[3.5] Wizard with fighter mechanics

[xaotiq1]

Would one put the ability to become incorporeal or ethereal under Shapeshift?? Would they be their own feats or tactical options for that feat?

Oh, also, a couple ideas here:

Detect/Conceal Arcana [Wizard]
Prerequisites: Int 13+, Spellcraft 1 rank, Any [Spell] feat
Benefits: You may detect the presence, number, and strength of magical auras within 10' per four ranks in Spellcraft. You may make a Spellcraft check to determine the spell involved with each (Make one check per aura; DC 15+ half caster level)
Special: None

Barrier [Spell]
Prerequisites: Craft or Knowledge (Architecture/Engineering) 4 Ranks
Benefits: You can use this feat to create 1+1 5' cube of material or energy (the exact type is chosen when this feat is taken) for every 4 ranks you have in either Craft or Knowledge (A&E), whichever is higher. No section of the barrier remains when the spell ends or a section is destroyed (no selling your walls of iron  ). Each cube the caster sets must share at least one face with another cube. Solid barriers may be climbed upon. Barriers made of energy deal 2d4+1d4/caster level to any creatures attempting to pass through it.
Special:You can take this feat multiple times; each time choosing a different material with which to construct your barrier.

Conjure Item [Spell]
Benefit: Select one of the following effects which you can create as an immediate action and dismiss as a free action. Any item created by this feat becomes equipped by you as it appears. You may only have one effect of each type in existence at a time.

• Armor: Select one type of armor with which you are proficient. You may conjure a masterwork suit of armor of that type. The armor vanishes if removed from you. If you possess at least 6 ranks in Craft (armorsmithing) then the armor gains a +1 enhancement bonus, +1 for every 3 additional ranks you possess (to a maximum of +6 at 21 ranks).
  
• Shield: Select one type of shield with which you are proficient. You may conjure a masterwork shield of that type. The shield vanishes if it leaves your grasp, or immediately after an attack if used to make a ranged attack. If you possess at least 6 ranks in Craft (armorsmithing) then the shield gains a +1 enhancement bonus, +1 for every 3 additional ranks you possess (to a maximum of +6 at 21 ranks).
  
• Weapon: Select one type of weapon with which you are proficient. You may conjure a mundane weapon of that type, which overcomes damage reduction as a magic weapon. The weapon vanishes if it leaves your grasp, or immediately after an attack if used to make a ranged attack. If you selected a projectile weapon then you may also conjure nonmagical ammunition for it as a free action, which vanishes under the same circumstances. If you possess at least 6 ranks in Craft (weaponsmithing) then this weapon gains a +1 enhancement bonus, +1 for every 3 additional ranks you possess (to a maximum of +6 at 21 ranks); a double weapon gains this enchantment on both ends. You may apply any feats and abilities which require you to select a specific type of weapon (e.g. Weapon Focus) to this weapon as if you had chosen its weapon type.
  

Special: You may select this feat multiple times, choosing a different effect each time. If you have access to multiple effects, then you may activate all of them with the same action.
Special: This feat counts as Craft Magic Arms and Armor for meeting prerequisites. You may have both this feat and Craft Magic Arms and Armor.

Expanded Armory [Wizard]
Prerequisites: Conjure Item
Benefit: Choose one of your Conjure Item effects, and another type of item which could be summoned by it. Whenever you use Conjure Item, you may conjure either of the two items. (eg. if you could use Conjure Weapon to call a longsword, you could choose greataxe for this feat, allowing you to call either a longsword or a greataxe). Switching between your item's forms requires the same action as conjuring it normally.
Special: You may select this feat multiple times. Each time doubles the number of forms your conjured item may take.

Conjured Gift [Wizard]
Prerequisites: Conjure Item
Benefit: When you conjure an item you may choose for it to remain in existence 1 minute/character level after leaving your possession or making an attack (or until dismissed); these conjured items may be used by any creature, not just you. When using your Conjure Item feat, you may choose to target a willing creature within Close range instead of yourself.
Special: You may select this feat multiple times. If you select this feat a second time then you may create items which last 1 hour/level, and may target willing creatures out to Medium range. Selecting this feat a third time lets you create items which last indefinitely, and target willing creatures out to Long range.

Conjured Hoard [Wizard]
Prerequisites: Conjure Item
Benefit: You may have two instances of Conjure Item in existence at once; if you have selected Conjure Item multiple times, then you may have two instances of each option. You may summon both of these items with the same action.
Special: You may select this feat multiple times. Each time doubles the number of items you may have in existence at once.
Special: If you have the Conjured Gift feat, you may choose a different target to receive each summoned item.
Special: If you have the Expanded Armory feat, you may summon any combination of your available items (e.g. a character who can conjure longswords and shortswords could choose to conjure a longsword in one hand and a shortsword in the other).

Rapid Conjuration [Wizard]
Prerequisites: Conjure Item
Benefit: You may activate your Conjure Item feat as a free action on your turn; you may not, however, conjure armor or shields more than once per round. For 1 round after doing so, you gain a +4 circumstance bonus on checks made to feint in combat (if you conjured a weapon or shield) and/or checks made to escape bonds (if you conjured a suit of armor).
Special: This feat counts as Quick Draw for meeting prerequisites. You may have both this feat and Quick Draw.

Ancestral Item [Wizard]
Prerequisites: Conjure Item, Knowledge (history) 1 rank
Benefit: You may use your ranks in Knowledge (history) in place of Craft (armorsmithing) and Craft (weaponsmithing) for determining the effects of your Conjure Item feat. You may apply your Wisdom modifier to attack rolls with your conjured weapon in place of the normal modifier.
Special: Physical contact with one of your conjured items stirs up memories of ages past, allowing you to use such items as masterwork tools for the Knowledge (history) skill.

Spiritual Item [Wizard]
Prerequisites: Ancestral Item
Special: Your conjured items gain the ghost touch property.

Blessed Item [Wizard]
Prerequisites: Conjure Item, Knowledge (religion) 1 rank
Benefit: You may use your ranks in Knowledge (religion) in place of Craft (armorsmithing) and Craft (weaponsmithing) for determining the effects of your Conjure Item feat. You may apply your Charisma modifier to attack rolls with your conjured weapon in place of the normal modifier.
Special: Your conjured items are engraved with images of your deity and their servants, and are considered to be holy symbols.

Divine Item [Wizard]
Prerequisites: Blessed Item, cannot be True Neutral
Special: Choose one alignment component (good, evil, lawful or chaotic) that you possess. Your conjured weapons are considered to possess that alignment for overcoming damage reduction, and deal +1d6 damage to creatures of the opposed alignment. You may apply the AC bonus from your conjured armor and/or shield against touch attacks from creatures of the opposed alignment.

Hateful Item [Wizard]
Prerequisites: Conjure Item, Favored Enemy class feature
Benefit: Your conjured weapons are considered to have the bane property against any of your favored enemies. The enhancement bonus of your conjured armor and/or shield increases by +2 against any of your favored enemies (or it gains a +2 enhancement bonus if it does not possess one).

Weapon of Energy [Wizard]
Prerequisites: Conjure Item (weapon), Energy Ray
Benefit: Whenever you conjure a weapon, you may choose to conjure a version infused with the power of your Energy Ray feat. This weapon deals +1d6 damage, and all damage it deals is of the same type as your Energy Ray (if you have access to multiple energy types, choose the type when you conjure the weapon). This weapon is considered both a Conjure Item and Energy Ray effect.

[Amechra]

I'm liking the Conjure line. I'm liking it a lot; I'll have to see what shenanigans can be done with the whole thing, though.

[veekie]

No tools or furniture options?

[FireInTheSky]

Shapeshift [Spell] has no prereq listed.  Also, at first, do you get any abilities from the chosen creature, or do you only look like the creature?

For Energy Barrage [Wizard], is the attack still a touch attack, or does it turn into a regular attack?

Light [Spell] has no prereq listed.

Telekinesis [Spell] has no prereq listed.

Also, can you either copy the later Feats into the 2nd post, or link to them?

[Prime32]

Shapeshift[, Light and Telekineses have] no prereq listed.

...should they?

Also, at first, do you get any abilities from the chosen creature, or do you only look like the creature?

You look like it unless it says you get anything.

For Energy Barrage [Wizard], is the attack still a touch attack, or does it turn into a regular attack?

I originally wrote it as a regular attack, but...

Also, can you either copy the later Feats into the 2nd post, or link to them?

Sure.

[FireInTheSky]

Shapeshift[, Light and Telekineses have] no prereq listed.

...should they?

I dunno.  I just saw that all of the other [spell] feats did.

For Energy Barrage [Wizard], is the attack still a touch attack, or does it turn into a regular attack?

I originally wrote it as a regular attack, but...

Ok.  I don't really care either way, I just wasn't sure.

[Nanshork]

This is very interesting.  How much more do you have planned to do, if any?

[awaken_D_M_golem]

Fighter feats roll in at the same pace as
a Wilder's powers.  Wizard = ~Wilder is
of course do-able, but given the history,
the Wizard would need more juice.

[Nanshork]

You have a ritual that requires Gust of Wind but as far as I can tell there isn't a Gust of Wind feat...

[FireInTheSky]

For Telekinesis and subsequent [Wizard] feats, if you take something like Imp.Disarm or Imp.Bull Rush, can you apply those to your Vector?

[Prime32]

You have a ritual that requires Gust of Wind but as far as I can tell there isn't a Gust of Wind feat...

There will be eventually. Probably a general "weather" chain.

For Telekinesis and subsequent [Wizard] feats, if you take something like Imp.Disarm or Imp.Bull Rush, can you apply those to your Vector?

Just did a rewrite of Telekinesis, but yes, it's a normal combat maneuver except as stated otherwise.

[oslecamo]

Great work here! Somehow hadn't noticed this before.

An half-random idea I had for this.

Make magic items that replicate some of the feats here, but they need "proficiency" to be used, with each proficiencly applying to one of group of spell-feats. So proficiency (Cure) would allow you to use items that replicate Cure feats.

Those items need to be held in one hand (perhaps both) and need some attunning action, so you can only keep one/two active at a time. Any lasting effects end if you no longer hold the item.

[Raineh Daze]

... why is the strength of telekinesis (AKA, size-based effects) based upon the original size of the caster? What rationale is there for an ogre to have more mental push than a halfling?

[Prime32]

Bigger brain, duh.

[Raineh Daze]

Awakened T-Rex?

[veekie]

Well, I'd personally have made Telekinesis completely size independent(both attacker and defender lose their size adjustments), but this is legit enough an approach, and works with a minimum of fuss.

[Raineh Daze]

Makes more sense to me--how come a mobile force has a size, anyway?  Larger creatures still have an advantage due to a tendency towards increased strength scores, anyway, rather than being bigger than something with no physical manifestation, if I'm reading things right.

[Amechra]

You know what this needs?

Divination.

Perhaps start off with just enhancing spot, sense motive, and listen checks, and going up from there?

I mean, being able to see magical auras as an "innate" ability would be cool. As would, you know, hearing or tasting them.

[Prime32]

Aid Another is a neglected mechanic (because, y'know, it's horribly weak apart from out-of-combat skill use), so it seemed like an interesting base for a support character. I'm finding it hard to judge whether I'm handing out enough though, balanced against giving up most of your turn; the mini-sanctuary effect is supposed to compensate for that a little.

One idea I had was to turn weapon buffs into "whenever the buffed character hits with the weapon, the buffer can make an attack through his weapon and add together the damage of both", just so the support characters have a more active role in things, but I ran into a few issues like your ability to buff being dependent on your fighting skill.

Yeah there's a Good alignment restriction; evil characters get a Curse line with similar effects, but some of the buffing switched for debuffing.


Bless [Spell]
Prerequisites: Wis 13, good alignment
Benefit: You may make aid another attempts against allies within Close range (25ft +5ft/level), making a Knowledge (religion) check in place of the usual check. For every 10 points by which your check exceeds DC 10, the bonus granted increases by an additional +1. A single creature cannot carry multiple such blessings at the same time, though he may still benefit from a blessing and regular uses of aid another at the same time. Choose one of the following two forms for the blessing to take:

• Enduring: You need not aid a specific action; rather, the target may apply this bonus to any roll or check it makes within the next minute (even if it could not normally be increased by aid another, such as a saving throw), after which the effect ends.
  
• Instant: The bonus you grant is reduced by -2, but the target may roll twice and use the higher of the two results (or force the opponent to roll their attack twice and use the lower of the two results, if applied to AC).

Whenever you use Bless, you may choose to become unassuming to enemies for 1 round; they are still aware of your presence, but do not consider harming you unless they succeed on a Will save (DC = 10 + half your character level + your Wis modifier). Enemies may still target you with area effects, but only if the effect would accomplish something else at the same time (such as harming your allies). This effect is broken for all enemies if you perform an offensive action, or for a specific enemy if you are their only available opponent (or if all their available opponents are under this effect).
Special: Bless cannot be used to increase the Knowledge (religion) check used by another casting of Bless.
Special: You may select this feat multiple times, choosing a different form for the blessing each time.

Great Blessing [Wizard]
Prerequisites: Bless (enduring), Bless (instant)
Benefit: Whenever a creature gains your blessing, it gains the benefits of both an enduring and an instant blessing. These blessings may be applied separately or to the same roll, but their effects do not stack (i.e. combining both blessings would effectively result in an Instant blessing without the normal -2 penalty, and Blessed Smiting would add its damage bonus only once).

Manyfold Blessing [Wizard]
Prerequisites: Bless
Benefit: You may Bless two allies within range with the same action. If these are Instant blessings, you must grant the same kind of bonus to each creature affected.
Special: You may select this feat multiple times. Each time after the first doubles the number of blessings you may perform with the same action.

Blessed Protection [Wizard]
Prerequisites: Bless
Benefit: When a target of your blessing adds it as a bonus to AC but fails to block an attack, or adds it to a saving throw but fails their save, reduce the damage inflicted by the attack/effect (if any) by an amount equal to half your ranks in Knowledge (religion).

Blessed Smiting [Wizard]
Prerequisites: Bless
Benefit: When a target of your blessing adds it as a bonus to an attack roll, their attack is considered magic and good-aligned. In addition, they gain a sacred bonus on the accompanying damage roll equal to your character level + your Wis modifier.

Sacred Ward [Wizard]
Prerequisites: Bless
Benefit: Whenever you target a creature with Bless, it gains DR/evil for 1 minute equal to one-third your ranks in Knowledge (religion). If the creature is below half hp, it also gains an equal amount of fast healing, which cannot increase its hp above half its normal total.

Blessed Healing [Wizard]
Prerequisites: Bless, Cure
Benefit: In any round where you have used your Cure feat, you may use your Bless feat as a swift action. You may only Bless creatures who have been affected by your Cure.
