Wind Mage

Air. We hardly notice it, but it's all around us. When it's calm, its presence is benign, but stir it up to violence, and it'll throw everything all over the place. The Wind Mage is a student of manipulation of the air, and he can use it to assault and overcome his enemies.

Making a Wind Mage

Wind Mages are perhaps a little lacking in attack power, but they make up for that through their excellence at controlling the battlefield. A wind mage can use his mastery over wind to put his opponents precisely where he wants them, or just launch them into a deep pit or repeatedly slam them into a wall until they're nothing but bloody paste.

Abilities: Charisma is paramount for a wind mage, as it governs his invocations. Dexterity is extemely helpful for Armor Class, since the wind mage isn't exactly able to use anything more protective than light armor, but it's even more important for ranged attack rolls, like Wind Bullet, since the Wind Mage's AC is absolutely fine thanks to his Tornado Cloak.

Class Features

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

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: <-description of class weapon & armor proficiencies->.

Bonus Language: A wind mage knows Auran, the language of air-type beings, which he learns upon taking his first level in wind mage. Auran is a free language for a wind mage; he knows it in addition to his regular allotment of languages and it doesn't take up a language slot.

Wind Bullet (Sp): As a standard action, a wind mage can launch a bullet-like pulse of pressurized air which deals 1d4 damage per class level as a ranged touch attack. In addition to the damage, a wind bullet causes a creature it strikes to stumble backwards 5 feet, provoking an attack of opportunity from all creatures except for the wind mage himself in the process, unless augmented with an essence that says otherwise. The bullets of air have a range increment of 60 feet. There is no save against the damage or the pushback. The pushback force is not strong enough to cause damage if it would push a victim into a wall (though it's still perfectly capable of pushing someone off a cliff). Spell resistance applies to each bullet separately. Wind Bullet counts as eldritch blast for the purpose of prerequisites.

Air Focus: Levels in wind mage are added to the caster level, initiator level, or manifester level of any air spells, maneuvers, and powers you know. This does not grant additional spells, maneuvers, or powers known. In addition, all air spells and powers are considered to be on your class list for the purpose of activating magic items such as wands.

Tornado Cloak (Su): As an immediate action, a wind mage can shroud himself in a cocoon of high-speed winds. This cocoon acts like a full-body suit of armor, granting the wind mage a deflection bonus to AC equal to his class level ×2 by literally blowing incoming attacks off-course. However, this attack interference goes both ways; the tornado cloak blows the wind mage's attacks off-course, too, causing him to take a −8 penalty to attack rolls and a −1 penalty to damage rolls with physical attacks. He also automatically fails to confirm critical hits (even when performing a coup de grace) while his tornado cloak is active (regardless of whether his attack is physical or magical), as the roaring winds surrounding him make it impossible for him to strike with the degree of precision required to score a critical hit. The tornado cloak can be deactivated as an immediate action.
