===Making an Asuta Paragon===

Asuta paragons are notorious for being difficult to hit, manipulate or otherwise get the upper hand upon. However, they lack overwhelming strength and damage, and rely on their resilience to keep them in a fight. Many of their abilities are spread out fairly evenly, preventing them from superbly excelling in a single given area. As such, they work best with teammates that compliment their abilities.

'''Abilities:''' An 8th level asuta paragon has the following racial ability score adjustments (presented here for easy reference): [[SRD:Strength|+4 Strength]], [[SRD:Dexterity|+2 Dexterity]], [[SRD:Constitution|+4 Constitution]], [[SRD:Intelligence|+2 Intelligence]], [[SRD:Wisdom|+2 Wisdom]] and [[SRD:Charisma|+4 Charisma]]. Primarily for combat, one may choose [[SRD:Strength|Strength]] over [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]] as their primary ability score so that the character stays an effective damage dealer. However, the benefits of [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]] help him hold off opponents as well as make up for his less-optimal d8 [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]]. Depending on what way a player wishes to have his character approach his mental attributes, he may want to consider them (at least [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]]) over the more physical choice of [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]].

'''Races:''' This class is designed for use with the [[Asuta (3.5e Race)|asuta]]. A DM may give the option to allow a player playing an [[SRD:Outsider Type|outsider]] with both the [[SRD:Good Subtype|Good Subtype]] and [[SRD:Evil Subtype|Evil Subtype]] to take this class. Additionally, the DM may allow [[SRD:Good Subtype|Good Subtype]] [[SRD:Outsider Type|outsiders]] with an [[SRD:Alignment|evil alignment]] or [[SRD:Alignment|good alignment]] [[SRD:Outsider Type|outsiders]] with the [[SRD:Evil Subtype|Evil Subtype]] to take this class, though if they cease having either of those combinations of subtype and alignment, they may not take additional levels in this class until they once again qualify.

'''Alignment:''' Any.

'''Starting Gold:''' 5d4×10 gp (125 gp).

====Class Features====

All of the following are class features of the asuta paragon.

'''Weapon and Armor Proficiency:''' An asuta paragon gains no additional proficiencies.

'''{{Anchor|Racial Ability Score Boost}}:''' At 1st level and every asuta paragon level, he gains a racial bonus to his ability scores. At 1st level he gains [[SRD:Constitution|+2 Constitution]]. At 2nd level he gains [[SRD:Charisma|+2 Charisma]]. At 3rd level he gains [[SRD:Strength|+2 Strength]]. At 4th level he gains [[SRD:Intelligence|+2 Intelligence]]. At 5th level he gains an additional [[SRD:Constitution|+2 Constitution]]. At 6th level he gains [[SRD:Dexterity|+2 Dexterity]]. At 7th level he gains an additional [[SRD:Charisma|+2 Charisma]]. At 8th level he gains an additional [[SRD:Strength|+2 Strength]] as well as [[SRD:Wisdom|+2 Wisdom]]. Asuta paragons have potential for their racial prowess that requires training and growth to unlock.

'''{{Anchor|Damage Reduction}} {{Su}}:''' At 1st level, an asuta paragon gains [[SRD:Damage Reduction|Damage Reduction]] 1/Good or Evil. This [[SRD:Damage Reduction|damage reduction]] increases by 1 point per asuta paragon level. At 6th level, he gains a second set of [[SRD:Damage Reduction|Damage Reduction]] starting at 1/— that increases by 1 for each additional asuta paragon level. An asuta paragon's outsider body affords him protection from weapons.

'''{{Anchor|Resistance to Energy}} {{Ex}}:''' At 1st level, an asuta paragon gains [[SRD:Resistance to Energy|Resistance to Energy]] 2 to [[SRD:Acid Effect|acid]], [[SRD:Cold Effect|cold]], [[SRD:Electricity Effect|electricity]] and [[SRD:Fire Effect|fire]]. This [[SRD:Resistance to Energy|resistance to energy]] increases by 2 points per asuta paragon level. An asuta paragon's resilience by being composed of many forms of blood lineages affords them protection over many elements.

'''{{Anchor|Spell Dampening}} {{Ex}}:''' At 2nd level, an asuta paragon gains [[Spell Dampening (3.5e Creature Ability)|Spell Dampening]] 1. This increases by 1 point every other asuta paragon level. He may choose to allow spells to bypass his [[Spell Dampening (3.5e Creature Ability)|Spell Dampening]] as a non-action. An asuta paragon is able to inhibit the effects of spells affecting him thanks to his magical essences.

'''{{Anchor|Toxin Resistance}} {{Ex}}:''' At 1st level, an asuta paragon gains a +2 bonus on saves to resist [[SRD:Disease|diseases]] and [[SRD:Poison|poisons]]. When rolling saves against [[SRD:Disease|diseases]] and [[SRD:Poison|poisons]], dice rolls of a natural 1s aren't automatic failures. This bonus increases to +3 at 3rd, +4 at 5th and +5 at 7th asuta paragon levels. An asuta paragon, with his mixed composition, resists diseases and poisons.

'''{{Anchor|Smite}} {{Su}}:''' At 1st level, an asuta paragon can imbue an attack to deal extra damage equal to his [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]] total against any good-aligned or evil-aligned foe. He adds his [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]] bonus (if any) to this [[SRD:Attack Roll|attack roll]]. Initially, an asuta must recharge his smite before he is able to use it again by spending a [[SRD:Standard Actions|standard action]]. At 4 HD, he may optionally regain his smite as a [[SRD:Move Action|move action]]. An asuta paragon is fully capable of using the power of his essences to bring his wrath upon his enemies.

'''{{Anchor|Special Defenses}} {{Ex}}:''' At 1st level, whenever an asuta paragon [[SRD:Full-Round Actions#Fighting Defensively as a Full-Round Action|fights defensively]], uses [[SRD:Combat Expertise|Combat Expertise]] with at least a –2 to [[SRD:Attack Roll|attack rolls]] or enters a [[SRD:Standard Actions#Total Defense|total defense]], he gains a +2 bonus to all his Damage Reductions, a +4 bonus to his Energy Resistances and a +1 bonus to his [[Spell Dampening (3.5e Creature Ability)|Spell Dampening]].

'''{{Anchor|Brush Aside Blow}} {{Ex}}:''' At 2nd level, an asuta paragon may use an [[SRD:Immediate Actions|immediate action]] or all remaining uses of making attacks of opportunity for the round to attempt to brush aside an incoming melee or ranged weapon attack so long as he is armed. He must make an opposed attack roll, gaining a +4 bonus to the roll if he's fighting defensively. If he's successful, the incoming attack misses. Otherwise, he's rendered [[SRD:Flat-Footed|flat-footed]] against the incoming attack. An attack result of a natural 20 against him cannot be brushed aside while a natural 20 with his opposed check always brushes aside the incoming attack.

'''{{Anchor|Masterwork Body}}:''' At 2nd level, an asuta paragon gains [[Masterwork Body (3.5e Feat)|Masterwork Body]] (In a higher balance game, he may gain [[Scaling Masterwork Body (3.5e Feat)|Scaling Masterwork Body]] instead) as a bonus feat. If he already possesses this feat, he may choose another feat of an appropriate balance he meets the prerequisites for.

'''{{Anchor|Natural Armor}}:''' At 2nd level, an asuta paragon gains +1 [[SRD:Armor Class|Natural armor]]. His natural armor improves to +2 at 4th, +3 at 6th and +4 at 8th asuta paragon levels. His lineage makes him naturally tough.

'''{{Anchor|Touch of Duality}} {{Su}}:''' At 2nd level, an asuta paragon may channel the essences of his composition, delivering it with a simple touch.

''{{Anchor|Touch of the Heavens}} {{Su}}:'' As an attack action, an asuta paragon may make a melee [[SRD:Touch Attack|touch attack]] to fill his target with ecstasy, wonder, delight, rapture, resolve and courage. His touch grants a +2 morale bonus to [[SRD:Attack Roll|attacks]], damage, [[SRD:Skills Summary|skills]], [[SRD:Using Skills#Ability Checks|ability checks]] and [[SRD:Saving Throw|saves]]. The effects last for 1 minute. Unwilling targets are allowed a [[SRD:Will|Will]] save ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 10 + 1/2 his [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]] + his [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]] modifier) to negate the effects. The bonus granted by this ability increases to +3 at 5 HD, +4 at 10 HD and finally +5 at 15 HD. Asutas are naturally immune to this ability.

''{{Anchor|Touch of the Hells}} {{Su}}:'' As a attack action, an asuta paragon may make a melee [[SRD:Touch Attack|touch attack]] to fill his target with pain, horrors, sorrows, loss, despair and torment. His touch bestows a -2 morale penalty to [[SRD:Attack Roll|attacks]], damage, [[SRD:Skills Summary|skills]], [[SRD:Using Skills#Ability Checks|ability checks]] and [[SRD:Saving Throw|saves]]. The effects last for 1 minute. Unwilling targets are allowed a [[SRD:Will|Will]] save ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 10 + 1/2 his [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]] + his [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]] modifier) to negate the effects. The penalty bestowed by this ability increases to –3 at 5 HD, –4 at 10 HD and finally –5 at 15 HD. Asutas are naturally immune to this ability.

'''{{Anchor|Glide}} {{Ex}}:''' With wings outstretched, an asuta paragon can glide at 3rd level. When capable, his wings enable him to negate damage from a fall of any height and allow 20 feet of forward travel for every 5 feet of descent. Asuta paragons glide at a speed of 40 feet with poor maneuverability. If an asuta paragon's maneuverability improves, he still can't hover while gliding. An asuta paragon can't glide while carrying a medium or heavy load. If an asuta paragon becomes unconscious or helpless while in midair, his wings unfurl and hold in their gliding position. The asuta paragon descends in a fluttering spiral and takes only 1d6 falling damage, no matter the actual falling distance. 

An asuta counts half his HD from other sources towards when he qualifies for his asuta [[#Fly|Fly]] ability after gaining Glide. Thus, a 3rd level asuta paragon with 6 levels in another class counts as a 6th level asuta paragon, gaining the [[#Fly|Fly]] ability with the increased speed and maneuverability thereof.

'''{{Anchor|Heritage Power}} {{Su}}:''' At 3rd level, an asuta paragon taps into abilities tied to the most numerous and known lineages. He gains one of the abilities of his choice from the list. He gains another at 5th and a final at 7th asuta paragon level.

:*''Many Tongues:'' An asuta paragon gains the ability to speak and understand the language of any intelligent creature as per ''[[SRD:Tongues|tongues]]''.

:*''Short Range Telepathy:'' An asuta paragon can telepathically communicate with creatures with an Intelligence of at least 3 within 25 feet + 5 feet per 2 HD that he shares a common language with.

:*''See In Darkness:'' An asuta paragon can see perfectly in darkness (including magical darkness) out to the range of his darkvision. The range of his darkvision increases by 60 feet per 5 HD he possesses.

:*''Limited Teleport:'' An asuta paragon can ''[[SRD:Teleport|teleport]]'' as the spell as a 1 round action with a 1 minute cool-down per use. ''Special: An asuta paragon must be at least 7 HD to gain this ability.''

:*''Defensive Aura:'' An asuta paragon can generate an aura (which can be turned on or off on as a non-action at any time) that radiates out to 20 feet. The asuta may, as a non-action, grant itself or a creature in range of the aura, a +2 deflection bonus to AC and a +2 untyped bonus on saving throws.

:*''Special Resistances:'' An asuta paragon gains his [[#Toxin Resistance|Toxin Resistance]] bonus to checks against [[SRD:Petrified|petrification]], [[SRD:Polymorph (Spell)|polymorphing]] (as well as other shape-changing effects), [[SRD:Sickened|sickening]] and [[SRD:Nauseated|nauseating]]. Additionally, he gains half the value of his [[#Resistance to Energy|Resistance to Energy]] to other forms of typed non-physical energy (such as [Light], [Sonic] and [Force]).

:*''Concordance:'' Gain the [[SRD:Chaotic Subtype|Chaotic]] and [[SRD:Lawful Subtype|Lawful]] subtypes, however, his DR is now bypassed by Chaos, Evil, Good or Law. He may use any alignment-based equipment without penalty and may now [[#Smite|smite]] lawful and chaotic creatures. 

::If he possesses [[#Manifest Blood Alignment|Manifest Blood Alignment]] he may optionally align his weapons with the [[SRD:Anarchic|anarchic]] or [[SRD:Axiomatic|axiomatic]] enhancements and additionally make his DR only bypassed by one of his alignment subtypes instead of all four while active.

'''{{Anchor|Face of the Planes}} {{Su}}:''' At 3rd level, an asuta paragon gains the ability to manifest his multitudinous lineages to change his appearance at will to mimic superficial traits of other [[SRD:Outsider Type|outsiders]], but only while in his normal form. This affects the asuta paragon’s body, altering his possessions to fit his new form but not their overall appearance. Possessions that leave his body return to normal. This effect is a minor physical alteration of his appearance. He may become 1 foot shorter or taller and modify up to 25% of his normal weight. He cannot change his body type. Otherwise, the extent of the apparent change is up to him. He could add or obscure a minor feature or look like member of a different race (within the limits of the ability). He does not gain the abilities or mannerisms of the form he is simulating. When used as part of a [[SRD:Disguise Skill|Disguise]] check, he gains a racial bonus equal to his HD total. The [[SRD:Disguise Skill|Disguise]] check is made as a [[SRD:Standard Actions|standard action]].

'''{{Anchor|Embody Outsider Blood}} {{Su}}:''' At 4th level, an asuta paragon furthers his ability to mimic other outsiders, granting him a resistance to their innate abilities. As a [[SRD:Swift Action|swift action]], he may emulate the blood of another outsider within 60 feet of himself that he is aware of. He gains a +4 racial bonus on saves against racially-granted spellcasting, [[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Spell-like|spell-like]] and [[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Supernatural|supernatural]] abilities to that specific race of outsider for 1 round.

'''{{Anchor|Manifest Blood Alignment}} {{Su}}:''' At 4th level, as a [[SRD:Swift Actions|swift action]], an asuta paragon, calling upon his inner power, may align his weapons with either the [[SRD:Holy|holy]] or [[SRD:Unholy|unholy]] enhancements. Additionally, his asuta paragon alignment-based damage reduction when using this ability is treated as bypassed by either Good or Evil (instead of both) at his choice. This effect lasts until the start of his next turn. 

'''{{Anchor|Fly}} {{Ex}}:''' At 5th level, the asuta paragon's wings fully mature. He loses his glide speed and gains a [[SRD:Fly|fly]] speed of 40 feet with poor maneuverability. At 6th level, his [[SRD:Fly|fly]] speed increases to 50 feet and his maneuverability increases to average. At 7th level, his [[SRD:Fly|fly]] speed increases to 60 feet. At 8th level, his [[SRD:Fly|fly]] speed increases to 80 feet and his maneuverability increases to good.

'''{{Anchor|Urge Lifeforce}} {{Su}}:''' At 5th level, an asuta paragon can heal a creature or himself of 1 HP of damage with a touch at will. As a [[SRD:Full-Round Actions|full-round action]] with a touch, he may also convert a number of Vile damage affecting a creature equal to his HD total into 1 point of [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]] [[SRD:Ability Burn|burn]]. Additionally, he automatically [[SRD:Stable|stabilizes]] while at negative HP, gaining [[SRD:Fast Healing|Fast Healing]] equal to half his HD total until he reaches 1 HP. His essences are able to call out the will to live in creatures.

'''{{Anchor|Manifest Dominant Blood Alignment}} {{Su}}:''' At 6th level, he may [[#Manifest Blood Alignment|Manifest Blood Alignment]] as an [[SRD:Immediate Actions|immediate action]]. While active only one alignment-based subtype of his choice is active and the others are dormant (where he only takes effects from having them when beneficial).

'''{{Anchor|Maddening Essence}} {{Su}}:''' At 7th level, the asuta paragon learns to release waves of his essences, composed of good and evil, to drive those afflicted into a state of confused hysteria as their senses are overwhelmed with conflicting sensations. Afflicted subjects are unable to act on under their own accord. The asuta paragon may choose a number of targets within short range (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) equal to 1 per 3 of his [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]] (3 targets at 9 HD, 4 at 12 HD and so on). Targeted subjects are allowed a [[SRD:Will Save|Will]] save ([[SRD:DC|DC]] 10 + 1/2 his [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]] + his [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]] modifier). Targets are afflicted for a number of rounds equal to 1/2 his [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]]. An asuta paragon may use this ability 1/minute.

Roll on the following table at the beginning of each afflicted subject’s turn each [[SRD:Round|round]] to see what the subject does in that [[SRD:Round|round]].

{| class="zebra d20"

|}

An afflicted subject who can’t carry out the indicated action does nothing but shout babbling nonsense. An afflicted subject is unable to communicate properly while under this effect, only able to convey gibberish and nonsense through any form of communication. Attackers are not at any special advantage when attacking an afflicted subject. Any afflicted subject who is attacked automatically attacks its attackers on its next turn, as long as it is still afflicted when its turn comes (with no need to roll on the chart). Note that a afflicted subject will not make [[SRD:Attack of Opportunity|attacks of opportunity]] against any creature that it is not already devoted to attacking (either because of its most recent action or because it has just been attacked).

This ability is a [[SRD:Mind-Affecting Effect|mind-affecting]] [[SRD:Compulsion Subschool|compulsion]] and is equivalent to a spell of a level equal to 1/2 the asuta paragon's [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]] (maximum of 9th at 18 [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]]).

'''{{Anchor|Resist Teleport}} {{Ex}}:''' At 7th level, whenever the asuta paragon is subject to involuntary planar travel or teleportation, his arrival is delayed for 1 round as his essences struggle against the effect. Teleportation effects for movement beginning and ending on the same plane temporarily strand him on the [[SRD:Astral Plane|Astral Plane]] for one round. Planar traveling effects temporarily leave him within an extra-dimensional non-space (with whatever environmental atmosphere he was with upon his departure) for one round. During this one round delay, he is allowed a secondary save against the effect. If the secondary save is successful, he returns to the spot he departed from at the end of his turn. If the space he departed from is occupied, he is shunted harmlessly to the nearest open space. If the effect didn't offer a save, he arrives at his intended destination as per normal for the effect.

'''{{Anchor|Consummate Blood}} {{Ex}}:''' At 8th level, an asuta paragon reaches the pinnacle of his disparate bloodlines. He now calculates his asuta paragon [[SRD:Damage Reduction|Damage Reduction]], [[Spell Dampening (3.5e Creature Ability)|Spell Dampening]] and [[SRD:Resistance to Energy|Resistance to Energy]] to account for all his [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]]. His [[SRD:Damage Reduction|Damage Reduction #/Good or Evil]] is equal to the number of his total [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]] while his [[SRD:Damage Reduction|Damage Reduction #/—]] is equal to the number of his total [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]] –5. His [[Spell Dampening (3.5e Creature Ability)|Spell Dampening]] is equal to half his total [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]]. His [[SRD:Resistance to Energy|Resistance to Energy]] is equal to twice the number of his total [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]]. The asuta paragon gains Immunity to [[SRD:Acid Effect|acid]], [[SRD:Cold Effect|cold]], [[SRD:Electricity Effect|electricity]] and [[SRD:Fire Effect|fire]] at 20 [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]].
