Counterspelling

2017-09-05T22:50:10Z

68.39.96.185: Removed information pertaining to Mastery Counterspelling since the feat is no longer available.

[[File:Counterspell.jpg|thumb]]These feats are custom to Baldurs Gate: The Sword Coast Chronicles. They were implemented based on their Pencil and Paper incarnations and the work Obsidian had initially done to include them in NWN2.

Counterspell This is a free feat since it is a base action, any character will receive it for free if elligeble at level 1 of his class! Type of Feat: General Prerequisites: None Specifics: To use a counterspell, you must select an opponent as the target of the counterspell. You may still move at full speed as well as attack and cast spells but any action other than walking will leave you unable to perform the counterspell If the target of your counterspell tries to cast a spell, a Spellcraft check (DC 15 + the spell's level) is made. If the check succeeds, you correctly identify the opponent’s spell and can attempt to counter it. If the check fails, you can still attempt to dispel but you cannot use the same or an opposite version of the spell. It is possible to cast any spell as a counterspell. By doing so, you are using the spell’s energy to disrupt the casting of the same spell by another person or monster. Counterspelling works even if one spell is divine and the countered spell is arcane. To complete the action, you must then cast the correct spell. As a general rule a spell can always counter itself but some spells are natural opposites such as haste and slow which will also negate each other. If you are able to cast the same spell or a natural counter and you have it prepared (if you prepare spells), you cast it, altering it slightly to create a counterspell effect. If the target is within range, both spells automatically negate each other with no other results. Otherwise a dispel check is made if you have any dispelling spells memorized. Metamagic effects will make dispel and identify checks harder with quickened spells being most difficult to counter. The general rule is DC + 2 for metamagic but DC + 4 for quickened spells. If there are multiple options to counter a spell with the lowest level spell possible is selected to prevent waste. When dispelling this is not the case, the system will always choose a dispel that has a reasonable chance of success unless it has no other choice. Use: Selected

Improved Counterspelling 
Type of Feat: Spellcasting 
Prerequisites: Counterspelling 
Specifics: When counterspelling, you may use a spell of the same school that is one or more spell levels higher than the target spell. The lowest level spell possible is selected. Use: Automatic

Reactive Counterspelling 
Type of Feat: Spellcasting Prerequisites: Improved Counterspell, Improved Initiative Specifics: Once per round, you can counterspell an opponent's spell even if you have not readied an action to do so. This counterspell action takes the place of your next turn. Use: Automatic if the mode is on

Epic Counterspelling 
Type of Feat: Spellcasting Prerequisites: Reactive Counterspell, Improved Iniative, 30 ranks in Spellcraft Specifics: Any number of times per round, you can counterspell an opponent's spell even if you have not readied an action to do so. Such a counterspell doesn't count against your later actions for the round. Use: Automatic

Dimensional Lock

2017-06-13T17:51:35Z

68.39.96.185:

===Dimensional Lock===

Caster Level(s): Clr 8, Wiz / Sor 8
Innate Level: 8
School: Abjuration
Components: Verbal, Somatic
Range: Medium
Target: Area wide
Duration: 1 minute / Casterlevel
Saving Throw: No
Spell Resistance: Yes

 You create a shimmering emerald barrier that completely blocks extradimensional travel into and from the entire area. Creatures that enter the dimension lock itself are struck with effects as per the spell Dimensional Anchor (which may outlast the lock itself). Forms of movement that are barred include astral projection, blink, dimension door, ethereal jaunt, etherealness, gate, maze, plane shift, shadow walk, teleport, and similar spell-like or psionic abilities. Once a dimensional lock is in place extradimensional travel into or out of the area map is not possible. A dimensional lock does not interfere with the movement of creatures already in ethereal or astral form when the spell is cast, nor does it block extradimensional perception or attack forms. Also, the spell does not prevent summoned creatures from disappearing at the end of a summoning spell.

Hierophant

68.39.96.185: /* Requirements */ changed to indicate Lore Nature being able to unlock the class - Endelyon

[[File:396_hierophant_druid.jpg|thumb|300px]]

== Description ==
A divine spellcaster who rises high in the service of his deity gains access to spells and abilities of which lesser faithful can only dream.

The hierophant is a prestige class of clerics and druids. Hierophants are higher members of clergy and druidic circles who decide to temporarily forgo gaining the highest levels of divine magic in order to concentrate on the mastery of what they already possess. This has the chief consequence of having spells that are much more potent than normal, allowing hierophants to heal and damage much more efficiently and powerfully through understanding rather than calling on more involved prayers.

== Requirements ==
Race: Any

Alignment: Any

Skills: Lore ( Religion ) 15 ranks OR Lore ( Nature ) 15 ranks

Feats: Any metamagic feat

Spell level: Able to cast 7th Circle Divine spells or higher

Class: Cleric, Druid, Spirit Shaman.

== Class Features ==
- Hit Die: d8

- Base Attack Bonus: Medium

- High Saves: Fortitude, Will

- Weapon Proficiencies: A hierophant gains no weapon proficiencies.

- Armor Proficiencies: a hierophant gains no armor proficiencies.

- Skill Points: 2 + Int Modifier.

- Class Skills: Concentration, Craft Armor, Craft Weapon, Craft Alchemy, Heal, Spellcraft, Lore

- Spells per Day/Spells Known: At every level except the Hierophant gains more spells per day. If a character had more than one spellcasting class before becoming a hierophant, he must decide which class he adds the new level for purposes of determining spells per day.

- Hierophant Levels stack with Cleric (+ Morninglord of Lathander) Levels for [http://nwn2.wikia.com/wiki/Turn_Undead Turning Undead].

Thayan Knight

2017-03-23T23:47:46Z

68.39.96.185: Changed Weapon Focus (Longsword) to Weapon Focus (Any).

== Class Description ==
[[File:Thayan knight.jpg|thumb|282x282px]]
While the Red Wizards are not opposed to blasting their opponents with deadly spells or shredding the minds of their enemies with dark magic, there are times when they need protectors who have mastered the art of swordplay. These protectors are the Thayan Knights, familiar with magic and loyal to none but the tattooed mages.

The Thayan Knights act as bodyguards and enforcers for the Red Wizards and as an extension of their reach. They lead common Thayan troops into battle and help guard the wizard enclaves. Although they are referred to as knights, they have no code of conduct, and the only rule that binds them is that their lives are worth nothing compared to the safety of the Red Wizards. Almost all Thayan knights are fighters, although monks and rangers have been known to pursue this career. Barbarians are typically too reckless to concentrate on defense, and the Red Wizards consider other individuals too weak for the duties of a Thayan knight.

A character can achieve a maximum of 5 levels in the Thayan Knight prestige class.
