<blockquote data-quote="Merlion" data-source="post: 1693175" data-attributes="member: 10397">Ok here is the latest version of my on-going project, the Mystic class. Tell me what you thinkThe Mystic is a Spellcaster whose power stems from the divine power of understanding and contemplation. Most Mystic’s also draw power from the divine forces of Good or Evil, although some few Mystics instead contemplate Light and Darkness as abstract forces, or draw power from a philosophy of Balance. Adventures:Mystics general adventure to gain knowledge and new experiences. Since their power stems mainly from understanding, the more things and people they can observe and learn about, the greater their power becomes. Many good mystics are devoted to using their powers to heal and protect the innocent, while many evil ones work as advisers and magical support for powerful evil rulers in exchange for political power and luxuries.Characteristics:The power of a Mystics stems from their observation and understanding of the world around them, and of their own spirits. Their spells involve mainly healing and defense but the also have some offensive power and many spells that deal with other planes and dimensions. As they gain in knowledge an understanding, they also gain special gifts as a result of their insights. Alignment: The majority of Mystics are good, using their powers to heal and protect the innocent. However many Mystics use their powers to control the minds of others, or become advisers and healers for powerful warlords in exchange for power and leisure.Religion:Background:Mystics come from various backgrounds. Many are self taught, many seek out reclusive master Mystics to learn their ways. Many serve as healers and finders of lost things in small villages. Most discover their calling at an early age, but some choose to pursue the path of understanding later in life.Races:All races are drawn to the path of the Mystic. Humans and Elves are probably the most common, and many half elves are also drawn to a life of contemplation as an escape from prejudice. Half-Orcs especially those raised by Orcs, feel the path of the Mystic to be weak and inconsequential. Many nomadic Halflings become Mystics, since their travels give them ample opportunity to observe the world and its peoples. Gnome mystics tend to focus on using their powers to ward and defend gnomish communities.Other Classes:Mystics are great lovers of variety and diversity, and so tend to get along well with many types of people. Mystics get along particularly well with Monks, who the see as a different side of the same coin from themselves. Wizards and Sorcerers are fascinated and some times perhaps a little envious of the Mystic’s alternate approach to magic, and find their defensive powers an excellent compliment to their own destructive powers. Druids view Mystics as being a little unrealistic, but as most Mystics have a love of nature the two groups tend to get along well. Bards share the Mystics love of knowledge, knew experiences and travel. Rogues, especially those with criminal tendencies, tend to be a touch wary of Mystics and their keen perceptions. The warrior classes appreciate the Mystic for his healing and defensive powers. There is often a certain strain between Clerics and Mystics since they cast many of the same spells, but from somewhat different sources.Game Rule Information:Mystics have the following game statisticsAbilities: Wisdom determines how powerful a spell a Mystic can cast, how many spells a Mystic can cast per day, and how hard those spells are to resist. To cast a spell a Mystic must have a Wisdom score of 10+ the level of the spell. A Mystic gains bonus spells based on Wisdom. The saving throw DC for a Mystics spell is 10 + the spells level + the Mystics Wisdom modifier. Charisma affects a Mystics special protective powers, and Constitution increases the Mystic’s hit points.Alignment: AnyHit Die: d6Class SkillsThe Mystics class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Craft (Int), Concentration (Con), Decipher Script (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Heal (Wis), Knowledge (All skills, taken individually) (Int), Profession (Wis), Sense Motive (Wis), and Spellcraft (Int)Skill Points at 1st level: (4+ Int modifier) x4Skill Points At Each Additional Level: 4+ Int modifierClass FeaturesAll of the following are class features of the MysticWeapon and Armor Proficiency: the Mystic is proficient with the club, crossbow, dagger, and quarterstaff. A Mystic has no proficiency with any armor or shields.Spells: A Mystic casts “Divine” spells. Unlike many divine spellcasters, Mystic’s only know a limited number of spells, but they are able to learn more spells through meditation and contemplationA 1st level Mystic begins play knowing a number of 0th level spells equal to 6 + the Mystic’s Wisdom bonus, and a number of 1st level spells equal to 4 + the Mystic’s Wisdom bonus.Whenever a Mystic gains a level, he learns three new spells of any level he can cast, as determined by his new level. So for instance when a Mystic attains 3rd level, he may learn three new 2nd level spells, or two new 2nd level spells and a new 1st level spell, or any other combination of three spells of 0th-2nd level.&nbsp; A Mystic may learn new spells through intense meditation. This requires 1 day per spell level of the learned spell, and the process requires special incenses costing 100 gold pieces per spell level.&nbsp; A Mystic prepares his spells ahead of time as a Cleric does. The Mystic must designate a certain time of the day for his meditations. He needs no period of rest before preparing new spells.Perception: A Mystic has incredible powers of perception. At 1st level, the Mystic gains a +2 bonus on all Listen, Sense Motive, and Spot checks.Mystic Gift: Upon attaining 5th level, the Mystic is granted a special protective gift through his intense meditation and understanding. He may choose one of the following gifts:Mystic Shield: The Mystic gains a deflection bonus to armor class equal to his Charisma bonus, or a resistance bonus to saving throws equal to his Charisma bonus. Once chosen, the bonus cannot be changed.Whichever bonus is chosen, the Mystic may choose to impart some or all of the bonus to others by touch, once per day. He may divide the imparted bonuses as he sees fit, amongst however many individual’s he chooses. Fort instance, a Mystic who has chosen Mystic Shield and has a Charisma of 16 (+3 bonus) could impart a +1 bonus to three individuals, or a +2 bonus to one individual and a +1 to another, or impart the entire +3 bonus to one person. The transfer lasts for 1 hour, and the Mystic loses any portion of his Mystic Gift bonus imparted to others for that period.Healing Touch: The Mystic may heal wounds by touch.

This does not change the spell slot or casting time of the spell.Analyze Dweomer: Once per day the Mystic may create an effect identical to an analyze Dweomer spell.Transcendence: At 20th level, the Mystic has attuned himself to the universe through meditation and contemplation, and becomes a magical creature. His type changes to Outsider, and he gains the (Native) subtype, along with the alignment subtypes that match his alignment. He gains Damage reduction 10/evil if of good alignment, or 10/good if of evil alignment. A rare neutral Mystic may choose which type of damage reduction to gain.The Mystic becomes immune to spells that affect humanoids (such as charm person) but can be hedged out by a magic circle against his alignment or similar magic.&nbsp;

[b]Alignment[/b]: The majority of Mystics are good, using their powers to heal and protect the innocent. However many Mystics use their powers to control the minds of others, or become advisers and healers for powerful warlords in exchange for power and leisure. Religion: [b]Background[/b]: Mystics come from various backgrounds. Many are self taught, many seek out reclusive master Mystics to learn their ways.
