The Vosk Cultist

In far flung parts of the world there are ruined temples dedicated to Ancient Dragon Gods. One ofthese dragon gods is called Vosk, the Starlight Dragon. These places typically hold shrines thatmap the Heavens, as well as the moon. The protectors of these places are shapeshifting cultistsof a unique variety, for the dragon god Vosk grants the ability to transform into a vosk dragon.

Under the god Vosk's guidance, his cultists master their draconic powers from their blood,transformed through shared bloodletting rituals that bond their blood together with Vosk's. Afterthe rituals are complete, the cultists are no longer humanoid in the general sense. They begin tomanifest draconic traits as they progress with their abilities, eventually a cultist becomes a dragonoutright, and can pass their draconic bloodline to the next generation. Many cultist's children arehalf-dragon in their own right upon birth.

Class FeaturesAll of the following are class features of the Vosk Cultist.

Armor and Weapon Proficiency:The Vosk Cultist is proficient with all simple weapons plus any natural attacks it uses in its Vosk

Dragon form. The Vosk Cultist is proficient with no armor or shields.

Bonus Languages:A Vosk Cultist's bonus language options include Draconic, the language of dragons. This choiceis in addition to the bonus languages available to the character because of his race.

Spells:A Vosk Cultist casts divine spells drawn from the Cultist's Spell List shown here (link to secondpost). He can cast any spell he knows without preparing it ahead of time the way a cleric or


6/11

wizard must. When a Vosk Cultist gains access to a new level of spells, he automatically knowsall the spells for that level listed on the spell list. Essentially, his spell list is the same as his spellsknown list.

To cast a spell, a Vosk Cultist must have a Charisma score of 10 + the spells level. The DifficultyClass for a saving throw against a Vosk Cultist's spell is 10 + the spells level + the Vosk Cultist's

Charisma modifier.

Unlike a cleric or a wizard, a Vosk Cultist need not prepare his spells in advance. He can cast anyspell he knows at any time, assuming he has not yet used up his spells per day for that spelllevel. Like other spellcasters, a Vosk Cultist can cast only a certain number of spells of each spelllevel per day. His base daily spell allotment is given on the Table: The Vosk Cultist.

In addition, he receives bonus spells for a high Charisma score (see Table 11, page 8 of thePlayers Handbook).

1st - Claws of Vosk (Su):One of the first manifestations of draconic power that the Vosk Cultist gains is the ability tomanifest scaled dragon claws. As a move action (or swift action at 10th level), the Vosk Cultist

can manifest these claws in place of his hands.

The Vosk Cultist gains primary claw attacks (1d6) while the claws are manifested, but suffers a -2penalty on attack rolls with manufactured weapons. Also, he gains a +2 bonus on climb checksbut suffers a -2 penalty on any skill check requiring fine motor control of the hands (such as slightof hand or forgery). These claws can be manifested at will. These are considered naturalweapons and can be improved through anything effecting natural weapons.

1st - Scales (Ex):The second manifestation of draconic power is the Vosk Cultist's skin changing. Their skinhardens, growing little scales that blend the natural skin tones of the Cultist into a toughened hidethat can turn attacks with greater efficiency. The Vosk Cultist gains a +1 natural armor bonus tohis armor class while in his normal form. This bonus increases by +1 at 4th level and at every

three levels thereafter.

2nd - Bloodline of Vosk:Upon becoming a cultist, the Vosk Cultist has mixed his blood with Vosk's, becoming one withtheir God. From this point on you are considered a dragon for any prerequisites that require youto be a dragon, all while maintaining your current type. You also gain access to divine magicgranted through your new bloodline.

3rd - Breath Weapon (Su):Using a breath weapon is a standard action. Once a Vosk Cultist breathes, it cant breathe againuntil 1d4 rounds later. If a Vosk Cultist has more than one type of breath weapon, it still canbreathe only once every 1d4 rounds. A blast from a breath weapon always starts at anyintersection adjacent to the Vosk Cultist and extends in a direction of the Vosk Cultist's choice,

with an area as noted on the table below.

The breath weapon deals 1d6 damage per level of Vosk Cultist or racial level (if any), with thedamage type being chosen before each use. The Vosk Cultist may chose from several differenttypes of damage, including Acid, Cold, Electricity or Fire. Creatures caught in the area canattempt Reflex saves to take half damage. The save DC against a breath weapon is 10 + 1/2Vosk Cultist's level + Vosk Cultist's Con modifier.

4th - Metabreath Feat:The Vosk Cultist masters greater mastery over his breath weapons. He gains a metabreath featfrom either Dragons of Faerun, MM4 or Draconomicon books. The Vosk Cultist gains onemetabreath feat at 4th level, another at 10th level and his last one at 16th level.

5th - Vosk Dragon Form:

ability or spell-like abilities of the dragon but is fully able to cast spells and use spell like abilitiesas normal while in dragon form. He does however lose his racial supernatural and racialextraordinary abilities.
