Detect Good, Aura of Evil = Detect Magic

As long as arcana has been tampered with, Spellblights have been a balance between terror, and inconvience, to those who wield arcana. And the spellblight templar, has become the one to enforce this cruel fate as their whim. Perhaps as a curse of birth, or perhaps by mystical mistake, these select few souls have the unnatural ability to channel a bizarre anti-magic, and to damn other casters with their mere presence.

Archetype Name: Spellblight Templar
Primary Class: Antipaladin
Secondary Class: Magus
Hit Dice: D10
Alignment: Any Non-Good

Detect Magic (Sp)
At will, a spellblight templar can use detect magic, as the spell. A spellblight

templar can, as a move action, concentrate on a single Item or individual within

60 feet and determine if it is good, learning the strength of its aura as if

having studied it for 3 rounds. While focusing on one individual or object, the

spellblight templar does not detect good in any other object or individual within

range.

Conduit of the Spellblight (Ex)
Once per day, the spellblight templar can channel their unnatural gift to curse

those who tamper in the domain of arcana. As a swift action, the spellblight

templar chooses one target to blight. If this target has a caster level, the spellblight templar adds his Charisma bonus (if any) on his attack rolls and adds his spellblight templar level on all damage rolls made against the target of his smite. Upon striking the caster, they are inflicted with a random minor spellblight.

At 3rd level, an additional minor spellblight is afflicted upon the target. At 8th level, one of these minor spellblights instead becomes a major spellblight. At 14th level, an additional minor spellblight is gained. Finally, at 17th level, an additional major spellblight is added to the effect.

At 4th level, and at every three levels thereafter, the spellblight templar may channel the spellblight one additional time per day, to a maximum of seven times per day at 19th level.

This replaces Smite Good, Aura of Cowardice, Aura of Despair, Aura of Sin, and Aura of Depravity.

Spellbreaker (Ex)
When casting Bestow Curse, Dispel Magic, Greater Dispel Magic, or Antimagic Field,

add half your Spellblight Templar level to your total caster level.

At 5th level, the spellblight templar gains Disruptive as a bonus feat, wether or

not they meet the prerequisites. At 8th level, they gain Spellbreaker as an

additional bonus feat. At 11th level, they gain Shatterspell as an additional

bonus feat. At 14th level, you gain Banishing Critical as an additional bonus

feat. At 17th level, you gain Destructive Dispel as a bonus feat

This replaces Fiendish Boon

Many martial styles take inspiration from beings outside the reaches of civilization. Be it the earthly, yet striking power of the tiger. Or the selfless sacrifice of the archon. These savage pugilists, however, take a much darker inspiration. Infusing themselves with the essence of the very beings that inspire them, and working unholy anatomy into an arsenal of martial stylings, based around the cruel techniques of demon-kind. The abyssal brute fights with wicked efficiency, and wanton cruelty

At 5th level, as a brawler

Abyssal Savaging (Su)
At 5th level, the abyssal brute can learn one method of Savaging. Whenever he makes an abyssal flurry, he may designate one of his attacks as an abyssal savaging. This attack is resolved as normal, but has an additional effect depending on the type of savaging chosen. The abyssal brute begins to take dark inspiration from the devious techniques of demon-kind. At 8th level, and every 3rd level thereafter, the abyssal brute may select an additional savaging. At 14th level, he can designate up to two of his savagings in a round.

-Balor's Edge (Su):
The brute channels the blasphemous power of the balor's blade into his own strike. For the purpose of this single attack, the active weapon (including an unarmed strike) is treated as having the vorpal quality.

-Coloxus's Bite (Su):
The abyssal brute imbues his strike with the cruel, vane, consuming sting of the coloxus. If the attack hits, the target must make a fortitude save (DC 15 + the attacker's abyssal brute level) or suffer 1d4 points of charisma damage for every 5 abyssal brute levels.

-Gibrileth's Filth (Su):
The abyssal brute strikes the target with a festering, gangrenous, unholy scar upon their body. If the attack hits, the target must make a fortitude save (DC 15 + The attacker's abyssal brute level), or be infected with a disease as if the abyssal brute had cast contagion, using his abyssal brute level as his caster level.

-Glabrezu's Trickery (Su):
They abyssal brute channels the treacherous essence of a glabrezu into their fist, imbuing it with an unholy wave of distortion. If this attack hits, the target must make a will save, or be affected as if by a Confusion spell, treating the attacker's abyssal brute level as his caster level.

-Herensugue's Horror (Su):
The abyssal brute's strike leaves a maddening din of unholy taint, endlessly whispering the target's darkest fears. If the attack hits, the target must make a will save (DC 15 + the attacker's abyssal brute level) or be Paralyzed for 1d4 rounds per 5 abyssal brute levels. This is a mind-affecting fear effect.

-Hezrou's Funk (Su):
The abyssal brute bursts with breif growths, which pop on impact, creating a noxious stench. If the attack hits, the target of this strike must make a DC 15 + the attacker's abyssal brute level, or be nauseated for one minute. This savaging must be done with an unarmed strike.

-Marilith's Embrace (Su):
The abyssal brute extends their limb of attack, unnaturally, to strangle their target into submission. If the attack hits, the abyssal brute may make a free grapple attempt against the target of this attack, at a +5 Bonus.

-Nalfahsee's Visions (Su):
The abyssal brute directs before the eyes of their victims a haze of maddening images. If the attack hits, the target must make a will save (DC 15+ the attacker's abyssal brute level) or be dazed for 1d4 rounds per 4 abyssal brute levels.

-Quasit's Venom (Su):
The abyssal brute garners the sick sting of the feeble quasit. If the attack hits, the target must make a fortitude save (DC 15+ the attacker's abyssal brute level) or suffer 1d2 Dexterity damage every round, for 1d4 rounds per abyssal brute level.

-Succubus's Kiss (Su):
The abyssal brute forgoes a punch, or kick, or a slice of the blade, for a much more unorthodox attack, an unholy kiss. If the attack hits, it deals no damage, instead the target must make a Fortitude save (D 20 + The attacker's abyssal brute level) Or suffer one negative level per five abyssal brute levels.

-Vrock's Cry (Su):
The abyssal brute's weapon splits, like some crude beak, and lets out a horrid, unnatural shreik. If the attack hits, the target must make a Fortitude save (DC 15 + The attacker's abyssal brute level) or be stunned for 1 round.

This, along with Brawler's Strike, replaces Feindish Boon

In a small village, isolated village, upon a mountain, a single wise man discovered a way to harness the power of the sun and the heavens through his breath. He refined this sacred technique, this glorious light, into a powerful tool of both healing and purifying. This was the beginning of the ripple. An esoteric and versatile power, the formal disciples of the ripple take it within them to use this holy light to protect the innocent and the natural, and banish the unholy and abominable from this world.

Archetype Name: Disciple of the Ripple
Primary Class: Monk
Secondary Class: Paladin
Alignment: Lawful Good
Hit Dice: D10

Overdrive (Su)
Once per day, a disciple of the ripple may channel the power of the sun through their breath into their fists. As a swift action, the disciple of the ripple chooses one target within sight to strike with a ripple overdrive. While overdrive is in effect, the first successful attack against the target of their overdrive deals bonus points of damage equal to the disciple's monk level, and automatically bypasses any DR the creature posesses. If the creature's DR would already be bypassed by a standard ripple strike, the bonus damage increases to 2 points of damage per level.

The overdrive lasts until the target of the overdrive is dead, or the next time the disciple of the ripple rests. At 4th level, and every three levels thereafter, the disciple may activate an overdrive one additional time per day, to a maximum of seven times per day at 19th level.

This replaces Stunning fist

Ripple Pool (Su)
At 4th level, a disciple of the ripple gains a pool of ripple points, supernatural energy drawn from the sun and harness through his breath to push his body beyond mortal limits. These function as Ki points for all intents and purposes, however the mechanics as they apply to the monk are somewhat different. The number of points in a disciple of the ripple's reservoir is equal to 1/2 his monk level + his Con modifier. As long as he has at least 1 point in his ripple pool, he may make a ripple strike.
-At 4th level, ripple 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 silver and good weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction
-At 10th level, his unarmed attacks are also treated as lawful and cold iron weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction
-At 16th level, his unarmed attacks are also treated as adamantine and fire weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction and bypassing hardness.

By spending 1 point from his ripple pool, a disciple of the ripple can do one of the following:

- Make one additional attack at his highest attack bonus when making a flurry of blows attack, or
- Treat his unarmed strike as if it bears the ghost touch quality, or
- Treat his unarmed strike as bearing the reach quality for 1 round, or
- gain a bonus equal to his charisma modifier (minimum 1) on all saving throws for 1 round, or
- replicate the effects of lay on hands, treating their disciple of the ripple level -4 as their paladin level.

This modifies, and functions overwise as, Ki Pool.

Focus-Tinted Overdrive (Su):
At 4th level, the disciple learns to better focus and control their ripple and body to enhance their overdrives. When activating an overdrive, they may spend a single point from their ripple pool to further enhance it into a focus-tinted overdrive. The disciple chooses a single weapon, be it a natural, improvised, or manufactured weapon, they are treated as being fully proficient with this weapon for as long as the overdrive lasts, and this weapon is treated as bearing the "monk" quality. At 5th level, this chosen weapon is granted a +1 enhancement bonus for as long as the overdrive remains in effect. For every three levels beyond 5th, the weapon gains an additional +1 enchantment bonus, to a maximum of +6 at 20th level. These bonuses can be added to the weapon, stacking with existing weapon bonuses to a maximum of +5, or they can be used to add any of the following weapon properties: anchoring, brilliant energy, defending, disruption, flaming, glorious, grounding, guardian, impact, ki focus, ki intensifying, and neutralizing. Adding these properties consumes an amount of bonus equal to the property's cost. These bonuses are added to any properties the weapon already has, but duplicate abilities do not stack. If the weapon is not magical, atleast a +1 enhancement bonus must be added before any other properties can be added. The bonus and properties granted by the overdrive are determind when the overdrive is activated and cannot be changed until another overdrive is activated.

This replaces the 6th level bonus feat, diamond body, diamond soul, quivering palm, and Tongue of Sun and Moon.

Aura of life (Su):
At 10th level, the ripple user is such a powerful conduit for the ripple that so long as they have atleast 1 point in their ripple pool, any undead or abberration within 10ft of them has any natural fast healing or regeneration effects negated, and cannot be healed by channeled negative energy.

This replaces the 10th level bonus feat.

Master of the Ripple (Su):
At 19th level, the disciple of the ripple gains DR 10/evil and immunity to compulsion spells and spell-like abilities, as well as spell resistance equal to his disciple of the ripple level.

Final Ripple (Su):
At 20th level, when brought to 0 health or lower, a disciple of the ripple may attempt an all-in gambit, expelling all their ripple energy in a single desperate act. They may choose one of the following abilities to use:
-Desperate Overdrive: If not already engaged, the disciple of the ripple is treated as having activated overdrive, with all hostiles treated as the target of this overdrive. When using a flurry of blows action, they may expend 2 points from their ripple pool to launch another attack at their highest base attack bonus against the target, this may be done any number of times per attack. They may also spend 1 point from their ripple pool to automatically confirm any critical hits.
-Cling to Life: The disciple of the ripple expends 2 points from their ripple pool each round to remain concious and alive for an extended period of time. So long as they have at least 1 point in their ripple pool, they are immune to the following conditions: dead, stunned, nasueated, exhausted, frightened, panicked, paralysized, and unconcious. Once their ripple reaches 0, all effects apply as normal. They remain alive and mobile even if unable to attack or in a state where they'd normally be unable to move (I.E. just a severed a head). They may exhaust an additional 1 point of ripple energy a round to benefit from Fast Healing equal to their constitution modifier.
-Empowering Death: The disciple may, as a full-round action, pass on their ripple and strength to an ajacent and willing ally. They pass their life, soul, and ripple into the target, expelling all points from their ripple pool, and inflicting twice their total Disciple of the Ripple levels to themselves as negative levels. For every point expelled from their ripple pool, the target gains 1 point of ki, and 2 temporary HP, for every 4 negative levels inflicted, the target gains a permanent +1 bonus to 3 stats of their choice, and a single level in Disciple of the Ripple. For one minute per level lost, these effects are temporarily doubled, and the target is considered as having no maximum amount of Ki.
If the Disciple of the Ripple dies whilst this power is in effect, the death is final, their ripple and soul burnt out and passed on to nature, or their comrades. Nothing short of a Wish or Miracle can bring the Disciple of the Ripple back to life.

Archetype Name: Hamon Artist
Primary Class: Ninja
Secondary Class: Paladin
Alignment: Any Good
Hit Dice: D8

Weapon and Armor Proficiency

Improvisation (Ex):
At 1st level, a hamon artist gains Catch Off-Guard and Throw Anything as bonus feats. At 6th level, they gain improvised weapon master, regardless of wether or not she meets the prerequisites. At 9th level, and every 3 levels thereafter, she gains a +1 to hit and to damage when using an improvised or exotic weapon.

This Replaces Poison use and No Trace

Ripple Pool (Su)
At 2nd level, a Hamon Artist gains a pool of ripple points, supernatural energy harnessed from the sun, through her breath. The number of points in the hamon artist's ripple pool is equal to 1/2 her ninja level + her Charisma modifier. This functions identically to a ninja's Ki pool, however in place of spending 1 ki to gain a +4 insight bonus on stealth checks, she may spend 1 ripple to gain a +4 bonus on Sleight of Hand checks.

Ripple Technique
As the Hamon Artist advances in their mastery of the ripple, they learn a number of strange maneuvers and interesting uses for their versatile powers. Starting at 2nd level, a hamon artist gains one Ripple Technique. She gains one additional ripple technique for every 2 levels attainted after 2nd. Unless otherwise noted, she cannot select an individual ripple technique more than once:

Bubble Wall (Su): By manipulating the ripple within fluid, a hamon artist may expend 1 point from their ripple pool, and atleast 1 liter of fluid, to surround themselves with a 15ft aura of unusually dense bubbles, granting 20% concealment, and qualifying this radius as difficult terrain, for a number of rounds equal to their charisma modifier. This time is halved or quartered by scaling wind conditions.

Carbonated Bang (Ex): By using the ripple to create pressure inside the container, the hamon artist spends 1 point from their ripple pool to treat a sealed bottle, vial, or jar of fluid as an improvised weapon, propelling the cork or stopper at a target as a swift action. This deals damage as a medium pistol, and a perception check with a DC = to the hamon artist's level + their sleight of hand modifier to detect. If the attack is undectected, this is resolved against the target's touch AC, rather than their full AC. The liquid contained within is expelled from the container during this attack, and is considered wasted. At 8th level, and every 6 thereafter, the effective size catagory of the damage dealt increases.

Muted Resonance (Ex): You may, as a standard action, attempt a feint combat maneuver or sleight of hand check whilst passing by a creature to covertly strike them with a ripple-infused weapon, or plant a ripple-infused object on their person. The target is considered as currently interacting with the ripple-infused object or weapon for the purpose of ripple infusion's detonation. This requires the ripple infusion technique.

Ninja Trick: The hamon artist may select one of the following ninja tricks in place of a ripple technique: Acrobatic Master, Fast Stealth, Flurry of Stars, Hidden Weapons, High Jumper, Ki Block*, Slow Metabolism, Slow Reactions, Unarmed Combat Trainingm Wall Climber

Purify System (Ex): The hamon artist's mastery of the ripple renders them immune to all disease, including supernatural and magical diseases.

Shining Bubbles (Su): The hamon artist may, as a swift action, invest their energy into infusing their wall of bubbles with ripple energy. These bubbles now refract the energy of the sun, dealing 1d6 holy damage per 5 hamon artist levels to all susceptible creatures in the radius. This expends 2 ripple points. The hamon artist must know the Ripple Infusion and Bubble Wall techniques before learning this technique.

Overdrive Surge (Su)
At 5th level, the Hamon artist can expend 2 points from their ripple pool to mimic the effect of a lay-on-hands as a swift action, treating half their Hamon artist levels as paladin levels. This can be activated on a target who would be damaged when a target is dealt precision damage by one of the Hamon Artist's abilities.

This replaces Sneak Attack +3d6 and Sneak Attack +8d6

Ripple Infusion (Su): At 6th level, as a swift action, The hamon artist may invest their energy into charging a weapon or object with ripple energy. This expends 1 ripple point, and the charge remains up to 1 minute per hamon artist level. When a creature interacts with or is struck by the ripple-infused focus, the hamon artist may treat the target creature as being within touch-range for the purpose of her overdrive surge ability. This replaces the ripple technique at 6th level.

Master Techniques:
At 10th level, when a hamon artist could select a ripple technique, she may instead select one of the following Master Techniques:

Advanced Talents: A hamon artist may select one of the following Advanced Rogue talents in place of a ripple technique: Another Day, Confounding Blades*, defensive roll, fast tumble, hard to fool, improved evasion, opportunist, Weapon Snatcher

Carbonated Boom (Ex): The hamon artist can spend 4 points from their ripple pool, to create a heavy bubbling within atleast a gallon of sealed fluid as a standard action. This causes the keg, barrel, or crate's lid to explode off as an improvised weapon wherever the hamon artist aims, dealing damage as a large cannon. Targets must make a perception check with a DC = to the hamon artist's level + their sleight of hand modifier to detect. If the attack is undectected, this is resolved against the target's touch AC, rather than their full AC. At 18th level, damage is resolved as a huge cannon. The hamon artist must know the carbonated bang technique before selecting this technique.

Frozen Wave (Su): By manipulating the ripple within their bubbles, the hamon artist may expend 2 ripple points whilst they have an active bubble wall to launch a wave of condensed, frozen, sharpened bubbles at the target. This functions as a Silver Darts spell, treating the hamon artist's caster level as half their hamon artist level, dealing additional cold damage equal to the hamon artist's charisma modifier. The hamon artist must know the bubble wall technique before selecting this technique.

Master Tricks: A hamon artist may select one of the following master tricks in place of a ripple technique: Deadly Shuriken, Evasion, See the Unseen, Unarmed Combat Mastery

Ray of the Sun (Su): As a standard action, a hamon artist may focus their ripple into concentrated beams of raw burning heat. This functions as a scorching ray spell, using her hamon artist level as her effect caster level, and requires either a gemstone worth at least 2500gp or an active Shining Bubbles technique to be used as a focus, as well as access to either sunlight, or 5d6 channeled positive energy. this expends a minimum of 4 ripple points, however, additional ripple points may be spent, each point counting as an additional caster level.

Ripple Surge (Su): The hamon artist may spend 4 ripple points to channel positive energy as a cleric equal to her hamon artist level -4.

Overdrive Detonation (Su): At 12th level, as a swift action, when a creature is affected by ripple infusion, the hamon artist may spend an additional 2 ripple points to detonate the ripple in an incredibly volatile and painful manner. This deals precision damage equal to the hamon artist's sneak attack. This replaces the 12th level ripple technique.

Master of the Ripple (Ex):
At 20th level, the hamon artist has truely mastered the art of the ripple, with the holy waves flowing through their blood as a great coursing river. They gain DR 10/evil, and no longer suffer aging penalties. When a target is damaged by the hamon artist's Overdrive Surge ability or lay-on-hands, their unnatural nature is torn from the ripple for good, subjecting them to a Flesh to Stone spell, using her hamon artist level as the caster level. In addition, whenever she deals precision damage to a target, she may choose to do the maximum amount as nonlethal damage. Finally, by focusing their breath, as a full round action, they may regenerate a number of ripple points equal to their charisma modifier.

Blind, but not Unseeing (Ex)
All Sightless Blademasters are blind and automatically fail any visual Perception checks. They cannot use scrolls or any other magical item requiring reading or functioning eyes. However, they are immune to gaze attacks and other effects which target the eyes. Sightless Blademasters are trained to use their other senses, particularly their ears, and gain a +10 class bonus to all auditory Perception checks. A trained sightless blademaster's other senses are so acute that, unless a target succeeds on a Stealth check, the sightless blademaster can identify, by sound (and sometimes smell), any creature within 20 feet and suffers no penalties in melee combat from being blind or when attacking invisible creatures. A sightless can target creatures he can identify with spells or ranged attacks but all creatures outside of the moso's sensory range benefit from full concealment. All Disguise checks made against him suffer a -10 penalty. An effect which nullifies sound or renders a sightless blademaster deaf suppresses this ability. A sightless blademaster's ability to audibly discern an individual's location and identity improves by 5 feet at 5th, 10th, 15th and 20th level.

At first level, the sightless blademaster gains Blind-Fight as a bonus feat. At 6th level, they gain Improved Blind Fight as a bonus feat. At 9th level, they gain Teleport Tactician as a bonus feat. At 12th level they gain Greater Blind Fight as a bonus feat.

All allies within 100 feet who hear your cry gain a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls, skill checks, and saving throws for a number of rounds equal to your Charisma modifier. At 10th level, this bonus increases to +2. You can use this ability once per day, plus one additional time per day at 5th level and for every five levels thereafter.

Battlefield Clarity (Ex): Once per day, as an immediate action, whenever you fail a saving throw that causes you to become deafened, frightened, panicked, paralyzed, shaken, or stunned, you may attempt that saving throw again, with a +4 insight bonus on the roll.

At 11th level, as a move action, you can maneuver your weapon to create a shield of whirling steel and wood around yourself until the start of your next turn; non-incorporeal melee and ranged attacks against you have a 20% miss chance while the shield is active. You must be wielding a sword cane, and its scabbard to use this ability.

Focused Trance (Ex): You can enter a deep meditation, blocking out visual and auditory stimuli and allowing you to concentrate on a single problem, philosophical issue, or memory.

Resiliency (Ex): You are not disabled and you do not gain the staggered condition if you are reduced to exactly 0 hit points. At 7th level, you gain Diehard as a bonus feat. At 11th level, you do not lose a hit point when you take a standard action while disabled. You do not need to meet the prerequisite to receive the Diehard feat.

This replaces Resolve, Greater Resolve, and True Resolve

Weapon Expertise:

The sightless blademaster also gains Two-Weapon fighting as a bonus feat. At 5th level, they gain improved two-weapon fighting as a bonus feat. At 14th level, they gain Greater two-weapon fighting as a bonus feat.

This ability modifies Weapon Expertise, and replaces Banner, and Greater Banner.

Perfect Clarity (Ex)
At 20th level, the sightless blademaster may enter a trance of sorts, focusing in on every minute detail of their surroundings, taking in and perfectly defining all they can. Whenever the sightless blademaster declares a challenge, his blindsight extends out to 200ft, in addition to gaining tremorsense out to 40ft and scent. If they already have tremorsense, or scent, the range of that ability is doubled. All critical hits against the target of his challenge are automatically confirmed, and all corporeal attacks directed at the sightless blademaster have a 50% chance of being completely avoided.
