Fey Mage (Sorcerer/Summoner)

While many believe that the source of the fey’s magic is divine in nature, such as the magic wielded by druids, those with true knowledge understand that the fey draw their magical powers from the arcane. With this enlightenment, some sorcerers choose to pursue the path of the fey, striving to become one with the magic of those who come from the First World. With their increase in arcane magic and the ability to summon forth a fey eidolon, fey mages can hold their own either through the spells they wield or the eidolons they command.

Primary Class: Sorcerer.

Secondary Class: Summoner.

Alignment: Any.

Hit Dice: d6.

Bonus Skills and Ranks: The fey mage may select three summoner skills to add to her class skills in addition to the normal sorcerer class skills. The fey mage gains a number of ranks at each level equal to 2 + Int modifier.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: The fey mage is proficient with all simple weapons, plus the longbow and shortbow. The fey mage is not proficient with any armor or shields. Armor interferes with fey mage’s gestures, which can cause her spells with somatic components to fail.

Diminished Spellcasting: The fey mage casts arcane spells drawn from the sorcerer spell list, and both gains one fewer spell per day and learns one fewer spell of each spell level. She otherwise learns and casts spells as a sorcerer of equal level.

Bloodline: At 1st level, a fey mage chooses a bloodline from those listed in the sorcerer class description. At 1st level, the fey mage gains her bloodline arcane and adds her bloodline skill to her list of class skills.

At 2nd level, a fey mage gains her first bloodline power. A 6th level and every six levels thereafter, she gains each subsequent bloodline power, up to her fourth bloodline power at 18th level. The fey mage does not gain her bloodline spells or her bloodline feats. The fey bloodline compliments the fey mage multiclass archetype. This ability otherwise functions as the sorcerer’s bloodline.

Fey Eidolon: A fey mage begins play with the ability to summon to his side a powerful creature called a fey eidolon. The fey eidolon forms a link with the fey mage, who, forever after summons an aspect of the same creature. A fey mage summoner’s class level is halved (minimum 1) for the purposes of determining her fey eidolon’s abilities, Hit Dice, evolution pool, and so on. In addition, instead of an outsider, a fey mage’s eidolon has the fey creature type and the extraplanar subtype. As such, its statistics are changed from a standard eidolon as described in the Fey Eidolon description below. This ability otherwise functions as the summoner’s eidolon ability. This ability, fey resistance, and fey summoner replace the spells
