View source for Xenophile (3.5e Prestige Class)

====Class Features====

All of the following are class features of the xenophile.

'''{{Anchor|Spellcasting}}:''' At levels 1 and 3, the xenophile gains new spells per day and an increase in caster level (and spells known, if applicable) as if he had also gained a level in a spellcasting class to which he belonged before adding the prestige class level. He does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If he had more than one spellcasting class before becoming a xenophile, he must decide to which class to add each level for the purpose of determining spells per day, caster level, and spells known.

Alternatively, a xenophile may choose instead to gain a bonus feat he qualifies for at the appropriate levels. This decision is made when taking the first level of the class, and cannot be changed once the first level of the prestige class is taken.

'''{{Anchor|Altered Metabolism}} ([[Ex]]):''' As he encounters new and strange phenomena that most mortals were never meant to know, the xenophile begins to change. At level 1, he finds that he no longer needs to eat nor sleep. He must still rest for eight hours at a time to regain spells, powers, and the like, but need not spend this time sleeping.

'''{{Anchor|Mutable Flesh}} ([[Ex]]):''' Even when others would encase the xenophile in stone, he stands firm as his new alien flesh changes and warps, resisting such effects. A first level xenophile gains immunity to all [[SRD:Petrified|petrification]] effects.

'''{{Anchor|Resistance}} ([[Ex]]):''' At first level, the xenophile gains resistance to some of the rigors of the creatures he studies. He gains Acid Resistance 5 and Electricity Resistance 5. Both resistances improve to 10 at level 2.

'''{{Anchor|Bio-Energy Pool}} ([[Ex]]):''' Xenotheric metabolism is capable of yielding large amounts of biological energy that can be used for different purposes. A second level xenophile's biology begins to change appropriately, and he finds himself being able to harness this pool of energy, known as a Bio-Energy Pool. This Bio-Energy Pool can hold a maximum amount of charges equal to 3 plus the xenophile's [[Constitution]] modifier (minimum 1), and recharges at a rate of 1 charge per minute. These charges may be expended to facilitate certain special powers.

'''{{Anchor|Bonus Xenotheric Feat}} ([[Ex]]):''' As the xenophile progresses in the class, he gains more and more features of the aliens which he studies so closely. At level 2, he gains one [[Xenotheric (3.5e Feat Type)|xenotheric feat]] he qualifies for.

'''{{Anchor|Xeno Soul}} ([[Ex]]):''' At level 2, a xenophile is so changed that he is now considered to have the [[Xenotheric_(3.5e_Creature_Subtype)|Xenotheric]] subtype for the purpose of gaining [[Xenotheric (3.5e Feat Type)|Xenotheric Feats]].

'''{{Anchor|Perfect Form}} ([[Ex]]):''' At third level a xenophile is considered to have reached the pinnacle of his transformation into the type of beings he so worships. At this level, he gains the [[Xenotheric (3.5e_Creature_Subtype)|Xenotheric subtype]].
