Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cheiromancer" data-source="post: 901147" data-attributes="member: 141">How about a little brainstorming about far realms themed class abilities that aren't too overpowered, won't make the character unplayable, but will add a nice lovecraftian flavor to the prestige class?  Here's a few to get started:Aberrant defence:  Whenever the metagnostic receives damage, the twisted energies of the far realms flows through his body, warping it into a hideous mockery of itself.  The metagnostic gains a +5 natural armor bonus to AC due to the toughening and twisting of the flesh.  The transformation lasts for one round per point of damage sustained.  Damage inflicted while transformed will extend the duration of the transformation at the rate of one round per hit point inflicted. (inspired by aberrate in the BoVD)Power of Nightmares:  Each night the metagnostic can choose whether or not to draw power from the nightmarish world of the far realms.  If he chooses to draw power, he is affected as by a nightmare spell, except that he may prepare spells the next day normally.  If he chooses to undergo restful sleep (or meditation, if the metagnostic does not sleep), he receives a number of negative levels equal to his class level.  These negative levels never result in level drain and do not stack with themselves, but cannot be removed except by exposure to a far realms nightmare.Horrific Casting: It is unnerving to watch a metagnostic work magic.  Each time the metagnostic successfully casts a spell, onlookers within 30 ft. must make a will save (DC 10 + spell level) or be shaken for one round.I like Alien Antipathy and Alien Attunement as well.</blockquote>
