Class Features
All of the following are class features of the avenger.
Weapons and Armor Proficiency: An avenger is proficient with all simple and martial weapons. They are not proficient with any armor.
Oath of Enmity (Su): The avenger designates one opponent as the target of his antagonism as a swift action. All attacks made against that target gain a +2 power bonus. If the target of the Oath of Enmity is killed or disabled, the avenger may shift this oath to another target.
Fast Movement (Ex): An avenger’s land speed is faster than the norm for his race by +10 feet. This benefit applies only when he is wearing no armor, light armor, or medium armor and not carrying a heavy load. Apply this bonus before modifying the avenger’s speed because of any load carried or armor worn.
Armor of Faith (Su): As long as the avenger is not wearing any armor they receive a bonus equal to their Wisdom bonus + ¼ their avenger level to their Armor Class, in addition to their Dexterity bonus.
Domains (Su): At first level the avenger may pick one domain from those of his deity. The avenger is able to use all powers from that domain as if he were a cleric of equal level. However, the avenger is not able to cast spells from this domain.
Spells: An avenger casts divine spells which are drawn from the avenger spell list. His alignment may restrict him from casting certain spells that are opposed to his moral or ethical outlook. An avenger may cast any spell he knows without prior preparation. When an avenger gains access to a new level of spells, he automatically knows all the spells for that level listed on the avenger spell list.
To cast a spell, an avenger must have a Wisdom score equal to at least 10+the spell level. the Difficulty Class for a saving throw against an avenger’s spell is equal to 10 + the spell level + the avenger’s Wisdom modifier.
Like other spellcasters, an avenger can only cast a certain number of spells per day. His base daily allotment of spells is given on the class table. In addition, he receives bonus spells per day if he has a high Wisdom.
Radiant Vengeance (Sp): Starting at 2nd level the avenger may add his Wisdom bonus to attack and damage rolls made with melee weapons. This ability is usable a number of times per day equal to his Wisdom bonus.
Divine Strike (Sp): If an avenger can catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from his attack he is able to call on his god to provide him with insight into how best to dispatch his foe.
The avenger’s attack deals extra damage any time his target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not), or when the avenger flanks her target. This extra damage is 1d6 at 3rd level, and it increases by 1d6 every four avenger levels thereafter. Should the avenger score a critical hit with a sneak attack, this extra damage is not multiplied.
Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks only if the target is within 30 feet.
Unlike a rogue’s sneak attack, the avenger’s Divine Strike can affect undead, but it cannot affect constructs. Like a rogue’s sneak attack, the avenger must be able to see his target and must be able to reach the main body of the target.
Divine Guidance (Su): Starting at 4th level, the avenger begins to gain greater insight from his god. This insight allows him to add his Wisdom bonus + ½ his avenger level to any roll to confirm a critical hit.
Bond of Foresight (Su): At 5th level, the avenger’s bond with his deity allows him to add his Charisma bonus to attack rolls made on attacks of opportunity.
Oath of Enduring Wrath (SU): By spending a move action the avenger gains a morale bonus to saving throws equal to 2 + his Wisdom bonus for one minute. This ability can be used Charisma bonus number of times per day.
Channel Endurance (Su): By sacrificing all attacks for one round the avenger is able to gain DR 2/- for a number of rounds equal to his Wisdom bonus + ½ the avenger level.
Oath of Final Judgment (Su): Beginning at 17th level, the avenger becomes so dedicated to his cause that he can continue to fight when lesser men would fall. When he falls below 0 hps, he can spend a full round action to restore himself to 1 hp. This ability can be used a number of times per day equal to his Wisdom bonus.

Thanks. ON the whole I like it. But I have a few suggested changes that you may or may not agree with.
I think the primary saves for the avenger would be Ref and Will, not fort and will.
Fast Movement (Ex): An avenger’s land speed is faster than the norm for his race by +10 feet. This benefit applies only when he is wearing no armor, light armor, or medium armor and not carrying a heavy load. Apply this bonus before modifying the avenger’s speed because of any load carried or armor worn.
Armor of Faith (Su): As long as the avenger is not wearing any armor they receive a bonus equal to their Wisdom bonus + ¼ their avenger level to their Armor Class, in addition to their Dexterity bonus.
Domains (Su): At first level the avenger may pick one domain from those of his deity. The avenger is able to use all powers from that domain as if he were a cleric of equal level. However, the avenger is not able to cast spells from this domain.
For Fast Movement, I would model it more after the Monk's and Barbarian's abilities and make it only light or no armor.
I would drop the 1/4 level bonus to armor of faith, that mechanic is not used as much in pathfinder.
Domains and spells: I like the idea of only one domain but they should have access to the spells as well, so reduce the spells per day by 1 and add +1 for domain spell.
Divine Guidance (Su): Starting at 4th level, the avenger begins to gain greater insight from his god. This insight allows him to add his Wisdom bonus + ½ his avenger level to any roll to confirm a critical hit.
again drop the +1 per 2 levels bonus.
Beyond these few quibbles (Ymmv) pretty good.

I see where you are going with a lot of your changes. When I first stated this up, we were still in Beta, so I had to make some guesses as to what the final product would look like. The Fast Movement was taken directly from the way that the barbarian's ability was written at the time. It would make sense to change it now. The reason I limited the spells they had acess to was to make the class more fit the flavor of the 4e class. You are certainly welcome to change that. I made the other to abilities scale like they do because it seemed that Armor of Faith, frxample, would get less useful as time went on if it ddn't scale. I based the progression on the monk so it should fit well with the other base classes.

David, here is the Avenger with my tweeks. 99% of it is still yours
(if I had to build it out using the current clases, I would use a Paladin/rogue combo, ignoring the Pally alignment restrictions)
I didn't list the +1's on all spell levels for the domain spells to save a bit of space.

David, good work. I just hate how all formatting is lost when you put it in the forums.
WHy the Kukri for the Raven Queen?
(If you can't guess I'm trying to convert an Avenger of the Raven Queen. :) )
I wanted to get away from the spiked chain and the Shadar-kai that stuck out the most to me was armed with kukri.

As good as anything else. I was wondering because I got NO sense of what it would be from the writeup in the 4ephb
On a related note... Anyone figured out favored weapons and domains of the 4e gods?
Ask and ye shall recieve
Many of these can be found in 3.X splat books, and you have a few wrong in the list, but of course as a DM feel free to change them as you wish.
But for instance Gruumsh is one of the spears and not great axe (orcs only started using great axes in 3.x but Gruumsh has been using a spear for much longer) and I do believe Corellon is long sword not long bow.
Both Tiamat and Bahamut are claw, they are dragons after all.
But again that was the 3.X postings, maybe 4e did something really odd with them that changed that.

4E did make several changes to how deities were presented. When I converted them I intentionally put all the 3.5 stuff out of my mind and went mostly from the way they were presented in 4E. For example Tiamat and Bahaumat are not locked in to being dragons. As gods they can appear in any form they choose. They also don't discriminate against worshippers, so they would require a favored weapon that doesn't require their clerics to be born with natural weapons. Corellon is presented as a woodland deity, having planted most of the worlds forests and being the god of Spring, among others. Looking at that I decided that a longsword really didn't fit since he was basically being presented as the quintesential ranger in 4E. The longbow also fit because of his ties to the elves, who only get bow proficiencies in 4E. Also in 4E orcs are associated almost entirely with axes. Thus it made sense that the orc's god would favor the iconic orc weapon. Only when something did not clearly lend itself based on the 4E material did I go back to 3.5 for direction.
|
That is some good stuff. I do have a conversion question. In 4E ever class fits a role...striker, defender, controller and leader. How would you fit the current PFRPG classes as well as Tome of Secrets classes into that matrix.
Second Question...how do you fit into the matrix of power source...arcane, divine, martial, primal...and I guess now psionic for monk. That one I don't get but oh well.
