M-bark 03-23-08, 04:20 PM	A while ago, I made a class that could change it's creature subtype and could follow several "paths" that granted specific class abilities (spellcasting, martial abilities, monster abilities, etc.). I really liked the class myself, but more recently I became familiar with some variants in Unearthed Arcana, and I also read some more stuff on the Wizards site. I learned that my typeshifter was very much like a 20-level progression for the Chameleon PrC made into a base class and with the Druid's Aspect of Nature variant from Unearthed Arcana. I was interested in these things, and decided to revamp the class a little, take away some features and add some other things. I'd like to hear other peoples' thoughts on it. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASPECT CHANGER http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/9171/typeshifterdraconickj1.png By Qvi of Deviant ART “I think I’m going to change my aspect to better fit this here party… Yeah, I’ll do that. Change Aspect, for great justice!” ~ Ashtartivan Gnaris, Aspect Shifter Adventures: Aspect changers are a sneaky kind of people, apt at disguising themselves, and as such one may find them in almost any environment. They mostly appear in places with a few people, as they are a reclusive kind, and like to improve themselves in peace. However, some travel towards the city and search to increase their skills more by learning from others. Characteristics: Aspect changers are beings who can alter their form slightly and gain abilities like those of other classes. Alignment: Aspect changers can be dedicated to a cause, leader or country, and serve it with great loyalty and honour. Others prefer the lifestyle of a mercenary, a spy-for-hire or such. Aspect changers can as such be lawful or chaotic, and are also not restricted in alignment on the good-evil axis. Religion: Aspect changers aren’t particularly pious figures, but some revere a single deity. Erythnul and Hextor are common amongst the more evil ones, Olidammara amongst the more chaotic ones, and Heironeous and St. Cuthbert amongst the more good and lawful ones, although they aren’t particularly favored by Heironeous as worshippers. Obad-hai is the most commonly revered neutral deity. Background: Aspect changers usually do not come from the richer families, nor do they often come from large towns or cities villages. They usually were born and raised in a small town, middleclassmen who were a little too curious for their own good, and came into contact with a source of strange power, and who later on tried to expand on that strange power. Races: Humans take well to this class as they do to just about any other. Elves and Half-Elves make good aspect changers due to their fascination with all forms of magic. Gnomes make good aspect changers, though Halflings slightly less do to being weaker in the areas were the aspect changers needs strength. Dwarves and Half-Orcs do make for great aspect changers in some aspects of the class. Other Classes: Aspect changers can get along well with members of other classes because they can fill in many roles and aid others well in battle. However, because they can change their path (or Aspect of Class, if you will), they are sometimes looked upon with envy and distrust by others. Role: Although the aspect changers makes for a fairly good damage-dealer at both a distance and in melee due to his abilities, he’s not as good as some other classes because of his average hit die, slightly low amount of spells per day and power points GAME RULE INFORMATION Abilities: Depending on which path the Aspect Changer chooses, his abilities will have different priorities. Charisma is important for his spellcasting and manifesting, Intelligence for his skills, and Strength and Dexterity for his combat ability. HD: d8 Random Starting Age: As fighter.

A aspect changer’s attacks may be with either fist interchangeably or even from elbows, knees, and feet. This means that a aspect changer may even make unarmed strikes with his hands full. There is no such thing as an off-hand attack for a aspect changer striking unarmed. A aspect changer may thus apply his full Strength bonus on damage rolls for all his unarmed strikes. Usually a aspect changer’s unarmed strikes deal lethal damage, but he can choose to deal nonlethal damage instead with no penalty on her attack roll. He has the same choice to deal lethal or nonlethal damage while grappling. A aspect changer’s unarmed strike is treated both as a manufactured weapon and a natural weapon for the purpose of spells and effects that enhance or improve either manufactured weapons or natural weapons. Sightful (Ex): At 1st level, a aspect changer gains darkvision out to 60 feet and low-light vision. Path: At second level, a aspect changer must choose a path to follow. Once per day, the aspect changer may decide to change paths. He must then meditate for one hour during which he must attune himself to the new path. Alien Mind, Body, Heart and Soul (Su): An aspect changer of 2nd level or higher gains immunity against spells and effects specifically targeted at humanoids (Charm Person, Hold Person, etc.). Eldritch-Fisted (Su): At 4th level, an aspect changer’s unarmed attacks are empowered with the energy of their spirit. His unarmed attacks become as magic weapons with a +1 bonus (without the actual bonus), and now also overcome damage reduction/magic. Bodychanger (Su): From 6th level onwards, a aspect changers can change his or her form once per day. During this change, he or she can change gender, become 1.5 as tall as normal or 2/3 as tall, become powerfully build or slightly build (gaining the Powerful Build attribute or Slight Build attribute), and change general features (hair colour, length and style, skin colour, eye colour, size and shape of body parts (as long as it’s nothing too crazy and within the realm of nonmagical possibility)). At dawn, the change is reversed. Scent (Ex): At 6th level, a aspect changers gains the Scent Special Quality. Absolute Readiness(Su): At 7th level, a aspect changers gains a bonus equal to his Charisma bonus (if any) on all saving throws. Strength of the Soul (Ex): At 13th level, a aspect changer gains spell and power resistance equal to her current aspect changers level + 10. In order to affect the aspect changer with a spell or power, a spellcaster or manifester must get a result on a caster or manifester level check (1d20 + caster or manifester level) that equals or exceeds the aspect changer’s spell/power resistance. Tonguetwister (Ex): A aspect changer of 16th level or higher can use speak with plants and speak with animals at will. Timeless Body (Ex): Upon attaining 17th level, a aspect changer no longer takes penalties to his ability scores for aging and cannot be magically aged. Any such penalties that he has already taken, however, remain in place. Bonuses still accrue, and the aspect changer still dies of old age when his time is up. Ascended: At level 20 the aspect changer ascends to a higher level of being. He is forevermore treated as an outsider rather than as a humanoid (or whatever the aspect changer’s creature type was) for the purpose of spells and magical effects. Additionally, the aspect changer gains damage reduction 10/magic, which allows him to ignore the first 10 points of damage from any attack unless made by a magic weapon. Unlike other outsiders, the aspect changer can still be brought back from the dead as if he were a member of his previous creature type. He now also can change his subtype to those that can only be applied to outsiders (racial outsider subtypes). He retains the ability to change his subtype to those he already could change it to.
M-bark 03-23-08, 04:21 PM	Aspect changing: Aspect changing is one of the most important things about being an aspect changer, and it’s where they get their name from. There are multiple aspects an aspect changer can take on simultaneously, but they have to unlock these powers first as they advance.

An aspect changer who makes the Path of the Martial Expert his own must choose a combat style. He gains bonus feats according to his combat style, but loses them when he changes his Path.

He also gains the trapfinding class feature, and a +2 competence bonus on Disable Device, Hide, Move Silently, Open Lock, and Search checks, and a +2 bonus on Reflex saves. At 10th level, the bonuses improve to +4, and at 18th level, they improve to +6. Trapfinding: You can use the Search skill to locate traps when the task has a Difficulty Class higher than 20. Finding a nonmagical trap has a DC of at least 20, or higher if it is well hidden. Finding a magic trap has a DC of 25 + the level of the spell used to create it. You can use the Disable Device skill to disarm magic traps. A magic trap generally has a DC of 25 + the level of the spell used to create it. An aspect changer who beats a trap’s DC by 10 or more with a Disable Device check can study a trap, figure out how it works, and bypass it (with his party) without disarming it. Skill Tricks: Skill tricks allow a character to perform such cinematic effects as swinging across a chasm hanging from a whip, leaping off a warhorse while swinging a sword, jumping and running up a wall, and other similar actions popular in movies. The four types of skill tricks are interaction, manipulation, mental, and movement. Each type focuses on a different subset of skills. Interaction: These skill tricks influence social interaction between PCs and NPCs. They typically rely on skills used in those situations, such as Bluff, Diplomacy, and Sense Motive. Anyone who relies on social interaction to achieve their goals can benefit from them.
