Sylvan Occultist (3.5e Class)

Sylvan Occultist
Having inherited power from ancestors who dealt with dangerous Sylvan powers, Sylvan Occultists are capable of causing or solving all sorts of havoc.

Making a Sylvan Occultist
Sylvan Occultists are a bit squishy, but they make up for it by being powerful casters.

Abilities: Intelligence, Charisma, and Wisdom all have bearing on the Sylvan Occultist's class features. Strength can be dumped freely, while Dexterity and Constitution can be dumped with care.

Races: Races that have never had contact with powerful Sylvan entities cannot contain Sylvan Occultists.

Alignment: Any. Faeries are more than a bit Chaotic, but the same is not necessarily true for people who are related to people who wanted power.

Starting Gold: 2d4&times;10 gp (50 gp).

Starting Age: Simple.

Class Skills, Tome of Prowess Variant (4 per level, ×4 at 1st level) (Int), (Int), (Int), (Cha), (Wis), (Wis)

Class Features
All of the following are class features of the Sylvan Occultist.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Sylvan Occultists are proficient with simple weapons, but no kinds of armor.

As such, Sylvan Occultists never suffer from Arcane Spell Failure.

Sylvan Occultists have a strain tolerance equal to their Charisma score plus one-half their Sylvan Occultist level.

The saving throw DC for a Sylvan Occultist spell is equal to 10 + one-half their character level + their Wisdom modifier.

Sylvan Occultist spells are a pain to remember. As such, Sylvan Occultists can only know a number of spells equal to their Intelligence score or three times their class level, whichever is lower. It is possible for a Sylvan Occultist to forget an old spell in favor of learning a new spell. This takes one hour of reading and an Intelligence check with a DC equal to 10 + the spell's level.

Sylvan Occultist spells are drawn from the sylvan occultist spell list.



If he does, he gets a +2 bonus to AC against that attack or a +2 bonus to that Reflex save. This improves to a +4 bonus at level 5, and a +6 bonus at level 8.

Ex-Sylvan Occultists
If all Sylvan presence is eradicated from a plane, Sylvan Occultists lose their power while in that plane.
