<p><b>DRAGOON (FIGHTER ARCHETYPE)</b>
<br />
Descendants of a race who shared a special bond with dragons, dragoons practice their spear techniques, and in battle they leap down from above to strike at their foes.</p>
<p><b>Skills:</b> Acrobatics and Knowledge (arcana) are class skills for the dragoon. </p>
<p><b>Weapon and Armor Proficiency:</b> A dragoon is proficient with all simple weapons plus the longsword, scimitar, short sword and all martial weapons from the polearms and spears weapon group. He is proficient with all armor (heavy, light, and medium) and shields (except tower shields). This alters the fighter’s weapon and armor proficiency. </p>
<p><b>Draconic Pool (Su):</b> At 1st level, a dragoon gains a reservoir of mystical energy that he can draw upon to awaken his powers. He has a number of points equal to 1/2 his dragoon level (minimum 1) + his Constitution modifier. The pool is replenished each morning after 8 hours of rest or meditation; these hours do not need to be consecutive.</p>
<p><b>High Jump (Ex):</b> At 1st level, a dragoon adds his level to all Acrobatics checks made to jump, both for vertical jumps and horizontal jumps. In addition, he always counts as having a running start when making jump checks using Acrobatics. A dragoon’s maximum height is not affected by his size and his jump is not affected by maximum movement speed, allowing him to eventually leap higher than his own height and further than his own movement speed. A dragoon may jump as part of a charge action and retains his Dexterity bonus to armor class while jumping.
<br />
As long as he has at least 1 point in his draconic pool, when he makes a high jump, the DC for that jump is half the normal DC. In addition, by spending 1 point from his draconic pool as swift action, anytime a dragoon rolls for Acrobatics to jump, he assumes the roll resulted in a natural 20.
<br />
A dragoon can't use this ability while wearing medium, heavy armor, or carrying a medium or heavy load. This ability replaces the bonus fighter combat feat gained at 1st level.</p>
<p><b>Armor Training (Ex):</b> In addition to the normal benefits, at 3rd level, a dragoon can high jump while wearing medium armor. At 7th level, a dragoon can high jump while wearing heavy armor. This ability alters armor training 1.</p>
<p><b>Dragoon Training (Ex):</b> At 5th level a dragoon gains a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls with spears and polearms. The bonus increases by +1 for every four levels beyond 5th. This ability replaces weapon training 1.</p>
<p><b>Ignore Height (Ex):</b> At 7th level, the dragoon becomes skilled at diving through the air and absorbing the impact of the long fall. He takes falling damage as if the fall were 30 feet shorter than it actually is. In addition, he never takes falling damage while using high jump. At 11th level he takes falling damage as if the fall were 60 feet shorter. At 15th level he takes falling damage as if the fall were 90 feet shorter. This ability replaces armor training 2, 3, and 4.</p>
<p><b>Meteor Strike (Ex):</b> At 9th level, a dragoon may fall from the sky upon their opponents to inflict more damage. As a full-round action, by spending 1 point from his draconic pool, a dragoon may charge toward his opponent using his high jump ability. By spending an additional point as part of the same action, whenever he jumps at least 10 feet from his opponent (vertically or horizontally) and strikes his foe using a spear or polearm, he deals double damage. This ability replaces weapon training 2,3, and 4.</p>
<p><b>Weapon Mastery (Ex):</b> A dragoon must choose a spear or polearm for his Weapon Mastery class feature.</p>This is my attempt to convert this iconic job to pathfinder. I'd like to ask for your help for balance matters. Thank you very much.

He uses the High Jump rules and treats the attack as a charge. If the attack hits, he deals extra damage. This extra damage is 1d6 at 5th level, and increases by 1d6 every four dragoon levels thereafter. Should the dragoon score a critical hit with a meteor strike, this extra damage is not multiplied.

She cannot be caught flat-footed, nor does she lose her Dex bonus to AC if the attacker is invisible. She still loses her Dexterity bonus to armor class if immobilized. A spry striker with this ability can still lose her Dexterity bonus to armor class if an opponent successfully uses the feint action against her.

<b> Advanced Armor Training:</b> A spry striker adds the following Advanced Armor Training to her options:
<br />
<b>AC Bonus (Ex):</b> When a spry striker wears light or no armor, she gains a +1 dodge bonus to AC and CMD. This bonus to AC applies against touch attacks. She loses this bonus while immobilized or helpless, wearing medium or heavy armor, or carrying a medium or heavy load. This bonus increases by 1 for every 4 levels beyond 7th (to a maximum of +3 at 15th level).
<br />
<b>Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex):</b> At 5th level, a spry striker can no longer be flanked. This defense denies a rogue the ability to sneak attack the spry striker by flanking her, unless the attacker has at least four more rogue levels than the target has fighter levels. If a character already has uncanny dodge from another class, the levels from the classes that grant uncanny dodge stack to determine the minimum rogue level required to flank the character.

I believe some of the old class abilities would be great as feats or arcane discoveries, but I decided to start by creating another subschool option. I really need your help for balance porpuses. Here it is:</p>
<p><b>Dread</b></p>
<p><b>Associated School:</b> Necromancy.</p>
<p><b>Replacement Power:</b> The following school power replaces the grave touch power and life sight power of the necromancy school.</p>
<p><b>Charnel Touch (Su):</b> As a standard action, you can make a melee touch attack against a living foe that deals 1d6 points of negative energy damage +1 for every two wizard levels. This touch heals undead creature, restoring 1 hit point +1 for every two wizard levels. A wizard can use the spectral hand spell to deliver this attack from a distance. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Intelligence modifier.</p>

I was trying to make an agile fighter, but none of the archetypes available suits it the way I wanted, so I ended uo creating this one. I would like to ask for your opinion about it.</p>
<p><b>Spry Striker (Fighter)</b>
<br />
The spry striker is an agile combatant who sacrifices the protection of heavier armors to increase speed and mobility. </p>
<p><b>Weapon and Armor Proficiency:</b> A spry striker is not proficient with medium armor, heavy armor or tower shields.</p>
<p><b>Skills:</b> Acrobatics (Dex), Escape Artist (Dex), Sleight of Hand (Dex), and Stealth (Dex) are all class skills for the spy striker.</p>
<p><b>Uncanny Dodge (Ex):</b> At 2nd level, a spry striker gains the ability to react to danger before her senses would normally allow her to do so. She cannot be caught flat-footed, nor does she lose her Dex bonus to AC if the attacker is invisible. She still loses her Dexterity bonus to armor class if immobilized. A spry striker with this ability can still lose her Dexterity bonus to armor class if an opponent successfully uses the feint action against her. If a spry striker already has uncanny dodge from a different class, she automatically gains improved uncanny dodge instead.</p>
<p><b>Nimble (Ex):</b> At 3rd level, a spry striker gains a +1 dodge bonus to AC while wearing light or no armor. Anything that causes the spry striker to lose her Dexterity bonus to AC also causes her to lose this dodge bonus. This bonus increases by 1 for every 4 levels beyond 3rd (to a maximum of +5 at 19th level). This ability replaces armor training I, II, III, and IV. </p>
<p><b>Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex):</b> At 5th level and higher, a spry striker can no longer be flanked. This defense denies a rogue the ability to sneak attack the spry striker by flanking her, unless the attacker has at least four more rogue levels than the target has fighter levels. If a character already has uncanny dodge from another class, the levels from the classes that grant uncanny dodge stack to determine the minimum rogue level required to flank the character.</p>Hello.

<p><b>Red Mage (Magus)</b>
<br />
Red mages are magus who blends arcane and divine magic in a single art. They focus on utility spells rather than raw power.</p>
<p><b>Spells:</b> A red mage uses the bard spell list, rather than the magus spell list.</p>
<p><b>Skills:</b> All Knowledge skills (Int) and Linguistics (Int) are class skill for the red mage.</p>
<p><b>Weapon and Armor Proficiency:</b> A red mage is proficient with all simple weapons, plus the longbow, shortbow and all martial swords. Red mages are also proficient with light armor and the buckler. A red mage can cast red mage spells while wearing light armor and using a buckler without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance. Also, she may use spell combat while using a buckler. Like any other arcane spellcaster, a red mage wearing medium armor, heavy armor or a shield other than the buckler incurs a chance of arcane spell failure if the spell in question has a somatic component. A multiclass red mage still incurs the normal arcane spell failure chance for arcane spells received from other classes. </p>
<p><b>Red Magic:</b> A red mage blends arcane and divine magic through an ancient art called red magic. This knowledge is acquired through research and experimentation and not through the power of faith. At 1st level, a red mage chooses one 0-level spell and one 1st level spell from the wizard spell list and adds to her spell list. The spells must be from the evocation school. She adds an additional evocation spell, of any level she can cast, every time she gains a new red mage level. </p>
<p><b>Magus Arcana (Su):</b> A red mage gains access to the following magus arcana. </p>
<p><b>Divine Blending:</b> When a red mage selects this arcana, she must select one spell from the cleric spell list that is at least one level lower than the highest magus spell level she can cast. She adds this spell to her spellbook and list of red mage spells known as a red mage spell one level higher than its cleric spell level. She can instead select two spells to add in this way, but both must be at least two levels lower than the highest-level red mage spell she can cast. A red mage can select this magus arcana more than once.</p>
<p><b>Spell Blending:</b> Instead of choosing spells from the wizard spell list, the red mage selects spells from the magus spell list.</p>
<p><b>Shields (Ex):</b> At 13th level, a red mage gains proficiency with shields (except tower shields). A red mage can cast magus spells while using a shield without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance. Additionally, she may use spell combat while using a shield. This ability replaces heavy armor.</p>
<p><b>Dualcast (Su):</b> At 19th level, the red mage gains the Quickened Magic magus arcana. Unlike the normal ability, the red mage can use it a number of times per day equal to her Intelligence modifier. If she already has Quickened Magic magus arcana, she adds to the number of times per day she can use it. This ability replaces Greater Spell Access.</p>Another try

<p>Red mages are magus who blends arcane and divine magic in a single art. They focus on utility spells rather than raw power. </p>
<p><b>Skills:</b> All Knowledge skills (Int) and Linguistics (Int) are class skill for the red mage. </p>
<p><b>Weapon and Armor Proficiency:</b> A red mage is proficient with all simple weapons, plus the longbow, shortbow and all martial swords. Red mages are also proficient with light armor and the buckler. A red mage can cast bard spells while wearing light armor and using a buckler without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance. Like any other arcane spellcaster, a red mage wearing medium armor, heavy armor or a shield other than the buckler incurs a chance of arcane spell failure if the spell in question has a somatic component. A multiclass red mage still incurs the normal arcane spell failure chance for arcane spells received from other classes. </p>
<p><b>Red Magic:</b> A red mage blends arcane and divine magic through an ancient art called red magic. Red mages gains access to a few divine spells, but this knowledge is acquired by research and experimentation and not through the power of faith. Add the following spells to the red mage's spell list: 0—detect poison; 1st—cure light wounds, lesser restoration, remove fear, remove sickness; 2nd—cure moderate wounds, delay poison, remove paralysis; 3rd—cure serious wounds, remove blindness-deafness, remove curse, remove disease; 4th—cure serious wounds, neutralize poison, restoration; 5th—cleanse, mass cure light wounds; 6th—heal, mass cure moderate wounds. Divine spells casted by a red mage are considered arcane spells. </p>
<p><b>Dualcast (Su):</b> At 2nd level, a red mage gains the ability t cast two spells at the same. As a full round action, she can cast two spells, both spells must have a casting time equal to 1 standard action or lower. This ability replaces spellstrike. </p>
<p><b>Magus Arcana (Su):</b> A red mage gains access to the following magus arcana.</p>
<p><b>Divine Blending (Ex):</b> When a red mage selects this arcana, he must select one spell from the cleric spell list that is of a magus spell level he can cast. He adds this spell to his spellbook and list of magus spells known as a magus spell of its cleric spell level. He can instead select two spells to add in this way, but both must be at least one level lower than the highest-level magus spell he can cast. A red mage can select this magus arcana more than once.</p>
<p><b>Shields (Ex):</b> At 7th level, a red mage gains proficiency with shields (except tower shields). A red mage can cast magus spells while using a shield without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance. This ability replaces medium armor.</p>
<p><b>Medium Armor (Ex):</b> At 13th level, a red mage gains proficiency with medium armor. A red mage can cast magus spells while wearing medium armor without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance. Like any other arcane spellcaster, a red mage wearing heavy armor incurs a chance of arcane spell failure if the spell in question has a somatic component. This ability replaces heavy armor.</p>
<p><b>Greater Spell Access (Su):</b> At 19th level, the red mage gains access to an expanded spell list. She learns and places 7 spells from the wizard’s spell list and 7 spells from the cleric spell list into her spellbook as magus spells of their wizard and cleric level. She gains two of each of the following wizard and cleric spells not on the magus spell list: 0-level, 1st-level, 2nd-level, 3rd-level, 4th-level, 5th-level, and 6th-level. She can ignore the somatic component of these spells, casting them without the normal chance of spell failure.</p>

<p><b>CLASS SKILLS</b>
<br />
The hexblade’s class skills are Bluff (Cha), Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Fly (Dex), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge (Arcana) (Int), Perception (Wis), Profession (Wis), Ride (Dex), Spellcraft (Int), Stealth (Dex), and Swim (Str).
<br />
<b>Skill Ranks per Level:</b> 4 + Int modifier. </p>
<p><b>CLASS FEATURES</b>
<br />
The following are class features of the hexblade. </p>
<p><b>Weapon and Armor Proficiency:</b> Hexblades are proficient with all simple and martial weapons, with light armor but not with shields. Because the somatic components required for hexblade spells are simple, a hexblade can cast hexblade spells while wearing light armor without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance. However, like any other arcane spellcaster, a hexblade 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. A multiclass hexblade still incurs the normal arcane spell failure chance for arcane spells derived from other classes.</p>
<p><b>Forced Omens (Sp):</b> A foreboding sense of doom travels with the hexblade, as candle lights flicker, fresh food turns green, or the air becomes stale. At will, a hexblade can use prestidigitation, as the spell.</p>
<p><b>Hexblade's Curse (Su):</b> Once per day, as a swift action, a hexblade can unleash a curse upon a foe. The target must be visible to the hexblade and within 60 feet. The target of a hexblade's curse takes a -2 penalty on all attack rolls, damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, ability checks, CMB, CMD, and armor class for the next hour. Spell resistance does not apply to a hexblade's curse, but a successful Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 hexblade's class level + Charisma modifier) reduces the effect by half and cuts the duration to just 1 round.
<br />
At 4th level, and at every three levels thereafter, the hexblade may curse one additional time per day, as indicated on Table: Hexblade, to a maximum of seven times per day at 19th level. Multiple hexblade's curses don't stack, and any foe that successfully resists the effect cannot be affected again by the same hexblade's curse for 24 hours.
<br />
Any effect that removes or dispels a curse eliminates the effect of a hexblade's curse.
<br />
A hexblade can utter only one hexblade's curse per round, even if he gets multiple curses per day.</p>
<p><b>Arcane Resistance (Su):</b> At 2nd level, a hexblade gains a bonus equal to his Charisma bonus (minimum +1) on saving throws against spells and spell-like effects. </p>
<p><b>Bonus Feat:</b> At 3th level, and every three levels thereafter, a hexblade gains a bonus feat in addition to those gained from normal advancement. These bonus feats must be from the following list: Arcane Strike, Combat Casting, Eschew Materials, Greater Spell Focus, Greater Spell Penetration, Silent Spell, Spell Focus, Spell Penetration, Still Spell, or any Hex feat. He must meet the prerequisites for these feats as normal.</p>
<p><b>Mettle (Ex):</b> At 3rd level and higher, a hexblade can resist magical and unusual attacks with great willpower or fortitude. If he makes a successful Will or Fortitude save against an attack that normally would have a lesser effect on a successful save (such as any spell with a saving throw entry of Will half or Fortitude partial), he instead completely negates the effect. An unconscious or sleeping hexblade does not gain the benefit of mettle.</p>
<p><b>Summon Familiar (Ex):</b> At 4th level, a hexblade gains a familiar, using his hexblade level -3 as his effective wizard level. This familiar follows the rules for familiars presented in the arcane bond wizard class feature. </p>
<p><b>Spells:</b> Beginning at 4th level, a hexblade gains the ability to cast a small number of arcane spells which are drawn from hexblade spell list. A hexblade can cast any spell he knows without preparing ahead of time. To learn or cast a spell, a hexblade must have a Charisma score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a hexblade’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the hexblade’s Charisma modifier.
<br />
Like other spellcasters, a hexblade can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. His base daily allotment is given on the class table above. In addition, he receives bonus spells per day if he has a high Charisma score.
<br />
A hexblade’s selection of spells in extremely limited. At fourth level, a hexblade gains knowledge of two 1st-level spells of his choice. At each new hexblade level, he gains knowledge of one or more new spells from the hexblade spell list, as indicated on the table below.
<br />
Upon reaching 7th level, and every three hexblade levels gained thereafter (10th; 13th; 16th; and 19th), a hexblade can choose to learn a new spell in place of one he already knows. In effect, the hexblade 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.
<br />
A hexblade may swap only a single spell at any given time, and must choose whether or not to swap the spell at the same time that he gains new spells known for the level.
<br />
Unlike a paladin or a ranger, a hexblade 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 spells per day for that spell level. To regain his daily spell slots, a hexblade must spend 1 hour each day in quiet meditation where he clears his mind and refreshes his arcane energies. Through 3rd level, a hexblade has no caster level. At 4th level and higher, his caster level is equal to his hexblade level -3.</p>

<p><b>Medium Armor (Ex):</b> At 5th level, a hexblade gains proficiency with medium armor. A hexblade can cast hexblade spells while wearing medium armor without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance. Like any other arcane spellcaster, a hexblade wearing heavy armor or using a shield incurs a chance of arcane spell failure if the spell in question has a somatic component. </p>
<p><b>Aura of Unluck (Su):</b> At 8th level, once per day, a hexblade can create a baleful aura of misfortune. Any melee or ranged attack (including spells) made against the hexblade while this aura of unluck is active has a 20% miss chance (similar to concealment) and any sneak attacks or critical hits inflicted on the hexblade have a 20% chance to be negated (similar to fortification).
<br />
Activating the aura is an immediate action, and the aura lasts for a number of rounds equal to 3 + the hexblade's Charisma modifier. At 12th level, and at every four levels thereafter, the hexblade may activate the aura one additional time per day. </p>
<p><b>Greater Curse (Su):</b> At 9th level, the hexblade’s Curse ability improves. If the target fails his saving throw, he suffers a penalty of -4 on all attack rolls, damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, ability checks, CMB, CMD, and armor class for the next hour. A successful save reduces the effect by half and cuts the duration to just 1 round.</p>
<p><b>Mass Curse (Su):</b> At 11th level, the hexblade can choose to affect all targets in a 20-foot radius burst with his hexblade's curse ability (but not his greater curse ability). At 19th level, the hexblade can choose to affect all targets in a 20-foot radius burst with his greater curse ability (but not his dire curse ability).</p>
<p><b>Greater Aura of Unluck (Su):</b> At 14th level, when activating his aura of unluck, the miss chance increases to 50% instead of 20%.</p>
<p><b>Dire Curse (Su):</b> At 17th level, the hexblade’s curse ability once again grows more potent. If the target fails his saving throw, he suffers a penalty of -6 on all attack rolls, damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, ability checks, CMB, CMD, and armor class for the next hour. A successful save reduces the effect by half and cuts the duration to just 1 round.</p>
<p><b>Death Sentence (Su):</b> At 20th level, the hexblade becomes the true curse master. He can alter his hexblade’s curse to a more deadly variation. By spending a daily use of his curse ability, he can put a death sentence on an opponent. The target of a death sentence automatically suffers the effect of the hexblade's curse, no save allowed. At the 2nd round, the affliction improves to greater curse. At the 3rd round, it improves to dire curse. Finally, at the beginning of the 4th round, the target makes a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 hexblade's class level + Charisma modifier) or die. Once a creature has been targeted by a death sentence and passes the save, that creature is immune to the hexblade's death sentence for 24 hours.</p>
<p><b>HEXBLADE SPELLS</b>

<p><b>Tinker (Rogue)</b></p>
<p><b>Weapon and Armor Proficiency:</b> Tinkers are proficient with all simple weapons plus the hand crossbow, light hammer, repeating crossbow, sap, short sword, and warhammer. They are proficient with light armor, but not with shields. </p>
<p><b>Skills:</b> Fly, knowledge (engineering), and use technologic device are class skills for the tinker. </p>
<p><b>Bonus Feat:</b> At 1st level and every 4 levels thereafter, the tinker gains a bonus feat. This feat must be a technology feat or the following: Cooperative Crafting, Craftsman, Gunsmithing, Expert Driver, Improved Iron Will, Iron Will, Master Craftsman, Packrat, Rapid Reload, Siege Commander, Siege Engineer, Siege Gunner, and Skilled Driver. A tinker must meet all prerequisites for her bonus feats. This ability replaces sneak attack gained at 1st, 5th, 9th, 13th, and 17th levels.</p>
<p><b>Rogue Talents:</b> A tinker adds the following to her rogue talents list:</p>
<p>Bomb Bouncing (Ex): A tinker learns an esoteric technique developed by mad goblin tinkers and passed along to their brethren — the art of bomb throwing. When throwing a grenade-like weapon, a tinker with the bomb bouncing ability imparts a spin to the object that doubles the thrown object’s range increment.</p>
<p>Scavenge (Ex): A tinker can put together devices out of random piles of spare parts or whatever wires and gears she happens to be carrying in her pockets at the time. A tinker who succeeds at a Perception check with a DC 15 + the craft DC can gather random materials sufficient to substitute for raw materials equal to half the tinker’s level x 50 gp.</p>
<p><b>Coolness under Fire (Ex):</b> At 3rd level, a tinker has employed her skills in dangerous situations often enough that she learns how to remain calm in combat even when operating complex controls or working to repair delicate machinery. Once per day, the tinker can take 10 on any roll that involves the operation of technological devices, vehicles, siege engine, and any craft checks, even when circumstances would otherwise prevent it. This ability cannot be used for attack rolls when operating a weapon such a firearms or siege weapons. At 6th level, and at every three levels thereafter, the tinker may use coolness under fire one additional time per day, to a maximum of six times per day at 18th level. This ability replaces trap sense.</p>
<p><b>Cobble (Ex):</b> Tinkers prefer to spend days, weeks or even months constructing the devices they design. When adventuring, though, tinkers are often forced to throw together a device more quickly. A tinker of 3rd level or higher can make Craft (technological device) checks for progress on a device’s construction once per hour, rather than the normal once per week. However, after the device is complete, the device’s Malfunction Rating is increased by +5. Further, it will continue to increase by +1 each time the device is operated, and no repair or upgrade can decrease it. At 3rd level, the tinker may use the cobble ability once per week. The tinker may use this ability an additional time at 5th level and every four levels thereafter, to a maximum of five times at 19th level. This ability replaces sneak attack gained at 3rd, 7th, 11th, 15th, and 19th levels. </p>
<p><b>Energy Resistance (Ex):</b> Tinkers are exposed to raw and powerful energies in the course of their work, and often develop a degree of resistance to one kind or another. Upon reaching 4th level, a tinker may select a single type of energy — acid, cold, electricity, fire or sonic — and gain 5 points of resistance to that type of energy. At 8th level, and at every four levels thereafter, the tinker gains an additional 5 points of energy resistance. This resistance may be of the same type, or spread across multiple energy types. As it is not a supernatural or spell-like ability, a tinker’s energy resistance stacks with resistance gained from spells such as protection from energy and resist energy. This ability replaces uncanny dodge. </p>
<p><b>Improved Evasion (Ex):</b> At 8th level, a tinker gains improved evasion. This works like evasion, except that while the tinker still takes no damage on a successful Reflex saving throw against attacks, she henceforth takes only half damage on a failed save. A helpless tinker does not gain the benefit of improved evasion. This ability replaces improved uncanny dodge.</p>
<p><b>Master Tinker (Ex):</b> At 20th level, a tinker becomes a real master on her art.
<br />
She can use Coolness under fire at will. Also, once per day, a tinker may take 20 on any roll that involves the operation of technological devices, vehicles, siege engine, and any craft checks, even when circumstances would otherwise prevent it.
<br />
Finally, while using cobble, the malfunction rating is increased by +2 instead of +5.
<br />
This ability replaces master strike.</p>Did some changes based on the original class.

<p><b>Tinker</b> </p>
<p>Tinkers are among the smartest of the adventurers setting out to explore and conquer the world. The creators of incredible inventions from steam saws to siege engines, their devices allow them to overcome nearly any situation – and if they don’t have the device they need, they just might be able to design and create a new one on the spot. </p>
<p><b>Weapon and Armor Proficiency:</b> Tinkers are proficient with all simple weapons plus the hand crossbow, light hammer, repeating crossbow, sap, and short sword. They are proficient with light armor, but not with shields. </p>
<p><b>Skills:</b> A tinker adds knowledge (engineering) to her class skills.</p>
<p><b>Bonus Feat:</b> At 1st level and every 4 levels thereafter, the tinker gains a bonus feat. This feat must be from the following list: Cooperative Crafting, Craftsman, Gunsmithing, Exotic Weapon (Firearms), Expert Driver, Iron Will, Master Craftsman, Rapid Reload, Siege Commander, Siege Engineer, Siege Gunner, and Skilled Driver. A tinker must meet all prerequisites for her bonus feats. This ability replaces sneak attack gained at 1st, 5th, 9th, 13th, and 17th levels.</p>
<p><b>Rogue Talents:</b> A tinker adds the following to her rogue talents list:</p>
<p><b>Packrat (Ex):</b> Tinkers tend to carry about packs and pouches full of heavy tools, spare parts and inventions both finished and incomplete. In doing so, they quickly develop the ability to shoulder casually otherwise crushing burdens. A tinker calculates her carrying capacity as if she possessed 5 bonus points of Strength.</p>
<p><b>Scavenge (Ex):</b> A tinker can put together devices out of random piles of spare parts or whatever wires and gears she happens to be carrying in her pockets at the time. A tinker who succeeds at a Perception check with a DC 15 + the craft DC can gather random materials sufficient to substitute for raw materials equal to half the tinker’s level x 50 gp.</p>
<p><b>Scavenge Materials (Ex):</b> You are adept at making do with whatever materials come to hand. You may build an item using raw materials equivalent to only 1/10 the item’s market value. The Craft check DC needed to build the item increases by +10. A tinker must have the scavenge talent before selecting this talent.</p>
<p><b>Coolness under Fire (Ex):</b> At 3rd level, a tinker has employed her skills in dangerous situations often enough that she learns how to remain calm in combat even when operating complex controls or working to repair delicate machinery. Once per day, the tinker can take 10 on any roll that involves the operation of technological devices, vehicles, siege engine, and any craft checks, even when circumstances would otherwise prevent it. This ability cannot be used for attack rolls when operating a weapon such a firearms or siege weapons. At 6th level, and at every three levels thereafter, the tinker may use coolness under fire one additional time per day, to a maximum of six times per day at 18th level. This ability replaces trap sense.</p>
<p><b>Sneak Attack:</b> At 3rd level, a tinker gains sneak attack. The tinker's attack deals extra damage anytime her target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not), or when the tinker flanks her target. This extra damage is 1d6 at 3rd level, and increases by 1d6 every four rogue levels thereafter, to a maximum of 5d6 at 19th level.</p>
<p><b>Energy Resistance (Ex):</b> Tinkers are exposed to raw and powerful energies in the course of their work, and often develop a degree of resistance to one kind or another. Upon reaching 4th level, a tinker may select a single type of energy — acid, cold, electricity, fire or sonic — and gain 5 points of resistance to that type of energy. At 8th level, and at every four levels thereafter, the tinker gains an additional 5 points of energy resistance. This resistance may be of the same type, or spread across multiple energy types. As it is not a supernatural or spell-like ability, a tinker’s energy resistance stacks with resistance gained from spells such as protection from energy and resist energy. This ability replaces uncanny dodge. </p>
<p><b>Improved Evasion (Ex):</b> At 8th level, a tinker gains improved evasion. This works like evasion, except that while the tinker still takes no damage on a successful Reflex saving throw against attacks, she henceforth takes only half damage on a failed save. A helpless tinker does not gain the benefit of improved evasion. This ability replaces improved uncanny dodge.</p>
<p><b>Advanced Rogue Talents:</b> A tinker adds the following to her rogue talents list:</p>
<p><b>Golem Breaker (Ex):</b> Tinkers knows how to find the frailest parts of a construction to make them collapse, but some of them can apply that knowledge against constructs. A tinker with this talent can make sneak attacks against constructs.</p>
<p><b>Master Tinker (Ex):</b> At 20th level, a tinker becomes a real master on her art. She can use Coolness under fire at will. Also, once per day, a tinker may take 20 on any roll that involves the operation of technological devices, vehicles, siege engine, and any craft checks, even when circumstances would otherwise prevent it.

I'd really like your opinion about that. </p>
<p><b>Necromancer</b></p>
<p>A specialist wizard who calls himself a necromancer or a cleric with the death domain has significant power over undead and the forces of negative energy, but a necromancer is their true master. A practitioner of vile and forbidden arts, the necromancer roots about in graveyards, searching out moldering components for his obscene spells. He calls upon restless, tormented spirits of the dead, seeking their arcane secrets. He might be a consummate villain, or perhaps a tortured hero whose obsession with death leads him along questionable moral path.
<br />
<b>Role:</b> A necromancer is similar to other arcane spellcasters such as wizards, sorcerer, or witches. He does not learn spells as quickly as wizards do, nor have access to such a great variety of spells, but he excels at her primary repertoire- necromantic, evil, and fear-related spells. He is a combat caster, with more resilience than a wizard or sorcerer and a definite emphasis on combat-oriented necromantic spells.
<br />
<b>Alignment:</b> Any non-good.
<br />
<b>Hit Die:</b> d6.
<br />
<b>Base Attack Bonus:</b> Poor.
<br />
<b>Good Save:</b> Will. </p>
<p><b>Class Skills</b>
<br />
The necromancer’s class skills are Appraise (Int), Bluff (Cha), Craft (Int), Disguise (Cha), Fly (Dex), Heal (Wis), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge (arcana) (Int), Knowledge (history) (Int), Knowledge (planes) (Int), Knowledge (religion) (Int), Linguistics (Int), Perception (Wis), Profession (Wis), Sense Motive (Cha), Spellcraft (Int), Stealth (Dex), and Use Magic Device (Cha).

<p><b>Class Features</b>
<br />
The following are class features of the necromancer. </p>
<p><b>Weapon and Armor Proficiency:</b> Necromancers are proficient with all simple weapons and with one martial weapon of his choice. His choice of martial weapon is made when the character takes his first level of necromancer and cannot be changed. Necromancers are also proficient with light armor, but not with shields. The somatic components required for a necromancer spells are simple, so members of this class can cast necromancer spells while wearing light armor without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance. He still incurs the normal arcane spell failure chance for arcane spells derived from other classes. In addition, if a necromancer wears medium armor or heavy armor, or uses a shield, he incurs the same chance of arcane spell failure as any other arcane caster if the spell in question has somatic component.</p>
<p><b>Spells:</b> A necromancer casts arcane spells drawn from the necromancer spell list. He can cast any spell he knows without preparing it ahead of time. To learn or cast a spell, a necromancer must have a Charisma score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a necromancer's spell is 10 + the spell level + the necromancer's Charisma modifier.</p>
<p>Like other spellcasters, a necromancer can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. His base daily spell allotment is given on Table: Sorcerer. In addition, he receives bonus spells per day if he has a high Charisma score.</p>
<p>A necromancer begins play knowing four 0-level spells and two 1st-level spells of his choice. When a necromancer gains access to a new level of spells, he automatically knows all the spells for that level given on the necromancer's spell list. Necromancers also have the option of adding to their existing spell list through their advanced learning ability as they increase in level. (Unlike spells per day, the number of spells a necromancer knows is not affected by his Charisma score; the numbers on Table: Sorcerer Spells Known are fixed.) These new spells can be common spells chosen from the necromancer spell list, or they can be unusual spells that the necromancer has gained some understanding of through study.</p>
<p>Unlike a wizard or a cleric a necromancer 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 spells per day for that spell level. </p>
<p><b>Cantrips:</b> Necromancers learn a number of cantrips, or 0-level spells, as noted on Table: Sorcerer Spells Known under “Spells Known.” These spells are cast like any other spell, but they do not consume any slots and may be used again. </p>
<p><b>Charnel Touch (Su):</b> Negative energy flows through a necromancer’s body. As a standard action, you can make a melee touch attack against a living foe that deals 1d6 points of damage of negative energy +1 for every two necromancer levels. This touch heals undead creature, restoring 1 hit point +1 for every two necromancer levels. A necromancer can use the spectral hand spell to deliver this attack from a distance. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier. </p>
<p><b>Power over Undead (Su):</b> A necromancer receives Command Undead as a bonus feat. He can channel energy a number of times per day equal to 3 + his Charisma modifier, but only to use the selected feat. He can take other feats to add to this ability, such as Extra Channel and Improved Channel, but not feats that alter this ability, such as Elemental Channel and Alignment Channel. The DC to save against these feats is equal to 10 + 1/2 his necromancer level + his Charisma modifier. At 20th level, undead cannot add their channel resistance to the save against this ability.</p>
<p><b>Lich Body:</b> Starting at 2nd level, a necromancer begins his journey into undeath. The first symptom is his body's increased resilience to physical harm. He gains DR 2/bludgeoning and magic. As the necromancer increases in level, this DR increases in effectiveness, to DR 4 at 6th level, DR 6 at 10th level, DR 8 at 14th level, and DR 10 at 18th level.</p>
<p><b>Channel Negative Energy (Su):</b> When a necromancer reaches 3rd level, he gains the supernatural ability to channel negative energy like a cleric. Using this ability consumes his power over undead ability. A necromancer uses his level as his effective cleric level when channeling negative energy. </p>
<p><b>Advanced Learning (Ex):</b> At 4th level, a necromancer can add a new spell to his list, representing the result of personal study and experimentation. The spell must be a wizard spell of a level no higher than that of the highest-level spell the necromancer already knows. Once a new spell is selected, it is added to that dread necromancer's spell list and can be cast just like any other spell he knows. These spells are in addition to the number of spells given on Table: Sorcerer Spells Known. These spells cannot be exchanged for different spells at higher levels. A necromancer gains an additional new spell at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 20th level.</p>
<p><b>Mental Bastion:</b> Starting at 4th level, a necromancer gains a +2 bonus on saving throws made to resist sleep, stunning, paralysis, poison, or disease. This bonus increases to +4 at 14th level.</p>
<p><b>Fear Aura (Su):</b> Beginning at 5th level, a necromancer radiates a 5-foot-radius fear aura as a free action. Creatures in the area must succeed on a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 his class level + his Charisma modifier) or become shaken for a number of rounds equal to 1/2 the necromancer's level. At 15th level, the fear aura’s radius increases to 20 feet and persists for a number of rounds equal to his necromancer level. A creature that successfully saves cannot be affected by the same necromancer’s fear aura for 24 hours. This is a mind-affecting fear effect.</p>
<p><b>Scabrous Touch (Su):</b> Starting at 6th level, once per day a dread necromancer can use his charnel touch to inflict disease on a creature he touches. This ability works like the contagion spell, inflicting the disease of his choice immediately, with no incubation period, unless the target makes a successful Fortitude save (DC10 + 1/2 his class level + his Charisma modifier). The DC for subsequent saving throws to resist the effects of the disease depends on the disease inflicted.</p>
<p>Activating this class feature is a swift action. The effect lasts until the necromancer makes a successful charnel touch attack. The spectral hand spell enables a necromancer to deliver a scabrous touch attack from a distance.</p>
<p>A necromancer can use this ability once per day at 6th level, twice per day at 11th level, and three times per day at 16th level.</p>
<p><b>Arcane Bond (Ex or Sp):</b> At 7th level, a necromancer gains an arcane bond, as a wizard equal to the necromancer level. The necromancer levels stack with any wizard levels he possesses when determining the powers of his familiar or bonded object. Once per day, his bonded item allows him to cast any one of his spells known (unlike a wizard’s bonded item, which allows him to cast any one spell in his spellbook). This ability does not allow you to have both a familiar and a bonded item.</p>
<p>If a necromancer chooses a familiar, he receives additional options besides the standard familiar list. The necromancer may choose one of the following creatures: imp (devil), quasit (demon), vargouille, or ghostly visage. All these creatures are described in the Bestiary except for the ghostly visage, an undead symbiont described on the Fiend Folio.</p>
<p>A necromancer's familiar gains the usual familiar benefits, with two exceptions. Its type does not change, and it does not gain the exceptional ability to speak with other creatures of its kind. A necromancer's familiar can use its ability to deliver touch spells such as its master's charnel touch, scabrous touch, or enervating touch attack. The master must use a standard action to imbue the touch attack into his familiar.</p>
<p><b>Undead Mastery:</b> A necromancer gains Undead Master as a bonus feat, even if he would not normally qualify for this feat. Besides its normal benefit, when a necromancer casts the control undead spell, the spell targets up to (2 + his Charisma bonus) HD/level of undead creatures, rather than the 2 HD/level normally granted by the spell.</p>
<p>In addition, all undead creatures created by a necromancer gain a +4 enhancement bonus to Strength and Dexterity and 2 additional hit points per Hit Die.</p>
<p>If he already has this feat, he can choose any item creation feat or metamagic feat he qualifies for in its place.</p>
<p><b>Negative Energy Resistance:</b> Beginning at 9th level, a necromancer gains a +4 bonus on saving throws made to resist negative energy effects, including energy drain, some ability drain, and inflict spells.</p>
<p><b>Light Fortification:</b> Starting at 10th level, a necromancer gains 25% resistance to critical hits; this is the equivalent of the light fortification armor special ability. At 17th level, this fortification increases to 50%.</p>
<p><b>Enervating Touch (Su):</b> When a necromancer reaches 12th level, he gains the ability to bestow negative levels when he uses his charnel touch attack. Each day, he can bestow a total number of negative levels equal to 1/2 his class level, but no more than two negative levels with a single touch. The saving throw to remove the negative levels has a DC of 10 + 1/2 his class level + his Charisma modifier.</p>
<p>Activating this class feature is a swift action. The effect lasts until he makes a successful charnel touch attack.</p>
<p>A necromancer can use the spectral hand spell to deliver this attack from a distance.</p>
<p>Beginning at 17th level, the number of negative levels a necromancer can bestow per day increases to equal his class level.</p>
<p><b>Craft Wondrous Item:</b> At 19th level, the necromancer gains Craft Wondrous Item as a bonus feat. This helps him prepare the phylactery required to become a lich. If he already has this feat, he can choose any item creation feat or metamagic feat he qualifies for in its place.</p>
<p><b>Lich Transformation:</b> When a necromancer attains 20th level, he undergoes a hideous transformation and becomes a lich. His type changes to undead, and he gains all the traits of the undead. A necromancer need not pay gold to create his phylactery.</p>
<p><b>Necromancer Spells</b>

Hope you like it.</p>
<p><b>Sacred First (Cleric Archetype)</b>
<br />
Sacred fists are clerics who are also martial artists, found within many temples. Their ascetic members have turned their divine magic inward, bringing their bodies and wills into harmony. Sacred fists have forsworn the use of weapons and armor. They consider their bodies and minds gifts from their deity, and they believe that not developing those gifts to their fullest potential is a sin. They are strong in faith, will and body.</p>
<p><b>Alignment:</b> Lawful good or lawful neutral.</p>
<p><b>Weapon and Armor Proficiency:</b> Sacred fists are proficient with all simple weapons, plus the brass knuckles, cestus and the favored weapon of their deities. They are proficient with light armor, but not with shields.</p>
<p><b>Skills:</b> The Sacred fist’s class skills are Acrobatics (Dex), Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Heal (Wis), Knowledge (history) (Int), Knowledge (planes) (Int), Knowledge (religion) (Int), Linguistics (Int), Perception (Wis), Profession (Wis), Sense Motive (Wis), Spellcraft (Int), and Swim (Str). </p>
<p><b>Diminished Spellcaster:</b> A sacred fists chooses only one domain from her deity’s list of domains, and her number of non-domain spells per day for each spell level is one less than normal (for example, a 4th level sacred fist has three orisons, two 1st level spells, one 1st level domain spell, one 2nd level spell, and one 2nd level domain spell). If this reduces the number of spells per day for that level to 0, she gains only the bonus spells she would be entitled to, based on her wisdom score for that level, plus his domain spell for that level. </p>
<p><b>Channel Energy (Su):</b> A sacred fist must channel positive energy.</p>
<p><b>Unarmed Strike:</b> At 1st level, a sacred fist gains Improved Unarmed Strike as a bonus feat. This ability follows the rules presented in the monk’s class features. A sacred fist deals more damage with her unarmed strikes than a normal person would. She deals damage with her unarmed strike as if she were a monk of her cleric level -3. However, at the 1st level, she deals damage as a 1st level monk of her size. If the sacred fist has levels in monk, this ability stacks with levels to determine how much damage she can do with her unarmed strikes. A sacred fist who selects the Two-Weapon Fighting feat gain additional benefits. She applies her full Strength bonus to her damage rolls for all successful attacks made with Two-Weapon Fighting while fighting unarmed. She uses her normal base attack bonus while using this feat.</p>
<p><b>Martial Talent:</b> Throughout her extensive training in martial arts a sacred fist improves her mind, body and spirit. She develops techniques that allow her to learn special abilities. Most of those are normal feats, but some of them are monk abilities that only a sacred fist can learn. A sacred fist gains a martial talent at 1st level, then again at 5th level and every five levels thereafter (to a maximum of five at 20th level). These must be chosen from the following list: Blind-Fight, Combat Casting, Combat Reflexes, Dodge, and Lightning Reflexes. At 5th level, a sacred fist may also choose from the following: Maneuver Training•, Still Mind•, and Two-Weapon Fighting. At 10th level, a sacred fist may also choose from the following: High Jump•, Mobility, and Purity of Body•. At 15th level, a sacred fist may also choose from the following: Diamond Body•, Improved Critical, and Spring Attack. At 20th level, a sacred fist may also choose from the following: Timeless Body•, and Tongue of the sun and moon•. Martial talents marked with an asterisk (•) are monk abilities. A sacred fist need not have any of the prerequisites normally required for these feats to select them. </p>
<p><b>Ki Pool (Su):</b> At 6th level, a sacred fist gains a pool of ki points, supernatural energy she can use to accomplish amazing feats. The number of points in the sacred fist’s ki pool is equal to 1 / 3 her cleric level + her wisdom modifier. The ki pool is replenished each morning after 8 hours of rest or meditation; these hours do not need to be consecutive. If the sacred fist possesses levels in another class that grants points to a ki pool, ki points gained from the sacred fist class stack with those gained from the other class to determine the total number of ki points in the combined pool, but only one ability score modifier is added to the total. The choice of which score to use is made when the second class ability is gained, and once made, the choice is permanent. The sacred fist can use ki points from this pool to power the abilities of every class he possesses that grants a ki pool. As long as she has at least 1 point in her ki pool, a sacred fist can make a ki strike. At 6th level, ki strike allows her unarmed attacks to be treated as magic weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. At 8th level, her unarmed attacks are also treated as cold iron and silver for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. At 10th level, her unarmed attacks are also treated as lawful weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. At 16th level, her unarmed attacks are treated as adamantine weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction and bypass hardness. By spending 1 point from his ki pool, a sacred fist can do one of the following:</p>
<p>Increase his speed by 20 feet for 1 round, </p>
<p>Give himself a +4 dodge bonus to AC for 1 round,</p>
<p>Deal an extra 2d6 points of damage against evil opponents for 1 round.</p>
<p>Each of these powers is activated as a swift action.</p>Another version of the archetype, based on the crusader archetype. Hope you like it.
Sacred First (Cleric Archetype)
Sacred fists are clerics who are also martial artists, found within many temples. Their ascetic members have turned their divine magic inward, bringing their bodies and wills into harmony. Sacred fists have forsworn the use of weapons and armor. They consider their bodies and minds gifts from their deity, and they believe that not developing those gifts to their fullest...darthmaru2014-03-18T20:40:27ZRe: Forums: Conversions: Red Mage - From Final Fantasy (Magus Archetype)darthmaruhttps://paizo.com/threads/rzs2pfdw?Red-Mage-From-Final-Fantasy#222014-03-18T20:32:37Z2014-03-18T20:32:37Z<p><b>Red Magic Upgrade:</b></p>

<p><b>Red Mage (Magus Archetype)</b>
<br />
Some people want to learn divine magic to support and heal those in need. Some want to learn arcane magic to control and destroy the enemies from afar. Some wish to become great warriors, forging their names in the battle field. But there are some who wish to do everything at once. These skilled individuals are known as Red Mages. </p>
<p><b>Red Magic:</b> The red mage learns arcane magic the same way a wizard does, through academic studies, research and seeking forgotten lore. However, they also understand the science of faith and secrets of the divine magic. Through that understanding, the red mage becomes capable of manipulating a limited portion of divine magic purely by science, and not through a deity. This fusion is called red magic.
<br />
Starting at the 2nd level, a red mage become capable of casting a limited number of divine spells, he automatically add those to his spellbook. He can cast those spells as magus spells and treat those as arcane spells. </p>
<p>Add the following spells to the red mage's spell list: </p>
<p>0-Detect Poison, Guidance, Stabilize.</p>
<p>1st-Cure Light Wounds, Remove Fear, Remove Sickness.</p>
<p>2nd-Cure Moderate Wounds, Delay Poison, Lesser Restoration, Remove Paralysis.</p>

<p><b>Divine Blending (Ex):</b> When a red mage selects this arcana, he must select one spell from the cleric spell list that is at least one level lower than the highest magus spell level he can cast. He adds this spell to his spellbook and list of magus spells known as a magus spell one level higher than its cleric spell level. He can instead select two spells to add in this way, but both must be at least two levels lower than the highest-level magus spell he can cast. A magus can select this magus arcana more than once.</p>Another version. Hope you like it.

<p>Stunning Snap (Combat)
<br />
You may stun opponents with a deft crack of your whip.
<br />
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Exotic Weapon (Whip), Whip Mastery, base attack bonus +8.
<br />
Benefit: You must declare that you are using this feat before you make your attack roll (thus, a failed attack roll ruins the attempt). Stunning Snap forces a foe damaged by your whip to make a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 your character level + your Dex modifier), in addition to dealing damage normally. A defender who fails this saving throw is stunned for 1 round (until just before your next turn). A stunned character drops everything held, can’t take actions, loses any Dexterity bonus to AC, and takes a –2 penalty to AC. You may attempt a stunning attack once per day for every four levels you have attained, and no more than once per round. Constructs, oozes, plants, undead, incorporeal creatures, and creatures immune to critical hits cannot be stunned.</p>New feat based on Stunning fist and one of Lasher's prestige class ability.

This is something like a beta version and I would appreciate some opinions. Here we go: </p>
<p><b>LASHER (Fighter Archetype)</b> </p>
<p>Lashers use the whip as an extension of themselves. A whip in the hands of a lasher is like onto a living thing, obeying theirs every command. Their ability with the whip makes them deadly warriors to be reckoned with.</p>
<p><b>Weapon and Armor Proficiency:</b> A lasher is not proficient with heavy armor, or tower shield. Instead she gains Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Whip) feat. </p>
<p><b>Skills:</b> Acrobatics (Dex), Bluff (Cha), Escape Artist (Dex), and Sleight of Hands (Dex) are class skills for a lasher.</p>
<p><b>Whip Mastery:</b> At 1st level, a lasher gains the Whip Mastery feat as bonus feat. This ability replaces the 1st-level fighter bonus combat feat.</p>
<p><b>Third Hand (Ex):</b> At 2nd level, a lasher gains a +1 bonus to CMB on disarm and trip checks with any kind of whip. This bonus increases by +1 for every four levels after 2nd. This ability replaces Bravery.</p>
<p><b>Whip Training (Ex):</b> At 5th level, a lasher gains a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls with whips of any kind. This bonus increases by +1 for every four levels beyond 5th. This ability replaces Weapon Training 1.</p>
<p><b>Whip Lash (Ex):</b> At 9th level, a lasher gains the sneak attack ability, but the extra damage applies only to attacks made with a whip. She deals an extra 1d6 points of damage at 9th level, and this damage increases to 2d6 at 13th level, and to 3d6 at 17th level. If she already has the sneak attack ability from another class the bonuses stack. This ability replaces weapon training 2, 3, and 4.</p>

<p><b>Red Mage (Magus Archetype)</b></p>
<p>Some people want to learn divine magic to support and heal those in need. Some want to learn arcane magic to control and destroy the enemies from afar. Some wish to become great warriors, forging their names in the battle field. But there are some who wish to do everything at once. These skilled individuals are known as Red Mages. </p>
<p><b>Skills:</b> Diplomacy (Cha), Heal (Wis), Knowledge (Religion) (Int) and Linguistics (Int) are class skills for a red mage.</p>
<p><b>Weapon and Armor Proficiency:</b> A red mage is proficient with all simple weapons, plus the longsword, rapier, and shortsword. A red mage is also proficient with light armor and the buckler. He can cast magus spells while wearing light armor and using a buckler without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance. Like any other arcane spellcaster, a magus wearing medium armor, heavy armor, or another type of shield incurs a chance of arcane spell failure if the spell in question has a somatic component. A multiclass magus still incurs the normal arcane spell failure chance for arcane spells received from other classes.</p>
<p><b>Red Magic:</b> The red mage learns arcane magic the same way a wizard does, through academic studies, research and seeking forgotten lore. However, they also understand the science of faith and secrets of the divine magic. Through that understanding, the red mage becomes capable of manipulating a limited portion of divine magic purely by science, and not through a deity. This fusion is called red magic. </p>
<p>Starting at the 2nd level, a red mage chooses a number of orisons and 1st level spell from the cleric spell list equal to half his intelligence modifier (minimum 1) and add those to his spellbook. Each time he gains access to a new spell level, he adds the same amount of cleric spell of that level to his spellbook. Divine spells casted by the red mage are treated as arcane spells. This ability replaces spellstrike. </p>
<p><b>Magus Arcana (Su):</b> A red mage gains access to the following magus arcana.</p>
<p>Divine Blending (Ex): When a red mage selects this arcana, he must select one spell from the cleric spell list that is of a red mage spell level he can cast. He adds this spell to his spellbook and list of red mage spells known as a red mage spell of its cleric spell level. He can instead select two spells to add in this way, but both must be at least one level lower than the highest-level red mage spell he can cast. While casting those spells, a red mage treats them as arcane spells. A red mage can select this magus arcana more than once. </p>
<p><b>Bonus Feat:</b> A red mage adds lightning reflexes and improved lightning reflexes to his list of bonus feats. </p>
<p><b>Uncanny Dodge (Ex):</b> At 7th level, a red mage gains uncanny dodge, as the rogue class feature of the same name. This ability replaces medium armor proficiency. </p>
<p><b>Canny Defense (Ex):</b> At 13th level, when a red mage is wielding a one handed melee weapon, he gains the canny defense ability. This is identical to the duelist prestige class ability of the same name, save that his magus level (rather than his duelist level) affects his Armor Class. This ability replaces heavy armor proficiency.</p>Did some new changes in the archetype.
