About Angels DragonfireCeleste
Racial:
DREIGE RACIAL TRAITS • +2 Strength, +2 Wisdom, -2 Dexterity: Dreigi are strong and wise, but their large size makes them clumsy. • Medium: Dreigi are Medium creatures and thus have no bonuses or penalties for size. • Humanoid (giant): Dreigi are humanoids with the giant subtype. • Darkvision (Ex): Dreigi can see in the dark out to 60 feet. • Powerful Build (Ex): The physical stature of dreigi lets them function in many ways as if they were one size category larger. Whenever a dreige is subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for a Combat Maneuver Bonus or Combat Maneuver Defense (such as during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts), the dreige is treated as one size larger if doing so is advantageous to him. A dreige is also considered to be one size larger when determining whether a creature’s special attacks based on size (such as grab or swallow whole) can affect him. A dreige can use weapons designed for a creature one size larger without penalty. However, his space and reach remain those of a creature of his actual size. The benefits of this racial trait stack with the effects of powers, abilities, and spells that change the subject’s size category. • Ancient Grudge (Su): Dreigi labor under a mighty oath of revenge against those who destroyed their culture and scattered them to the winds; they benefit from a +2 bonus on attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws made against fey and outsiders with the chaotic and/or evil subtypes. This bonus increases by +1 every 4 character levels. • Reject Fey Guile (Ex): Dreigi gain a +2 racial bonus on saving throws vs. compulsion effects. • Sunder Magewalls (Ex): Dreigi ignore hardness when attacking magical barriers (such as that created by wall of force) and deal addition • Gianthide (Ex): A dreige’s thick skin increases its natural armor bonus by +1. • Languages: Dreigi begin play speaking Common and Giant. Dreigi with high Intelligence scores can choose from the following: Dwarven, Elven, Giant, Gnome, Halfling, or Sylvan. • Spurn Enslavement (Su): Some dreigi have an innate ability to punish those who would try to enslave them with sorcery. Whenever a dreige succeeds a saving throw against a mind-affecting spell, spell-like ability, or supernatural ability, the source of that spell or ability must succeed at a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 the dreige’s character level + the dreige’s Wisdom modifier) or suffer damage equal to the dreige’s character level, as well as a -2 penalty to their caster level for a number of rounds equal to the dreige’s Wisdom modifier. This replaces the child of iron racial trait. Favored Class option • Stalker: Add 1/6 of a new stalker art.
Class Features:
Armor of Scars (Ex): The brutal slayer takes as well as he gives, becoming protected by the scars of wounds he has already survived. At 1st level, a brutal slayer gains a +1 bonus to his natural armor bonus to AC. (this stacks with his existing natural armor bonus, if any) At 4th level and every four levels thereafter, this bonus increases by +1. In addition, the brutal slayer’s instincts enable him to better dodge incoming blows; whenever he spends a fullround action to recover maneuvers, he gains a dodge bonus to AC equal to his brutal slayer initiation modifier. This ability replaces dodge bonus. Muscle Memory (Ex): The muscles of a brutal slayer are honed to deadly efficiency, just like his blades. Starting at 2nd level, a brutal slayer may add 1/2 his Strength modifier to his AC and to Reflex saves instead of his Dexterity modifier. At 6th level, the brutal slayer may add his full Strength modifier instead of his Dexterity modifier, rather than 1/2. The brutal slayer’s Strength bonus to his AC is still limited by his armor’s maximum Dexterity bonus. Rage (Ex) A barbarian can call upon inner reserves of strength and ferocity, granting her additional combat prowess. Starting at 1st level, a barbarian can rage for a number of rounds per day equal to 4 + her Constitution modifier. At each level after 1st, she can rage for 2 additional rounds. Temporary increases to Constitution, such as those gained from rage and spells like bear's endurance, do not increase the total number of rounds that a barbarian can rage per day. A barbarian can enter rage as a free action. The total number of rounds of rage per day is renewed after resting for 8 hours, although these hours do not need to be consecutive. While in rage, a barbarian gains a +4 morale bonus to her Strength and Constitution, as well as a +2 morale bonus on Will saves. In addition, she takes a –2 penalty to Armor Class. The increase to Constitution grants the barbarian 2 hit points per Hit Dice, but these disappear when the rage ends and are not lost first like temporary hit points. While in rage, a barbarian cannot use any Charisma-, Dexterity-, or Intelligence-based skills (except Acrobatics, Fly, Intimidate, and Ride) or any ability that requires patience or concentration. A barbarian can end her rage as a free action and is fatigued after rage for a number of rounds equal to 2 times the number of rounds spent in the rage. A barbarian cannot enter a new rage while fatigued or exhausted but can otherwise enter rage multiple times during a single encounter or combat. If a barbarian falls unconscious, her rage immediately ends, placing her in peril of death. Uncontrolled Rage (Ex) A wild rager's rage functions as normal, except that when she reduces a creature to 0 or fewer hit points, she must attempt a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 the barbarian's level + the barbarian's Constitution modifier) or become confused. For the remainder of her current turn, she attacks the nearest creature other than herself. On the following round, refer to the confusion spell to determine her actions. At the end of this round, and each round thereafter, she can attempt a new saving throw to end the confusion effect. The rounds during which she is confused do not count against the rounds she has spent raging that day, but she cannot end her rage voluntarily, nor can she use rage powers while confused. Wild Fighting (Ex) At 2nd level, even when not raging, wild ragers often fight with reckless, savage abandon. A wild rager using the full-attack action can make one extra attack per round at her highest base attack bonus. Until the beginning of her next turn, however, she takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls and –4 penalty to AC. This ability replaces uncanny dodge. Rage Conversion (Ex) At 5th level, a wild rager who fails a saving throw against any mind-affecting effect can attempt a new saving throw at the beginning of her next turn. If the save succeeds, that effect ends and she instead rages and becomes confused as noted above. This ability replaces improved uncanny dodge. In order for the primal disciple to recover maneuvers, she must draw on the strength of her ancestors as a full round action. When she does so, she recovers a number of expended maneuvers equal to her primal disciple initiation modifier (minimum 2), regains one round of rage, and if she is fatigued as a result of her rage class feature, she can make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + the number of rounds the fatigue would last) to not become fatigued. Alternately, the primal disciple may focus inward and recover a single maneuver as a standard action. Maneuvers Readied: Instead of recovering maneuvers like a standard stalker a brutal slayer uses his ki to reinforce his body as a full-round action. When he does so, he recovers a number of expended maneuvers equal to his brutal slayer initiation modifier (minimum 2) and gains temporary hit points equal to twice his initiator level and damage reduction/– equal to his brutal slayer initiation modifier (minimum 0). These temporary hit points and damage reduction last for one round, and stack with any other sources of temporary hit points or damage reduction he may have. In addition, the next strike he initiates this encounter deals additional bleed damage equal to his brutal stalker initiation modifier. The target continues to bleed until the bleeding is stopped via magical healing or a successful DC 15 Heal check. Alternately, the brutal slayer can take a moment to realign himself and recover a single maneuver as a standard action. This ability alters maneuvers readied. Brutal Strikes (Ex): Starting at 1st level, whenever a brutal slayer confirms a critical hit against a creature, he gains a +4 profane bonus to Strength for a number of rounds equal to his brutal slayer initiation modifier. This bonus increases to +6 at 8th level and to +8 at 16th level. This ability replaces deadly strikes. Combat Insight (Su) At 2nd level, the keen senses and awareness of the stalker delivers him a sort of sixth sense. This insight performs as an intuitive alarm, alerting him of danger. Through his rigorous practice and learning to trust his instincts and intuition to an unearthly level, the senses of the stalker are unusually sharp. At 2nd level, the stalker's combat sense opens his third eye, granting him defensive reflexes that protect him in combat. The stalker may add his Wisdom modifier to his initiative score and to Reflex saving throws as an insight bonus. At 4th level, the heightened perceptions of the stalker allow him to know when his prey could get the jump on him, granting him the uncanny dodge class feature (see rogue class for details). The ascetic gains Toughness as a bonus feat at 1st level. At every even level, she may select a bonus feat from the following list: Acrobatics, Agile Maneuvers, Alertness, Athletic, Blind-Fight, Combat Casting, Combat Expertise, Combat Reflexes, Dodge, Defensive Combat Training, Diehard, Endurance, Fleet, Great Fortitude, Improved Initiative, Iron Will, Lightning Reflexes, Lunge, Nimble Moves, Run, Self-Sufficient, Skill Focus, and Toughness. She must meet the prerequisites for these feats. Bodily Manipulation (Sp) An ascetic does not gain the ability to spontaneously cast cure or inflict spells by sacrificing prepared spells. However, she can spontaneously cast the following spells by sacrificing a prepared spell of the noted level or above. As an additional limitation, only the ascetic can be the target of these spells. 1st level—endure elements
Mind is Body (Ex) The ascetic can grant a total number of enhancement bonuses to any of her physical abilities (Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution) equal to her Wisdom modifier. She may divide the bonuses in any way between these three ability scores. She can change the distribution of these bonuses when she prepares spells. Wise Defense When unarmored, an ascetic adds her Wisdom bonus (if any) to her AC and her CMD. These bonuses apply to AC even against touch attacks or when the ascetic is flat-footed. She loses these bonuses when she is immobilized or helpless, when she wears any armor, or when she carries a shield. rage/domain/inquisition/stalkerarts:
Combat Art A stalker that selects this art gains a bonus combat feat. The stalker must meet the prerequisites for selecting this feat. This art may be selected more than once. Brutal Assault (Ex): As a swift action, the brutal slayer can spend a point of ki and target a single creature he can see. He gains the benefit of his brutal strikes ability when making attacks against that creature for a number of rounds equal to his initiation modifier. Death Totem, Lesser (Ex) Prerequisite(s): Barbarian or savage Benefit(s): While raging, the barbarian gains DR 5/bludgeoning and a +2 resistance bonus against cold-based spells and effects Granted Powers: You are an explorer and find enlightenment in the simple joy of travel, be it by foot or conveyance or magic. Increase your base speed by 10 feet. Agile Feet (Su): As a free action, you can gain increased mobility for 1 round. For the next round, you ignore all difficult terrain and do not take any penalties for moving through it. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier. Righteous Infiltration (Ex): You use your Wisdom modifier instead of your Charisma modifier when making Bluff and Intimidate checks. Feats:
Prodigious Two-Weapon Fighting:
Prerequisite(s): Str 13 Use Str instead of Dex for meeting Two-Weapon Fighting prerequisites, and treat one-handed weapons as light weapons Double Slice (Combat) Your off-hand weapon while dual-wielding strikes with greater power. Prerequisite: Dex 15, Two-Weapon Fighting. Benefit: Add your Strength bonus to damage rolls made with your off-hand weapon. Normal: You normally add only half of your Strength modifier to damage rolls made with a weapon wielded in your off-hand. Discipline Focus (Thrashing Dragon) You've trained extensively in the arts of a single martial discipline. Prerequisite(s): Ability to initiate three maneuvers of a single discipline. Benefit(s): You gain a +2 bonus to saving throw DCs when using maneuvers of the selected discipline. You also inflict an additional +2 points of damage when wielding associated weapons of the chosen discipline. Special: If the character ever has fewer than three maneuvers known from the specialized discipline, then he loses the benefits of this feat until such a time that he does. This feat may be selected multiple times, each time selecting a new discipline to receive the benefits of this feat. Lurker in Darkness Your training allows you to foil even magical and unusual senses. Prerequisites: Stealth 6 ranks. Benefit: Creatures using unusual forms of sensory perception such as blindsight, greensight, or tremorsense cannot automatically foil your use of Stealth; such creatures must make a Perception check as normal to detect you when you make use of the Stealth skill. This feat foils indirect detection (such as a creature using detect magic to search for your magical items while you are using Stealth) in the manner described above, but has no effect on psi-like abilities, powers, spells, spelllike abilities, and/or supernatural abilities specifically used to uncover information about you rather than enhancing the user’s perception, such as the augury spell Additional Traits: /Wisdom in the flesh(acrobatics) Toughness Two weapon Fighting Stances/Maneuvers:
