CRYSTAL PUMPKIN TECHNICIAN


Picture by *GENZOMAN from Deviantart

"With but this pumpkin of mine, I will show you the darkest secrets of the mind."

You remember long ago, when you were just a child? The creaking floors, the chasing shadows, the eyes in the dark? The black cats, the flocks of bats, and the smiling pumpkins? The sweat dripping from your face as you awoke from the nightmare, gasping for air as you tell yourself it was just a dream?

You're nightmare was more than a dream.

In the deep recesses of our brains, there are things not meant to be known by man. A place were our darkest thoughts and the things of our horrid imaginations stay. And yet we never realize this place exists, let alone actually explore it.

However, there are a few with a strong mind who learn to tap into this dark place, and bring it to life. Now normally, something like this would be very straining, let alone the shock to the brain. But thanks to new technologies, a a crystal to channel your powers through, this feat actually become feasible........ As long as you are careful.

Don't let the nightmares eat you.

Weapon Proficiencies: A Crystal Pumpkin Technician does not gain any weapon or armor proficiency.

Pumpkin Psycrystal(Su): Because of your new-found powers, your Psycrystal becomes warped, eventually becoming the form a small, floating pumpkin, although the exact details are left up to the player. Any bonuses granted from the Psycrystal's personality are doubled. Furthermore, your Psycrystal is always treated as being tied to your YGGD 101: Intro to Yggdratecture, which you, and only you, can access by putting your hand through your Psycrystal. This space may not hold normal items, however, many of your later class abilities will take advantage of this space. This space instead acts as a storage for the nightmares inside your brain, and serves as a way for you to grasp and use them.

Little Ones of the Nightmares(Su):Right now your grasp of the nightmares is weak. By reaching into your extradimensional space in your Psycrystal, you may pull out a small animal, just like a bag of tricks. However, you may only draw a bat, cat, or rat (chosen at the time of drawing), and you may draw out a number of animals per day equal to your class levels plus your Intelligence modifier. However, these animals are warped versions of their normal selves, and can easily be distinguished from normal animals. This otherwise functions as a bag of tricks.

Nightmare Blast(Su): But just because your grasp is weak, doesn't mean you cannot augment your powers with you nightmarish strength. Whenever you use your Eldritch Blast, you may spend a power point to tap into the nightmares of your Psycrystal, and unleash a wave of bats, cats, and rats. All damage from your Eldritch Blast is converted into slashing, bludgeoning, and piercing damage from the animals as they ram, bite, and claw at your target. Furthermore, the foe must make a Will save (DC 10 + Class levels + Intelligence Modifier) or become shaken for 1d4 rounds. This ability does not stack with itself, however a second use of this ability lengthens the duration of the effect by 1d4 rounds, as long as the foes fails it's Will save again.

Pumpkin Bombs(Su): As your powers grow, so does the number of nightmarish items you have access to. You may now draw Pumpkin Bombs from you Psycrystal as a free action. Theses bombs act as throw weapons, deal 1d8 plus per two class levels, and damaging all within a 10ft burst. Foes are entitled to a Reflex save (DC= 10 + Class levels + Intelligence modifier). This item has a range increment of 30ft.

Nightmares of My Mind(Su): People don't want to look into your mind. They just DON'T. Anytime you are the target of a mind-affecting or compulsion ability, the caster must make a Will save (DC 10 + Class levels + Intelligence modifier) or become shaken for 5 rounds, as the catch a glimpse of where your powers truly originate from.

Haunting Flux(Su): Your nightmares start having an effect on your principles too. They just seem dark, and twisted. Furthermore, any area they affect becomes...... Different. As if everything there was out to get you. All foes within the flux of any principle created by you must make a Will save or become shaken for 5 rounds. A Will save (DC=10 + Class levels + Intelligence modifier) negates this effect. The area of the flux affected by this cannot exceed 10ft plus 5ft per two class levels.

Dimension of the Darkness(Su): Why not show the enemies the madness that is your nightmares? You may expend one of your uses of
Little Ones of the Nightmare, and 5 power points to cause many bats, cats, and rats to rush out of your Psycrystal, and for the area to become darker. All area within 20ft of yourself becomes shadowy illumination, or stays dark if it was already darkness. Furthermore, the animals from your psycrystal seem to be stalking, staring, and otherwise disturbing enemies within the area, putting your foes on edge. All foes within the area become destracted
