Class Features[edit]

All of the following are class features of the Fortune Teller.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Fortune Tellers are proficient in simple weapons and throwing cards, but no armor or shields.

Spells: A fortune teller casts divine spells as a cleric. To learn or cast a spell, the fortune teller must have a Charisma score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a fortune teller's spell is 10 + the spell level + the fortune teller's Charisma modifier.

Upon reaching 4th level, and at every even-numbered fortune teller level after that (6th, 8th, and so on), a fortune teller can choose to learn a new spell in place of one he already knows. In effect, the fortune teller "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 fortune teller spell the fortune teller can cast. A fortune teller 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 he gains new spells known for the level.

A fortune teller prepares and casts spells the way a cleric does, though she cannot lose a prepared spell to spontaneously cast a cure spell in its place. A fortune teller may prepare and cast any spell on the fortune teller spell list, provided that she can cast spells of that level, but she must choose which spells to prepare during her daily meditation.

Focus: A fortune teller always requires some manner of focus to cast their spells, often cards, magic crystal balls, or the like. They recieve a suitable focus of a value no more than 300 gp for free at 1st level and which acts as a masterwork skill tool in either Perform, Sense Motive, or Sleight of Hand. The focus can be enhanced as a magic item in its own right. Enhanced or not, the focus adds the users class level to its hardness, and twice class level to its hp. If the focus is ever lost, it can be replaced with the base masterwork version for the cost of 300 gp.

Wheel of Fortune (Su): At 2nd level, a fortune teller can risk fortune's bane or boon at will on any willing target within Close range (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels). Over the course of 1 minute the creature's fortune is told, and at the end roll a 1d4. On a result of 4, the creature gains a +1 luck bonus to any d20 roll made within the next 24 hours. On a 1, they gain a -1 luck penalty which occurs whenever fickle fate (that is, the DM) deems fit within the next 24 hours.

As they level they may roll higher and higher dice, getting different and more extreme results. A creature can always choose to take a smaller die.
