Flurry of Maneuvers

In addition to normal monk bonus feats, a maneuver master may select any Improved combat maneuver feat (such as Improved Overrun) as a bonus feat.

Flurry of Maneuvers (Ex)

At 1st level, as part of a full-attack action, a maneuver master can make one additional combat maneuver, regardless of whether the maneuver normally replaces a melee attack or requires a standard action. The maneuver master uses his monk level in place of his base attack bonus to determine his CMB for the bonus maneuvers, though all combat maneuver checks suffer a –2 penalty when using a flurry.

A maneuver master loses this ability when wearing armor, using a shield, or carrying a medium or heavy load.

This ability replaces flurry of blows.

-------------------
Magus 2 Kensai
-------------------
Arcane Pool (Su)

At 1st level, the magus gains a reservoir of mystical arcane energy that he can draw upon to fuel his powers and enhance his weapon. This arcane pool has a number of points equal to 1/2 his magus level (minimum 1) + his Intelligence modifier. The pool refreshes once per day when the magus prepares his spells.

At 1st level, a magus can expend 1 point from his arcane pool as a swift action to grant any weapon he is holding a +1 enhancement bonus for 1 minute. For every four levels beyond 1st, the weapon gains another +1 enhancement bonus, to a maximum of +5 at 17th level. These bonuses can be added to the weapon, stacking with existing weapon enhancement to a maximum of +5. Multiple uses of this ability do not stack with themselves.

At 5th level, these bonuses can be used to add any of the following weapon properties: dancing, flaming, flaming burst, frost, icy burst, keen, shock, shocking burst, speed, or vorpal.

Adding these properties consumes an amount of bonus equal to the property’s base price modifier. These properties are added to any the weapon already has, but duplicates do not stack. If the weapon is not magical, at least a +1 enhancement bonus must be added before any other properties can be added. These bonuses and properties are decided when the arcane pool point is spent and cannot be changed until the next time the magus uses this ability. These bonuses do not function if the weapon is wielded by anyone other than the magus.

A magus can only enhance one weapon in this way at one time. If he uses this ability again, the first use immediately ends.

Spell Combat (Ex)

[See FAQ]

At 1st level, a magus learns to cast spells and wield his weapons at the same time. This functions much like two-weapon fighting, but the off-hand weapon is a spell that is being cast. To use this ability, the magus must have one hand free (even if the spell being cast does not have somatic components), while wielding a light or one-handed melee weapon in the other hand. As a full-round action, he can make all of his attacks with his melee weapon at a –2 penalty and can also cast any spell from the magus spell list with a casting time of 1 standard action (any attack roll made as part of this spell also takes this penalty). If he casts this spell defensively, he can decide to take an additional penalty on his attack rolls, up to his Intelligence bonus, and add the same amount as a circumstance bonus on his concentration check. If the check fails, the spell is wasted, but the attacks still take the penalty. A magus can choose to cast the spell first or make the weapon attacks first, but if he has more than one attack, he cannot cast the spell between weapon attacks.

Spellstrike (Su)

[See FAQ]

At 2nd level, whenever a magus casts a spell with a range of “touch” from the magus spell list, he can deliver the spell through any weapon he is wielding as part of a melee attack. Instead of the free melee touch attack normally allowed to deliver the spell, a magus can make one free melee attack with his weapon (at his highest base attack bonus) as part of casting this spell. If successful, this melee attack deals its normal damage as well as the effects of the spell. If the magus makes this attack in concert with spell combat, this melee attack takes all the penalties accrued by spell combat melee attacks. This attack uses the weapon’s critical range (20, 19–20, or 18–20 and modified by the keen weapon property or similar effects), but the spell effect only deals ×2 damage on a successful critical hit, while the weapon damage uses its own critical modifier.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency

A kensai is proficient in simple weapons and in a single martial or exotic melee weapon of his choice. A kensai is not proficient with armor or shields and suffers normal arcane spell failure chance when casting magus spells while armored.

Diminished Spellcasting

A kensai may cast one fewer spell of each level than normal. If this reduces the number to 0, he may cast spells of that level only if his Intelligence allows bonus spells of that level.

Canny Defense (Ex) +2ac

At 1st level, when a kensai is wielding his chosen weapon, he gains the canny defense ability. This is identical to the duelist prestige class ability of the same name, save that his chosen weapon may be of any type.

Weapon Focus (Ex)

At 1st level, a kensai gains Weapon Focus with his chosen weapon as a bonus feat.

Class Features
The following are the class features of the warpriest.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency
Cult leaders are proficient with all simple weapons, plus the hand crossbow, rapier, sap, shortbow, and short sword, as well as the favored weapon of their deity. They are proficient with light armor and light shields. The cult leader does not gain Weapon Focus as a bonus feat as a warpriest normally would.

This replaces the warpriest’s weapon and armor proficiencies.

Spell Casting (Divine)

Spontaneous Casting: A good warpriest (or a neutral warpriest of a good deity) can channel stored spell energy into healing spells that he did not prepare ahead of time. The warpriest can expend any prepared spell that isn’t an orison to cast any cure spell of the same spell level or lower. A cure spell is any spell with “cure” in its name.

Aura (Ex)
A warpriest of a chaotic, evil, good, or lawful deity has a particularly powerful aura (as a cleric) corresponding to the deity’s alignment (see detect evil).

Blessings (Su)(6 times per day)
Protection
Increased Defense (minor): At 1st level, you can gain a +1 sacred bonus on saving throws and a +1 sacred bonus to AC for 1 minute. The bonus increases to +2 at 10th level and +3 at 20th level.

Aura of Protection (major): At 10th level, you can emit a 30-foot aura of protection for 1 minute. You and your allies within this aura gain resistance 10 against acid, cold, electricity, fire, and sonic. At 15th level, the energy resistance increases to 20.

War
War Mind (minor): At 1st level, you can touch an ally and grant it a tactical advantage for 1 minute. At the start of its turn each round, it can select one of the following bonuses: +10 feet to base land speed, +1 dodge bonus to AC, +1 insight bonus on attack rolls, or a +1 luck bonus on saving throws. Each bonus selected lasts for 1 round.

Battle Lust (major): At 10th level, you can touch an ally and grant it a thirst for battle. All of the ally’s melee attacks are treated as if they had the vicious weapon special ability, but the additional damage dealt to the ally from that special ability is nonlethal. In addition, the ally receives a +4 insight bonus on attack rolls made to confirm critical hits. These benefits last for 1 minute.

Well-Hidden (Ex)
A cult leader gains a +2 bonus on Disguise and Stealth checks.
This ability replaces focus weapon.

Sacred Weapon (Su)(6 rounds)
At 4th level, the warpriest gains the ability to enhance one of his sacred weapons with divine power as a swift action. This power grants the weapon a +1 enhancement bonus. For every 4 levels beyond 4th, this bonus increases by 1 (to a maximum of +5 at 20th level). If the warpriest has more than one sacred weapon, he can enhance another on the following round by using another swift action. The warpriest can use this ability a number of rounds per day equal to his warpriest level, but these rounds need not be consecutive.

These bonuses stack with any existing bonuses the weapon might have, to a maximum of +5. The warpriest can enhance a weapon with any of the following weapon special abilities: brilliant energy, defending, disruption, flaming, frost, keen, and shock. In addition, if the warpriest is chaotic, he can add anarchic and vicious. If he is evil, he can add mighty cleaving and unholy. If he is good, he can add ghost touch and holy. If he is lawful, he can add axiomatic and merciful. If he is neutral (with no other alignment components), he can add spell storing and thundering. Adding any of these special abilities replaces an amount of bonus equal to the special ability’s base cost. Duplicate abilities do not stack. The weapon must have at least a +1 enhancement bonus before any other special abilities can be added.

Bonus Languages
A warpriest’s bonus language options include Abyssal, Celestial, and Infernal. These choices are in addition to the bonus languages available to the character because of his race.

Fervor (Su) (5 Times per Day)
At 2nd level, a warpriest can draw upon the power of his faith to heal wounds or harm foes. He can also use this ability to quickly cast spells that aid in his struggles. This ability can be used a number of times per day equal to 1/2 his warpriest level + his Wisdom modifier. By expending one use of this ability, a good warpriest (or one who worships a good deity) can touch a creature to heal it of 1d6 points of damage, plus an additional 1d6 points of damage for every 3 warpriest levels he possesses above 2nd (to a maximum of 7d6 at 20th level). Using this ability is a standard action (unless the warpriest targets himself, in which case it’s a swift action). Alternatively, the warpriest can use this ability to harm an undead creature, dealing the same amount of damage he would otherwise heal with a melee touch attack. Using fervor in this way is a standard action that provokes an attack of opportunity. Undead do not receive a saving throw against this damage. This counts as positive energy.

As a swift action, a warpriest can expend one use of this ability to cast any one warpriest spell he has prepared with a casting time of 1 round or shorter. When cast in this way, the spell can target only the warpriest, even if it could normally affect other or multiple targets. Spells cast in this way ignore somatic components and do not provoke attacks of opportunity. The warpriest does not need to have a free hand to cast a spell in this way.

Sneak Attack (Ex)
At 3rd level, a cult leader gains the sneak attack ability, as the rogue class feature. If he already has sneak attack from another class, the extra damage from the classes that grant sneak attack stack for the purpose of determining the sneak attack’s extra damage dice. This extra damage is 1d6 at 3rd level and increases by 1d6 every 3 levels thereafter.

This ability replaces the bonus feats gained at 3rd, 9th, and 15th levels.

Enthrall (Sp)
At 4th level, a cult leader can cast enthrall. Using this ability consumes two uses of his fervor ability.

This ability replaces channel energy.

Iz-Dubar is a giant and massive man standing a full head over six feet, broad shouldered and deep of chest, with a massive corded neck and heavily muscled limbs with gnarled callused hands that attest to a life of hard labor. The warpriest is well tanned, from constant exposure to the elements, with walnut colored, weathered skin, that accentuates the hard, dangerous lines of his body.

The large man has sinister, yet handsome face that always looks like he’s about to laugh or scowl. His face is framed by slicked dark flowing hair with a luxurious mustache and a well-trimmed beard the same color. His gaze is knowing and penetrating with grey eyes, the color of the sky right before a storm, that appear to miss little.

The imposing man looks older than his years and carries himself with an air of confidence. Iz-dubar favors fine heavy armor and he always has his longsword within easy reach.

Iz-Dubar is a serious and ardent worshiper of Mitra, The Scales of Justice. As such he tries to exercise temperance and charity on his journey towards self-perfection. He is stoic but is stern when necessary, often standing up for the down trodden and oppressed. While Iz-dubar is dour those who are close to him appreciate his wry sense of humor.
The big man is a lover of debate, learning, and physical challenges, embracing these as experiences on his path of enlightenment.

Additionally, Iz-Dubar is polite, soft spoken, and well-mannered but isn’t afraid to speak his mind. His deep voice often gives advice in riddles, aphorisms, and metaphors with a knowing look.

Iz-Dubar, the son of Magistrate Iz-Ammon was born into a life of affluence and privilege. His home was in the Garden district of Kritius and at the age of 8 he began training as,a,priest,of,Mitra. He excelled at the martial training of his order and charged with bringing Mitra’s Justice throughout the lands.

Certainly! Let's create a new background for a human female warpriest and cult leader of Freya in the city of Djanet, with a poor charisma and additional information about Freya's teachings:

Born in the city of Djanet, she was raised in a small community that worshiped the goddess Freya. From a young age, she displayed a strong devotion to the goddess, but her lack of charisma and social skills held her back from rising through the ranks of the temple's priesthood. Despite her shortcomings, she continued to study the teachings of Freya and hone her combat skills, eager to prove herself as a true servant of the goddess.

Freya's teachings focus on love, beauty, and strength. She is revered as a goddess of war, fertility, and wealth, and her followers are encouraged to embody these qualities in their own lives. The warpriest was particularly drawn to Freya's teachings of strength and ferocity, and dedicated herself to mastering the art of combat in the goddess's name.

During a time of war and turmoil in the city, she was given the opportunity to prove her worth. She led a group of Freya's followers into battle, using her knowledge of the goddess's teachings and her combat prowess to defeat their enemies. Despite her lack of charisma, her tactical prowess and unwavering devotion to Freya earned her the respect of her followers and the title of "warpriest."

She now leads a small cult dedicated to Freya, preaching the goddess's teachings of love, beauty, and strength. While her followers respect her for her martial skills and dedication to the goddess, they do not see her as a charismatic leader. Despite this, she remains humble and dedicated to the worship of Freya, using her strength to defend and care for her followers as best she can. She also strives to embody Freya's teachings in her own life.

Swashbucklers have bad saves, getting a +2 resistance cloak would be a priority, as are picking up a ring of protection and an amulet of natural armor. Given his low strength I felt the handy haversack was more important than an extra +1 ac.

I should give him a bow he's got a reasonable amount of spare gold, will do that later.

He’s a jovial fellow who makes friends easily, with a privileged upbringing and a cup half full mentality. He’s the sort to push on, with a proper stiff upper lip no matter how hard it gets!
