Nifft's Racial Paragon Classes


Drow Paragon


BAB: 3/4 (as Rogue)
Good Save: Reflex
HD: d6
Skills (4+Int): Athletics (Str), Craft (Int), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge (all)(Int), Perception (Wis), Profession (Wis), Spellcraft (Int), Stealth (Dex), and Survival (Wis).

Level 1: Poison Use, Spell-Like Abilities, Vermin Companion
Level 2: Spell Resistance +4, Spellcasting +1 level
Level 3: Ability Boost (Dex +2), Spellcasting +1 level

Weapon and Armor Proficiency
Drow paragons are proficient with all simple weapons, rapiers, longswords, and hand crossbows, and with light armor.

Poison Use (Ex): A drow paragon is trained in the use of poison and never risks accidentally poisoning herself when applying poison to a blade.

Improved Spell-Like Abilities (Sp): At 1st level, a drow paragon gains one additional daily use of each of her innate spell-like abilities.

Vermin Companion (Ex): If a drow paragon already has a familiar or animal companion (or both), she may add her levels of drow paragon to the class(es) that granted her that creature, so long as the creature is a spider*.

If drow paragon is taken as the character's first level, then she instead gains the Wild Cohort feat, with the following modification: her Wild Cohort is always a monstrous spider* which is treated as an animal of Int 2 for the purpose of tricks. She uses this table to determine the size of vermin available, remembering that she is treated as 3 levels lower than a Druid of her HD.

*) If you are playing in Eberron, this feature would apply to scorpions instead of spiders.

Spellcasting: At 2nd and 3rd level, a female drow paragon gains new spells per day as if she had also gained a level in cleric. A male drow paragon instead gains new spells per day as if he had gained a level of wizard. The paragon does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained (bonus metamagic feats, and so on). This essentially means that the character adds the level of drow paragon to her level in cleric or wizard, then determines spells per day and caster level accordingly.

If the drow paragon is female and has no levels in cleric, or is male and has no levels in wizard, this class feature has no effect.

Spell Resistance (Su): At 2nd level, a drow paragon's racial spell resistance improves by +4.

Ability Boost (Ex): At 3rd level, a drow paragon's Dexterity score increases by 2 points.


== == ==

Dwarf Paragon

Prerequisites: character level 1 or Earth Sense

Good Save: Fort

Level 2: Earthblood, Save Bonus, Tough as Granite DR 1/--
Level 3: Ability boost (Con +2), Improved Earth Sense

Weapon and Armor Proficiency
Dwarf paragons are proficient with all simple and martial weapons, with light, medium, and heavy armor, and with shields (but not with tower shields).

Craft Expertise (Ex): A dwarf paragon may add his class level as a racial bonus on all Appraise, Craft, Disable Device, Open Locks, and Sunder checks related to stone or metal items or objects.

Earth Sense: If dwarf paragon is taken as your first character level, you gain Earth Sense (RoS) as a bonus feat. If not, you must possess Earth Sense before you can enter this class.

Improved Stonecunning (Ex): At 1st level, a dwarf paragon's racial bonus on Search checks to notice unusual stonework increases to +4. The range at which he receives an automatic Search check for coming near an example of unusual stonework increases to 20 feet. Also, he can intuit where true north lies in relation to himself (as if he had 5 ranks in Survival) whenever underground.

Earthblood: At 2nd level, a dwarf paragon gains new spells per day (and spells known if applicable) as if he had also gained a level in Cleric or Sorcerer. He does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained (domains, familiar, etc.). This essentially means that he adds the level of dwarf paragon to his level in Cleric or Sorcerer, then determines spells per day and caster level accordingly.

If the character previously had no spellcasting, he does now.

Save Bonus (Ex): A 2nd-level dwarf paragon's racial bonus on saves against poison and against spells and spell-like effects increases by +2.

If the character did not previously have levels in either Cleric or Sorcerer, then he picks either Cleric or Sorcerer, and gains spellcasting as if he had one level of that class (but no other benefits of that class).

If the character had levels in both, then he must pick one or the other to advance.

Tough as Granite (Ex): A dwarf paragon gains untyped damage reduction (DR 1/--). This damage reduction stacks with all other untyped damage reduction.

Improved Earth Sense (Ex): A 3rd-level dwarf paragon can gain the benefit of the Earth Sense feat by expending a Swift action instead of a Move action.

Ability Boost (Ex): At 3rd level, a dwarf paragon's Constitution score increases by 2 points.

If not, you must possess Weapon Focus for an apprporpate weapon before you can enter this class. This feat must apply to either the rapier, longsword, shortsword, shortbow, longbow, composite shortbow, or composite longbow.

Elfsight (Ex): An elf paragon has exceptional visual acuity. Her racial bonus on Perception and Search checks increases to +4.

Mithral Casting (Ex): At 2nd level, an elf paragon can ignore arcane spell failure and druid class restrictions with respect to mithral chain shirts and mithral bucklers.

Elven Weapon Mastery (Ex): At 2nd level, if an elf paragon has any feat which applies to one elven weapon (rapier, longsword, shortsword, shortbow, longbow, composite shortbow, or composite longbow), the elf paragon gains the benefits of that feat for every elven weapon.

Spellcasting: At 2nd and 3rd level, an elf paragon gains new spells per day as if she had also gained a level in druid or wizard. She does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained (bonus metamagic feats, and so on). This essentially means that she adds the level of elf paragon to her level in druid or wizard, then determines spells per day and caster level accordingly.

If a character had more than one spellcasting class before she became an elf paragon, she must decide to which class she adds the level of elf paragon. If an elf paragon has no levels in druid or wizard, this class feature has no effect.

Ability Boost (Ex): At 3rd level, an elf paragon chooses either Intelligence or Dexterity. The chosen ability score increases by 2 points.

This essentially means that he adds the level of gnome paragon to his level in bard or wizard, then determines spells per day, spells known, and caster level accordingly.

If a character had more than one spellcasting class before she became a gnome paragon, she must decide to which class she adds the level of gnome paragon. If a gnome paragon has no levels in bard or wizard, this class feature has no effect.

Treat a goblin paragon's wolf as though it were the animal companion of a Druid whose class level were equal to the goblin paragon's character level. At character level 7, the goblin paragon may instead choose to gain the service of a dire wolf, again just like a druid whose class level were equal to the goblin's character level.

She does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained (bonus metamagic or item creation feats, bard or assassin abilities, and so on). This essentially means that she adds the level of half-elf paragon to the level in the spellcasting class, then determines spells per day, spells known, and caster level accordingly.

If the character had more than one spellcasting class before she became a half-elf paragon, she must decide to which class she adds the level of half-elf paragon. If a half-elf paragon has no levels in a spellcasting class, this class feature has no effect.

Rage (Ex): At 2nd level, a half-orc paragon comes to understand and draw upon the natural ferocity that courses through his blood. He gains the ability to fly into a screaming blood frenzy once per day (or one additional time per day, if he already has a rage ability). The effect of this ability is identical with the effect of a barbarian's rage ability. If a half-orc paragon has improved rage abilities (such as the barbarian class features greater rage, indomitable will, tireless rage, or mighty rage), those improvements apply to the rage ability granted by the half-orc paragon class as well.

Natural Fury: At 2nd level, a half-orc paragon gains new spells per day as if he had also gained a level in Cleric or Druid. He does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained (domains, animal companion, etc.).

If the character did not previously have levels in either Cleric or Druid, then he picks either Cleric or Druid, and gains spellcasting as if he had one level of that class (but no other benefits of that class).

If the character had levels in both, then he must pick one or the other to advance.

Terrorize (Ex): At 3rd level, a half-orc paragon learns to channel her inner fury to demoralize her foes. She can make an Intimidate check to Demoralize any favored enemy, or any foe whom she struck in melee combat this turn, as a Swift action.

This includes thrown melee weapons like daggers even when used in melee.

Spellcasting: At 2nd level, a halfling paragon gains new spells per day (and spells known, if applicable) as if he had also gained a level in a spellcasting class he belonged to before adding the level. He does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained (bonus metamagic or item creation feats, bard or assassin abilities, and so on). This essentially means that he adds the level of halfling paragon to the level in the spellcasting class, then determines spells per day, spells known, and caster level accordingly.

Overflowing Courage (Ex): At 3rd level, a halfling paragon becomes immune to fear and [Fear] effects. If the halfling paragon has (or later gains) an aura of courage, double the radius of that aura.

This essentially means that he adds the level of human paragon to the level in the spellcasting class, then determines spells per day, spells known, and caster level accordingly.

Bonus Feat (Ex): At 2nd level, a human paragon gains a bonus feat. Due to the varied talents and adaptable nature of humans, this feat can be any feat for which the human paragon is qualified (he is not restricted to a special list of bonus feats).

I showed these to our DM when I first saw the post and he agreed that we would use them as our new standard  :clap

I just called him and he agreed we could add +1 Cleric to the Dwarf Class (I tried to get him to add Druid but he wouldn't bite)  :P

Nah, that's a bit overboard. But +1 level would be fine.

I showed these to our DM when I first saw the post and he agreed that we would use them as our new standard  :clap

Hell yes.

I added +1 Cleric (or Sorcerer) casting to the Dwarf.

Halfling gets +1 anything casting.

Half-orc gets +1 Cleric or Druid.
