Alternate Class Features by Class
Bard
Remnant Song
Level: 6th
Replaces: Suggestion
Effect: Some bards study the lore of the remnant casters, and, with the help of Valdoran melodies, apply what they learn to their own magic. Starting at 6th level, you may expend a daily use of your Bardic Music class feature to cast several spells as a single standard action. None of the spells cast can have a casting time greater than a standard action normally, and the combined spell level of all of the spells you cast cannot exceed 1/2 your Bard level (0th-level spells count as level 1/2 for this purpose).
Cleric
Piety
Level: 1st
Replaces: Turn or Rebuke Undead
Effect: You gain the Prayer ability, as the Divine Shard class feature, except that instead of exchanging a prepared remnant for a different one when you make a Prayer action, you instead change the spell in one of your spell slots to a different one of the same or lower effective level (after accounting for effects like metamagic feats). This alternate class feature does not grant other class abilities that pertain to Prayer such as Prayer (Divine Connection).
Remnant Power
Level: 1st
Replaces: Domain Granted Power
Effect: If there is a Divine Shard domain of the same name as one of your domains, you may lose the granted power of that domain and instead gain ability level I from the corresponding Divine Shard domain.
Divine Shard
Studious
Level: 6th, 12th, and 18th
Replaces: Cleric BAB, Good Fort Saves, d8 HD
Effect: Rather than fight, you prefer to study magic; this makes you more experienced in the magical arts but worse at aiming and taking hits. Your BAB becomes that of a Wizard, your Fortitude Save bonuses follow the worse progression, and your HD becomes d6 rather than d8. In exchange, you gain a tertiary domain, which grants you ability I at 6th level, II at 12th level, and III at 18th level.
Paladin
Piety
Level: 4th
Replaces: Turn or Rebuke Undead
Effect: You gain the Prayer ability, as the Divine Shard class feature, except that instead of exchanging a prepared remnant for a different one when you make a Prayer action, you instead change the spell in one of your spell slots to a different one of the same or lower effective level (after accounting for effects like metamagic feats). This alternate class feature does not grant other class abilities that pertain to Prayer such as Prayer (Divine Connection).
Remnant Mage
Counterspell
Level: 3rd, 9th, and 15th
Replaces: Trace Spell, Convert Spell, Recreate Spell
Effect: Some Remnant Mages study regular magic not for the purpose of building and breaking spells but merely to stop their enemies from using it against them. You gain Counterspell, Improved Counterspell, and Immediate Counterspell, as the Magician abilities.
Rogue
Stolen Secret
Level: 10th, 13th, 16th, and/or 19th
Replaces: Special Ability
Effect: Magicians guard their secrets carefully... but there is nothing that a master Rogue can't steal. A Rogue can learn the Magician's Secrets Incredible Movement, Repel Touch, or Quick Learner, using her Rogue level in place of Magician level, in place of one of her special abilities.
Wizard
Spellform Knowledge
Level: 5th, 10th, 15th, and/or 20th
Replaces: Bonus Feat
Effect: Wizards generally seek to increase their magical reportoire, even if that means delving into more obscure types of magic like remnant magic. Rather than gaining a bonus feat on a level divisible by 5, you may instead add a spellform to your spellbook as a spell of level equal to its effective level. You may only learn a spellform in this way if it is possible to cast it using as component remnants only remnants from the Remnant Mage class list. When casting the spell, you do not need to supply component remnants, but you must still include visual and auditory components.
