==Incantator==

In the same family as warlock, incantators are invocation user, however they have a few key differences. Firstly they possess minor spellcasting instead of the warlock's more offensive abilities. Secondly an incantator's power are derived from her voice, her invocations and spells do not need somatic components but vocal components. Thirdly an incantator is a much poorer combatant, which they make up with their increase versatility.

====Class Features====

All of the following are class features of the Incantator.

'''Weapon and Armor Proficiency:''' Incantators are proficient with all simple weapon as well as one martial weapon of her choice, she is also proficient with light armor but no shield. The Incantator does not incur arcane spell failure when casting in armor since her spells do not require somatic components.

{{sidebar|Advancement by Prestige Class|A Incantator advance both of her invocation and her spellcasting when a prestige class would advance one of them. They count their ability to use invocation and cast spells as a single 'entity' and as a result cannot use it to qualify for a mystic theurge-esque prestige class and use it to advance both.  

Whenever the Incantator take a class which grant a bonus Invocation which apply to Eldricth Blast she may trade it for another Invocation of the same level. She may ignore the Eldritch Blast requirement of prestige classes (including essence and shape invocation).}}

'''{{Anchor|Spells}}:''' An incantator casts arcane spells, which are drawn from the Sorcerer/Wizard and  Cleric spell list. She can cast any spell she knows without preparing it ahead of time. To learn or cast a spell, a incantator must have a [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]] score equal to at least 10 + the spell. The [[SRD:DC|Difficulty Class]] for a [[SRD:Saving Throw|saving throw]] against a incantator’s spell is 10 + the [[SRD:Spell Level|spell level]] + the incantator’s [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]] modifier.

Like other spellcasters, a incantator can cast only a certain number of spells of each [[SRD:Spell Level|spell level]] per day. Her base daily spell allotment is given on [[#Table: The Incantator |Table: The Incantator ]]. Every incantator spell has a verbal component and do not have any somatic components. In addition, she receives bonus spells per day if she has a high [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]] score. When [[#Table: INcantator Spells Known|Table: Incantator Spells Known]] indicates that the incantator  gets 0 spells per day of a given [[SRD:Spell Level|spell level]], he gains only the bonus spells he would be entitled to based on his [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]] score for that [[SRD:Spell Level|spell level]].

The incantator’s selection of spells is extremely limited. A incantator begins play knowing four 0-level spells of your choice. At most new incantator levels, she gains one or more new spells, as indicated on [[#Table: Incantator Spells Known|Table: Incantator Spells Known]]. (Unlike spells per day, the number of spells a incantator knows is not affected by his [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]] score; the numbers on [[#Table: Incantator Spells Known|Table: Incantator Spells Known]] are fixed.)

Upon reaching 5th level, and at every third incantator  level after that (8th, 11th, and so on), a Incantator can choose to learn a new spell in place of one she already knows. In effect, the Incantator “loses” the old spell in exchange for the new one. The new spell’s level must be the same as that of the spell being exchanged, and it must be at least two levels lower than the highest-level Incantator spell the incantator can cast. A Incantator may swap only a single spell at any given level, and must choose whether or not to swap the spell at the same time that she gains new spells known for the level.

As noted above, a incantator need not prepare her spells in advance. She can cast any spell she knows at any time, assuming she has not yet used up his allotment of spells per day for the spell’s level.

An Incantator count as a warlock of her level for the purpose of qualifying for feats and whatnot. Since she has no eldritch blast she may not select eldritch shape or eldritch essence as her invocations.
