'''Weapon and Armor Proficiency:''' Art Flow users are only proficient with two three simple weapons of their choice. They are not proficient with any shields or armor. Although the Art Flow User uses spell-like abilities, they are affected by [[SRD:Arcane Spell Failure Chance|arcane spell failure]] if wearing anything more than clothing. An Art Flow User wearing any armor or using a shield incurs a chance of arcane spell failure. A [[SRD:Multiclass Characters|multiclass]] Art Flow User still incurs the normal [[SRD:Arcane Spell Failure Chance|arcane spell failure chance]] for arcane spells received from other [[SRD:Classes|classes]].

'''''{{Anchor|Paint Shot}}'' {{Sp}}:''' As a standard action, an Art Flow User can launch an orb of raw essence from the Art Flow (an energy that greatly resembles paint) which deals 1d6 damage per 2 [[SRD:Caster Level|caster levels]] (minimum 1d6) as a ranged touch attack (its caster level is equal to the Art Flow User's class level). In addition to the damage, a ''paint shot'' seeps into the skin of its victim, which is... not good for them in the slightest; it is [[SRD:Poison|poisonous]], dealing 1 [[Strength]], 1 [[Dexterity]], and 1 [[Constitution]] [[SRD:Ability Score Loss#Ability Damage|damage]] unless the victim succeeds on a [[Fortitude]] save (save [[DC]] is [[Charisma]]-based). Since the essence of the Art Flow is poisonous, a creature that fails its Fortitude save is poisoned and must make another Fortitude save 1 minute later or take the same ability damage again. A creature killed by ''paint shot'' (including if its [[Strength]], [[Dexterity]], or [[Constitution]] is reduced to 0) becomes a terrifyingly "realistic" statue, as if affected by ''[[SRD:Flesh to Stone|flesh to stone]]'' (except that they do not actually [[SRD:Petrified|turn to stone]] – they are simply chemically and supernaturally mummified, and indeed, while [[SRD:Stone to Flesh|''stone to flesh'']] is unable to restore a creature who has succumbed to such a fate, any form of revival, including [[SRD:Raise Dead|''raise dead'']], works normally, clearing the Art Flow from the subject's system). The Art Flow is a supernatural poison, so resistance or immunity to mundane poisons is useless against it. Unlike an [[#Invocations|artistic essence]], if an Art Flow User strikes a creature with multiple ''paint shots'' in a round, that creature has to make a Fortitude save for each one. [[SRD:Spell Resistance|Spell resistance]] applies to each shot separately. Creatures with the <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Special:SearchByProperty/Subtype/Water|Water]]<nowiki>]</nowiki> or <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Special:SearchByProperty/Subtype/Cold|Cold]]<nowiki>]</nowiki> subtype take half damage from a ''paint shot'', gain a +4 bonus to their Fortitude saves against it, and gain a +6 bonus to their spell resistance against it if they have spell resistance. Creatures composed entirely of water or ice, such as [[SRD:Water Elemental|water elementals]], take only ⅓ of the damage from a ''paint shot'', gain a +8 bonus to their spell resistance against it (if they have spell resistance), and cannot be poisoned by it at all, even if such a creature is not already immune to poison, nor will it be pseudo-petrified if killed by the ''paint shot''. Art Flow Users also cannot be poisoned or pseudo-petrified by a ''paint shot'', and take half damage from it. An Art Flow User can use <i>Paint Shot</i> if he or she is soaked or immersed in water, encased in ice, or enveloped in steam up to at least his or her waist, but its damage is cut in half and its save DC is reduced by 4; it doesn’t regain full strength until the Art Flow User is completely dry. ''Paint Shot'' counts as ''eldritch blast'' for the purpose of prerequisites.

As an Art Flow User gains levels, the concentration of energy from the Art Flow within his or her <i>paint shot</i> increases, making the ability damage more severe. At 3rd, 12th, 21st, and every 9th level afterwards, the Dexterity damage (both primary and secondary) increases by 1. At 6th, 15th, 24th, and every 9 levels afterward, the Constitution damage (both primary and secondary) increases by 1. At 9th, 18th, 27th, and every 9 levels afterwards, the Strength damage (both primary and secondary) increases by 1.

*<b>{{Anchor|Rapid Healing}} {{Su}}:</b> An experienced Art Flow User can eventually shrug off even those blows that could actually threaten his or her life. A 4th-level Art Flow User gains [[Rapid Healing (3.5e Creature Ability)|rapid healing]] 1/hour. This increases by 1 for every 4 levels (rapid healing 2/hour at level 8, rapid healing 3/hour at level 12, etc.). The Art Flow User’s rapid healing is suppressed if the Art Flow User is soaked or immersed in water, encased in ice, or enveloped in steam up to at least his or her waist; if suppressed in this way, it does not resume until the Art Flow User is completely dry.An Art Flow User's rapid healing ignores nonlethal damage unless the Art Flow User has sustained no lethal damage

'''{{Anchor|Flight}} {{Su}}:''' Art Flow Users are empowered to [[SRD:Fly|fly]] by the dimension's artistic energy. They can fly as soon as they awaken to the power, but it does take experience in order to fly '''well'''. A 1st-level Art Flow User has a fly speed of 10 feet and clumsy maneuverability. Fly speed improves by 5 feet at 2nd level and every 2nd level thereafter. Maneuverability improves by 1 grade at 4th 5th level and every 4 5 levels thereafter (up to perfect at 20th). An Art Flow User is unable to fly if soaked, immersed in water, encased in ice, or enveloped in steam up to at least his or her waist, and does not regain the ability to fly until completely dry. (This means that flying out of a lake is not an option – an Art Flow User knocked into a body of water has to swim out the hard way. (And I do mean '''the hard way''' – [[SRD:Swim Skill|Swim]] is ''not'' a class skill for an Art Flow User! Have fun [[SRD:Environment#Drowning|drowning]]!))

'''{{Anchor|Bonus Feats}}:''' The epic Art Flow User gains a bonus feat (selected from the list of epic Art Flow User bonus feats) every 5 levels after 20th. The Art Flow User may select an item creation feat in place of a bonus feat.

'''Skill Selection:''' Pick a number of skills equal to 4 6 + [[Int]] modifier+ 1 (for being human).

Characters with ranks in <-Knowledge (engineering) or Knowledge (the appropriate skills-> planes) can research Art Flow Users to learn more about them. When a character makes a skill check, read or paraphrase the following, including information from lower DCs.
