The better man? There is no such thing [base class]

[Moonwolf727]

Is the caster level from the spell-like abilities enough to qualify for feats that require a specific arcane caster level? Like Obtain Familiar, for example.

Thanks in advance~

Complete Arcane has the hard rules for that on pages 71 and 72. The answer is yes.

Ho man! I haven't been around GITP in ages, and I stumble on back in here and I find this beautiful piece of Homebrew. I think I'm definitely going to be applying this to something in the campaign I'm running.

You did an excellent job on this.

So it's not really an evolutioniost prc, but it has something to do with it and I guess I should have asked before brewing, but anyways....

Biomancer a biollurgy focused grammarist PrC.

[AmberVael]

So I noticed that the Undead mutations Negaton Shield and Turn Resistance give very little, and yet they don't have any listing for further mutations. It frankly looks like you should be able to stack them, but as it stands you can't. Is that intentional?

The "-" entry means that there are no special rules about buying them repeatedly. Mutation-granted benefits always stack.

Is there any way to have multiple ascendancies AND get all the benefits of each, like a feat or something.

There is not. The ascendancy is supposed to be a unique choice.

Otherwise I'd divide as evenly as you can the options and homebrew the gaps if you absolutely must be a made-up creature type hybrid.

[Obscurejones]

The karish companion feature mentions only vermin, while the template also mentions oozes. Can oozes be chosen for a companion, or are they only included for the purpose of possibly non companion karish monsters?

I was thinking, why is there no outsider PrC that turns you into a Hellfire engine with good social skills? And so I whipped this up. It's a work in progress, but it's a nice and simple 10 level PrC of molten Hellfire.

Hellfire Scion

Many of those who embark on the road of the Evolutionist do not know what secrets they can find along the way, what horrors and wonders they will become. Some seek their power among the outer planes, realms of extremes, realms of myths and legends, far less solid then the material world.

But a few try and emulate the lower planes and its denizens. Often they merely see the power they wield, the might they command, and desire it for themselves. And so they mimic it, making themselves shadows of demons and devils, trying to tap into their power.

A few have the misfortune to succeed.

With molten hellfire roaring in their veins, few survive the trials that await them, utterly consumed by the power they thought to master. But a small few manage to harness it. These few Hellfire Scions are no longer truly mortal, but not yet fully diabolic. They exist in between both worlds, a bridge between worlds.

Creatures immune to mind-affecting are not immune to mind-affecting abilities from the Hellfire Scion, though they do gain a +4 bonus to their saves against such effects.

Hellfire Perfection; As the fires of Hell burn almost unchecked through your body, you transcend the limits of mortality. Your essence burns eternal, bound to the molten heart of hell, and your death is temporary, for like a phoenix made of pure Hellfire, you return in time.

The Autopilot

Spoiler

Show

"I still don’t get what is creepy about telling you guys to get inside me."

Autopilots were originally created as living weapons by the Xendrik in secret, but soon spies traded this knowledge to the other races. This combined with the fact that autopilot capabilities are sometimes passed onto children has lead to a fair amount of non-military autopilots.

Most autopilots aren't even aware of their supernatural power to generate a chassis around themselves, leading to dangerous results when it first manifests.

Game Rule Information
Alignment: Any
Hit Die: d10
Skill Points at 1st Level: (6 + Int modifier) x 4
Skill Points at Each Additional Level: 6 + Int modifier

Class Skills: The autopilot’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Acrobatics (Dex), Bluff (Cha), Climb (Str), Control Shape (Wis), Craft (Int), Disable Device (Dex), Fly (Dex), Intimidate (Cha), Perception (Wis), Profession (Wis), Ride (Dex), Sense Motive (Wis), Stealth (Dex), and Swim (Str).

[/table]

All of the following are class features of the Autopilot.

Weapon and Armour Proficiencies: Autopilots are proficient with all simple and improvised weapons. They are proficient with all light armour.

Chassis Rage (Su): Whenever committing an act of self-harm you activate the primal urges in your flesh to create yourself an avatar of destruction from biostructure. Such an act generally takes a standard action to accomplish and must deal at least one point of lethal damage.

After the action of self-harm, the flesh and bone grows out from the Autopilot, increasing his size one step, gaining a +2 size bonus to Strength and Constitution, a -2 size penalty to Dexterity (to a minimum of 1), and a -1 penalty on attack rolls and AC.

If insufficient room is available for the desired growth, the Autopilot attains the maximum possible size and may make a Strength check (using its increased Strength) to burst any enclosures in the process. If it fails, it is constrained without harm by the materials enclosing it.

You can remain in Chassis Form without difficultly for a number of rounds equal to your class level, at this end of this time you must make a will save to maintain it (DC 5 per previous will save), though when making this will save you may also add your autopilot level. If you succeed, you remain in chassis form for a number of rounds equal to your class level, at the end of which you must make another save. If you fail, you exit chassis form. You may exit your chassis form early as a full-round action.

After a Chassis Rage, the Autopilot is Fatigued for a number of rounds equal to the number of rounds he was in Chassis Rage for. An Autopilot cannot enter a new chassis rage while fatigued or exhausted but can otherwise enter chassis rage multiple times during a single encounter or combat.

If an autopilot falls unconscious while raging, his chassis rage doesn't end.

Monster in Mortal Clothing (Ex): Your biostructurally tainted nature gives you the traits of abominations. You regain triple the amount of hit points from natural healing, Heal checks, and Heal check based ability than you otherwise would. In addition, you can be healed with the Craft skill as an object.

Repair Mode (Su): As a full-round action, you can enter an alternate method of chassis rage. Repair mode functions as normal except the autopilot can't take any actions aside from a full-round action to leave chassis form, and the chassis rage lasts till the Autopilot chooses for it to end.

In addition others may modify it by preparing principles on it, attaching grafts, or anything similar. If they try to change your chassis form in a way that you do not want, you may make opposed will saves against the person modifying your avatar to resist said change. When you leave repair mode these modifications are set to your chassis form, meaning that they disappear when you are in your natural form but reactivate whenever you enter chassis rage or repair mode.

Mutations: At every level past first, the Autopilot can select three mutations that his Chassis Rage form meets the prerequisites of. The autopilot gains those mutations, but only when in chassis rage. The autopilot has a mutator level equal to one less than his class level.

Mutations can be found here.

Puissance Reserve (Su): An autopilot can function as a battery for Puissance, and can store a number of ebbs inside it's body up to half it's class level. At 8th and 18th level, this amount of storage doubles.

Uncanny Dodge (Ex): At 2nd level, an Autopilot gains the ability to react to danger before his senses would normally allow him to do so. He cannot be caught flat-footed, even if the attacker is invisible. He still loses her Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized. An Autopilot with this ability can still lose his Dexterity bonus to AC if an opponent successfully uses the feint action against him.

If an Autopilot already has uncanny dodge from a different class he automatically gains improved uncanny dodge (see below) instead

Determinator (Ex): A third level Autopilot is an monster that runs on instinct rather than insight, but despite this they are determined strong willed individuals. An autopilot may use their charisma modifier to determine their will save rather than wisdom.

At ninth level, this determination improves further, gaining a morale bonus to all saves and his armour class equal to his charisma modifier.

At fifteenth level, an autopilots determination is powerful enough to keep him alive when others would have fallen, granting him temporary hit points equal to his charisma score which is restored at the start of each day, and whenever he enters chassis rage.

Personalized Chassis: At fourth level and every four levels thereafter, the Autopilot can pick a benefit from a Personalized Chassis, as long as it’s level is equal to or lower than the personalized chassis stage you are and you meet it’s prerequisites. These are identical to Teratomorphs, except it has additional options.

Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex): At 5th level and higher, an Autopilot can no longer be flanked. This defence denies a rogue the ability to sneak attack the autopilot by flanking him, unless the attacker has at least four more rogue levels than the target has autopilot levels.

If a character already has uncanny dodge (see above) from another class, the levels from the classes that grant uncanny dodge stack to determine the minimum rogue level required to flank the character.

Hardness: Being able to manipulate the biostructure that forms their body, at 6th level the autopilot gains hardness as if an object. His hardness is equal to half of his class level.

Fast Healing (Su): You have learnt how to produce biostructure in small amounts to restore your body. At seventh level, an Autopilot gains Fast Healing equal to half your hardness (rounded down). This stacks with any other form of fast healing.

Copilot (Su): Slowly over time programming starts to bleed into your mind as you transform more and more. Upon reaching 10th level, the eldritch intelligence sealed inside your flesh awakens. This copilot has 10 in each of the mental stats, though no other statistics. Having this EI grants you an additional standard action each round, but it can only be used for mental actions.

In addition, whenever you would lose your intelligence and wisdom scores, you may let the copilot take control of your body in your place, though you lose the additional standard action. An autopilot and his copilot can communicate with each other telepathically.

Restored Flesh: You can create a giant body from biostructure, so why can’t you grow your legs back as well. At eleventh level, whenever you enter or leave Chassis Rage you regrow any limbs or body parts you have lost (such as bitten of legs or eyes which were cut out).

Eldritch Focus (Su): With some time, you learn how to use the voice in your head to improve your capabilities. At 13th level, as standard action you can make your EI stop granting additional metal actions in return for one of the below benefits. After having the benefit for at least one full-round, benefit can be changed to a different benefit or return to gaining an additional mental action each turn.

Databank: You gain an insight bonus to knowledge checks equal to half your level.
Hazard Detection: You immediately detect any volatile substances that you can sense. In regards to this ability, a volatile substance is anything that easy explode or ignite (such as oil or alchemist fire), or would deal a form of energy damage if you came in contact with it (such as acid).
Maneuver Prediction: Once per round as a free action, you don't provoke an attack of opportunity when you otherwise would.
Targeting Assistance: You gain an insight bonus to attack rolls equal to half your class level.

Networked (Ex): At 14th level the autopilot can direct puissance through your body as if circuit. You can direct ebbs from your puissance reserve to any one gramaric device that is part of your body, as an attack action.

Tireless Transformation: An autopilot of seventeenth level isn't anywhere near as tired from transformations as they normally would, only being fatigued for a number of rounds equal to a tenth of the rounds you were in chassis form.

True Monster (Ex): Upon reaching 20th level, you become a true monster. By default you are in chassis form, with the self-inflicted wounds and limited duration instead turning you into your “natural” non-chassis form.

Personal Chassis’s Additional Teratomorphs

Personal Chassis 1

• Cockpit: Your internal body structure warps and shifts to allow for someone to enter and manipulate your body. This acts as the cockpit described in the Artificial Fleshshape discovery, except that you do not lose your intelligence score, and the DC to control your body is removed unless you are resisting the command of the pilot. If you are resisting the control of your pilot the DC for them piloting you that round changes to your Will Save modifier + 10.
• Enduring Autonomy 1: You can use Enduring Autonomy 1 as a full-round action. For the next ten minutes, you repeat your actions from last round. For the purposes of your Chassis Rage duration these 10 minutes count as one round.

"I still don’t get what is creepy about telling you guys to get inside me."

Autopilots are individuals who are innately in touch with the nature of biostructure, but it manifests in a very different way to the similar anabolist. While the anabolist can convert corpses into biostructure and create armies of chassi, the autopilot is more focused on personal manipulation of biostructure, forming immense amounts of biostructure out of determination and rage and using it as a body.

All of the following are class features of the Autopilot.

Weapon and Armour Proficiencies: Autopilots are proficient with all simple and improvised weapons. They are proficient with all light armour.

Chassis Rage (Su): By committing an act of self-harm you can activate the primal urges in your flesh to create yourself an avatar of destruction from biostructure. Such an act generally takes a standard action to accomplish, and must deal at least one point of lethal damage.

After the action of self-harm, the flesh and bone grows of from the Autopilot, increasing his size one step, gaining a +2 size bonus to Strength and Constitution, a -2 size penalty to Dexterity (to a minimum of 1), and a -1 penalty on attack rolls and AC.

If insufficient room is available for the desired growth, the Autopilot attains the maximum possible size and may make a Strength check (using its increased Strength) to burst any enclosures in the process. If it fails, it is constrained without harm by the materials enclosing it.

When entering Chassis Rage you must make a will save (DC 15 + ½ Class Level) or have your intelligence score lowered to 3 for the duration of the Chassis rage and be unable to stop the chassis rage willingly (cannot make the full-round action to end it and you must attempt to make the will saves to stay in the Chassis Rage). By choosing a goal when you enter Chassis Rage you gain a +10 bonus to this will save, but as soon as you accomplish that goal or stop trying to actively achieve it you have to make the save again at a -5 penalty (without that previous +10 bonus obviously).

You can remain in Chassis Rage without difficultly for a number of rounds equal to your class level, at this end of this time you must make a Will Save each round to maintain it (DC 10 + the Number of Rounds you have been in the Chassis Rage for past your class level). A Chassis Rage can be ended early willing as a full-round action, unless you failed the will save at the start of the Rage.

After a Chassis Rage, the Autopilot is Fatigued for a number of rounds equal to triple the number of rounds he was in Chassis Rage for. An Autopilot cannot enter a new chassis rage while fatigued or exhausted but can otherwise enter chassis rage multiple times during a single encounter or combat. If an autopilot falls unconscious, his chassis rage doesn’t end instead acting as though he failed the will save to maintain your mind, lowering his intelligence score accordingly and forcing him to remain in the chassis rage for as long as it can manage.

Monster in Mortal Clothing (Ex): Your biostructurally tainted nature gives you the traits of abominations. You regain triple the amount of hit points from natural healing, Heal checks, and Heal check based ability than you otherwise would. In addition if your type is humanoid then it changes to Aberration.

Mutations: At every level past first, the Autopilot can select three mutations that his Chassis Rage form meets the prerequisites of. The autopilot gains those mutations, but only when in chassis rage. The autopilot has a mutator level equal to one less than his class level.

Uncanny Dodge (Ex): At 2nd level, an Autopilot gains the ability to react to danger before his senses would normally allow him to do so. He cannot be caught flat-footed, even if the attacker is invisible. He still loses her Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized. An Autopilot with this ability can still lose his Dexterity bonus to AC if an opponent successfully uses the feint action against him.

If an Autopilot already has uncanny dodge from a different class he automatically gains improved uncanny dodge (see below) instead

Determinator (Ex): A third level Autopilot is an monster that runs on instinct rather than insight, but despite this they are determined strong willed individuals. An autopilot may use their charisma modifier to determine their will save rather than wisdom.

At ninth level, this determination improves further, gaining a morale bonus to all saves and his armour class equal to his charisma modifier.

At fifteenth level, an autopilots determination is powerful enough to keep him alive when others would have fallen, granting him temporary hit points equal to his charisma score which is restored at the start of each day, and whenever he enters chassis rage.

Personalized Chassis: At fourth level and every four levels thereafter, the Autopilot can pick a benefit from a Personalized Chassis, as long as it’s level is equal to or lower than the personalized chassis stage you are and you meet it’s prerequisites. These are identical to Teratomorphs, except it has additional options.

Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex): At 5th level and higher, an Autopilot can no longer be flanked. This defence denies a rogue the ability to sneak attack the autopilot by flanking him, unless the attacker has at least four more rogue levels than the target has autopilot levels.

If a character already has uncanny dodge (see above) from another class, the levels from the classes that grant uncanny dodge stack to determine the minimum rogue level required to flank the character.

Fast Healing (Su): You have learnt how to produce biostructure in small amounts to restore your body. At sixth level, an Autopilot gains Fast Healing equal to a third of his class level. This stacks with any other form of fast healing.

Damage Reduction: Through quick healing of their flesh, an Autopilot can weaken the effects of an attack. At 7th level he gains Damage Reduction 1/-, this damage reduction increases by 1 every three levels thereafter. This damage reduction can be made to stack or overlap with other damage reduction you possess as a full-round action, though if it is stacking it gains the bypass method of the damage reduction it is stacking with.

Restored Flesh: You can create a giant body from biostructure, so why can’t you grow your legs back as well. At eleventh level, whenever you enter or leave Chassis Rage you regrow any limbs or body parts you have lost (such as bitten of legs or eyes which were cut out).

True Monster (Ex): Upon reaching 20th level, you become a true monster. By default you are in Chassis Form, with the self-inflicted wounds and limited duration instead turning you into your “natural” non-chassis form.

Personal Chassis’s Additional Teratomorphs

Spoiler

Show

Personal Chassis 1

• Cockpit: Your internal body structure warps and shifts to allow for someone to enter and manipulate your body. This acts as the cockpit described in the Artificial Fleshshape discovery, except that you do not lose your intelligence score, and the DC to control your body is removed unless you are resisting the command of the pilot. If you are resisting the control of your pilot the DC for them piloting you that round changes to your Will Save modifier + 10.
• Enduring Autonomy 1: You can use Enduring Autonomy 1 as a full-round action. For the next ten minutes, you repeat your actions from last round. For the purposes of your Chassis Rage duration these 10 minutes count as one round.
• Grafts 1: Select two level one grafts when you select this Personalized Chassis. You gain the benefits of these grafts, and they do not take up a true body slot.
• Hardness 1: You gain 5 hardness.

Personal Chassis 2

• Grafts 2: Select two level two or lower grafts when you select this Personalized Chassis. You gain the benefits of these grafts, and they do not take up a true body slot.
• Interior: You are effected by BIOY 234's Hollow feature, except you don't have a cockpit. You can choose to grow or remove a 5 ft. cube of cockpit as a full-round action if you have the Cockpit Personal Chassis. You must be at least huge in size when in Chassis Rage to take this.

Personal Chassis 3

• Enduring Autonomy 2: You can use Enduring Autonomy 2 as a full-round action. For the next hour, you repeat your actions from last round. For the purposes of your Chassis Rage duration this hour counts as one round. To select this Personalized Chassis you must have Enduring Autonomy 1, though this personalized chassis doesn't replace it.
• Grafts: Select two level three or lower grafts when you select this Personalized Chassis. You gain the benefits of these grafts, and they do not take up a true body slot.
• Hardness 2: Your hardness increases to 10. You must have Hardness 1 to take this Personal Chassis.

Personal Chassis 4

• Grafts: Select two level four or lower grafts when you select this Personalized Chassis. You gain the benefits of these grafts, and they do not take up a true body slot.
• Wetware: Biostructure objects joined with your interior become classified as "Wetwear". You can make logical decisions and direct ebbs through your wetwear as an EI, except you only get a number of logical decisions equal to your Autopilot level. The bubble for this "EI" is your whole interior, but you can only interact as an EI with Wetware objects. You must have the Interior Personal Chassis to select this Personal Chassis.

Personal Chassis 5

• Enduring Autonomy 3: You can use Enduring Autonomy 3 as a full-round action. For the next day, you repeat your actions from last round. For the purposes of your Chassis Rage duration this day counts as one round. To select this Personalized Chassis you must have Enduring Autonomy 2, though this personalized chassis doesn't replace it.
• Grafts: Select two level five or lower grafts when you select this Personalized Chassis. You gain the benefits of these grafts, and they do not take up a true body slot.

I would reduce the number of mutations gained to 2 per level and on all levels.

Other than that, pretty nice.

Would removing Hellfire Immunity and Dark Grace be a good start? The goal was to boost social abillites (mostly seen in smouldering gaze), pump its summoning and binding options, and convert fire to hellfire.

Hellfire Perfection needs a lot of work, but the idea is a firey rebirth in hell, combined with a partial merging with Hellfire.

As for the Hellfire Gifts, they too much? Partially based on the worldshaker, but with a fird/enchantment/devil theme.

Hellfire Immunity is alright. Smoldering Gaze is the prime issue, since it doesn't really provide any opportunity cost (you will get them all anyway), plus I am planning to bring down the skill bonuses granted by mutations heavily (the current situation of "can become impossible to deal with in certain fields" isn't really ideal).

The perfection should probably have its own wording instead of borrowing teratomorphisms like that. The effect granting teratomorphisms has the extra issue of empowering stacking t-morphs (Heart of Elements line among others) and somewhat edging into the realm of the Aberration Perfection.

Vile Hellfire is quite likely too much. It is by all means "unhealable, unresistable damage".

Dark Grace is ok.

I should note that while the Worldshaker gains a lot of stuff, it sacrifices the baseline mutation advancement for it (only 3 mutations per level).

Other than these. I would do the following rewordings.

1. Collapse Hellfire Empowerment and Conversion into a single feature that explicitates an upgrade at a certain level. This will reduce clutter in the table.

2. Same for Hellfire Resistance/Immunity.

3. Change "Hellfire Evolution" to the more standard structure for mutation presentation. I feel like this shift led to the bloat by making the tables look emptier than they actually are. Mutations give a lot.

4. Gifts:
- Diabolic Deals needs a harder rule to back it up. Perhaps Geas on the wish-taker.

- Hellfire Hide is a tad too much raw defensive numbers.

- Diabolic Shield fondly strokes that part of my mind that thinks passive perfect defenses need to go away from D&D (Mind Blank).

- Arcane Retribution's save DC is higher than it should be.

- Faustian Pactmaker references something called Infernal Bargainer which is quite simply nowhere.

[Grimsage Matt]

It look good now? The Hellfire Perfection is based on a mix of Planar Renewal II and Fiery Discorporation, with the abillity to blast those the buggers that killed you for some revenge. You would still need to pick up plane shift through other means.

You can only get 2 out of 4 smouldering gaze's now, and cut the mutations from 4/level to 3. Also changed the deals to split the two versions of faustian pacts (return favors vs soul), and gave a 9th level abillity where the fire damage you block heals you..... might replace that with the abillity for enchantment affects to bypass immunities...

Diabolic shield is now an Undectable Alginment and a bonus on saves VS mind affecting.

As for Infernal Bargainer, yah, it's nice, but not really needed. Great for binder builds though.

Edit; Yah, replaced it with a mind affecting immunity bypass.

For mutation aptitude do you keep adding the plus 1 to all class skills every time that confused me.

Also theres so much to look at what would you recommend for a tri-stalt Fast tough hero and evoluntionist with genection healing from d20 modern future to take here if he suppose to be and ultimate life form?

Each time you gain evolved aptitude you gain a stacking +1 to all skills. Nothing else to be said really.

Tristalt... Well. After checking the two aforementioned classes, your best bet is to just pick the evolutionist build of your choice (probably a combatant of some sort, perhaps a Spine-centric archer type) and just use the two classes as minor goodies on the side. Tough hero's Energy Resistance Talents have the benefit of allowing you to skip the energy resistance mutations on your way to elemental offensive. Fast Hero... Eh, Evasion is pretty much all it offers that the evolutionist can't get better.

... The d20 modern classes are really underwhelming aren't they. Honestly, I would recommend skipping Fast Hero and going for Strong Hero for the higher BAB instead and go with a melee build of your preference. A gore charger (get improved grab and impale for a rampaging shish-kebab machine), a claw-rake shredder. I bet there isn't a thing in d20 modern that can deal with a large burrower with swallow whole.

And I have no clue to what "Genection healing" does.

Genetic healing is from the future and your able to mutate your genes to become able to get fast healing 3

[Grimsage Matt]

Strictly speaking, if your DM is going to allow a 3.5 class in a d20 future game, you are going to eat everything alive. And with this class? Thats like expecting a level 1 commoner to pose a threat to a level 30 min/maxed wizard. And you aren't the commoner.

In that setting, this is probably still quite strong. Really though, this class is a lot harder to break than some officially published classes I've seen.

Really? It might just be that I've always used it in gestalt, but to me it's always come across as really powerful. Can give yourself a large smörgåsbord of passive improvements and options, or just focus on one thing into oblivion. Can grapple somebody in an inescapable grip, melt somebody to slag with acid javelins, ect..Plus, it can have a perfect action economy use, thanks to picking powers with different activation times so you can always use them all (melee need more damage for swift? use mutilate! Squishy to escape quick? Dimension Door!)

Evolutionist can mold itself into the ideal partner for your other class in gestalt, moreso than any 1st-party class, making it pretty overpowering under those circumstances. Draken has said before that it does weird things in gestalt.

[Rizban]

Agreed. Gestalt makes it crazy powerful. Just a straight mutator though is more tame. It's a good tier 2 to high tier 3 class, depending on how it's built.

... I am having trouble reading that sheet. It looks like it is somewhere between a level 5 monostalt and a level 2 tristalt, but both situations result in extremely wrong numbers more or less everywhere. Edit: namely, in both situations, you can't have evolve aptitude 5 since you have 2 levels of Evo and no racial HD.
