==Worldseer==

The worldseer is surprisingly as much of a monk as she is a druid, at least in terms of the concept of perfection.  But while monks turn inward and become sensitive to the inner workings of their body allowing them acts beyond mere men, the worldseer focuses on the world outside, to the point where the slightest gust of wind and the reflection of sunlight on a lake can tell the worldseer volumes of her surroundings.  In this way, worldseers gain the power of nature, not through reverence but through keen senses and training.

===Making a Worldseer===

'''Abilities:''' Worldseers use [[SRD:Wisdom|Wisdom]] for their spellcasting and spell DCs, making it critical for any spell-focused build.  As with any class, a healthy [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]] prevents a horrible death.  [[SRD:Strength|Strength]] and [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]] are important for worldseers who wish to turn their pursuits towards martial ends.  [[SRD:Intelligence|Intelligence]] can pad their skill points.  [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]] is least important, unless you need to handle animals and deal with others.

'''Races:''' Races known for druids, rangers, and barbarians alike tend to form the inherently wild-oriented worldseer.

'''Alignment:''' Any neutral.  While a worldseer does not necessarily revere nature to the same extent as a druid, they still must have a mind that can relate to the inherent neutrality of the world.

'''Starting Gold:''' 5d4&times;10 gp (125 gp).

'''[[SRD:Race Descriptions#Starting Age|Starting Age]]:''' As [[SRD:Fighter|fighter]].

====Class Features====

All of the following are class features of the worldseer.

'''Weapon and Armor Proficiency:''' Worldseers are proficient with simple weapons (except crossbows) as well as longbows, shortbows and scimitars.  They may gain additional proficiencies depending on the nature of their [[#World Resonance|World Resonance]] class feature.

Worldseers are proficient with light and medium armors as well as shields (except tower shields).  They do not have the same restriction as druids with metal armor. 

'''{{Anchor|Spells}}:''' A worldseer casts divine spells, which are drawn from the [[SRD:Druid Spell List|druid spell list]].  Her alignment may restrict her from casting certain spells opposed to her moral or ethical beliefs.  To prepare or cast a spell, the worldseer must have a [[SRD:Wisdom|Wisdom]] score equal to at least 10 + the spell level.  The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a worldseer’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the worldseer’s [[SRD:Wisdom|Wisdom]] modifier.  She receives bonus spells per day if she has a high [[SRD:Wisdom|Wisdom]] score.  She does not spontaneously cast ''summon'' spells as a druid does. 

'''{{Anchor|Leyline Blessing}}:''' Worldseers learn how to bind the energy of leylines to flow through their bodies, granting themselves inherent abilities based on their [[#World Resonance|World Resonance]].  At 1st level, 2nd level, 4th level, and every four levels beyond (8th, 12th, etc) she may select an ability listed under her [[#World Resonance|World Resonance]].

'''{{Anchor|Nature Sense}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' A worldseer gains a +2 bonus on [[SRD:Knowledge Skill|Knowledge]] (nature) and [[SRD:Survival Skill|Survival]] checks. 

'''{{Anchor|World Resonance}}:''' The spiritual leylines of energy that criss-cross the natural world are the source of druidic magic, and contain information and skills of countless creatures.  Certain frequencies resonate naturally with the worldseer, granting her a host of new abilities as she levels, similar in function to a cleric's domain.  Once the World Resonance is selected, it cannot be changed.  The list of available World Resonances is labeled at "[[#World Resonances|World Resonances]]" below.

'''{{Anchor|Woodland Stride}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' Starting at 2nd level, a worldseer may move through any sort of undergrowth (such as natural thorns, briers, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at her normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment.  However, thorns, briers, and overgrown areas that have been magically manipulated to impede motion still affect her. 

'''{{Anchor|Spell Expansion}}:''' At 3rd level, a worldseer's attempts at reading the currents of nature grants her insight on other forms of divination.  She may select any divination spell 1st level or lower and add it to her class spells known list.  At 7th level, she chooses a 3rd level or lower divination spell.  At 11th, she chooses a 5th level or lower divination spell.  At 15th, she chooses a 7th level or lower divination spell.  At 19th, she chooses a 9th level or lower divination spell.  The spell may be from any class list, but it must be divination.  She may prepare the spell as normal afterwards.

'''{{Anchor|Trackless Step}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' Starting at 3rd level, a worldseer leaves no trail in natural surroundings and cannot be tracked.  She may choose to leave a trail if so desired. 

'''{{Anchor|Resist Nature's Lure}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' Starting at 4th level, a worldseer gains a +4 bonus on saving throws against the spells and spell-like abilities of [[SRD:Fey Type|fey]]. 

'''{{Anchor|Animal Resonance}}:''' At 6th level, a worldseer can tap into the spirit of animals to briefly grant them a bonus to their abilities.  Select an ability score. Once selected, you cannot change until you level up.  The worldseer gains a +2 bonus on two ability scores for up to 1 round per level per day.  They may enter this enhanced state as a free action on their turn only, and rounds need not be consecutive.  Every four levels beyond 6th (10th, 14th, etc.) the bonus increases by +2.

'''{{Anchor|Avatar of Nature}}:''' At 20th level, the energy of nature fuses into her body.  She gains a light and ethereal appearance and her type changes to [[SRD:Fey Type|Fey]]. She still counts as a member of her previous type when beneficial to her.  She gains [[SRD:Low-Light Vision|low-light vision]] (or her existing low-light vision doubles in range), and she never suffers from natural terrain on whichever plane she is on.  This includes underbrush, high or low temperatures, molten lava, the entrapment effect of Hades, the negative energy drain or positive energy explosion of the negative and positive energy planes, and other such effects.  This does not exclude her from unnatural or indirect sources of damage, such as an energy damage from a spell, being suffocated by lava, or a similar effect.

====World Resonances====

The following World Resonances grant a number of class features which are gained over the various levels of worldseer.  Unless otherwise noted, the DC to save against these abilities is equal to 10 + 1/2 the worldseer's level + the worldseer's [[SRD:Wisdom|Wisdom]] modifier. 

'''{{Anchor|The Green}}:''' You are in tune with the peaceful aspects of nature, the flow of life energy, and constant growth.  Your abilities tend towards recovery, buffing, and positive energy.

''{{Anchor|Cycle of Life}} {{Ex}}:'' Your body is saturated with life even in death.  You cannot be raised as an undead for any reason, your soul cannot be trapped or contained (though abilities which trap your still living body, like ''[[SRD:Imprisonment|imprisonment]]'' still work), and you do not pay the experience cost or [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]] loss for being revived from the dead.  You must still pay the various material component costs however.

''{{Anchor|Fountain of Life}} {{Ex}}:'' You no longer need to eat or drink, as the essence of the planet feeds you.  At 5th level, you no longer need to sleep either and become immune to sleep effects.  At 10th level, you no longer need to breathe and you become immune to inhaled poisons and non-hp damaging gas-based attacks, such as ''[[SRD:Cloudkill|cloudkill]]''.  At 15th level, you gain a [[SRD:Druid|druid]]'s timeless body and no longer take aging penalties.  At 20th level, your lifespan is extended indefinitely.  You are immortal, and become immune to [[SRD:Death Effect|death effects]].

''{{Anchor|Healing Pulse}} {{Su}}:'' Any healing spell you cast always has at least half of its maximum effect.  For example, if you roll 2d8+7 to heal someone, and you get a 2 and a 7, you may treat the 2 as if you had rolled a 4 (half of 8).  You must be at least 4th level to select this ability.

''{{Anchor|Improved Augmentation}} {{Su}}:'' You gain an additional +2 bonus to any spell you cast which imparts an increase in ability scores.  For example, ''[[SRD:Bull's Strength|bull's strength]]'' now imparts a +6 bonus to [[SRD:Strength|Strength]].

''{{Anchor|Invigorate}} {{Su}}:'' As a [[SRD:Standard Actions|standard action]] at will, you may grant yourself a number of temp hp equal to twice your class level.  These temporary hp do not stack with itself or any other source, it overlaps.

''{{Anchor|Perfect Health}} {{Ex}}:'' You gain a +2 bonus on saving throws against [[SRD:Disease|disease]] and [[SRD:Poison|poison]].  At 5th level, you become immune to diseases, and your saving throw against poison rises to +4.  At 10th level, you become immune to poison as well.  At 15th level, you become immune to ability penalties and ability damage.  At 20th level, you become immune to ability drain and energy drain.

''{{Anchor|Spontaneous Healer}} {{Su}}:'' You gain healing spells at the same level as a [[SRD:Cleric|cleric]], and may spontaneously convert spell slots into level-appropriate cure spells just like a cleric.

''{{Anchor|Undeath's Foe}} {{Su}}:'' Any weapon you use gains the [[SRD:Disruption|Disruption]] weapon enhancement, as well as the [[SRD:Ghost Touch (Weapon Enhancement)|Ghost Touch]] enhancement.  You must be at least 8th level to select this ability.

''{{Anchor|Undead Slayer}} {{Su}}:'' You gain your class level as a bonus to damage against undead creatures and creatures vulnerable to positive energy damage.  Any weapons you use deal this additional damage as extra positive energy damage.

''{{Anchor|Vital Sense}} {{Su}}:'' You can understand the general condition of any living creature you see in a 60 foot cone as a swift action.  This tells you if the creature is healthy (no damage), wounded, critical (less than 10% of its health), dying, or dead.  It also tells you if they are afflicted by any ravages of the body such as poison, disease, or paralyzation, but not the source of the problem, nor any effects which are mental (such as being charmed or dominated).  With a successful [[SRD:Sense Motive Skill|Sense Motive]] check with a DC equal to 1/4th the target's current hp, you can divine their exact hit points as a standard action.

'''{{Anchor|The Predator}}:''' You are in tune with the spirit of hunters, the release of death, and predatory skill.    Your abilities tend towards martial skill, direct weapon damage, and the ability to track down opponents.

''{{Anchor|Blood Frenzy}} {{Ex}}:'' Whenever you strike an opponent, each successive blow deals a cumulative +1 damage, starting at +0 and rising, up to a maximum of 5 + your character level.  The benefit remains until you change targets or do not strike your opponent for 1 minute, at which point the damage bonus resets.

''{{Anchor|Bloodhound}} {{Ex}}:'' You gain the [[SRD:Track|Track]] feat.  At 5th level you gain a +4 bonus to tracking your target, following the ripples in the leyline.  At 10th level, the bonus rises to +8.  At 15th level the bonus rises to +12.

''{{Anchor|Brutal Natural Attack}} {{Ex}}:'' Select one natural kind of attack you possess, its critical multiplier rises by 1 step (typically from 20/x2 to 20/x3).

''{{Anchor|Combat Style}} {{Ex}}:'' You may select a combat style as a [[ranger]] of your class level, gaining the bonus feats at the appropriate levels.

''{{Anchor|Devour Essence}} {{Su}}:'' When you slay a creature with your melee attack, you absorb their life force and heal 1 hp per HD of the slain enemy (minimum 1).

''{{Anchor|Fighting Spirit}} {{Ex}}:'' You count as a fighter of your worldseer level for the purposes of feats and pre-requisites, and you may treat your worldseer levels as having full BAB when qualifying for feats.  For example, a Worldseer 10 (BAB 7) can select a feat or take a prestige class with a BAB requirement of +10.

''{{Anchor|Hunter Sense}} {{Su}}:'' Select one creature type (and possibly subtype) from the favored enemy list of the [[ranger]].

At 5th level, you may select a second type (and possibly subtype).  At 10th level, you may select a third.  A 15th level, you may select a forth.  At 20th level, you may select a fifth.  You can tell the difference between what types of creatures are around and about you.

''{{Anchor|Instinctive Strike}} {{Ex}}:'' Your attacks come from instinct, allowing you to strike hard and fast each time from muscle memory.  Each round you may take 10 on one of your attack rolls.  You must be at least 12th level to select this ability.

''{{Anchor|Martial Hunter}} {{Ex}}:'' You know the best way to employ weapons and armor on the hunt.  You gain one martial or exotic weapon proficiency of your choice and heavy armor proficiency.  At 5th level, you may move in medium armor with no reduction in speed, and the armor check penalty decreases by 1.  At 10th level, you may move in heavy armor with no reduction in speed, and the armor check penalty decreases by 2 instead.  At 15h level, your AC in armor rises by 1, and your armor check penalty decreases by 4 instead.  At 20th level, your AC in armor instead rises by 2, your armor check penalty vanishes completely.

''{{Anchor|Marked Prey}} {{Ex}}:'' As a swift action you may assign a target in 60 feet to be your marked prey, gaining a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls against them, but taking a -1 penalty on attack rolls for all other targets.  You cannot end your marked prey ability until the target is dead or the encounter ends, so it is important to stay focused on your target or you will take penalties.  Your bonus and penalty increases to +2/-2 at 5th level.  At 10th level it becomes +3/-3.  At 15th level it becomes +4/-4.  At 20th level it becomes +5/-5.

At 8th level, you instead gain the benefits of the [[SRD:Whirlwind Attack|Whirlwind Attack]] feat.  You do not need to make the pre-requisites of the feat.

'''{{Anchor|The Prey}}:''' You are in tune with the spirit of survival, enduring hardships, and defending against many dangers.  Your abilities tend to be bonuses on saving throws, damage reduction, and stealth.

''{{Anchor|Bloodied}} {{Ex}}:'' When reduced to less than 50% of your max hp, you may choose to enter a rage identical to the [[barbarian]] class feature as a free action on your turn.  You gain +4 [[SRD:Strength|Strength]], +4 [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]], -2 AC, and +2 on [[Will]] saving throws, lasting for 3 + your [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]] modifier rounds.  Unlike normal rage, you cannot choose to end your rage early.  While in a rage you cannot use spells or spell-trigger items.  You may enter such a rage 1/day.  At 5th level you may enter this rage 2/day.  At 10th level you may enter a rage 3/day.  At 15th level you may enter a rage 4/day.  At 20th level you may enter a rage 5/day.  Your rage does not improve with your level like a barbarian, and you gain no other class features (such as not gaining tireless rage).

''{{Anchor|Chameleon Skin}} {{Su}}:'' You are able to blend in with your environment like a chameleon as a supernatural ability, gaining an enhancement bonus on Hide checks equal to 5 + 1/2 your class level.

''{{Anchor|Fey Defense}} {{Ex}}:'' You gain damage reduction 1/cold iron.  At 4th level and every three levels beyond it rises by +1.  This damage reduction stacks with similar damage reduction by virtue of race, feat, class, or other permanent effects, but not from items or spell effects.

''{{Anchor|Drop The Tail}} {{Su}}:'' You may employ a ''[[SRD:Dimension Door|dimension door]]'' effect as an immediate action, but each use halves your current hit points (minimum 1).  It is usually used as an easy escape out of a dangerous grapple or other situation, leaving a large portion of your life force in exchange for freedom.  You may perform this ability once every 1d4 rounds, keeping in mind the risks of use.  You must be at least 8th level to select this ability.

''{{Anchor|Intimidating Presence}} {{Ex}}:'' Like many animals you seem to puff up and become somehow more intimidating when you need to be.  You gain a +4 bonus on [[SRD:Intimidate Skill|Intimidate]] checks.  At 5th level, you may intimidate everyone in 30 feet who can see you with a standard action.  At 10th level, creatures who are demoralized remain so for a number of rounds equal to your [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]] bonus (minimum 1).  At 15th level, creatures who are demoralized remain so for 1 round/class level.  At 20th level, you may make an intimidate or mass intimidate as a swift action.

''{{Anchor|Mettle}} {{Ex}}:'' You gain mettle, allowing you to ignore the effects of a successful save on a spell or spell-like effect that offers [[Fortitude]] or [[Will]] half.  You must be at least 8th level to select this ability.

''{{Anchor|Opossum}} {{Ex}}:'' You learn how to play dead with such effectiveness as to have others make you a non-target.  You may make a bluff check, using your class level or your actual ranks plus your [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]], and targets must make a sense motive or heal check against you to determine if you live.  It is a free action to enter the stupor, typically done at the end of an attack in an attempt to make the blow appear fatal.  At 5th level, you are able to fall in a stupor and cease your need to breath for 1 minute per class level.  At 10th level, your body shuts down and you no longer feel warm to the touch and do not take damage from environmental effects for 1 minute per class level.  At 15th level, the time for your abilities becomes 1 hour per class level, and you are effectively dead, possessing no vitals.  At 20th level, you can remain effectively dead for 1 day per class level, not needing to eat, sleep, or breath, not aging, and feeling no pain.  In all cases you may "wake up" as a standard action, but you are dazed for 1 round afterward.

''{{Anchor|Poison Flesh}} {{Ex}}:'' Creatures which strike you with a bite attack or swallow whole must make a [[Fortitude]] save, or be [[nauseated]] for 1 round, and sickened 1 round after.  Most creatures of animal intelligence refuse to use their bite attack against you further after this foul-tasting encounter.  At 5th level, ingestion deals 1d2 points of [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]] damage with no secondary effect.  At 10th level this rises to 1d6 points of [[Con]] damage, and at level 15th it rises to 1d10 points of [[Con]] damage.  At 20th level, it becomes a save or die, and on a successful save they take 1d10 [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]] damage and are nauseated and sickened for 1 round.

''{{Anchor|Second Wind}} {{Sp}}:'' Once per week, you may trigger a ''[[SRD:Heal|heal]]'' spell upon yourself as an immediate action at a caster level equal to your class level.

===Campaign Information===

====Playing a Worldseer====

'''Religion:''' Worldseers and druids are two sides of the same coin, and so those gods and spirits druid reverse are also the spirits worldseers revere.

'''Other Classes:''' At first glance other classes would not know the difference between a druid in a worldseer, until it comes to pass the realization that the worldseer lacks an animal companion or the ability to wildshape.  While this might be seen as a weakness, the worldseer makes up for it in the various powers he receives, taking on an aspect of nature, and the power to boost his ability scores briefly in times of need.

'''Combat:''' Worldseers are spellcasters, and while more durable than the average wizard, they are not the melee powerhouses druids are.  They excel in battlefield control and blasting, using their secondary powers to supplement them.

'''Advancement:''' Any classes suitable for a druid, or even a cleric, is often suitable for a worldseer.

====Worldseers in the World====

{{quote|I speak for the trees!|orig=Lormax, Ewok Worldseer}}

'''Daily Life:''' The hums of the world of man have no interest for you, save where they interfere in your world.  You live with nature, you know its paths and the magic deep within, and you like it.  Others may see you as a strange hippy, but you know they are simply blind to what is already around them.

'''Notables:''' It is said a strange being calling himself a "Lormax" appeared after the destruction of considerable tracts of forest in the realms of Aendor, after an incident of an exploding moon showering fiery death from above.  He was integral in helping restore the ecosystem before the devastation could spread.

'''Organizations:''' Worldseers know each other but do not necessarily gather in number.  Ironically druids tend to shun them.  

'''NPC Reactions:''' Worldseer?  Druid?  What's the difference to a commoner?

====Worldseers Lore====

Characters with ranks in Knowledge Nature can research worldseers to learn more about them.  When a character makes a skill check, read or paraphrase the following, including information from lower DCs.

{| class="zebra d20"
|+ Knowledge Nature
! DC || class="left" | Result
|- 
| 10 || class="left" | Worldseers are druids who forgo wildshape for divination and other talents.
|- 
| 15 || class="left" | Worldseers can use leylines to produce several at-will effects.
|- 
| 20 || class="left" | High level worldseers can be avatars of nature, growing stronger the more wild an area it is.
|- 
| 30 || class="left" | Those who reach this level can research individual worldseers, their legends, whereabouts, and whatnot.
