===Class Features===

All of the following are class features of the Miner.

'''Weapon and Armor Proficiency:''' Miners are proficient in simple weapons, the light pick and heavy pick, and light armor (but not shields).

'''{{Anchor|Dig}} {{Ex}}:''' The miner can dig through the ground at a rapid rate compared to most.  They can dig through 5 ft of loose soil, sand, or gravel a round with a DC 10 Profession Mining check, or 5 ft over the course of a minute through stone and other solid materials of hardness 8 or less, provided they have the appropriate tools (shovels or picks respectively).  For every +10 over DC 10, they can dig through an additional +5 ft.

'''{{Anchor|Identify Mineral}} {{Ex}}:''' The miner can make a special skill check using their class level + [[Int]] modifier to identify any material or ore, and if it is natural or has been altered.

'''{{Anchor|Power Attack}}:''' A 2nd level miner gets [[SRD:Power Attack|Power Attack]] as a bonus feat.  Most miners do not fight, but they do power attack often against stone.

'''{{Anchor|Break Object}} {{Ex}}:''' A 3rd level miner can make critical hits against objects and constructs.

'''{{Anchor|Darkvision}} {{Ex}}:''' A 4th level miner has grown accustomed to the dark.  They gain darkvision out to 60 ft, or add +60 ft to their pre-existing darkvision.

'''{{Anchor|Burrow}} {{Ex}}:''' The 5th level miner gains a burrow speed of 5 ft, and unlike normal burrow speeds they can go through solid materials of hardness 8 or lower, provided they are wielding the appropriate tools (shovel or pick).  At 10th level and every five levels beyond, the burrow speed increases by +5 ft.

'''{{Anchor|Miner's Lungs}} {{Ex}}:''' Miner's often die from lung disorders, but you have endured.  You can hold their breath for 10 minutes per point of [[Con]] score.  In addition, they can detect the presence of inhaled poisons and otherwise unbreathable air within 30 ft of them, giving them early warning.
