Sith

<-general description->.

Making a sith

The Sith are very similar to anti-paladins and somewhat similar to monks. They are practitioners of "the Force" (a non-deity attached divine magic source) in order to cast spells and use their special abilities. They are the equal and opposite of Jedi Knights.

<-Strong points and weak points, and effectiveness with party members.->.

Abilities: A Sith depends on Wisdom for AC and for Force abilities and the three physical attributes–-Strength, Dexterity and Constitution--for the usual reasons.

Races: Any race can become a Sith.

Alignment: Sith may not be good or lawful.

Starting Gold: 6d4x10 gp (120 gp).

Starting Age: Moderate.

The hilt can be unique in sturdiness and can come in many designs. A Sith can choose whatever design for a hilt. His choice of Lightsaber are 1 handed [1d8], or dual wield [two separate 1d8], or double bladed [1d8/1d8]) each with 19-20 x2 critical.

Lightsaber Finesse (Su): A 1st level Sith receives the Saber Finesse ability. The Sith may use his Dexterity modifier instead of his Strength modifier as the bonus to his melee attacks when using his Lightsaber.

This shock additionally does 1d6 points of damage regardless of a passed save. If the subject is touched during the first round it gives 1d3 dmg. The shock can be blocked by a lightsaber.

{{#anc:Ozzing}} The increased liquidity gives Sith a additional 1d8 to their Sith Shock, lesser. But -1Con, and speed reduced by 5

{{#anc:Echo Madness}} (Su): At 15th level when subjected to any enchantment spell which is successfully resisted through a successful saving throw, or immunity, a Sith may reflect the spell back at its caster with the same DC and caster level as before by inflicting themselves with 1 point of Wisdom damage. herself

Force Field At 16th level, a Sith gains spell resistance equal to 10 + 1/2 Sith level + wisdom modifier.

Faith in the Force (Ex): When Sith reach a very high level in their training, the pull of the Light Side lessens... but never truly dissipates. The amount of Jedi Taint required to tempt a 19th level Sith to the Light Side is now doubled.

Sith Lord (Ex): Upon reaching 20th level, a Sith may be considered as having reached the rank of Sith Lord. The Sith has become one with the force and gains a +2 bonus to his base Dexterity and Wisdom scores.

Force Lightning/Energy Absorb(Su): Sith who have mastered the Force may now utilize its power in new ways for attack and defense. True Lords can fire arcs of Force lightning from their palms or fingertips, and others can absorb energy attacks altogether. A Sith of 20th level may use either of these new powers to great effect four times a day as a move action. An arc of Force lightning deals d8 damage per 2 Sith levels (maximum 10d8 damage at 20th level) in a 40-foot cone emanating from their hands. If a Sith chooses to absorb the energy attacks (including Force attacks like Force Blast), he instead absorbs the damage. The absorbed damage heals the Sith for d8 + Sith levels.

Sith Decay

{{#anc:Ozzing}} The increased liquidity gives Sith a additional 1d8 to their Sith Shock, lesser. But -1Con, and speed reduced by 5

Ex-Sith

A Sith who trys to uphold the sanity of law and goodwill of the Jedi Order, leaves the chaos and personal gain of the Sith, and may change to the Jedi order. But Sith do not lose their connection to the Force or their Force abilities. A Sith who betrays the madness, can always come back - we have cookies! Don't look into the light!
