Casting

A dark shaman may combine spheres and talents to create magical effects. You use Wisdom as your casting ability modifier.

Spell Pool

A dark shaman gains a small reservoir of energy he can call on to create truly wondrous effects, called a spell pool. This pool replenishes once per day after roughly 8 hours of rest.

Calculate: Calculate your spell pool: Base Spell Pool + your casting ability modifier (minimum: 1).

Magic Tradition

Dark shamans follow the High Patron tradition.

Magic Talents

A dark shaman gains a magic talent every time she gains a caster level, along with 2 magic talents the first time they gain the Casting class feature.

Default: You get the Fate Sphere with the Pain talent and the War Sphere sphere.

Hexes

Witches learn a number of magic tricks, called hexes, that grant them powers or weaken foes. At 1st level, a witch gains one hex of her choice.

Unless otherwise noted, using a hex is a standard action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity. The save to resist a hex is equal to 10 + 1/2 the witch’s level + the witch’s Intelligence modifier.

Default: Pick the Misfortune hex.

Effect: The witch can cause a creature within 30 feet to suffer grave misfortune for 1 round. Anytime the creature makes an ability check, attack roll, saving throw, or skill check, it must roll twice and take the worse result. A Will save negates this hex.

This hex affects all rolls the target must make while it lasts. Whether or not the save is successful, a creature cannot be the target of this hex again for 1 day.

Corrupted Magic

Whenever a dark shaman uses a sphere ability or hex, she may corrupt it as a free action. This adds additional effects to the ability for the duration of the ability. She may use her corruption a number of times per day equal to 1/2 her class level + her casting ability modifier.

A sphere ability or hex can receive any one of the these effects. No more than one corruption effect may be applied to a sphere ability.

Familiar

At 1st level, a witch forms a close bond with a familiar, a creature that teaches her magic and helps to guide her along her path. Familiars also aid a witch by granting her skill bonuses, additional spells, and help with some types of magic. This functions like the wizard’s arcane bond class feature.

Default: Take a centipede as an animal companion, granting +3 bonus on Stealth checks. While a familiar is within arm’s reach, the master gains the Alertness feat.

Feats

The dark shaman gains no extra feat on first level.

Default: Pick Dodge as your level 1 feat.
