The Evoker

The evoker specialist wizard has been transformed into its own
20-level base class. The standard wizard found in the PHB remains
the typical, universal wizard base class.

Your familiar is altered into a creature more suited to your specialty.
Prerequisites: 4 levels of any single specialist wizard class, Charisma

Benefits: Your familiar gains the following abilities, as befitting your
specialty wizard class:
● Evoker: In much the same way as when using a metamagic feat, the
master may enchant the familiar with an evocation spell by increasing
the spell’s slot level by one level. Once done, a simple thought releases
the spell as a free action, using the familiar as the point of origin, but only
if the familiar is within line of sight and 100 feet of its master. Only one
such spell may affect the familiar at once. Any condition that causes the
master to lose his memorized spells also dissipates this spell.

The Evoker Core Class
Most people consider it impossible to make something from nothing.
If that is the case, evokers specialize in working the impossible. Through
careful study, evokers learn to shape reality through their spells, allow-
ing them to invoke everything from the elements to pure force. They har-
ness the essence of what magic means and twist it to their wills, shaping
reality. Perhaps this is why they are amongst some of the more populous
specialists: the idea of tinkering with existence itself on a fundamental
level is so alluring to the mortal imagination and sense of potential ex-
perience.
Adventures
Possessing the most combat-oriented spell repertoire of all the spe-
cialists, evokers are welcomed by most adventurers. Aside from their
combat spells, evokers are able to summon any number of other ef-
fects—ranging from light to winds to alternate space—that lend them-
selves greatly to any number of situations and crises.
Characteristics
An evoker’s worth is in the wide application of their spells. Evokers
lean towards being very logical, reasonable folks who believe what their
senses tell them. However, they also believe in altering that perception
by creating their own aspects of reality from nothing, making them high-
ly imaginative and personable.
Alignment
Creation is not a matter of law or chaos, good or evil and so evokers
exist across the full spectrum of alignments.
Religion
Aside from the usual gods of magic, evokers may also worship gods
of creation and craftsmanship. They tend to avoid following deities with
influence over subterfuge, illusion, lies and the like. Evokers prefer real-
ity rather than falsehood.
Background
There is little in the way of rivalry between most evokers. Creating
something from nothing is equally miraculous regardless of where one
lives or was trained. Some have taken this one step further, however,
and deem it necessary to prove who can conduct this process best by
engaging in spell duels that sometimes last until one of the combatants is
dead—the ultimate way to prove one’s point.
Races
A few combat-prone races, such as orcs and even dwarves, have a
higher ratio of evokers than most other specialists, but generally they
are relatively unremarkable in their racial demographics. Elven evokers
prefer to employ their magics in artistic displays rather than as a tool of
battle, while halfling evokers are very creative when it comes to using
their magic for pranks.
Other Classes
Considering their own powers have such an immediate and direct
influence on the world around tm, evokers tend to get along well with
fighters and other warriors, while not quite approving of rogues, bards
or fellow spellcasters who prefer to deal with their foes indirectly.
Role
Of all the specialists, the evoker perhaps has the most utility. Their
spells are arguably more adaptable to different situations than most and
they also provide the most firepower. As such, evokers are usually ef-
fective in most situations, although there are definitely circumstances
where other specialists or even regular wizards are more suited.
Game Rule Information
Evokers have the following game statistics.
Abilities: As with wizards, Intelligence determines the strength of
an evoker’s spells, how many he can cast, and how difficult it is to resist
those spells’ effects.

Class Skills
The evoker’s class skills (and the key abil-
ity for each skill) are Concentration (Con),
Craft (Int), Decipher Script (Int), Knowledge
(all skills, taken individually) (Int), Profession
(Wis), and Spellcraft (Int.)
Skill Points at 1st Level: (2 + Int modi-
fier) x4.
Skill Points at Each Additional Level: 2
+ Int modifier.
Class Features
All of the following are class features of
the evoker.
Weapon and Armor
Proficiency
Evokers are proficient with the club, dag-
ger, heavy crossbow, light crossbow, and
quarterstaff, but not with any type of armor
or shield. Armor of any type interferes with
an evoker’s movements, which can cause his
spells with somatic components to fail.
Evocation Specialization
An evoker gains a +2 bonus on Spellcraft
checks to learn evoker spells. At this time, he
must also give up two other schools of mag-
ic, which become his prohibited schools.
An evoker can never give up divination
to fulfill this requirement.
Spells of the prohibited schools are not
available to the evoker, and he can’t even
cast such spells from scrolls or fire them from
wands. He may not change his prohibited
schools later.
5
Spells
An evoker casts arcane spells which are
drawn from the sorcerer/wizard spell list.
An evoker must choose and prepare his
spells ahead of time (see below.)
To learn, prepare, or cast a spell, the
evoker must have an Intelligence score equal
to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty
Class for a saving throw against an evoker’s
spell is 10 + the spell level + the evoker’s
Intelligence modifier.
Like other spellcasters, an evoker can cast
only a certain number of spells of each spell
level per day. His base daily spell allotment
is given on Table 2: The Evoker. In addition,
he receives bonus spells per day if he has a
high Intelligence score, as does a wizard.
Unlike a bard or sorcerer, an evoker may
know any number of spells. He must choose
and prepare his spells ahead of time by get-
ting a good night’s sleep and spending 1 hour
studying his spellbook. While studying, the
evoker decides which spells to prepare.
Bonus Languages
An evoker may substitute Draconic for
one of the bonus languages available to the
character because of his race.
Summon Familiar
An evoker can obtain a familiar in exactly
the same manner as a sorcerer can. See the
sorcerer description and the information on
Familiars in the PHB for details.
Deep Pockets
An evoker fiddles with reality so much
that objects frequently “drift” through exis-
tence towards them, whether they like it or
not. As such, any pocket, pouch or similar
location close to the evoker can be probed to
pull out a mundane (non-magical, non-mas-
terwork) item. The desired item must be able to easily fit into the location
and that location can be no larger than a belt pouch, nor can the item ex-

An evoker begins play with a spellbook containing all 0-level wizard
spells (except those from his prohibited school or schools) plus three 1st-
level spells of your choice. For each point of Intelligence bonus the evok-
er has, the spellbook holds one additional 1st-level spell of your choice.
At each new evoker level, he gains two new spells of any spell level or
levels that he can cast (based on his new evoker level) for his spellbook.
At any time, an evoker can also add spells found in other wizard’s spell-
books to his own.
The Arcanamest PrC
Most spellcasters know nothing of magic items beyond permanently
affixing arcane energies into an object—as permanently as some of the
items can be until their energies are expended, that is. The arcanamest
knows differently because they truly understand that energy, even that
of magic, is always in transition and cannot truly be destroyed. When
a magic item uses the last of its charges, the energy expended doesn’t
merely disperse into the ether but is instead returned to the universe
until it is used again. An arcanamest takes such energies and draws them
into himself, allowing him to focus them through an object as a form of
temporary magical item.
Hit Die: d4.
Requirements
To qualify to become an arcanamest, a character must fulfill all the
following criteria.
Skills: Craft (alchemy) 8+ ranks, any two other Craft skills at 6+
ranks
Feats: Three item creation feats except Scribe Scroll and Brew Potion
Special: Deep pockets
Class Skills
The arcanamest’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are
Appraise (Int), Concentration (Con), Decipher Script (Int), Knowledge
(any) (Int), Profession (Wis), Sleight of Hand (Dex), and Spellcraft (Int.)
Skill Points at Each Level: 2 + Int modifier.
Class Features
All the following are class features of the arcanamest prestige class.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency
An arcanamest is not proficient with any weapons, shields or armor.
Spontaneous Magical Item (Su)
By gathering magical energies from the environment and his unused
spell energies, an arcanamest is able to temporarily manifest magical ef-
fects in a normally mundane item. (This means this ability won’t work in
an area that is deprived of magic.) Doing so requires sacrificing a memo-
rized evocation spell of a minimum level determined by the gp value of
the item to be so emulated.

Use of this ability allows the character to attempt
using bardic music to cast spells with the selected
element’s descriptor. For example, an elemental song
of fire can be used to cast any [fire] spell. (The char-
acter need not otherwise have access to the spell,
allowing him to use this ability to cast divine and
arcane [fire] spells or spells of spell levels higher
than he can normally cast.) Doing so requires a
Perform check against a DC determined by
the desired spell’s level, as follows.

9
Spell Level Perform DC
0 10
1 11
2 12
3 14
4 16
5 19
6 22
7 26
8 30
9 35
Increase the Perform DC by +3 per level
of spell beyond what the character is able
to cast normally while a +2 modifier is ap-
plied if it is a divine spell. For example, an
elemental troubadour that can normally cast up
to level 5 spells would have to make a DC 32 (26
+ 3 + 3) Perform check to use a song of fire
to cast a level 7 [fire] spell.
The save DC of any spell cast us-
ing an elemental song is equal to the
Perform check’s result.
Employing an elemental song requires ex-
pending one of the character’s daily bardic song
uses, but the use is not expended if the Perform check
fails.
The first selection of elemental song requires 9 or
more ranks in a Perform skill, while the second instance
requires 12 ranks, the third 15 ranks and the fourth 18 ranks.
Instead of choosing a new element at each of the indicated
levels, the elemental troubadour may instead take a previously
selected element again with additional benefits being applied
based on how many times that single element is selected. Selecting
the same element twice grants a +2 competence bonus to Perform
checks to evoke elemental songs of that element type, three times
treats the spell as though affected by the Maximize Spell feat with-
out using up the three additional spell slots, and four times allows
the elemental troubadour to add his Charisma bonus to his caster
level for the sake of determining an elemental song’s potency.
10
Bardic Music per Day
When the specified new elemental troubadour level is gained, the
character acquires new instances of bardic music per day as if he had
also gained a level in bard. He does not, however, gain any other benefit
of a bard, except for an increased effective level of caster where relevant
to the potency of bardic music. If a character had more than one class
that offers bardic music before becoming an elemental troubadour, all
instances compound.
Spells per Day
When the specified new elemental troubadour level is gained, the
character acquires 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 el-
emental troubadour, he must decide to which class he adds the new level
for purposes of determining spells per day.
Magic Items
Force Armor (Magic Armor)
This armor appears as little more than a metal harness that straps
across the chest and back to a belt at the waste, with thin lengths of
chain running from the shoulders to metal bracelets around each
wrist. Once activated, however, a suit of +3 scale mail comprised
entirely of slightly glowing force forms around the torso, ex-
tending from the straps, belt and bracelets. Once activated, the
armor constitutes no additional weight, leaving the wearer’s
speed unchanged from its base speed (so long as that is what
it would be were the armor not active.)
The force armor may be active for as much as 30 min-
utes per day.
