Thief Acrobat

2023-02-24T12:50:16Z

Zanniej:

==Description==
Like any large guild, a thieves’ guild has many specialists within its ranks—pickpockets, burglars, swindlers, and even highway robbers. None of these, however, have the prestige of a Thief Acrobat—the superlative second-storey burglar who is infamous for daring escapades across the city’s rooftops.

The Thief Acrobat excels at getting into and out of places no one else can. If every street-level entrance to the Jewelers’ Guild House is locked and well guarded, the thief-acrobat simply jumps atop the building from the roof of a nearby inn, throws a grappling hook to the highest minaret, runs up the attached rope to a shuttered window, and quickly picks the lock. Should her escape go awry once she has the goods, her gymnastic combat style keeps her out of harm’s way.

Most Thief Acrobats began as rogues and worked their way up through a guild’s ranks, but even Rangers, Barbarians, and even Illusionists (who wind up working for various regional thieves' guilds) are known to pursue the acrobatic arts from time to time.

==Requirements==
'''Feats:''' [[Evasion]], [[Dash]], Skill Focus: Tumble or Skill Focus: Escape Artist

'''Skills:''' [[Acrobatics]] 10 ranks, [[Escape Artist]] 10 ranks

|}

====Kip Up (Ex)====
At 1th level, as a free action, a thief-acrobat may immediately stand up from any prone position. She may only do this if she is wearing light or no armor and is unencumbered.

====Agile Fighting (Ex)====
A whirling, spinning thief-acrobat is a devilishly difficult target. Starting at 2nd level, a thief-acrobat gains a +1 dodge bonus to Armor Class. After 4th level and when using combat expertise this bonus becomes +2. This bonus is only applied if she is wearing light or no armor and is unencumbered. At 4th level, Agile Fighting also grants Knockdown immunity.

====Improved Knockdown (Ex)====
At 3rd level, the thief-acrobat gains Improved Knockdown as a bonus feat.

====Springboard (Ex)====
The thief-acrobat somersaults into the air, bouncing off any foes in her way to pass beyond them nimbly and gaining a +4 Dodge Bonus to AC for 2 rounds. In addition, any foes she touches during these gymnastics must pass a fortitude save (DC 10 + TA level *2 + Dex mod) or be stunned for one rounds. The Thief Acrobat may use this ability as often as once per minute as long as she is wearing light or no armor and is unencumbered.

====Skill Mastery (Acrobatics) (Ex)====
At level 4, a character with skill mastery can't roll less than 5 for the selected skill, even in combat.

====Improved Evasion (Ex)====
A 5th-level thief-acrobat can avoid damage from certain attacks with a successful Reflex save and takes only half damage on a failed save. She may only do this if she is wearing light or no armor and is unencumbered.

Update:

* New feature: Skill Mastery (Acrobatics), level 4. A character with skill mastery can't roll less than 5 for the selected skills, , even in combat.
* Thief Acrobats can no longer use their abilities while using a shield heavier than light.

* Kip-up is now level 1, and only grants guaranteed success on kip-up checks (see Acrobatics skill in Skills section).

* Springboard is now a buff to the Acrobatics action rather than a separate action. The feat will have its cooldown triggered when Tumble is used, so the Springboard feat can still be used to monitor this, but Springboard cooldown only affects the springboard-specific effects. When you use Tumble, if you have Springboard available, it will perform its stun/AC boost and trigger the cooldown when using the Tumble action if the enemy fails their saving throw (DC 10 + TA level *2 + Dex mod). If Springboard is on CD, you can still use Tumble, but it will not perform the springboard effects until the CD is available again.

Cavestalker

2021-07-07T20:17:17Z

Zanniej: Reverted edits by Nathaniel (talk) to last revision by 161.185.151.250

[[File:CaveStalker.jpg|thumb|312px]]

== Class Notice ==
Cavestalker abilities give their full stats in the Underdark, non-underdark caves that are nearer to the surface usually only give half the bonuses.

Skill bonuses gained through this class do not count against your stacking limits.

Underdark Affinity for the Ranger camouflage feat will only give 75% of your full movement in stealth, instead of 100%. This is because underground terain is harder to navigate stealthily than wildlands on the surface. [Note: Is currently bugged, not verified to work]

== Description ==
''' '''The Underdark’s most dangerous predators are not its horrific monstrosities, crawling and festering in the darkest of grottoes. Rather, they are the deadly cavestalkers, moving effortlessly through a jungle of living rock—and none are as much at home in these caverns as the drow. Just as a surface ranger feels at peace in the heart of a virgin forest, so too is a cavestalker is at home in the wilds of the Underdark. Yet even in his most familiar environment, he is aware of the ever-present danger that surrounds him. It is in the task of surviving this endless peril that he finds peace away from so-called “civilized folk.”

Rangers and druids are natural candidates for the cavestalkerclass. Underdark races that choose the path of the druid or ranger find little use for the abilities of those classes that are attuned to the wilderness of the surface. The cavestalker class augments and hones those abilities, making them more suitable for use in the endless night and providing a true advantage for those that live away from the light. Rogues occasionally become cavestalkers, since their high skill point allotment allows them to achieve the requirements more easily than other classes. Other classes might enjoy the benefits of becoming a cavestalker, but would likely fi nd meeting the requirements to be prohibitive. Regardless of class, only individuals who have natural darkvision can achieve the affinity with the lightless depths necessary to become a cavestalker.

== Requirements ==
Race: Any

Alignment: Any

Skills: 8 [[Survival]], 4 [[Lore: Dungeoneering]]

Feats: Track

Base Attack Bonus: +3

Special: The candidate must posses [[Darkvision]]

== Class Features ==
- Hit Die: d8

- Base Attack Bonus: High

- High Saves: Fortitude, Reflex

- Weapon Proficiencies: Cavestalkers gain no weapon proficiencies.

- Armor Proficiencies: Cavestalkers gain no armor proficiencies.

- Class Skills: [[Heal (skill)|Heal]], [[Hide]], [[Listen]], [[Lore: Dungeoneering]], [[Lore: Geography]], [[Lore: Local]], [[Lore: Nature]], [[Move Silently]], [[Search]], [[Sense motive]], [[Spellcraft]], [[Survival]], [[Tumble]]

- Spells per Day/Spells Known: Full caster progression only for rangers or druids (please re-log after gaining Cavestalker PrC, for progression to apply).

- Other progression:
* Full Animal companion progression
* Increase wildshape uses (but change the dragon shape feat to require 27 levels of Druid) 
* Cavestalker does not give access to druid wildshape forms

- Class Feats

Level 1: Advanced spelunker Level 2: Underdark affinity and hide of stone +1, Vermin Shape * Level 3: Bonus Feat Level 4: Cavesense Level 5: Expert spelunker Level 6: Gaseous form and hide of stone +2 Level 7: Bonus Feat Level 8: Blindfight Level 9: Void in space Level 10: Master spelunker and hide of stone +3.

CL STR CON DEX

6: 16 13 13

10: 19 16 16

14: 22 19 19

Cavalier (Paladin Class Kit)

2021-07-07T20:17:13Z

Zanniej: Reverted edits by Nathaniel (talk) to last revision by 161.185.151.250

This kit is not available at character creation and must be unlocked by meeting special requirements, listed below.
This kit has 19 levels.

== Description ==

Cavaliers lose access to the following abilities:
* Lay-on-hands.
* Turn Undead. (also, you cannot "pick-up" Turn Undead from another Class, such as Cleric. Essentially, this Kit '''blocks''' Turn Undead)
* Remove Disease.

== Requirements ==
Race: Any

Class: Paladin

===Kit Feats===
1: Favored Enemy I

2: Extra Smiting

3:

4:

5: Shield Bash,

6: Favored Enemy II

7:

8: Shield Charge

9:

10: Favored Enemy III

11: Shield Slam

12:

13:

14: Favored Enemy IV

15: Epic Prowess

16:

17:

18: Favored Enemy V

19: Great Smiting 1

== Favored Enemy ==
Specifics: Cavaliers may pick a favored enemy from the ranger list at levels 1, 6, 10, 14, and 18.
Use: Selection through a conversation triggered by a feat.

''Class courtesy of Rasael and thorough testing by the Quality Control Team.''
[[Category:Classes]]

== Gameplay Notes ==

== Bugs ==
Currently you receive Great Smiting already on your 18th level of Cavalier.

Because of the way Favored Enemy bonuses are calculated, it is not recommended to mix Ranger levels with Cavalier. When no Ranger levels are present, you will accurately gain your +1 damage to all FE's / FE (so +5 w/ 5 FE's as a Cavalier 19). However, if Ranger levels are present the calculation is (Ranger level divided by 5) + 1. So if you were to make a Paladin (Cavalier) 27/ Ranger 3 you would only get 1 damage vs. your 6 FE's, rather than 5 damage against your 5 FEs.

Breach Gnome

== Description: ==
[[File:Breach_gnome.png|thumb|204px]]A breachgnome is a mighty gnome who is skilled in fighting in cramped conditions. A high-level breachgnome in the right position can hold off a superior force for as long as his strength holds out. Such gnomes are trained to fight alone, and they excel at doing so.

Most breachgnomes are fighters, rangers, paladins, or barbarians - combatants who are well-suited to the demands of the position and can benefit most from the capabilities of the class. Rogues and bards sometimes take this class, but both they and sorcerers, wizards, and druids are normally better off avoiding hand-to-hand combat, so it is rare.

Breachgnomes sometimes work in small units, prepared to block off a number of different passages so that their fellows can either get into a better position or even escape. They are almost exclusively found in gnome villages or towns. Sometimes Breachgnomes can be found wandering along, searching for fellow gnomes in need of his unique skills.

Bodyguard

2021-07-07T20:17:03Z

Zanniej: Reverted edits by Nathaniel (talk) to last revision by 161.185.151.250

===Description===
Bodyguards are wardens with powers to shield others from harm and react to danger with equal parts focus and fury. Their abilities aren’t strictly defensive; they are trained to kill swiftly, not to endlessly absorb punishment until more help arrives. Bodyguards come from all walks of life, though the job is most suited for [[fighter]]s, [[ranger]]s, [[paladin]]s, [[rogue]]s, and [[monk]]s who have the necessary mix of martial prowess and combat reflexes.

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

===Requirements===

====Protective Aura====
At 1st level, the Bodyguard gains an aura that grants +2 to all [[saving throw]]s, +1 deflection bonus to armor class for all allies within 10 feet. This bonus does NOT apply to the Bodyguard, only to their allies. At 4th level, this bonus increases to +3 [[saving throw]]s, +2 deflection bonus, and the protection extends to allies within 15 feet.

====Guarding the Lord====
Beginning at 2nd level, the Bodyguard can protect one selected ally within 30 feet. This protection acts as the [[Shield Other]] spell cast at the Bodyguard's character level. The only difference with the spell is that the target only takes 30% damage (instead of 50%), and the Bodyguard takes half the initial damage rounded down (instead of the remaining). This ability can be used three times per day.

====Frantic Reactions====
At 3rd level, the Bodyguard can rush across the battlefield and defeat the enemies plaguing their allies. This translates to a 10% increase in movement speed, +2 bonus to AC against attacks of opportunity provoked by movement and +2d6 [[Sneak Attack|sneak attack]] damage.

====All-Out Assault====
At 5th level, the Bodyguard can concentrate for a round and focus their strength, making all of their melee attacks for the next three rounds inflict maximum damage. However, at the end of each of these three rounds, the Bodyguard takes 10 points of damage from the incredible strain. This ability can be used once per day.
* The 10 points of damage are Magical, so a damage reduction of 10 Magical will prevent this 30 points of damage.
* Only some damage modifiers are maximized:
** Physical damage modifiers (additional bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing) are maximized.
** non-Physical damage modifiers (e.g. Cold, Magical, Acid) are '''not''' maximized.
** [[Sneak Attack]] damage is '''not''' maximized.

Blood Magus

2021-07-07T20:16:57Z

Zanniej: Reverted edits by Nathaniel (talk) to last revision by 161.185.151.250

[[File:Blood_Mage_by_Elfdaughter.jpg|thumb|348px]]

== Class Description ==
Taught in the shadow, Blood Magi practice the art of fueling spells with the essence of life, blood. A Blood Magus is a powerful individual, schooled in the profane and knowledgeable of the darkest secrets of magic. A powerful Blood Magus is capable of extending her life, sacrifice her life force or the life force of others to power her spells and an array of bloody rituals. In civilized areas the use of such magic is frowned upon and considered barbaric as well as dangerous because of the harm its disciples often inflict upon others to fuel their horrid spells and rituals. Students of this profane form of magic often do so in isolation for fear of discovery although the ability itself it is not innately evil.

The most common forms of blood magic encountered are monstrous rituals of sacrifice practiced by Orcs and Goblins or the more benign forming of blood bonds and promises between warriors by cutting their hands and shaking it or by consuming their comrade's blood. In some backward regions it is also still custom to sign important contracts and deeds in blood or to drink the blood of slain enemies to take their strength. Blood has always been indelibly linked to the supernatural. It represents fertility, strength and life itself. The giving up of life force or life energy, whether voluntary or not, is a sacrifice of great potency.

Blood Magic can be exceptionally evil and corrupting because of the 'easy' power it offers, for this reason it is outlawed and shunned in all civilized societies regardless of alignment. Those that have attempted to regulate the practice have historically ended up with power crazed cabals of Blood Magi which (attempt to) sacrifice their patrons, apprentices, colleagues and other Mages. Another notable drawback to the practice of this profane form of magic is that it only works creatures that have blood. In light of this the position of Blood Magic in the realms has been relegated to being both exotic and dangerous in favor of the reliable traditional tenets of Arcane study. Finding a practicing Blood Magus can be considered extremely rare as they have almost always given in to the inherent malign-capriciousness their abilities promote.

'''Practicing any sort of visible Blood Magic means consenting to be killed on sight by other players and civilized NPCs regardless of their heritage or alignment. It does not give licence to kill others however, the Blood Magus must still observe the PvP rules.'''

Exceptions to discovery are: Blood Component because it is a tiny pin-prick, Scarification and passive abilities. Use of Bloodwalk or Bloodseeking spell is almost guaranteed to end in being "outted."

== Background ==
Blood Magic is very old, as old as life and magic. It is a form of specialized necromancy that focuses on the manipulation of life's vital element: blood, through which magic can be empowered and the normally required ingredients may be substituted. For blood magic to be potent the sacrifice must be voluntary (the way spirit shamans use it on themselves if they have the feat), which is why victims are often manipulated or enspelled. Potent power can also be drawn from spilled blood and bleeding wounds, whether internally or external so long as the magic can access it. This is how Blood Magi normally power their spells, by injuring victims and drawing on their blood, reserving the more demanding sacrifices for rituals.

Because of how Blood Magic works the specialized field of the Blood Magus is a moral slippery slope. Despite not being inherently evil it produces many power crazed madmen and women, contributing to the bad reputation necromancy in general is known by. The fact that many evil monster races practice crude forms of blood magic and associated ritual sacrifice cements this reputation as practically beyond redemption.

Ever since the Mulhorandi people and their pantheon arrived on Faerun Blood Magic has been the domain of Set and has been almost exclusively practiced in the far east. With the ascension of Bhaal as part of the dead three Blood Magic has however begun to become less rare in the rest of Faerun, largely because Bhaal has been competing with Set to draw it into his portfolio. Blood Magic is now shared between the deities' portfolio's, neither possessing it exclusively. This is a source of continuous strife between Set and Bhaal, through it will not prevent them from allying temporarily if expedient. Finding practicing Blood Magi among Bhaal's faithful is quite common these days as those with a talent for the arcane are encouraged to take the easy path power that it promises. Blood Magic is still also practiced by those unaffiliated with Set or Bhaal, but these practitioners find themselves under their deific manipulations to tempt them into acts of wanton evil and lust for power or mayhem.

In the eastern nations of Mulhorand, Unther and Thay Blood magic is considered especially barbaric and unstable because of its more public historical record. Instead of having been largely restricted to use by monster races there have been repeated historical incidents involving power-crazed cabals of Blood Mages. In Mulhorand the practice is considered an unforgivable sin and implies links to Set. In Thay there are known cabals of mages who practice blood magic though the field of study is excluded from the school of Necromancy by ancient decree.

Thayan Blood Magi are not affiliated with any school of magic and are normally evicted once their dabbling becomes known, or is not immediately abandoned. Such Red Wizards normally live on the fringe of thayan society and are considered unsavory company at best. While most Thayans are perfectly happy to do business with Blood Mages it is always the sort of business others shouldn't know about. As a consequence many Blood Mages work as assassins or spies and face the risk of disappearing themselves if their employer wishes to tie up any loose ends. A particular animosity exists with the school of Necromancy, which wishes to eradicate the practice of Blood Magic for the unsavory reputation it attaches to necromancers and because of the mages which the promise of power tempts from its ranks.

Due to Set's initial exclusive incorporation of Blood Magic into his portfolio many literary sources are Mulhorandi in origin. Cabals of blood mages are outlawed in Mulhorand and barely tolerated in Thay because of their tendency towards wanton slaughter and the ritual sacrifice of fellow mages.

It is likely for that reason that students of Blood Magic on the Sword Coast may procure access to old Mulhorandi or Thayan sources, be it independently, through the manipulations of Bhaal, or of Set.

Blood Magic remained relatively obscure in ancient Netheril, the craft having been cataloged in Xinnizer's guide to the obscure Art which details exotic forms of magic, including Elven, but focusing in particular on primitive humanoid races. Xinnizer cataloged Blood Magic as being a form of ritual sacrifice practiced by various Orc and Goblin tribes in his day.

More detail is provided in Khuzon Delvind Dachar's account of Mulhorandi sects undermining the moral fabric of the Empire. In his account, known as Khuzon's warning, he describes blood magic in considerable detail, which led some to question whether the author had been involved first hand and was a remorseful reformist. While insightful and revealing a link to Set as well as some of the underlying magical principles the book does not provide any detail on the necessary preparation for the described (horrific) rituals and vile deeds. It is by this book that most Faerunian scholars know of the subject as it has been remarkably well preserved and copied many times by later generations seeking to strengthen the empire against Set's depredations. Such copies have inevitably also made their way to the Sword Coast, and though rare they are not impossible to acquire for people of means.

=== Blood Component ===
A blood magus may use a drop of his own blood as an additional spell's material component. The pinprick to draw the requisite blood is a free action that becomes a normal part of casting the spell. Using this ability deals the blood magus 1 point of damage but raises spell's caster level by 1.

Note: This stacks with Bloodseeking Spell and other spell power or caster level increases.

=== Stanch ===
The blood magus automatically stabilizes his wounds when his hit points drop below 0. He still passes on if he reaches -10 hit points or below.

=== Scarification ===
The blood magus learns to inscribe spells on his own skin for future use. Effectively, he gains the [[Scribe Scroll]] feat using an alternative medium. All rules, XP costs, and expenses that apply to [[Brew Potion]] also apply to this ability, with the following exceptions. Likewise, "reading" a scar follows the same rules as reading a scroll, but only a blood magus can decipher his own scars. A blood magus may only have six active scars at any one time. Scars store the Blood Magus' full caster level.

Note: You can only have one scar per spell level, so no storing of six level nine spells for example.

=== Death Knell ===
Two times per day the Blood Magus can use [[Death Knell]] as a spell-like ability. The target takes 2d4 points of negative energy damage. If this damage is lethal, the target decomposes and you gain 1d8 temporary hit points and a +2 bonus to Strength. You can only benefit from one casting of this spell at a time; its effects do not stack with itself.

=== Blood Draught ===
The blood magus learns how to store spells of up to 3rd level in his own blood. Effectively, he gains the [[Brew Potion]] feat using an alternative medium. All rules, XP costs, and expenses that apply to [[Brew Potion]] also apply to this ability, with the following exceptions. Once "brewed", a blood draught remains in circulation within the magus' body. The maximum number of draughts stored at one time is equal to his levels of blood magus plus his [[Constitution]] score, but if he is slain, they are all immediately ruined.

Note: These are effectively potions but they cannot be traded.

=== Bloodseeking Spell ===
The Blood Magus can imbue his spells with the ability to draw blood from their targets. To use this ability, a blood magus must inflict a wound upon himself; this is a free action that deals 3 points of damage to the blood magus and becomes a normal part of casting the spell. Damage reduction doesn't apply. A bloodseeking spell fuels itself on the blood of it's target increasing the caster level by 2. This ability is positively reviled throughout civilized lands because it is almost always associated with the ritual sacrifice of unwilling victims. Orcs and other monstrous races are known to practice such profane forms of magic but power crazed cabals are not unheard of in human domains either. Bloodseeking spells are an easy way to gain power but they start the Blood Magus down a path of profane corruption. '''Use of this ability marks the Blood Magus as having consented to be killed on sight by civilized races of any alignment.'''

Note: This stacks with Blood Component and other spell power or caster level increases.

=== Thicker than Water ===
The blood magus' vital fluids are partially under his conscious control. When he is injured, his blood withdraws from the wound, preventing 1 point of damage. Effectively, the blood magus has a "hardness" of 1. ([[Damage reduction]] 1/-)

=== Awaken Blood ===
The blood magus gains the supernatural ability to bestow momentary consciousness on an opponent's blood. Once per day, he can make a ranged touch attack against a living foe. If he hits, the opponent's blood attempts to get free - all at once. The hydrostatic pressure disrupts the victim's tissues, dealing 10d10 points of damage. If the target fails a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + Class Level + Blood Magus's Con modifier) he is also stunned for 1 round. Awaken Blood has a five-minute cooldown. '''Use of this ability marks the Blood Magus as having consented to be killed on sight by civilized races of any alignment.'''

=== Infusion ===
The blood magus prepares a special one time distillation of his own blood. Partaking of the infusion, he permanently gains 2 points of [[Constitution]].

=== Bloodwalk ===
The blood magus attains the supernatural ability to transport himself over great distances via the blood of living creatures. Once per day, as a standard action, he can seamlessly enter any one living creature whose size equals or exceeds his own and pass any distance to another living creature in a single round, regardless of the distance separating the two. If he desires, the blood magus may attempt to make a "bloody" exit from the destination creature. He bursts forth explosively from the creature's body, dealing 16d6 points of damage unless the target passes a Fortitude save (DC 10 + Class Level + Blood Magus's Con modifier).

This ability can be used to mark a person, to travel to this person as if by teleport or to attack a person. Use: Selected

Note: Cooldown is 5 minutes, an hour for the actual in-between areas teleport.

Gameplay Notes: When you are marking some person that person need to accept ( give consent mechanically) to be marked.
Once when he accept the rune will be created and it will be created in that persons inventory. So after that, you need to ask him to give you that rune so that you can teleport to him anytime and anywhere ...

Bladesinger

2021-07-07T20:16:48Z

Zanniej: Reverted edits by Nathaniel (talk) to last revision by 161.185.151.250

Bladesingers are elves who have blended art, swordplay, and arcane magic into a harmonious whole. In battle, a bladesinger’s lithe movements and subtle tactics seem beautiful, belying their deadly martial efficiency. Bladesingers have a treasured place in elf society, balancing the joys of art and magic with the skill of masterful fighting, and so bladesingers are well-respected by other elves. They usually serve as itinerant guardians and champions of the elf community at large rather than tying themselves to one particular settlement.

Most bladesingers work alone, sufficient unto themselves, but in larger communities they sometimes have the opportunity to fight together in the same combat. Bladesingers are normally trained singly by another
bladesinger, and the concept of anything as formalized as a bladesinger school is an absurd notion to them.

Multiclass fighter/wizards can become bladesingers most easily, though any elf who can wield a martial weapon and cast arcane spells can become a bladesinger. Bladesinging ranger/wizards or rogue/wizards are not unknown.

=== Spellcasting progression ===

6/10 Progression.

At every odd level and 10th level you gain new spells per day and an increase in caster level (and spells known) as if you had also gained a level in an arcane spellcasting class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level. If you had more than one spellcasting class before becoming a Bladesinger, you must decide which class gains the increased casting ability.

=== Bladesong Style ===

When wielding a longsword or rapier and having nothing in the off-hand, a bladesinger gains a dodge bonus to Armor Class equal to half her class level, up to a maximum of half her Intelligence bonus. If the bladesinger wears medium or heavy armor, she loses all benefits of the bladesong style. This bonus will not stack with the AC bonus granted by Invisible Blade or Duelist.

=== Skill focus Lore: Local ===
A bladesinger is immersed in the traditions and the ways of his people as part of his training.

=== Bonus Feat ===
At 4th level, the bladesinger gets a bonus feat. These feats must be drawn from the following list: any reserve feat, [[Blind Fight]], [[Feint]], [[One Weapon]], [[Deadly Defense]], [[Disarm]], [[Improved Critical]] (Weapon), [[Improved Disarm]], [[Mobility]], [[Spring Attack]], [[Whirlwind Attack]].

=== Song of Celerity ===
A bladesinger can imbue his sword with any hostile spell he memorized, only one spell at a time can be imbued within the weapon. It is cast at the target on a successful melee attack.

=== Freezing field ===
A bladesinger of 8th level is taught the spell Freezing field. Created ages ago to freeze the area around dragon wings to block and slow them so that they can't fly away this spell greatly reduces the movement speed of everyone in the area of effect and hampers both their offense and defense.

Specifics:
*-80 speed, -2 AC, -2 AB. Fortitude for half (cold immunity cancels the effect completely).
*DC is 10 + Bladesinger levels + spellcasting ability modifier.
*Duration : 1 round per bladesinger level.

=== Greater Spellsong ===
A bladesinger of 10th level ignores arcane spell failure penalties incured by wearing light armors.

=== Use Poison ===
A Blackguard can safely [[Poison]] his/her melee weapon without the need to make a [[Dexterity]] [[check]].

=== Smite Good ===
Once [[per day|a day]], a Blackguard of 2nd level or higher may attempt to smite a good-aligned enemy with one normal melee attack. The Blackguard adds their [[Charisma]] bonus to the [[attack roll]] and adds 1 extra point of damage per class level.

=== Dark Blessing ===
At 2nd level, the Blackguard applies their [[Charisma]] [[Ability modifier|modifier]] to all [[saving throw]]s.

=== Aura of Despair ===
Beginning at 3rd level, the Blackguard radiates a malign aura that causes enemies within 10 feet of them to take a –2 penalty on all [[saving throw|saving throws]].

=== Turn Undead ===
When a Blackguard reaches 3rd level, he gains the supernatural ability to [[Turn Undead]]. He may use this ability a number of times [[Per day|per day]] equal to 3 + his [[Charisma]] [[Ability modifier|modifier]]. He turns undead as a [[Cleric]] of two levels lower would.

=== Summon Fiend ===
At 5th level, the Blackguard can summon a hellfire hound (upgraded again at level 10).

=== [[Sneak Attack]] ===
At 4th level, the Blackguard gains the [[Sneak Attack|sneak attack]] ability. This ability functions exactly like the [[Rogue]] ability of the same name. The bonus damage is +1d6 at 4th level, +2d6 at 7th level, and +3d6 at 10th level.

=== Spells ===
At 2nd level, the Blackguard gains a spellbook. Spells require a base [[Wisdom]] score of 10 + [[spell level]] to be cast and can be picked in that [[Blackguard Spells|list]].

***NOTE ON BLACKGUARD CASTER LEVELS: Caster level calculation for Blackguard is: Blackguard levels + (non-Blackguard levels/2) = Caster Level. So a level 30 character with 8 or 9 Blackguard levels will have CL19 while a level 30 PC with 10 Blackguard levels will have CL20. Dragonslayer counts up to 6 of its levels as Blackguard levels, as per its optional Blackguard spell progression. For example a 10 rogue 10 Blackguard 10 Dragonslayer would have CL23.

Bard

2021-07-07T20:16:14Z

Zanniej: Reverted edits by Nathaniel (talk) to last revision by 161.185.151.250

== Description ==
A bard brings forth magic from his soul, not from a book. He can cast only a small number of spells, but he can do so without selecting or preparing them in advance. His magic emphasizes charms and illusions over the more dramatic evocation spells that wizards and sorcerers often use. In addition to spells, a bard works magic with his music and poetry. He can encourage allies, hold his audiences rapt, and counter magical effects that rely on speech or sound. Bards have some of the skills that rogues have, although bards are not as focused on skill mastery as rogues are. A bard listens to stories as well as telling them, of course, so he has a vast knowledge of local events and noteworthy items.

'''[[Alignment]] restrictions''': Any non-[[lawful]] - Bards are wanderers, guided by whim and intuition.
*Ex-bards = A bard who becomes lawful in alignment cannot progress in levels as a bard, though he retains all his bard abilities.

}}

===Spellcasting===
A bard casts arcane spells, which are drawn from the bard spell list. He can cast any spell he knows without preparing it ahead of time. To learn or cast a spell, a bard must have a Charisma score equal to at least 10 + the spell level (Cha 10 for 0-level spells, Cha 11 for 1st-level spells, and so forth). Starting at 8th level, and every three levels after, bards can replace one known spell with a new spell of the same level. The replaced spell must be two spell levels below what the bard can currently cast (1st level spell at 8, 1st or 2nd level spell at 11, 1st or 2nd or 3rd level spell at 14, and so forth). Bards do not suffer from arcane spell failure when wearing light armor. Medium and heavy armor, as well as all shields, still incur the normal failure chance.

===Bardic Knowledge===
A bard picks up a lot of stray knowledge while wandering the land and learning stories from other bards. He gets +1 to all lore skills for each 5 levels of bard.

===[[Bardic inspiration]]===
You can sing songs that can improve morale and mystically enhance the offensive and defensive strengths of the bard and his or her companions. These are constantly active buffs to the party and the bard with specific effects. Only 1 inspiration may be active at any time; and Requires 3 Ranks of [[Perform]].

*[[Inspire Courage]] (1st level): A bard can use song to inspire courage in his allies (including himself), bolstering them against fear and improving their combat abilities. This gives a bonus to hit and damage. It starts at +1, and becomes +2 at 8th level, +3 at 14th level, +4 at 20th level, +5 at 26th.
*[[Inspire Competence]] (2nd level): A bard can use his music to help an ally succeed at a task. This gives a skill bonus to all allies. It starts at +2 and becomes +4 at 11th level and +6 at 19th level and +8 at lv 27. The range is 30 feet.
*[[Inspire Defense]] (5th level): A bard can use song to inspire defense in his allies (including himself). This gives a dodge AC bonus to all allies. It starts at +2 and becomes +3 at 10th level, +4 at 15th level, +5 at 20th level, +6 at 25th level +7 at 30th level.
*[[Inspire Regeneration]] (7th level): A bard can use song to inspire regeneration in his allies (including himself). This heals all party members a certain number of hit points every two rounds. This starts at 1 hit point and becomes 2 at 12th level, 3 at 17th level,3 at 22th level, 5 at 27th level. This inspiration does not affect Constructs and Undead.
*[[Inspire Toughness]] (8th level): A bard can use song to inspire toughness in his allies (including himself). This gives a bonus to saving throws for all allies. It starts at +1, +2 at 13th level, +3 at 18th level, +4 at 23th level, +5 at 28th level.
*[[Inspire Slowing]] (11th level): A bard can use song to inspire slowing in his enemies. All enemies that come within 20 feet of the bard have to make a Will save (DC 13 + (1/2 Bard level) + CHA modifier) otherwise they will be slowed down. Initially they are slowed down 15% but at 16th level they are slowed by 30%. There are no further penalties besides movement, unlike the slow spell. It only ever affects enemies, never allies or neutrals.
*[[Inspire Jarring]] (14th level): A bard can use song to inspire jarring in his enemies. All enemies within 20’ of the bard suffer a -4 penalty to all Concentration checks and -2 to all Will saves.

===[[Bardic Music]]===
You can sing a song to help allies and hinder foes. As you progress in level and Performance skill, new songs become available and older songs become more powerful (Bard level/day).
*[[Countersong]] (requires Perform 3): This song puts a buff on the targeted ally that lasts for 10 rounds or until discharged. Any hostile magic that would affect the countersong's target has to make a Spell Resistance check of 10 + levels of Bard the singer possesses. Whether the spell is blocked or not, the countersong is discharged. A bard cannot cast this on himself, only on allies.
*[[Fascinate]] (requires Perform 3): Every hostile creature within 90 feet must make a Will save against a (DC of 11 + the bard's Charisma modifier). This is an enchantment (compulsion) mind-affecting ability. If the target fails this save, then they are dazed for 10 rounds and the bard is within 90 feet of them. If a creature is attacked, or is within 10 feet of a creature being attacked, the effect ends for that creature, though anyone who fails their saving throw will be dazed for at least one round. Fascinate affects up to one enemy per level of the bard.
*[[Haven Song]] (3rd level, requires Perform 6): This song renders all enemies who fail a Will save against (DC 11 + 1/2 Perform skill) to be unable to attack the bard for 10 rounds or until the bard takes hostile action against them or their allies (for example, attacking or casting a harmful spell). The Fascinate and Cloud Mind songs do not count as hostile actions. This song affects deafened targets.
*[[Cloud Mind]] (6th level, requires Perform 9): A single target makes a mind-affecting will saving throw against (DC 11 + 1/2 Perform skill) or is mesmerized for 10 rounds. The target only breaks out of his mesmerized state if attacked. This doesn't count as a hostile ability for breaking the effects of invisibility. Any creatures summoned by the mesmerized target will be calmed as well, because they technically count as an extension of the summoner. However, killing summoned creatures will NOT break the enchantment on the caster, as long as he himself is not affected. For example, if a wizard summons an elemental and the bard sings Cloud Mind, both the enemy spellcaster and his summoned elemental will be calmed. Casting Word of Faith will kill the summoned elemental, but will not break the mesmerization effect on the spellcaster if he is outside the radius of Word of Faith.
*[[Ironskin Chant]] (9th level, requires Perform 12): This song gives the party damage reduction 5/- for 4 rounds. (The damage reduction applies to any type of damage, including magic damage.)
*[[Song of Freedom]] (12th level, requires Perform 15): This song will break curses and enchantments on allies with a check of d20 + bard's level against DC (11 + caster level of the effect to be dispelled). (The radius of this song is RADIUS_SIZE_MEDIUM, centred on the bard.)
*[[Song of Heroism]] (15th level, requires Perform 18): This song inspires either the bard or a single targeted ally. For 5 rounds, the inspired creature gains +4 dodge bonus to AC and a +4 morale bonus to saving throws. Additionally, the inspired creature gains +4 temporary hit points per level. There is a cool down of 20 rounds before this ability can be used again.
*[[Legionnaire's March]] (18th level, requires Perform 21): This song rallies all allies within 60 feet. The game determines the highest base attack bonus of all allies in the area of effect, and all affected characters now use this as their new base attack. All affected characters get a +4 competence bonus to damage rolls, as well. This ability lasts for 10 rounds. There is a cool down of 5 minutes (game time) before this ability can be used again.

=== Special Abilities ===
Some songs need to be selected as a general feat when Leveling up; and will be available IF the requirements are satisfied '''BEFORE''' leveling up to the availability of that song.
*[[Curse song]] (requires Perform 3) Bard Level = 1 : Bards are able to sing a song that can curse their enemies. https://nwn2.fandom.com/wiki/Curse_Song
*[[Lingering song]] (requires Perform 3) Bard Level = 6 : This ability causes the bard's songs to last an additional 5 rounds.

=== Armor restrictions ===
A bard can cast bard spells while wearing light armor without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance. However, like any other arcane spellcaster, a bard wearing medium or heavy armor or using a shield* incurs a chance of arcane spell failure if the spell in question has a somatic component (most do). A multiclass bard still incurs the normal arcane spell failure chance for arcane spells received from other classes. There is also an additional feat ([[Battle_caster|Battle Caster]]) that can be taken by bards (not inherent) that allows them to wear medium armor (but not use shields) without spell penalties. Note however that Medium Armor Proficiency is not included and bards do not get that feat for free.

*n.b. [[Shield]]s constructed from exotic materials such as [[Mithral]] and [[Zalantar]] have reduced or no [[Arcane Spell Failure]] chance.

===Casting===
A bard casts arcane spells, which are drawn from the bard spell list. He can cast any spell he knows without preparing it ahead of time. Every bard spell has a verbal component (singing, reciting, or music). To learn or cast a spell, a bard must have a Charisma score equal to at least 10 + the spell. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a bard’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the bard’s Charisma modifier.

Like other spellcasters, a bard can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level [[per day]].

In addition, he receives bonus spells per day if he has a high Charisma score.
The bard’s selection of spells is extremely limited. A bard begins play knowing four 0-level spells of your choice. At most new bard levels, he gains one or more new spells, as indicated on Table: Bard Spells Known. (Unlike spells per day, the number of spells a bard knows is not affected by his Charisma score; the Bard Spells Known is a fixed number.)

Upon reaching 5th level, and at every third bard level after that (8th, 11th, and so on), a bard can choose to learn a new spell in place of one he already knows. In effect, the bard “loses” the old spell in exchange for the new one. The new spell’s level must be the same as that of the spell being exchanged, and it must be at least two levels lower than the highest-level bard spell the bard can cast.

A bard may swap only a single spell at any given level, and must choose whether or not to swap the spell at the same time that he gains new spells known for the level.

As noted above, a bard need not prepare his spells in advance. He can cast any spell he knows at any time, assuming he has not yet used up his allotment of spells per day for the spell’s level.
