Reaper Spirit

A shaman who selects the reaper spirit appears skinny and gaunt, with white skin, white hair and eyes strangely sunken and circled of dark. Her voice may be booming with a sense of doom or low and raucous like sandpaper.

Spirit Magic Spells: chill touch (1st), calm spirit (2nd), sands of time (3rd), purge spirit (4th), slay living (5th), undeath to death (6th), destruction (7th), horrid withering (8th), wail of the banshee (9th).

Hexes: A shaman who chooses the Reaper spirit can select from the following hexes.

Death's Embrace (Su): The shaman gains Improved Grapple as a bonus feat, even if she does not meet its prerequisites. Once per round when the shaman succeeds at a grapple combat maneuver check, she can deal 1d6 points of negative energy damage to the target of her grapple. This damage increases by 1d6 at 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter, to a maximum of 5d6 at 20th level.

Life Sight (Ex): The shaman can see the states of life, death, and general health of those around her. When she uses this ability, she can tell whether or not creatures within 30 feet of her that she can see are living, wounded, dying, or dead. She can also tell if those creatures are confused, disabled, diseased, nauseated, poisoned, sickened or staggered. At 12th level, when using life sight she is able to sense all nearby living creatures; this functions similar to blindsight, but only for living creatures within 30 feet of her. At 20th level, the radius of this ability increases to 60 feet. The shaman can use life sight a number of rounds per day equal to her shaman level, but these rounds do not need to consecutive.

Moral Crisis (Su): As a standard action, the shaman can target a living creature within 30 feet of her, reminding it of its moral failings. The target must succeed at a Will save or be staggered for a number of rounds equal to the shaman’s level. The target can attempt a new saving throw at the end of each of its turns to end this effect. This is a mind-affecting emotion effect. A creature affected by this hex cannot be affected by it again for 24 hours.

Rest In Peace (Sp): By touching a creature, the shaman makes its repose more fruitful and refreshing. This works as gentle repose on corpses and restful sleep on living creatures. Both effects last 1 day. A creature affected by this hex cannot be affected by it again for 24 hours.

Ward of Oblivion (Su): A shaman touches a willing creature (including herself ) and grants a ward of oblivion. For a number of rounds equal to the shaman’s level, no creature can perceive the target unless it succeeds at a Perception skill check. At 8th level, the ward lasts for 1 minute. At 16th level, the ward lasts for 1 hour. Once the ward of oblivion ends, the creature cannot be the target of the hex again for 24 hours.

Spirit Animal: The shaman’s spirit animal appears mostly devoid of color and faintly glowing, as an otherworldly vision. The creature gains spiritsense in a 60 ft. radius, as the psychopomp ability.

Spirit Ability: A shaman who chooses the Reaper spirit as her spirit or wandering spirit gains the following ability.

Voice of Doom (Su): As a standard action, the shaman can speak with the authority of inevitable doom, dealing 1d4 points of sonic damage + 1 for every 2 shaman levels she possesses to one creature within 30 feet. A creature failing its saving throw is also shaken for 1 round. A shaman can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + her Charisma modifier. At 11th level, any weapon that the shaman wields is treated as a disruption weapon.

Greater Spirit Ability: A shaman who chooses the Reaper spirit as her spirit or wandering spirit gains the following ability upon having access to the greater version of that spirit.

Pale Horse (Sp): The shaman can summon a phantom steed, as the spell, to serve her for a number of hours per day equal to her shaman level. This duration does not need to be consecutive, but it must be spent in 1-hour increments.

True Spirit Ability: A shaman who chooses the Reaper spirit as her spirit or wandering spirit gains the following ability upon having access to the true version of that spirit.

Obliterate Memory (Sp): As a standard action, twice per day, the shaman can target a creature within 30 feet and eliminate all memory of an event the target experienced, as modify memory. A target can attempt a Will save to negate this effect. In addition, the shaman can cause an account of the memory erased by this ability to appear on a blank page of any book she is carrying.

Manifestation: Upon 20th level, the shaman becomes a true reaper of death: no soul can escape her sight,while she escapes the sight of everyone. She automatically confirm critical hits and creatures automatically fail Fortitude saves against her coup de grace attempts. In addition, she can cast impenetrable veil on herself only once per day as a spell-like ability.

Passion Spirit (from Everybody Games)

A while ago, I co-authored the Book of Passion for Misfit Studios, that featured, among the other things, a Passion oracle mystery and shaman spirit. But I also created a different Passion mystery for Everybody Games, and that one was not made into a spirit. So... now it has.

Passion Spirit

A shaman who selects the passion spirit shows supernatural beauty, youth and grace. Her voice is soothing and enticing, her eyes sparkle, and her skin is always soft and smooth, almost glowing when she invokes one of her spirit’s abilities.

Spirit Magic Spells: charm person (1st), reckless infatuation (2nd), mantle of calm (3rd), matchmaker (4th), serenity (5th), symbol of persuasion (6th), waves of ecstasy (7th), symbol of debauchery (8th), overwhelming presence (18th).

Hexes: A shaman who chooses the Passion spirit can select from the following hexes.

Curse of Infatuation (Su): The shaman causes one creature within 30 feet to feel an unquenchable desire for another real or imaginary creature. The object of desire has not to be present for the curse to have effect. The victim can’t think of nothing else but its acute yearning, crying and uttering love oaths, being effectively stunned for a number of rounds equal to the shaman’s level.

Desire Sight (Sp): As a standard action, the shaman can learn the desires of any creature she can see within 100 feet, as if she had concentrated until the third round of detect desires. The shaman can use this ability once per day at 1st level, plus one additional time per day at 5th level and for every 5 levels thereafter.

Love Token (Su): Once per day the shaman can exchange gifts with one willing creature, bonding their souls together. These gifts must be paired, such as exchanging rings, flowers, or earrings. While the shaman and the other creature are both wearing these gifts, the shaman can concentrate on the subject as a full-round action to learn the creature’s direction and relative distance from her, provided both are on the same plane. The shaman may have only one love token active at a time.

Shield of Splendor (Su): The shaman’s beauty radiates in the form of a palpable shield that protects her from harm. The shaman adds her Charisma modifier (instead of her Dexterity modifier) to her Armor Class and CMD. Any condition that would cause the shaman to lose or be denied her Dexterity bonus to Armor Class instead causes her to lose her Charisma bonus, and any armor she wears inhibits the number of points of Charisma that the shaman can add to her Armor Class instead of her Dexterity.

Universal Fascination (Su): The shaman chooses one creature type of subtype from the ranger’s list of favored enemies. Any charm and compulsion spells the shaman knows that normally affect a type of creature only can now affect the chosen creatures. At 7th level and every 4 levels thereafter, the shaman can select another type or subtype of creature to affect with her enchantments.

Spirit Animal: The shaman’s spirit animal looks like a perfect specimen of its species, with lustrous fur or feathers, gleaming eyes and a soft, captivating voice. The animal gains Diplomacy as a class skill and can use the hypnotism occult skill unlock as if it had the Psychic Sensitivity feat.

Spirit Ability: A shaman who chooses the Passion spirit as her spirit or wandering spirit gains the following ability.

Burst of Passion (Su): The shaman uses positive or negative energy to incite emotions in others. Whenever the shaman casts a cure spell, she can add the effects of one mercy of her choice among those available to a 3rd-level paladin to the spell. Whenever the shaman casts an inflict spell, she can add the effects of one cruelty of her choice among the ones available to a 3rd-level antipaladin to the spell. At 8th level and then at 12th level, the shaman can select another mercy or cruelty, as a paladin or antipaladin of her shaman level.

Greater Spirit Ability: A shaman who chooses the Passion spirit as her spirit or wandering spirit gains the following ability upon having access to the greater version of that spirit.

Unwavering Love (Su): The shaman gains a +3 insight bonus on saves against charm and compulsion spells and effects. In addition, as a standard action she can radiate a rosy-gold aura of supernatural beauty in a 10-foot radius. Opponents attempting to directly attack the shaman must succeed on a Will save or be unable to follow through with the attack, functioning as sanctuary. Additionally, any creature who is (or could be) romantically or sexually attracted to the shaman must make a Will save each round that it begins its turn within 10 feet of her or become fascinated by her beauty for 1 round. This effect lasts 1 minute.The shaman can use this ability three times per day, but she must wait 1d4 rounds between each use.

True Spirit Ability: A shaman who chooses the Passion spirit as her spirit or wandering spirit gains the following ability upon having access to the true version of that spirit.

Incarnation of Love (Sp): Once per day, the shaman can assume an exalted and perfect form for a number of rounds equal to her shaman level. This works as greater angelic aspect, regardless of the shaman’s level (an evil shaman would be protected against good rather than evil). Furthermore, the shaman gains a +2 bonus on Charisma for the effect’s duration.

Manifestation: Upon reaching 20th level, the shaman transforms into love personified. Her type changes to outsider (augmented) and she gains DR 10/magic and cold iron. The shaman retains all subtypes she previously possessed, and can still be brought back from the dead as if she were a member of her previous creature type. Furthermore, the shaman gains immunity to age effects that she is not a willing target of, and gains greater age resistance as a constant spell-like ability. At will, the shaman can transform into an idealized version of herself, functioning as threefold aspect except all bonuses gained are sacred or profane bonuses (depending on the shaman’s alignment), and the shaman does not take any penalties from the spell’s effect. Finally, the shaman can designate a number of creatures up to her Charisma bonus that she shares a mutual and willing platonic or romantic relationship with. Designated creatures gain all of the benefits of this manifestation except the DR. The shaman can end this effect for a given creature as a free action, but only if that creature defaces their mutual relationship.

Pale Rider Oracle Archetype

When I was creating the stats of Susan Death for one of my monthly patrons-only post, this was one attempt I made to recreate her powers in Pathfinder. It wasn’t the one I used in the end, but it deserves to be published anyway. Maybe you can use it!

Duskwalker Favored Class Bonuses, Corrected

When I made my first post on Duskwalker FCBs, the official Paizo ones weren’t out yet. When they did come out, some of them (prevedibly) covered the same classes I had chosen...
So I made this new version! If you want, though, you can surely keep my earlier FCBs as alternatives to Paizo FCBs for the classes I removed.

Mythic Zealot Archetype Options

Rogue Genius Games and Legendary Games released mythic class features for all the classes from Pathfinder 1st Edition, plus some archetypes and prestige classes (some of them were by yours truly). Personally I think that mythic archetype features are a HUGE idea, but how many chances there are that we see each Pathfinder archetype mythicized?
Well, I’m doing some myself! And this work also will help me with the newest version of a character I love so much... so enjoy the Mythic Zealot Vigilante!

New P2 Druid Order: Sacred

In Pathfinder 2nd Edition, one of the things I miss are druids with cleric domains. Let’s see if this new druidic order can fix that.
This post already appeared for patrons only on my Patreon page. If you wish to see stuff in advance and have access to other rewards, please consider donating!

Sacred

You are devoted to one specific deity and act as a priest of nature. You are trained in Religion and your deity’s divine skill. You also gain the Domain Initiate cleric feat (treating the initial domain spell as an order spell), and may select Advanced Domain as a druid feat. You become trained in your deity’s favored weapon, and you increase the number of Focus Points in your focus pool by 1. You are bound by your deity’s anathema as a cleric.
