Divine Champion

(PRESTIGE CLASS)

A divine champion is the strong right arm of her deity. She serves as a guardian of holy sites, a protector of pilgrims, and a leader of crusades. Though paladins fill this role in many good-aligned churches, a divine champion may take up the banner of any deity regardless of alignment or ethos. These holy warriors are loved by their patron’s worshipers and hated by the church’s enemies in equal measure. Most champions come from a combat or military background. Barbarians, fighters, paladins, and rangers are the most common candidates, though monks, clerics, and the more militant druids frequently pursue this path as well.

• Base Attack Bonus: +7

• Hit Die: d10
• Base Attack Bonus: High
• High Saves: Fortitude and Reflex

• Bonus Feat: At 2nd level, the divine champion may select a bonus feat from the following list: Blind-Fight, Combat Expertise, Dodge, Exotic Weapon Proficiency, Extra Turning, Improved Combat Expertise, Improved Critical (any), Improved Initiative, Improved Parry, Weapon Focus (any).

This ability functions just like the smite good or smite evil abilities of other classes, but it may be used against any creature whose alignment differs from the divine champion’s. If the divine champion accidentally attempts to smite a creature of the same alignment as himself, the effect fails and his smite attempt is wasted for the day. This ability may be used once per day.
• Divine Wrath: At 5th level, once per day, the divine champion is capable of channeling the awesome fury of his patron deity, granting him considerable bonuses in combat. He gains damage reduction 5/- and a +3 sacred bonus on attack rolls, weapon damage, and saving throws. The divine fury lasts for one round per point of Charisma bonus the divine champion has.

Duelist

(PRESTIGE CLASS)

The duelist is a nimble, intelligence fighter trained in making precise attacks with light weapons, such as the rapier. She always takes full advantage of her quick reflexes and wits in a fight. Rather than wearing bulky armor; a duelist feels the best way to protect herself is not to get hit at all. Duelists are most often fighters or rangers, but almost as often rogues or bards. Wizards, sorcerers, and monks make surprisingly good duelists due to those classes’ lack of reliance on armor.

• Feats: Dodge, Mobility, Weapon Finesse.

• Precise Strike: At 5th level, the duelist’s skill and precision allows her to inflict much more grievous wounds than her weapon might suggest. Whenever the duelist attacks with a light or one-handed piercing weapon, she adds 1d6 to her damage. This bonus increases to 2d6 at 10th level.
• Flourish: A 6th-level duelist can make an impressive, flashy attack with a light or one-handed piercing weapon that catcher her foe off guard. This attack deals 2d6 additional points of piercing damage. There is no limit to the number of times per day the duelist may use this ability, but a 30-second “cool down” period is required between uses.

(PRESTIGE CLASS)

The dwarven defender is a sponsored champion of a dwarven cause, a dwarf aristocrat, a dwarven deity, or the dwarven way of life. As the name might imply, this character is a skilled combatant trained in the arts of defense. A line of dwarven defenders is a far better defense than a 10- foot-thick wall of stone, and much more dangerous. Most dwarven defenders are fighters, paladins, rangers, or clerics, although ex-barbarians, sorcerers, wizards, and druids can certainly all benefit from the defensive capabilities of this prestige class. Rogues, bards, and monks usually depend too heavily on mobility to use the abilities of the dwarven defender class to their fullest.

(PRESTIGE CLASS)

Studying the martial and arcane arts to equal degree, the eldritch knight is a versatile combatant who can cast a fireball on her foes or charge them with sword drawn. The eldritch knight takes pride in her ability to use the right technique for the job: spells against physically tough foes and force of arms against spellcasting enemies.

If a character has multiple arcane spellcasting classes when becoming an eldritch knight, he must choose which arcane spellcasting class will benefit from all levels of eldritch knight.

(PRESTIGE CLASS)

The random madness of the thunderstorm and the unpredictability of the slaadi come together in the soul of the frenzied berserker. Unlike most other characters, she does not fight to achieve some heroic goal or defeat a loathsome villain. Those are mere excuses – it is the thrill of combat that draws her. For the frenzied berserker, the insanity of battle is much like an addictive drug – she must constantly seek out more conflict to feed her craving for battle. Because of their traditional love for battle, barbarians are the ones who most frequently adopt this prestige class. Spellcasting characters almost never become frenzied berserkers.

Requirements:
• Alignment: Any nonlawful.
• Base Attack Bonus: +6.
• Feats: Cleave, Great Cleave, Power Attack.

Class Features:
• Hit Die: d12

• Supreme Cleave: At 2nd level, whenever the frenzied berserker drops an opponent in melee, he gains two cleave attacks against an adjacent foe instead of one.
• Improved Power Attack: At 5th level, when the frenzied berserker uses the Power Attack feat, he gains a +5 damage bonus instead of +3. when he uses Improved Power Attack, his damage bonus is +9 instead of +6. This ability does not change the penalties incurred on the attack roll (-3 and -6, respectively).
• Inspire Frenzy: Once per day at 6th level, the frenzied berserker may cause all of his allies to gain the effects of his frenzy ability. If the frenzied berserker has the greater frenzy ability, his companions gain the benefits of a greater frenzy as well.
• Greater Frenzy: At 7th level, the frenzied berserker gains a +10 bonus to Strength while frenzying instead of +6.
• Supreme Power Attack: At 10th level, when the frenzied berserker uses the Power Attack feat, he gains a +6 damage bonus instead of +3. when he uses Improved Power Attack, his damage bonus is +12 instead of +6. This ability does not change the penalties incurred on the attack roll (-3 and -6, respectively).

(PRESTIGE CLASS)

The Neverwinter Nine are part of a close circle of bodyguards that protect Lord Nasher and, to a greater extent, Neverwinter itself. The Neverwinter Nine are selfless wardens with powers to shield others from harm and react to danger with equal parts focus and fury. While bodyguards by title, the Neverwinter Nines’ abilities aren’t strictly defensive; they are trained to kill swiftly, not to endlessly absorb punishment until more help arrives. Members of the Nine come from all walks of life, though the job is most suited for fighters, rangers, paladins, rogues, and monks who have the necessary mix of martial prowess and combat reflexes.

Requirements:
• Base Attack Bonus: +6
• Special: Member of the Neverwinter Nine.

Class Features:
• Hit Die: d8

This bonus does NOT apply to the Nine, only to his allies. At 4th level, this bonus increases to +3 saving throws, +2 deflection bonus, and the protection extends to allies within 15 feet.
• Guarding the Lord: Beginning at 3rd level, the Nine can protect one selected ally within 30 feet. This protection acts as the shield other spell cast at the Nine’s character level. The only difference with the spell is that the target only takes 30% damage (instead of 50%), and the member of the Nine takes half the initial damage rounded down (instead of the remaining). This ability can be used three times per day.
• Frantic Reactions: At 3rd level, the Nine can rush across the battlefield and defeat the enemies plaguing his allies. This translates to a 10% increase in movement speed, +2 bonus to AC against attacks of opportunity provoked by movement and +2d6 sneak attack damage.
• All-Out Assault: At 5th level, the Nine can concentrate for a round and focus his strength making all of his melee attacks for the next three rounds inflict maximum damage. However, at the end of each of these three rounds, the Nine takes 10 points of damage from the incredible strain. This ability can be used once per day.

(PRESTIGE CLASS: This class is not available at character creation and must be unlocked by meeting special requirements, listed below.)
It is known that certain dragons can take humanoid form and even have humanoid lovers. Sometimes a child is born of this union, and every child of that child unto the thousandth generation claims a bit of dragon blood, be it ever so small. Usually, little comes of it, though mighty sorcerers occasionally credit their powers to draconic heritage. For some, however, dragon blood beckons irresistibly. These characters become dragon disciples, who use their magical power as a catalyst to ignite their dragon blood, realizing its fullest potential. Members of this prestige class draw on the potent blood of the dragon coursing in their veins. Dragon disciples may be of any alignment.
Requirements:
Skills: Lore 8 ranks.
Class: Assassin, Avenger, Bard, or Sorcerer.
Class Features:
Hit Die: d12
Base Attack Bonus: Medium.

Draconic Ability Scores: As the dragon disciple's oneness with his draconic blood increases, his ability scores improve significantly. At 2nd level, he gains a +2 to Strength. At 4th level, this bonus increases to +4. At 7th level, the dragon disciple gains a +2 to Constitution, and at 8th level he gains +2 Intelligence. Finally, at 10th level, he gains an additional +4 bonus to Strength (for a total of + and a +2 to Charisma.
Breath Weapon: At 3rd level, the dragon disciple gains the ability to breathe a cone of elemental energy dependent on their dragon choice that deals 2d10 points of damage to all creatures within its area. This damage increases to 4d10 at 7th level and 6d10 at 10th level. Targets may make a Reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 the dragon disciple's class level + the character's Charisma bonus). This ability may be used once per day.
Blind-Fight: At 5th level, the dragon disciple gains the ability to fight well, even if blinded or against invisible creatures. A character with this ability gets to reroll her miss chance percentile one time to see if she actually hits. Furthermore, invisible creatures get no bonus to hit the character in melee.
Half-Dragon: At 10th level, the dragon disciple's transformation is complete. He becomes a half-dragon, and gains darkvision as well as immunity to sleep, paralysis, and their dragon's breath weapon element.
Dragon Disciples choose which color dragon's blood flows through their veins.
Black, Green, and Copper dragon disciples deal Acid damage and gain Acid immunity. Blue and Bronze dragon disciples deal Lightning damage and gain Electrical immunity. White and Silver dragon disciples deal Cold damage and gain Cold immunity.

Weapon Master

(PRESTIGE CLASS)

For a weapon master, perfection is found in the mastery of a single melee weapon. A weapon master seeks to unite this weapon of choice with the body to make them one and to use the weapon as naturally and without thought as any other limb. Monks who follow this path may choose unarmed attacks as their weapon of choice.

Requirements:
• Base Attack Bonus: +5
• Feats: Weapon Focus in a melee weapon, Dodge, Mobility, Combat Expertise, Spring Attack, and Whirlwind Attack.
• Skills: Intimidate 4 or more ranks.

Class Features:
• Hit Die: d10
• Base Attack Bonus: High.
• High Saves: Reflex
• Weapon Proficiencies: None.
• Armor Proficiencies: None.
• Skill Points: 2 + Int modifier
• Class Skills: Craft Weapon, Discipline, Intimidate, Lore, Parry, and Taunt.
• Weapon of Choice: When a character acquires his first level of weapon master, he must select a single melee weapon type (for example, longsword or dwarven waraxe) as his weapon of choice. His weapon master abilities only function when he has a weapon of that type equipped.
• Ki Damage: Once per day a 1st-level weapon master may choose to make a special attack with his weapon of choice. If this attack hits, it automatically inflicts maximum damage.
• Increase Multiplier: At 5th level, the weapon master’s critical multiplier with his chosen weapon increases by +1. (i.e. x2 becomes x3, x3 becomes x4, etc.).
• Superior Weapon Focus: A 5th level weapon master gains Superior Weapon Focus with his weapon of choice as a bonus feat.
• Ki Critical: At 7th level, the weapon master increases his threat range by 2 when using his weapon of choice. For example, a longsword normally has a threat range of 19-20. In the hands of a 7th level weapon master, it threatens on a 17-20. This ability does not stack with the Improved Critical feat or with any spell or effect that increases a weapon’s threat range.

Sacred Fists are independent organizations found within many temples. Their ascetic members have turned their divine magic inward, bringing their bodies and wills into harmony. Sacred Fists have forsworn the use of weapons and heavy armor. They consider their bodies and minds gifts from their deity, and they believe that not developing those gifts to their fullest potential is a sin. Spellcasting does not dishonor them or their deity. Sacred Fists are strong in faith, will and body.
Clerics are excellent candidates for Sacred Fist orders. Paladins may also choose to join them, but are seldom comfortable surrendering the trappings of their calling. Fighters, rogues, bards and even ex-monks may make good candidates, provided they have enough levels in a class that grants divine spells. Druids occasionally find the class's combat skills useful, but sorcerers and wizards find little to interest them.

Sacred Fist Code of Conduct Edit
Sacred fists have vowed to refrain from using weapons. Whenever a sacred fist equips any weapon they suffer a -8 attack penalty.
Fast movement Edit
At level 3 a sacred fist gains a +10ft speed bonus. At level 6 this becomes +20ft, at 8th +30ft. Wearing medium or heavy armor or encumberance disables this bonus. If the sacred fist also has monk levels then the levels stack for the purpose of determining the speed bonus.
Sacred Fist fast movements works even in light armor, unlike Monk which only works in no armor (robes).
Spell progression Edit
When a new sacred fist level is gained, except at 4th and 8th level, the character gains new spells per day as if he had also gained a level in a divine spellcasting class he belonged to before adding the prestige class. He does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained, except for an increased effective level of spellcasting. If a character had more than one divine spellcasting class before becoming an sacred fist, he must decide to which class he adds the new level for purposes of determining spells per day.
Unarmed damage Edit
A sacred fist's unarmed damage follows the same progression as monk. If the sacred fist also has monk levels then the levels stack for the purpose of determining the damage.
Sacred flames Edit
At 4th level, a sacred fist may use a standard action to invoke sacred flames around his hands and feet. These flames add to the sacred fist's unarmed damage. The additional damage is equal to the sacred fist's class levelsplus his wisdom modifier (if any).
Half the damage is fire damage(rounded up), and the rest is sacred energy and thus not subject to effects that reduce fire damage. The sacred flame lasts for 1 minute and can be invoked once per day. At 8th level, sacred flames can be used twice per day.
Uncanny Dodge Edit
At 6th level, the Sacred Fist retains any Dexterity bonus to AC when flat-footed or when struck by an invisible attacker.
Inner armor Edit
At 10th level, a sacred fist may use inner armour once per day. This provides +4 sacred bonus to AC, +4 sacred bonus to all saves, 25 spell resistance for a number of rounds equal to his wisdom modifier.

When a 10th-level bladesinger makes a full attack with a longsword or rapier in one hand (and nothing in the other), she can make one extra attack in a round at her highest base attack bonus, but this attack and each other attack made in that round take a -2 penalty.

Champions of the Silver Flame are dedicated to fighting supernatural forces of evil and extraplanar threats. They are spiritual heroes who channel the power of the Silver Flame to ward off evil outsiders, destroy evil spirits, and smite the material forms of the forces of evil.

In order to become a champion of the wild, an initiate must excel in swordplay and exhibit patience, grace, and compassion. To take joy only in feat of arms is to live a crude and diminished life. There is more to life than fighting well, and the true champion knows this. Champions of the wild embody discipline and skill and relies on quickness, agility, and an almost scholarly study of the most difficult and advanced techniques of swordplay instead of brute power.

Dervish
PRESTIGE CLASS: This class is not available at character creation and must be unlocked by meeting special requirements, listed below.
Wild, exotic, and as dangerous as her whirling blades, the dervish epitomizes speed, quickness, and abandon. Her motions appear to be as random as they are graceful, but the steps of her lethal dance play out according to their own rhythm.
Nearly all dervishes belong to nomadic cultures. These nomads are not simple wanderers with no roots to call their own - they have their ancient traditions, and their societies simply do not consider permanent settlements an important part of their nature. They are gypsies, keeping their own traditions and forging their own familial and societal bonds while they move throughout the world. Often, these tribes adopt the attitudes and even some of the laws of the lands they live in - for the sake of expedience, if nothing else. The dervish treats fighting styles the same way. A dervish learns the dance of war as she grows up among her family and her tribe. She watches others as she travels, however, and brings new steps to the dance as she goes.
Fighters, rangers, and monks often take up the role of the dervish. Many paladins look at the wildness of the dance and assume it has some roots in chaos, but those who look past the seeming randomness can find things to learn. Barbarians seldom choose to learn the ways of the dance - the dervish depends on subtlety more than brute force. The way of the dervish has been known to appeal to some druids, bards, and even sorcerers - those who wish to learn a type of fighting that does not rely on heavy arms or armor find the class interesting.

Level 10: A Thousand Cuts
AC Bonus: At 1st level, a dervish gains a +1 dodge bonus to AC. This bonus improves to +2 at 5th level and +3 at 9th level.
A dervish gains this bonus to Armor Class as long as she is wearing no armor or light armor and not carrying a shield. She loses this bonus when she is immobilized or helpless, when she wears any armor heavier than light, when she carries a shield, or when she carries a medium or heavy load.
Dervish Dance: A dervish can become a whirling dancer of death a certain number of times per day. She gains a bonus on her attack and damage rolls; +1 at 1st level, and it increases by an extra +1 at every odd-numbered level thereafter.
A dervish may only perform a dervish dance while wielding a slashing weapon (she may use multiple weapons only if both weapons are of the slashing type). She cannot perform a dervish dance in any armor heavier than light or if she is using a shield.
A dervish dance lasts 1 round for every 2 ranks of Perform that the character has. At the end of a dervish dance, the character becomes fatigued for 1 minute (unless she is a 9th-level dervish, at which point this limitation no longer applies).
Fatigue causes a -2 penalty to Strength and Dexterity as well as a 10% movement speed reduction.
Dance of Death: At 4th level, a dervish gains the benefit of the Cleave feat while performing a dervish dance, even if she does not meet the prerequisites for the feat. At 10th level this improves to Great Cleave.
Defensive Parry: When she attains 7th level, a dervish gains an extra +4 bonus to Dodge Armor Class when she chooses to fight defensively (Combat Expertise or Improved Combat Expertise is activated).
Tireless Dance: When a dervish reaches 9th level, the character no longer becomes fatigued at the end of a dervish dance.
A Thousand Cuts: When a dervish reaches 10th level, once per day she gains a +2d6 slashing damage bonus on her attacks for 6 seconds.

Dragon warriors are dedicated warriors, members of special, self-selected class who revere dragon-kind and emulate dragons' ferocious martial abilities to the point of taking on some draconic traits.
Each dragon warrior is bound to a single dragon clan, of which there are ten. Five good dragon clans are each devoted to a kind of metallic dragon, and five evil dragon clans are each devoted to a kind of chromatic dragon. In time the fires of the clan dragon awakens within her.

Resistance to Energy: A dragon warrior gains resistance 5 against attacks involving the same energy types as the character's breath weapon (for example, acid for a green dragon warrior). At 5th level, the resistance improves to 10. At 7th level it improves to 15, and at 10th level it becomes 20.
Immune to Fear: Starting at 3rd level, a dragon warrior is immune to fear effects due their interaction with the great wyrms.

Thugs and cutthroats in every port lay claim to the title "pirate," but actually making a fortune through piracy is no easy task. A dread pirate, however, has mastered every aspect of larceny on the high seas.
Some dread pirates accomplish their goals through fear, killing indiscriminately and ruling their ships at rapier-point. Others minimize bloodshed and exhibit a curious sort of chivalry.
A dread pirate's lifestyle is ideal for most rogues, because the job requires a number of skills that other classes don't have the time or inclination to learn.

This is an instantly activated ability and lasts for 1 minute per class level. At 7th level, a dread pirate can use this ability twice per day, and the bonus increases to +2.
If a dread pirate has the inspire courage bardic music ability, he adds this bonus whenever he uses the inspire courage ability. For example, an 8th-level bard/3rd-level dread pirate would provide a +3 bonus on attack rolls and weapon damage rolls. Inspire Courage does not gain the benefit of the Fight to the Death ability.
Fight to the Death: At 9th level and higher, a dread pirate can inspire his allies to carry on against tremendous odds. Each ally affected by the dread pirate's rally the crew ability also gains temporary hit points equal to 10 + the dread pirate's Cha bonus (minimum 10), gains a dodge bonus to Armor Class equal to the dread pirate's Cha bonus (minimum +1), and gains a number of bonus hit points equal to their level. These bonuses last for 1 round per dread pirate level.

Elemental archers focus on channeling the elemental planes to supplement their combat prowess with ranged or thrown weapons. Through exhaustive training, elemental archers are capable of opening small rifts in one of the planes, infusing their attacks with elemental energy or shielding themselves from harm. These fearsome displays of raw elemental fury are rarely tolerated in most civilized lands which makes the class a perfect fit for the solitary Genasi though any race may become an elemental archer.
Druids and Rangers are the most likely characters to become elemental archers due to their ties to nature and the elements. It is not uncommon for Clerics and Favored Souls of a deity whose portfolio includes the elemental planes to follow the path as well. Those with a taste for the arcane and focus on elemental spells are also good candidates.

Level 4: Accurate Shot (+2)
Level 5: Elemental Shield (2m:30s cooldown) , Elemental Storm (5 minute cooldown)
All class abilities require that a ranged or thrown weapon be equipped for the ability to work.
Path of Elements: At first level, the elemental archer must choose one of the four elements they wish to channel. All following abilities will use this element for their energy type. Genasi gain a +2 elemental damage bonus with Elemental Shot if they choose the same element as their heritage (stacking with the bonus from elemental shot).
Elemental Shot: At first level, the elemental archer channels their chosen plane through their hands, causing their shots to strike with elemental damage. For each level of Elemental Archer, the player gains 1 point of elemental damage on each shot made. Genasi gain a +2 elemental damage bonus if they choose the same element as their heritage (stacking with the bonus from elemental shot).
Accurate Shot - At level 2 their accuracy at channeling the elements improves, granting them a +1 attack bonus. This bonus improves to +2 at level 4.
Elemental Shield - At 3rd level, the elemental archer is capable of directing their chosen elemental energy into a protective shield about them once every 5 minutes. They gain a damage shield of their element that also adds a shield AC bonus. The shield AC bonus is equal to half their class level (+3 at level 5) and the damage shield's damage is d4 + half their class level (d4 + 3 at 5th). It lasts for a number of rounds equal to their con bonus plus their class level. The elemental archer is able to use this shield more often once they achieve 5th level (every 2 minutes, 30 seconds).
Elemental Storm - Beginning at 5th level, an elemental archer can tap the raw fury of their native plane and direct it against a group of foes. You unleash a hail of attacks imbued with elemental damage in a 40' circle, dealing your weapon damage + 2d6 of your chosen element if you succeed with a ranged touch attack. You can affect up to 5 targets.
***
New Feats will be added for the Elemental Archer:
Improved Elemental Shield: The elemental shield adds an AC bonus equal to class level instead of half of their class level. The damage dealt improves to d4 + class level. Duration is doubled.

The elemental warrior sees that great strength comes from focusing on the most basic aspects of reality. The sages say that the worlds are formed through combinations of fire, water, earth, and air, and that any problem can be overcome with the correction application of these forces. The elemental warrior becomes attuned to one of these building blocks of reality, channeling its power to great effect.
Fighters, monks, paladins, and barbarians make the best elemental warriors. This prestige class is focused on fighting and applying the elements in just the right way to bring down even the toughest adversary. Bards, rogues, rangers, and druids also may find this class useful if they often find themselves involved in close combat; a few levels of elemental warrior give them access to a range of weapons and defenses that will make them much more versatile.

The bonus is applied to the character so works with all types of weapons.

New Feats: Extra Elemental Strike (adds 2 uses per day of Elemental Strike)

To be one with the wild, you must become wild yourself. It's only natural."
Though the two classes seem to have little in common, the paths of the monk and the barbarian often converge in the fist of the forest. Monks and other disciplined characters seek heightened connections with nature through a primal devotion to its defense. Barbarians and other wild characters seem to simply end up on this path if they are fated for it.

All around, screams of terror and shouts of fear erupt, as quaking hands draw blades to fight the masked murderer. His target dead, the ghost-faced killer walks calmly away as swords and fists pass harmlessly through his nearly transparent body.

If the victim succeeds, she is shaken for 1 round per class level; if she fails, she dies instantly of fear. Creatures immune to mind-affecting effects, immune to fear, or with hit dice that exceed the ghost-faced killer's character level are immune to this frightful attack.
In additional, all creatures within 30 feet who see the frightful attack become shaken for 1 round per class level. A successful Will save (DC 16 + ghost-faced killer's class level + Cha modifier) negates this effect.

Those they name as heretics or servants of evil call them zealots. Those they protect from darkness call them saviors and defenders of the truth. Whatever their label, shadowbane stalkers rank as some of the most feared individuals wherever they go.

PRESTIGE CLASS: This class is not available at character creation and must be unlocked by meeting special requirements, listed below. This class has 10 levels.
A Shining Blade is taught a focus on promoting good through the use of armed force. Those among their deity's followers, both clerics and paladins, who aspire to become weapons in their deity's unending war against evil hope one day to enter the shining blades. The shining blades is an order of knights dedicated to prowess in melee combat, which is achieved through prayer, devotion, and asceticism.
Most shining blades are clerics or paladins. Some members of the order believe that a minimum of training as a cleric, combined with the intense martial discipline of the fighter is ideal to achieve the goal the shining blades seek, while others follow a single class exclusively. Very few multiclass arcane spellcasters, rogues, or monks feel drawn to the shining blades.
Requirements:
Alignment: Lawful Good
Base Attack Bonus: +6
Spellcasting: Able to cast 1st level divine spells.
Skills: Lore 7 ranks.

Divine Spellcasting: At each even-numbered shining blade level, the character gains new spells per day (and spells known, if applicable) as if he had also gained a level in a divine spellcasting class to which he belonged before adding the prestige class level.
Shocking Blade: Twice per day as a standard action, a shining blade can cause a melee weapon he is holding to become a shock weapon, dealing an extra 1d6 points of electricity damage on a successful hit. The weapon is enchanced this way for up to a number of rounds equal to the shining blade's level plus his Charisma modifier (if any), but only so long as the shining blade is holding the weapon. This increases to 3 times/day at 3rd level, 4 times/day at 5th, 5 times/day at 7th, and 6 times/day at 9th.
Holy Blade:At 5th level, the shining blade can cause a melee weapon he is holding to become a holy weapon, dealing an extra 2d6 points of divine damage against evil on a successful hit. The weapon is enhanced this way for up to a number of rounds equal to the shining blade's level plus his Charisma modifier (if any). In a given combat a shining blade can spend one standard action to make his weapon holy and another to make it a shock weapon with Shocking Blade. Holy Blade shares the same number of uses/day as Shocking Blade.
At 9th level the Shocking Blade and Holy Blade abilities will also grant a +2 attack bonus. If both abilities are used on the same weapon the bonus will stack.

Tempest
PRESTIGE CLASS: This class is not available at character creation and must be unlocked by meeting special requirements, listed below. This class has 5 levels.
A tempest is the point of calm within a whirling barrier of deadly blades. Poets use colorful terms such as "dancing" to describe the movement of a tempest and her two blades, but mastery of this fighting style is not about dancing, nor is it about impressing anyone - least of all poets. A tempest focuses on learning the secrets of two-weapon fighting for a single purpose: the destruction of her enemies.

At level 4 the Attack bonus improves to +2. At level 5, the Dodge bonus improves to +3.
