Beguiler's Grace (Ex): A Beguiler is as clever and elusive as she is alluring and graceful. As long as she wears no armor and carries no visible weapon or shield, enemies that wish to attack her, target her with a harmful ability or spell, or include within the area of a harmful ability or spell must first succeed on a Will save (DC 10+1/2 Beguiler level+Charisma modifier). A failed save does not waste an enemy's action, but forces it to attack or attempt to harm another creature for 1 round.
Sirensong (Sp): A Beguiler may use the Perform skill in place of the Bluff skill and vice versa. Additionally, she is trained to use either skill to create magical effects on those around her. For a number of rounds each day equal to two times the total of her Charisma modifier + her class level, she may produce a variety of effects, based on her class level. A Beguiler may have any number of Sirensong effects active at one time, but each requires separate activations and each consumes 1 round from her total rounds per day while she maintains the effects.
Activating Sirensong is a standard action which provokes attacks of opportunity when starting the ability, but it may be maintained as a free action each round. A Sirensong requires the Beguiler to be able to complete verbal and somatic gestures, and though it cannot be disrupted like spells can, it will automatically end anytime the Sirensong is made incapable of completing verbal or somatic gestures or otherwise prevented from taking a free action to maintain it each round.
To be affected by a Beguiler's Sirensong, her targets must be able to both see and hear her. However, the ability is not language-dependent. Likewise, a deaf or blind Beguiler has a chance to fail when attempting her Sirensong, equal to 20% failure chance for suffering one of those conditions and 50% failure chance for suffering both. This failure chance applies when she is starting her Sirensong and each round she tries to maintain the effect.
- Distraction - A 1st level Beguiler is able to counter magic effects that rely on sight or sound (but not spells with verbal components). Each round of the distraction, including the first, she makes a Bluff or Perform check. Any creature within 30ft of the Beguiler that is affected by an illusion (figment) or illusion (pattern) effect, or by a sonic or language-dependent effect may use the Beguiler's skill check result instead of rolling a saving throw. If a creature within range of the distraction is already under the effect of a noninstantaneous effect among the ones listed above it gains another saving throw each round the Beguiler maintains the effect, but it must use the skill check result for the save. Distraction does not apply to effects that do not allow a save.
- Fascinate - A 1st level Beguiler is able to capture the attention of one or more creatures. When the Beguiler starts her Sirensong, she makes a single Bluff or Perform check against DC 15. If she succeeds she draws the attention of a single creature within 90ft. For each 5 points she beats the check DC she may choose to draw the attention of another creature within 90ft, or to increase the save DC of this effect by 1. Creatures targeted by the Beguiler must succeed on a Will save (10+1/2 Beguiler level+Charisma modifier) or become Fascinated as long as the Beguiler maintains her Sirensong. Any creature for which this effect is ended or resisted, whether by a successful saving throw, an obvious threat, or being shaken free, is immune to it for 24 hours. This is an enchantment (compulsion), mind-affecting ability.
- Suggestion - At 6th level, a Beguiler develops the ability to create suggestions in the mind of a fascinated creature. She must be maintaining Fascinate in order to activate this ability (a standard action as normal) and she must target a single Fascinated creature. The targeted creature must succeed on a Will save equal to the save DC of the Beguiler's Fascinate effect to resist a Suggestion effect as the spell.
- Lay Quest - At 12th level, a Beguiler develops the ability to place a magical command upon a fascinated creature. She must be maintaining Fascinate in order to activate this ability (a standard action as normal) and she must target a single Fascinated creature. The target creature must succeed on a Will save equal to the save DC of the Beguiler's Fascinate effect to resist a Lesser Geas effect as the spell, except that there is no limit to the ability score penalties bestowed, Remove Curse cannot remove the effect, and Break Enchantment may only remove the effect if its caster level is at least two higher than your caster level
- Unto the Masses - At 18th level, a Beguiler not only quadruples the potential affected areas of her Distraction and Fascinate abilities (increasing them to 120ft and 360ft respectively) she is able to use her Suggestion or Lay Quest abilities on multiple creatures at a time. When she activates her Suggestion ability, by consuming two rounds of Sirensong instead of merely one she may target a number of Fascinated creatures up to her Charisma modifier. When she activates her Lay Quest ability, by consuming four rounds of Sirensong instead of merely one she may target a number of Fascinated creatures up to her Charisma modifier.
Cloaked Casting (Sp): Starting at 2nd level, whenever a Beguiler's spells become more effective when cast against an unwary foe. When she casts a spell against a creature that is denied it's Dexterity bonus to AC (whether it has a bonus or not), the Beguiler gains a +2 bonus to the spell's save DC.
Beginning at 8th level, the Beguiler ignores Spell Resistance against such creatures.
At 14th level, the bonus to save DCs increases to +4.
At 20th level, such creatures do not receive a saving throw against the Beguiler's spells.
Advanced Learning (Ex): At 3rd level and every four levels thereafter, Beguilers add a new spell to their spell list, representing the result of personal experimentation and study. The spell must be a Sorc/Wiz spell of the enchantment or illusion schools and of a level no higher than the highest spell you already know.
