Thunder Caller is an Archetype of the Bard class in Pathfinder: Kingmaker.
Description[ | ]
Among mystical leaders are those who speak for the spirits of the land, who bear the knowledge of the ancients, and whose voices ring like thunder, calling the sky's wrath down upon their enemies.
Base Features[ | ]
A thunder caller gains most of the features of an bard. Instead of a bard's Inspire Competence, Dirge of Doom and Frightening Tune features, a thunder caller gains the following features.
|
Bound to the Land |
|
A thundercaller gains a bonus equal to 1/2 her level on Lore (Nature) checks.
| |
|
Thunder Call |
|
At 3rd level, the thundercaller can use her performance to unleash a deafening peal of thunder, blasting an area in a 10-foot range with a tremendous cacophony. Every creature in the area takes 1d8 points of sonic damage and must succeed at a Fortitude save to avoid being stunned for 1 round. Creatures that cannot hear are not stunned but are still damaged. At 7th level, the sonic damage that is dealt by this blast of sound increases to 3d8. This damage further increases to 5d8 at 11th level, 7d8 at 15th level, and 9d8 at 19th level.
| |
|
Incite Rage |
|
At 6th level, the thundercaller can induce a furious rage in all creatures within 30 feet. This effect functions as the rage spell and lasts as long as the target can hear the thundercaller's performance. Unwilling creatures can be affected if they fail a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 the thundercaller's level + the thundercaller's Charisma modifier). Success renders the target immune to this power for 24 hours. The thundercaller cannot target herself with this ability. Each affected creature gains a +2 morale bonus to Strength and Constitution, a +1 morale bonus on Will saves, a -2 penalty to AC, and cannot cast spells.
| |
|
Storm Call |
|
At 8th level, the thundercaller can use her performance to summon bolts of lightning that deal 3d6 points of electricity damage. The lightning storm lasts for as long as she continues her performance, calling down one bolt of lightning per round on a random enemy within 50 feet of the thundercaller. If in a stormy area (including a whirlwind formed by an air elemental of at least Large size), each bolt deals 3d10 points of electricity damage instead of 3d6.
| |
|
|
Storm Call, Greater |
|
At 14th level, whenever a thundercaller uses her Storm Call ability, the amount of damage dealt by bolts of lightning increases to 5d6 (or 5d10 when outdoors in stormy weather).
