Spellshaper
(Submitted by Dentack)
**************************************************************************************
To those who
use magic, no single spell can ever provide enough variety. Many strive
to find ways
to make their spells more versatile, some succeed, but most only to a
small degree.
To those who continue to strive, the answer exists. Many ways exist to
shape a spells
affects, but at the expense of sacrificing more powerful spell energy.
The
Spellshaper has learned to bolster and alter his spells through alternative means.

Before a
character can qualify for the Spellshaper prestige class, he/she must satisfy
all of the
following requirements:
Spellcraft: 8 ranks.
Feat(s): Any 3 Metamagic.
Spellcasting: Ability to cast spells of
3rd level or higher.
The
Spellshaper's class skills are:
Concentration,
Craft, Decipher Script, Diplomacy, Knowledge (arcana), Profession, Scry,
Spellcraft
Skill Points at Each Level: 2 +
Int Modifier.
Below are the
class features of the Spellshaper prestige class.
Weapon and
Armor Proficiency:
The Spellshaper
gains no additional armor or weapon proficiencies.
Bonus
Metamagic Feat: At all odd levels, the
Spellshaper’s research leads him to new
methods of
altering and bolstering his spells. As a result he may take any Metamagic
feat as a
bonus feat.
Metamagic
Revelation: At first level, the Spellshaper gains
access to the most basic
attributes of
the class. He has formed a Metamagic pool and learned to draw power
from it to
enhance his spells. From this point on, the Spellshaper can draw power
from his
metamagic pool to lower the level of any spell enhanced by a metamagic feat.
Every point
sacrificed lowers the level of the spell by 1. This ability can not lower
a spell beyond
the original level of the spell. Additionally, spell casters who do not
prepare spells
no longer suffer from increased casting time from using metamagic feats.
Caster Level
+1: When level 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 are
gained, the character gains new
spells per day
as if he had also gained a level in a spellcasting class he belonged to
before adding
the prestige class. He does not, however, gain any other benefit a
character of
that class would have gained, except for an increased effective level of
spellcasting
and spells known if the class learns it’s spells. If a character had more
then one
spellcasting class before becoming a Spellshaper, he must decide to which
class he adds
the new level of purposes of detmining spells per day.
Metamagic Pool: This is the size of the Metamagic Pool the Spellshaper has at any
given
level. The
Metamagic Pool is refilled at the same time as spells are prepared, and
spells per day
are restored.
Metamagic
Reduction: Any spell which is enhanced by a metamagic
feat automatically has
its spell
level reduced by one. This affect can not reduce a spells level below what it
was before it
was enhanced by a metamagic feat. Application of multiple metamagic feats
to a single
spell do NOT reduce the spell multiple times. i.e. If a spell is enhanced
by both Still Spell
and Silent Spell, this will remove the level increase from Still
Spell, but the level increase from Silent Spell will still occur as normal.
