Seductive Infiltrator (Slayer/Bard)

Some slayers seek not to mask their presence, but instead, they make themselves known to their targets, inviting their foes to react. During the throes of such encounters, seductive infiltrators make their move, ensuring their targets never move again. (Original Concept by Lindley Court)

Primary Class: Slayer.

Secondary Class: Bard.

Alignment: Any.

Hit Dice: d10.

Bonus Skills and Ranks: The seductive infiltrator may select three bard skills to add to his class skills in addition to the normal slayer class skills, one of which must be Perform (oratory). The seductive infiltrator gains a number of ranks at each level equal to 6 + Int modifier.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: The seductive infiltrator is proficient with all simple and martial weapons, but not with any types of armor or shields.

Charming Mien (Su): At 1st level, a seductive infiltrator adds his Charisma bonus (if any) to his Armor Class as a deflection bonus. This ability replaces his armor and shield proficiencies.

Studied Target (Ex): This is exactly like the slayer ability of the same name, except that the bonus to attack and damage rolls granted by studied target is reduced by 1 (minimum 0). However, if the seductive infiltrator is adjacent to or in physical contact with his studied target at the time the target is studied, the seductive infiltrator gains a +2 bonus to his attack and damage rolls against that target. This bonus does not stack with his normal bonus. This alters studied target.

Alluring Performance (Su): At 2nd level, a seductive infiltrator gains the bard’s bardic performance ability, except that he can use this ability for a number of rounds per day equal to 2 + his Charismamodifier. At each level after 2nd a bard can use alluring performance for 1 additional round per day. Each round, the seductive infiltrator can produce any one of the following alluring performances that he has mastered, as indicated by his level. This ability, fascinate, unwitting ally, reckless infatuation, and denounce replace the slayer talents gained at 2nd, 6th, and 12th level.

Fascinate (Su): At 2nd level, a seductive infiltrator gains the bard’s fascinate performance.

Unwitting Ally (Sp): At 2nd level, a seductive infiltrator can spend 1 round of alluring performance to make an unwitting ally (as the spell) of a single creature that he has already fascinated (see above). He can affect one additional creature at 7th level and every five levels thereafter.
