Samhain Spooker[edit]
The Samhain Spooker is a magic user that is particularly themed around summoning monsters, being able to wear those monsters like a costume, and using spooky magic. They draw their power from the powers of harvest, night, nightmares, and revelry, and use many spells that are entirely normal, but have strange manifestations involving candy and creepy crawlers. Note-- Samhain is pronounced saw-in or sow-win
Making a Samhain Spooker[edit]
<-Strong points and weak points, and effectiveness with party members.->.
Abilities: Charisma is the most important ability for a Samhain Spooker, as their magic is Charisma based. When they have to wade into combat, they're likely to do so in Eidolon Form, which replaces everything but their mental ability scores.
Races: Most, if not all, races can call on the magic of the Harvest Festival Revel, but the class is particularly attractive to races that are already a bit spooky, outside the norm, or inherently tied to the spirits of harvest and nightmares.
Alignment: Any. They are seldom good, but it's not impossible or forbidden.
Starting Gold: 4d4×10 gp (100 gp).
Starting Age: As rogue.

Class Skills (8 + Int modifier per level, ×4 at 1st level) Class Features[edit]All of the following are class features of the samhain spooker. Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Samhain Spookers are proficient in all simple weapons, all axes and hammers, tridents, scythes, and all whips and chains. They are proficient in all light armor, as well as any armor that is primarily made from hide, leather, or otherwise made from a living creature (such as chitin). Spells: A Samhain Spooker casts arcane spells drawn from the Samhain Spooker spell list. They can cast any spell they know without preparing it ahead of time, assuming they have not yet used up their allotment of spells per day for the spell’s level. To learn or cast a spell, a Samhain Spooker must have a Charisma score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a summoner’s spell is 10 + half hit die + the summoner’s Charisma modifier. A Samhain Spooker can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level each day. Their base daily spell allotment is given on Table: Samhain Spooker. In addition, they receive bonus spells per day if they have a high Charisma score (see Table: Ability Modifiers and Bonus Spells). A Samhain Spooker’s selection of spells is extremely limited. A Samhain Spooker begins play knowing four 0-level spells and two 1st-level spells of their choice. At each new Samhain Spooker level, they gain one or more new spells as indicated on Table: Samhain Spooker Spells Known. (Unlike spells per day, the number of spells a Samhain Spooker knows is not affected by their Charisma score. The numbers on Table: Samhain Spooker Spells Known are fixed.) Upon reaching 4th level, and at every second Samhain Spooker level thereafter (6th, 8th, and so on), a Samhain Spooker can choose to learn a new spell in place of one they already know. In effect, the Samhain Spooker “loses” the old spell in exchange for the new one. The new spell’s level must be the same as that of the spell being exchanged, and it must be at least one level lower than the highest-level summoner spell they can cast. A Samhain Spooker may swap out only a single spell at any given level and must choose whether or not to swap the spell at the same time that they gain new spells known for the level. Samhain Spookers choose their spells from the following list: 0—acid splash, arcane mark, caltrops², cure minor wounds¹, dancing lights, daze, detect magic¹, electric jolt², ember, ghost sound, ghostharp², inflict minor wounds¹, launch item², mage hand, mending, message, no light ³, open/close, preserve organ³, prestidigitation¹, purify food/drink, read magic, resistance, spook, stick²,

Candle Eyes (Su): The eyes (and mouth) of the Samhain Spooker glow in whatever color they choose at all times, unless suppressed. This duplicates the effects of the psionic power my light. Additionally, they may use detect magic at will, and replicate detect poison or identify at will with a 1 minute ritual. Spectral Skein (Su): The main ability of the Samhain Spooker is the ability to conjure an eldritch facade that draws on the many spooky things of nightmares and the dark places of the world. This is somewhat similar to the ability of the Synthesist Summoner or Monster Channeler, but the forms the Samhain Spooker takes are more defined and less individually powerful. The samhain spooker begins play knowing two costumes and gains a new costume at every odd level. Donning a Spectral Skein requires a Full Round action at first level. At 3rd level, it becomes a Standard Action, then a Move at 6th, a Swift at 9th, a Free at 12th, and an Immediate action at 15th level. The flaws given by costumes do not give a bonus feat (the bonus feat is in effect the benefits of the costume). The samhain spooker may use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + their class level, and a costume lasts for 3 + charisma modifier rounds, unless ended early (A full round action). If a samhain spooker is granted a natural attack by a costume and they already have that attack naturally, use the higher damage and increase it by one step.
Summon Minion of the Night (Sp): Starting at 1st level, a samhain spooker can summon a creature of fear and darkness a number of times per day equal to 3 + their Charisma modifier. This effect is effectively Summon Monster, except the creatures remain for 1 minute per level (instead of 1 round per level). At 3rd level, and every 2 levels thereafter, the power of this ability increases by one spell level, allowing them to summon more powerful creatures. For the creatures that can be summoned at each level, see Summon Minion of the Night Level Lists A samhain spooker cannot have more than one such effect active in this way at one time. If this ability is used again, any existing such effect immediately ends. These spells are considered to be part of their spell list for the purposes of spell trigger and spell completion items, and are always known to the samhain spooker for free. In addition, they can expend uses of this ability to fulfill the construction requirements of any magic item they create, so long as they can use this ability to cast the required spell. Tricks and Treats (Sp): The samhain spooker is primarily known for their monsters and spooky magic, but they also embrace the tradition of gathering and handing out treats to their friends and tricks to their enemies (or vice versa, whatever, I’m not your mom). A samhain spooker’s cantrips are not expended when used, and they always know Goodberry and the Cure and Inflict spells appropriate to their spell levels usable per day. When a samhain spooker casts goodberry or a cure spell, they conjure a handful of candy that embodies the effect, when they cast an inflict spell, they conjure eggs, shaving cream, or similar tools of pranking which embodies the effect. These embodied effects act similar to potions or oils, and remain usable for a number of rounds equal to the samhain spooker’s class level, after which point the magic evaporates and the conjured material becomes entirely mundane. The materials conjured this way act as if created by prestidigitation, but explicitly are instantaneous creations, as opposed the ambiguity of the permanency of prestidigitation created items. As these spell effects are embodied in materials, they can be handed around and thrown. A thrown Trick or Treat has a range increment of 10 ft and is a ranged touch attack. The effect can take effect when it touches the target (whether thrown at or to them), or when it is consumed, at the option of the samhain spooker. The samhain spooker also gains Alchemical Mastery and Augmented Alchemy as a bonus feat. At 3rd level, they gain Var. Brew Potion. Spooky Companion: At 2nd level, the Samhain Spooker is always accompanied by some form of spooky companion. They may choose whether this acts as a familiar, animal companion, skeletal minion, special mount, or the like, and it follows the normal rules for the chosen specific thing (scaling to character level), except that it can always speak with its Samhain Spooker master, and always has a minimum intelligence of 3, even if it’s a skeletal minion. For familiars, mounts and animal companions, the appropriate form is generally some form of spooky animal, such as bats, ravens, wolves, spiders, and so on, but horses, goats, and other things not generally seen as “spooky” can be spooky, too. When desired or necessary, the spooky companion can take on a shadowy, indistinct form that lurks in shadows near the Samhain Spooker which is otherwise functionally and mechanically identical to the familiar pocket spell, except for not blocking line of sight, because they’re just in shadows, not a pocket. If you gain a familiar, mount or animal companion from another source you may choose one of the following-
Finally, at your option, when you gain a Spooky Companion, you may also gain one of the following as a bonus feat– Anthropomorphic Companion, Blood Companion, Construct Companion, Shadow FamiliarToM or Stitched-flesh FamiliarLM. You control the aesthetic of what the chosen feat does, so your construct familiar can be a disturbing scarecrow-like thing of wicker and sticks, your stitched-flesh familiar can be skeletal instead of Frankenstein, etc. Minion Form (Su): In addition to their Spectral Skeins, the 2nd level samhain spooker may take on the form of a creature they can summon with Summon Minion of the Night. This is always a standard action (it does not reduce as Spectral Skein does over levels), and requires expending one use of the Summon Minion of the Night ability. When the samhain spooker takes on a Minion Form, they take on the full statistics and abilities of the chosen minion, as Polymorph Self, and do not retain any of their normal abilities, except the languages they speak if the chosen minion form is capable of speech. Relentless Spooks: At 2nd level, the samhain spooker gains Serial Killer as a bonus feat, regardless of their actual alignment. Bag of Spooks (Su): At 3rd level, the samhain spooker gains a special magic sack which functions as a permanent black bagBoVD effect. Unlike the normal spell, however, this bag can contain any item created by the samhain spooker (in effect, all items they create whether through mundane or magical crafting are evil), any form of sweets, and anything which involves necromancy, conjuration or illusion magic so long as it does not have the [Good] descriptor. The bag of spooks also provides the samhain spooker with Fiery BurstCM as a bonus feat. Bonus Feat: At 4th level, and again at 8th level and every 4 levels thereafter, you gain a bonus feat chosen from the following options- Aberrant Summoning, Advanced Familiar, Attune Domain, Augment Summoning, Beckon the FrozenFrb, Bewitched Summoning, Doorman, Evolved Companion, Evolved Familiar, Evolved Summon Monster, Fiendish Summoning SpecialistPlaH, Greenbound SummoningLEF, Improved Familiar, Spell Focus/Gtr Spell Focus (Conj, Evo, Illu, Nec or Trans) Better Skeins: At 6th level the samhain spooker's skeins improve. These improvements require the samhain spooker to spend an hour of preparation at the beginning of each day (which may include the fifteen minutes they need for readying spells as a spontaneous caster).
Hordes of Minions (Sp): At 19th level the samhain spooker reaches the pinnacle of their summoning abilities and may now use Summon Minions to replicate the effects of abyssal armySpC, hellish hordeSpC, hunters of HadesSpC, and zombie apocalypseSummon Undead. The samhain spooker can take on their Eidolon Form while replicating these specific effects through Summon Minion.
