Broken Home All Rapstars come from a broken home. This can be a number of things such the death of one or more parents, being raised in poverty, growing up in an abusive family, as long as it can be seen as a traumatic and long lasting experience. This grants the Rapstar a permanent +1 to will (this remains even if they become an ex rapstar).
Spoken Word A Rapstar must always speak in a rhythmic pattern or speak in rhymes. Failure to do so will result in them becoming an ExRapstar.
Get with the beat (sp) A number of times a day equal to the Rapstars Charisma modifier the Rapstar can perform Get with the beat. This allows him to affect the flow of combat by giving a comrade an extra turn for one round of combat. This is considered a full-round action.
Persuasive The Rapstar now receives a +2 in Diplomacy
Beatboxing(su) The Rapstar can Beatbox and while doing so give a +1 to any skill check made by an ally so long as they are in hearing distance. This increases by 1 in later levels. For example Beatboxing+3 gives a +4 to any skill check.
Let the Inspiration Flow Whenever the Rapstar uses Get with the beat they target also now receives a +1 to attack and damage for the round.
Practice The Rapstar can now choose to perform a ceremony of practice at the start of the day to receive a +5 to damage for the first spell he casts that day. The ceremony is just the rapstar practicing new rhymes and requires a pen and paper to write down the thoughts on. This takes 1 hour of uninterrupted time to perform.
Rhythm The Rapstar now gives any living creature that can hear a 3+Beatboxing level bonus to dance when rapping. This effect cannot be stacked with beatboxing as it is impossible to Beatbox and rap at the same time, unless the Rapstar is somehow capable of this.
Noticeable Once a day the Rapstar can perform in public in order to receive income. This is a 1D10 silver.
Dis Track The Rapstar can now perfrom a dis track against an enemy to make them receive a -1 to attack and damage. This works similarly to Beatboxing as it also improves as the Rapstar levels.
Bronze Record The Rapstar is now able to receive a 1D10 in Gold instead of Silver once a day by performing.
Silver Record The Rapstar is now able to receive 2 D10 in Gold once a day by performing.
Gold Record The Rapstar is now able to receive 3 D12 Gold once a day by performing.
Platinum Record The Rapstar is now able to receive 4 D20 Gold once a day by performing.
Ex-Rapstar
If a Rapster ever speaks a sentence without either rhyming or having a poetic matter then they lose all class features (including spells) granted by their class. If this happens then they can Repeal the error of their ways by writing a "come back" song and performing it in front of an audience. At this point whether this is effective is based on the audience. At least 70% of the audience has to give it a thumbs up.
