Sphere Omdura Archetype

The newer and minor classes still lack Sphere archetypes. Simple casting archetypes are very easy to do, and can serve as a base to create more complex ones.

Sphere Omdura

Casting: The sphere omdura may combine spheres and talents to create magical effects. The sphere omdura is considered a Mid-Caster. (Note: All casters gain 2 bonus talents and a casting tradition the first time they gain the casting class feature.)

This replaces the spells class feature.

Spell Pool: The sphere omdura gains a small reservoir of energy she can call on to create truly wondrous effects, called a spell pool. This pool contains a number of spell points equal to her sphere omdura level + her casting ability modifier (minimum 1). This pool replenishes once per day after roughly 8 hours of rest.

Magic Talents: A sphere omdura gains ¾ths of a magic talent every level (the same progression as she gains caster levels).

Omdura Martial Tradition for Spheres of Might

 If the inquisitor can have a martial tradition of her own, then the omdura can, too.

Omdura

Part cleric, part inquisitor, an omdura is the chosen one of her deity, charged with a mission to bring peace or mete divine wrath on the mortal world.

Bonus Combat Talents:

Equipment: Armor Training, Custom Training

Duelist Sphere

Variable: An omdura gains either the Fencing sphere or a talent of her choice from the Duelist sphere.

Mastom, Beast Rider

And this is the latest build I made for my friends’ younger kid. I hope he will play it somewhere in the future.

New Aelf Favored Class Bonuses

Savie and her brother Mastom (you’ll meet him in the next posts) needed tailored favored class bonuses.

New Aelf Favored Class Bonuses

Cavalier: Add +1 foot to the cavalier's mount's base speed. This option has no effect unless the cavalier has selected it 5 times (or another increment of 5); a speed of 54 feet is effectively a speed of 50 feet, for example. If the cavalier ever replaces his mount, the new companion gains this base speed bonus.

Witch: The witch gains ⅙ of a new witch hex.

Savie, Invoker Witch

I made this build for my friends’ daughter. I used the Aelf hybrid race, that was published in previous posts here.
