Geomancer
"Heheh, you activated my trap card, butt-munch."
Geomancers are people who are in touch with nature and the elements in a bizarre fashion. They become one with the world such that they needn't fear thorns and fire, and can also change the very landscape to suit them, generally so that it hurts other people.
The Geomancer is the kind of class for people who think "Wall of ____" is an awesome Wizard spell and love setting up Black Tentacles + Stone Spikes + Acid Fog combinations. So, clever people and jerks.
Playing a Geomancer: The Geomancer is a user of magic, and that magic is based on Wisdom. They also tend to be a huge pain, so enemies try to kill them first, as such a good Dex or Con will not hurt. Geomancers often use Staves or Crossbows.

Class Features
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Geomancers are proficient with Simple Weapons and Light Armour. A Geomancer's Spell-like abilities suffer from Arcane Spell Failure if they are wearing armor with which they are not proficient. A Geomancer may add the masterwork or enhancement bonus (if any) of any staff they are wielding to any attack or damage rolls they make with their Supernatural and Spell Like abilities.
Hard Feet (Ex): Geomancers are totally at home in natural environments, even really jacked up ones. They ignore naturally occurring difficult terrain and don't take damage from crap like thorns. They are also unaffected by their own area of effect powers with the exception that they cannot move through physical barriers they create, and their attacks are still blocked by the other Feet abilities.
Hot Feet (Su): Geomancers start with the ability to make nearby ground glow with red light and warmth. As a Standard action, they may select a number of contiguous 10' tall 5' squares up to their hit dice, all within Medium Range, and affect them with the red glow. This lasts for one round per level. Nonmagical ranged attacks that cross any of these squares burn up uselessly. Anyone entering any of these squares takes 1d8 Fire damage per level (Ref half).
Entangling Floor (Sp): starting at second level, Geomancers can cast Entangle at will, though only one such effect may be active at a time.
Cold Feet (Sp): starting at second level, Geomancers may cast Path of Frost (Dragon Magic) at will, though only one such effect may be active at a time.
Vertigo Field (Sp): at third level, Geomancers gain the ability to cast Vertigo Field (PHB 2) at will, though only one such effect may be active at a time.
Melting Feet (Su):at third level, Geomancers gain the ability to make nearby ground glow with orange light and pain. As a Standard action, they may select a number of contiguous 10' tall 5' squares up to their hit dice, all within Medium Range, and affect them with the orange glow. This lasts for one round per level. Magical ranged attacks that cross any of these squares are harmlessly dissolved. Anyone entering any of these squares takes 1d8 Acid damage per level (Ref half). This may not be active at the same time as Hot Feet.
Stone Spikes (Sp): starting at fourth level, Geomancers can cast Stone Spikes as an Immediate action at will, however the effects only last until the beginning of their next turn.
Levitation (Su): starting at fourth level, Geomancers levitate, hovering above the ground. They may also Levitate at will as per the spell.
Clear the Field (Sp): fifth level Geomancers gain the ability to cast Dispel Magic, with no limit to the Caster Level bonus, however it only targets spells with an area of effect, or that target and alter the terrain, not spells targeted at creatures.
Walls of Fire and Ice (Sp): sixth level Geomancers learn how to cast Wall of Fire and Wall of Ice, both as Immediate actions, but the effect will only last until the beginning of their next turn.
Zapped Feet (Su):at seventh level, Geomancers gain the ability to make nearby ground crackle with yellow light and electric sparks. As a Standard action, they may select a number of contiguous 10' tall 5' squares up to their hit dice, all within Medium Range, and affect them with the yellow glow. This lasts for one round per level. Poisons, Gases and Petrification effects cannot pass these squares, crackling away harmlessly. Anyone entering any of these squares takes 1d8 Electricity damage per level (Ref half). This may not be active at the same time as Hot Feet or Cold Feet.
Soothing Floor (Su): starting at level eight, Geomancers may lay down a 20' by 20' patch of glowing energy within Short range as a Swift action. This lasts for three rounds, and anyone who enters any of the squares immediately regains 3d6 HP plus the Geomancer's Wisdom modifier. Only one of these squares may exist at a time.
Icky Feet (Su):at ninth level, Geomancers gain the ability to make nearby ground bubble with green light and fumes. As a Standard action, they may select a number of contiguous 10' tall 5' squares up to their hit dice, all within Medium Range, and affect them with the green glow. This lasts for one round per level. Breath Weapons cannot pass these squares, consumed harmlessly. Anyone entering any of these squares is Poisoned (DC 10 + half HD + Wis, Damage: Instant Death, 1d6 Con damage on a successful save, no secondary damage). This may not be active at the same time as Hot Feet, Cold Feet or Zapped Feet.
The Floor Is Lava (Sp): tenth level Geomancers gain the ability to cast Transmute Rock to Lava (SC) at will.
Heavy Feet (Su):at level eleven, Geomancers gain the ability to make nearby ground pulse with blue light. As a Standard action, they may select a number of contiguous 10' tall 5' squares up to their hit dice, all within Medium Range, and affect them with the blue glow. This lasts for one round per level. Divinations and Mental Attacks cannot pass this barrier. Anyone entering any of these squares is permanently turned to stone (Fort negates). This may not be active at the same time as Hot Feet, Cold Feet, Zapped Feet or Icky Feet.
Tangled Feet (Su):at level twelve, Geomancers gain the ability to make nearby ground shimmer with indigo light. As a Standard action, they may select a number of contiguous 10' tall 5' squares up to their hit dice, all within Medium Range, and affect them with the indigo glow. This lasts for one round per level. Spells cannot pass this barrier, as though it were an anti-magic field. Anyone entering any of these squares is permanently turned insane as per Insanity (Will negates). This may not be active at the same time as Hot Feet, Cold Feet, Zapped Feet, Icky Feet or Heavy Feet.
Absent Feet (Su):at level thirteen, Geomancers gain the ability to make nearby ground warp and waver with violet light. As a Standard action, they may select a number of contiguous 10' tall 5' squares up to their hit dice, all within Medium Range, and affect them with the violet glow. This lasts for one round per level. All spells, objects and effects passing through are destroyed and have no effect. Anyone entering any of these squares is banished to another plane (Will negates). This may not be active at the same time as Hot Feet, Cold Feet, Zapped Feet, Icky Feet, Heavy Feet or Tangled Feet.
Freedom of Movement (Su): starting at level fourteen, Geomancers benefit from Freedom of Movement at all times.
Power of the Prism (Su): fifteenth level Geomancers may mix their fields of Feet up with any of the colours when creating them, in effect being able to activate all at once, but still with the same pool of contiguous squares. Additionally they may cast Prismatic Wall as an Immediate action at will, though the effect ends at the start of their next turn.
