[Tome Feat] Stellar Oracle
Posted: Sun Jul 11, 2010 4:56 am
I'm trying to write a feat for a reflavored Samurai who is really keen on astrology. Ideally it will be balanced, and give stuff thematically linked to prophecy, dreams, and possibly navigation. This is my first draft, and I'm still looking for relevant spells I could use. Particularly vexing is level 11, since I haven't come up with anything that looks nice around that level yet. Lesser geas is weird, and I haven't looked up the specifics of Nightmare, but both of them seem to lack the specific flavor I seek.

You look to the stars for power and inspiration.
Knowledge (Arcana) Ranks:
0: You may choose whether or not you dream each time you lose consciousness. This may be used to protect yourself from spells such as Nightmare. If you choose to dream, you have a decent chance of getting plot-convenient visions. You can try to get prophecies or premonitions about specific stuff.
4: You may use See Invisibility, Dream, and Legend Lore at will.
You may also use Contact Other Plane once per time you sleep or are unconscious for at least an hour.
9: You can use Analyze Dweomer at will.
You can also bargain with beings from beyond the stars for more direct assistance through your dreams. This works sort of like Planar Ally (instead of normal CR limits, you summon things at most 4 CR below you. It's still a general call for help, though the same thing might answer your call multiple times.), but you do it while you sleep and the beings are called to your physical location after you conclude the deal and wake up.
14: Lesser Geas, Nightmare and something else maybe.
Perhaps calling more powerful stuff with the caveat that bargaining takes much longer and is higher-stake.
Perhaps more choice in what you call.
19: You may use Astral Projection and Gate twice per day.
