Ok - i love the idea of the Geomancer, but i didnt much care for the nature side, so i have created my own version of it. It might be too powerful, im not sure - if anyone has any problems it might be with the "Aspects" which im currently thinking of cutting out. . . . but id LOVE feedback on it, if anyone is so inclined :) Aspect of the Powers While a Geomancer grows closer to the material plane and nature, an Aspect of the Powers grows closer to the magic they control and its sources. Both classes share much with each other, as they both gain spell versatility, but an Aspect needs not be in touch with nature in the slightest. An Aspect drifts slowly towards the elements of their magic, and the deities, which grant their powers. Generally a Cleric will only have a single Deity from which they gain drift towards, but occasionally a divine caster will have a number of gods, which they pay tribute to. Hit Die: d6 Requirements: To qualify as an Aspect of the Powers a character must fulfill the following criteria. Skills: Knowledge (arcana) 6 ranks, Knowledge (religion or the planes) 6 ranks. Spells: The ability to cast 2nd level arcane and 2nd level divine spells. Class Skills: Concentration (con), Craft (any) (int), Decipher Script (int), Diplomacy (cha), Knowledge (any) (int), Sense Motive (wis), and Spellcraft (int).

If more then a single deity is worshiped then an Aspect may choose only Weapon Focus or Weapon Proficiency with any weapon, but not both. Spells per Day: As per Geomancer. Spell Versatility: As per Geomancer. Drift: An Aspect of the Powers slowly drifts towards either the arcane magic’s that he uses, or the sources of his divine magic. Typical Arcane drifts are slowly gaining the appearance of an elemental for which you use the element of most, or gaining small magical effects on your body; the height of Arcane drifting are permanent spell like effects. Typical Divine drifts are gaining the appearance of your chosen Deity, or developing the looks and traits of outsiders, whether they be Angels or Demons; the height of Divine drifts are permanent spell like effects.
