Prerequesites Bab: 5+ Feats: Admantine mindblade or Silver Mindblade (dragon 341), point-blank shot, combat casting Skills: Psi-craft 8 ranks, Spell craft 8 ranks, Profession (weaver) 8 ranks Special: Able to cast second level spells, shape mindblade, throw mindblade HD: d8 Bab: 3/4 Good Saves: Reflex and Will Poor Saves: Fortitude Skill points per level: 4+intelligence modifier Class Skills: Level Special 1 Spell strike, Spellweaver abilities, + 1 Effective level of soulknife 2 Psychic strike +1d8, + 1 spellcaster level 3 Bladestorm Spellweave, + 1 Effective level of soulknife 4 Bladewoven spell, + 1 spellcaster level 5 Psychic Strike +2d8, Signature weaves, + 1 Effective level of soulknife 6 Psychic Edge, + 1 spellcaster level 7 Metamagic Blade, + 1 Effective level of soulknife 8 Psychic Strike +3d8, + 1 spellcaster level 9 Psychic Recharge, + 1 Effective level of soulknife 10 Spell Weaver Mastery, + 1 spellcaster level Weapons and Armor: A blade weaver gains no new armor proficiency. At fifth level a Bladeweaver gains proficiency with any 3 simple, martial, or exotic weapons of her choice. Spellcasting: At 2nd and every other level thereafter (4th, 6th, etc.), a bladeweaver gains new spells per day as if she had gained a level in a spellcasting class she belonged to before adding the prestige class, She does not gain any other benefits that a character of that class would gain except for an increased spell caster level. If she had more than one spell casting class before becoming a blade weaver she must choose which class she adds the new level for purposes of determining spells per day. Effective level of soulknife: At first and every other level there after (3rd, 5th, etc.) a blade weaver increases her effective level for determining the enhancement bonus and total value of the enhancement abilities she may assign her mindblade by 1. Spellstrike (su): At first level a Bladeweaver learns to channel her spells directly through her mindblade as pure eldritch energy. As a free action a Blade weaver may burn any of her daily spell slots or prepared spells, and gain a +1 on attack rolls and a +1d4 on her damage rolls with her mindblade per level of the spell lost. These bonuses last until the begining of her next turn. Spellweaver Abilities : A spell weaver may add these enhancement abilities to her mindblade when assigning its abilities. Spellstoring, Magebane, Flaming (burst), Shocking (burst), Frost (burst), Sonic (burst), Acidic (burst), (need some more ideas here) Bladestorm Spellweave (su): A number of times per day equal to her class level + her intelligence modifier a Bladeweaver may cast an area spell infused with shards of psionic force. Every creature in the area of the spell's affect takes damage as if struck by the Bladeweaver's mindblade. Bladewoven spell (su): Whenever a Bladeweaver casts a weapon-like spell (i.e. any ray, or missle spell) she has the option to throw her mindblade as part of the casting. The Bladeweaver makes the attack roll as if she was throwing her mindblade normally, if it hits the both the mindblade and the spell are considered hits. In addition the target's spell resistance (if any) is reduced by one-half the bladeweaver's class level, against the spell carried by the mindblade. This ability may be used with touch ranged spells as well but in that case the blade weaver makes a melee attack instead of a thrown attack. Signature weaves (su): Choose three spell descriptors (acid, light, good, etc.), and for each descriptor choose three simple, martial , or exotic weapons, you gain proficiency whith those three weapons. In addition whenever a bladeweaver uses one of her class abilities with a spell with one of the three descriptors, she can instantly reshape her mindblade into the associated weapon as part of the casting. Furthermore Each of these Weapons can be assigned enhancement abilities seperately from her base mindblade settings. If a spell has multiple descriptors that match a bladeweaver's chosen three, then the blade weaver can use either weapon. Psychic edge (su): Whenever a blade weaver uses one of her class abilities while her mindblade is charged with psychic strike, the spell's save DC (if any) increases by +1 for each extra dice of psychic strike damage. Metamagic Blade (su): If a spell has a metamagic feat applied to it and a Bladeweaver uses whith one of her class abilities she mayhave the feat apply to her mindblade as well. This ability only applies to the base damage dice of the Mindblade, not to set numerical bonuses, or to the bonus damage dice from psychic strike, psionic weapon, or enhancement abilities. Certain feats like heighten spell may not affect damage of a spell and so do not work with this ability. Psychic Recharge (su): Whenever a blade weaver casts a spell and the target saves against the DC She may use the wasted power to recharge her Psychic strike ability without taking an action to do so. She may only use this ability once per round. Spellweaver mastery: ??? Ok this class is mostly finished but it needs work, mostly a better list of enhancement ability options, and a good capstone ability. Questions? suggestions? comments?

rampant 05-11-07, 08:53 PM	I know but considering how nasty some of the abilities can be I decided to be conservative with the first posted version. would you suggest bumping to 7/10 each?
