Duplicate (Su): You can use a full round action to split your body into two identical bodies. You can remain in this state for up to 1 hour per mirror mage level, and you must remain in your unified form for at least as long as you were duplicated before using this power again. While duplicated, your hit point total is divided equally between both bodies. Each body may draw upon a shared pool of equipment, feats, skills, special class abilities, spells, etc. Otherwise, each body is identical to your normal unified body. Each of your bodies is aware of what is happening to your other body. Each body gains two temporary negative levels; when a body dies or disappears (a free action), these negative levels disappear from the remaining body.
Great Ally (Ex): You learn how to work well with others, especially with your own duplicate. You gain a bonus equal to ½ your mirror mage level when using the Aid Another action; this bonus stacks with the bonus normally provided by the Aid Another action. You also add ½ your mirror mage level to your attack rolls and damage rolls when flanking an opponent.
Teamwork Feat: At levels 3, 6, and 9, you gain a bonus Teamwork Feat. You must meet all the requirements of the selected Teamwork Feat.
Duplicates (Su): At 4th level, when using your Duplicate ability, you may increase the number of additional bodies you can split into by ½ your mirror mage level. Your hit point total is divided evenly among all your bodies. Each body may draw upon a shared pool of equipment, feats, skills, special class abilities, spells, etc. Each of your bodies is aware of what is happening to all your other bodies. Each body gains a number of temporary negative levels equal to the number of bodies you currently have; when a body dies or disappears (a free action), each remaining body loses a negative level. When you are reduced to a single body, you lose all negative levels.
Expert Flanker (Ex): At 5th level, when flanking an opponent, you add your mirror mage class levels to melee damage on a successful hit.
Coven Casting (Sp): At 7th level, you can use the Aid Another action to increase the caster level of a spell one of your duplicates is casting by making a Spellcraft check with a DC of 20 + the level of the spell being cast. If you succeed, you increase the caster level of the spell by 2 + ½ your mirror mage level. One of your duplicates can benefit from a number of aiding duplicates equal to your Intelligence bonus.
Spider’s Web (Su): At 8th level, when you use your Duplicate ability, you can create a number of duplicates equal to your mirror mage level. As part of the full round action used to create your duplicates, you may sacrifice a prepared spell or available spell slot and reduce the number of negative levels each duplicate has by an amount equal to ½ the level of the spell sacrificed.
Army of One (Su): At 10th level, when you use your Duplicate ability, you can create a number of duplicates equal to your character level. As part of the full round action used to create your duplicates, you may sacrifice a prepared spell or available spell slot and reduce the number of negative levels each duplicate has by an amount equal to the level of the spell sacrificed.
Interesting class. Couple of things, though:
Great Ally (Ex): You learn how to work well with others, especially with your own duplicate. You gain a bonus equal to ½ your mirror mage level when using the Aid Another action; this bonus stacks with the bonus normally provided by the Aid Another action. You also add ½ your mirror mage level to your attack rolls and damage rolls when flanking an opponent.
Expert Flanker (Ex): At 5th level, when flanking an opponent, you add your mirror mage class levels to melee damage on a successful hit.
Does "Expert Flanker" replace the damage portion of "Great Ally," mentioned in the last sentence of the ability, or add to it?
Also, it seems like this character has kind of an emphasis on physical combat, what with the personal flanking bonuses and Teamwork feats. You may want to consider increasing BAB and HP and delaying Spellcasting Advancement.
Might it work better as a bard PrC? We could change the flavor of the duplicate abilities to Harmonize, Chord, Choir, etc.
Maybe make it for Bard 10s or Wizard 7/fighter 2s or rogue 3s? We could increase the Skill rank requirements to 10 ranks, and drop in a +6 or +7 BAB requirement.
