Disciple of the Cat Ear Clan

<-general description->.

Making a Disciple of the Cat Ear Clan

The disciple of the cat ear clan is like the ant in a colony. Alone it will be harmless, but within a team, it will reveal its potential, provided that the team that accepts it is as diverse as possible.

Abilities: Working in huge cities, disciples need to be discreet and attentive. Dexterity is an essential ability. Charisma is also of great help in obtaining information, in parliament, and in showing diplomacy in their actions.

Races: In theory, all races are accepted within the clan. However, disciples of the cat ear clan are almost entirely female. Males are generally not welcome there, with the strict exception of anthropomorphic felines which are tolerated in limited numbers. Humans are numerous in the clan, as are feline races, certain elves, giths, genasis, halflings, and asheratis. Anthropomorphic non-feline breeds are generally not well received. And dwarfs, orcs, goliaths, kobolds, and goblins almost never choose this path.

Alignment: The cat ear clan works in the shadow of government. They don't care about the law. The members of the clan are women of the people who rise up against tyranny and slavery. Most are chaotic good, neutral good, chaotic neutral, or strict neutral.

Starting Gold: 3d6×10 gp

Starting Age: Age is very important for the clan. Entering the clan is a vocation that arises at the beginning of adulthood, when the ideals of youth collide with the cold and cruel reality of the political world. We generally join the clan by majority, although some people join it a little before.

Teamwork (None), Tumble (Dex) Class Features All of the following are class features of the Disciple of the Cat Ear Clan. Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A disciple of the Cat Ear Clan is proficient with all simple weapons, but is not proficient with armors and shields. The disciple can chose an exotic weapon. She gains proficiency to this weapon. In addition she can choose a number of martial weapons equal to his intelligence modifier, and gain proficiency to these weapons. Spells: Throughout his existence among the members of the cat ear clan, the disciple learns to use a special discipline called "Art of Transmutation of Body and Mind". With this discipline, she masters one form of magic called Transmutation. Transmutation is a special kind of magic that reproduce effects of certain spell from abjuration, transmutation, and divination schools. The disciple began his career with two Transmutations but can learn a lot as she gained experience. The transmutations she learns are chosen from any spell list (Cleric, Sorcerer, Bard, or even Druid), and must be choose from abjuration, transmutation, or divination school. She can only learn spell with personal range (like Arcane Sight, Iron Body, Shield or Glibness), or that target a creature including her (like Bull’s Strength, Spider Climb, Cloak of Chaos or Haste). She can only use these transmutations on herself. At first level she must choose Wisdom or Charisma (and cannot change this choice). Then, to cast a transmutation, she must have a chosen ability score equal to 10 + spell level. She does not need to prepare or read her spells. She learns and cast them when she needs, and casts them like profane spells. To cast a Transmutation, she must spend a part of her daily intenal energy called Flux (See the Meditation ability below for further informations). Each level of Transmutation cost an amount of Flux described below. Table: Flux cost for Transmutation casting Transmutation Level Flux Cost 1st 1 2nd 3 3th 5 4th 7 5th 9 6th 11 7th 13 8th 15 9th 17 She can only be affected by one transmutation at a time. If she is under the effect of a transmutation, and activates a second, the first will dissipate immediately. Meditation (Su). It is not easy to master the art of transmutation, and the disciple must synchronize his body and his mind a little like a psionic. But unlike psionics, the disciple does not need to be in this state permanently. At the beginning of each day, the disciple must undertake a meditative trance which takes 30 minutes + 2 minutes for each known transmutation. During this meditation, she must not be interrupted (if not, she must start again). At the end of this meditation, perform a Concentration check and multiply the result of this check by the highest level of Transmutation to which you have access. This final result become your Flux pool available for the whole day. The Flux is your internal energy, and each day this energy reserve fluctuates. Favorite Transmutation (Ex). At 3rd level, choose a transmutation you know. This transmutation is always cast with +1 caster level. In addition, once a day, this transmutation can be cast without counting in your number of spells per day. You can choose another transmutation at level 6 and every 3 levels after. Supernatural Art (Ex). At level 4 (and 4 level after), you can cast a transmutation as a supernatural ability instead of spell, but it consumes two spells uses per day instead of one. For this, choose a Transmutation you know and that is a Favorite Transmutation, then, you must success a Concentration check with a DC of 10 + (2 x Transmutation level). If the check is successful, the transmutation is launched as a supernatural ability. Whether the concentration test is successful or not, two spells uses per day are consumed. Prodigious Art. The disciple becomes more intimate with his art, and being his mastery of transmutations to a higher level each time. These following technics : Double Transmutation (Ex). At level 5, you can be affected by two transmutation at the same time. But at least one of the two transmutations must be a Favorite Transmutation. Bonded Transmutation (Ex). At level 8, when you cast a Transmutation that is a Favorite Transmutation, you can choose a willing creature within 30 ft of you. This chosen creature receive the same effet as you, as per the effect of Share Spell. You must spends 1 Flux point from your Flux pool to use this ability. Triple Transmutation (Ex). At level 11, your Double Transmutation ability evolves, and you can now be affected by a maximum of three transmutations at a time. But at least one of the three transmutations must be a Favorite Transmutation. Counter Strike (Su). At level 14, when an ally, in a range of 30 ft of you, is targeted by an attack or a spell that deal damage, you can use an immediate action to protect him with a transmutation on you. Firstly, roll a spellcraft check with a DC equal to 10 + level of the chosen active transmutation. If you success the spellcraft check, all effects of the choosen transmutation ends, and the spell energy is expelled as a poweful shield of glowing light that now surround the ally. This shield provide him a bonus to AC, a Spell Resistance, and a damage réduction equal to twice the spell level of the transmutation used for this effect. Then, immediately after the ally was hit (or miss) by the attack/spell, the glowing shield explode, and deal 5d12 force damages to the creature. If the chosen transmutation is a Favorite Transmutation, the creature must make a Fortitude save with a DC equal to 10 + spell level + spell ability modifier (Wisdom or Charisma). If it fails, it is push away to a distance of 2d4 x 5 ft of the ally, and is at bay for 1 round. Multiple Transmutation (Ex).

Clan members are not tender with traitors, condemning them to exile in hostile territories, or delivering them up as opponents of warlords or smugglers. In short, it is often a slow and painful death that awaits those who leave the clan. And although they retain their power and abilities, there is a good chance that the clan will make them the goal of a mission.
