Class Features

All of the following are class features of the Covenborn.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: The covenborn gains no additional weapon or armor proficiency.

Spells per Day/Spells Known: At the indicated levels, a covenborn gains new spells per day as if he had also gained a level in an arcane and divine spellcasting class she belonged to before adding the prestige class. She does not, however, gain any other benefits a character of that class would have gained, except for additional spells per day, spells known (if she is a spontaneous spellcaster), and an increased effective level of spellcasting. If a character had more than one spellcasting class before becoming a covenborn, she must decide to which class she adds the new level for purposes of determining spells per day.

At 7th level the covenborn must choose between her arcane and divine spellcasting classes for advancement.

Fey Familiar (Ex): At 1st level the covenborn’s familiar gains the fey animal template.

Schadenfreude (Ex): The covenborn gains a +1 morale bonus to attack and damage rolls (even on spells and spell-like abilities) whenever a target fails its save on a Hex or a spell with the curse subtype for one round per level. Unlike other morale bonuses this stacks with any other morale bonus including bonuses from previous rounds.

Spell-Like Abilities (Sp): Italicized text indicated a spell-like ability of the same name. These abilities are spell like abilities that are Charisma based. The covenborn may choose between Fortitude and Will based saves for her spell like abilities. The DCs for this are 10 + 1/2 character level + Int and Charisma modifiers. Unless otherwise indicated, the spell like abilities are usable 1/day.

Debased Familiar (Ex): At 3rd level the covenborn’s familiar gains the debased fey template. It’s alignment does not change.

Ability Boost (Ex): At 5th level the covenborn gains a +2 enhancement bonus to Charisma and Intelligence.

Greater Boon Companion (Ex): At 7th level the abilities of the covenborn’s familiar are calculated as though her witch level was 5 higher. This stacks with boon companion.

Hag Transformation (Su): Once per day the covenborn may assume the form of any type of hag. When you sleep you revert back to your normal form, or you may dismiss this ability at any time. While in hag form you gain any size modifiers, natural attacks, and spell-like abilities of that form.
