[QUOTE="Spatzimaus, post: 2625207, member: 3051"] Okay, now that I'm home, the longer list: [b]Major Drawbacks[/b]: > Immobile (see Dwarven Defender) > Can't concentrate (PHB Barbarian) > Can't take offensive actions (attacks, spells that affect enemies) > Fail all saving throws > Take 50% more damage from all sources while in trance (We keep thinking up more as we go along.) [b]Minor Drawbacks[/b]: -2 STR -2 DEX -2 CON -1 to all saves (it's too easy to avoid if it's -2 to one save) -2 to AC -2 to all attack rolls 1/2 base movement speed Fatigued for remainder of encounter Trance duration decreases by 3 rounds Requires standard action to enter trance Cannot voluntarily end trance Take (1d6 + 1 per character level or HD) Subdual damage when trance wears off [b]Bonuses[/b]: Level 1: +2 to one of (STR / DEX / CON / Fort / Ref / Will) Level 5: Evasion (improves to Improved Evasion if you already have Evasion) +10' base movement Hardness 1 (like DR X/-, but against any source, including elemental spell damage, and stacks with any DR) Trance duration increases by 2 rounds Low-light vision x2 (if you already have low-light vision, increase the distance multiplier by 1) Level 9: +2 to one of (INT / WIS / CHA) Flurry (works on any weapon) Gain one temporary HP per character level when trance begins +1 to all skill checks Darkvision 30' (if you already have darkvision, increase distance by 30') Level 13: remove one Minor Drawback (cannot be selected multiple times) +2 to ranged attack rolls +2 to melee attack rolls May go into trance a number of additional times per day equal to your CHA modifier Mettle of Fortitude (as Evasion, for Fort saves) Mettle of Will (as Evasion, for Will saves) Level 17: +2 dodge AC +2 natural AC +2 melee damage Add 2 to one of STR, DEX, or CON, selected at the start of each trance activation Forgot to add: at level 1 it's 3 bonuses, 1 Major Drawback, and TWO Minor Drawbacks, not three.
