The full list includes club, crossbow (light or heavy), dagger, handaxe, javelin, kama, nunchaku, quarterstaff, shuriken, siangham, and sling. A Sephiroth using a kama, nunchaku, or siangham can strike with his or her unarmed base attack, including her more favorable number of attacks per round (see below). His or her damage, however, is standard for the weapon (1d6, crit X2), not his or her unarmed damage. The weapon must be light, so a Small Sephiroth must use Tiny versions of these weapons in order to use the more favorable base attack. A Sephiroth adds her Wisdom bonus (if any) to AC, in addition to her normal Dexterity modifier, and her AC improves as she gains levels. (Only add this extra AC bonus if the total of the Sephiroth's Wisdom modifier and the number in the &quot;AC Bonus&quot; column is a positive number.) The Wisdom bonus and the AC bonus represent a preternatural awareness of danger, and a Sephiroth does not lose either even in situations when he or she loses her Dexterity modifier due to being unprepared, ambushed, stunned, and so on. (Sephiroth’s do lose these AC bonuses when immobilized.) When wearing armor, a Sephiroth loses her AC bonus for Wisdom, AC bonus for class and level, favorable multiple unarmed attacks per round, and heightened movement. Furthermore, her special abilities all face the arcane spell failure chance that the armor type normally imposes.Special Abilities:Chosen Element:&nbsp; The Sephiroth must choose an element (fire, earth, air, or water).&nbsp; Once chosen it cannot be changed with anything short of a wish spell.Features Change: Starting at 1st level, the Sephiroth begins to go through a metamorphosis.&nbsp; See Chart below for information on the change.Elemental Attack: Once per day per level, the Sephiroth can call forth the power of his chosen element to deal additional elemental damage and can only be used with unarmed attacks.&nbsp; This ability must be declared before the attack and if the attack misses, it still counts towards the daily limit.&nbsp; Once an elemental attack is declared, the Sephiroth glow brightly (see chart below) and after the attack is made, the glow begins to fade slowly ending the following round.&nbsp; At first level, the Sephiroth deals an additional d8 points of elemental damage related to the Sephiroth’s chosen element.&nbsp; This increases to d10 at level 4 and d12 at level 8.&nbsp; See chart below for types of damage.Element Protection:&nbsp; As the Sephiroth starts to embrace the changes that he is going through, he begins to feel a comfort towards his chosen element and gains protection from his chosen element.&nbsp; Starting at second level, the Sephiroth ignores the first 10 points of damage from his chosen element.&nbsp; This increases by 10 every even level after second.Element Vulnerability: With the protection granted with Element Protection comes certain vulnerability.&nbsp; At level two, Sephiroth takes double damage from vulnerable element (See chart below) except on a successful save.Elemental Strike:&nbsp; Starting at third level, a Sephiroth’s unarmed attack is empowered with the elements. The unarmed strike damage from such an attack can deal damage to a creature with damage reduction as if the blow were made with a weapon with a +1 enhancement bonus. This increases to +2 at level 5, +3 at level 7 and +4 at level 9. Elemental strike is a supernatural ability.&nbsp; This is similar to the monk’s ki strike.Elemental Form: The Sephiroth has become so in tuned with his element that he can change into a medium elemental of his chosen type.&nbsp; This is useable one times a day and last for a number of rounds equal to Sephiroth x WIS modifier.&nbsp; This increases to a large elemental at level 9.&nbsp; The duration of the Elemental Form need not be consecutive rounds.Elemental Self:&nbsp; At level 10, the Sephiroth has become so altered that he is forevermore treated as an Elemental of his chosen type and gains all the elemental immunities (Immune to poison, sleep, paralysis, and stunning. Not subject to critical hits.).&nbsp; Furthermore, Sephiroth gains damage reduction 10/+2 but they cannot benefit from the Monk’s Perfect Self.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Base&nbsp;

[QUOTE="Akhkharu, post: 22811, member: 346"] please comment on this PrC class for monks. I am still working on it and would like some honest feedback. I also posted it [URL=http://boards.wizards.com/rpg/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic&f=116&t=001968]Here[/URL] Thanks. [b]Sephiroth[/b] [I](Seph-ehr-ohs)[/I] Infinite brought into finite [b]Description:[/b] A blinding flash and the ogre that was chasing you tumbles to the ground, it’s head twisted at an unusual angle. Looking up you see a lone figure, the red glow surrounding him slowly diminishing as the morning sun catches the red highlights in his wind blown black hair. Slowly he lifts his head, bringing his eyes to meet yours. You notice, as you lock eyes that his eyes are completely red, like molten lava or living fire. You turn to run, more afraid of him then you were of the ogre when suddenly he’s beside you, his red tinged hand clasping fast to your arm. He speaks to you, his voice the crackling of a roaring fire. The startled look on your face, one of scared confusion causes him to try again. This time his words are not so harsh yet you still hear the distinct crackling of a fire as you hear him speak. “Do not be frightened. I am Raysin, the Sephiroth.” [b]Requirements[/b] [I]Alignment:[/I] Any Lawful, though usually Lawful Neutral [I]Skills:[/I] Tumble 10 ranks Jump 10 ranks Move Silently 5 ranks Hide 5 ranks [I]Feats:[/I] Improved Unarmed Strike Improved Trip [I]Special:[/I] Must be able to speak either: Aquan, Auran, Ignan, or Terran [b]Class Features:[/b] [I]Hit Dice:[/I] d8 [I]Class Skills:[/I] The Sephiroth's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Balance (Dex), Climb (Str), Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Escape Artist (Dex), Hide (Dex), Jump (Str), Knowledge (arcana) (Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Perform (Cha), Profession (Wis), Swim (Str), and Tumble (Dex). [I]Skill Points:[/I] 4 + Int [I]Weapon and Armor Proficiency:[/I] Sephiroth are proficient with basic peasant weapons and special weapons whose use is part of Sephiroth training. The full list includes club, crossbow (light or heavy), dagger, handaxe, javelin, kama, nunchaku, quarterstaff, shuriken, siangham, and sling. A Sephiroth using a kama, nunchaku, or siangham can strike with his or her unarmed base attack, including her more favorable number of attacks per round (see below). His or her damage, however, is standard for the weapon (1d6, crit X2), not his or her unarmed damage. The weapon must be light, so a Small Sephiroth must use Tiny versions of these weapons in order to use the more favorable base attack. A Sephiroth adds her Wisdom bonus (if any) to AC, in addition to her normal Dexterity modifier, and her AC improves as she gains levels. (Only add this extra AC bonus if the total of the Sephiroth's Wisdom modifier and the number in the "AC Bonus" column is a positive number.) The Wisdom bonus and the AC bonus represent a preternatural awareness of danger, and a Sephiroth does not lose either even in situations when he or she loses her Dexterity modifier due to being unprepared, ambushed, stunned, and so on. (Sephiroth’s do lose these AC bonuses when immobilized.) When wearing armor, a Sephiroth loses her AC bonus for Wisdom, AC bonus for class and level, favorable multiple unarmed attacks per round, and heightened movement. Furthermore, her special abilities all face the arcane spell failure chance that the armor type normally imposes. [b]Special Abilities:[/b] [I]Chosen Element:[/I] The Sephiroth must choose an element (fire, earth, air, or water). Once chosen it cannot be changed with anything short of a wish spell. [I]Features Change:[/I] Starting at 1st level, the Sephiroth begins to go through a metamorphosis. See Chart below for information on the change. [I]Elemental Attack:[/I] Once per day per level, the Sephiroth can call forth the power of his chosen element to deal additional elemental damage and can only be used with unarmed attacks. This ability must be declared before the attack and if the attack misses, it still counts towards the daily limit. Once an elemental attack is declared, the Sephiroth glow brightly (see chart below) and after the attack is made, the glow begins to fade slowly ending the following round. At first level, the Sephiroth deals an additional d8 points of elemental damage related to the Sephiroth’s chosen element. This increases to d10 at level 4 and d12 at level 8. See chart below for types of damage. [I]Element Protection:[/I] As the Sephiroth starts to embrace the changes that he is going through, he begins to feel a comfort towards his chosen element and gains protection from his chosen element. Starting at second level, the Sephiroth ignores the first 10 points of damage from his chosen element. This increases by 10 every even level after second. [I]Element Vulnerability:[/I] With the protection granted with Element Protection comes certain vulnerability. At level two, Sephiroth takes double damage from vulnerable element (See chart below) except on a successful save. [I]Elemental Strike[/I]: Starting at third level, a Sephiroth’s unarmed attack is empowered with the elements. The unarmed strike damage from such an attack can deal damage to a creature with damage reduction as if the blow were made with a weapon with a +1 enhancement bonus. This increases to +2 at level 5, +3 at level 7 and +4 at level 9. Elemental strike is a supernatural ability. This is similar to the monk’s ki strike. [I]Elemental Form:[/I] The Sephiroth has become so in tuned with his element that he can change into a medium elemental of his chosen type. This is useable one times a day and last for a number of rounds equal to Sephiroth x WIS modifier. This increases to a large elemental at level 9. The duration of the Elemental Form need not be consecutive rounds. [I]Elemental Self:[/I] At level 10, the Sephiroth has become so altered that he is forevermore treated as an Elemental of his chosen type and gains all the elemental immunities (Immune to poison, sleep, paralysis, and stunning. Not subject to critical hits.). Furthermore, Sephiroth gains damage reduction 10/+2 but they cannot benefit from the Monk’s Perfect Self.
