Summary



Glamours, it can be argued, are perhaps the most useful type of illusion. They can perform a great number of utilitarian purposes. They can change appearances, turn others invisible, and mask the landscape. Glamourers range in nature from actors with a thousand faces to dread assassins and devious spies. No matter what purpose a glamourer uses their spells for, he is also quite adept at uncovering the disguises of others. Thus, courts often have one on hand to ferret out those who might use glamours for more malicious aims.

Class Features

All of the following are class features of the Glamourer.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A Glamourer is proficient with whatever they were already proficient with prior to taking levels in this class.

Spells per Day: When a glamourer gains a level the character gains new spells per day as if he had also gained a level in a spellcasting class he belonged to before he added the prestige class. He does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained (improved chance of controlling or rebuking undead, metamagic or item creation feats and so on.) This essentially means that he adds the level of glamourer to the level of any other arcane spellcasting class the character has, then determines spells per day, spells known, and caster level accordingly.

Inherent SpellSu: The glamourer automatically knows a single glamour spell for each level of spells he has access to. This does not count against a caster's known spells.

Spontaneous Casting: A glamourer can choose to lose a prepared spell in order to cast a glamour spell that he knows of the same or lower level. If linking metamagic feats to this spell it takes a full round to cast.

Bonus Feat: At 5th and 10th levels a glamourer gains a bonus feat. These bonus feats must be drawn from the following list: Augment Illusion, Enlarge Spell, Extend Spell, Heighten Spell, Illusion Focus, Illusory Insight, Imbue Illusion, Quicken Spell, Silent Spell, Skill Focus (Concentration), Split Concentration, Spell Mimicry, Still Spell, and Tactile Illusion. Some of the bonus feats cannot be acquired until the glamourer has gained one or more prerequisite feats.

Glamour DetectionSu: At 2nd level the glamourer gains the ability to detect glamours once per day. This ability works as the Detect Magic spell, but without the need to roll a Spellcraft check to determine school (since the glamourer only detects glamours).

Glamour SightSu: At 4th level a glamourer gains the ability to see through glamours of spell levels equal to or less than his levels in glamourer minus three. In other words a 5th level glamourer can see throughup to 2nd level glamour spells. He still sees a faint outline of what the glamour is meant to look like but can see what lies beneath with little difficulty. He may choose to have the outline disappear from his view at any time. This ability is continuous and supernatural.

A Thousand VisagesSu: At 10th level a glamourer gains the supernatural ability to change their appearance at will as per the Change Self spell.
