Ritual Level 6

You bring back a dead creature in another body. Category: Restoration Component Cost: 160 gp Time: 2 hours Market Price: 420 gp Duration: Instantaneous Key Skill: Nature Effect: To perform the Reincarnate ritual, you must have a part of the corpse of a creature that died no more than a week ago.

factor. So long as some small portion of the creature’s body still exists, it can be reincarnated, but the portion receiving the ritual must have been part of the creature’s body at the time of death. The ritual of the spell creates an entirely new young adult body for the soul to inhabit from the natural elements at hand. The subject returns to life as if he or she had taken an extended rest. The subject is freed of any permanent conditions suffered at death. The subject’s soul must be free and willing to return to life. Some magical effects trap the soul and thus prevent Reincarnate from working, and the gods can intervene to prevent a soul from journeying back to the realm of the living.

Some Godsmen have died so many times they barely remember what race they started out as. These cutters delve into the depths of the Cycle of Testing, trying new forms each time they die, and learning from each. Though they do not seek death, they understand that death is merely a setback, and another step on the road towards divinity.

Shapes of the Past (16th level): A Disciple of the Cycle may shift into any other race or animal that has previously been one of the Disciple's incarnations

during his deaths and rebirths. When he does so, he is considered to completely loose his previous race and acquire the new one, and any equipment carried or worn resizes to fit the new form. There is no time limit to how long he can stay in this form, but if a Disciple of the Cycle stays shifted for more than 1 hour in a day, his experience gain for that day is halved. Additionally, if he spends more than four hours in a day shifted, he looses all special abilities from his Disciple of the Cycle class, and may not gain any more levels in any class until he receives an atonement spell. Disciples should learn mainly from their current forms, so as to experience events from all possible angles, and not rely on their past forms.

CHAMPION OF THE HARMONIUM (HARDHEADS)

Prerequisite: Iniziate of the Harmonium, Authority, Strength and Charisma 15 Though many join the Harmonium, unifying with your fellow members can be far from an easy task. Though they all seek to create peace, most members of the Harmonium are still wholly individual. And since their passion to unite worlds and planes burns brightly, disagreements can drive even those of higher measure apart. A rare few, however, build a rare gift, one that lets them lead by example. Their presence brings the disparate elements together, granting them inspiration and drive. Champions of the Harmonium are just that, becoming one with the purpose of their faction. Those that become champions are typically well-rooted within the faction, often achieving the rank of Measure before showing the exceptional talent for leadership that marks them. While occasionally a Notary has suddenly struck by inspiration and develops this sort of talent, it is most often honed over years. Surprisingly, few factols have been champions. Champions seem better suited to the field, after all, where their word has a positive effect on Harmonium members engaged in

missions. Behind a desk or behind the front lines, their inspiring qualities often languish in disuse. As the Harmonium champions martial prowess with which to enforce peace, the champion is often a warrior as much as a leader. After all, even the Harmonium admits that force is needed to impose change. Though it may be loathe to use it unecessarily, a champion learns to face violence - and to become very, very good at it. Not all that become champions are of a warlike persuasion, however. It's simply that once they embody the Harmonium, skill in combat is only natural.

way to bob the problem - cheat the multiverse, as it were. It just might be that the multiverse doesn't exist beyond what a body can sense. - The Planescape boxed set The Sensory Adept is an individual who has devoted their life towards the single goal of refining his senses. Through this they hope to develop an understanding of the darks behind the multiverse. What these darks are none can say, for when a cutter finally realizes them they seem to transcend to another level of existence, leaving the material world behind them. Whether it is truly enlightenment that the Sensory Adepts find upon completion of this path is still a matter of debate, though many Sensory Adepts seem to show a level of clarity that none to date have been able to attribute to another cause. Sensory Adepts spend most of their lives training, gradually perfecting each sense one at a time

Xaotic (XAOSMEN)

Of course, greybeards point out that Xaotics are a conundrum. While embodying chaos, they all develop similar abilities, so obviously they aren't all that chaotic, are they? Other greybeards point out in turn that even slaadi have their own order as well, divided into neat color-coded subdivisions, so the following conclusion is achieved: it isn't so important, despite the assumptions of many a prime, that chaotic be distinctive or individual in nature. Rather, the Xaotics' spread of chaotic energy is proof enough of their lawless nature. But, ultimately, trying to make sense of it is a fool's Many bosses are Xaotics, or become Xaotics over time. After all, the pure quality of chaos in a Xaotic is undoubtedly inspiring to those to aspire to loose themselves completely from order, and the Xaotics lead by example (if not authority). While there's no true rank and file to the Xaositects, the Xaotics serve as a guiding light for the faction. Naturally, they only do so in often as they lead them.

1 - Nothing happens and the action and use of the power are wasted. 2 - the power backlashes against the caster. Treat the caster as the target or his square as the target square. 3 - the power hits a random target within range (other than the caster). 4 - the power is reshaped into a random effect. Randomly choose another power of the same type (atwill, encounter or daily) and level from the same power source, and treat it as if the caster had used that power instead. 5 - the power, inflict minimum damage. 6 - the power surges in power, automatically critting, as if the caster rolled a 20 on the die. Sustain Minor: The wildstrike persists.
