This has really gone over like gangbusters and I wanted to share it with you guys.
Arcane Emanation (Su):
The wizard chooses one of four energy attacks: Acid, Cold, Electricity and Fire. Once this choice is made it can not be changed. As a standard action, the wizard may project a ray of arcane energy in the form chosen. The range of this ray is 30' and deals an amount of damage equal to 1d6/level of the highest level spell the Wizard has remaining (the highest level spell the wizard has prepared but has not yet cast).
This ability gives the wizard something useful and effective to do every round of combat without wasting spells but also without being overpowered in any way. A whole host of feats were inspired by this class feature for characters whom would like to augment the ability or even base their entire character concept around it. These feats can be chosen at any time the Wizard would normally get to choose a metamagic or item creation feat. Some of these feats include:
* Adding an additional energy type to choose from when using the ability.
* Extending the range of the ability.
* Altering the emanation from a ray to a line, cone or even a ranged burst.
* Adding a secondary effect (target must save or catch fire, save or become entangled, etc.).
* Increasing the damage of the ability by +1d6 or +1/die.
* Expend a prepared spell of the highest level available to maximize the damage from the ability.
Not everyone wants a familiar or wants to risk losing their Bonded Item and this has proved a popular alternative, so I figured I'd share.
This forum is for the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game rather than the RPG. I flagged it to move. Just thought you should know.
Thanks - definitely a mistake on my part.
