement (Su)
When a 4th level soul eater uses its energy drain ability, it gains a +2 enhancement bonus on all saving throws, ability checks, and skill checks for 24 hours. This bonus stacks with any enhancement bonuses gained to ability scores that apply to saves or checks.
Soul Endurance (Su)
When a 5th level soul eater uses its energy drain ability, it gains +4 enhancement bonus to Constitution for 24 hours.
Soul Radiance (Su)
If a 6th level soul eater kills a creature by inflicting negative levels equal to its hit dice, its powers swell. The bonuses from soul strength, soul enhancement and soul endurance rise by 2. When the soul eater gains the soul agility and soul power abilities, they likewise gain a 2 point bonus from this ability.
Soul Subsistence (Su)
When a 7th level soul eater uses its energy drain ability, it does not need to eat, drink or sleep for 24 hours. This satiates the soul eater and removes any previous thirst, hunger or fatigue.
Soul Agility (Su)
When an 8th level soul eater uses its energy drain ability, it gains a +4 enhancement bonus to Dexterity for 24 hours.
Soul Slave (Su)
If a 9th level soul eater completely drains a creature of energy, the victim becomes a wight under the command of the soul eater. It may command as many wights as it has levels in soul eater. Any excess wights are free-willed and are neutral towards the soul eater.
Soul Power (Su)
After a 10th level soul eater had drained energy, all spell-like and supernatural abilities gain a +2 profane bonus to their saving throw DC for 24 hours. Further, and and all spell-like or supernatural abilities the soul eater possesses may be used twice as often as normal during that 24-hour period. For example, if an aboleth soul eater drains energy, it may use its enslave power six times per day rather than three times per day.

- Naturalization's benefits expanded.
- Cosmic connection gained 3 levels earlier.
- Doubled the damage for each +1 cosmic connection provides.
There's no really huge changes as much as a lot of little tweaks.

Superior Planar Summoning (Ex)
Beginning at 1st level, the cosmic descryer can increase the power of any of the following spells-elemental swarm, gate, greater planar ally, greater planar binding, summon monster IX, or summon nature's ally IX-to affect or summon outsiders of 4 Hit Dice higher than the spell's normal limit or conjure creatures with 4 Hit Dice of advancement. Every four levels thereafter, the cosmic descryer can increase the number of extra Hit Dice by 4.
Naturalization (Ex)
Starting at 2nd level, the cosmic descryer develops a natural affinity for one plane that she has visited. She chooses a plane she has visited. While on that plane, she is treated as being a native of that plane. She is immune to the natural conditions and traits of that plane unless she chooses otherwise. She may use her own alignment or the alignment of the plane (if any) for effects that target while on the plane. For example, a neutral evil cosmic descryer who chooses Arborea could have her alignment count as good and chaotic or evil for effects while on Arborea. She may choose which applies to her for each effect. At 7th level and every 5 levels thereafter, the cosmic descryer may choose another plane to gain these benefits on.
Enduring Gate (Su)
Starting at 3rd level, as a full-round action, the cosmic descryer can make any casting of the gate spell remain for a full day, rather than disappearing after 1 round per caster level. Every three levels thereafter, the cosmic descryer can increase the duration of gate by one additional day.
Cosmic Connection (Su)
At 4th level, the cosmic descryer may join with the massive energy of the multiverse once per day, plus one additional time per day every five levels thereafter. The cosmic descryer can remain connected for a number of minutes equal to his or her class level. While connected, the character is immune to critical hits, is a native on any plane he or she visits, and can use dimension door at will as a 20th-level caster. The cosmic descryer can draw off excess energy from the multiverse itself to increase his or her effective caster level or enhance any attack roll, saving throw, skill check, or ability check. Drawing off excess energy from the multiverse is dangerous, and it deals the cosmic descryer 10 points of damage for each +1 bonus applied to a single roll or +1 caster level on a single spell.
Bonus Feats
A cosmic descryer gains an epic bonus feat at level 5 and every 5 levels thereafter.

Easier Management of Advanced Summons
The time and effort to generate advanced summons can be prohibitive. For quicker generation, the following bonuses can be applied. These bonuses are not perfectly accurate but summarized and condensed for ease of use.
- Increase maximum hit points by the following, depending on the summoned creature's hit dice: 10 (d4s), 14 (d6s), 18 (d8s), 22 (d10s), 26 (d12s). Then multiply the summoned creature's Constitution modifier by its hit dice (including the ones provided by this ability) and add that number to its maximum hit points as well.
- Increase all attack rolls by the following, depending on the summoned creature's base attack bonus progression: +2 (if as a wizard), +3 (if as a cleric), +4 (if as a fighter). If the summoned creature uses a weapon capable of iterative attacks, add this bonus and the creature's BAB together to determine iterative attacks. This increase to attack rolls also applies to CMB and CMD.
- Increase all save DCs that use the creature's hit dice in the calculation by 2.
- Increase the caster level of any spell-like abilities of the summoned creature by 4.
- If the creature's is a non-epic creature (below 21 hit dice), increase good saves by 2 and bad saves by 1.
- If the creature is an epic creature (21 or more hit dice), increase all saves by 1.
- Increase all the creature's skills by 4.
In addition, the following can be applied as well, but they take more time to properly apply.
- Increase one of the summoned creature's ability scores by 1. Recalculate any relevant values if this increases the creature's ability modifier. An ability of null (0) cannot be raised, nor can an ability that would cause the creature's type to change (such as increasing an animal's Intelligence to 3 or higher).
- Add a new feat to the creature. For the sake of ease, it's recommended to choose simple feats such as toughness, improved initiative, great fortitude and so forth.
For each additional 4 hit dice of advancement, apply these bonuses again.

Note: For the feats Chaotic Rage, Incite Rage, Ruinous Rage, Terrifying Rage and Thundering Rage, it's recommended to allow them to also apply to frenzy.Armor Skin, Chaotic Rage, Damage Reduction, Deathless Body, Devastating Critical, Dire Charge, Epic Endurance, Epic Prowess, Epic Speed, Epic Toughness, Fast Healing, Incite Rage, Legendary Climber, Legendary Leaper, Legendary Rider, Legendary Tracker, Legendary Wrestler, Mighty Frenzy, Mindless Fury, Overwhelming Critical, Ruinous Rage, Terrifying Rage, Thundering Rage.
Deathless Body [Epic]
Prerequisite: Deathless Frenzy, con 25
Benefit: You are much harder to kill. Lower the amount of damage needed to kill you by 40 points. For example, taking this feat means that you do not die until you reach -50 hit points, rather than -10 hit points. All other rules for being reduced to below zero hit points continue to apply.
Special: You may select this feat more than once. Its benefits stack.
Mighty Frenzy [Epic]
Prerequisite: Greater Frenzy, str 21
Benefit: Your bonus to strength during a frenzy increases to +14 from +10.
Mindless Fury [Epic]
Prerequisite: Greater Frenzy, Iron Will
Benefit: While in a frenzy your mind can only perceive violence and rage. As a result of this, you are immune to mind-affecting effects, save for those that directly lead to more violence. You would be immune to calm emotions or charm person, but not to a suggestion to kill a nearby goblin. You are still entitled to any saving throw as normal for abilities that still affect you.

Unstoppable (Ex)
At 1st level, the legendary dreadnought can concentrate his or her power, gaining a +20 bonus on his Strength check to break or burst a door or item twice per day, plus two additional times per day every five levels thereafter. As a special use of this ability, the legendary dreadnought can attempt to break a wall of force (Strength DC 32, and the character applies his or her unstoppable bonus to this check as well). Alternatively, the legendary dreadnought can apply the +20 bonus to a single attack roll.
Unmovable (Ex)
At 2nd level, the legendary dreadnought can concentrate his or her power, making him or herself unmovable twice per day, plus two additional times per day every five levels thereafter. This power grants the character a +20 bonus on any one of the following:
A CMD check made to avoid being grabbed with the improved grab ability.
A CMD check to avoid the effects of a bull rush, trip attempt, or similar effect.
A CMD check against any effect that would move the character either physically or magically.
Any one saving throw. If an effect that would move the character either physically or magically does not normally allow a saving throw, the legendary dreadnought can use this ability to gain a Will saving throw. He or she still gains the +20 bonus on the saving throw in such a case.
Shrug off Punishment (Ex)
The legendary dreadnought gains a +2 bonus to Constitution at 3rd level and +2 more every five levels thereafter.
Thick Skinned (Ex)
At 4th level, the legendary dreadnought gains damage reduction 5/-. This does not stack with damage reduction granted by magic items or nonpermanent magical effects, but it does stack with any damage reduction granted by permanent magical effects, class features, the Damage Reduction feat, and this ability itself. The damage reduction improves by 5 points every five levels thereafter.
Bonus Feats
A legendary dreadnaught gains an epic bonus feat at level 5 and every 5 levels thereafter.

Force Breaker [Epic]
Prerequisite: Unstoppable 2/day, str 25
Benefit: You can break walls of force and similar force effects without using unstoppable. The DC to do so remains the same, though you do not gain unstoppable's +20 bonus when doing so. In addition, a successful melee attack against a creature with a force effect granting it a bonus to armor class automatically ends the effect.
Combining Damage Reductions
Note: These rules are meant for high to epic level games where damage reduction is common. These characters can deal with damage reduction in myriad ways. As such, these rules are best used with caution in low level games.
When a creature already possesses permanent damage reduction and gains a new source of damage reduction, the two types combine. This follows the rules outlined below. Note that certain types of permanent damage reduction, such as taking the Damage Reduction epic feat more than once, stack with themselves. In those cases these rules aren't used.
* Damage reduction/- never combines. Unlike other types of damage reduction, it is possible to have this with another type of damage reduction. If damage reduction/- is the highest damage reduction a creature possesses, the other type of damage reduction is lost.
* The higher number is used. A creature with damage reduction 5/cold iron and damage reduction 10/magic takes the ten and discards the five.
* A creature's damage reduction can comprise of several conditions. Conditions stack with the following exceptions. A creature may only have one material (such as silver or cold iron) in its damage reduction. When there is a choice of more than one material, choose whichever fits the current creature better. A creature may only have one damage type (such as piercing, slashing or bludgeoning) in its damage reduction. A creature may not have conflicting alignment types in its damage reduction (such as good and evil or anarchic and axiomatic), choose whichever fits the creature best. Damage reduction/magic is superseded and replaced by damage reduction/epic.
* Creatures with unique types of damage reduction do not lose them, even when the rules above would dictate otherwise. For instance, a creature with damage reduction of cold iron and silver would maintain both of those.
* In otherwise unusual cases, use your best judgment.
Examples:
Damage reduction 5/cold iron + damage reduction 10/magic = damage reduction 10/cold iron and magic
Damage reduction 15/magic and evil + damage reduction 15/epic = damage reduction 15/epic and evil
Damage reduction 3/- + damage reduction 15/anarchic and cold iron = damage reduction 15/anarchic and cold iron AND damage reduction 3/-
Damage reduction 5/slashing + damage reduction 10/silver + damage reduction 5/axiomatic = damage reduction 10/axiomatic, silver and slashing.

Note: For the sake of this class, a dagger can also mean any dagger-like weapon, such as a punching dagger or kukri. Other weapons may qualify at the DM's discretion.
Dagger Aptitude (Ex)
You have focused all of your weapon training towards daggers and as a result you may gain great skill with these specific weapons.
You may treat levels in invisible blade as if they were fighter levels for the purpose of qualifying for feats requiring a minimum number of fighter levels (such as Weapon Specialization), but only for daggers.
You may also apply feats that apply to daggers to any weapon that also counts as a dagger for this class. For example, Weapon Focus (Dagger) would also apply to kukris.
Dagger Sneak Attack (Ex)
You gain the sneak attack ability (see the description of the rogue class for more details) if you do not already have it, but the extra damage only applies to sneak attacks made with a dagger.
This extra damage is 1d6 at the 1st level, and it increases by 1d6 every two invisible blade levels thereafter.
Inspiration
At 2nd level and every four invisible blade levels thereafter, you gain a point of inspiration. Refer to the factotum class ability of the same name for how this ability works.
Ricochet Daggers (Ex)
You understand the intricacies of daggers so well that not only can you hurl any dagger as if it was meant to be thrown, but the weapon will ricochet right back into your hands after the attack has completed.
At 2nd level, you may spend 1 inspiration point to treat your weapons as if they have the Returning and Throwing magical weapon special properties until the start of your next turn. You may use this ability as a free action on your turn.
You may only use Ricochet Daggers when wielding daggers.
Uncanny Feint (Ex)
At 3rd level, you gain the ability to feint in combat as a move action instead of a standard action. If you also have the Improved Feint feat, you may instead feint in combat as a swift action.
You may only use Uncanny Feint when wielding daggers.
Bleeding Wound (Ex)
At 4th level, when you make a successful dagger sneak attack you may choose to sacrifice 1d6 points of dagger sneak attack damage to deal a bleeding wound. Such an attack deals damage as normal in the round when the attack hits. Thereafter, the wound bleeds for 1 point of damage per round on the wounded target's turn. Multiple wounds result in cumulative bleeding loss.
The bleeding can only be stopped by a DC 15 Heal check or the application of any healing spell or ability. Creatures immune to sneak attack damage are immune to bleeding wounds as well.
Unfettered Defense (Ex)
Beginning at 5th level, you gain your Intelligence bonus as a bonus to Armor Class. If you are caught flat-footed or are otherwise denied the Dexterity modifier to Armor Class, you also lose this bonus.
Unfettered Defense only functions when wielding daggers and wearing no armor.
Improved Ricochet (Ex)
Beginning at 6th level, any time you make a ranged attack with a thrown dagger, the weapon immediately returns to you and you can catch it as a free action (as opposed to returning to you at beginning of your next turn). This ability allows you to make a full attack entirely with thrown weapon attacks, or with a mix of thrown and melee attacks.
In addition, whenever you make an attack with a thrown dagger from a threatened square, you do not provoke attacks of opportunity.
Fearless (Ex)
Beginning at 7th level, your confidence in your abilities makes it difficult to influence you. Add a +4 bonus to will saves against fear and compulsion effects when wielding daggers.
Master of Skullduggery (Ex)
Beginning at 8th level, you gain your Intelligence bonus as a modifier on Bluff, Intimidate, Sense Motive and Sleigh of Hand skill checks. Additionally, you may take 10 on these skill checks, even if stress and distractions would normally prevent you from doing so.
Storm of Flying Daggers (Ex)
At 10th level, your mastery over daggers has become unparalleled. As a full round action, you may spend three inspiration points to hurl one or more daggers and attack as many targets as you wish that are within 50 feet of you (as thrown weapons have a maximum range of five range increments).
You must make a ranged attack at your highest attack bonus against each target, calculating range and cover penalties from your position in the battlefield. If you are using multiple weapons with different enchantments, you must state which weapon is being used against which target before attacking.
You may only target each individual foe once per use of this ability.
This class is tied to the group described in this post. (http://www.soulriders.net/forum/index.php/topic,103088.msg1052271.html#msg1052271) It's a more hands on take for the Fleshknowers, but sometimes you need that sort of approach. Anyway, it's a quirky little class that does its own thing rather than building on another class. It feels like something a Races of Stone based PC would take.Acolyte of the Fleshknowers

Elemental Mind (Ex)
An acolyte of the fleshknowers is possessed by an earth elemental, who learns from the acolyte and in turn shares his own wisdom with him. The acolyte gains a bonus equal to his acolyte of the fleshknowers level to Concentration checks, as well to as Appraise, Craft and Profession checks related to gems, metals, stone or anything that comes from the earth. The acolyte also gains this bonus to Use Magic Device checks when the check would use an item that would invoke a spell or similar ability with the earth descriptor; the acolyte may make this check untrained.
This power comes at a price. The elemental within the acolyte studies the acolyte's knowledge of mortal affairs. This slowly drains the acolyte's knowledge while the knowledge of the elemental warps the acolyte's mindset. The acolyte suffers a penalty equal to his acolyte of the fleshknowers level to all Charisma based skill checks (except for Use Magic Device checks as described above). This penalty does not apply when dealing with creatures with the earth subtype or natives from Earth.
Skin of Earth (Ex)
At 1st level and every 2 levels thereafter, the skin of the acolyte's becomes more like stone. This increases the natural armor bonus of the creature by 1. This stacks with any existing natural armor bonus the acolyte has.
Elemental Eyes (Ex)
At 2nd level, the acolyte's vision improves so that he can see in darkness. He gains darkvision 60ft. If he already has darkvision, increase the range of that darkvision by 60ft instead.
Manifest Elemental (Sp)
The acolyte of the fleshknowers can manifest the elemental that possesses it. As a standard action, the acolyte can have a large earth elemental appear within 30ft. The elemental is friendly to the acolyte and fights to the best of its ability. The elemental can be manifested once per day and for a number of rounds equal to the acolyte's hit dice. If reduced to zero hit points or otherwise slain, the elemental cannot be manifested for 24 hours. This is the equivalent of a 6th level spell.
At 8th level, the acolyte can instead manifest a huge earth elemental. This is the equivalent of a 7th level spell.
Push (Ex)
At 4th level, the acolyte gains improved bull rush as a bonus feat. If he already has this feat, he may select another feat that he qualifies for.
Mettle (Ex)
Once the acolyte reaches 5th level, if he makes a successful Fortitude or Will save that would normally reduce (rather than negate) a spell's effect, he suffers no effect from the spell at all. Only those spells with a saving throw entry of "Will partial," "Fortitude half," or similar entries can be negated through this ability.
Damage Reduction (Ex)
At 6th level, the acolyte's body becomes even more like an earth elemental's. They gain damage reduction 2/-. This rises to 4/- at level 9.
Earth's Vitality (Ex)
At 7th level, so long as the acolyte is in contact with the ground, he does not need to breathe.
Earth Mastery (Ex)
The acolyte gains a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls if both he and his target are on the ground. If his target is air or waterborne, he suffers a -4 penalty to attack and damage rolls instead.
Earth Glide (Ex)
A master acolyte of the fleshknowers can go through dirt or stone as easily as a fish swims through water. This is identical to an earth elemental's earth glide ability.
Nothing fancy here. Earth elementals are direct and unimaginative, and thus so are the benefits here.Epic Acolyte of the Fleshknowers

New Demiplane: SylicaIt is a realm of paradise.
It is where wounds are a passing memory.
It it where angels tread.
Sylica is a finite demiplane of many sections, mimicking various good aligned planes. The high mountains and fjords of Ysgard can be found next to the cities of Brightwater and Dweomerheart, while the planes of Elysium are a few miles away, with sylvan forests around the next bend in the road. Each realm is represented in it's way, all merging together to form a complete world of paradise.
More than anything else, Sylica is a place of glory and peace.
Sylica Traits- Normal gravity
- Normal time
- Finite size: Sylica is a circular realm about 300 miles in diameter. It's edges are a sea of brilliant light that block all attempts to go further. As Alicia and Syala grow into their divine power, the demiplane will likely increase in size as they perfect their divine realm.
- Divinely morphic : Certain powerful creatures (Alicia and Syala) can alter Sylica with a thought. Normal creatures find Sylica as easy to alter as the Prime Material Plane.
- No elemental traits
- Minor positive dominant: Pain and suffering is a passing memory in Sylica. All creatures within the demiplane gain fast healing 2.
- Mildly good aligned: Evil creatures in Sylica suffer a -2 penalty to all Charisma based checks.
- Enhanced magic: Spells and spell-like abilities from the healing subschool are cast at +1 caster level. Spells or spell-like abilities with the good descriptor gain the same benefit. This bonuses rises to +3 total for a spell or spell-like from the healing subschool with the good descriptor.
- Impeded magic: Spells and spell-like abilities from necromancy school are cast at -1 caster level. Spells or spell-like abilities with the evil descriptor suffer the same penalty. This penalty rises to -3 total for a necromantic spell with the evil descriptor.
Sylica LinksSylica borders Ysgard as an attached demiplane. The only entrance is a single, semi hidden portal on Ysgard. At the sea of light at the edges of Sylica, it is possible to plane shift out, but not in.
Sylica InhabitantsSylica is dominated by celestial wild animals of all types, as the realm's development is largely centered on Mercia. Celestials of all types can be found, as well as mortals exploring the realm. There is a smattering of odder creatures yet, including a rather large colony of phase spiders. These spiders were aided and rescued by Alicia and Syala, an unlikely addition to the realm that has borne fruit. Phase spiders since born in Sylica have the celestial creature template and are more pleasing to look at than a typical spider.
Movement and CombatMovement on Sylica is the same as on the Prime Material Plane, as is combat. The only exception is that the realm's fast healing can prolong battles.
Features of SylicaMercia
The only true city in Sylica, Mercia is an open city of wide roads and expansive plazas, most structures lying low to the ground with the exception of the occasional tower built either for defense or aesthetic. A wide and fast river cuts through the middle of the city, spanned by several arcing bridges - boat races are a common pastime for the inhabitants, and they're often joined by celestial dolphins who gambol playfully in the waters and are quick to come to the aid of any who fall overboard. The palace of Liberton lies near the East bank of the river, set apart from its surroundings by a large courtyard where parades and celebrations are often held. Most of Alicia and Syala's court reside here, and they are generally quite available to petitioners.
Opal Mountain
The tallest mountain in Sylica, this striking peak stabs into the sky almost like a needle, it's summit perpetually wreathed in opalescent magical fire that gives it it's name. Many archons have made their homes here since moving to Sylica, dividing the peak into layers that imitate the holy mountain of Celestia. Antenora, the Opal Angel of Redemption holds dominion over the summit, safeguarding newly arrived souls before they fall down onto the surrounding landscape like shooting stars upon their rebirth.
Wychwood
The largest forest in Sylica, covering several thousand square miles, this trackless forest is mostly uninhabited except by celestial wildlife. A single elder treant has made his home deep in the forest, enjoying the chance for silent contemplation in this new realm after tiring of his more populated forest in Elysium. A band of enterprising fairies have set themselves to the task of exploring and mapping the forest, but careful observers note their maps change constantly - whether this is due to the whimsical nature of the explorers or of the forest's shifting nature is left unanswered.
Felic Gate
At present the only portal to and from Sylica, this sixty foot wide gateway is set into the sheer cliff-face of an upthrust mountain, surrounded by a gently curved valley that slopes downwards, framing a view of Mercia in the near distance and the surrounding plains and rivers, with the Opal Mountain clearly visible on the horizon. Befitting Sylica's welcoming nature, the valley is well traveled with a clearly laid out path guiding those coming or going from the plane from Mercia to the Gate itself. However, it is also well defended against attack, with a Grandchild of Jormugandr making his lair here and the area frequently patrolled by the Felis Knights, a group primarily made up of bralani eladrin who ride celestial tigers - individuals can generally pass unopposed unless they appear clearly hostile, but larger groups can expect to be approached by the guardians to determine their intentions.
Notable People of SylicaAlicia Reynes: Queen (http://www.soulriders.net/forum/index.php/topic,103072.msg1054636.html#msg1054636)
Alicia is the unmistakable ruler of Sylica. She has the final say in all that transpires there and maintains an active presence to see to those who dwell under her rule. She is a ruler unafraid to involve herself and strives to improve both Sylica and those that follow her. As her divine realm is new, she seeks to bolster it whenever possible. Her dedication has lead to her being a respected queen.
Syala: Queen-Consort (http://www.soulriders.net/forum/index.php/topic,103072.msg1054098.html#msg1054098)
In contrast to Alicia, Syala prefers to let Alicia take the spotlight. She is the nurturing mother to Alicia's role of commanding father. When she is not away with Alicia, she focuses her attention on Sylica's defenses. Her long experience as guardian of the Tree of Idun gives her an appreciation for creatively vicious defenses. This appreciation extends far, as she is quite the capable warrior in spite of her more passive role.
Antenora: Warden of the Opal Mountain (http://www.soulriders.net/forum/index.php/topic,103072.msg1053558.html#msg1053558)
Antenora is Alicia's most stalwart ally and serves as a strong symbol of the potential in all beings. Aside from her guardianship of the Opal Mountain, she acts as Alicia's personal bodyguard. She possesses the right abilities and tenacity to protect Alicia and thwart those would do her harm. She is a stern crusader who does not hesitate to vanquish evil - or to redeem it.
Latha: Marshall of the Diamond Armory (http://www.soulriders.net/forum/index.php/topic,103072.msg1054434.html#msg1054434)
Latha serves as Sylica's armsmaster. Her role is to ensure that all who wish to serve Sylica are properly equipped for the battles ahead. Magical artisans from Dweomerheart and smiths from across the Heavens report to her. In turn she directs their efforts to craft the weapons and armor needed for Sylica's armies.
Marielle: Mistress of Liberton (http://www.soulriders.net/forum/index.php/topic,103072.msg1054870.html#msg1054870)
As Alicia's familiar and proxy, Marie is uniquely placed to know the heart of Sylica's ruler. She uses this insight to efficiently run the royal palace and organize appointments, feast and parties as befits her whims. She is assisted by a small host of fairies and lantern archons who carry out her commands with a mixture of playfulness and diligence, even when Marie herself is dealing with business outside of Liberton.
Naeys: Keeper of the Amethyst Library
Naeys serves as an emissary of Mystra and adviser to Queen Alicia, a bridge between Alicia's new duties and her former service under the Mother of All Magic. He is recognized as the premiere archmage and lorekeeper in Sylica and oversees those departments. He rarely acts directly, as he prefers to use a soft touch and see to his own magical research in his free time, but his wisdom is respected by all when given.
Strength of Light: General of the Amber Army
While Sylica's army marches and fights at Alicia's command, and she is ever one to lead from the front, Strength of Light maintains the training and disposition of her forces. He frequently arranges mass mock battles across Sylica's plains, combined with the constant development of new tactics and strategies. He forges the various disparate new arrivals to the realm into a unified fighting force.

Sylica MiscellaneaNew Optional Material Components
Component | Price |
Sunlight Diamond | 500 gp |
Sylican Opal | 300 gp |
Unbreakable Amber | 400 gp |
Sunlight Diamond
These small diamonds grow like plants on the surface of Sylica, in places where the light of the sun is particularly strong. When used with a daylight spell, the light generated by the spell counts as true daylight for the sake of creatures that are negatively affected by it.
Sylican Opal
This is an opal from the Opal Mountain of Sylica. When used with an atonement, break enchantment, dispel evil or similar spell to remove evil or redeem a creature, it grants a +2 bonus to the caster level of the spell.
Unbreakable Amber
This amber comes from trees deep in the Wychwood. When used with an abjuration spell (as well as mage armor, greater mage armor and other spells of that line), the spell grants a +1 sacred bonus to armor class in addition to whatever other defenses it offers. The spell also gains the good descriptor.
New Ravage
Poison | Type | Craft DC | Initial Damage | Secondary Damage | Price |
Sylican Phase Spider Venom | Injury DC 17 | 22 | 1d8 Con | 1d8 Con | 1,000 gp |
Sylican Phase Spider Venom
This venom comes from celestial phase spiders that reside in Sylica. It is a transparent and ghostly liquid that is tasteless, scentless and indistinguishable from water. A weapon coated in this poison is treated as having the ghost touch special property, this ends once the ravage has been used. This is a side-effect of the ethereal nature of phase spiders.
New Demiplane: The CauldronIt is where water and fire are born into steam.
It is where heat burns eternal within the Silver Sea.
It is where rivers of gold are whispered to flow.
The Cauldron is a finite demiplane modeled after a vast volcano. It's slopes rise high, into great terraced areas within, the entire Cauldron criss-crossed with caves.
Cauldron Traits- No gravity: Movement in The Cauldron is as per the Astral Plane.
- Normal time
- Finite size: The Cauldron is about 50 miles in diameter. The edges lead back into the Astral Plane. As Seira is a burgeoning power, The Cauldron's size may change as she sees fit.
- Divinely morphic : Certain powerful creatures (Seira) can alter The Cauldron with a thought. Normal creatures find The Cauldron as easy to alter as the Prime Material Plane.
- Minorly fire and water dominant: The Cauldron was designed to be fire dominant by the hand of Imix. Seira's rulership of The Cauldron has introduced water to the demplane, which has lessened this to a pervasive heat that can be tolerated by creatures, rather than one that burns most creatures.
- Enhanced magic: Spells and spell-like abilities with the fire or water descriptors are cast at +1 caster level.
- Impeded magic: Spells and spell-like abilities with the cold descriptor are cast at -1 caster level. As Seira's studies of elemental harmony advance, it is likely both the enhanced and impeded magic traits of The Cauldron will further change.
The Cauldron LinksThe Cauldron is linked with the Astral Plane. Creatures flying from The Cauldron can pass into the Astral. Creatures who reach The Cauldron from the Astral can enter as well.
The Cauldron InhabitantsThe Cauldron is dominated by elementals of all types. Seira has recruited elementals from the various elemental planes, para-elemental planes and quasi-elemental planes, as well as from pacts with various archomentals of elemental good. Celestials and Seira's servants can also be found here, as well as a contingent of travelers and traders at all time.
Movement and CombatCombat is similar to combat on the Astral Plane, with three dimensional combat and flight playing a large role. Unlike the Astral Plane, time flows and wounds heal naturally.
Features of The CauldronSteam's Reach
The outer walls of The Cauldron are dotted with hidden caves, fortified into defensive zones. Illusions and favorable terrain give defenders a defensive advantage. These cave are death traps of oozes, animated objects and elementals. These defenses are meant to stymie an indirect attack around The Cauldron's main defenses in the volcano's maw. These caves are also full of veins of gold and even rivers of liquid gold superheated by The Cauldron's natural affinity for fire, a fact made to tempt a greedy invader right into the teeth of Seira's defenses.
Rising Heat
The highest terraces of The Cauldron are dedicated to defense. Animated statues of adult red dragons are about and ready to come to life to defend the realm. The first ten terraces are heavily fortified. A garrison of elementals, Seira's clerics and allied forces constantly mans them, serving as border guards in times of peace and a potent defense in times of war. True seeing and magic circles against evil are used to ensure that fiendish trickery does not gain them entry to The Cauldron.
The Market
The middle section of The Cauldron's terraces are dedicated to trade and visitors. It is an ensnaring pattern of walkways and labyrinthine passages, all leavened by the fact that flight is normal here. Gold banners adorn the market area, Waukeen's portraits mingling with shields bearing the image of a majestic golden dragon. Seira's efforts and connections to Brightwater (for Seira followed Waukeen in her mortal life) ensure that the marketplace is full of goods from across the planes, as well as The Cauldron's own offerings.
Temple of the Golden Flame
The second to last terrace holds the Temple of the Golden Flame. An immense phantom flame burns eternal at its center, as Seira wills it, encouraging all those who pass through it as though Seira had shared a fragment of her power directly with them. It harms none, even fiends, though fiends would experience a profound emptiness should they attempt to defile these sacred grounds. The temple is just above the final terrace, which is dominated by a massive lake of lava. This lake is hallowed and in spite of the heat it sheds, everything around is bearable even to those without protection against fire.
Innocence
Seira's abode rests besides the lake of lava in the final terrace. It is a gingerbread palace of whimsy and wonder, where Seira and Amaryl reside. It houses essential functions and receptions for important guests. The design of the palace is not tied to normal physics and it often goes on wondrous, impossible designs.
Notable People of The CauldronSeira Aryn: The Dragon Princess (http://www.soulriders.net/forum/index.php/topic,103072.msg1054616.html#msg1054616)
Seira is the ruler of The Cauldron and its founder. She is forever busy seeing to The Cauldron and its continued growth. She is an optimistic bundle of energy combined with draconic vigor. She is not weighed down by her new duties and instead embraces them. She is known as a passionate leader who is not afraid to buck against normal trends to do what she feels is right.
Amaryl Gaial: Princess-Consort (http://www.soulriders.net/forum/index.php/topic,103072.msg1054067.html#msg1054067)
Amaryl is Seira's lover and partner. She aids Seira as she continues to grow into her own role and divinity. She is a rising quasi-power, following the path Seira forged decades ago. She organizes things for Seira and ensures The Cauldron's affairs flow smoothly. She runs a more even keel than Seira, but tends to defer to her.
Donald Smurth (http://www.soulriders.net/forum/index.php/topic,103072.msg1054112.html#msg1054112)
The Cauldron gathers a great deal of intelligence about all the planes. It falls to Donald to manage this as well as The Cauldron's various espionage efforts. While Donald is something of a fool and has a knack at saying the wrong thing at the wring time, he is strikingly competent in this field. Notably, Donald eschews any sort of title nor does he seem to care overmuch about propriety.
Lady Sanzha: Mistress of the Elements (http://www.soulriders.net/forum/index.php/topic,103072.msg1054934.html#msg1054934)
Lady Sanzha is a former Padisha of the Marid who now serves Seira. She is a calm and confident woman who oversees much of The Cauldron's research into elemental harmony. Her role has her deal with elemental magic most of the time, though she is a capable guide and hostess when circumstances require, for her previous experience as Padisha trained her well in diplomacy and people skills.
Oraga, Fallen
A fallen angel who was reached by Seira and as a result of a long, complicated situation, was put into the body of a mortal elf female. Since then, Oraga sees to the defenses of The Cauldron and savagely trains those that would defend it. While he is not fully fallen anymore, Oraga does not mind the title of such.

The Cauldron MiscellaneaNew Alchemical Items
Substance | Craft (Alchemy) DC | Cost |
Liquid Fire Bomb | 30 | 500 gp |
Sticky Bomb | 35 | 850 gp |
Liquid Fire Bomb
This bomb is composed of fire forced into the form of liquid water, encased in a glass sphere. This combination is inherently unstable and explodes once exposed to air. This bomb can be throw up to 100ft and is a special splash weapon, so it requires a ranged touch attack roll to hit a target. It deals 5d6 fire damage to the target and 2d6 fire damage as splash damage to all creatures within 10ft of the target.
Sticky Bomb
This is identical to a liquid fire bomb, except that a bit of earth energy has been added to the mix. This adds stickiness to the compound. Creatures damaged by a sticky bomb find themselves on fire and take an additional 2d6 points of fire damage per round for 1d4+1 rounds. A creature set on fire can take a full round action to extinguish the flames, this requires a successful DC 20 Reflex save. Immersion in water or 10 or more points of cold damage automatically extinguish the flames.
New Special Material
Cauldron Steel
This rare iron is forged in The Cauldron, heated by elemental fire, cooled with elemental water, shaped with elemental air and hardened with the spirit of elemental earth. Weapons and armor made of cauldron steel are 25% heavier than normal steel, but have a hardness 5 points higher than steel. Further, weapons made of this material count as cold iron and retain some elemental power. They deal one point each of acid, cold, electricity and fire damage on each hit. Armor made of cauldron steel grans resistance to acid, cold, electricity and fire 3.
Cauldron steel equipment costs the same as adamantine equipment.
New Weapon and Armor Special Abilities
Elemental Harmony
This special weapon ability can only be applied to a weapon made of cauldron steel and that has a special property that deals energy damage (such as flaming, frost, shock and so forth). Whenever a weapon enchanted with this ability deals energy damage, all of the energy damage becomes whichever type is most beneficial to the wielder. For example, a creature immune to acid and cold, with resistance to electricity 30 and vulnerability to fire would take all fire damage from the weapon's energy damage.
Moderate transmutation; CL 12th; Craft Magic Arms and Armor; Price +2 bonus.
Alternate Class Feature: Divine Leader
Some marshals specialize in rallying the faithful, just like a cleric or paladin.
Class: Marshal
Level: 4th
Special Requirement: You must worship a deity or power.
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain grant move action.
Benefit: You gain true believer as a bonus feat. When you wear or wield a relic of your deity, your ability to inspire the faithful rises. The bonuses your auras grant rise by 2 for followers of your deity. This applies to both your major and minor auras.
Alternate Class Feature: Grant Rage
Most marshals focus on precision, command and control. However, a rare few prefer to inspire sheer fury.
Class: Marshal
Level: 4th
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain grant move action.
Benefit: You can inspire overwhelming fury in your allies. Once per day as a standard action, the marshal may cause all willing allies within 30ft to fall into a rage. This is identical to a rage spell, except that it lasts for a number of rounds equal to the marshal's Charisma modifier (minimum 1) and does not require the marshal to concentrate on the effect.
When you would gain another daily use of grant move action, you instead gain another daily use of grant rage.
Alternate Class Feature: Rally Attack
A marshal may specialize in sharp and sudden strikes rather than that strategic maneuverability.
Class: Marshal
Level: 4th
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain grant move action.
Benefit: You can provoke a sudden rally of attacks in your allies. Once per day as a standard action, the marshal can allow all allies within 30ft to immediately make a single melee or ranged attack (but not a spell or spell-like ability). This counts as a creature's attack of opportunity for the round, so a creature cannot make an extra attack if they have already made their maximum number of attacks of opportunity in a round. The marshal is not affected by his own use of rally attack.
When you would gain another daily use of grant move action, you instead gain another daily use of rally attack.
This class was a design experiment. It didn't work out, so it's not really canon. It's posted as a curiosity and for the sake of discussion.
The idea behind the class is interesting (at least to me), but on reflection it's overly meta and I don't think it works out. That happens sometimes, not every idea bears good fruit. By the way, the class didn't go past a first draft, some wording issues, balance and overall presentation may have issues. They won't get corrected.
Fundamentally, who wants to play a class about waiting around? I suppose it may have some passing merit as an NPC class, but not nearly enough.Patient Warrior

Patient Stance (Ex)
You are at your best when you delay or ready an action in combat. You gain a +2 bonus to armor class, saving throws, attack rolls and weapon damage rolls while you are delaying or while you have an action readied but not yet executed. This bonus ends at the start of your turn or when you take your readied action. Attacks of opportunity may be made without forfeiting these bonuses.
This bonus rises by 1 at level 3 and every 2 levels thereafter.
Offensive Gathering (Ex)
When you take no actions at all for a round, you take that chance to gather your internal energies. When you delay your actions until your next turn and thus take no actions at all in a round, you gain a +4 bonus to Strength. Any save DCs for attacks you make likewise gains a +4 bonus, this bonus stacks with the bonus to Strength for a total of +6 if the attack's save DC is Strength based.
This bonus lasts until the end of the encounter. You can benefit from this bonus only once per encounter. For the sake of the save DC boosting aspect of this ability, an attack is anything that would deal damage, inflict an unfavorable condition on your enemies or otherwise be considered a hostile action against them.
Bonus Hit Points (Ex)
The nature of a patient warrior is to wait. As a result of this, being able to survive as you wait is paramount. You gain bonus hit points equal to your patient warrior class level.
Perfect Chance (Ex)
Your bonus from patient stance now lasts until the end of your delayed turn or until just after you take your readied action. For this bonus to apply, at least one enemy has to have taken a turn while you delayed or had an action readied.
Slow (Sp)
Your control over the ebb and flow of combat and your own patience pays dividends, as you learn to control the speed of others in combat to better suit your own plans. You can cast slow as a spell-like ability. You may use this spell like ability a number of times per day equal to your level in this class. Additionally, you may use this in place of an attack of opportunity while you are delaying or readying an action. Using slow in this way does not provoke an attack of opportunity, and it still takes up one of your attacks of opportunity for the round as normal.
While you may use slow an attack of opportunity, it can still affect multiple targets as normal when used as such. One of the targets must be the creature that provoked the attack of opportunity.
Defensive Gathering (Ex)
When you gain the benefits of offensive gathering, you also gain a +4 bonus to Constitution and Dexterity. These bonuses follow all the rules for the Strength bonus of offensive gathering.
Delay Effect (Su)
You can control your own timing so well that you can even delay when something affects you. As an immediate action three times per day, you can cause any one instance of damage or condition to be delayed. You delay it for a number of rounds equal to your level in this class.
Imprisonment (Sp)
You can delay an opponent forever now. Once per day you can cast imprisonment as a spell like ability.
The Bleeding Temples
These gallant knights serve Empress Sulia as dashing, noble protectors. They exemplify Empress Sulia's dedication to noble martyrdom.
To take an bleeding temples substitution level, a character must worship Empress Sulia and be about to take his 2nd, 5th or 10th level of knight.

Class Skills
Bleeding Temples have the same class skills as a standard knight.
Skill Points per Level
2 + Intelligence modifier
2nd: Lose Shield Block, gain Offer Life
5th: Lose Vigilant Defender, gain Defensive Sacrifice
10th: Lose Bonus Feat, gain Jaela's Gambit
Offer Life (Su)
Knights who serve Empress Sulia learn to sacrifice themselves to save those in peril. As a standard action, the bleeding temple may touch a creature (a melee touch attack is required if the creature is unwilling) to heal 1d12 points of damage. The bleeding temple takes 3 points of damage when this ability is used. At 4th level and every 2 levels thereafter, the damage healed increases by 1d12 and the damage to the bleeding temple rises by 3. For example, an 8th level knight heals 4d12 points of damage and takes 12 points of damage to do so.
Offer life may be used a number of times per day equal to the bleeding temple's Constitution modifier. Bleeding temples cannot use this ability on themselves. Undead creatures take damage from this ability, just as they take damage from cure spells and the like.
The damage the bleeding temple takes from this ability manifests as a cut on their temple, hence the name of the order and substitution levels.
Defensive Sacrifice (Ex)
By offering themselves to the blade, bleeding temples can stop opponents from slipping past them. If an creature attempts to use the Tumble skill to slip through an adjacent square a bleeding temple threatens or a square the bleeding temple occupies, he can choose to stop them. They stop in the adjacent square and cannot advance further. If the creature attempted to pass through a square the bleeding temple occupied, they are forced back into the closest square adjacent to the bleeding temple.
Doing this puts the bleeding temple directly in harms way. This provokes an attack of opportunity from the creature stopped, as well as any other creatures that threaten the bleeding temple. The bleeding temple is flat footed against these attacks of opportunity.
Jaela's Gambit
A 10th level bleeding temple gains Jaela's Gambit as a bonus feat. If he already possesses this feat, he may choose another instead.
Alternate Class Feature: Eldath's Mercy
Rangers who follow Eldath can forsake traditional weapon mastery in exchange for skill in subduing foes without slaying them.
Class: Ranger
Deity: Eldath
Level: 2nd
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain combat style, improved combat style or combat style mastery.
Benefit: You gain subduing strike as a bonus feat. If you already have this feat, you may choose another that you qualify for.
At 6th level, you gain stunning fist as a bonus feat. Additionally, you may choose a single melee weapon (such as a scimitar, longsword, heavy mace and so on). You may use stunning fist with that weapon, but only when you deal nonlethal damage.
At 11th level, you may treat your ranger level as your monk level to determine daily uses of stunning fist. If you have levels in monk, your monk and ranger level stack to determine daily uses of stunning fist.

Ice Spear (Sp)
A cryokineticist gains the ability to fashion a 15-foot-long spear of ice from moisture in the air as a move action. She takes no damage from the icy weapon she creates, and if she releases her hold on it, the spear immediately dissipates. The spear deals 1d8 points of cold damage to a target within 15ft on a successful ranged touch attack. A cryokineticist can take weapon focus, weapon specialization and other feats related to a spear for the ice spear, so long as she otherwise meets the prerequisites. This spear remains in existence as long as the cyrokineticist holds it.
Cold Adaptation (Ex)
At 2nd level, a cryokineticist becomes resistant to cold, gaining a +4 bonus on all saving throws against cold and ice spells and effects. In addition, she gains resistance to cold 10.
Frozen Hand (Sp)
A cryokineticist of 2nd level or higher can activate this ability as a move action. Frost creeps up one of the cyrokineticist's hands all the way up to her wrist (but does her no harm). Her unarmed attacks with that hand are treated as armed. Such attacks deal an extra 2d6 points of cold damage.
Snowball (Sp)
Starting at 3rd level, as a standard action, a cryokineticist can launch a snowball at any target in line of sight within 60ft. This effect is treated as a ranged touch attack and deals 1d6 points of cold damage for each class level the cryokineticist has.
Frost Weapon (Sp)
At 4th level and higher, a cryokineticist can activate this ability as a move action. Ice that harms neither her nor the weapon engulfs one weapon she holds (which can be a projectile such as a stone, bullet, arrow, or bolt). The weapon deals an extra 2d6 points of cold damage on a successful hit. The weapon retains this effect for as long as the cryokineticist wields it.
Nimbus (Sp)
Beginning at 5th level, a cryokineticist can activate this ability as a move action. A torrent of snow that harms neither the cryokineticist nor her equipment engulfs her entire body. While she is surrounded by dancing snowflakes, the character's Charisma score increases by 4, she can make a melee touch attack for 2d6 points of cold damage, and she gains damage reduction 5/magic. If she is struck in melee, the attacker takes 2d6 points of cold damage. This ability lasts for up to 1 minute per cryokineticist level and is usable once per day.
Frostwalk (Su)
Beginning at 6th level, as a free action a cryokineticist can expend her magic to form icy bridges over any substance and even walk on air. She moves at her normal speed in all directions, including vertically, but cannot move more than double her speed in a round. A frostwalking cryokineticist leaves snowflake-shaped footprints in the air that disperse in 2 rounds, but her tread does not deal damage.
A cyrokineticist must pay 1 spell level per round spent traveling in this fashion. She may spend one spell or multiple lower level spells to pay this cost. She cannot move in this way longer than her available spells would allow her to.
Fear No Cold (Ex)
At 7th level, a cryokineticist becomes highly resistant to cold, gaining a +8 bonus on all saving throws against cold and ice spells and effects and also gaining resistance to cold 20.
Greater Frost Weapon (Sp)
At 8th level, when a cryokineticist activates her frozen hand ability or her frost weapon ability, her unarmed attack or weapon deals an extra 4d6 points of cold damage instead of 2d6. Touch attacks made while she uses the nimbus ability likewise deal 4d6 points of damage instead of 2d6.
Heat Death (Sp)
A cryokineticist who reaches 9th level can take a full round action to briefly lower the internal temperature of one living creature within 30ft to absolute zero. The target must succeed on a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 the cyrokineticist's hit dice + cyrokineticist's Cha modifier) or be paralyzed for 2d4 rounds. Even on a successful save, the target takes 6d8 points of cold damage.
Snowstorm (Sp)
At 10th level, a cryokineticist gains the ability to create a massive storm of snow and ice around herself as a standard action. The storm deals 15d6 points of cold damage in a 30ft radius emanating from herself, and moves with her when she does. Any creature or object caught in the storm can make a Reflex saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 the cyrokineticist's hit dice + cyrokineticist's Cha modifier) for half damage. The storm lasts for up to 1 round per cryokineticist level and is usable once per day.

Angelic Lore [Exalted]
Prerequisite: Skill Focus (Knowledge: Planes)
Benefit: You gain a +5 bonus on knowledge checks about evil outsiders and undead, as well as the lower planes. This bonus also applies to bardic knowledge, lore and similar class features.
Arch-Angel's Mystery (http://www.soulriders.net/forum/index.php/topic,103088.msg1052237.html#msg1052237) [Exalted] Second relevant link (http://www.soulriders.net/forum/index.php/topic,103088.msg1052588.html#msg1052588)
Prerequisite: Knowledge (Planes) 15 ranks, Words of Creation, int 17, cha 17
Benefit: You study the secret lessons of the 77+7 arch-angels of Elysium and learn how to hide yourself from detection. This allows you two ways to use the Words of Creation, ways pioneered by them as they sought to escape the notice of all.
Obscurity: You can hide yourself from the detections of others, creating an effect that shields you while allowing the glories of others to be humbly seen instead. This is identical to a nondetection spell with a caster level equal to your hit dice. Using the Words of Creation in this way deals 14d4 points of nonlethal damage to you.
Invisibility: You can create a cloak that turns aside the eyes of the wicked. This is equivalent to an invisibility spell, except that it only affects evil creatures. Using the Words of Creation in this way deals 7d4 points of nonlethal damage to you.

Exalted Healer [Exalted]
Prerequisite: Heal 10 ranks
Benefit: Creatures under long term care from you (by the heal skill) can heal vile damage as if it were normal damage. This requires complete rest. Additionally, creatures under your long term care can heal ability drain at the rate of one point per ability score per day of complete rest. This requires that you succeed on a DC 25 Heal check.
Exalted Protection [Exalted]
Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus on saves against spells and spell-like abilities with the evil descriptor, as well as the supernatural abilities of evil outsiders.
Exalted Weapon Mastery [Exalted]

Special: A fighter may select exalted weapon mastery as a fighter bonus feat.
Favored of Nature [Exalted]

Shining Example [Exalted]
Prerequisite: Sacred Vow
Benefit: You strive to be the best you can. You gain a +2 bonus on Charisma-based checks when you attempt to inspire, lead or instill hope in others. If you perform an act of good while attempting such a check (such as relieving a suffering enemy's pain while you try to negotiate with them), this bonus increases to +4 until the end of the encounter.
This is meant to be an alignment, fluff and even gender/race agnostic take on a temptress. These things exist in D&D already, but tend to be tied to particular patrons who have influence on it. There's no unaffiliated take on this out there, so this seeks to remedy it. It also doesn't touch on more sexual takes on the temptress. You can read into it and add that if you please, but you're also free to keep it away from that if you like. This class is about tempting, not about sleeping around. It's an important distinction to remember, just like how succubi are more than just high Charisma floozies.
It's about manipulation, charming and influencing people. Despite the feminine name of the class, it's not restricted to women.Temptress

Temptation
A temptress is a master of manipulating, charming and controlling her foes. This ability is represented by temptation points. At the start of each encounter, a temptress gains temptation points equal to her temptress level + her Charisma modifier. They may be used to power the various abilities below. If a saving throw is allowed by any power, it equals 10 + 1/2 the temptress's hit dice + the temptress's Charisma modifier. If the temptation mimics a spell, the caster level is equal to the temptress's hit dice.
Honeyed Words (Su)
As a swift action, the temptress may spend 1 temptation point to gain a bonus to a Bluff, Diplomacy or Gather Information check equal to one half of her temptress level (round up, not down, to determine the total bonus). She may use this ability as often as she has temptation points to power it, but if she fails a Charisma based skill check against a creature when using honeyed words, she suffers a -5 penalty to any further Charisma based skill checks against them for the rest of the encounter.
Charm (Sp)
As a standard action, the temptress may spend 2 temptation points to affect a creature as if by a charm monster spell. A creature that succeeds on the save is immune to further charm attempts from that temptress for the rest of the encounter.
Suggestion (Sp)
As a standard action, the temptress may spend 3 temptation points to affect a creature as if by a suggestion spell. A creature that has been successfully charmed by the temptress suffers a -2 penalty to the saving throw. A creature that succeeds on the save is immune to further suggestion attempts for the rest of the encounter.
Adjust Morality (Sp)
As a standard action, the temptress may spend 4 temptation points to affect a creature as if by a morality undone spell. Unlike a normal morality undone spell, the creature's alignment changes to that of the temptress, including the law/chaos axis. The alignment descriptor of the spell changes to match the alignment of the temptress. A creature that has been charmed or that is under a suggestion from the temptress suffers a -2 penalty to the saving throw (these stack to -4 if the creature is under both). A creature that succeeds on the save is immune to further adjust morality attempts for the rest of the encounter.
Domination (Sp)
As a standard action, the temptress may spend 5 temptation points to affect a creature as if by a dominate monster spell. A creature that has been charmed, under a suggestion from the temptress or has had its morality adjusted by the temptress suffers a -2 penalty to the saving throw (these stack, to a maximum of -6). A creature that succeeds on the save is immune to further domination attempts for the rest of the encounter.
Sneak Attack (Ex)
This is identical to the rogue ability of the same name. Sneak attack from this class and other classes stack.
Tempting Body (Ex)
A temptress is a master of using her looks to distract her foes. She may apply her Charisma modifier as a bonus to armor class.
Passionate Aura (Su)
Creatures the temptress manipulates enjoy the experience, so enthralled by her charms. When a creature affected by any of the temptress's temptations fights with her as an ally and is within 30ft of the temptress, they gain a +2 morale bonus to attack rolls, weapon damage rolls and saving throws.
Eternal Control (Ex)
A master temptress can enthrall a creature forever, caught in a web of manipulation that allows no escape. She must spend 1 hour with a creature already affected by her charm, adjust morality or domination ability, plying them with the sweetest words and promises. At the end of this, the creature is allowed a second save against the temptation(s) they are under. If they succeed, the temptations end. If they fail, the duration of the temptations becomes permanent.
A temptress can use this ability at will, but can only have up to two creatures affected at a time. If she affects a third with this, one of the other two (chosen at random) is released from the effect of the temptations they are under. A temptress can release a creature from eternal control as full round action. The temptress must be in the creature's presence to do so.
A creature is allowed only one save no matter how many temptations they are affected by. This save covers success or failure for all of the temptations they are under.

This prestige class is centered around a group of archon-blooded sorcerers. They study the mysteries of Celestia, focusing on Jovar and what they can glimpse of Chronias. They have built a temple dedicated to this research. Some are more paladins than sorcerers and others only dip a single level of paladin. The exact make up varies, but all are champions of good who seek to study the greatest mysteries of Celestia.
This class is designed for paladin/sorcerers. Ideal entry is sorc 4/paladin 1, though delaying it a level for divine grace isn't uncommon. If you can get smite evil from another source (celestial creature template, celestial domain), you can get a non-standard entry. If you do that, I presume you know what you're doing.Mage of the Illuminated Temple

Nimbus of Light
At 1st level, the mage of the illuminated temple learns to be covered with the light of Celestia. He gains nimbus of light as a bonus feat.
Glorious Spellcasting (Su)
The mage of the illuminated temple can infuse a tiny bit of the light of Chronias into chosen spells, making them far more potent. At 2nd level and every two levels thereafter, the mage of the illuminated heaven selects any one spell they know. This spell is forever changed when he casts it. The spell's effect is suffused with dazzling light, and spells that produce no visible effect instead cause a glow of light around the area or creature affected. Light generated by this spell sheds illumination equal to a torch and lasts for the duration of the spell plus one round thereafter.
A spell changed in this way gains the good and light descriptors. Evil creatures affected by the spell are dazzled by the light for seven rounds, a separate Fortitude save negates the dazzling. If the spell deals damage, half of the damage becomes divine damage, as if the spell was consecrated.
When the mage of the illuminated temple casts a spell affected by this ability, he can choose to expend a daily use of his smite evil ability. If he does so, he adds the normal bonus to hit from the smite attempt as a bonus to the DC of the spell and any caster level check to overcome spell resistance. In addition, evil creatures are instead blinded for seven rounds by the spell's light, rather than dazzled.
Smite Evil (Su)
At 3rd level and again at 8th level, the mage of the illuminated temple gains another daily use of his smite evil ability. This stacks with uses of smite evil from other classes.
Paladin's Spellcasting (Ex)
A mage of the illuminated temple peers deeply into the mysteries of Jovar, seeking to gleam secrets from the light of Chronias. This results in a great spiritual and magical cleansing, which spreads to his spellcasting. A mage of the illuminated temple gains access to paladin spellcasting. At 5th level he gains access to first and second level paladin spellcasting, and at 10th level he gains access to third and fourth level paladin spellcasting.
If the mage of the illuminated temple is a wizard or another prepared spellcaster, he can add spells from the paladin list to his spellbook. They are added to his spell list and treated as arcane spells.
If he a sorcerer or other spontaneous caster, he may select two spells from each paladin spell level he has gained access to. He gains those spells as bonus spells known. In addition, he can choose spells from the available levels of the paladin spell list when he gains new spells known. The paladin spells are added to his spell list and treated as arcane spells.
Glorious Smiting (Su)
The smites of the mage of the illuminated temple shine with the light of Chronias from 7th level and on. When he smites evil (but not when he expends a use of smite evil for glorious spellcasting) and successfully hits an evil creature, that creature must make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 your hit dice + your Charisma modifier) or be dazzled for seven rounds. In addition, one half of the total damage you deal with the smite is divine damage and thus not subject to damage reduction or energy resistance.
Holy Radiance
At 9th level, the mage of the illuminated temple gains holy radiance as a bonus feat.

Death's Metal (Bleakarum)
This black metal is ice cold to the touch and pitch black. It is incredibly dense and heavy, with a typical ingot of it weighing 3,000 pounds. This metal is in reality concentrated negative energy combined with rare metals into an alloy. It is technically known as bleakarum, though most that know of it call it death's metal. The origins of it are not clear, though it seems that only powers and deities with control over undead are able to create it. This is actually not true, a mistaken assumption based on the difficulty of successfully synthesizing death's metal. Bleakarum has four times the hardness of steel but the same hit points as steel.
A weapon made of death's metal deals 1d6 points of negative energy damage per round to living creatures that hold it, while undead creatures heal 1d6 points of damage instead. Such weapons deal an extra 3d6 points of negative energy damage per successful strike. On a critical hit, both the wielder and target instead take 6d6 points of negative energy damage (9d6 if the weapon's critical multiplier is x3, 12d6 if the weapon's critical multiplier is x4 and so forth). Finally, the weapon's critical hit multiplier increases by 1. Weapons made of death's metal instinctively seek to slay all living creatures, seemingly driven of their own volition to find the most devastating and lethal blows.
Armor made of death's metal deals 10d6 points of negative energy damage per round to the wearer, with undead creatures heal 10d6 points of damage instead. However, the wearer is immune to all negative energy damage (barring what the armor and any other weapons or armor made of bleakarum inflicts) and negative levels. Additionally, the armor's armor bonus applies to incorporeal touch attacks.
Weapons and armor made of death's metal weigh 8 times as much as normal. While heavy, the dense metal's weight lessens when the metal is worked further.
Weapons and armor not primarily composed of metal cannot be made with death's metal.
The exact price for a weapon or armor made of death's metal varies. The rarity of the material makes obtaining it difficult, as it is seldomly offered for sale. Nonetheless, it is approximately +50000 gold for a weapon and +100000 gold for armor.

Powers
At 21st level and every level thereafter, the epic psion's manifesting improves. His manifester level increases as normal. Further, once the epic psion obtains the Epic Manifesting feat, he gains powers of 10th level and higher. See the table above for his progression. Until he gains Epic Manifesting, he cannot select powers of 10th level or higher. He may select powers of 9th level or lower as normal.
Bonus Feats
An epic psion gains an epic bonus feat at level 23 and every 3 levels thereafter.

Automatic Metapsionics, Epic Crafting, Epic Expanded Knowledge, Epic Manifesting, Epic Overchannel, Epic Power Penetration, Epic Psionic Endowment, Epic Psionic Focus, Improved Combat Manifestation, Improved Metapsionics, Multiaction, Power Knowledge, Psicrystal Power
Automatic Metapsionics [Epic, Metapsionic]
Prerequisite: Four or more metapsionic feats
Benefit: Choose a non-epic metapsionic feat you possess. All of your 1st, 2nd and 3rd level powers are automatically affected by this metapsionic feat without using additional power points or expending your psionic focus.
Special: You may select this feat more than once. Each time you take this feat, you may either select a different metapsioinc feat you possess and apply it to your 1st, 2nd and 3rd level powers or apply it to the next three levels of powers of a metapsionic feat that you already possess this feat for. For example, a psion with automatic metapsionics (extend power) x2 would automatically extend all powers of 1st through 6th level.
Epic Crafting [Epic]
Prerequisite: Any two item creation feats.
Benefit: You can create items that exceed 200,000 gold or items that exceed the normal limits for non-epic equipment. You must still have the normal, non epic feat to create an item in the first place, such as Craft Wondrous Item, Craft Ring and so on.
Epic Overchannel [Epic, Psionic]
Prerequisite: Overchannel, int 19
Benefit: You may now increase your manifester level by four when manifesting a power. If you do, you take 7d8 points of damage.
Special: You can select this feat more than once. Each time you do, you can increase your manifester level by 1 more at the cost of 2d8 additional damage (+5 manifester level and 9d8 damage, +6 maniester level and 11d8 damage and so forth).
Epic vow of poverty. This was originally posted by one of the designers over on the WoTC boards and has been adapted for this campaign. The majority of the work here comes from that, this is just streamlining it to work for us.
Some of this (the ability score boosters in particular) may break down at higher levels. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.Epic Vow of Poverty [Epic, Exalted]

AC Bonus (Su)
An epic ascetic's exalted bonus to AC continues to increase by +1 for every 3 character levels beyond 18th (+11 at 21st level, +12 at 24th level, +13 at 27th level, and so forth).
Resistance (Ex)
An epic ascetic's resistance bonus to saving throws increases by +1 for every 4 character levels beyond 17th (+4 at 21st, +5 at 25th, +6 at 29th, and so forth).
Holy Wake (Ex)
Once he attains 22nd level, an epic ascetic character does not need to sleep and is immune to all natural and magical sleep effects. An epic ascetic spellcaster still requires eight hours of rest before he can replenish his spells, usually spending the time in a meditative trance.
Exalted Strike (Su)
An epic ascetic's exalted strike ability continues to increase as he gains levels. The enhancement bonus to attack and damage rolls increases by +1 for every 3 character levels beyond 20th. At 23rd level, any weapon the character wields effectively becomes a +6 weapon, and can overcome the damage reduction of a creature as though it were an epic weapon. At 26th level, the ascetic's attacks are considered to have been made with a silver or cold iron weapon, whichever would be more beneficial. At 32nd level, any weapon the character wields is considered to have the holy ability, dealing extra damage to evil creatures. At 41st level, any weapon the character wields is considered to have the holy power ability.
Ability Score Enhancement (Ex)
An epic ascetic's ability score enhancements continue to increase beyond 20th level. At 23rd level, his existing bonuses increase by +2 and he gains a +2 bonus to a fifth ability score. At 27th level, he gains a +2 bonus to those five scores and a +2 bonus to a sixth ability score. The bonus for each ability score then increases by +2 for every 4 character levels he achieves.
Damage Reduction (Su)
At 24th level, the epic ascetic's damage reduction improves to 10/epic and evil. For every 5 levels the ascetic gains beyond 24th, his damage reduction improves by 5 points (15/epic and evil at 29th, 20/epic and evil at 34th, etc.).
Deflection (Su)
An epic ascetic's deflection bonus to AC increases by +1 at 24th level, and every 6 levels thereafter.
Natural Armour (Ex)
An epic ascetic's natural armour bonus to AC increases by +1 for every 8 character levels beyond 16th (24th, 32nd, 40th, and so forth).
Holy Aura (Su)
An epic ascetic of 25th level and above is surrounded at all times by the effects of the holy aura spell. This aura provides all of the usual benefits of the spell to any good creature within 20 feet of the ascetic.
Energy Resistance (Ex)
At 28th level, an epic ascetic's energy resistance increases to 30. Beginning at 35th level, an epic ascetic chooses one energy type (acid, cold, electricity, fire or sonic). The epic ascetic is now immune to that energy type. An epic ascetic chooses another energy type for every 5 levels beyond 35th (40th, 45th, 50th and 55th).
Timeless Body (Ex)
Upon attaining 29th level, an epic ascetic no longer takes penalties to his ability scores for aging and cannot be magically aged. Any such penalties that he has already taken, however, remain in place. Bonuses still accrue, and the ascetic still dies of old age when his time is up.
Fast Healing (Ex)
Upon reaching 32nd level, an epic ascetic's regeneration ability improves. He gains the fast healing ability, healing an amount of damage per round equal to (ascetic's level -5)/5, rounded down.
Swiftness (Su)
Upon reaching 36th level, the epic ascetic's speed doubles (this does not stack with any magical or supernatural enhancements to speed) and he gains the evasion ability (as the monk class feature). He also gains a +20 competence bonus on Balance, Climb, Jump and Tumble checks. Three times per day, he can act as though under the effects of a haste spell for 20 rounds.
Tongues (Ex)
At 39th level, an epic ascetic can communicate with any creature, as though under the effects of a tongues spell.
Bonus Feats
An epic ascetic gains an epic bonus feat at level 23 and every 3 levels thereafter.
Armor Skin, Bonus Domain, Damage Reduction, Energy Resistance, Epic Toughness, Extended Life Span, Fast Healing, Great Ability, Great Smiting, Ignore Material Components, Improved Alignment-Based Casting (good), Improved Aura of Courage, Improved Spell Resistance, Music of the Gods, Penetrate Damage Reduction, Perfect Health, Spontaneous Domain Access, Widen Aura of Courage. An epic ascetic can also select any epic or non epic exalted feat.
Quick note: This one's barebones due to WotC's epic warlock going in a feat-based direction for new invocations and boosts. Any oddities can be written down to that. More feats for this will come.Epic Warlock

Advanced Tapestry (Su)
The grand weaver can add spells to an eldritch tapestry that lesser wizards cannot. At 1st level and every three levels thereafter, he increases the maximum level of spells he can cast into an eldritch tapestry by 1. The level of spell you can add to your tapestry cannot exceed the maximum level of spell you can cast.
Adaptable Tapestry (Su)
Grand weavers are noted for being able to learn to integrate unusual spells into their tapestry. At 2nd level and every three levels thereafter, he may select a spell that would not normally qualify for eldritch tapestry. He may now cast that spell into an eldritch tapestry. Spells with a range of personal and a target of you are not eligible unless you have the means to change the spell's range.
The DM may rule a spell chosen is not suitable for eldritch tapestry. In that case, the grand weaver must choose another.
Flexible Tapestry (Su)
At 5th level, the grand weaver gains a greater control over his eldritch tapestry. When a spell requires decision making on your part, you may make the choice separately for each member of the tapestry.
Swift Tapestry (Su)
An expert grand weaver can set up an eldritch tapestry faster than usual. At 7th level, it only takes 1 minute to create an eldritch tapestry.
Expanded Tapestry (Su)
At 10th level, a grand weaver's tapestry reaches even farther. Triple the final range of any spell cast through your eldritch tapestry. This is applied after enlarged tapestry's modifier to range is applied, as well as any other modifiers for range. For example, spell with a range of medium (100ft + 10ft/level) cast by a grand weaver with a caster level of 35 would have a base range of 450ft, which would be tripled to 1350ft when cast in the tapestry.
The benefits of this ability stack with enlarge spell and other metamagics that increase the range of a spell.

Extra Adaptable Tapestry [Epic]
Prerequisite: Adaptable Tapestry
Benefit: Choose two spells that you cannot normally add to your eldritch tapestry. You may now add them into your eldritch tapestry. This follows all the rules as described in adaptable tapestry, including that the DM may choose to rule that a spell is not suitable for eldritch tapestry.
Immediate Tapestry [Epic]
Prerequisite: Swift Tapestry
Benefit: It now only takes you 1 standard action to create an eldritch tapestry.
Improved Tapestry [Epic]
Prerequisite: Eldritch Tapestry
Benefit: Increase the maximum level of spells you can cast into your eldritch tapestry by 1. This stacks with the benefits of advanced tapestry. The level of spell you can add to your tapestry cannot exceed the maximum level of spell you can cast.
Special: You can select this feat more than once. Its benefits stack.
Monitor Tapestry [Epic]
Prerequisite: Advanced Tapestry
Benefit: You are aware of the condition of those in your eldritch tapestry. This is identical to a status spell, except that the duration lasts until the eldritch tapestry ends.
Planar Tapestry [Epic]
Prerequisite: Expanded Tapestry, Immediate Tapestry, Monitor Tapestry
Benefit: The range of spells cast through your eldritch tapestry is infinite. You can cast spells on those in your eldritch tapestry no matter the distance or normal range of the spell, so long as they are on the same plane as you.
Spiritual WoundsSpiritual wounds are the result of the presence of epic outsiders on the Prime Material Plane. The mortal world is unable to withstand this purity of spirit, and such encounters leave permanent marks on the world. These spiritual wounds cause varying effects, ranging from beneficial to baneful. No matter the type of the effect, the wound frays at the fabric of the Prime.
OverviewAs noted above, spiritual wounds are what happens when powerful outsiders come to the Prime. The mortal world is a world of souls encased in bodies of dirt, blood and flesh. Outsiders are beings of pure spirit, alignment and ethos. They are one body and soul united together in perfect and intense harmony. A world designed to hold mortals cannot withstand this and spiritual wounds are the inevitable result. It is akin to tossing powerful acid onto cloth, it is inevitable the cloth will be damaged and ultimately consumed.
Outsiders of all types can cause spiritual wounds. A celestial is no less alien to the Prime Material Plane than a demon. While the wounds they cause are likely to be less onerous than the ones fiends cause, they still weaken the world and bombard it with things mortals are not prepared to handle. Other creatures do not cause spiritual wounds, including elementals. Elementals with an alignment-based template, such as celestial creature (or the other equivalents) or the half-celestial (or again the other equivalents) may be able to cause spiritual wounds at the DM's discretion. If the elemental is able to, count it as one hit dice category lower than it actually is. Thus, an eligible elemental would need to have at least 26 hit dice to cause a spiritual wound and can never qualify for 40+ hit dice effects.
Creatures from the Far Realm do not use these rules. They cause specific maladies as explained in the creature's stat block. Creatures of the Beyond are translated into outsiders with the evil subtype by Creation, but this is merely Creation's attempt to interpret something alien to it. These damages these creatures cause are not limited to the Prime Material in any case.
Note that deities are not covered by these rules. Deities cause terribly powerful spiritual wounds, ones beyond the power of the wounds presented here. Deities that are not outsiders still cause spiritual wounds. For the sake of this, a deity is a creature with divine rank 1 or higher. A deity's wounds are always unique to the deity and fitting of what they represent. Divine avatars are not subject to causing spiritual wounds, no matter how many hit dice they have. Notably, one of the main purposes of avatars is to be able to interact safely with the prime. Likewise, divine proxies also do not cause spiritual wounds.
Finally, outsiders with the native subtype do not cause spiritual wounds. As they are not fully spiritual existences, they do not cause the same strain on the Prime Material.
RulesThere are four categories to determine the power of the spiritual wounds an outsider inflicts. These use the outsider's total hit dice to determine the power of the wound. These are 21 to 25 hit dice, 26 to 30 hit dice, 31 to 39 hit dice and 40 or more hit dice. Additionally, there are modifying factors that influence the power of a wound. See Table 1.1: Modifying Factors for Spritual Wounds, below. Increase or decrease the severity of the wound as noted in the modifying factor, to a minimum of no wound caused. If a wound's power would be increased past 40+ hit dice, increase the power of the wound some other way, such as by increasing the area, difficulty of healing the wound and so forth.
An outsider that decreases the wound caused to no wound cause can exist on the Prime safely, so long as no factor occurs to strengthen the severity of of the wound. Should this happen, the outsider immediately causes a spiritual wound. An outsider below 21 hit dice does not cause a spiritual wound, even if there are modifying factors in favor of causing a more severe wound.
Additional means of modifying spiritual wounds exist, this list is not exhaustive.
Table 1.1: Modifying Factors for Spiritual Wounds
Modifying Factor | Wound Adjustment |
Former Native | -1 |
Elemental Subtype or Template | -1 |
Soothing Presence | -1 |
Divine Rank Zero | +1 |
Destructive Presence | +1 |
Former Native
If the creature was born on the Prime in question, decrease the severity of the wound by one category. This only applies if the creature was not born as an outsider or as an outsider with the native subtype. This also only applies to outsiders that remember their past life, generally only mortals that ascended through their own power or the direct intervention of a divine patron. These creatures retain a tie to the Prime of their birth, which allows them to be there with less strain.
Elemenetal Subtype or Template
If the creature has the air, earth, fire or water subtypes, decrease the severity of the wound by one category. This also applies if the creature has a template tied to the Elemental Planes, such as half fire elemental. This does not apply if the creature already has the elemental type, as the less severe wounds elementals cause is already factored in to them.
Soothing Presence
If the creature has the soothing presence feat, decrease the severity of the wound by one category.
Divine Rank Zero
If the creature has divine rank zero, increase the severity of the wound by one category. This includes creatures that count as divine rank zero for the sake of effects, such as a Duke of Hell or Authority of Celestia.
Destructive Presence
If the creature has the destructive presence feat, increase the severity of the wound by one category.
Types of WoundsThere are three types of spiritual wounds, alignment, elemental and other. Outsiders usually cause alignment wounds, while elementals usually cause elemental wounds. However, any creature capable of causing spiritual wounds can cause any suitable wound they meet the prerequisites for, no matter the type.
Alignment wounds are tied to the Outer Planes and alignment. These tend to be difficult to heal and require the opposing alignment to heal the wound. These infect the world with the stuff of the afterlife and belief. Some wounds of this type, particularly those from good aligned outsiders, can be appealing to mortals. However, even the ones that appeal to mortals can have negative effects on them.
Elemental wounds are tied to the Inner Planes and the elements. They are usually easier to heal than the other types of wounds, but are also more hostile to mortal life. This is not because the stuff of the Inner Planes is inherently hostile to life, but that too much of it is often dangerous to mortals.
Other wounds are for things that do not fit in either of the two previous categories. Wounds that deal with the breakdown of the boundaries of the planes also go here. It's something of a catchall category.
There is often more than one type of spiritual wound mixed together. A creature can create more than one type of wound at once, should it be appropriate. For example, an angel might cause the align area and glory wounds together. This is more common with outsiders of 26 or more hit dice, those with the destructive presence feat or those with divine rank 0.
Unique outsiders usually have a unique spiritual wound that they cause. This may be a particular combination of wounds or something wholly unique. A few examples of this are provided below.
Identifying WoundsThe effects of a wound may be identified by a Knowledge (Planes) check. The DC is equal to the minimum hit dice required to cause the wound. For example, a wound that has a prerequisite of 21+ hit dice has a DC of 21.
A specific wound caused by a unique outsider can also reveal the identity of the outsider. The Knowledge (Planes) check must match or exceed the hit dice of the creature that caused it + 10 to do so.
Spread of WoundsIf left unchecked, spiritual wounds naturally spread. The speed of this varies from wound to wound (and between different occurrences of the same wound), but the average is by 10ft in area per week. Some wounds expand much faster and other wounds are stable for long periods of time, not expanding at all. Eventually, a spiritual wound left along long enough and that expands far enough collapses into a planar rift spiritual wound (and replaces the previous wounds).
When this happens to a wound is left to the DM's discretion, but a wound must have at least tripled in area before this can happen.
Outsiders and Spiritual WoundsAn outsider is immune to any negative effects of a wound they qualify for or caused, though they enjoy any benefits from it. In the case of spiritual wounds with varying prerequisites, such as align area and requiring the good or evil subtype, they must qualify in the same way the creature that caused it qualified for it. This also applies to any creature also capable of causing spiritual wounds, such as an elemental with an alignment-based template.
Reading the EntriesType
The type of wound. It is possible for a wound to be more than one type of wound if appropriate, but this is rare and usually the domain of wounds caused by unique outsiders.
Prerequisites
Just like feats, spiritual wounds have prerequisites. All wounds have a prerequisite of a number of hit dice needed. Note that creatures do not need to select spiritual wounds like feats, only qualify for them.
Area
The area affected by the wound. The area extends from all directions from the point of the wound. For example, a 300ft wound extends 300ft in every direction from the wound. Generally, the point a wound is caused at is the point where the creature was when it caused the wound. If the radius of the wound is not a multiple of five, round it to the nearest multiple of five, to a minimum of 5ft.
Means of Healing
The means of which the wound can be healed. A wound has to be healed at the point it was caused, usually where the creature that caused it first appeared on the Prime. The creature(s) healing the wound have to be physically in that space or directly adjacent to it (in cases where the wound requires multiple creatures to close or renders the point of the wound impossible to enter).
Druids and rangers, as champions of the natural world, are able to heal spiritual wounds even when they do not have access to the spells that a wound requires. They may instead substitute an unused spell slot (or an unused spell per day in the case of a spontaneous caster) of a level equal or greater to than the spell that would heal the wound. This only applies if they do not have access to the spell that would normally heal the wound (such as a wish or miracle spell). Doing so expends the slot or spell per day as if a spell was cast with it.
If a druid or ranger spends an unused spell slot or spell per day of a higher level than required to heal the wound, they gain a +1 bonus to any caster level check to heal the wound per level above the minimum required. For example, a druid who uses an empty 11th level spell slot to heal a wound that requires a wish or miracle spell would gain a +2 bonus to any caster level check to heal it.
Saving Throw
If a wound allows a saving throw, the type will be noted here. The saving throw for a spiritual would is 10 + Charisma modifier of the creature that caused it + 1/2 of the creature that caused its hit dice. For example, an creature with 22 hit dice and a Charisma modifier of +10 would result in a save DC of 31.
List of Spiritual WoundsThis list is not exhaustive, but instead a sample of the most common spiritual wounds.
Align Area
Type: Alignment
Prerequisites: 21+ hit dice, good or evil subtype, cha 13
Area: A number of feet equal to the creature's hit dice times its Charisma modifier.
Means of Healing: A consecrate or desecrate spell, whichever is the opposite of the effect caused. A caster level check equal to the hit dice of the creature that caused it is required.
Saving Throw: None
The presence of the creature causes the area around it to become consecrated (if the creature has the good subtype) or desecrated (if the creature has the evil subtype).
Burning Wound
Type: Elemental
Prerequisites: 21+ hit dice, fire subtype
Area: A number of feet equal to the creature's hit dice times its Charisma modifier.
Means of Healing: A dispel fire spell.
Saving Throw: None
This spiritual wound causes a drastic rise in the temperature within the wound. The temperature within the area rises by two temperature bands (minimum warm). Water evaporates from the area within 10 minutes. Small sources of water such as a stream or a pond are evaporated and destroyed by this wound. Larger sources of water such as a river or lake, suffer a small reduction in mass but are otherwise unaffected. Due to the temperature instability between the wounded area and the surrounding, violent, unpredictable and unnatural weather within and around the wound is common.
Freezing Wound
Type: Elemental
Prerequisite: 21+ hit dice, cold subtype
Area: A number of feet equal to the creature's hit dice times its Charisma modifier.
Means of Healing: A dispel cold spell.
Saving Throw: None
This spiritual wound results in a sharp drop in the temperature within the wound. The temperature within the area falls by two temperature bands (minimum cold). Water within the area freezes within 10 minutes. Sources of water that are only partially in the wound, such as a lake, only have the parts within the wound frozen. Due to the temperature instability between the wounded area and the surrounding, violent, unpredictable and unnatural weather within and around the wound is common.
Final Perfection
Type: Alignment
Prerequisite: 40+ hit dice, lawful subtype, cha 13
Area: A number of feet equal to the creature's hit dice times its Charisma modifier.
Means of Healing: A wish or miracle spell. A caster level check equal to the hit dice of the creature that caused it is required. Chaotic creatures gain a +4 bonus to this roll.
Saving Throw: Will negates; see text
This ability is a more extreme version of perfected life. Everything affected becomes absolutely lawful and perfect. There are no flaws, everything is symmetrical and connected and all is in order. In fact, the terrain and creatures cannot be affected by any means short of a wish or miracle spell. They are immortal and invincible, incapable of changing. Creatures that are within the wound's area when it is created or that spend an hour's time within the wound must make a Will save or become part of the wound. Spending multiple hours within the wound requires a saving throw for each hour.
Creatures affected gain the axiomatic creature template and change to lawful alignment if they are not already so. They are bound to stay within the area of the wound and cannot leave it, or even think of leaving it, as they are part of perfection. A wish or miracle spell can free a single creature from the wound, remove the axiomatic creature template and restore them to their previous alignment (if it changed). A creature freed remembers their time within the wound fondly, but is under no compulsion to rejoin it.
Some effects of the wound linger after it is healed. Inanimate objects, normal plants and animals within the area keep any traits they have gained but are vulnerable and resume aging. Intelligent plans, animals and creatures keep the axiomatic creature template, though a wish or miracle spell can remove it.
Glory
Type: Alignment
Prerequisite: 26+ hit dice, good subtype, cha 13
Area: A number of feet equal to the creature's hit dice times its Charisma modifier.
Means of Healing: A dispel good spell. A caster level check equal to the hit dice of the creature that caused it is required.
Saving Throw: Will negates; see text
The area of this spiritual wound is suffused with the eternal glory of the Heavens. The area is bright and full of beauty. Life seems better here and pain, discomfort and misery are far away. Peace reigns within this wound. Plants grow abundantly and animals that stay within the area gain the celestial creature template. However, this glory does not come without effects. Any mortal creature that spends an hour within this wound must make a Will save. Failure results in the creature deciding to stay within the area of the wound. They will resist leaving by any and all means, and if removed, attempt to return with all their power. This effect can be dispelled by dispel good, greater dispel magic or remove enchantment. Creatures that stay within the wound age one year per day they spend there. They feel drawn to what lies beyond, less and less attached to the mortal realm as they age and pass on.
Greater Align Area
Type: Alignment
Prerequisites: 30+ hit dice, good or evil subtype, cha 13
Area: A number of feet equal to the creature's hit dice times its Charisma modifier.
Means of Healing: A hallow or unhallow spell, whichever is the opposite of the effect caused. A caster level check equal to the hit dice of the creature that caused it is required. Creatures of the opposite alignment of the effect gain a +4 bonus to this roll.
Saving Throw: None
This functions as align area, except that the area is hallowed or unhallowed. A fitting spell may be attached depending on the creature that causes this wound. The spell affects creatures that share the creature's alignment (if positive) or all creatures of the opposing good-evil alignment (if negative).
Intermixing
Type: Alignment
Prerequisite: 26+ hit dice, chaotic subtype, cha 13
Area: A number of miles equal to 2d10 times the creature's Charisma modifier.
Means of Healing: A dispel chaos spell.
Saving Throw: None
Within the bounds of this spiritual wound, newborn life is altered and changed. Any pregnant creature that spends at least 1/4th of her pregnancy within this spiritual wound or that gives birth within it will have a mutated child. These mutations vary wildly from the minor to the impossible. In addition, there is a 25% chance any child affected will be born with the anarchic creature template. The mutations are entirely random in nature and can range from helpful to harmful. Multiple generations born within this spiritual wound soon become nothing like known creatures from the Prime. Such creatures are usually unique magical beasts, aberrations or outsiders.
Mathematical Instability
Type: Alignment
Prerequisite: 26+ hit dice, chaotic subtype, cha 13
Area: 8d10 times creature's Charisma modifier.
Means of Healing: A dispel chaos spell. A caster level check equal to the hit dice of the creature that caused it is required.
Saving Throw: None
This wound causes chance to infuse everything and cause unpredictable results. All attack rolls, damage rolls, checks and saving throws have a -6 penalty and gain a 1d10 bonus. Chaotic creatures reduce this penalty to -5 and increase the bonus to 1d12. For example, an attack roll of 1d20+20 would become 1d20+14+1d10. Effects that eliminate chance, such as spells augmented with the maximize spell feat, fail within this spiritual wound. Due to the unpredictable nature of this wound, any sort of divination to analyze or predict it fails.
Omens
Type: Alignment
Prerequisite: 30+ hit dice, evil subtype
Area: 5ft and 1,000 miles; see text
Means of Healing: Dispel evil spell. A caster level check equal to the hit dice of the creature that caused it is required. Good creatures gain a +4 bonus to this roll.
Saving Throw: Will save; see text
This spiritual wound is a tiny, festering tear. It is usually part of another wound. Regardless, the effects of this wound reach for 1,000 miles. Omens causes macabre omens to sweep over the range of effect. These omens vary but are obvious and foretell great doom. If part of another wound, this wound's omens relate to that. This wound also projects a considerable mental effect that targets seers, diviners and others who deal in divination. Every week, a number of suitable creatures equal to the Charisma modifier of the creature that caused the wound are beset by apocalyptic visions. These visions are omens and warnings. While they provide insight to the problem and wound, these visions are deeply disturbing. A Will save is needed to prevent madness from the vision. Creatures that fail the save are treated as being under the effects of an insanity spell until cured.
Ossification
Type: Elemental
Prerequisite: 26+ hit dice, earth subtype, cha 13
Area: A number of feet equal to the creature's hit dice times its Charisma modifier.
Means of Healing: A flesh to stone spell
Saving Throw: Fortitude negates; see text
This wound results in all plant life and animals within the wound when it is created to become petrified, as well as any creature that spends an hour or more within the wound. A Fortitude save prevents petrification and grants immunity to the effects of this wound for 24 hours. A creature petrified can be restored as normal, but doing so within the area of the wound requires a caster level check with a DC equal to the hit dice of the creature that caused the wound.
Perfected Life
Type: Alignment
Prerequisite: 21+ hit dice, lawful subtype, cha 13
Area: A number of feet equal to the creature's hit dice times its Charisma modifier.
Means of Healing: Dispel law spell.
Saving Throw: None
The presence of the creature causes the natural world to discard chaos and assume rigid order. All plants, natural terrain, buildings and animals are altered to become more perfect. They gain greater symmetry, a healthy if perfectly predictable and regimented growth and a lack of any wear, tear or damages. Animals within the area when the wound is first inflicted gain the axiomatic creature template, as do any animals that lair in or constantly visit the area.
Planar Rift
Type: Other
Prerequisite: 30+ hit dice
Area: Varies; see text
Means of Healing: A dimensional lock spell, wish or miracle. A caster level check equal to the hit dice of the creature that caused it is required.
Saving Throw: Varies; see text
The creation of this spiritual wound causes a direct tear between the Prime and the plane of origin of the creature that caused it. This rift appears as a shimmering tear of varying size, but is usually large and unmistakable. The exact appearance varies and depends on the plane it is connected to. A rift to Fire smokes and burns, a rift to Limbo appears as twisting, undulating chaos and so forth. This rift appears at the point the creature that caused it appeared (as normal) or at the point of the spiritual wound that grew into it (if caused by a weakened boundaries wound).
When first created, a planar rift causes a massive disturbance in nature. Plants and animals within it take 10d6 points of damage; this kills most animals and plants instantly. Fey and other creatures attuned to nature such as druids and rangers take 20d6 points of damage. A Fortitude save halves the damage taken. Creatures slain by this damage have their souls sucked into whatever plane the rift connects to. The exact result of this varies by plane, but usually the soul eventually becomes part of that plane, an outsider of that plane or similar fate. Those connected to the Lower Planes generally have their souls captured by the first capable fiend that chances on them.
One round after that damage is taken, any creature within the wound is at risk of being sucked into the rift. A Reflex save is allowed to negate this. Creatures sucked in find themselves in a random location within the plane the rift connects to and with no immediate means of return. The unstable nature of the rift results in this, rather than appearing on the other side of the rift.
Once created, the rift has the following effects.
Bring creatures
Creatures native to the plane the rift connects to come through it. These creatures appear within 100 miles of the rift. The amount and total hit dice of creatures brought at one time varies, but is no greater than the hit dice of the creature that caused the rift. Bring creatures can occur anywhere from hourly to daily to anything in between.
Elemental discharge
This effect only occurs when the plane the rift is connected to is one of the elemental planes or an elemental plane with an elemental dominant trait. A sudden and massive discharge of elemental energies bombard all creatures within the wound. This deals 20d10 points of damage to all creatures within the rift. A Reflex save is allowed to halve this damage. The type of damage matches the plane (Fire=fire, Water=cold, Earth=acid, Air=electricity) if possible. Particular quasi and para elemental planes may have mixed or unique effects. Elemental discharges generally happen no more than ten times per hour.
Energy discharge
This effect only occurs when the plane the rift is connected to has the positive or negative energy dominant trait. This deals 20d10 points of positive or negative energy damage (matching the plane's trait) to all creatures within the wound. A Fortitude save is allowed to halve this damage. While positive energy heals living creatures, remember that living creatures that absorb more than two times their maximum HP explode and are slain. Energy discharges generally happen no more than ten times per hour.
Alter nature
The energies of the rift invoke a permanent change in the natural world around it. This affects everything within the wound and everything within 100 miles of the wound. The exact effect of this varies and is related to the plane the rift is connected to. Such a change is highly traumatic and kills off approximately one third of all animals and plants within the range. Multiple alter natures will leave the effected areas with alien, otherworldly wildlife and plants surrounded by a largely dead and desolate world. Alter nature generally happens once per two to three days.
Alter weather
The energies of the rift permanently alters the weather of the natural world around it. This affects the area of the wound and 100 miles around it. The exact change varies and depends on the plane the rift is connected to. These changes tend to make the world ultimately unsuitable for mortal life, and fully unsuitable after several occurrences. Alter weather generally happens once per week.
Planar crumbling
The area around the wound succumbs, widening the area of the wound by 1000ft. Immediately after the initial effects of the wound repeat, dealing damage to all eligible creatures then attempting to suck in any creatures within range. Planar crumbling happens at a wildly varying rate, but using conjuration (teleportation) spells within the wound or the creation of another spiritual wound within the rift usually provokes an occurrence of planar crumbling (though no more than once per three hours).
Note that even if a planar rift is successfully healed, the effects of alter nature and alter weather remain. The act of a deity or epic magic is required to restore natural weather or nature to the area.
Rainstorm
Type: Elemental
Prerequisite: 21+ hit dice, water subtype, cha 13
Area: A number of feet equal to the creature's hit dice times its Charisma modifier.
Means of Healing: A dispel water spell.
Saving Throw: None
This wound results in constant rainfall within the wound. Treat this as downpour conditions, soon flooding the wound and the area around it. This changes to blizzard conditions in colder climates and seasons, but otherwise functions identically. If this wound occurs underwater or the wound becomes underwater (such as being due to flooding), water simply flows from the wound at an equivalent rate as the downpour.
Sunlight
Type: Elemental
Prerequisite: 21+ hit dice
Area: A number of feet equal to the creature's hit dice times its Charisma modifier.
Means of Healing: A dispel fire spell.
Saving Throw: None
This spiritual wound causes eternal sunshine in the affected area. It is always high noon within the wound and perfectly sunny, no clouds blocking the sun. It's as warm as a summer day no matter the weather outside of it. Assuming the temperature in the wound is different than the area outside of it, this causes instability resulting in violent, unpredictable and unnatural weather around the wound. Additionally, endless sunshine disrupts some plants, eliminates fungus growth in the area and causes difficulties for many animals and creatures.
Vermincall
Type: Alignment
Prerequisite: 21+ hit dice, evil subtype, cha 13
Area: A number of feet equal to the creature's hit dice times its Charisma modifier.
Means of Healing: A dispel evil spell.
Saving Throw: None
This wound creates a zone that lures and supports vermin. Within this range, vermin are drawn and thrive. Cockroaches, fleas, bed bugs, spiders and so forth inevitably and inextricably infest this area. Attempts to exterminate the vermin fail, as there always seem to be more. These vermin tend to carry diseases such as filth fever, demon fever and devil chills. Any creature that spends an hour in this wound or is bitten by the vermin must make a Fortitude save or contract one of those diseases. The DC to recover from these diseases is the DC to resist infection.
Weakened Boundaries
Type: Other
Prerequisite: 21+ hit dice
Area: 5ft; see text.
Means of Healing: A dimensional anchor spell.
Saving Throw: None
This spiritual wound causes a small wound 5ft in size. This wound has no visible effects most of the time, but every 24 hours the wound weakens the dimensional bonds of the area. This causes extraplanar creatures to be appear within 1000ft of the wound. These creatures are treated as having come through an open gate of their own will. The creatures called vary, but match the alignment or elemental subtype of the creature that caused the wound. Any number of creatures may be called, but the total hit dice of all creatures called may be no greater than one half of the creature that caused the wounds hit dice. Once there these creatures will act normally, including returning to whence they came if they have the ability and desire to do so. They are not treated as being summoned or called and are fully on the Prime.
Weakened boundaries are notoriously unstable. For every 100 hit dice of creatures brought to the Prime by this spiritual wound, increase the total maximum hit dice of the creatures summoned by one. Should a set of weakened boundaries summon 5,000 hit dice of creatures, the weakened boundaries are replaced by a planar rift.
Windstorm
Type: Elemental
Prerequisite: 21+ hit dice, air subtype
Area: A number of feet equal to the creature's hit dice times its Charisma modifier.
Means of Healing: A control weather spell
Saving Throw: None
This wound causes constant windstorms within the area. There is a constant wind of at least severe wind force at all times, with the exact wind speed and direction changing periodically and randomly. Greater windstorms, dust storms and tornadoes are common within and near the wound.
Specific Outsider EffectsThese are provided as an example and this is not an exhaustive list.
Haze of War
Type: Alignment
Prerequisite: 40+ hit dice, evil subtype, cha 23
Area: A number of miles equal to Gathgorian's hit dice times his Charisma modifier; 405 miles.
Means of Healing: A wish or miracle spell. A caster level check equal to Gathgorian's hit dice is required; DC 45. Creatures with the vow of nonviolence feat gain a +3 bonus to this roll, creatures with the vow of peace feat gain a +6 bonus instead.
Saving Throw: Will negates; see text
Haze of war causes all creatures within the area to fall into a rage unless they succeed on a Will save (DC 41). Affected creatures will attack any creature that is not a friend or ally. This rage persists for as long as the creature is in the area of the wound and 9 rounds thereafter. Creatures who enter the area of the wound are immediately subject to the rage and must make a Will save. Creatures that succeed on the save are immune to the effects of this wound for 24 hours or until they leave and re-enter the area of the wound.
Creatures affected by this rage retain the mental capacity to use spells (except spells that would nullify the effects of the rage), use tactics and to fight intelligently. This rage is a mind-affecting effect, but it is difficult to prevent. A mind blank spell is able to protect a creature from the effects of rage, though lesser magic (such as protection from evil) does not. A calm emotions spell or greater magic can end the rage, though the caster must succeed on a DC 45 caster level check. A creature that is cured of the rage through magic is immune to it for 24 hours, as if they had made the Will save. Creatures immune to mind-affecting abilities through racial or innate abilities are immune to haze of war, as are all devils.
Opal Glow
Type: Alignment
Prerequisite: 26+ hit dice, lawful subtype, good subtype, cha 21
Area: A number of feet equal to Antenora's hit dice times her Charisma modifier; 375ft.
Means of Healing: A wish or miracle spell. A caster level check equal to Antenora's hit dice is required; DC 29. Chaotic evil creatures gain a +4 bonus to this roll.
Saving Throw: None
This wound has the same effect as the glory and perfected life wounds. In addition, the area is suffused with open deposits of Sylican opal (http://www.soulriders.net/forum/index.php/topic,103074.msg1056171.html#msg1056171). These deposits of Sylican opal shed light like a torch and cast an opal blue-green light over the entire area. The total value of the opal within the wound is equal to the number of feet of the radius times fourteen; 5250 gold.
Spiritual Wound AccessoriesDestructive Presence [Epic]
Prerequisite: Able to cause spiritual wounds
Benefit: Your presence is more straining on the Prime than normal. You raise the severity of the spiritual wounds you cause by one category. If you already cause the maximum level of spiritual wound available, increase the effect of the wound in some way (see rules, above).
Planar Child [General]
Prerequisite: Born within the area of a spiritual wound, not an outsider or elemental
Benefit: Your type becomes outsider with the native subtype. This grants your darkvision 60ft and immunity to effects that work on humanoids but not outsiders, such as charm person. You gain a +4 bonus to saving throws against the effects of spiritual wounds.
Special: This feat can only be taken at first level.
Soothing Presence [Epic]
Prerequisite: Able to cause spiritual wounds
Benefit: Your presence is less straining on the Prime than normal. You lower the severity of the spiritual wounds you cause by one category, to a minimum of no wound caused.
Wound Healer [General]
Prerequisite: Able to cast 3rd level spells
Benefit: You gain a +4 bonus to any caster level checks to heal a spiritual wound, as well as a +4 bonus to the Knowledge (Planes) check to discover how to heal a spiritual wound. This stacks with the benefit from the wound sense feat.
Wound Sense [General]
Prerequisite: Planar Child or int 13 and wis 13
Benefit: You are unusually sensitive to spiritual wounds. You automatically sense when you enter the area of one. In addition, if you succeed on a DC 16 Intelligence check when you first enter a spiritual wound, you identify the effects of it. If you do, you gain a +5 bonus to the Knowledge (Planes) check to discover how to heal the wound.
Circle of Spiritual Protection

Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: Touch
Area: 30ft radius emanation from touched point
Duration: 1 day/level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
This spell creates a magic circle that protects the Prime from injury due to the presence of creatures able to cause spiritual wounds. A creature of 30 or less hit dice called into this circle does not cause spiritual wounds so long as it stays within the circle. If the creature leaves the circle, the circle is dispelled while the creature is still in it or the creature is still in the circle when the duration expires, a spiritual wound is immediately created.
This spell can be combined with other spells that call creatures capable of causing spiritual wounds. The spell's casting time is added to the casting time of the calling spell and the duration begins when the calling spell is cast.
This spell is ineffective if a creature has divine rank 1 or higher.
Material Component
A mix of ground up cold iron, silver and diamond dust worth 2,500 gold.
Greater Circle of Spiritual Protection

Duration: 1 round/level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
This spell allows you to study an area and identify any spiritual woulds active within it. Studying an area is a standard action.
This is a small booster for polymorph subschool spells. It runs with the format in Complete Mage and uses this for more forms and options. Notes as follows.
- When selecting a good polymorph subschool spell for yourself, you need to choose something that's relevant at your power level and that gives something worthwhile in exchange for what you give up. The most likely reasons are for raw combat power, for versatility of abilities beyond your normal grasp or for mobility. A wise choice options up a new realm of options for the caster, while a poor choice leaves them shorn of their spellcasting when they need it the most.
- The drawback of these spells is more pronounced in gestalt, while the strength of them is watered down. Versatility is less needed and most people aren't pure casters. This isn't to say that these spells are worthless in gestalt, but they are less useful.
- At heart, these spells are useful but situational. They're far less powerful than standard polymorph or shapechange. Imagine each as a single tool versus the full tool kit of polymorph or shape change.
- The secondary purpose of this is to establish some epic polymorph spells, help feel that out. Bear in mind those are a little tentative as a result of that. Any changes will be shown in the spell collection changelog.
- Each spell will have some italicized text to note what the purpose of the spell is from a design standpoint.

Jokes aside, this one is meant to complement the spells from Complete Scoundrel. There's spells that turn you into a fish and a bird there, so one with a burrow speed covers that aspect of movement.
Badgerform
Transmutation (Polymorph)
Level: Drd 1
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 swift action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 round/level
You take the form of a badger (MM 268). See the polymorph subschool sidebar (CM 91) for more information.
These elemental form spells can be adapted to other elemental types. Some may not balance precisely and require a different touch, but the skeleton for them is there. T over in B5 may be interested in this spell, actually.
Least Form of the Ice Spirit
Transmutation (Polymorph) [Cold]

You gain 20 temporary hit points, which expire at the end of the spell. You may use any of the dragonborn spirit's spell-like abilities once per casting of the spell. See the polymorph subschool sidebar (CM 91) for more information.
As least, except it also gives temp HP now. The previous spell's a little too weak for it. +1 level for 1 advancement category of elemental seems about right.

Level: Sor/Wiz 4
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 swift action
Range: Personal

You take the form of a medium ice para-elemental (see here (http://www.soulriders.net/forum/index.php/topic,103072.msg1052800.html#msg1052800)). You gain 30 temporary hit points, which expire at the end of the spell. See the polymorph subschool sidebar (CM 91) for more information.
Pixieshape is a prime example of a form that is physically weak but has excellent options nonetheless. How to place and price these forms is tricky. In this case, 4th level to match improved invisibility felt right.
Pixieshape
Transmutation (Polymorph)
Level: Sor/Wiz 4
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 swift action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 round/level
You take the form of a pixie (MM 236), including the bow and arrows normally used by such creatures. You may use each of the pixie's once per day spell-like abilities once per casting of the spell, except for irresistible dance, which you cannot use. You have a supply of 2 memory loss and 2 sleep special arrows, which vanish when the spell ends. See the polymorph subschool sidebar (CM 91) for more information.
No great change from the last one. No one really needs all of these spells, but the various form allows casters of greatly varying power to access a level-appropriate elemental form.
Form of the Ice Spirit
Transmutation (Polymorph) [Cold]
Level: Sor/Wiz 5
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 swift action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 round/level
You take the form of a large ice para-elemental (see here (http://www.soulriders.net/forum/index.php/topic,103072.msg1052805.html#msg1052805)). You gain 30 temporary hit points, which expire at the end of the spell. See the polymorph subschool sidebar (CM 91) for more information.
See the last ice spirit spell. Same here, not much to add yet.
Greater Form of the Ice Spirit
Transmutation (Polymorph) [Cold]
Level: Sor/Wiz 6
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 swift action

You take the form of a huge ice para-elemental (see here (http://www.soulriders.net/forum/index.php/topic,103072.msg1052807.html#msg1052807)). You gain 40 temporary hit points, which expire at the end of the spell. See the polymorph subschool sidebar (CM 91) for more information.
This one's to note that it's possible to use templated creatures for these spells. At least basic templates, anyway.
Heavenly Hunter's Form
Transmutation (Polymorph) [Good]
Level: Sor/Wiz 7
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 swift action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 round/level
You take the form of a celestial dire tiger (see here (http://www.soulriders.net/forum/index.php/topic,103072.msg1068007.html#msg1068007)). You gain 50 temporary hit points, which expire at the end of the spell. See the polymorph subschool sidebar (CM 91) for more information.
Another ice elemental spell. 7's about right for a greater elemental or maybe even a bit weak for it.
Least Form of the Ice King
Transmutation (Polymorph) [Cold]
Level: Sor/Wiz 7
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 swift action
Range: Personal
Target: You

You take the form of a greater ice para-elemental (see here (http://www.soulriders.net/forum/index.php/topic,103072.msg1052810.html#msg1052810)). You gain 50 temporary hit points, which expire at the end of the spell. See the polymorph subschool sidebar (CM 91) for more information.
Specialized forms can be harder to place. In this case, the crystal reef hunter is really good at what it does, but that only applies underwater. If you need this, it's a great option. If you don't, it's worthless. I generally aim for it to be reasonably balanced assuming that you need it.
Predator of the Crystal Waves
Transmutation (Polymorph)
Level: Sor/Wiz 8
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 swift action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 round/level
You take the form of a crystal reef hunter (see here (http://www.soulriders.net/forum/index.php/topic,103072.msg1055191.html#msg1055191)). You gain 60 temporary hit points, which expire at the end of the spell. See the polymorph subschool sidebar (CM 91) for more information.
The temp HP of these forms continue to rise. I've been eyeballing those, since I didn't notice any rhyme or reason to the amount of temp HP the canon spells give.
Lesser Form of the Ice King
Transmutation (Polymorph) [Cold]
Level: Sor/Wiz 8
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 swift action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 round/level
You take the form of an elder ice para-elemental (see here (http://www.soulriders.net/forum/index.php/topic,103072.msg1052812.html#msg1052812)). You gain 60 temporary hit points, which expire at the end of the spell. See the polymorph subschool sidebar (CM 91) for more information.
This form is all about the unusual options. Its SLAs give a normal wizard access to things he normally wouldn't have, as well as a host of special abilities. In this case, the sheer variety pushes it up to 9th level.
Body of the Astral Deva
Transmutation (Polymorph) [Good]
Level: Sor/Wiz 9
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 swift action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 round/level
You take the form of an astral deva (MM 11), including the mace normally used by such creatures. You gain 30 temporary hit points, which expire at the end of the spell. You may use each of the astral deva's at will spell-like abilities once per casting of the spell, and you may not use it's once per day spell-like abilities. See the polymorph subschool sidebar (CM 91) for more information.
This one's both experimental and possibly subject to being moved. That's okay since it's not a spell any of y'all are going to use. An undead, incorporeal polymorph is unorthodox (and RAW illegal as I understand it, could be wrong), so consider this one an experiment. Likewise, I'm not sure about the level of this spell. It's not quite as good as the other 9th level polymorph subschool spells, but it gives incorporeality and a good suite of abilities, so eh.
Sharran Avenger
Transmutation (Polymorph) [Evil]
Level: Sor/Wiz 9
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 swift action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 round/level
You take the form of a face of loss (see here (http://www.soulriders.net/forum/index.php/topic,103072.msg1054968.html#msg1054968)). You gain 50 temporary hit points, which expire at the end of the spell. Spawn that you create are no longer under your control once the spell ends, though they are friendly towards you. See the polymorph subschool sidebar (CM 91) for more information.
This spell is an exception to the rule that incorporeal creatures are immune to polymorph subschool spells. You are able to take this form and maintain it for the spell's duration; you do not die for having no Constitution score.
Who wouldn't like to take the form of a pit fiend? Well, anyone not a lawful evil jerk, anyway. This form's like the astral deva one above, except a bit stronger and without the versatility. Still not a bad option for what it is.
Champion of the Pit
Transmutation (Polymorph) [Evil, Lawful]
Level: Sor/Wiz 10
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 swift action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 round/level
You take the form of a pit fiend (MM 57). You gain 90 temporary hit points, which expire at the end of the spell. You may use any of the pit fiend's at will spell-like abilities once per casting of the spell, you cannot use its once per day or once per year spell-like abilities. See the polymorph subschool sidebar (CM 91) for more information.
This one's bumped to 10th level. I feel it's borderline but reasonable. It may not be quite as good as dragonshape, though dragonshape's one of those 9th level spells that's a little too strong, like they wanted to cram a concept into non-epic game play. Sort of like summon elemental monolith, which is certainly appropriate to mention here.
Form of the Ice King
Transmutation (Polymorph) [Cold]
Level: Sor/Wiz 10

You take the form of an ice para-elemental monolith (see here (http://www.soulriders.net/forum/index.php/topic,103072.msg1052835.html#msg1052835)). You gain 100 temporary hit points, which expire at the end of the spell. See the polymorph subschool sidebar (CM 91) for more information.
Planetars are meant to show that you can choose a creature with innate spellcasting, but that you don't get to use it. As such, the spell needs to be properly discounted since you're not getting that aspect of the creature.
Planet Defender
Transmutation (Polymorph) [Good]
Level: Sor/Wiz 10
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 swift action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 round/level
You take the form of a planetar (MM 11), including the greatsword normally used by such creatures. You gain 70 temporary hit points, which expire at the end of the spell. You do not gain the normal spellcasting ability of your new form. You may use any of the planetar's at will or three times per day spell-like abilities once per casting of the spell, you cannot use its once per day spell-like abilities. The planetar's always active spell-like abilities function as normal. See the polymorph subschool sidebar (CM 91) for more information.
As planet defender, except a solar. Resurrection's barred on purpose, as it's campaign limited. This might be a 13th level spell, it fell on the border and I opted to keep it at 12th for now.
Star Defender
Transmutation (Polymorph) [Good]
Level: Sor/Wiz 12
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 swift action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 round/level
You take the form of a solar (see here (http://www.soulriders.net/forum/index.php/topic,103072.msg1050385.html#msg1050385)), including the greatsword, bow and arrows and breastplate normally used by such creatures. You gain 140 temporary hit points, which expire at the end of the spell. You do not gain the normal spellcasting ability of your new form. You may use any of the solar's at will or three times per day spell-like abilities once per casting of the spell, you cannot use its once per day spell-like abilities or its resurrection spell-like ability. The solar's always active spell-like abilities function as normal. See the polymorph subschool sidebar (CM 91) for more information.
I have no idea if this one's at the right level, since primal magic's so hard to price. Even cut down to one use it offers a shot of amazing versatility. This one will see revision in the future, it's mostly a placeholder to finish the elemental forms.

Transmutation (Polymorph) [Cold]

Master Mentalist

Requirements
Skills
Variable skill 6 ranks; see below
Feats
Expanded Knowledge (see below), any one metapsionic feat
Psionics
Able to manifest 7th level powers
Special
Psion level 1st
Class Skills
The master mentalist's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Knowledge (all skills, taken individually) (Int), Profession (Wis) and Psicraft (Int).
Level | Base Attack Bonus | Fortitude Save | Reflex Save | Will Save | Special | Powers Known |
1 | +0 | +0 | +0 | +2 | Discipline study, reciprocal boost | +1 psion |
2 | +1 | +0 | +0 | +3 | Bonus power | - |
3 | +1 | +1 | +1 | +3 | Bonus feat | +1 psion |
4 | +2 | +1 | +1 | +4 | Bonus power | - |
5 | +2 | +1 | +1 | +4 | Discipline mastery | +1 psion |
Discipline Study (Ex)
On taking the first level of this class, the master mentalist must choose a new psionic discipline. This must be a different one than the one she chose as a 1st level psion. The master mentalist must have at least 6 ranks in any one of that new discipline's class skills granted by choosing that discipline. For example, a master mentalist who selects clairsentience as his new discipline must have 6 ranks in Gather Information, Listen or Spot.
The master mentalist does not gain immediate access to the new discipline (nor does she lose access to her previous discipline). She treats the skills of her new discipline as class skills for this class, as well as any further psion levels she takes. As she gains levels in this class, she gains access to additional abilities from her new discipline.
Additionally, the power chosen by the expanded power feat prerequisite of this class must be from the new discipline chosen.
Reciprocal Boost (Ex)
A master mentalist possesses a mind of great power. She can expend her psionic focus to greatly increase her ability to augment psionic powers for a brief period of time. The next power the master mentalist manifests is manifested with a bonus of 1d6+1 manifestor levels. The mental strain of doing this sickens her for one round. If any metapsionic feats are applied to the power, she is nauseated for one round instead. This ability can be used once per day. At 4th level, it can be used twice per day.
Bonus Power (Ex)
At 2nd and 4th level, the master mentalist's study of new frontiers of her mind bears fruit. She gains an extra power known, as if she had selected the expanded knowledge feat. However, any power selected must be from her new discipline.
Bonus Feat
At 3rd level, the master mentalist gains a bonus feat. This may be any psionic, metapsionic or psionic item creation feat.
Discipline Mastery (Ex)
At the pinnacle of her power, the master mentalist learns to study two different and specialized fields of psionic power. She gains access to her new discipline as well as her old one.
Anti-Teleportation Booster
One of the greatest tools high and epic level characters have is teleportation. The ability to travel to where you wish instantly solves many problems and greatly reduces the severity of others. It is also a potent weapon, for it allows all manner of traps and defenses to be bypassed and for heroes to directly strike at the threat behind them. This makes measures against teleportation a vital need for powerful creatures of all stripes. This booster provides methods that can stop or manage teleportation, as well as how each measure can be defeated by enterprising characters.
Ways to Stop Teleportation
Spells
Magic provides the most ready and accessible means of stopping teleportation. Spells such as dimensional lock, forbiddance and zone of respite all offer means to stop dimensional intrusions, while anticipate teleport and greater anticipate teleport allow a caster to ready themselves when creatures teleport to them. Regardless, every spell varies in effectiveness and duration, but they can generally be dealt with by dispelling them in person.
New spells to deal with teleportation are provided below.
Ley Lines
A defense native to the Prime Material, a sufficiently strong ley line or ley line cluster can render teleportation dangerous or impossible. The exact effect depends on the strength of the ley line, which is described below.
A moderate ley line renders teleportation magic of 5th level or lower unsafe. These spells have a 20% chance of producing a mishap, which causes 2d10 points of damage to all travelers and results in them being shunted to a random location on that Prime or to the Astral Plane (50% chance of either). In the case of teleport or other spells that have a chance of mishap already, both chances of mishap are rolled and resolved separately. Spells of 6th level or higher are not affected by a moderate ley line.
Strong ley lines disrupt dimensional travel further. Spells of 6th level or lower have a 60% chance of mishap, while greater teleport and greater plane shift both have a 20% chance of mishap. A mishap due to a strong ley line inflicts 4d10 points of damage to all travelers, but is otherwise identical to the above. Gate and other 9th level or higher spells are not affected by a strong ley line.
Overwhelming ley lines prevent all dimensional travel with only a few exceptions. A gate spell can function, but there is a 25% chance the spell fails. This spell failure applies to other 9th level teleportation spells, though epic spells can overcome the risk of failure entirely.
A ley line cluster, which is a convergence of several ley lines into a node, prevents all teleportation and dimensional travel. It is possible for epic magic to make teleportation possible, though such methods are usually known only to a few deities and the fey lords.
Regardless, there's little to be done about ley lines. They're a natural part of the Prime.
Psychic Storm
A psychic storm on the Astral Plane can make teleportation to an area of another plane temporarily impossible. Under normal circumstances this is not a concern, as the odds of one being in exactly the right place at the right time are remote. However, is is possible to create a psychic storm that does not naturally dissipate and stays in place. This provides a powerful defense against teleportation, dooming any efforts to teleport into the area to failure. Any creature that attempts to do so, as well as any passengers, suffer the mental effect of being exposed to a psychic storm (MoP 51).
Setting up a psychic storm in this way requires a great deal of research. Doing so takes one month of research, which consumes 10,000 gold in rare supplies and requires a successful DC 30 Knowledge (Arcana) or Knowledge (Planes) check at the location to be protected. Success allows the researcher to pin point where on the Astral the psychic storm must be. From there, completing the ritual of the howling mind on the Astral Plane creates a permanent psychic storm.
The only remedy to this defense is to travel to the Astral Plane, locate the psychic storm and end it. A wish or miracle spell cast within a psychic storm can stop it, as can specialized magic.
Dead Magic Area
Dead magic areas are areas where magic does not function due to damage to the Weave. As magic does not work there, teleportation and planar intrusion are not possible. There is little to be done about these, short of petitioning Mystra and her faithful to heal the area afflicted. While these areas are an option to stop teleportation, the anti magic nature of them makes them an unpopular option of last resort.
Teleportation Beacon
While not strictly a defense against dimensional travel, a teleportation beacon causes all means of dimensional travel within the area affected to appear at the beacon's focal point. There is no save against this, though weaker teleportation beacons can be overwhelmed by sufficiently powerful magic. As a magical item, a teleportation beacon can be destroyed or dispelled like any other item. Most are protected by various abjurations and guardians to prevent unhappy travelers from doing exactly that.
Sever Astral Links
Finally, the most absolute defense against dimensional travel is to sever an area's connection to the Astral Plane. Doing so makes teleportation - including means such as shadow walk - completely impossible. Severed astral links are rare and are almost always a defensive measure by a deity or planar lord within their realm. The means to restore astral links are difficult, as not even a wish or miracle spell will suffice. A deity can use alter reality to do so (and requires an opposed rank check to do so if it is another deity's plane or divine realm), and there are epic spells to sever and restore astral links.
New Magic Items
Teleportation Beacons
Teleportation beacons range in size from small objects to elaborately carved designs. The exact shape of each one varies and they range in size from a small sphere to a life sized statue of a human. More expensive ones are usually made of sturdy materials such as hard stone, steel or even adamantine, so that they are harder to destroy. Additionally, most are surrounded by wards or protected by creatures.
Teleportation Beacon, Least
This beacon eases teleportation and plane shifting, making them less prone to error. A teleportation beacon must be placed down in an area and allowed to attune for 1 week. Thereafter, it grants several benefits to creatures that teleport to within 100ft of it. The teleport spell treats the affected area as very familiar. A plane shift spell targeted at the affected area will appear there rather than within 5d100 miles. Teleportation spells and powers with similar drawbacks to those two spells are likewise aided at the DM's discretion.
Moderate divination; CL 7th; Craft Wondrous Item, scrying; Price: 10,000 gold.
Teleportation Beacon, Lesser
This has the same properties as a least teleportation beacon except with a range of 1000ft. When placed down, the creature that does so may select a location within 1000ft of the beacon. This location must be able to support creatures and not empty air. All attempts to teleport, plane shift or otherwise use effects of the teleportation subschool appear within the range of the beacon are rerouted to the chosen location instead. If the location chosen is occupied when another creature would appear there, the creature appears in the nearest legal position within the range instead. If there are no legal positions available within the range, the teleportation effect functions normally instead.
Moving the teleport beacon out of the range of the point selected ends the effect and it may be placed down with a new location selected.
Gate and epic spells are capable of bypassing a lesser teleportation beacon, though greater teleport and greater plane shift are not.
Strong divination; CL 15th; Craft Wondrous Item, scrying; Price: 100,000 gold.
Teleportation Beacon
This has the same properties as a lesser teleportation beacon except with a range of 1 mile.
Overwhelming divination; CL 21st; Craft Wondrous Item, greater scrying; Price: 210,000 gold.
Teleportation Beacon, Greater
This has the same properties as a teleportation beacon except with a range of 10 miles. Gate is not able to bypass a greater teleportation beacon, though an epic spell conceivably could.
Overwhelming divination; CL 30th; Craft Wondrous Item, greater scrying; Price: 630,000 gold.
New Spells
Teleportation Scrambler
Evocation
Level: Sor/Wiz 4
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 hour/level
You cause a zone of astral distortion to surround you, which scrambles, distortes and damages any creature that teleports to a point 10ft per caster level of you. Creatures that do so suffer 1d10 points of damage points of damage per caster level (maximum 10d10) when they do so. A successful Fortitude save halves the damage but spell resistance does not apply.
Ley Line Travel
Conjuration (Teleportation)
Level: Drd 6
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal and touch
Targets: You and creatures touched
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
This spell can only be cast when you are within a ley line. It allows you to instantly travel to any other point on the ley line. This location must be safe and have sufficient space for you and any creatures affected to appear. If cast in a ley line node, you can travel to any point in the node or to any point on the ley lines that connect to the node. Unlike with teleport, you appear with no chance of mishap.
This spell is not subject to the normal disruptions to teleportation that ley lines can cause, but other means to stop teleportation are effective against it.
Restore Astral Links
Abjuration
Level: Sor/Wiz 15
Components: V, S, F
Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Short (25ft + 5ft 2/levels)
Area: 1 100ft cube/level
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
This spell restores an area's connection to the Astral Plane. Doing so allows teleportation and dimensional magics to function properly in the area affected by a sever astral links spell or by the actions of a deity.
Restoring astral links can be dangerous. While it is possible for astral links to sever through unusual duress or by the sever astral links spell, it is most commonly seen in a deity's divine realm or the plane they rule over. Restoring the astral links a deity has severed in her divine realm or plane is guaranteed to get the attention of the deity, who is free to react as they see fit. Sending powerful servants to smite the offending creature is the most likely course of action, though avatars and even the deity herself may choose to appear.
Focus
A handheld replica of a color pool from the Astral Plane, made with a drop from a real color pool.

Casting Time: 1 round
Range: Short (25ft + 5ft 2/levels)
Area: 1 100ft cube/level
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
This spell severs an area's connection to the Astral Plane. Doing so prevents teleportation and dimensional magics from working in the area affected. An area affected can only be restored by a restore astral links spell or a deity using alter reality.
Severing astral links can be dangerous. While there is little risk if done in most locations, doing so on an outer plane or in a deity's divine realm will attract the attention of the deity or planar lord who rules there. This usually provokes the deity to send powerful servants or even an avatar to ascertain the situation and punish the spell caster. A deity and her avatars are capable of teleportation in their own divine realm, even if the astral links are severed, so this spell offers no defense against that happening.
Focus
A silver knife stained with the blood of an astral dreadnought.

Effective Level: 9th
Skill Check: Knowledge (Arcana) DC 35, 5 successes; Knowledge (Planes) DC 35, 5 successes

Components: V, S, M, F, B
Casting Time: 100 minutes
Range: Touch
Target: Area touched
Duration: Permanent
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
By invoking the ritual of the howling mind, you create a stable, permanent and immobile psychic storm (MoP 51). As such, this ritual may only be cast on the Astral Plane. It creates an psychic storm with a 10ft radius per hit die of the caster around the point touched.
When used to protect a location on another plane from teleportation, each 10ft radius covers a corresponding 100ft radius on that plane. See above for more information.
A psychic storm created by this spell can be dispelled by a wish or miracle spell, or specialized magic to calm Astral storms. Such magic is primarily known to the githyanki.
Failure
If the caster fails two consecutive checks, he suffers 3d6 points of Intelligence damage from the psychic backlash.
Material Component
A quartz crystal specially prepared, which is slowly broken as the ritual goes on and is worth 5,000 gold.
Focus
A drop of blood from a creature with the psionic subtype.
Backlash
The caster is swept away by a psychic storm, though they are not subject to the psychic storm's mental effects.

Focus (Ex)
Such is your devout dedication to learning the art of the scythe that other weapons are neglected. Whenever you wield a weapon that isn't a scythe, you suffer a -2 penalty to attack and damage rolls.
Weapon Specialization
You gain weapon specialization (scythe) as a bonus feat. If you already possess this feat, you may select another feat you qualify for.
Scytheblock (Ex)
You learn how to use a scythe's long handle to parry effectively, giving the benefits of a shield. You gain a +2 shield bonus to armor class. This bonus increases to +3 at 5th level and +4 at 8th level.
Reaper's Fall (Ex)
You learn every trick there is to trip an opponent with your scythe. When you use your scythe to make a trip attempt, you gain a +2 bonus to CMD. This bonus increases to +4 at 8th level. This benefit stacks with the improved trip feat and similar abilities.
Circle Cut (Ex)
Beginning at 4th level, you can make a single attack as a full round action. This attack applies to all squares within your reach and is otherwise identical to the whirlwind strike feat.
Greater Focus (Ex)
At 5th level, your penalty to attacks with weapons that aren't a scythe rises to -4.
Reaper's Reach (Ex)
With the long handle of the scythe, you can strike down foes at a distance. When you wield a scythe, your reach is considered 5ft longer than it usually is. Your scythe is not treated as a reach weapon, you may attack adjacent targets as normal.
Greater Weapon Focus
You gain greater weapon focus (scythe) as a bonus feat. If you already possess this feat, you may select another feat you qualify for.
Horrific Critical (Ex)
When you strike true with your scythe, it is a spectacle that inspires fear into all around you. Whenever you make a critical hit against a target, all enemies within 30ft must make a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 your hit dice + your Strength modifier) or be shaken for 1 minute.
Greater Weapon Specialization
You gain greater weapon specialization (scythe) as a bonus feat. If you already possess this feat, you may select another feat you qualify for.
Scythe Mastery (Ex)
For any feat that applies to a scythe, you may ignore any requirements that require levels in a character class, such as fighter. For example, you may select weapon supremacy (scythe) without meeting the prerequisite of being an 18th level fighter. Any other requirements for a feat must still be met as normal.
Finishing Strike (Ex)
You have reached a new level of skill in dishing out decisive scythe blows. When wielding a scythe, increase your critical threat range by one and your critical hit multiplier by one. Apply these modifiers after other modifiers to your threat range and critical hit multiplier.
Ultimate Focus (Ex)
By neglecting other weapons, you have increased your own power with the scythe greatly. You gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls with a scythe.
This prestige class is for those fascinated by destruction, consumption and the nature of oozes. While not inherently evil, the majority of orbahs serve Juiblex. Few good-hearted people will follow a path associated with a demon lord and that involves self mutilation. Many consider it an evil path, though in truth it is more alien and abnormal than evil. Most who take thie prestige class willingly serve the Lord of Slime, though a few outliers see it as a path to power. Those outliers are sometimes targeted by mortal agents of Juiblex, though the Lord of Slime does not care to take action against them.
Quick note on the prereqs. Non-good is explained above plus by the self mutilating nature of the class. BAB is purely a check since this is meant for warrior types. Two of the feats are self evident, though iron will's there because it takes a lot of willpower to willfully harm yourself over and over.
Orbah means slime in Abyssal. At least in some dialects, anyway.Orbah

Ooze Body (Ex)
An orbah learns how to manipulate his body to flow freely like an ooze's. This grants several benefits.
At 1st level, the orbah's body becomes more slime-like and tougher, requiring more direct force to put down. The orbah gains a bonus to maximum hit points equal to his class level times three. For example, a 5th level orbah has a bonus of 15 to his maximum hit points.
At 3rd level, the orbah's body moves in ways a solid creature's cannot. This allows him to dodge unnaturally well, granting a +2 dodge bonus to armor class. This bonus increases to +4 at 7th level
At 5th level, the orbah's body parts become interchangeable, becoming more like one mass of slime. This grants the orbah a 50% chance to ignore critical hits and sneak attacks.
At 9th level, the orbah's body begins to restore itself and produce more slime to compensate for the nature of the orbah's abilities. This grants the orbah fast healing 1.
At 10th level, the orbah's body completes its transformation and becomes an ooze. His type changes to ooze. Unlike other oozes, the orbah is not mindless and retains his intellect, as well as his ability to see normally. He gains blindsight 30ft and becomes immune to critical hits, paralysis, poison, polymorph, sleep, sneak attacks and stunning. The orbah cannot be flanked. The orbah's body has unnatural flexibility and can contort itself freely, granting him a bonus to Escape Artist checks equal to his orbah level.
Acid Glob (Ex)
A 2nd level orbah can fire globs of acid from his own body. As a standard action, the orbah can hurl a glob of acid at a nearby target. This requires a ranged touch attack roll and has a maximum range of 60ft. The glob of acid deals 1d6 points of acid damage per orbah level.
The orbah must use a little of his own body for the acid glob. This deals 2d6 points of damage to the orbah.
Poison Ooze (Ex)
A 4th level orbah can convert part of his body into an acidic poison. Once per day as a standard action, the orbah can make a touch attack against a single creature. If he succeeds, the touched creature must make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 orbah's hit dice + orbah's Constitution modifier) or be poisoned. This poison deals 1d10 points of Constitution damage as its initial and secondary damage.
The orbah must use some of his body to create this poison. This deals 3d6 points of damage to the orbah.
Slime Wave (Ex)
A 6th level orbah can release a wave of slime from his body. This is identical to a slime wave spell (SC 192), except that the spell is centered on the orbah and he is immune to the effects of his slime wave. The save DC is 10 + 1/2 the orbah's hit dice + the orbah's Constitution modifier. The orbah can use this ability once per day at level 6 and twice per day at level 9.
The orbah must use some of his body as the slime wave. This deals 5d6 points of damage to the orbah.
Momentary Split (Ex)
At 8th level, the orbah learns how to split off part of his body in the same manner that slimes split. By focusing his power and expending some of his energy, he is able to produce enough slime to form a short-lasting body identical to his normal body. Once per day when he makes a full attack, the orbah seemingly splits in two. This allows him to make two attacks for every attack he makes. For example, an orbah who attacks three times at +19/+14/+9 would make six attacks, two at +19, two at +14 and two at +9. Once the full attack is completed, the second body collapses into a puddle of slime. This stacks with effects that provide extra attacks, such as haste.
This ability is extremely draining on the orbah. He takes 1d8 points of damage per hit die he has and is fatigued until the end of the encounter.

New Feats
Cunning Ascetic [General]
Prerequisite: Inspiration, Improved Unarmed Strike
Benefit: Your factotum and monk levels stack to determine your total inspiration points and unarmed damage. If you have levels in monk that would allow you to add your Wisdom modifier to your armor class, you may instead add your Intelligence modifier. If you have the stunning fist feat, you may use your Intelligence modifier in place of your Wisdom modifier to determine the save DC of stunning fist.
Cunning Mage [General]
Prerequisite: Arcane Dilettante, ability to cast 2nd level arcane spells
Benefit: Your factotum level stacks with your arcane spellcasting class to determine your total caster level, while your arcane casting classes stack with your factotum level to determine the caster level of your arcane dilettante spells. If you have more than one class that grants arcane spellcasting, your factotum level stacks with each of them. This does not increase spells per day, spells known or grant access to more spells, it only increases your caster level. Additionally, once per day as an immediate action, you can sacrifice an arcane spell to regain inspiration points equal to the level of the spell sacrificed. You cannot regain inspiration above your normal maximum.
Cunning Rogue [General]
Prerequisite: Inspiration, Sneak Attack+2d6
Benefit: Your factotum and rogue levels stack to determine your total inspiration points and sneak attack. Additionally, whenever you end your move in a position that flanks an enemy, you may spend 3 inspiration points to immediately make an attack against them.
Cunning Warrior [General]
Prerequisite: Fighter level 2nd, Cunning Defense
Benefit: Your factotum and fighter levels stack to determine your total fighter level for feats that require a minimum fighter level, such as weapon specialization. Additionally, you may use your Intelligence score in place of your Strength or Dexterity modifier for the sake of qualifying for feats. You may do this even when the feat has a separate Intelligence prerequisite.

Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain cunning brilliance.
Benefit: You can mimic almost any power or ability you see. By spending 4 inspiration points, you can mimic any spell or spell-like ability that has been cast in the last round. This is a standard action. You cannot mimic a spell with a casting time greater than a standard action, though if the casting time is less than a standard action, it becomes a standard action. The spell uses your statistics in place of the creature or object that caused the effect, use your factotum level in place of caster level or hit dice as appropriate. You select targets and set all the other parameters of the spell as normal.

Alternate Class Feature: Cunning Wizard

You do not have domains or access to domain spells.

Inspiration
Levels in magical factotum stack with factotum to determine your total inspiration points.
Arcane Dilettante
This ability is identical to the factotum ability of the same name. Add the spells per day and maximum spell level from this class and factotum to determine your total spells and maximum spell level. For example, a 10th level factotum/1st level magical factotum would have 5 spells per day and a maximum of 5th level spells. Additionally, your factotum and magical factotum levels stack to determine your caster level for arcane dilettante.
Cunning Spellpower (Ex)
Whenever you cast a spell through arcane dilettante, you may spend extra inspiration points. The spell gains a bonus to caster level equal to the extra inspiration you spent. This bonus cannot exceed your magical factotum class level divided by two.
Expanded Access (Ex)
At 3rd level, the magical factotum may select an arcane spell from the spell list of a base class that does not appear on the sorcerer/wizard spell list. This spell must not be of a level higher than you can cast. Thereafter you may select that spell with arcane dilettante. At 6th and 9th level you may select another spell.
Bonus Feat
At 4th and 8th level, you may select any metamagic feat as a bonus feat. You must meet all the prerequisites of the feat.
Cunning Breach (Ex)
This ability functions as the factotum ability of the same name, except that it costs 1 point of inspiration to use and only applies to spell resistance.
Cunning Metamagic (Ex)
A master magical factotum uses metamagic like second nature. Whenever you prepare an arcane dilettante spell with a metamagic modifying it, you decrease the spell slot modifier by 1, to a minimum of 0.
New Magical Items

You can cast divine spells from the cleric spell list; this is identical to arcane dilettante except as noted here. You must provide a divine focus if the spell calls for one (a holy symbol of your deity). You use your Wisdom in place of Intelligence to determine the save DC of your spells. You do not have domains or access to domain spells.

Inspiration
Levels in magical factotum stack with factotum to determine your total inspiration points.
Arcane Dilettante
This ability is identical to the factotum ability of the same name. Add the spells per day and maximum spell level from this class and factotum to determine your total spells and maximum spell level. For example, a 10th level factotum/1st level magical factotum would have 5 spells per day and a maximum of 5th level spells. Additionally, your factotum and magical factotum levels stack to determine your caster level for arcane dilettante.
Cunning Spellpower (Ex)
Whenever you cast a spell through arcane dilettante, you may spend extra inspiration points. The spell gains a bonus to caster level equal to the extra inspiration you spent. This bonus cannot exceed your magical factotum class level divided by two.
Expanded Access (Ex)
At 3rd level, select a spell from a base class's arcane spell list that does not appear on the sorcerer/wizard spell list. You may now prepare this spell with arcane dilettante. You may not select a spell of a higher level than you can cast with arcane dilettante. At 6th and 9th level you may select another spell.
Bonus Feat
At 4th and 8th level, you may select any metamagic feat as a bonus feat. You must meet all the prerequisites of the feat.
Cunning Breach (Ex)
This ability functions as the factotum ability of the same name, except that it costs 1 point of inspiration to use and only applies to spell resistance.
Cunning Metamagic (Ex)
A master magical factotum uses metamagic like second nature. Whenever you prepare an arcane dilettante spell with a metamagic modifying it, you decrease the spell slot modifier by 1, to a minimum of 0.

Alternate Class Feature: Winter's Embrace
Favored souls that do Auril's bidding find that winter never leaves them.
Class: Favored Soul
Deity: Auril
Level: 1st
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain channel energy.
Benefit: You are surrounded by an aura of freezing cold. Creatures within 5ft of you take 1d6 points of cold damage per round. At 5th level and every 4 levels thereafter, the damage of your aura increases by 1d6. You are not harmed by your own aura, nor are other worshipers of Auril. This is a supernatural ability.
At 11th level and every 6 levels thereafter, your aura expands by 5ft.
Alternate Class Feature: Favored of Alicia
Alicia's favored souls are similar to her paladins and it shows.
Class: Favored Soul
Deity: Alicia
Level: 5th
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain energy resistance or damage reduction.
Benefit: At 5th level you gain the ability to smite evil. This is identical to a paladin's smite evil, except your bonus to damage rolls equals your favored soul level. You may use this ability once per day. This is a supernatural ability.
At 10th level and every 5 levels thereafter, you gain an additional daily use of smite evil.
Alternate Class Feature: Timely Harvest
Chauntea's favored souls know to plant seeds and harvest the crops when the time is just right. In time they learn to do this with more than crops.
Class: Favored Soul
Deity: Chauntea
Level: 3rd
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain deity's weapon focus or deity's weapon specialization.
Benefit: Once per day, you may cast a cure spell and choose to not have it affect the target immediately. Instead, it automatically takes effect when the target is reduced to zero or fewer hit points. This can save the target's life if the healing is sufficient to prevent death. The cure spell lasts for 24 hours. If it is not triggered by them, it fades away and is wasted.
At 12th level, you may use this ability three times per day. A creature can only be subject to one spell affected by this ability at a time.
For the sake of this ability, a cure spell is any spell with the word cure in the name that also restores hit points to the target.
This one deserves some background. Changing out channel energy's always tough, since it's such a strong ability with many ways to use it. You have to make the trade worth it, even if only to the particular niche the ACF is aimed at. This ACF is trying to do that. Does it succeed? Probably as long as the optimization doesn't get too heavy. A permanent, typeless bonus that slowly rises to two skills is nice, as is a free skill focus and save bonus.
I may adjust this one in the future.
Alternate Class Feature: Serpent's Tongue
Asmodeus reigns over lies, and in his dark generosity, bestows a tiny bit of his skill to his favored souls.
Class: Favored Soul
Deity: Asmodeus
Level: 1st
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain channel energy.
Benefit: You gain a bonus to Bluff and Sense Motive checks equal to your favored soul level divided by four (minimum 1; round up instead of down in this instance). This bonus also applies to saving throws against spells that detect lies or force you to tell the truth, such as discern lies and zone of truth. Add Bluff to your favored soul class skill list.
At 9th level, you gain Skill Focus (Bluff) or Skill Focus (Sense Motive) as a bonus feat. You may choose which you prefer. If you already have both feats, select another feat for which you qualify for.
All of these favored soul ACFs come from a favored soul booster that didn't work out. There's a fair bit of content for them anyways, so it's getting posted. The nature of an unfinished project means that what is posted is a bit scattershot. Example: Two devil ACFs when B3 is running. Useful for me, not so useful for all of you.
Alternate Class Feature: Mephisto's Knowledge
Those rare few who obtain the approval of the Lord of the Eighth do it by destroying passion and replacing it with cold logic.
Class: Favored Soul
Level: 1st
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain channel energy.
Benefit: You use Intelligence in place of Charisma for your favored soul class features, including spellcasting. At every favored soul level that you gain access to a new level of magic, including 1st, you gain an additional favored soul spell known. This spell may be any spell from the sorcerer/wizard spell list with the evil descriptor, or any corrupt spell. The spell chosen must be of a level equal or lower than the highest spell level you can cast as a favored soul.
This is a continuation of the powerful hellfire warlock prestige class. In this case, it's meant to be taken by powerful mortals who have been corrupted by the power of hellfire. It plunges them deeper into diabolical power and ultimately binds them fully to Hell.

Hellfire Blast (Sp)
This ability is identical to a hellfire warlock's hellfire blast ability and stacks with it.
Resistance to Fire (Ex)
At 2nd level you gain resistance to fire 10. This stacks with any resistance to fire you've gained from warlock or hellfire warlock.
At 5th level this resistance increases to 20.
At 8th level you become immune to fire.
Draw Deeper (Ex)
By offering more of your life force, you can gather even more power into your hellfire blasts. When you make a helflire blast, you can choose to take two points of Constitution damage instead of one. If you do, the extra damage from hellfire blast (but not your normal eldritch blast) damage is doubled. For example, a hellfire master with hellfire blast+10d6 would instead deal an extra 20d6 damage.
Vampiric Blast (Ex)
You have learned from having your essence stolen and can now steal the essence of others. Whenever you deal damage with a hellfire blast, you heal damage equal to one half of that damage. Healing in excess of your maximum hit points is lost.
Life Theft (Ex)
Your hellfire blast no longer takes only your life force. A creature damaged by your hellfire blast also takes 1d4 points of Constitution damage as it steals part of the creature's essence. This essence goes to the diabolical forces behind the power of hellfire.
Hellfire Rebirth (Ex)
At 10th level, you are so saturated in the energies of Hell that you leave your mortality behind. Your type changes to outsider and you gain the devil, evil and lawful subtypes. You gain all the benefits of those subtypes, such as your natural weapons counting as evil and lawful aligned to overcome damage reduction. You are now a native of the Nine Hells and are a treated as a devil in all ways. You no longer take Constitution damage from using hellfire blast or hellfire shield and only take 1 point of Constitution damage when you use draw deeper. This does not inhibit your ability to use hellfire blast or hellfire shield, you may use them in spite of taking no Constitution damage.
However, you are now part of Hell's infernal machine. You may be called on for duties, given a minor noble rank and responsibilities to match or directly commanded by Hell's nobility. Failure to obey these commands will result in you being labeled a traitor and treated as such.

Epic Magic Items Booster
This booster is to provide more options for epic level characters to make epic items. This provides both new items and extensions of non-epic items, as well as codifying a few items already used in the campaign.
Non-Epic RingsDefense
These rings grant the wearer a deflection bonus to armor class and a resistance bonus to saving throws. Both bonuses are the same, a ring with a +1 bonus grants a +1 deflection bonus to armor class and a +1 resistance bonus to saving throws.
Faint abjuration; CL 5th; Forge Ring,
resistance, shield of faith; Price: 3,500 gold (+1), 14,000 gold (+2), 31,500 gold (+3), 56,000 gold (+4), 87,500 gold (+5)
Non-Epic Wondrous ItemsKnowledge Prism
These prisms were created by heretical gnomes in a war against all other races. They store a vast deal of information on creatures of all types. A prism connects to the bearer so that they can access its knowledge at all times, which grants a competence bonus to all Knowledge checks. The prism works so long as it is on the bearer's person.
Moderate to strong divination; CL 10th; Craft Wondrous Item,
divination; Price: 40,000 (+5), 200,000 (+10).
Non-Epic Psionic ItemsGreater Torc of Power Preservation
This torc is identical to a torc of power preservation, except that it reduces the manifesting cost of powers by 2 (to a minimum of 1).
Strong clairsentience; ML 20th; Craft Universal Item,
bend reality; Price: 100,000 gold.
New Magic Weapon Special AbilitiesAll-Bane
An all-bane weapon acts as a bane weapon. The exact type is variable. As a swift action, the wielder may change the type of bane weapon it is. This may be any bane type listed on the table for bane weapons (DMG 224), but not more exotic types of bane (such as a mage bane weapon).
An all-bane weapon does not stack with the bane special ability, thought it does stack with the bane of enemies epic feat and similar abilities. An all-bane weapon may be a dread weapon as well. If so, the all-bane ability and the dread ability do not stack. Use whichever is better.
Overwhelming conjuration; CL 21st; Craft Magic Arms and Armor,
summon monster I; Price: +5 bonus.
Backstabbing
A backstabbing weapon deals an extra 3d6 points of damage on a sneak attack. Once per day, the wielder may declare a single attack a sneak attack that would not otherwise be one. Targets that are immune to sneak attack are not immune to this sneak attack and take full damage from it.
A wielder who lacks sneak attack but has a similar source of precision damage, such as skirmish, may apply the benefits of a backstabbing weapon to those abilities instead.
Overwhelming transmutation; CL 21st; Craft Magic Arms and Armor,
nightstalker's transformation, true strike; Price: +5 bonus.
New Magic WeaponsEpic magic weapons usually benefit from the epic skill usages of Craft (Weaponsmithing). The details are listed at the end of each weapon as well as the DC needed. Most of these weapons can be made without them or with different ones, but these are standard.
Blade of the Celestial Knight
These are made in an unknown heavenly forge somewhere in Arcadia. They sporadically appear in Creation, usually in the hands of powerful mortal knights of good alignment. In the hands of a creature that is not a knight, the blade of the celestial knight is a bastard sword+2. In the hands of a knight, a Blade of the Celestial Knight is a bastard sword+7, defending and holy. The wielder gains a +2 sacred bonus to Will saves, attack rolls and damage rolls when using their fighting challenge ability. This bonus only applies to the target of fighting challenge and stacks with the normal benefits it offers.
Blade of the the Celestial Knight uses the improved design and improved damage type Craft (Weaponsmithing) epic skill usages. It deals a base of 1d12 damage and deals piercing and slashing damage. The DC is 55.
Overwhelming evocation; CL 21st, Craft Magic Arms and Armor,
divine power, holy smite; Price: 243,000 gold.
Catastrophe
The first weapon to bear these powers was created when a foolish archmage created portals to all the elemental planes in his tower. It is the only thing that survived and was named after the catastrophe that destroyed an entire city. This heavy mace+6 possesses the acidic blast, fiery blast, icy blast, lightning blast and sonic blast special qualities.
Catastrophe uses the improved design (x2) and improved critical multiplier Craft (Weaponsmithing) epic skill usages. It deals a base of 1d12 damage and inflicts triple damage on a critical hit. The DC is 90.
Overwhelming evocation; CL 21st; Craft Magic Arms and Armor,
hellball; Price: 1,352,000 gold.
Sunrise
These weapons are created when Lathanderite priest-smiths forge the first rays of sunrise into adamantine, creating swords that embody the ever-blossoming power of the sun. This is an adamantine longsword+7, holy power. Once per round when the wielder strikes an evil creature with this weapon, they may choose to deal no damage with the attack (including the negative level or levels from holy power). If they do, a sunburst spell is cast (CL25th, Reflex save DC 40) with the creature struck being the center of the sunburst. The wielder is immune to sunbursts created in this way.
Sunrise uses the improved critical multiplier Craft (Weaponsmithing) epic skill usages. It deals triple damage on a critical hit. The DC is 60.
Overwhelming evocation; CL 25th; Craft Magic Arms and Armor,
sunburst; Price: 597,000 gold.
New Magic ArmorsEpic magic armors usually benefit from the epic skill usages of Craft (Armorsmithing). The details are listed at the end of each armor as well as the DC needed. Most of these armors can be made without them or with different ones, but these are standard.
Corellon's Chain
This mithral chainmail+7, greater shadow and greater silent moves has no armor check penalty, no chance of arcane spell failure and an unlimited maximum dexterity bonus. The wear is protected by a constant freedom of movement effect.
Corellon's Chain does not directly use Craft (Armorsmithing) epic skill usages, instead using a different technique to grant its lack of arcane spell failure, armor check penalty and maximum dexterity bonus. It cannot benefit from other Craft (Armorsmithing) epic skill usages.
Overwhelming abjuration; CL 21st; Craft Magic Arms and Armor, creator must be an elf,
freedom of movement, invisibility, silence; Price: 232,500 gold.
Ghost Tiger
Ghost Tiger is leather armor+6, ghost touch. This armor grants the superlative agility and power of a tiger, giving the wearer a +8 enhancement bonus to Strength and Dexterity.

Regardless of what happens to it, the tiger can be summoned again the next day in perfect health.

Immortal's Ring
The immortal's ring is one of the greatest rings ever forged by a mortal, the final and comprehensive rebuke he had against the mortal condition. It is said that only one has ever been created, though it is possible another could be.
This ring is forged of solid platinum and forever glows with a faint yellow light. Anyone who wears this ring ceases to age for as long as it is worn. When the ring is removed, the creature begins to age again normally. The wearer suffers on ill effect when the ring is removed, other than that they resume aging.
There are several fail safes built into the ring. This ring cannot be removed from a living creature's body except if a command word is spoken by the wearer. The ring cannot be damaged so long as it is worn by a living creature, nor can the digit, hand or arm it is on be severed from the wearer's body. When not on a living creature, the ring has hardness 100, 500 hit points and is immune to energy damage. So long as the ring is not destroyed, it heals 50 points of damage per round. While the ring is not an artifact, it shares an artifact's immunity to anti magic fields and dead magic areas, ignoring the effects of them.

FormulasThe formulas for certain epic magic items are noted here for reference. Any theoretical is merely a theoretical, no promise of such an item being available is implied or intended.
Epic Weapons and Armor Epic Skill Usages:
For specific epic weapons and armor, any cost adjustment for epic skill usages is not factored in, nor is the masterwork price increase. As I usually adjust and round off these prices with DM fiat, there's little purpose in adjusting the prices for these, the change is too minor.
Ring of Defense:
The market price is determined by using a ring of protection of the appropriate level and adding an equal resistance bonus. The resistance bonus is subject to the 1.5 multiplier for adding a new ability to an existing magical item, though no off slot penalty is assessed.
A theoretical ring of defense +11 would cost 242000+121000+60500=423,500 gold.
Immortal's Ring:
This item is heavily discounted from how it would work Balmuria RAW. Blame immorality for having an absurdly expensive material component. Immortality in a mortal body is many times harder to achieve than immortality in an immortal body, this is a cosmological issue unique to the setting. Mortals are meant to die and move on into eternity as an outsider. As a side note, this is why the extended life span feat isn't enhanced at all. Creation is designed for mortals to die, it's epically difficult to resist that.
Anyway, the item's heavily discounted and got a bunch of security features added to make it more worth the price. RAW the base price should be 40 to 60 million.
Sunrise:
The price of this weapon was determined by taking a +13 adamantine weapon and adding the price of an at will sunburst, CL 25. This ended up over 700,000 gold, fiat adjustment reduced it from there to what I felt was more reasonable due to the conditions of using it.
Corellon's Chain:
This armor's price is adjusted for the realities of high level balance regarding armor. In particular that bracers of armor and mage armor type spells begin to dominate past early/mid levels, as they don't impose limits on the Dexterity bonus you can use, nor do they interfere with certain other AC increasing abilities.
Knowledge Prism:
The formula is bonus squared*100*10*2. The normal (houseruled) 2.5 times cost multiplier for a slotless item is reduced down to the SRD standard 2 times cost multiplier. This is for two reasons. First, this item predates that rule change, with the first prism seen in Balmuria 1, so it is grandfathered in. Secondly, I feel the item's price point is better balanced with a 2 times cost multiplier than a higher one, so it benefits from DM fiat.
A theoretical knowledge prism+25 would cost 25*25*100*10*2=1,250,000 gold.
This came up in B3 and got a full article. It's not the biggest article - think of it more as a starter than a full feature - but it's interesting enough for what it is.Light Manipulation
Those who have a source of inner light to draw on can learn to manipulate it and cause various effects. This is most commonly seen used by celestials with an innate aura of light, creatures from the Positive Energy Plane and creatures with the Nimbus of Light feat. However, any creature who emits an innate source of light could learn these with the right time and training.
OverviewLight manipulation is known by many names. Celestials call it Alaire, which translates to 'Gift of Light'. Amid humans it is known as light manipulation or radiance manipulation, while the elves call those with it Shaoth (for males) or Shaothi (for females), which translates to 'Sungate'. Dwarven has no meaningful name for it, as the ability is rare even amid dwarves with the ability and will to research such magic. Most other languages use one of those names as a loan word or refer to it purely in derogatory fashion, such as most fiendish languages.
Regardless of the name used, light manipulation can be used by any creature with an innate source of light to manipulate. This must be an ability that is always active or at-will, though the ability to suppress it is acceptable. Spells and spell-like abilities are not eligible for this, even if they are permanent. Examples of abilities that qualify are the Nimbus of Light exalted feat or the energy halo of a quesar. While there is no alignment requirement, the vast majority of creatures who learn these arts are good-aligned or natives to the Positive Energy Plane.
Some creatures may be depicted or described as being surrounded by light at times without an explicit ability that does so. It is left to the DM to decide which or any such creatures should qualify to potentially learn these abilities. Generally, creatures who would have a thematic tie to light, such as celestials or natives of the Positive Energy Plane, are suitable choices.
RulesAny creature with the proper ability can conceivably learn light manipulation. Aptitude varies from person to person, not every creature with the potential has the needed talent to learn them at anything beyond a glacial pace. Additionally, merely having the talent does not mean you will learn them due to the training time involved. The DM may decide if a creature has a natural talent for light manipulation or may decide randomly. To randomly determine if a creature has natural talent, roll 1d100. A result of 95 to 100 means the creature is naturally gifted in light manipulation and can learn it easily. Other creatures require vast amounts of time and practice, often several centuries of exceedingly difficult work. As such, these abilities are far from universal, even in creatures who all have the potential to learn them.
A creature that has the talent to learn easily can learn light manipulation in weeks, days or even within a few minutes if they're particularly well suited to it. The exact rate varies, but all are learned on a scale fast enough to make learning them viable in all but the shortest campaigns.
Additionally, the feat Gift of Light may be taken if those without natural talent wish to learn these abilities quickly. Otherwise, the training time needed is usually beyond the scope of a campaign's timescale.
A creature who learns the abilities quickly discovers power is needed to fuel them. One can manipulate light without that, but a sacrifice of power is required for most abilities to work. Sacrificing a spell per day is the most common, though variants exist that use hit points and other finite resources. Variants are left to the DM's discretion.
Reading the EntriesUse is the application of light manipulation. This provides a name for the ability, further details can be found under that ability's description.
Cost is the level of spell sacrificed to power the ability. A cost of free means there is no cost and it may be used freely.
If an application of light manipulation allows a saving throw, it is 10 + level of spell sacrificed + your Charisma modifier. All applications are standard actions unless noted otherwise.
Additional uses of light manipulation exist, these are the most common.
Table 1.1: Light Manipulation
Use | Cost |
Clothing of Light | Free |
Weapon Creation | 2nd |
Magic Weapon Creation | 4th |
Blinding Light | 5th |
Searing Light | 7th |
Clothing of Light
You can cover your body with light as a form of modesty and clothing. It is not actual clothing, but blinding light that hides what is beneath it. It can be applied to your body as you see fit, but it has no other impact on creatures nor causes them any penalty.
Weapon Creation
You create a semi-solid melee weapon of light. It can be any non-magical weapon you please and is treated as a normal, non-masterwork version of that weapon. As the weapon vanishes when it leaves your hand, only melee weapons can be made this way. The weapon lasts for as long as you hold it.
Magic Weapon Creation
You create a melee weapon of light identical to weapon creation, except it is a +1 weapon. Additionally, you may choose to add one of the following properties to it: bane (evil outsiders or undead only), flaming or holy.
Blinding Light
You cause your light to surge and overwhelm the eyes of a creature within 30ft. This permanently blinds them unless a Fortitude save is passed.
Searing Light
You are surrounded with a burst of burning light that deals 10d6 points of damage to all evil creatures within 30ft. A Fortitude save halves this damage.

Prerequisite: Able to learn light manipulation, cha 13
Benefit: You have natural talent with light manipulation and learn it swiftly.
A PrC for an NPC in B3. This is a take at a paladin/monk prestige class, one that blends both classes into a whole, as well as getting powers inspired by both of them. It's aimed to be a solid PrC that ties the classes together. It's meant to be a good PrC but not overwhelming.
As a side note, there's no note about monk and paladin being able to multiclass and come back to those classes, as I generally ignore those. If you don't, add one.Blessed Hand

Monk and Paladin Abilities (Ex)
A blessed hand's class level stacks with his paladin and monk level for the following abilities: unarmed damage, flurry of blows, AC bonus, unarmored speed bonus and lay on hands. This does not grant the blessed hand these abilities if he do not already have them.
Smite Evil (Su)
This is identical to the paladin ability of the same name. Daily smites from blessed hand and paladin stack, and the blessed hand adds his blessed hand level to his paladin level to determine the total extra damage of his smites.
Ki Strike (Good) (Su)
A blessed hand's unarmed attacks count as good aligned to overcome damage reduction.
Armored Monk (Ex)
At 3rd level, light armor no longer interferes with a blessed hand's monk abilities. Any ability that cannot be used in armor can now be used freely in light armor, such as a monk's AC bonus.
At 6th level, the blessed hand can use his monk abilities with medium armor, including shields. This includes evasion, which can normally be used only in light armor.
At 9th level, the blessed hand can use his monk abilities in any armor and when encumbered.
Diamond Hands (Su)
The blessed hand now adds his Wisdom modifier to his Charisma modifier before multiplying it by his paladin level to determine the total hit points he can heal per day by lay on hands. For example, a blessed hand with a total paladin level of 10, a Wisdom score of 16 and a Charisma score of 18 would be able to heal (3+4)*10=70 hit points per day.
Smiting Flurry (Su)
A blessed hand's greatest ability is to combine a monk's flurry of blows and a paladin's smiting into one powerful whole. As a swift action when you make a flurry of blows attack, the blessed hand may expend one use of smite evil. All of his attacks in the flurry of blows gain one half of the bonus damage that the smite would deal. This bonus lasts until the end of the flurry of blows. All the normal rules for smite evil still apply, so if a non-evil creature is attacked, they do not suffer any extra damage and the smite is wasted.
At 10th level, the flurry of blows also gains one half of the bonus the smite would add to the attack roll.
Diamond Aura (Su)
This is identical to a paladin's aura of courage, except it grants the paladin immunity to poison and allies within 10ft gain a +4 morale bonus to saving throws against poison.
Tongue of the Sun and Moon (Su)
This ability is identical to the monk ability of the same name.

Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain an animal companion.
Benefit: You gain a sacred bonus equal to 1/4th of your ranger level (minimum 1) to saving throws and armor class.

Special: An epic battle master may substitute epic fighter feats to the battle dancer's epic feat list in place of feats related to battle dances.
I've never felt the need to make Eastern themed regions in my worlds if they don't fit, and it never felt like it fit in Balmuria. Still, occasionally something like ninja sees use so here's a basic progression for an epic ninja. It could have a bunch more custom feats, but this is mostly covering a base I may need covered later.
By the way, ninjas are houseruled to have sneak attack instead of sudden strike, since it's strictly better than sneak attack and sneak attack already has enough issues being used. That's why it's sneak attack instead of sudden strike, the progression's the same regardless. Just change the name if you need sudden strike.Epic Ninja

For those odd class combinations where poison use isn't viable for the ninja, or for a character who doesn't want to deal with it. It's frankly not that interesting an ability and it is on purpose, to cover those who don't want something fiddly to upkeep like poisons. Sometimes you want a simple +1 in a build rather than yet another option or ability to manage.
Alternate Class Feature: Ninja Strike
You eschew poisons for your own reasons, instead choosing to maximize your effectiveness with traditional ninja weapons.
Class: Ninja.
Level: 3rd.
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain poison use.
Benefit: Choose a weapon you are proficient in from your levels in ninja. You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls with that weapon.
At 9th level and every 6 levels thereafter, this bonus increases by 1. Additionally, you may select another qualifying weapon that the bonus applies to.

Dragonfire Wrath (Su)
At 1st level and every three levels thereafter, the dragonfire knight gains another daily use of dragonfire wrath and the fire damage it deals rises by 1d8 damage.
Dragon's Energy (Su)
Levels in dragonfire knight stack with paladin to determine your daily temporary hit points from dragon's energy.
Dragontouched
A 2nd level dragonfire knight gains dragontouched as a bonus feat. If you already have this feat, you may select another feat that you qualify for. If you already have the dragonblood subtype or have the dragon type, you may select another feat that you qualify for.
Initiate of Seira
At 3rd level, a dragonfire knight gains initiate of Seira as a bonus feat. If you already have this feat, you may select another feat that you qualify for.
Searing Dragonfire (Su)
A 5th level dragonfire knight's dragonfire wrath ability is treated as searing. This means that the fire damage ignores fire resistance and deals half damage to creatures immune to fire.
Dragon's Vigor (Su)
A dragonfire knight's vigor is without compare, as is her hope that today will be better than yesterday. At dawn when the dragonfire knight gains temporary hit points from her dragon's energy ability, she gains the benefits of a panacea spell (caster level equal to her hit dice).
Dragon's Resilience (Ex)
At 8th level, a dragonfire knight becomes more resilient against sleep and paralysis, much like a true dragon. They gain a +2 bonus to saving throws against sleep and paralysis effects, this stacks with the bonuses from the dragontouched feat.
Dragon's Hope (Su)
At 9th level, when the dragonfire knight gains the benefits of dragon's vigor, she may instead choose to have it affect a living creature within 100ft. That creature also gains that day's temporary hit points from dragon's energy instead of the dragonfire knight.
Powerful Flames (Su)
At 10th level, a dragonfire knight's dragonfire wrath becomes even more formidable. The damage dice rises to d10s. For example, a dragonfire knight who deals 5d8 fire damage with dragonfire wrath would now deal 5d10 fire damage.

Epic Shapeshifting (Ex)
Dragonheart shapeshifter levels stack for shapeshifting. The enhancement bonus of your natural weapons in shapeshift may exceed +5. Once that bonus becomes +6 or higher, those natural weapons count as epic to bypass damage reduction.
Draconic Ravager
At 1st level the dragonheart shapeshifter can take the form of a dragon four size categories larger than himself, up to a maximum of Colossal. The dragonheart shapeshifter can choose what type of dragon they will transform into. This may be any true dragon the caster knows of. Once this choice is made, it can't be changed.
While in draconic ravager form, the draconic ravager can use a breath weapon. This deals 1d6 points of energy damage per shapeshift level and the DC is 10 + 1/2 hit dice + Constitution modifier. For example, a druid 21/dragonheart shapeshifter 5 with a Constitution score of 20 deals 26d6 damage with his breath weapon and has a DC of 28. The type of energy damage varies depending on the type of true dragon chosen. This matches the true dragon's breath weapon if applicable. For example, a dragonheart shapeshifter who chose a silver dragon deals cold damage. If the true dragon chosen does not have a breath weapon that deals energy damage, choose the energy type that most fits the true dragon. For the sake of this ability, energy damage is acid, cold, electricity, fire or sonic damage.
This breath weapon may be used at will, but requires 1d4 rounds to recover between uses.
While in draconic ravager form, the draconic ravager gains a primary bite attack that deals 4d8 points of damage and two secondary claw attacks that deal 4d6 damage, two secondary wing attacks that deal 2d6 damage and a secondary tail slap that deals 4d6 points of damage. The bite uses the draconic's full Strength modifier to determine damage, the claws and wings use half of his Strength modifier and the tail slap uses 1.5 times the draconic ravager's Strength score to determine damage.
The draconic ravager gains immunity to the energy type of his breath weapon.
The draconic ravager gains reach for a long creature of his size.
The draconic ravager can also choose to crush an opponent or series of opponents under its weight if it chooses to land on them. This functions as the crush ability of true dragons.
The draconic ravager gains a +20 enhancement bonus to Strength, a +6 enhancement bonus to Fortitude saves, and its natural armor bonus improves by 20. Land speed becomes 60ft and it gains a fly speed of 250ft (clumsy).
At 3rd level, the draconic ravager gains the Flyby Attack and Multiattack feats as bonus feats while in draconic ravager form, even if he would not normally qualify for it.
Dragon Power (Ex)
At 2nd level and every two levels thereafter, the dragonheart shapeshifter unlocks a secret of draconic power. He may choose one of the following benefits. Unless stated otherwise, each ability can only be selected once. These abilities only function while in draconic ravager form.
Arcane Fortitude
The draconic ravager gains spell resistance equal to 25 + his dragonheart shapeshifter level.
Draconic Immunity
The draconic ravager gains immunity to paralysis and sleep effects.
Draconic Senses
The draconic ravager gains the keen senses and blindsense special qualities of true dragons.
Frightful Presence
This functions as a true dragon's frightful presence special quality. The radius of this ability is equal to 30ft x dragonheart shapeshifter class level. The save DC is 10 + 1/2 hit dice + Charisma modifier.
Improved Breath
The recovery time between uses of the draconic ravager's breath weapon is reduced by 1 round. This ability may be selected up to four times.
Overwhelming Breath
The damage of your breath weapon rises by one die step (1d6 becomes 1d8, 1d8 becomes 1d10 and 1d10 becomes 1d12). This ability may be selected up to three times.
Ravager's Might
The draconic ravager's enhancement bonus to Strength increases by 4. This ability may be selected more than once.
Serrated Teeth
The draconic ravager's bite attack now threatens a critical hit on a roll of 18-20.
Toughened Hide
The dragonheart shapeshifter's natural armor bonus increases by 2. This ability may be selected more than once.
Dragon Soul (Ex)
At 10th level, the dragonheart shapeshifter's nature becomes more draconic, merging with his natural form. His type changes to dragon and he gains immunity to the energy type his draconic ravager form is at all times, not only when in draconic ravager form. He may use his breath weapon in any form. Finally, like any true dragon, the draconic ravager no longer suffers any penalties for aging and cannot die of old age. Any previously existing penalties are removed, though any bonuses are kept.
The dragonheart shapeshifter may choose to keep his previous type instead. If he does, he only gains immunity to his draconic ravager's energy type.
Bonus Feats
The dragonheart shapeshifter gains a bonus feat at level 5 and every 5 levels thereafter.
Automatic Metamagic, Energy Resistance, Enhance Spell, Epic Spell Focus, Epic Spell Penetration, Epic Spell Capacity, Fast Healing, Ignore Material Components, Improved Combat Casting, Improved Metamagic, Intensify Spell, Magical Beast Companion, Multiaction, Perfect Health, Permanent Emanation, Spell Stowaway, Spell Opportunity, Spontaneous Spell, Tenacious Magic.

You can now push past the bounds of magic missile altogether. You can now produce up to six missiles with magic missile at caster level 11th. This stacks with bonus missiles from force missile mage.
At 3rd level and every 2 levels after, you gain an additional missile. This is seven missiles at caster level 13th at 3rd level, eight missiles at caster level 15th at 5th level and so forth.
Piercing Missiles (Ex)
At 2nd level, your magic missiles are harder to resist. They gain a +2 bonus to caster level checks to overcome spell resistance. This bonus rises by 2 at level 6 and every 4 levels thereafter.
Missile Might (Ex)
At 3rd level, you gain a +1 bonus to the caster level of magic missile. This bonus rises by 1 at 6th level and every 3 levels thereafter.
Greater Piercing Missiles (Ex)
At 4th level your magic missiles now ignore certain defenses. Your missiles overcome a spell immunity or greater spell immunity spell that selected magic missile, as well as globes of invulnerability (lesser and normal). Your missiles even deal normal damage to creatures immune to force damage, such as a force dragon.
Superior Thesis (Ex)
Your skill with magic missile exceeds even that of a normal wizard focused on that spell alone. You now subtract two levels from any metamagic applied to magic missile instead of one from your arcane thesis feat. For example, a quickened and maximized magic missile spell would be a 4th level spell, +2 levels for quickened and +1 for maximized. All other limitations of arcane thesis apply.
Innate Missiles (Sp)
You now know magic missile enough to cast beyond the bounds of normal magic. You gain magic missile as a spell like ability usable at will, with a caster level equal to your hit dice. The benefits of force missile mage and this master of missiles also apply, when applicable to a spell-like ability instead of a spell.
Immediate Missiles (Ex)
At 10th level you are able to throw magic missiles around whenever you like. Twice per day, you may cast magic missile as an immediate action. This rises by 2 uses per day at 20th level and every 10 levels thereafter.
Bonus Feats
A master of missiles gains an epic bonus feat at level 5 and every 5 levels thereafter.
Bonus Feats
Automatic Metamagic, Enhance Spell, Epic Crafting, Epic Spell Capacity, Epic Spell Focus, Epic Spell Penetration, Extra Missiles, Familiar Spell, Ignore Material Components, Improved Magic Missiles, Improved Metamagic, Intensify Spell, Natural Missiles, Permanent Emanation, Spell Stowaway, Spontaneous Spell, Tenacious Spell.
Extra Missiles [Epic]
Prerequisite: Magic Missile Mastery
Benefit: You now produce another missile when you cast magic missile. This is identical to magic missile mastery, raising the number of missiles you can produce by one and the caster level needed to do so by 2. For example, a caster who can produce up to 6 missiles at caster level 11th can now produce up to 7 missiles at caster level 13th.
Special: You may select this feat more than once. Its benefits stack.
Improved Magic Missiles [Epic]
Prerequisite: Missile Might
Benefit: You gain a +1 bonus to the caster level of magic missile. This stacks with the bonus from missile might.

Benefit: In place of a melee attack, you may use your magic missile spell-like ability when a creature provokes an attack of opportunity from you.
This class is designed for celestials to go right into. It's ideal for a planetar, a hound archon hero or similar celestials. It gives various holy themed powers and ways to grow for them, including various class features that they normally can't get. It's better in gestalt, obviously.Angelic Champion

Heaven's Gift (Su)
At level 1 and every four levels thereafter, an angelic champion receives a gift from the Heavens. She may select any one of the following gifts.
Favored Enemy (Evil)
The angelic champion gains favored enemy (evil). This is identical to the ranger ability of the same name, except it applies to evil creatures. The bonus is +2.
This gift may be selected more than once. Each time it is selected, the bonus for favored enemy (evil) rises by 2.
Smite Evil
The angelic champion can smite evil. This is identical to the paladin ability of the same name, except that the bonus to hit is +4 and the bonus to damage equals the angelic champion's hit dice. This ability may be used once per day. If the angelic champion can already smite evil, the uses do not stack. Track the different smite evils separately.
This gift may be selected more than once. Each time it is selected, another daily use of smite evil is gained.
Inspire Heroes
The angelic champion sings a song of courage and heroism, one that inspires the righteous. As a standard action, the angelic champion may sing to grant all good aligned allies that can hear her a +2 sacred bonus to attack rolls, weapon damage rolls and saving throws. This is treated as bardic music otherwise. Inspire heroes may be augmented by the words of creation feat, doubling the benefits of it and inflicting 4d4 points of nonlethal damage to the angelic champion. Inspire heroes lasts for as long as the angelic champion is heard and five rounds after.
The angelic champion must have at least four ranks in Perform (Song) to select this gift.
This gift may be selected more than once. Each time it is selected, the bonus granted by the song rises by 1.
Bonus Feat
The angelic champion may select an exalted feat as a bonus feat. She must meet all the prerequisites of that feat.
This gift may be selected more than once. Each time it is selected, the angelic champion gains another bonus feat.
Heavenly Endurance (Ex)
At 2nd level, an angelic champion is supported by the energies of the Heavens. This grants the angelic champion a bonus to hit points equal to her class level times two.
Divine Health (Su)
At 3rd level, an angelic champion gains immunity to diseases of all kinds. This is identical to the paladin class feature of the same name.
Holy Domain (Ex)
A 4th level angelic champion gains access to a domain, a reward for her steadfast service and loyalty. She may choose one domain from the following list: Charity, Chastity, Generosity, Good, Humility, Patience, Temperance and Zeal.
At 8th level, the angelic champion gains a second domain from the same list.
Holy Magic (Ex)
The angelic champion's magic is purified, resulting in magic that radiates goodly power. All of the angelic champion's spells gain the good descriptor. She removes any spells with the evil descriptor from her spell lists, she no longer has access to them.
Regeneration (Su)
A 6th level angelic champion is almost impossible to put down for good. She gains regeneration equal to her class level. For example, an 8th level angelic champion has regeneration 8. The angelic champion takes lethal damage from evil aligned weapons and spells with the evil descriptor. If the angelic champion has pre existing regeneration, she adds her class level to her existing regeneration instead.
Divine Grace (Su)
This ability is identical to the paladin ability of the same name.
Angelic Power (Ex)
At 10th level, the angelic champion reaches a new apex of power. All of her spells, spell-like abilities, extraordinary abilities and supernatural abilities gain a +2 sacred bonus to their DCs.
The concept of adjusting the barrier between an elemental or ethical force in a creature is not a new one, if one rarely explored. This is a powerful art for certain, yet one that is never safe and never without drawback. Souls simply aren't meant to do this, and while it can be done, there are always consequences. For most who accidentally do that to themselves, death is almost always the result.
Yet a rare few can ride this border, with the rarest of rare able to channel incredible power from it, albeit at a price. Madalanis are a reclusive sect of marid who have succeeded in doing so, the secrets kept for millions and millions of years and slowly, achingly honed. It is a vocation that can has a high failure rate, even for epic characters, with the few who truly learn the skills of a madalani coming forth with undeniable power. A master madalani bard can boost themselves to unimaginable heights, blowing past opponents that challenged them moments ago.
Suffice to say, great ability for Constitution or Charisma is a popular feat choice for madalani.Madalani

Bardic Music
Levels in madalani stack with bard to determine all aspects of your bardic music, including daily uses of bardic music, the total bonus of inspire courage and the total targets affected by inspire greatness or inspire heroics.
Melody of Water (Su)
The madalani consider water and music to be one in the same, water an endless melody that ranges from a torrent to a stagnant pool, but never ends. As water is also life to the marid, this in turn creates a triune meaning to madalani, where music is water and water is life, so thus life is music. This triune is directed inward, as what is a marid if not water? With this inner focus, they use their bardic music to empower themselves, a key to unlock the power of water within.
The benefits of melody of water apply whenever the madalani is under the effects of their own bardic music and end when they are no longer affected by their bardic music. Unless noted otherwise, the benefits of melody of water stack with the benefits of bardic music. The madalani gains all of the benefits of melody of water that she has access to, she does not need to choose between them.
Melody of water is not without risks. Channeling into one's inner essence is far from a safe endeavor. When a madalani ceases to be affected by their own bardic music and the benefits of melody of water fade, they must make DC 30 Constitution check. Failure results in 1d4 points of ability burn to Constitution. Success results in only 1 point of ability burn to Constitution. Multiple instances of ability burn from melody of water stack. This ability burn cannot be prevented in any way, and even affects the creature if they are otherwise immune to ability burn. A creature with a Constitution score of 0 (null) cannot use or benefit from melody of water.
A madalani can choose not to gain the benefits of melody of water when they use bardic music, and thus suffer no ability burn. This choice is made each time the madalani uses bardic music that affects them.
Flow
At 1st level, the madalani's movements become as forceful as a raging storm while they are one with the music. They add their Charisma modifier as a bonus to attack rolls and weapon damage rolls.
Surge
At 2nd level, the madalani's music brings together the eternal flow of water with the essence of life to represent the new growth rains bring. They gain fast healing equal to their Charisma modifier.
Gush
At 3rd level, the madalani's music has the sudden haste of a cloudburst. They add their Charisma modifier as a bonus to initiative checks.
Rain
At 5th level, the madalani's music lets them move through the skies as the rains do. They may use their swim speed as their land speed. They may fly at a speed equal to their swim speed with perfect maneuverability.
Depths
At 6th level, the madalani's melody allows them to be as strong and impassible as the deepest depths of the ocean. They gain their Charisma modifier as a bonus to armor class as well immunity to critical hits and precision damage.
Ripple
At 7th level, the madalani's song makes them move with the same outward grace as a ripple in a still pond. They gain a +30ft bonus to all modes of movement and do not trigger attacks of opportunity by moving.
Trickle
At 9th level, the madalani's life is more than it should be, enhanced. They gain temporary hit points equal to their hit dice. These temporary hit points replenish each round at the beginning of the madalani's turn.
Rise
A master madalani's melody of water enhances them in all ways possible, making failure a distant memory. They no longer automatically fail rolls on a natural 1.
Bonus Feats
A madalani gains an epic bonus feat at level 4 and every 4 levels thereafter.
Bonus Feats
Automatic Metamagic, Deafening Song, Epic Inspiration, Epic Spell Capacity, Epic Reputation, Epic Skill Focus, Flood, Group Inspiration, Hindering Song, Improved Combat Casting, Improved Metamagic, Inspire Excellence, Madalani's Skill, Polyglot, Ranged Inspiration, Rapid Inspiration, Reactive Countersong, Spell Stowaway

Telekinetic Focus (Ex)
The telekinetic master's telekinesis becomes virtually unstoppable. She gains a +1 bonus to the save DC of telekinesis. This bonus stacks with other bonuses to DC, such as from spell focus (transmutation).
At 4th level and every 3 levels thereafter, the bonus to the DC of telekinesis rises by 1.
Greater Force (Ex)
The telekinetic master can move far more weight than a typical spellcaster. She can move up to 50 pounds per caster level with telekinesis, such as with the sustained force or violent thrust usage of telekinesis. Additionally, she no longer has a maximum of 375 pounds that she can move, the only limit is what her caster level provides her. For example, a telekinetic master with a caster level of 25 can move up to 1250 pounds.
At 7th level and every 5 levels thereafter, the amount of weight that can be move per caster level rises by 25. This is 75 pounds per caster level at level 7, 100 pounds at level 12 and so forth.
Telekinetic Blast (Ex)
At 5th level, a telekinetic master can throw anyone close to her away like leaves on the wind. As a standard action, the telekinetic master may use the violent thrust usage of telekinesis on all creatures within 100ft of herself. This sends them flying in the opposite direction to you, relative to where they are. Creatures that hit a solid surface take 10d6 points of damage, as if they had fell 100ft, instead of 1d6 points of damage. The telekinetic master can choose to exclude individual creatures from this blast.
A creature targeted by this is allowed a Will save and spell resistance, as normal. Using this ability requires telekinesis to be active on the telekinetic master.
Mass Fling Skyward (Ex)
The telekinetic master can throw many creatures skyward at once. This is identical to the fling skyward class feature of the master of the unseen hand, except it can affect up to one creature per caster level. All creatures affected must be in the range of telekinesis but do not need to be close together.
Crushing Blow (Ex)
When the telekinetic master uses the violent thrust usage of telekinesis (including telekinetic blast), they can choose to crush their enemies with the same force that sends them flying. This deals 1d6 points of damage per two caster levels. This only applies if the Will save against violent thrust is failed, no damage is taken on a successful save. The normal effects of violent thrust still apply, this damage is in addition to it as well as any damage they suffer for striking a solid surface or any other damage taken as a result of violent thrust.
Telekinetic Overload (Ex)
Once per day, the telekinetic master can overcharge a single casting of telekinesis. This casting gains a +5 bonus to caster level and DC of any saves. Additionally, any weight limits to the spell (such as using the sustained force or violent thrust usages of telekinesis) have their weight limit increased by a factor of ten. For example, a telekinetic master who can move up to 1250 pounds can move up to 12500 pounds for this casting of telekinesis.
Bonus Feats
A telekinetic master gains an epic bonus feat at level 3 and every 3 levels thereafter.
Bonus Feats
Automatic Metamagic, Epic Crafting, Enhance Spell, Epic Spell Focus, Epic Spell Penetration, Extra Telekinetic Overload, Familiar Spell, Improved Fling Skyward, Improved Spell Capacity, Ignore Material Components, Improved Combat Casting, Improved Metamagic, Intensify Spell, Permanent Emanation, Spell Stowaway, Spell Opportunity, Spontaneous Spell, Superior Telekinetic Force, Tenacious Magic.

Improved Fling Skyward [Epic]
Prerequisite: Fling Skyward
Benefit: You fling creatures skyward with vast force. A creature you fling skyward now takes 1d8 points of damage per 10ft fallen. This damage is no longer limited by the maximum falling damage.
Normal: A creature takes 1d6 points of damage per 10ft fallen. The maximum damage for this or any fall is 20d6 damage.
Superior Telekinetic Force [Epic]
Prerequisite: Greater Force
Benefit: Double the amount of weight you can move with telekinesis, such as with the sustained force or violent thrust usage of telekinesis.
Special: You may select this feat more than once. Its benefits stack. Remember that two doublings equal a tripling and so forth.

The DC is equal to your caster level + 10. A creature only makes one Balance check per round, no matter how many squares of silverfrost it passes through.

Flames are not wholly destructive. In fact, some in Creation hold them as symbols of purification. One such sect of Kossuth's clergy developed this prestige class, which has spread across Fire in the fullness of time. It's one of those odd little things that pops up from the elemental planes. For elementals, efreet and other natives of Fire, there's no real drawbacks to this PrC. Creatures that aren't resistant or immune to fire rather stridently disagree with that, of course.
It's mostly used by natives of Fire and other planes where immunity to fire is the norm. Otherwise, the occasional cleric or even healer who uses healing spells primarily against the undead will take this, as burning cure is essentially a free caster level boost and a free damage booster against the undead. That's part of why there's no alignment prerequisite - some people sincerely use this for good ends, albeit either because fire doesn't hurt their patients or the undead need to burn.
Mechanically it's an odd duck of a PrC with a rough two feat buy in, but in return is 5/5 and gives some okay benefits. It's best when the drawbacks are mitigated somehow.Flame Healer

Class Skills
The flame healer's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Heal (Wis), Knowledge (Arcana) (Int), Knowledge (History) (Int), Knowledge (Planes) (Int), Knowledge (Religion) (Int), Profession (Wis) and Spellcraft (Int).
Skill Points at Each Level
2 + Intelligence modifier
| Level | Base Attack Bonus | Fortitude Save | Reflex Save | Will Save | Special | Spells |
| 1 | +0 | +2 | +0 | +2 | Cauterize wound | +1 divine |
| 2 | +1 | +3 | +0 | +3 | Burning cure (+1/+1d6) | +1 divine |
| 3 | +2 | +3 | +1 | +3 | Fire domain | +1 divine |
| 4 | +3 | +4 | +1 | +4 | Burning cure (+2/+2d6) | +1 divine |
| 5 | +3 | +4 | +1 | +4 | Burn it out | +1 divine |
Cauterize Wound (Su)
As a swift action, the flame healer can stabilize a dying creature by cauterizing their wounds. This deals 1 point of damage to the creature, but they immediately become stable if they survive this damage. They begin to recover hit points naturally, even if recovering without help. This ability may be used at will.
Burning Cure (Su)
At 2nd level, the flame healer can increase the power of her healing spells by adding a little fire. At will whenever she casts a spell of the healing subschool, she can cause this spell to deal 1d6 points of fire damage to any creature affected. In turn, the caster level of the spell increases by one and the spell gains the fire descriptor.
At 4th level, she can choose to increase the damage to 2d6 points of fire damage. If she does, the caster level rises by two.
Fire Domain
A 3rd level flame healer gains access to the fire domain, including the granted power of that domain.
Burn it Out (Su)
A master flame healer can cause a deluge of flame to purify all around her. Twice per day as a standard action, she may cause flames to erupt within 20ft of her. All creatures within that range suffer 10d6 points of fire damage, but are cured of the following conditions: ability damage, ability drain, confused, cowering, dazed, energy drain, exhausted, fatigued, frightened, nauseated, panicked, paralyzed, shaken, sickened and stunned. Any frostburn damage the creature suffers from at the time they are affected by burn it out can be healed or recovered from normally, regardless of the temperature.
A creature who wishes to avoid the flames may do so with a Reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 hit dice + Wisdom modifier) to negate the damage. A creature that succeeds on the saving throw does not gain any of the benefits from burn it out. Creatures that are resistant or immune to fire damage do benefit from it, however, even if they take no damage from burn it out.
This ACF allows the Red Knight's paladins to become Intelligence based. This is something I don't believe exists otherwise, so they do pay for the privilege. I personally think this is interesting for a few builds but not fundamentally that great. The concept of 'tactical paladin who uses his brain rather than Charisma' is a possible character niche to explore.
Alternate Class Feature: Red Mind
Paladins who follow the Red Knight hone their mind to a razor keenness, replacing charisma with sheer intellect.
Class: Paladin
Deity: The Red Knight
Level: 4th
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain channel energy.
Benefit: You may use your Intelligence modifier in place of your Charisma modifier for paladin class features, including spellcasting.
Alternate Class Feature: Tactical Acumen
The Red Knight's scouts can watch and gain great insight on how to defeat even the strongest enemy.
Class: Scout
Deity: The Red Knight
Level: 4th
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain a bonus feat at 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th or 20th level.
Benefit: You are at your best when you have time to scout and watch the enemy. When you spend at least one minute watching an enemy unobserved, you gain a +2 insight bonus to attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, initiative checks, armor class and saving throws against those enemies. This bonus lasts until the end of the encounter.
At 8th level and every 4 levels thereafter, the bonuses rise by 1.
For when being a charger needs more spice.
Alternate Class Feature: Line Breaker
The Red Knight's tactics have honed you into a line breaker, the cavalry that pierces enemy lines and leads to breakthroughs.
Class: Knight
Deity: The Red Knight
Level: 5th
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain shield ally or improved shield ally.
Benefit: You add your knight level as a bonus to weapon damage rolls when you charge.
At 14th level, any weapon you wield is treated as a valorous weapon, dealing double damage on a charge. This doesn't stack with the valorous weapon special property.
These are intended for Lixer's cornugon Necrolytes, one of two options to make the lich transformation not a dead capstone for the class. I rarely change out capstones, but this case requires it due to the quirks of dread necromancer.
Alternate Class Feature: Necrolyte
These fell fiends serve Lixer, the new Lord of the First and Archdevil of Undeath, and gain greater power over the dead.
Class: Dread Necromancer
Deity: Lixer
Level: 20th
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain lich transformation.
Benefit: You double the number of hit dice of undead you can control by command undead. Undead you command gain a +4 morale bonus to attack and damage rolls.
The second option for the Necrolytes. They can choose whichever they prefer if they make it that far.
Alternate Class Feature: Lichfiend
Fiends who serve Lixer can become undead, but in a slightly different way than normal creatures do.
Class: Dread Necromancer
Deity: Lixer
Level: 20th
Special Requirement: You must be an outsider with the evil subtype to choose this alternate class feature.
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain lich transformation.
Benefit: You gain the lichfiend template (LM pg 157). You do not need to meet the prerequisite of five spell like abilities for it. You add your Charisma modifier in place of your (now non existent) Constitution modifier to determine bonus hit points.
A prestige class for the factotum who dabbles in the ways of good. It's slightly unfocused as is the nature of the factotum, but it provides a variety of holy themed abilities.
Also to say it flat out: What the text at the end of the capstone means is don't be abusive with the ability. Spamming factotum abilities is fine and expected with it, but not making infinite loops or infinitely large numbers with it. In other words, if it feels abusive, then don't do it. I don't think there's anything in factotum that can do that besides cunning surge, but it's possible something in one of the factotum PrCs I've made could be troublesome. Consider this a preemptive warning and clarification.Perfectus

Factotum Abilities (Ex)
A perfectus' class level stacks with his factotum level for the following abilities: arcane dilettante, inspiration and opportunistic piety.
Exalted Dilettante (Ex)
You are granted greater insight into sanctified magic, the blessings of the Heavens inspiring you. You may now select sanctified spells as well as sorcerer/wizard spells for arcane dilettante.
Channel Energy (Su)
At 2nd level, your knowledge of channeling energy becomes far deeper. You gain the channel energy ability of a good aligned cleric. Your factotum level stacks with your perfectus level for the sake of channel energy. Likewise, it stacks with any other classes that grant channel energy. You no longer need to spend inspiration points to channel energy. You lose your opportunistic piety ability, though this does not negatively affect your ability to qualify for this class.
Exalted Inspiration (Su)
You train your inspiration through heavenly revelation, granting you greater feats of inspiration against the wicked. Whenever you use your cunning insight, cunning knowledge or cunning defense ability against evil, the bonus granted rises by one. At 7th level the bonus granted increases to two.
Generally, you have to use your ability directly against an evil creature, evil spell or other evil thing to gain this bonus. Using cunning insight to boost an attack roll against a barbazu would grant this bonus, but it would not grant a bonus against a mindless, neutrally aligned golem he was fighting against. Cunning knowledge would grant its bonus if you used a skill against evil creatures, such as attempting a Hide check to hide from a succubus. Non evil creatures that fight with evil creatures are not subject to this.
Cunning Energy (Ex)
At 4th level, you can use your Intelligence modifier in place of your Charisma modifier to determine your daily uses of channel energy as well as the save DC for it.
Cunning Save (Su)
A perfectus values others as is the nature of good, and learns how to save them when the chips are down. This is identical to a factotum's cunning dodge ability, except it only costs 2 inspiration points to use and may not be used on yourself, but instead on any adjacent creature.
At 10th level, you may use cunning save two times per day.
Cunning Paragon (Su)
At 6th level, you know how to stand as a paragon to inspire others. As a standard action, you may spend 2 points of inspiration to grant all allies a +2 perfection bonus to attack rolls, skill checks and saving throws for one round.
Holy Magic (Ex)
With greater learning of the ways of holiness, formerly impossible magic becomes possible. You may select spells of the good domain for arcane dilettante, even if they are not normally on the sorcerer/wizard spell list. These spells are spells of the level they are in the good domain.
Quick Energy (Ex)
At 9th level, you can spend 1 point of inspiration when you channel energy. If you do, that use of channel energy is a swift action.
Perfect Inspiration (Su)
At 10th level, all the glory above resonates within you, and for a few brief moments you can capture some of the glory in yourself, a tidal wave of inspiration that drives you. Once per day as a free action, you can channel this inspiration. Until the beginning of your next turn, your have infinite inspiration points.
The infinite inspiration points from this ability do not apply to any ability that would grant extra actions in battle, or any ability that could create arbitrarily large numbers through applying inspiration points.

Arcane Knowledge [Epic]
Prerequisite: Arcane Dilettante (6 spells), int 23
Benefit: You gain an additional two spells per day with Arcane Dilettante.
Special: You may select this feat more than once. Its benefits stack.
Arcane Mastery [Epic]
Prerequisite: Arcane Dilettante (6 spells), int 25
Benefit: Select two spells from an arcane spell list that do not appear on the sorcerer/wizard spell list. You may now prepare these two spells with Arcane Dilettante. You may not select a spell of a higher level than you can cast with Arcane Dilettante.
Aura of Inspiration [Epic]
Prerequisite: Source of Inspiration, cha 25
Benefit: Your inspiration is like an aura, affecting all those close to you. This functions as Source of Inspiration, except as noted here. All allies within 30ft gain the benefit of your inspiration. Doing this is extraordinarily taxing and requires an additional 6 points of inspiration per use, on top of what the ability already costs.
Epic Font of Inspiration [Epic]
Prerequisite: Font of Inspiration, int 19
Benefit: Your maximum inspiration rises by four points.
Special: You may select this feat more than once. Its benefits stack.
Improved Cunning Insight [Epic]

You may give the benefit of the following abilities to any ally within 30ft: Cunning Insight, Cunning Knowledge, Cunning Defense, Cunning Strike and Cunning Breach. You use your Intelligence or Factotum level where appropriate to determine bonuses from these abilities, not the target's. Using inspiration in this way is intensive and requires an additional 3 points of inspiration per use, on top of what the ability already costs.
Alternate Class Feature: Commanding Knight
A particularly commanding knight may surpass the norm and encourage his allies to far greater heights.
Class: Knight
Level: 6th
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain shield ally or improved shield ally.
Benefit: You may select a single minor aura from the marshal's list of auras. You may project this aura as a marshal of your knight level.
At 14th level, you may select a second minor aura from the marshal's list of auras. You may still only manifest one minor aura at a time.
Alternate Class Feature: Shield Warrior
A knight's shield is not just a tool of defense, but the weapon that shatters his foes.
Class: Knight
Level: 2nd
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain mounted combat as a bonus feat.
Benefit: You gain improved shield bash as a bonus feat. You gain proficiency with all shields, including tower shields.
Alternate Class Feature: Shield Champion
Every blow of a knight's shield weakens the resolve of his enemies and strengthens his own.
Class: Knight
Level: 4th
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain test of mettle.
Benefit: Whenever you successfully deal damage to a creature with a melee or ranged attack with your shield, you gain a +2 morale bonus to saving throws and armor class, while your target suffers a -2 morale penalty to saving throws and armor class. These penalties last until the beginning of your next turn.
At 10th and 16th level, the bonus and penalty both increase by 1.
This one's a little different due to the nature of epic warmage and how epic magic works for us. A preset list isn't desirable
Epic Warmage
By and large, the epic warmage provided in Complete Arcane is sufficient for this campaign. Make the following substitutions:
- Epic warmages gain base attack bonus at the same rate as an epic wizard.
- Advanced learning does not continue into epic for the epic warmage.
- Substitute campaign appropriate feats in place of banned epic feats, such as automatic metamagic in place of automatic silent spell and epic crafting in place of the various epic item crafting feats.
- Replace the spell section with the following:
Spellcasting
At 21st level and every level thereafter, the epic warmage's spellcasting improves. His caster level increases as normal. Further, once the epic warmage obtains the Epic Spell Capacity feat, he gains spells of 10th level and higher. Unlike non epic casting, the epic warmage has no spell list for spells of 10th level or higher. Instead, he may choose 2 spells at each level. These spells may be of any level from 10th level to the highest level of spells he can cast. These spells are added to his spell list and may be cast normally. The epic warmage's spells per day use the same table as epic sorcerers.
The spells chosen must fit one of the following criteria:
The spell is an evocation that appears on the sorcerer/wizard spell list.
The spell fits the warmage based on their spell list for non epic spells.
Epic warmages do not gain spells known from level 21 and on until they obtain the Epic Spell Capacity feat. Once they do, they gain any spells they would have gained from level 21 onward.
The intent of this system is to allow warmages to build their own spell list of a size suitable to the spell selection a warmage gets, within the bounds of the non epic spells they can learn. Care must be taken to prevent abuse, such as by dual school spells that have one school as evocation.
This ACF is an option for devout knights who follow the new Triad. It's a splash of immunities in place of armor mastery. I personally think fear immunity's much better than armor mastery, but I could see situations where it's otherwise.
Alternate Class Feature: Order of the Sainted Blade
Some knights trade skill with armor for a shield forged of faith.
Class: Knight
Deity: Helm, Ilmater or Tyr
Level: 4th
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain armor mastery (medium) or armor mastery (heavy).
Benefit: You gain an aura of courage identical to a paladin's. At 9th level you gain divine health, also identical to the paladin ability of the same name.
A swift action for an untyped +4 save booster is excellent stuff, though it's buried 8 levels into knight and requires giving up call to battle. Oh, and serving Dispater, so it's more of a neat toy for them than anything else. This is posted as an example of an ACF I might make for the bad guys.
Alternate Class Feature: Iron Resolve
A knight loyal to Dispater gains ways to instill the strength of iron into his allies.
Class: Knight
Deity: Dispater
Level: 8th
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain call to battle.
Benefit: As a swift action, you can expend one use of your knight's challenge ability to instill the strength of iron into a single ally. This grants a +4 bonus to saving throws until the beginning of your next turn.
For the lightning inclined knights of Barachiel.
Alternate Class Feature: Order of the White Rose
Knight sworn to Barachiel are born of thunder and lightning, and strike with that same force.
Class: Knight
Deity: Barachiel
Level: 5th
Replaces: If you select this alternate class feature, you do not gain bonus feats at 5th, 10th or 15th level.
Benefit: As a swift action, you can expend one use of your knight's challenge ability to cause a melee weapon that you hold to crackle with lightning. You deal an extra 1d6 points of electricity damage with that weapon until the end of your next turn. At 10th, 15th and 20th level, the damage rises by 1d6. This damage stacks with other sources of electricity damage, such as that from a shock weapon.

Levels in focused hunter stack with ranger for all aspects of favored enemy. If you don't have any levels in ranger, you are treated as a 1st level ranger and gain a favored enemy as normal.
Favored Fearlessness (Ex)
At 1st level, the focused hunter is empowered, no longer afraid of what she fights against. She gains immunity to any fear effect from her favored enemies. She is still subject to fear effects from creatures who are not her favored enemies.

Azure Enmity, Favored Dodge, Favored Power Attack, Hunter's Insight, Intimidate The Enemy, Nemesis, No Threat To Me, Tactical Advantage.
Dispelling Shot (Su)
Starting at 3rd level, the focused hunter can make a dispelling shot. This is a standard action and may be any ranged or melee attack against a favored enemy. If it hits, the favored enemy is treated as being affected by a targeted dispel magic. The dispel modifier equals your hit dice and may exceed the normal cap for dispel magic.
Hunter's Grace (Su)
At 4th level, the focused hunter adds her Wisdom modifier (if positive) to any saving throws against the attacks of her favored enemies. This applies to anything a favored enemy does that would provoke a saving throw.

Once per day at 5th level, the focused hunter may take 10 on a single attack roll, saving throw or check against a favored enemy. At 9th level she may use this two times per day.
Greater Dispelling Shot (Su)
At 6th level, the focused hunter's dispelling shot becomes far more powerful. Favored enemies hit by dispelling shot are treated as being affected by a targeted greater dispel magic. All other aspects of dispelling shot remain the same.
Favored Freedom (Su)
By 7th level, the focused hunter cannot be held down by her favored enemies. She is treated as being under a freedom of movement spell at all times, except only against her favored enemies.
Fatal Strike (Ex)
The focused hunter's strikes are devastating to her favored enemies. She deals maximum damage with melee or ranged attacks against her favored enemies.
Bane (Su)
At 10th level, the focused hunter's wrath is felt in every blow she makes against her favored enemies. Any weapon she wields against her favored enemies is treated as a bane weapon against them. This stacks with a bane weapon, the bane of enemies epic feat and similar abilities.

Light of Life (Ex)
You are filled with the vitality of living creatures, bolstering your health. You gain 5 hit points per class level in this class. This stacks with the bonus hit points you gain from a high Constitution score.
Sun Spells (Ex)
Your mastery of sun magic grows, granting you greater flexibility with its magic. You add the spells of the sun domain to your cleric spell list. This means you may prepare those spells as a cleric spell of the appropriate level, as well as your domain spell.
Vivacious Power (Ex)
At 3rd level, your spells are far more receptive to vivacious magic and power. A sun domain spell modified with vivacious spell now only uses a spell slot two levels higher than the actual spell's level. This applies first and stacks with similar abilities, such as the improved metamagic epic feat.
At 6th level, this benefit applies to all spells, not just spells of the sun domain.
At 9th level, any spell you cast from the sun domain may have vivacious spell applied spontaneously, with no increase to the spell level or casting time. This applies to any spell from the sun domain, no matter if you cast them as a domain spell, a normal cleric spell or another type of spell.
Greater Sun Devotion (Ex)
At 7th level, your connection the sun grows stronger. You add your level in this class to the additional damage your weapon deals to undead while under the effect of sun devotion. For example, a 35th level character who is also a 10th level sunweaver would deal a total of 45 extra points of damage per attack against the undead.
Sunweaver (Su)
At the peak of your mastery of sunlight, you gain the ability to weave sunlight into your magic. Three times per day, you may declare a spell a sunweave spell. A sunweave spell can't be a spell that has the darkness descriptor. A sunweave spell gains the light descriptor. A sunweave spell may spontaneously have vivacious spell applied to it, as if it was a spell from the sun domain. Finally, the spell deals extra damage to undead equal to the additional damage from sun devotion, including the benefits of greater sun devotion.
Bonus Feats
A sunweaver gets a bonus feat at level 5 and every 5 levels thereafter.

This pattern continues, as 10th level allows you to also choose a large elemental, 15th level a huge elemental and 20th level a greater elemental.

Phoenix's Mercy (Sp)

Mind Over Matter (Su)
A warrior of the mind is trained in the use of various mental tricks and minor psionic flares to defend themselves, and you have studied those lessons well. You gain a bonus to armor class equal to your Intelligence modifier.
Should your power points drop to less than 50% of your maximum, you lose this bonus until you recover sufficient power points to put you above 50% of your maximum power points. At 5th level this limitation is overcome and you have this bonus regardless of your total power points.
Physical Mastery (Su)
Your mind and body work in unison, which allows you to master physical pursuits above your the limits of your body. You gain a +2 bonus to all Strength, Dexterity and Constitution checks and skill checks. This bonus increases by 2 to +4 at 7th level.
If you choose to expend your psionic focus, you may double this bonus to any one check or skill check.
Matter Over Mind (Su)
Your mind's power is vast, and intimately connected to your physical body. You have learned to mix the two, and in this you can use your mind to save your body. As a swift action you may expend power points. You heal hit points equal to double the power points spent this way.
At 8th level you may instead use this ability as an immediate action.
Psioinic Body
At 4th level you gain psionic body as a bonus feat. If you already have this feat, you may choose another.
Physical Rejuvenation (Su)
So long as your power points are at their maximum, the excess restores your body's vitality. Whenever you are at your maximum power points, you gain fast healing 2.
Mental Rejuvenation (Su)
At the apex of your power, your body's good health feeds the power of your mind. So long as you're at maximum hit points, you recover 1 power point per minute.
Should you suffer any ability score damage, ability score drain or a wound that cannot heal (such as vile damage), this ability is inactive, even if you have maximum hit points otherwise.
A new PrC, most likely for Anne in the future. It's strong, but most healing focused classes/PrCs tend to be when I write them. That's intentional. This can make channel energy fearsome at 10th level, but at that point you're nearly in range of mass heal, which outdoes it in most ways.
This PrC is a creation of Jetina and her followers. It's not restricted to them, but it does come with a fitting alignment restriction as a result of that. Anyone who wants this class is welcome to it as far as Jetina's concerned, the alignment prerequisite keeps it set on channel positive energy rather than someone perverting it into channeling negative energy instead.Lifespark

Channel Energy (Su)
A lifespark's class level stacks with any other classes that grant channel energy. A 10th level cleric/1st level lifespark channels energy as an 11th level cleric, for example.
Improved Radius (Ex)
As a lifespark delves into the secrets of positive energy, she learns how to propel that energy further and increase the area channel energy affects by 10ft. At 3rd level and every two levels thereafter, the area increases by an additional 10ft. Should the lifespark have any other means to increase the area of channel energy, these effects stack.
Selective Healing (Ex)
A 2nd level lifespark can direct the energy she channels so that it aids her allies and not her enemies. She may exclude any creatures she wishes from the effects of her channel energy.
Greater Channeling (Ex)
As a lifespark grows in skill, so does the potency of their channel energy ability. At 4th level, she increases the die of her channel energy ability by one step. This goes in progression from d4 to d6 to d8 to d10 to d12. If the lifespark already has a d12, she instead converts each d12 to 2d6 and repeats this pattern (2d8, 2d10, 2d12). For example, a cleric 5/lifespark 4 would normally channel energy for 5d6, but with this they'd channel for 5d8 instead.
At 9th level the lifespark again increases the dice of her channel energy ability by one step.
Healer's Grace (Ex)
At 6th level, the lifespark's channel energy ability encompasses even herself. She gains the benefits of channel energy when she uses it. She may choose to exclude herself from the effects if she wishes.
Rejuvenation (Ex)
When the lifespark channels energy, her power heals deeper injuries. For each die of channel energy, 1 point of ability damage is restored. For example, a lifespark who heals 5d6 points of damage with channel energy would heal 5 points of ability damage. The lifespark may choose how this healing is distributed for each creature affected.
Maximized Channeling (Ex)
An advanced lifespark's channel energy is far more powerful than that of a lesser lifespark. The result of any use of channel energy is maximized. The results of empower turning apply afterwards as normal. For example, a lifespark who heals 10d6 points of damage with channel energy would heal 60 points of damage, then 90 after empower turning is applied.
