Message: <blockquote data-quote="Airwolf" data-source="post: 301948" data-attributes="member: 2905">Chaotic WarriorGreetings all,Here is my shot at the PrC.  Chaotic Warrior1.0    The StoryThe chaos wars between the great powers of the world created a new type of fighter.  With kingdoms locked in a centuries long struggle to control the resources of the land, some leaders became desperate.  One of the emperors knew that if the wars lasted much longer that his kingdom would fall.  With the help of priests and wizards in his service he set out on a mission of find just the right soldiers for his plan.  The task was to turn an ordinary soldier into one of the most dreadful weapons, the unknown.  Soon the first part of the plan was in place, the soldiers were found.  Now the training began.  The warriors had to be trained to move differently, to fight as no one else ever had, to deliver the telling blow, and unbalance and opponents defenses with spells.  When the troops were unleashed on the battlefield the results were swift and decisive.  The enemy was so bewildered that their lines collapsed in a matter of hours, when normally a battle of this size would persist for days.  The survivors, of whom there were few, spoke of fighting whirling demons.  Never before had so few slaughtered so many.  Soon the emperor had conquered the majority his enemies.  The others has sued for peace and offered tribute to the emperor.  A hero’s parade was scheduled in honor of the shock troops.  Ah, the spectacle of the city turned out to give praise to the men and women who had routed so many of the world’s best armies.  The cheer of the crowd, the colorful banners, the flowers given, the money tossed, the blood flowing in the streets.  The emotion of the crowd, the noise, the sights, and the smells they all combined to push the hero troops over the edge.  The city was woefully unprepared for the vicious onslaught that followed.  Less then a day had passed and the empire had suffered more deaths and more destruction than in the history of the centuries long wars.  The emperor and his court were all dead, the majority of the city guard and army garrison stationed within the capitol were dead, and only a few citizens managed to escape and tell the story.  The empire and the emperor who created these warriors were quickly forgotten.     Many of the wizards and priests who helped twist normal warriors into the chaos warriors were able to escape using their magic.  Some swore to never reveal the secret of how the new horrors were created but there are a few who willing passed on the dreaded information, for a price of course.                2.0 RequirementsTo qualify to become a Chaotic Warrior, a character must fulfill all the following criteria.Alignment:  (This is a no-brainer.) Any chaotic.Feat(s): Quick Draw, Two Weapon Fighting Skill Ranks: Bluff 6 ranks; Innuendo 6 ranks; Sense Motive 4 ranks, Tumble 4 ranks.  Restriction: Cannot have taken the weapon focus feat.  If the weapon focus feat is gained in the future the character will lose all Chaotic Warrior specials.  Lvl.....BAB........F.....R.....W......Specials1st.....+1........+2...+0...+0.....Protection from Law2nd....+2........+3...+0...+0.....Improved Initiative3rd....+3........+3...+1...+1.....Bonus Damage +1d44th....+4........+4...+1...+1.....More than meets the eye5th....+5........+4...+1...+1.....

however, the CW may only use his special abilities when wearing medium, light, or no armor.  Also, if the Chaotic warrior is using a shield the specials will not function.  Note: An armor check penalty for armor heavier than leather and applies to the skills Balance, Escape Artist, Hide, Tumble, etc.4.2 Protection from Law:  The Chaotic Warrior gains Protection from Law as an innate ability.  He may use this ability a number of times per day equal to his CW level.  This is a spell like ability, as cast from a 10th level caster.  4.3 Spells: Part of the training received by a chaotic is how to channel the unseen energy that surrounds us all.  This may seem at odds with the unruly nature of the typical warrior.  But in nature all things are balanced.  There are the studious wizards and psions who are work to bring the energy from without and within under control.  By contrast the chaotic warrior wants only to create more confusion in nature.  The energies of chaos come to his aid when he calls.  The Chaotic warrior gets spells like a bard or sorcerer, but these are based on the characters constitution score.  The CW must have a constitution of at least 11 to cast first level spells and a fifteen to cast fifth level spells.  There are no additional bonus spells for a high constitution score.  The spell list is in table 4-1.  4.4 Improved Initiative: All chaotic warriors gain the feat Improved Initiative upon achieving 2nd level.4.5 Bonus Damage: During combat the Chaotic Warrior moves with all possible speed and randomness.  The slashing and piercing attacks leave jagged wounds that tend to bleed more profusely than normal.  Blows will often be redirected or bounce to another part of the enemies body causing a second smaller wound.  The CW is not even aware that his attacks are so telling.  The CW, at 3rd level, gets and extra 1d4 points of damage on each successful hit, this increased to 2d4 at 6th level and to 3d4 at 9th level.  If this damage is against a lawful being it is doubled, i.e. instead of 1d4 at 3rd – 5th level, its 2d4, etc.        4.6 More than meets the eye:  The chaotic warrior is able to offer a slight distraction that makes an opponent think that the CW’s weapon is going one way when it is really going another.  For every five ranks in bluff, the chaotic warrior gets a +1 to hit (not to damage) with any weapon he is using.  4.7 Now you see it…:  The goal of a chaotic warrior is to be surrounded by chaos in battle.  This helps keep enemies off balance.  To do this the warrior will suddenly switch weapons in mid-combat.  With this ability the CW may sheath a weapon and draw a new one as a free action.  This may be done only once per round.  This does not provoke an attack of opportunity.  This is generally used only on melee weapons; the exception would be at the beginning of combat when a ranged weapon can be exchanged for a melee weapon.  If the CW fights with two weapons the weapon in either hand can be switched, but not both weapons in the same round.    4.8 Iron Will: The maelstrom of thoughts and emotions streaming through a Chaotic Warrior’s mind makes it difficult for others to get through.  This sets up an unconscious wall around the psyche of the CW.  This gives the CW the benefits of the Iron Will feat.    4.9 Zone of Chaos:  Upon achieving 8th level the Chaotic Warrior becomes truly a part of the energy of chaos.  A zone of pure chaotic energy surrounds him to a radius of 10 feet.  The CW and any other chaotic allies in this zone get a bonus +2 to all saves and AC against any lawful beings.  Lawful beings get a –2 to AC when being attacked by a chaotic being in this zone.    4.10 Strike All: The Chaotic Warrior has reached the pinnacle of ability.  During combat he is simply a blur, moving to and fro, up and down, in and out.  Opponents find themselves almost hypnotized by symphony of motion.  This ability functions like the Whirlwind attack in the Player’s Handbook, except the CW can make 2 attacks at his highest attack bonus against each opponent within 5 feet. (If the CW is using two weapons he still only gets two attacks at each opponent but he must use both weapons to attack. i.e. the first attack against opponent one comes from the weapon in his right hand, the second from the weapon in his left hand.)1st level:    Delay Poison, Lesser Acid Orb (T&B), Magic Missile, Magic Weapon, Protection from Law, Ray of Enfeeblement2nd level:    Bull’s Strength, Cat’s Grace, Endurance, False Life, Ice Knife (T&B), Sound Burst3rd level:    Greater Magic Weapon, Keen Edge, Lightning Bolt, Magic Circle Against Law, Negative Energy Burst (T&B), Sleet Storm4th level:    Acid Orb (T&B), Freedom of Movement, Ice Storm, Shout5th level:    Cloudkill, Cone of Cold, Cure Critical Wounds, Energy Buffer (T&B) Table 4-1: Chaotic Warrior Spell listSpells (KNOWN / CAST PER DAY)1.....2....3...4...51/22/3    1/2    2/3    2/3    2/3    2/3    1/23/4    2/3    2/3    3/4    2/4    2/3    1/23/4    3/4    2/3    1/3    3/4    3/4    2/4    2/33/5    3/4    2/4    2/3    1/23/5    3/5    3/4    2/4    2/3I think the CW is a little unbalanced, but I haven't really taken time to go back and do any editing.  Please post any input you might have.  If the formatting is a mess, sorry.  I  will make changes so it looks good.</blockquote>
