Class Features

All of the following are class features of the Worldly Scoundrel.

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 divine spellcasting class before becoming a Worldly Scoundrel, you must decide to which class to add each level for the purpose of determining spells per day, caster level, and spells known.

The vines can extend almost indefinitely (as long as there surface) but grow at the rate of 50 feet per minute. Growing the vines require the worldly scoundrel concentration and any interruption will stop the process. Once the the worldly scoundrel stop concentrating the vines will live for 1 hour per level before drying up and shriveling. The climbing DC of the wines is 0.

Landtouched (Ex): A 3rd level worldly scoundrel is so well versed in the way of nature that she can automatically identify any plants, animals, magical beats or fey she encounter.

Terran Meditation (Su): At 7th level a worldly scoundrel is capable of entering a deep trance through meditation. By sitting down and concentrating for 10 minute she can replicate the effect of commune with nature or stone tell.

Chant of Nature (Ex): At 9th level the worldly scoundrel sing animate nature to fight for you in a way. While using bard music all natural terrain within 100 feet become difficult terrain for creatures hostile to you, if it was already difficult terrain it cause hostile creatures ending their turn on it to become entangled.
