TEMPTER
The tempter is a sly master of persuasion, an expert in the art of manipulating others to her own ends. All tempters have spellcasting talent, but they forgo the versatility of the wizard or even the sorcerer in order to gain nigh-unlimited control over others.
Hit Die: d6.

Class Features
All of the following are class features of the tempter.
Weapon and Armour Proficiency: Tempters gain no proficiency with any weapon or armour.
Spell-like abilities (Sp): At 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th, 8th and 10th level, a tempter gains a new spell-like ability, much like the warlock's invocations. These spell-like abilities can be used at will, with no limit on uses per day; each has a Will save DC equal to 10 + effective spell level + tempter's Charisma modifier. At 4th, 7th and 10th level, the tempter may choose a new spell-like ability of a higher power level than she previously had access to; or, if she so chooses, she may gain an additional spell-like ability of a power level that was already available. Once chosen, spell-like abilities cannot be changed.
The following spells are available to the tempter as spell-like abilities:
| Power Level | Spell-Like Abilities | Effective Spell Level |
| Least | Attraction (as the psionic power) | 1 |
| | Charm Person | 1 |
| | Enthrall | 2 |
| | Hypnotism | 1 |
| | Suggestion | 3 |
| Lesser | Charm Monster | 4 |
| | Glibness | 3 |
| | Hold Person | 3 |
| | Modify Memory | 4 |
| Greater | Dominate Person | 5 |
| | Hold Monster | 5 |
| | Symbol of Persuasion | 6 |
| Greatest | Demand | 8 |
| | Sympathy | 8 |
Wild Empathy (Ex): At 2nd level and higher, the tempter can attempt to improve the demeanour of an animal just as a ranger or druid can (d20 + level + Cha modifier).
Grace (Su): At 3rd level and higher, the tempter adds her Charisma modifier to all saving throws.
Heightened Feinting (Ex): At 5th level and higher, when a tempter uses the Bluff skill to feint in combat, she gains a +2 competency bonus on her Bluff check and a +2 circumstance bonus on her next attack roll if the feint is successful.
Hidden Thought (Su): At 6th level and higher, the tempter is immune to the effects of spells such as
detect thoughts and
discern lies, as well as to any magical means of determining her alignment.
Charismatic Boost (Su): At 9th level and higher, the tempter may add her Charisma modifier to any one of her ability scores (including Charisma) three times a day for one round per level. Only one charismatic boost may be applied at a time.
