Class Features

All of the following are class features of the Spellthief.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: <-description of class weapon & armor proficiencies->.

BLARG -- this is crap. I am going to rewrite my rewrite...

• points based system
  • Steal spell will have a scale of points based on what is being stolen and what kind of action:
  • Spell = 0 points
  • Spell-like = 1 point
  • Supernatural activated ability = 2 points
  • Part of a sneak attack = 0 points
  • Readied action to counter = 1 point
  • AoO = 4 points

Magic Points (Su): You are a magnet to magical energy, drawing it its power. This power is represented by magic points, which are used to power your class abilities.

You can have a maximum number of magic points equal to 4 + 1/2 your class level + your charisma modifier.

Each round, you recharge 2 magic points, drawing the power from ambient magical energies.

Whenever a spell is cast, spell-like ability is cast, or activated supernatural ability is used within 5ft. of you, you regain 1 magic point. This range increases by 5ft. per 3 class levels.

Whenever you fail a saving throw against a spell, spell-like ability, or activated supernatural ability, you regain 2 magic points.

By spending a standard action plus a swift action, you can regain a number of magic points equal to your charisma modifier.

Steal Spells (Su): You can steal spells, spell-like abilities, or activated supernatural abilities. For the purposes of this ability, spells, spell-like abilities, and activated supernatural abilities are called spells.

There are two methods of stealing a spell, spell-like ability, or activated supernatural ability: disabling and countering.

Disabling: Spells and Spell-Like Abilities

Whenever you hit with a sneak attack, you can forgo any number of sneak attack dice to steal an equal amount of spell levels from your opponent. Your opponent must make a Will save DC 10 + 1/2 your class level + your charisma modifier or else you can see their prepared spells (or spell list if they are a spontaneous caster) and choose any number of spells that have a total spell level equal to the amount of sneak attack dice you decided to forgo.

After stealing a spell, you can cast the spell yourself during the next 3 rounds. Treat the spell as if it were cast by the original owner of the spell for the purpose of determining caster level, save DC, and so forth. You can cast this spell even if you do not have the minimum ability score normally required to cast a spell of that level. You must supply the same components (including verbal, somatic, material, XP, and any focus) required for the stolen spell.

The owner of the spells you stole cannot cast those spells (or any metamagic version of them) for 3 rounds, but may make a new saving throw each round to end the effect, at which point you lose access to the spells. The owner also loses the spell slot (or prepared spell) for each of the spells you stole.

This ability costs magic points according to the following:

• Melee sneak attack - 1 magic point
• Ranged sneak attack - 2 magic points
• Each additional usage of this ability this round - +1 cumulative magic points

Disabling: Supernatural Abilities

Whenever you hit with a sneak attack, you can forgo any number of sneak attack dice to steal an activated supernatural ability from your opponent. Your opponent must make a Will save DC 10 + the number of sneak attack you forgo + your charisma modifier or else you can see what activated supernatural abilities they have available and steal one of them.

After stealing a supernatural ability, you can use it once yourself during the next 3 rounds. Treat the ability as if it were used by the original owner for the purpose of determining damage, save DC, and so forth. You must supply the same components (including verbal, somatic, material, XP, and any focus) required.

The owner of the ability cannot use it for 3 rounds, but may make a new saving throw each round to end the effect, at which point you lose access to the supernatural ability.

This ability costs magic points according to the following:

• Melee sneak attack - 3 magic points
• Ranged sneak attack - 4 magic points
• Each additional usage of this ability this round - +1 cumulative magic points

Countering: Spells and Spell-Like Abilities

Whenever a spell's line of effect comes within 5 ft. of you, you can attempt to counter it.

To counter a spell, make an Attack of Opportunity or readied attack against an armor class equal to 10 + the caster level of the spell + the caster's primary ability modifier. If you hit, the spell is countered and you have stolen it. You can automatically steal a spell being cast from a willing target.

After stealing a spell, you can cast the spell yourself during the next 3 rounds. Treat the spell as if it were cast by the original owner of the spell for the purpose of determining caster level, save DC, and so forth. You can cast this spell even if you do not have the minimum ability score normally required to cast a spell of that level. You must supply the same components (including verbal, somatic, material, XP, and any focus) required for the stolen spell.

Unlike a disabled spell, the caster of the original spell is free to cast the same spell again.

This ability costs magic points according to the following:

• Readied attack - 3 magic points
• Attack of Opportunity - 6 magic points

Countering: Supernatural Abilities

Whenever a supernatural ability is activated within 5 ft. of you, you can attempt to counter it.

To counter the ability, make an Attack of Opportunity or readied attack against an armor class equal to 10 + the HD of the creature + the creature's highest ability modifier. If you hit, the ability is countered and you have stolen it.

After stealing a supernatural ability, you can use it once yourself during the next 3 rounds. Treat the ability as if it were used by the original owner for the purpose of determining damage, save DC, and so forth. You must supply the same components (including verbal, somatic, material, XP, and any focus) required.

Unlike a disabled ability, the owner of the original ability is free to use it again.

This ability costs magic points according to the following:

• Readied attack - 4 magic points
• Attack of Opportunity - 8 magic points

Spells: <-Delete this section if this class does not cast spells. description of spellcasting abilities: on what stat save DCs are based, on what stat bonus spells are based, and what stat determines the highest level spell that can be cast.->. Spellthieves choose their spells from the following list:

1st—Alarm and Magic Aura*, Detect Secret Doors and Detect Poison*, Disguise Self, Pass without Trace, Silent Image, Ventriloquism and Ghost Sound*

*Considered one choice when selecting a spell known, but must be cast separately.

2nd—Alter Self, Darkness, Greater Dispel Magic, Invisibility, Spider Climb, Undetectable Alignment

3rd—Blink, Deeper Darkness, Dimensional Anchor, Misdirection, Nondetection

4th—Dimension Door, Freedom of Movement, Glibness, Greater Invisibility

A spellthief is able to recharge their spellcasting much faster than most other arcane spellcasters at the cost of a small selection of spells and fewer uses at a time. Rather than having spells per day, a spellthief can cast a number of spell levels as shown in Table: The Spellthief. This restriction only applies to the spellthief's innate spellcasting and not to stolen spells. Unlike with a spells per day system, a spellthief does not gain any bonus spells based on a high ability score.

To recharge his spells, a spellthief must rest 5 minutes.
