→Becoming an Art Flow User: Adding an invocation
'''Abilities:''' [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]] is the most important ability for this class, as it governs its [[#Invocations|invocations]]. [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]] and [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]] are, as always, important for [[Armor Class]] and hit points, respectively, though not as much as you’d expect, given that [[#Regeneration|regeneration]] is one of the Art Flow User's major features (though some of their other functions, like skills, ranged attack rolls, and Reflex/Fortitude saves, could easily make or break Art Flow Users, since their base attack bonus is poor and [[Special:SearchByProperty/Descriptor/Death|instant kills]] have an annoying tendency to bypass regeneration). [[SRD:Intelligence|Intelligence]] isn’t very important for the Art Flow User in and of itself, but it does help prospective candidates meet the prerequisites as soon as possible if their base class’s skill points don’t make the cut. [[SRD:Wisdom|Wisdom]] helps with Will saves but is otherwise unimportant, and [[SRD:Strength|Strength]] likewise doesn’t amount to much unless the Art Flow User enjoys creating weapons and then personally using them.
'''Races:''' A sentient being either has the ability to tap into the Art Flow or they don't. Race is mostly irrelevant. Those who become Art Flow Users already had a strong interest (and a great degree of skill and competence) in the arts, so cultural background doesn't matter much easier; <s>potential</s> Art Flow Users are already a subculture unto themselves. That said, the strengths and weaknesses of each race do mean some races are a bit more likely to become Art Flow Users or are a bit better at handling the power.
'''Alignment:''' Any.

#Some invocations taken from official materials work differently for the Art Flow User than they do for the warlock. Where differences exist, they will be pointed out in footnotes like this one.<!-- #1 -->

'''{{Anchor|Paint Adaption}} {{Ex}}:''' At 6th level, an Art Flow User starts gaining partial traits of a paint elemental. He (S)he gains 25% [[SRD:Fortification|fortification]] as his /her vitals are transformed into paint, and (s)he becomes immune to [[SRD:Sleep|sleep]] and [[SRD:Poison|poison]], and no longer needs to sleep or breathe, though (s)he must still eat. He (S)he also gains the <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Paint (3.5e Subtype)|Paint]]<nowiki>]</nowiki> subtype, if (s)he doesn't have it already. He or she is considered 0% [[Paint (3.5e Subtype)#Made of Art|made of art]], so his/her regeneration and flight do not dramatically improve, but (s)he isn't any more vulnerable to water than (s)he was previously.
