View source for Force Missile Specialist (3.5e Prestige Class)

====Class Features====

All of the following are class features of the Force Missile Specialist.

'''{{Anchor|Spellcasting}}:''' At each level except first, you gain new spells per day and an increase in caster level (and spells known, if applicable) as if you had also gained a level in a spellcasting class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level. You do not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If you had more than one spellcasting class before becoming a Force Missile Specialist, you must decide to which class to add each level for the purpose of determining spells per day, caster level, and spells known.

'''{{Anchor|Bonus Missile}}:''' At 1st, 3rd, and 5th levels the force missile specialist gains an extra magic missile whenever he casts ''[[SRD:Magic Missile|magic missile]]'' or spells and spell-like abilities that otherwise duplicate the effects of ''magic missile''.  This can allow him to exceed the number of missiles normally granted due to caster level.

'''{{Anchor|Caster Level Bonus}}:''' Although their focus on a single spell hampers their spellcasting progression, their caster level remains unhampered, gaining a +1 bonus to caster level.

'''{{Anchor|Combat Missile}} {{Ex}}:''' Casting ''magic missile'' (or any spells or spell-like effects based off ''magic missile'') no longer provokes attacks of opportunity for casting.

'''{{Anchor|Spontaneous Magic Missile}}:''' The force missile specialist can spontaneously convert any spell slot or spell per day into a casting of ''magic missile'' of equal or higher value than the spell being cast.

'''{{Anchor|Improved Targeting}} {{Ex}}:''' Normally ''magic missile'' can only strike creatures.  A 2nd level force missile specialist has found ways to target objects, or even points in space.  If you attack a point of space where a creature is (regardless if you were aware it was there or not) the magic missiles automatically strike the creature in the square as normal.

'''{{Anchor|Instant Shield}}:''' As part of mastering ''magic missile'', you must also master its counterpart, ''[[SRD:Shield|shield]]''.  At 2nd level you can cast ''shield'' as an immediate action.

'''{{Anchor|Overpowering Missile}} {{Ex}}:''' At 3rd level, the force missile specialist's ''magic missile'' spells (or any spells or spell-like effects based off ''magic missile'') become especially potent, breaking through spell resistance more readily than normal. He gains a +2 bonus on caster level checks made to overcome a creature's spell resistance with the spell ''magic missile''.  In addition, a force missile specialists ''magic missiles'' might penetrate ''shield'' spells and [[SRD:Brooch of Shielding|Brooches of Shielding]]. Against such protections, the force missile mage makes a caster level check with a DC equal to the caster level, in the case of ''shield'', or DC 20, in the case of a brooch.

'''{{Anchor|Reflective Shield}} {{Su}}:''' At 4th level, a force missile specialist can reflect the spell ''magic missile'' (or any spells or spell-like effects based off ''magic missile''). For the purposes of being affected by ''magic missile'', a force missile specialist is constantly treated as being under the effect of the spell ''[[SRD:Spell Turning|spell turning]]'', thus reflecting offensive ''magic missiles'' back at the caster. If that caster is protected by a ''shield'' spell or a Brooch of Shielding, these reflected ''magic missiles'' are negated as normal. Missiles reflected back against a caster who also has ''spell turning'' in effect require the force missile specialist to roll on the spell turning mishap chart.

'''{{Anchor|Heighten Missile}} {{Ex}}:''' At 4th level, the force missile specialist's ''magic missile'' spells (or any spells or spell-like effects based off ''magic missile'') may be treated as if cast in their highest level spell slot available -1 (minimum 1st), such as when interacting with a ''[[SRD:Globe of Invulnerability|globe of invulnerability]]'', or metamagic which gives ''magic missile'' a save DC.

'''{{Anchor|Swift Missile}}:''' The 5th level force missile specialist may cast ''magic missile'' (or any spells or spell-like effects based off ''magic missile'') as a swift action with no change in its effective spell level.

'''{{Anchor|Uncapped Magic Missile}}:''' At 5th level, there is no longer a cap on ''magic missile''.  It continues to scale, gaining new missiles every odd caster level.
