Sohei Class Features[sblock]
Weapon and Armor Proficiencies: Sohei are proficient with all simple and martial weapons, and with all armors (but no shields).
Weapon Focus: Sohei gain Weapon Focus with a weapon of their choice as a bonus feat.
Spells: Beginning at 4th level, a sohei gains the ability to cast a small number of divine spells. To cast a spell, a sohei must have a Wisdom score of at least 10 + the spell's level, so a sohei with a Wisdom of 10 or lower cannot cast these spells. Sohei bonus spells are based on Wisdom, and saving throws against these spells have a Difficulty Class of 10 + spell level + Wisdom modifier. When a sohei gets 0 spells of a given level, such as 0 1st-level spells at 4th level, the sohei gets only bonus spells. A sohei without a bonus spell for that level cannot yet cast a spell of that level. A sohei has access to any spell on her spell list and can freely choose which to prepare. A sohei prepares and casts spells just as a cleric or shaman does.
Through 3rd level, a sohei has no caster level. Starting at 4th level, a sohei's caster level is one-half her class level.
Ki Frenzy: Starting at first level, a sohei gains the ability to focus her
ki power into a frenzy of berserk energy. In this frenzied state, she temporarily gains +2 to Strength and +2 to Dexterity. Her speed increases by 10 feet, and she can choose to make a flurry of blows with a full attack action in melee, making one extra attack per round while suffering a -2 penalty on every attack.
While in a
ki frenzy, a sohei cannot use skills or abilities that require patience or concentration, such as moving silently or casting spells. (She cannot use any sohei class skill in a frenzy.) She can use any feat she might have except for Expertise, item creation feats, and Skill Focus (if it is tied to a skill that requires patience or concentration).
A
ki frenzy lasts for a number of rounds equal to three + the sohei's Constitution modifier. The sohei may prematurely end the frenzy voluntarily. At the end of the frenzy, the sohei is fatigued (-2 to Strength, -2 to Dexterity, can't charge or run) for the duration of the encounter.
The sohei can only enter a frenzy once per encounter, and only a certain number of times per day (determined by level). Entering a frenzy is a free action.
Deflect Arrows: The sohei gains
Deflect Arrows as a bonus feat at second level, even if she doesn't have the prerequisite feat and Dexterity score.
Diehard: The sohei gains
Diehard as a bonus feat at third level.
Strength of Mind: A sohei of at least 5th level is immune to stunning and
sleep spells and effects.
Defensive Strike: The sohei gains Defensive Strike as a bonus feat at 6th level, even if she doesn't have the prerequisite feat and Dexterity score.[sblock]
Defensive Strike [General]
You can turn a strong defense into a powerful offense.
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Int 13,
Combat Expertise,
Dodge.
Benefit: If an opponent attacks you and misses while you are using the total defense action, you can attack that opponent on your next turn with a +4 bonus on your attack roll. You gain no bonus against an opponent that does not attack you or against an opponent that attacks you and hits you.
Special: A fighter may select Defensive Strike as one of his fighter bonus feats. A sohei gains Defensive Strike as a bonus feat at 6th level.[/sblock]
Damage Reduction: Starting at 7th level, the sohei gains the extraordinary ability to shrug off some amount of injury from each blow or attack. Substract 1 from the damage the sohei takes each time she is dealt damage. At 10th level, this damage reduction rises to 2. At 13th level, it rises to 3. At 16th level, it rises to 4. At 19th level, it rises to 5. Damage reduction can reduce damage to 0 but not below 0.
Mettle: The sohei's special blessing allows her to shrug off magical effects that would otherwise damage or harm her. If a sohei of at least 9th level makes a successful Will or Fortitude saving throw that would normally reduce the spell's effect, she suffers no effect from the spell at all. Only those spells with a Saving Throw entry of “Will partial,” “Fortitude half,” or similar entries can be negated through this ability.
Greater Frenzy: At 11th level, a sohei's bonuses to Strength and Dexterity during her frenzy each increases to +4, the penalty she suffers on attack rolls for making a flurry of blows is reduced to -1, and her speed increases by 20 feet during her frenzy.
Tireless Frenzy:At 17th level and higher, a sohei no longer becomes fatigued at the end of her frenzy.
Whirlwind Frenzy: At 20th level, a sohei's bonuses to Strength and Dexterity during her frenzy each increases to +6, she suffers no penalty on attack rolls for making a flurry of blows, and her speed increases by 30 feet during her frenzy.[/sblock]

This spell has no effect on creatures that cannot hear. Otherwise, you deafen foes of the same alignment for 1d4 rounds (save for half). Foes within one alignment step of yours (lawful, neutral, chaotic; good or evil) take 1 point of damage per caster level (maximum 10). Foes whose alignment is more than one step different from yours take 1d4 points of damage per caster level (maximum 10d4). A Fortitude saving throw is allowed for half damage from this spell.[/sblock]
Death Ward
Discern Shapechanger. Penetrates disguises and shape changes.[sblock]Divination
Level: Sha 4, Soh 4, Wuj 3
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: Full round action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 1 round/level
With a standard action spent in concentration, you can see the true form of polymorphed, disguised, or transmuted creatures within 60 feet. Each round, you can see and determine whether it is polymorphed, disguised, or transmuted, and what its true form is.
If you look at a shapechanger in its true form, you what that it is a shapechanger, but cannot determine what other forms it might be capable of assuming. For purposes of this spell, a shapechanger is any creature with the shapechanger subtype or the supernatural ability to take an alternate form or change shape. A wu jen who knows
polymorph self is not a shapechanger (since a spell is not a supernatural or extraordinary ability), but a spirit centipede is (since it has the extraordinary ability to assume alternate forms, though it hasn't the shapechanger subtype).
