Skill points per level (6+int modifier) Class Features Weapon and Armor Proficiency: “Blades” are proficient with simple and martial weapons and light armor. Note that armor check penalties apply for heavier than leather armors apply to these skills Balance, Climb, Escape Artist, Hide, Jump, Move Silently, Pick Pocket, and Tumble.Bladestaff: The Bladestaff is an ancient elven weapon which is comprised of a long shaft with a razor sharp blade attached to each end. No two Bladestaffs are exactly alike. Each Blade of Sehanine Moonbow must create their own Bladestaff. Their weapon is designed and crafted with their own needs and preferences in mind. The height, weight, girth and adornments are the vision of the weilder of the staff. The Bladestaff is constructed entirely of metal, preferably mithril or adamantium; though it is possible to construct the Bladestaff from steel or iron in most cases the creator will wait until a better metal is available. Precious stones may be added to the Bladestaff durring creation as well. If these stones contain any enchantments the weilder of the Bladestaff gains their benefits. Enchanted stones, such as Augmentation Cyrstals, may only be installed durring creation, once the Bladestaff is complete it can not be altered, though it can be repaired if damaged. The Bladestaff is considered a double weapon and can be used as if fighting with two weapons, but if you do, you incur all the normal penalties associated with fighting with two weapons, just as if you were using a one-handed weapon and a light weapon (see Two-Weapon Fighting, PHB pg 160). However, unlike many double weapons, you can use both ends of the Bladestaff in a single combat round, if using this tecnique you incur the above mentioned two-weapon fighting penalties. Additionally the Bladestaff can be used as either a one-handed weapon or two-handed weapon. If used as a one-handed weapon only one end of the Bladestaff may be used in a combat round, yet you have the option to use it as a reach weapon; though you may only make a single attack from a distance of 5ft. Should you wield the Bladestaff with one hand without using reach you may make a full attack. In the event that the Bladestaff is used as a two-handed weapon, again you may only use one end of the weapon, you may only make one attack, and may not use it as a reach weapon; yet you calculate damage as a two handed weapon. Exotic Weapon Cost Dmg (M) Critical Range Incriment Weight Type Bladestaff Varies (see below) 2d4/1d6 x3 - Varies (see below) Slashing
Market Value: There is no standard market price for a Bladestaff. They are never produced for comercial purposes and no Blade of Sehanine Moonbow would ever sell or willfully part with their Bladestaff. Should a Bladestaff be put up for sale a merchant would likely have a difficult time placing a value upon it. Any merchant who was presented with the option of buying a Bladestaff may very well pass up the oportunity due to the lack of market, and consequently if any Blade of Sehanine Moonbow discovered that they were trading these weapons there would be dire consequences. If a merchant were presented with a Bladestaff, and had no knowledge of the Blades of Sehanine Moonbow, they would still have a difficult time placing a value upon such a rare and exotic weapon.Spells: A Blade of Sehanine Moonbow casts arcane spells (the same type of spells available to sorcerers, wizards and bards), which are drawn from the sorcerer/wizard spell list (PHB pg 192). A Blade of Sehanine Moonbow must prepare spells ahead of time.Spellbooks: Like the wizard, the Blade of Sehanine Moonbow must study her spellbook each day to prepare her spells (see Preparing Wizard Spells, PHB pg 177). She cannot memorize any spell not recorded in her spellbook.Channel Spell Bladestaff: At first level the Blade of Sehanine Moonbow gains the ability to channel a single prepared spell through her Bladestaff. Using this ability requires a move action and the Blade of Sehanine Moonbow uses her spell or spell slot just as if she had cast the spell normally. The channeled spell affects only the target struck with a successful attack roll with her Bladestaff (saving throws and spell resistance still apply). Even if the spell normally effects an area or is a ray, it affects only the target. The channeled spell is only stored for two combat turns. If the Blade of Sehanine Moonbow fails to connect with a target two combat turns after it is stored in the Bladestaff the spell fizzles. The Blade of Sehanine Moonbow may only channel spells through her own Bladestaff. Any weapon other than her own Bladestaff, including another Bladestaff, can not be used in this mannor.Weapon Focus Bladestaff: Through intense training with her Bladestaff the Blade of Sehanine Moonbow gains special insight into the use of her Bladestaff. At second level the Blade of Sehanine Moonbow gains the Weapon Focus feat (PHB pg 102). This feat is applicable to all Bladestaffs, regardless of ownership, yet dose not give her the ability to channel or store spells with any weapon other than her own Bladestaff.Bonus Feat: At third level the Blade of Sehanine Moonbow gains a bonus feat in addition to any feats gained through normal level progression. A Blade of Sehanine Moonbow must still meet the prerequisites for a bonus feat, including ability score and base attack bonus minimums.Weapon Specialization Bladestaff: At fourth level the Blade of Sehanine Moonbow has reached a new level of skill with her Bladestaff. She gains the Weapon Specialization feat (PHB pg 102) for the Bladestaff. This feat is applicable to all Bladestaffs, regardless of ownership, yet dose not give her the ability to channel or store spells with any weapon other than her own Bladestaff.Spell Penetration: At sixth level the Blade of Sehanine Moonbow has honed her arcane abilities. Her spells become especially potent, breaking through spell resistance more readily than normal. She gains the Spell Penetration feat (PHB pg 100). This applies to all spells, weather cast normally or channeled through her Bladestaff.Store Spell Bladestaff: At seventh level the Blade of Sehanine Moonbow gains the ability to store a single spell in her Bladestaff. This spell will remain stored within the Bladestaff until a sucessful attack is made on a target. The spell is automatically channeled upon the first sucessful attack roll after it is stored. The Blade of Sehanine Moonbow can not prevent the spell from discharging if a sucessful attack roll is made and will discharge on the first target it strikes including inanimate objects. The stored spell can be dispelled by the Blade of Sehanine Moonbow as a free action, in this case the Blade of Sehanine Moonbow dose not recover the stored spell. A new spell may be stored in the Bladestaff only if there is not currently a stored spell. If the Blade of Sehanine Moonbow attempts to store a second spell in her Bladestaff it fizzles and consumes that spell or spell slot as if it were cast normally. The channeling effect of the spell dose not change with the ability to store spells.Greater Weapon Focus Bladestaff: At seventh level the Blade of Sehanine Moonbow further increases her proficiency with the Bladestaff. She gains the Greater Weapon Focus feat (PHB pg 95) for the Bladestaff. This feat is applicable to all Bladestaffs, regardless of ownership, yet dose not give her the ability to channel or store spells with any weapon other than her own Bladestaff.Bonus Language: From years of adventuring and travel the Blade of Sehanine Moonbow gains a bonus language at eighth level. She may choose any language she has had exposure to at some point in her life. This language may be learned from practice or study.Bonus Feat: At ninth level the Blade of Sehanine Moonbow gains a bonus feat in addition to any feats gained through normal level progression. A Blade of Sehanine Moonbow must still meet the prerequisites for a bonus feat, including ability score and base attack bonus minimums.Greater Weapon Specialization Bladestaff: At tenth level the Blade of Sehanine Moonbow has reached the peak of her prowess with the Bladestaff. She gains the Greater Weapon Specialization feat (PHB pg 95) for the Bladestaff. This feat is applicable to all Bladestaffs, regardless of ownership, yet dose not give her the ability to channel or store spells with any weapon other than her own Bladestaff.
