Arcane Spellcasting |
Arcane Trickster Dragon Disciple Eldritch Knight Mystic Theurge |
At 1st level, Arcane Trickster selects an arcane spellcasting class she belonged to before adding the prestige class. When a new Arcane Trickster level is gained, the character gains new Spells per day and new Spells known as if she had also gained a level in that spellcasting class. |
Ranged Legerdemain |
Arcane Trickster | An Arcane Trickster can use Trickery at a range of 30 feet. Working at a distance increases the normal skill check DC by 5. |
Impromptu Sneak Attack |
Arcane Trickster | Beginning at 3rd level, an Arcane Trickster can enter a special stance that allows him to improvise a way to sneak attack targets regardless of their awareness. An Arcane Trickster can maintain this stance for one round per day. For every two levels above 3rd, an Arcane Trcickster can maintain this stance for one additional round, up to a maximum of 4 rounds at 9th level. The target of impromptu sneak attacks loses any Dexterity bonus to AC, but only against those attacks. The power can be used against any target, but creatures that are not subject to critical hits take no extra damage (though they still lose any Dexterity bonus to AC against the attack). |
Invisible Thief |
Arcane Trickster | At 9th level, an Arcane Trickster can become invisible, as if under the effects of greater invisibility, as a Free Action. He can remain invisible for a number of rounds per day equal to his Arcane Trickster level. These rounds need not be consecutive. |
Surprise Spells |
Arcane Trickster | At 10th level, an Arcane Trickster can add his sneak attack damage to any Spell that deals damage, if the targets are Flat-footed. This additional damage only applies to Spells that deal hit point damage, and the additional damage is of the same type as the spell. If the spell allows a saving throw to negate or halve the damage, it also negates or halves the sneak attack damage. |
Death Attack |
Assassin | An Assassin can make a special attack with a melee weapon against a target that doesn't know about the Assassin. The attack has the additional effect of possibly either paralyzing or killing the target (Assassin's choice). Death Attack is a full-round action. The Death Attack fails if the target detects the Assassin or recognizes the Assassin as an enemy. If the victim of such a death attack fails a Fortitude Save (DC 10 + the Assassin's class level + the assassin's Int modifier) against the kill effect, they die. If the saving throw fails against the paralysis effect, the victim is rendered helpless and unable to act foir 1d6 rounds plus 1 round per level of the Assassin. If the victim's saving throw succeeds, the attack is just a normal attack. At 10th level, the death attack becomes a Standard Action. |
Poison Use |
Assassin | Assassins specialize in Poison Use. Every day they create special combat poisons, the number of their doses equal to 3 + Assassin level, which they can use to envenom their melee weapons. As a Move Action, an Assassin can apply one of their poisons to their melee weapon, and the next one successful attack applies it to the target. Save DC of all poisons is 10 + Assassin level + Int modifier. If the attack that applied the poison was a Sneak Attack, the DC is increased by 2. At 1st level, an Assassin has access to poisons that deal 1d4 stat damage to Strength or Dexterity for 4 rounds. At 5th level, an Assassin gains access to poison that deals Constitution damage. At 9th level, the number of successful saving throws needed to remove the poison increases to 2. At 10th level, an Assassin can apply the poisons as a move or a Switft Action. |

Damage Reduction (Stalwart Defender) |
Stalwart Defender | At 5th level, a Stalwart Defender gains DR 1/-. At 7th level, this DR increases to 3/-, and at 10th level it increases to 5/-. |
Defensive Stance |
Stalwart Defender | At 1st level, a Stalwart Defender can enter a defensive stance, a position of readiness and trance-like determination. A Stalwart Defender can mainain this stance for a number of rounds per day equal to 4 + his Constitution modifier. At each level after 1st, he can maintain the stance for 2 additional rounds per day. Temporary increases to Constitution, such as those gained forom the Defensive Stance and Spells like bear's endurance, do not increase the total number of rounds that the Stalwart Defender can maintain a defensive stance per day. The Stalwart Defender can enter a defensive stance as a Free Action. The total number of rounds of defensive stance per day is renewed after resting for 8 hours, although these hours do not need to be consecutive. While in defensive stance, a Stalwart Defender gains a +2 bonus on melee attack rolls, melee damage rolls, thrown weapon damage rolls, and Will saving throws. In addition, he gains a +2 dodge bonus to Armor Class and 2 temporary hit points per Hit Die. While in a defensive stance, a Stalwart Defender cannot willingly move from his current position through any means. The Stalwart Defender can end ihis defensive stance as a free action; after ending the stance, he is fatigued for a number of rounds equal to 2 times the number of rounds spent in the stance. A Stalwart Defender cannot enter a new defensive stance while fatigued or exhausted but can otherwise enter a stance multiple times during a single encounter or combat. If a Stalwart Defender falls unconscious, his defensive stance immediately ends, placing him in peril of death. A defensive stance requires a level of emotional calm, and it may no be maintained by a character in a rage (such as from the rage class feature or the rage spell). |
Defensive Powers |
Stalwart Defender | As a Stalwart Defender gains levels, he augments his defensive stance. Starting at 2nd level, the stalwart defender gains a defensive power. He gains another defensive power for every two levels of Stalwart Defender attained after 2nd level. The Stalwart Defender gains the benefits of defensive powers only while in a defensive stance, and some of these powers require him to take an action first. Unless otherwise noted, he cannot select an individual power more than once. |

He usually does not need to make Perception checks to notice and pinpoint the location of creatures within range of his blindsense ability, provided that he has line of effect to that creature. Any opponent the Dragon Disciple canmnot see still has total concealment against him, and the Dragon Disciple still has the normal miss chance when attacking foes that have concealment.

He must choose a dragon type upon gaining his first level in this class and that type must be the same as his Sorcerer type. This ability does not grant bonus Spells to a Sorcerer unless he possesses spell slots of an appropriate level. Such bonus spells aer automatically granted if the Sorcerer gains Spell slots of the Spells level. |

Smite chaos attacks automatically bypass any DR the creature might possess. In addition, while Smite Chaos is in effect, the Hellknight gains a deflection bonus equal to his Charisma modifier (if any) to his AC against attacks made by the target of the Smite. If the Hellknight targets a creature that is not chaotic, the Smite is wasted with no effect. The Smite Chaos lasts until the target dies or the Hellknight selects a new target.

Winter Witch | At 1st level, a Winter Witch's mastery of the cold becomes so great that any Spell with cold descriptor she casts has its saving throw DC increased by 1. Additionally, all Spells with fire she casts have their saving throw DC decreased by 1. At 5th and 10th level, this bonus and penalty are increased by 1, up to a maximum of 3. |
Frost Power |
Winter Witch | Winter Witch levels stack with Shaman levels to determine the power of witch hexes and access to major and grand hexes, and for acquiring patron spells. |
Unearthly Cold |
Winter Witch | At 8th level, a Winter Witch's Spells that deal cold damage become horrendously cold. Half the cold damage caused by these effects comes from an otherworldly power and is not subject to being reduced by resistance or immunity to cold-based attacks. |
Freezing Cold |
Winter Witch | At 3rd level, a Winter Witch's Spells become incredibly cold, increasing their caster level by 1. At 6th level, this bonus increases to 2. |
