The Channeler

5

Channeling is a dangerous art and has claimed the lives of many an unwary practitioner, but the sheer power a channeler wields means there will always be those will-ing to take the risk. Channelers gain their power by tap-ping into a primaey force of existence such as chaos or the four elements, and channeling this power directly through his own body, transforming it into spells. While this allows a channeler to wield some of the most potent arcane powers imaginable, it comes at a cost: the channeler’s own health and strength. Every channeler walks a dangerous line, trading his resiliency for arcane power, tapping into extreme heights of magic, but always knowing a wrong move could leave him weak, crippled, and at the mercy of his enemies.

The ChannelerRole: A Channeler is a master of arcane power, like the wizard or sorcerer, and has a similar array of abilities. Un-like his fellows, however, a channeler must sacrifice his hit points to cast his spells, powering his magic by channeling it through his own body. This allows a channeler to achieve greater heights of power than his fellows, but always at the cost of his own life force.

The Channeler

Four arrows flew from the bushes, striking Taikall in the back. A bottle followed, bursting in fire all across his back. There was a shocked cry from the robed man as he buckled over. The goblin bandits stepped from their hiding places, notching arrows as they went.“You dead, wizard! We cut you up and eat your flesh-”The goblin’s voice cut off as Taikall grabbed him by the throat. The ground erupted in fire, blasting the other goblins into the air. Taikall stood up and lifted the first goblin by the neck, staring it down as his other hand burst into flame.“Bring more archers next time.”

Alignment: Any.

Hit Die: d8.

Starting Wealth: 2d6 × 10 gp (average 70 gp.) In addition, each character begins play with an outfit worth 10 gp or less.

Class SkillsThe channeler’s class skills are Diplomacy (Cha), Craft (Int), Fly (Dex), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge (arcana, nature, planes) (Int), Profession (Wis), Spellcraft (Int), and Use Magic Device (Cha).

Skill Ranks Per Level: 4 + Int modifier.

Weapon and Armor Proficiencies: A channeler is pro-ficient with all simple weapons. He is not proficient with shields or with any form of armor. A channeler suffers a chance of arcane spell failure if they are using a shield or wearing armor and cast a spell with a somatic component.

Spells: A channeler chooses spells from the Wizard/Sorcer-er spell list. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a channeler’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the channeler’s Charisma modifier. To cast a spell, a channeler must have a Charisma score of at least 10 + the spell’s level.

A channeler does not gain extra spells per day from having a high Charisma. Instead, as a channeler creates his spells by channeling a force of creation through his body, the number of spells a channeler can cast is principally determined by the amount of strain his body can handle. Whenever a channeler casts a spell, he must sacrifice a number of hit points equal to twice the spell’s level.
