Project # 415! This is an idea that I've had in my head for a little while. Essentially, it's an earth-aligned counterpart to the wind mage.

==Sand Mage==
Unless you can fly, the earth is constantly beneath your feet. We hardly even notice it until it becomes a hazard to life and limb. Sand mages are specialists in manipulating the primal force of earth to do their bidding, using it to whittle their foes down to nothing.
===Making a Sand Mage===
What sand mages lack in raw power, they make up for in reliability. This reliability is a consequence of their taking the concept of "death of a thousand cuts" to extreme and literal heights by attacking primarily with sand. Getting hit with a single grain of sand technically hurts, but it's so insignificant that you'll hardly notice (unless you're hit in a sensitive place, such as an eye, in which case taking a grain of sand to the eye is still preferable to taking a dagger to the eye). Getting hit by several thousand grains of sand in quick succession can tear a person to shreds. What this all boils down to is that sand mages can deal lots of damage just by hitting thousands of times with a single attack. But because they rely on quantity rather than quality, their attacks can be easily resisted; just having good armor and/or reflexes means a potential victim takes fewer hits, and because each hit is so weak, damage reduction severely hinders a wind mage's offense. But with enough sand at their disposal, they can easily work around this drawback.
'''Abilities:''' [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]] is paramount for a sand mage, as it governs [[#Invocations|his invocations]]. [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]] is extremely helpful for [[Armor Class]], since the wind mage isn't exactly able to use anything more protective than light armor, and it also helps with ranged attack rolls, since the sand mage is heavily reliant on hitting several times; it also helps shore up his poor Reflex saves. [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]] is always useful for extra hit points. [[SRD:Strength|Strength]] is also useful if the sand mage cares to try his hand at melee combat — a role that he's not horrible in, though he's not superb, either.
'''Races:''' Any.
'''Alignment:''' Any, though sand mages lean a little towards law on average.
'''Starting Gold:''' 5d4×10 gp (125 gp).
'''[[SRD:Race Descriptions#Starting Age|Starting Age]]:''' Moderate.

====Class Features====
All of the following are class features of the Sand Mage.
'''Weapon and Armor Proficiency:''' Sand mages are proficient with all [[SRD:Simple Weapon Proficiency|simple weapons]], plus all martial hammers, all martial shields, saps, clubs, chakrams, atlatls, and ???. Sand mages are proficient with [[SRD:Armor Proficiency (Light)|light armor]] and [[SRD:Shield Proficiency|shields]] (except [[SRD:Tower Shield Proficiency|tower shields]]). Although the sand mage uses spell-like abilities, they are affected by [[SRD:Arcane Spell Failure Chance|arcane spell failure]] if wearing anything more than light armor. A sand mage wearing medium or heavy armor or using a shield incurs a chance of arcane spell failure. A [[SRD:Multiclass Characters|multiclass]] sand mage still incurs the normal [[SRD:Arcane Spell Failure Chance|arcane spell failure chance]] for arcane spells received from other [[SRD:Classes|classes]].
'''{{Anchor|Bonus Language}}:''' A sand mage knows Terran, the language of earth-type beings, which he learns upon taking his first level in wind mage. Terran is a free language for a sand mage; he knows it in addition to his regular allotment of languages and it doesn't take up a language slot.
{{:User/Luigifan18/Sand Mage (3.5e Class)/Sand Blast}}
*'''{{Anchor|Grinding Sand}}:''' At 12th level, the ''sand blast''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s ability to overcome damage reduction improves; all of the damage counts as magic, slashing, and bludgeoning for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
'''{{Anchor|Sandy Weapon}} {{Su}}:''' At 4th level, a sand mage can channel the power of earth into the weapons he wields (including the [[#Sand Blast|''sand blast'']], ''eldritch/sand glaive'', and any other effect which requires an [[SRD:Attack Roll|attack roll]]). The weapon gains the ''terran'' enhancement<ref name="mic">[[Publication:Magic Item Compendium|Magic Item Compendium]]</ref>, automatically overcoming the [[SRD:Damage Reduction|damage reduction]] of creatures with the <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Special:SearchByProperty/Subtype/Air|air]]<nowiki>]</nowiki> subtype and dealing an extra 2d6 damage to such creatures. This stacks with the actual ''terran'' enhancement.
At 8th level, the sand mage can grant the ??? enhancement to his weapons, stacking with the actual ''??'' enhancement.
'''{{Anchor|Earth Power}} {{Ex}}:''' A 5th-level sand mage's skill with manipulating the air has grown beyond the capabilities of less specialized mages. He gets a +1 increase to the caster/manifester/initiator/meldshaper level (if applicable) and save DC of all <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Special:SearchByProperty/Descriptor/Earth|Earth]]<nowiki>]</nowiki> effects he casts, manifests, initiates, shapes, or otherwise uses, including his invocations and spell-like effects. (This ability should not be confused with the Pokemon move or [[Earth Power (3.5e Spell)|the spell]] sharing the same name.
*'''{{Anchor|Greater Earth Power}} {{Ex}}:''' At 16th level, Earth Power is improved to grant a +2 increase to the caster/manifester/initiator/meldshaper level (if applicable) and save DC of all <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Special:SearchByProperty/Descriptor/Earth|Earth]]<nowiki>]</nowiki> effects the sand mage casts, manifests, initiates, shapes, or otherwise uses, including his invocations and spell-like effects.
'''{{Anchor|Sand Without Earth}} {{Su}}:''' At 6th level, a sand mage can generate sand, soil, and other earth-related things from out of nothing, allowing him to use <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Special:SearchByProperty/Descriptor/Earth|Earth]]<nowiki>]</nowiki> effects in places where it shouldn't be possible, such as strongly air-dominant areas and the vacuum of space. <!--He can breathe comfortably in such places (as well as anywhere else [[SRD:Environment#Slow Suffocation|that breathable air isn't normally easy or even possible to procure]], such as [[SRD:Environment#Water Dangers|underwater]]) and generate enough oxygen for as much as one Medium creature (other than himself) per class level to survive indefinitely. (This only protects the wind mage and other creatures from [[SRD:Environment#Suffocation|suffocation]]; it doesn't protect them from ''other'' dangers of total vacuum or burial, such as [[SRD:Environment#Cold Dangers|lack of heat]] or being crushed. It also doesn't prevent suffocation due to blockage or damage to the respiratory system, such as being strangled or having one's lungs ripped out.)-->
'''{{Anchor|Earth Adaption}} {{Ex}}:''' At 10th level, a sand mage starts gaining partial traits of an earth elemental. He gains 25% [[SRD:Fortification|fortification]] as his vitals are transformed into earth, and he becomes immune to [[SRD:Sleep|sleep]] and [[SRD:Poison|poison]], and no longer needs to sleep or breathe, though he must still eat. He also gains the <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Special:SearchByProperty/Subtype/Air|Air]]<nowiki>]</nowiki> subtype, if he doesn't have it already.
'''{{Anchor|Earth Aura}} {{Su}}:''' At 10th level, a sand mage can manipulate wind which he isn't responsible for. The sand mage effectively grants [[SRD:Spell Resistance|spell resistance]] equal to 10 + his HD to himself and all allies within 30 feet, but only against <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Special:SearchByProperty/Descriptor/Earth|Earth]]<nowiki>]</nowiki> effects or effects that involve the manipulation of the ground or soil (such as [[SRD:Earthquake|''earthquake'']], [[Veles Whirl (3.5e Spell)|''Veles whirl'']], etc.). If an opponent fails to breach this spell resistance, the sand mage takes control and can shape the terrain alterations as he sees fit, placing holes, channels, and other parts of safety and suppressing tremors and upheavals completely while in the aura. Terrain modifications so suppressed return once out of range of your aura if their duration has not expired.
Mundane terrain-related events can be manipulated this way, automatically failing against the spell resistance as they have no caster level. (Note that this ability does not let the sand mage freely mess with people trying to modify the terrain through mundane means, such as digging holes or plowing soil.)
'''{{Anchor|Elemental Body}} {{Su}}:''' At 14th level, a sand mage gains stronger elemental traits. He gains 50% fortification, does not need to eat, and becomes immune to [[SRD:Stunned|stunning]] and [[SRD:Paralyzed|paralysis]].

'''{{Anchor|Sandy Weapon}} {{Su}}:''' At 4th level, a sand mage can channel the power of earth into the weapons he wields (including the [[#Sand Blast|''sand blast'']], ''eldritch/sand glaive'', and any other effect which requires an [[SRD:Attack Roll|attack roll]]). The weapon gains the ''terran'' enhancement<ref name="mic">[[Publication:Magic Item Compendium|Magic Item Compendium]]</ref>, automatically overcoming the [[SRD:Damage Reduction|damage reduction]] of creatures with the <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Special:SearchByProperty/Subtype/Air|air]]<nowiki>]</nowiki> subtype and dealing an extra 2d6 damage to such creatures. This stacks with the actual ''terran'' enhancement.
At 8th level, the sand mage can grant the ??? enhancement to his weapons, stacking with the actual ''??'' enhancement.
'''{{Anchor|Earth Power}} {{Ex}}:''' A 5th-level sand mage's skill with manipulating the air has grown beyond the capabilities of less specialized mages. He gets a +1 increase to the caster/manifester/initiator/meldshaper level (if applicable) and save DC of all <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Special:SearchByProperty/Descriptor/Earth|Earth]]<nowiki>]</nowiki> effects he casts, manifests, initiates, shapes, or otherwise uses, including his invocations and spell-like effects. (This ability should not be confused with the Pokemon move or [[Earth Power (3.5e Spell)|the spell]] sharing the same name.
*'''{{Anchor|Greater Earth Power}} {{Ex}}:''' At 16th level, Earth Power is improved to grant a +2 increase to the caster/manifester/initiator/meldshaper level (if applicable) and save DC of all <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Special:SearchByProperty/Descriptor/Earth|Earth]]<nowiki>]</nowiki> effects the sand mage casts, manifests, initiates, shapes, or otherwise uses, including his invocations and spell-like effects.
'''{{Anchor|Sand Without Earth}} {{Su}}:''' At 6th level, a sand mage can generate sand, soil, and other earth-related things from out of nothing, allowing him to use <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Special:SearchByProperty/Descriptor/Earth|Earth]]<nowiki>]</nowiki> effects in places where it shouldn't be possible, such as strongly air-dominant areas and the vacuum of space. <!--He can breathe comfortably in such places (as well as anywhere else [[SRD:Environment#Slow Suffocation|that breathable air isn't normally easy or even possible to procure]], such as [[SRD:Environment#Water Dangers|underwater]]) and generate enough oxygen for as much as one Medium creature (other than himself) per class level to survive indefinitely. (This only protects the wind mage and other creatures from [[SRD:Environment#Suffocation|suffocation]]; it doesn't protect them from ''other'' dangers of total vacuum or burial, such as [[SRD:Environment#Cold Dangers|lack of heat]] or being crushed. It also doesn't prevent suffocation due to blockage or damage to the respiratory system, such as being strangled or having one's lungs ripped out.)-->
'''{{Anchor|Earth Adaption}} {{Ex}}:''' At 10th level, a sand mage starts gaining partial traits of an earth elemental. He gains 25% [[SRD:Fortification|fortification]] as his vitals are transformed into earth, and he becomes immune to [[SRD:Sleep|sleep]] and [[SRD:Poison|poison]], and no longer needs to sleep or breathe, though he must still eat. He also gains the <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Special:SearchByProperty/Subtype/Air|Air]]<nowiki>]</nowiki> subtype, if he doesn't have it already.
'''{{Anchor|Earth Aura}} {{Su}}:''' At 10th level, a sand mage can manipulate wind which he isn't responsible for. The sand mage effectively grants [[SRD:Spell Resistance|spell resistance]] equal to 10 + his HD to himself and all allies within 30 feet, but only against <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Special:SearchByProperty/Descriptor/Earth|Earth]]<nowiki>]</nowiki> effects or effects that involve the manipulation of the ground or soil (such as [[SRD:Earthquake|''earthquake'']], [[Veles Whirl (3.5e Spell)|''Veles whirl'']], etc.). If an opponent fails to breach this spell resistance, the sand mage takes control and can shape the terrain alterations as he sees fit, placing holes, channels, and other parts of safety and suppressing tremors and upheavals completely while in the aura. Terrain modifications so suppressed return once out of range of your aura if their duration has not expired.
Mundane terrain-related events can be manipulated this way, automatically failing against the spell resistance as they have no caster level. (Note that this ability does not let the sand mage freely mess with people trying to modify the terrain through mundane means, such as digging holes or plowing soil.)
'''{{Anchor|Elemental Body}} {{Su}}:''' At 14th level, a sand mage gains stronger elemental traits. He gains 50% fortification, does not need to eat, and becomes immune to [[SRD:Stunned|stunning]] and [[SRD:Paralyzed|paralysis]].
