Cosmic Devourer (3.5e Class)

Cosmic Devourers

Cosmic Devourers are the source of an infinite energy that makes up the planes or destroys it. This comic power allows them to absorb everything in a plane, and use it as though it were a tool or a weapon. Cosmic Devourers are able to traverse the planes freely, and consume it without restriction.

Making a Cosmic Devourer

Adventures: New Cosmic Devourers adventure for any number of reasons; some to gain the wit and quick thinking of a deceptive advisor, some to gain the power to rule an entire plane, and some just for the fun of it. Being Immortal, Cosmic Devourers have a long time to hone their abilities, and strive to learn something from every experience.

Characteristics: Cosmic Devourers are, in essence, walking Cosmic forces, making them masters of wielding a power greater than them. They can use these powers to manipulate the very plane around them, and often use this to their advantage. Most Cosmic Devourers prefer to use their Cosmic powers from a distance, but there is the occasional one who likes showing the true power of the cosmics up close and personal.

Alignment: Cosmic Devourers are free spirits by nature, and unbound by any rule or law. Good Cosmic Devourers generally do their best to help people, or even a plane. Their methods can be anywhere from Godliness to the most irrational of them. Evil Cosmic Devourers use their limitless power to try and obtain more, often in the sense of domination or control. Being what they are, they can hide their alignment very well.

Background: Cosmic Devourers are engulfed in their new found profession without their knowledge, and most definitely without them asking for it. A Cosmic Devourer is engulfed by the cosmos when it seems darkest, and this is usually when the Cosmic Devourer is about to die. They are usually shifted to someplace safe, which is more than often on a different plane. Most are lone wolves trying to become skilled enough to return home, but often there are few that find themselves attached to a party in some manner, so they usually stay until the end. Cosmic Devourers treat one another just as one god would to another. They respect each other, acknowledge their existence, and mostly leave one another alone.

Game Rules Information

Abilities: Wisdom is the most important for a Cosmic Devourer. It improves their Will Saves, the DC of their skills, and how many times they can use their skills per day. Intelligent is also important for a Cosmic Devourer. It affects many Cosmic skills, and more than half of the class skills for Cosmic Devourer are based on intelligent. Constitution is important for a Cosmic Devourer because it increases their Fortitude Saves. They also need the hit points, as they will often be the target of an enemies attack, and many spells in the spirts rely on Constitution.

Races: Although Cosmic Devourers are often portrayed as being Dragon like, not all Cosmic Devourer are. Although Dragons are more adept at each plane, become attuned to the cosmos faster, and master their skills quicker, they are often the most flawed, their downfalls often being greed or pride. Cosmic Devourers can be any race with the Magic Born type; they retain all special abilities granted by their race and extend their language to the extra planar languages. Few humanoids have been Cosmic Devourers, or they simply are recognized as such.

Class Features

Cosmic Devourers are not your average combatant. They can battle on the front lines, or even from behind saftey. All of the following are class features of the Cosmic Devourer.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Cosmic Devourers are proficient with Simple weapons, and one Martial weapon of their choice. A Cosmic Devourer is proficient with Light and Medium armor.

Cosmic Manipulation:User can create, shape and manipulate cosmic energies to produce nearly any effect they desire, including the molecular restructuring and transmutation of matter, the manipulation of matter across space and time, the creation of force fields, the creation of inter-dimensional portals and vortexes, telekinesis, and cosmic awareness. User can call upon the comets, meteors, asteroids, stars, moons, planets, nebula, quasars, and dark matter. They can generate stellar winds, solar flares, cosmic storms and invoke meteor showers. Level 4 you get cosmic awarness then at level 7 you get telekinesis then at level 20 you unlock everything.

Essence Devour: Cosmic Devourers at level 1 gain the ability to consume anything and convert it into essence. You can use the ability to consume a living things with 10hp or less as a coup de grace to receive 6 bonus essence for killing them. You receive 2 essence for devouring normal non magical objects of at least tiny size (no bag full of m&ms) for each size larger you receive an additional 2 essence, 5 essence for magical objects of at least +1 enhancement bonus (including special abilities) or less above +1 enhancement bonus you receive an additional 2 essence per extra point of enhancement, you receive 4 essence for consuming beings of small size and an additional +4 essence for each size category larger of a creature you consume (beings smaller than small size produce half the amount of essence you'd get from a small creature for each size category smaller the creature is for example: Troy a Cosmic Devourer decides to have a light snack a tasty toad such a creature would only give him 1 essence but it would be much better than eating something like what the toad's been eating, flies being fine creatures would only produce 1/2 an essence but not quite as filling as the neighbor's cat that he had earlier being a tiny creature it gave him 2 essence). Beings with class levels are much tastier and filling than those without for every class level a being has you receive an additional 2 essence from them. By you gathering essence you unlock other abilities and knowledge. The table below is a list of a few things you can unlock, anything you unlock from the table you keep forever after spending the essence on it.

You may pay essence in multiples of 5 to double the damage of each beam.
