Pack Horses

2022-07-31T12:11:53Z

172.68.110.141: Added missing horse merchant location

Pack horses can be bought from select horse merchants. Each horse will come fully equipped with saddlebags and harness, and are bred and trained specifically for carrying heavy loads across long distances. Each merchant has several variations for sale, some stronger than others but also more expensive.

== Horse Merchants ==

'''Horse Merchant Locations on the surface:'''
*Soubar
*Baldurs Gate, East Farmlands
*Friendly Arm Inn
*Candlekeep
*Beregost
'''Servant Merchant Locations in the underdark:'''
*Sshamath Darkwoods (Ryldrar Zolavar)
*Rockrun (Ordri Smootsigh)

'''Horse Merchant Services:'''
*Sell/Buy pack horses
*Stable horses
*Help locate lost horses
*Retrieve lost saddlebags in case the horse was killed (as part of buying a replacement horse)

== Pack Horses ==
The weight carrying capacity of the horse is limited by its strength. Its saddlebag also has an upper limit of 100 items, regardless of item type. To interact with your horse you must start a conversation with it. It has the following options:
*Lead the horse - it will then follow you wherever you go.
*Tie the horse down - it will stay in that location, even after server reset.
*Take the saddlebag off - allow you to access the inventory of the saddlebag.
*Put the saddlebag on - contents of the saddlebag are persisted.
*Name the horse - if it hasn't already been named.

When you log out, your horse will leave the server with you, regardless if you are leading it or it was tied down somewhere. And it will return once you log back in. If the horse dies, it is dead. You can buy a new one at a horse merchant and have the option to pay him to have all content of the old saddlebag retrieved.

Pack Horses no longer leave the party in combat. Protection of the horse is player responsibility.

'''''BETA''': This system is currently in BETA, and any items lost as a result of using the system will '''not''' be reimbursed. That said, it has passed internal testing and is expected to work as advertised. Should you experience any problems, be sure to file a bug report on the forums so errors can be dealt with as fast as possible.''

Arterial Strike

2022-07-18T15:51:56Z

172.68.110.141: /* Gameplay Notes */

===Arterial Strike===

Type of Feat: General
Prerequisite: Base Attack Bonus +4, Sneak attack
Use: Selected.

If you hit with a sneak attack, you may choose to forgo +ld6 of extra sneak attack damage to deliver a wound that won't stop bleeding. Each wound caused in this manner saps an extra 2 point of damage per round from the victim, until the victim receives healing.

Wounds from multiple arterial strikes result in cumulative bleeding loss (two successful arterial strikes cause an extra 4 points of damage per round until healed). You may deliver only one bleeding wound per attack.

'''[Melee weapons only!]'''

== Gameplay Notes ==
It should bypass DR.

The description is out of date. What you get is an invisible copy of yourself that attacks for one round. It deals bleeding damage of 2 points for 3 rounds. (not sure if this damage will change with higher levels)
The feat has a cooldown of 16 seconds. You do not have to sneak to make use of the feat but the attack might also fail which however is still a normal attack but in case of a hit without bleeding damage. (so it seemed)
A feat that offers more uses than just to attack as you practically get a henchman for one round.

Deadly Defense

2022-07-05T10:17:57Z

172.68.110.141:

{{FeatInfo
|type=General
|Prereq=None
|Req=None
|Specifics=You deal an extra 1d6 points of damage with any weapon to which the [[Weapon Finesse]] feat applies when using [[Combat Expertise]], [[Parry]] or fighting defensively. This bonus is only applied when you are unarmored or wearing light armor.
|Use=automatic
}}

== Gameplay Notes ==

Deadly Defense works with all Light Weapons and either DEX- or STR-based attacks (STR-based PTWF Ranger for example).

Also it gets applied to druid's wild shapes, because weapon-creature feat is treated light weapon. (tested date 2022.05.25)

172.68.110.141: /* Enhancement Feats */

[[File:Warlock.jpg|thumb|354x354px]]
Born of a supernatural bloodline, a Warlock seeks to master the perilous magic that suffuses his soul. Unlike [[Sorcerer]]s and [[Wizard]]s, who approach [[arcane]] magic through the medium of spells, a Warlock invokes powerful magic through nothing more than an effort of will. The font of dark magic burning in their souls makes them resistant to many forms of attack and arms them with dangerous power. Warlocks learn to harness their power to perform a small number of specific attacks and tricks called invocations. Warlocks make up for their lack of versatility by being tougher and more resilient than sorcerers or wizards. By harnessing his innate magical gift through fearsome determination and willpower, a Warlock can perform feats of supernatural stealth, beguile the weak-minded, or scour his foes with blasts of Eldritch power.

===Armor restrictions===
Because the somatic components required for Warlock [[invocation|Invocations]] are relatively simple, a Warlock has [[Armored Caster]] and can use any of his invocations while wearing light armor without incurring the normal arcane [[spell failure]] chance. However, like Arcane Spellcasters, a Warlock wearing medium or heavy armor or using a shield incurs a chance of arcane spell failure (all invocations, including Eldritch blast, have a somatic component). A [[multiclass]] Warlock still incurs the normal arcane spell failure chance for arcane spells received from levels in other classes. Taking the [[Battle Caster]] feat removes the somatic spell failure chance for medium armor.

===Eldritch Blast===
A Warlock attacks his foes with Eldritch power, using baleful magical energy to deal damage and sometimes impart other debilitating effects. An Eldritch blast deals 1d6 points of magical damage at 1st level and increases in power as the Warlock rises in level (up to 14d6 by level 30). There is no [[saving throw|Saving Throw]] with this attack, but [[spell resistance|Spell Resistance]] can negate it. This power can be used at will.
*An Eldritch blast is a ray with a range of 60ft.
*It is a ranged [[touch attack]] that affects a single target.
*half damage to objects.
*is a weapon-like spell (Critical hit on a roll of 20, double damage on a critical hit)
*One each of an Eldritch Essence and Blast Shape [[invocation]]s may be applied to an Eldritch Blast.
*Applied invocations may cause additional effects and thus allow for a saving throw.

====Eldritch Essence====
Some of a Warlock's invocations, such as [[Frightful Blast]], modify the damage or other effects of the Warlock's Eldritch blast. Unless otherwise noted, the Eldritch blast deals normal damage in addition to the effect of the essence. The Warlock can apply only one essence to a blast at a time.

====Blast Shape====
These invocations modify the range, target(s), or area of a Warlock's Eldritch blast. Unless otherwise noted, the Eldritch blast does normal damage.

===Eldritch lore===
At 2nd level the Warlock gains a +2 bonus to Lore and Spellcraft [[skill check]]s.

===Damage Reduction===
Fortified by the supernatural power flowing in his body, a Warlock becomes resistant to physical attacks at 3rd level and above, gaining damage reduction 1/cold iron (damage from attacks are reduced by 1 point unless the damage comes from cold iron). At 7th level and every four levels thereafter, a Warlock's damage reduction improves, up to 7/cold iron at level 27.

===Deceive Item===
From level 4 onwards, a Warlock gains a +4 bonus to Use Magic Device skill checks.

===Fiendish Resilience===
Once [[per day]], for 20 rounds, the Warlock gains [[regeneration|fast healing]]. The value is 1 point from 8th level, 2 points from 13th level and 5 points from 18th level.

===Energy resistance===
At level 10 a Warlock can choose two energy types from [[acid damage|Acid]], [[cold damage|Cold]], [[electrical damage|Electricity]], [[fire damage|Fire]], and [[sonic damage|Sonic]]. He gains 5 points [[damage resistance|Damage Resistance]] against those chosen [[damage type]]s. At 20th level, a Warlock gains resistance 10 to his chosen energy types. At 30th level, a Warlock gains resistance 15 to his chosen energy types.

===Imbue Item===
(''[[Mask of the Betrayer]] only'')

From level 12 onwards, a Warlock can use his supernatural power to create magic items, even if he does not know the spells required to make the item (although he must know the appropriate item creation feat). He can substitute a use magic device check (DC 15 + spell level for arcane spells or 25 + spell level for divine spells) in place of a required spell he does not know or can't cast.

''Note: Due to the way some crafting recipies use the same reagents as others but different spells and the way this feat works (it does not allow a choice in the spell used), some crafting is not available to Warlocks, as the spell picked by the feat will never correspond to the one required.''

''E.g., The same reagents are required for 1d6 acid damage and poison damage for weapons; this feat will always pick the spell for poison and never add acid damage. The same applies with all the variations of move silently enchantments to armor as hide will be added in its stead.''

''Basic enchantments can be overcome by using scrolls as low caster levels are required but you will not be able to add +15 Move silent to armor with this feat.''

''[-GeeFresh-23/09/08]''

==Spellcasting: [[Invocation]]s==

{{class casting synopsis|ability=Charisma|type=eldritch|prepared=No}}
*[[Invocation]]: Warlocks utilize invocations to channel eldritch power at their enemies.

A Warlock does not prepare or cast spells as other wielders of arcane magic do. Instead, he possesses a repertoire of attacks, defenses, and abilities known as invocations that require him to focus the wild energy that suffuses his soul. A Warlock can use any invocation he knows at will.
*A Warlock's invocations are [[spell-like ability|spell-like abilities]], therefore a [[standard action]] that provokes an [[attack of opportunity]].
*If a Warlock is hit when invoking he must make a concentration check or the invocation is disrupted.
*A Warlock may choose to invoke [[Defensive casting|defensively]], by making a concentration check, to avoid provoking attacks of opportunities.
*A Warlock's invocations are subject to [[spell resistance]] unless an invocation's description specifically states otherwise. ** See Note Below**
*A Warlock's [[caster level]] with his invocations are equal to his class level. However, the spell level of the Eldritch Blast is always equal to one unless modified by shape/essence invocations. If both a blast shape and a blast essence are added to the Eldritch Blast, then the spell level of the blast is equal to the higher spell level of either the shape or essence.
*The DC for an invocation (if it allows a save) is 10 + equivalent spell level + Warlock's Charisma [[ability modifier|modifier]].
*Warlock invocations suffer armor related spell failure (from medium and heavier armor and shields) in the same way as arcane spells (but: see [[Warlock#Arcane_spell_failure|Arcane Spell Failure]]).

'''NOTE''': The bug that resulted in only half the warlock's caster level being used to calculate spell resistance checks has been fixed on BGTSCC. The bug that resulted in unmodified eldritch blasts of +10d6 damage to bypass spell resistance checks entirely has also been fixed on BGTSCC. Note that Eldritch Blasts modified with Vitriolic Essence innately do not have a Spell Resistance check.

===Grades===
The four grades of invocation, in order of their relative power, are [[Invocation#Least_invocations|least]], [[Invocation#Lesser_invocations|lesser]], [[Invocation#Greater_invocations|greater]] and [[Invocation#Dark_invocations|dark]].

===Gaining Invocations===
A Warlock begins with knowledge of one invocation, which must be of the lowest grade (least). Warlocks may swap one invocation that they already know for one other of the same grade (least, lesser, etc.) every time they gain a level.

===Enhancement Feats===
-Invocations are not actually spells, they are spell-like abilities, so they are not compatible with spell focus feats and any spellcasting feats, save [[Spell Penetration]].

-Ability Focus Blasts: Warlocks may now select the Ability Focus Blasts feat, which raises blast DCs by 2.

-Extra Invocations: Warlocks may now select Extra Invocation feats.
You may only select Extra Invocation feats for invocations up to one level below your maximum. Dark invocations can never be selected as Extra Invocations. Eldritch blast shapes and eldritch blast essences cannot be chosen with extra invocations.
Extra Invocations is based on warlock class levels. If you are multi-classing then it could take longer to qualify. (This is a limitation of the game unfortunately.) This means you may select bonus Least invocations at level 6, Lesser invocations at level 11, and Greater invocations at level 16.

===Equivalent Spell Level===
Each invocation has an equivalent spell level (ESL) to determine the save DC (if it allows a save) and the required power to dispel it. If both a shape and an essence are applied to an Eldritch Blast, the ESL of the Eldritch Blast is the higher ESL of the eldritch blast, shape or essence. The ESL of an eldritch blast is x, where x is determined by the blast damage of the Warlock (xd6).

The save DC of any invocation is 10 + equivalent spell level + Warlock's Charisma modifier. Caster level equals Warlock class level.

===Arcane Spell Failure===
The Warlock is documented as being subject to arcane spell failure (the chance of an invocation to fail when wearing too-heavy armor or wielding a shield). However, it appears that only some invocations are actually subject to arcane spell failure:

NOTE: Fixed as of .1588, all invocations/spells suffer arcane failure as listed

*[[Charm]]
*[[Curse of Despair]]
*[[Devour Magic]]
*[[Flee the Scene]]
*[[The Dead Walk]]
*[[Voracious Dispelling]]
*[[Walk Unseen]]
*[[Chilling Tentacles]]

On the other hand, these are not subject to arcane spell failure (because they have no verbal or somatic component--whether this is intentional, or a bug, is open to question):

*[[Eldritch_blast|Eldritch Blast]] (regardless of any shape or essence applied)
*[[Beguiling Influence]]
*[[Dark Foresight]]
*[[Dark One's Own Luck]]
*[[Darkness]]
*[[Devil's Sight]]
*[[Dread Seizure]]
*[[Entropic Warding]]
*[[Leaps and Bounds]]
*[[Otherworldly Whispers]]
*[[Retributive Invisibility]]
*[[See the Unseen]]
*[[Tenacious Plague]]
*[[Wall_of_Perilous_Flame|Wall of Perilous Flame]]
*[[Word of Changing]]

NOTE: In the latest version (1.23) all of the Warlock's invocations are subject to arcane spell failure. Eldritch Blast as a spell-like ability is exempt.

==Epic Spells==
At epic levels, a Warlock can learn the following Epic Spells: [[Damnation]], [[Entropic Husk]], [[Epic Gate]], [[Hellball]], [[Vampiric Feast]]. All require a high level of Spellcraft to learn (This should be no problem as any high level Warlock should invest in Spellcraft for [[Eldritch Master]]).

Update: Warlocks can now qualify for their epic spells at Eldritch Blast 7d6, ensuring that they always qualify for epic spells at an appropriate level for their invocation access regardless of their multiclassing. Pure warlocks will unfortunately qualify for epic spells one level later than they used to, but all other warlock builds will qualify much sooner than previously as they no longer have to wait until they have 16 levels in the base warlock class despite progressing in warlock through Hellfire or other warlock PRCs.

Note: These are not spells granted, they are actually Epic Level Feats that may be taken whenever a bonus feat is offered with leveling.

[[File:Warlock.jpg|thumb|354x354px]]
Born of a supernatural bloodline, a Warlock seeks to master the perilous magic that suffuses his soul. Unlike [[Sorcerer]]s and [[Wizard]]s, who approach [[arcane]] magic through the medium of spells, a Warlock invokes powerful magic through nothing more than an effort of will. The font of dark magic burning in their souls makes them resistant to many forms of attack and arms them with dangerous power. Warlocks learn to harness their power to perform a small number of specific attacks and tricks called invocations. Warlocks make up for their lack of versatility by being tougher and more resilient than sorcerers or wizards. By harnessing his innate magical gift through fearsome determination and willpower, a Warlock can perform feats of supernatural stealth, beguile the weak-minded, or scour his foes with blasts of Eldritch power.

===Armor restrictions===
Because the somatic components required for Warlock [[invocation|Invocations]] are relatively simple, a Warlock has [[Armored Caster]] and can use any of his invocations while wearing light armor without incurring the normal arcane [[spell failure]] chance. However, like Arcane Spellcasters, a Warlock wearing medium or heavy armor or using a shield incurs a chance of arcane spell failure (all invocations, including Eldritch blast, have a somatic component). A [[multiclass]] Warlock still incurs the normal arcane spell failure chance for arcane spells received from levels in other classes. Taking the [[Battle Caster]] feat removes the somatic spell failure chance for medium armor.

===Eldritch Blast===
A Warlock attacks his foes with Eldritch power, using baleful magical energy to deal damage and sometimes impart other debilitating effects. An Eldritch blast deals 1d6 points of magical damage at 1st level and increases in power as the Warlock rises in level (up to 14d6 by level 30). There is no [[saving throw|Saving Throw]] with this attack, but [[spell resistance|Spell Resistance]] can negate it. This power can be used at will.
*An Eldritch blast is a ray with a range of 60ft.
*It is a ranged [[touch attack]] that affects a single target.
*half damage to objects.
*is a weapon-like spell (Critical hit on a roll of 20, double damage on a critical hit)
*One each of an Eldritch Essence and Blast Shape [[invocation]]s may be applied to an Eldritch Blast.
*Applied invocations may cause additional effects and thus allow for a saving throw.

====Eldritch Essence====
Some of a Warlock's invocations, such as [[Frightful Blast]], modify the damage or other effects of the Warlock's Eldritch blast. Unless otherwise noted, the Eldritch blast deals normal damage in addition to the effect of the essence. The Warlock can apply only one essence to a blast at a time.

====Blast Shape====
These invocations modify the range, target(s), or area of a Warlock's Eldritch blast. Unless otherwise noted, the Eldritch blast does normal damage.

===Eldritch lore===
At 2nd level the Warlock gains a +2 bonus to Lore and Spellcraft [[skill check]]s.

===Damage Reduction===
Fortified by the supernatural power flowing in his body, a Warlock becomes resistant to physical attacks at 3rd level and above, gaining damage reduction 1/cold iron (damage from attacks are reduced by 1 point unless the damage comes from cold iron). At 7th level and every four levels thereafter, a Warlock's damage reduction improves, up to 7/cold iron at level 27.

===Deceive Item===
From level 4 onwards, a Warlock gains a +4 bonus to Use Magic Device skill checks.

===Fiendish Resilience===
Once [[per day]], for 20 rounds, the Warlock gains [[regeneration|fast healing]]. The value is 1 point from 8th level, 2 points from 13th level and 5 points from 18th level.

===Energy resistance===
At level 10 a Warlock can choose two energy types from [[acid damage|Acid]], [[cold damage|Cold]], [[electrical damage|Electricity]], [[fire damage|Fire]], and [[sonic damage|Sonic]]. He gains 5 points [[damage resistance|Damage Resistance]] against those chosen [[damage type]]s. At 20th level, a Warlock gains resistance 10 to his chosen energy types. At 30th level, a Warlock gains resistance 15 to his chosen energy types.

===Imbue Item===
(''[[Mask of the Betrayer]] only'')

From level 12 onwards, a Warlock can use his supernatural power to create magic items, even if he does not know the spells required to make the item (although he must know the appropriate item creation feat). He can substitute a use magic device check (DC 15 + spell level for arcane spells or 25 + spell level for divine spells) in place of a required spell he does not know or can't cast.

''Note: Due to the way some crafting recipies use the same reagents as others but different spells and the way this feat works (it does not allow a choice in the spell used), some crafting is not available to Warlocks, as the spell picked by the feat will never correspond to the one required.''

''E.g., The same reagents are required for 1d6 acid damage and poison damage for weapons; this feat will always pick the spell for poison and never add acid damage. The same applies with all the variations of move silently enchantments to armor as hide will be added in its stead.''

''Basic enchantments can be overcome by using scrolls as low caster levels are required but you will not be able to add +15 Move silent to armor with this feat.''

''[-GeeFresh-23/09/08]''

==Spellcasting: [[Invocation]]s==

{{class casting synopsis|ability=Charisma|type=eldritch|prepared=No}}
*[[Invocation]]: Warlocks utilize invocations to channel eldritch power at their enemies.

A Warlock does not prepare or cast spells as other wielders of arcane magic do. Instead, he possesses a repertoire of attacks, defenses, and abilities known as invocations that require him to focus the wild energy that suffuses his soul. A Warlock can use any invocation he knows at will.
*A Warlock's invocations are [[spell-like ability|spell-like abilities]], therefore a [[standard action]] that provokes an [[attack of opportunity]].
*If a Warlock is hit when invoking he must make a concentration check or the invocation is disrupted.
*A Warlock may choose to invoke [[Defensive casting|defensively]], by making a concentration check, to avoid provoking attacks of opportunities.
*A Warlock's invocations are subject to [[spell resistance]] unless an invocation's description specifically states otherwise. ** See Note Below**
*A Warlock's [[caster level]] with his invocations are equal to his class level. However, the spell level of the Eldritch Blast is always equal to one unless modified by shape/essence invocations. If both a blast shape and a blast essence are added to the Eldritch Blast, then the spell level of the blast is equal to the higher spell level of either the shape or essence.
*The DC for an invocation (if it allows a save) is 10 + equivalent spell level + Warlock's Charisma [[ability modifier|modifier]].
*Warlock invocations suffer armor related spell failure (from medium and heavier armor and shields) in the same way as arcane spells (but: see [[Warlock#Arcane_spell_failure|Arcane Spell Failure]]).

'''NOTE''': The bug that resulted in only half the warlock's caster level being used to calculate spell resistance checks has been fixed on BGTSCC. The bug that resulted in unmodified eldritch blasts of +10d6 damage to bypass spell resistance checks entirely has also been fixed on BGTSCC. Note that Eldritch Blasts modified with Vitriolic Essence innately do not have a Spell Resistance check.

If both a blast shape and a blast essence are added to the Eldritch Blast, then the spell level of the blast is equal to the higher spell level of either the shape or essence.
*The DC for an invocation (if it allows a save) is 10 + equivalent spell level + Warlock's Charisma [[ability modifier|modifier]].
*Warlock invocations suffer armor related spell failure (from medium and heavier armor and shields) in the same way as arcane spells (but: see [[Warlock#Arcane_spell_failure|Arcane Spell Failure]]).

'''NOTE''': The bug that resulted in only half the warlock's caster level being used to calculate spell resistance checks has been fixed on BGTSCC. The bug that resulted in unmodified eldritch blasts of +10d6 damage to bypass spell resistance checks entirely has also been fixed on BGTSCC. Note that Eldritch Blasts modified with Vitriolic Essence innately do not have a Spell Resistance check.

===Grades===
The four grades of invocation, in order of their relative power, are [[Invocation#Least_invocations|least]], [[Invocation#Lesser_invocations|lesser]], [[Invocation#Greater_invocations|greater]] and [[Invocation#Dark_invocations|dark]].

===Gaining Invocations===
A Warlock begins with knowledge of one invocation, which must be of the lowest grade (least). Warlocks may swap one invocation that they already know for one other of the same grade (least, lesser, etc.) every time they gain a level.

===Enhancement Feats===
Invocations are not actually spells, they are spell-like abilities, so they are not compatible with spell focus feats and any spellcasting feats, save [[Spell Penetration]].

Ability Focus Blasts: Warlocks may now select the Ability Focus Blasts feat, which raises blast DCs by 2.

Extra Invocations: Warlocks may now select Extra Invocation feats.
You may only select Extra Invocation feats for invocations up to one level below your maximum. Dark invocations can never be selected as Extra Invocations. Eldritch blast shapes and eldritch blast essences cannot be chosen with extra invocations.
Extra Invocations is based on warlock class levels. If you are multi-classing then it could take longer to qualify. (This is a limitation of the game unfortunately.) This means you may select bonus Least invocations at level 6, Lesser invocations at level 11, and Greater invocations at level 16.

===Equivalent Spell Level===
Each invocation has an equivalent spell level (ESL) to determine the save DC (if it allows a save) and the required power to dispel it. If both a shape and an essence are applied to an Eldritch Blast, the ESL of the Eldritch Blast is the higher ESL of the eldritch blast, shape or essence. The ESL of an eldritch blast is x, where x is determined by the blast damage of the Warlock (xd6).

The save DC of any invocation is 10 + equivalent spell level + Warlock's Charisma modifier. Caster level equals Warlock class level.

===Arcane Spell Failure===
The Warlock is documented as being subject to arcane spell failure (the chance of an invocation to fail when wearing too-heavy armor or wielding a shield). However, it appears that only some invocations are actually subject to arcane spell failure:

NOTE: Fixed as of .1588, all invocations/spells suffer arcane failure as listed

*[[Charm]]
*[[Curse of Despair]]
*[[Devour Magic]]
*[[Flee the Scene]]
*[[The Dead Walk]]
*[[Voracious Dispelling]]
*[[Walk Unseen]]
*[[Chilling Tentacles]]

On the other hand, these are not subject to arcane spell failure (because they have no verbal or somatic component--whether this is intentional, or a bug, is open to question):

*[[Eldritch_blast|Eldritch Blast]] (regardless of any shape or essence applied)
*[[Beguiling Influence]]
*[[Dark Foresight]]
*[[Dark One's Own Luck]]
*[[Darkness]]
*[[Devil's Sight]]
*[[Dread Seizure]]
*[[Entropic Warding]]
*[[Leaps and Bounds]]
*[[Otherworldly Whispers]]
*[[Retributive Invisibility]]
*[[See the Unseen]]
*[[Tenacious Plague]]
*[[Wall_of_Perilous_Flame|Wall of Perilous Flame]]
*[[Word of Changing]]

NOTE: In the latest version (1.23) all of the Warlock's invocations are subject to arcane spell failure. Eldritch Blast as a spell-like ability is exempt.

==Epic Spells==
At epic levels, a Warlock can learn the following Epic Spells: [[Damnation]], [[Entropic Husk]], [[Epic Gate]], [[Hellball]], [[Vampiric Feast]]. All require a high level of Spellcraft to learn (This should be no problem as any high level Warlock should invest in Spellcraft for [[Eldritch Master]]).

Update: Warlocks can now qualify for their epic spells at Eldritch Blast 7d6, ensuring that they always qualify for epic spells at an appropriate level for their invocation access regardless of their multiclassing. Pure warlocks will unfortunately qualify for epic spells one level later than they used to, but all other warlock builds will qualify much sooner than previously as they no longer have to wait until they have 16 levels in the base warlock class despite progressing in warlock through Hellfire or other warlock PRCs.

Note: These are not spells granted, they are actually Epic Level Feats that may be taken whenever a bonus feat is offered with leveling.

172.68.110.141: /* Spellcasting: Invocations */

[[File:Warlock.jpg|thumb|354x354px]]
Born of a supernatural bloodline, a Warlock seeks to master the perilous magic that suffuses his soul. Unlike [[Sorcerer]]s and [[Wizard]]s, who approach [[arcane]] magic through the medium of spells, a Warlock invokes powerful magic through nothing more than an effort of will. The font of dark magic burning in their souls makes them resistant to many forms of attack and arms them with dangerous power. Warlocks learn to harness their power to perform a small number of specific attacks and tricks called invocations. Warlocks make up for their lack of versatility by being tougher and more resilient than sorcerers or wizards. By harnessing his innate magical gift through fearsome determination and willpower, a Warlock can perform feats of supernatural stealth, beguile the weak-minded, or scour his foes with blasts of Eldritch power.

===Armor restrictions===
Because the somatic components required for Warlock [[invocation|Invocations]] are relatively simple, a Warlock has [[Armored Caster]] and can use any of his invocations while wearing light armor without incurring the normal arcane [[spell failure]] chance. However, like Arcane Spellcasters, a Warlock wearing medium or heavy armor or using a shield incurs a chance of arcane spell failure (all invocations, including Eldritch blast, have a somatic component). A [[multiclass]] Warlock still incurs the normal arcane spell failure chance for arcane spells received from levels in other classes. Taking the [[Battle Caster]] feat removes the somatic spell failure chance for medium armor.

===Eldritch Blast===
A Warlock attacks his foes with Eldritch power, using baleful magical energy to deal damage and sometimes impart other debilitating effects. An Eldritch blast deals 1d6 points of magical damage at 1st level and increases in power as the Warlock rises in level (up to 14d6 by level 30). There is no [[saving throw|Saving Throw]] with this attack, but [[spell resistance|Spell Resistance]] can negate it. This power can be used at will.
*An Eldritch blast is a ray with a range of 60ft.
*It is a ranged [[touch attack]] that affects a single target.
*half damage to objects.
*is a weapon-like spell (Critical hit on a roll of 20, double damage on a critical hit)
*One each of an Eldritch Essence and Blast Shape [[invocation]]s may be applied to an Eldritch Blast.
*Applied invocations may cause additional effects and thus allow for a saving throw.

====Eldritch Essence====
Some of a Warlock's invocations, such as [[Frightful Blast]], modify the damage or other effects of the Warlock's Eldritch blast. Unless otherwise noted, the Eldritch blast deals normal damage in addition to the effect of the essence. The Warlock can apply only one essence to a blast at a time.

====Blast Shape====
These invocations modify the range, target(s), or area of a Warlock's Eldritch blast. Unless otherwise noted, the Eldritch blast does normal damage.

===Eldritch lore===
At 2nd level the Warlock gains a +2 bonus to Lore and Spellcraft [[skill check]]s.

===Damage Reduction===
Fortified by the supernatural power flowing in his body, a Warlock becomes resistant to physical attacks at 3rd level and above, gaining damage reduction 1/cold iron (damage from attacks are reduced by 1 point unless the damage comes from cold iron). At 7th level and every four levels thereafter, a Warlock's damage reduction improves, up to 7/cold iron at level 27.

===Deceive Item===
From level 4 onwards, a Warlock gains a +4 bonus to Use Magic Device skill checks.

===Fiendish Resilience===
Once [[per day]], for 20 rounds, the Warlock gains [[regeneration|fast healing]]. The value is 1 point from 8th level, 2 points from 13th level and 5 points from 18th level.

===Energy resistance===
At level 10 a Warlock can choose two energy types from [[acid damage|Acid]], [[cold damage|Cold]], [[electrical damage|Electricity]], [[fire damage|Fire]], and [[sonic damage|Sonic]]. He gains 5 points [[damage resistance|Damage Resistance]] against those chosen [[damage type]]s. At 20th level, a Warlock gains resistance 10 to his chosen energy types. At 30th level, a Warlock gains resistance 15 to his chosen energy types.

===Imbue Item===
(''[[Mask of the Betrayer]] only'')

From level 12 onwards, a Warlock can use his supernatural power to create magic items, even if he does not know the spells required to make the item (although he must know the appropriate item creation feat). He can substitute a use magic device check (DC 15 + spell level for arcane spells or 25 + spell level for divine spells) in place of a required spell he does not know or can't cast.

''Note: Due to the way some crafting recipies use the same reagents as others but different spells and the way this feat works (it does not allow a choice in the spell used), some crafting is not available to Warlocks, as the spell picked by the feat will never correspond to the one required.''

''E.g., The same reagents are required for 1d6 acid damage and poison damage for weapons; this feat will always pick the spell for poison and never add acid damage. The same applies with all the variations of move silently enchantments to armor as hide will be added in its stead.''

''Basic enchantments can be overcome by using scrolls as low caster levels are required but you will not be able to add +15 Move silent to armor with this feat.''

''[-GeeFresh-23/09/08]''

==Spellcasting: [[Invocation]]s==

{{class casting synopsis|ability=Charisma|type=eldritch|prepared=No}}
*[[Invocation]]: Warlocks utilize invocations to channel eldritch power at their enemies.

A Warlock does not prepare or cast spells as other wielders of arcane magic do. Instead, he possesses a repertoire of attacks, defenses, and abilities known as invocations that require him to focus the wild energy that suffuses his soul. A Warlock can use any invocation he knows at will.
*A Warlock's invocations are [[spell-like ability|spell-like abilities]], therefore a [[standard action]] that provokes an [[attack of opportunity]].
*If a Warlock is hit when invoking he must make a concentration check or the invocation is disrupted.
*A Warlock may choose to invoke [[Defensive casting|defensively]], by making a concentration check, to avoid provoking attacks of opportunities.
*A Warlock's invocations are subject to [[spell resistance]] unless an invocation's description specifically states otherwise. ** See Note Below**
*A Warlock's [[caster level]] with his invocations are equal to his class level. However, the spell level of the Eldritch Blast is always equal to one unless modified by shape/essence invocations. If both a blast shape and a blast essence are added to the Eldritch Blast, then the spell level of the blast is equal to the higher spell level of either the shape or essence.
*The DC for an invocation (if it allows a save) is 10 + equivalent spell level + Warlock's Charisma [[ability modifier|modifier]].
*Warlock invocations suffer armor related spell failure (from medium and heavier armor and shields) in the same way as arcane spells (but: see [[Warlock#Arcane_spell_failure|Arcane Spell Failure]]).

'''NOTE''': The bug that resulted in only half the warlock's caster level being used to calculate spell resistance checks has been fixed on BGTSCC. The bug that resulted in unmodified eldritch blasts of +10d6 damage to bypass spell resistance checks entirely has also been fixed on BGTSCC.

*A Warlock's invocations are [[spell-like ability|spell-like abilities]], therefore a [[standard action]] that provokes an [[attack of opportunity]].
*If a Warlock is hit when invoking he must make a concentration check or the invocation is disrupted.
*A Warlock may choose to invoke [[Defensive casting|defensively]], by making a concentration check, to avoid provoking attacks of opportunities.
*A Warlock's invocations are subject to [[spell resistance]] unless an invocation's description specifically states otherwise. ** See Note Below**
*A Warlock's [[caster level]] with his invocations are equal to his class level. However, the spell level of the Eldritch Blast is always equal to one unless modified by shape/essence invocations. If both a blast shape and a blast essence are added to the Eldritch Blast, then the spell level of the blast is equal to the higher spell level of either the shape or essence.
*The DC for an invocation (if it allows a save) is 10 + equivalent spell level + Warlock's Charisma [[ability modifier|modifier]].
*Warlock invocations suffer armor related spell failure (from medium and heavier armor and shields) in the same way as arcane spells (but: see [[Warlock#Arcane_spell_failure|Arcane Spell Failure]]).

'''NOTE''': The bug that resulted in only half the warlock's caster level being used to calculate spell resistance checks has been fixed on BGTSCC. The bug that resulted in unmodified eldritch blasts of +10d6 damage to bypass spell resistance checks entirely has also been fixed on BGTSCC. Note that Eldritch Blasts modified with Vitriolic Essence innately do not have a Spell Resistance check.

===Grades===
The four grades of invocation, in order of their relative power, are [[Invocation#Least_invocations|least]], [[Invocation#Lesser_invocations|lesser]], [[Invocation#Greater_invocations|greater]] and [[Invocation#Dark_invocations|dark]].

===Gaining Invocations===
A Warlock begins with knowledge of one invocation, which must be of the lowest grade (least). Warlocks may swap one invocation that they already know for one other of the same grade (least, lesser, etc.) every time they gain a level.

===Enhancement Feats===
Invocations are not actually spells, they are spell-like abilities, so they are not compatible with spell focus feats and any spellcasting feats, save [[Spell Penetration]].

Warlocks may now select the Ability Focus (Blasts) feat, which raises blast DCs by 2.

===Equivalent Spell Level===
Each invocation has an equivalent spell level (ESL) to determine the save DC (if it allows a save) and the required power to dispel it. If both a shape and an essence are applied to an Eldritch Blast, the ESL of the Eldritch Blast is the higher ESL of the eldritch blast, shape or essence. The ESL of an eldritch blast is x, where x is determined by the blast damage of the Warlock (xd6).

The save DC of any invocation is 10 + equivalent spell level + Warlock's Charisma modifier. Caster level equals Warlock class level.

===Arcane Spell Failure===
The Warlock is documented as being subject to arcane spell failure (the chance of an invocation to fail when wearing too-heavy armor or wielding a shield). However, it appears that only some invocations are actually subject to arcane spell failure:

NOTE: Fixed as of .1588, all invocations/spells suffer arcane failure as listed

*[[Charm]]
*[[Curse of Despair]]
*[[Devour Magic]]
*[[Flee the Scene]]
*[[The Dead Walk]]
*[[Voracious Dispelling]]
*[[Walk Unseen]]
*[[Chilling Tentacles]]

On the other hand, these are not subject to arcane spell failure (because they have no verbal or somatic component--whether this is intentional, or a bug, is open to question):

*[[Eldritch_blast|Eldritch Blast]] (regardless of any shape or essence applied)
*[[Beguiling Influence]]
*[[Dark Foresight]]
*[[Dark One's Own Luck]]
*[[Darkness]]
*[[Devil's Sight]]
*[[Dread Seizure]]
*[[Entropic Warding]]
*[[Leaps and Bounds]]
*[[Otherworldly Whispers]]
*[[Retributive Invisibility]]
*[[See the Unseen]]
*[[Tenacious Plague]]
*[[Wall_of_Perilous_Flame|Wall of Perilous Flame]]
*[[Word of Changing]]

NOTE: In the latest version (1.23) all of the Warlock's invocations are subject to arcane spell failure. Eldritch Blast as a spell-like ability is exempt.

==Epic Spells==
At epic levels, a Warlock can learn the following Epic Spells: [[Damnation]], [[Entropic Husk]], [[Epic Gate]], [[Hellball]], [[Vampiric Feast]]. All require a high level of Spellcraft to learn (This should be no problem as any high level Warlock should invest in Spellcraft for [[Eldritch Master]]).

Update: Warlocks can now qualify for their epic spells at Eldritch Blast 7d6, ensuring that they always qualify for epic spells at an appropriate level for their invocation access regardless of their multiclassing. Pure warlocks will unfortunately qualify for epic spells one level later than they used to, but all other warlock builds will qualify much sooner than previously as they no longer have to wait until they have 16 levels in the base warlock class despite progressing in warlock through Hellfire or other warlock PRCs.

Note: These are not spells granted, they are actually Epic Level Feats that may be taken whenever a bonus feat is offered with leveling.

172.68.110.141: /* Spellcasting: Invocations */

[[File:Warlock.jpg|thumb|354x354px]]
Born of a supernatural bloodline, a Warlock seeks to master the perilous magic that suffuses his soul. Unlike [[Sorcerer]]s and [[Wizard]]s, who approach [[arcane]] magic through the medium of spells, a Warlock invokes powerful magic through nothing more than an effort of will. The font of dark magic burning in their souls makes them resistant to many forms of attack and arms them with dangerous power. Warlocks learn to harness their power to perform a small number of specific attacks and tricks called invocations. Warlocks make up for their lack of versatility by being tougher and more resilient than sorcerers or wizards. By harnessing his innate magical gift through fearsome determination and willpower, a Warlock can perform feats of supernatural stealth, beguile the weak-minded, or scour his foes with blasts of Eldritch power.

===Armor restrictions===
Because the somatic components required for Warlock [[invocation|Invocations]] are relatively simple, a Warlock has [[Armored Caster]] and can use any of his invocations while wearing light armor without incurring the normal arcane [[spell failure]] chance. However, like Arcane Spellcasters, a Warlock wearing medium or heavy armor or using a shield incurs a chance of arcane spell failure (all invocations, including Eldritch blast, have a somatic component). A [[multiclass]] Warlock still incurs the normal arcane spell failure chance for arcane spells received from levels in other classes. Taking the [[Battle Caster]] feat removes the somatic spell failure chance for medium armor.

===Eldritch Blast===
A Warlock attacks his foes with Eldritch power, using baleful magical energy to deal damage and sometimes impart other debilitating effects. An Eldritch blast deals 1d6 points of magical damage at 1st level and increases in power as the Warlock rises in level (up to 14d6 by level 30). There is no [[saving throw|Saving Throw]] with this attack, but [[spell resistance|Spell Resistance]] can negate it. This power can be used at will.
*An Eldritch blast is a ray with a range of 60ft.
*It is a ranged [[touch attack]] that affects a single target.
*half damage to objects.
*is a weapon-like spell (Critical hit on a roll of 20, double damage on a critical hit)
*One each of an Eldritch Essence and Blast Shape [[invocation]]s may be applied to an Eldritch Blast.
*Applied invocations may cause additional effects and thus allow for a saving throw.

====Eldritch Essence====
Some of a Warlock's invocations, such as [[Frightful Blast]], modify the damage or other effects of the Warlock's Eldritch blast. Unless otherwise noted, the Eldritch blast deals normal damage in addition to the effect of the essence. The Warlock can apply only one essence to a blast at a time.

====Blast Shape====
These invocations modify the range, target(s), or area of a Warlock's Eldritch blast. Unless otherwise noted, the Eldritch blast does normal damage.

===Eldritch lore===
At 2nd level the Warlock gains a +2 bonus to Lore and Spellcraft [[skill check]]s.

===Damage Reduction===
Fortified by the supernatural power flowing in his body, a Warlock becomes resistant to physical attacks at 3rd level and above, gaining damage reduction 1/cold iron (damage from attacks are reduced by 1 point unless the damage comes from cold iron). At 7th level and every four levels thereafter, a Warlock's damage reduction improves, up to 7/cold iron at level 27.

===Deceive Item===
From level 4 onwards, a Warlock gains a +4 bonus to Use Magic Device skill checks.

===Fiendish Resilience===
Once [[per day]], for 20 rounds, the Warlock gains [[regeneration|fast healing]]. The value is 1 point from 8th level, 2 points from 13th level and 5 points from 18th level.

===Energy resistance===
At level 10 a Warlock can choose two energy types from [[acid damage|Acid]], [[cold damage|Cold]], [[electrical damage|Electricity]], [[fire damage|Fire]], and [[sonic damage|Sonic]]. He gains 5 points [[damage resistance|Damage Resistance]] against those chosen [[damage type]]s. At 20th level, a Warlock gains resistance 10 to his chosen energy types. At 30th level, a Warlock gains resistance 15 to his chosen energy types.

===Imbue Item===
(''[[Mask of the Betrayer]] only'')

From level 12 onwards, a Warlock can use his supernatural power to create magic items, even if he does not know the spells required to make the item (although he must know the appropriate item creation feat). He can substitute a use magic device check (DC 15 + spell level for arcane spells or 25 + spell level for divine spells) in place of a required spell he does not know or can't cast.

''Note: Due to the way some crafting recipies use the same reagents as others but different spells and the way this feat works (it does not allow a choice in the spell used), some crafting is not available to Warlocks, as the spell picked by the feat will never correspond to the one required.''

''E.g., The same reagents are required for 1d6 acid damage and poison damage for weapons; this feat will always pick the spell for poison and never add acid damage. The same applies with all the variations of move silently enchantments to armor as hide will be added in its stead.''

''Basic enchantments can be overcome by using scrolls as low caster levels are required but you will not be able to add +15 Move silent to armor with this feat.''

''[-GeeFresh-23/09/08]''

==Spellcasting: [[Invocation]]s==

{{class casting synopsis|ability=Charisma|type=eldritch|prepared=No}}
*[[Invocation]]: Warlocks utilize invocations to channel eldritch power at their enemies.

A Warlock does not prepare or cast spells as other wielders of arcane magic do. Instead, he possesses a repertoire of attacks, defenses, and abilities known as invocations that require him to focus the wild energy that suffuses his soul. A Warlock can use any invocation he knows at will.
*A Warlock's invocations are [[spell-like ability|spell-like abilities]], therefore a [[standard action]] that provokes an [[attack of opportunity]].
*If a Warlock is hit when invoking he must make a concentration check or the invocation is disrupted.
*A Warlock may choose to invoke [[Defensive casting|defensively]], by making a concentration check, to avoid provoking attacks of opportunities.
*A Warlock's invocations are subject to [[spell resistance]] unless an invocation's description specifically states otherwise. ** See Note Below**
*A Warlock's [[caster level]] with his invocations are equal to his class level. However, the spell level of the Eldritch Blast is always equal to one unless modified by shape/essence invocations. If both a blast shape and a blast essence are added to the Eldritch Blast, then the spell level of the blast is equal to the higher spell level of either the shape or essence.
*The DC for an invocation (if it allows a save) is 10 + equivalent spell level + Warlock's Charisma [[ability modifier|modifier]].
*Warlock invocations suffer armor related spell failure (from medium and heavier armor and shields) in the same way as arcane spells (but: see [[Warlock#Arcane_spell_failure|Arcane Spell Failure]]).

'''NOTE''': The bug that resulted in only half the warlock's caster level being used to calculate spell resistance checks has been fixed on BGTSCC. The bug that resulted in unmodified eldritch blasts of +10d6 damage to bypass spell resistance checks entirely has also been fixed on BGTSCC. Note that Eldritch Blasts modified with Vitriolic Essence innately do not have a Spell Resistance check.

===Grades===
The four grades of invocation, in order of their relative power, are [[Invocation#Least_invocations|least]], [[Invocation#Lesser_invocations|lesser]], [[Invocation#Greater_invocations|greater]] and [[Invocation#Dark_invocations|dark]].

A Warlock begins with knowledge of one invocation, which must be of the lowest grade (least). Warlocks may swap one invocation that they already know for one other of the same grade (least, lesser, etc.) every time they gain a level.

===Enhancement Feats===
Invocations are not actually spells, they are spell-like abilities, so they are not compatible with spell focus feats and any spellcasting feats, save [[Spell Penetration]]. As noted above, there is a glitch that only applies one-half of the bonus of Spell Penetration feats towards Invocations/Blasts.

=== Feats===
Warlocks may now select the Ability Focus (Blasts) feat, which raises blast DCs by 2.

===Equivalent Spell Level===
Each invocation has an equivalent spell level (ESL) to determine the save DC (if it allows a save) and the required power to dispel it. If both a shape and an essence are applied to an Eldritch Blast, the ESL of the Eldritch Blast is the higher ESL of the eldritch blast, shape or essence. The ESL of an eldritch blast is x, where x is determined by the blast damage of the Warlock (xd6).

The save DC of any invocation is 10 + equivalent spell level + Warlock's Charisma modifier. Caster level equals Warlock class level.

===Arcane Spell Failure===
The Warlock is documented as being subject to arcane spell failure (the chance of an invocation to fail when wearing too-heavy armor or wielding a shield). However, it appears that only some invocations are actually subject to arcane spell failure:

NOTE: Fixed as of .1588, all invocations/spells suffer arcane failure as listed

*[[Devour Magic]]
*[[Flee the Scene]]
*[[The Dead Walk]]
*[[Voracious Dispelling]]
*[[Walk Unseen]]
*[[Chilling Tentacles]]

*[[Eldritch_blast|Eldritch Blast]] (regardless of any shape or essence applied)

172.68.110.141: /* Least Invocations */

==Notes==

Invocations are [[Spell-like ability|Spell-like Abilities]] used by the [[Warlock]].

Their DCs rely on the [[Charisma]] attribute.

Invocations have [[somatic component|somatic]] and occasionally [[verbal component|verbal]] components.

Like [[Eldritch Blast]], they can be used unlimited times per day.

===Elemental Blast===

Invocation Type: Lesser Eldritch Essence
Spell Level Equivalent: 4

 This eldritch essence allows you to change your eldritch blast into an elemental blast.

It allows you to choose which element you wish to use. All of these blasts work with any eldritch blast shape.

*Brimstone deals fire damage. Any creature struck by a brimstone blast must succeed on a Reflex save or catch on fire, taking 2d6 points of fire damage per round until the duration expires. The fire damage persists for 1 round per five class levels you have. A creature burning in this way never takes more than 2d6 points of fire damage in a round, even if it has been hit by more than one brimstone blast.

*Hellrime deals cold damage. Any creature struck by the attack must make a Fortitude save or take a -4 penalty to Dexterity for 10 minutes. The Dexterity penalties from multiple hellrime blasts do not stack.

*Tempest deals electrical damage and any creatures failing a Reflex save are dazed for 1 round.

Order of the Bow Initiate

2022-04-01T12:22:35Z

172.68.110.141: /* Abilities */

== Class Notice ==
The Order of the Bow Initiate PRC facilitates a special long ranged style of combat gameplay. It is unlike other archer prestige classes in that it provides the character with abilities surpassing the normal range of bows and crossbows. The character in essence becomes a sniper or marksman, extending the range of his attack through OOBI abilities.

The ''Way of the Bow ''is not a religious creed, nor is the Order of the Bow an actual organization. Instead it refers to a discipline: that of mastering the bow. Initiates literally dedicate themselves to mastering the order that is the bow. The ''order ''thus represents the bow as a microcosm, its every aspect a study pursued by the initiate.

== Description: ==
[[File:OOBI.jpg|thumb]]

When asked "What is Truth?," an initiate of the Order of the Bow picks up his bow, fires an arrow and, without saying a word, lets his mastery of the weapon serve as the gauge of the archer's progress along the way. By learning the meditative art of the Way of the Bow, the archer improves his discipline, precision, and spirituality. Order of the Bow initiates see their weapons as extensions of their being, and the use of a bow as a spiritual experience. Everything comes down to that one shot in the world of the Initiate hence a common saying is: "One shot, one kill".

Fighters are the most common initiates of the Order of the Bow. Rangers, paladins, and even barbarians utilize these skills and philosophies well. Some rogues and bards have been known to enter the order, but they are rare indeed.

== Requirements: ==
Race: Any

Feats: Point Blank Shot, Rapid Shot, Weapon Focus Short Bow or Longbow

== Class Features ==
- Hit Die: d8

- Base Attack Bonus: High

- High Saves: Reflex, Will

- Weapon Proficiencies: An Order of the Bow Initiate gains no weapon proficiencies.

- Armor Proficiencies: An Order of the Bow Initiate gains no armor proficiencies.

No bonus feats.

== Abilities ==
Ranged Precision I to V
 Type of Feat: Class Ability Prerequisites: Order of the Bow Initiate Specifics: During a regular ranged attack an initiate takes a precisely aimed attack.
Ranged Precision was changed to a combat style mode. Ranged Precision reduces your total attacks to 2 (before Rapid Shot/Haste) but increases your damage per shot by 1d6 at level 1 and for every odd OOBI level, ending at 5d6 at OOBI 9.
An initiate’s ranged precision attack only works against living creatures with discernible anatomies. Any creature that is immune to critical hits (either naturally or through a class, item or ability benefit) is not vulnerable to a ranged precision attack. Unlike with a rogue’s sneak attack, the initiate’s target does not have to be flat-footed or denied its Dexterity bonus, but if it is, the initiate’s extra precision damage stacks with sneak attack damage. Use: Selected as a Mode

Sharp Shooting
 Type of Feat: Class Ability Prerequisites: Order of the Bow Initiate level 10 Specifics: You mark your target. Sharp Shooting fires a single arrow that, if it hits, negates enemy DR for the next 3 rounds. In addition, Sharp Shooting removes any missile protection effects the enemy might have, such as Storm Avatar. Sharp Shooting can be used 3 times per day. Use: Selected

Dead Eye Shot
 Type of Feat: General Prerequisites: Point Blank Shot, Base Attack Bonus + 4 Specifics: By firing just as your ally connects with a blow, you take advantage of the distraction to strike the same enemy when his guard is ruined. If you ready a ranged attack to occur when an ally strikes a particular target, and your ally succeeds, that target loses his Dexterity bonus to AC against your attack. Use: Selected

(Notice: Abilities only work with bows, not crossbows,slings)

*[[Guild Thief]] gains '''sneak attack''' +1d6 at 1st level, and increases by 1d6 every second level (3rd and 5th). At 5th level the final value is +3d6.
*[[Bodyguard]] gains '''sneak attack''' +2d6 at 3rd level from [[Bodyguard#Frantic Reactions|Frantic Reactions]].
*[[Divine Seeker]] gains '''sneak attack''' +1d6 at 2nd level, and increases to +2d6 at 5th level.
*[[Whirling Dervish]] gains '''sneak attack''' +1d6 every three levels, for a total of +3d6 at level 9.
*[[Master of Disguises]] gains '''sneak attack''' +1d6 at 3nd level, and increases to +2d6 at 5th level.
*[[Darkfire Disciple]] gains '''sneak attack''' +1d6 every three levels, for a total of +3d6 at level 9.

'''Specifics:''' Whenever the character makes a successful attack against an opponent who is [[flat-footed]], cannot see them, or who is in combat with someone else, the character's blow delivers extra damage. This extra damage is not multiplied in the case of a critical hit. Sneak attack bonuses stacks from any source.

'''Use:''' Automatic. Monsters of the construct and undead types are immune to sneak attacks, as are any creatures that are immune to critical hits. The damage from an Assassin's Death Attack is calculated differently than normal sneak attack damage. Because of this, if the character has Epic Precision, death attack will do full damage but will not paralyze the target if it is immune to critical hits.

== Gameplay Notes ==

=== How sneak attack works: Mechanics ===

The extra damage is of the same type as the weapon you hit with (so a [[longsword]] deals [[slashing]] damage). The weapon you use does not matter (a [[greatsword]] is as effective as a [[dagger]]). It applies for every single attack that hits (so includes offhand weapons and the like). They are totally automatic and have no penalty to hit.

For ranged attacks to be considered sneak attack there is an additional restriction that the attacker must be within 30 feet (roughly one tile of an interior area).

A normal attack is upgraded to a sneak attack under the following circumstances (for both melee or ranged attacks):
* [[Flat-foot|Flat-Footed]] - Target is [[stunned]], [[paralysis|paralyzed]], [[Sleep_(effect)|asleep]]. Unlike NWN a target who has been [[Knockdown|knocked down]] is not automatically subject to sneak attacks.
* No sight of attacker - If the target cannot see the attacker ([[blindness]], [[invisibility]], and [[stealth]] might apply for this situation).
* The target is being [[Flank|flanked]].
* The target is under the effects of [[Feint]].
* The target is under the effects of [[Impromptu Sneak Attack]].

This means spellcasters who are casting defensive spells, or not attacking the target, can have their concentration broken more easily by sneak attacks.

=== Defenses against sneak attacks ===

* [[Improved Uncanny Dodge]] - A character with this feat cannot be the victim of sneak attacks from [[Flank|flanking]] (sneak attacks from other sources still apply) unless the attacker has 4 or more levels in classes that grant sneak attack (such as [[Rogue]] or [[Assassin]]) than the defender has class levels in classes that grant Improved Uncanny Dodge.
* Immunity to Sneak attacks. [[Dragon]]s have a specific immunity to sneak attacks.
* Immunity to Critical Hits. Any creatures who are immune to critical hits are also immune to sneak attacks (note that while this should be true, it doesn't always work and Deathless Mastery is one such). Some creatures have immunity to critical hits (e.g. [[Elemental]]s, [[Undead]], [[Construct]]s) as a racial property. Others can gain it as a class ability ([[Deathless Mastery]]), from a spell ([[Iron Body]], [[Stone Body]] or [[Living Undeath]]), or a [[Spell-like ability|spell like ability]] ([[Oaken Resilience]]).

[[Epic Precision]] allows a character to perform a limited sneak attack against an opponent who is immune to sneak attacks or critical hits. The sneak attack will then deal half damage, but additional effects, such as those from [[Bleeding Wound]], [[Crippling Strike]] and [[Death Attack]] will not be applied to the target. However, Epic Precision will allow full damage from a Death Attack.

=== Sneak attack additional ===

These feats work with, or do a special version of, sneak attack:
* [[Bleeding Wound]] - An [[Invisible Blade]] gains this modified form of sneak attack at level 1; it increases in rank at the 3rd and 5th level of that class. An opponent who is damaged by sneak attack takes two points of damage per rank of bleeding wound for the next 3 rounds.
* [[Crippling Strike]] - A rogue with this ability can sneak attack opponents with such precision that her blows weaken and hamper them. An opponent damaged by one of her sneak attacks also takes 2 points of Strength damage.
* [[Death Attack]] - At 1st level, the assassin can make a special sneak attack called a death attack. This ability adds to the rogue's sneak attack ability, adding an extra 1d6 points of damage. If used against an opponent not already in combat, a successful Death Attack forces the victim to make a Fortitude save or become paralyzed.
* [[Epic Precision]] - This ability allows sneak attack to damage enemies who are immune to critical hits and sneak attacks. These sneak attacks only do 50% of normal damage and additional effects such as [[Bleeding Wound]], [[Crippling Strike]] and [[Death Attack]] are not applied. Epic precision '''''will''''' allow for full damage from a Death Attack.
* [[Feint]] - An opponent who falls victim to the Feint feat (opposed check of d20 + [[Bluff]] skill versus d20 + BAB + [[Spot]] skill) is considered flat-footed for the rest of the round and can be sneak attacked.
* [[Impromptu Sneak Attack]] - Once per day, a 3rd-level arcane trickster can use this ability to deny an enemy his Dexterity bonus to AC for one round, allowing the target to be sneak attacked. The arcane trickster gains an additional daily use of this ability at 7th level, and again at 9th level.

==3.5 Sneak attack==
If a [[class]] with this feature can catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from her attack, she can strike a vital spot for extra damage.

The [[character]]’s attack deals extra damage any time her target would be denied a [[dexterity]] bonus to [[AC]] (whether the target actually has a dexterity bonus or not), or when the rogue [[flanking|flanks]] her target. This extra damage is not increased by [[critical hit]] damage multiplier.

If a character gets sneak attack from multiple sources the bonuses to damage [[stack]].

===Nonlethal damage===
With a sap (blackjack) or an unarmed strike (or a weapon with the merciful property), a rogue can make a sneak attack that deals nonlethal damage instead of lethal damage. She cannot use a weapon that deals lethal damage to deal nonlethal damage in a sneak attack, not even with the usual –4 penalty.

===Ranged restrictions===
Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks only if the target is within 30 feet.

===Target restrictions===
A character can sneak attack only living creatures with discernible anatomies. Any creature that is immune to critical hits is not vulnerable to sneak attacks.

'''e.g.''' Undead, constructs, oozes, plants, and incorporeal creatures lack vital areas to attack.

The character must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. A rogue cannot sneak attack while striking a creature with concealment or striking the limbs of a creature whose vitals are beyond reach.

==NWN comparison==
*'''Assassins''' in NWN don't directly gain sneak attack bonus. Instead, the additional damage is incorporated into an altered version of the [[death attack]] ability.

}}

==Description==
'''Premonition''' allows you to see a few moments into the future. This grants you [[damage reduction]] 30/[[adamantine]]; the spell absorbs 10 points of melee damage per caster level before collapsing.

== Gameplay Notes ==

Note: Adamantine weapons get past almost all forms of magical damage resistance.

Usually Sorcerors and Wizards can do without Greater Stoneskin and Premonition when they have proper party support and do not enter melee combat ([[Protection from arrows]] and [[Stoneskin]] can provide the same basic protection against ranged attacks). Better spells do exist to entirely avoid attacks (important since Adamantine weapons can completely bypass this, and this spell doesn't stop attacks, but just stops the basic weapon damage - therefore, knockdown, extra weapon damage, and anything over 30 points of damage still affect the caster anyway). Alternatives are the use of [[Displacement]] and other concealment spells, and [[Invisibility]] to move out of combat if engaged.

It is still useful in most cases as a long-term protective spell for adventurers, and especially against lower level encounters where the enemy is unlikely to ever bypass the protection it offers. It cannot be cast on others so very few mages would prepare multiple castings (instead, relying on a backup scroll (or rod) to cast it).

Since it is such a standard protection spell, Adamantine weapons are costly (adamantine weapons also provide extra non-physical damage). Wizards are much better to not get into melee combat at all, or use personal spells such [[Mirror Image]], [[Displacement]] and [[Invisibility, Greater]] to conceal themselves against attacks if they do get into melee, although this spell does help against most enemies.

Its long duration means that most mages will cast this, if adventuring, during the start of the day when they are a high enough level.

== Bugs ==

There is an extremely weird bug hard-coded into the engine: If a spellcaster wielding an adamantine weapon in his right hand casts a spell that deals physical damage, the spell will bypass any damage reductions on the target, including Premonition, Stoneskin, Greater Stoneskin, Ethereal Visage, Shadow Shield, and Stone/Iron Body. Affected spells are Earthquake, Bombardment, Evard's Black Tentacles etc. Only the right hand weapon matters, the weapon in the left hand doesn't matter. For example, the King of Shadows in the OC wields adamantine weapons and when he casts Earthquake etc., the game will deal standard damage, completely ignoring any damage reduction spells.

To bypass this bug, the spell scripts need to remove the Adamantine material type from the weapon of the spellcaster before he creates the damage effect and re-apply it after the effect is created. Note that it is the effect CREATION that matters, not the actual effect application. If the damage effect is created by somebody without an adamantine weapon in his right hand, damage reduction will not be bypassed, even if the damage is applied by somebody wielding an adamantine weapon.

Also, concerning AoE spells like Evard's Black Tentacles, the damage effect is constantly re-created by the AoE-creator when applicable, so damage reduction will be bypassed as long as the AoE creator has an adamantine weapon equipped, but if he unequips the weapon, damage reduction kicks in, even if the AoE itself was created with an adamantine weapon equipped. So in order to fix, the scripts NW_S0_EvardsA (onEnter) and NW_S0_EvardsC (Heartbeat) need to be fixed, NOT the AoE creation script NW_S0_Evards.nss!

So a fix for Earthquake (X0_S0_Earthquake.nss) could look like this:

<code>
object oWeapon=GetItemInSlot(INVENTORY_SLOT_RIGHTHAND, OBJECT_SELF);

if(oWeapon!=OBJECT_INVALID && GetItemBaseMaterialType(oWeapon)==GMATERIAL_METAL_ADAMANTINE)

{

SetItemBaseMaterialType(oWeapon,GMATERIAL_NONSPECIFIC);

DelayCommand(0.0f,SetItemBaseMaterialType(oWeapon,GMATERIAL_METAL_ADAMANTINE));

}

ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, EffectDamage(nDamage, DAMAGE_TYPE_BLUDGEONING), oTarget);
</code>

The script above checks if the spellcaster (OBJECT_SELF) wields an adamantine weapon. If he does, the adamantine type is replaced by non-specific material type. The adamantine type is then re-applied to the weapon in a delayed command AFTER the spellcaster creates the damage effect - EffectDamage(nDamage, DAMAGE_TYPE_BLUDGEONING). Because the adamantine property was not present at the time of the damage effect creation, the damage will be properly intercepted by Premonition and similar spells.

Alternatively, it is possible to use somebody else to create the effect (the spell target, for example), although chances are the target is wielding an adamantine weapon as well:

<code>
AssignCommand(oTarget,ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, EffectDamage(nDamage, DAMAGE_TYPE_BLUDGEONING), OBJECT_SELF));
</code>

== 3.5E notes ==

There is no "Greater Stoneskin" in the core rulebook, and Premonition exists but in an entirely different manner (providing a single bonus to a check instead of full damage reduction). These were made due to give a line of damage resistance spells where other high level protection spells were not possible in NWN2.
