You never take more than a -3 penalty to your attacks due to being secondary(ie. at level 10 your full attack would normally look like this: +10/+7/+7/+7.)
+6: You gain a +4 bonus to disarm checks. If you are disarmed or you disarm your opponent with your weapon you can spend an attack of opportunity to grab the disarmed item out of the air with your free hand. As an attack action you can immediately throw a newly disarmed and caught weapon. If the weapon normally has a range increment this can be a normal ranged attack, if it doesn't have a range increment then you can only target a square within 50ft. of you and not a creature. This thrown attack doesn't count against your one weapon only, one free-hand status.
+11: You may attempt to Feint, as a free action, once per attack granted by virtue of a high BaB by spending one attack of opportunity per Feint. You may use Sleight of Hand or an attack roll in place of Bluff for the purpose of Feinting if you wish.
+16: You can choose to make a single melee attack as a Standard Action to gain a +4 bonus on your attack roll and multiply your damage by 10. This attack may only be used against an opponent that is denied their dexterity bonus to AC or that you are Flanking.
Extraordinary Leaper[Skill]
You spend more time with your feet off the ground than on it, when you want to. (This is a Skill feat that scales with your ranks in Jump.)
0: The DCs for high jumps for you are only 2 times the height instead of 4. In addition you can hop up (see the Jump skill description) a number of feet equal to or less then your ranks in jump.
4: You can jump as a swift action.
9: By using an appropriate action(normally a move action) you can make an additional jump at any point during another jump.
14: The distance of your jumps in a round is no longer constrained by your land speed. If your jump check exceeds your land speed you may complete it in the same round using only the action used to initiate the jump.
19: The DCs for jump checks for you are cut in half.
Combat Jumping[Combat]
You use your powerful leaps to great effect in a fight.
+0: You get a +3 bonus on jump checks, also, whenever you engage a land or sea bound opponent, or one who is flying with less than Good maneuverability, while you are jumping you are considered to have the Edge against them.
+1: Whenever you jump you can throw yourself at a creature and make a touch attack, if you succeed you may initiate a Bull Rush and use your jump check in place of a strength check.
+6: When moving out of an enemy’s threatened area(or moving into it in the case of high level enemies with Horde Breaker) via jumping you no longer trigger an attack of opportunity. Whenever you make a melee attack as a standard action or as part of a full attack you can hop five feet in any direction.
+11: Whenever you would be allowed an attack of opportunity you can instead jump.
+16: You can jump as an immediate action.
Feats I completely re-worked, but whose original ideas did not come from me. First two based on the ideas of Mister Sinister, and the last by the FBMF himself.
Rending Claws [Monstrous]
Your claws fvcking cut people in fvcking half.
Prerequisite: Two or more claw attacks.
This is a monstrous feat that scales by creature CR.
<1: Your claws are considered one size category larger for the purpose of dealing damage.
1: Rend -- If you hit an opponent with both claws, you rend them for an additional amount of damage equal to your normal claw damage.
6: Savagery -- You are so focused on your kill that you are on your prey faster than either of you know it, you can take a full attack with your natural weapons on any creature 10 or less feet beyond your reach; if you disabled your target you are now in(one of) their square(s), if not then you are adjacent to them. Additionally you ignore an amount of damage reduction equal to your HD when attacking with natural weapons.
11: Rapidstrike -- You may make iterative attacks with up to two of your claws as you would with manufactured weapons, also you may attack with both claws at once as a standard action. The range of Savagery increases to 20 feet beyond your reach.
16: Vital Strike -- Whenever you Rend an opponent or score a Critical Hit with your claws the target must make a Fortitude save(DC10+1/2 HD+Str Mod) or die; this is Precision Damage, so it does not work against creatures immune to critical hits, without a discernible anatomy, or that has total concealment against you. The range of Savagery increases to 30 feet beyond your reach.
Farspawn Tentacles [Monstrous]
'The Fisherman's Wife' ain't got nothing on you.
Prerequisite: A tentacle attack.
This is a monstrous feat that scales by creature CR.
<1: Improved Grab -- If you hit an opponent with a tentacle, you can start a grapple as a free action that does not provoke an AOO.
1: Your tentacles have 5ft more reach than normal. You count as being 1 size category larger for grapple purposes when using your tentacles.
6: You may grapple as many creatures as you have tentacles+1, for every creature beyond the first you are grappling you suffer a -3 penalty to your grapple checks; for every tentacle you have grappling a specific creature beyond the first you gain a +2 bonus to grapple checks against that creature.
11: You gain an additional tentacle attack, your tentacles have +10ft. reach instead of +5ft. reach, and are now considered one size larger for the purposes of damage. Your tentacles have become so large and swift that they protect you from projectiles; you may spend an AoO to make a tentacle attack against any thrown weapon or fired ammunition that comes within your natural reach. Weapons that only require a touch attack to hit and Magic weapons with the Seeking property are not affected by this ability.
16: Whenever you are using at least two tentacles to grapple a creature you can force one down it's breathing hole(or other appropriate orifice >:3) as a non-action, forcing a Fort save(DC10+1/2 HD+Str Mod) versus Nausea every round it remains in the grapple; every additional tentacle beyond the second adds +1 to the save DC. If you keep a creature like this long enough you can force it to save versus suffocation too. You count as being 2 size categories larger for grapple purposes when using your tentacles, and your tentacles are considered two size categories larger for the purposes of damage.
Bladesong [Skill]
It may look gay, but it works. This is a Skill Feat that scales with your ranks in Perform (Dance).
Prerequisites: You must be elven or half-elven, you must be able to cast arcane spells of second level
0: While wielding a longsword or rapier in one hand and nothing in the other, you gain a Dodge Bonus to Armor Class no greater than your ranks in Perform or half your caster level. You lose this bonus if you have anything in your other hand, wear armor with an ACP over 3, or carry more than a light load.
4: While holding a longsword or rapier in one hand and nothing in the other, you may use up a spellslot or prepared spell as a free action to use your caster level in place of your BAB and gain 1d6 damage to your melee weapon attacks per level of the spell used; this effect lasts until the beginning of your next turn.
9: While wearing armor with a natural(not modified by non-proficiency) ACP of 3 or less you ignore arcane spell failure chances.
14: While wielding a longsword or rapier in one hand and nothing in the other, you may take a full-round action to cast a harmful touch spell and make a full attack where all of your weapon attacks are empowered by the spell.
19: While wielding a longsword or rapier in one hand and nothing in the other, you may take a full round action to cast as many spells as you would be allowed attacks during a full attack. All spells cast using this special full round action must be 2 or more levels lower than the highest level spell you can cast.
Archanamach
Your layered magical defenses will not even slow me. You have interfered with my master’s plans for the last time; prepare to die.
-Zechariahs Corrint, Archanamach
The Archanamach are an ancient order with a dual purpose, to both protect and destroy powerful arcane casters. The thing is powerful wizards are hard to kill, I mean really friggin’ hard to kill, so you need training from those who know an arcanist’s weaknesses better than anyone; an arcanist. Your laser-like focus on killing enemy spell casters in order to keep your mentor safe somewhat limits your effectiveness against those who eschew magical protection and empowerment, but since you become a competent spell slinger in your own right, you’ve gotta fight fire with fire after all, you have plenty of options for fighting off more mundane enemies.

Spellcasting: An Archanamach with a high enough constitution score can cast arcane spells as shown in the tables above. An Archanamach casts his spells off of a specific class list; he can cast any of these spells spontaneously. An Arcanamach has a caster level equal to three times his class level*.
*alternate rule: an Archanamach has a caster level equal to their BAB, caster level penalties are applied before BAB based caster level is applied.
Expanded Knowledge: Pick any one spell of a level you can cast off of the Sorcerer/Wizard, Ranger, or Assassin list and add it to your Archanamach spell list.
Reduced Spell Failure: You know how this works.
Tenacious Spells: Add a number equal to the character’s class level to the DC to dispel the character’s Archanamach spells.
Efficient Slayer: Instead of the normal -4 penalty to caster level for spells and spell-like abilities from his Mage Slayer feat, an Archanamach takes only a -2 penalty. Ignore this ability if using Races of War rules.
Mage Bound: In order to take levels in Archanamach you must willingly serve an arcane caster capable of casting fifth level spells that knows the secrets of training the ancient order of assassins and guardians, the Archanamach. If you stop following your patron mage you retain all Archanamach abilities, but can take no further levels in the class until you return to the service of your patron or find a new one.
Protect Patron: When a sufficiently powerful Mage takes you on as his guardian he will inscribe a unique rune of protection somewhere on his body and its counter-part in the same area on your body. This rune allows you to change any hostile spell’s target from your patron mage to you if you are within 5 feet per class level; for the purposes of a spell blocked in this manner you are considered to have both mettle and evasion.
Furthermore, if your patron mage is within the range of your threatened squares you may attempt to deflect any melee or ranged attack made against him as an attack of opportunity; to deflect the attack you roll a normal melee attack roll and compare it to the attack you are deflecting, if your result is higher than the attack is considered to have missed, if your result is 1 to 4 lower than the incoming attack you take normal damage regardless of whether or not the attack would have beaten your AC, miss chance still applies if applicable, if your result is 5 or more lower than the incoming attack the attack is resolved as normal and you are disarmed(if possible).
Aggressive Abjuration: Starting at 2nd level add a number equal to the character’s class level to the character’s dispel checks.
Dispelling Strike: Twice per day, an Archanamach of 2nd level or higher can attempt a dispelling strike with a normal melee attack. If he hits, he deals normal damage, and the victim is subject to a targeted Greater Dispel Magic. At level 4 the Archanamach can use this ability 4 times per day, and at level 6 he may use it once per round.
Pierce Magical Concealment: At 3rd level you gain Pierce Magical Concealment as a bonus feat, and as an added bonus you may see through the visual portion of any Glamer or Figment as if it weren’t there; you may chose see or not see the Glamer or Figment as a non-action. In addition, the caster level inherent in this feat penalty is reduced to -2.
Extended Spell Strength: Beginning at 4th level, the duration of any spell the Archanmach casts on himself is doubled; as if by the extend spell metamagic feat, but without any adjustment to the casting time or spell slot used. Spells that target multiple targets are effected by this power, but only the Archanamch gains the extended duration. Spells effected by this power can be extended as normal, for a total of 4 times the normal duration.
Pierce Magical Protection: At 5th level you gain the Pierce Magical Protection as a Bonus Feat. In addition, the caster level inherent in this feat penalty is reduced to -2.
Flexible Abjurer: At 6th level An Archanamch can lose a number of spell slots whose combined levels equal 5 or more to cast a Greater Dispel Magic.
Scribe Rune of Protection: At 6th level you gain the ability to Scribe the counter-part of the special rune of protection on your body. By scribing the rune on a willing creature, a process taking several minutes, you designate them your patron mage for the purposes of your protect patron ability; the recipient of the rune does not need to be able to cast arcane spells to benefit from it.

Full BAB
Saves: Good, Poor, Good
(Earth Bender is meant to have 15 levels, I don't know how to make proper tables in BBcode)
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Earth benders are proficient with all simple weapons. Earth benders are proficient with light and medium armor, and any armor made of earth, as well as shields and any great shields made of earth.
Bones of the Earth: No matter how small or fragile-seeming an earth benders body may appear they are tough SoBs all. Earthbenders have DR/- equal to half there level(round down) and blanket energy resistance equal to twice their level.
Earth Bending Attributes: Every Earth bender relies on both body and mind, but different benders do so in different ways. Pick either Strength or Constitution and either Wisdom or Charisma these two stats will be your Earth Bending attributes the first will sometimes be referred to as Physical or Phs and the second Mental or Mnt. All of your save DCs for abilities gained from this class will be based on either you Phys or Mental score modifier or sometimes by the higher of the two, in these cases the stat is just called Earth.
Earth Bending: With a fullround action you can move* a 5’ by 5’ by 5’ or smaller piece of earth, stone, crystal, or magma 10ft., if you are physically holding the earth you are bending then you can move twice as much, or gain the ability to move normally. An earth bender can move half as much earth as normal as a standard action, one quarter as much earth as move action, and 10% as much earth as a swift action. The earth you are bending must stay within close range. At level 5 you may move four 5’ by 5’ by 5’ congruent pieces of earth or two separate ones. At level 6 you can move 10’ cubes instead of 5’ cubes. At level 8 the amount of earth you can move doubles and doubles again every 3 levels.
*includes raising or lowering terrain, ripping a section out of a wall or structure, and breaking a section of earth into pieces or fusing them together, this last ability allows you to change the general shape of the earth you’re bending.
If you try to encase someone's square(s) in earth they get a reflex save(DC10+1/2 HD+Earth Mod) to avoid it. If you manage to surround someone's square(s) in earth they can attempt to deal damage to destroy the enclosure(dirt and common stone has the same hardness and hp as wood) or use a strength check* to break out; if able the trapped individual may also attempt a DC 100 escape artist test to escape through the solid earthen walls. Once you have a creature's square surrounded by earth you may begin crushing them, dealing 1d6/level+Phys Mod damage and rendering them Pinned until they can escape from their prison. Creatures in this situation can still attempt strength checks or escape artist checks.
*Break DC for dense stone is 5 higher than dirt or common stone. DC to break through 4 or less inches of earth is 13, DC to break through 5 to 7 inches is 18, DC to break though 8 to 11 inches is 23, DC to break through 1ft. is 30, add 7 to the DC for each additional foot.
Earth Sense: An earth bender is extra-sensitive to vibrations moving through solid material, and gets a +4 to listen checks to hear things touching the ground or anything connected to it and sense motive checks to detect the lies of a creature touching the ground or anything connected to it.
Launch: As a standard action you can launch a piece of earth at an opponent; treat this as a ranged attack that does 2d6+hardness(hardness of dirt and common stone is 5) for a small sized object; you use your Mnt mod in place of your Dex mod for this attack roll. You can launch a small sized object out to close range, and a tiny sized object up to medium range. At level 3 you add you Phys Mod to damage. At level 7 any creature hit by one of your Launched projectiles must make a fort save(DC10+½ HD+Phs Mod) or be knocked prone.
At level 4 you can launch a medium object at close range and a small one at medium range. At level 6 you can launch a large object at close range, a medium object at medium range, and a small object at long range; a large object targets all creatures and objects in two concurrent 5’ squares. At level 8 you can launch a huge object at close range, a large object at medium range, and a medium object at long range; a huge object targets all creatures and objects in a 10’ square. At level 11 you can launch a gargantuan object at close range, a huge object at medium range, and a large object at long range; a gargantuan object targets all creatures and objects in two concurrent 10’ squares. At level 14 you can Launch 2 objects as a standard action instead of 1.
Earth Mastery: At level 2 any armor you wear that is made of earth or stone has its ACP and ASP reduced by 3. You may add you Earth mod to melee attack and damage rolls with any weapon made of earth or stone.
Earth Stride: A 2nd level earth bender can turn any difficult terrain made of earth they are going to enter into normal terrain as part of their move action. A 2nd level earth bender adds their Earth mod to their jump and balance checks made when standing on earth.
Fling:As a standard action a 3rd level Earth Bender can target a 5’ square within close range and force every creature in it to make a reflex save(DC10+½ HD+Phs Mod). All creatures that fail their save and objects take 1d20+Phs damage and all large or smaller creatures and objects are thrown 10’ per level; you may elect to have them thrown either upwards or horizontally. When thrown upwards they will fall and take falling damage as normal. If thrown horizontally they must make another reflex saving throw or be prone at the end of this distance. If any creatures hit a barrier while being flung, roll 1d6 for every 5’ they are prevented from moving. If that is enough to destroy the barrier, then it is destroyed and they continue to move. Otherwise, they take the damage. At level 5 you can target a 10’ square and throw creatures and objects of up to huge size. At level 10 you can target a 20’ square and throw creatures and objects of up to gargantuan size. At level 15 you can target a 30’ square and throw creatures and objects of up to colossal size.
An earth bender may use Fling on themselves and any willing creatures in the AoE without doing any initial damage.
Tremorsense: At level 3 an earth bender becomes increasingly sensitive to vibrations and gains tremorsense out to 10ft. per level. At level 6 any creature within an earth bender’s dust cloud, or any natural dust clouds, is considered to be touching the ground for the purposes of an earth bender’s tremorsense and earth sense.
Dirt Surf: As long as the surface an earth bender is on soil or clay a level 4 earth bender adds 5ft. to their land speed per level. An earth bender can spend an immediate action to negate falling damage if they land on earth or stone.
Burrow Speed: At level 5 an earth bender gain’s a burrow speed of 5ft. per level, can choose to leave a 5ft. wide tunnel behind them.
Dust Cloud: At level 5 an earth bender can, as a move action, cause a cloud of dust to fill a number of 10’ squares equal to your level; the dust settles in 10 minutes. The squares needn’t be concurrent, but all squares must be within medium range. The effect is similar to a Fog Cloud, but can be used under water and winds must be one category stronger to disperse the clouds. When surrounded by metal, but not earth or stone, you can only fill a number of 5’ squares equal to your level, all of which must be concurrent, and the range is close. This power does not work if the surrounding area doesn’t have much in the way of dirt, rock, or metal.
Choking Dust: By spending a standard action when you create a Dust Cloud you can make it much more aggravating to the body and any creature in the cloud must make a fortitude save(DC10+½ HD+Earth Mod)or cough and choke on the particles causing them to be dazed for one round and nauseas until 1d4 rounds after they leave. If the area has a significant amount of silicates the save DC is increased by 2.
Tremorsight: At level 8 an earth bender’s sensitivity to vibration and connection to the earth heightens to the point where they can actually “see” anything detected by there tremorsense; these new heightened senses aren’t as satisfying as real sight, and it misses a lot of details, you can’t see colors, tell what expression someone has on their face, or read with it for example, but it’s good enough to deny concealment to any creature that can be detected with tremorsense and remove the penalties of blindness as long the earth bender is touching the ground.
Thicken Dust Cloud: When you use your Dust Cloud power you can choose to halve the number of 10’ squares to employ heavier particles and more of them. This makes your cloud more like walking through mud than air so the effect mimics a Solid Fog rather than a Fog Cloud. If there’s a significant amount of magma in the area then you may elect to add the effects of an Incendiary Cloud(Ref Save DC10+½ HD+Phs Mod) to the cloud.
Metal Bending: At level 11 an earth bender gains the ability to use their bending powers on metal. Metal Bending works much like Earth Bending, but much more limited. You must be in physical contact with metal to affect it, can only affect about a 5’ by 5’ by 1’ section, but you can move normally.[/b]
Raise Magma: At level 13 an earth bender can, as a Full-Round action, locate the nearest deposit of magma and begin raising it to the surface. In a very geologically active area a 10’ by 10’ by 10’ area of the ground, that is within close range of you, will be immediately filled with magma and if you maintain concentration another concurrent 10’ by 10’ by 10’ every round at the beginning of your turn. In a more geologically stable area it will take 1d4+1 rounds for the magma to begin arriving and you must spend a swift action every round for it to continue traveling towards the surface.

(Earth Bender is meant to have 15 levels, I don't know how to make proper tables in BBcode)
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Earth benders are proficient with all simple weapons. Earth benders are proficient with light and medium armor, and any armor made of earth, as well as shields and any great shields made of earth.
Bones of the Earth: No matter how small or fragile-seeming an earth benders body may appear they are tough SoBs all. Earthbenders have DR/- equal to half there level(round down) and blanket energy resistance equal to twice their level.
Earth Bending Attributes: Every Earth bender relies on both body and mind, but different benders do so in different ways. Pick either Strength or Constitution and either Wisdom or Charisma these two stats will be your Earth Bending attributes the first will sometimes be referred to as Physical or Phs and the second Mental or Mnt. All of your save DCs for abilities gained from this class will be based on either you Phys or Mental score modifier or sometimes by the higher of the two, in these cases the stat is just called Earth.
Earth Bending: With a fullround action you can move* a 5’ by 5’ by 5’ or smaller piece of earth, stone, crystal, or magma 10ft., if you are physically holding the earth you are bending then you can move twice as much, or gain the ability to move normally. An earth bender can move half as much earth as normal as a standard action, one quarter as much earth as move action, and 10% as much earth as a swift action. The earth you are bending must stay within close range. At level 5 you may move four 5’ by 5’ by 5’ congruent pieces of earth or two separate ones. At level 6 you can move 10’ cubes instead of 5’ cubes. At level 8 the amount of earth you can move doubles and doubles again every 3 levels.
*includes raising or lowering terrain, ripping a section out of a wall or structure, and breaking a section of earth into pieces or fusing them together, this last ability allows you to change the general shape of the earth you’re bending.
If you try to encase someone's square(s) in earth they get a reflex save(DC10+1/2 HD+Earth Mod) to avoid it. If you manage to surround someone's square(s) in earth they can attempt to deal damage to destroy the enclosure(dirt and common stone has the same hardness and hp as wood) or use a strength check* to break out; if able the trapped individual may also attempt a DC 100 escape artist test to escape through the solid earthen walls. Once you have a creature's square surrounded by earth you may begin crushing them, dealing 1d6/level+Phys Mod damage and rendering them Pinned until they can escape from their prison. Creatures in this situation can still attempt strength checks or escape artist checks.
*Break DC for dense stone is 5 higher than dirt or common stone. DC to break through 4 or less inches of earth is 13, DC to break through 5 to 7 inches is 18, DC to break though 8 to 11 inches is 23, DC to break through 1ft. is 30, add 7 to the DC for each additional foot.
Earth Sense: An earth bender is extra-sensitive to vibrations moving through solid material, and gets a +4 to listen checks to hear things touching the ground or anything connected to it and sense motive checks to detect the lies of a creature touching the ground or anything connected to it.
Launch: As a standard action you can launch a piece of earth at an opponent; treat this as a ranged attack that does 2d6+hardness(hardness of dirt and common stone is 5) for a small sized object; you use your Mnt mod in place of your Dex mod for this attack roll. You can launch a small sized object out to close range, and a tiny sized object up to medium range. At level 3 you add you Phys Mod to damage. At level 7 any creature hit by one of your Launched projectiles must make a fort save(DC10+½ HD+Phs Mod) or be knocked prone.
At level 4 you can launch a medium object at close range and a small one at medium range. At level 6 you can launch a large object at close range, a medium object at medium range, and a small object at long range; a large object targets all creatures and objects in two concurrent 5’ squares. At level 8 you can launch a huge object at close range, a large object at medium range, and a medium object at long range; a huge object targets all creatures and objects in a 10’ square. At level 11 you can launch a gargantuan object at close range, a huge object at medium range, and a large object at long range; a gargantuan object targets all creatures and objects in two concurrent 10’ squares. At level 14 you can Launch 2 objects as a standard action instead of 1.
Earth Mastery: At level 2 any armor you wear that is made of earth or stone has its ACP and ASP reduced by 3. You may add you Earth mod to melee attack and damage rolls with any weapon made of earth or stone.
Earth Stride: A 2nd level earth bender can turn any difficult terrain made of earth they are going to enter into normal terrain as part of their move action. A 2nd level earth bender adds their Earth mod to their jump and balance checks made when standing on earth.
Fling:As a standard action a 3rd level Earth Bender can target a 5’ square within close range and force every creature in it to make a reflex save(DC10+½ HD+Phs Mod). All creatures that fail their save and objects take 1d20+Phs damage and all large or smaller creatures and objects are thrown 10’ per level; you may elect to have them thrown either upwards or horizontally. When thrown upwards they will fall and take falling damage as normal. If thrown horizontally they must make another reflex saving throw or be prone at the end of this distance. If any creatures hit a barrier while being flung, roll 1d6 for every 5’ they are prevented from moving. If that is enough to destroy the barrier, then it is destroyed and they continue to move. Otherwise, they take the damage. At level 5 you can target a 10’ square and throw creatures and objects of up to huge size. At level 10 you can target a 20’ square and throw creatures and objects of up to gargantuan size. At level 15 you can target a 30’ square and throw creatures and objects of up to colossal size.
An earth bender may use Fling on themselves and any willing creatures in the AoE without doing any initial damage.
Tremorsense: At level 3 an earth bender becomes increasingly sensitive to vibrations and gains tremorsense out to 10ft. per level. At level 6 any creature within an earth bender’s dust cloud, or any natural dust clouds, is considered to be touching the ground for the purposes of an earth bender’s tremorsense and earth sense.
Dirt Surf: As long as the surface an earth bender is on soil or clay a level 4 earth bender adds 5ft. to their land speed per level. An earth bender can spend an immediate action to negate falling damage if they land on earth or stone.
Burrow Speed: At level 5 an earth bender gain’s a burrow speed of 5ft. per level, can choose to leave a 5ft. wide tunnel behind them.
Dust Cloud: At level 5 an earth bender can, as a move action, cause a cloud of dust to fill a number of 10’ squares equal to your level; the dust settles in 10 minutes. The squares needn’t be concurrent, but all squares must be within medium range. The effect is similar to a Fog Cloud, but can be used under water and winds must be one category stronger to disperse the clouds. When surrounded by metal, but not earth or stone, you can only fill a number of 5’ squares equal to your level, all of which must be concurrent, and the range is close. This power does not work if the surrounding area doesn’t have much in the way of dirt, rock, or metal.
Choking Dust: By spending a standard action when you create a Dust Cloud you can make it much more aggravating to the body and any creature in the cloud must make a fortitude save(DC10+½ HD+Earth Mod)or cough and choke on the particles causing them to be dazed for one round and nauseas until 1d4 rounds after they leave. If the area has a significant amount of silicates the save DC is increased by 2.
Tremorsight: At level 8 an earth bender’s sensitivity to vibration and connection to the earth heightens to the point where they can actually “see” anything detected by there tremorsense; these new heightened senses aren’t as satisfying as real sight, and it misses a lot of details, you can’t see colors, tell what expression someone has on their face, or read with it for example, but it’s good enough to deny concealment to any creature that can be detected with tremorsense and remove the penalties of blindness as long the earth bender is touching the ground.
Thicken Dust Cloud: When you use your Dust Cloud power you can choose to halve the number of 10’ squares to employ heavier particles and more of them. This makes your cloud more like walking through mud than air so the effect mimics a Solid Fog rather than a Fog Cloud. If there’s a significant amount of magma in the area then you may elect to add the effects of an Incendiary Cloud(Ref Save DC10+½ HD+Phs Mod) to the cloud.
Metal Bending: At level 11 an earth bender gains the ability to use their bending powers on metal. Metal Bending works much like Earth Bending, but much more limited. You must be in physical contact with metal to affect it, can only affect about a 5’ by 5’ by 1’ section, but you can move normally.[/b]
Raise Magma: At level 13 an earth bender can, as a Full-Round action, locate the nearest deposit of magma and begin raising it to the surface. In a very geologically active area a 10’ by 10’ by 10’ area of the ground, that is within close range of you, will be immediately filled with magma and if you maintain concentration another concurrent 10’ by 10’ by 10’ every round at the beginning of your turn. In a more geologically stable area it will take 1d4+1 rounds for the magma to begin arriving and you must spend a swift action every round for it to continue traveling towards the surface.

Plane of Force:
For the purposes of proficiency, this counts as a Long Sword, Battle Axe, or Scimitar. Select which whenever you pick it up.
Reach: Melee
Damage: 1d20 slashing damage per 6 levels. Strength modifier still applies. Cannot be wielded with more than one hand.
Critical Hit: 18-20 x2
Special:
A Plane of Force ignores Natural Armor and Non-Magical Armor/Shields.
A Plane of Force ignores hardness and bypasses material damage reduction.
On a confirmed critical threat(roll to confirm even against a creature immune to critical hits) the creature struck must pass a fortitude save or lose a limb as if the weapon had the Sharpness special quality.
A Plane of Force is a Force affect and thus can strike Incorporeal and Ethereal targets without the miss chance normally inherent in attacking something Incorporeal or Ethereal.
Amphisbaena:
For the purposes of proficiency, this counts as a morning star or a spiked chain. Select which whenever you pick it up.
Reach(M): 5’-10’ threatens
Damage: 1d6 piercing damage per 2 levels.
Critical Hit: 18-20 x2
Special:
Two Headed: Can be used as a double weapon with 5’ reach.
Poison: Initial and Secondary Damage is 1d6 Con per 4 levels; Fort Save DC10+½ HD+½ BAB.
Death Gaze: During the Full Moon you can aim the two heads of the snake as a full-round action and force any 2 creatures within 30ft. to make a Fort Save(DC10+½ HD+Cha Mod) or die. When not under the full moon you can use this power to Confuse instead of kill. The snake’s lantern-like eyes also function as a pair of bullseye lanterns that require no oil and can be used under water.
Bite Footprints*: You can attack the ground in any square a creature moved through on their last turn in order to inflict base weapon damage, but not poison, on that creature. You can also harm a creature in this manner if you have a clear and complete footprint belonging to the target, regardless of how old it is or how far away the creature is.
Spit Venom: As a Swift action you may take a ranged touch attack against any two creatures within 30ft., if you succeed these creatures are blinded for one minute.
*I didn’t find any reference to this in the mythology, though I didn’t look very hard, but I’m including it because angelfromanotherpin suggested it.
Big Stick:
For the purposes of proficiency, this counts as a club.
Reach: Melee
Damage: 1d6 bludgeoning damage per 2 levels+1d6 if Large, 2d6 if Huge, 4d6 if Gargantuan, ect., ect..
Critical Hit: x5
Special:
Big: A Big Stick increases the wielder’s size by one category(as if they had gained enough HD to increase size). A Big Stick does not come in sizes smaller than large and resists all effects that would reduce it below large size.
Speak Softly: Simply having a Big Stick in your possession causes all [Sonic] effects within medium range of you to do minimum damage, or if they don’t do damage then they have their DCs reduced by 2.
Convincing: Having a Big Stick in your possession gives you a bonus to Intimidate equal to half your level and allows you to use Intimidate checks in place of Diplomacy checks.
For the purposes of proficiency, this counts as a Long Sword, Battle Axe, or Scimitar. Select which whenever you pick it up.
Reach: Melee
Damage: 1d20 slashing damage per 6 levels. Strength modifier still applies. Cannot be wielded with more than one hand.

When not under the full moon you can use this power to Confuse instead of kill. The snake’s lantern-like eyes also function as a pair of bullseye lanterns that require no oil and can be used under water.
Bite Footprints*: You can attack the ground in any square a creature moved through on their last turn in order to inflict base weapon damage, but not poison, on that creature. You can also harm a creature in this manner if you have a clear and complete footprint belonging to the target, regardless of how old it is or how far away the creature is.
Spit Venom: As a Swift action you may take a ranged touch attack against any two creatures within 30ft., if you succeed these creatures are blinded for one minute.
*I didn’t find any reference to this in the mythology, though I didn’t look very hard, but I’m including it because angelfromanotherpin suggested it.
Big Stick:
For the purposes of proficiency, this counts as a club.
Reach: Melee
Damage: 1d6 bludgeoning damage per 2 levels+1d6 if Large, 2d6 if Huge, 4d6 if Gargantuan, ect., ect..
Critical Hit: x5
Special:
Big: A Big Stick increases the wielder’s size by one category(as if they had gained enough HD to increase size). A Big Stick does not come in sizes smaller than large and resists all effects that would reduce it below large size.
Speak Softly: Simply having a Big Stick in your possession causes all [Sonic] effects within medium range of you to do minimum damage, or if they don’t do damage then they have their DCs reduced by 2.
Convincing: Having a Big Stick in your possession gives you a bonus to Intimidate equal to half your level and allows you to use Intimidate checks in place of Diplomacy checks.
