Class Features[edit]
All of the following are class features of the <-class name->.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: The Savant is proficient with Light and Medium Armors, as well as all Simple and Martial Weapons.
Ward (Ex): At the start of their training a Savant undergoes a special ritual to gain unique Skills and Abilities to better serve a single being, as such at first level the Savant chooses a being to serve as his Ward. A being chosen as a Savant's Ward may refuse this choice, if so, the Savant must wait 24 hours to attempt to chose another Ward. Should the chosen being accept to be the Savant's Ward, a supernatural bond is formed between that being and the Savant and as the Savant grows he will gain a number of abilities and skills that will effect his capabilities to protect and care for his ward. This bond will allow the Savant to feel their wards emotions with slight focus.
Should a Ward Chose to break their bond or die, the Savant will Immediately lose Half their Max HP, as well as a -2 to all their ability scores these negatives last for 5 years.
Intercept (Su): At first level the Savant's bond with his ward allows him to move to his Ward side, this ability functions as the spell Dimension Door, except that the destination must be a adjacent to the Savant's Ward.
While the Savant is adjacent to their ward they may use their reactions to intercept attacks targeting their ward. This action is used with reflex saves. The DC for these saves are equal to the total incoming attack roll(for spells its equal to the casters save DC for the spell). Intercepted attacks now target the Savant's AC, any Intercept save that is 5 points or higher then the DC means the Savant redirects the attack and takes no damage.
Fast Movement (Ex): A Savant’s land speed is faster than the norm for his race by +10 feet. This benefit applies only when he is wearing no armor, or light armor, and not carrying a heavy load. Apply this bonus before modifying the Savant’s speed because of any load carried or armor worn. This bonus stacks with any other bonuses to the Savant’s land speed.
Bonus Feat: At first level the Savant gains any feat of their choice that they meet the requirements for. they gain this bonus feat choice again at levels 4, 8, 11, 15, 17, and 20.
Uncanny Dodge: Starting at 2nd level, a Savant can react to danger before his senses would normally allow him to do so. He cannot be caught flat-footed, nor does he lose his Dex bonus to AC if the attacker is invisible. He still loses his Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized. A Savant with this ability can still lose his Dexterity bonus to AC if an opponent successfully uses the feint action (see Combat) against him.
Loyal Boon: The Savant's dedication and loyalty to their Ward will grant them a number of abilities and powers that Starting at 4th level, allow them to better serve their master. Starting at 3rd level, the Savant may choose one of the following abilities:

Know Location (Su): At level 5 the Savant develops the supernatural ability to know the location of their Ward, so long as he and his Ward are on the same plane of existence. This ability takes 1 min to activate and works better with longer concentration.
Damage Reduction (Ex): Through specialized training the Savant learns to control his body in a way that allows him to reduce the amount damage he takes, legends speak of some Savants that could even move their internal organs to avoid death. This Savant training shows itself in a Damage Reduction(DR) of 5 points that can only be bypassed by Magic(DR 5/Magic) starting at 5th level,this DR is increased by 5 points at levels 10, 13, 16, and 19. (to a max of DR 25/Magic)
This ability stacks with any other DR the Savant may possess.
My Eye's on You (Su): At 10th level, the Savant gains the ability to keep a close eye on their Ward. This ability works as the spell Scrying except the target must be the Savant's Ward, the target gets a -5 to their save to negate the effect and using the ability only takes 10 minuets.
High Skill (Ex): The Savant spends hours of their days studying, practicing and honing his skills. Because of this dedicated training, at level 12 the Savant gains 5 extra skill ranks. The Savant gains these bonus ranks again at levels 14, 16, 18 and 20.
Indomitable Will (Ex): A Savant of 14th level or higher gains a +4 bonus on Will saves to resist enchantment spells. This bonus stacks with all other modifiers.
My Life Is Yours (Su): At 17th level, may preform a ritual to form a soul pack with his Ward. This ritual takes 5 days and connects the Savant's life to that of their Ward. After the ritual the Savants no longer takes penalties to his ability scores for aging and cannot be magically aged, so long as his Ward lives. Any such penalties that he has already taken, however, remain in place and Age bonuses still accrue.
Once this ritual is completed the Savant losses the Ability to change their Ward and will now Die the moment their Ward dies. The Ward of the ritual has the ability to pass their title of Ward to a single person, if done so they may never be the Savants Ward again.
A Servant Like No Other (Su): At level 20 the Savant gains the ability to alter his own probabilities multiple times per day, allowing him to do things most would believe impossible. 5 times per day the Savant can replace any roll they make with a natural 20.
Ex-Savant[edit]
A Savant without a Ward receives a -1 to all their ability scores. this penalty increases by -1 each day to a max of -6 after 6 days.
