Class Features

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Stonekeepers are proficient in all simple weapons. They are not proficient in any type of armor or shield.

Amulet Power (Su): The power of the amulet to maneuver objects. You gain the ability to use Telekinesis and Levitate, both at will, with caster level equal to your stonekeeper level.

Amulet Bond (Su): No one, not even you, can take the amulet off your neck. The only way to take it off is using epic-level bond-breaking spell, or to bequeath it to another sentient creature. Once your bond between with the amulet is broken, you lose all the abilities you gained from this class. However, you can recreate your bond with the amulet simply by wearing it again. Additionally, as your powers stem from the amulet, you retain all of them even while under the influence of an Antimagic Field and similar effects.

Magical Lifeforce (Su): The power of the amulet adds to your lifeforce, allowing you to remain young and well longer. Your lifespan is doubled (middle age, old and venerable age categories are twice the usual for your race and your maximum age is calculated using the new venerable number). You also don't suffer aging penalties to your ability scores, though aging bonuses still occur.

Energy Shield (Su): You can use the power of the amulet to shield yourself and others from harm; you gain the ability to use Shield and Mage Armor, both at will, with caster level equal to your stonekeeper level.

Life Detection (Su): You can use the power of the amulet to sense life energy; this ability functions similarly to Blindsense out to 30 feet, however only detects living creatures and requires concentration.

Mind Reading (Su): You can use the power of the amulet to read the mind of others; you gain the ability to use Detect Thoughts at will, with caster level equal to your stonekeeper level, but only on individuals that are either willing or have a lower Wisdom score than you.

Energy Blast (Su): You can use the power of the amulet to project energy in an offensive manner; you gain the ability to use Energy Blast once per encounter per stonekeeper level you have, with caster level equal to your stonekeeper level. However, the blast is pure energy rather than elemental energy; the damage is thus typeless and treated as magic for the purpose of overcoming DR.

Flight 1 (Su): You can use the power of the amulet to fly briefly; you gain the ability to use Fly at will, with caster level equal to your stonekeeper level, but you can only maintain it for as long as you concentrate + 1 round per stonekeeper level you have.

Strengthen Weapon 1 (Su): You can use the power of the amulet to empower weapons you use; you gain the ability to use Magic Weapon at will.

Teleportation 1 (Su): You can use the power of the amulet to teleport a short distance, but this strains you; you gain the ability to use Dimension Door at will, with caster level equal to your stonekeeper level. After you do so, however, you become Fatigued for 1d6 rounds. (no save)

Energy Burst (Su): Your ability to project energy in an offensive manner strengthens significantly; you gain the ability to use Energy Burst once per encounter per stonekeeper level you have, with caster level equal to your stonekeeper level. However, the blast is pure energy rather than elemental energy; the damage is thus typeless and treated as magic for the purpose of overcoming DR. You also gain the ability to use Energy Blast twice per encounter per stonekeeper level you have, instead of once.

Resistance (Su): The power of the amulet protects you from harm and assists your healing process. You gain elemental resistance 5, damage reduction 5/magic, and the ability to restore 1 hp per 3 hours of activity or 1 hp per hour of rest, 1 point of ability damage per 3 hours and 1 point of drained ability per day.

Flight 2 (Su): Your ability to fly is augmented; you can now maintain flight as per the Fly spell's normal duration, or until you negate it, the earlier of the two.

Energy Materialization 1 (Su): You can use the power of the amulet to materialize simple energy shapes, but they only subsist for a short amount of time; you gain the ability to use Floating Disk and Resilient Sphere, both at will, with caster level equal to your stonekeeper level.

Strengthen Weapon 2 (Su): YYou can empower weapons you use even more than before; you gain the ability to use Greater Magic Weapon at will.

Energy Darts (Su): You can use the power of the amulet to shoot darts of energy at your enemies; you gain the ability to use Improved Magic Missile and Arcane Bolt, both at will, with caster level equal to your stonekeeper level. However, the darts are pure energy rather than force energy; the damage is thus typeless and treated as magic for the purpose of overcoming DR.

Interposing Hand (Su): You can use the power of the amulet to materialize a giant energy hand that can block your enemies; you gain the ability to use Interposing Hand once per encounter per stonekeeper level you have, with caster level equal to your stonekeeper level.

Forceful Hand (Su): Your ability to materialize a giant energy hand is improved, which also allows you to better maneuver and utilize it; you gain the ability to use Forceful Hand once per encounter per stonekeeper level you have, with caster level equal to your stonekeeper level. You also gain the ability to use Interposing Hand twice per encounter per stonekeeper level you have, instead of once.
