[QUOTE="evolved, post: 2663867, member: 17368"] Adventurer Adventurers are warrior sages who use a combination of knowledge intuition and out of the box style thinking to perform outlandish attacks that other’s would never contemplate. Often they grew up near concentrations of traditional adventurers Guild houses major cities with monster problems or frontier settlements. They study and learn about those people the kind who become heroes and villains kings and transcendent deities. The lessons learned from these incredible people never leave the young Adventurers as they mature and strike out on their own. Surprisingly almost all adventurers develop a high level of unarmed combat ability most likely due to the lack of weapons a youngster has when he is planning his first techniques. Over time an Adventurer develops a series of tricks that play off their selected feats making them dangerous combatants vs. even veteran foes. These tricks range from being able to fight in impossible situations to techniques designed to turn a weakness into a strength. A few tricks even unlock mystical techniques that leave even the masters stumped as to where that came from. Classes: Adventurers don’t like to deal with “narrow minds” often this leads to baiting the fighters, and sorcerers with their superior knowledge and uncanny skills. Annoying wizards with their ability to decipher arcane ideas that make their knowledge less impressive sounding. Intentionally drawing paladins or clerics into saying something that goes against the dogma of their religion, especially if said churchman tries to convert said Adventurer, Druids, rogues, rangers and bards, those who are more likely to approach problems from multiple unique angles usually have no trouble with Adventurers. Few adventurers multi class except to gain a level of mystical prowess quickly Adventurer/Psions are rare while Adventurer/totemists are merely uncommon. Races: Humans are by far the most common Adventurers due to their variety, versatility and innovativeness. Halflings make a strong showing in the ranks of Adventurers due to fearlessness and a cultural predilection for daring stunts. Half-humans are also common due to the thrill seeker in them. Finally elves rarely become Adventurers thanks to their dedication to learning individual traditions rather than mixing knowledge and intuition. Amongst the monstrous races Adventurers are rare due to a lack of thrill seekers with the intellect to master the sage side of this class. Alignment: Adventurers are a varied lot but their unorthodox tactics and unusual outlook on life makes chaotic the most common alignment. Lawful Adventurers usually grew up near and adventurer’s guild house and learned from the strange people who belonged to the guild. A good Adventurer is kind hearted and moderately charitable, but is more likely to teach someone in need rather than simply provide. Evil Adventurers are self serving and relish the fear they inspire when they use their unusual maneuvers. Abilities: depending on your feats and tricks selected different ability scores become more important, but strength and intelligence are central to many Adventurers. Bab as Fighter Hit Dice : d8 Saves as wizard Skill points (4+int mod)(*4 at first level) Class skills - Any knowledge, craft, profession, perform, move silently, hide, handle animal, ride, spot listen, sense motive, bluff, search, concentration, jump , climb , swim, tumble, use magic/psionic device, use rope Weapon and Armor Simple +1 martial, light armor and bucklers [code] lvl special Improved Unarmed damage 1 bonus feat 1d4 2 Trick 1d4 3 Power Strike (magic) 1d4 4 bonus feat 1d4 5 trick 1d6 6 Power Strike (silver) 1d6 7 bonus feat 1d6 8 trick 1d6 9 Power Strike (alignment :moral) 1d8 10 bonus feat 1d8 11 trick 1d8 12 Power Strike (cold iron) 1d8 13 bonus feat 1d10 14 trick 1d10 15 Power Strike (alignment :ethical) 1d10 16 bonus feat 1d10 17 trick 1d12 18 Power Strike (adamantine) 1d12 19 bonus feat 1d12 20 trick 1d12 [/code] Unarmed strike : The one thing Adventures all have in common is the uncanny ability to strike an opponent without a weapon and still deal not inconsiderable damage.

This version of unarmed can be wielded as either off or on hand, can be twf'ed with it self, and deos not require a free hand, you may deal lethal or non-lethal. Powerstrike : Adventures gradually learn how to instil their unarmed attacks with more power and will this allows them to bypass the damage reduction of thier enemies. When the powerstrike gained is alignment based the unarmed strike bypasses DR as a weapon of the Adventurer's alignment. Trick : Every time an Adventurer gains this ability he learns a new trick from the list below. Battle grapple : (improved grapple and dex 13+) you can attack an opponent in a grapple with a light weapon at no penalty, one-handed -2, two handed -4 with a minus -2 on the grapple checks when using a two-handed.

Two-fisted style : (two-weapon fighting, str 13+) when using two weapon fighting with only unarmed apply full str mod to all damage rolls. Sage's knowledge : (5 ranks any two knowledge skills) your studies tie into one another in unusual ways, strange connections and similarities come more easily to mind. Once per day per 6 Adventurer levels you may make a special knowledge check with a modifier equal to your Adventurer level + your intelligence modifier instead of making a check with another knowledge skill in which you have at least one skill point Parry : (expertise, dodge, combat reflexes) whenever an opponent attacks you may attempt to parry with an opposed attack roll with a weapon no more than 2 size categories smaller, if you win the opponent misses. This ability uses up one AoO when used and you must decide to parry before learning the result of the attack(s). Parrying a crit takes 2 AoO’s. Use of this trick supercedes your AC, you must declare use of this trick before the attack roll's result is announced. Heavy Handed : (power attack, stunning fist, str 15+) When fighting with only unarmed strikes and without using two-weapon feats your unarmed attacks are treated as a two-handed weapon. Fast Feint : (improved feint, cha 13+) you may feint as an attack action, and you may fient instead of taking an attack in a full attack routine. Cloak Storm : (whirlwind attack, cloak dance, perform (dance,tumble,or weaponplay 7 ranks) when you use the whirlwind attack feat and are wearing a cloak you may gain the conceal ment from cloak dance as if you had taken a move action in other words 50%. Hidden psychic : (hidden talent, cha 13+, knowledge psionics 11) when you take the expand knowledge feats, you may learn powers with a level of up to 1/8 your adventurer level. Unfettered mentalist : (psionic meditation, concentration 15) once per day per point of wis modifier you may restore psionic focus as an attack action during a full attack by making a concentration check with dc 30. Addling shot : (far shot, precise shot, craft armor 4 ranks) when you hit an opponent within the first range increment of your ranged attack that opponent takes a penalty to spot search, knowledge, and concentration checks until yur nex turn the penalty is equal to half you adventurer level.
