Many a young hero leaves home, seeking fame and fortune, but lacking any major skills.  The Adventurer class represents such folk.

Role:
The Adventurer is very flexible, and can grow into whatever role you desire, though he is usually never quite as good as a more specialized character.

Hit Dice and Ability Scores

The Adventurer uses d4 Hit Dice.

Any Ability can be useful to the Adventurer — the “classless” class of Anime d20. The most important Ability depends on the character concept.

Class Skills and Skill Points

All non-combat Skills are class Skills for the Adventurer.

• Skill Points at 1st Level = (4 + Int Modifier) x 4
• Skill Points at Each Additional Level = 4 + Int modifier

Adventurers are extremely flexible, though they are built on slightly less Character Points than other classes as a result.
 

Arcane Archer [Gun Bunny]

The art of the Arcane Archer has been discovered twice in the Pellian region of Karinth, once by the Elves and once by the Halflings.  Arcane Archers focus their magical potential through archery, destroying their foes with carefully placed shots.  They learn how to enchant their weapons and even to call forth weapons from nowhere; once they start shooting, they never seem to run out of arrows.
 

Role:
While not front-line fighters, Arcane Archers can hold their own if forced to resort to melee or unarmed combat, being fairly tough.  They truly shine, however, in ranged combat.  Their skill set also makes them well suited for the jobs of investigation and bounty hunting.

Hit Dice and Ability Scores

The Arcane Archer uses d8 Hit Dice.

Dexterity is the most important Ability for an Arcane Archer. Most combat is ranged, and an Arcane Archer is more focused on avoiding damage than enduring it. Charisma is often useful, as many Arcane Archers prefer to talk their way out of any fight that starts too close to use a bow.

Class Skills and Skill Points

The Arcane Archer’s class Skills (and the key Ability for each) are:

• Balance (Dex), Bluff (Cha), Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Gamble (Wis), Gather Information (Cha), Intimidate (Cha), Investigate (Int), Jump (Str), Listen (Wis), Powerlifting (Str), Read Lips (Int), Seduction (Cha), Sense Motive (Wis), Speak Languages (Int), Sports (Str, Dex, or Con), Spot (Wis),
• Archery, Ranged Defence, Special Ranged Attack

• Skill Points at 1st Level = (4 + Int Modifier) x 4
• Skill Points at Each Additional Level = 4 + Int modifier

Arcane Archer Feature:
Pick one from this List:

• Arrow Lore:  You know more about archers, archery, and missile weapons than anyone normally needs to know.  This functions as a skill equal to 3+your level as an Arcane Archer (Intelligence based).  A successful check can identify any archer, figure out where a bow or its ammo was made, and can function as an identify spell with regard to bows and their ammunition and any accessory magics.
• Blind-Shooting Feat:  You can take the Blind-Shooting feat for free.
• Conjure Ammunition:  You have an effectively infinite supply of ordinary arrows, as you are able to conjure them as fast as you shoot them.
• Piercing Arrow:  Your arrows now count as one plus higher in order to defeat damage reduction.  You can take this multiple times.
• Portable Armory:  You can cram as much ammunition as you want into a quiver.

Enhanced Damage:  Each level adds +2 damage with arrows and bolts

Luck:  Each level of Luck lets you reroll one die per session of your choice.  You can take the better of the two results.
 
 
 

Barbarian

Most of the Barbarians of Karinth are humanoids, although wild elves live to the west of Alfheim and human barbarians are known to live to the distant west, beyond the mountains.  Barbarians are bold, heroic warriors, used to life in the wilderness, who go berserk in battle.  Barbarians are said to be the hardest to kill beings in the universe.

Role:
Barbarians are fairly good at wilderness survival, but are strongest as front-line melee fighters.  They can take a beating like no one's business. They also move very quickly.
 

Hit Dice and Ability Scores

The Barbarian uses d12 Hit Dice.
 

Class Skills and Skill Points

The Barbarian’s class Skills (and the key Ability for each) are:

• Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Decipher Script (Int), Handle Animal (Cha), Hide (Dex), Intimidate (Wis), Jump (Str), Knowledge: All Knowledge Skills (Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Navigate (Int), Powerlifting (Str), Ride (Dex), Swim (Str), Wilderness Lore (Wis), Wilderness Tracking (Wis)
• Archery, Melee Attack, Melee Defense, Thrown Weapons, Unarmed Attack, and Unarmed Defence.

• Skill Points at 1st Level = (4 + Int Modifier) x 4
• Skill Points at Each Additional Level = 4 + Int modifier

Illiteracy:  All Barbarians start out illiterate, and must spend 2 skill points to gain Literacy if he wants it.

Physical Conditioning:  Due to honing his body to perfection, the Barbarian gains 2 points to distrubte as he likes among Strength, Constitution, or Dexterity

Rage:  By taking an action and burning one point of Energy, the barbarian can go berserk for a number of rounds equal to his level, once per combat.  (A number of times per day dependent on level; see the chart above).

• +4 Strength
• +4 Constitution
• +2 Morale Bonus to Will Saves
• -2 AC
• Unable to use skills which require concentration, patience, being quiet, or focusing on anything but killing a lot

Speed:  Barbarians are quick.  Each level of Speed adds 10' base movement and +2 to Initiative.

Trap Sense:  Each level of Trap Sense grants a +1 to save and AC vs. traps.

Uncanny Dodge:  The Barbarian retains his Dex bonus to his AC even when flat-footed, unless he is immobilized.

Unflankable:  The Barbarian cannot be flanked.

Wilderness Survival:  Barbarians live outdoors; for each level of this they possess, they gain a +3 to any skill checks in a particular outdoor environment which are aimed towards survival in that environment.
 

Bard

Bards are highly regarded in Karinth, both for their entertaining skills and the lore they have preserved.  Many bards are simply trained master to apprentice, but there are several bardic colleges which some bards join as well.  Such colleges are a cross between a theatre troupe and a guild.  Every race becomes bards, but humans and elves like to dispute which of them invented the profession first.

Role:
Bards are flexible characters, mixing some degree of fighting ability, some degree of magic, and a lot of ability to influence people.  They are also loremasters, well versed in the tales of the past and the world of the present.  They are good for people who wish to solve problems through diplomacy and wit.

Hit Dice and Ability Scores

The bard uses d6 Hit Dice.

Bards need Charisma most of all, though Dexerity and Intelligence also help.
 

Class Skills and Skill Points

The Bard’s class Skills (and the key Ability for each) are:

• Alchemy (Int), Appraise (Int), Balance (Dex), Bluff (Cha), Climb (Str), Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Decipher Script (Int), Diplomacy (Cha),  Disguise (Cha), Escape Artist (Dex), Forgery (Int), Gather Information (Cha), Hide (Dex), Jump (Str), Knowledge: All Knowledge Skills (Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Perform (Cha), Pick Pocket (Dex), Profession (Wis), Read Lips (Int), Scry (Int), Sense Motive (Wis), Sleight of Hand (Dex), Speak Languages (Int), Spellcraft (Int), Swim (Str), Tumble (Dex), Use Magic Device (Cha)
• Archery, Melee Attack, Thrown Weapons, Unarmed Attack, and Unarmed Defence.

• Skill Points at 1st Level = (4 + Int Modifier) x 4
• Skill Points at Each Additional Level = 4 + Int modifier

Art of Distraction:  Bards are very good at drawing attention to themselves and keeping it.  In a non-combat situation, a Bard can draw and keep the attention of 10^(X-1) people by using one of his entertainment skills (Sleight of Hand, Perform, etc), where X is his level in Art of Distraction.  Those under the influence of Art of Distraction must make a Will save with a DC of the Bard's check in the skill he is using, or else they suffer 3*X as a penalty to all Spot and Listen checks and will tend to watch the Bard instead of anything else.

Bardic Knowledge:  Bards are loremasters, who accumulate vast amounts of lore.  They gain 4 skill points to be spent on Knowledge skills or Languages only at every level.

Bardic Music:  Once per day per level, the Bard can produce magical effects through musical performance.  Each has a minimal level of Perform skill required.

• Countersong:  Perform 3.  By burning one point of Energy, the Bard may perform a Countersong.  All friendly creatures within 30 feet may use the result of a Perform check by him in place of a saving throw against any sound or language based effect.  Once he has begun, he may keep playing a number of rounds equal to his level before he has to expend more Energy.
• Fascinate:  Perform 3.  The bard can force someone within 90 feet of him to sit and listen to him play for a number of rounds equal to his level if the target fails a Will save with a DC equal to his Performance check result.  If anyone attacks the target during the performance, the effect ends, but the attack itself gains a +4 to hit the target, who suffers a -4 to Spot and Listen checks to realize imminent danger.  (If he fails the checks, he is also flat-footed.)
• Inspire Courage:  Perform 3.  The bard can, for the duration of his performance and five rounds after he stops, inspire all companions in the sound of his voice and music.  They gain a +2 morale bonus to save vs. magical fear or any other emotion-influencing magic and a +1 morale bonus to attack and damage rolls.
• Inspire Competence:  Perform 6.  The bard can help a friend perform any skill which would not be defeated by the presence of someone playing music.  (For example, you can't really help someone hide with it.)  So long as the Bard keeps playing, the target gains a Morale Bonus equal to 1 + 1/4th the level of the Bard.
• Loresong.  Perform 6.  The Loresong is not easily sung, as it requires extensive preparation (4 hours) and meditation using special, expensive incense. (100 GP value).  When performed, it functions as an Identify spell; the bard finds himself actually singing the properties of the items in question.
• Suggestion.  Perform 9.  Once the Bard Fascinates someone, he can use Suggestion (as per the spell) on him once without using another Bardic Music use.  He can lay multiple suggestions at the cost of one use of his powers each.
• Improved Countersong.  Perform 12.  The Bard can now counter-song any spell with a somatic component as well.
• Inspire Heroism.  Perform 12.  The Bard is now able to inspire people to great feats of heroism, for the duration of his performance and five rounds after he stops, inspire all companions in the sound of his voice and music.  They gain a +4 morale bonus to save vs. magical fear or any other emotion-influencing magic and a +2 morale bonus to attack and damage rolls. They also gain 2 extra hit dice of hit points, which are lost first, before their normal hit points.

Bardic Reputation:  High-level Bards are eagerly sought out as entertainers and can gain access to all sorts of places which often have restricted access.  A Bard with this feature may use his Perform skill to persuade someone to invite him to a party, let him into a snooty restaurant, bring him to the secret cult meeting, etc.   For every level of Bardic Reputation he has, he makes the check at a +3.
 

Bardic Sorcery:  (22 points) Bards learn magical songs which produce effects similar to the spells of Sorcerors and Wizards.  He has no need to memorize spells or keep a songbook, but knows only a handful of spells he has intuited the use of over the years, depending on his level.

The DC to save vs. his spells is 10 + Level of Spell + Charisma Bonus.

He can only cast spells of a level equal to his Charisma - 10.  He gains Bonus spells from his Charisma.

Cleric

Every race has priests.  They serve the Saints and the Saints grant them power.  In some nations, they are respected, in others resented.  Each Saint organizes or fails to organize his servants in his own manner; PC Clerics are typically members of troubleshooter orders within the hiearchy.

Role:
Clerics make good back up combatants, and provide magical support services as well.  Their easy access to healing magics makes them invaluable to parties, as well as their powers over the undead.  Clerics are one of the major spell-casting classes.
 

Hit Dice and Ability Scores

The Cleric uses d8 Hit Dice.

Wisdom is their key Ability, although Intelligence and Charisma also help, and the physical stats if you intend to wade into combat.
 

Class Skills and Skill Points

The Cleric’s class Skills (and the key Ability for each) are:

• Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha),  Heal (Wis), Knowledge: Arcana (Int),  Knowledge: Religion (Int), Profession (Wis), Scry (Int), Speak Languages (Int), Spellcraft (Int)
• Choose an attack and defense skill appropriate to your diety as class skills

• Skill Points at 1st Level = (2 + Int Modifier) x 4
• Skill Points at Each Additional Level = 2 + Int modifier

Clerical Magic:
Clerics pray to their gods for spells, either at dawn for good clerics, at sunset for evil clerics, and at noon for neutral clerics.  This requires one hour of meditation.

DC: 10 + Spell Level + Wisdom Bonus

Clerics know all spells of each level they can cast, and gain two domains, which they choose out of a list of domains controlled by their deity.  They can cast any spell from those domains up to the highest level they can cast.  Each domain also grants them a power.

Clerics recieve bonus spells for high Wisdom, and also can cast one Domain spell of each level of spells as a bonus spell.

A cleric may choose to convert one memorized spell into a cure spell of the same level (if good), an inflict wounds spell of the same level (if evil), or a domain spell (any alignment).  (Neutral clerics can either convert spells to cures or inflict wounds, but not both; they must choose one or the other when they take their first level as a cleric.)

Turn Undead:

3 + Char. Bonus times a day, a cleric may either turn or command undead.  Good clerics turn them, evil clerics command them, and neutral clerics pick which power they want.
 
 

Dragon-Mage [Sorceror]

It was the revolt of the Dragons which triggered the Age of Chaos.  And their greatest weapons were the Dragon-Mages, members of every race who were descended of matings with Dragons.  Many of them, perhaps most perished in the Age of Chaos, but the blood of Dragons lives on in every race, and at times, it surfaces, granting mystical powers to those who bear it.

In the Present Era, the Southern Elves are ruled by Dragon-Mages, and the decadent Cithian Empire beyond the mountains is said to be ruled by strange squid-like Dragon-Mages from beneath the earth.  Cilgin is ruled by them as well, and they are strong in Balin.

Role:
Dragon-Mages are the most flexible spell casters and can cast the most spells.  However, they have very tiny spell selection, compared to other spellcasters.  One must pick one's spells carefully as one rises in level, with an eye to the long and short term.

They are extremely flimsy, so be careful.
 

Hit Dice and Ability Scores

The Dragon-Magi uses d4 Hit Dice.

Dragon-mages need Charisma above all else, but Intelligence is crucial for their class-skills and
 

Class Skills and Skill Points

The Dragon-Magi’s class Skills (and the key Ability for each) are:

• Alchemy (Int), Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Knowledge (Arcana) (Int), Profession (Wis), Scry (Int), Spellcraft (Int)
• Ranged Defense

• Skill Points at 1st Level = (2 + Int Modifier) x 4
• Skill Points at Each Additional Level = 2 + Int modifier

Dragon-Magic

The Dragon-Mage does not prepare spells in advance, rather he draws upon mystical energy as he pleases and weaves it into the mystic patterns which perform his magic.  As he grows in strength, more and more of the draconic lore latent in his veins activates, awakening new abilities.  He knows few powers compared to the breadth of a wizard, but he can use his spells more frequently than a normal Wizard.

He gains bonus spells from Charisma, and his DC for his spells is 10 + Level of the Spell + Charisma Bonus.

Fighter

In every era, the sturdy Fighters have been the front line of defense against foes and the first line of attack.  They are very flexible combatants, studying all the arts of battle, though usually specializing in one area.  They lack the mystic abilities of many other classes, but are generally content with their ability to hack mystics into very small bits.

The Dwarves are especially noted for their skill as Fighters, but every race has them.

Hit Dice and Ability Scores

The Fighter uses d10 Hit Dice.

Melee-Oriented Fighters need Strength to do extra damage, and Constitution to take a huge beating.  Dexterity also helps to improve their AC.

Archery-Oriented Fighters need Dexterity to aid their AC, and Constitution to take a beating when necessary.  Strength is useful if they have to fight it out hand to hand after all.
 

Class Skills and Skill Points

The Fighter’s class Skills (and the key Ability for each) are:

• Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Handle Animal (Cha), Jump (Str), Powerlifting (Str), Ride (Dex),  Swim (Str)
• All Combat Skills are Class Skills

• Skill Points at 1st Level = (4 + Int Modifier) x 4
• Skill Points at Each Additional Level = 4 + Int modifier

• 8 Extra Skill Points
• +1 AC
• 1d8 Extra Hit Points
• +2 to one Saving Throw
• Learn new Class Skill, gaining 4 adds in it immediately.
• +4 to Initiative
• 4 points to distribute among Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution

Knight [Samurai]

In every feudal nation, a class of elite warriors arise, born to command and to follow their feudal lord.  Knights learn how to get others to follow them into battle, and how to fight in battle.  The arts of the Knights were first developed by the Elves in this region of Karinth, and have since spread to humanity.  The Gnomes and Halflings have little use for nobility, and the Dwarves are not noted for speed or grace.

Probably because of the Elvish influence, Knights are expected to have some degree of social grace and artistic skill as well as the ability to turn their foes into kibble.  The social graces are your weapons for the battle of court life, after all.

Role:
Knights are noble warriors, combining the ability to fight with the social graces of the nobility.  They are leaders and diplomats as well.

In combat, Knights tend to be front-line warriors.

Hit Dice and Ability Scores

The Knight uses d10 Hit Dice.

A Knight is very physical, with a high Strength and often higher Constitution. A Samurai also refines him or herself culturally, reflected by his or her respectable Intelligence and Charisma Scores.

Class Skills and Skill Points

The Knight’s class Skills (and the key Ability for each) are:

• Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Gather Information (Cha), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge: Cultural Arts (Int), Knowledge: Domestic Arts, Knowledge: Foreign Culture (Int), Knowledge: Religion (Int), Knowledge: Social Sciences (Int), Knowledge: Streetwise (Int), Listen (Wis), Perform (Cha), Ride (Dex), Search (Int), Sense Motive (Wis), Speak Languages (Int), Spot (Wis), Survival (Wis), Wilderness Tracking (Int or Wis),
• Archery, Melee Attack, and Melee Defence.

Skill Points:

• Skill Points at 1st Level = (4 + Int Modifier) x 4
• Skill Points at Each Additional Level = 4 + Int modifier

Aura of Command:  People naturally follow the lead of a Knight.  Each level of Aura of Command gives a +3 bonus to any skill check to motivate people to follow his lead in a situation.  This bonus also adds to his Leadership rating if he takes the Leadership feat.

Knightly Feat:  Any Melee Feat, Horsemanship Feat, or Leadership (once you are 6th level)

Rich:  Knights are typically fairly wealthy, and begin play with 600 GP worth of gear.

Mighty Stroke:  The character must choose a specialty weapon.  With that weapon, he does +2 damage for each level of this ability.

Speed:  Knights gradually learn to move faster, even in heavy armor.  Each level of Speed adds 10' base movement and +2 to Initiative.

Tap Reserves:  When desperate, the Knight can draw on his energy reserves to increase his attack potency.  He can inflict 2 extra points of damage for every point of Energy he burns, to a maximum of twice his level on any given blow.
 
 

Magical Girl

The Saints work in mysterious ways.  One of those ways, in the current age, is the selection of certain individuals (usually female), to gain mystic powers and use them for good (or sometimes for evil), with the help of an advisor sent them by the Saints.  Every race produces them, but they seem especially common among the gnomes.

Roles
Magical Girls serve as back-up fighters, with less melee ability than a top-line combatant, but still fairly skillful and fairly able to take a beating.  They have some artillery capability through their special attacks, and generally make good diplomats as well.  Their advisor usually is a source of some unusual talents for those they join.
 

Hit Dice and Ability Scores
The Magical Girl uses d8 Hit Dice

Magical Girls rely on Dexterity to avoid getting hurt and to move around quickly and nimbly.  Many are very Charismatic as well, friends to all.

Class Skills and Skill Points

The Magical Girl’s class Skills (and the key Ability for each) are:

• Balance (Dex), Diplomacy (Cha), Disguise (Cha),  Jump (Str), Knowledge: Arcane (Int), Knowledge: Cultural Arts (Int), Knowledge: Occult (Int), Perform (Cha), Profession (Int), Sense Motive (Wis), Speak Languages (Int), Sports (Str, Dex, or Con), Spot (Wis), Swim (Str), Tumble (Dex),
• Archery, Ranged Defence, Special Ranged Attack, and Thrown Weapons.

• Skill Points at 1st Level = (2 + Int Modifier) x 4
• Skill Points at Each Additional Level = 2 + Int modifier

Advisor:  Every magical girl has some sort of advisor, which is usually a magical animal.  Your advisor starts out with half your Character Levels (or level 1 if you are level 1 in Character Levels) in the Adventurer class, and 40 discretionary Character Points.  If you have unspent Character Points, you can buy ten more discretionary character points for your advisor for every 2 of your own Character Points you spend, to a maximum of sixty.

Elemental Resistance:  The Magical Girl learns to resist one form of energy, gaining 10 points of armor against it.  She can pick a different type for each level of this, or stack it.  Most choose resistance to their own power, but you don't have to.  She can extend this protection to anyone she is touching by spending 1 Energy Point every 10 minutes.

Eternal Form:

• While transformed, the Magical Girl gains +6 to Dexterity, Strength, and Constitution, instead of +4
• The Magical Girl stops aging.
• She can now use all her Class Features, even when not transformed, if she has the Energy to use them.

Exalted Form:

• While transformed, the Magical Girl gains +4 to Dexterity, Strength, and Constitution, instead of +2
• An Exalted Magical Girl ages at 1/5th the normal speed

• Level 1:  By burning 5 Energy points, the Magical Girl can sprout wings and Fly, as per the spell.
• Each level of Flight past the first increases Flight speed by 10' per round and reduces the Energy cost by 1.

Levitate:  By burning 3 Energy points, the Magical Girl can cast Levitate.

Rejuvenation:  For every level of Rejuvenation, the character can, by taking a partial action, summon their will and recover five energy points or five hit points once a day.  If the character has multiple levels of Rejuvenation, they can blow all their uses in a single action if they want to.

Special Attack:
Magical Girls learn to call upon magical energies to produce a ranged (or possibly melee) attack of some form of energy or element.   It has a base range of Medium (100 feet + 10 feet / level).  It costs 1 Energy Point to use your Special Attack, which is aimed with the Special Ranged Attack skill.

Each level lets you buy one of the following qualities for it:

• 1d8 damage
• Accurate:  You are a crack shot with your special attack, gaining +4 to hit.
• Area Affect: 5' radius for each level invested
• Burning Damage:  The attack does lingering damage, doing half its initial damage each round to the target for a number of rounds equal to the level of the Special Attack.

• Slow:  It takes a full action to activate the power, which goes off on your initiative as a partial action the next round.

Super Form:

• While transformed, the Magical Girl gains +2 to Dexterity, Strength, and Constitution.
• The Magical Girl gains 20 points of Energy to her normal pool rating.

Transformation Sequence:  By expending one point of Energy and taking a partial action, the Magical Girl can transform between her 'normal' and 'magical' forms.  She must enter her magical form to use her Class Features (except for Advisor) until she gains the Exalted Form feature.  Her two forms are not recognizable as the same person and may have different colored hair, eyes, and skin tones.  The magical form may be up to six inches taller or shorter than the normal form.

She may remain transformed until she runs out of Energy points, and then turns back to normal.

If hit by a Dispel Magic successfully, the Magical Girl reverts back to her normal form, and must transform again, until she gains Exalted Form.
 
 

Martial Artist

The Old Ones developed an ancient path of mystical self-perfection, some of which is still practiced by Monks.  However, the servant races found it easier to apply the parts of the art for 'beating people down' than for 'self-perfection'.  A wide variety of such arts are practiced, especially by peasants oppressed by cruel nobles.

Every race studies Martial Arts, but the Dwarves and Gnomes and Halflings are most noted as practicioners of this art.

Role:
Martial Artists are front-line fighters, able to go toe to toe with anything which can be punched to death.  Don't count on them for ranged support, though.

Speed:  You are quick.  Each level of Speed adds 10' base movement and +2 to Initiative.

Ninja

During the Pellian empire, the great noble houses developed their own hereditary spy networks.  These spies became semi-magical assassins and infiltrators, and their art was honed during the collapse of the empire.

The necessity of secrecy had led to the creation of entire families dedicated to this art.  These families retreated to hidden refuges and rode out the collapse of the Pellian Empire from within them.  Now they have emerged, and no one is sure what their agendas are.  Some houses serve the new nations, others run crime syndicates, and yet others pursue plans so arcane, even they often are not sure what they're doing.
 
 
 

Hit Dice and Ability Scores

Oathbound [Sentai Member]

In union, there is strength.  Where Sacred Warriors tend to be wandering lone champions of a faith, Oathbound are those of the faithful (or groups of friends) who band together and swear a sacred oath which unites them.  Combined, their strength is greater than any of them alone.  Should they break that oath, they must atone, losing their class features until they do so.

Hit Dice and Ability Scores

The Oathbound uses d6 Hit Dice.

A Oathbound focuses on teamwork and tactics, and thus usually has a high Wisdom and Dexterity. A high Charisma is also common, reflecting his or her flamboyant attitude.

Class Skills and Skill Points

The Oathbound’s class Skills (and the key Ability for each) are:

• Balance (Dex), Diplomacy (Cha), Jump (Str), Knowledge:  Arcana (Int), Knowledge: Occult (Int), Knowledge:  Religion (Int), Listen (Wis), Perform (Cha), Search (Int), Sense Motive (Wis), Speak Languages (Int), Spot (Wis), Tumble (Dex),
• Archery, Melee Attack, Melee Defence, Ranged Defense, Special Ranged Attack, Unarmed Attack, Unarmed Defense

Skill Points

• Skill Points at 1st Level = (4 + Int Modifier) x 4
• Skill Points at Each Additional Level = 4 + Int modifier

Combined Attack:  The Oathbound learns how to pool his powers with those of others.  It costs 2 Energy points per person participating in the combined attack for a group of Oathbound (or others with this power) to combine their powers, in addition to the normal Energy cost of the Special Attack.  You can combine with twice your level in this Feature worth of people.  When you pool your powers, if the attack hits, you add all the damage dice together and then double the number of dice for the damage the attack does.  The target has a defense roll penalty of -1 per person involved.  The attack goes off on the worst initiative involved.

Empathy (Fellow Oathbound):  You can sense the feelings and physical condition of your fellow Oathbound (and other believers in your faith), if they are within Medium (100 feet + 10 feet per level) of you.  If they wish to hide their status, you both make opposed Will saves; whoever gets a higher total gets what they want.

Energy Boost:  The Oathbound gains 10 points of Energy

Oath-Keeper's Luck:  Once per session for each level of this, the Oathbound can reroll a single roll, and take whichever of the two results is better.

Oath-Magic:

The gods reward those who swear and keep Holy Oaths with a portion of their power, granting them spells like Clerics, if not so many as a true priest.  Evil Oathbound prepare their spells at nightfall, Good Oathbound at sunrise, and Neutral ones at Noon or Midnight, as they desire.

Save DC:  10 + Level of Spell + Wisdom Bonus of the Oathbound.

Oathbound do get bonus spells for high Wisdom.

Sixth Sense (Danger to Fellow Oathbound):  If a fellow Oathbound  (and other believers in your faith) is within Medium Range (100 feet + 10 feet per level), the Oathbound senses if they are in danger automatically if they are themselves aware of it, and can make a Spot and Listen check as if present to sense imminent danger to them.

Telepathy (Fellow Oathbound):  You can now telepathically communicate with your fellow Oathbound (and other believers in your faith), if they are within Medium (100 feet + 10 feet per level) of you.  Such contact is a free action.  You can also read their surface thoughts by an effort of will (this requires a partial action.)  If they wish to hide their thoughts, you both make opposed Will saves; whoever gets a higher total gets what they want.

Every race has its scalliwags and bounders, those who live by their wits instead of by their blades or their hard work.  Rogues range from heroic scouts to murderous bandits, but all are devoted to avoiding an honest day's work.  Halflings are the well noted for producing the best rogues, even though most halflings are about as far from a Rogue as you can get.

Scholar

Only in more settled times has the art of Scholarship been renewed, though the Dwarves and the Gnomes and the Elves preserved much lore during the dark times.  Scholars are bound together into a loose network of correspondents who trade books and ideas across national boundaries.  Scholars are greatly respected in the civilized lands; the barbarians, on the other hand, tend to mock them.

Members of the Scholar class tend to be among the more adventurous of their fellows, the ones who go out and accidentally stir up ancient evils in pursuit of knowledge.  As a result, they have some degree of magical ability to back up their lore.

Hit Dice and Ability Scores

A Scholar uses d4 Hit Dice.

Scholars especially need Intelligence, followed by Charisma for debating and Wisdom, for knowing when it is too dangerous to follow a line of knowledge.
 

Class Skills and Skill Points

The Scholar’s class Skills (and the key Ability for each) are:

• Bluff (Cha), Climb (Str), Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Decipher Script (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Disable Device (Int), Gamble (Wis), Gather Information (Cha), Knowledge:  All Knowledge Skills (Int), Navigate (Int), Open Locks (Dex), Perform (Cha), Profession (Int), Research (Int), Sense Motive (Wis), Speak Languages (Int), Spellcraft (Int), Sports (Str, Dex, or Con), Swim (Str) and Use Magical Device (Wis).
• They may choose a single Combat skill as a class skill.

• Skill Points at 1st Level = (10 + Int Modifier) x 4
• Skill Points at Each Additional Level = 10 + Int modifier

Academic Contacts:  Scholars keep in touch and have many correspondence friends.  When entering a community for the first time, you may make a Diplomacy check with a difficulty set by the size of the town.  If you make it, you have an academic contact there, who will happily put you up for a number of days equal to your level.  You gain a +4 bonus to any Gather Information checks in a town where you have a contact.

Benefit of Experience:  It's a little easier for a scholar to avoid making mistakes as he gains experience; for each level he has of this, he can reroll one die per session and take the better of the two results.

Cramming:  Scholars learn how to study very intensely in order to have vital knowledge when they need it, though it doesn't last long.  A scholar with access to appropriate materials can gain a knowledge skill for a number of days equal to his Intelligence Bonus with a rating of his Intelligence Bonus by studying for four hours per point gained.  This requires a Concentration check with a difficulty of 10 + 2*Bonus to be gained.

Debate:  Each level of Debate grants a +4 bonus to Bluff and Diplomacy checks intended to persuade someone to accept an academic argument made by the Scholar.

Long Hours:  The scholar learns how to get by on minimal levels of sleep.  Each level of Long Hours reduces his need for sleep by one hour.  (Every two levels reduces the amount of sleep he needs to get before memorizing new spells by one hour also.)

Mental Conditioning:  Over time, the Scholar hones his mind, gaining +2 to either Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma for every level he has of this.

Scholarly Reputation:  Scholars are well-respected figures; they can use their best Knowledge skill instead of Charisma to make checks to try to improve people's attitudes to them, unless the person they are influencing utterly hates all Scholars.

Trivia:  Over time, Scholars learn many bits of Trivia.  For each level they have of it, they can use 4 Knowledge skills unskilled.

Wizardry:  Scholars dabble in magic, but are not as good at it as full Wizards or Sorcerors.  They can use the full range of Wizard spells, if they can accumulate them, and keep spell books just like Wizards.

Scholars begin with four zero level spells in their spellbook, and gain one spell at each level, in addition to any accumulated as they go along.

Shapechanger

The exact source of the shifting powers of some humans, demi-humans, and humanoids remains debated.  Most believe it is probably the result either of the meddling of Dragons which produced the Dragon-Mages, or possibly due to some forgotten experiment of the Old Ones.  Regardless, it remains the case that some individuals develop the ability to shapeshift as they age.  Shapechangers are often not trusted, and many fear them.  The abilities are rarer, but more openly embraced by the humanoid races.

Aided Shapeshifting:  By burning 7 energy points, the Shifter can enable another person to enjoy the benefits of the Polymorph Other spell.  Its duration is set by the Shifter's level.

Alter Self: As the spell Alter Self, except the change is permanent until the Shifter changes shape again.  It costs 3 Energy Point to change shape in this way.  At 5th level, you gain the ability to use this on others, with their consent.

Change Self: As the spell Change Self, except the change is permanent until the Shifter changes shape again.  It costs 1 Energy Point to change shape in this way.  At 3rd level, you gain the ability to use this on others, with their consent.

Claws:  The character can sprout claws or fangs when they want to.  Their body weaponry does damage according to how many levels of this they have:

1. 1d4
2. 1d6
3. 1d8
4. 1d10
5. 2d6
6. 2d8
7. 3d6

Elasticity:  Each level of Elasticity adds +2 to Grappling checks, +1 to hit with Unarmed attacks, and enables you to stretch one of your limbs up to five times its normal length.  This effectively gives you 5 times your normal Reach.

Fast Healing:  You have the ability to speed your own healing; you can burn Energy and convert it into recovered Hit Points at a rate of 2 HP gained per Energy point spent.

Forced Shifting:  You can, by touch, cause others to suffer the effects of Polymorph Other, into a form of your choice.  This costs you 9 Energy Points.  Their saving throw has a DC of 18 + your Charisma Bonus.

Immortality:  Your body no longer ages.

Mimic:  This costs 9 Energy points and lasts for 10 minutes / level.  It enables the shifter to pass as another person, shapeshifting into a precise physical duplicate.  They gain access to that person's skills for the duration of the effect.

Organ Reconfiguration:  You have learned to move your vital organs around to where people wouldn't expect them to be, while appearing normal.  You are not subject to critical hits.

Organ Regeneration:  You can regrow lost bodyparts, given enough time.  An eye takes a day, an arm will take about a week.  You must eat like crazy during this time.

Polymorph Self:  As the spell Polymorph Self, treated as if you were a Sorceror of the same level.  It costs 7 Energy Points to activate this power.

Shifter Conditioning:  Your constant alterations to your body have made it stronger, or possibly your constant shifts of perspective have improved your mind.  Each time you gain a level of Shifter Conditioning, you can add 2 points to a single stat of your choice.

Slow Aging:  You now age at 1/5th the normal speed.
 
 

Student

The student is not native to this world, but comes from Modern Earth, where he or she had a fairly normal life before being sent to another world, usually because they are the chosen one.  Or because they cut the Chosen One off in traffic and happened to intercept the Chosen One's teleport ray by accident...

This class can also be used to build other relatively normal people from Earth.

Hit Dice and Ability Scores

A Student uses d4 Hit Dice.

A Student (at least a successful Student) has a high Intelligence and Dexterity, necessary to earn good grades and avoid the local bully.

Class Skills and Skill Points

The Student’s class Skills (and the key Ability for each) are:

• Computer Use (Int), Craft (Int), Decipher Script (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Gamble (Wis), Knowledge: Area (Int), Knowledge: Architecture (Int), Knowledge: Biological Sciences) (Int), Knowledge: Business (Int), Knowledge: Cultural Arts (Int), Knowledge: Domestic Arts (Int), Knowledge: Foreign Culture (Int), Knowledge: Law (Int), Knowledge: Nature (Int), Knowledge: Physical Sciences (Int), Knowledge: Religion (Int), Knowledge: Social Sciences (Int), Perform (Cha), Profession (Int), Research (Int), Speak Languages (Int), Sports (Str, Dex, or Con), and Swim (Str).

• Skill Points at 1st Level = (8 + Int Modifier) x 4
• Skill Points at Each Additional Level = 8 + Int modifier

Cramming:  Scholars learn how to study very intensely in order to have vital knowledge when they need it, though it doesn't last long.  A scholar with access to appropriate materials can gain a knowledge skill for a number of days equal to his Intelligence Bonus with a rating of his Intelligence Bonus by studying for four hours per point gained.  This requires a Concentration check with a difficulty of 10 + 2*Bonus to be gained.

Diverse Skills:  Over time, Students pick up the basics of many things.  Each time they get this, they may learn a new skill at level 4.

Divine Relationship:  Each level of Divine Relationship  lets you reroll one die per session of your choice.  You can take the better of the two results.

Growth of Heroism:  Over time, dimension-travelling students grow from normal kids and adults into heroic figures.  Each time they get this Feature, they gain 2 Characteristic points.

Long Hours:  The scholar learns how to get by on minimal levels of sleep.  Each level of Long Hours reduces his need for sleep by one hour.  (Every two levels reduces the amount of sleep he needs to get before memorizing new spells by one hour also.)

Special Powers:
Students taken to another world always seem to develop special powers.  Each time you get this Feature, you get four Character Points to spend on Features which grant supernatural abilities, such as Shapeshifting, Oath-Magic, or Special Attack.  They can also be spent to buy better saving throws or a higher/extra hit die for that level.

It is possible to buy abilities which cost more than 4 points, but this puts you in hock; once you do so, then you have to spend all four points each time this feature comes up until you pay it off.
 
 
 
 
 

Wizard

Wizardry is the ancient lore of the Old Ones.  They are gone, but fragments of their mighty lore remains.  Wizards study that lore, seeking to regain the lost powers of ancient days.  Wizards keep spellbooks, which contain the arcane formulae that instruct them on how to perform magic through foci, spoken word, and gesture. The Elves are the greatest mastery of Wizardry, while the Halflings tend to be the least adept in this art, not counting the humanoids, who are usually too illiterate to manage it.

Wizards and Dragon-Mages often do not get along, as each sees the other as crude fumblers who don't understand the true path.  Wizards often clash with Clerics as well, over whether divine or arcane magic is 'better'.

Class Skills and Skill Points

The Wizard’s class Skills (and the key Ability for each) are:

• Alchemy (Int), Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Knowledge (Any, buy each individually) (Int), Profession (Wis), Scry (Int), Spellcraft (Int)
• Ranged Defense

• Skill Points at 1st Level = (4 + Int Modifier) x 4
• Skill Points at Each Additional Level = 4 + Int modifier

Parma Magica (Magical Shield)

Wizards learn how to not die at the hands of their own and other's magics.  Any Bard, Sorceror, or Wizard spell cast at a Wizard can be defended against by the Wizard's Parma Magica.  The Wizard makes an opposed Spellcraft check against his foe's Spellcraft.  If he wins, the spell fails to effect him.  If he loses, he then gets a normal saving throw against it.

Unfortunately, Divine Magics laugh at the Parma Magica and he just gets to make a normal save.

Wizardry

Wizardry is the ancient lore of the Old Ones.  They are gone, but fragments of their mighty lore remains.  Wizards study that lore, seeking to regain the lost powers of ancient days.  Wizards keep spellbooks, which contain the arcane formulae that instruct them on how to perform magic through foci, spoken word, and gesture.  After getting 8 hours of sleep, they can memorize these formulae for later use; the act of spellcasting itself burns the formula out of their minds.  A wizard must spend ten * (highest level of spells he can cast) in minutes doing his memorizations to be able to memorize spells to fill his empty slots.

He gains bonus spells from Intelligence, and his DC for his spells is 10 + Level of the Spell + Int. Bonus.

Wizards begin with all zero level spells and 3 + Int. Bonus in first level spells.  They gain 2 spells per level for free from their continuing studies, and must find or purchase all other spells.

To copy a spell into his spellbook, the Wizard must make a Spellcraft check with a DC of 15 + Level of the spell.  If he fails, he cannot try again with that copy of the spell until he gains another add of Spellcraft.
