Mechanik’s Union

I play a Gentleperson/Gun Mage in the fairly non-canon IK game I play in.

The class was created in an effort to create a Richard Burtonesque (not the actor…) type of class with elements of diplomacy and good social skills. The English gentleman-explorer type. Not a powerful charcter, but it can be a joy to play!

The Gentleperson was created by my friend, and professional miniature sculptor, Clint Staples.

Proficiencies: light medium and heavy armour, and simple and martial weapons.

Hit die: d6

Skills: 4 x (6+1/int bonus) 1st level | 6+1/int bonus subsequent levels

Class Skills: Appraise (int), Bluff (cha), Climb (st), Decipher script (int), Diplomacy (cha), Heal (wis), Innuendo (wis), Know (arcana) (int), Know (Religion) (int), Know (history) (int), Know (geography) (int), Listen (wis), Perform (cha), Profession (int), Ride (dex), Swim (str), Craft Small Arms (dex)

Natural Charm: 1/day you can reroll a failed social roll to the result.

Skill Focus (Know): You gain skill focus with a single knowledge skill you possess.

Bonus language you learn a new language subject to DM approval.

Co-ordinate teamwork: You can enhance the effects of those combining their efforts on a task. As a full round action you can double the bonus of all those who succeed with their support roll on one task that round. Coordinating teamwork provokes an attack of opportunity from enemies in melee with the co-ordiniator.

Bonus feat: You gain a feat chosen from this list: alertness, any weapon proficiency, blind fight, combat reflexes, dodge, endurance, expertise, great fortitude, improved disarm, improved unarmed strike, iron will, lightning reflexes, mounted combat, skill focus, toughness, track, weapon focus.

Bonus class skill: Chose one skill to add to your gentleperson skill list from that point onward.

Lucky: You may reroll failures the stated number of times per day as you choose. You may not reroll a reroll, and you must abide by the reroll result.

Magic Dilettante: At 3rd level and every 5 levels thereafter the Gentleperson gains access to a small number of spells. This reflects the wide areas of learning and research to which she has applied herself and the hidden lore and spells that she has found there. She casts spells in the same way as a Wizard (she must prepare her spells in advance, and gains bonus spells from high Int bonus). At each level she may learn 3 + Int bonus in spells of any level she can cast from the Gentleperson spell list. She may research further spells just as a thaumaturge does. A Gentlperson’s caster level is equal to the Gentleperson class levels – 3. Other than any such spells contained on this list, Gentlefolk may never learn spells of the following schools: Enchantment, Evocation, Transmutation.

A Gentleperson may not learn item creation or metamagic feats, nor spells restricted to Wizards. Her understanding of magic is not sufficiently deep to gain such expertise. Should a Gentleperson have access to magic from another spell casting class, she must keep separate track of spells available and prepared for each class. If such a character learns item creation or metamagic feats relating to her other class, she may use them to modify her Gentleperson spells.
