[QUOTE="Sound of Azure, post: 3307134, member: 40749"] Well, here's something, anyway: [COLOR=Blue][B]Ascetic Maiden[/B][/COLOR] You belong to an order of geisha sponsored by a local temple that teaches enlightenment through self-expression. As a student of this school, you’ve blended you geisha and monk levels into one seamless whole. [B]Prerequisites:[/B] Improved Unarmed Strike, Geisha Performance. [B]Benefit:[/B] You Geisha and Monk levels stack for the purpose of determining your AC bonus. For example, a 4th-level geisha/1st-level monk would have a +1 AC bonus as if she was a 5th-level monk.* Your geisha and monk levels also stack when determining the number of times per day that you can use your geisha performances. In addition, you can multi-class freely between the geisha and monk classes. You must still remain lawful in order to continue advancing as a monk. You still face the normal penalties for having multiple classes more than one level apart. [SIZE=1]*[COLOR=Red]Was considering giving the ability to substitute Cha for Wis to AC here also, but that is too much like [I]Ascetic Mage[/I], IMO.[/COLOR][/SIZE] Edit: And an extra geisha item [SIZE=3][COLOR=Blue][B]Wings of the Phoenix[/B][/COLOR][/SIZE] This red and orange +2 Kimono of Greater Fire Resistance includes two +2 Flaming Burst Long Kimono Sleeves and is a treasure of the Phoenix Clan. In addition to the Sleeves’ Flaming Burst property, a geisha can expend one Geisha performance (as a swift action) to invoke [I]Phoenix Wings[/I], transforming the sleeves into wings of brilliant fire (resembling those of a phoenix), which do not damage you or any items you carry. This effect lasts for 1 hour. You may expend additional uses of Geisha performance to extend the duration of the effect. The wings allow you to fly at a speed of 60 feet (good) while carrying no more than a light load. You can ascend at half speed and descend at double speed, and you can charge (but not run) while flying. You can make attacks with the [I]Phoenix Wings [/I] as normal for a Long Kimono Sleeve, except for effects that emulate metal (such as Iron Sleeves, or Decapitation, or a metalline effect). Alignment-based modifiers remain in effect. You deal 2d6 points of fire damage with the [I]Phoenix Wings[/I] instead of the normal Long Kimono Sleeve damage, in addition to the flaming burst effect (and any other damage effects the Sleeves might have). The wings are extinguished (and the effect ends) if subjected to a quench spell, immersed in water for 1 round, or exposed to winds of hurricane force or greater. If the effect is ended prematurely while you are aloft, you fall normally. While using the [I]Phoenix Wings[/I] ability, you may (as a standard action) spend an additional use of Geisha performance to invoke [I]Phoenix Breath[/I], creating a 30’ cone of fire that deals 12d6 points of fire damage. Using [I]Phoenix Breath[/I] ends the [I]Phoenix Wings[/I] effect. Moderate transmutation; CL 12th; Craft Magic Arms and Armour, [I]resist energy, fire wings and flame blade, flame strike,[/I] or [I]fireball[/I]. Price: 113,250gp Cost to Create: 56,625gp + 4,530 XP.
