Class Features

All of the following are class features of the <-class name->.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A Pyrotechnic has proficiency with all simple weapons but no armor or shields. Saves:All saves from your class abilities have a DC of 10 + class level + int.

Detonate (Su): The Pyrotechnic can make any inanimate object of tiny size or smaller he touches explode as a standard action. He rolls 1d20 + 1d10 per class level. Reflex save negates. If this is equal to or greater than the objects hit-points (no hardness), then the object explodes. The Pyrotechnic can throw the object as a free action. The target object is destroyed. Use the grenade-like-weapon rules. The object explodes dealing 1d6 plus 1d6 for every 2 levels fire and piecing damage to everyone within 20 feet. Reflex save half. At 5th level you can make a small object explode. This increases by one size category every 2 levels. For each size category above tiny, the area of the effect doubles. Magical equipment can not be detonated.

Explosive Unarmed Strike (Su): You gain the Improved Unarmed Strike for free. You unarmed attack do +1d6 + 1d6 per 4 levels additional damage.

Fire resistance: You have been caught in enough explosions to grow resistance to fire. You gain fire resistance 5. At 3rd level and every 2 levels thereafter this increases by 5 until at 10th level you gain fire immunity.

Burn Bright: Instead of making an object explode and deal damage, you may make it release a blinding flash of light, Stunning everyone withing 20ft. Will save negates.

Shape Flame: You may make any fire caused by any of your abilities, be attached to a imbued SRD:Silent Image. It can take the effect of any thing, but alway appears to be a formation of flame, although color can change.

Combustion: You can create small explosions beneath you feet. You gain a jump speed equal to your base land speed.

Kinetic Explosion: You detonate power now knocks everyone who fails the reflex save prone.

Fireworks: You may cast the Fireworks version of SRD:Pyrotechnics at will.

Ranged Detonate: Detonate now has a range of line of sight.

Pop: You now Detonate an object to make a deafening sound. This Stuns and Deafens everyone for 2d6+2 rounds withing 120.

Spectacular Display: Whenever you use Fireworks anybody who succeeds at the save is fascinated for one round.

Complex Explosion: You may combine two detonate effects when using detonate, such as Burn Bright and Standard Detonate, or Pop and Burn Bright(a fun combination).

Fireball: You can cast Fireball at will with a caster level equal to your class level.

Chemical reaction: The Pyrotechnic can make any living thing of any size he touches explode as a standard action. The person explodes. Reflex save half. The person is destroyed. The object explodes dealing 1d6 plus 1d6 for every 2 levels fire within 20 feet. This is not a death effect. Reflex save half.

Sparkler: By surrounding an object in tiny explosions you can duplicate the effects of sustained force or violent thrust telekinesis.
