Radical Bard (or Revolutionary?)
This component will change bards to song mages.
Song Mage: The bard casts spells, much like a mage or a sorcerer. Like a sorcerer, they have a limited number of spells that they know, that they can select as they level up. Unlike a sorcerer, however, they cannot cast that spell as often as they have the slots for it. Rather, when they select a spell, they can cast it once per day. As such, they can select the same spell multiple times, and doing so allows them to cast that particular spell as many times per day as they have selected it.
Also, bards have a unique spell list that is not identical to the mage/wizard (or cleric or druid) spell list. So, while they cannot cast all wizard/mage spells, they have access to unique spells that are available to nobody else. Typically, these spells influence or affect the bard song in some substantial way for the duration.
Character can select from a list every level. If they select the same spell twice, then they can use that spell more than once per day (like innate abilities--indeed, under the hood, they ARE innates, but cast using the casting button for aesthetic purposes.
Level 1:
Adoration: Gain a bonus to Charisma
Soothing Melody: Bard song cures 1 hp per round for 1 round, +1 round/level to all allies.
lullaby: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/l/lullaby
But probably do have a sleep effect (like 3 seconds)
Ear-Piercing Scream:
matching Chant: Improve movement and reduce fatigue: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/m/marching-chant
Voice: As the wiz spell vocalize
Level 2:
Allegro: Haste (self only) Duration:
Cacophony: Distract enemies with illusory voices
Compulsive Laughter: As hideous laughter
Piercing Shriek
Http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/p/piercing-shriek
Level 3:
Animate Instrument: instrument plays your base bard song (i.e. summoned inv creature)
Level?:
Chord of Shards: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/c/chord-of-shards
Mechanist: thief kit. Cannot pick pockets or hide. can create and use unique mechanical items
(note converts if proficiency installed-- either order)
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/rogue/archetypes/paizo-rogue-archetypes/trapsmith/
Basic idea: Make them a bit better in the early game and a bit worse late game.
Gets more spells early game, fewer spells late game
The generalist will actually get one more spell/lev than specialists, and most specialists will not have a prohibited school. Will remove diviner, and change their spells to "universal". Will use most of the existing slots to create new kits, like the shadow caster.
All 'full' casters and bards will get an innate 'wondrous recall' that allows them to recall spells up to the second most powerful spells that they can cast (min at 3rd level when get 2nd level spells).
Universal Spells: All Divination spells, Dispel Magic, Find Familiar (innate), Spell Sequencer, Spell Trigger, Minor Sequencer, Contingency, Chain Contingency, Wizard Eye.
Spells to move to 10th level: Wish and Time Stop (though, ensure that npc enemies still use the original--just make them unavailable to players except as a HLA).
Generalist useability flag: generalist, evoker, transmuter, abjurer, enchanter, conjurer.
Necromancer flag: necro: unique necro spells
Diviner flag: white necro: unique spells
Illusionist flag: Illusionist (gnomes, see). Unique spells, prolly

GIVE AN OVERVIEW OF EACH COMPONENT HERE. Describe them more fully below
Description
Also see the Performance Fatigue component in the 'extra' class modifications. That component was originally meant to be a part of all Bard revisions, but I decided to separate it out as that might be too extreme of a change for some.
This component will install the 'conservative' bard revision. The overall changes to the Bard class are as follows (see the revised descriptions below for more detail):
Bards can be of any alignment
Bards can cast spells while wearing up to and including chainmail without penalty.
All races will be able to select the Bard class, though not all races will have access to every kit.
Bard Songs will be more useful in that they will last a number of rounds after the bard has stopped performing. However, the bard will not be able to use the performance at will as before. Rather, they will have a 'cool down' period, where they cannot use their song at all (alternatively, performance will cost fatigue...)
Most bards will have access to multiple performances. The base bard will have access to the rally, countersong, and fascinate performances. See individual descriptions for details.
Thief Skills: Bards will have access to more Thief Skills (Requires EEEx).
All bards can specialize (++) in any fighting style, and gain mastery (+++) in two weapon fighting.
Generally increased Hit Die. See individual descriptions for details.
BARD: The Bard is a rogue, but <PRO_HESHE> is very different from the Thief. The Bard's strength is <PRO_HISHER> pleasant and charming personality. With it and <PRO_HISHER> wits, <PRO_HESHE> makes <PRO_HISHER> way through the world. A Bard is a talented musician and a walking storehouse of gossip, tall tales, and lore; <PRO_HESHE> learns a little bit about everything that crosses <PRO_HISHER> path and is a jack-of-all-trades but master of none. While many Bards are scoundrels, their stories and songs are welcome almost everywhere.
Class Features:
Performances are taxing, incresing the fatigue level of the bard by 1 for every round <PRO_HESHE> plays. <PRO_HESHE> recovers this fatigue after 1 hour. <PRO_HESHE> cannot perform if <PRO_HESHE> becomes exhausted.
RALLY: When the bard uses rally, <PRO_HESHE> grants all of <PRO_HISHER> allies, including <PRO_HIMHER>self, a +1 bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws. At 6th level, all allies are also protected from fear. They gain immunity to fear effects for as long as the song lasts, and any fear effects currently on them are removed. At 12th level, all allies also gain +1 to luck, which grants an additional +1 to all saves, and a +10% bonus to all of their thieving skills. In addition, the bonuses to attacks, damage and saves increase to +2 (for a total of +3 to saves). Finally, at 17th level, the the bonuses to luck increases to +2, with it the additional save bonus increases to +2, and the skill bonuses increas to +20%, and the bonuses to hit, damage and saves increase to +3 (+5 to saves).
In order to perform rally, the bard must remain in place. If <PRO_HESHE> moves, rally ends (though, the effects continue based on <PRO_HISHER> level; that is, 1 round per 5 levels.)
COUNTERSONG: When the bard uses this ability, all of <PRO_HISHER> allies within 30', including <PRO_HIMHER>self are protected from magic, and gain a +3 bonus to save against spells, and a +1 to all other saves. In addition, all allies are permitted to make a save vs. spell (with the bonus), and if they succeed, they shrug off the effects of spells such as Silence, Shout, Great Shout, Command, Greater Command, or any other sound-based attack. At 9th level, allies can also shrug off paralysis, hold, stun, charm, or emotion-based effects, such as fear or berserk, if they make their saves. At 11th level, enemy casters find countersong distracting, and suffer a 15% chance of spell failure while within 30' of the bard. This chance increases to 30% at 16th level. Finally, at 18th level, all allies gain a +5 to their saves vs. spell, and +2 to their other saves.
The bard's movement is reduced by half while performing countersong.
FASCINATE: When the bard uses this ability, all enemies within 30 ft. must save vs. Spell (with a +2 bonus) or become enthralled, unable to take action until 1 round passes or they take damage. Enemies suffer a -1 penalty to this save for every 3 levels the bard possesses beyond 8th level (maximum -4 at 20th level).
The bard must remain still while performing fascinate. If <PRO_HESHE> moves, the effect ends.
BLADE: The Blade is an expert fighter and adventurer whose bardic acting abilities make <PRO_HIMHER> appear more intimidating and fearsome than <PRO_HESHE> is. This Bard's fighting style is flashy and entertaining but is also lethally dangerous.
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
DEFENSIVE SPIN: Defensive spin is a specialized form of parrying that is quite impressive to watch. While performing defensive spin, the Blade gains a +1 bonus to AC against all melee weapons for every two levels <PRO_HESHE> has (minimum +1) to a maximum of +10 at level 20. Further, any opponent that gets in melee range (4') with the blade must save vs. breath or suffer 1d6 points of slashing damage from the whirling blades. This damage increases by 1d6 every 5 levels (max 5d6 at 20th level). The Blade cannot attack nor cast spells while using Defensive Spin.
OFFENSIVE SPIN: Offensive spin is a much more aggressive display of prowess compared to defensive spin, though it is a bit more reckless. While in this stance, the Blade's movement rate doubles and <PRO_HESHE> gains a +2 bonus to melee attack and damage rolls as well as an extra attack per round. Finally,<PRO_HESHE> deals an additional +1 to damage with all melee attacks for every 5 levels. Offensive Spin may not be used in conjunction with the Haste or Improved Haste spells. The blade suffers a -2 penalty to AC while using offensive spin.
WEAPON DISPLAY: When performing a weapon display, the Blade performs an impressive and intimidating display with <PRO_HISHER> weapon. All intelligent enemies within 30' of the Blade must make a save vs. wands or be demoralized, suffering a -2 penalty to attack rolls, AC and moral. This penalty increases by -1 for each five levels <PRO_HESHE> posesses (max -6 at 20th level). Enemies make their save at -1 per 6 levels of the Blade (maximum -3 at 18th level).
Additionally, the display inspires allies, granting them a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls.
Enemies that come within melee range of the blade (about 4') must save vs. breath (with a -2 penalty) or take 1d6 slashing damage from the whirling blades. This damage increases by 1d6 for each 5 levels (max 5d6 at 20th level).
The blade can only move at half speed while performing Weapon Display.
Finally, Weapon Display cannot be performed while the blade is in a Stance.
JESTER: This Bard is well versed in the arts of ridicule and hilarity, and uses <PRO_HISHER> abilities to distract and confuse <PRO_HISHER> enemies, cavorting madly during combat. Do not mistake <PRO_HIMHER> for a true fool, however, as <PRO_HESHE> can also be quite deadly.
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
TAUNT: The jester can use taunt against any creature within 30' that can hear <PRO_HIMHER> and that has greater than animal intelligence. If the creature fails a save vs. spell, they become enraged and resort to melee, disregarding all tactics, possibly even mistakenly attacking their own allies in a fit of rage.
This effect lasts for 1 round, +1 round per 3 levels of the jester. Further, the target suffers a penalty to their save for every three levels of the jester.
The jester cannot taunt a creature more than once in a given encounter. Whether or not they save, targets are immune to further taunting effects for 8 hours.
BAFOONERY/JESTING: The jester is a master at using humor and bafoonery to lighten the mood, buffering <PRO_HISHER> allies against harmful magics and effects, often by telling timely jokes at the expense of <PRO_HISHER> enemies.
While using this performance, the Jester takes advantage of distracted enemies effectively gaining a +2 bonus to AC. This bonus increases by +1 per 5 levels the jester has attained (maximum +6 at 20th level).
At 1st level, allies gain a +1 bonus to saves, while enemies must save each round vs. wands with a +2 bonus or become enraged (as taunt above) for 1 round. Every 5 levels the jester has attained, the save bonus increases by +1 and enemies suffer a -1 penalty to this save (max +5/-5 at 20th level).
At 10th level, allies recover from , and are immute to, fear and charm effects while the jester is performing. <PRO_HISHER> enemies must make a save vs. paralysis each round (in addition to the save vs. enrage) or become confused for 1 round. Enemies gain a -1 penalty to this save at levels 15 and 20.
SKALD: This nordic Bard is also a warrior of great strength, skill, and virtue; <PRO_HISHER> songs are inspiring sagas of battle and valor, and the Skald devotes <PRO_HISHER> life to those pursuits.
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
BATTLESONG: ?
1st level: Grants allies a +2 bonus to hit and damage rolls, and a +2 bonus to AC.
15th level: Grants allies a +4 bonus to hit and damage rolls, a +4 bonus to AC, and immunity to fear.
20th level: Grants allies a +4 bonus to hit and damage rolls, a +4 bonus to AC, and immunity to fear, stun, and confusion.

Description
Also see the Turn Bonus by Charisma, Spontaneous Casting, Cleric Weapon Training and Cleric Armor Training components in the 'extra' class modifications. Note that if users install spontaneous casting and any cleric revision, it is recommended that they select the option to Replace Domain spells with Spontaneous casting for balance reasons unless they also install Cleric Armor Training.
This component will install the 'conservative' cleric revision. The overall changes to the Cleric class are minimal, as the cleric is a pretty good class as it is. However, there are a number of optional 'extra' classes that the user is invited to check out (See below). The Conservative changes are as follows (see the revised descriptions below for more detail):
The introduction of Domain Spells (And/or spontaneous casting) to increase versatility of the cleric.
All clerics can specialize (++) in any fighting style except two weapon fighting.
New Spells. The cleric, for the most part, is defined by their spells. As such, one way to improve the class is to give them better spells.
CLERIC: The Cleric is an adventuring priest who does not exclusively worship a single deity, but venerates the pantheon as a whole, . <PRO_HESHE> understands that no single deity can or should represent every important aspect of life. Rather, each deity has their place, their portfolios contributing to a whole that is greater than any single part. As such, these clerics are particularly versatile as they can petition different deities for spells on different occasions, though they lack the power that only a specialist can wield.
CLASS FEATURES:
Prime Requisites For Dual-Classing: Wisdom
^Domain spells can be swapped out for Spontaneous Casting (See below).
Domain Spells
Here is a list of each spell that the cleric can cast once per day for each selected sphere. Note that in some instances, a character will gain the ability to cast a single spell more than once. Also note that in some instances, different spells will be available depending on cleric alignment.

Description
Also see the Performance Fatigue component in the 'extra' class modifications. That component was originally meant to be a part of all Fighter revisions, at least Barbarian and Berserker Revisions, but I decided to separate it out as that might be too extreme of a change for some.
This component will install the 'conservative' fighter revision. The overall changes to the Fighter class are as follows (see the revised descriptions below for more detail):
Fighting Stances: Fighters will be able to employ fighting stances to change up their attack strategies. Stances are mutually exclusive abilities that enhance combat ability in some way, but often at the expense of other combat abilities. See individual Stance descriptions. All fighters and fighter kits will have some access to some kits, though the base fighter will have a larger diversity of stances to choose from.
Weapon Versatility: Base fighters will be able to use many different kinds of weapons competently.
Class Features:
STANCE DESCRIPTIONS REVISE
Compatibility Notes:
B_Proficiencies: Weapon Versatility Applies to All Weapon Proficiencies as well as Armor and Miscellaneous proficiency. (Obviously, will not apply to non-weapon proficiencies.)
CONTINUE FIGHTER
If this tweak is installed, either the Bard Song or the Shaman Dance or both cause 1 point of fatigue for each round the character performs. Fatigue caused by performing recovers after 1 turn.
If installed for other class abilities, fatigue will only accrue by 1 point per use. Typically, this fatigue lasts until the character rests as normal.
When the character reaches 7 points of fatigue, they gain the 'fatigued' condition.
This component is meant to coincide with the revisions to the various classes presented in this mod as a kind of balance, but I decided to separate it out as that might be too extreme of a change for some.
This component only adds performance fatigue to the Bard Song and not to the Shaman Dance.
This component only adds performance fatigue to the Shaman Dance and not to the Bard Song.
This component adds performance fatigue to both the Shaman Dance and the Bard Song.
This component imposes 1 point of fatigue whenever the Enrage Class feature is used.
This component imposes 1 point of fatigue whenever the Rage Class feature is used.
This component imposes 1 point of fatigue whenever the Rage or Enrage Class feature is used.
This component imposes 1 point of fatigue whenever the Rage or Enrage Class feature is used.
This component adds performance fatigue to both the Shaman Dance and the Bard Song.
This component will allow unique spell lists for all arcane classes and kits.
Turn Undead: This group of components modifies the turn undead level of characters based on their charisma. There are three subcomponents described below. The turn level modification is as follows:
Charisma Value | Turn modification |
---|---|
18 to 19 | +1 |
20 to 22 | +2 |
23+ | +3 |
This component will modify priests' and paladins' turn undead level by their current charisma as per the table above.
This component will modify only priests' turn undead level by their current charisma as per the table above.
This component will modify only paladins' turn undead level by their current charisma as per the table above.
-------------------------------Revise Below this line ----------------------------------------------------
Component 001: INSTALL ALL REVISED AND NEW KITS (RADICAL VERSION)
This Component will use more 'extreme' measures to radically rework the way that kits and classes work in the game. While kit and class selection will appear more or less the same while playing the game, this component will make a number of changes 'under the hood' to allow for things like removed opposition schools, and so on. See the Details Below
All Classes
Generally speaking, all classes get something of a 'boost' at first level but find that their power level does not increase as rapidly as before. Spellcasters get more spells in the early levels but cannot cast spells of higher levels as often or as early.
Known Issues
Alteration Overview:
Class Features:
Note: Similar to KR version, but each stance is (potentially) permanent and mutually exclusive. Many enemies will have this applied to them so they can gain the benefits of Stances.
Note: Similar to KR, but the bonuses actually add a proficiency point (use script and invs monster)
OFFENSIVE STANCE: While in this stance, the fighter suffers a -2 penalty to AC, but gains a +2 bonus to Damage rolls. At levels 11 and 19, the fighter gains an additional +1 bonus to damage when using Offensive Stance.
DEFENSIVE STANCE: While in this stance, the fighter suffers a -2 penalty to attack rolls, but gains a +2 bonus to AC. At levels 11 and 19, the fighter gains an additional +1 bonus to AC when using Defensive Stance.
With Proficiencies Installed:
Weapon Versatility Applies to All Weapon Proficiencies as well as Armor and Miscellaneous proficiency. (Obviously, will not apply to non-weapon proficiencies.)
Known Issues
Alteration Overview:
The three aspects of the bard class that I consider to be 'radical' are the custom spell progression, the custom spell list, and the alteration to how the bard song works (i.e. increases in potency over time, lasts for a number of rounds after the bard has stopped performing, is disabled for a period, and is generally limited in some other respect.)
All bards can specialize (++) in any fighting style, and gain mastery (+++) in two weapon fighting.
Bards will be restricted in the kinds of magic they can initially learn. In particular, they cannot learn evocation, conjuration or necromancy spells (some kits are exceptions to this). But, they will have an opportunity to learn special spells via 'song books' that they can find or purchase in their trails.
Bards can be of any alignment
Bards can cast spells while wearing up to and including chain mail without penalty.
All races will be able to select the Bard class, though not all will be able to take every kit.
Bard Songs will be more useful in that they will last a number of rounds after the bard has stopped singing. However, the bard will not be able to use the song at will. Rather, they will have a 'cool down' period, where they cannot use their song at all. At first level, this period will last for 8 hours.
Bards will be able to cast spells starting at first level. The progression is the same as before, except the bard gains access to 1st and second level spells one level earlier, and overall they cast one more first or second level spell. Revised spell progression:
Bard Level | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | 6th | 7th | 8th |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st | 1 | - | - | - | - | - | - | - |

Unique Bard Spells
Soothing Melody
Eliminates and protects from many mental effects, and gives bonus hit points.
BARD: The Bard is a rogue, but <PRO_HESHE> is very different from the Thief. The Bard's strength is <PRO_HISHER> pleasant and charming personality. With it and <PRO_HISHER> wits, <PRO_HESHE> makes <PRO_HISHER> way through the world. A Bard is a talented musician and a walking storehouse of gossip, tall tales, and lore; <PRO_HESHE> learns a little bit about everything that crosses <PRO_HISHER> path and is a jack-of-all-trades but master of none. While many Bards are scoundrels, their stories and songs are welcome almost everywhere.
Class Features:
RALLY: When the bard uses rally, <PRO_HESHE> grants all of <PRO_HISHER> allies, including <PRO_HIMHER>self, a +1 bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws. At 6th level, all allies are also protected from fear. They gain immunity to fear effects for as long as the song lasts, and any fear effects currently on them are removed. At 12th level, all allies also gain +1 to luck, which grants an additional +1 to all saves, and a +10% bonus to all of their thieving skills. In addition, the bonuses to attacks, damage and saves increase to +2 (for a total of +3 to saves). Finally, at 17th level, the the bonuses to luck increases to +2, with it the additional save bonus increases to +2, and the skill bonuses increas to +20%, and the bonuses to hit, damage and saves increase to +3 (+5 to saves).
In order to perform rally, the bard must remain in place. If <PRO_HESHE> moves, rally ends (though, the effects continue based on <PRO_HISHER> level; that is, 1 round per 5 levels.)
COUNTERSONG: When the bard uses this ability, all of <PRO_HISHER> allies within 30', including <PRO_HIMHER>self are protected from magic, and gain a +3 bonus to save against spells, and a +1 to all other saves. In addition, all allies are permitted to make a save vs. spell (with the bonus), and if they succeed, they shrug off the effects of spells such as Silence, Shout, Great Shout, Command, Greater Command, or any other sound-based attack. At 9th level, allies can also shrug off paralysis, hold, stun, charm, or emotion-based effects, such as fear or berserk, if they make their saves. At 11th level, enemy casters find countersong distracting, and suffer a 30% chance of spell failure while within 30' of the bard. This chance increases to 50% at 16th level. Finally, at 18th level, all allies gain a +4 to their saves vs. spell, and +2 to their other saves.
While performing a countersong, <PRO_HESHE> can only move at half speed.
FASCINATE: When the bard uses this ability, all enemies within 30 ft. must save vs. Spell or become enthralled, unable to take action until 1 round passes or they take damage. Enemies suffer a -1 penalty to this save for every 3 levels the bard possesses beyond 8th level (maximum -4 at 20th level). The duration of this ability is extended by 1 round for every 4 levels the bard possesses beyond 8th level (maximum 4 rounds at 20th level).
While perfroming Fascinate, <PRO_HESHE> cannot move at all, and unlike a normal performance, the effect ends as soon as the bard moves, regardless of <PRO_HISHER> level.
BLADE: The Blade is an expert fighter and adventurer whose bardic acting abilities make <PRO_HIMHER> appear more intimidating and fearsome. This Bard's fighting style is flashy and entertaining but is also lethally dangerous.
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
DEFENSIVE SPIN: Defensive spin is a specialized form of parrying that is quite impressive to watch. While performing defensive spin, the Blade gains a +1 bonus to AC against all melee weapons for every two levels <PRO_HESHE> has (minimum +1) to a maximum of +10 at level 20. Further, any opponent that gets in melee range (4') with the blade must save vs. breath or suffer 1d6 points of slashing damage from the whirling blades. This damage increases by 1d6 every 5 levels (max 5d6 at 20th level). The Blade cannot attack nor cast spells while using Defensive Spin.
OFFENSIVE SPIN: Offensive spin is a much more aggressive display of prowess compared to defensive spin, though it is a bit more reckless. While in this stance, the Blade's movement rate doubles and <PRO_HESHE> gains a +2 bonus to melee attack and damage rolls as well as an extra attack per round. Finally,<PRO_HESHE> deals an additional +1 to damage with all melee attacks for every 5 levels. Offensive Spin may not be used in conjunction with the Haste or Improved Haste spells. The blade suffers a -2 penalty to AC while using offensive spin.
WEAPON DISPLAY: When performing a weapon display, the Blade performs an impressive and intimidating display with <PRO_HISHER> weapon. All intelligent enemies within 30' of the Blade must make a save vs. wands or be demoralized, suffering a -2 penalty to attack rolls, AC and moral. This penalty increases by -1 for each five levels <PRO_HESHE> posesses (max -6 at 20th level). Enemies make their save at -1 per 6 levels of the Blade (maximum -3 at 18th level).
Additionally, the display inspires allies, granting them a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls.
Enemies that come within melee range of the blade (about 4') must save vs. breath (with a -2 penalty) or take 1d6 slashing damage from the whirling blades. This damage increases by 1d6 for each 5 levels (max 5d6 at 20th level).
The blade can only move at half speed while performing Weapon Display.
Finally, Weapon Display cannot be performed while the blade is in a Stance.
JESTER: This Bard is well versed in the arts of ridicule and hilarity, and uses <PRO_HISHER> abilities to distract and confuse <PRO_HISHER> enemies, cavorting madly during combat. Do not mistake <PRO_HIMHER> for a true fool, however, as <PRO_HESHE> can also be quite deadly.

2e Complete Bard:
This is what I have so far
Rally needs clarification: What happens if the character moves?
RALLY: When the bard uses rally, <PRO_HESHE> grants all of <PRO_HISHER> allies, including <PRO_HIMHER>self, a +1 bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws. At 6th level, all allies are also protected from fear. They gain immunity to fear effects for as long as the song lasts, and any fear effects currently on them are removed. At 12th level, all allies also gain +1 to luck, which grants an additional +1 to all saves, and a +10% bonus to all of their thieving skills. In addition, the bonuses to attacks, damage and saves increase to +2 (for a total of +3 to saves). Finally, at 17th level, the the bonuses to luck increases to +2, with it the additional save bonus increases to +2, and the skill bonuses increas to +20%, and the bonuses to hit, damage and saves increase to +3 (+5 to saves).
In order to perform rally, the bard must remain in place. If <PRO_HESHE> moves, rally ends (though, the effects continue based on <PRO_HISHER> level as described above).
COUNTERSONG: When the bard uses this ability, all of <PRO_HISHER> allies within 30', including <PRO_HIMHER>self are protected from magic, and gain a +3 bonus to save against spells, and a +1 to all other saves. In addition, all allies are permitted to make a save vs. spell (with the bonus), and if they succeed, they shrug off the effects of spells such as Silence, Shout, Great Shout, Command, Greater Command, or any other sound-based attack. At 9th level, allies can also shrug off paralysis, hold, stun, charm, or emotion-based effects, such as fear or berserk, if they make their saves. At 11th level, enemy casters find countersong distracting, and suffer a 30% chance of spell failure while within 30' of the bard. This chance increases to 50% at 16th level. Finally, at 18th level, all allies gain a +4 to their saves vs. spell, and +2 to their other saves.
While performing a countersong, <PRO_HESHE> can only move at half speed.
What is Enthrall? Describe
FASCINATE: When the bard uses this ability, all enemies within 30 ft. must save vs. Spell or become enthralled, unable to take action until 1 round passes or they take damage. Enemies suffer a -1 penalty to this save for every 3 levels the bard possesses beyond 8th level (maximum -4 at 20th level). The duration of this ability is extended by 1 round for every 4 levels the bard possesses beyond 8th level (maximum 4 rounds at 20th level).
While perfroming Fascinate, <PRO_HESHE> cannot move at all, and unlike a normal performance, the effect ends as soon as the bard moves, regardless of <PRO_HISHER> level.~
Extend duration whenever they down an opponent

Paladin kit (because vanilla only does kits based on worship...)
Will not install if KR installed
Advantages:
Very Similar, but more powerful than the KR version. This replaces the Inner Focus KR ability, so applies to NPC WSs as well. Note that this will also be the Chaotic Mind(?) ability of the Jester.
Not activated, so much more powerful than the SR version. At the same time, other SR abilities are not added, and it can be used against PC's. I want NPC WSs to be very dangerous to player character mages
Disadvantages:
With Proficiecies Installed:
Limited to weapon specialization (++) only with weapons (obviously), miscellaneous and armor.
Limited weapon training rather than stances. Should still be effective against non-casters
Fighter Kit: with or without Proficiencies
Will not install most changes if KR installed. Only changes to the dwarven Defender will be installed if KR is installed
The fighter revisions are strongly inspired by the Kit Revisions version, and this component is not available if Kit Revisions is installed.
I like the KR philosophy of making base classes competent with all aspects of the class while the kits are specialists, and so I have generally stuck to that strategy.
The Kensai is a melee specialist. My hope is that they will be better than a standard fighter in melee, but vulnerable against ranged attacks. As such, I have kept their armor prohibition, and their stances do not help them defend against ranged attacks, but they gain double the bonuses in melee. This might be a bit too much, so I'm thinking of letting them wear leather armor, and they might get some bonus against ranged attacks (e.g. Deflect arrows).
The Wizard Slayer is based on the version in the Complete Barbarian version (man, what a good book!) They are more powerful than the KR version, especially with their disruptive strike, which does not require activation. I'll try to make sure that enemy warriors have the kit (or at least the abilities) so players can deal with them, as well. Their main disadvantage is that they don't get the second wind class feature. I consider that a pretty major disadvantage, so I may even remove the reduced specialization (core fighters can have 6 pips in any weapon, while WS can only get 5--which is still pretty good).
The Barbarian is also inspired by the Complete Barbarian supplement, especially the Ravager kit (again, also by KR). The plan is to give barbarians a number of useful skills, a lesser version of rage, and keep reduced weapon and armor prof. They will be able to do things like treat wounds, and, hide and set traps in natural settings, so I'm hoping that should make up for the losses. I like KR's plan of giving them 'frenzy' like abilities to contrast with the Berserker's rage. The berserker's rage should, in my opinion, be overall better than the Barbarian's rage, but the berserker does not get access to all of those skills, so they should overall balance out.. I love love love Feral Senses, but it works a bit differently. Basically, when the barbarian is raging, they can also detect illusions. Barbarian rage will last 10 rounds as pnp, while a berserkers can last indefinitely.
For the Berserker, I really like the KR version. But, I also wanted a way for the berserker to extend their rage. So, enter carnage of battle, an ability that extends a berserkers rage (for an extra five rounds) whenever they down an opponent in melee. They may end their rage prematurely if they are not near an enemy for more than x rounds.
As an optional component, fear effects will prematurely end rage effects if the barbarian/berserker fails their save.
This component will install the 'conservative' fighter revision. The overall changes to the Fighter class are as follows (see the revised descriptions below for more detail):
Add stances, which allow the fighter to adapt their fighting style to their opponent. These stances are similar to the KR version, but each stance is (potentially) permanent and mutually exclusive. Many enemies will have stances applied to them. Fighters select fighting styles as they level and can tailor their fighting style to their liking via stance selection (see description for more details).
Fighters automatically gain proficiency with all weapons, making them a true master of arms. This is similar to KR, but the bonuses actually add a proficiency point to all weapon proficiencies.
Fighters can gain as many as six (6!) pips in any weapon proficiency. Only the Kensai can be more skilled with weapons, and only with the weapon they focus on.
Base Fighters can gain up to supreme grandmastery (six slots), while Kensai can gain legendary grandmastery (seven slots) in their favored weapon. See below for the expanded table:
Ranks | To Hit | Damage | Speed |
---|---|---|---|
1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
2 | 1 | 2 | 0 |
3 | 3 | 3 | 0 |
4 | 3 | 4 | -1 |
5 | 3 | 5 | -3 |
6 | 4 | 7 | -3 |
7 | 5 | 9 | -5 |
This expansion will not install if any other mod has modified these values. This may lead to issues if any of those mods have not expanded the table to 7 pips. Let me know if you encounter any issues and I'll do what I can.
FIGHTER: The Fighter is a champion, swords<PRO_MANWOMAN>, soldier, and brawler who lives or dies by <PRO_HISHER> knowledge of weapons and tactics. Fighters can be found at the front of any battle, contesting toe-to-toe with monsters and villains. A good Fighter needs to be strong and healthy if <PRO_HESHE> hopes to survive.
Class Features:
OFFENSIVE STANCE: When the fighter is in this stance, <PRO_HESHE> gains a +2 bonus to attack, but suffers a -2 penalty to AC. The bonus to attack improves by 1 at levels 7, 14 and 21. Additionally, at various levels, <PRO_HESHE> can improve <PRO_HISHER> stance in the following ways:
DEFENSIVE STANCE: When the fighter is in this stance, <PRO_HESHE> gains a +2 bonus to AC, but suffers a -2 penalty to attack rolls. The bonus to AC improves by 1 at levels 7, 14 and 21. Additionally, at various levels, <PRO_HESHE> can improve <PRO_HISHER> stance in the following ways:
SECOND WIND: Upon using this ability, the character takes a moment to catch <PRO_HISHER> breath. When <PRO_HESHE> does this, <PRO_HESHE> recovers a number of hit points equal to 25% of <PRO_HISHER> hit point total. Additionally, <PRO_HESHE> recovers fatigue.
The warrior cannot use Second Wind if there are enemies present.
Notes:
Skills & Proficiencies: The fighter's Second Wind ability is governed by the endurance proficiency or the second wind skill, if the relevant components are installed. Fighters will have more uses of the ability (i.e. they gain uses both from the relevant skill or proficiency and from their fighter class levels). Additionally, if component 101 is installed, weapon versatility also gives fighters ranks in the armor proficiency (but not any non-weapon proficiency).
KENSAI: This class's name, which means "sword saint" in the common tongue, refers to a warrior who has been specially trained to be one with <PRO_HISHER> weapon. The kensai is particularly deadly with a single weapon type, though , fast, and trained to fight without the protection of armor.
Advantages:
KAI: All successful attacks within the next 10 seconds deal maximum damage.
Disadvantages:
Restrictions:
WIZARD SLAYER: This warrior has been specially trained by <PRO_HISHER> sect to excel in hunting and combating spellcasters of all kinds.
Advantages:
Disadvantages:

Notes:
Spell Mods: This ability will mirror the relevant spells mentioned in the description. As such, any mods that modify this spell will modify this ability as well (except that these abilities are never, technically, 'magical' and cannot be dispelled or affected by spell resistance.
Skills & Proficiencies: The wizard slayers Sense Illusions ability is governed by the sense evil presence skill if the relevant components are installed. Wizard slayers will have unlimited use of this ability, though it will have a chance to fail.
BARBARIAN: The barbarian’s extraordinary stamina and physical skills let <PRO_HIMHER> survive in the most punishing environments. <PRO_HESHE> relies on muscle and wits, overcoming hardships with brute force, sheer determination, and practical know-how.
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
Restrictions:
TREAT INJURY: Heals 1d3 points of damage to any target. The damage healed increases by 1d3 at 5th level, and every five levels thereafter.
RAGE: The enraged status lasts for 8 rounds and provides a +2 bonus to attack, damage, AC, and saves vs. Spell, and <PRO_HISHER> movement is increased by 2 points for the duration.
Rage lasts for an additional round at levels 8 and 16.
The bonuses increase by 1 at levels 11 and 21
SET NATURAL SNARE: Set a trap in the chosen location when no hostile creatures are in sight. Traps grow more powerful with the Thief's level and can only be triggered by enemies.
1st level: Deals 2d8+5 missile damage.
11th level: Deals 2d8+5 missile damage and additionally deals 2d6 poison damage per round for the next 3 rounds.
16th level: Deals 3d8+5 missile damage and 4d8+2 fire damage.
21st level: Deals 3d8+5 missile damage and 20 poison damage with no save; slays target if a Save vs. Death with a +4 bonus is failed.
This ability does not work in non-natural settings.
Notes:
Spell Mods: This ability will mirror the relevant spells mentioned in the description. As such, any mods that modify this spell will modify this ability as well (except that these abilities are never, technically, 'magical' and cannot be dispelled or affected by spell resistance.
Skills & Proficiencies: The barbarian gets a number of skill-like abilities, like detect illusion, which are governed by the relevant skill or proficiency if the corresponding components are installed.
EEex: This kit is better implemented with EEex installed.
CONTINUE
BERSERKER: This is a warrior who is in tune with <PRO_HISHER> animalistic side and, during combat, can achieve an ecstatic state of mind that will enable <PRO_HIMHER> to fight longer, harder, and more savagely than any person has a right to. Berserkers tend to be barbarian-like in nature, but not always. Sometimes it is a conscious choice that a warrior in training makes. Regardless, opponents on the battlefield will be unsettled when they see the savage and inhuman elements of the Berserker's personality. This class is common amongst dwarves, known to them as the Battlerager.
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
Restrictions:
RAGE: The enraged state lasts for 5 rounds. While enraged, a Berserker gains a bonus of +4 to <PRO_HISHER> attack and damage rolls, and becomes immune to all mind affecting affects, such as charm, confusion, fear, feeblemind, hold, imprisonment, maze, stun, and sleep. The Berserker also gains 10 temporary Hit Points. <PRO_HESHE> does suffer a -2 penalty to <PRO_HISHER> Armor Class and ranged weapons while raging, however.
The bonus to attack and damage increase by +2 at levels 8 and 16.
OFFENSIVE STANCE: The Berserker can select from the following to improve <PRO_HISHER> offensive stance:
CONTINUE
DWARVEN DEFENDER: The Dwarven Defender is a formidable warrior that is reputed to be worth two soldiers of any other race. Trained extensively in the art of dwarven warfare, a handful of these stout fighters can render a defensive line all but unbreakable.
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
Restrictions:
BULWARK: For 1 turn the Dwarven Defender gains +30% resistance to all forms of physical damage, a +2 bonus to Saving Throws, and gains an additional 15 temporary hit points.
At levels 8, and 16, the bonus to resistance increase by 10%, <PRO_HESHE> gains an additional +1 bonus to all saves, and an additional 5 temporary hit points when using Bulwark.
CONTINUE
This component changes the dwarven Defender kit to the Defender kit and allows any race to take the kit. The kit is otherwise unchanged.

Also, touch like spells, like grasping hand affec melee weapon rather than work the way they usually do
Alchemist: mage kit. Transmutation specialist. Can create unique alchemical items. Penalty?
Rename to Weapon Master, though note that they are called Kensai in Kara-Tur.

Disadvantages:

Grrr, where are my notes on this? Requires 4 custom stats.
Level 10 stat: Required to put ranks in skill. Set by thieves at level 10.
Mage stat: Stat required to use mage scrolls. Automatically set for mages, sorcerers and bards. Values of 1 allows level 1 scrolls up to 9 allowing level 9 scrolls inclusive. Mages sorcerers and bards (though allow for bards to only have access to up to lev 6 scrolls) have max value. Each 10 points in Use Scroll increments the value of this stat by 1 for thieves (so, 10 points allows lev 1 scrolls, etc.--if zero lev scrolls in game (from magic and spells) then 1 point allows thieves to use those--maybe the values of this should be 0-11 (for poss cantrips and 10th level scrolls).
Priest stat: For cleric spells. Set to max value for clerics (and optionally for paladins). Probably not druids (though, if druid scrolls are added, will need another stat). Increments by 1 for every 15 points in use scroll stat (except gets a value for use with lev 7 scrolls at 99).
Use Scrolls Stat: Sets priest and/or mage stats depending on value.
Optionally, should include priest scroll component from S&M.
Bardic Knowledge: Maybe just lore, and maybe just allow bards to add to it... (can be used instead of various int checks), but also grant a bonus to Lore. Bards should start with a non-zero boni and thieves should be able to use it (because, why not?)

Can I change prices 'on the fly' through dialog (or lua)? Can I use the stat value as a variable for % to activate a particular response?
Can I make a particular merchant 'remember' a result? Can I make certain merchants harder or easier? (based on wis score or familiarity with PC/reputation?)
Packrat: ????????
Can I do anything with stat 71 Encumbrance? Seems unlikely. Wouldn't adding to that stat just increase encumbrance? And, a negative result would be bad. But, maybe a custom stat could lower encumbrance by a percentage????
What about 47 moralrecoverytime?

Class revisions alter existing classes in some manner, as opposed to adding kits or interchangeable class features. Class features themselves are divided into 'Conservative' and 'Radical' versions of a given class/kit structure. This mod tries, as much as possible, to allow players to mix and match conservative and radical versions together. So, for example, a player could install conservative fighter revisions with radical bard revisions. However, players should be warned that there might be balance issues, especially when the various class features are added to the mix. We cannot account for everything. That said, we will try to note where balance issues might exist, both here and in individual class sections below.
\page
Description
Also see the Performance Fatigue component in the 'extra' class modifications. That component was originally meant to be a part of all Bard revisions, but I decided to separate it out as that might be too extreme of a change for some.
This component will install the 'conservative' bard revision. The overall changes to the Bard class are as follows (see the revised descriptions below for more detail):
Bards can be of any alignment
Bards can cast spells while wearing up to and including chainmail without penalty.
All races will be able to select the Bard class, though not all races will have access to every kit.
Bard Songs will be more useful in that they will last a number of rounds after the bard has stopped performing. However, the bard will not be able to use the performance at will as before. Rather, they will have a 'cool down' period, where they cannot use their song at all (alternatively, performance will cost fatigue...)
Most bards will have access to multiple performances. The base bard will have access to the rally, countersong, and fascinate performances. See individual descriptions for details.
Thief Skills: Bards will have access to more Thief Skills (Requires EEEx).
All bards can specialize (++) in any fighting style, and gain mastery (+++) in two weapon fighting.
Generally increased Hit Die. See individual descriptions for details.
\page
BARD: The Bard is a rogue, but <PRO_HESHE> is very different from the Thief. The Bard's strength is <PRO_HISHER> pleasant and charming personality. With it and <PRO_HISHER> wits, <PRO_HESHE> makes <PRO_HISHER> way through the world. A Bard is a talented musician and a walking storehouse of gossip, tall tales, and lore; <PRO_HESHE> learns a little bit about everything that crosses <PRO_HISHER> path and is a jack-of-all-trades but master of none. While many Bards are scoundrels, their stories and songs are welcome almost everywhere.
RALLY: When the bard uses rally, <PRO_HESHE> grants all of <PRO_HISHER> allies, including <PRO_HIMHER>self, a +1 bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws. At 6th level, all allies are also protected from fear. They gain immunity to fear effects for as long as the song lasts, and any fear effects currently on them are removed. At 12th level, all allies also gain +1 to luck, which grants an additional +1 to all saves, and a +10% bonus to all of their thieving skills. In addition, the bonuses to attacks, damage and saves increase to +2 (for a total of +3 to saves). Finally, at 17th level, the the bonuses to luck increases to +2, with it the additional save bonus increases to +2, and the skill bonuses increase to +20%, and the bonuses to hit, damage and saves increase to +3 (+5 to saves).
In order to perform rally, the bard must remain in place. If <PRO_HESHE> moves, rally ends (though, the effects continue based on <PRO_HISHER> level; that is, 1 round per 5 levels.)
COUNTERSONG: When the bard uses this ability, all of <PRO_HISHER> allies within 30', including <PRO_HIMHER>self are protected from magic, and gain a +3 bonus to save against spells, and a +1 to all other saves. In addition, all allies are permitted to make a save vs. spell (with the bonus), and if they succeed, they shrug off the effects of spells such as Silence, Shout, Great Shout, Command, Greater Command, or any other sound-based attack. At 9th level, allies can also shrug off paralysis, hold, stun, charm, or emotion-based effects, such as fear or berserk, if they make their saves. At 11th level, enemy casters find countersong distracting, and suffer a 15% chance of spell failure while within 30' of the bard. This chance increases to 30% at 16th level. Finally, at 18th level, all allies gain a +5 to their saves vs. spell, and +2 to their other saves.
The bard's movement is reduced by half while performing countersong.
FASCINATE: When the bard uses this ability, all enemies within 30 ft. must save vs. Spell (with a +2 bonus) or become enthralled, unable to take action until 1 round passes or they take damage. Enemies suffer a -1 penalty to this save for every 3 levels the bard possesses beyond 8th level (maximum -4 at 20th level).
The bard must remain still while performing fascinate. If <PRO_HESHE> moves, the effect ends.
\page
BLADE: The Blade is an expert fighter and adventurer whose bardic acting abilities make <PRO_HIMHER> appear more intimidating and fearsome than <PRO_HESHE> is. This Bard's fighting style is flashy and entertaining but is also lethally dangerous.
DEFENSIVE SPIN: Defensive spin is a specialized form of parrying that is quite impressive to watch. While performing defensive spin, the Blade gains a +1 bonus to AC against all melee weapons for every two levels <PRO_HESHE> has (minimum +1) to a maximum of +10 at level 20. Further, any opponent that gets in melee range (4') with the blade must save vs. breath or suffer 1d6 points of slashing damage from the whirling blades. This damage increases by 1d6 every 5 levels (max 5d6 at 20th level). The Blade cannot attack nor cast spells while using Defensive Spin.
OFFENSIVE SPIN: Offensive spin is a much more aggressive display of prowess compared to defensive spin, though it is a bit more reckless. While in this stance, the Blade's movement rate doubles and <PRO_HESHE> gains a +2 bonus to melee attack and damage rolls as well as an extra attack per round. Finally,<PRO_HESHE> deals an additional +1 to damage with all melee attacks for every 5 levels. Offensive Spin may not be used in conjunction with the Haste or Improved Haste spells. The blade suffers a -2 penalty to AC while using offensive spin.
WEAPON DISPLAY: When performing a weapon display, the Blade performs an impressive and intimidating display with <PRO_HISHER> weapon. All intelligent enemies within 30' of the Blade must make a save vs. wands or be demoralized, suffering a -2 penalty to attack rolls, AC and moral. This penalty increases by -1 for each five levels <PRO_HESHE> possesses (max -6 at 20th level). Enemies make their save at -1 per 6 levels of the Blade (maximum -3 at 18th level).
Additionally, the display inspires allies, granting them a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls.
Enemies that come within melee range of the blade (about 4') must save vs. breath (with a -2 penalty) or take 1d6 slashing damage from the whirling blades. This damage increases by 1d6 for each 5 levels (max 5d6 at 20th level).
The blade can only move at half speed while performing Weapon Display.
Finally, Weapon Display cannot be performed while the blade is in a Stance.
\page
JESTER: This Bard is well versed in the arts of ridicule and hilarity, and uses <PRO_HISHER> abilities to distract and confuse <PRO_HISHER> enemies, cavorting madly during combat. Do not mistake <PRO_HIMHER> for a true fool, however, as <PRO_HESHE> can also be quite deadly.
TAUNT: The jester can use taunt against any creature within 30' that can hear <PRO_HIMHER> and that has greater than animal intelligence. If the creature fails a save vs. spell, they become enraged and resort to melee, disregarding all tactics, possibly even mistakenly attacking their own allies in a fit of rage.
This effect lasts for 1 round, +1 round per 3 levels of the jester. Further, the target suffers a penalty to their save for every three levels of the jester.
The jester cannot taunt a creature more than once in a given encounter. Whether or not they save, targets are immune to further taunting effects for 8 hours.
BUFFOONERY/JESTING: The jester is a master at using humor and buffoonery to lighten the mood, buffering <PRO_HISHER> allies against harmful magics and effects, often by telling timely jokes at the expense of <PRO_HISHER> enemies.
While using this performance, the Jester takes advantage of distracted enemies effectively gaining a +2 bonus to AC. This bonus increases by +1 per 5 levels the jester has attained (maximum +6 at 20th level).
At 1st level, allies gain a +1 bonus to saves, while enemies must save each round vs. wands with a +2 bonus or become enraged (as taunt above) for 1 round. Every 5 levels the jester has attained, the save bonus increases by +1 and enemies suffer a -1 penalty to this save (max +5/-5 at 20th level).
At 10th level, allies recover from , and are immune to, fear and charm effects while the jester is performing. <PRO_HISHER> enemies must make a save vs. paralysis each round (in addition to the save vs. enrage) or become confused for 1 round. Enemies gain a -1 penalty to this save at levels 15 and 20.
\page
SKALD: This Nordic Bard is also a warrior of great strength, skill, and virtue; <PRO_HISHER> songs are inspiring sagas of battle and valor, and the Skald devotes <PRO_HISHER> life to those pursuits.
BATTLESONG: ?
1st level: Grants allies a +2 bonus to hit and damage rolls, and a +2 bonus to AC.
15th level: Grants allies a +4 bonus to hit and damage rolls, a +4 bonus to AC, and immunity to fear.
20th level: Grants allies a +4 bonus to hit and damage rolls, a +4 bonus to AC, and immunity to fear, stun, and confusion.

Description
Also see the Turn Bonus by Charisma, Spontaneous Casting, Cleric Weapon Training and Cleric Armor Training components in the 'extra' class modifications. Note that if users install spontaneous casting and any cleric revision, it is recommended that they select the option to Replace Domain spells with Spontaneous casting for balance reasons unless they also install Cleric Armor Training.
This component will install the 'conservative' cleric revision. The overall changes to the Cleric class are minimal, as the cleric is a pretty good class as it is. However, there are a number of optional 'extra' classes that the user is invited to check out (See below). The Conservative changes are as follows (see the revised descriptions below for more detail):
The introduction of Domain Spells (And/or spontaneous casting) to increase versatility of the cleric.
All clerics can specialize (++) in any fighting style except two weapon fighting.
New Spells. The cleric, for the most part, is defined by their spells. As such, one way to improve the class is to give them better spells.
\page
CLERIC: The Cleric is an adventuring priest who does not exclusively worship a single deity, but venerates the pantheon as a whole, . <PRO_HESHE> understands that no single deity can or should represent every important aspect of life. Rather, each deity has their place, their portfolios contributing to a whole that is greater than any single part. As such, these clerics are particularly versatile as they can petition different deities for spells on different occasions, though they lack the power that only a specialist can wield.
Prime Requisites For Dual-Classing: Wisdom
^Domain spells can be swapped out for Spontaneous Casting (See below).
Domain Spells
Here is a list of each spell that the cleric can cast once per day for each selected sphere. Note that in some instances, a character will gain the ability to cast a single spell more than once. Also note that in some instances, different spells will be available depending on cleric alignment.

Description
Also see the Performance Fatigue component in the 'extra' class modifications. That component was originally meant to be a part of all Fighter revisions, at least Barbarian and Berserker Revisions, but I decided to separate it out as that might be too extreme of a change for some.
This component will install the 'conservative' fighter revision. The overall changes to the Fighter class are as follows (see the revised descriptions below for more detail):
Fighting Stances: Fighters will be able to employ fighting stances to change up their attack strategies. Stances are mutually exclusive abilities that enhance combat ability in some way, but often at the expense of other combat abilities. See individual Stance descriptions. All fighters and fighter kits will have some access to some kits, though the base fighter will have a larger diversity of stances to choose from.
Weapon Versatility: Base fighters will be able to use many different kinds of weapons competently.
Working Notes
Class Features:
STANCE DESCRIPTIONS REVISE
Compatibility Notes:
B_Proficiencies: Weapon Versatility Applies to All Weapon Proficiencies as well as Armor and Miscellaneous proficiency. (Obviously, will not apply to non-weapon proficiencies.)
\page
\page
If this tweak is installed, either the Bard Song or the Shaman Dance or both cause 1 point of fatigue for each round the character performs. Fatigue caused by performing recovers after 1 turn.
If installed for other class abilities, fatigue will only accrue by 1 point per use. Typically, this fatigue lasts until the character rests as normal.
When the character reaches 7 points of fatigue, they gain the 'fatigued' condition.
This component is meant to coincide with the revisions to the various classes presented in this mod as a kind of balance, but I decided to separate it out as that might be too extreme of a change for some.
This component only adds performance fatigue to the Bard Song and not to the Shaman Dance.
This component only adds performance fatigue to the Shaman Dance and not to the Bard Song.
This component adds performance fatigue to both the Shaman Dance and the Bard Song.
This component imposes 1 point of fatigue whenever the Enrage Class feature is used.
This component imposes 1 point of fatigue whenever the Rage Class feature is used.
This component imposes 1 point of fatigue whenever the Rage or Enrage Class feature is used.
This component imposes 1 point of fatigue whenever the Rage or Enrage Class feature is used.
This component adds performance fatigue to both the Shaman Dance and the Bard Song.
This component will allow unique spell lists for all arcane classes and kits.
Turn Undead: This group of components modifies the turn undead level of characters based on their charisma. There are three subcomponents described below. The turn level modification is as follows:
Charisma Value | Turn modification |
---|---|
18 to 19 | +1 |
20 to 22 | +2 |
23+ | +3 |
This component will modify priests' and paladins' turn undead level by their current charisma as per the table above.
This component will modify only priests' turn undead level by their current charisma as per the table above.
This component will modify only paladins' turn undead level by their current charisma as per the table above.
\page
This group of components adds (thief-like) class skills to the game or modifies class skill points to be distributed differently, or allows other classes to perform them where possible.
This component adds the appraisal skill to the game. This skill works like Lore, and its value is identical to lore. The main difference is that players can add to this skill if they can distribute skill points as the thief. Thieves get access to this skill, as do bards if they can distribute their skill points (see below). See the next section for skill descriptions. The base skill is as normal for Lore.
These components add the performance skill to the game. There are two versions of this component: a version that gives the skill to Bards only, and one that gives it to bards and thieves. The performance skill allows characters to use magical instruments and gives them skill at bardic performance. See the next section--'Extra descriptions--for details.
This component adds the performance skill, and gives it to rogues. The base skill for bards is 30% (15% for blades). Most Bards gain +5% per level (Blades gain 3% per level) unless they gain the ability to distribute (in which case, they can allot points to performance as they see fit). The Base skill for thieves is 0%.
This component adds the barter skill to the game. This skill allows the character to barter with merchants and others to get better prices on goods, and sometimes better rewards for quests, etc. See the next section for skill descriptions. The base skill is 0% and is available to thieves and bards. Bards gain 3% per level if they cannot distribute skill points as thieves (otherwise, they can increase the skill ask they like).
These components add the use scrolls skill to the game. Both thieves and bards have access to this skill. There are three versions of this component: a version that does not allow thieves progression in this skill until 10th level, a version that allows thieves access to this skill at 1st level, and a version that allows rogues to use scrolls starting at 10th level that does not make use of skill points.
This component adds the use scrolls skill, and gives it to both bards and thieves. This component restricts characters from putting points into the skill until 10th level. At 10th level, bards (except skalds and blades) have 20% in this skill. If they cannot distribute skills as a thief, they gain gain 2% in use scrolls per level. At 10th level, thieves have no skill in use scrolls. Note that this skill only applies to cleric scrolls for bards (as they can already use mage scrolls).
This component adds the use scrolls skill, and gives it to both bards and thieves. Bards (not skalds or blades) gain 2% per level in this skill if they cannot distribute skills as a thief.
Note: This component is likely to imbalance the game. Note that this skill only applies to cleric scrolls for bards (as they can already use mage scrolls).
This component adds the use scrolls skill, and gives it to both bards and thieves. Beginning at 10th level, bards (not skalds or blades) and thieves can use mage and/or cleric scrolls of 1st level (and 0 level if they exist in the game). They can use a scroll of 1 level higher ever two levels thereafter (i.e. level 2 scrolls at 12th level, 3rd level scrolls at 14th level, etc.). Note that this skill only applies to cleric scrolls for bards (as they can already use mage scrolls).
\page
This component adds the set natural snares skill to the game and gives a progression to rangers. Additionally, it gives the special ability to rangers at a set rate. Set natural snares works like the thief's set snares ability, but it only works in natural environments. See the next section--'Extra' Descriptions--for details. Rangers gain proficiency in set natural snares equal to their stealth skill.
This component gives all characters a chance, if small, to search for traps (if not disable them). Every class gets a base 5% chance to detect traps (modified by dexterity--or otherwise--as normal).
This component makes a few changes to the standard thief skills such that rogues gain bonuses (and penalties) to these skills based off of attributes other than dexterity. See the next section for details.
This component restricts scroll use more than the vanilla game. As normal, creatures can only use scroll types of spells that they can cast. They are further restricted, however, in that they can only use scrolls if they can cast spells of the level of spell that is on the spell. So, for example, a creature can only use a fireball scroll if they can cast 3rd level mage spells.
\page
This section describes the 'extra' features in more detail.
Why should dexterity help a thief detect illusions or traps? Why wouldn't a high intelligence help a thief figure out how to read a scroll? This table describes both the changes to the base thief skills (e.g. component 1604) and the added skills (e.g. component 1602). Any skill not found in this table is unchanged (i.e. they gain dex bonuses as found in skilldex.2da).

Class revisions alter existing classes in some manner, as opposed to adding kits or interchangeable class features. Class features themselves are divided into 'Conservative' and 'Radical' versions of a given class/kit structure. This mod tries, as much as possible, to allow players to mix and match conservative and radical versions together. So, for example, a player could install conservative fighter revisions with radical bard revisions. However, players should be warned that there might be balance issues, especially when the various class features are added to the mix. We cannot account for everything. That said, we will try to note where balance issues might exist, both here and in individual class sections below.
\page
Note: The added items are identical to those added by Spells and Magic and B_Kits. However, consumable magic items--in particular scrolls and wands--work slightly differently in these three mods. These mods are completely compatible, however, and any changes will be noted in the description.
This component adds new magic items, and item creation.
Thief Kit. Increased crit and backstab like ability with ranged weapons
Has Opposition schools
Advantages:
<PRO_MASTERMISTRESS> of the dead:
<PRO_MASTERMISTRESS> of death:
Will have a number of unique spells that only they can cast
Disadvantages:
Can cast one fewer spell per level
Opposition schools: Evocation, Enchantment, Illusion
Restrictions:
Non-good alignments only
One prepared spell per level must be from the necromancy school
doable? Ask Kjeron
Will not install if KR installed
Class Features:
Note: Similar to KR version, but each stance is (potentially) permanent and mutually exclusive. Many enemies will have this applied to them so they can gain the benefits of Stances.
Note: Similar to KR, but the bonuses actually add a proficiency point (use script and invs monster)
OFFENSIVE STANCE: While in this stance, the fighter suffers a -2 penalty to AC, but gains a +2 bonus to Damage rolls. At levels 11 and 19, the fighter gains an additional +1 bonus to damage when using Offensive Stance.
DEFENSIVE STANCE: While in this stance, the fighter suffers a -2 penalty to attack rolls, but gains a +2 bonus to AC. At levels 11 and 19, the fighter gains an additional +1 bonus to AC when using Defensive Stance.
With Proficiencies Installed:
Weapon Versatility Applies to All Weapon Proficiencies as well as Armor and Miscellaneous proficiency. (Obviously, will not apply to non-weapon proficiencies.)
Will convert to a "song mage" that learns mage spells but what they do it modify the bard song.
Invisible creature that deletes vanilla versions of spells from spellbook and replaces them with special bard song
My first instinct is to check out Kit Revisions, but there aren't many suggestions to be found on thieves. The icewind dale version is a bit better than the standard, given evasion.
This component will install the 'conservative' thief revision. The overall changes to the Thief class are as follows (see the revised descriptions below for more detail):
HD: d8. (16 hp at first level)
See below for the expanded table:
Level | Base Thief | Assassin | Bounty Hunter | Swashbuckler | Shadow Dancer |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1-4 | x2 | x3 | x2 | x1 | x1 |
5-8 | x3 | x4 | x3 | x1 | x2 |
9-12 | x4 | x5 | x4 | x1 | x3 |
13-17 | x5 | x6 | x5 | x1 | x4 |
18+ | x5 | x7 | x5 | x1 | x4 |
THIEF: To accomplish one's goals, for good or ill, the Thief is a skilled pilferer. Cunning, nimbleness, and stealth are a thief's hallmarks. Whether a thief turns talent against innocent passersby and wealthy merchants or oppressors and monsters is a choice for the Thief to make.
Class Features:
ROGUE'S BAG OF TRICKS:
CONTINUE
KO: With this ability, the thief can attempt to knock out a living opponent. When <PRO_HESHE> uses this ability, select a valid target within melee range. That target must save vs. petrification or fall unconscious for 2d8 rounds.
This save is made with a penalty of -1 at levels 7, 10, 13, 17, and 20.
EVASION: When a Thief is hit by a spell that can be evaded (Fireball, Lightning Bolt, etc.), the Thief is allowed a Save vs. Breath to complete avoid the effects. If the Saving Throw is failed, the spell works normally, including a save for half damage if the spell allows for it. A helpless Thief (e.g. held, stunned, or asleep) cannot use Evasion.
Notes:
Skills & Proficiencies: The fighter's Second Wind ability is governed by the endurance proficiency or the second wind skill, if the relevant components are installed. Fighters will have more uses of the ability (i.e. they gain uses both from the relevant skill or proficiency and from their fighter class levels). Additionally, if component 101 is installed, weapon versatility also gives fighters ranks in the armor proficiency (but not any non-weapon proficiency).
A few (all?) class changes will have two versions of those changes: radical vs. conservative.
Radical changes dramatically alter a class and its kits in major ways, such that the class and its kits will play quite different compared to vanilla.
Conservative changes will keep the basic design of each class and kit roughly the same, while adding a few tweaks. Classes so far that will have radical and conservative differences:
Mage (r) no diviner, no opposed schools, except in a few cases (e.g. shadow mage and necromancer). (c) tbd
Bard (r) song mage (learns mage spells but uses them in a different way: to modify their Bard song). Song is modified for 8 hours or until a New spell is cast. (c) tbd
