I have been working on an idea for a arcane warrior called the Raider. They gain spells at the same rate as rangers, but their spells are arcane and focused on treasure hunting. I am trying to come up with a valid choice for a group's 5th or 6th team member. He makes for a good warrior, and skill monkey, and can be the groups face if that is needed.
I really like the treasure sense ability. I have played in games where adventures would not search areas because they were worried about monsters or traps. The treasure sense ability allows players to judge for themselves, "should I risk it?", even before they know what the treasure is.
BAB: Fast
Fort: Good
Ref: Poor
Will: Poor
Class Skills
The raider’s class skills are Appraise (Int), Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Disable Device (Dex), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge (arcana) (Int), Knowledge (dungeoneering) (Int), Knowledge (history) (Int), Knowledge (local) (Int), Linguistics (Int), Perception (Wis), Profession (Wis), Spellcraft (Int), Swim (Str), and Use Magic Device (Cha).
Skill Ranks per Level: 4 + Int modifier.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A raider is proficient with all simple and martial weapons and with light and medium armor. They are not proficient with any shields. A raider can cast raider spells while wearing light armor and medium armor without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance. Like any other arcane spellcaster, a raider wearing heavy armor incurs a chance of arcane spell failure if the spell in question has a somatic component. A multiclass raider still incurs the normal arcane spell failure chance for arcane spells received from other classes.
Treasure Lore (Ex): At 1st level a raider gains a competence bonus equal to half their level in the raider class (minimum + 1) on Appraise, and Knowledge checks in regards to treasures. The raider can make all Knowledge skill checks against any DC in regards to treasure lore even if they are not trained in that skill.
Treasure Sense (Ex): At 1st level a raider gains the ability to detect the presence of treasure at will. This sense is not visual, it is a feeling that causes the raiders mind to get excited, causing them to experience slight shaking, hair standing on end, becoming flushed, or stuttering when they talk while sensing nearby treasures. This ability works like detect evil except it detects gold piece value as shown below using the Treasure Values per Encounter table from the Core Rulebook. Use the raiders level in place of the Average Party Level on the table when using this ability. This ability does not detect living or undead creatures as treasure. Constructs can be detected, but they are not exposed as constructs by this ability. Building structures (such as walls and floors) do not detect as treasure. The raider’s own gear does not count for sensing treasure, however other people’s gear does so the raider should avoid using this ability on team members.
Faint = 6 levels lower than the raiders level.
Moderate = 5 to 4 level lower than the raider’s level.
Strong = 3 or 2 levels lower than the raider’s level.
Overwhelming = 1 level lower than the raider’s level or higher.
Any time the raider senses an overwhelming presence of treasure they must make a will save with a DC equal to 10 + the level of the treasure. Failure means the raider is dazed for one round. Magical artifacts automatically cause this effect unless the raider rolls a natural 20 on the save.
Pocket Dimension (Su): At 2nd level, the raider gains a permanent extra dimensional storage space to store his treasures. Items stored in this way are stored on the ethereal plane. The pocket dimension can only hold 10 pounds / level in the raider class. Storing an item is a standard action, and it provokes an attack of opportunity. Storing a items in the pocket dimension cost one point from the raider’s reserve bank. When the raider spends, this point he can place up to the maximum amount of weight his pocket dimension can hold. Retrieving items from the pocket dimension is a standard action that provokes attacks of opportunity, but it does not cost anything from the raider’s reserves.
Raider’s Reserves (Su): At 2nd level, the raider gains a reservoir of arcane energy that he can draw upon to fuel his powers. A raider’s reserves have points equal to 1/2 his raider level (minimum 1) + his Intelligence modifier. A raider’s reserves refresh once per day after the raider has meditated for 1 hour.
Skill Master (Ex): At 3rd level a raider becomes a master in one selected skill. For the skill chosen the raider gains a bonus equal to ½ his raider level. At 10th level, and again at 16th level the raider selects an additional skill to master.
Raider Talents (Ex or Su): Starting at 3rd level, a raider gains one raider talent. He gains an additional raider talent for every 4 levels of raider attained after 3rd level. A raider cannot select an individual talent more than once. Many of the talents require the raider to use their raider reserves.
Instant Shield (Su): As an immediate action the raider can create a magical barrier that grants a + 2 shield bonus to a target’s armor class. This bonus increases by + 1 for every four levels of raider the character has. The target must be within 25 ft. plus 5 ft. per every two levels of raider (the raider may target himself). The shield remains with the target until the start of the raider’s next turn. This talent requires a point from the reserves.
Artificer’s Touch (Sp): You can cast mending at will, based on your caster level to repair damaged objects. In addition, you can cause damage to objects and construct creatures by striking them with a melee touch attack. Objects and constructs take 1d6 points of damage + 1 for every two raider levels you possess. This attack bypasses damage reduction and hardness equal to ½ your raider level. This talent requires a point from the reserves.
Conjured Weapon (Su): As a move action the raider can create a weapon to meet his need. The weapon created must be one the raider is proficient with. The weapon created is of masterwork quality and is treated as magic for overcoming damage resistance, As the raider’s increases in level the weapon picks up other qualities. At 6th level the weapon when created is made of cold iron or mithral at the raider’s choice. At 12th level the weapon can be made of adamantine or it can overcome damage resistance against alignment (the raider’s alignment type must match one part of the raider’s alignment). At 18th level the weapon is treated as epic against damage resistance. This weapon cannot be permanently enchanted, but spells can be cast to improve the weapon. The conjured weapon last for one minute per raider level. This talent requires a point from the reserve bank.
Dimensional Step (Sp): You can teleport up to 5 feet per raider level as a move action. This teleportation does not provoke attacks of opportunity. You must have line of sight to your destination to use this ability. You can bring other willing creatures with you, but you must expend an equal amount of distance for each creature brought. The raider must be 11th level to choose this ability. This talent requires a point from the reserves.
Disrupt Magic (Sp): As a standard action, you can use dispel magic as a touch attack. Use your raider level to determine effects of this ability as per the dispel magic spell. The raider must be 7th level to choose this talent.
Elemental Enchantment (Su): As a move action the raider can cause a weapon he is holding to gain an aura of elemental energy. This aura causes + 1d6+ 1 per every 2 levels of raider damage of the type of energy chosen. If used on a ranged weapon this ability effects the weapons ammunition. The type of energy is chosen from the following list when the raider learns this ability. Acid, Cold, Electric, Fire, Sonic. This talent requires a point from the reserve bank. A raider can choose this talent multiple times each it is chosen a different energy type must be chosen. This talent requires a point from the reserves.
Energy Orb (Su): As a standard action the raider can throw an energy orb at close range (as a spell) at a target as a range touch attack. The orb inflicts 1d4+ 1 per every 2 levels of raider. The type of energy is chosen from the following list when the raider learns this ability. Acid, Cold, Electric, Fire, Sonic. This talent requires a point from the reserve bank. A raider can choose this talent multiple times each it is chosen a different energy type must be chosen. This talent requires a point from the reserves.
Evil Eye (Su): The raider can cause doubt to creep into the mind of a foe within 30 feet that he can see. The target takes a – 2 penalty on one of the following (raider’s choice): AC, ability checks, attack rolls, saving throws, or skill checks. This talent lasts for several rounds equal to 3 + the raider’s Intelligence modifier. A Will save reduces this to just 1 round. This is a mind-affecting effect. At 8th level the penalty increases to – 4. This talent requires a point from the reserves.
Extend Magic (Su): The raider can cast spells as if it were modified by the Extend Spell feat. This does not increase the casting time or the level of the spell. The talent requires a point from the reserves.
Familiar (Ex): The raider gains a familiar, using his raider level as his effective wizard level. This familiar follows the rules for familiars presented in the arcane bond wizard class feature.
Follow Clues (Ex): A raider with this talent can use Perception to follow tracks as per the Survival skill. This talent requires a point from the reserves. This ability remains active for one hour once activated.
Fortify Self (Su): As an immediate action the raider can fortify themselves against damage. When a critical hit or sneak attack is scored on the wearer, there is a chance that the critical hit or sneak attack is negated and damage is instead rolled normally. At 3rd level the chance is 25%, at 10th level the chance is 50%, and at 17th level the chance is 75%. This talent requires a point from the reserves.
Mass Withdraw (Su): As a swift action a raider may withdraw any item the raider has placed in his pocket dimension that can be held in the raider’s hand (ex. a weapon, a gem, a cloak) He can not use this ability to withdraw an item if it would place him above the medium load category. Using this ability does not provoke attacks of opportunity. This talent requires a point from the reserves.
My Own Master (Ex): As a swift action, a raider’s can try to wriggle free from magical effects that would otherwise control or compel him. If a raider with my own master is affected by an enchantment spell or effect and fails his saving throw, he can attempt it again 1 round later at the same DC. He can use this ability each round he desires to do so. This talent requires a point from the reserves.
Physical Enhancement (Su): As a standard action the raider can grant himself an enhancement bonus to one of his physical ability scores (Str, Dex, or Con). This enhancement last for one minute. At 3rd level the enhancement is a + 2 to any ability score. At 6th level the bonus is + 3, at 9th level the bonus is + 4 at 12th level the bonus is + 5, and at 15th level the enhancement is + 6, this is the maximum increase for this talent. This talent requires a point from the reserves.
Quick Disable (Ex): It takes a raider with this ability half the normal amount of time to disable a trap using the Disable Device skill (minimum 1 round). When he uses Disable Device to open a lock that would normally take a full-round action to open, he reduces the duration to a standard action. This talent requires a point from the reserves. This ability remains active for one hour once activated.
Quick Shot (Ex): Whenever the raider rolls initiative, he can also make a single attack with a ranged weapon as a swift action. He can use this ability only if he has a weapon in hand and it is loaded (if applicable). This attack does not provoke an attack of opportunity. This talent requires a point from the reserves.
Shadow Trap (Su): As a standard action, you can command shadows to come to life. You cause shadows to grapple a target that is within your sight. You attempt a grapple check using your intelligence modifier instead of your strength modifier against the target. You can drag, damage (damage is non-lethal and equal to your unarmed attack), or pin a target with this ability. You cannot affect a creature in bright light with this ability. The raider must be 7th level to choose this talent. This talent requires a point from the reserves.
Silent Magic (Su): The raider can cast spells as if it were modified by the Silent Spell feat. This does not increase the casting time or the level of the spell. The talent requires a point from the reserves.
Silver Tongue (Su): As a swift action, you can gain a + 3 moral bonus to any Charisma ability check or skill check the is modified by Charisma. This bonus increases by + 1 for every three levels you have in the raider class beyond 3rd level. (+ 4 at 6th level, + 5 at 9th level, …). This talent requires a point from the reserves.
Still Magic (Su): The raider can cast spells as if it were modified by the Still Spell feat. This does not increase the casting time or the level of the spell. The talent requires a point from the reserves.
Spell Recall (Su): The raider learns to pull an additional spell from his spell book to cast. This spell does not have to be one the raider has prepared, but it must be recorded in his spell book or on a scroll that he has and would be able to cast. This talent requires one point per spell level of the spell that the raider wants to cast.
Tongues (Su): A raider with this talent can understand any spoken language for a number of minutes per day equal to his level, as comprehend languages. At 7th level, a raider can use this ability to speak any language, as per tongues. This talent requires a point from the reserves.
Trap Spotter (Ex): Whenever a raider with this talent comes within 10 feet of a trap, he receives an immediate Perception skill check to notice the trap. This check should be made in secret by the GM. This talent requires a point from the reserves. This ability remains active for one hour once activated.
Danger Sense (Ex): At 3rd level, a raider gains a + 1 bonus on Reflex saves to avoid traps and a + 1 dodge bonus to AC against attacks made by traps. In addition, she gains a + 1 bonus on Perception checks to avoid being surprised by a foe. These bonuses increase by 1 every 3 raider levels thereafter (to a maximum of + 6 at 18th level). This ability counts as trap sense for the purpose of any feat or class prerequisite, and can be replaced by any archetype class feature that replaces trap sense. The bonuses gained from this ability stack with those gained from trap sense (from another class).
Spells (Sp): Beginning at 4th level, a raider gains the ability to cast a small number of arcane spells, which are drawn from the raider spell list. A raider must choose and prepare his spells in advance.
To prepare or cast a spell, a raider must have a Intelligence score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a raider’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the raider’s Intelligence modifier.
Like other spellcasters, a raider can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. His base daily spell allotment is given on the table above. In addition, he receives bonus spells per day if he has a high Intelligence score. When the table indicates that the raider gets 0 spells per day of a given spell level, he gains only the bonus spells he would be entitled to base on his Intelligence score for that spell level.
A raider must spend 1 hour per day in quiet meditation to regain his daily allotment of spells. A raider may prepare and cast any spell from his spellbook, if he can cast spells of that level, but he must choose which spells to prepare during his daily meditation.
Through 3rd level, a raider has no caster level (unless they have arcane cross training). At 4th level and higher, his caster level is equal to his raider level – 3.
Spellbooks: A raider must study his spellbook each day to prepare his spells. Around 4th level a raider begins to keep a spellbook containing two 1st-level raider spells of his choice. The raider also selects some additional 1st-level raider spells equal to his Intelligence modifier to add to his spellbook. At each new raider level above 4th level, he gains one new raider spell of any spell level or levels that he can cast (based on his new raider level) for his spellbook. At any time, a raider can also add spells found in other spellbooks to his own
Treasure Master (Su): At 20th level a raider learns how to create a demi-plane hide-away. Treat the demi-plane as a Create Demiplane spell made permanent. He can open a portal as a full round action against a vertical flat surface. This location must be prepared for the portal by a ritual that takes 10 hours, but after that the portal can be opened as a full round action. The portal stays open as long as the raider maintains concentration allowing travel of as many as he wishes. no creature larger than size huge may pass through the portal. The raider also gains plane shift as a spell-like ability usable three times per day. Any plane the raider is on is treated as his home plane.

I'm not a fan of the class. The primary class feature (Treasure Sense) feels way too metagamey. It's never a good sign when a class feature requires a player to look up a campaign-specific table in the Gamemastering chapter.
Skill Master feels too strong to me because you can pick any skill. Not every skill is appropriate to let you add 1/2 your level to. Most skill monkey classes only have one such ability. You give this multiple times ontop of the other abilities that increase
The talent pool has a hodge podge of abilities that don't really have any cohesion with the theme of the class. Many of the talents really erk me. You give out Evil Eye - an iconic class feature to the witch - when it doesn't make any sense mechanically or thematically why this class would have this ability. Disrupt Magic is essentially an at-will dispel magic. You give the Quick Shot unchained rogue advanced talent 7 levels before a rogue can learn it.
The spell list is also all over the place.
And finally, the class doesn't have enough class features. It has only one or two unique "meh" abilities and the rest is either feats, spells, or talents stolen from other classes.
Cyrad thank you for your feedback. I have a few more ideas about how to get treasure sense to work. It is a little meta-game, but so is detect evil for the paladin, but it fits with the champion of good theme.
The Skill Master ability that I wrote originally only had one of three skills. Disable Device, Intimidate, or Use Magic Device. These three skills represent three different styles of treasure hunting, in my mind. I may go back to this or something along those lines.
I was trying to pack the talent pool, but I see what you mean with most of the talents I packed together. I think it would be better to trim it back.
Thanks again for the ideas on how to improve this.

I think this works better as a rogue archetype.
Just make the treasure sense ability work like a rod of metal and mineral detection. Done.

I like the concept, which I think I told you before if this is a rewrite of your previous work like I think it is. Building the concept can be tough. I know it is for me.
Saves
I feel like Reflex should be good, since that is assocaited with traps. Fortitude maybe, just depends.
BAB
I feel this could do better as medium BAB, because then you would have more room for skills and class features.
Skills
For me, Indiana Jones could be an inspiration. Someone with a purpose, rather than a kick in the door tomb robber. You could make room for multiple concepts though. Some exploration/movement skills are important (Climb, swim, stealth), as are knowledge skills, but I also feel that Bluff or Diplomacy could be more helpful than Intimidate. Intimidate tends to draw attention. 6 skill points might even be appropriate.
Treasure Lore
I assume this is a version of bardic knowledge? Again, I like the concept, but the wording could use clarifying.
Treasure Sense
I agree with Amanuensis. Although, the possibility of being dazed for a round is amusing. :)
Pocket Dimension
I like it, but I think it is gained too early. Maybe an earlier version of this can be to snatch or stow valuables as a swift action, or to get certain pieces of gear as a swift action.
Raider's Reserves
I think this should start at 1st level, and that it should do more than power the pocket dimension. It could power treasure sense, and maybe some ability to take 10 with treasure lore when you hold an object or are adjacent to it. Some combat perk would be nice too. Not sure what though.
Skill Master
It too open ended. First of all, it shouldn't stack with treasure lore. Second of all, you could always just scrap it and come up with something else since you already have a +1/2 level feature.
Raider's Talents
I agree with Cyrad that these are pretty all over the place. Maybe think of a few characters from literature, cinema, etc for inspiration and what some of their special talents are. Also, a talent every four levels is not enough, considering how thin the rest fo the class is. I suggest every 2-3 levels depending on how potent they end up being.

I agree with Amanuensis. I recommend creating an archetype for either the rogue, investigator, or ranger. You don't have enough here to fill out a whole class. Classes are the hardest thing to design in this game and require a large scope and solid game mechanics to hold it up.
an investigator that trades out all the poison-related features for something related to treasure hunting would work well.
I thank everyone for their advice with my idea for an arcane warrior. I agree that the idea was better as an archetype rather than a full class. I have redone the it as an archetype of the ranger. I have posted the newest version of the raider below. I felt the rod of metal and mineral detection was to powerful at low levels of play, so I used the Miser's Mask magic item as a start for the treasure sense, which turned out to still have interesting play-ability IMO.
Role: Raiders study battle, history, and magic to give them the tools they need to gain fame and treasure. They are strong combatants, but are also good at researching information, and finding treasure. They are weak spellcasters, using simple magics (mostly conjuration and divination) to aid in discovering treasures.
Class Skills
The raider gains the follow skills; Appraise, Disable Device, Knowledge (arcana), Knowledge (history), Linguistics, and Use Magic Device. Raiders do not have the Handle Animal, Heal, Knowledge (geography), Knowledge (nature), and Survival skills.
Treasure Lore (Ex): At 1st level a raider gains a competence bonus equal to half their level in the raider class (minimum + 1) on Appraise, and Knowledge checks in regards to treasures. The raider can make all Knowledge skill checks against any DC in regards to treasure lore even if they are not trained in that skill. This ability replaces wild empathy.
Treasure Sense (Ex): At 1st level a raider gains the ability to sense the presence of treasure. This ability works like the scent ability except raiders can only pick up on coins and gems. This ability replaces track.
Trapfinding (Ex): At 3rd level the raider can find and disable traps as the rogue class feature of the same name. This ability replaces endurance.
Spells: Beginning at 4th level, a raider gains the ability to cast a small number of arcane spells, which are drawn from the raider spell list presented below. A raider must choose and prepare his spells in advance. To prepare or cast a spell, a raider must have an Intelligence score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a raider's spell is 10 + the spell level + the raider's Intelligence modifier.
Like other spell casters, a raider can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. His base daily spell allotment is given on Table: Ranger. In addition, he receives bonus spells per day if he has a high Intelligence score. When Table: Ranger indicates that the ranger gets 0 spells per day of a given spell level, the raider gains only the bonus spells he would be entitled to base on his Intelligence score for that spell level.
A raider must spend 1 hour per day his spell book to regain his daily allotment of spells. A raider may prepare and cast any spell he has in his spell book, if he can cast spells of that level, but he must choose which spells to prepare from his spell book.
Through 3rd level, a raider has no caster level. At 4th level and higher, his caster level is equal to his raider level – 3.
Spellbooks: A raider must study his spellbook each day to prepare his spells. He cannot prepare any spell not recorded in his spellbook. A raider must perchance a spell book to record his spells. The magus leans a number equal to his Intelligence modifier at 4th level to scribe into his spell book. At each new raider level after 4th level, he gains one new raider spells of any spell level or levels that he can cast (based on his new raider level) for his spell book. At any time, a raider can also add spells found in other spell books to his own.
A raider can learn spells from a wizard's spellbook, just as a wizard can from a raider's spell book. The spells learned must be on the raider spell list, as normal. An alchemist can learn formulae from a raider's spell book, if the spells are also on the alchemist spell list. A raider cannot learn spells from an alchemist.
Dimensional Pocket (Su): At 7th level the raider can place an item into a small dimensional storage space as a standard action. The raider can store up to 10 lbs. per level in this storage space. The raider may retrieve any of the items stored in this space as a move action. This ability replaces woodland stride.
Improved Treasure Sense (Ex): At 8th level, the raider’s treasure sense now also detects trade goods not just coins and gems. This includes magic items, but this ability does not reveal that the item is magical. This ability replaces swift tracker.
Quick Pocket (Su): At 11th level the raider can now store items in his dimensional pocket as a move action and retrieve items as swift actions. This ability replaces quarry.
Swift Pocket (Su): At 19th level the raider can now store items in his dimensional pocket as a swift action. This ability replaces improved quarry.
Privet Island (Sp): At 20th level the raider’s pocket dimension changes into a demiplane as the Create Demiplane spell. The raider also gains the ability to planeshift once per day to his demiplane or back to the plane he traveled from to enter his demiplane. He may bring others with him when he travels as per the planeshift spell. This ability replaces master hunter.
