== Disciple of the Cat Ear Clan ==

In cities where the oppression of a tyrannical government reigns supreme, part of the population sometimes rebels in the greatest secrecy. Originally, the organization of the rebellion revolved around a strong person leading the revolts to large government institutions. But these times of revolts led by men almost always resulted in corruption, violence, or the death penalty. Today, several decades after the first unsuccessful revolts, only a few cities still have rebel factions in their tortuous bowels. Most of the time, these are groups of common women united in dissident factions and who form networks of informants, smugglers, and combatants. Far from the affairs carried out by men, they become over time the guardians of serenity within working-class districts by using their connections and their influences in the shadow of the monarchs. The large cities of the desert lands are almost the only ones to have factions of these strong, temperamental, and courageous women. There are few men among the Cat's Ear Disciples Clan, and the few women who are part of it must have a strong mind, they must blend in with the crowd, be attentive to the slightest information, and be as discreet as possible. Like a cat that roams the city without attracting attention, each member of the clan is attentive to the gossip as the most important decision of the government. As soon as the situation in the city worsens, the members of the clan use their networks to exert pressure where it is necessary in the greatest discression.

===Making a Disciple of the Cat Ear Clan===

The disciple of the cat ear clan is like the ant in a colony. Alone it will be harmless, but within a team, it will reveal its potential, provided that the team that accepts it is as diverse as possible.

'''Abilities:''' Working in huge cities, disciples need to be discreet and attentive. Dexterity is an essential ability. Charisma is also of great help in obtaining information, in parliament, and in showing diplomacy in their actions.

'''Races:''' In theory, all races are accepted within the clan. However, disciples of the cat ear clan are almost entirely female. Males are generally not welcome there, with the strict exception of anthropomorphic felines which are tolerated in limited numbers. Humans are numerous in the clan, as are feline races, certain elves, giths, genasis, halflings, and asheratis. Anthropomorphic non-feline breeds are generally not well received. And dwarfs, orcs, goliaths, kobolds, and goblins almost never choose this path.

'''Alignment:''' The cat ear clan works in the shadow of government. They don't care about the law. The members of the clan are women of the people who rise up against tyranny and slavery. Most are chaotic good, neutral good, chaotic neutral, or strict neutral.

'''Starting Gold:''' 3d6&times;10 gp

'''[[SRD:Race Descriptions#Starting Age|Starting Age]]:''' Age is very important for the clan. Entering the clan is a vocation that arises at the beginning of adulthood, when the ideals of youth collide with the cold and cruel reality of the political world. We generally join the clan by majority, although some people join it a little before.

====Class Features====

All of the following are class features of the Disciple of the Cat Ear Clan.

'''Weapon and Armor Proficiency:''' A disciple of the Cat Ear Clan is proficient with all simple weapons, but is not proficient with armors and shields. The disciple can chose an exotic weapon. She gains proficiency to this weapon. In addition she can choose a number of martial weapons equal to his intelligence modifier, and gain proficiency to these weapons.

'''{{Anchor|Spells}}:''' Throughout his existence among the members of the cat ear clan, the disciple learns to use a special discipline called "Art of Transmutation of Body and Mind". With this discipline, she masters one form of magic called Transmutation. Transmutation is a special kind of magic that reproduce effects of certain spell from abjuration, transmutation, and divination schools. The disciple began his career with two Transmutations but can learn a lot as she gained experience. The transmutations she learns are chosen from any spell list (Cleric, Sorcerer, Bard, or even Druid), and must be choose from abjuration, transmutation, or divination school. She can only learn spell with personal range (like [[SRD:Arcane Sight|Arcane Sight]], [[SRD:Iron Body|Iron Body]], [[Shield]] or [[SRD:Glibness|Glibness]]), or that target a creature including her (like [[SRD:Bull's Strength|Bull’s Strength]], [[SRD:Spider Climb|Spider Climb]], [[SRD:Cloak of Chaos|Cloak of Chaos]] or [[Haste]]). She can only use these transmutations on herself.

At first level she must choose Wisdom or Charisma (and cannot change this choice). Then, to cast a transmutation, she must have a chosen ability score equal to 10 + spell level. She does not need to prepare or read her spells. She learns and cast them when she needs, and casts them like profane spells. To cast a Transmutation, she must spend a part of her daily intenal energy called Flux (See the Meditation ability below for further informations). Each level of Transmutation cost an amount of Flux described below.

'''Meditation ([[Su]]).''' It is not easy to master the art of transmutation, and the disciple must synchronize his body and his mind a little like a psionic. But unlike psionics, the disciple does not need to be in this state permanently. At the beginning of each day, the disciple must undertake a meditative trance which takes 30 minutes + 2 minutes for each known transmutation. During this meditation, she must not be interrupted (if not, she must start again). At the end of this meditation, perform a Concentration check and multiply the result of this check by the highest level of Transmutation to which you have access. This final result become your Flux pool available for the whole day. The Flux is your internal energy, and each day this energy reserve fluctuates. 

<b>Favorite Transmutation ([[Ex]]).</b> At 3rd level, choose a transmutation you know. This transmutation is always cast with +1 caster level. In addition, once a day, this transmutation can be cast by paying half the normal amount of Flux points you must normally pay (rounded down, minimum 1 flux point). You can choose another transmutation at level 6 and every 3 levels after.

<b>Supernatural Art ([[Ex]]).</b> At level 4 (and 4 level after), you can cast a transmutation as a supernatural ability instead of spell, but it consumes twice more flux points as normal and this amount cannot be reduced by another effect. For this, choose a Transmutation you know and that is a Favorite Transmutation, then, you must success a Concentration check with a DC of 10 + (2 x Transmutation level). If the check is successful, the transmutation is casted as a supernatural ability. Whether the concentration test is successful or not, two spells uses per day are consumed.

<b>Prodigious Art.</b> The disciple becomes more intimate with his art, and being his mastery of transmutations to a higher level each time. These following technics :

<i>Shared Transmutation</i> ([[Ex]]). At level 5, when you cast a Transmutation that is a Favorite Transmutation, you can choose a willing creature within 30 ft of you. This chosen creature receive the same effet as you, as per the effect of Share Spell. You must spends 3 Flux points from your Flux pool to use this ability.

<i>Linked Transmutation</i> ([[Ex]]). At level 8, when you cast a transmutation that is a Favorite Transmutation, you can choose another transmutation you know (with a different effect). This second transmutation cost only half the normal number of Flux points you should be pay, but you must cast it before the end of your next round to gain this benefit. You can use this ability one time per encounter.

<i>Healing Transmutation</i> ([[Ex]]). At level 11, when you cast a transmutation that is a Favorite Transmutation, you can pay one and a half the number of Flux points to recover a number of Health Points equal to the level of the transmutation x 1d10. You can use this ability one time per encounter.

<i>Counter Strike</i> ([[Su]]). At level 14, when an ally in a range of 30 ft of you is targeted by an attack or a spell that deal damage, you can use an immediate action to protect him with a transmutation on you. Firstly, roll a spellcraft check with a DC equal to 10 + level of the chosen active transmutation. If you success the spellcraft check, all effects of the choosen transmutation ends, and the spell energy is expelled as a poweful shield of glowing light that now surround the ally. This shield provide him a bonus to AC, a Spell Resistance, and a damage réduction equal to twice the spell level of the transmutation used for this effect. Then, immediately after the ally was hit (or miss) by the attack/spell, the glowing shield explode, and deal 5d12 force damages to the creature. If the chosen transmutation is a Favorite Transmutation, the creature must make a Fortitude save with a DC equal to 10 + spell level + spell ability modifier (Wisdom or Charisma). If it fails, it is push away to a distance of 2d4 x 5 ft of the ally, and is at bay for 1 round.

<i>Perfected Transmutation</i> ([[Ex]]). At level 17, when you cast a transmutation that is a Favorite Transmutation, you can pay twice the number of Flux points. All the variable numeric effects of the transmutation you cast using this ability are automatically maximized as per the effect of [[Maximize Spell]] feat. You can use this ability one time per encounter.

<i>Bond of the Divine</i> ([[Ex]]). At level 20, through meditation, you manage to maintain a divine bond with your tutelary deity. Now, when you cast a Transmutation that is a Favorite Transmutation, you can choose to cast it as a divine spell by spending 5 Flux from your Flux pool.

====Ex-Disciple of the Cat Ear Clan====

Betraying the clan is a bad idea. Clan members are not tender with traitors, condemning them to exile in hostile territories, or delivering them up as opponents of warlords or smugglers. In short, it is often a slow and painful death that awaits those who leave the clan. And although they retain their power and abilities, there is a good chance that the clan will make them the goal of a mission.
