Geomancer

[erik_the_guy]

The Geomancer is a class that I created for my campaign. Geomancers are a tribal class with strong ties to the earth. They use powers called Orisons to channels the earths might and vanquish their opponents. I appreciate any feedback anyone wants to give me on the class or any of its features.

In combat geomancers are controllers. They focus more on terrain control and status effects than damage, which makes them different from wizards. Geomancers create a terrain advantage for your party in combat, and they can make powerful opportunity attacks against foes that are affected by terrain or their orisons.

Currently the geomancer is an NPC class in my campaign. They have many specialized attacks that work against only metal clad foes, and most of their abilities are useless in areas without any plants or earth. This specialization makes them more difficult to use for a PC class but I am going to try to balance them for this purpose. This will include replacing or rewriting powers which affect metal clad enemies, as well as giving them more abilities that let them bring nature with them to facilitate their earth or plant dependant spells.

Geomancers are priests of the earth. They revere nature, the power of the earth, and the vitality of plant life. Wary of large cities, they seek what is best for the untamed wild lands. Some believe in promoting a balance between civilization and the environment, others hold that all civilization is a scar on the otherwise untouched beauty of nature. Occasionally, geomancer tribes will feud over what type of terrain should occupy a certain area, such as arguing over whether a forest should be grown over an open field. These disagreements can end in bloodshed.
Geomancers control the battlefield in two ways. They can modify the terrain to suit them and their allys, and they can damage large groups of enemies, though to a lesser extent than wizards. Additionally, geomancers are capable adversaries in melee. Their geomancer’s staffs allow them to make many opportunity attacks against foes hindered by their terrain effects.

Creating a Geomancer:
[sblock]Geomancers combine the strength of the earth and the vitality of plants to produce effective control casters with decent melee capabilities. Their spells are capable of controlling the battlefield by affecting terrain to grant the advantage to allies, and by damaging groups of enemies (though not to the extent of a wizard). Wisdom is an important attribute for geomancers since it makes their spells more powerful. Strength affects a geomancers melee capabilities and earth attacks while constitution offers increased hit points and healing surges, and bolsters plant based attacks. Geomancers tend to make a large number of opportunity attacks against enemies affected by their spells.[/sblock]

Terran Geomancers:
[sblock]A Terran geomancer focuses an earth attacks and loves to dive into melee. As a terran geomancer, you will crush opponents with rock, slow them with mud, and burn them with acid. Your primary score is wisdom because it empowers all your spells. Put your second highest score into strength since it bolsters your earth based attacks, and makes you more dangerous in combat. A high constitution score enhances your plant based attacks and hit points. If you wear light armour you may benefit from a good dexterity or intelligence score.
Suggested feats: Weapon focus (Human feat: Toughness)
Suggested Skills: Athletics, Dungeoneering, Heal

Vegan Geomancers:
[sblock]The word Vegan implies that this geomancer focuses on plant based effects, it is not related in any way to diet. You like to entangle opponents with plant based attacks, crush them with thorny vines, and stop them dead with potent natural poisons. You move around in melee more strategically than a Terran, but do not hit as hard. On the other hand, you can take quite a beating. Your highest ability should be wisdom since it enhances your spells. You should put your second highest score into constitution because it enhances your plant based attacks and increases your hit points. Strength is a good choice for your third highest score since you will spend a good amount of time in melee and may choose to learn a few earth based attacks. A decent dexterity score enhances your AC if you use light armour.
Suggested feats: Combat reflexes (Human feat: Toughness)

Geomancer Class features:
[sblock]Geomancers wield divine magic to give their party a distinct terrain advantage in combat. While many casters stick to the back ranks and a supporting role, geomancers are dangerous adversaries in melee combat. When not using spells, geomancers make many opportunity attacks against opponents who are hindered by their earth and plant spells.[/sblock]

Armor:
[sblock]A geomancer’s divine powers do not function while wearing metal armor. A geomancer generally has two options. Use light armor and a high dexterity/intelligence score, or spend feats to be able to make and use stonechain, beastscaleand barkplate heavy armours. These special non-metal armours made by the geomancer using rituals, that are otherwise identical to chainmail, scale and plate armour.
Note: this feature is more of a fluff rule than anything. The game balance works exactly the same if you simply allow the geomancer to wear metal armor.[/sblock]

Geomancer’s Staff:
[sblock]You possess a personalized staff (quarterstaff) that is used as both a divine implement and a weapon in combat. Although any staff will suffice as an implement, your geomancers staff is necessary for many abilities and some of your orisons extra powers.
Personalizing a staff is an arduous process which requires 1 day and 50 gold pieces. When you personalize a staff it becomes linked to you, replacing any other staffs you may have personalized previously. You can convert normal staffs or magical staffs you find or purchase into a geomancer’s staff by personalizing them. Personalizing magical staff costs 50gp per level of the enchantment.
As long as you wield a geomancer’s staff in both hands (when it is used as a weapon or focus) you gain a +1 shield bonus to AC and reflex defense.[/sblock]

Earthen and planty terrain:
[sblock]Many powers require you or your enemy to be on earthen or planty terrain.
Earthen terrain: includes any sort of rock or sand. Dirt, soil, a grassy field, a forest floor, a mountain, an underground cavern, and stone castles are all earthen terrain.
Planty terrain: includes any includes any terrain that supports plant growth or that is made of plant materials. A grassy field, a patch of moss in a cave, clear ground with overhanging branches, a square beside a tree and wooden buildings are all planty terrain.
Both: In many situations, a square of terrain will meet the requirements of both earthen and planty terrain. It can act as either or both for your orisons.[/sblock]

Restrictive terrain
Restrictive terrain is any terrain that makes mobility difficult, including hindering, difficult, or challenging terrain. The DM may rule that any square of terrain is restrictive or not. If a spell requires terrain to be earthen restrictive or planty restrictive terrain, it must fit both the criteria for earthen/planty and for restrictive terrain.

Land’s Opportunity:
You gain Land’s Opportunity as an at-will power (see geomancer powers).

Land’s Opening:
[sblock]You are trained in taking advantage of opponents who are distracted by the land’s obstacles. You may make an opportunity attack against an opponent in reach whenever any of the following conditions are met.
-The opponent is immobilized or slowed by an earth or plant effect
-The opponent enters a square of earthen or planty restrictive terrain
-The opponent is in a square that becomes earthen or planty restrictive terrain
Often a spell you use causes an opponent to be subject to your Land’s Opening class feature. Unlike other classes, you may make up to one opportunity attack on your own turn. Remember you are limited to one opportunity attack on each opponents turn.[/sblock]

Land walker:
[sblock]Natural obstacles hinder you little.
You treat earthen and planty difficult terrain as normal terrain. You gain a +5 bonus to all skill checks made on earthen or planty challenging terrain. You ignore cover (but not superior cover) from earthen and planty terrain. For example, an enemy behind a low stone wall or a tree stump would not gain a cover bonus to AC from you.
Additionally that you ignore all terrain effects created by your own orisons unless they produce blocking terrain.[/sblock]

Ritual Caster
You gain ritual caster as a bonus feat even if you are not trained in religion or arcana. You also have access to some rituals created with the geomancer class in mind.

Geomancers and Deities:
Geomancers worship their home planet above all else, but you may pay respect to a particular deity if you wish. Common choices for deities are Melora, Pelor, and Corellon. Deities that promote civilization such as Erathis are shunned.

 

[erik_the_guy]

Geomancer Powers:
Your powers are called orisons. You call upon the powers of the planet to undo your foes. If no earth or plants are present you may still be unable to use some orisons. Some of your powers can make any terrain earthen or planty allowing you to use powers.

more melee then I like to see on a controller, but it passes the quick once over I've given it so far. I'll do a full review later.
