[3.5] The Avatars of Magic [PEACH]
THE AVATARS OF MAGIC
The avatars of magic are creature that embody the various aspect of the magic of the world, some even they that they control it.
While powerful in their own right, the avatars are far inferior to gods and even to other legendary creature. This may seem strange for embodiment of a force such as magic and three proposed explanations exists to explain it. The first explanation is that their specialization in a particular sphere of magic and their inability to use any other type of magic make them weaker than other more versatile creature, the second explanation is that in reality the avatars share the same sources of power and as such each of them can only use a fraction of this source of power, the last explanation is that any creature that use a spell take energy from one of the avatar to do so and this constant drain limit their power.
The avatars are a neutral force, they rarely intervene in the affair of mortal. Their only task, as far as can be determined, is to protect and promote their respective aspect of magic. This mean that could for example try to kill a demon trying to take control of the source of magic or they could protect a young child that would one day create new spells.
An obscure legend said that if someone manage to kill all eight avatars and take their power, this person would become a new god of magic.

Avatar of Magic Lore:
Character who have ranks in Knowledge (arcana) or Knowledge (the planes) can learn more about Avatar of Magic. When a character make a successful skill check, the following lore is revealed, including the information from lower DCs.
{table=head]Knowledge (arcana) or (the planes) DC|Result
30|This is an Avatar of magics, an outsider and the master of one particular field of magic. It can cast any spells from his particular school and modify them in unique way.
35|This reveal all the Avatar immunity, its damage reduction and spell resistance.
40|This either reveal either all the special abilities of an avatar or only the special abilities common to all avatar if the check is made against the Avatar of magic in general
45|This reveal that when killed an avatar leave behind a unique and powerful magic gem. And that if one were to collect all the gem and use them during a special ritual one would become a god of magic.
[/table]
FAQ:
Why spell focus and greater spell focus for all avatar even though its useless for some of them ?
For two reasons, coherence, so that all the avatars have the same organization in their feats and because even if only one spell in a given school posses a saving throw then that one spell will be harder to resist because its cast by an avatar.
I'm not trying to optimize a character here, simply providing a monster that can be used to create a fun encounter for the players.
Why all the avatar have the same ability score ?
Because I want them all to share as many characteristic as possible, their only real difference come from the school.
Why so little fluff ?
Because I want the avatar to be easily inserted in a given game world, its for the DM to decide if he want to have each of them living in a personal demi-plane or all together in a secret fortress of the material, if he want them to cooperate or be bitter enemy. It's for the same reason that I provide no detail on the ritual to gain godhood by killing all the avatar, do you replace an existing god of magic, do you need to sacrifice something during the ritual, does it need to be done at a specific time, do you have a time limit before the avatar are reborn and the gem lose power ? It's for you to decide.
-----------------------------
I has taken me forever and a day but I did manage to finish this project. It was supposed to be a short project to relax me between way bigger one but it drag on much longer than planned. Anyway I hope you like them, I'm open to critic and welcome them, just read the faq first. In particular I like your opinion on the DR, I was hesitating between simply DR/magic or DR/magic and cold iron. For their CR just magic is nearly useless but DR magic and cold iron seem just a little too much.
Also do you think their CR is correct or it is too high ?

Re: [3.5] The Avatars of Magic [PEACH]
If every Avatar of Magic has Antimagic Weakness & Magic Bolt why not put them in the Subtype rather than adding them to each individually?
Other than that they look good personally I would use these in my game.

Excellent point I should edit it when I have the time, its because I add the avatar trait at the end mostly to prevent player from using the monster and to reinforced their uniqueness.
If you do end up using them could you give me some feedback ?
Re: [3.5] The Avatars of Magic [PEACH]
Man... now The-One-Who-Kills goes in the bag with the slay mate. A necromancer would give anything to possess it... anything.(+4 caster level! now zombies are a threat.)
Re: [3.5] The Avatars of Magic [PEACH]
Were you the one who was asking for help with this concept a while back?
Well, anyway, I just think that these look awesome. You could probably make a quest out of each and every one of these monsters, and tie them all together for an epic campaign. I think my favorite aspect are the custom magic items they have -- it's a pretty decent reward for a creature of this caliber.

Yes, but in theory possesing an avatar of magic should be impossible or nearly so. You'll need to be of epic level already or something and a sane DM probably wouldn't allow it even then. Still it might make for an interesting character goal.

Yes I was asking advice for the divination avatar.

Its my favorite part too. A slotless item that give a 3/day quicken 6th level spell to anyone seem like a fitting reward.
Thanks for all your comment.
EDIT: I've add the antimagic weakness, magic bolt and magical protection to the avatar trait and removed them from each avatar stat block.
Re: [3.5] The Avatars of Magic [PEACH]
See the symbol on my siggy pony butt? (if you look closely, this isnt a star with a 'leg' pointed down, its a Diamond shape, that has triangles coming from its lines, and from its bottom a triangle touches the corner)
It is the Avatar of Darkness symbol, The one who Taints/Somthing else that sound cooler.
it is about Summoning the servents of The Deity the person is the avatar of, and using its powers to destroy enemy.
Its not Destroying or Creating, its Changing anything.
Make it.
please?
I would love to Make an Avatar of Darkness charecter. that symbol means alot to me.
Re: [3.5] The Avatars of Magic [PEACH]
I like this, but I do one issue with it. One thing I don't like about sorcerers and wizards is that there's a limit on even the lowest level spells. Why can't a 20th level sorcerer cast Magic Missile all day, or even cantrips? Here we have the actual expressions of pure magic, so how can they "run out of juice"? Doesn't feel right to me. I don't think there should be a limit on 3rd, maybe 4th level spells and below.
Other than that, I love it. :smallsmile:
Re: [3.5] The Avatars of Magic [PEACH]
wait, why can't they be called with Gate? each of them are unique so they would get to chose whether they appeared or not and if they chose to appear they wouldn't even be controlled by the caster anyway.
Re: [3.5] The Avatars of Magic [PEACH]
I find your inabillity to use correct grammar disturbing.
Re: [3.5] The Avatars of Magic [PEACH]
They seem a little low in the health department. I understand they're spellcasters, and have numerous ways of avoiding getting hit, but still it seems like an ubercharger is just going to run in and smack it, and boom dead. And that DR/Magic is going to do absolutely nothing, and I understand it's flavorful, but past level 5 it means very little.

English isnt Zagan's first language. It was mentioned on one of his older homebrews.
I like these. They seem rather unique, and very interesting. I do agree with Primal Fury though. At the very least, at will 0th level spells would be very appropriate here. Finally, and it may just be the anime nerd in me, I would love to see a fusion of these into some ultimate being of magic. :smallbiggrin:

Sorry I can't I really don't have the time and in addition it has nothing to do with a school of magic. You could try refluffing the avatar of necromancy ?

I considered it, mainly for cantrip and first level spell, but realistically an encounter last what five round ? Assuming two spells per round with quicken spell with priority for the higest level spell, when the avatar will be killed or will have killed the party it will still be left with a few eight level spell, all seven level spell, most six level one (the other being quicken), most five level spells and all the rest.
So yeah giving them at will low level spell would be flavorfull but can hardly see it coming up in game.

My appology, like Sypher667 said english isn't my first language. I do the best I can and finding a reliable proofreader is far from easy.

Yeah I know and I ask about that just below the Faq, do you thinlk cold iron and magic would be better ?

I debate with the idea, but I spend so long on this little project that now I really want to homebrew something else. Particularly for the Prc contest so i won't have the time.
Anyway It would be an epic creature and I don't much like epic.
