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.

Other

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.

Ratfolk Abilities
————————————————————
Size (Small) Ratfolk are Small and thus gain a +1 size bonus to their AC, a +1 size bonus on attack rolls, a –1 penalty on combat maneuver checks and to their CMD, and a +4 size bonus on Stealth checks.
Tinker (Ex) Ratfolk gain a +2 racial bonus on Craft (alchemy), Perception, and Use Magic Device checks.
Rodent Empathy (Ex) Ratfolk gain a +4 racial bonus on Handle Animal checks made to influence rodents.
Swarming (Ex) Ratfolk are used to living and fighting communally, and are adept at swarming foes for their own gain and their foes’ detriment. Up to two ratfolk can share the same square at the same time. If two ratfolk in the same square attack the same foe, they are considered to be flanking that foe as if they were in two opposite squares.
————————————————————
Wizard Abilities
————————————————————
Shadow Spells (Su) At 1st level, a shadowcaster uses his shadow to prepare additional spells. He must spend his entire period of spell preparation in dim illumination to use this ability. He may prepare a number of additional spell levels of spells equal to the level of the highest-level wizard spell he can cast. For example, if he can cast 6th-level wizard spells, he could prepare six 1st-level spells, two 3rd level-spells, or any similar combination that adds up to a total of six spell levels. These spells are stored in his shadow. He can only cast these spells when he is in an area of normal light or dim light. He gains Shadowtongue as a bonus language.
Shadow Sight (Ex) At 5th level, a shadowcaster gains darkvision 60 feet. This ability replaces the shadowcaster’s 5th-level wizard bonus feat.
Opposed Schools: Evocation/Necromancy A wizard that chooses to specialize in one school of magic must select two other schools as his opposition schools, representing knowledge sacrificed in one area of arcane lore to gain mastery in another. A wizard who prepares spells from his opposition schools must use two spell slots of that level to prepare the spell. For example, a wizard with evocation as an opposition school must expend two of his available 3rd-level spell slots to prepare a fireball. In addition, a specialist takes a –4 penalty on any skill checks made when crafting a magic item that has a spell from one of his opposition schools as a prerequisite.
Arcane School: Illusion (Phantasm) Illusionists use magic to weave confounding images, figments, and phantoms to baffle and vex their foes.
Extended Illusions (Su) Any illusion spell you cast with a duration of “concentration” lasts a number of additional rounds equal to 1/2 your wizard level after you stop maintaining concentration (minimum +1 round). At 20th level, you can make one illusion spell with a duration of “concentration” become permanent. You can have no more than one illusion made permanent in this way at one time. If you designate another illusion as permanent, the previous permanent illusion ends.
Terror (Su) As a standard action, you can make a melee touch attack that causes a creature to be assailed by nightmares only it can see. The creature provokes an attack of opportunity from you or an ally of your choice. Creatures with more Hit Dice than your wizard level are unaffected. This is a mind-affecting fear effect. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Intelligence modifier.
Bonus Feats 15th, and 20th level, a wizard gains a bonus feat. At each such opportunity, he can choose a metamagic feat, an item creation, or Spell Mastery. The wizard must still meet all prerequisites for a bonus feat, including caster level minimums. These bonus feats are in addition to the feats that a character of any class gets from advancing levels. The wizard is not limited to the categories of Item Creation Feats, Metamagic Feats, or Spell Mastery when choosing those feats. A wizard may also choose an Arcane Discovery that he qualifies for in place of a bonus feat at these levels.
Wizard Spells Known A wizard begins play with a spellbook containing all 0-level wizard spells (except those from his opposed schools, if any; see Arcane Schools) plus three 1st-level spells of his choice. The wizard also selects a number of additional 1st-level spells equal to his Intelligence modifier to add to the spellbook. At each new wizard level, he gains two new spells of any spell level or levels that he can cast (based on his new wizard level) for his spellbook. At any time, a wizard can also add spells found in other wizards’ spellbooks to his own. Wizards perform a certain amount of spell research between adventures. Each time a character attains a new wizard level, he gains two spells of his choice to add to his spellbook. The two free spells must be of spell levels he can cast.

Alchemist Abilities
————————————————————
Alchemy (Su) When using Craft (alchemy) to create an alchemical item, an alchemist gains a competence bonus equal to his class level on the Craft (alchemy) check. In addition, an alchemist can use Craft (alchemy) to identify potions as if using detect magic. He must hold the potion for 1 round to make such a check.
Bomb (Su) An alchemist can use a number of bombs each day equal to his class level + his Intelligence modifier. A psychonaut’s bombs deal damage one die step lower than normal (regular bombs deal d4s, concussive bombs deal 1d3s, and so on).
Cognatogen (Su) When an alchemist brews a cognatogen, he selects one mental ability score—either Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma. It’s a standard action to drink a cognatogen. Upon being imbibed, the cognatogen causes the alchemist to grow bulkier and more bestial, granting him a +2 natural armor bonus and a +4 alchemical bonus to the selected ability score for 10 minutes per alchemist level. In addition, while the cognatogen is in effect, the alchemist takes a –2 penalty to one of his physical ability scores. If the mutagen enhances his Intelligence, it applies a penalty to his Strength. If it enhances his Wisdom, it applies a penalty to his Dexterity. If it enhances his Charisma, it applies a penalty to his Constitution. All limitations of mutagens apply to cognatogens as if they were the same substance—an alchemist can only maintain one mutagen or cognatogen at a time, a cognatogen that is not in an alchemist’s possession becomes inert, drinking a cognatogen makes a non-alchemist sick, and so on. When the effect of the cognatogen ends, the alchemist takes 2 points of ability damage to the ability score penalized by the cognatogen. The infuse mutagen discovery and the persistent mutagen class ability apply to cognatogens.
Discovery (Su) At 2nd level, and then again every 2 levels thereafter (up to 18th level), an alchemist makes an incredible alchemical discovery. Unless otherwise noted, an alchemist cannot select an individual discovery more than once. Some discoveries can only be made if the alchemist has met certain prerequisites first, such as uncovering other discoveries. Discoveries that modify bombs that are marked with an asterisk (*) do not stack. Only one such discovery can be applied to an individual bomb. The DC of any saving throw called for by a discovery is equal to 10 + 1/2 the alchemist’s level + the alchemist’s Intelligence modifier. A mindchemist may select Skill Focus (Disable Device, Disguise, Heal, any Knowledge skill, Sense Motive, or Spellcraft) in place of a discovery. A mindchemist may learn three languages in place of a discovery.
Tumor Familiar (Ex) The alchemist creates a Diminutive or Tiny tumor on his body, usually on his back or stomach. As a standard action, the alchemist can have the tumor detach itself from his body as a separate creature vaguely resembling a kind of animal suitable for a familiar (bat, cat, and so on) and move about as if it were an independent creature. The tumor can reattach itself to the alchemist as a standard action. The tumor has all the abilities of the animal it resembles (for example, a batlike tumor can fly) and familiar abilities based on the alchemist’s caster level (though some familiar abilities may be useless to an alchemist). The tumor acts as the alchemist’s familiar whether attached or separated (providing a skill bonus, the Alertness feat, and so on). When attached to the alchemist, the tumor has fast healing 5. An alchemist’s extracts and mutagens are considered spells for the purposes of familiar abilities like share spells and deliver touch spells. If a tumor familiar is lost or dies, it can be replaced 1 week later through a specialized procedure that costs 200 gp per alchemist level. The ritual takes 8 hours to complete.
Chameleon (Su) An alchemist with this discovery can shift the colors of his skin and equipment to blend in with the surrounding terrain. He gains a +4 enhancement bonus on Stealth checks. At 10th level, the bonus on Stealth checks increases to +8.
Poison Resistance (Ex) At 2nd level, an alchemist gains a +2 bonus on all saving throws against poison.
Perfect Recall (Ex) At 2nd level, a mindchemist has honed his memory. When making a Knowledge check, he may add his Intelligence bonus on the check a second time. Thus, a mindchemist with 5 ranks in Knowledge (history) and a +2 Intelligence bonus has a total skill bonus of +9 (5 + 2 + 2) using this ability. The mindchemist can also use this ability when making an Intelligence check to remember something.
Swift Alchemy (Ex) At 3rd level, an alchemist can create alchemical items with astounding speed. It takes an alchemist half the normal amount of time to create alchemical items, and he can apply poison to a weapon as a move action.
Precognition At 5th level, a psychonaut adds augury to his formula book as a 2nd-level extract (this extract does not require a divine focus component).
Alchemist Formulae Known An alchemist begins play with two 1st level formulae of his choice, plus a number of additional forumlae equal to his Intelligence modifier. At each new alchemist level, he gains one new formula of any level that he can create. An alchemist can also add formulae to his book just like a wizard adds spells to his spellbook, using the same costs and time requirements. An alchemist can study a wizard’s spellbook to learn any formula that is equivalent to a spell the spellbook contains. A wizard, however, cannot learn spells from a formula book. An alchemist does not need to decipher arcane writings before copying them.
1st Level Formulae 18
2nd Level Formulae augury (does not require focus), 2
————————————————————
Vetala Abilities
————————————————————
Natural Weapons (2 claws) A vetala’s natural weapons are treated as magic weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
Drain Prana (Su) A vetala can drain the mental vitality of a grappled opponent. If the vetala establishes or maintains a pin, it drains this energy, dealing 1d4 points of Charisma damage. Additionally, the victim is affected by the spell modify memory, as if the vetala had spent 5 minutes concentrating. The vetala gains perfect knowledge of any memory it chooses to eliminate using this ability. Vetalas often use this ability to prevent victims from remembering they’ve been attacked.
Malevolence (Su) As a full-round action, a vetala can attempt to take control of a helpless living creature’s body, as the spell magic jar (caster level 10th or the vetala’s Hit Dice, whichever is higher), except that it does not require a receptacle. The target can resist the attack with a successful Will save. A creature that successfully saves is immune to that same vetala’s possession for 24 hours. If a creature fails its save, its consciousness and control of its body are subsumed as the vetala takes command of its body. The vetala can remain in control for a number of hours equal to its Charisma modifier or until it decides to end the possession. Whenever the possession ends or the host body is killed, the vetala’s consciousness instantly returns to its body, regardless of distance, so long as it remains on the same plane. If the vetala’s body has been destroyed or moved to another plane, the vetala’s consciousness is destroyed when the possession ends. While possessing another creature, the vetala’s body is empty and vulnerable, though it is instantly aware if its body is disturbed or takes damage.
Paralysis (Ex) Any creature struck by a vetala’s claws must make a successful Will save or be paralyzed for 1d4+1 rounds. Elves are immune to this effect.
Possess Corpse (Su) As a full-round action, a vetala can possess a Large or smaller corpse just as it can a living body. The vetala’s consciousness leaves its body and takes control of the corpse, animating it as either a skeleton or zombie (depending on its state of decay). The vetala can remain in control of a corpse indefinitely, and can communicate through the body, but cannot use any of its other special abilities. This ability otherwise functions just as malevolence.
————————————————————
Nightmare Abilities
————————————————————
Feign Death (Ex) Whenever a nightmare creature is unconscious, it appears dead. A conscious nightmare creature can also make itself appear dead as an immediate action. Any creature that physically interacts with a nightmare creature feigning death must succeed at a Heal check or Will saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 the nightmare creature’s Hit Dice + the nightmare creature’s Intelligence or Charisma modifier, whichever is higher) to recognize it is actually alive.
Illusion Resistance (Ex) A nightmare creature automatically disbelieves illusions (no saving throw required) and has a +4 bonus on saving throws to resist illusion effects.
Fear Aura (Su) All creatures within a 60-foot radius that see or hear a nightmare creature must succeed at a Will save or be shaken for as long as they are within the aura. Whether or not the save is successful, that creature cannot be affected again by the same nightmare creature’s fear aura for 24 hours. This is a mind-affecting fear affect.
Frightful Presence (Su) This ability activates when the nightmare creature charges, attacks during a surprise round, or succeeds at a DC 15 Intimidate or Perform check. Its frightful presence has a range of 30 feet.
Night Terrors (Su) Once a nightmare creature enters a target’s mind with its dream or nightmare spell-like ability, it can attempt to control the target’s dream. If the target fails a Will saving throw, it remains asleep and trapped in the dream world with the nightmare creature. Thereafter, the nightmare creature controls all aspects of the dream. Each hour that passes, the target can attempt another saving throw to try to awaken (it automatically awakens after 8 hours or if the nightmare creature releases it). The target takes 1d4 points of Charisma damage each hour it is trapped in the dream; if it takes any Charisma damage, it is fatigued and unable to regain arcane spells for the next 24 hours. The target dies if this Charisma damage equals or exceeds its actual Charisma score.
————————————————————
Feats
————————————————————

Just over a hundred years ago, as the world reeled from the death of Aroden, magic was in a state of flux. With the future no longer certain, and calamities beset the Inner Sea, strange energies infused a number of beings.

One of those beings was Kel-sharai, born in a traveling Varisian caravan, consisting mostly of Kitsune. Born the very day the god of humanity died, it was obvious he wasn't normal, with a snow-white coat, eyes the color of midnight, and three tails from his very birth. He was trained as a sorcerer, and his aptitude for natural magic could not be denied (he was a prodigy in nearly every conceivable area, especially the arcane), and his natural powers blossomed from even a young age. However, this did not satisfy him. With a mind keener than any of his peers, he ran circles around all who tried to mentor him, but as his other six tails grew in and his shapechanging abilities developed, he tackled studied magic, trying to become the ultimate mage. He certainly did manage that, and his arcane powers blossomed. He also proved a gifted craftsman, capable of infusing magic into nearly anything. However, as anyone who tried to get Kel to do anything he didn't want to do faced a near impossible battle, as the only thing stronger than Kel's magic was his will, and it was virtually impossible to get him to change his mind about anything.

Before he even reached adulthood, Kel's family was fed up with him, and he with them. As a result, at the age of 14 (4620 AR), he ran away from home to the young city of Magnimar, where he developed his wizardry skills into something more substantial. Three years later, going by the name Tor Grundarr, as a member of the Eyes of the Hawk, helped Magnimar fend off shriezyx as the spider creatures attempted to attack the city. Uncontent with this, though, he adopted the name of Galdurin Barmier and founded the Twilight Academy some miles outside of the city. His headstrong and sometimes reckless nature bled into the nature of the research done at the academy, and it resulted in the Twilight Academy attracting those whose projects were perhaps more uncouth.This culminated when, one day, he was overseeing a new necromancy experiment being executed by an aspiring sorcerer, when it backfired and instantaneously killed everyone within a hundred yard area, their bodies untouched but their souls severed from their bodies.

Or at least, that's the apparent result. In truth, it's likely that only Kel and the necromancer would have died, but as he felt his life get stripped away, was no exception to this, but he had other ideas. As he felt his soul slip away, he simply refused to die. As he desperately clung onto life, he used so much of his natural power that it was actually weakened, but accomplished no more than clawing the life out of many students in the vicinity.

And yet… after death, the combined magical and mental energy of himself and the students mingled together, unlocking power in his dead body, and he arose as a psychic vampire a day later, with a hunger for knowledge (both literal and metaphorical). However, as he was already considered dead as Galdurin (and so having had his kitsune nature made apparent to those who buried him, Kel finally abandoned his old life and name, and set off into the wilds to reinvent himself and learn about his new abilities and weaknesses. He did so, and spent about a decade learning how to weave the necromantic energies from his new form into powerful curses, and deliver them at the tip of a sword.

In 4649 AR, he returned to Magnimar, now going by the name of Marat Velris, and, after just a bit of work, managed to set himself up quite nicely, purchasing a relatively modest house in the Alabaster district. Over the next 50 years, he quietly developed a business crafting magical items, and eventually pretended to pass away. Now, he's filling the role of Marat's "son" Ronodin, as an eclectic mage and someone with a keen interest in collecting magical items and expanding his knowledge. As both of those tasks are the primary goals of the Pathfinders, Ronodin joined them relatively recently as a scholar-warrior, and is waiting for a new assignment.

Caramon and Janelk were prisoners of a wizard, Vlashka, conducting experiments delving into immortality. In his pursuits Vlashka captured many subjects from different planes, and kept them in his personal demiplane for his experiments. He even managed to bring in draconic powers in various forms. His attempts to create immortality often failed, and even his apparent successes never saw the light, as he could not bear to look upon their twisted forms and kept them ever in the darkness.

Over the years he refined his approach, and slowly the results of his testing grew stronger, with more sanity. Vlashka realized that he would not be able to accomplish his goals with the "materials" that he had access to, and set about perfecting his rituals to summon more power. When Vlashka thought he was ready, he attempted to summon Yig, Father of Serpents, and bind him to his will. He failed terribly, and paid for his hubris with his life. Seeing the many experiments caged by the wizard, Yig freed them from Vlashka's bindings to find their own lives. More than half the experiments had turned feral, or never progressed past that stage in their development; the chaos and destruction upon their release was immense. The rational survivors banded together to slay each of the insane monstrosities; and then for the most part, the sane monstrosities went their own way.

Caramon remembered enough of his early days to know that times ahead would be tough, and made a pact with Janelk, one of the other surviving experiments, to work together. The deimplane was close to the Plane of Shadow, and though Janelk had survived Vlashka's experiments they had left him vulnerable to influence from the Shadow Plane, though still corporeal. The survivors knew that once they left the demiplane, there was no way back; and so they left at different times, as each felt ready to go into the worlds. Caramon and Janelk stayed on the permanent demiplane for almost a year, learning all that they could and readying themselves to enter a hostile world. Caramon found himself drawn to Yig, both as their savior from the wizard and because of his release of the experiments; Caramon rejoiced when the arcane shackles burst, and credits Yig with his freedom.

Ssethiss was mighty psychic serpentfolk who underwent mythic ascension, living many centuries and attempting to reach the pinnacle of demigodly power during the fall of the seprentfolk empire. His study of mythic power led him down darker and darker roads.

In desperation, he began seeking the means to bring down the enemies driving his people to extinction. Studying the vast alien influence of the dark tapestry and the mumblings of the servants of Groetus, he found and began studying a Doomsday Door rumored to touch upon the face of mythical Shoggoths and Star-spawn in the vast depths of space.

Alas for him, the complexity of the door’s mechanisms and the passage of time were catching him in the waning years of his time. Still, he had mastered the formulae needed to perform the reincarnation ritual that would allow him to disguise himself as a lesser, human creature, giving him the time he needed to complete his research.

Doomsday, however, waits for no creature, not even one of Ssethiss’ might. When the Door opened a crack mid-ritual, Ssethiss was pulled through the door, captured mid-reincarnation and experimented upon by the alien beings beyond the door.

Whether time passes differently on the other side, or it truly was millennia Ssethiss spent under the tender graces of the chaos-born creatures beyond the stars matters little, the effect was the same. For Sessthis, broken, rebroken, and reincarnated ad-infimum until his mind no longer held together completely, the past- both in the ancient serpent kingdom and in the cold depths of space- are pieces of his life his mind will no longer allow him to see.

A second crack of the Doomsday Door just under a year ago released a new being, whose barely coherent mind has renamed himself Seth Thyss. Seth’s mind gets frequently frightening half-visions of the past, but chalks it up to something he saw when the door opened just a bit, at which time he grabbed the treasures in the chamber and fled for his life.

Seth isn’t sure what happened to him before fleeing and what little he knows about it makes his mind reel against any attempt to rediscover the hidden past. He knows he’s not really human, at least, he figures, not anymore. His psychic abilities are difficult for him to master, and he finds spending too much time trying to recover the powers he feels he has hidden inside him brings the nightmares in full force.

Seth contacted the Pathfinder Society in hopes that the study of ancient civilizations as a whole will distract him from whatever in his past haunts him.

Seth is a tall, pale-skinned human with dark hair and startling purple eyes. Handsome in the extreme, he is of athletic if somewhat slight build. He has a serpentine birthmark on his inner left thigh.

Seth usually uses his ioun stone’s disguise self ability to appear as a slightly shorter, much less handsome, varisian man with lighter hair and brown eyes, finding it easier to fit in to Magnimar’s streets this way.
