Sabotage!

            Greetings!  This week I have another custom class for you called the Saboteur.  This class is like an “anti-bard” in that it focuses on de-buffing your opponents rather than buffing your party.  The Saboteur does this by using a series of spell-like abilities that not only de-buff the opponent’s base stats, but also inflict status ailments like poison or temporary paralysis. 
So without further delay, I present to you the Saboteur!

Class Features

Weapon and Armor Proficiency
Saboteurs are proficient with all Simple and Martial, Bludgeoning weapons. Saboteurs are proficient with medium and light armor, but not shields.

Spell-Like Abilities
Saboteurs may use their spell like abilities as much as they please so long as they got a full night’s sleep and focused their energies for one hour.  One hour of meditation gives the Saboteur 12 hours of free casting (cannot have more than 12 hours of charges).  A Saboteur may meditate whenever she desires, but if for whatever reason it is done in combat she is considered to be helpless and viable to be coup de graced.  Regardless, a Saboteur must meditate at least 5 minutes (1 hour of casting) to gain spell like abilities.
Saboteur’s abilities are based off their Intelligence modifier and the spell DC = 10 + ½ class level (rounded down) + int modifier.  Casting any Saboteur ability is a full round action.

Searing Mist
Acts exactly the same as the spell Obscuring Mist, but anyone who walks through the mist must make a Will save with a DC check equal to 10 + ½ class level (rounded down) + int modifier or take 1d4 damage for each round spent inside the mist.  Even if the individual makes the save, it is still uncomfortable to be in the mist.  For every 5th Saboteur level the damage goes up by 1d4 maxing out at 5d4 at level 20.

The Saboteur gains the ability to alter a 30 by 30 foot square of terrain in front of her into temporary rough terrain that halves the movement speed of any enemy crossing the terrain.  In addition, the enemy must make a Fortitude check with a DC equal to 10 + ½ class level (rounded down) + int modifier or will trip while running through the terrain.  The ability cannot trip an intentionally walking carefully enemy.  For every 5th Saboteur level the area of the terrain increases by 10 feet maxing out at 70 square feet.

Drain

Cripple

Pit Fall
The Saboteur gains the ability to create a 5 foot wide by 10 foot deep hole that lasts for 10 rounds.  The hole cannot be place directly underneath an individual.  At the end of the hole’s duration, any individual who may have been trapped inside, will immediately be removed from the hole as it closes.

Paralysis Strike
The Saboteur’s physical attacks now are able to cause paralysis for 1 round (in addition to the Poison Strike damage). To avoid the Paralysis, the individual must make a Fortitude save DC 14. 

Improved Trip
At level 4 the Saboteur gains the Improved Trip Feat even if she does not meet the requirements for the feat.  This feat does not apply to the Saboteur’s Stumbling Terrain ability.

Improved Disarm

Until Next Week!
