Wyrmblood Sage

“	The studies of the newly acquired scales brought me to a new height, how much wonderful knowledge can we extract from them.	”
—Unknown Wyrm Sage

A Wyrmblood Sage is a wizard or other arcane prepared caster who tap into her own dragon blood, not unlike a Sorcerer. However instead of gainiung a vast amount of magical power, a wyrmblood sage seek to expand her already vast library of knowledge. A wyrmblood sage studies the ancient draconic lore, her own dragon blood and finally many seek an actual specimen to experiment on and study, although such pipe dreams rarely become reality.

Class Features

All of the following are class features of the Wyrmblood Sage.

Spellcasting: At each level, you gain new spells per day and an increase in caster level (and spells known, if applicable) as if you had also gained a level in a spellcasting class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level. You do not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If you had more than one prepared arcane spellcasting class before becoming a Wyrmblood Sage, you must decide to which class to add each level for the purpose of determining spells per day, caster level, and spells known.

Draconic Knowledge (Ex): A wyrmblood sage may spend a single hour per day studying ancient lore, and the knowledge trapped in her blood. If she does so, she gain a +4 circumstance bonus on Knowledge (Arcana) and Spellcraft checks she make in the next 24 hours.

Additionally as part of studying she may consume a single scale she harvested from a recently slain or living dragon, if she does she learn a single spell as per her spell lore class feature, although she is limited to her own class list unless it is the scale of a true dragon whose CR is equal to her character level -2 or higher. She only gain this benefits once per particular dragon whose scale she studies.

Eschew Material (Ex): A wyrmblood sage learn how to ignore annoyance like material components, substituting extremely cheap on with her raw power. She gain Eschew Materials as a bonus feat.

Spell Lore: At each level, a wyrmblood sage may add a spell from the Druid, Cleric, Sorcerer/Wizard, Wu Jen or other full casting class (from 1st to 9th level spell) of a level equal to her highest level spell slot available or lower into her spell list and spellbook for free. The learned spell is an arcane spell and behave as any other spell on the wyrmblood Sage spell list.

Bonus Feat: At 2nd and 4th level, a wyrmblood sage tap into the vast knowledge of dragon, gaining a bonus [item creation] or [metamagic] feat she meet the prerequisites for.

Sorcerous Surge (Ex): A 3rd level wyrmblood sage can tap into her dragon blood to invoke her magic much like a Sorcerer would. She choose a single spell in her spell book (or equivalent) for each level she possess, she may cast those spells spontaneously by losing a spell slot of the same level. She may add [metamagic] feats to those spells, but doing so lengthen the casting to a full-round action and it consume a spell slot of the modified level instead. Whenever she gain access to a new spell level, the wyrmblood sage may select a new set of spells for this ability.

Scale of Immortality: A 5th level Wyrmblood Sage learn some of the secret dragon's extremely long lifespan. She gain a scale, as long as she keep the scale on herself and it does not leave her possession for more than 24 hours she cease aging. If she loses it she age a year per day until she reach her true age, dies of old age, reacquire her scale of immortality or create another. She may create another scale of immortality beyond her first by spending 1,000 GP in material, a scale harvested from an dragon and 24 hours of work.

Wyrmblood Archivist: A 5th level wyrmblood sage has advanced to the point she has intently tapped into her dragon blood, whenever she gain a class level which advance her spellcasting she gain a bonus spell as her Spell Lore class feature. This include this level.
