Shadow Classes: Shadowdancer

Shadowdancer

            “If you thought you saw something in the corner of your eye, then I am ashamed for doing such a poor job.”

            The threats of the Shadowfell are varied, so much so that the regular methods of defence are sometimes rendered useless. How does one defend a small city against a numberless zombie horde?

            A grudging truth that the Doomguard brotherhoods will admit is that their numbers are not great enough to launch an all-out war against the undead of the Shadowfell. Sometimes, more subtle means are needed.

            A Shadowdancer is a being who has mastered the art of manipulating shadows to find the most advantageous position on the battlefield. Some rely solely on stealth, using the shadows as portals to assassinate a target and slip away. Others take a more direct approach, charging headlong into battle to cause mayhem amongst enemy lines, before teleporting away for another assault.

            Whatever their method, a Shadowdancer’s greatest asset is their Shadow. Their Shadow is alive, and, although silent, will often reflect their owner’s emotional state, or steal things of their own accord. With it, they can perform daring acts of acrobatics, turn a gentle caress into a gut-slashing stroke, and escape from impossible situations.

            Although there are others that can act quicker or run faster than them, a Shadowdancer’s manoeuvrability is unrivalled. It only takes one Shadowdancer to create a problem for single enemies or massed forces, and that problem will be abused maliciously by any Doomguard entering the fray.

Class Features

Shadow of the Shadowfell (1st level)

Your Shadow is alive. It shares your space on the board, your defences, and has 1hp. Your Shadow cannot be targeted by single target enemy attacks. If you are attacked by an area, burst or blast attack, your Shadow is targeted by the attack as well. A missed attack never damages your Shadow. Your Shadow cannot exist in engulfing light where there is no shadow, such as a desert or an open courtyard at midday. Your Shadow counts as destroyed if you enter such light. If your Shadow is destroyed for whatever reason, you can reconstitute it by spending one minute in meditation.

If your Shadow is active, you access key abilities;

v     You can perform one minor action, such as a mid-combat observation skill check, or drawing or stowing an item, as a free action once per turn.

v     Your Shadow can lift 15lb of items, but can never use the items as weapons.

v     Once per turn, as part of an advanced attack or full attack action, your Shadow attacks one target you hit. The shadow deals 1d6 damage, and deals an additional 1d6 damage for every 5 levels of Shadowdancer you have.

Shadowdance (1st level)

You know how to Shadowdance. Whilst Shadowdancing, you gain a +1 bonus to speed per tier. As a move action whilst Shadowdancing, you may teleport up to half your speed so long as there is a shadow adjacent to you that is not your own. You can perpetuate your dance for as many rounds per day as your Acrobatics skill +4.

Schools of Darkness (1st level)

Choose one of the following schools. Once this choice has been made, it cannot be changed.

Banshee: You gain proficiency with the Longsword. Whilst you are Shadowdancing, enemies adjacent to you suffer a penalty to attack rolls equal to your CHR modifier. When you make an attack with your Shadow, you deal extra damage equal to your STR modifier.

Ghost: Your Shadow counts as an independent creature. It can glide your current speed, and has HP equal to your bloodied value, although missed attacks can now harm it. It heals to maximum health during a short rest. Your Shadow can now carry 30lb of equipment, and shares your skill list. It is an insubstantial creature, and gains an additional Resist Force equal to your CHR modifier. You must be adjacent to your Shadow or an enemy your Shadow is adjacent to in order to activate Shadow attacks. Your Shadow acts when you act, and cannot travel more than 20 squares away from you.

Poltergeist: When you fall from a height, you treat the fall as if it were 10 feet shorter than it actually is. Whilst Shadowdancing, your base movement is reduced by 3, but you may walk on air as if it were solid ground, and the maximum distance of your teleport remains unhindered. If you are stunned, dazed, or rendered unconscious whilst standing or fighting in midair, you plummet to the ground at a rate of 60 feet per round. If you regain your mental faculties before you hit the ground, you can spend a move action to resume Shadowdancing and stop falling. When you attack with your Shadow, you may re-roll the damage die for your Shadow attack only.

Raven: You gain the Raven Queen's Blessing Channel Divinity power. Whilst Shadowdancing, you can move over surfaces that would not otherwise support your weight, such as water, acid, or lava, and difficult terrain, but you cannot run over air. You do not suffer damage from running over these surfaces, but ending your turn over these surfaces means you fall into them. There is an exception; you can, if you make a double move action to Run twice, continue to run over a period of several turns without stopping, allowing you to cross things such as a body of water. When you make an attack with your Shadow against a bloodied target, you gain a bonus to your attack rolls equal to your INT modifier.

Spectre: The critical threat range of Daggers you wield increases by 1. While you Shadowdance, any teleport move you make turns you insubstantial until the end of your next turn. When you make a full attack action with your Shadow, your Shadow attack deals an additional INT modifier damage on a critical hit for every Shadow damage die you have.

Scorpion: You gain proficiency with the Rapier. You Mark targets you attack with your Shadow. Whilst Shadowdancing, you gain a bonus to AC equal to your CHR modifier. If a marked target damages you, you may teleport to a square adjacent to the target as a free action.

Spider: You gain Two Weapon fighting as a bonus feat. While you Shadowdance, you gain Spider Climb equal to your INT modifier. When you make a full attack action with your Shadow, you can slow the target you hit.

Wraith: You can hide in plain sight, so long as there is sufficient shadow near you, excluding your own. Whilst Shadowdancing, when you make a successful Stealth check to hide, you become invisible until you move. Like other forms of invisibility, this grants you a +10 bonus to Stealth checks to remain hidden. When you attack with your Shadow, the target of the attack suffers ongoing bleed damage equal to your STR modifier.

             

Dance Steps (2nd level)

At 2nd level, and every 2nd level thereafter, you may choose a Dance Step from the following list. Unless otherwise mentioned, you can only take a Step once.

Advancing Footsteps: Increase your Speed by 1 whilst Shadowdancing. You can take this Step multiple times to a maximum of 3 times.

Attunement: Increase the number of rounds you can perpetuate your Shadowdance by 2. You can take this Step without limit.

Breakneck Charge: Increase your speed whilst charging and Shadowdancing by your STR modifier.

Bend Distance: When you are hit with an attack that deals damage on a miss, you only take 1/4 damage instead of 1/2 damage.

Catch the Edge: When you throw a Dagger as part of a ranged attack, you can catch it with the hand you threw it.

Combat Dilettante: You gain a Combat Feat you meet the prerequisite for.

Dancer's Finesse: You gain the Weapon Finesse feat.

Dark Destiny: Your Shadow attacks deal an additional 1 point of damage per damage die.

Dark Destroyer: Your Shadow damage die size rises by 1.

Dark Reaping: Your Shadow attacks gain the Brutal 1 trait.

Defending Shadow: If you are hit by a single target attack, and your Shadow is adjacent to you if you belong to the Ghost school, you can opt to have your Shadow become the target of the attack instead.

Evade the Light: You gain a +2 bonus to Reflex. You can take this step multiple times, each one adds +1 Reflex.

Fast Stealth: Whilst Shadowdancing, you suffer no penalty to Stealth checks to move at full speed.

Freedom of Form: As part of your teleport action, you can stand up or fall prone.

Graveyard Stand: If you recover from the dying status, you may stand up as a free action as soon as you regain consciousness.

Harrowing: If your Shadow is destroyed for whatever reason, you gain a +2 bonus to your attack and damage rolls until the end of your next turn.

Kill the Light: As a minor action whilst Shadowdancing, you can snuff out all minor sources of light in the room you currently stand in, but not magical light.

Lightwalker: The environmental requirements to activate your abilities are reversed; to summarise, you work at your best in bright light instead of pitch darkness.

Multidirectional Defence: Whilst Shadowdancing, you do not grant combat advantage to one pair that is flanking you.

Nighteyes: You gain Low-Light vision. If your race choice already has that, you gain Darkvision instead.

Retaliate!: You gain a bonus to your Initiative roll equal to your INT modifier if you are ambushed.

Rogue Relations: You gain a Rogue talent you qualify for from the Rogue Talent list.

Shadow Mending: As a free action, you can destroy your Shadow to spend a healing surge.

Shadow Stitching: Requires Shadow Mending. After you use Shadow Mending, you gain Regeneration equal to your STR modifier.

Single Edge Slaying: Whilst you wield a Light Blade in one hand and your other hand is free, the critical threat of the weapon rises by 1.

Single Edge Parry: As part of an advanced attack action, you gain a +2 bonus to AC while you wield a light blade in one hand and your other hand is free.

Trap Training: You gain the Trap Finding Feat from the Rogue feat list.

Twin Blade Attack: Whilst wielding two Daggers, you gain a +1 bonus to all melee damage rolls.

Twin Sword Dervish: Whilst wielding two Shortswords, you gain a +1 bonus to AC and opportunity attack rolls.

Underhanded Jump: When you teleport to leave a square adjacent to an enemy, enemies adjacent to the square you left suffers a penalty to their next attack roll equal to your INT modifier.

Vestige of Faith: You learn either Lolth's Strike, Olidammara's Jump, or Sehanine's Retrbution as a Channel Divinity power. You do not have to worship the God in question, but your alignment must be one step from that of the god's.

Wisp Dodge: Whilst Shadowdancing, the first single target ranged attack against you in the encounter, weapon or magical, suffers a penalty to hit equal to 2x DEX your modifier.

Advanced Steps

At 10th level, you add the following list to the steps you can learn.

Advanced Single Edge Slaying: Whilst you wield a Light Blade in one hand and your other hand is free, the critical threat of the weapon rises by 1.

Advanced Single Edge Parry: As part of an advanced attack action, you gain a +2 bonus to AC while you wield a light blade in one hand and your other hand is free.

Advanced Twin Blade Attack: Whilst wielding two Daggers, you gain a +1 bonus to all melee damage rolls.

Advanced Twin Sword Dervish: Whilst wielding two Shortswords, you gain a +1 bonus to AC and opportunity attack rolls.

Blood and Wit: You gain Skill Focus as a bonus feat. You may take this step multiple times, with no limit.

Break the Light: Requires Kill the Light. As a minor action whilst Shadowdancing, you can snuff out all minor sources of light in the room you currently stand in, including magical light.

Enduring Shade: Once per encounter, when your Shadow is destroyed by an attack, it survives with 1 hit point.

Fallingdown: Whilst Shadowdancing, you fall from great heights at a rate of 60ft per round, and you suffer no damage when you land.

Gloaming Cut: As an advanced attack action, you can inflict ongoing damage to the target equal to your INT modifier.

Lethal Jump: When you teleport to leave a square adjacent to an enemy, enemies adjacent to the square you left grant combat advantage until the beginning of their next turn.

Ranged Legerdemain: You can perform Thievery and Disable Device checks from 6 squares away. Your Shadow must be active for you to use this ability, and you cannot take 10 or 20 for these skill checks. Any object manipulated must be able to be carried by your Shadow.

Resist Blindness: If an effect Blinds you, you may make an immediate saving throw against the effect.

Ride the Twilight: You can destroy your Shadow to gain a +20 bonus on your next Acrobatics or Jump check, and your jump distance is not limited by your speed.

Shadow Image: As a standard action, you can destroy your Shadow to create false images of yourself. The number of false images is equal to the number of Shadow damage die you have. Your images move in your turn, and may move as you are able to. The images have your defences -5, but disappear if struck. They cannot attack. The images are only visual effects. They make no sound or offer no smell, and leave no traces. Enemies suffer a -5 penalty to Perception checks for every image you have active for attempts to spot you.

Slaughter: Once per day as a full attack action whilst Shadowdancing, you can teleport, if able, to an enemy within teleport range and make one of your attacks per round against it. You may keep teleporting and attacking with this action, so long as there is at least one enemy remaining and you have unused attacks per round.

Trick the Trap: If you trigger a single target trap, you can redirect the attack to your shadow before the attack is rolled.

Voracious Edge: If you score a critical hit with a melee attack, you can use your Shadow attacks on the target of the critical hit, even if you didn't make an advanced attack action or a full attack action.

At 20th level, you may choose one of these three steps to learn instead of one from the previous lists. You can only ever learn one of these 20th level steps.

Perfect Darkness: As a standard action, you can extinguish all light from a room you currently occupy, even magical light. If something is aflame, such as an Efreet or a burning item, the subject still burns, but emits no light. Whilst Shadowdancing, any target you strike in total darkness becomes blinded and rattled (save ends).

Perfect Janus: Your Shadow cannot be destroyed by bright light. It now takes one full round action to reactivate your shadow instead of one minute of meditation. The amount of weight your shadow can carry rises by 5lb, and the damage die size of your shadow attacks rises by 1. When you score a critical hit, the maximum damage is also applied to your Shadow attacks.

Perfect Shadowjump: Whilst Shadowdancing, you can teleport up to your original movement speed.   You do not have to see where you want to teleport to in order to make the move so long as you have seen it before, however, if you try and the space is occupied, the move fails, but the action is still consumed. If you grab a target, ally or enemy, while you teleport that target teleports with you.

Shadow Classes: Doomguard

Doomguard

 

            “This is my hurt, my madness, my unrequited hatred! This is my power, and I am coming for you.”

            At the dawning of the world, the Primordials took the parts of it that were too bright to allow creation, and flung them aside. To keep the balance, they took the aspects of the world that were too dark, and threw them away. The brightness and the darkness culminated in parodies of the world, known as the Feywild and the Shadowfell. Although the Feywild is dangerous, it is a world of light, magic and verdant power. The Shadowfell is not so blessed.

The Shadowfell is the plane that all dead spirits pass into before they ascend, fall, or disappear into the Outer Realm. Here, the darkness of the plane twists the weak willed into ghosts, or the horrors force them to become monsters that wreak havoc on those few that dwell there.

There is no true sanctuary, and it is in this hopeless world that the Doomguards hail from. The brotherhoods of the Doomguards perform the role of protection, but theirs is not the joy of battle of a Fighter, or the dedication of a Paladin. Doomguards are nihilists, knowing that, in time, all will be destroyed. In turn, the only way keep that which matters in tact is to destroy everything else. They have no qualms with hiring Shadowdancers as assassins, or striking an unarmed man. A Doomguard’s prerogative is the survival of those under his protection, and any Doomguard worth their salt will not stop to think of morals or shy away from any foe they face.

Each Doomguard is initiated into a brotherhood by a certain rite of passage. The rite involves having the animus, that which binds the soul to the body, carved out with a knife made from Ghost Iron and bound into a weapon of the initiate’s choosing. The weapon is forever part of them. The more the Doomguard grows into his role, the more crooked and vicious his weapon will become, granting him almost unrivalled power with which to cause suffering to his foes. However, this Hideous Weapon is both a constant reminder of his duties, and the darkness that lies in the hearts of all beings.

In truth, many of the dreary occupants of the Shadowfell are as much afraid of the brotherhoods as they are of the countless undead of the plane. Although an undead beast is only monstrous after death, the Doomguard brotherhoods represent monstrosity in the living.

Class Traits

¨      Role: Doomguards are nihilistic, brutal warriors. They choose a target and squash its powers with the aim of crushing it before it can threaten anyone else, whilst being extremely resistant to more exotic forms of attack.

¨      Alignment: Any.

¨      Power Source: Shadow

¨      Key Abilities: Strength, Constitution, Intelligence.

¨      Armour Proficiencies: Light, Medium and Heavy Armour. Light shields and Heavy Shields.

¨      Class Skills: Appraise, Climb, Endurance, Handle Animal, Jump, Knowledge (Dungeoneering), Knowledge (Planes) Knowledge (Religion), Profession, Ride, Sense Motive, Swim.

Class Features

Scorn (1st level)

As a minor action, one target within three squares of you becomes the target of your Scorn. Targets of your Scorn are Marked. As a Standard Action, you can target 2 enemies as your Scorn. As an Advanced action, you can target 3 enemies as your Scorn.

If an adjacent target of your Scorn shifts, you may shift a number of squares as a free action equal to 1/2 of your CON modifier.

If an adjacent target of your Scorn hits an ally with an attack that doesn't include you, the target takes damage equal to the damage it inflicted to your ally.

The Hideous Power (1st level)

At 1st level, you choose a Hideous Weapon. This weapon is chosen from one weapon you have proficiency with. The Hideous Weapon is imbued with your soul's animus, the bond that ties the soul to the body. This bond is both a gift and liability to the Doomguard; if you are separated from your Hideous Weapon, you die. The maximum distance, in miles, and the number of hours you can remain separated is equal to your level. If you are ever slain, save for old age, your Hideous Weapon counts as a body part for the sake of resurrection spells. If the Hideous Weapon is ever broken, you can repair it with a touch, so long as you have at least a shard of metal of the blade.

The Hideous Weapon counts as a magical weapon, although it can never be augmented or destroyed by a crafting check. Equally, the Hideous Weapon only activates its power for you. Anyone else wielding it gains no benefit, and it is treated as a mundane weapon until you retrieve it again. At 2^nd level and every 4^th level thereafter the Hideous Weapon adds a +1 to its enchantment bonus to a maximum of +6.

Brotherhood (1st level)

As a Doomguard, you belong to a group of like minded individuals known as a Brotherhood. Each Brotherhood gives a unique bonus to your Scorn. Choose one of the following groups to join. Once the choice has been made, it cannot be changed.

The Breaking Spirit: Against targets of your Scorn, you use CON as the modifier for your melee attack and damage rolls.

The Burning Chain: Targets of your Scorn cannot shift.

The Cracking Sky: Targets of your Scorn with an Immortal, Elemental, or Aberrant background suffer a penalty to all defences equal to 1/2 your INT modifier.

The Damning Love: Targets of your Scorn suffer a -1 penalty to saving throws.

The Encroaching Denial: You gain a bonus to AC equal to your CON modifier against the target of your Scorn.

The Flowering Hatred: Targets of your Scorn grant Combat Advantage to you.

The Hungering Doom: Targets of your Scorn suffer a penalty to all skill checks equal to your level.

The Shining Darkness: You gain a bonus to damage rolls against the target of your Scorn equal to your INT modifier.

The Weeping Father: The target of your Scorn is knocked prone when hit by your opportunity attacks.

The Creeds (2nd level)

At 2nd level and every 4th level thereafter, choose a Creed for the Doomguard to follow. The selection of Creeds to choose from increases as you grow in level.

2nd level

No Corruption Shall Blemish My Glory: You are immune to the effects of diseases. You can still contract them and pass them on to others.

No Demon Shall Avoid its Fate: You gain a bonus to damage rolls against Elementals equal to your Hideous Weapon's proficiency bonus + any magic weapon bonuses it has.

Death Bares Victory: When you reduce an enemy to 0 hit points or fewer, you gain temporary hit points equal to your level.

Duty Requires Discipline: You do not sleep. Instead, you need only to remain inactive for 4 hours a day to benefit from an extended rest. Whilst inactive, you are aware of your surroundings and can react to them normally

Innocence Proves Nothing: As an advanced attack action, you can make a basic melee attack. If the attack hits a target, all enemies that can see you become Rattled until the end of your turn.

.

Might Makes Right: Add your STR modifier to Diplomacy, Bluff, Intimidate and Sense Motive skill checks.

14th level

My Despair Shall Be Stifled: You can reroll failed saving throws any number of times in a turn, but at a cumulative -1 penalty for every attempt. The penalty resets at the beginning of your next turn.

Primal Classes: Totemic

Foreword

            Many of the game rules and class designs are drawn from existing editions of D&D and Pathfinder. Many of my 'new' classes take aspects of previous ones or more awkward Prestige classes, tweaked to work together in ways that they otherwise shouldn't. Faustian is an example of this, as is Inquisitor, Paladin and, to a lesser extent, Monk. Although Chronarch and Shadowdancer only have a passing resemblance to their D&D counterparts, I think it's safe to say there are very few truly original classes in the Providence line up. There have been experiments, mind you, including Summoner (far too many templates, and worked as a campaign-specific class rather than something that could be applied anywhere), Judge (a mishmash of rules, combat systems and contradicting ideas, although it did provide the template for at least 10 other classes) and the short-lived Gunslinger/Corsair.

              Totemic does not fall into this category of hodge-podge class brewing. Totemic is the 20th, potentially final, base class in Providence, and i'll admit shamelessly that none of the ideas, role or indeed any of the fluff were written by me. It is a completely unique class, drafted, tested and designed by my friend, Tom. In his own words, it does something that no other class does, which is true. All of my close friends know I have a particular disdain for Primal classes across all of the editions, and a shapechanging expert is not something I would've concocted on my own.

             Tom has worked long and hard on Totemic, and the sheer extent of the different abilities present in the Totemic's arsenal is evidence of this. Although I have taken his original draft and reorganised it to fit better into Providence's established order, the core of the class is still the same, with each individual animal form keeping much of its individuality, even if the Providence layout doesn't use a pre-existing set of templates.

            On a similar note, it would be grotesquely selfish to proclaim all of this work as my own. In addition to the above mentioned sources, both Tom and my friend Andy have provided months of work, support, and a good old slap if the occasion calls for it. Tom's most recent contribution was the Totemic, but he's done everything from providing class and spell ideas to writing parts of the feats lists. He is also the designer of the Providence character sheet, and (somehow) made it so that all of the heavy calculation is done by Microsoft excel. On top of all that, he's the go-to guy for finding lesser known games that he never fails to fire my way, such as things like Diplomacy or the Call of Cthulu.

            Andy has a love for gameplay systems, as shown in his blog, http://subspaceemissary.blogspot.com/. He writes on a myriad of relevant topics from videogaming to boardgaming, and was kind enough to make a post about nothing but my blog. He's the biggest finder of loopholes, and has easily headhunted the greatest number of problems within the Providence system.

            I think it would be safe to say that Providence wouldn't be anywhere close to the state it is in right now if it weren't for these two heroes, and I can only hope that they'll keep helping me free of charge for the foreseeable future! Then again, if Providence began turning a profit...

               Below is both versions of Totemic. The first is the Providence re-write, and reads in much the same way as previous class entries. The second is the original copy, complete with Animal templates. Both of these versions can be used with Providence, although the latter of the two can easily be used for d&d 3.5 or Pathfinder.

Totemic

“Bear no false hope by standing against me. You are merely a paper tiger. I am not.”

            The soul of an animal is no less potent than that of an intelligent being; Totemics would argue moreso, as their natural instincts live on past their death. Instead of trailing away into the Shadowfell, and eventually the halls of the Raven Queen, animal spirits linger in the world a little while longer, before being drawn into the bosom of Providence herself. In this time of limbo, animal spirits are drawn together through their instinct, and follow individuals of great strength of will, or are invoked by primal rituals. These individuals are Totemics.

            Totemics are shapeshifters that take on the form of one or many animals. A druidic sect unto themselves, they recognise the value in both Greater Spirits and the spirits of the common animal from which they inherit strength. By drawing on these totem spirits, a Totemic can be an unpredictable force on the battlefield; they are at once breaking the enemy with the charge of a buffalo, the next tearing enemies apart with the claws of a lion, before flying away on a hawk’s wings.

            As Totemics become more adept at wielding their primal power, their totem spirits become more alive with each transformation, thus allowing the Totemic to manifest powers that the spirit once had in life.

There are dangers to their art, however. An unfortunate few can be overpowered by their totem spirits, the will to live and sensation of a willing body strangulating all autonomy of the host. These poor souls live a pseudo-life, trapped between instincts and understanding after succumbing to the beast within.

Class Traits

¨      Role: Totemics manipulate animal forms to fill a variety of specific roles.

Class Features

            Totemic Realms (1^st level)

            Totemics hail from wildernesses the world over, and it is rare that any two from the same region are the same. Pick one Realm from the list below. Once this choice has been made, it cannot be changed.

Aquatic Realm: The length of time you can hold your breath is not reduced by standard actions. The DC for an hour of prolonged swimming is reduced to 10. You gain a +2 bonus to Fortitude.

Desert Realm: You do not need to make Endurance checks to resist the effects of hot weather. Once per day, you can reroll failed Endurance checks to resist the effects of thirst. You gain a +2 bonus to Fortitude.

Jungle Realm: You gain a +5 bonus to Stealth checks to hide from sight. Once per day, you can reroll one Survival check and take either result. You gain a +2 bonus to Reflex.

Mountain Realm: You do not need to make Endurance checks to travel in rough terrain over a long period of time, but this does not stop you making Endurance checks to resist lengthy travel as a whole. You can survive on half of the regular food intake needed for a creature of your size. You gain a +2 bonus to Fortitude

Savannah Realm: You can survive on half of the regular food and water intake needed for a creature of your size. You automatically pass the first two Endurance checks required to resist the effects of starvation and thirst. Once per day, you can reroll one Survival check and take either result. You gain a +2 bonus to Reflex.

Temperate Realm: You gain 1 additional Hit Point at 1^st level and every level thereafter. You gain a +5 bonus to your passive perception. You gain a +2 bonus to Reflex.

Tundra Realm: You do not need to make Endurance checks to resist the effects of cold weather. Once per day, you can reroll failed Endurance checks to resist the effects of hunger. You gain a +2 bonus to Fortitude.

One with Nature (1^st level)

            You feel the pull of nature more than others, and you can communicate with its inhabitants. Whilst in Totemic Form, you can talk freely to animals. This power does not predispose an animal to you in any way, and many tend to be wary of strangers. Equally, some animals are notoriously stupid, and may be no help to you whatsoever. If you speak to an animal in the same genus as your Totemic Form, you gain a +5 bonus to Linguistics checks.

            At 11^th level, you can use this power in your humanoid form.

            Totemic Form (1^st level)

            Totemics have the power to channel the totem spirits of animals to temporarily adopt their form.

As a standard action, you can assume a Totemic Form. When you transform into your Totemic Form, your items become a part of your body. You still gain the bonuses of your magic weapons, armour and accessories whilst in this form, including any special abilities or masterwork material that these items possess. These bonuses and masterwork bonuses apply on your melee attacks. You cannot use any spells bound to your magic items in this form, nor can you use Wondrous Items. You cannot access any container you have on your person while in Totemic Form.

As a standard action, you can assume your humanoid form. You do not have to transform into your humanoid form before switching Totemic Forms, you may switch between them freely.

Whilst in Totemic Form, your statistics, Hit Points, Skills and other ability scores remain the same, although you cannot speak the languages you know, with the exceptions listed in the form entries below. The entries contain the form’s size, speed, the ability score used to calculate attack and damage rolls, the form’s natural attacks, and the skill bonuses the form provides. In addition, each form comes with a free selection of Totemic Gifts from the Totemic Gifts class feature.

The size of all Totemic Forms begins at Medium; certain forms, such as Rodents and Ursidae, come with the Greater and Lesser Totemic Gifts as standard, which alters their size at 1^st level.

Many Totemic Forms have a different Speed score to your humanoid form, or incorporate an alternate movement mode into their profile.

Due to the nature of the Primal magics at work of a Totemic’s transformation, it is not always STR that decides how lethal a Totemic Form’s strikes are. The entry here is used instead of STR as the modifier for attack and damage rolls in the Totemic Form.

The Totemic Form’s attacks are listed as either Primary or Secondary. Secondary attacks tend to be weaker than Primary attacks, and suffer a -3 penalty to attack and damage rolls. You can use either your Primary attack or your Secondary attack as a standard action. As a full attack action, you can attack with both of your Primary and Secondary attacks.

Each Totemic Form offers two or more skill bonuses. While in this Totemic Form, you gain a bonus to these skill checks equal to ½ your level.

Totemic Gifts are augments to your Totemic Form. All of these forms come with at least two bonus gifts.

As you grow in strength as a Totemic, so too do your Totemic Forms. Each form has a list of available upgrades obtainable from the Totemic Gifts class feature. The details of Totemic Gift rules and their special properties are explained below.

At 1^st level, you begin play with 2 Totemic Forms from the list below. At 6^th level and every 6^th level thereafter, you may choose another Totemic Form to adopt.

Totemic

“Oh surrounded am I? You have no idea who you are dealing with... ...RRRRRRRRRAAAAAR!”

Totemics are members of druidic sects that focus upon their connection not just to world, but very specifically to the creatures that live within it. Within Totemics there are those who focus upon an individual creature and worship it as well as those who worship all of the animals equally.

The primary skill that Totemics are sought out for in adventuring parties is that of their ability to shape shift at will into animal forms by drawing on the Totem Spirits of the animals that share their environment. Many an enemy of the wild has come up against a Totemic, thinking them to be a simple hermit only to be impaled by the horns of a charging buffalo or ripped apart by the claws of a lion.

Class Traits

• Role: Varies. Depending upon the forms chosen by a Totemic, they can fulfil many different roles within a party.
• Alignment: True Neutral. Those who stray from this path lose their connection to nature and with that their ability to take on nature’s forms.
• Power Source: Primal
• Key Abilities: Wisdom, Constitution
• Armour Proficiencies: None
• Weapon Proficiencies: Simple Melee, Simple Ranged
• Bonuses to Defence: +2 Will
• Hit Points at 1st level: 2d6 + Constitution Score
• Hit Points per level gained: d6 + Constitution modifier
• Healing Surges per day: 10 + Constitution Modifier
• Skill Points at 1st level: (4 + Intelligence Modifier) x4
• Skill Points per level: 4 + Intelligence Modifier
• Class Skills: Climb, Craft, Handle Animal, Heal, Intimidate, Jump, Knowledge (Geography), Knowledge (Nature), Perception, Profession, Ride, Stealth, Survival, Swim, Linguistics

Class Features

• Transformation (1st level)

Totemics may transform into an animal form that they have unlocked At Will as a Standard Action.

It is assumed that all of their equipment melds into the new form as long as it is stowed upon their person and not held. Anything held in the Totemic’s hands is assumed to be dropped unless the animal has Opposable Thumbs. Magical equipment does not work whilst in animal form with the exception of rings, amulets, ioun stones and items that specifically state in their description that Totemics can make use of them in animal form.

Whilst in an animal form, Totemics may transform back into their standard form At Will as a Standard Action.

If reduced to below zero hit points whilst in animal form, a Totemic is assumed to instantly transform (taking damage if insufficient room or potentially drowning underwater) upon hitting zero and will die upon reaching half of their Humanoid health total below zero as normal.

Damage is retained during transformations, and if switching form would reduce you to zero hit points or lower, you are considered to be at 1 hit point after doing so.

Despite animal forms being listed as having an Intelligence Score, the Totemic’s Intelligence Score is use for all checks that require it as their mind remains the same during transformation. The Intelligence Score listed for the animal is purely used to calculate their Skill Points, which are equal to twice their Intelligence Score at first level and increase by their Intelligence Modifier +2 each level thereafter.

• Totem Points (1st level)

Totemics begin at Level 1 with Totem Points equal to 2 plus half their Wisdom Score. At every Even Level from that point on that the Totemic levels up, they gain a number of Totem Points at each level starting with the first equal to 2 plus their Wisdom Modifier. Each time they level up, they may spend these points to buy new forms or upgrade existing ones.

At First Level, a Totemic must choose a Realm and from then on she may spend 5 Totem Points in order to unlock a new form from that realm.

Alternatively points may be spent on purchasing stat upgrades for an individual existing form based on based on the following table. The upgrades do not stack and the prior level must have been purchased in order to progress along the table from left to right:

	1 Point	2 Points	3 Points	4 Points	5 Points	6 Points
Strength	1	3	4	6	7	9
Constitution	1	3	4	6	7	9
Dexterity	1	3	4	6	7	9
Intelligence	1	2	3	4	5	6
Wisdom	1	2	3	4	5	6
Charisma	1	2	3	4	5	6

• Form Progression (1st level)

Animal forms add the Totemic’s half level to all defences and use the intelligence score on their listing for calculating skill points. In addition animal forms gain hit points based on their Hit Dice and Constitution as any other character would with levels with the exception of first level, when they gain the maximum that they could roll on their hit die automatically.

With regard to attack progression in creatures with multiple types of attack, the attack that progresses is whichever is mentioned in the creature’s special ability. If both or neither, then the player chooses upon purchasing the form which attack will progress with levels.

• Heightened Senses (1st level)

Whilst in animal forms, a Totemic can use senses that otherwise might not be as sharp in humanoids or even unavailable altogether. A shark for example is able to detect blood from miles away in water when an elf would have absolutely no inkling whatsoever of this.

• Commune with Nature (3rd level)

When in an animal form that the DM considers similar enough (wolves can talk to dogs etc.), the Totemic may talk to wild or domesticated animals as if they were an NPC. This requires a Linguistics roll, DC 15, if the animal is not from the Totemic’s realm or if the DM rules that a particularly spurious link is made.

• Realm Affinity (5th level)

The Totemic may spend a healing surge as a free action once per encounter when within their chosen realm.
