Class Features
The Armament Mages abilities stem from their pact with the Planar Gods. Whilst some choose loyalty to a single deity, increasing the potency of their abilities, many choose not to specify, leaving them with much more versatility. All of the following are class features of the Armament Mage.
EXOTIC TRAINING (ET) (Ex): At the first level, and every even level after, the Armament Mage may choose an exotic weapon to become proficient with.p
PLANAR HOLDING (Ex): The Armament Mage holds all of their equipment within another plane, or pocket dimension. Items that can be stored include weapons,armor,outfits,tools,and ammunition. the number of items that you can hold within that space is twice your level + your CON modifier.
SWORD STROM (Ex): The sword storm is a storm of 4 swords that floats around the player waiting for the command to attack. The blades deal 1d6 damage each. Over time, after leveling up, the player will start to have the ability to summon 1 more sword for every time they level up in the Sword Storm skill category. The Sword Storm is when the player emits an invisible, undetected area of affect around the summoned swords, making them float and be completely under his/her control. The distance the weapons can reach is 40 ft. Roll 1d4 to see how long you have to wait before you can do Sword Storm again.
HOLDING PACT (Su): The blessing received from your sacrificial pact, the Holding Pact grants you availability to a host of enchanted outfits, complete with weapons designed for the outfit. These outfits are known as Armaments. There are 5 levels of armor sets, each an upgrade from the last. These sets take up a slot of your Planar Holding ability, and are armaments forge in their respective plains. The look may be customized by the wearer, as each armament is made specifically for the Pact Bearer. The player is granted an armament at the first level, and every other level after the first. If the player's INT mod is above 15, she can choose 2 armaments at each Armament milestone level. (1,5,10,15,20) if it is 18 or above, she can choose 3. Most Armaments are not like the Armament Mages mundane armors, and channel a massive amount of magical energy. Therefore, starting at Armaments of the 2nd Level and higher, she can only sustain an armament whilst in combat for a limited period of time. the time roll is made upon executing the Re-quip. If only a weapon type for an armament is specified, then the user may choose a specific weapon with that type range to use as part of that Armament. However, once the weapon has been chosen, it becomes the permanent weapon for that Armament.

Ex-Armament Mages
The Armament Mage is an Ode to peace amongst the Gods. Their presence is a universal symbol of peace between the planes, at least for the sake of universal balance. To break the Sacrificial Pact and throw down one's oath is to spit in the face of all the Gods. Therefore, one who breaks such a sacred vow is cursed for all time. The guilty receives a permanent -5 to all ability scores, and cannot choose another class for one year. After that, the user may not choose a class that is governed by the Gods, so those who are especially gift in magic often turn to serving the demonic as warlocks. Those who aren't often try to find work as a sell-sword or pirate, and some choose the path of a fighter or rogue. However, almost all who attempt these paths die a very horrible death not long after, having offended one God or another by making a living from their domain of rule.
