====Class Features====

All of the following are class features of the Surger.

'''Weapon and Armor Proficiency:''' Surgers are proficient with the use of Simple Weapons, and Light Armor.  They ignore the Arcane Spell Failure penalties of Light Armor, but the penalties associated with a Shield or heavier styles of armor still affect their spells with somatic components.

'''{{Anchor|Foci}}:''' At 1st level, the Surger chooses between the Arcane school of magic, and the Divine school of magic, see Spells to determine how it affects their Spellcasting abilities.

'''{{Anchor|Spells}}:''' Surgers are special in their ability to use spells, they may choose to focus in the school of the Arcane or the school of the Divine.  Surgers treat their Surger level as levels in either the Wizard, or Cleric depending on what school of magic they've chosen to pursue when it comes to spells known, and their method of acquiring spells.  ''HOWEVER, Surgers have their spells per day halved (Rounded up).''  Surgers also treat their spell saves, DC, and spellcasting levels as the class chosen does by level, for example an Arcane-focused Surger uses Intelligence instead of Wisdom to cast spells.  Surgers choose their spells from the Wizard (if Arcane-focused), or Cleric (If Divine-focused) spell lists as associated with their level.

'''{{Anchor|Bonus Feat}}:''' At 1st level, and certain levels thereafter, the Surger can take a bonus feat that grants a bonus to a Skill, or Save that they qualify for the prerequisites.

'''{{Anchor|Arcane/Divine Surge}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' Certain times per day depending upon her level, the Surger can grant herself, or any adjacent target within Line of Sight, a bonus or negative towards any attack, skill, or save.  The Surge lasts for only three rounds in combat, a minute out of combat, or until the Surge is used up.  The bonus or negative applied is based upon their Intelligence (If Arcane-focused), or Wisdom (If Divine-focused) modifier.  For example, a Divine-focused Surger with a Wisdom modifier of +3 would grant a +3 to a companion's Fort Save, or a -3 to an enemy's.

'''{{Anchor|Evasion}}:''' Surgers who pass a Reflex-save that Evasion affects take no damage, but still take full damage for a failed save.

'''{{Anchor|Bonus Metamagic}}:''' At 3rd level, and certain levels thereafter, the Surger can choose a Metamagic feat that they qualify for the prerequisites of.

'''{{Anchor|Aura: Permaolus}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):''' At 4th level, the Surger can grant any spell that affects her a limited form of ''Permanency'' with this aura. When the spell is cast, the Surger may activate this aura as a swift action, and that spell will then last for as long as she retains the Aura.  A Surger's Auras are dispelled by anti-magic-fields, ''dispel magic'', or any effect that leaves her under the effects of ''fear, unconsciousness, or death.''  Only one Aura can apply at a time, and attempting to activate another deactivates the Surger's current aura, and replaces it with the new activated aura. Activating an Aura is a Swift action that provokes no Attack of Oppurtunity.

'''{{Anchor|Aura: Yomgrizzis}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):''' At 7th level, the Surger can reduce the additional spell levels required to augment a spell with a metamagic feat by 1.  This aura allows metamagic that only increases the spell level by one to be cast at the same spell level. To benefit from this effect, the spell must be prepared and cast while this aura is active. If the spell is prepared while the aura is active, and another aura is later activated those spells are unavailable until this aura is restored. Activating an Aura is a Swift action that provokes no Attack of Oppurtunity.

'''{{Anchor|Aura: Nadekke}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):''' At 11th level, the Surger can grant spells she casts the ability to ignore Spell Resistance, but not Immunity (Such as to Fire spells).  While this aura is active, the Surger automatically passes any SR check they are required to make, regardless of whether they could make the check regularly or not.  Activating an Aura is a Swift action that provokes no Attack of Oppurtunity.

'''{{Anchor|Limited Permanent Surge}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' At 15th level, the Surger can expend an extra use of her Arcane or Divine Surge ability for the day to make any bonus to herself, or an adjacent ally, last until another Surge is applied to herself, or that ally.  Surges do not stack, and only one Surge can apply to any one character at a time.  Attempting to place another Surge upon a character already granted a Limited Permanent Surge replaces the Surge that was present with the new one, whether it is a Limited Permanent Surge or not.

'''{{Anchor|Extended Surge}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' At 19th level, a Surger's Arcane or Divine Surges last twice as long as they would otherwise, six rounds, two minutes, or two actions made using the same attack, skill, or save.

'''{{Anchor|Aura: Maborahon}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|Su]]):''' At 20th level, a Surger has become a font of Arcane or Divine power.  While this Aura applies, the Surger is considered an Elemental (if arcane-focused), or Celestial (if divine-focused) and becomes immune to Sneak Attacks, Critical Hits, Poison, Paralysis, Charm, or Sleep effects.  They also gain a +2 bonus to their Intelligence (if arcane-focused), or Wisdom (if divine-focused) ability scores while this aura applies. Activating an Aura is a Swift action that provokes no Attack of Oppurtunity.
