Boo (3.5e Class)

400

Boo

Boos are a type of white spherical ghost with menacing and normally open mouths. They are known for their large tongues and small "arms" of some sort. However, the most distinctive characteristic of the Boos is their shy personality, where they cover their faces when someone looks them directly in the face. They will uncover their faces once the subject turns around.

Class Features

Weapon Proficiency: Boos are proficient with simple and martial weapons.

Class Defense: Boos have a B column Defense bonus.

Sneak Attack: If a Boo can catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from her attack, she can strike a vital spot for extra damage.

The Boo's attack deals extra damage any time her target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not), or when the Boo flanks her target. This extra damage is 1d6 at 1st level, and it increases by 1d6 every two rogue levels thereafter. Should the Boo score a critical hit with a sneak attack, this extra damage is not multiplied.

Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks only if the target is within 30 feet.

A Boo can sneak attack only living creatures with discernible anatomies—undead, constructs, oozes, plants, and incorporeal creatures lack vital areas to attack. Any creature that is immune to critical hits is not vulnerable to sneak attacks. The Boo must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. A Boo cannot sneak attack while striking a creature with concealment or striking the limbs of a creature whose vitals are beyond reach.

Evasion (Ex): At 2nd level and higher, a Boo can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If she makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage. A helpless Boo does not gain the benefit of evasion.

Invisibility: At 3rd level a Boo can become invisible that lasts 5 mins the number of times a day equal to its Int Mod. This is boosted to greater invisibility and lasts 10 mins at level 12.

Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Starting at 4th level, a Boo can react to danger before her senses would normally allow her to do so. She retains her Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) even if she is caught flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker. However, she still loses her Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized.

If a Boo already has uncanny dodge from a different class she automatically gains improved uncanny dodge (see below) instead.

Special Ability: On attaining 5th level, and at every three levels thereafter a Boo gains special abilities of her choice from among the following options. A Boo chooses to learn three special abilities at 5th level and learns one additional ability every three levels thereafter. Special abilities can be used a number of times per day = (# of abilities known) + Int Mod.

Fear Attack: On a successful sneak attack, target must make a Will save or become shaken (DC = 10 + Boo's level + Boo's Int mod). This effect becomes frightened at level 8 and panicked at level 12.

Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex): A Boo of 8th level or higher can no longer be flanked.

If a character already has uncanny dodge (see above) from a second class, the character automatically gains improved uncanny dodge instead.

Teleport: Boos can Teleport 1/day. This becomes a Greater Teleport at lvl 18.

Phase Door: Boos at level 14 can act as if Phase Door has been case number of times per day equal to their Int mod.

Special Abilities List

Bonus Feat: A Boo can acquire a Bonus Feat instead of learning a new special ability.

Crippling Strike: On a successful sneak attack, target takes 4 STR damage in addition to normal damage.

Disarming Attack: When making an attack, a Boo can try to knock a weapon out of an enemies hands. If the attack hits, target must make a successful Str save (DC = 10 + Boo level + Boo's Int Mod) or drops a weapon of the Boo's choice.

Evasive Footwork: Roll a d6 and add to AC. This lasts # of rounds = Dex Mod. Boos can't provoke attacks of opportunity when this is in affect.

Fast Reflexes: Boos can attempt to dodge the brunt of an attack when using this ability. Boo makes a reflex save and if equal to or greater than enemies attack throw then Boo only takes half the damage.

Fear Attack: On a successful sneak attack, target must make a Will save or become shaken (DC = 10 + Boo's level + Boo's Int mod). This effect becomes frightened at level 8 and panicked at level 12.

Mind Strike: On a successful sneak attack, target takes 4 WIS damage in addition to normal damage.

Opportunist: A Boo can deftly react to an adjacent enemy being attacked. When this happens, the Boo gets a Bonus action right after the enemy is attacked. The bonus action is a possible sneak attack for the enemy being distracted.

Precise Strike: Boo attacks with pinpoint precision at a target's weak point. This ability gives the next attack automatically a chance for critical damage. Does not affect target's immune to criticals.

Riposte: When an enemy misses a Boo with an attack, they can counter with an attack of opportunity against that enemy.

Sapping Strike: On a successful sneak attack, target takes 4 CON damage in addition to normal damage.

Skill Mastery: Boos are such skillful creatures that when they use this ability they can take an automatic 10 instead of rolling on a skill check. This applies even in adverse situations.

Slippery Mind: Any mental impairment or mind control on a Boo can be shaken off with the use of this ability.

Stunning Strike: On a successful sneak attack, target is stunned and loses its next turn.

Trip Attack: A Boo can attempt to knock an enemy prone with an attack. Upon hitting the enemy, the enemy must make a Reflex save (DC = 10 + Boo level + Int Mod) or fall down prone. The DC is affected by the size of the creature in comparison to the Boo as well.
