Description

Geoff looks like an idealized version of his real-world self.

Combat

Greater Rage: 3/day; +8 Str, +8 Con, +3 Will saves, -4 AC; up to 14 rounds, after that Fatigued for the rest of the duration of the ecounter.

Sneak Attack: 2d6.

Bardic Knowledge: +13 bonus on check.

Bardic Music: 8/day: countersong, fascinate (max 3 creatures), inspire courage (+2), inspire competence, inspire toughness (see below), or suggestion.

Inspire toughness – All of Geoff's allies who hear this bardic music gain +2 hp per warchanter class level, for as long as they can hear Geoff and for 5 rounds afterwards. Requires 9+ ranks in Perform (sing) or Perform (oratory).

Fast Movement (x2): Geoff's base land speed increases by 20 ft. (included above) unless he wears heavy armor or carries a heavy load.

Evasion (Ex): If Geoff makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, he instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if Geoff is wearing light armor or no armor. Geoff does not gain the benefit of evasion if helpless.

Trap Sense: +1 on Reflex saves to avoid traps, +1 to AC to avoid attacks by traps.

Trapfinding: Geoff can use the Search skill to locate traps when the task has a Difficulty Class higher than 20. He can use the Disable Device skill to disarm magic traps. If he beats a trap's DC by 10 or more with a Disable Device check, he can study a trap, figure out how it works, and bypass it (with his party) without disarming it.

Uncanny Dodge: Geoff retains his Dexterity bonus to AC even if flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker.

Nature Sense (Ex): Geoff gains a +2 bonus on Knowledge (nature) and Survival checks.

Wild Empathy (Ex): Geoff can improve the attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check made to improve the attitude of a person. Geoff rolls 1d20 and adds his druid level and his Charisma modifier and subtracts 4 to determine the wild empathy check result. The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly.

To use wild empathy, Geoff and the animal must be able to study each other, which means that they must be within 30 feet of one another under normal conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute, but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time.

Geoff can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but he takes a -4 penalty on the check.

Woodland Stride (Ex): Geoff may move through any sort of undergrowth (such as natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at his normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment. However, thorns, briars, and overgrown areas that have been magically manipulated to impede motion still affect him.

Bard Spells Known (3/5/5/2; save DC 16 + spell level; Caster Level 8): 0 – detect magic, know direction, mending, prestidigitation, ray of frost, read magic; 1st – charm person, hypnotism, comprehend languages, Tasha's hideous laughter; 2nd – blur, eagle's splendor, hold person, tongues; 3rd – cure serious wounds, dispel magic, sculpt sound.

Druid Spells (5/5/3/2; save DC 15 + spell level; Caster Level 5)

Druidic Avenger: Geoff has all the standard druid class features, except as noted:

Animal companion – Geoff does not gain an animal companion

Spontaneous casting – Geoff cannot channel stored spell energy into summoning spells.

Fochlucan Lyrist: +3 arcane Caster Level and +3 divine Caster Level. Class levels stack with Bardic Knowledge and Bardic Music class abilities.

Lyric Spell [General](CAdv p113):Geoff may cast one of his available spontaneous arcane spells by expending (1 + spell level) uses of bardic music. He cannot use this feat to cast a spell with the Silent Spell metamagic feat applied to it.

Unbound: Geoff's Druidic Oath is relaxed, allowing him to wear any Light armor without penalty.
