Message: <blockquote data-quote="Marker Mage" data-source="post: 3573773" data-attributes="member: 52599">I didn't know about the MSRD... I guess that ruins alot of my previous speech. I still don't trust myself with doing more than thinking of possible abilities for the classes. I might eventually start putting more detail into the possible classes I come up with.I might as well get onto another possible class... or the abilities for it. This one might be more of a prestige class than an advanced class because of the special requirement.AuthorThis class represents those who have created fictions. It can apply to people who've written stories about the fictions they've created, or those who have merely drawn pictures of a fiction that they thought up.Special Requirement: Must have located a fiction created by the character that's going to take levels in this class.Living CreationThe author has found a fiction that they've created. It may be an original fiction or a fan fiction (or alternate) that they had made. Regardless, the author has made friendly contact with it and had convinced the fiction to stay with him/her in some way. This fiction is the one that was located as a special requirement for this class.ScriptThe author can make a Craft (writing) skill check to create a fiction script. The roll isn't made until the fiction script is put to use. The result of the skill check becomes the DC of the will save against the fiction script's effect. Fiction script controls a fiction by deciding what they'll do when a triggering event happens. The triggering condition would follow the same rules as the one for the programmed illusion spell. When the fiction script's triggering condition is met, the fictions involved each make a will save with bonuses if it would be out of character for them to do follow the fiction script's stated course of action (the GM decides what the bonuses will be). Any fiction involved gets a -4 penalty to the will save if they were created by the fiction script's writer (but the fiction can always choose to fail the save automatically). If any of the fictions involved succeed in the will save, the fiction script's effect is ruined. The fiction gets another saving throw every time the fiction script trys to make them do something out of character or if a real interferes by doing something that isn't in the script.Concept ArtThe author can draw a piece of concept art for their fiction and make their fiction become molded to it. They can basically change various things about the fiction such as appearance, ability scores, equipment, skill ranks, etc. for a limited amount of time. The fiction in question can make a will save to resist the changes. If they fail the will save, they must then make a fortitude save to avoid taking damage from the sudden change to themself. Small changes (a single point added to a skill rank) would have higher will saves to resist, but lower fortitude saves, while big changes would have lower will saves and higher fortitude saves. The bigger the change, the greater the damage that would be done for failing the fortitude save. At a higher level, the author might gain the ability to use concept art on other fictions.Part of the ShowWhen one of the author's fiction scripts is being carried out, anyone involved in it who has read the fiction script can make a perform (Act) skill check as an aid another action to increase the fiction script's save DC. There may need to be a limit to how many people could do this. Maybe that number of people might increase depending on the authors level.Living Through the CharacterThe author and fiction become one being. The resulting creature is basically the fiction with the author's mental stats (and skill ranks that are based on those mental stats). This ability can only be used with the fiction granted by the Living Creation ability.I suppose that the special requirement might be able to be eliminated and that the living creation ability might be changed to resemble the mage's Summon Familiar ability, but always summoning a fiction. Speaking of the mage's Summon Familiar ability and summoning fictions...Would there be any possibility of a mage being able to end up with a fiction as a familiar? I don't mean anything like a saiyan, more like a pikachu or some other creature that would normally be under the care of a monster trainer (the magical link may interfere with the creature's growth). Maybe even just a toon version of a common kind of familiar.</blockquote>
