Cleric (Ecclesitheurge)
Aura (Ex): A cleric of a chaotic, evil, good, or lawful deity has a particularly powerful aura corresponding to the deity's alignment (see the detect evil spell for details).

Blessing of the Faithful (Su): As a standard action, the ecclesitheurge can bless one ally within close range (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels). A blessed ally gains a +2 sacred or profane bonus (depending on whether the ecclesitheurge channels positive or negative energy) on attack rolls, skill checks, ability checks, or saving throws or to AC until the ecclesitheurge’s next turn. The ecclesitheurge can expend 1 use of channel energy when activating this ability to increase the duration to a number of rounds equal to the number of dice of his channel energy.

Bonded Holy Symbol (Su): At 3rd level, an ecclesitheurge forms a powerful bond with a holy symbol of his deity, which functions identically to a wizard’s bonded object except it can be used to cast cleric and domain spells (instead of wizard spells) and the ecclesitheurge can grant his bonded holy symbol only magic abilities appropriate for a holy symbol or a neck slot item.
As with a wizard’s bonded item, an ecclesitheurge can add additional magic abilities to his bonded holy symbol as if he had the required item creation feat (typically Craft Wondrous Item), provided he meets the feat’s level prerequisites. For example, an ecclesitheurge with a bonded holy symbol who wants to add a wondrous amulet ability, like amulet of natural armor, to his bonded holy symbol must be at least 3rd level to do so. The magic properties of a bonded holy symbol, including any magic abilities the ecclesitheurge added to the object, function for only the ecclesitheurge. If a bonded holy symbol’s owner dies or the item is replaced, the object loses all enhancements the ecclesitheurge added using this ability.
This ability replaces the increase to channel energy gained at 3rd level.

Channel Energy (Su): Regardless of alignment, any cleric can release a wave of energy by channeling the power of her faith through her holy (or unholy) symbol. This energy can be used to cause or heal damage, depending on the type of energy channeled and the creatures targeted.
A good cleric (or one who worships a good deity) channels positive energy and can choose to deal damage to undead creatures or to heal living creatures. An evil cleric (or one who worships an evil deity) channels negative energy and can choose to deal damage to living creatures or to heal undead creatures. A neutral cleric who worships a neutral deity (or one who is not devoted to a particular deity) must choose whether she channels positive or negative energy. Once this choice is made, it cannot be reversed. This decision also determines whether the cleric casts spontaneous cure or inflict spells (see spontaneous casting).
Channeling energy causes a burst that affects all creatures of one type (either undead or living) in a 30-foot radius centered on the cleric. The amount of damage dealt or healed is equal to 1d6 points of damage plus 1d6 points of damage for every two cleric levels beyond 1st (2d6 at 3rd, 3d6 at 5th, and so on). Creatures that take damage from channeled energy receive a Will save to halve the damage. The DC of this save is equal to 10 + 1/2 the cleric's level + the cleric's Charisma modifier. Creatures healed by channeled energy cannot exceed their maximum hit point total—all excess healing is lost. A cleric may channel energy a number of times per day equal to 3 + her Charisma modifier. This is a standard action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity. A cleric can choose whether or not to include herself in this effect. A cleric must be able to present her holy symbol to use this ability.

Domain Mastery: At 1st level, when an ecclesitheurge chooses his cleric domains, he designates one as his primary domain and the other as his secondary domain. An ecclesitheurge can use his non-domain spell slots to prepare spells from his primary domain’s spell list.
Each day when he prepares spells, an ecclesitheurge can select a different domain granted by his deity to gain access to that domain’s spell list instead of his secondary domain spell list. He does not lose access to his actual secondary domain’s granted powers or gain access to the other domain’s granted powers. For example, an ecclesitheurge of Sarenrae with Glory and his primary domain and Good as his secondary domain can choose to gain access to the Healing domain; until the next time he prepares spells, he uses the Healing domain spell list as his secondary domain spell list instead of the Good domain spell list, but still keeps the granted powers of the Good domain and does not gain the granted powers of the Healing domain.
This ability alters the normal domain ability.

Ecclesitheurge’s Vow: At 1st level, an ecclesitheurge makes a vow to his deity to be protected solely by his faith, not by armor or shields. An ecclesitheurge who wears armor or uses a shield is unable to use his blessing of the faithful ability, use cleric domain powers, or cast cleric spells.

Orisons: Clerics can prepare a number of orisons, or 0-level spells, each day, as noted on Table: Cleric under “Spells per Day.” These spells are cast like any other spell, but they are not expended when cast and may be used again.

Spontaneous Casting: A good cleric (or a neutral cleric of a good deity) can channel stored spell energy into healing spells that she did not prepare ahead of time. The cleric can “lose” any prepared spell that is not an orison or domain spell in order to cast any cure spell of the same spell level or lower (a cure spell is any spell with “cure” in its name).
An evil cleric (or a neutral cleric who worships an evil deity) can't convert prepared spells to cure spells but can convert them to inflict spells (an inflict spell is one with “inflict” in its name).
A cleric who is neither good nor evil and whose deity is neither good nor evil can convert spells to either cure spells or inflict spells (player's choice). Once the player makes this choice, it cannot be reversed. This choice also determines whether the cleric channels positive or negative energy (see Channel Energy).

Chaotic, Evil, Good, and Lawful Spells: A cleric can't cast spells of an alignment opposed to her own or her deity's (if she has one).

Bonus Languages: A cleric's bonus language options include Celestial, Abyssal, and Infernal (the languages of good, chaotic evil, and lawful evil outsiders, respectively). These choices are in addition to the bonus languages available to the character because of her race.

Unchained Monk (Scaled Fist)

AC Bonus (Ex): When unarmored and unencumbered, the monk adds his Wisdom bonus (if any) to his AC and CMD. In addition, a monk gains a +1 bonus to AC and CMD at 4th level. This bonus increases by 1 for every four monk levels thereafter, up to a maximum of +5 at 20th level.
These bonuses to AC apply even against touch attacks or when the monk is flat-footed. He loses these bonuses when he is immobilized or helpless, when he wears any armor, when he carries a shield, or when he carries a medium or heavy load.

Draconic Fury (Su): At 3rd level, the scaled fist has gains the elemental fury ki power. This ability replaces the ki power normally gained at 4th level.

Draconic Mettle (Su): At 4th level, a scaled fist gains a +2 bonus on saving throws attempted against all fear, paralysis, and sleep effects. This ability replaces the still mind ability.

Draconic Might : Any of the scaled fist’s class abilities that make calculations based on her Wisdom (including bonus feats with DCs or uses per day, such as Stunning Fist, but not Wisdom-based skills or Will saving throws) are instead based on her Charisma.

Evasion (Ex): At 2nd level, a monk can avoid damage from many area-effect attacks. If a monk succeeds at a Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, he instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if a monk is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless monk does not gain the benefit of evasion.

Fast Movement (Ex): At 3rd level, a monk gains an enhancement bonus to his land speed, as shown on Table 1–2. A monk in armor or carrying a medium or heavy load loses this extra speed.

Flurry of Blows (Ex): At 1st level, a monk can make a flurry of blows as a full-attack action. When making a flurry of blows, the monk can make one additional attack at his highest base attack bonus. This additional attack stacks with the bonus attacks from haste and other similar effects. When using this ability, the monk can make these attacks with any combination of his unarmed strikes and weapons that have the monk special weapon quality. He takes no penalty for using multiple weapons when making a flurry of blows, but he does not gain any additional attacks beyond what’s already granted by the flurry for doing so. (He can still gain additional attacks from a high base attack bonus, from this ability, and from haste and similar effects).
At 11th level, a monk can make an additional attack at his highest base attack bonus whenever he makes a flurry of blows. This stacks with the first attack from this ability and additional attacks from haste and similar effects.

Ki Pool (Su): At 3rd level, a monk gains a pool of ki points, supernatural energy he can use to accomplish amazing feats. The number of points in a monk’s ki pool is equal to 1/2 his monk level + his Wisdom modifier. As long as he has at least 1 point in his ki pool, he can make a ki strike. At 3rd level, ki strike allows his unarmed attacks to be treated as magic weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. At 7th level, his unarmed attacks are also treated as cold iron and silver for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. At 10th level, his unarmed attacks are also treated as lawful weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. At 16th level, his unarmed attacks are treated as adamantine weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction and bypassing hardness.
By spending 1 point from his ki pool as a swift action, a monk can make one additional unarmed strike at his highest attack bonus when making a flurry of blows attack. This bonus attack stacks with all bonus attacks gained from flurry of blows, as well as those from haste and similar effects. A monk gains additional powers that consume points from his ki pool as he gains levels.
The ki pool is replenished each morning after 8 hours of rest or meditation; these hours do not need to be consecutive.

Ki Powers (Su): At 4th level and every 2 levels thereafter, a monk can select one ki power. These powers allow the monk to perform amazing feats of mystical power and acrobatic prowess by expending points from his ki pool. Once a ki power is selected, it cannot be changed. Some ki powers require the monk to be of a specific level or higher before they can be chosen. Unless otherwise noted, a monk cannot select an individual ki power more than once.
Elemental Fury (Su): A monk who selects this ki power must select one type of energy: acid, cold, electricity, or fire. Once this choice is made, it cannot be changed. The monk can expend 1 point from his ki pool as a swift action to imbue his natural attacks with this energy, causing them to deal 1d6 points of damage of the chosen type for a number of rounds equal to 1/2 his monk level. A monk must be at least 6th level before selecting this ki power.

Purity of Body (Ex): At 5th level, a monk gains immunity to all diseases, including supernatural and magical diseases.

Style Strike (Ex): At 5th level, a monk can learn one type of style strike. Whenever he makes a flurry of blows, he can designate one of his unarmed strikes as a style strike. This attack is resolved as normal, but it has an additional effect depending on the type of strike chosen. At 9th level, and every 4 levels thereafter, a monk learns an additional style strike. He must choose which style strike to apply before the attack roll is made. At 15th level, he can designate up to two of his unarmed strikes each round as a style strike, and each one can be a different type. The monk can choose from any of the following strikes.
Flying Kick: The monk leaps through the air to strike a foe with a kick. Before the attack, the monk can move a distance equal to his fast movement bonus. This movement is made as part of the monk’s flurry of blows attack and does not require an additional action. At the end of this movement, the monk must make an attack against an adjacent foe. This movement may be between attacks. This movement provokes an attack of opportunity as normal. The attack made after the movement must be a kick.

Stunning Fist (Ex): At 1st level, the monk gains Stunning Fist as a bonus feat, even if he does not meet the prerequisites. At 4th level, and every 4 levels thereafter, the monk gains the ability to apply a new condition to the target of his Stunning Fist. This condition replaces stunning the target for 1 round, and a successful saving throw still negates the effect. At 4th level, the monk can choose to make the target fatigued. At 8th level, he can make the target sickened for 1 minute. At 12th level, he can make the target staggered for 1d6+1 rounds. At 16th level, he can permanently blind or deafen the target. At 20th level, he can paralyze the target for 1d6+1 rounds. The monk must choose which condition will apply before the attack roll is made. These effects do not stack with themselves (a creature fatigued by Stunning Fist cannot become exhausted if hit by Stunning Fist again), but additional hits do increase the duration.

Unarmed Strike (Ex): At 1st level, a monk gains Improved Unarmed Strike as a bonus feat. A monk’s attacks can be with fists, elbows, knees, and feet. This means that a monk can make unarmed strikes with his hands full. There is no such thing as an off-hand attack for a monk striking unarmed. A monk can apply his full Strength bonus on damage rolls for all his unarmed strikes. A monk’s unarmed strikes deal lethal damage, although he can choose to deal nonlethal damage with no penalty on his attack roll. He can make this choice while grappling as well.
A monk’s unarmed strike is treated as both a manufactured weapon and a natural weapon for the purpose of spells and effects that enhance or improve either manufactured weapons or natural weapons.
The damage dealt by a monk’s unarmed strike is determined by the unarmed damage column on Table 1–2: Monk. The damage listed is for Medium monks. The damage for Small or Large monks is listed below.

Skills: A half-dragon with racial Hit Dice has skill points per racial Hit Die equal to 6 + its Intelligence modifier. Racial class skills are unchanged from the base creature's.

Iakyth’s story begins at The Monastery of the Learned Warrior, a somewhat isolated monastery on the southern coast of Jalmeray. His draconic mother, Maxera, was the monastery’s guardian, and she gave him to the monks with strict instructions to train him in both mind and body, to hone his skills, for 25 years. After that time, he was to journey to her island by boat, where he would face a series of trials to prove himself worthy of her blessing. The monks agreed.

Iakyth was told nothing of this, though growing up it was readily apparent he was not like anyone else in the monastery. He was no throwback to a draconic ancestor. His tiny wings, teeth, and claws, coupled with a human child’s mind, made him a most difficult and unruly child. Many a monk grew tired keeping him controlled and attempting to teach him discipline suitable for Irori. Perhaps as much for sanity as anything else, those who had the duty of teaching him thought of their time as a test of their patience, centeredness, and devotion to the Master of Masters. Eventually, as the dragonling grew older, he became more calm and studious, more focused and centered. He applied himself to both his physical and his mental studies, proving himself of keen mind and powerful body. His draconic heritage grew more pronounced as his wings became capable of bearing his weight, his claws and teeth grew sharper, and his scales became more refined.

Under the monk’s physical training, his innate draconic strength and toughness were honed to peak physical condition. He was constantly pushed to his limits, for he had started so far beyond other students that he had to be pushed further than they. For training the mind, where other students were to study three or four subjects each, he was forced to study all of them, the monks adhering to his mother’s instruction that they should ready him for whatever tests lie ahead. They taught him not to rely on his advantages, for they could be taken away at any moment. Finally, upon his 25th birthday, he was called before the leader of the monastery, and was told of his mother.

300 years ago, the Monastery of the Learned Warrior was established. Part temple to Irori, part martial arts training dojo, and part school, the Monastery attracted the attention of a bronze dragon, Maxera, who had made her lair on a rocky island some distance away. Intrigued, she adopted a human guise and sought to learn about the monks and their traditions. She sought acceptance to the school, and was able to prove herself worthy of their teachings. The monks taught a hard discipline, emphasizing that only through perfection of mind and body could one truly attain enlightenment. Students were expected to study a wide variety of topics and maintain themselves in perfect physical form. Time in the day was limited, but these were the monks’ expectations. Maxera found their teachings useful, and eventually revealed to the monks her true identity. In thanks for their teachings, Maxera vowed to protect the monastery should any danger arise.

They told him she had given him to the monastery to raise and train, and that he must now journey to her island and face a series of tests to prove his worth. The monastery provided a small, one-person boat for him, and Iakyth left to meet his mother. His mother, knowing this day would arrive, saw him coming, and used her magic to cloak herself in invisibility. When he got close, she called up the winds of the tempest, capsizing and destroying the small boat, forcing Iakyth to swim to the rocky shore, for he could not fly in the strong winds. Once he’d made it to the shore, he saw no way up but straight. Again, his mother brought the tempest winds, stopping him from flying, and forcing him to climb the hundreds of feet to the top of the cliff.

Once he arrived, on top of the cliff, he found himself facing a forest of strange trees he had never seen before. His mother, pleased at his success, left to prepare herself for the next test. It had been several hours since Iakyth had eaten or rested, his food lost in the capsized boat. Fortunately, he was able to gather some food and water from a stream, and took some time to meditate and regain his strength. He then pressed on into the forest, until he came to a gate of crystal, guarded by an Oread. The Oread greeted him, and said he would unlock the gate and allow Iakyth to pass, so long as he could recite the history of the war between Nex and Geb. Having learned this, Iakyth did so, and the Oread unlocked the gate and allowed him to pass into a vast crystal labyrinth.

He spent until the next night within the labyrinth until he arrived at a grove in the center. There, a dryad awaited with her sacred tree, along with a pool of clear, drinkable water and other fruit-bearing trees. The dryad said he could partake of the water and fruit, and rest in her grove, if he could but describe to her twelve different varieties of tree and six different animals. It took him an hour, but he was able to answer her question, and so had the chance to eat and rest. When he awoke, the dryad showed him the path he had to take in order to find the exit, and he set off yet again.

After several hours, he found the exit to the maze, but his way was blocked by the next test - a massive stone slab that would have to be moved. Calling on Irori for strength, he caused himself to grow to the size of a small giant and pushed and heaved until the stone was moved out of the way, and he stepped into a cavern, so dark that even with his draconic sight he could not see, for his mother had filled the way with globes of deeper darkness to further challenge him. He had to blindly find his way through the caves carefully avoiding tripping on stalactites or stalagmites, winding downwards until he came into a part of the cave where the magical darkness was gone. There, he found a dwarf, who challenged him to a wrestling contest in order to move on. Iakyth accepted, and he and the dwarf battled for several minutes until the half-dragon got the upper hand and pinned the dwarf so he could not escape. Laughing, the dwarf showed him the path to take to his final challenge.

Eager, Iakyth strode down the path, looking forward to completing his tasks. He was tired, and he had not eaten since the dryad’s grove, but soon he would prove his worth. He stepped into a round chamber, lit by torches with continual flame spells on them. A circle was drawn about the perimeter of the chamber, one step from the walls. Standing at the far side of the circle was a woman, knelt in meditation. As he stepped into the chamber, her eyes opened, and she stood, saying, ”You have done well, my son, in making it this far. You have shown your endurance, your knowledge, your cunning, and your strength. The rules for your final test are simple. Once you cross the line, the test begins. After crossing the line, you cannot cross it again until you have completed the test. If you do, you have failed. You have one hour to rest and prepare yourself before you cross the line. If you do not do so by the end of the hour, you will have failed. Questions will not be answered. You will be told the test once you cross the line.” Here, she pulled an hourglass from somewhere, and said, ”Your hour begins...now.” The hourglass turned, and the sand began to fall.

Iakyth was tired, and he knew an hour would not be enough time to recover his rest. There was clearly no food for him, so he was hungry as well. Still, he had never backed away from a test, never backed away from a chance at improving himself. Kneeling, he meditated, steadied his breathing, and attempted to will away his fatigue. As the end of the hour drew near, he preyed to Irori for strength, for both mind and body, and to guide him in combat. Opening his eyes, he stepped over the line, saying ”I am ready.” His mother smiled. ”Good. Your task is very simple - you must hit me.” A task which proved to be not so simple after all.

It was evident within the first minute that his mother’s skill was far beyond his. She evaded fist, foot, elbow, head, knee, claw, and maw. She ducked, weaved, flipped, and sidestepped out of the way his attacks with ease, saying nothing, merely smiling a small smile. For half an hour they went. Iakyth’s muscles burned, and he labored for breath. His mother seemed hardly to have exerted herself at all. Iakyth knew that he could not keep going for much longer. Pausing to catch his breath, he replayed the fight, and then noticed a pattern. When he was his most aggressive, she would always respond with a certain defense. If he changed up his attack…

Iakyth spread his wings and let out a draconic bellow, charging at his mother, pulling his fist back for a powerful punch. She began her dodge...and then Iakyth whipped his leg around to kick her in the side, right in the path of where she was dodging. He was pretty sure it didn’t hurt her - she didn’t react with pain, anyway - but she stopped, smiled, and said, ”Well done, my son. You are worthy. Come.”

She led him to another passage, this one ascending, until they arrived at a pagoda. Within, he was given food and drink, and she revealed to him that over the years he had populated her island with several followers, and used magic to shape the rocky land to something more suitable. His father had been one of her followers, a Pathfinder who would go on expeditions. He had died shortly after he was born, dead in an ancient Osirian tomb of a devious trap. She had left him to be trained at the monastery because he would always be a being of two worlds - dragon and human - and he needed to be trained first in the human world, in their ways, before he could be trained in the dragon’s ways.

For the next two years, Iakyth trained with his mother, learning to incorporate his draconic ancestry with his Iroran techniques. She also taught him more about magic and the planes, subjects the Monastery hadn’t covered, and how to use his wings to properly fly, not clumsily fumble about. During that time, she gave him access to books from her horde, some of which were imbued with magic that would enhance his abilities. Finally, she pronounced him ready, and gave him a task: to venture into the world, gather knowledge, and add it to her library. The Pathfinder Society would be his best path to do so, and the nearest lodge was in Sothis, in Osirion. She gave him some items from her horde to aid him, and Iakyth returned to the monastery. From there, he took ship from Jalmeray to Katapesh, and then Katapesh to Sothis, where he presented himself at the Pathfinder Lodge there. With both his mother’s and the monastery’s education, he easily proved himself worthy. He joined a couple of Pathfinder expeditions to ancient Osirian ruins, where both his knowledge and his martial skills proved valuable to the expedition. After a year, he was chosen to participate in an exchange program with the Pathfinder lodge in Varisia. He set sail on a ship, first to Absalom, and then from there to Magnimar. Now, he has presented himself to Heidmarch manor, the Society’s lodge, to meet with the Venture-Captain, Sheila Heidmarch.
