[3.5] Rainbow Servant Base Class
Posted: Fri Jan 30, 2026 4:26 pm
Rainbow Servant
"What if instead of worshiping gods we worshiped flying snakes?"
The Rainbow Servant serves Coatl, giant flying snakes. Because of this, they get to spontaneously cast from a list of specific spells, and as they level up they get spontaneous access to most of the cleric list for spells significantly lower level then their highest. No one understands why this happens, not even Rainbow Servants or the Coatl they serve.
Hit Points: 1d4
Skill Points: 6+Int
Base Attack Bonus: Poor
Saving Throws: Good Will
Proficiencies: Rainbow Servants are proficient with all simple weapons. They are proficient with any armor made of scales, either metal or from a creature. Their spellcasting is divine so they don't have to worry about failure chance from armor though.
Class Skills: The Rainbow Servant’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Appraise (Int), Balance (Dex), Climb (Str) Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Decipher Script (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Gather Information (Cha), Handle Animal (Cha), Heal (Wis), Knowledge (All skills taken individually) (Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Ride (Dex), Search (Int), Sense Motive (Wis), Spellcraft (Int), Spot (Wis), Survival (Wis), Swim (Str), Tumble (Dex), and Use Robe (Dex).

Class Features
Spellcasting: A Rainbow Servant casts divine spells spontaneously from their class list. The Rainbow Servant class list is printed below. Additionally, When their spell slots on the table above get an asterisk next to them, their spell list expands, including all the spells on the Rainbow Servant list and also all the spells on the Cleric list in the PHB and Spell Compendium at that level. This is a part of their spellcasting progression, and they get it even if they take prestige classes.
To cast a spell, a rainbow servant must have a Wisdom score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a rainbow servant’s spell is 10 + 1/2 Character Level + the rainbow servant’s Charisma modifier.
Like many spellcasters, a rainbow servant can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. Their base daily spell allotment is given on Table: The Rainbow Servant. In addition, they receive bonus spells per day if they have a high Wisdom score. They may cast all Cantrips at will.
Beloved Master (Ex): A Rainbow Servant can choose to serve one specific Coatl above all others. If they do so they can send and receive telepathic communication with that Coatl regardless of distance at any time as if connected by the Telepathic Bond spell.
Not Stupid Metamagic (Ex): If your DM doesn't have other rules that fix this, a level 2 Rainbow Servant gains the ability to spontaneously apply metamagic to all spells they cast without an increase in casting time of any kind. This means you can even quicken spells.
Wings (Ex): at level 5 a Rainbow Servant grows giant rainbow feathered wings in honor of it's favorite person (who will be some coatl) and can fly with good maneuverability at a speed of 50ft.
Why Didn't You Prestige Class?(Ex): You are so dumb you didn't prestige class at all. All the way to 20. You are clearly completely resistant to any kind of influence. As such you are immune to Paralysis, Sleep, Stunning, Daze, Fatigue, Exhaustion, Sickened, Nauseated, Staggering, Turning, and all Mind Affecting and/or Fear effects.
