Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A Child of Aphrodite is proficient with all simple weapons and light armor.

Presence: A Child of Aphrodite can call upon divine beauty and splendor, granting them great power in the heat of battle. Starting at 1st level, a Child of Aphrodite can use presence for a number of rounds per day equal to 4 + her Charisma modifier. At each level after 1st, they can use presence for 2 additional rounds. Temporary increases to Charisma, such as those gained from spells like eagle‘s splendor, do not increase the total number of rounds that a Child of Aphrodite can use their presence per day. A Child of Aphrodite can enter presence as a free action. The total number of rounds of presence per day is renewed after resting for 8 hours, although these hours do not need to be consecutive.

While in presence, a Child of Aphrodite gains a deflection bonus to AC and saves equal to their charisma modifier. A Child of Aphrodite can end her presence as a free action and is dazzled after presence for a number of rounds equal to 2 times the number of rounds spent in the presence. A Child of Aphrodite cannot enter a new presence while dazzled but can otherwise enter presence multiple times during a single encounter or combat. If a Child of Aphrodite falls unconscious, their presence immediately ends.

Aspect: At 2nd level and every even-numbered level thereafter, a Child of Aphrodite gains a new ability, selected from the list of Aspects. (see below). These aspects usually modify either the Child of Aphrodite’s Presence or Charmspeak abilities. Unless otherwise noted, you cannot select the same Aspect more than once, and you cannot change your aspects once selected.

Gift of Gab: A child of Aphrodite becomes extremely adept at a number of skills. At 2nd level, they gain a +2 competence bonus to Bluff, Diplomacy, Gather Information, and Sense Motive checks. This bonus increases by 2 at 6th level and every 4 levels thereafter.

Divine Beauty: At 4th level, a Child of Aphrodite’s divine heritage begins to show through. They gain a +2 enhancement bonus to charisma. This bonus is a supernatural effect, and does not function in an anti magic field or while magic is otherwise suppressed.

Charmspeak: A Child of Aphrodite particularly blessed by their divine parent can use Charmspeak, the power to speak and be obeyed. At 5th level, the Child of Aphrodite can use this ability three times a day, and gains an additional use of this ability at every odd-numbered level thereafter. This ability functions as a Suggestion spell, with a DC equal to 10 + ˝ your level + cha, and a caster level equal to your class level. This is the most basic use of the ability, but it can be modified with Aspects.

You may want to give out a (potentially weakened) version of dazing look/beguiling glance/charming prescence for free at first level, because it seems that Children of Aphrodite have absolutely nothing constructive to do at low levels without one of the three. Charmspeak should say it gains new uses at every odd level rather than every other level, just to head off potential ridiculous RAW arguments and save some poor DM somewhere some headache.

Good point, I guess I didn't really put much consideration toward low-level play, since I made these classes later into the game.

I'll fiddle with charmspeak's wording.
