[3.5] [Base Class] [Mythos] Philothusia/Phileotheysia Excellencies

[Draco Dei]

I am uploading these because my hard-drive may or MAY NOT be crashing. They are more up-to-date than what is on GitP, but are unfinished, and may contain outright errors, especially in terms of omissions in the "Sequel(s)" portions. Balance may also be ill-considered due to lack of rereading.

(click to show/hide)

An Ounce of Prevention
Prerequisite: Heal 4 ranks (1 PF)
You may use Purify Food and Drink as an extraordinary ability at will. You may similarly use Prestidigitation, but only to clean things and beings, however such cleaning fully disinfects the target object, or exterior of a creature (including the full surfaces of cuts or puncture wounds that haven't scabbed over yet).
 
You gain a bonus equal to half your Phileotheysia on heal checks to perform preventive medicine. Clarification: None of the uses of the heal skill listed in the DMG qualify. This bonus also applies to disease prevention even outside of the heal skill, for instance Architecture and Engineering to design a more efficient sewer system, analyzing the location of a city to determine if malaria is likely to be a problem based on its relative position to a swamp, or even a diplomacy check to convince insular villagers to come to the travelling clinic, rather than sticking to the healers of their own clan.
 
Of course, such active powers are not always sufficient to go where your are needed, since you can’t be much help if you have to pause for a few seconds before touching every new object, let alone if you can’t even breath the air near those who need your help. Therefore your body hardens itself against certain threats. You gain a +4 bonus against ingested/contact poisons/diseases and against inhaled diseases.
*This save bonus does not apply against nominally contact poisons and diseases delivered via injury except if they are either by accident or from mundane diseases that induce aggression, such as rabies.

Danger-Analyzing Fortification Technique
Prerequisite: An Ounce of Prevention (Excellency), Heal 5 ranks (2 PF), Access to Fantastic Phileotheysia Mythoi.
 
Knowing your enemy is key to protecting against a repeated problem.
 
You may take 10 on heal checks to diagnose poisons and diseases based on their effects.
 
You may voluntarily forgo any immunities to poison and disease and fail your saving throw against a poison or disease you that you are exposed to via one of its vectors. If you do this then it immediately affects you. Thus you take the secondary damage of a poison if that poison lacks primary damage, or a disease’s incubation period is reduced to nothing, and you take its ill effects. If you do so then you automatically identify it.
 
In addition, by examining at least two separate wounds from a particular type of natural weapon of a given species of a given size class for one minute, or such wounds from a specific manufactured weapon wielded by a specific individual, you may grant yourself and all you spend 10 minutes explaining the matter to damage reduction against that specific category of threats (a specific type of natural weapon of a particular species of a particular size class, or a specific manufactured weapon wielded by a specific person). If both wounds are on yourself, and you have not recovered any ill effects of the type inflicted by those attacks when performing this explanation, then the damage reduction is equal to your current level. Otherwise, it is half this amount. Against such threats treat this as DR X/-. This protection lasts a number of days equal to twice your Phileotheysia level before small alterations in technique and/or physical structure render your incredibly specific advice moot.



Dangerous Personage Detecting Alertness
Prerequisites:
-May not be True Neutral.
-Bonuses from ranks, wisdom BONUS (if any), and feats to Sense Motive totalling to at least +7 (still +7 in PF, but the +3 for it being is a class skill counts towards this if you have the required 1 rank in it to get that bonus).
 
Knowing who to trust can be vital in telling those who would harm your allies from those who would aid them. You have developed a literal sixth sense about such matters.
 
You automatically detect the presence or absence of animate creatures with any alignment component opposed* to at least one of your own within up to 5’xCharisma Bonus. If you do not have a charisma bonus of at least +1 then this effect instead has a range of touch. You may elect to treat your charisma as being lower than it actually is for purposes of this excellency. Changing your effective charisma (including back to your full charisma) requires a full-round action and may only be done once per round.
Pro Tip: This reduction allows filtering out “noise” by narrowing scope.
*Reminder: Good and Evil oppose eachother, as do Law and Chaos. Neutrality on a given axis is opposed to and by nothing.
 
This ability does not require line of sight and covers a full sphere, regardless of where you are looking, but does not have the Detect {Alignment} family of spells' ability to penetrate barriers, unless you also have Friend and Furtive Foe Finding Field. Other critical divergences are that it never carries the risk of being stunned, but does not allow determining the strength of the auras, detect lingering auras, nor work on inanimate things (such as an Unholy Longsword+1, or a Hallow spell) unless you also have Threat-Level Assessing Clarity of Vision (see that Excellency for details).

On the plus side you are not at risk of being stunned or having this ability ended by an "Overwhelming" aura. This remains true regardless of what, if any, sequel excellencies you have.

This effect may be fooled by anything that could fool the matching Detect {Alignment} spell(s).
 
This effect gains various bonuses based on your Phileotheysia level, some of which only occur when you concentrate on it as a swift, move, or standard action.
 
At Phileotheysia levels 1 to 3 such concentration allows you to determine the number of such creatures with each alignment you can detect within range. Thus a Lawful Good Phileotheysia standing in the middle of a crowd might be able to determine that there were 5 evil and 3 chaotic individuals within as a single action, but would not be able to discern the degree to which the two groups might or might not overlap.
 
At Phileotheysia levels 4 and above all benefits of the above paragraph are now continuous rather than requiring concentration, and concentrating determines the location of each of the auras in question as if concentrating for 3 rounds on the matching Detect {Alignment} spell(s).
 
This excellency counts as any detect Detect {Alignment} spells it relates to as divine spells and also as spell-like abilities for purposes of pre-requisites, feats, etc. For instance, if you are Good then you could use this to qualify for a prestige class that required the ability to cast 1st level divine spells, one that required the ability to cast Detect Evil as an SLA (probably designed for paladins), and it could be enhanced by a hypothetical feat that increases the range of Detect Evil ten-fold.

Sequels: Friend and Furtive Foe Finding Field (Excellency), Threat-Level Assessing Clarity of Vision (Excellency)



Danger-removing Gnome-Skilled Orcish Trap-Detector[Skillful Protector]
Prerequisite: -
You add Disable Device and Search to the Phileotheysia class skill list, HOWEVER ranks in those skills from Phileotheysia class levels only apply to locating and disarming traps (including for determining if you count as trained in those skills). You gain Trap Sense as a rogue of your Phileotheysia level plus your levels in all other classes that grant that class feature. Finally, you gain the Trapfinding class feature as a rogue, however you are incapable of bypassing traps without disarming them unless you also have either Sheepdog in Wolf’s Clothing Mastery OR Quiet Mother Betrays Not Her Brood, OR have the Trapfinding class feature from another class.
Sequels: -



Distract the Implacable Hunter
Prerequisites: Expert Distraction and Helpful Servant Unfailing Reliability
When making a feint that would cause the target to lose their dexterity bonus against one or more allies, rather than yourself, you do not take any penalty for creature types and may do so against even mindless creatures.
(Normally you take a -4 when trying to bluff a non-humanoid, or -8 for a creature of 1 or 2 intelligence, and it is impossible against mindless creatures.)
Sequels: -



Dutiful Watchman Alertness[Skillful Protector]
Prerequisite: -
You add Spot and Listen to the Phileotheysia skill list, gain Alertness as a bonus feat, and gain a +2 bonus on saves versus sleep and fascination. You may substitute your charisma bonus for your wisdom bonus when making Spot and Listen checks. ???If you would otherwise sleep naturally, you now trance as if you were an elf.???  ((and/or)) ???Low-Light Vision???
 
You also add Forgery to the Phileotheysia skill list, but unless you also have Ever-Silent Unseen Guardian Spirit {Becomes Gaze-Drawing Banshee To Distract the Foe Duality} (Excellency, and regardless of if it is appended), Sheepdog in Wolf’s Clothing Mastery (Excellency), or Demonstration of the True Path Subtlety(Exceptional Mythos) then ranks in this skill from Phileotheysia skill points do not count for any purpose except when attempting to discover a forgery. This does include whether or not you count as trained in the skill.
 
Regardless you may take 10 on Forgery skill checks to detect forgeries even when stressed or distracted.

Sequels: Eagle-Eyed Gargoyle-Sentry Technique (Excellency) , Timely-Warning Oracle’s Words (Exalted Mythos) , Co-Existent Planar Interception (Exalted Mythos)



Eagle-Eyed Gargoyle-Sentry Technique
Prerequisite: Dutiful Watchman Alertness (Excellency)
 
You no longer need to sleep, but you still must rest to recover spells in some classes (such as wizard). You may take 10 on Spot and Listen Checks. You may use Extended See Invisibility as an extraordinary ability at the cost of one point of damage to any mental ability score (choose which one each time you use this option). If you instead take a point of ability burn* to each of your mental ability scores then this effect persists as long as the burns do.

If you do not move from the square(s) you occupy for 1 full round, you gain Blindsense 10’, and Darkvision 60' (If you already have Darkvision its range doubles). These two benefits last until you move from your location.
 
*Yes, this is a pre-existing thing. It is ability score reduction that nothing but natural healing with the passage of time can cure. Check the Psionics areas of the SRD.
Sequels: Co-Existent Planar Interception (Exalted Mythos)
 


Ever-Silent Unseen Guardian Spirit {Becomes Gaze-Drawing Banshee To Distract the Foe Duality} (The phrasing in curly brackets is only appended to the name if you have the Hydra-Baiting Broken-Wing-Feigning Mother-Bird Technique Mythos)
Prerequisite: Quiet Mother Betrays Not the Her Brood (Excellency)
Your stealth has become sure. You are highly unlikely to be the one who betrays your band with an errant sound or incautious movement that draws the eye. Also, when hiding places or spells of concealment are at a premium, you may leave them for your allies, drawing the strength of your convictions around you like a concealing cloak.
 
{If Appended:
Of course, when a distraction is needed, you can transform that cloak into the brightly feathered garments of an exotic circus performer.}
 
You may take 10 on Hide and Move Silently checks regardless of stress or distraction. As long as you are within 10’ of an ally who is using cover or concealment to hide, you are considered to have concealment for the purposes of hide checks. If your phileotheysia level is at least 5 then invisible allies count as using concealment to hide for this purpose. If your phileotheysia level is at least 9 then when under the effects of hide checks under the provisions of the previous sentence you also may elect to also be under the effects of an Invisibility spell with caster level equal to your phileotheysia level, an effective spell level from 2 to half your phileotheysia level rounded up as selected by you when the specific instance of the effect begins, and a duration continuing for as long as you continue to be hiding and within 10’ of such an ally, or until broken as per the restrictions of that spell. If broken/dispelled/etc making another hide check can renew the Invisibility effect.
 
If you also have (regardless of the order you acquired them in) Hydra-Baiting Broken-Wing-Feigning Mother-Bird Technique then you may roll a hide and/or move silently check as a single move action and multiply the check result(s) by NEGATIVE one while also automatically cancelling any invisibility effects on yourself ONLY (if that same effect has other targets they remain invisible even if one person breaking the effect would normally break it for everyone). This requires a sense motive check equal to DOUBLE the original (positive) value of the hide check to discern as an intentional attempt to draw attention to yourself, otherwise usually seeming as outrageous misfortune for you or great skill on the part of those detecting you. This effect is regardless of your phileotheysia level or the locations and actions of your allies. You do not need cover or concealment when attempting a hide check in this manner. The effect lasts until you decide to discontinue it to a maximum of a number of rounds equal to your charisma score or Phileotheysia level, whichever is less. After this you would need to spend another move action to renew it.
OPTIONAL, but enhances: Dutiful Watchman Alertness (Excellency) , Hydra-Baiting Broken-Wing-Feigning Mother-Bird Technique (Exceptional Mythos)



Expert Distraction
Prerequisites:Helpful Servant Unfailing Reliability
Sometimes the best way to rescue someone is to give them a chance to rescue themselves. Offense may not be your particular skill-set, but it does have many things to recommend it, else it wouldn’t be so popular.
You gain Improved Feint as a bonus feat.
 
When feinting in combat you may substitute 3+Phileotheysia level (PF: technically the 3 points are from it counting as a class skill in this case, rather than from the ranks themselves) for your ranks in the bluff skill. However, if you do so, and, at your option, even if you don’t, on a success the target of your feint counts is denied their dexterity bonus against the next attack of a single ally you select at the time of the feint, rather than against yourself. This attack must be made on or before your next turn to gain this benefit.
 
If your Phileotheysia level is at least 6 then, regardless of if you use the skill rank substitution you may select a number of enemies that you could make a feint against, PLUS a number of allies totalling to ⅓ your charisma score or less. You may select a given ally more than once, but each time you do counts separately against the limit. Make a single feint attempt against all selected enemies in your reach (they roll their sense motive attempts separately). Each enemy you succeed against becomes flat-footed against each ally you selected for a number of attacks within one round equal to the number of times you selected that ally. This benefit only applies on attacks made on or before your next turn. You may only use version of this ability this ability once per round, and it is a move or standard action that provokes attacks of opportunity. You may not otherwise feint on the same round you use this ability.
Sequels: Distract the Implacable Hunter (Excellency)



Faithful Steed Bond
Prerequisites:

• Most Proximate Companion Protecting Dedication
  
• Skillful Nomad Burdens Not The Tribe Lifestyle OR Mounted Combat feat.
  
• Ride 5 ranks (2 PF)

Select one mount you have had for at least a month. That mount loses the ability to make attacks while you are conscious and either of you is within the other’s reach, but you may dismiss and resummon it as if it were a paladin’s mount (but with no limit on duration or per-day frequency). It  returns if killed like a paladin’s (after a year and a day for 3.X, different for PF).
 
If your non-zero levels in any class that grants a special mount or fiendish servant (for example: blackguard) exceed the level of that other class where you would gain a special mount, then you may choose to treat the mount you selected for this feat as if it were that special mount (if you do so you lose access to the separate special mount from that class).
 
If you have no such levels, but do have at least 5 levels of phileotheysia then you may treat your phileotheysia levels as paladin levels if good. If you are Evil then this also applies, but the special mount is instead technically a fiendish servant. Despite this, you use the chart for the paladin’s mount, except with “Speak with Phileotheysia” (cf Speak with Blackgaurd) AND Blood Bond replacing “Command Animals of its Kind”. Morally neutral phileotheysia may choose either the Good or Evil version of this ability.
 
Any feats or class features that would normally grant a different type of mount (for instance a paladin taking a feat that grants a dragon as a special mount at a penalty to effective class level for the special mount class feature) instead transforms the mount into its new form. This taking of a new form usually takes a week or two with appropriate thematics (such as a horse suddenly developing silk glands and somehow managing to climb the tallest oak for a hundred miles around to spin a cocoon that glows with the light of the sun and moon before emerging a week later as a dragonel). Despite this, it is considered an instantaneous effect for purposes of over-riding or reversing it (probably much like Reincarnation but without the randomness or level loss). In more fast-paced campaigns, the GM may allow much quicker transformations.
 
All choices related to this excellency become permanent at the point you individually choose them. The sole exceptions to this are that a Phileotheysia who has a paladin’s mount and becomes Evil, or has a fiendish servant and becomes Good converts their mount’s status to the one that befits their new alignment for as long as they retain that alignment. If they later lose the alignment in question then their mount reverts to its previous status from before they gained that alignment. This transformation to the mount can happen as often as the above conditions in this paragraph apply.
 
Your bonus on Concentration checks caused by a moving mount increases to +10.
 
As a final bonus, damage to the mount designated by this excellency from a forced march or being spurred is subdual rather than lethal, provided you remain within 10’ of it for at least 95% of the time of the period of time for which that specific instance of damage was incurred.

Filth-Removing Assistant to the Masters
Prerequisite: -
You may assist with the creation of any magic item, regardless of pre-requisites. The limits on activity levels, working time, etc apply to you as normal. The other worker(s) must be able to meet all pre-requisites (except XP available, which doesn't matter either way) to allow this to work. The only benefit of this is that you may contribute XPs towards the XP cost of the item. Most importantly this means that you may not actually work towards the completion of the item. Any magic item creation process that does not have a sufficient amount of total XPs contributed to it fails as if it was abandoned before it was complete.

You may also provide part or all of the XP component of any spell cast by an ally that you are touching for the entire casting time. This donation may not be coerced in any way.

You gain a crafting reserve (as per the artificer class feature) that may ONLY be used for the above two purposes in any combination. Track this crafting reserve (actually two separate sub-pools, see below) seperately from any other crafting reserve(s) you might have, for instance if you also have levels of artificer.

Rather than rising to a specified level when you reach a new level, this reserve gains increases by 1 point for every 50 experience points you gain. Note that this does NOT reduce your XP gains. ((Basically double gains if you dip this then go Artificer afterward would be a problem... maybe you have to declarfe what your next level will be, and you only get this if it will be Phileothyesia?))If you have at least one Legendary Phileotheysia mythos this is instead 1 per 20 experience points gained. If you have at least one Exalted Phileotheysia Mythos it is instead 1 per 5 XPs gained. Points gained in this way are lost when you gain a level of any class OTHER than Phileotheysia. ((Is this last clause necessary? It is meant to prevent dipping from becoming any more attractive than it already is.))

With regards to items that have at least one opposite alignment component to your own alignment you also gain the Artificer's Retain Essence class feature (ECS p. 32), usable as if you had all item creation feats (including psionic, martial script, etc). These points are NOT lost when you gain a level, regardless of class. If you also have a craft reserve from another class, track the pool for Phileotheysia separately (but you may still draw from both of them if you wish for any given project they could individually be used for).

Friend and Furtive Foe Finding Field
Prerequisites:
-May not be True Neutral.
-Bonuses from ranks, wisdom BONUS (if any), and feats to Sense Motive totalling to at least +7 (still +7 in PF, but the +3 for it being a class skill counts towards this).
-Dangerous Personage Detecting Alertness (Excellency)
 
This excellency improves its prerequisite excellency, allowing detection of alignment components you possess in addition to the opposed alignments you could already detect. If you also have Threat-Level Assessing Clarity of Vision then that is also enhanced.
 
You may swap between detecting all alignment components you yourself have, or none of them* as a move, standard, or swift action, and there is no limit on how often you may make this swap as long as you have actions to spend.
*Meaning you only detect opposed alignments.
 
In addition all detection abilities from this pair/trio of excellencies can now penetrate barriers, but 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt blocks it.
 
As before, this excellency counts as the matching Detect {Alignment} spells for many purposes. See the final paragraph of Dangerous Personage Detecting Alertness for details.

Helpful Servant Unfailing Reliability
Prerequisite: -
When making a skill check or to-hit roll to Aid Another you may always take 10, regardless of stress or distractions. This does not allow you to use "trained only" skills that you do not have skill ranks in.
 
At 6th level the bonus on attack roll applies to all attacks by the selected ally on the selected enemy for the next round. or the bonus to AC applies to all attacks by the selected enemy on the selected ally for a similar period. The bonus on skill checks increases to +3 if you accept a +3 to the DC of his aid-another check (regardless of if you take 10 on it).
 
At 10th level you gain several bonuses to Aid Another:
The bonus to skill checks may be increased to +4 if you accept a +6 to the DC of your aid-another check (regardless of if you take 10 on it).
All AC and to-hit bonuses from Aid-Another by you increase to +3.
When using the aid another combat action you may select one of the following options:
You may apply the bonus to all ranged attacks made by a single ally on the selected opponent. The ally does not need to be engaged in melee combat with the selected enemy, but the opponent must still be one you could make a melee attack on.
You may apply the basic TYPES of bonuses (AC or melee to-hit as the case may be) to an unlimited number of allies who meet the PHB requirements for being the recipient of the benefits of the aid another combat action.
 
At 15th level the bonus from the aid another combat action increases to +4 and the bonus from the aid another use of skills increases by +1 regardless of whether you use any of the other ways that this ability allows him to increase the bonus granted. This means that when going against a DC 10 skill check you provides a +3 bonus, a successful DC 13 check yields a +4 bonus, and a successful DC 16 skill check grants a +5 bonus to the person being aided.
In addition, once per day, you may take 20 on one or the other sort of aid another check without increasing the time required.
 
At 20th level the bonus from the from the aid another combat action increases to +4 and the bonus from the aid another use of skills increases by a total of +2 regardless of whether you use any of the other ways that this ability allows him to increase the bonus granted. This means that when going against a DC 10 skill check the Phileotheysia provides a +4 bonus, a successful DC 13 check yields a +5 bonus, and a successful DC 16 skill check grants a +6 bonus to the person being aided.
 
You  may take 20 on any combination of 3 aid-another checks per day, instead of merely once per day, mixing freely between the combat action and the skill-use option. This still does not increase the amount of time required.

Humble Performer of Many Simple Tasks [Skillful Protector]x2*
*As a benefit of this Excellency, if you have maximum ranks in all skills gained via mythoi the [Skillful Protector] tag, you may spend any excess skill points without regard to the usual restriction on skill points from that tag.
Prerequisites:
- All your skill ranks must fall within the reduced maxima that this excellency imposes.
- May not be combined with the Dabbler trait.

Select two skills that can be used untrained. You add these to the Phileotheysia list of class skills. Alternatively you may gain Jack of All Trades (Complete Adventurer p.110) as a bonus feat.

Regardless of which you choose you also only require 3 ranks (PF 2, if PF even has synergy?) in a skill to gain a synergy bonus from it, rather than 5, provided you have at least 1 rank (PF: still 1) in the skill that the synergy bonus is granted TO.

Drawback
Your skill point maximum for class skills other than heal is 2+(3/4 level). Your skill point maximum for cross-class skills (again, other than heal) is (level+4)/3. This applies to all sources of skill points, not just Phileotheysia class levels.

In Pathfinder your skill bonus for class skills drops to +1 for things that are only class skills because of the Phileotheysia class skill list (including any additions you have to that list), for other classes the bonus is +2. Neither of these reductions applies to the heal skill.

Humble Provider Brings Home Bread, Strong Father Chases Wolf from Door[Skillful Protector]
Prerequisites: 4 ranks (PF 1) in Craft, Profession, OR Survival.
When you are working for the benefit of those you care about, every labor is a labor of love.
You add Appraise to the Phileotheysia skill list.
 
You may take 20 on all checks, regardless of which skill is being used, to analyze any given location for its suitability for long-term habitation without increasing the time required.

If Survival is a Phileotheysia class skill for you* then you gain the benefits in the following paragraph:
You may use your charisma modifier in place of your wisdom modifier for Survival, and may take 10 on Survival rolls to do any of the following: get along in the wild(foraging for food and water), gain/grant bonuses to saves against severe weather, keep from getting lost or avoid natural hazards, and predict the weather. You are also are treated as having the Track feat for the purposes of following game animals, tracking your allies, and/or following any creature that has attacked one of your allies within a number of days equal to your Phileotheysia level or less and may take 10 on all such checks.
*Naturally this includes if it later becomes such.
 

In order to gain any of the other benefits of this mythos you must forgo all bonuses from masterwork tools, competences bonuses, and aid-another bonuses in excess of one half your Phileotheysia level (minimum +2) on a given check. Decide this in each case before rolling the check(s) including any aid-another rolls.
 
You may substitute your charisma modifier for the usual ability score modifier on Appraise, Craft, and Profession.
 
You may take 10 on craft and profession checks to make items with a DC low enough that a roll of 6 would not fail. If the DC is low enough that even a natural 1 would not fail, then you may take 20 on that check without increasing the materials or time required (and thus usually sharply decreasing the time required). Both of these can apply to checks to earn money, provided items or services with a low enough DC are reasonably marketable in your current area.
 
Regardless of DC, if you have at least 4 ranks (PF 1) in Profession[Farmer] you may take 20 on any checks with that skill related to crops you have been regularly involved in the tending of since they were planted (or at least six full months for fruit trees and such that are unlikely to grow to give a decent crop in a single year). You may also take 20 on that skill as applied to killing-for-resource applications (meat, leather, etc) of animals you have raised from birth, and to any egg, milk, wool etc from animals you have tended to for at least six months that one generally doesn’t kill to get the specific resource in question. Neither of the applications in this paragraph increase the time or materials required.

’I Must Survive To Be Reunited With My Cherished Ones’ Resolution (Some people call this Mother Bear Returns To Her Cubs Technique)
Prerequisite: -
Whenever you have neither line of effect nor line of sight to any ally capable of taking actions and no reasonable method you (meaning the character) would know to reestablish both of these within two rounds your BAB for Phileotheysia levels increases to Full, you add your charisma bonus (if any) to your attack rolls, and all of your attacks count as magical. In circumstances where line of sight and/or line of effect, or the status of allies is uncertain from the player’s perspective the GM should resolve your attacks in secret so this excellency does not reveal information too easily.

When and if your Phileotheysia level exceeds 10, select an alignment you have. When this Excellency activates, your attacks also gain that alignment. Alternatively you may select Ghost Touch. This choice is made at level-up and may not be altered, unless your alignment changes to make your previous choice no longer valid. In such a case you make a second selection that only comes into play whenever you do not qualify for your previous one. Similarly, if your second choice becomes invalid, your attacks count as Ghost Touch until one of your previous selections becomes valid again.

When and if your Phileotheysia level exceeds 15 your attacks count as being made with an adamantine weapon whenever this Excellency is active.

Similarly at level 20 your attacks gain another alignment trait, Ghost Touch, or, if you alignment is true neutral then your attacks all gain +10 to damage. The previous rules about choices being rendered invalid via alignment change apply here as well, however the damage bonus may not be selected if there is any other valid choice.

Improved Swift to Protect
Prerequisites: -
Before initiative is rolled you may declare you are using this ability. If you do so, you gain a bonus to your initiative equal to your Phileotheysia level, but during your first turn in that combat you may only take movement actions(including casting spells that move you, activating magic items to teleport, etc.), draw one or more weapons, and/or use the abilities of this class (including Defensive Strikes, for instance if a held action provokes one) or Phileotheysia mythos and excellencies OTHER than GET OFF OF THEM!!!

Inevitability-Denying Treatment Technique
Prerequisite: Heal 10 Ranks (7 PF)
Old age is simply one more disease. It can be prevented. It can be cured.
You may spend one hour treating someone (including yourself). The GM should secretly roll a DC 25 heal check, you may not take 10 or 20 on this check. If it is successful, then for the next week the person ceases to age in all harmful ways*. You may perform this as often as you like but prior successes or failures within the past week for any given moment in time always override newer one. Thus if you failed a check, then succeeded three days later, then for the next four days the person would continue to age, then cease aging for the next three days.
*For instance, this does not delay gaining the bonuses to mental ability scores that most races get for aging, nor even a true dragon gaining the myriad benefits of their age categories.

If the check succeeds versus DC 35 then for that week the person instead ages in reverse in all beneficial respects to a minimum of their physical peek. This never decreases statistics (nor delays the gaining of improved statistics, such as the mental ability score bonuses for most creature's aging, or the many and varied bonuses for true dragons) or causes a loss of XPs, but can restore losses that were due to aging.

Let's Get You Out of Here!
Prerequisites: -
You gain the Fling Ally feat (Races of Stone p. 139-140). This does not grant any of the benefits of that feat’s prerequisites for any purpose other than throwing allies. When making such throws you are considered to have the Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Improved Precise Shot, and Far Shot feats and your Phileotheysia levels provide BAB as if it was a full-bab class.
 
If the GM rules that you are throwing your ally away from danger then all ranges (range increments, maximum ranges in feet/meters, etc.) of this feat are tripled, the size (but not ability to lift) requirement is waived, and it requires only a single standard action to both pick up and throw an ally.

Life and Soul Devaluing Courage
Prerequisite: -
You value nothing about yourself except as they may serve others, so why should the possibility of these things being damaged or lost alarm you when fretting only slows your actions on behalf of others?
You are immune to fear (magical or otherwise) for yourself. Fear for those you care about functions against you normally. Note that spells that do not specify (or explicitly allow the caster to specify) the rationalization for the fear that they create never qualify as causing fear for another person. This ability tends to make torturing you pointless, as, unless you make a conscious and reasoned decision to do otherwise, you will not even give the torturer the satisfaction of crying out.

Mastery of Blessings[Skillful Protector]
Prerequisites: Spellcraft 4 ranks (You can purchase this Excellency in the MIDDLE of assigning your skill points for a level even if buying it with mythos points (and thus probably XPs from the pool generated by a level loss for returning to life after dying "in the line of duty").)
You add Use Magic Device to the Phileotheysia skill list. However this ONLY allows any Phileotheysia skill points spent on that skill to count towards activating divine (clerical?) magic items, and only when this will result in targeting, and the only targets will be your allies (not you, not enemies, allies). It does not allow any other use of Use Magic Device to benefit from such ranks (including being allowed to attempt the roll in the first place), however other Phileotheysia mythos may allow such ranks to apply to other rolls as well.
Sequels: ()



Merciful Sheepdog Shares a Squirrel with Wolf Technique[Skillful Protector]
Prerequisite: Sheepdog in Wolf’s Clothing Mastery
You know which way the wind is blowing in social matters, and if you choose, may warn enemies off for their own protection, for often an enemy is simply a friend in the greatest need of help.
 
You add Decipher Script, Gather Information, Intimidate, Knowledge[Local], and Knowledge[Nobility and Royalty] to the Phileotheysia class skill list. Your deep care for (some of) those around you and the resulting social focus of your personality allows you to absorb information about those around you like a sponge: you may substitute your charisma bonus for your intelligence bonus when making checks with  any skill mentioned in the description of this excellency.
 
In addition, each skill point from Phileotheysia CAN* gain you 1 skill rank rather than ½ when spent on any of the following knowledge skills: Arcana*, Dungeoneering*, Geography, History, Nature, and The Planes*. They still do not count as class skills for purposes of skill rank maxima. You may freely choose which option to take when using an individual skill point to increase ranks.
 
*Your ability to apply your knowledge of the specific skills marked with an asterisk is prone to being limited by your social focus. Ranks in these skills that have been, due to the effects of this excellency, purchased at the above discount (in other words at the rate for class skills) do not count for rolls except for purposes of knowledge about intelligent (Int 3+) creatures. This includes determining if you count as trained in the skill. The GM should use his judgement on a case by case basis in deciding when ranks bought at a discount in the marked skills qualify towards meeting pre-requisites such as for feats, prestige classes, etc based on which parts of the knowledge skill in question the fluff implies makes that a requirement. In Pathfinder, you instead do not get the +3 bonus on rolls that don't meet those criteria, although your ranks still count normally.
 
Lastly, you gain a +2 bonus on knowledge[Religion] checks regarding intelligent undead who are capable of communication (usually speech), and may make such checks untrained in such cases regardless of the DC.
Sequels: ()



Mercy or Cruel Mercy?
Prerequisites: Any Phileotheysia mythos or excellency capable of sometimes improving BAB from the Phileotheysia to full.
Whether seeking to preserve enemies so they may become friends, capturing law-breakers so that all may see justice performed at a proper trial, or so your foes can be tortured for information or amusement, you may elect to allow those you strike to live.
You no longer take any penalty for striking for non-lethal damage with a weapon that usually deals lethal damage. Beyond negating the to-hit penalty, this also means you could, for instance, Sneak Attack for non-lethal damage with a longspear.
Sequels: Vampire-Redeeming Mercy / Even Beyond Death There Is No Escape From My Cruelty (Excellency)



Most Proximate Companion Protecting Dedication
Prerequisites:

• Skillful Nomad Burdens Not The Tribe Lifestyle OR Mounted Combat feat.
  
• Ride 4 ranks (1 PF)

If Ride was not previously a Phileotheysia class skill it becomes one.
 
You gain Animal Affinity and Skill Focus[Ride] as bonus feats.
 
You can and must now roll Ride once against each attack on your mount, rather than only once per round. Do this before you discover if the attack would otherwise hit your mount.
 
You may take 10 on all ride checks regardless of stress or distractions.
 
If you meditate for at least 1 minute while you and your mount perform no other actions, you may take 20 on a single ride check made on the round you end your meditation.
Sequels: Faithful Steed Bond (Excellency)



Mother-Wolf Hears Her Cub’s Cry, Mother-Hen Gathers Her Chicks
SEE EXCEPTIONAL MYTHOI. This was changed into one due to an active feature that would more often be relevant being added to it.



’Mouse Squeaks, But Draws Not The Ire Nor Attention of The Cat’ Conversational Methodology
Prerequisites: A total of at least 5 ranks (PF 2) between Diplomacy and Gather Information.
May not be combined with the Inoffensive trait.

Gather Information becomes a Phileotheysia class skill for you and you gain Negotiator as a bonus feat. ((Do I need to specify that if you took it normally before this you can retrain it upon taking this Excellency, but if you have it as a static bonus feat, such as from Sheep-Dog In Wolf's Clothing Mastery you don't gain a "free pick" of a feat?))

When making a diplomacy check you reduce all DCs 10 points for the purposes of if you make the situation worse than (or the same as) it was before. Similarly, upon making a Gather Information check, you are 10 points more likely (applied as a reduction to your DCs or a penalty to the rolls of others as necessary) to avoid being thought of as suspicious, or attracting attention. When using the Aid Another action with Diplomacy or Gather Information, you CAN choose before the basic and any aiding rolls are made (not just your own aid another roll) to bestow this benefit instead of providing a numerical bonus, provided you succeed on your own check.

Nota Bene: Unlike the Inoffensive trait, this Excellency imposes no penalty.
Sequels: -



Omega-Wolf Keeps the Pace[Sacrifice]
Prerequisites: -
You gain the Endurance and Dash feats. The speed bonus from Dash applies to all of your racial movement speeds, rather than just ground speed.
 
When you and/or your allies make constitution checks for a forced march, you yourself use the highest die-roll of any ally (including mounts and other animals) who remains within 20’ of you for the entire period the specific roll is for if it is higher than your own. If any such ally rolls lower than your actual roll then they use your actual roll, but you take 1d6 points of subdual damage whenever this causes an ally to succeed on such a roll where they otherwise would have failed. If you are immune to subdual damage you instead take lethal damage. This damage does not cause you to become fatigued, although if you failed your own check you would still become fatigued as usual (but see below).
 
Example: You and four allies have all been forced marching for an hour. You roll an 11, and your allies roll a 5, an 8, a 12 and a 15, then you would treat your roll to avoid subdual damage as if it were a 15 and your allies who rolled a 5 and an 8 are both treated as having rolled an 11. If the the character who got a 5 has a total modifier to their check such that they can make it, but only with your help, and the person who rolled an 8 would have made it even without your aid, then you would take 1d6 non-lethal damage (unless you are immune to subdual damage in which case it is lethal damage).
 
Whenever you take subdual damage from a forced march that would fatigue you, you may instead take 1d6 lethal damage (in addition to the nonlethal damage for failing the check) to prevent the fatigue. The restrictions of the [Sacrifice] tag do not apply to such subdual damage, although they do to the lethal damage.
 
You also gain the Woodland Stride feature of the druid (copied with a few edits for clarity below):
You may move through any sort of undergrowth (such as natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at your normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment. However, thorns, briars, and overgrown areas that have been magically manipulated to impede motion still affect you.

I am uploading these because my hard-drive may or MAY NOT be crashing. They are more up-to-date than what is on GitP, but are unfinished, and may contain outright errors, especially in terms of omissions in the "Sequel(s)" portions. Balance may also be ill-considered due to lack of rereading.

Quiet Mother Betrays Not Her Brood[Skillful Protector]
Perhaps those you protect rely on stealth to protect them from certain dangers. Perhaps you just find it advantageous to swoop in from an unexpected direction when providing your aid. Perhaps those you protect do not even especially desire your protection, or, like fools and some small children, would take even greater risks if they knew they were under your benevolent gaze. In any case, you have decided that remaining undetected and free to act is vital to your role as a protector.
Prerequisite: -
You add Escape Artist, Hide and Move Silently to the Phileotheysia skill list, and gain Stealthy as a bonus feat.
 
If your Phileotheysia levels is (or later becomes) at least 3 then you also gain Darkstalker as a bonus feat.
Sequels: Ever-Silent Unseen Guardian Spirit {Becomes Gaze-Drawing Banshee To Distract the Foe Duality} (Excellency)
OPTIONAL, but enhances: Danger-removing Gnome-Skilled Orcish Trap-Detector (Excellency)



Sheepdog in Wolf’s Clothing Mastery[Skillful Protector]
Prerequisite: -
You add Bluff, Disguise, Escape Artist, Forgery, and Sleight of Hand to the Phileotheysia class skill list and gain Negotiator and Deceitful as bonus feats. When creating forgeries and when concealing objects on/in yourself, your allies, or unattended objects and locations you may substitute your charisma bonus for the usual ability score modifier to the appropriate skills. Note that this CAN include such things as hide checks (or even move silently checks for noisy objects such as bells or chains) despite those not being skills granted by this Excellency.

OPTIONAL, but enhances: Danger-removing Gnome-Skilled Orcish Trap-Detector (Excellency)



’Skillful Nomad Burdens Not The Tribe’ Lifestyle[Skillful Protector]
(Also sometimes called “Friendship with All Living Things Mindset")
Prerequisite: -
 
You add Handle Animal, Knowledge[Geography], Ride, and Survival plus EITHER Knowledge[Nature] OR Knowledge[Dungeoneering] to the Phileotheysia class skill list and gain the Self-Sufficient feat.
 
You may spend two skill points (somewhat like purchasing a skill trick) whenever you could normally spend skill points to add the other of Nature/Dungeoneering to the Philotheysia skill list.
 
At phileotheysia level 10 Knowledge[The Planes] is also considered a Phileotheysia class skill.
 
You also gain the druid’s Animal Empathy class feature based on your phileotheysia level and stacking with all other classes that grant that class feature.
 
Your desire to protect a companion who often you must guide into harm’s way so you may protect others grants you the Mounted Combat feat, although you can not use it for prerequisites unless you acquire it separately from some other source that allows it to be used for prerequisites (including the basic feat progression granted for a given character level). You gain +5 on all Concentration checks caused by a moving mount.

Threat-Level Assessing Clarity of Vision
Prerequisites:
-May not be True Neutral.
-Bonuses from ranks, wisdom BONUS (if any), and feats to Sense Motive totalling to at least +10 (PF: Include the bonus for being a class skill in this).
-Dangerous Personage Detecting Alertness (Excellency)
-Phileotheysia level 4
 
If you spend an additional move, standard, or swift action on the same round you concentrate on Dangerous Personage Detecting Alertness* to further  refine your awareness then you may detect lingering auras, and detect the strength of auras. Regardless of if you are so concentrating, you also know as much about auras that meet BOTH of the following conditions as you do about auras in general (which alignment(s) it is, plus presence or absence, number of, and/or location of as the case may be):
-Overwhelming (see matching Detect {alignment} spells).
-Hit-Dice or level of the aura’s source is at least twice your character level
 
*This includes the improvements from Friend and Furtive Foe Finding Field if you have that excellency.
 
In addition, as a full-round action, you may add or remove the detection of spells and magic items from Dangerous Personage Detecting Alertness and all excellency and mythos that have that excellency as a prerequisite. This detection functions as per the matching Detect <alignment> spell(s) and is an all-or-nothing thing at any given time. Thus a CG Philetheysia could detect either BOTH Lawful AND Evil spells and magic items, or neither, but could not elect to detect Lawful spells and magic items, but not Evil ones.
OPTIONAL, but enhances: Friend and Furtive Foe Finding Field (Excellency)



Touch of the Phileotheysia
Prerequisite: Heal 4 ranks (1 PF)
You prefer to prevent harm, but sometimes one has to be willing to deal with it after it happens.
You may heal wounds (your own or those of others) by touch. Each day you can heal a total number of hit points of damage equal to your Phileotheysia level × (Charisma SCORE-10, min 1) × 2. You may choose to divide your healing among multiple recipients, and you don’t have to use it all at once, however this ability may not be used on any creature that lacks both an intelligence and a constitution score, and only a number of points of healing equal to half your Phileotheysia level (minimum 1) may be healed per use of this ability. Using touch of the Phileotheysia is a full-round extraordinary ability with somatic components that provokes attacks of opportunity and is subject to the same concentration checks as many other Phileotheysia abilities.
Note that this ability CANNOT be used to harm undead (or anything else), and heals undead (and characters with the tomb tainted soul feat, etc) perfectly well. It also is fully effective for healing any construct that has either an intelligence or constitution score (or both).
This ability counts as both Lay on Hands and Wholeness of Body for the purposes of meeting feat and prestige class prerequisites, feat effects, skill tricks, etc.
 
At Phileotheysia level 7 the amount of per-day healing this excellency can provide is doubled to Phileotheysia level × (Charisma SCORE-10, min 1) × 4.
 
At Phileotheysia level 13 there is no longer any per day limit on the healing this excellency can provide.
Sequels: Polite Chirurgeon-Refusing Vitality (Exceptional Mythos)



Track Erasing Tracks
Prerequisite: Quiet Mother Betrays Not the Her Brood (Excellency)
Much like a moderately skilled druid you leave no trail ?in natural surroundings? and cannot be tracked. You may choose to leave a trail if so desired. ?This functions in any sort of surroundings, not just natural ones.?
 
In addition, when following behind someone you may choose to step (or burrow, or swim, or fly, or whatever) where they do, and draw their footprints (and all other signs of their passing) into the same void as your own vanish into.While using this ability you must choose either Survival or Hide. The GM then rolls the selected skill secretly, then divides by 3 for survival or 4 for hide and adds that to the DC to track. Any tracking attempts that fall between the two DCs (usually) succeed but they do not find any indication that the person is in the group. If this removes all persons from the group then you all can not be tracked. You may take a -3 penalty to your check for each additional individual you wish to conceal in this way, provided you are all going single-file with yourself at the back.
