Witcher Template
"Witcher" is an inherited template that can only be added to male humans (referred to hereafter as the base creature).
A Witcher uses all the below statistics and special abilities.
Speed: A Witcher has exceptionally increased speed (+10 to base speed up to light armor)
Special Qualities: A Witcher gains all the special qualities described below.
Trial of the grasses: Mutation that lets a witcher withstand the toxicity of potions that would normally kill mundane races. When a witcher consumes a witcher potion, his toxicity levels increases from 0 to a maximum of 100. Toxicity levels decrease by 1 per round. When toxicity levels reaches 50% the witcher’s body starts to look poisoned as veins start turning black and his skin becomes more pale. At 70% the witcher’s body is nearing the safe threshold of toxicity and the body looks worse than before and can only use half a turn. At 90% the witcher’s body is starting to take a toll on itself and the witcher becomes fatigued. At 95% the witcher’s body exceeds the safe threshold and his fast healing stops, the witcher starts to loose 5 points of health per round and an additional point every higher percentage until toxicity levels falls under 95%. If toxicity levels ever reaches 100% or higher the witcher becomes unconscious. If toxicity levels reaches 110% the witcher dies on the spot. Being poisoned while having toxicity increases toxicity by the DC of the poison and increases by 1 every round until the poison has stopped.

Witcher
Geralt of Rivia
The Witcher is a human who has undergone extensive training, ruthless mental and physical conditioning, and mysterious rituals (which take place at "witcher schools") in preparation for becoming an itinerant monsterslayer for hire. Taken in as children, witchers-to-be are subjected to intense alchemical processes, consumption of mutagenic compounds, and relentless physical and magical training to make them dangerous and highly versatile against their vast array of opponents, many of which possess superhuman speed, strength and/or other deadly powers. These procedures ultimately mean that each fully-trained witcher is a mutant built specifically to hunt and kill inhuman prey. Three out of ten children survive the trials. Witchers don't often get the respect they deserve, usually people see them as freaks of nature.
Adventures: Witchers are destined to adventure out in the world and slay any monsters to come upon. But whatever their main reasons may be, it always comes down to how much coin is in it for them. Witchers do nothing for free, for it is their only trade. As long as the coin is right, witchers will hunt down just about anything. When on their free time, some adventure out to seek exotic treasures for better weapons and armor.
Characteristics: Witchers are formidable and often overwhelming opponents to more mundane races thanks to their superhuman physical prowess, regenerative capabilities, and magic. However, they are not infallible, as they can still make mistakes, take a misstep in battle against mundane men or supernatural demons, or be overwhelmed by sheer numbers and individuals who have the skill to match a witcher, though rare is the individual who managed to slay a witcher out of skill rather than dumb luck or by ambush. Witchers only have one true weakness, portals, witchers hate portals.
Alignment: Witchers are said to have no capacity for emotions. Considering the rigors of their training and the dangers they face on a day-to-day basis, one might simply never had the time or exposure to society to develop or recognize the reactions to mundane experiences that most take for granted. A combination of their hard training, genetic modifications, and seclusion from society that may encourage blunted emotional expressions, so they are mainly of the neutral alignment but some might branch to any neutral alignment, one might play the hero of the village or the butcher of the village. Witchers tend to stay out of politics and are known for their neutrality in situations.
Religion: Whether witchers believes in gods or not, they have no reason to be faithful to them or worship them for they rather trust in the knowledge and skills that they’ve picked up from training and their journeys.
Background: Witchers are either brought to witcher schools on purpose or are taken by the law of surprise which dictates that a man saved by another is expected to offer to his savior a boon whose nature is unknown to one or both parties, in the case of the witcher trade it's mostly the first born child. These witcher schools are hidden from the outside world and only witchers know the path to keep. The children must then past all the witcher trials. These trials are a secret to only witchers. Once that's over they train and study to become a witcher every day until they are ready to travel off and to become full fledged witchers.
Race: Only male human witchers are known to exist because of their adaptable bodies at a young age. Witcheresses and witchers of other races are only rumored.
Other Classes: Witchers usually don't work with others because for the most part others tend to get in their way or hold them back. But a group may hire a witcher to be their companion as long as there is monsters and coin involved. It is very rare for a witcher to abandon their trade to take part in a group and even less for free.
Role: The witcher's role is solely meant to slay monsters. They are also experts on tracking because of their super human senses they can see tracks and smell scents no ordinary man can see. If they are ever in a group they would usually take the lead for their high perception. In a battle, they are in the front lines having others stand back from afar to lend support. Witchers are also trained at lifting curses if aware of the correct curse and if it can be lifted. Witchers can also create bait traps for monsters only if they are aware of the monsters they face.

Class Features
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Witchers are proficient with all simple and martial weapons plus the bastard sword and the hand crossbow. Witchers are proficient with light and medium armor but not shields.
Witcher Alchemy: Alchemy for a witcher is set up into three categories, Brewing, Oil Preparation, and Bomb Creation. Brewing is the process of crafting potions and decoctions. Potions serve as buffs to temporary stats or ability bonuses. Decoctions are a special ultra-powerful subtype of potion and the buffs are much greater but adds much more toxicity. Oil preparation is the process of crafting oils and applying them on weapons to increase the damage for the particular foe the oil targets. Only one oil can be applied on weapon. Until that oil runs out or is cleaned off a new one may be applied. Oils can only be applied outside of combat. Bomb Creation is the process of crafting bombs which are area-effecting, thrown projectiles which can damage, stun or cause other effects on clustered groups of enemies. Bombs can be used to deal direct damage, damage-over-time, stun, or other temporary effects which serve as combat advantages. To craft these items, the required ingredients must be acquired first by purchasing them from an alchemist. When crafting, the witcher makes a craft alchemy check to successfully craft the item. The difficultly class varies depending on the item being crafted. To replenish the used items, the process must be repeated.
Battle Trance (Ex): The witcher uses his adrenaline as a power boost. The longer the battle, the more powerful the witcher becomes. As the battle intensifies, the more intense the witcher’s adrenaline becomes. Blows landed during combat generate adrenaline points to a max of 3 adrenaline points. Every 10 successful attacks generates 1 adrenaline point. Each adrenaline point increases the witcher’s strength modifier by +2. 1 adrenaline point is loss upon taking damage from a single attack made against.
Signs (Sp): A versatile form of magic that allows witchers to cast spells and enchantments with simple hand gestures known as signs that serve very well for someone with a sword in one hand to add a variety of improvisation to their efforts. Witchers can use up to 3 signs a day for each path, the number of signs used per day is increased by sign intensity. Sign intensity also increases the effect of signs. All signs are somatic components. All signs are spell resistance. All signs do not require concentration checks unless casting defensively. Signs require one hour of mediation to be replenish. The witcher’s caster level is equal to half his class level.
Track: A witcher gains Track (see page 101 in the players handbook) as a bonus feat.
Sixth Sense (Su): A witcher's sixth sense is a supernatural ability that when activated allows a witcher to sense clues, tracks, smells, or sounds that no ordinary human can. This ability can only be activated out of combat as a free action. When activated, a witcher can sense any tracks or clues that appear in the area. When tracks appear, the witcher can follow the tracks until they end. When clues appear with a scent attached to it, the witcher can then follow the scent until it ends. When activated, objects of interest can also be detected within the area as well as traps. When activated, a witcher can sense sound waves from afar and as the witcher gets closer to the source, the sound is more clear. While using sixth sense, a witcher gains +8 to Listen, Search, and Spot checks also to survival checks when tracking.
Investigator: A witcher gains Investigator (see page 97 in the players handbook) as a bonus feat.
Self-Sufficient: A witcher gains Self-Sufficient (see page 100 in the players handbook) as a bonus feat.
Metabolism Control (Ex): Starting at 3rd level and every four levels after, the maximum toxicity is increased by +6.
Resolve (Ex): Starting at 3rd level and every eight levels after, the amount of attacks it takes to loose adrenaline points is increased by +1
Acrobatic: A witcher gains Acrobatic (see page 89 in the players handbook) as a bonus feat.
Endurance: A witcher gains Endurance (see page 93 in the players handbook) as a bonus feat.
Mobility A witcher gains Mobility (see page 98 in the players handbook) as a bonus feat.
Spring Attack: A witcher gains Spring Attack (see page 100 in the players handbook) as a bonus feat.
Undying (Ex): As the witcher’s adrenaline spikes up, he uses his that adrenaline to survive life threatening attacks. When hit points reaches 0, adrenaline points (if available) will be consumed to restore hit points. Each adrenaline point restores 1d10 hit points.
Deflect Arrows A witcher gains Deflect Arrows (see page 93) in the players handbook) as a bonus feat.
Power Attack: A witcher gains Power Attack (see page 98) in the players handbook) as a bonus feat.
Improved Sunder: A witcher gains Improved Sunder (see page 96) as a bonus feat at 9th level.
Whirlwind Attack: A witcher gains Whirlwind Attack (see page 102) in the players handbook) as a bonus feat.
Lightning Precision: The witcher's accuracy with a hand crossbow becomes more precise as he hones his lightning reflexes. For one round, the witcher sharpens his senses and studies the targets movements but can only use move actions and he can still analyze his target even if his target notices him. On his next round, time is slowed from his sharp reflexes and gains a +10 on his attack roll and while preforming this attack the critical threat range is doubled. When a flying creature gets struck from this attack it must make a fortitude save or it will be knocked down from the sky (DC is 10 + class level + intelligence modifier).
Swift Tracker (Ex): A witcher can move at his normal speed while following tracks without taking the normal –5 penalty. He takes only a –10 penalty (instead of the normal –20) when moving at up to twice normal speed while tracking.
Crippling Shot: The witcher becomes more knowledgeable on the anatomies of his targets and knows exactly where to strike to shut them down. While using the hand crossbow, critical hits disable all the target’s special abilities for 1d5 rounds so long as the witcher knows exactly the type of creature he’s up against. Special abilities are either extraordinary (Ex), spell-like (Sp), or supernatural (Su).
Razor Focus (Ex): The witcher sharpens his adrenaline the second he meets he meets his enemy. The witcher instantly gains 1 arenaline point when entering combat. The arenaline points generated by blows are increased by 2.
Crippling Blows: The witcher’s attacks become more deadly and now causes bleed effects. Damage delt with attacks now has an additional bleed damage. A creature that is taking bleed damage takes 1 point of damage at the beginning of its turn and increases by 1 on every successful hit. When dealing a critical hit the target takes 1 point of constitution damage from blood loss and increases by 1 on every successful critical hit. The critical hit does not multiply the constitution damage. Bleeding can be stopped by a DC 15 Heal check or through the application of any spell that cures hit point damage (even if the bleed is ability damage). Creatures immune to critical hits are immune to bleeding effects.
Evaision (Ex): A witcher can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If he makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save (such as a red dragon’s fiery breath or a fireball), he instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if the witcher is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless witcher (such as one who is unconscious or paralysed) does not gain the benefit of evasion.
Sunder Armor: The witcher’s power attacks become more devastating and now reduces damage resitance. Damage delt with power attack now permanently decreases a creature’s AC. A creature that takes damage from this attack looses 1 point towards their AC on every successful hit and is multiplied on a critical hit even if the target is immune to criticals. The decrease in AC points only affect armor bonus and natural armor bonus, any other AC bonus is not affected.
Battle Frenzy (Ex): The witcher’s attacks become more deadly as his adrenaline builds up. Battle trance now increases the critical threat range by one per adrenaline point.
Flood of Anger (Ex): As his adrenaline reaches his max, the witcher’s signs are powered by his intense rage. When casting a sign, 3 adrenaline points (if available) will be consumed to increase the sign intensity by 3.

Artifacts:
Witcher medallion: The witchers' medallion is a meteorite silver symbol of the witchers' profession. Each one is shaped to represent the school a witcher comes from. It is sensitive to magic, vibrating and tugging on its chain when spells are being cast or magical beings, like genies, are present. This magic medallion is given to every young witcher candidate who has passed the Trial of the Grasses. The origin of the first medallions is unknown, though it is assumed they were made in the magic forge at witcher keeps. The medallions vibrate in response to magic in all its forms, including curses, charms, and spells. They also warn of lurking monsters born of magic or magic experimentation. However, witcher medallions are not foolproof, certain monsters such as dopplers and higher vampires remain undetected whenever in range of a medallion. No monster can touch a witcher's medallion, if a monster touches the medallion they burn and take 1d4 damage. The medallion can be tuned to detect either monsters, magic, or danger. If tuned for monsters any non humanoids/animals in a 30ft radius will make the medallion vibrate letting the witcher know that monsters are near by. If tuned for magic the witcher acts as if he has detect magic but in a 30ft radius. If tuned for danger the witcher acts as if he has evasion. The medallion can only be tuned durning meditation and once tuned cannot be tuned for 24 hours. If the medallion every looses its magic permanently the only way to reactive is back at the witcher school in the circle of elements where witchers forge their medallions. It takes a full 24 hours to activate. While wearing this medallion the witcher receives resistance to magic spells and gains +2 on saving throws against spells and spell-like effects.
Materials:
Meteorite silver: A strange silver metal that fell from the sky. This silver metal has the ability to by pass all damage reduction except adamantine damage reduction, magic damage reduction and weapon damage reductions (blundering, piercing and slashing).

Supercharged glyphs: An advanced magical sign used by witchers. It temporary adds the effect of health depletion to the path sign yrden and increases the range by 10ft. Enemies under the influence of yrden lose 3 HP every round (6). Enemies under the influence of magic trap lose 3 HP every round (6). Opponents who make the save only lose 1 HP every round (3). Casting time is a free action. Range is personal. Duration is 5 minutes.
Heliotrop: An ultimate magical defensive sign used by witchers. It slows down time briefly while preparing a protective barrier that negates all magic. Casting time is a ready action / standard action. Range is touch. Duration is until discharge / instantaneously. The protective barrier is activated when the caster readies in action to nullify any spell targeted at the caster. When the sign is in ready action state, time slows down brifefly giving the caster a +1 towards their reflex saves and their attacks and dodge bonus towards their AC, the caster can not cast any other signs but can still attack. When a spell is fired at the caster, the caster makes a reflex save to catch the spell. If the spell is invisible to the eye the caster must have the witcher medallion to be set to detect magic in order to use his reflex save. If the caster fails then the caster receives the full effect from the spell. When the spell is successfully caught the caster makes a concentration check to dispel it. If the caster fails then the caster receives the full effect from the spell +1d12 from the explosion caused by the failure of the dispelling and the caster is knocked out for 1d10 rounds. The caster receives no damage if successfully caught and dispelled the spell. The DC for the save and checks is the same as the spellcaster's DC for their spells. "Sign intensity" gives a +2 for the concentration check. The caster can also use a standard action to touch any magic and negate it by succeeding on the concentration check. While using this sign, it consumes 1 sign per day from each path of signs. If just one path of sign has no sign per day available, then the sign would not be complete.
Sign intensity master: Increases the effects of all very simple, simple, intermediate, advanced, and ultimate magical signs and increases the number of signs per day to 6.
