Class Features

All of the following are class features of the Thaumaturgist.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Thaumaturgists are proficient with all simple weapons, but not with any type of armor or shield.

Paths: At first level, choose two paths, and a third at second level. You gain access to the listed spells or psionic powers in the chosen paths at the appropriate levels, as well as any abilities listed in those paths.

Spells and psionic abilities gained (called Path Abilities) are treated as Spell-like abilities, except for the following exceptions:

• Path Abilities have a DC equal to 10 + 1/2 your level + your Charisma modifier.
• Path Abilities have both verbal and somatic components (and thus are affected by arcane spell failure.
• Path Abilities cannot be cast defensively.
• Path Abilities have a caster level equal to the number of levels in thaumaturgist.
• Path Abilities that mimic psionic powers are automatically augmented up to the caster's caster level.
• If you have an instance of a Path Ability in effect, the first instance of the Path Ability ends should you cast the same Path Ability.

Only a few Path Abilities can be readied at any one time, according to the table above. A thaumaturgist may cast any of the Path Abilities they have readied once before they are expended, and cannot be used again until regained. By spending five minutes of uninterrupted concentration, meditation, or prayer, the thaumaturgist may chance their currently readied Path Abilities with any others on their list of known Path Abilities. A single Path Ability may be readied at most once.

A thaumaturgist may regain all of their readied spells by taking a swift action followed immediately by a standard action which can be a simple meditation to a mighty flair of the wrist. At the thaumaturgist's option, they may also cast an eldritch bolt of power when regaining their Path Abilities which is a ranged touch attack with a close range that deals 1d6 damage for every two character levels the thaumaturgist possesses (minimum 1d6). Using the bolt counts as a Path Ability.
