[QUOTE="Xereq, post: 2964784, member: 37136"] I got this idea for a class late last night. The Tailor is a plastic surgeon of sorts, with a sinister side. He practices surgery, transmutation, and the grafting of flesh. Where a mundane plastic surgeon in our world use an implant, he grafts flesh. Often this flesh comes from fellow sentients, his prefered medium. He sees himself as a career artist of sorts. He travels from place to place, perfecting his craft, his body enhancements, and the bodies of others. Where he goes, people end up missing and his clients end up looking "sexier" or bieng "enhanced" in other ways. Common "enhancements" include muscle grafts, redundant organ grafts or organ transplants, and cosmetic enhancement. There are also more frightening and sinister grafts: Faces contorted in pain or fright with changing expressions grafted all over the skin, monsterous natural armor grafts, arms replaced with succored and barbed tentacles, serrated claws and teeth, eyes on stalks and palms, a bulge in the front of the skull where an additional frontal lobe has been attached...the list goes on and on. I've got a few ideas for crunch abilities. The ability to deal strength & Con damage as well as paralisis with a touch attack, as the Tailor learns how to make the flesh go slack so he can opperate. Physical changes reflecting surgeries preformed to enhace tailor at no extra cost, a +1 here and there every couple levels. Some warlock-like spell-use would be nice, or perhaps a bard's spell progression. Sneak attack fits thematically...but I am loath to use it as there are already so many classes that do. However, there should be some kind of precision damage ability this class could use.
