Making a Mind Trickster

The mind trickster is the master of the mind control. It has an unparalleled ability with social interaction skills and his mind tricks can help him mentally overcome even the most intelligent wizard. His domination feature allows him to control powerful minions, which greatly increases his battlefield capacity as well as his survivability. However, the mind trickster himself is weak and frail, depending on the protection of his dominated creatures to defend himself, assuming a defensive support role during a fight.

Abilities: Charisma and Inteligence are the most important abilities since they determine how strong are the character's mind tricks and his skills bonuses. Constitution and Dexterity provide a better survivability while Wisdom improves the character's awareness. Strength is the least important ability, as the trickster isn't combat focused.

Races: Most mind tricksters are humans, but every race can find a place for a mind controller.

Alignment: Any.

Starting Gold: 6d4×10 gp (150 gp).

Starting Age: As wizard

Class Features

All of the following are class features of the <-class name->.

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

<span id="<-extraordinary class feature->"><-extraordinary class feature-></span> (Ex): <-class feature game rule information->

Confidence (Ex): The mind trickster irradiates an aura of confidence that inspires his allies and threatens his enemies. All minions he controlls receive 1/5th of the mind trickster's level (rounded up) as morale bonus to attack and damage rolls. All hostile creatures must succeed a Will check (DC 10 + half the mind trickster class level + his Charisma modifier) or receive 1/5th of the trickster's level (rounded up) as morale penalty to attack and damage rolls for as long as they remain in the affected area. The check can only be made once each encounter and the result will remain if the enemy reenters the area.

Manipulation: The mind trickster studies the social interactions and the art of manipulation. He can add his Intelligence modifier as a bonus to Bluff, Diplomacy, Intimidate and Sense Motive checks.

<span id="<-supernatural class feature->"><-supernatural class feature-></span> (Su): <-class feature game rule information->

Shatter the Mind (Su): The mind trickster can use his mental influence to completely disrupt one's mind. Starting at level 4, once per day he can attempt to shatter the mind of a creature. If the target fails a Will test (DC 10 + condition modifiers + the character's Charisma modifier) it will fall unconscious for 1d6 minutes. During this duration, it will automatically fail any Will checks to resist mind effects, such as the trickster's mind tricks.

Table: Shatter the Mind Condition Modifiers

Condition	DC Modifier
Target Asleep	+2
Target has less Intelligence then the character	+1/3 points
Target has more Intelligence then the character	-1/point
Target is in combat	-2
Target friendly	+4
Target hostile	-2

This ability doesn't affect creatures without an intelligence score, but affects other creatures immune to mind effects such as intelligent undead.

Domination (Su): The mind trickster can dominate any creature affected by the Shatter the Mind ability, as long as it's HD doesn't exceed twice his own one. Once under his control, the creature obeys his orders to the best of it's abilities. However, if the controller gives an order that is suicidal or opposite to the minion's nature, it receives a Will check (DC 10 + half the controller's class level + the controller's Charisma modifier) to get free from the domination. This effect is permanent, but the mind trickster can only dominate one creature at a time. If he tries to dominate a second one, the first one will be freed.

One Mind: Starting at level 7, the mind trickster can literally share the mind of the minion he dominates. By taking a full-round action, he can enter the mind of the minion, seeing what it sees and feeling what it feels, for as long as he wants. However, if the minion receives damage, the trickster must succeed in a Will check (DC 10 + damage taken) or the effect will end, leaving the character stunned for one round. The mind trickster is considered dazed for the duration of the effect.
