In Quint Elf there is a template for elves that ascend to a more fey like, and attain a higher level of being. The template I found a little powerful with the magic it offered so I through them out. I cut it down to three levels and need your opinions if this is enobugh. It might be a little on the weak side.

Ascended

Level 1: Awe Inspiring Presence, Nightvision 120ft, Immunity (Death Attacks, Disease, Mind Effecting Powers, Poison), +2 Dex, +2 Int, +2 Cha, +1 Will Saves, +2 any 3 crafts, +2 Knowledge Arcana, +2 Perform
Level 2: Natural Armor +2, +4 Wis, +2 Con, +2 Cha, +1 Will Saves, +2 crafts (same as above), +4 Concentration, +4 Spellcraft
Level 3: +2 Int, +2 Con, +4 Cha, +2 Will Saves, +4 crafts (same as above), +2 Knowledge Arcana, +2 Perform

The idea is an elf getting back her fey hertiage. I'm thinking that some of the skill bonuses don't fit that well and IU'm unsure why they are part of the template.

First of all, what does awe inspiring presence do? is nightvision the same or similar to lowlight vision or darkvision?

Why not just give them fey hd during these levels?


Fey d6 BAB 1/2 (as wizard) Good: Ref, Will Skills: 6 + Int mod per HD

Make up your on skill list to reflect the above skills
Level 1: Fey HD, +2 dex, +2 int, +2 cha, Immunities
Level 2: Fey HD, Natural armor +2, +4 wis, +2 con, +2 cha, nightvision
Level 3: Fey HD, +2 int, +2 con, +4 cha, awe inspiring presence

This will have the potential to get everything you want, make it interesting, and probably keep them at least fairly on par in regards to power. I'd probably change some of the stat adjustments (to a final of +6 dex, +2 con, +4 int, +4 wis, +4 cha) But overall.. dont know, hope it is something helpful have a good one!

I hereby declare that this is way too overpowered. Maybe make it an elven prestige class? 5 levels minimum! Maybe call it Fey Blooded? Awe inspiring presence needs to be defined. A little too obscure here...

Which, the orginal or Scion's suggestion? I'm keeping it without skill points, and HD to keep in line with the template idea. I don't want this to become a prestige class.

I own The Quintesential Elf. If You are going to use The Ascended, use it as is. It may actually be open content. I'll reply back later if it is.

It's too powerful as is. It gives sorcerer casting ability of a level equal to the character level. He also gains access to 9 domains. They also get three or so High Magic Feats and access to a spell pool. I want to streamline it by getting rid of all the spellcasting abilities as I think it's too much and it doesn't fit with what I want the template to be.

Awe Inspiring Presence: All creatures of less HD must make a will save (DC 10+ character level+Cha modifier) or be shaken. Ability can be turned on and off as the elf wishes.

Here is what I would do: If the character becomes Ascended then 1 of 2 things happen:

Use the Ascended as is (minus the Special Attacks and Magic Pools ability) with the following exceptions:

1) She can spells like a sorcerer of half her character level and gains the Magic pool Ability. If the character already has sorcerer levels she adds her charisma bonus to her spell-casting effects.

2) She can choose four of the domains to cast spells as an arcane versions.
