====Class Features====

All of the following are class features of the <-class name->.

'''{{Anchor|Spellcasting}}:''' At each level, you gain new spells per day and an increase in caster level (and spells known, if applicable) as if you had also gained a level in a spellcasting class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level. You do not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If you had more than one arcane spellcasting class before becoming a Counter Mage, you must decide to which class to add each level for the purpose of determining spells per day, caster level, and spells known.

'''{{Anchor|Spontaneous Counterspelling}}:''' A level 1 Counter mage can [[counterspell]] a spell using any spell he knows  provided they are on the same level.

'''{{Anchor|Sense Magic}} {{Su}}:''' At 2nd level a Counter Mage can cast [[detect magic]] at will.

'''{{Anchor|Aura Of Arcane Disrupt}} {{Su}}:''' Anyone trying to cast a spell withing 60ft of the Counter Mage must succeed on a [[SRD:concentration]] check of 10+the the spell's level+1/2 of the Counter Mage's level or fail to cast that spell, this ability is considered a [[SRD:gaze]] ability.

'''{{Anchor|Spell Bender}}:''' A Counter Mage can choose to attempt a counterspell making a [[SRD:Spellcraft]] check with double the spell's level and instead of cancelling the spell he can redirect it to anyone he chooses, he must roll for the attack again but gains a bonus equal to half the original caster's spellcasting modifier. The spell he tries to bend must be a spell with a single target such as a [[frost ray]] or a [[magic missile]].

'''{{Anchor|Arcane Ruin}} {{Su}}:'''

You cast spells as a <-similar spellcasting class-> does.  [[#Table: <-class name-> Spells Known|Table: <-class name-> Spells Known]], below, details how many spells you can learn at each level.  An epic <-class name->’s number of [[SRD:Spells|spells]] per day does not increase after 10th level. Choose your spells from the following list:

'''{{Anchor|Power Points/Day}}:''' Your ability to manifest [[SRD:Powers|powers]] is limited by the [[SRD:Power Points|power points]] you have available. Your base daily allotment of [[SRD:Power Points|power points]] is given on [[#Table: The <-class name->|Table: The <-class name->]]. In addition, you receive bonus [[SRD:Power Points|power points]] per day if you have a high <-relevant ability-> score (see [[SRD:Ability Scores#Ability Modifiers and Bonus Power Points|Table: Ability Modifiers and Bonus Power Points]]). Your race may also provide bonus [[SRD:Power Points|power points]] per day, as may certain feats and items.  Your power points and bonus power points at each level do not increase automatically after 10th level.

'''{{Anchor|Powers Known}}:''' You begin play knowing X <-class name-> powers of your choice.  Each time you achieve a new level, you unlock the power of a new power.  You can manifest any power that has a power point cost equal to or lower than your manifester level.

The total number of powers you can manifest in a day is limited only by your daily power points.

You simply know your powers; they are ingrained in your mind. You do not need to prepare them (in the way that some spellcasters prepare their spells), though you must get a good night's sleep each day to regain all your spent power points.

The Difficulty Class for saving throws against <-class name-> powers is 10 + the power's level + your <-abbreviated relevant ability-> modifier.

Your powers known at each level do not increase automatically after 10th level.

You choose your powers from the following list (Exception: The [[SRD:Expanded Knowledge|Expanded Knowledge]] and [[SRD:Epic Expanded Knowledge|Epic Expanded Knowledge]] feats allow you to learn powers from the lists of other classes.):

1st&mdash;''<-this power->'', ''<-that power->'', ''<-and the other power->''UNIQ71b1856aea67ddf5-item-30--QINU.

'''{{Anchor|Maximum Power Level Known}}:''' This column determines the highest level power you can learn at this level.

To learn or manifest a power, you must have an <-relevant ability-> score of at least 10 + the power’s level.

'''{{Anchor|<-extraordinary class feature->}} {{Ex}}:''' <-class feature game rule information, including any differences in the class feature at epic levels->

'''''{{Anchor|<-psi-like class feature->}}'' {{Ps}}:''' <-class feature game rule information, including any differences in the class feature at epic levels->

'''''{{Anchor|<-spell-like class feature->}}'' {{Sp}}:''' <-class feature game rule information, including any differences in the class feature at epic levels->

'''{{Anchor|<-supernatural class feature->}} {{Su}}:''' <-class feature game rule information, including any differences in the class feature at epic levels->

''{{Anchor|<-subclass feature->}} <-"{{Ex}}", "{{Su}}", "{{Sp}}", or "{{Ps}}" if applicable.->:'' <-subclass feature game rule information->.

<-Lather, rinse...->

<-... repeat as necessary.->

'''{{Anchor|Bonus Feats}}:''' <- any bonus feats gained in pre-epic levels->.

The epic <-class name-> gains a bonus feat (selected from the list of epic <-class name-> feats) every <-# of levels-> levels after <-usually the last non epic level->.  

''Epic <-class name-> Bonus Feat List:'' <-list of bonus epic feats->
