The Invoker of the Forgotten is one who has learned to speak the language of reality to bend to his will and learned to call upon the strengths of souls and beings long forgotten to the world. Through careful study and research he has learned to use his reality shattering magic to gain more control over the long lost spirits beyond the void.

Class Features

Utterances: The Invoker of the Forgotten gains additional utterances as he levels as though he gained a level of truenamer.

Binding: The Invoker of the Forgotten may continue to bind vestiges, he is able to bind vestiges as a binder of equal to his level plus his binder levels, thus a Binder 3 Invoker of the Forgotten 5 counts as an 8th level Binder for the purpose of determining level of Vestiges his can bind.

Research Vestiges Truename:You may research a vestiges truename. You must succeed a number of knowledge: history checks equal to the vestiges level, the DC is 10 + 2x the vestiges level, and it takes 1 week of research per check and cost 1,000 gp. A failed check requires you to start over. Once you know the vestiges truename you are able to call more power from it. Before making a binding check make a truespeak check equal to the 15 + 2x the vestiges level, if successful you reduce your binding DC by 5 and gain an additional pact augmentation. An Invoker of the Forgotten can research up to one vestige per level in Invoker of the Forgotten.

Pact Augmentation: As Binder ability except 3 additional abilities may be chosen from.
Fluent Uttering: +1 Truespeak Checks
Resistance Protection: You may choose not to invoke the law of resistance 1 x day.
Suppress Will: If you researched and learned a vestiges truename, you no longer have to perform the special requirements when binding it.

Soul Guardian: As binder ability, at level 3 you become immune to fear, and level 5 you gain the slippery mind ability and at level 7 you are immune to energy drain attacks and negative level loss.

Bonus Recitation Feat: You gain a bonus recitation feat of your choice, you must meet the requirements for the recitation feat to select it.

Dismiss: If you have successfully researched a Vestiges Truename, you may choose to dismiss a bound vestige. This functions as the Expel Vestige feat except you must make a successful Truespeak Check DC 10 plus the vestiges level. You may dismiss a number of Vestiges a day equal to your charisma modifier. The Law of Resistance applies to this ability.

Awaken Vestige: When Binding a Vestige whose truename you have successfully researched, you may make a truespeak check to draw the vestige out further from the void between the realm and gain more power from it. The Truespeak DC is equal to 10+the Binding Check DC. If successful you gain an additional Pact Augmentation, the benefits of the Rapid Recovery Feat ( ToM pg 74) and a +2 to the save DCs of any of the Vestiges granted special abilities.

08-31-07, 06:17 PM Nice, will post more later, ut the capstone ability seems kinda weak as a feat does the same thing without any checks. osrry in a rush post more later.

Wow, I've never noticed this feat, I'll definitely have to change up that ability then.

08-31-07, 06:30 PM I'd really appreciate if the two of you could help me out with my Tome of Magic Expansion Project. Especially in the Fixing of Truename Magic aspect. Soon I'll fleshing out the fluff for each section and then beginning to delve into the mechanics and design of the new classes.

(Just as a special teaser for the two of you, here's a bit more info on the two Truename classes I'm planning for the expansion project. The Egocaster is a skilled class, 6+ skills, that combines abilities similar to the Acolyte of the Ego and the Fatemaker - Planar Handbook. It gains Utterances at a 2/3 progression of the Truenamer and has many charisma based class features. The Truthseeker is a full BAB class with a 1/2 Utterance progression. It will still have access even to the Lexicon of the Perfected Map and its flavor will resemble a fusion between the Ranger and the Monk - as perhaps will its class features.)

Oops, forgot to mention my thoughts on the class. Nicely done, especially with the new Pact Augmentations. You definitely need to fix that capstone, but other than that solid flavor and the power level seems on par with other hybrid classes.

I'm up for it, it will help expand the Tome of Secrets and I can point people who've done tome of magic projects in your direction to help further expand your work.

Sounds really cool, look forward to it.

Thank you, right now I have put a patch on the Suppress Will, I might give it sooner (or perhaps as a pact augmentation) and come up with a better ability for 9th level.

08-31-07, 06:49 PM Alright, Suppress will has been changed to a pact augmentation, awaken vestige is the capstone ability, and a new ability dismiss has been added to level 4.

08-31-07, 07:04 PM Ah, I like the new abilities. They add to the power in a subtle and versatile way. I bet this class is a helluva a lot of fun!

09-19-07, 06:19 PM I'd say raise the DC on Research Vestige Truename, and/or limit the number of vestiges researched. Maybe 1/level. Otherwise you'll just research like a dozen, and get extra augmentations on all of 'em. Also, you can enter as a binder 1/truenamer 5, so make sure to take that into account.

Researching up to one per level seems fair, I'll go ahead and change it to that.
