Mog Dancer (3.5e Prestige Class)

Mog Dancer

“

Mog Dancers employ the forces of nature invoked through the power of dance. By entering a dance they cannot attack or pick which spells they use, but the spells themselves, and the fact that they do not run out of spells, make up for the lack of control.

Class Features

Environmental Dance (Su): The dance counts as a use of one of your bard's songs per day. Mog Dancer class levels stack with Bard levels for determining dances per day. Dancing is a standard action and requires concentration. When dancing pick from the appropriate spell list below at random (rolling a d4). The spell cannot be chosen but it's targets can be as needed. If struck for damage the Mog Dancer must make a concentration check. If the dance is broken or stopped the casting ends.

In addition each terrain has its own Granted Power. You may use only one Granted Power per day, though the effect and duration is listed for the particular terrain. Unless otherwise stated or impossible, all uses of granted powers are free, immediate actions.

You can only continue one dance up to as many rounds as your Mog Dancer class levels + Con modifier. Spells are Cha based.

Environmental Dance can be employed with Mirage Arcana cast as a swift action at the start of the dance, to simulate a different environment than the current one. As per the spell a Will save to disbelieve is allowed. If the save is made, you still mimic the spells from the false terrain, but they act as shadow conjuration, doing 20% effect. At level 10 it becomes 60% real as Greater Environmental Dance.

A few of the environmental dances are based on weather or unusual effects in the area. When faced with overlapping terrains like this, either can be used (such as a Stormy Plain invoking either Stormy effects of Plain effects).

Known Environment (Ex): A Mog Dancer can memorize the details of an environment with a successful skill check of Knowledge (geography) DC 20. A failed check means they cannot try again for a week. Upon memorizing an environment all dance spells cast from that environment have a +1 on their DC. Also, it becomes easier to mimic an environment with Arcane Mirage. The spell Arcane Mirage gets a +2 to the DC, and if disbelieved it deals 20% more than it would have (40% or 80% real respectively).

A Mog Dancer can memorize one environment at level 1, and every 2 levels beyond it can gain another memorized environment. A Mog can write over previous knowledge at any time, but cannot have more than 5.

A Knowledge (Nature), Knowledge (The Planes), Knowledge (Architecture), or Knowledge (Dungeoneering) check may be required instead for certain environments, at DM digression.

Spells per Day: When a new Mog Dancer level is gained, the character gains new spells per day as if he had also gained a level in a spellcasting class he belonged to before adding the prestige class. He does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained, except for an increased effective level of spellcasting. If a character had more than one spellcasting class before becoming an Mog Dancer, he must decide to which class he adds the new level for purposes of determining spells per day.

The epic mog dancer’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Appraise (Int), Balance (Dex), Bluff (Cha), Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Disguise (Cha), Escape Artist (Dex), Gather Information (Cha), Hide (Dex), Jump (Str), Knowledge (all skills, taken individually) (Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Perform (Cha), Profession (Wis), Sense Motive (Wis), Sleight of Hand (Dex), Speak Language (None), Spellcraft (Int), Swim (Str), Tumble (Dex), and Use Magic Device (Cha).

All the following are class features of the Epic Mog Dancer

Epic Known Environment: A Mog Dancer can memorize the details of an environment with a successful skill check of Knowledge (geography) DC 20. A failed check means they cannot try again for a week. Upon memorizing an environment all dance spells cast from that environment have a +1 on their effective caster level. Also, it becomes easier to mimic an environment with Arcane Mirage. The spell Arcane Mirage gets a +2 to the DC, and if disbelieved it deals 20% more than it would have (40% or 80% real respectively).

A Mog Dancer can memorize one environment at level 1, and every 2 levels beyond it can gain another memorized environment. A Mog can write over previous knowledge at any time, but cannot have more than 5.

A Knowledge (The Planes) or Knowledge (Dungeoneering) check may be required instead for certain environments.

Damage Cap: For dance spells which have a numerical value, they are treated as if Empowered at level 22. All variable, numeric effects of the empowered spell are increased by one-half. Saving throws and opposed rolls are not affected, nor are spells without random variables. At level 26, this number rises to to an increase of one (200%). At level 30, this becomes one and one-half (250%). For example at level 30, Fireball cast when dancing deals 25d6 maximum, assuming caster level is high enough.

Supreme Environmental Dance: Environmental Dance becomes harder to resist, with the save DC rising +2 if from the natural environment without Mirage Arcana. This stacks with Known Environment. In addition to previous rules, if Mirage Arcana is disbelieved it is still partly real. It becomes 80% real, and if it is a Known Environment, it is 100% real.
