Chosen by Gadlnaom (3.5e Prestige Class)

Chosen by Gadlnaom
"Gadlnaom looked upon the heat death of the universe, and thought "that's a terrible ending". And so he granted his Chosen the powers they needed to undermine the great witch hunt which was to occur a short 3000 years later."

Gadlnaom occasionally feels the need to change the future. Rather than trying to do so himself, he chooses worshippers to do this for him.

Becoming Chosen by Gadlnaom
Characters seek to be chosen by Gadlnaom in order to gain some of his power to see the future. This mostly helps people who like to know things and to act quickly.

Class Features
All of the following are class features of the Chosen by Gadlnaom.

Recitation requires that you either have one of his books handy, or that you make a DC 15 Knowledge (Religion) check. If you fail the check, Gadlnaom blasts you with images that he knows you won't like immediately before you open your mouth to begin reciting. This blast of images immediately drops your Sanity Pool to 0.

Whenever your Sanity Pool hits 0, it refills to full and you gain a random Dementation. If you already have four Dementations, you take 2d8 points of Wisdom burn and lose the ability to spend Sanity points until you have no more than three Dementations. As a full-round action you can only take while your Sanity Pool is full, you may reduce your Sanity Pool to 1 and cure yourself of a Dementation.

You can choose to spend more points of Sanity than you currently possess. Doing so drops you to 0, not a negative value.

You naturally recover a number of points of Sanity equal to your Charisma bonus (minimum 1) each hour.

In addition, whenever you make an initiative check, after you see what you rolled, you may spend 1 point of Sanity to get a +20 bonus on the check.





The next time you would have to roll a d20, this is the number you will roll.

At level 5, this increases to two Dementations. However, the number of Dementations you may have before taking Wisdom damage increases to 5 at level 3 and 6 at level 5.

Making this change costs you 8 points of Sanity. ''For example, if you buy a Decanter of Endless Water, until you use it or someone else acts on the knowledge that you have it, you can choose to replace it with a Necklace of Adaptation instead, provided that that was an option at the time you chose to buy the Decanter of Endless Water. As another example, if you know both Color Spray and Magic Missile, if you prepare Color Spray you can choose to have prepared Magic Missile instead.''



Since you still remember these events, any changes to your Sanity Pool and assortment of Dementations remain. You then lose 10 points of Sanity.

Ex-Chosen by Gadlnaom
Gadlnaom is a generous god. He will continue granting divine power for as long as you keep reciting his alternate histories.
