[h3]A warrior who dedicated his life to the mastery of a single weapon.[/h3]

Class differences aside, adventurers usually have some sort of preference for weapons. Some prefer the heavy greatsword, others prefer the fine, handy rapier or kukri, but few have an obsession with a certain kind of weapon to the extent of blade masters.

Blade masters focus their lifelong training on a single weapon (usually a sword), called favored weapon. Throughout his career, the blade master relentlessly seeks the mastery of the weapon, seeking to wield it without thought as any other limb, and ultimately to unite the weapon with the body, to make them one.

Although the blade master can choose any weapon as his favored weapon, he usually selects a weapon from the sword category. Compared to other weapons, swords with high critical rates are more suitable for the blade masters special abilities.

Base Classes: Most blade masters are fighters. Many of the blade masters class abilities are in the same vein as the fighters specific feats, and further perfected and sublimated. Characters of other combat classes can also benefit from this prestige class, but not as well suited as the fighter.

Role: The blade master is the sharpest sword of a party, tearing apart the enemys formation and cutting off their leaders head. Compared to other combat classes, the blade master focuses more on offense than defense.

Alignment: Blade masters can be of any alignment, but usually tend to be lawful, because the path to becoming a blade master requires strong concentration and self-discipline.

Non-adventurers: Blade masters rarely appear in public, and spend most of their time alone in secluded places honing their skills. However, do not be mistaken that they have no communication with the outside world, training behind closed doors is never a good way to practice martial arts. In fact, most blade masters come from professional academies that have extensive communication with all walks of life, and only a few are trained individually under the tutelage of an established blade master. In addition, many blade masters are also famous swordsmiths, and like to forge their favored weapons with their own hands.

[h3]Favored Weapon[/h3]
The blade master dedicated his life to the mastery of a single weapon (usually a sword), and his weapon related special abilities apply only when using that type of weapon.

Changed distance algorithm: from Euclidean Distance (1) to OGL 3.5 Distance (2), effects include:
- Diagonal range of movement and actions increased
- Threatened area of reach weapons increased
5-foot step can squeeze through enemies diagonally
Optimized area of Sweeping Strikes/Greater Sweeping Strikes with reach weapons
When attacking with weapons of different ranges, the attack range is based on the highest, ignoring out-of-range attacks when actually attacking
Encyclopedia: Movement, Position, and Distance

1. Euclidean Distance: The euclidean distance from a character (a) to a square (b) = sqrt((a.x - b.x) ^ 2 + (a.y - b.y) ^ 2).

2. OGL 3.5 Distance:
Horizontals and Verticals: Each horizontal or vertical counts as 1 square.

Diagonals: The first diagonal counts as 1 square, the second counts as 2 squares, the third counts as 1, the fourth as 2, and so on.

Exception: When measuring threatened squares of reach weapons, 2 squares of diagonal distance is measured as 2 squares.

Difficult Terrain: Each square of difficult terrain counts as 2 squares of movement. Each diagonal move into a difficult terrain square counts as 3 squares.


[h3]New Optional House Rules:[/h3]
Distance Algorithm: Euclidean Distance (unchecked: OGL 3.5 Distance)
Blade Master: Remove prerequisites: Mobility, Combat Expertise
Extreme Strike, Infinite Strike: daily uses continue to increase after level 10

Remove alignment restrictions of core/prestige classes -> merged to -> Remove alignment restrictions of classes
Remove alignment restrictions of classes: +2 bonus to enemy's attack rolls -> +1

[h3]Equally devoted to divine and arcane magic, the mystic theurge combines both magical traditions into one incredibly diverse class.[/h3]

Blurring the line between divine and arcane, mystic theurges draw power from divine sources and musty tomes alike. Mystic theurges place no boundaries on their magical abilities and find no irreconcilable paradox in devotion to the arcane as well as the divine. They seek magic in all of its forms, finding no reason or logic in denying themselves instruction by limiting their knowledge to one stifling paradigm, though many are simply hungry for limitless power. No matter what their motivations, mystic theurges believe that perception is reality, and through the divine forces and astral energies of the multiverse, that perception can be used to manipulate and control not only the nature of this reality, but destiny itself.

While most spellcasters choose one path to magical power, mystic theurges walk two roads at once, simultaneously mastering spells common to clerics and wizards. Mystic theurges have unparalleled diversity of spells. In time, a mystic theurge can cast almost all spells. While a mystic theurge doesn’t have the uninterrupted spell advancement that a cleric, wizard, or sorcerer has, he makes up for this with versatility.

Mystic theurges are drawn from multiclass spellcasters who can already cast both arcane and divine spells, and the powers that they gain increase their mastery over both.

Base Classes: Because a mystic theurge casts both arcane and divine spells, all members of this class are multiclass spellcasters. Cleric/sorcerers and cleric/wizards are the most common mystic theurges, with druid/sorcerers more rare and druid/wizards almost unheard of.

Role: The mystic theurge is a powerful component for any party, supplying magic for attack, defense, and healing. Mystic theurges travel the world in search of arcane and holy artifacts, magical lore, or divine revelations, and most have no qualms about teaming up with groups of adventurers so long as that groups goals do not directly conflict with their own.

Alignment: The motivations of a mystic theurge rarely stem from a sense of altruism or philanthropy, so most tend to be neutral, neutral good, or neutral evil. Lawful mystic theurges, whether good, neutral, or evil, are rarer, and often use their powers for either the benefit—or control—of society. Chaotic mystic theurges are rarer still, as the calling generally requires great personal discipline.

Non-adventurers: Mystic theurges are often obsessed with magical lore, traveling to the ends of the earth to learn some new arcane secret or divine insight. Mystic theurges tend to be fascinated with magic in whatever form it takes. They’re always on the hunt for powerful magic items and new arcane spells. Those mystic theurges who worship a deity use the power of their spellcasting to further their deity’s agenda.

[h3]Prerequisites:[/h3]
Skills: Knowledge (Arcana) 6 ranks, Knowledge (Religion) 6 ranks.
Spells: Ability to cast level-2 divine spells and level-2 arcane spells.

[h3]Class Features:[/h3]
Level Limit: 10.
Hit Dice: d4.
Base Attack Bonus: Poor.
Good Saves: Will.
Class Skills: Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Decipher Script (Int), Knowledge (arcana) (Int), Knowledge (religion) (Int), Profession (Wis), Sense Motive (Wis), and Spellcraft (Int).
Skill Points per Level: 2 + Int modifier.

Weapon Proficiency: None.
Armor Proficiency: None.

Bonus Feats: Gains an extra feat every 6 levels after 10th level (16, 22...).

Bonus Spellcasting Level: When leveling up this class, the effective spellcasting level of a spellcasting class is also increased.

When a new level of this prestige class is gained, the character gains new spells per day (and spells known, if applicable) as if he had also gained a level in a spellcasting class he belonged to before adding the prestige class. He does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained, except for an increased effective level of spellcasting.

This essentially means that he adds the level of the prestige class to the level of some other spellcasting class the character has, then determines spells per day, spells known, and caster level accordingly.

If a character had more than one spellcasting class before adding the prestige class, he must decide to which class he adds each level of the prestige class for the purpose of determining spells per day.

Special:
Mystic Theurge: applied on both a previous arcane spellcasting class and a previous divine spellcasting class.



[h3]This dark-furred creature raises a spiked morningstar, its tiny, milk-white eyes glittering with the thrill of the coming kill.[/h3]

The bugbear is the largest of the goblinoid races, a lumbering brute that stands at least a head taller than most humans.

Bugbears are cruel by nature and kill for fun. Humans are a bugbears favored prey, and most count the flesh of humanity as a dietary staple. Grisly trophies of ears or fingers are common bugbear decorations.

They are loners, preferring to live and kill on their own rather than form tribes of their own kind, yet it isnt uncommon to find small bands of bugbears working together. They prefer smaller-scale mayhem that lets them keep their favorite acts (murder and torture) on a more personal level.

[h3]Racial Traits:[/h3]
+4 Str, +2 Dex, +2 Con, –2 Cha: Bugbears are strong and healthy, but their cruel and killing nature is disgusting.

Racial Hit Dice: A bugbear begins with three levels of humanoid, which provide 3d8 Hit Dice.

Racial Skills: A bugbear’s humanoid levels give it skill points equal to 6 x (2 + Int modifier). Its class skills are Climb, Hide, Listen, Move Silently, Search, and Spot.

Racial Feats: A bugbear’s humanoid levels give it two feats.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Proficient with simple weapons, light armor, and shields.

Armor: +3 natural armor bonus.

Sneaky: +4 racial bonus on Move Silently checks.

Level Adjustment: +1. Powerful races with racial Hit Dice are more special.




[h3]Zen Martial[/h3]
When making melee attacks, you may use your Wisdom modifier instead of your Strength modifier on attack rolls.

[h3]Zen Maneuvers[/h3]
When using combat maneuvers, you may use your Wisdom modifier instead of your Strength modifier on combat maneuver checks. Likewise, you may use your Wisdom modifier instead of your Strength modifier or Dexterity modifier on your combat maneuver defense.

[h3]Brute Throw[/h3]
When making ranged attacks with a thrown weapon, you may use your Strength modifier instead of your Dexterity modifier on attack rolls.

[h3]Combat Expertise[/h3]
When you use the attack action or the full attack action in melee, you can take a penalty on your attack roll and add the same number as a dodge bonus to your Armor Class.

This number is up to 5 and may not exceed your base attack bonus.

The changes to attack rolls and Armor Class last until your next action.

Normal: A character without the Combat Expertise feat can fight defensively while using the attack or full attack action to take a –4 penalty on attack rolls and gain a +2 dodge bonus to Armor Class.

Improved Feint, Improved Trip, Whirlwind Attack: added Combat Expertise as a prerequisite


[h2]New Combat Options:[/h2]

[h3]Fighting Defensively[/h3]
You can choose to fight defensively when attacking. If you do so, you take a –4 penalty on all attacks in a round to gain a +2 dodge bonus to AC for the same round.

[h3]Casting on the Defensive[/h3]
Casting a spell while on the defensive does not provoke an attack of opportunity. It does, however, require a Concentration check (DC 15 + spell level) to pull off. Failure means that you lose the spell.

This also applies to using a spell-like ability or using a skill.

Adjusted Combat Casting: +4 bonus on AC against opportunity attacks provoked by casting. -> You get a +4 bonus on Concentration checks made to cast a spell or use a spell-like ability while on the defensive.
Fixed: Some mechanics that work on spells do not work correctly on spell-like abilities, such as Concentration checks and Combat Casting
Fixed: Some abilities are not treated as spell-like abilities

[h2]Next, we'll work on (rough list):[/h2]
Some prestige classes (details TBD), new player races (Lizard Scion, Gnoll), more feats and spells, etc.


Note: If you have any suggestions or feedback, please feel free to leave them in this announcement or send to [email protected] (attach your saves if necessary: game folder/saves).

Prestige classes represent specializations not available to most adventurers, the culmination of extensive practice in a specific field or discipline. Prestige classes allow characters to become truly exceptional, gaining powers beyond the ken of their peers.

Unlike the basic classes, characters must meet requirements before they can take their first level of a prestige class. Also, every prestige class has a level limit: 10-level or 5-level.

Before character level 20, a prestige class can be advanced up to its level limit.

After character level 20, a 10-level prestige class can be advanced beyond 10th level. However, a 5-level prestige class can never be advanced beyond 5th level.

Prestige classes offer a new form of multiclassing. Taking a prestige class does not incur the experience point penalties normally associated with multiclassing.


[h3]A master of defending territory and holding the line at all costs.[/h3]
The defender is a sponsored champion of a dwarven cause, a dwarf aristocrat, a dwarven deity, or the dwarven way of life. As the name might imply, this character is a skilled combatant trained in the arts of defense. A line of dwarven defenders is a far better defense than a 10-foot-thick wall of stone, and much more dangerous. When dwarven defenders set themselves in a defensive stance, they place their whole effort into weathering whatever foe, conflict, or threat comes their way.

Base Classes: Most dwarven defenders are fighters, paladins, rangers, or clerics, often those desiring to be better guards for friends and allies, although ex-barbarians, sorcerers, wizards, and druids can certainly all benefit from the defensive capabilities of this prestige class. Rogues, bards, and monks usually depend too heavily on mobility to use the abilities of the dwarven defender class to their fullest.

Role: Dwarven defenders are masters of melee combat, striving to prove that the best offense is a good defense. They are normally found on the front lines of battle, holding a position to cover their allies, leaping into breaches of opposing formations and holding them open for others, and guarding more vulnerable allies by acting as mobile fortifications, stable points in the ever-changing chaos of battle.

Alignment: Dwarven defenders can be as stubborn as a rock and dedicated to holding one point no matter the cost. A strong respect for order and organization is essential for learning the talents of a dwarven defender, so dwarven defenders are always lawful.

Non-adventurers: Dwarven defenders are usually soldiers in a dwarven citadel, segregated into their own units separate from regular warriors or fighters. Occasionally a lone, wandering dwarven defender can be encountered on some mission, although he usually guards his words so closely that it’s difficult to learn what his quest actually entails.


[h2]Class Special Abilities:[/h2]

[h3]AC Bonus[/h3]
The dwarven defender receives a dodge bonus to Armor Class that improves as the defender gains levels.

At 1st level, and every 3 levels thereafter (1, 4, 7...), this bonus increases by 1.


[h3]Defensive Stance[/h3]
When he adopts a defensive stance, a defender gains phenomenal strength and durability, but he cannot move from the spot he is defending.

He gains +2 to Strength, +4 to Constitution, a +2 resistance bonus on all saves, and a +4 dodge bonus to AC. (The increase in Constitution increases the defender’s hit points by 2 points per level, but these hit points go away at the end of the defensive stance when the Constitution score drops back 4 points. These extra hit points are not lost first the way temporary hit points are.)

While in a defensive stance, a defender cannot use skills or abilities that would require him to shift his position.

A defensive stance lasts for a number of rounds equal to 3 + the character’s (newly improved) Constitution modifier. A defender may end his defensive stance voluntarily prior to this limit. At the end of the defensive stance, the defender is winded and takes a –2 penalty to Strength for the duration of that encounter.

A defender can only use his defensive stance a certain number of times per day as determined by his level. At 1st level, and every 2 levels thereafter (1, 3, 5...), this number increases by 1.

Using the defensive stance takes no time itself, but a defender can only do so during his action.


[h3]Mobile Defense[/h3]
At 8th level, a dwarven defender can adjust his position while maintaining a defensive stance. While in a defensive stance, he can take one 5-foot step each round without losing the benefit of the stance.


[h3]Trap Sense[/h3]
The character gains an intuitive sense that alerts her to danger from traps, giving her a +1 bonus on Reflex saves made to avoid traps and a +1 dodge bonus to AC against attacks made by traps.

These bonuses rise with the class level. Trap sense bonuses gained from multiple classes stack.

Increases:
Barbarian, Rogue: Starting at 3rd level, rise by +1 every 3 class levels thereafter (3, 6, 9...).
Dwarven Defender: Starting at 4th level, rise by +1 every 4 class levels thereafter (4, 8, 12...).


[h3]Uncanny Dodge[/h3]
Retains Dex bonus to AC even flat-footed, except immobilized.

Special: When a character would gain uncanny dodge a second time (for her second class), she instead gains improved uncanny dodge, if she does not already have it.


[h3]Improved Uncanny Dodge[/h3]
You can no longer be flanked (so rogues cannot use flank attacks to sneak attack you), unless the attacker has at least 4 rogue levels higher than the sum of your class levels that gained uncanny dodge.


[h3]Damage Reduction[/h3]
A creature with this special quality ignores damage from most weapons and natural attacks. Wounds heal immediately, or the weapon bounces off harmlessly (in either case, the opponent knows the attack was ineffective), unless the attack is from a certain kind of weapon.

Description Format: The amount of damage ignored / the type of weapon that negates the ability.

Examples:
10/Magic: 10 damage ignored. A magic weapon overcomes the damage reduction.
5/Adamantine: 5 damage ignored. An adamantine weapon overcomes the damage reduction.
3/-: 3 damage ignored. No weapon negates the damage reduction.

Increases:
Barbarian: Starting at 7th level, rise by +1 every 3 class levels thereafter (7, 10, 13...).
Dwarven Defender: Starting at 6th level, rise by +1 every 4 class levels thereafter (6, 10, 14...).



[h2]New Optional House Rules:[/h2]
Trap Sense: +10 Max
Perfect Self: damage reduction points = monk level / 2 and cannot be overcome
Ranger: effective druid level = ranger level - 3 (unchecked: ranger level / 2)
Inspire Courage: +5 Max
AC Bonus: +6 Max
(+5 modifications of house rules for old saves)

[h2]Armor Class Increases:[/h2]
As a character's level increases, the character's Armor Class gains a corresponding level bonus.

Similar to average BAB, before 20th level, this level bonus is equal to 3/4 character level; after 20th level, +1 level bonus every odd-numbered level.

When Attack Bonus Increases is changed to character level / 2, this level bonus also changes to character level / 2.


[h2]Adjusted Power Attack:[/h2]
Trade extra melee attack bonus for damage.

If your melee attack bonus is higher than your opponent's AC, redundant part automatically converts to damage bonus (up to your base attack bonus).

If you attack with a two-handed weapon, or with a one-handed weapon wielded in two hands, or with sole primary natural weapon, this damage bonus is doubled. However, this damage bonus doesn’t apply to light weapons (except unarmed attacks or natural weapons).

[h2]Attack Bonus Increases:[/h2]
A character's attack bonus increases in different ways before and after 20th character level.

[h3]Base Attack Bonus (BAB):[/h3]
Before 20th level (including 20th), based on class or creature type, a character’s BAB is equal to his level (good as fighter), or 3/4 (average as cleric), or 1/2 (poor as wizard).

At 20th level, good BAB is equal to +20, average BAB is equal to +15, and poor BAB is equal to +10.
For a multiclass character, the BAB for each class are cumulative.

At BAB +6, +11 and +16, the character gains an extra attack each, but each extra attack has a BAB 5 lower than the previous one, and extra attacks are only for full attack actions.

[h3]At 20th level:[/h3]
