TEMPLAR

Templars are the minions of the sorcerer‐kings and can draw mystical energies from them. A templar dedicates himself to a particular sorcerer‐monarch and gains powers based on the sorcerer‐monarch chosen. They answer to their sorcerer-monarch and their own sense of justice alone, and are willing to take extreme measures to meet their goals.

Role: Templars are civil servants within a city‐state’s government organization commonly referred to as a “temple,” “bureau,” or “order.” Templars can cast a number of divine spells each day, as granted by their Sorcerer-Monarch. If necessary they can be a destructive fighting force, but they serve much better as officers of slave‐soldiers and mercenaries. In most city‐states, templars are the ultimate authority—judge, jury, and executioner. However, their wide array of available skills reflects the equally wide array of roles ranging from general to jailor and from tax collector to garbage collector.

Alignment: A templar’s alignment must be within one step of her sorcerer-monarch’s, along either the law/chaos axis or the good/evil axis.

Skill Ranks per Level: 6 + Int modifier.

Class Features

The following are class features of the templar.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Templars are proficient with all simple weapons, plus the crossbow, hand crossbow, longbow, shortbow, and the favored weapon of their Sorcerer-Monarch. They are also proficient with light armor, medium armor, and shields (except tower shields).

Spells: A templar casts divine spells drawn from the templar spell list (see below). She can cast any spell she knows at any time without preparing it ahead of time, assuming she has not yet used up her allotment of spells per day for the spell’s level.

To learn or cast a spell, a templar must have a Charisma score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a templar’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the templar’s Charisma modifier.

A templar can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level each day. Her base daily spell allotment is given in the table above.

In addition, she receives bonus spells per day if she has a high Charisma score (see Table 1–3 of the Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook).

A templar’s selection of spells is extremely limited. A templar begins play knowing four 0-level spells and two 1st-level spells of the templar’s choice. At each new templar level, she gains one or more new spells as indicated on table below. (Unlike spells per day, the number of spells an templar knows is not affected by her Charisma score. The numbers on the table below are fixed.)

Upon reaching 5th level, and at ever third templar level thereafter (8th, 11th, and so on), an templar can choose to learn a new spell in place of one she already knows. In effect, the templar “loses” the old spell in exchange for the new one. The new spell’s level must be the same as that of the spell being exchanged, and it must be at least one level lower than the highest-level templar spell she can cast. A templar may swap out only a single spell at any given level and must choose whether or not to swap the spell at the same time that she gains new spells known for the level.

Orisons: Templars learn a number of orisons, or 0-level spells, as noted on Table 6–2 under “Spells Known.” These spells are cast like any other spell, but they are not expended when cast and may be used again. Orisons prepared using other spell slots, such as those due to metamagic feats, are expended normally.

Domain: A templar’s sorcerer-monarch influences her alignment, what magic she can perform, and her values. Although not as tied to the tenets of the sorcerer-monarch as a cleric is to his element, a templar must still hold such guidelines in high regard, despite that fact she can go against them if it serves her purpose and advancement. A templar can select one domain from among those belonging to her sorcerer-monarch. A templar can select an alignment domain only if her alignment matches that domain.

Sorcerer-Monarch	City	Domains	Favored Weapon
Abalach-Re	Raam	Chaos, Charm, Knowledge, Madness, Trickery	Bard’s Garrote
Andropinis	Balic	Glory, Law, Nobility, Protection, Travel	Halberd
Hamanu	Urik	Destruction, Glory, Law, Strength, War	Longsword
Kalak	Tyr	Knowledge, Law, Madness, Magic, Trickery	Whip
Lalali-Puy	Gulg	Animal, Charm, Community, Plant, Repose	Net
Nibenay	Nibenay	Darkness, Knowledge, Magic, Rune, Trickery	Bard’s Friend
Tectuktilay	Draj	Chaos, Death, Destruction, Strength, War	Macahuitl

Each domain grants a number of domain powers, dependent on the level of the templar. A templar does not gain the bonus spells listed for each domain, nor does she gain bonus spell slots. The templar uses her level as her effective cleric level when determining the power and effect of her domain powers. If the templar has cleric levels, one of her two domain selections must be the same domain selected as a templar. Levels of cleric and templar stack for the purpose of determining domain powers and abilities, but not for bonus spells.

Judgment (Su): Starting at 1st level, a templar can pronounce judgment upon her foes as a swift action. Starting when the judgment is made, the templar receives a bonus or special ability based on the type of judgment made. The bonuses granted by the judgment continue to improve on following rounds, reaching a maximum bonus that lasts until the judgment ends.

At 1st level, a templar can use this ability once per day. At 4th level and every three levels thereafter, the templar can use this ability one additional time per day. Once activated, this ability lasts until the combat ends, at which point all of the bonuses immediately end. The templar must participate in the combat to gain these bonuses. If she is frightened, panicked, paralyzed, stunned, unconscious, or otherwise prevented from participating in the combat, the ability does not end, but all of the bonuses reset to those granted on the first round until she can participate in the combat again.

When the templar uses this ability, she must select one type of judgment to make. As a swift action, she can change this judgment to another type, but doing so resets the bonus granted to those granted on the first round.

Destruction: The templar is filled with divine wrath, gaining a +1 bonus on all weapon damage rolls. This bonus increases by +1 each round after the first, to a maximum of +3 on the third and following rounds. At 10th level, all of these bonuses are doubled (+2 on the first round, +4 on the second, and so on).

Healing: The templar is surrounded by a healing light, gaining fast healing 1. This causes the templar to heal 1 point of damage each round as long as the templar is alive and the judgment lasts. The amount of healing increases by 1 point of damage each round after the first, to a maximum of 3 points of damage on the third and following rounds. At 10th level, the amount of healing doubles (2 hp on the first round, 4 on the second, and so on).

Justice: The judgment spurs the templar to seek justice, granting a +1 bonus on all attack rolls. This bonus increases by +1 each round after the first, to a maximum of +3 on the third and following rounds. At 10th level, the bonus is doubled on all attack rolls made to confirm critical hits.

Piercing: The judgment gives the templar great focus and makes her spells more potent. This grants a +1 bonus on concentration checks and caster level checks made to overcome a target’s spell resistance. This bonus increases by +1 each round after the first to a maximum of +3 on the third and following rounds. At 10th level, all of these bonuses are doubled (+2 on the first round, +4 on the second, and so on).

Protection: The templar is surrounded by a protective aura, granting a +1 bonus to Armor Class. This bonus increases by +1 each round after the first, to a maximum of +3 on the third and following rounds. At 10th level, the bonus is doubled against attack rolls made to confirm critical hits against you.

Purity: The templar is protected from her foes, gaining a +1 bonus on all saving throws. This bonus increases by +1 each round after the first, to a maximum of +3 on the third and following rounds. At 10th level, the bonus is doubled against curses, diseases, and poisons.

Resiliency: The judgment makes the templar resistant to harm, granting DR 1/magic. This bonus increases to 2/magic on the second round, and 3/magic on the third and following rounds. At 10th level, this

DR changes from magic to an alignment (chaotic, evil, good, or lawful) that is opposite the templar’s. If she is Neutral, the templar does not receive this increase.

Resistance: The templar is shielded by a flickering aura, gaining 2 points of energy resistance against one energy type (acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic) chosen when the judgment is declared. The protection increases by 2 each round after the first, to a maximum of 6 on the third and following rounds. At 10th level, the amount of protection increases to 5 on the first round, plus an additional 5 each round thereafter, to a maximum of 15 on the third and following rounds.

Smiting: The judgment bathes the templar’s weapons in a divine light. This judgment provides no bonus on the first round. On the second round, the templar’s weapons count as magic for the purposes of bypassing damage reduction. On the third and following rounds, the templar’s weapons also count as one alignment type (chaotic, evil, good, or lawful) for the purpose of bypassing damage reduction. The type selected must match one of the templar’s alignments. If the templar is Neutral, she does not receive a bonus on the third round. At 10th level, on the third and following rounds, the templar’s weapons also count as adamantine for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction (but not for reducing hardness).

Stern Gaze (Ex): Templars are skilled at sensing deception and intimidating their foes. An templar receives a morale bonus on all Intimidate and Sense Motive checks equal to 1/2 her templar level (minimum +1).

Secular Authority: At level 1, a templar receives the Secular Authority as a bonus feat. Once per day per templar level, a templar can use her authority within her city‐state to order slaves to do her bidding, requisition troops, enter the homes of freemen and nobles, and have them arrested. This ability grants four new uses for the Diplomacy skill. None of them functions during combat.

Requisition: The templar can draw upon the resources of her city, gaining the use of any slave, overriding the wishes of its owner.

Intrude: The templar can, at any time, search the home, person or possessions of a slave. She may search and impound any evidence of wrongdoing, if found. Her authority does not extend to confiscating items for personal use.

Accuse: The templar may have a slave imprisoned indefinitely, awaiting the gathering of evidence against him. You may only imprison one suspect in such a manner.

Judge: The templar may pass judgment on a slave. This includes setting fines, prison sentences, death sentences or anything else she wishes, within the laws of her city‐state.

As a templar gains more ranks in the Diplomacy skill, she gains the authority to take these actions against progressively higher social rankings, as described on the table below.

Ranks	Ability
2	Requisition slave
3	Intrude on slave
4	Accuse slave
5	Requisition troops
6	Intrude on freeman
7	Judge slave
8	Accuse freeman
9	Requisition gear
10	Intrude on noble
11	Judge freeman
12	Accuse noble
13	Requisition spellcaster/manifester
14	Intrude on templar
15	Judge noble
16	Accuse templar
17	Requisition property
18+	Judge templar

Failure to comply with these demands is usually sanctioned with fines, imprisonment, outlaw status, and possibly execution. Any of the uses of this ability can be contested by another person with the Secular Authority ability, and move to have the action reversed with an opposed Diplomacy check. If the challenger wins the opposed roll, the defending templar’s action is reversed (for example an imprisoned freeman is set free). If the defender wins the opposed roll nothing happens. Secular Authority can be contested in a particular case only once. A defending templar who loses the opposed roll may not contest the result. Nor can she use Secular Authority to repeat the action that was contested against the same target. A templar receives a competence bonus to Secular Authority checks equal to half her class level.

Detect Alignment (Sp): At will, an templar can use detect chaos, detect evil, detect good, or detect law. She can only use one of these at any given time.

Sigil (Sp): Every templar also receives a sigil that is the sign of their rank and station as a templar within their city’s templarate. The form of the sigil is unique to each city‐state, but is always unmistakable for what it is. The sigil serves as the templar’s divine focus, and also allows her to use the spell‐like powers arcane mark, purify food and drink, and slave scent a combined total of times equal to 3 + the templar’s Cha modifier. These spell‐like powers do not count against her total of spells per day.

Solo Tactics (Ex): At 3rd level, all of the templar’s allies are treated as if they possess the same teamwork feats as the templar for the purpose of determining if the templar receives a bonus from her teamwork feats. Her allies do not receive any bonuses from these feats unless they actually possess the feats themselves. The allies’ positioning and actions must still meet the prerequisites listed in the teamwork feat for the templar to receive the listed bonus.

Teamwork Feat: At 3rd level, and every three levels thereafter, the templar gains a bonus feat in addition to those gained from normal advancement. These bonus feats must be selected from those listed as teamwork feats. The templar must meet the prerequisites of the selected bonus feat.

As a standard action, the templar can choose to learn a new bonus teamwork feat in place of the most recent teamwork feat she has already learned. In effect, the templar loses the bonus feat in exchange for the new one. She can only change the most recent teamwork feat gained. Whenever she gains a new teamwork feat, the previous teamwork feat becomes set and cannot be changed again. A templar can change her most recent teamwork feat a number of times per day equal to her Charisma modifier.

Bane (Su): At 5th level, a templar can imbue one of her weapons with the bane weapon special ability as a swift action. She must select one creature type when she uses this ability (and a subtype if the creature type selected is humanoid or outsider). Once selected, the type can be changed as a swift action. This ability only functions while the templar wields the weapon. If dropped or taken, the weapon resumes granting this ability if it is returned to the templar before the duration expires. This ability lasts for a number of rounds per day equal to the templar’s level. These rounds do not need to be consecutive.

Discern Lies (Sp): At 5th level, an templar can discern lies, as per the spell, for a number of rounds per day equal to her templar level. These rounds do not need to be consecutive. Activating this ability is an immediate action.

Second Judgment (Ex): At 8th level, whenever a templar uses her judgment ability, she selects two different judgments, instead of one. As a swift action, she can change one of these judgments, causing the bonuses from that judgment to reset to those granted on the first round.

Stalwart (Ex): At 11th level, a templar can use mental and physical resiliency to avoid certain attacks. If she makes a Fortitude or Will saving throw against an attack that has a reduced effect on a successful save, she instead avoids the effect entirely. This ability can only be used if the templar is wearing light armor, medium armor, or no armor. A helpless templar does not gain the benefit of the stalwart ability.

Greater Bane (Su): At 12th level, whenever the templar uses her bane ability, the amount of bonus damage dealt by the weapon against creatures of the selected type increases to 4d6.

Exploit Weakness (Ex): At 14th level, the templar learns to take advantage of any opportunity that presents itself. Whenever the templar scores a critical hit, she ignores any damage reduction the target might have. In addition, if the target has regeneration, the creature loses regeneration on the round following the critical hit and can die normally during that round (if the creature’s regeneration can be bypassed). Finally, if the templar deals energy damage to a creature with vulnerability to that energy type, she deals +1 point of damage per die rolled.

Third Judgment (Ex): At 16th level, whenever a templar uses her judgment ability, she selects three different judgments, instead of two. As a swift action, she can change one of these judgments, causing the bonuses from that judgment to reset to those granted on the first round.

Slayer (Ex): At 17th level, the templar learns to act quickly in combat. Whenever an templar uses her judgment ability, she can select one of her judgments—that judgment grants the maximum bonus from the first round of combat onward. If that judgment is changed during combat, it resets as normal.

True Judgment (Su): At 20th level, the templar can call true judgment down upon a foe during combat. Whenever an templar uses her judgment ability, and all of the judgments are granting the maximum bonus, the templar can invoke true judgment on a foe as a swift action. Once declared, the templar can make a single melee (or ranged attack, if the foe is within 30 feet) against the target. If the attack hits, it deals damage normally and the target must make a Fortitude save or die. The DC of this save is equal to 10 + 1/2 the templar’s level + the templar’s Charisma modifier.

Once the attack is made, all of the bonuses from the templar’s judgments reset to those granted on the first round (although the slayer judgment remains at the maximum bonus). Regardless of whether or not the save is made, the target creature is immune to the templar’s true judgment ability for 24 hours.

Chaotic, Evil, Good, and Lawful Spells: A templar can’t cast spells of an alignment opposed to her own or her sorcerer-monarch’s (if she has one). Spells associated with particular alignments are indicated by the chaotic, evil, good and lawful descriptors in their spell descriptions.

Ex-Templars

A templar who slips into corruption or changes to a prohibited alignment loses all spells and the judgment ability. She cannot threafter gain levels as a templar until she atones.

BARD

From the shadowy corners of Athas’ most disreputable places hails the bard. Athasian bards are the unquestioned masters of oral tradition and forgotten lore, but rather than sharing their lore with whoever will listen, Athasian bards guard their secrets as jealously as the sorcerer‐kings harbor their water and iron. Athasian bards may sell information to the highest bidder; they peddle their services and the fruits of their knowledge, but trade secrets are what give bards an edge on the uninitiated. Bards would rather die than reveal these secrets.

Role: Meeting a bard can be an uneasy encounter, since one never knows how the bard has chosen to devote his multiple talents. Some bards master the art of making poisons, and survive by selling these poisons and their antidotes for those who have coin to pay. Some bards master the art of entertainment, using their performances to amuse nobles and templars and gain wealth. Some become assassins, mixing their knowledge of poison and stealth to become hired hands. Bards’ unique position in the Athasian society means they often overhear conversations between high‐ranking templars or nobles, or they may have treated an injured person that prefers to remain anonymous. Respectable folk despise them; the powerful fear them; but in the Athasian cities, everyone eventually comes to need their services.

Alignment: Any.

Hit Die: d8.

Skill Ranks per Level: 6 + Int modifier.

Class Features

The following are class features of the Bard.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A bard is proficient with all simple weapons, plus the bard’s friend, crossbow (any), garrote, greater blowgun, rapier, shortbow, whip and widow’s knife. Bards are also proficient with light armor, but not shields.

Alchemy (Su): Bards are not only masters of creating mundane alchemical substances such as Alchemist’s fire and smokesticks, but also of fashioning magical potion-like extracts in which they can store spell-like effects. In effect, a Bard prepares his spells by mixing ingredients into a number of extracts, and then “casts” his spells by drinking the extract. When a Bard creates an extract, he infuses the concoction with a tiny fraction of his own energy—this enables the creation of powerful effects, but also binds the effects to the creator.

When using Craft (alchemy) to create an alchemical item, a Bard gains a competence bonus equal to his class level to the Craft (alchemy) check. In addition, a Bard can use Craft (alchemy) to identify potions as if using detect magic. He must hold the potion for one round to make such a check.

In many ways, extracts behave like spells in potion form, and as such their effects can be dispelled by effects like dispel magic using the Bard’s level as the caster level. Unlike potions, though, extracts can have powerful effects and duplicate spells that a potion normally could not.

A Bard can create only a certain number of extracts of each level per day. His base daily allotment of extracts is given on the table above. In addition, he receives bonus extracts per day if he has a high Intelligence score, in the same way a wizard receives bonus spells per day.

When a Bard mixes an extract, he infuses the chemicals and reagents in the extract with energy from his own aura. An extract immediately becomes inert if it leaves the Bard’s possession, reactivating as soon as it returns to his keeping—a Bard cannot pass out his extracts for allies to use. An extract, once created, remains potent for 1 day before becoming inert, so a Bard must re-prepare his extracts every day. Mixing an extract takes 1 minute of work—most Bards prepare many extracts at the start of the day or just before going on an adventure, but it’s not uncommon for a Bard to keep some (or even all) of his daily extract slots open so that he can prepare extracts in the field as needed.

Although Bards don’t actually cast spells, they do have a formulae list that determines what extracts they can create. A Bard can utilize spelltrigger items if the spell appears on his formuale list, but not spell-completion items (unless he uses Use Magic Device to do so). An extract is “cast” by drinking it, as if imbibing a potion—the effects of an extract exactly duplicate the spell upon which its formula is based, save that the spell always affects only the drinking Bard. The Bard uses his level as the caster level to determine any effect based on caster level.

Creating extracts consumes raw materials, but the cost of these materials is insignificant—comparable to the valueless material components of most spells. If a spell normally has a costly material component, that component is expended during the consumption of that particular extract. Extracts cannot be made from spells that have focus requirements (Bard extracts that duplicate divine spells never have a divine focus requirement).

A Bard can prepare an extract of any formula he knows. To learn or use an extract, a Bard must have an Intelligence score equal to at least 10 + the extract’s level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a Bard’s extract is 10 + the extract level + the Bard’s Intelligence modifier.

A Bard may know any number of formulae. He stores his formulae in a special tome called a formula book. He must refer to this book whenever he prepares an extract but not when he consumes it. A Bard begins play with two 1st-level formulae of his choice, plus a number of additional formulae equal to his Intelligence modifier. At each new Bard

level, he gains one new formula of any level that he can create. A Bard can also add formulae to his book just like a wizard adds spells to his spellbook, using the same costs and time requirements. A Bard can study a wizard’s spellbook to learn any formula that is equivalent to a spell the spellbook contains. A wizard, however, cannot learn spells from a formula book.

Bardic Knowledge (Ex): A bard adds half his class level (minimum 1) to all Knowledge skill checks and may make all Knowledge skill checks untrained.

Bardic Performance: A bard is trained to use the Perform skill to create exceptional effects on those around him, including himself if desired. He can use this ability for a number of rounds per day equal to 4 + his Charisma modifier. At each level after 1st a bard can use bardic performance for 2 additional rounds per day. Each round, the bard can produce any one of the types of bardic performance that he has mastered, as indicated by his level.

Starting a bardic performance is a standard action, but it can be maintained each round as a free action. Changing a bardic performance from one effect to another requires the bard to stop the previous performance and start a new one as a standard action. A bardic performance cannot be disrupted, but it ends immediately if the bard is killed, paralyzed, stunned, knocked unconscious, or otherwise prevented from taking a free action to maintain it each round. A bard cannot have more than one bardic performance in effect at one time.

At 7th level, a bard can start a bardic performance as a move action instead of a standard action. At 13th level, a bard can start a bardic performance as a swift action.

Each bardic performance has audible components, visual components, or both.

If a bardic performance has audible components, the targets must be able to hear the bard for the performance to have any effect, and such performances are language dependent. A deaf bard has a 20% chance to fail when attempting to use a bardic performance with an audible component. If he fails this check, the attempt still counts against his daily limit. Deaf creatures are immune to bardic performances with audible components.

If a bardic performance has a visual component, the targets must have line of sight to the bard for the performance to have any effect. A blind bard has a 50% chance to fail when attempting to use a bardic performance with a visual component. If he fails this check, the attempt still counts against his daily limit. Blind creatures are immune to bardic performances with visual components.

Countersong (Su): At 1st level, a bard learns to counter magic effects that depend on sound (but not spells that have verbal components). Each round of the countersong he makes a Perform (keyboard, percussion, wind, string, or sing) skill check. Any creature within 30 feet of the bard (including the bard himself ) that is affected by a sonic or language-dependent magical attack may use the bard’s

Perform check result in place of its saving throw if, after the saving throw is rolled, the Perform check result proves to be higher. If a creature within range of the countersong is already under the effect of a noninstantaneous sonic or language-dependent magical attack, it gains another saving throw against the effect each round it hears the countersong, but it must use the bard’s Perform skill check result for the save. Countersong does not work on effects that don’t allow saves. Countersong relies on audible components.

Distraction (Su): At 1st level, a bard can use his performance to counter magic effects that depend on sight. Each round of the distraction, he makes a Perform (act, comedy, dance, or oratory) skill check. Any creature within 30 feet of the bard (including the bard himself ) that is affected by an illusion (pattern) or illusion (figment) magical attack may use the bard’s Perform check result in place of its saving throw if, after the saving throw is rolled, the Perform skill check proves to be higher. If a creature within range of the distraction is already under the effect of a noninstantaneous illusion (pattern) or illusion (figment) magical attack, it gains another saving throw against the effect each round it sees the distraction, but it must use the bard’s Perform skill check result for the save. Distraction does not work on effects that don’t allow saves. Distraction relies on visual components.

Fascinate (Su): At 1st level, a bard can use his performance to cause one or more creatures to become fascinated with him. Each creature to be fascinated must be within 90 feet, able to see and hear the bard, and capable of paying attention to him. The bard must also be able to see the creatures affected. The distraction of a nearby combat or other dangers prevents this ability from working. For every three levels the bard has attained beyond 1st, he can target one additional creature with this ability.

Each creature within range receives a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 the bard’s level + the bard’s Cha modifier) to negate the effect. If a creature’s saving throw succeeds, the bard cannot attempt to fascinate that creature again for 24 hours. If its saving throw fails, the creature sits quietly and observes the performance for as long as the bard continues to maintain it. While fascinated, a target takes a –4 penalty on all skill checks made as reactions, such as Perception checks. Any potential threat to the target allows the target to make a new saving throw against the effect. Any obvious threat, such as someone drawing a weapon, casting a spell, or aiming a weapon at the target, automatically breaks the effect.

Fascinate is an enchantment (compulsion), mindaffecting ability. Fascinate relies on audible and visual components in order to function.

Suggestion (Sp): A bard of 6th level or higher can use his performance to make a suggestion (as per the spell) to a creature he has already fascinated (see above). Using this ability does not disrupt the fascinate effect, but it does require a standard action to activate (in addition to the free action to continue the fascinate effect). A bard can use this ability more than once against an individual creature during an individual performance.

Making a suggestion does not count against a bard’s daily use of bardic performance. A Will saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 the bard’s level + the bard’s Cha modifier) negates the effect. This ability affects only a single creature. Suggestion is an enchantment (compulsion), mind affecting, languagedependent ability and relies on audible components.

Soothing Performance (Su): A bard of 12th level or higher can use his performance to create an effect equivalent to a mass cure serious wounds, using the bard’s level as the caster level. In addition, this performance removes the fatigued, sickened, and shaken conditions from all those affected. Using this ability requires 4 rounds of continuous performance, and the targets must be able to see and hear the bard throughout the performance. Soothing performance affects all targets that remain within 30 feet throughout the performance. Soothing performance relies on audible and visual components.

Mass Suggestion (Sp): This ability functions just like suggestion, but allows a bard of 18th level or higher to make a suggestion simultaneously to any number of creatures that he has already fascinated. Mass suggestion is an enchantment (compulsion), mind-affecting, language dependent ability that relies on audible components.

Deadly Performance (Su): A bard of 20th level or higher can use his performance to cause one enemy to die from joy or sorrow. To be affected, the target must be able to see and hear the bard perform for 1 full round and be within 30 feet. The target receives a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 the bard’s level + the bard’s Cha modifier) to negate the effect. If a creature’s saving throw succeeds, the target is staggered for 1d4 rounds, and the bard cannot use deadly performance on that creature again for 24 hours. If a creature’s saving throw fails, it dies. Deadly performance is a mind-affecting death effect that relies on audible and visual components.

Smuggler: A bard adds half his class level (minimum 1) to all Bluff and Sleight of Hand checks.

Poison Resistance (Ex): At 2nd level, a Bard gains a +2 bonus on all saving throws against poison. This bonus increases to +4 at 5th level, and then again to +6 at 8th level. At 10th level, a Bard becomes completely immune to poison.

Poison Use (Ex): Bards are trained in the use of poison and starting at 2nd level, cannot accidentally poison themselves when applying poison to a weapon.

Well-Versed (Ex): At 2nd level, the Bard becomes resistant to the bardic performance of others, and to sonic effects in general. The bard gains a +4 bonus on saving throws made against bardic performance, sonic, and language dependent effects.

Identify Poison (Ex): At 3rd level, a Bard can safely identify any poison through an appropriate method (smell, taste, alchemical test) without risking harm.

Swift Alchemy (Ex): At 3rd level, a Bard can create alchemical items with astounding speed. It takes a Bard half the normal amount of time to create alchemical items, and he can apply poison to a weapon as a move-equivalent action.

Trade Secrets: As a Bard gains experience, he learns a number of trade secrets that aid him and confound his foes. Starting at 4th level, a Bard gains one Trade Secret. He gains an additional Trade Secret at 8th, 12th and 16th level. Unless otherwise indicated, a Bard cannot select an individual Trade Secret more than once.

Alchemy Dealer: A Bard with this Trade Secret pays one‐half of the market price for raw materials needed to craft alchemical items.

Combat Trick: A Bard that selects this Trade Secret gains a bonus Combat Feat.

Coolheaded: This ability allows the Bard to take 10 on all Bluff and Diplomacy checks.

Improvised Materials: A Bard with this Trade Secret can craft poisons from raw materials at hand instead of relying on specific ingredients. Doing so increases the Craft (poisonmaking) check DC by 5 but otherwise has no effect on the poisonʹs potency.

Infusion: When a Bard with this ability creates an extract, he can infuse it with an extra bit of his own power. The extract created now persists even after the Bard sets it down. As long as the extract exists, it continues to occupy one of the Bard’s daily extract slots. An infused extract can be imbibed by a non-Bard to gain its effects.

Poison Dealer: A Bard with this Trade Secret pays one‐half of the market price for raw materials needed to craft poisons.

Poisonbane: A Bard that selects this Trade Secret receives a +4 insight bonus to Craft (alchemy) checks when creating antitoxin and poison antidotes.

Scorpion’s Touch: Whenever a Bard with this ability applies a poison, the poison’s save DC increases by +1. This trade secret may be chosen more than once, and its effects stack.

Smokestick Application: A Bard with this ability can combine inhaled poisons with smokesticks. All creatures within the area the smokestick covers (10‐ft. cube) are affected by the poison the Bard applied to the smokestick.

Sticky poison: Any poison the Bard creates is sticky—when the Bard applies it to a weapon, the weapon remains poisoned for a number of strikes equal to the Bard’s Intelligence modifier. A Bard must be at least 8th level before selecting this Trade Secret.

Weapon Training: A Bard that selects this Trade Secret gains Weapon Focus as a bonus feat.

Lore Master (Ex): At 5th level, the bard becomes a master of lore and can take 10 on any Knowledge skill check that he has ranks in. A bard can choose not to take 10 and can instead roll normally. In addition, once per day, the bard can take 20 on any Knowledge skill check as a standard action. He can use this ability one additional time per day for every six levels he possesses beyond 5th, to a maximum of three times per day at 17th level.

Swift Poisoning: At 6th level, a Bard can apply a dose of poison to a weapon as a swift action.

Extend Poison (Ex): At 7th level, a Bard can alter the onset time of any poison he manufactures by up to one hour. This can be applied to either or both primary and secondary damage. This increases the poison’s base price by 25%.

Empower Poison (Ex): At 9th level, a Bard can alter the strength of any poison with numeric variables that he manufactures. All variable, numeric effects of an empowered poison can be increased (or decreased) by one‐half. This can be applied to either or both primary and secondary damage. Empower poison increases a poison’s base price by 50%.

Jack-of-All-Trades (Ex): At 10th level, the bard can use any skill, even if the skill normally requires him to be trained. At 16th level, the bard considers all skills to be class skills. At 19th level, the bard can take 10 on any skill check, even if it is not normally allowed.

Slippery Mind: This ability represents the rogue’s ability to wriggle free from magical effects that would otherwise control or compel her. If a rogue with slippery mind is affected by an enchantment spell or effect and fails her saving throw, she can attempt it again 1 round later at the same DC. She gets only this one extra chance to succeed on her saving throw.

Maximize Poison (Ex): At 13th level, a Bard can maximize the strength of any poison with numeric variables that he manufactures. For example, a poison that inflicts 2d6 Str damage inflicts 12 points of Str damage. Maximize poison increases a poison’s base price by 75%.

Defensive Roll: At 14th level the Bard can roll with a potentially lethal blow to take less damage from it than he otherwise would. Once per day, when he would be reduced to 0 or fewer hit points by damage in combat (from a weapon. or other blow, not a spell or special ability), the Bard can attempt to roll with the damage. To use this ability, the Bard must attempt a Reflex saving throw (DC = damage dealt). If the save succeeds, he takes only half damage from the blow; if it fails, he takes full damage. He must be aware of the attack and able to react to it in order to execute his defensive roll—if he is denied his Dexterity bonus to AC, he can’t use this ability. Since this effect would not normally allow a character to make a Reflex save for half damage, the evasion ability does not apply to the defensive roll.

Quicken Poison (Ex): At 15th level, a Bard can reduce the time between a poison’s initial and secondary damage of any poison he manufactures from 1 minute to 1 round. Quicken poison increases a poison’s base price by 100%.

Awareness (Ex): At 17th level, a Bard is never caught flat‐footed and always act in the surprise round.

Instant Alchemy (Ex): At 18th level, a Bard can create alchemical items with almost supernatural speed. He can create any alchemical item as a full-round action if he succeeds at the Craft (alchemy) check and has the appropriate resources at hand to fund the creation. He can apply poison to a weapon as an immediate action.

Mind Blank (Ex): At 19th level, a Bard’s mind becomes completely sealed against involuntary intrusion as per the mindblank spell. This spell‐like ability is always considered active.

Skill Ranks per Level: 4 + Int modifier.

Class Features

The following are the class features of the Gladiator.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Gladiators are proficient with all simple and martial weapons, light armor, medium armor and shields (except tower shields).

Challenge (Ex): Once per day, a Gladiator can challenge a foe to combat. As a swift action, the Gladiator chooses one target within sight to challenge. The Gladiator’s melee attacks deal extra damage whenever the attacks are made against the target of his challenge. This extra damage is equal to the Gladiator’s level. The Gladiator can use this ability once per day at 1st level, plus one additional time per day for every three levels beyond 1st, to a maximum of seven times per day at 19th level.

In addition, whenever a Gladiator issues a challenge, he receives a +1 morale bonus on all melee damage rolls made against the target of his challenge as long as he is the only creature threatening the target. This bonus increases by +1 for every four levels the Gladiator possesses.

Challenging a foe requires much of the Gladiator’s concentration. The Gladiator takes a –2 penalty to his Armor Class, except against attacks made by the target of his challenge.

The challenge remains in effect until the target is dead or unconscious or until the combat ends.

Arena Guile: A Gladiator adds 1/2 his Gladiator level (rounded up) as a bonus to all Bluff and Sense Motive checks that relate directly to melee combat.

Mercy: A Gladiator suffers no penalty to attack rolls when attacking with a weapon to inflict nonlethal damage.

Stern Resolve: A Gladiator adds his Charisma modifier to the DC on attempts to demoralize him through Intimidate (in addition to his Wisdom modifier, as normal).

Tactician (Ex): At 1st level, a Gladiator receives a teamwork feat as a bonus feat. He must meet the prerequisites for this feat. As a standard action, the Gladiator can grant this feat to all allies within 30 feet who can see and hear him. Allies retain the use of this bonus feat for 3 rounds plus 1 round for every two levels the Gladiator possesses. The Gladiator can use this ability once per day at 1st level, plus one additional time per day at 5th level and for every 5 levels thereafter.

Improved Feint: At 2nd level, a Gladiator gains the Improved Feint feat.

Martial Display: At 2nd level, a Gladiator can spend a standard action to extol his own accomplishments and battle prowess. He recieves Dazzling Display as a bonus feat. The Gladiator receives a +2 morale bonus on melee attack rolls made against demoralized targets.

Aid Allies (Ex): At 3rd level, whenever a Gladiator uses the aid another action to assist one of his allies, the ally receives a +3 bonus to his Armor Class, attack roll, saving throw, or skill check. At 8^th level, and every six levels thereafter, this bonus increases by an additional +1.

No Mercy: At 4th level, A Gladiator can perform a coup de grace as a standard action rather than a full‐round action.

Combat Reflexes: At 5th level, a Gladiator gains the Combat Reflexes feat.

Greater Feint: At 6th level, a Gladiator gains the Greater Feint feat.

Steal Glory (Ex): At 8th level, a Gladiator can steal the glory from another creature’s successful strike. Whenever a creature, other than the Gladiator, scores a critical hit against a target that the Gladiator is threatening, he can make an attack of opportunity against the same target.

Greater Tactician (Ex): At 9th level, a Gladiator receives an additional teamwork feat as a bonus feat. He must meet the prerequisites for this feat. The Gladiator can grant this feat to his allies using the tactician ability. Using the tactician ability is now a swift action.

Strategy (Ex): At 11th level, the Gladiator can spend a standard action to grant one of a number of bonuses to all allies within 30 feet (including himself). The allies must be able to see or hear the Gladiator to receive this bonus. The Gladiator can grant a +2 dodge bonus to AC for 1 round, a +2 morale bonus on all attack rolls for 1 round, or the ability to move up to their speed as an immediate action once. The Gladiator can grant a different bonus to each ally within range, but allies can only benefit from this ability once per combat.

Demanding Challenge (Ex): At 12th level, whenever a Gladiator declares a challenge, his target must pay attention to the threat he poses. As long as the target is within the threatened area of the Gladiator, it takes a –2 penalty to its AC from attacks made by anyone other than the Gladiator.

Parry (Ex): At 12th level, a Gladiator learns to parry the attacks of other creatures, causing them to miss. Whenever the Gladiator takes a full attack action, he can elect not to take one of his attacks. At any time before his next turn, he can attempt to parry an attack against him or an adjacent ally as an immediate action. To parry the attack, the gladiator makes an attack roll, using the same bonuses as the attack he chose to forego during his previous action. If his attack roll is greater than the roll of the attacking creature, the attack automatically misses. For each size category that the attacking creature is larger than the gladiator, the
gladiator takes a –4 penalty on his attack roll. The gladiator also takes a –4 penalty when attempting to parry an attack made against an adjacent ally. The gladiator must declare the use of this ability after the attack is announced, but before the roll is made.

Riposte (Ex): At 14th level, a Gladiator can make an attack of opportunity against any creature whose attack he successfully parries, so long as the creature he is attacking is within reach.

Moment of Triumph (Ex): At 15th level, the Gladiator can, as a free action, declare a moment of triumph. For 1 round, the Gladiator receives a competence bonus equal to his Charisma modifier on all ability checks, attack rolls, damage rolls, saving throws, and skill checks. This bonus is also added to his AC. In addition, any critical threats he makes are automatically confirmed. The Gladiator can use this ability once per day.

Master Tactician (Ex): At 17th level, the Gladiator receives an additional teamwork feat as a bonus feat. He must meet the prerequisites for this feat. The Gladiator can grant this feat to his allies using the tactician ability. Whenever the Gladiator uses the tactician ability, he grants any two teamwork feats that he knows. He can select from any of his teamwork feats, not just his bonus feats.

Crippling Critical (Ex): Starting at 18 level, when a gladiator confirms a critical hit he can apply one of the following penalties in addition to the damage dealt: reduce all of the target’s speeds by 10 feet (minimum 5 feet), 1d4 points of Strength or Dexterity damage, –4 penalty on all saving throws, –4 penalty to Armor Class, or 2d6 points of bleed damage. These penalties last for 1 minute, except for ability damage, which must be healed normally, and bleed damage, which continues until the target receives magic healing or a DC 15 Heal skill check.

Champion’s Fury (Ex): A gladiator of 20th level can enter a trance‐like state as a standard action in which his full offensive gladiatorial potential is unleashed. In this state, he becomes immune to fear effects, receives a +4 competence bonus to attack rolls and damage rolls, and an additional attack per round made at his highest base attack bonus. In addition, he gains two temporary hit points per class level. Champion’s fury lasts for 10 rounds. A gladiator can enter this trance once per day plus his Charisma bonus modifier.
