====Class Features====

All of the following are [[SRD:Class|class]] features of the Enchantress.

'''Weapon and Armor Proficiency:''' An Enchantress gains no proficiency with any weapons or armor.

'''[[SRD:Powers|Powers]] Known:''' At every level, an Enchantress gains additional [[SRD:Power Points|power points]] per day and access to new [[SRD:Powers|powers]] as if she had also gained a level in whatever manifesting [[SRD:Class|class]] she belonged to before she became an Enchantress. She does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained (bonus [[SRD:Feats|feats]], metapsionic or item creation feats, psicrystal special abilities, and so on). This essentially means that she adds her Enchantress levels to the level of whatever manifesting class the character has, then determines [[SRD:Power Points|power points]] per day, [[SRD:Powers|powers]] known, and [[SRD:Manifester Level|manifester level]] accordingly.

If a character had more than one manifesting class before she became an Enchantress, she must decide to which class she adds the new level of Enchantress for the purpose of determining [[SRD:Power Points|power points]] per day, [[SRD:Powers|powers]] known, and [[SRD:Manifester Level|manifester level]].

'''{{Anchor|Telepathy}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):''' Beginning at first level an Enchantress unlocks one of the most essential and foundational building blocks of her craft, obtaining the ability to communicate telepathically with any creature within 100 feet that has a language. In addition, an Enchantress can read the surface thoughts of a living creature within 100 feet at any time. This is a mind-affecting ability that requires a standard action to use. The Enchantress must be able to see the target; a successful Will save (DC 10 + Enchantress' class level + Enchantress' Charisma modifier) negates the effect. Creatures of animal intelligence (Int 1 or 2) have only simple, instinctual thoughts.

Maintaining the effect requires concentration; the maximum duration is 10 minutes + 2 minutes per class level. This ability can penetrate barriers, but 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 5 feet of wood or dirt blocks it. This effect is the equivalent of a 2nd level spell.  

'''{{Anchor|Natural Charm}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):''' A number of times per day equal to her class level, an Enchantress can manifest ''Psionic Charm'' at a reduced power point cost. The cost of ''Psionic Charm'' is reduced by a number of points equal to her Enchantress class level, to a minimum of 1 power point (reduced after augmentations). In addition, anytime she uses this effect the range is increased to 100 feet and the casting time is reduced to a move action. The effects of this power are still restricted by the Enchantress' manifester level. 

For example, a Psion 7/Enchantress 10 can manifest ''Psionic Charm'' normally for 1 power point + augments whenever she wants. However, 10 times per day she can manifest ''Psionic Charm'' as a move action from 100 feet away with a reduced cost. As a 17th level manifester she can spend a maximum of 17 power points on an ability, therefore she may augment ''Psionic Charm'' by choosing to spend up to 16 extra points. If you read the augments for ''[[SRD:Psionic Charm|Psionic Charm]]'' this means 16 extra points would increase the DC by +8 and if successful, would cause the duration to increase by 1 day per 4 extra points spent, so the creature would be charmed for 4 days, but the Enchantress using this ability would have the cost reduced by 10 which would mean she only pays 7 total points for this augmentation rather than 17. 

Maximum points spent for manifester level must be calculated '''''BEFORE''''' the reduced cost comes in to play. So in this example, she cannot ever spend more than 17 power points on manifesting any power since she is an 17th level manifester. Meaning she cannot spend 27 points that then gets reduced to 17, it must be 17 (her maximum) that then gets reduced to 7.

'''{{Anchor|Compelling Alure}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):''' Starting at 2nd level, because of an Enchantress' innate familiarity with charms and compulsions she adds a bonus equal to 1/2 her class level (minimum of +1) to the DC to resist any charm or compulsion powers she manifests (including her telepathy), regardless of number of power points spent on the ability, to maximum of +5 at 10th level. This bonus stacks with the additional DC added by spending more power points on a power and with the [[SRD:Psionic Endowment|Psionic Endowment]] feat and other such feats that would affect the DC of a manifested power. The number of power points an Enchantress can spend on powers are still restricted by the Enchantress' manifester level.

'''{{Anchor|Charming Demeanor}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' An Enchantress is intimately familiar with all interpersonal relations and social interactions and gains a bonus on all [[SRD:Bluff|Bluff]], [[SRD:Diplomacy|Diplomacy]], [[SRD:Gather Information|Gather Information]], [[SRD:Intimidate|Intimidate]] and [[SRD:Sense Motive|Sense Motive]] checks equal to her Enchantress class level. This bonus does not extend to other applications of these skills (i.e. making a bluff check to create a diversion to hide or feinting in combat).

'''{{Anchor|Natural Suggestion}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):''' Beginning at 3rd level, an Enchantress adds ''[[SRD:Psionic Suggestion|Psionic Suggestion]]'' to her powers known (if she doesn't know it already). A number of times per day equal to her class level, an Enchantress can manifest ''Psionic Suggestion'' at a reduced power point cost. The cost of ''Psionic Suggestion'' is reduced to 1 power point. In addition, anytime she uses this effect the range is 100 feet, the casting time is reduced to a move action and the duration is increased to 24 hours. The effects of this power are still restricted by the Enchantress' manifester level (see [[#Natural Charm|Natural Charm]]).

'''{{Anchor|Elude Enchantment}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' At 3rd level an Enchantress is so accustomed to how charms and compulsions work and how that power feels that she gains a bonus on any saves she makes against any charm or compulsion effects (including against telepathy powers used against her) equal to her class level. In addition, any ally within 30 feet of the Enchantress gets a bonus on all saves against all enchantment spells, powers and effects equal to 1/2 her class level (beginning at +1 at level 3).

'''{{Anchor|Versatile Enchantment}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):''' Starting at 4th level, anytime an Enchantress manifests the ''[[SRD:Psionic Charm|Psionic Charm]]'' or ''[[SRD:Psionic Dominate|Psionic Dominate]]'' powers she does not need to spend the additional points to use either of the powers on creatures of other types. Using the ability on a creature of another type in and of itself does not increase the DC of the power since no extra points need to be spent. She can still spend extra power points on the ability as normal which would affect the power normally, she just is no longer required to do so to effect creatures of other types if she so chooses.

'''{{Anchor|Slippery Mind}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' This ability represents the Enchantress’ ability to wriggle free from magical effects that would otherwise control or [[SRD:Compulsion Subschool|compel]] her. If an Enchantress of 4th level or higher is affected by an enchantment spell or effect and fails her [[SRD:Saving Throw|saving throw]], she can attempt it again 1 round later at the same [[SRD:DC|DC]]. She gets only this one extra chance to succeed on her saving throw.

'''{{Anchor|Enchanted}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):''' At 5th level an Enchantress power with charms and compulsions grows significantly. Anytime she manifests ''[[SRD:Psionic Charm|Psionic Charm]]'' at a reduced power point cost, she can also choose to make the duration of her ''Psionic Charm'' ability permanent for this casting. She must declare before casting whether or not she intends to increase the duration to permanent, and she may have a number of creatures under this effect equal to 1/2 her class level. Meaning when she gains this ability at 5th level, she may have 2 creatures at any time under this effect and gains a 3rd creature at 6th level and so on, up to a maximum of 5 at 10th level. If an Enchantress chooses to use ''Psionic Charm'' on another creature and tries to make that effect permanent when she is already at her maximum, the previous victim under her influence the longest is immediately freed from the effect regardless of the success or failure of the save for the new attempted creature. 

'''{{Anchor|Natural Charm (Mass)}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):''' Anytime an Enchantress manifests her Natural Charm power at a reduced power point cost she may also spend 1 additional power point to effect one additional target for this manifesting and may add up to 1 additional target per class level in this way. The save DC reduces by 1 for each 2 targets added. No two targets effected by this manifesting can be more than 30 feet from any other effected target. This ability cannot be used in the same casting as her Enchanted ability. These additional power points spent must be calculated into her maximum she can spend ''before'' the total cost is reduced (meaning she cannot spend her maximum power points on augmentations, reduce the cost and then spend extra to do this).

'''{{Anchor|Persistent Enchantment}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):''' Beginning at 6th level, the potency of an Enchantress' charm and compulsion powers are so powerful that it lingers in the victim's mind. Any creature that successfully saves against any of an Enchantress' charm or compulsion powers must save again 1 round later (as if she had manifested the power again) at the beginning of the round before anyone's actions, and the victim gains a +4 bonus on the save.

'''{{Anchor|Natural Dominate}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):''' An Enchantress adds ''[[SRD:Psionic Dominate|Psionic Dominate]]'' to her powers known (if she doesn't know it already). If she already has Psionic Dominate, she may instead choose 1 power of 4th level or lower to add to her powers known list. Once per day, an Enchantress can manifest ''Psionic Dominate'' at a reduced power point cost to 1 power point for this manifesting. In addition, anytime she uses this effect the casting time is reduced to a move action, the duration is increased to 24 hours without having to spend the 2 power points (however you can still spend the 4 power points to increase the duration to 1 day per manifester level). In addition, the total power points spent ''after'' augmentations is reduced by her Enchantress class level. The effects of this power are still restricted by the Enchantress' manifester level (see [[#Natural Charm|Natural Charm]]).

'''{{Anchor|Irresistable Enchantment}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):''' The charms and compulsions of an Enchantress are so strong that starting at 8th level, any targets of her charm or compulsion powers (or telepathy) do not gain a bonus on their saves due to being currently threatened or attacked by the Enchantress or her allies. In addition, subjects of her compulsion effects do not get a bonus on saves due to being forced to take an action against their nature. Such creatures still get a save as normal under both of these circumstances, but there is no bonus on the save.

'''{{Anchor|Natural Suggestion (Mass)}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):''' Starting at 9th level, anytime an Enchantress manifests her Natural Suggestion power at a reduced power point cost she may also spend 1 additional power point to effect one additional target for this manifesting and may add up to 1 additional target per available manifester level in this way. The save DC increases by 1 for each target added in this way. No two targets effected by this manifesting can be more than 30 feet from any other effected target. An Enchantress' ability to add power points is still restricted by her manifester level as previously stated. These additional power points spent must be calculated into her maximum she can spend ''before'' the total cost is reduced (meaning she cannot spend her maximum power points on augmentations, reduce the cost and then spend extra to do this).

'''{{Anchor|Charm Resistance}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' A 10th level Enchantress' power over charms and compulsions is so strong that she gains Power Resistance and Spell Resistance against all charm and compulsion effects used against her. These resistances are equal to 20 + her Charisma modifier.

'''{{Anchor|Enraptured}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):''' At 10th level an Enchantress' mastery over charms and compulsions reaches its peak. She can choose to make the duration of her ''Psionic Dominate'' ability permanent for this casting. She must declare before casting whether or not she intends to increase the duration to permanent, and she can only have one creature under this effect at a time. If an Enchantress chooses to use ''Psionic Dominate'' on another creature and tries to make that effect permanent, the previously enslaved creature is immediately freed from the effect regardless of the success or failure of the save for the new creature. ''[[SRD:Dispel Magic|Dispel Magic]]'' and ''[[SRD:Dispel Magic|Dispel Magic]]'' have no effect on the enraptured creature, though ''[[SRD:Break Enchantment|Break Enchantment]]'' frees the victim (treat the Enchantress' manifester level as 5 + her class level for this purpose). An Enchantress may have both her 5 permanently Enchanted creatures and her 1 Enraptured creature at any given time.
