===Making a Green Mage===

It's a little weak in direct combat, but it gets a wide variety of effects, some utilitarian and some terrain-making.

'''Abilities:''' The Green Mage is a user of magic, and that magic is based on Charisma. But they are also a heavy user of ranged attacks, and those manipulations are Dexterity based. Green Mages have a strong tendency to use staves. 

'''Races:''' Any

'''Alignment:''' Any

'''Starting Gold:''' 5d4&times;10 gp

====Class Features====

All of the following are class features of the Green Mage.

'''Weapon and Armor Proficiency:''' Green Mages are proficient with Simple Weapons. A Green Mage's Spell-like abilities suffer from Arcane Spell Failure if they are wearing armor with which they are not proficient. A Green Mage may add the masterwork or enhancement bonus (if any) of any staff they are wielding to any attack or damage rolls they make with their Supernatural and Spell-Like abilities. 

'''''{{Anchor|Wind Blast}}'' ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Spell-Like|Sp]]):''' A Green Mage can throw blasts of wind as an attack action. A Wind Blast travels out to short range, and inflicts 1d4 of Sonic damage per level. A Wind Blast strikes its target with a ranged touch attack.

'''{{Anchor|Wind Resistance}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' A Green Mage has resistance to Sonic and Electricity equal to her level. In addition, she treats wind as being one step less intense.

'''''{{Anchor|Message}}'' ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Spell-Like|Sp]]):''' A Green Mage can cast ''[[SRD:Message|message]]'' at will.

'''''{{Anchor|Ghost Sound}}'' ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Spell-Like|Sp]]):''' A Green Mage can use ''[[SRD:Ghost Sound|ghost sound]]'' at will.

'''{{Anchor|Air Magic}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' A Green Mage is considered to have all spells with the [Air] or [Electricity] descriptors on her spell list for purposes of activating magic items. A Green Mage's caster level is always equal to her character level.

'''''{{Anchor|Gust of Wind}}'' ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Spell-Like|Sp]]):''' A 2nd level Green Mage can cast ''[[SRD:Gust of Wind|Gust of Wind]]'' as a standard action, at will.

'''{{Anchor|Shocking Grasp}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):''' A 2nd level Green Mage can shock people with a touch. As a melee attack action, the Green Mage can make a touch attack that inflicts 1d6 of Electricity damage per level. The Green Mage can use her Dexterity modifier instead of her Strength modifier on her attack roll. A Shocking Grasp attack can be made with a staff.

'''''{{Anchor|Wall of Air}}'' ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Spell-Like|Sp]]):''' A 3rd level Green Mage can create a ''wall of air'' at will, as a standard action. The Green Mage can only have 1 such wall in existence at a time for every three whole levels she has. If she creates a new wall while she is already at her maximum, one wall of her choice dissipates. The Save DC of any of her effects is DC 10 + ½ Level + Charisma Modifier.

'''''{{Anchor|Whispering Winds}}'' ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Spell-Like|Sp]]):''' A 3rd level Green Mage can use ''[[SRD:Whispering Wind|whispering wind]]'' at will.

'''{{Anchor|More Resistance}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' At 4th level, a Green Mage may personally ignore Wind Effects. Also, her Sonic Resistance improves to twice her level.

'''''{{Anchor|Clairaudience}}'' ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Spell-Like|Sp]]):''' At 4th level, a Green Mage can hear things at great distances. She can use ''[[SRD:Clairaudience/Clairvoyance|clairaudience/clairvoyance]]'' at will as a free action, but only the audio version.

'''{{Anchor| Air Walk}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):''' From 5th level on, a Green Mage constantly benefits from ''[[SRD:Air Walk|air walk]]''.

'''''{{Anchor|Thunder Clap}}'' ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Spell-Like|Sp]]):''' At 6th level, a Green Mage can create a tremendous clap of thunder that damages and deafens. The Thunder Clap can be created within Medium range. It is a 20 foot radius burst, and it inflicts 1d8 + 1d8/2 levels in Sonic Damage (Fortitude save partial for half damage). Those creatures that fail their save are knocked prone and ''[[SRD:Deafened|deafened]]'' for 1 round/level. At 11th level, the Wind Mage may make her Thunder Clap larger, doing an extra d8 of damage and having a radius of 30 feet.

'''''{{Anchor|Silence}}'' ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Spell-Like|Sp]]):''' A 6th level Green Mage can create a zone of silence, as per ''[[SRD:Silence|silence]]''. The Green Mage can only have one such zone active for every three full levels she has attained, and if she creates a new one when she already has her maximum, she chooses one to be dispelled.

'''''{{Anchor|Scary Noises}}'' ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Spell-Like|Sp]]):''' A 7th level Green Mage can use ''[[SRD:Fear|fear]]'' as a spell-like ability. Once she has used it, she may not use it again for 10 rounds. Scary Noises is a [Sonic] ability.

'''{{Anchor|Pin Drop}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' A 7th level Green Mage gains a bonus to her Listen checks equal to her ranks in Listen.

'''''{{Anchor|Slow}}'' ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Spell-Like|Sp]]):''' A Green Mage of 8th level can cast ''[[SRD:Slow|slow]]'' as a Swift Action at will.

'''''{{Anchor|Secrets on the Wind}}'' ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Spell-Like|Sp]]):''' An 8th level Green Mage can ''[[SRD:Scrying|scry]]'' at will with a minute's concentration. Unlike a normal ''[[SRD:Scrying|scrying]]'', the Green Mage cannot see through to the target, but instead can hear from that area as if she was there herself. There is no literal sensor in this case, the scrying is entirely passive.

'''''{{Anchor|Chain Lightning}}'' ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Spell-Like|Sp]]):''' A 9th level Green Mage can use ''[[SRD:Chain Lightning|chain lightning]]'' as a standard action, at will.

'''''{{Anchor|Wind Tunnel}}'' ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Spell-Like|Sp]]):''' At 9th level, a Green Mage may invoke ''wind tunnel'' (Spell Compendium) once per day as a Swift Action.

'''''{{Anchor|Gaseous Form}}'' ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Spell-Like|Sp]]):''' A 10th level Green Mage can use ''[[SRD:Gaseous Form|gaseous form]]'' at will. Gaseous Form used by a Green Mage is permanent until dismissed, and Green Mages often use it to bottle captured enemies.

'''''{{Anchor|Sending}}'' ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Spell-Like|Sp]]):''' A 10th level Green Mage can use ''[[SRD:Sending|sending]]'' at will simply by speaking into the wind.

'''''{{Anchor|Speed of the Wind}}'' ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Spell-Like|Sp]]):''' An 11th level Green Mage can use ''[[SRD:Haste|haste]]'' as a Swift Action once per hour.

'''''{{Anchor|Animate Air}}'' ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Spell-Like|Sp]]):''' At 12th level, a Green Mage can animate the very air. By spending a Standard Action, she essentially creates a Huge Air Elemental that follows her orders. She can only have one at a time, and if she creates a new one, the old one dissipates. She can only create one an hour in any case. At 16th level, her Elemental can be made as a Greater Elemental instead. At 20th level, it can be an Elder Elemental.

'''''{{Anchor|Wind Walk}}'' ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Spell-Like|Sp]]):''' A 12th level Green Mage can invoke or terminate ''[[SRD:Wind Walk|wind walk]]'' at will as a Swift Action.

'''''{{Anchor|Control Winds}}'' ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Spell-Like|Sp]]):''' A 13th level Green Mage can cast ''[[SRD:Control Winds|control winds]]'' as a Druid of her level. This ability can only be invoked once per hour.

'''''{{Anchor|Breath of Life}}'' ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Spell-Like|Sp]]):''' A 14th level Green Mage can ''[[SRD:Raise Dead|raise]]'' the ''[[SRD:Raise Dead|dead]]'' a number of times per day equal to her Charisma modifier.
