CLASS FEATURES
All the following are class features of the scroll binder prestige class.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Scroll binders gain no proficiency with any weapon, armor or shield.
Spellcasting, Invocations or Infusions: etc... etc...
Master Scribe: A scroll binder may reduce the monetary and experience point cost (to a minimum of 1) for scribing scrolls by percentage indicated for her current class level, but she must still provide any focus, material components and experience cost inherit to the scribed spell itself.
Imbued Libram: To hold and protect her spell scrolls, a scroll binder may imbue and enhance one book or tome in a ritual that takes 8 hours and costs 50gp per hit point the libram will possess. To advance the libram with each class level, additional rituals must be performed and the difference in cost must be paid. (see advancement table below)
  An imbued libram saves as a magic item with a caster level equal to 2 + three times its master's class level. A scroll binder may only have one imbued libram at a time. If her libram is broken, destroyed or discarded, a new libram may be imbued to take its place. If the libram's master dies, it loses all its special abilities for as long as the master remains deceased.
Read Magic (Sp): A scroll binder gains read magic as a spell-like ability, usable at will.
Deft Reader: Starting at 2nd level, a scroll binder gains a bonus to her caster level when casting a spell from any scroll, be it arcane or divine. This bonus equals half her class level (rounded down). She also gains an equal bonus on saving throws, dispel checks and skill checks involving spells and effects that are based on glyphs, runes, sigils, signs or symbols or any form of magical writing.
Scroll Affinity: Starting at 3rd level, a scroll binder may take a 10 on any Concentration check required to cast a spell from a scroll.
Swift Scribe: Upon reaching 4th level, henceforth any scroll scribed by the scroll binder takes only one day to create.

IMBUED LIBRAM ADVANCEMENT

Class Level	Added Hardness	Added Hit Points	Capacity	Special
1st	5	15	150	Bind Scrolls, Perfect Seal
2nd	6	18	200	Self Repair, Spell Affinity
3rd	8	24	250	Sense Location, Pocket Size
4th	10	30	300	Hands Free
5th	12	36	400	Sequester
6th	15	45	500	Return

Added Hardness (Ex): An imbued libram's hardness improves by the listed amount.

Added Hit Points (Ex): An imbued libram's hit points increase by the listed amount.

Capacity (Ex): The imbued libram may contain this number of spells worth of scrolls.

Bind Scrolls (Su): As a move action, any number of scrolls placed and closed within the libram are instantaneously bound within, both physically and magically, with a separate page for each spell. Only the libram's master may cast a spell from a scroll bound within, and when she does so the libram automatically flips to the desired scroll as part of the same action. Only the libram's master may release a scroll bound within without having to destroy the libram itself, and may release any number of them as an immediate or move (mental) action, but only when touching the libram.

Perfect Seal (Ex): As long as an imbued libram has at least 1 hit point remaining, all scrolls bound within remain undamaged and unsoiled, even if submersed in liquids or exposed to energy damage while the libram is left open. Scrolls bound within cannot be defaced, erased, torn, crumpled or ripped out as long as the libram survives.  If the libram is broken, destroyed or replaced by another libram, it loses all special abilities and all scrolls bound within are released.

Self Repair (Su): The libram recovers hit points every hour equal to half its master's class level (rounded down).
Spell Affinity (Ex): An imbued libram is immune to any damage caused by spells and effects that are based on glyphs, runes, sigils, signs or symbols or any form of magical writing.

Sense Location (Su): By concentrating for a full round, the libram's master knows the direction and distance to her libram, so long as it is on the same plane.

Pocket Size (Su): As a free or immediate (mental) action, a scroll binder within 60 feet of her imbued libram may command it to shrink down or return to its normal size, in a manner equivalent to the effect of a shrink item spell.

Hands Free (Su): The libram's master may let go of it as a free or immediate action, such that it hovers close nearby, allowing her to use it without holding it in her hands. The animated libram moves with its master, sharing her space and acting in every other way as if she were holding it normally. The libram itself also gains a dodge bonus to AC equal to its master's class level while hovering in this manner.

Sequester (Su): As a free or immediate (mental) action, a scroll binder within 60 feet of her imbued libram may command it to conceal itself in a manner equivalent to the effect of a sequester spell, except that only the libram's master can perceive it normally and locate it via divination effects that she herself casts. She may dismiss this effect as a free or immediate (mental) action.

Return (Su): The libram's master may mentally summon it to her hand as a move action, so long as it is on the same plane. When summoned in this way, the libram simply appears anywhere within the master's reach as he or she desires, even if the libram is in the possession of another creature. Any effect covering the libram or its master that prevents teleportation also blocks this ability.

Defiant Defender PrC

CLASS FEATURES

All the following are class features of the defiant defender prestige class.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Defiant defenders gain no proficiency with any weapon, armor or shield. 

Defensive Harrier (Ex): As far as a defiant defender sees fit, any number of opponents he threatens suffer a penalty equal to his class level on all skill checks, as well as on all attack rolls made against targets other than the defiant defender himself and his gear. For each size category an opponent holds over the defiant defender, the penalty they suffer is reduced by 1 to a minimum of 0. Opponents become aware of this effect while they are aware of being threatened.

Battle Reactive (Ex): A defiant defender gains a bonus to initiative equal to his class level. He may also add the same number to the amount of attacks of opportunity he can make in one round.

Steady (Ex): Whenever a defiant defender uses a standard action to perform or ready a move action or any other action that involves making a melee attack roll, he may then assume the penalties and benefits of fighting defensively until the start of his next turn. Any penalty a defiant defender suffers on attacks of opportunity due to fighting defensively, is reduced by an amount equal to half his class level (rounded down).

    Alternatively, if the standard action is used to perform or ready a move action only, the defiant defender may then assume the penalties and benefits of a total defense (instead of fighting defensively) and still make attacks of opportunity at a -10 penalty, reducing that penalty by an amount equal to his class level.

    In either case, a defiant defender with the Combat Expertise feat, may use it as part of this ability.

    A readied action occurs just before the action that triggered it, and if the triggering action then provokes an attack of opportunity from the defiant defender, he may make that attack of opportunity normally.

Holding Ground (Ex): Starting at 2nd level, a defiant defender gains a bonus equal to half his class level (rounded down) on Escape Artist checks and on opposed rolls to escape a grapple, avoid a sunder attempt, and to resist bull rush, overrun, feint, demoralize, disarm and trip attempts made against him. In addition, the defiant defender gains an equal dodge bonus to AC against charge attacks and attacks of opportunity made against him.

Elude Touch (Ex): Starting at 2nd level, a defiant defender's instincts begin to supersede his intellect, alerting him to danger from touch attacks (including rays). He gains a bonus to Armor Class against all touch attacks equal to half his class level (rounded down); however, his touch AC can never exceed his Armor Class against normal attacks.

Mean Lunge (Ex): By 2nd level, a defiant defender may use the Intimidate or Perform (weapon drill) skill as a move action, in an attempt to demoralize a single foe he threatens. This effect lasts for a number of rounds equal to half his class level (rounded down) or until the affected foe witnesses the defiant defender rendered helpless or dead. This is a mind-affecting ability that does not stack.

None Shall Pass (Ex): Starting at 3rd level, whenever a defiant defender deals physical damage to an opponent with a melee attack of opportunity that the opponent provoked by moving through the area threatened by the defiant defender, the defiant defender may try and stop that opponent in its tracks.

    If the defiant defender so wishes, the opponent struck must make a Reflex save (DC equals his class level + the number of feats he has from the list of bonus fighter feats + the damage dealt). The opponent gets a +4 bonus on the save for each size category it holds over the defiant defender or a -2 penalty for each size category the defiant defender holds over it. If the opponent fails the save, it loses the remainder of its action.

    Alternatively, the defiant defender may attempt a trip attack when using an attack of opportunity that the opponent provoked by moving through the area threatened by the defiant defender. In this case, the defiant defender may use the opponent's momentum to his advantage, gaining a circumstance bonus equal to half his class level (rounded down), on the opposed ability check he makes when trying to trip the opponent.

None Shall Flee (Ex): Starting at 3rd level, any opponent threatened by a defiant defender, that takes any sort of movement, even a 5-ft step, provokes an attack of opportunity from him. Opponents may not use the withdraw action to treat the square they start in as no longer threatened by such a defiant defender.

Proactive (Ex): Starting at 3rd level, a defiant defender's initiative count does not change when taking a readied action.

Defensive Bulwark (Ex): By 4th level, a defiant defender has improved his ability to hamper foes that try to move around him, such that all opponents treat the area he threatens as difficult terrain (movement costs are doubled in those squares).

Interference (Ex): Starting at 4th level, before the defiant defender knows the result of a physical attack that he can perceive passing through or occurring within the area he threatens, be it melee or ranged, the defiant defender may use a melee attack of opportunity in an attempt to knock it off course. If the defiant defender's attack roll exceeds the incoming attack roll, the incoming attack roll must be rolled again, using the new result only if it is less than the previous result.

    For each size category the enemy attacker holds over the defiant defender, the defiant defender suffers a -4 penalty on his attack of opportunity when using this ability. Unusually massive weapons (such as boulders or ballista bolts) and attacks that don't involve a solid object or missile can't be affected. Attacks from incorporeal and ethereal enemies can't be affected unless the defiant defender possess a means of striking them with the attack of opportunity this ability allows, in which case he may suffer a miss chance (or not, if using a Ghost Touch weapon or wielding a force effect modeled after a melee weapon).

Sure Grasp (Ex): Starting at 4th level, if a defiant defender becomes stunned or panicked, he may choose not to drop whatever he is holding.

Fearsome Display (Ex): Starting at 5th level, whenever a defiant defender uses a standard action to perform or ready his Mean Lunge ability, the ability may be used against a maximum number of foes he threatens, equal to the number of feats he has from the list of fighter bonus feats.

Loyalty (Ex): By 5th level, a defiant defender may roll his saving throw twice against any mind-affecting attack or effect, and take the better result. Defiant defenders with a natural immunity to mind-affecting effects instead gain turn resistance equal to half their class level (rounded down).

Contingency Plans (Ex): By 5th level, a defiant defender has mastered the task of mentally rehearsing the moves he will make should circumstances change at a moment's notice.

  As a standard action, he may ready a standard, move action or swift action.

  As a move action, he may ready a move action or swift action.

  As a swift action, he may ready a swift action.

  The defiant defender may have multiple readied actions available at any one time, but only one of them may be allowed to occur just before a single triggering action. Only after one of the readied actions is taken, and its triggering action is then resolved, may the other readied action(s) be taken at that time or remain readied to possibly be triggered later during the round.

    A readied action occurs just before the action that triggered it, and if the triggering action then provokes an attack of opportunity from the defiant defender, he may make that attack of opportunity normally.

Impetuous Endurance (Ex): A 6th level defiant defender does not automatically fail a saving throw on a roll of 1. He still fails the save, however, if his result fails to overcome the save's DC.

Intercept Style (Ex): At 6th level, whenever a defiant defender uses a standard action to ready a move action for the purpose of movement, he may use that readied action any number of times during the round, until the sum of movement it provides equals what he can get from a single move action, or until an event occurs in which he would normally lose an entire move action. For movement that involves a check of some kind, the check must be made each time this particular readied action is used.

    A readied action occurs just before the action that triggered it, and if the triggering action then provokes an attack of opportunity from the defiant defender, he may make that attack of opportunity normally.

• Mettle (Ex): The tarrasque can resist magical and unusual attacks with great willpower or fortitude. If it makes a successful Will or Fortitude save against an attack that normally would have a lesser effect on a successful save (such as any spell with a saving throw entry of Will half or Fortitude partial), it instead completely negates the effect.

• Reaving Strikes (Ex): The tarrasque's natural weapons ignore any damage reduction that can be overcome by any metallic material, such as silver, cold iron or adamantine.
• Rend (Ex): If the tarrasque hits with both claw attacks, it latches onto the opponent’s body and tears the flesh. This attack automatically deals an additional 8d6+25 points of damage.

Consumptive Field
Necromancy [Death, Evil]
Level: Cleric 4

Components: V, S,
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Area: 30-ft.-radius spherical emanation, centered on you
Duration: 1 round/level (D)
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes

  You draw forth the ebbing life force of all nearby badly wounded creatures and use it to fuel your own power.

  All creatures in the area with fewer than 0 hit points that fail their saving throws die, and you may add 1 temporary essence point per death caused by this spell. Creatures that fall to -1 hit points or lower in the area after the spell is cast are likewise subject to its effect. No creature can be affected by this spell more than once per casting, regardless of the number of times that the area of the spell passes over them.
  Whenever you cast another spell while this spell lasts, you may expend 1 or more essence points as an additional component to increase the caster level of that spell by the same amount. Doing so adds the evil descriptor to that spell.

  Once this spell expires, all unspent essence points gained from it are lost.
