Ideas for more feats

Everyone can edit threads that they themselves have started on the old boards. This includes other peoples' posts.

Martial Adepts, martial disciplines, and class skills.

In order to facilitate homebrew disciplines that swap out for existing discipline access, the skill lists of martial adepts will be split into two parts.

Class Skills: The skill granted in and of the class itself.
Discipline Skills: The key skills of disciplines it has access to.

A character's skill list is the union of the two when taking levels in that class.
If a discipline is lost or traded out, it's key skill is removed from the Disipline skill list for that class, but not the Class skill list.

The following changes will be made for ToB classes (haven't done PrCs yet). The listed skills are no longer on the classes' class skill lists (although characters taking levels in them still get them as class skills due to the discipline skill lists).
Crusader: Lose Balance.
Swordsage: Lose nothing.
Warblade: Lose Diplomacy.

Jade Phoenix Mage: Lose Diplomacy and Tumble.
Ruby Knight Vindicator: Lose Balance and Hide.
Shadow Sun Ninja:
Bloodclaw Master: Lose nothing.
Deepstone Sentinel: Lose nothing.
Eternal Blade:
Bloodstorm Blade: N/A
Master of Nine: Lose Diplomacy, Hide, and Sense Motive.

The wording does imply an intent to allow taking 15 when threatened (at least by my reading; it says what you have to do and when you can do it, while the part about being like taking 10 seems more like an afterthought tacked on to help explain the effects, rather than an addition to the requirements; this might be wishful thinking). However, my quick reading of the ability (under the Concentration skill) in the SRD didn't turn up any explicit contradictions to the limitations of taking 10.

Quote from: Satori on November 20, 2011, 03:23:55 AM

Has no one else noticed that you can blow your psionic focus to 'take 15' on concentration, which makes that 'blow focus for +5' thing kinda useless.  Take 15 is better in 99.9 percent of situations.

i guess it depends on how many ranks you have? after all, take 15 is less than if you have 10 ranks, get a plus 5, and roll even a 1.

Take 15 means you're treated as rolling a 15 on the die, not that you get a final result of 15. You just replace the +1d20 component of your check result with a +15.

Taking 15 is even with blowing the focus for a +5 bonus when you're in a position to take 10 (15+0 vs. 10+5) if that's enough to hit the target DC. If it isn't, the mantle's +5 bonus on a roll is obviously superior (since taking 15 does nothing for you in that case). Blowing the focus to take 15 does have the advantage under stressful situations to auto-succeed on low- to mid-DC checks, but it bases itself on taking 10 and does not explicitly allow you to take 10 (er, 15) when threatened or distracted, so this might be unusable. In that case, Repose Mantle's ability (spend focus for +5) is obviously superior.

Cybernetics Mantle


Powers

Nanotheurge Prestige Class

Dual Cybernetic/Divine PrC

Basically, I wanted to make a PrC with an ability called Deus in Machina, and I still needed a Divine/Cybernetic dual progression PrC.
9/10 progression on both sides. (I'll probably go back over the previous dual progression classes and set them up the same way some day. Denying 9ths just isn't fun.)

   Skills: Computer Use 8 ranks, Craft (Any) 2 ranks, Knowledge (Relgion) 6 ranks
   Activating: Must be able to activate three modules; must be able to attach a module to a hard-point.
   Spellcasting: Must be able to cast 2nd-level or higher Divine spells.
   Domains: Must have access to the Cybernetics domain or must have no freely chosen domains. A character with access to a domain chosen from a specific list that did not contain the Cybernetics domain, or granted a specific domain by a class feature or other ability, is not disqualified.
   Special: Must follow an ideal, not a deity.

Class skills (2 + Int modifier per level): Computer Use, Concentration, Craft, Diplomacy, Knowledge (religion), Knowledge (the planes), Profession, Sense Motive, Spellcraft. A Nanotheurge with any domains adds skills granted by them to his Nanotheurge class list as though they were Cleric levels.

Suit Armor: The armor bonus granted by the Power Suit you form and use increases by the amount listed on the table above.

Suit-Forming: At each Nanotheurge level, with the exception of 6th level, you increase your suit-former level, the number of modules you can activate, the number of hard-point attachments you can have, and your energy pool as if you had gained a level in a suit-forming class to which you belonged prior to gaining the Nanotheurge level. You do not, however, gain any other abilities of that class, such as new tiers of hard-points. If you had more than one suit-forming class before becoming a Nanotheurge, you must decide to which class to add each level for the purpose of determining your energy pool, suit-former level, and number of modules and hard-point attachments available.

Spellcasting: At each level except 4th, you gain new spells per day and an increase in caster level (and spells known, if applicable) as if you had also gained a level in a divine spellcasting class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level. You do not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If you had more than one divine spellcasting class before becoming a Nanotheurge, you must decide to which class to add each level for the purpose of determining spells per day, caster level, and spells known.

Cybernetic Ascension (Ex): Just as the gods once created life within the planes, that life created machines. In turn, the machines may one day create gods.
   Starting at 1st level, you begin your divine ascension. You can invest energy into this ability as a module. Its capacity is equal to half your Nanotheurge level (minimum 1), to a maximum of 4 at level 8. Effects other than Deus in Machina that would alter the energy capacity of this ability instead do not.
   You gain resistance to effects that would change your form or your mind unwillingly, granting you a bonus on saving throws against mind-affecting effects and Transmutation spells (or other effects that would alter your form) equal to twice the amount of energy invested in this ability.
   Beginning at 3rd level, you gain resistance to ability damage, ability drain, and energy drain. Any ability damage, ability drain, or negative levels that you would gain from any effect is reduced by the amount of energy invested in this ability. This only applies if the energy is invested as the effect occurs.
   Beginning at 5th level, you gain the ability to spontaneously cast spells from any domain you possess. This functions similarly to a good cleric's ability to spontaneously cast cure spells, except that you cast spells from your domains and that you cannot spontaneously cast a spell that would take up a spell slot greater than twice the amount of energy invested in this ability.
   Beginning at 7th level, you gain spell resistance and damage reduction as long as any energy is invested in this ability. This spell resistance is equal to 22 plus twice the amount of energy invested. The damage reduction is equal to twice the amount of energy invested in this module and can only be overcome by Epic weapons, and allows your natural weapons to bypass damage reduction as epic weapons. Additionally, this benefit applies to any weapons you wield that were created by your modules and any attack or effect resulting from one of your modules.
   Beginning at 10th level, you attain a measure of immortality. You do not suffer penalties from aging, do not need to eat, sleep, or breathe, and are not subject to death from old age or massive damage. These benefits apply even if you have no energy invested in this ability.

Divine Portfolio (Ex): Starting at 1st level, your levels in divine spellcasting classes, activating classes, and Nanotheurge stack to determine your effective Cleric level for your domains. Your Nanotheurge levels and all subsequent levels in divine spellcasting classes and activating classes count as Cleric levels for the purpose of benefiting from any domains you possess (such as the addition of class skills).
   At 4th level, you gain access to the Cybernetics domain. If you already have access to that domain, you can select another domain that keeps with your ideals. If you do not already have access to a domain, you can cast each of its spells once per day (as described in Complete Divine).
   At 9th level, you can select a second domain to gain access to. This can be any domain that keeps with your ideals.

Hard-point Attachments: At 2nd level, you can attach modules to your Feet, Hands, Utility, and Visor hard-points. At 8th level, you can attach modules to your Back, Helmet, and Shielding hard-points.

Improved Energized Spellcasting (Ex): At 6th level, the energy capacity of all of your spells increases by 1 for the purposes of investing energy into them with Energized Spellcasting.

Deus in Machina (Su): At 10th level, your ascension to godhood is nearly complete. For short periods of time, you can grasp true divinity.
   Once per day, you can temporarily gain a Divine Rank of 0. You gain the following benefits in place of the normal benefits of having a Divine Rank of 0. If you already had a Divine Rank, your Divine Rank does not change and you can use the better of your own abilities and the ones granted by this effect.
   Your base land speed doubles (and any other movement speeds you have based on it may also be affected). You gain a deflection bonus to your armor class equal to your Charisma modifier and fire resistance 5. You are immune to polymorphing, petrification, or any other attack that alters your form. Any shape-altering powers that you might have work normally on yourself. Finally, your Cybernetic Ascension ability's energy capacity is increased by 1 and it is considered to be filled to its (newly improved) capacity.
   Activating this ability is a free action that can be done even when it is not your turn. It lasts for a number of rounds equal to your Nanotheurge level.

8.3   The new subtypes
   Creatures with the ability to form Power Suits, the ability to activate modules, an energy pool, or any Suit or System feats have the Cybernetic subtype. On its own this subtype has no effect, but it may interact with other effects.
   Creatures with the Phazon Subtype are infused with and resistant to the effects of Phazon. They gain Phazon resistance 5 and DR 5/magic. They are immune to the sickened condition. However, creatures with the Phazon subtype suffer a -2 penalty to all Will saves.
