Spheres of Might

Equipment Sphere [BAB: 2] [DC: +0]

• [Base] Shield Training (discipline)
  Show spoiler

  You gain proficiency with all shields, including tower shields, and are proficient in all shield bashes. Associated Feat: Shield Proficiency, Tower Shield Proficiency.
• [M-Trad] Knightly Training (discipline)
  Show spoiler

  You gain proficiency with the greatsword, halberd, heavy flail, heavy pick, light flail, light pick, lance, longsword, shortsword, and warhammer, and may wield the bastard sword and estoc, but only as two-handed martial weapons. When performing a charge, you only suffer a -1 penalty to your AC rather than -2.

Shield Sphere [BAB: 3] [DC: +0]

• [Base] Active Defense
  Show spoiler

  If you are using a shield and you are attacked by a creature you are aware of while not flat-footed, you may spend an attack of opportunity to increase your shield bonus to AC against that attack by +2. This decision must be made before the roll is made. For every 4 points of base attack bonus you possess, the increase to your shield bonus provided by this talent increases by 1. Talents with the (deflect) tag grant additional effects to this ability. Each use of active defense may only benefit from one (deflect) talent. You may expend your martial focus to use active defense in place of spending an attack of opportunity.
• [VProd1] Bashing Shield
  Show spoiler

  You do not lose your shield bonus to AC when making an attack with your shield. Additionally, you may make shield bash attacks with a buckler as if it were a light shield. Reduce the damage as if the shield bash was one size smaller when used this way. Associated Feat: Improved Shield Bash.

Guardian Sphere [BAB: 3] [DC: +0]

• [Base] Delayed Damage Pool
  Show spoiler

  You gain a delayed damage pool equal to your 3 x your base attack bonus. When you receive damage, as part of taking the damage you may redirect all or part of it to your delayed damage pool. Apply damage reduction and resistance before redirecting the damage. You may not redirect damage that would exceed the maximum capacity of the damage pool. Your delayed damage pool empties at the end of your turn each round, inflicting any damage stored in the pool on you, bypassing any damage reduction or resistance you possess and resetting to 0. Any additional effects of the attack, such as poison, are still incurred immediately even if the entire damage of the attack is redirected to the delayed damage pool. Any healing you receive in excess of your maximum hp automatically reduces the amount of damage in your delayed damage pool.
• [Base] Challenge
  Show spoiler

  As a move action, you may issue a challenge to a creature you can see. You may expend martial focus to reduce this to a swift action. A creature must be able to perceive your challenge to be affected by it. The creature takes a -2 penalty on attack rolls that do not include you as a target and a +2 bonus on attack rolls targeting only you. Creatures receiving this effect are aware of it, though do not gain insight to its duration. This penalty (but not bonus) increases by 1 for every 4 points of base attack bonus you possess. The challenge lasts for a number of rounds equal to 3 + 1/2 your base attack bonus. When you issue a new challenge, any previous challenge you have active ends. Multiple challenges do not stack; if a creature is affected by challenges from more than one creature, they suffer no penalty against the source of any challenge against them and likewise gain the bonus against the sources of all of the challenges. Creatures with no Intelligence score (Intelligence score of (-)) cannot be targeted by your challenge.

[VProd2] Berserker Sphere [BAB: 3] [DC: +0]

• [Base] Berserking
  Show spoiler

  As a free action at the start of each turn, you may choose to take a -2 penalty to AC in exchange for 3 temporary hit points. The penalty and the temporary hit points end at the start of your next turn. For every point of base attack bonus you have, the granted temporary hit points increase by 1.
• [Base] Brutal Strike
  Show spoiler

  As a special attack action, you may make a melee attack against a target. Creatures damaged by a brutal strike gain the battered condition until the end of your next turn. You may expend martial focus to have the attack deal additional damage equal to twice your base attack bonus.
  Each brutal strike may be modified by a single (exertion) talent.

[VProd3] Fencing Sphere [BAB: 2] [DC: +0]

Drawbacks: Defensive Style, Virtuous
• [DBTalent] Masterful Defense
  Show spoiler

  Whenever you fight defensively, you only suffer a -2 penalty to attack rather than the usual -4. In addition, you gain an additional +1 dodge bonus whenever you fight defensively or take the total defense action. Associated Feat: Crane Style.
• [DBTalent] Read Foe [utility]
  Show spoiler

  You have learned to read the subtle cues of your enemy, and to see through enemy feints. You gain 5 ranks in the Sense Motive skill, plus 5 ranks per additional talent spent in the Fencing sphere (maximum ranks equal to your total Hit Dice). If you already have ranks in the Sense Motive skill you may immediately retrain them, but you do not get to retrain when only temporarily gaining talents, such as through the armiger’s customized weapons class feature.

[ECT3] Brute Sphere [BAB: 2] [DC: +0]

Spheres of Power

[Caster1] Veilweaving Sphere [CL: 3] [DC: +0]

• [Base] Veilweaving
  Show spoiler

  You count your combined levels in your casting classes and any veilweaving classes as your veilweaving level and your casting ability modifier as your veilweaving modifier for the purposes of the veils you shape, abilities that determine their effects based on your veilweaving level, and for acquiring and utilizing akashic feats. You also count as having levels in a veilweaving class when you take this sphere for the purposes of abilities and feats that require you to have levels in such a class. If a single class is both a veilweaver and a casting class at the same time it only counts as a single level in a veilweaving class for these purposes.
• [Base] Known Veils
  Show spoiler

  When you gain this sphere, you immediately learn a veil of your choice. This veil must be able to be shaped in one of the following chakra slots: Belt, Body, Chest, Feet, Hands, Head, Headband, Neck, Shoulders, or Wrists.
• [Base] Shape Veil
  Show spoiler

  When you rest to recover your spell points for the day, you can choose to shape a single veil you know. This follows the normal rules for shaping veils (you can only shape a single veil in any slot).
  If you are able to bind that veil to the chakra you shaped it to, you may bind that veil as part of this process. You can shape veils to the following chakra slots: Belt, Body, Chest, Feet, Hands, Head, Headband, Neck, Shoulders, or Wrists. Shaping veils, and the veils you shape using this sphere do not count as sphere effects for any purposes.
  If you take this sphere on a character who can shape veils from a non-sphere source (such as a base-class veilweaver like vizier), this ability does not increase the maximum number of veils you may shape each day. This restriction does not apply if you only have the ability to shape a specific veil from a racial trait or class feature, or a subset of veils from a class feature, such as the sphere daevic’s passions class feature or the stormbound’s stormweaving ability.
• [Base] Condense and Draw Essence
  Show spoiler

  As a swift action, you can spend any number of spell points to gain half that many points of temporary essence (rounded down, minimum 0). You may only ever have a total amount of temporary essence using this ability at any time equal to your caster level with this sphere. These points of temporary essence persist until you rest to recover your spell points.
  Additionally, as a swift action, you can choose to burn any number of points of temporary essence granted by this ability to gain a number of temporary spell points equal to the amount of temporary essence burned. These temporary spell points last for 1 minute.
• [Base] Essence Capacity
  Show spoiler

  Your veils and essence receptacles gained through this sphere have a maximum amount of essence that can be invested into them, based on your character level. This maximum may be increased by talents, feats, or magic items. Character Level Essence Capacity 0 - 5 1 6 - 11 2 12 - 17 3 18 - 20 4
• [Base](VEIL) Juggernaut Blade
• [EMT1.1] Shape Additional Veil (VEIL) Superior Reflexes
  Show spoiler

  When you rest to recover spell points for the day, you may shape an additional veil you know. If you do not have a (tradition) talent, you learn an additional veil of your choice as well. You may take this talent an additional time at 6th caster level and every 3 caster levels thereafter; the effects stack. If you have the ability to shape veils from a non-sphere source, this talent cannot be taken if it would allow you to shape more veils than 1 + 1 per 3 Hit Dice you possess. This restriction does not apply if you only have the ability to shape a specific veil from a racial trait or class feature, or a subset of veils from a class feature, such as the sphere daevic’s passions class feature or the stormbound’s stormweaving ability.
• [EMT1.2] Enhanced Capacity x1
  Show spoiler

  When you rest to recover your spell points for the day, choose one essence receptacle such as a veil, a talent that can be invested, a magic item designed to contain essence, or a class feature. Your essence capacity for that receptacle is increased by 1. Each time you rest to recover spell points, you can change the receptacle that benefits from this talent.
  You may take this talent an additional time at 7th caster level and every 6 caster levels thereafter. Each time you take this talent, you can apply its effects to one additional receptacle while shaping your veils. You can’t apply this talent’s effects more than once to the same receptacle. Associated feat: Enhanced Capacity.

Moldable Talents

1. [MProd2] Rogue Talent: Cunning (Ex) (Will)

Martial Tradition

The Greatsword Duelist

• Shield Training (discipline)
• Knightly Training
• Shield Sphere
• Guardian Sphere

Spellcasting Tradition

Arcane, Charisma; The Sorcerous Dark Blood

Drawbacks

• Verbal Casting
  Show spoiler

  You must speak in a loud, clear voice to cast spells. Using magic alerts all nearby hearing creatures to your presence and location, effectively breaking stealth. You cannot cast in an area of magical silence, or in any other situation where you are unable to speak clearly.
• Magical Signs
  Show spoiler

  Your magic is accompanied by tell-tale signs; for example, your body glows brightly, the sound of tortured souls shriek as you cast, a deep chill affects all nearby creatures, etc. Using magic automatically breaks stealth, and whenever you use magic all creatures within 60 feet who are observing you are considered to have automatically succeeded at a Spellcraft check to know which sphere effect, talents, and casting tradition you used.
• Innate Curse: Covetous
  Show spoiler

  You find yourself drawn to the luster of wealthy living. You must wear fine non-magical clothing and jewelry worth at least 50 gp + 100 gp per character level you have beyond 1st. If you do not have sufficient wealth to purchase this additional equipment, you feel a strong desire (but are not compelled) to sell existing items or steal from others to obtain it. You are sickened whenever you do not meet this requirement; you are also sickened for 24 hours after anything worth 25 gp × your character level or more is taken from you against your will.
• Focus Casting
  Show spoiler

  Your magic requires you to use an item such as a wand, holy symbol, ring, or staff to create magic. The focus must be wielded or equipped to be used (for example, a wand must be held, a ring must be equipped in a ring slot, etc.) Using magic without your focus requires you to attempt a concentration check (DC 20 + 1/2 the caster level) to produce the desired effect. Failure means time (and any spell points) are spent, but no effect happens. If a focus is lost, stolen, or broken, the caster must create a new focus by securing the necessary item and spending 8 hours bonding with it. At the GM’s discretion, however, another caster’s focus may be used instead. If you are carrying your focus when subject to a polymorph effect that would normally meld your equipment into your new form, your focus melds into your body as well, causing this drawback to function as the center of power drawback for the duration of the effect.
• Somatic Casting x2
  Show spoiler

  You must gesture to cast spells—a process that requires you to have at least 1 hand unoccupied. When using magic, you cannot wear armor heavier than light without incurring a chance of arcane spell failure. You may select this drawback twice. If taken a second time, you cannot wear any armor or use a shield without incurring a chance of arcane spell failure.
• Burdened Magic
  Show spoiler

  Without expending proper energy, it becomes difficult for you to utilize your magic. Whenever you attempt to create a sphere effect that costs less than 2 spell points, you must succeed at a concentration check (DC 15 + your caster level if the effect costs no spell points, or DC 10 + your caster level if it costs 1 spell point) or else the sphere effect fails to manifest and any actions and spell points spent on it are wasted. As part of creating a sphere effect, you may raise the spell point cost of the sphere effect to 2 if it would be lower. When using any effect that can enhance or change a sphere effect by spending additional spell points such as (amp) effects, metamagic feats, and dual sphere feats you may include the spellpoint cost of the effect when determining the cost of the sphere effect for this drawback. This includes the cost from spending a spell point to allow an effect to remain without concentration, but only if it is spent as part of the action to create the sphere effect.

Boons

• Essence Pool: 5
  Show spoiler

  Your magic gathers within your body, allowing you to utilize it to fuel your akashic abilities. Rather than the normal cost of exchanging 2 general drawbacks, you may exchange between 1 and 5 general drawbacks for this boon, gaining a pool of essence based on the number of general drawbacks exchanged (see Table: Essence Pool Boon). If you have the Advanced Magic Training feat, treat half your combined total racial Hit Dice not granting spherecasting and levels in non-spherecasting classes as levels in casting classes for the purposes of this boon (rounded down, minimum 1). 5 +1 per level in a casting class.
• Overcharge
  Show spoiler

  You may overcharge your magic, giving yourself great power at the cost of your own strength. Whenever you use a sphere ability, you may give yourself a +2 competence bonus to your caster level for that ability, but you become fatigued afterward. If you are already fatigued, you become exhausted. If you are exhausted, you collapse to the ground unconscious for 1d4 rounds. Creatures immune to fatigue cannot benefit from this boon.
