Class Features
All of the following are class features of the chaos knight.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency
A chaos knight is proficient with all simple and martial weapons and with all armor (heavy, medium, and light) and shields (not including tower shields).

Chaos Mantle (Su)
Whenever the chaos knight enters a life threatening situation (such as combat), his mantle of chaos activates automatically, granting him new abilities based on his rolls on the Mantle table. The chaos knight rolls once on each table he has access to and gains to the indicated abilities for the duration of combat. The chaos knight may reroll a single one of these abilities as a swift action, or all of them as a standard action. In addition, the chaos knight may always substitute his Charisma modifier for his Dexterity modifier on armor class and his Wisdom modifier on will saves. All Chaos Mantle bonuses stack with other bonuses. His current Chaos Mantle disappears every time the life threatening situation ends.

The Chaos Bolt may target any creature the chaos knight can accurately perceive, and flies unerringly to the target. For each chaos bolt, roll on the table below; it has that effect on the target. One caveat though; attacks of opportunity traded in must target the creature that provoked the attack.

Fighting Style (Ex)
At 1st level, the chaos knight chooses between a two-weapon fighting style or a ranged style. He then gains bonuses related to these styles at 1st, 5th, 8th, and 14th level. If one of the bonuses he gains is a feat he already has, he gains a bonus feat of his choice instead.

Two-Weapon Fighting Style
At 1st level, the chaos knight gains Two-Weapon Fighting as a bonus feat even if he doesn't meet the prerequisites.

At 5th level, the chaos knight gains Improved Shield Bash as a bonus feat.

At 8th level, the chaos knight gains Improved Two-Weapon Fighting as a bonus feat even if he doesn't meet the prerequisites.

At 14th level, the chaos knight gains Greater Two-Weapon Fighting as a bonus feat even if he doesn't meet the prerequisites.

Ranged Style
At 1st level, the chaos knight may apply his Charisma modifier to the damage of any ranged attack he makes.

At 5th level, the chaos knight gains Rapid Shot as a bonus feat even if he doesn't meet the prerequisites.

At 8th level, the chaos knight gains Manyshot as a bonus feat even if he doesn't meet the prerequisites.

At 14th level, the chaos knight may fire an additional chaos bolt for every two attacks he trades to chaos knight ability. For example, if the chaos knight exchanges two attacks to fire two chaos bolts, he may fire a third chaos bolt as well.

Scattered Mind (Ex)
At 2nd level, the chaos knight becomes immune to charm and compulsion type effects.

Chaos Lightning (Su)
At 7th level, the chaos knight gains the ability to project a stream of strange lightning from his hands in a line 5 feet by 5 feet by 120 feet. He may do this either as a full round action or by exchanging four attacks from an attack action. Any creature struck by the line takes a number of d6 in damage equal to the number of chaos mantles the chaos knight has plus the chaos knight's Charisma bonus. In addition, any creature struck by the line takes the effect of a Chaos Bolt. If the creature makes a Reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 chaos knight levels + Charisma modifier), they take half damage and avoid the effect of the Chaos Bolt entirely.

Chaos Chain Lightning (Su)
At 11th level, the chaos knight gains the ability to control the direction of their Chaos Lightning. He may choose up to three targets within 120 feet and apply the effects of Chaos Lightning to them, reflex save included. He may do this either as a full round action or by exchanging four attacks from an attack action.

Chaos Bomb (Su)
At 16th level, the chaos knight gains the ability to deploy maelstroms of chaotic power. As a full round action, he may create a 40 foot radius sphere. Everyone within that sphere is affected as if they were struck by three Chaos Bolts. If an individual makes a will save (DC 10 + 1/2 chaos knight level + Charisma modifier), they are only struck by one Chaos Bolt.

Chaos Rift (Su)
At 20th level, the chaos knight reaches the apex of his chaotic power. As a full round action once per encounter, the chaos knight can create a 30 foot radius burst. All creatures within must make a will save (DC 20 + Charisma modifier); those that fail are immediately ejected to a random extra-planar space (possibly of the DM's choosing) and cannot return to the plane they were evicted from for 24 hours.

The idea here was to create a meleeish class that would hit tier three with a lot of inherent randomness; I think it may have a fallen a bit short of that, power wise. There might also be some issues with ambiguity in how abilities can be read; I'd like to fix those, if possible.
