| |
| | | |
− | === Class Features === | + | ====Class Features==== |
− | '''Weapon and armor proficiencies:''' Modsouls are proficient with all simple and martial weapons, light armour and shields. They are not proficient with heavy armor or heavy shields.
| |
| | | |
− | '''Combat-Gigai:''' Though original Modsouls where designed for use in human corpses, the recent batch are instead issued with a specially designed Gigai by soul society. They have the [http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/glossary&term=Glossary_dnd_livingconstructsubtype&alpha Living Construct] subtype in addition to their normal type. Though they cannot use weapons, this body can be enchanted like a single piece of armor, and a weapon.
| + | All of the following are class features of the Security Chief. |
− | A Modsoul always has the improved unarmed strike feat. Their unarmed damage is increased to what shown in the table above, and they gain a bonus to their AC (also shown on the table)
| |
− | If a Modsoul dies, its body is immediately destroyed, and it reverts back to a soul candy. This can be put into another body (such as a corpse or a construct). A Modsoul only has access to their modifications whilst in their own body.
| |
| | | |
− | '''{{Anchor|Combat Gigai}}:''' At creation each Modsoul is issued with a Combat Gigai, an artificial body developed for use in combat. Modsoul's have the They have the [http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/glossary&term=Glossary_dnd_livingconstructsubtype&alpha Living Construct] subtype in addition to their normal type. | + | '''{{Anchor|Security Chief's Code}}:''' |
| + | All Security Chiefs follow a strict code of conduct, knowing that if they do not follow the laws, others would follow in their footsteps. The tenants of the code are: |
| + | *The first, and most important rule, is that protecting the innocent under your protection is more important than anything. Sacrificing your own life, compromising your principles, even violating the Security Chief's Code itself is justified if that’s what it takes to keep the innocent alive. |
| + | *You must rarely ever break your word, only doing so accidentally or when forced to do so against your will. You cannot tell small lies, or lies that will go unnoticed. |
| + | *A defeated or helpless foe should never be killed. They should be sent to a holding cell, where they will stay according to the law of where you currently are at. |
| + | *Even when fighting against or interrogating a person, A Security Chief must treat worthy enemies with courtesy and politeness. |
| | | |
− | Modsoul's receive the Improved Unarmed Strike feat so long as they are using a Combat Gigai. Their unarmed damage increases depending on their class level, as shown on table 1.1: The Modsoul.
| + | '''{{Anchor|Forces of Justice}} {{Ex}}:''' You gain a bonus to your Leadership score equal to your class level, but you can only recruit characters of Lawful alignment. Your followers’ Strength, Dexterity or Constitution score increases by 2, but their Charisma score decreases by 2. This is not a bonus, but results from the fact that those applying for the job of a Security Officer are better trained in combat, but lack social skills. |
| + | Your cohort, however, gets a +2 increase to his Strength or Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, and Charisma scores, as he is much more unique of a security officer. You do not take penalties to your Leadership score as a result of your followers dying, because death and injury is expected in their line of work. |
| | | |
− | Though it provides no other benefits, a Combat Gigai can be enchanted like both a single piece of armour, and a weapon. These enchantments are suppressed if the Modsoul is using equipment of the relevant body type.
| + | '''{{Anchor|Leadership}} {{Ex}}:''' At 1st level, you gain Leadership as a bonus feat. Alternatively, you can choose a feat similar to Leadership, such as ''Undead Leadership''<sup>[[Publication:Libris Mortis|LM]]</sup>, [[Variant_Leadership_(3.5e_Feat)|Variant Leadership]] or [[Sidekick_(3.5e_Feat)|Sidekick]]. Note that if you take a variant of leadership, you ''might'' not gain all the benefits from ''Forces of Justice'' |
| | | |
− | '''{{Anchor|Bonus Feat}}:''' A Modsoul gains bonus feats at the first and second level, as well as every even level thereafter. | + | '''{{Anchor|Advanced Restraints}} {{Ex}}:''' |
| + | At 2nd level, you are a master of ways to immobilize those that you have captured. You add your class level to the DC of any skill check or ability check made to escape from or disable one of your restraints. |
| | | |
− | '''{{Anchor|Combat Point}}:''' All Modsoul's have a Combat Point, a specific part of their host's anatomy they enhance whilst using the body. They choose one combat point. This Combat Point Increases at 4th, 7th, 13th and 17th level. [[User:The Dire Reverend/lol|The list of Combat Points can be found here.]] | + | '''{{Anchor|Impressive Tactician}} {{Ex}}:''' |
| + | You have become well-known for your ability to lead those around you in battle. At 2nd level, as a swift action, you may grant any of your allies, followers, or your cohort an extra action by making a Knowledge (Tactics) check. They take the extra action immediately on your turn. The type of action they may take depends on the result of your Knowledge check. A result of 10 or lower allows a swift action, a result of 11 to 30 allows a move action, a result of 31 to 40 allows a standard action, and a result of 41 to 50 allows a full-round action. Once you have used this ability, you must wait 5 rounds before you can use it again. |
| | | |
− | '''{{Anchor|Modification}}:''' A Modsoul’s artificial body is constantly being adapted and modified to further improve their effectiveness. At 1st level, 3rd level and every three levels thereafter, the Modsoul receives a Modification. | + | '''{{Anchor|Protect the Innocent}} {{Ex}}:''' |
| + | If a Security Officer dies, it is a sad day, but if an innocent dies when a Security Chief is nearby, the Security Chief has failed at his job. At 3rd level, once per round, you may redirect half of all damage deal to an adjacent ally to yourself. |
| | | |
− | They immediately gain one Modsoul Ability they meet the prerequisites for, as well as the benefit from their Modsoul Design. If they have more than one Modsoul Design, then they must choose one benefit each time they gain a Modification.
| |
| | | |
− | '''{{Anchor|Modsoul Design}}:''' Each Modsoul is designed to fit a certain niche in the battlefield, and their abilities are designed to compliment that role. At 1st level, choose one of the following builds. At 13th level, select a second build. They must then choose which benefit to apply whenever they gain a modification. [[User:The Dire Reverend/lol|The list of Modsoul Designs can be found here.]]
| |
| | | |
− | '''{{Anchor|Repurpose}}:''' As a Modsoul is artificial, if they have time they can redesign their body for a better purpose. A Modsoul with this ability can spend a day to exchange their Modsoul abilities for any others available. They cannot exchange an ability that is a prerequisite for another ability they know, unless they exchange that ability as well
| |
| | | |
− | '''{{Anchor|Self-repair}}:''' To sustain themselves in the field of battle, sufficiently advanced Modsouls are fitted with self-repair units, working constantly to keep them in fighting condition. At 5th level, the Modsoul gains fast healing 2. at 10th level, and every 5 levels thereafter, the Modsoul’s fast healing increases by another 2.
| |
| | | |
− | '''{{Anchor|Emergency Detonator}}:''' At 11th level, the Modsoul is fitted with a fail-safe detonator, should they find themselves in a situation where it would be better served for them to be destroyed rather than captured, or to as one last attack. Activating the detonator is a full round action that provokes an attack of opportunity. If the Modsoul suffers damage they must pass a concentration test with a dc equal to that damage or fail to detonate. Once the detonator is activated, the Modsoul’s Gigai is immediately destroyed, and its soul candy is ejected by the blast, landing at the end of the explosive radius. Everything adjacent to the Gigai when it explodes suffers force damage equal to the Modsoul's hit dice + 1d6 per modification, and everything within a 20ft burst, +5 ft per modification, suffers ½ that. Anyone caught in the blast is entitled to a reflex save (dc 10 + ½ character level + con modifier) for half damage. ''A Modsoul can never be compelled into exploding, and any attempts to make them do so automatically fail, and allows the Modsoul another attempt to resist the control.''
| |
| | | |
− | '''{{Anchor|Annihilation Mode}}:''' At 12th level, the Modsoul is capable of tapping into its inner destructive potential, turning into a force of devastation for a short while. Activating Annihilation mode is a move-equivalent action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity, that costs 20 SEP. Annihilation Mode lasts for 5 rounds, and can be extended by paying 10 SEP per round. Whilst in Annihilation Mode, the Modsoul gains an untyped bonus to strength and stamina equal to their class level. Bonus HP from this ability is not temporary HP, and thus it is not lost first, and vanishes when Annihilation mode ends. They gain an untyped bonus to AC, and all saves, equal to 1 + class level /4. The Modsoul may make an extra attack per round at their highest base attack bonus, which stacks with those granted by abilities such as ''[[Haste]]''. Lastly, the Modsoul is immune to all fear or mind-effecting abilities in annihilation mode. The Modsoul gains additional abilities based on the Modsoul Design they received at 1st level. The Modsoul can use annihilation mode once per day per 10 class levels they posses. | + | '''{{Anchor|<-spell-like class feature->}} {{Sp}}:''' <-class feature game rule information, including any differences in the class feature at epic levels-> |
| | | |
− | '''{{Anchor|Redesign}}:''' From 19th level onwards, when using Rebuild, the Modsoul can change their Modsoul Design(s) as well as their Modsoul Abilities. They must recalculate the bonuses receives from the Modification Class Feature if they do so to match their new design. They cannot change to the Soulcaster Modsoul Design. After obtaining this ability, using rebuild to just change existing abilities only takes 1 hour, instead of 24. | + | '''{{Anchor|<-supernatural class feature->}} {{Su}}:''' <-class feature game rule information, including any differences in the class feature at epic levels-> |
| | | |
− | '''{{Anchor|Contingency Detonation}}:''' From 19th level onwards, the Modsoul is able to set conditions for their internal detonator to activate. They can set one condition, as the spell ''[[Contingency]]'', that triggers the detonator. The Modsoul need not be in the Gigai for this to activate. | + | '''{{Anchor|<-class feature->}}:''' <-class feature game rule information, including any differences in the class feature at epic levels-> |
| | | |
− | '''{{Anchor|Perfect Modification}}:''' The Modsoul has been upgraded to the limit of what is technologically possible. It immediately gains either 3 Modsoul abilities, or 1 Experimental Modsoul Ability. This counts as a single ability for the benefits granted by the Modification class ability.

− | ::at 7th level, the range that the Modsoul’s telepathy functions is greatly improved. It increases to 200 ft.
