Vine leshy archetypes and class features

The following archetypes and class features are available to vine leshys, as well as to other characters with the leshy subtype. Leshys can also take the treesinger друид archetype (Pathfinder RPG Advanced Race Проводник 25) even though they are not эльфы. The leshy subДомен is available to non-leshy друидs as well as жрецs who worship a deity that grants it.

 

Herbalist (Алхимик Archetype)

Vine leshys who study the physical and spiritual composition of their own bodies have discovered a strange herbal Алхимия all their own.

Herbalism (Св): An herbalist’s studies allow him a unique method of creating alchemical Открытия. He can attempt Профессия (травник) checks in place of Ремесло (алхимик) checks for all purposes, and he gains a мастерство bonus equal to half his алхимик level on Профессия (травник) checks to create alchemical items and to foЯрость for and process herbs (see page 152). An herbalist uses his Мудрость score instead of his Intelligence score for all алхимик class abilities.

This alters Алхимия and the алхимик’s key ability score.

Естественная Magic: An herbalist’s study of the leshy spirit grants him access to естественная Магия that eludes other алхимикs. Each Время he gains access to a new level of extracts (including 1st level), he can add two spells from that круг заклинания on the друид spell list to his алхимик class spell list; these spells must target a creature or creatures or have a range of “you,” and he must still add them to his formula

22

book as normal before he can prepare them. As always, the extracts affect the drinker as if she were the target, so offensive touch spells are a nasty trap for the drinker.

This replaces Универсальный Метатель.

Seedpods (Св): An herbalist can produce and throw seedpods as ranged touch attacks, similar to the ranged attacks of other leshys. He can create a number of seedpods each Дня equal to his алхимик level + his Мудрость modifier and can throw them as a основное действие with a range increment of 20 feet. A seedpod deals 1d6 points of bludgeoning damage, plus an additional 1d6 points of damage at 3rd level and every 2 levels thereafter (this additional damage isn’t multiplied on a critical hit or from effects like Жестокий Удар). Seedpods are considered Оружие and can be selected for черты like Уверенное Владение Оружием, and the herbalist can take the Extra Bombs черта to gain additional daily uses of his seedpods. His seedpods also gain one of the following additional effects unless the target succeeds at a Стойкость save (DC = 10 + half the herbalist’s алхимик level + his Мудрость modifier). At 1st level, his seedpods can deafen their target for 1 round like a leaf leshy. At 2nd level, they can reduce the target’s Видение to 10 feet for 1 minute (unless the target spends a действие полного хода to wПраха the spores from its eyes early) like the spores of a fungus leshy. At 5th level, they can Опутывание their target for 2d4 rounds (unless the target succeeds at a Сила check or Изворотливость check at the save DC to Сломать the vine early) like the seeds of a gourd leshy. At 8th level, they can sicken their target for 1d4 rounds like the spittle of a полетtrap leshy. At 10th level, they can blind their target until the end of their next turn like the Вода jets of a seaweed leshy.

This replaces bombs, Специалист По Ядам, Отрава сопротивляемость, and Иммунитет К Ядам.

 

Сфера Растений Speaker (Бард Archetype)

Сфера Растений speakers build upon their народ plantspeech ability and their storytelling tendencies to create an Искуство form full of deep metaphors and allegory rather than specific details and facts.

Выступление барда: Сфера Растений speakers gain the following выступление барда.

Leshy Speaker (Св): At 9th level, the Сфера Растений speaker can speak to its disembodied brethren, the Приведение of Природа that become leshys. He выступлениеs for 10 minutes and spends 7 rounds of выступление барда to gain the effects of Единение С Природой.

This replaces Боевое Вдохновение.

Сфера Растений Speech: A Сфера Растений speaker’s Разум бард spells and class abilities also affect plants, ignoring plants’ Иммунитет to Разум effects. At 2nd level, a Сфера Растений speaker’s народ plantspeech allows him to communicate with all plants, not just plants that match his alternate form.

This replaces Эрудиция Барда and Музыкальный Слух.

Mystical Allegory (Св): At 5th level, the Сфера Растений speaker can tell a story that matches some of the themes of the current situation in Орден to gain интуитивный, gaining the effects of Предвидение by исполнение for 1 minute and spending 4 rounds of выступление барда. At 11th level, he can выступление for 10 minutes and spend 7 rounds of выступление барда to gain the effects of Прорицание. At 17th level, he can выступление for 1 hour and spend 10 rounds of выступление барда to gain the effects of Знание Легенд, but the information is always vague and incomplete.

This replaces Хранитель Знаний.

You have a strong connection to these little manifestations of Природа spirits.

Associated Domain: Plant.

Associated Religions: Gozreh, Green Faith*.

Replacement Power: The following granted power replaces the Деревянный Кулак power of the Сфера Растений.

nature’s ally VII. If you do, you must Использование the spell to summon one or more leshys.

As a основное действие, you can grant a single leshy within 30 feet a +4 священный bonus on its next attack roll before the start of your next turn. You can Использование this ability a number of times per Дня equal to 3 + your Мудрость modifier.

Replacement Домен Spells: 1st— Облик Дерева, 5th— Единение С Природой.

 

Leshykineticist (Kineticist Archetype)

Of all those who pursue the path of a kineticist, only leshykineticists are both made of Сфера Растений matter and born of Природа spirits.

These curious creatures wield ancient powers unknown to any other kineticists.

Leshy Element: A leshykineticist must select the Дерево element (see page 58) as her primary element and for both her expanded elements. She must choose Дерево blast as her first simple blast and positive blast as her second simple blast. At 6th level, she gains green tongue as a bonus utility wild talent, ignoring its Предпосылки. At 7th level, when she first gains positive blast, she gains kinetic лечениеer and the photokinetic Насыщение instead of the extra wild talent of 3rd level or lower for expanding in the same element. Her kinetic лечениеer wild talent restores 1 extra hit point per die when healing Сфера Растений creatures. At 9th level, she gains an extra wild talent of 3rd level or lower of her choice. At 10th level, she gains greater green tongue as a bonus utility wild talent, ignoring its Предпосылки.

This alters element and expanded element, and replaces the 6th- and 10th-level utility wild talents and maximize metakinesis.

Basic Leshykinesis (Св): A vine leshy leshykineticist can Использование her basic phytokinesis to move while in her alternate vine form, with a base быстрое of 10 feet and a лазание быстрое of 10 feet. The vine counts as a prehensile appendage for the purpose of aiming kinetic blasts and gathering power. At the GM’s discretion, this ability might apply to leshykineticists of other leshy varieties as long as their alternate forms aren’t Корень ed to the ground (and even then, they might be able to Использование something like a branch to aim kinetic blasts).

This alters basic phytokinesis.

Photosynthetic Buffer: A leshykineticist fills her buffer with energy photosynthesized from sunlight, rather than from internal energy. Once per day, she can spend 1 hour motionless in her alternate Сфера Растений form soaking in sunlight to fill her internal buffer. However, she can’t fill her internal buffer by accepting burn, and her internal buffer becomes empty whenever her burn is removed. She can’t benefit from any abilities that increase the maximum burn her buffer can hold.

This alters internal buffer.

Green Возрождение (Св): At 20th level, a leshykineticist taps into the ancient power of the First World. When her verdant Взрыв ability activates, it лечениеs all allies and Сфера Растений creatures in the area as if by a maximized version of her kinetic лечениеer ability, rather than only 1d8 пункты здоровья. After 24 hours, one of the plants that grew in the area serves as a vessel for the leshykineticist’s spirit again, allowing her to return to Жизнь without penalty. Killing all the new plants that grew from her verdant Взрыв within 24 hours prevents her from reviving in this way.

This replaces omnikinesis.

 

Photokinetic Infusion

(Kineticist Насыщение Wild Talent)

Leshykineticists learn the following Насыщение automatically, but phytokineticists (see page 58) of all races can select it as a infusion.

 

PHOTOKINETIC INFUSION                                          

Element wood; Type substance infusion; Level 1; Burn 1

Prerequisite positive blast Associated Blasts positive Saving Throw none

Your blast damages living creatures with Свет. This deals normal damage to нежить creatures but also deals minimum damage (1 point of damage per d6, can’t be increased by the 9th-level improvement to metakinesis) to living creatures. Нежить creatures that are particularly vulnerable to sunlight, such as vampires, take 1 extra point of damage per die from the infused blast.

You call out to nearby Природа Приведение and grant them temporary Сфера Растений bodies. These creatures are similar to leshys, except they are Маленький and far more simpleminded.

The leshy swarm has Ночное Зрение with a range of 60 feet and is immune to Электричество, Разум effects, paralysis, Яд, Полиморф, Сон effects, sonic, and stunning.

You can direct the leshy swarm to move up to its быстрое along a path for your choice by spending a основное действие to communicate your desires through the spell, or by spending a действие движения if you can speak to creatures that understand only Друидic and Sylvan. The leshys are замешательство by their sudden possession of new bodies and assume that nearly any creature you direct them toward is a threat. They attack all creatures within their area except for you and other creatures with the Сфера Растений type.

Shifter

Whether riding on the Ветер as a falcon or hiding in some fetid bog waiting to strike, the shifter is a true master of the wild. Both a devoted defender of друидic circles and a fierce predator, the shifter can take on the forms of Природа and even fИспользование them together with devastating Эффект and unbridled savagery. By way of the друидic discipЛиния of Природный Облик, they become living aspects of the wild. At first, they are able to assume only a minor aspect, but with Время and practЛьда they can fully transform into ever more powerful forms.

The shifter class offers players a way to experience a shapeshifting character that is more martially inclined than a spellcasting друид. With each new level, the shifter’s powers grow in new and surprising ways, creating a character that thrives in battle, Исследование, and скрытность.

Shifters are protectors of друидic circles and avengers of nature, yet a shifter’s Магия is different from that of her друидic kin. Rather than invoking spells from the естественная броня world or forging alliances with animals, shifters focus their superестественная броня powers inОпекун to gain control over their own forms. Their ability to change their forms is as varied as the wonders of the wilds themselves but always remains at least partially Корень ed in the естественная броня world. There are many paths to becoming a shifter; most are trained in that role by друидic circles and have their powers unlocked via rituals of initiation. Yet some stumble upon the gift естественная броняly, as if their Крови bore the Секреты of shifter Преобразование.

For those leaning toward the causes of law and good, the pathof theshifterisoneof contemplationandunderstanding. They become one with Природа through mental and physical mimicry and gain an ever deeper spiritual understanding of the ebb and flow of the естественная броня world. Those leaning toward the Хаос and Зло teachings of друидic philosophy find such enСветenment through more violent means. These are typically quicker Преобразованиеs, both Бесчеловечное and painful, imparting the dark lessons of Природа through its most catastrophic forms. Shifters who lean toward true neutrality are the most diverse when it comes to their Приказ of metamorphic secrets.

Role: The shifter is so attuned to Природа and the wild beasts of the world that she can call upon those powers to mystically fortify her being. Fluid in form and function, she can shПримат herself to overcome hardships and support those she befriends or serves.

Alignment: Any neutral.

Кость Здоровья: d10.

Starting Wealth: 3d6�10 gp (Average 105 gp).

 

CLASS SKILLS

The shifter’s class Навыки are Акробатics (Лвк), Лазание (Сил), Ремесло (Инт), Полет (Лвк), Дрессировка (Хар), Знание (природа) (Инт), Внимание (Мдр), Профессия (Мдр), Верховая езда (Лвк), Скрытность (Лвк), Выживание (Мдр), and Плавание (Сил).

Skill Ranks per Level: 4 + Int modifier.

 

CLASS FEATURES

The following are the class features of the shifter.

Ношение Брони И Обращение С Оружием: A shifter is proficient with the following weapons: club, dagger, dart, quarterstaff, scimitar, scythe, sickle, shortspear, sling, and spear. She is also proficient with the естественная броня attacks (claw, bite, and so forth) from the shifter Когти class feature and of forms she assumes with Природный Облик.

Shifters are proficient with Свет and Средняя Броня but are prohibited from wearing Металл armor. A shifter can wear wooden armor that has been altered by the ironДерево spell so that it functions as if it were steel. Shifters are proficient with щитs (except tower щитs) but must Использование only those ремеслоed from wood.

A shifter who wears prohibited armor or uses a prohibited щит is unable to Использование her shifter aspect, shifter claws, Природный Облик, and other shifter superестественная броня or spell-like abilities while doing so and for 24 hours thereafter.

Дополнительные языки s: A shifter’s дополнительные языки  options include Sylvan, the Языка of woodland creatures, and Aklo, the tongue spoken by certain sinister Фея or otherworldly denizens of reaches of the wild rarely explored by humanity. These choices are in addition to the дополнительные языки s available to the character because of her race.

A shifter speaks Друидic, a secret Языка known only to друидs and shifters, which she learns upon becoming a 1st- level shifter. Друидic is a free Языка for a shifter; that is, she knows it in addition to her regular allotment of Языки, and it doesn’t take up a Языка slot. Shifters are forbidden to teach this Языка to non-друидs or non-shifters.

Shifter Аспект (Св): At 1st level, a shifter gains her first aspect—a category of Сфера Животных to which her body and soul have become superестественная броняly attuned. She can Сдвиг into her aspect’s minor form (see Aspects on page 28) for a number of minutes per Дня equal to 3 + her shifter level. The duration need not be consecutive but must be spent in 1-minute increments. Shifting into a minor form is a быстрое действие, while ending the Эффект is a свободное действие that can be taken only on the shifter’s turn. Until a shifter reaches 9th level and gains the chimeric Аспект class feature, she can assume only one minor form at a time. Shifting to a new Аспект (or aspects, in the case of chimeric aspects or greater chimeric aspects) ends all minor forms currently manifested. The minor forms of aspects are not Полиморф effects, and the shifter does not lose the benefits of a minor form while affected by Полиморф effects.

As the shifter gains levels, she gains more aspects; she gains her second Аспект at 5th level, a third Аспект at 10th level, and a fourth at 15th level. Aspects are detailed in their own section starting on page 28.

Shifter Когти (Св): At воля, a shifter in her естественная броня form can extend her Когти as a быстрое действие to Использование as a weapon. This magical Преобразование is fueled as much by the shifter’s faith in the естественная броня world as it is by inborn talent. The Когти on each hand can be used as a primary естественная броня attack, dealing 1d4 points of Проницательность and slashing damage (1d3 if she is Небольшой). If she uses one of her claw attacks in concert with a weapon held in the other hand, the claw acts as a secondary естественная броня attack instead.

As the shifter gains levels, the power of her Когти increases. At 3rd level, her Когти ignore DR/Холод iron and DR/silver. At 7th level, her claw damage increases to 1d6 (1d4 if Небольшой). At 11th level, her claw damage increases to 1d8 (1d6 if Небольшой). At 13th level, her claw damage increases to 1d10 (1d8 if Небольшой). At 17th level, the damage die does not increase, but the critical multiplier becomes ×3. Lastly, at 19th level, the Когти ignore DR/adamantine and DR/—.

While a shifter uses Природный Облик to assume her aspect’s major form, her естественная броня attacks gain the same benefits granted by her shifter Когти ability. If the form she takes has claw attacks, she can Использование either the base damage of her shifter Когти or the damage of the form’s claws, whichever is greater. If the form does not have claw attacks, she can choose up to two естественная броня attacks that would deal less damage than her shifter claw damage and have those attacks instead deal the same damage as her shifter claws.

Понимание Животных (Экс): A shifter can improve the attitude of an animal. This ability functions as a Дипломатия check to improve the attitude of a person (Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook 93). The shifter rolls 1d20 and adds her shifter level and Модификатор Харизмы to determine the Понимание Животных check result. The typical domestic Сфера Животных has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild Животные are usually unfriendly.

To Использование Понимание Животных, the shifter and the Сфера Животных must be within 30 feet of one another and under normal conditions. Generally, influencing an Сфера Животных in this way takes 1 minute but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time.

The shifter can also Использование this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but she takes a –4 penalty on the check.

Defensive Instinct (Экс): At 2nd level, when unarmored, not using a щит, unencumbered, and conscious, the shifter adds her Бонус Мудрости (if any) to her AC and CMD. If she is wearing nonМеталл armor or using a nonМеталл щит, she instead adds half her Бонус Мудрости to her AC (minimum 0). In addition, the shifter gains a +1 bonus to her AC and CMD at 4th level. This bonus increases by 1 for every 4 shifter levels thereafter (up to a maximum of +5 at 20^th level).

These bonuses to AC apply even against touch attacks and when the shifter is flat- footed. She loses these bonuses when she is immobilized or беспомощьность. These bonuses do not stack with the монах AC bonus class feature.

Выслеживание (Экс): At 2nd level, a shifter adds half her level as a bonus on Выживание checks to follow tracks.

Woodland Stride (Экс): At 3rd level, a shifter can move through any sort of undergrowth (such as briars, естественная броня thorns, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at her normal быстрое and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment. Briars, thorns, and overgrown areas that are enchanted or magically manipulated to impede motion still affect the shifter.

Природный Облик (Св): At 4th level, a shifter gains the ability to turn herself into the major form of one of her aspects and back again once per day. This ability functions as beast shПримат II, except as noted here. The shifter can turn into the major form of only one of her aspects at a time. The Эффект lasts for 1 hour per shifter level or until she changes back. Using Природный Облик to change to a major form or back is a основное действие that doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunity. Often a particular aspect’s major form grants abilities beyond the normal Эффект of beast shПримат II. Each major form details the abilities the shifter gains with that major form and at what level; she gains these instead of the form abilities from beast shПримат II, but she still gains beast shПримат II abilities that are размер dependent.
