Chapter 1 – Introduction
What is Avatar D20?
The first question you might ask is what is Avatar D20? This system is a D20 System-based Role Playing Game
similar to the popular Dungeons and Dragons Role Playing Game. Avatar D20 is a community-built system
designed and tested by the Giant in the Playground RPG Homebrew Forum Community by many contributors. This
system was created to be an Avatar: The Last Airbender Role Playing Game.

Avatar D20 and Dungeons and Dragons 3.5
The Avatar D20 system seems to have a lot in common with the D&D 3.5 game. This is because Avatar D20 uses
the D20 System that is the fundamental system of D&D. However, there are differences in the core rules between
the two systems. The D20 System Standard Reference Documents can be found at http://www.d20srd.com

Armor as Damage Reduction: The one major system difference between normal core D20 System and Avatar D20
is that all armor provides Damage Reduction in addition to Armor Class bonuses. Details of this variant can be
found at http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/adventuring/armorAsDamageReduction.htm

The Avatar
The Avatar, a central figure in the world of Avatar: the Last Airbender, is preceived to be the physical incarnation of
the spirit of the world. The Avatar serves to maintain a balance of power between the four human nations, promote
peace and prosperity throughout the world, protect the environment, and bridge the gap between the world of the
spirits and the physical world.

The Avatar's unique ability to master all four of the bending disciplines and use them in combination makes the
Avatar extremely powerful. In addition to the disciplined mastery of all the elements, the Avatar can, in times of
great danger or emotional stress, enter into a special "Avatar State," wherein the Avatar can call on the knowledge
and power of all the past Avatars. The Avatar's eyes glow and his or her power increases substantially. The Avatar
State even allows the Avatar to use bending abilities he or she would normally be unable to perform. Finally,
through intense meditation, the Avatar can enter into the spirit world and interact with spirits.

DM's including the Avatar in their campaigns should be cautious. At any given level, the Avatar is likely to be
substantially more powerful and versatile than any non-Avatar character. Additionally, the Avatar has a well-
defined role to play in the campaign setting, and possesses a prestige that few (if any) other characters can match.
NPC's should act appropriately when confronted with the Avatar, likely the most powerful and influential individual
on the planet. This means that an Avatar PC can easily overshadow his or her party members. DM's considering
allowing a player to create and play an Avatar character should take these issues into account.

The Avatar (Template)

Creating the Avatar
"Avatar" is an inherited template that can be added to any living, corporeal human (referred to hereafter as the base
creature).
The Avatar uses all the base creature’s statistics and special abilities except as noted here.
Size and Type
The creature’s type does not change. Size is unchanged. Do not recalculate base attack bonus or saves.
Hit Dice
The Avatar’s hit dice do not change.
Speed
The Avatar’s speed does not change.
Armor Class
The Avatar’s armor class does not change.

Attack
The Avatar usually uses his or her bending abilities in combat, but occasionally fights with either an unarmed strike
or with a weapon.
Full Attack
The Avatar usually uses his or her bending abilities in combat, but occasionally fights with either an unarmed strike
or with a weapon.
Damage
The Avatar’s damage is determined by weapon, unarmed strike, or bending type.

Special Attacks

• The Avatar State (Su): When in situations of extreme duress and in life threatening situations where escape
is almost impossible, a special defensive ability known as the Avatar State is awakened in the Avatar.
Situations of extreme stress include: whenever the Avatar is reduced to 0 or less hitpoints (but before
death), situations where the Avatar is subjected to fear, emotion, rage, or similar effects, or emotional
influences (such as extreme hurt, anger, sadness, or loss). Entering into the Avatar state requires 1d4 full
rounds as the energies build within the Avatar. While in the Avatar State, the Avatar is a being of
thoughtless emotion and generally reacts to the situation with whatever emotional state they felt upon
entering. This state decides what actions are taken in the Avatar State, such as if the Avatar is injured by
someone, he will focus his attacks on the attacker, or if someone has kidnapped his friend, he will go to
rescue his friend and woe to any in his way. While in the Avatar State, the Avatar’s power increases
exponentially as he unlocks the knowledge and power of all previous incarnations of the Avatar. The
Avatar’s overall bending level increases by 10 in each bending discipline (including ones he does not
currently know) and he gains a +25 insight modifier to all bending skill checks he makes (if the Avatar
does not currently know one or more of the other bending disciplines, he uses a straight 25 as his skill and
can use it untrained). Additionally, the Avatar may access the compiled knowledge of all of his previous
incarnations and utilize any bending seed. The Avatar may also safely overbend an amount of Constitution
damage equal to twice his character level with no penalty. When the Avatar comes out of the Avatar state
he resumes his normal status. If he overbends, then he is fatigued (or if overbending until Unconsciousness
or Death he is then unconscious and exhausted.) The Avatar State lasts for a number of minutes equal to the
Avatar’s character level. Using the Avatar State is a very dangerous gamble, because if the Avatar is killed
while in the Avatar State, then the eternal cycle of the Avatar is broken and the Avatar may not reincarnate
again.
Special: It is said that an Avatar may learn to control the Avatar State by unlocking all of his body’s
chakras and learning to purely channel the energy from them. There are many ways for this to be done, so it
is a spiritual quest for the Avatar to learn how. Once this is unlocked, the Avatar State may be called upon
by the Avatar whenever he chooses to use it, but harnessing this energy can only be safely done a number
of times per day equal to the Avatar's Wisdom modifier. This is due to the extreme stress on the Avatar's
psyche that bringing forth the Avatar State causes. The defensive reaction of the Avatar State may still also
happen, however, but this leaves the Avatar exhausted for several days if the Avatar State is used too often
(such as if all uses for the day are expended and then the defensive state is used).

Special Qualities

• Mastery of Elements: As the Avatar, the base creature must select a primary bending class based on which
nation the Avatar was born into (Air Nomads, Water Tribe, Earth Kingdom, or Fire Nation) and start as a
member of that nation’s bending class (Airbender, Waterbender, Earthbender, or Firebender). When the
Avatar reaches third level in that class, he may then start adding additional bending classes (provided he
has access to a teacher who is of at least level 5 in the class he is entering) to his repertoire. Once the
Avatar has enough experience to advance in level after he has studied under a master of the art he is
learning, he may advance a level in both classes (only his primary class is counted as his character level);
example being level 5 airbender advances with waterbender training, becoming a level 6 airbender/level 1
waterbender. Every level after the initial 1st level of the new bending class, the secondary style advances at
two levels at a time when the Avatar advances his primary bending class until it equals said bending class.
(Example: In the previous example, advancement would be 7AB/3WB, 8AB/5WB, 9AB/7WB,

10AB/9WB, and finally 11AB/11WB). Third and fourth styles advance at three levels and four levels at a
time respectively (though third and fourth styles can never surpass the second style) until they equal the
primary bending discipline in level. Note that when adding additional bending classes, the Avatar does not
gain the skills, saves, hit points, base attack bonus or proficiencies of that class. He gains the class abilities,
access to their bending skill, and their seeds. Seeds the Avatar learns are separate from the number of seeds
he knows in a different bending class (meaning he doesn't have to spend Airbender seeds to learn
Firebender seeds, he gets separate totals).
• The Bridge Between: As the Avatar is the reincarnating spirit of the world in mortal form, he is uniquely
suited to be the go-between for the material world and for the spirit world. By meditating and making a DC
25 Concentration check, the Avatar may move his spirit away from his body and into the Near Spirit World
or deeper into the True Spirit World with an additional DC 30 Concentration check.. The Near World is a
shadow of the material world where most weaker and mundane spirits dwell. The True Spirit World is a
whole new realm unto itself where powerful incarnations of the world dwell, as well as the spiritual
remains of some previous Avatars. The Avatar may pass through the layers of the spiritual plane easily
enough (without a check) but must find his body in the Near World to return. If it is moved, he will be
trapped until he finds it. In the spiritual plane, the Avatar has no access to his bending arts as there are no
elements to bend.

Abilities
No increase in abilities of the base creature.
Skills
The Avatar gains an additional bonus skill point per level that must be placed in a bending discipline's skill for every
style he knows.
Environment
Same as the base creature.
Challenge Rating
Special
Alignment
Usually good.

Chapter 2 – Benders
Bending Overview
This bending system prioritizes creativity and versatility over ease of use. It requires additional dice rolls to
adjudicate, but allows benders to combine bending seeds to create a wider range of options. Benders learn bending
seeds at the rate shown on their respective class table and may choose them from any seeds on their bending list.

Creating Forms: The bending arts are based around fully understanding the possibilities and applications of their
respective elements. As such, creative use of the element is important to the application of the art. Using a single
seed is often very useful or powerful in its own right, and can continue to be so at later level by advancing the seed’s
effects. However, in situations when two of the bender’s known seeds are compatible with each other, they can be
executed simultaneously or in conjunction with the bender’s other abilities, creating a bending form. Doing so uses
the bending time of the longest seed and uses the seeds’ combined Bending DCs +4. For example, a waterbender
could combine her blast with some thrown Ice Shards, dealing her blast damage+2d4 (or more, if the Waterbending
check allows for additional damage) as a standard action. The Waterbending DC for this would be 19 (5 for Blast,
+10 for the Ice Shards, and +4 for combining them). It should be stressed that players and DM's are intended to
cooperate to determine what combinations of bending seeds are appropriate in a given game. Many combinations
are possible, so be creative!

The Bending Skill: Almost all of a bender’s special abilities are determined by her modifier in the respective
bending skill. This is a skill exclusive to each of the bending classes and its dependent skill is Wisdom. Having at
least 5 ranks in Knowledge (Bending) grants a +2 synergy bonus to the bending skill, and vice versa. Note that due
to the complicated motions dealing with bending an element, armor check penalties apply to the skill.

Bending Range: The distance from which a bender can draw or extend any of her forms is 40 ft + 5 ft/level. Going
further is possible, but every 5 feet beyond this range adds a +1 to the Bending DC of the seed. A form that begins
within this ‘safe’ range but extends beyond it can fall short, and any element being used simply falls from the
bender’s control, acting naturally (water being absorbed into the ground, earth rolling downhill, etc.). If the form’s
DC reaches the bender’s roll without completely finishing its course, it dissipates at that point and acts naturally.

Using Forms: Executing a form provokes attacks of opportunity unless noted otherwise, and if the bender is
damaged while executing a form, she must make a Concentration check against the damage done or lose the form.
Bending forms cannot be used while pinned, but a bender can attempt to use a form while grappling by adding +10
to the Bending DC, and must make DC 20 Concentration check in order to successfully use the spell. For more uses
of the Concentration skill in Bending, look here. A bender's hands must be free in order to use any bending form,
unless noted otherwise; though weapons and items made from materials a bender can manipulate can be
spontaneously converted to use in forms.

Template Forms: Template forms can be applied to other bending forms (hereafter referred to as the "base form"),
altering their characteristics and increasing a bender's versatility. Template forms increase the Bending DC of the
base form.

Taking 10: Benders may choose to take 10 on any bending check, unless rushed or threatened. For the purposes of
this, combat does not count as being rushed, though an opponent threatening a bender in combat does prevent her
from taking 10 on bending checks.

Contested Bending: If two benders are vying for control of a single mass of their element, they make opposed
bending checks as a move action. In order to gain control of the element, a bender must beat her opponent's bending
check by 5 or more, though winning by 4 or less adds a +2 circumstance bonus to the next opposed check, until one
gains uncontested control of the element. If a bender wishes to take control of an element already controlled by
another bender (such as a waterbender's Water Whip seed or an earthbender's Armor seed) she takes -5 to the
bending check.

Bending on the Defensive: Bending while on the defensive does not provoke an attack of opportunity. It does,
however, require a Concentration check (DC 15 + 2 for every 5 of the bending DC) to pull off. Failure means that
you still successfully complete the form (provided you are able to make the Bendig DC), but provoke an attack of
opportunity for doing so.

Motion: Unless stated otherwise, all bending seeds have somatic components and are difficult to use with restricted
mobility. A bender takes -10 to the Bending check to do a form while prone.

Saves: Any saves in response to a bending form has a DC 10 + half the bender’s class level + the bender’s Wisdom
modifier.

Bending Blasts and Iterative Attacks: All benders have the ability to project bending Blasts as a basic ranged
attack. Descriptions of the various Blast abilities can be found in the individual class write-ups. In general, a bender
can make a number of Blast attacks per round equal to the number of iterative attacks she can make, as determined
by her Bast Attack Bonus. As a general rule, benders cannot increase the number of Blast attacks they can make by
taking feats or gaining class abilities. There are, however, two exceptions to this rule. A Firebender's Firestorm
ability allows him to make a single additional Fire Blast attack as part of a full round attack. Additionally, a bender
can take the Rapid Shot feat, increasing the number of Blast attacks she can make in a full round attack. A
Firebender with both Firestorm and Rapid Shot can make two extra Fire Blast attacks in a full round attack.

Fatigue: A fatigued bender takes a -4 to all bending checks, in addition to the other effects of fatigue, and an
exhausted bender takes an addition -4 to all checks, for a total of -8.

Overbending: Upon failing a bending check, a bender has a choice to go ahead and do the action for which she
rolled anyway. This is known as overbending and can range from strenuous to lethal, depending on the scope of
what the bender is trying to do, as shown on the table below. All effects stack, except for the various levels of
Constitution damage, though the Constitution drain does apply at the same time.
Failed By Effect
1-5 Fatigue
6-9 1d4 Con Damage
10-14 2d4 Con Damage
15-19 3d4 Con Damage, Exhaustion
20-24 4d4 Con Damage
25-30 Unconsciousness, 1 point of Con Drain
31+ Death
A bender rendered unconscious as a result of overbending makes a DC 20 Will save to wake up after four hours, and
every hour thereafter, with the save DC decreasing by -2 at each attempt. After eight hours, the bender automatically
wakes up, but is still Exhausted. It takes additional rest to remove this condition.

Quickened Bending: Powerful benders learn techniques intended to improve their economy of motion and allow
them to bend more quickly. By increasing the Bending skill DC of a seed by +10, a bender can perform a seed that
normally requires a full-round action as a standard action. By increasing the Bending skill DC of a seed by +20, a
bender can perform a seed that normally requires a standard action as a move action. Unless otherwise stated in the
seed's description, no seed can be performed as a swift, free, or immediate action.

Airbender
The speed and agility of the wind, the power of a tornado, and the subtlety of a cloud are all accessible to an
airbender, a member of a small group of individuals blessed with the ability to manipulate the air through sheer
force of will. Airbenders can hurl blasts of wind at their foes, create shields of swirling air, and even slice objects to
pieces with compressed air blasts.

Adventures – Craving freedom above all else, many airbenders are simply itinerant monks, whose traveling
lifestyle invites adventure. Others adventure on behalf of their communities, to visit and assist friends living far
away, or to help those in need.

Characteristics – airbenders are able to manipulate the air in many ways. Some chose to focus on mobility and can
become the most agile of fighters. Others learn to capture their foes in swirling tornadoes, incapacitating their
enemies. Still others seek to destroy the machinery of destruction, using compressed air to slice through metal,
stone, and wood. All airbenders, however, are agile fighters who can knock their enemies away and soar through the
skies on wooden gliders.

Alignment – While an airbender can be of any alignment, airbenders' emphasis of ahimsa (nonviolence) tends to
attract more good than evil. However, the airbender’s philosophical quest is one for ultimate liberation, and anyone
who completes the training, whether good or evil, chaotic or lawful, can become an airbender.

Religion – airbenders have a decidedly philosophical focus. They seek liberation from the bonds of the world, and
their discipline and dedication to this goal are shown in their simple lifestyles. Few airbenders worship any of the
spirits, though nothing prevents them from doing so.

Background – airbenders are trained at monasteries under the tutelage of senior monks. When they achieve the
status of Airbending Master, they receive arrow tattoos on their heads, arms, hands, legs, and feet. Often, an
Airbending Master will take a young student under his wing and help the student on an individual level.

Races – All airbenders (with the exception of the Avatar, who is able to master all four elements) are members of
the group known as the Air Nomads.

Other Classes – airbenders are masters of defense and evasion. They work well with almost all other classes,
though they find the confrontational style of Earthbenders difficult to understand and deal with. Airbenders’
emphasis on non-violence and defense can sometimes be frustrating for more offensively-minded individuals
(especially firebenders and members of the martial classes) but they work well with members of these classes as
often as not.

Abilities – A high Wisdom score is essential to an airbender as it determines the save DC’s for many of his best
forms and abilities. A high Dexterity is also important, as it affects many of an airbender’s best skills and provides
additional AC.

Alignment – Any (though tending towards good)

Class Features
Weapon and Armor Proficiency – An airbender is proficient with all simple weapons and warfans. Airbenders are
not proficient with any armor or shields.

Air Blast
Base DC: 5
The first offensive ability an airbender learns is to focus air currents around himself into a quick stream, forcefully
pushing objects in its path. An Air Blast is a ranged touch attack, and an airbender can use as many Air Blasts in a
full-round attack as her base attack bonus allows.

If a creature is struck by an Air Blast, it resolves as a bull rush attempt, with the airbender’s Airbending check
opposed by the target’s Strength or Dexterity check (whichever is greater). Additionally, creatures successfully
blasted by an Air Blast must make a Reflex save or be knocked prone at the end of the blast. Creatures blasted into a
solid object (a wall, large rock, cliff face, or similar massive object) take 1d6 points of nonlethal bludgeoning
damage for every 5 class levels the airbender has.

An airbender can affect creatures or objects weighing 10 lbs/2 levels with her Air Blasts. Weapons hurled by an Air
Blast deal their standard damage and do not benefit from bonuses to damage from a high Strength score or weapon-
based feats. Hard, dense objects hurled by an Air Blast deal 1d6 points of bludgeoning damage for every 25 pounds
of weight. Less dangerous objects deal 1 point of bludgeoning damage for every 25 pounds of weight. The
Airbender must succeed on a ranged attack roll to hit a creature with a projectile in this manner.

Deflect Attack
Base DC: 5
Early in their training, benders learn to block or deflect attacks directed at them and their companions. Once per
round, a bender can attempt to negate a ranged attack (either conventional or bending) targeted within 10 feet +5 ft/3
class levels. Negating this attack requires the bender succeed in an opposed attack roll. If the bender’s attack roll is
less than her opponent’s, the attack is unaffected by the deflection attempt and is resolved as normal. Using this
initial Deflect Bending attempt counts as an immediate action.

Additionally, a bender has the option of reserving iterative attacks in order to gain more Deflect Attack attempts.
Whenever she makes a full-round attack, a bender may choose to forgo a number of iterative attacks, gaining a
number of additional Deflect Attack attempts equal to the number of attacks the bender reserved. Regardless of how
many attacks a bender forgoes, she cannot use more Deflect Attack attempts than she has iterative attacks due to
high Base Attack Bonus. These subsequent Deflect Bending attempts do not count as actions, and can be used any
time during the round, even when it is not the bender's turn.

If a bender is caught flat-footed, she can make a Reflex Save (DC 10 + ½ the attacker’s BAB + the attacker’s
Dexterity modifier) to still make a Deflect Attack attempt. A flat-footed bender can never make more than a single
Deflect Attack attempt.

For example, a 15th level airbender’s Base Attack Bonus allows her to make 3 iterative attacks. If she decides to
make a full-round attack, she can reserve as many as 2 of these attacks in order to gain 2 additional Deflect Attack
attempts (bringing her total to 3 for that round).
Body of Air - As an airbender begins to subconsciously manipulate the air around himself, his motions become far
quicker and easier for him to control, baffling others around him. Alternatively, and airbender can cause small air
currents to support his body as if he were far lighter than he actually is. An airbender gains a bending bonus towards
any Climb, Tumble, and Jump checks equal to his airbender level.
Wind Shaping
Base DC: 5
With minor effort an Airbender may bend the air around him to create simple, pragmatic effects.
• Body Burst: The Airbender may force the air around his body to rush away from him and push small things away.
Be they circling insects, dirt and mud on his clothes, or annoying lemurs, the Airbender may make an Airbending
check to move things away from him in a 5 foot radius, pushing them 5ft. Creatures of size Tiny or larger may resist
with a Strength check opposed by the Airbender's Wisdom check, provided they weigh more than one pound.
• Hand of Air: A technique of convenience, the Airbender learns to move objects by manipulating the air pressure
and wind currents around an object. So long as an object that weighs less than 5lbs is within his bending range, an
Airbender may move it anywhere within his bending range. For every 5 by which his Airbending check exceeds the
DC, the maximum weight an airbender can manipulate with this ability increases by 5 lbs. Objects shaped so as to
catch air (such as an airtight bag) may grant bonuses to this check, and objects specifically designed to be
transported in this way halve the DC of Airbending checks used to move them. This object does not travel fast
enough to cause damage. This may also be used to simply blow small amounts of air over and around objects, such
as to perform minor acts of mischief or to cool hot food.
Evasion – An airbender can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If he makes a successful
Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, he instead takes no
damage. Evasion can be used only if the airbender is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless airbender does not
gain the benefit of evasion. Beginning at 10th level, an airbender gains the Improved Evasion ability. This ability
works like evasion, except that while the airbender still takes no damage on a successful Reflex saving throw against
attacks henceforth she takes only half damage on a failed save.
Improved Unarmed Strike – Airbenders gain Improved Unarmed Strike as a bonus feat at 3rd level.
Flight – Beginning at 4th level, an airbender learns to manipulate the air currents around his glider, allowing him to
fly. The airbender’s flight speed and maneuverability are shown on the above table. An airbender can fly for a
number of rounds at a time equal to his Wisdom score. An Airbender must use a glider (such as his staff) in order to
fly.
Dodge – Beginning at 4th level, an airbender gains a dodge bonus to AC as a result of his emphasis on defensive
motion and combat. He loses this bonus when he wheres armor or is carrying more than a light load.

Airbending Seeds
Particles
Base DC: 10
By kicking up small particles of dust and sand into the air, an airbender can obscure vision and blind opponents.
• Dust cloud: An airbender may make a hemisphere of dust anywhere within her bending range with a radius of 10
ft. The fog obscures all sight, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. A creature within 5 feet has concealment (attacks
have a 20% miss chance). Creatures farther away have total concealment (50% miss chance, and the attacker can’t
use sight to locate the target). A moderate wind (11+ mph) disperses the fog in 4 rounds; a strong wind (21+ mph)
disperses the fog in 1 round. This seed does not function underwater. Increasing the radius of the cloud adds +5 to
the Airbending DC per 5-foot increase. This seed does not work unless there’s a generous supply of sand or similar
material in the affected area.
• Blind: By aiming a spray of sand or dust at an opponent’s eyes, an airbender can try to temporarily blind the
creature. The airbender makes a ranged touch attack against a target’s AC, taking -5 on the attack roll because of the
small area targeted. If the attack is successful, the target creature is rendered blind until the end of its next round.

Run as the Wind
Base DC: 10
Among the most frustrating of airbender qualities is the near-impossibility to pin them down. Heh. Well, good luck
doing it now.
• Burst of Speed: By creating air currents in front of and around him, an airbender can reduce his wind resistance
and accelerate his running. An airbender can use this seed to increase his base land speed by 5 feet, plus an
additional 5 feet for every four points by which the Airbending check exceeds the DC as a swift action. Note that the
actual movement involved still takes a move action to use.
• On the Walls: By manipulating small currents of air around him, and airbender can support his own weight even
against the force of gravity. On any turn in which an airbender moves at least 60 feet, he may run on a vertical
surface, such as a wall or pillar, at no penalty; even straight up. An airbender must remain moving as he does this,
and stopping for any reason causes the airbender to fall to the ground as normal; use of the Spring Attack feat to
move before and after an attack could allow an airbender to attack while moving on a vertical surface, with other
exceptions subject to DM approval.

Palm Bow (Template)
Base DC: +10
By moving your hands in a rapid spiraling motion, you bring in existence a tunnel of rushing winds between your
palms. This wind tunnel is able to propel small projectiles with heightened force and accuracy.
• Applications: By adding +10 to the Airbending DC of an Air Blast, an airbender may launch a number of small
projectiles (Arrows, bolts, shurikens, stones, etc) equal to 1/2 his class level. The projectiles must be within a 5 ft
radius of the airbender to be used in ths seed, though other characters can supply the airbender with ammunition
while he is maintaining the seed. Inititating this seed is a standard action, and an airbender can maintain the tunnel
by taking a full-round action each round for a maximum number of rounds equal to his class level (requiring an
Airbending skill check each round to maintain the tunnel). The projectiles are launched in a line, the length of which
is equal to the airbender's bending range. Creatures caught in the line take 1d6 points of damage for each projectile
launched, and are allowed a Reflex save for half damage. If the line deals enough damage to a barrier to break
through it, it continues on past the barrier if the range permits; otherwise, it stops at the barrier. An airbender must
only make one Airbending check for all projectiles thrown.

Air Burst (Template)
Base DC: +10
By adding an additional +10 to the bending check, the airbender may apply this template to his Air Blast. The Air
Blast will now be applied to all targets (friend or foe) within five feet of the airbender’s location, hurling them in a
straight line away from the airbender. The airbender may bend this airflow around targets caught in the burst radius
by increasing the DC by a further +5 per target ignored by the airburst and may increase the radius of the form by 5
ft for every 5 points by which the bending check exceeds the DC.

Air Thrust (Template)
Base DC: 10
You create an outline of his body composed of compressed air and send it charging toward your target.
• Applications: The airbender sends a blast of air similar to that of the Air Blast towards a target within a line 50
feet. The target takes 1d4 points of bludgeoning damage and is knocked back as if hit by an Air Blast and may take
additional damage if applicable. The airbender may increase the concussive force of this blast to do more damage by
increasing the DC of the check by +5 per die of damage to a maximum of the airbender’s class level.

Airbender's Leap
Base DC:15
You create an outline of his body composed of compressed air and send it charging toward your target.
• Applications: The airbender sends a blast of air similar to that of the Air Blast towards a target within a line 50
feet. The target takes 1d4 points of bludgeoning damage and is knocked back as if hit by an Air Blast (taking
additional damage if applicable). The seed deals an additional 1d4 damage for every 5 by which the airbender's skill
check exceeds the DC of the form (to a maximum of 1d4/level).

Air Scooter
Base DC: 15
By compressing air into a whirling ball, an airbender can make a quick (and entertaining) ride or a useful deterrent
to opponents.
• By balancing on his ball of air before it disperses, an airbender can attain great speed and maneuverability. When
using this seed, the airbender’s base land speed becomes 60 ft, and he can ride the air scooter on any surface that
would normally require a climb check, including vertical surfaces, though he must move at least 30 ft per round to
avoid falling to the ground on such a surface. An air scooter can be maintained for a number of minutes equal to half
the airbender’s class levels. The Air Scooter can also traverse normally impossible surfaces, such as water, lava, or
thin ice at no penalty, but cannot rise more than a few inches off the ground while the airbender is riding it.

Sound Waves
Base DC: 15
By manipulating air currents and ‘thickening’ or ‘thinning’ the air, the airbender may muffle the sounds she makes
to move as quietly as a gentle breeze or as loudly as an avalanche.
• Stillness: By speeding the air up and forcing it away from herself, the airbender can slow or even cancel sound
waves through the air around herself as she moves, granting her a bonus on Move Silently checks equal to her
Airbender level. She can extend this to a friendly creature within a 5ft radius by adding +10 to the DC per person.
This seed requires concentration, so the airbender may only make a move action each round while using it.
• Resonating Sound: By thickening the air and compressing it, the airbender increases the potential for resonating
sound energy. The airbender solidifies the air into a line and makes a noise like a crack of thunder through the line
of thickened air, causing 1d4 points of sonic damage and forcing those affect to make a Fortitude save or be
deafened for a number of rounds equal to the airbender's wisdom modifier, minimum 1. The airbender may increase
the damage by 1d4 by increasing the DC by +5 per die to a maximum of the airbender’s class level.

Flowing Air Strike
Base DC: 15
By manipulating the air currents around his limbs, an airbender can cause his strikes to come harder and more
quickly.
• When attacking in melee combat with unarmed strikes or a light weapon, an airbender gains a +1 circumstance
bonus to attack and damage rolls, plus 1 more for every 5 points by which the Airbending check exceeds the DC.
This seed can be maintained as a swift action every round.

Levitate
Base DC 20
• Hover (Base DC 20): As a move action, an airbender can create rushing winds around his entire body, slowly
lifting him into the air. This allows the airbender to move up to 10 ft through the air as a move action. This seed lasts
as long as the bender can concentrate (a swift action, up to a maximum number of rounds equal to his class level),
and the bender can move up or down as he desires. The bender’s maximum speed increases by 5 ft for every 5 by
which the Airbending check exceeds DC.

• Twinkletoes (Base DC 10): By only pushing the air currents around him enough to make lighten his weight, an
airbender can make himself exceptionally light on his feet. The airbender gains partial concealment against any
creature sensing him through tremorsense, and gains a +5 bonus to Move Silently checks as long as he maintains
this seed. This seed can also be used to walk across surfaces that would usually not support an airbender’s weight;
such as thin ice, weak branches, floating leaves or similar surfaces. Executing and maintaining this seed are both
swift actions, and the Airbending DC for maintaining this seed increases by a cumulative +2 every round.

Air Scythe
Base DC 20
One of the few truly damaging weapons in an airbender's arsenal, the air scythe is feared among those that would
provoke an airbender to action.
• Buffet: By compressing and suddenly releasing a violent wave of air, and airbender can pound their opponents
from afar. As an attack action, an airbender can launch a ranged touch attack dealing 1d6 +1/2 airbender levels
bludgeoning damage; plus another 1d6 damage for every 5 points by which the Airbending check exceeds the DC.
All damage done with this seed is non-lethal, though an airbender wielding his airbender's staff can choose to deal
lethal damage with this seed.
• Batter: An airbender wielding his airbender's staff can use this seed at the rate of his quarterstaff attacks.
Otherwise, this seed is as above.

Deep Breath (Template)
Base DC: +15
By adding +15 to an Airbending skill check DC, an airbender can do any form without using somatic components
(though using the form still provokes attack of opportunity, as normal), as long as the bender’s mouth or nose is free
and not gagged or otherwise hindered from opening. The form is performed as a cone of air from the bender’s
mouth, a burst of wind from the bender’s nose that makes him fly high into the air, or any other appropriate
description.

Stormwinds
Base DC: 20
A highly advanced technique in Airbending, this allows an Airbender to conjure up moderate winds to incredibly
powerful winds of hurricane-strength ferocity. Rarely used as Airbenders are notoriously hard to anger, this form
possesses devastating potential to all within its path.
Gale Force: Stormwinds forms a cone of air which extends to the end of the Airbender's bending range which he
may maintain by making an Airbending check each round at half of the initial DC to maintain. Using this technique
is a full round action, and the wind blows until the Airbender’s next turn. This wind begins at a DC of 20 to begin at
a wind category of Severe. The seed can be maintained up to a number of rounds equal to the bender's airbender
level. By adding +10 to the Airbending DC, the Airbender may increase the force of this wind one stage per increase
of the DC.
Cyclone: The Airbender may also funnel the wind around himself in a 20ft radius that reaches 40ft high at an
additional +10 DC to the bending check when using Gale Force.

Air Shield
Base DC 25
The most powerful defense in the airbender’s arsenal, the air shield can protect against numerous attacks and other
conditions. An air shield forms starting immediately around the airbender and pushes outward to a radius of 5ft, any
creatures or objects no more than one size larger than the airbender are pushed to the edge of the air shield, unless a
successful strength check with a DC equal to the Airbending check is succeeded. The air shield acts like a Wind
Wall, preventing any and all projectiles up to the size of the airbender from penetrating the air shield, and creatures
attempting to push through the air shield must succeed a strength check with a DC of the original Airbending check
result. The shield also protects the airbender from any gases or liquids immediately around him. An airbender can
increase the radius of the air shield by 5ft by increasing the DC by +5, up to a maximum of 30ft. Additionally, the
airbender may choose to form the air shield around the maximum radius rather then starting around himself.
• Protect Allies: This application does not push any objects or creatures out of area like normal and increases the DC
by +5. An airbender must concentrate using a standard action to keep the air shield, an airbender may also move
with the airshield, but only at half speed, any actions besides movement and concentration results in the lose of the
air shield.

• Flight: A highly skilled airbender has learned how to manipulate the air currents and the swirling air of the shield
to allow limited flight while the air shield is active. Whenever an air shield is active, the airbender can make an
Airbending check with a DC of the original DC to form the air shield +10, this allows the airbender to move with
the shield with a fly speed of 20ft (good). The airbender must make this check each round to continue flying with a
colmunalitive +2 to the DC. If the airbender fails the check while airborne, the air shield disappears and the
airbender falls, but takes damage as if he fell 20ft plus the radius of the air shield less than the actual distance.

Engulfing Winds
Base DC 30
An airbender learns to manipulate the air currents to create a fast moving channel of turbulence, impeding
movement. The current of air is 5ft wide and starts directly in front of the airbender, following a path the airbender
specifies that continues away from her but may make any turns up to a 45 degree angle at any point along the path.
The total length of the path cannot exceed 10ft per airbender level. The use of this seed takes a full-round action that
provokes attacks of opportunity and requires a full-round action to concentrate each round or the effect is lost.
Creatures within the area of the current are allowed a Reflex save to avoid being caught.
• Push: All objects and creatures in the area of the path are effected as if by the Air Blast. Creatures and objects
caught in the current are pushed along the path of the current until they reach the end. If the end is reached and the
creature or object would be moved further, they are pushed out of the current in a line. Additionally, any creature
attempting to move against the path of the wind must succeed in a strength check DC10 + the airbender's wisdom
modifier to move at quarter speed. To move at half speed increases the strength check DC by +10 and another +10
to move at full speed. Creatures that are more stable such as dwarves or creatures with more than two legs or are of
large size gain a +4 bonus to their strength check. Creatures of huge size gain a +10 bonus and creatures greater than
huge are unaffected by the seed. Moving with the flow of the current is just as difficult, requiring a strength check as
if moving against the current at quarter speed. Success means the creature may move at half speed, failure means the
creature is affected by the Air Blast effect even if they normally would not be affected.
• Containment: Just as creatures cannot easily move against the currents, a creature cannot exit the current easily
once caught. A creature can exit the current only by taking a move action to make a DC 15 strength check, resulting
in the creature standing adjacent to the path.
• Updraft: An airbender is not limited to making the path flow parallel to the ground, but may also have the path
flow upwards at any point along the path. The path may bend upwards at a 90 degree angle, costing one 5ft of the
length. Any creature in an upward bend gains a bonus to their jump check equal to twice the airbender's level and
are considered to have a running start. The updraft can hold 20lb per airbender level in place along the updraft and
slow downward movement to 5ft per round for objects of up to 40lb per airbender level or 10ft per round for objects
up to 80lb per level.
• Downdraft: A downdraft works just like an updraft except the 90 degree bend is downward, forcing creatures
down. Creatures in this area take a penalty to jump checks equal to the bonus given for updraft and fall twice as fast,
so a 10ft fall would deal damage as a 20ft fall.
• Quick Draft: An airbender may take a standard action to create a temporary updraft that sends objects and
creatures into the air along a straight upward path. The path follows the rules as normal, but can only have one 90
degree upward or downward bend and no other turns.

Tornado
Base DC: 30
• Disperse: By manipulating air currents into a tight spiral, the Airbender can severely impede the movement of
his/her foes. This form creates a small tornado anywhere within 30 feet of the Airbender, which can be moved 40
feet per round as a move action, has a 5 foot radius, and may be up to 40 feet tall. Upon contact with a creature, the
tornado stops moving, even if it has movement remaining that turn. Creatures inside the tornado need to make a
Reflex Save (DC + half the Airbender’s class level + the Airbender’s Wisdom modifier) or be stunned and flung to
the side as if they were bull rushed (the Airbender makes a bull rush attempt against the target who failed using his
Airbending skill check). Roll 1d8 to determine the direction the tornado throws the target. Even if the creature
passes the Reflex Save, he/she still moves at half speed until out of the tornado. Creatures that are larger than the
tornado gain a +4 circumstance bonus to their Reflex Save. The tornado lasts as long as the Airbender concentrates
to maintain it (a standard action), up to a maximum number of turns equal to the Airbender’s class level.
• Capture: By manipulating air currents into a tight spiral, the Airbender can create a massive vortex of wind that
forms as a tornado. This seed takes a full-round action to create a tornado around the airbender with a base 5ft wide
and 15ft wide at the top and 30ft high. Whenever a creature of up to huge size occupies the same space as the

tornado, that creature must succeed in a reflex save. If the creature fails the reflex save they are carried into the air
along with the tornado, otherwise they take 2d6 damage. The creature is carried 5ft up on the first round and another
5ft every other round until it reaches the top. Each round the creature may make a reflex save to exit the tornado at
any square adjacent to the creature’s current location in the tornado. If the creature remains in tornado that creature
takes 2d6 damage. Creatures in the tornado are considered prone and have total concealment, additionally, the
tornado protects all the occupants from projectile attacks as a Wind Wall spell. The airbender may locate himself
any where inside the 5ft wide section of the tornado and may change position as a swift action. The tornado takes a
certain amount of concentration that takes a full-round action on the part of the airbender, but the tornado itself may
move up to twice the airbender’s base land speed. If the airbender would be hit by an attack, she must make an
Airbending check to keep the tornado, otherwise the tornado disappears and the airbender is falls prone on the
ground. For every 5 the Airbending check exceeds the DC the height and top width increases by 5ft.

Earthbender
Strong and steady, earthbenders are a highly disciplined group with the ability to manipulate stone, soil, crystal, and
other earth-based substances. They can attack aggressively with hurled boulders, or they can be bastions of [defense
behind walls of stone and giant fissures.

Adventures - Many earthbenders are attached to earth Kingdom military units and adventure at the command of
their superior officers. Others wander for personal reasons including acquisition of wealth and power, to fight in
earthbending tournaments, and to find an earthbending Master to help them improve their skills.

Characteristics - Of all the bending arts, earthbending is perhaps the most balanced, strong in both offense and
defense. On the offense, earthbenders can hurl large boulders at their enemies, trap their enemies in cages of stone
and soil, immerse their enemies in earth, or throw them off balance with localized earthquakes. On the defensive,
they can raise stone walls out of the ground, encase their bodies in earthen armor, and hurl their enemies away with
quickly-rising columns of stone.

Alignment - An earthbender's training and lifestyle is one of rigidity and endurance. As such, they tend to be lawful.
However, unlike other bending disciplines, earthbending lacks any dominant moral imperative and earthbenders fall
all over the good-evil axis.

Religion - earthbenders are incredibly self-sufficient and, as a group, show little predilection for religion. Some
revere the earth King as a minor deity, but many do not.

Background - Many earthbenders have a military background, employing their formidable powers for the benefit of
the earth Kingdom. Others learn in earthbending schools as children. Still others have private tutors.

Races - All earthbenders (with the exception of the Avatar, who is able to master all four elements) are members of
the group known as the earth Kingdom.

Other Classes - earthbenders find the evasive style of Airbenders difficult to deal with, and prefer to stand their
ground and fight than dodge attacks. They work well with almost all kinds of Benders, where their balance of
offense and defense allows them to fill many roles. They also work well with the martial classes for the same reason.

Abilities - A high Wisdom score is essential to an earthbender as it determines the save DC's of many of her best
abilities. High Constitution and Strength are also helpful if the earthbender chooses to take advantage of her weapon
and armor skills and engage in melee combat.

Class Features
Weapon and Armor Proficiency - An earthbender is proficient with all simple weapons, throwing hammers,
warhammers, light and heavy picks, greatswords, and light and medium armor.

Earth Blast
Base DC: 5
The first offensive ability an earthbender learns is to levitate the earth beneath her and punch or kick at great speeds
towards her opponents. A blast deals 1d6 bludgeoning damage at 1st level (half damage to objects) and increases in
power as the earthbender gains levels, as shown above. A blast is a ranged attack, and an earthbender can use a
number of blasts in one round equal to the number of iterative attacks she can make (as determined by her BAB). A
earthbender cannot apply precision-based damage from any source to the damage dealt by her blasts. A earthbender
can only use blasts when there is a source of open earth within her bending range. A earthbender does not requires a
line of sight to the target of the blast, and as such can maneuver the blast around a corner or other cover by adding
+10 to the earthbending DC, but still suffers penalties for concealment, as appropriate. Because of the strength
required to move a stubborn element like earth, an earthbender may apply his Strength modifier instead of his
Dexterity modifier to an Earth Blast's attack roll, if she wishes; and she also adds her Strength modifier to damage.

Deflect Attack
Base DC: 5



For example, a 15th level earthbender’s Base Attack Bonus allows her to make 3 iterative attacks. If she decides to

Move a Rock
Base DC: 5
The most basic of the earthbending seeds, manipulation involves simple movement or shaping of earth or stone.
Movement: The base DC is for moving a 5-foot cube of earth up to 5 ft/round in any direction. Adding another 5-
foot cube of earth to a seed increases the Earthbending DC by +4 per cube, and moving the earth an additional 5 feet
adds +2 to the DC. This use of the seed is a move action.
Shaping: This seed can also be used to manipulate the basic shape of earth or stone, though it does not allow
intricate detail. For example, creating a sculpture of a humanoid is possible, but making one of a specific person is
not, and the sculpture comes out rough and bumpy; creating a sculpture of a specific race is also difficult, but telltale
features (like an elf’s ears) could give it away. The base DC is for manipulating the shape of a Diminutive mass of
earth stone; the Earthbending DC increases by +5 for every size category larger than Diminutive the sculpture is,
and this changes to +10 for every size category larger than Large it is. This use of the seed takes one full-round
action, plus two more for every size category larger than Diminutive the sculpture is. Shaping stone is essentially
cutting away chunks from a block of stone, while shaping earth is actually altering its shape.

Improved Unarmed Strike - An earthbender gains Improved Unarmed Strike as bonus feat at third level.

Climb – By bending hand and footholds into a stone or earthen surface, an earthbender can climb even sheer
surfaces easily. An earthbender gains a +8 Competence bonus on all Climb checks. She must still make a Climb
check to climb any wall or slope with a DC higher than 0, but she always can choose to take 10, even if rushed or
threatened while climbing. This ability only works on substances the earthbender could usually bend.
Head-On Defense – Beginning at 7th level, an earthbender adds her Constitution modifier to her Reflex saves
instead of her Dexterity modifier.

Earthbending Forms - Most earthbending seeds require a significant amount of earth. Earth is defined as soil,
stone, crystal or any other naturally occurring mineral (metal ores works, too; but worked metal requires special
training); though earthbenders have very limited control over sand and it may not be used in earthbending forms.
The amount of soil used in bending forms is usually not enough to change the landscape, though using stone does
leave noticeable gaps from where it was drawn. Using stone from a stone floor turns the square from where the stone
was drawn into rough terrain.

Earthbending Seeds
Note: Certain earthbending seeds (or forms created by combining earthbending seeds) are intended to immobilize
their target by encasing it in earth or stone. In these circumstances, the target is rendered completely immobile, but
not helpless. Additionally, a creature encased in earth or stone can break out using a Strength or Escape Artist
check. The DC for this check is 10 + half the earthbender's class level + the earthbender's Wisdom modifier.
Additionally, an earthbender can render an opponent helpless with an earthbending seedby increasing the seed's
Earthbending skill DC by 20

Dust
Base DC: 10
By using limited control over small particles of earth, an earthbender obscures vision and blinds her foes.
• Dust cloud: An earthbender may make a hemisphere of fog anywhere within her bending range with a radius of 10
disperses the fog in 1 round. This seed even functions underwater. Increasing the radius of the cloud adds +5 to the
Earthbending DC per 5-foot increase.
• Blind: By aiming a spray of sand or dust at an opponent’s eyes, an earthbender can try to temporarily blind the
creature. The earthbender makes a ranged touch attack against a target’s AC, taking -5 on the attack roll because of
the small area targeted. If the attack is successful, the target creature is rendered blind until the end of its next round.

Earth Wall
Base DC: 10
A signature ability of many earthbenders for when Move a Rock just doesn’t cut it, a wall of earth is often the best
weapon in an earthbender’s arsenal.
• Earth Wall: The earthbender causes a small wall of earth to shoot out of any earthen surface within her bending
range as a standard action. The wall is 1 inch thick, plus one more inch per every 2 points by which the
Earthbending check exceeds the DC. The wall’s area is one five-foot square, but the earthbender can add another
such square by increasing the Earthbending DC by +4. Each 5-foot square of the wall has hardness 2 and 10 hit
points per inch of thickness. Breaking through with a single attack requires a Strength check of 10 +2 per inch of
thickness. An earth wall cannot be used as a bridge and must be made anchored in existing earth.
• Stone Wall: As above, except that this seed can only be done on a stone surface, and the wall has hardness 8 and 15
hit points per inch of thickness.
• Push: An earthbender can push an existing wall of earth or stone to knock opponents back as a move action. The
earthbender pushes the wall back 20 ft in a straight line, plus another 5 ft for every 4 points by which the
Earthbending check exceeds the DC. Any opponent caught behind the wall must make a Reflex save, +5 for every 5
feet away from the nearest gap to the wall he is to avoid the wall and jump to that square, provoking attacks of
opportunity while doing so.

Column
Base DC: 10
Through the use of this seed, an earthbender causes a column of earth, stone, or crystal to thrust out of an earthen
surface.
• Crush: An earthbender thrusts a column of earth from the ceiling above, the ground below or a wall beside a
creature. The creature must make a Reflex save to avoid the column, moving to the nearest square adjacent to it of
its choice. The column has a maximum diameter of 5 ft., but can be widened by another 5 ft by increasing the
Earthbending DC by +5. The column’s maximum height is 10 ft, plus another 5 ft for every 4 points by which the
Earthbending check exceeds the DC. If the column slams a creature against a solid surface, the target takes 4d6
crushing damage and is pinned between the solid surface and the column, but can escape with a DC 30 strength
check or Escape Artist check.

Tilt
Base DC: 10
A useful and powerful seed to know within the confines of a city of worked stone, it is difficult to make use of this
among natural earth.
• Unbalance: By shifting the angle of a level surface, an earthbender can throw enemies off balance and make them
easy targets or simply make an area difficult to enter as a standard action. Those caught on the slab must make a
Reflex save or fall to the base of the slab, and movement on the slab requires a Balance check with the same DC as
the Reflex save to move at half speed. Failing the Balance check by 5 or more indicates that the creature falls to the
base of the slab. An earthbender can affect one 5 ft square of worked stone about 1 foot thick, plus one more 5-foot
square for every 2 points by which the Earthbending check beats the DC. The earthbender can choose to continue
focusing on the slab with a standard action every turn to keep the slab in place, but it will fall naturally into place
once released. Using this form with earth or unworked stone first requires that the area affected be separated from
the surrounding earth through the use of Move a Rock.
• Twist: By twisting a section of stone a full 90 degrees, an earthbender can effectively make an unstable wall of
stone to block an opponent’s path. This works on an area of worked stone as above, but the wall can balances on its
own and can be pushed over with a DC 15 Strength check or by using Move a Rock, dealing damage according to its
height as falling damage. The squares being tilted need not be touching each other.

Armor
Base DC: 15
The element of earth is known for substance and its powers of protection, and can be used as a solid barrier against
harm.
• Earthen Armor: By covering her entire body in a thick layer of liquid earth, an earthbender gains DR 5/piercing,
and +2 to AC (including touch AC) as a move action. For every 3 points by which the earthbender exceeds the base
DC, the damage reduction increases by 1. Maintaining the earthen armor for more than two rounds gives a -4
penalty to all Earthbending checks until the earthbender ends the seed, increasing by -1 every two turns. If this
penalty actually makes the difference that causes an earthbender to fail a Earthbending check, she may choose to end
the seed and remove the penalty at that time. An earthbender can concentrate on maintaining this seed as a Swift
action.
• Stone Armor: The earthbender may also choose to fashion actual solid armor from stone molded around her body
as a full-round action. The earthbender may fashion any type of armor she is familiar with, and it has all the
properties of that armor type, except those based on the armor’s material. Adding spikes to the armor increases the
Earthbending DC by +4.

Tremorsense
Base DC: Varies
There are few earthbenders that have ever discovered this profound application of their art: the ability to sense that
which the solid earth sees.
• Tremorsense (DC 15): An earthbender using this form can take a move action to listen and feel the minute
movements of the ground. She automatically pinpoints the location of anything within a 10 ft radius that is in
contact with the ground, including underground, plus 5 feet for 2 points by which the Earthbending check exceeds
the DC. The range of this tremorsense is halved when the Earthbender is standing on sand or similarly loose soil. An
earthbender cannot use this ability when not in contact with the ground in some way (i.e. while flying, swimming,
standing on ice on a lake, etc.). The earthbender can use this form as a swift action, but doing so increases the
Earthbending DC by +10, or she can choose to continue focusing on this form as a full-round action for as many
turns as she wishes, sensing anything new that comes into the area.
• Lie Detector (DC 30): By concentrating on the minute vibrations a person’s body sends through the earth, an
Earthbender can tell if a person’s words are true or false. The Earthbender must be within 10 feet of the target and
the two must be connected by a contiguous area of earth or stone. The target of this seed can make a Will save to lie
undetected, gaining a +1 bonus to this save for every 5 ranks the target has invested in the Bluff skill. For every 5 by
which the Earthbender’s skill check exceeds the base DC, the distance at which she can detect lies increases by 5
feet.

Steady Stance
Base DC: 15
By encasing her feet in earth or stone, an earthbender can better resist attempts to move her, or trap opponents in
place.
• Defensive: Stabilizing herself with feet solidly connected to the ground, a earthbender gains a +2 to saves or
checks to stay in place, +1 for every point by which the Earthbending check exceeds the DC. The earthbender may
also encase the feet of allies within her bending range in this way by adding +4 to the DC per ally. Those affected by
this seed can move from their square if they want, but doing so ends the seed.
• Offensive: By surrounding an enemy’s feet in earth and solidifying it suddenly, an earthbender may prevent an
enemy from advancing. The target of this seed makes a Reflex save to avoid it altogether, or remain trapped in
place. Those who failed the Reflex save can make a Strength check equal to three fourths (.75) of the Earthbending
check to break free, or may spend a full-round action chipping the ice away with a light weapon. The earthbender
may use this seed against multiple opponents, but doing so adds +4 to the Earthbending DC per additional opponent.

Create Rubble
Base DC: 15
By cracking and tumbling stone beneath opponents, an earthbender can seek to hamper their movement and make
them easier to hit.
• Difficult terrain: By using this seed, an earthbender turns an earthen surface into heavy terrain in an area with a
radius of 5 feet. Anyone caught in the radius during this seed takes 2d6 bludgeoning damage if they fail a Reflex
save as the ground turns and buckles beneath them. It costs 2 squares of movement to enter a square with dense
rubble. The Balance and Tumble checks on dense rubble take a -5 penalty, and Move Silently checks take -2. The
radius of the rubble increases by 5 ft for every 5 points by which the Earthbending check exceeds the DC.
• Misstep: True to the teachings of neutral jing, an earthbender can wait and prepare an action to use this seed
against a particular opponent. The earthbender focuses on her opponent’s movement, following its footsteps, ready
to act. If the opponent moves more than 5 ft along the grand, the earthbender may wrench the ground violently
beneath her, dealing 2d6 points of damage and immediately stopping the opponent’s movement on a failed Reflex
save. If the save is failed by 5 or more points, the opponent is also knocked prone. By adding +10 to the
Earthbending DC, the earthbender can also attempt to twist her opponent’s ankle with this seed; doing so requires
the opponent to make a Fortitude save if it fails its Reflex save. Failing the fortitude save imposes a -2 penalty to
Dexterity and -10 feet to base land speed. This seed makes the affected square difficult terrain, as above.

Compact
Base DC: 15
Unusually loose or soft earth or sand poses a serious problem for earthbenders, since it hinders their ability to use
the earth around them.
• A place to stand: An earthbender may use this form to fuse any loose soil or sand into a much sturdier surface. An
earthbender may create one 5-foot square, plus another for every 2 points by which the Earthbending check beats the
DC. These squares must all be touching at least one other square and at least one must touch the Earthbender. This
negates the penalties for standing on loose dirt and the movement penalties for rough ground, as well as those for
using the Tremorsense seed.
• Soften earth: Earth’s abilities to hamper opponents are often just as valuable as those to directly attack or defend.
By using this seed, wet earth becomes thick mud and dry earth becomes loose sand or dirt. The earthbender affects a
5-foot square, plus another for every 2 points by which the Earthbending check beats the DC to a depth of 1 to 4
feet, depending on the toughness or resilience of the ground at that spot. Earth or stone creatures are not affected. A
creature in mud must succeed on a Reflex save or be caught for 1d2 rounds and unable to move, attack, or cast
spells. A creature that succeeds on its save can move through the mud at half speed, and it can’t run or charge. Loose
dirt is not as troublesome as mud, but all creatures in the area can move at only half their normal speed and can’t run
or charge over the surface.
• Soften Landing: Similar to Soften Earth, this use of the seed allows a falling earthbender to soften the ground
below her before she lands as an immediate action once per round, taking damage as if she had fallen half the actual
distance.

Golem
Base DC: 15
By molding a large chunk of rock into a vaguely human-shaped structure, an earthbender can create a powerful
proxy to fight in her place.
• Creation and control: As a full round action, an earthbender can create a golem that she can direct in combat. The
golem is a Medium animated object composed of stone and compacted earth. The earthbender must direct its actions
in combat by making an Earthbending check equal to the original Earthbending DC as a full-round action, with the
golem essentially mimicking the actions taken by the earthbender. If the earthbender does not concentrate on
maintaining and directing the golem or fails the Earthbending check to control it, the golem collapses. The golem's
attack rolls use the earthbender’s base attack bonus and are modified by the earthbender's Wisdom modifier instead
of the golem's Strength modifier. An earthbender can control a golem she can't see, but the golem is considered
blind. Additionally, the earthbender cannot see through the golem, and thus is limited to the vision range of her
current location.
• Attacks: Because the golem is essentially a reflection of its bender’s actions, it can use its slam attack at the same
rate as the bender’s unarmed strikes, along with whatever extra modifiers gained therein (Weapon Focus, etc.).
• Size: The earthbender can increase the size of the golem by adding 5 to the DC for every size increase desired,
creating an animated object of the appropriate size. For example, increasing the DC to 35 allows the earthbender to
create a Gargantuan golem.
• Hardness: An earthbender with the Compact seed can increase the hardness of her golem by adding +2 to the
Earthbending DC for every 1 point of hardness she wishes to add.
• Enhancement: An earthbender can increase the golem’s physical ability scores by adding 2 to the DC for every +1
to a single score. The earthbender cannot increase the golem’s ability scores by an amount greater than her Wisdom
modifier. An earthbender with a Wisdom modifier of +5 could increase the golem’s Strength or Dexterity (or both
with a high enough Earthbending check) scores by a maximum of 5, increasing the Earthbending DC by 10 in the
process.

Earthen Stride
Base DC: 20
By lifting the ground under your feets into two mounds of soil or a huge rock, you gain considerable speed and
inertia, changing into an unstoppable juggernaut.
• Running Snail: By shaping crude hemisphere of soil or mud around you feets and moving these swirly ''stilts'' like
snails, or by sculpting yourself a stone tower as a full-round action, travelling is not bothersome anymore, nor
enemy troops. You may now only move at your running speed, and the benefits of the Run feat, plus one time the
normal speed bonus per 5 points you beat the DC.You may make overun attempts normally, and if you add +5 the
DC of this seed, opponents may not try to avoid you. Your bulk and the earth you displace means you are one size
larger than before, and you gain an additional bonus equal to +1 per 5 points of your check. You may use forced
march while running, but must make constitution checks normally, to which you gain a bonus equal to +1 per 5
points of your check. You only have to do one check per hour to maintain the seed.
• Earth Jump: Using this seed, an Earthbender can transport herself through the earth to any point within 25 feet.
The Earthbender’s starting and ending points must be connected by a contiguous area of earth or stone at least 5 feet
thick at all points. For every 5 by which the Earthbender’s skill check exceeds the base DC, the distance she can
travel increases by 5 feet. Additionally, by increasing the base DC by 20, an Earthbender can use this seed as a
Move action.

Catapult
Base DC: 20
Earthbenders are often the least mobile of the elements; preferring a solid stance to a quick dodge. This, however, is
not always the case.
• Transport: By using this seed, an earthbender thrusts a small column of earth and stone powerfully up from below
her at any angle she wishes as a move action, launching herself or another creature or object 20 ft in any direction
(including straight up). This distance can be increased by 5 ft for every 2 points by which the Earthbending check
exceeds the DC, and affecting an additional target adds +4 to the DC per target. The height of the creature’s
trajectory at its peak is half the horizontal distance (unless, of course, there is no horizontal distance covered), and
the height can be doubled by halving the distance.
• Knockback: An earthbender can also use this seed as a way to launch opponents away or into other obstacles. The

form works just as above, except that it is a standard action, the target receives a reflex save to avoid it, and if this
seed throws an opponent into a solid obstacle (a cliff wall, a tree, etc.) the target takes 1d6 damage for every 5 points
of the Earthbending check.

Excavate
Base DC: 20
Oftentimes, the ability to Move a Rock simply isn’t enough to make a proper tunnel or trench. Using this seed
pushes earth aside, as opposed to taking it and dumping it elsewhere.
• Hole: This seed can make a hole approximately the shape of a 5-foot cube as a standard action, plus another such
cube for every 4 points by which the Earthbending check beats the DC. The earth used in this seed is piled around
the edges of the excavation, adding a loose wall of earth three feet high around the sides. Making a hole in solid
stone doubles the Earthbending DC.
• Tunnel By digging directly into the earth, in which case she begins by making a hole (as above) and then making it
deeper, or making it horizontal beneath the ground. The earth moved aside by this seed is compacted around the
sides of the excavation, making a noticeable bulge in the ground if the tunnel is within 5 ft of the surface. Tunneling
through stone doubles the Earthbending DC, and an earthbender can choose to collapse the tunnel through the use of
Move a Rock.

Earthquake
Base DC: Varies
An earthbender can send a jarring shockwave of earth along the ground, knocking opponents to the floor.
• Tremor (Base DC 20): By creating a quick, local tremor to violently shake the ground below, an earthbender can
knocks opponents to the ground and hampers their movement. An earthbender creates an earthquake in a five-foot
radius. All creatures within the area of effect must succeed on Balance check opposed by the bender’s Earthbending
check -5 or fall prone. The radius increases by 5 feet for every 5 points by which the Earthbending check beats the
DC. Using this seed also dislodges loose soul and rocks on slopes, possibly causing avalanches in appropriate areas.
Creatures climbing within a quake must make a Climb equal to the Climb DC of the surface they’re on + half the
bender’s Earthbending check.
• Quake (Base DC 20): By using a full-round action when using a tremor, as above, an earthbender can create a
quake that lasts as long as she focuses on it. Doing this forces anyone in the affected area to make a Balance check
(as above) in order to enter or move within the affected radius or fall prone. Furthermore, each square of movement
through the affected area counts as 2 squares.
• Ripple (Base DC 30): By creating a sort of wave along the ground before her, an earthbender can cause opponents
to lose their balance and be launched into the air. The wave takes effect in a cone up to the earthbender’s bending
range. Opponents within the cone must succeed on a Reflex save or be knocked 5 feet into the air or 5 being shoved
5 feet backwards (bender’s choice) for every 10 points of the Earthbending check, taking falling damage if
appropriate.

Immobilize
Base DC: Varies
Stomping the ground aggressively, the earthbender causes packed clay or stone to burst upwards, trapping the target
creature.
• Applications: Sheets of crystal, stone, or packed clay burst from the ground and wrap around a single medium-
sized or smaller target within the earthbender’s bending range. The target must make a Reflex save or be
immobilized. An immobilized target may not move, attack, bend, or take any action that requires movement, but is
not considered helpless. Those who fail the Reflex save can make a Strength check or Escape Artist check as a full-
round action to break free. They can also be dug out by dealing 50 points of damage to the earth. Increasing the
earthbending DC by +5 for each size category above medium allows an earthbender can capture larger creatures. An
earthbender may capture 1 additional creature for every 10 by which her earthbending check exceeds the DC.

Metalbending (template)
Base DC: Varies
Everything on the planet is an extension of the four elements, including smelted metals. A fundamental secret of the
elements, powerful earthbenders have control over even purified steel.
• Applying (Base DC 35): An earthbender may use Move a Rock with metal rather than earth by adding +35 to the

Earthbending DC. However, the earthbender must be in physical contact with the metal at all times. For example, an
earthbender can pick up a 5-foot cube of iron with one hand as a standard action, and move with it as far as she
could use Move a Rock to with a move action.
• Warp (Base DC 35): An earthbender can cause metal to bend and warp with a touch, permanently destroying its
straightness, form, and strength. A warped door springs open (or becomes stuck, requiring a Strength check to open,
at the bender’s option). A boat or ship springs a leak. Warped ranged weapons are useless. Warping a worn or
wielded item requires an attack roll, as if making a sunder attempt. A warped melee weapon causes a -4 penalty on
attack rolls. The earthbender may warp one Small or smaller object, with each size category increasing the Bending
DC by +5. Alternatively, the earthbender can unwarp metal (effectively warping it back to normal) with this seed,
straightening metal that has been warped by this seed or by other means.
• Crush (Base DC 45): An earthbender can constrict the armor of an opponent with a mere touch, crushing him like
a grape inside. An earthbender makes a touch attack against an opponent to hit his armor. If the attack is successful,
the bender makes an earthbending check. A successful Earthbending check crumples metal armor like paper, dealing
5d6 piercing and 5d6 bludgeoning damage to the wearer and leaving the armor useless. Armor crushed in this way
lowers its armor bonus by -4, incurs double its usual armor check penalty (minimum -4), halves the maximum
Dexterity bonus (rounded down) and lowers the maximum speed by -5 feet.

Rift
Base DC: 35
By opening a fissure directly beneath an opponent’s feet and snapping it suddenly shut around his chest, an
earthbender can disable powerful opponents before they become a threat.
• Engulf: An earthbender opens a large crack directly beneath her opponent’s feet, causing him to fall in, then snaps
the crevice shut around him. The target receives a Reflex save to avoid falling into the fissure up to his neck. A
target of this form is considered helpless while engulfed, though he may take any actions not requiring somatic
components and can escape with a DC 25 Strength or a DC 40 Escape Artist check, or he may be dug out of his
predicament. If this seed is done on a stone surface, the target also takes 4d6 crushing damage on a failed save.

Firebender
Quick, chaotic, and destructive, Firebending is a difficult art that only the most dedicated are able to master.
Firebenders are always of the offensive, overwhelming their foes with barrage after barrage of fiery kicks, jabs, and
sweeps.

Adventures – Often, Firebenders serve as part of military detachments and adventure under the orders of their
superior officers or on their own initiative, seeking to advance the interests of the Fire Nation. Alternatively, they
may travel on more personal quests, seeking to regain lost honor or improve their standing within the Fire Nation
political hierarchy. Still others adventure to prove and increase their power and command of their destructive art.

Characteristics – Firebenders are fast, powerful, and aggressive. Lacking the potent defensive moves of the other
bending disciplines, Firebenders seek to strike quick and hard, defeating their opponent before defense is necessary.
They use a variety of attacks to project their fire, with quick hand jabs and punches resulting in short bursts of fire
while sweeping kicks create arcs of flame. Some of the most powerful Firebenders are able to create walls of fire, or
generate blue fire or
electricity, the most powerful forms of the Firebending art.

Alignment – Master Firebenders, like all other benders, show a high degree of discipline and self control, though
like their unpredictable medium, they can lose control of their emotions. They can be of any alignment, and can
undergo alignment shifts as their beliefs change.

Religion – While the extent of Firebender spirituality is unknown, it is commonly thought that Firebenders revere
the sun as the source of their powers. It is also thought that some Firebenders revere past Avatars from the Fire
Nation. Many Firebenders are stubbornly individualistic and do not profess any strong religious beliefs.

Background – Many Firebenders receive their training through the military, becoming soldiers in the Fire Nation
army. Others seek out individual masters or train at temples dedicated to the art.

Races – All Firebenders (with the exception of the Avatar, who is able to master all four elements) are members of
the group known as the Fire Nation.

Other Classes – Of all the other bending disciplines, Firebenders are the most individualistic and the least likely to
work well with other benders. That said, they can benefit from working with Airbenders or Waterbenders, who can
provide some defensive capabilities to augment the Firebenders’ offensive bent. They also work well with the
martial classes, often serving amongst them in the Fire Nation army.

Abilities – Wisdom is the most important ability for Firebenders, as it governs the save DC’s for some of their best
abilities. Dexterity is also important as it provides a boost to Armor Class and increases their ability to hit with their
Fire Blasts, as is Constitution, which provides needed hit points for a class that often enters combat.

Alignment – Any.

Class Abilities
Weapon and Armor Proficiency – A firebender is proficient with all simple weapons, short swords, longswords,
glaives and light armor.

Improved Unarmed Strike – A firebender gains Improved Unarmed Strike as a bonus feat at third level.

Child of the Sun - Firebenders draw much of their power from the sun, the ultimate source of fire. During the day,
firebenders gain a +2 circumstance bonus on Firebending checks due to the influence of the sun. Additionally,
during the passage of a comet near the planet, Firebenders gain an additional +5 circumstance bonus to Firebending
checks. However, the close link between the sun and firebending has its drawbacks. During a solar eclipse,
firebenders are unable to use any firebending abilities.

Fire Blast
Base DC: 5
The first ability a Firebender learns is Fire Blast. The Firebender generates fire using the heat inside his body and
propels it at great speeds toward his foe using a quick jab with his fist. A blast deals 1d6 damage at 1st level (dealing
no damage to non-flammable objects and half damage to flammable objects) and increases in power as the
firebender gains levels, as shown above. A blast is a ranged attack, and a firebender can use a number of blasts in
one round equal to the number of iterative attacks he can make (as determined by his BAB). A firebender cannot
apply precision-based damage from any source to the damage dealt by his blasts. In addition to using his Fire Blasts
to attack from range, a firebender can channel his blasts through his unarmed strike, dealing Fire Blast damage in
addition to unarmed strike damage for each blow. A firebender must make a successful melee attack in order to
channel his Fire Blast.

Deflect Attack
Base DC: 5

initial Deflect Bending attempt counts as an immediate action. Because of fire's insubstantial nature and offensive
outlook, Firebenders take a -4 penalty on this opposed attack roll.



For example, a 15th level firebender’s Base Attack Bonus allows her to make 3 iterative attacks. If she decides to

Play with Fire
Base DC: 5
A firebender learns to finely manipulate fire. He gains the ability to draw fire from any source (including the
Firebender’s own body heat) within his bending range, alter its basic shape, move it around at a rate of 5 feet/round,
and hold it in his hands. Firebenders can warm their tea, create balls of fire to act as torches, or start campfires using
this ability. Moving the fire an additional 5 feet adds +2 to the Firebending DC. Fire moved using this seed deals
damage per round depending on its source; for example, natural fire deals 1d6 damage, and fire produced by the
firebender’s body deals damage equal to his Fire Blast.

Endure Elements - Beginning at 5th level, a firebender learns to harness his internal heat as protection from
extreme temperatures. A firebender can exist comfortably in conditions between 0 and 100 degrees Farenheit
without having to make Fortitude saves. Additionally, a firebender gains a +4 bonus on saves to resist the effects of
weather, but not fire or cold damage from any other source.

Firestorm – Of all the bending disciplines, firebending is the most offensive, truly embodying the belief that the
best defense is a good offense. Beginning at 6th level, whenever a firebender spends a full round attacking, he may
make an extra attack at his highest base attack bonus. The extra attack may not be used in a Deflect Bending
attempt, and the firebender must make at least two Fire Blasts in a turn in order to use this ability. When using a
Firestorm, the firebender takes a -2 penalty to all attacks made that round.

Firebending Seeds
Note: All firebending abilities set fire to combustibles and damage objects they affect. Natural fire deals 1d6
points of fire damage per round. A creature who catches on fire can make a DC 15 Reflex save each round to
extinguish the fire. Dousing the fire with water or smothering it automatically extinguishes the fire.

Fire Kick (Template)
Base DC: 5
By using a series of quick kicks to propel his Fire Blast, a firebender can greatly increase the range of his abilities.
• Applications: Applying this seed to a Fire Blast doubles the firebenders effective bending range for the purpose of
that Fire Blast. Note that this template cannot be applied to any form that cannot be performed with the feet (such as
by applying another template involving a body part or when stuck in a waterbender’s Steady Stance).

Fire Whip
Base DC: 10
• Whip: A firebender may, as a move action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity, form a long, narrow
tongue of fire, coiling around like a rope. This whip has all the statistics of a normal whip with the exception that the
damage it deals 1d6 fire damage. Additionally, a firebender may apply precision-based damage to attacks with a fire
whip and treat it as a normal whip for purposes of weapon-based feats. The fire in this whip can be used to use
Deflect Bending without needing to be remade and the whip can also be extended an additional 5 feet by increasing
the Firebending DC by +10.

Explosion (Template)
Base DC: 10
Rather than simply burning her opponents to a crisp, firebenders often seek to earn a strategic advantage in
positioning.
• Repel: The firebender makes a sudden explosion at the end of his hands, pushing opponents back with the force of
the attack. Through this application, a firebender may initiate a bull rush through his Fire Blast, with the bender’s
Wisdom score acting as the blast’s Strength score. The explosion also deals on damage die of the firebender’s Blast
for every 4 points by which the Firebending check beats the DC. Also, for every 2 points by which the Firebending
check beats the DC, the bender gains a +1 on the bull rush attempt. If the blast moves the opponent back more than
ten feet, the opponent is also knocked prone.
• Applications: By turning her fire into a forceful explosion, a firebender can deal full damage to even non-
flammable objects when using Fire Blast, and deals double damage to flammable objects. Applying this template
adds +10 to the Firebending DC.

Blades of Fire
Base DC: 10
The Fire Nation is notorious for its soldiers and their capabilities with both martial weapons and the martial use of
fire. Their combinations of both are often devastating to the enemy.
• Channel: A Firebender is able to channel his internal heat into any melee weapon he wields as a move action. The
Firebender may make a single attack with a melee weapon and have that attack deal Fire Blast damage in addition to
the weapon damage. Unlike normal Fire Blasts, this form allows the Firebender to apply precision-based damage to
his attack. A firebender can choose to maintain the flames around his weapon by spending a swift action every turn
to continue dealing Fire Blast damage with the weapon. A firebender can apply this seed with two weapons at a time
by adding +15 to the Firebending DC.
• Create: Alternatively, a Firebender can use this seed to create a weapon completely out of fire. This weapon deals
no damage of its own, but rather deals the firebender’s Fire Blast damage, but also allows the firebender to apply
weapon-based feats and precision damage.

Intensity
Base DC: 10

• Intensify: Oftentimes, from a firebender’s point of view, a fire is simply not hot enough. By focusing on an already
existing source of fire as a standard action, a firebender can increase the damage it deals by 1d6, plus an additional
1d6 for every 4 points by which the Firebending check exceeds the DC, up to the firebender’s Blast damage.
• Quench: A little-used form among most firebenders, a firebender can prepare an action to negate a single Fire Blast
passing within 10 feet of him. Quenching blasts further away than 10 feet is possible, but the Firebending DC
increases by +2 for every 5 feet further away the blast is.

Burning Rush
Base DC: 10
The speed and tenacity of the element of a true firebender are seldom seen, simply because such power is the last
thing most opponents see.
• Speed Burst: By expelling flames from the soles of his feet, a firebender thrusts himself forward recklessly. The
bender increases his base land speed by 5 feet, plus another 5 feet for every 5 points by which the bending check
exceeds the DC. This use of the seed is a swift action to execute and a free action to maintain, though the bender can
only safely maintain it for a number of rounds equal to his firebender level, and the Firebending DC increases by 5
for every round thereafter.
• Firebender's Leap: A sudden jet of flames erupts from the bender's legs, allowing him to reach incredible heights.
By taking a full-round action to make a jump, a firebender gains a bonus on his Jump equal to his Firebending
check, and the jump is not limited by the firebender's height. A move action can be taken as part of this seed, but
only in order to gain a running start for the jump.

Fire Sweep
Base DC: 15
When using this seed, a firebender uses a high, aggressive spinning kick to create a 15-foot cone of fire, affecting all
creatures and objects therein with his Fire Blast damage. Creatures within this area take half damage on a successful
Reflex Save. The range of the cone is increased by 5 feet for every 5 points by which the Firebending check exceeds
the DC.

Fire in the Stomach
Base DC: 15
Firebending is all about breath control; applying this properly allows a firebender incredible resilience to harsh outer
cold.
• As a full-round action that doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunity, a firebender can take a deep breath and hold it
for a number of rounds equal to 5 times his Constitution score. While holding his breath this way, a firebender
maintains his body temperature at normal levels and is immune to nonlethal damage by exposure to cold
environments. After letting out his breath, a firebender cannot use this seed for at least five minutes. For every point
by which the Firebending check exceeds the DC, the firebender holds his breath one additional round.

Incandesce
Base DC: Varies
• Heat Metal (Base DC Varies): By focusing upon a piece of metal every round on a piece of metal within his
bending range, a firebender can cause damage upon contact. On the first round this seed is used, the metal becomes
warm and uncomfortable to touch but deals no damage. During the second round, intense heat causes 1d4 damage
and in subsequent rounds, the metal is searing hot, dealing 2d4 damage. Any cold intense enough to damage the
creature negates fire damage from this seed (and vice versa) on a point-for-point basis. Using this seed on
unattended metal or one’s own equipment has a base Firebending DC of 15 and requires a swift action every round,
and affecting another’s equipment has a base Firebending DC of 30 and requires a move action every turn. This
form can also be used to deal damage to ice, in which case the damage dice increase to d6's.
• Melt Stone (Base DC 35): Often used by canny Fire Nation soldiers in the mountains to discourage enemy forces, a
firebender can heat up stone to the point of melting into liquid lava. A firebender can affect one 5-foot cube of stone
as the Heat Metal use of this seed, above. Once the stone cube has taken 20 damage from the use of this seed
(ignoring hardness), it begins to melt, dealing damage as lava. A firebender can affect one additional 5-foot cube of
stone for every 5 points by which the Firebending check exceeds the DC.

Break Stance (Template)
Base DC: +20

• Applications: By adding +20 to the Firebending DC of a Fire Blast, a bender can attempt to take out the root of an
opposing bender’s stance. The bender takes -4 to attack rolls on these blasts; and if at least two of the blasts are
successful, the opponent’s stance is broken (essentially making him flat-footed), he’s pushed back 5 feet and he
must make a Reflex save or lost his next turn as he reels back. Any successive hits from this form, including on the
bender’s next turn if the opponent failed his Reflex save, make the opponent move an additional 5 feet backwards;
once the opponent has been knocked back 15 consecutive feet, he falls prone.

Breath of the Dragon (Template)
Base DC: +25
• Applications: By adding +20 to a Firebending DC, a firebender can do any form without using somatic
components and without provoking attacks of opportunity, as long as the bender’s mouth or nose is free and not
gagged or otherwise hindered from opening. The form is performed as a stream of fire from the bender’s mouth, a
burst of steam from the bender’s nose that makes metal red-hot, or any other appropriate description.

Fire Burst
Base DC: 25
By, quite simply, lighting himself up like a torch, a firebender can ignite everything around him in a conflagrant
display.
• Whirlwind: Using this seed, a firebender creates a whirlwind of fire surrounding him, extending a 5-foot radius
around him. All creatures and objects in the area are affected by the firebender’s Fire Blast damage. Creatures
within the area take half damage on a successful Reflex save, and the radius of the area affected by this seed is
increase by 5 feet for every 5 point by which the Firebending check exceeds the DC. A firebender can choose to
maintain this seed by taking a full-round action every turn, dealing the appropriate damage within the area each turn.
Maintaining the form for more than two turns inflicts a cumulative -2 penalty to the original Firebending check
every turn, slowly shrinking the size of the form until it stops working.

Wall of Fire
Base DC: 25
A firebender learns to make an immobile, blazing curtain of shimmering fire springs into existence, discouraging
others from passing through an area.
• Plane: The wall sends forth waves of heat, dealing 2d4 points of fire damage to creatures within 10 feet and 1d4
points of fire damage to those past 10 feet but within 20 feet. The wall deals this damage when it appears and on the
bender’s turn each round to all creatures in the area. In addition, the wall deals 2d6 points of fire to any creature
passing through it. The wall is a 10-foot square, but can be made 5 feet wider for every 4 points by which the
Firebending check exceeds the DC, and the height can be doubled by halving the width. If the wall is made so that it
appears where creatures are, each creature takes damage as if passing through the wall. If any 5-foot length of wall
takes 20 points of cold damage or more in 1 round, that length goes out (Note: Do not divide cold damage by 4, as
normal for objects). A Wall of Fire can be maintained with a Concentration check each round equal to the
Firebending check -5.
• Ring: Essentially the same as above, except that the wall is made in the form of a 20-foot-tall ring of fire with a
radius of 10 feet, plus another 5 feet for every 4 points by which Firebending check exceeds the DC.

Blue Fire (Template)
Base DC: 20
Instead of the normal reds, yellows, and oranges associated with conventional firebending, the fire produced by this
seed glows blue and is exceptionally hot.
• Applications: Damage dice for firebending forms using this seed increase by one step (for example, from d6 to d8,
or d4 to d6). Additionally, blue fire deals full damage to objects.

Flamethrower
Base DC: 35
Truly, the paragon of the stereotypical firebender, this seed channels the internal heat of a bender through the palm
of his hands to create a huge outpouring of flames.
• Using this seed, a firebender affects all creatures or objects in a line with his Fire Blast damage. Creatures caught
within the line take half damage on a successful Reflex save.

Lightning
Base DC: Varies
As all masters of the bending disciplines must understand, all things are made up of the four elements, and the
power of the mighty lightning bolt can be harnessed by a firebender with sufficient inner balance.
• Cold fire (Base DC 45): Creating a bolt of lightning involves separating the positive and negative energies of the
element of fire, releasing a huge amount of power as they join suddenly together again. When using this seed, a
firebender takes a full-round action doing a complicated series of motions to separate the two energies, provoking
attacks of opportunity as normal. On his following turn, as a standard action, the firebender releases the contained
energy in the form of a lightning bolt dealing 1d6 electricity damage per firebender level to a single target.
Additionally, lightning generated by this seed is empowered, dealing half again (1.5 times) the amount of damage
presented by the dice. This seed deals normal damage to objects.

Waterbender
Adventures - Waterbenders adventure most frequently to aid the tribe, be it to defend against an enemy, gain access
to a crucial resource, or provide aid to an ally of the tribe. Also, Waterbenders in small communities may adventure
to seek out a master to instruct them in their art.

Characteristics - Waterbenders are able to manipulate water, giving it shape, moving it with great speed and power,
or changing its phase from water to ice or vapor (and vice versa). They focus on the defense, turning their
opponent's blows against them, blocking them with gushing watery shields, or immobilizing their opponents in ice.
Select waterbenders can also heal wounds, using water as a medium through which to align the chi and promote
healing.

Alignment - Waterbenders emphasize the defense and try to avoid injuring even their foes. Thus, waterbenders tend
toward good. Also, most waterbenders are concerned with their community above all else, eschewing both the
wandering lifestyle and the disciplined life of an ascetic or monk. They tend to be neutral instead of lawful or
chaotic.

Religion - Waterbenders draw their power from the Moon and venerate the Moon Spirit above all others. Their
power waxes in the moonlight and wanes during the day. Also, many members of the Water Tribe revere the Ocean
Spirit as the source of life for their people.

Background - Most waterbenders train under a master. In the Northern Water Tribe, there are large group lessons
under the tutelage of a single master. In the Southern and Foggy Swamp Water Tribes where waterbenders are fewer
in number, waterbenders tend to learn one-on-one from a single master.

Races - All waterbenders (with the exception of the Avatar, who is able to master all four elements) are members of
the group known as the Water Tribe, located at the north and south poles and in the Foggy Swamp.

Other Classes - Waterbenders share their defensive focus and high agility with the airbenders. However, they are
less at odds with the more solid and unmoving style of the earthbenders, though they prefer to redirect their
opponents' attacks instead of overwhelming them. They dislike the unceasing aggression of the firebenders, but can
work with them if the need presents itself. They are also capable of working with the more martial classes, using
their defensive skills to assist the warriors in battle.

Abilities - Wisdom is important to waterbenders, as it determines the Save DC's and durations of some of their
waterbending Seeds. Waterbenders' emphasis on reflexes means that they also benefit from high Dexterity, which
helps them turn their enemies' attacks and provides a boost to AC.

Alignment – Any (tending towards good and neutrality)

Class Features
Weapon and Armor Proficiency – A waterbender is proficient with all simple weapons, and light armor.

Improved Unarmed Strike - A waterbender gains Improved Unarmed Strike as bonus feat at third level.

Child of the Moon - Waterbenders draw much of their power from the moon. During the night, waterbenders gain
a +2 circumstance bonus on Waterbending checks due to the influence of the moon. Additionally, during a full
moon, Waterbenders gain an additional +5 circumstance bonus to Waterbending checks. However, the close link
between the moon and Waterbending has its drawbacks. During a lunar eclipse, waterbenders are unable to use any
waterbending abilities.
Water Blast
Base DC: 5
The first offensive ability a waterbender learns is to concentrate water into a large bubble in her hands and blast it at
great speeds towards her foe. A blast deals 1d6 bludgeoning damage at 1st level (half damage to objects) and
increases in power as the waterbender gains levels, as shown above. A blast is a ranged attack, and a waterbender
can use a number of blasts in one round equal to the number of iterative attacks she can make (as determined by her
BAB). A waterbender cannot apply precision-based damage from any source to the damage dealt by her blasts. A
waterbender can only use blasts when there is a source of open water within her bending range. A waterbender does
not requires a line of sight to the target of the blast, and as such can maneuver the blast around a corner or other
cover by adding +10 to the Waterbending DC, but still suffers penalties for concealment, as appropriate. Using a
Water Blast takes at least one pint of water (one eighth that contained within the average waterskin.

Deflect Attack
Base DC: 5



For example, a 15th level waterbender’s Base Attack Bonus allows her to make 3 iterative attacks. If she decides to

Manipulate
Base DC: 5
The most basic of the waterbending seeds, manipulation involves simple movement or shaping of the three seeds of
water (liquid, ice, mist).
Movement: The base DC is for moving a 5-foot cube of water up to 5 ft/round in any direction. Adding another 5-
foot cube of water to a seed increases the Waterbending DC by +4 per cube, and moving the water an additional 5
feet adds +2 to the DC. This use of the seed is a move action. A waterbender can manipulate water she can't see but
knows is there by adding +10 to the Waterbending DC.
Shaping: This seed can also be used to manipulate the basic shape of water or ice (not mist), though it does not allow
intricate detail. For example, creating an sculpture of a humanoid is possible, but making one of a specific person is
not, and the sculpture comes out rough and bumpy; creating a sculpture of a specific race is also difficult, but telltale
features (like an elf’s ears) could give it away. The base DC is for manipulating the shape of a Diminutive mass of
water or ice; the save DC increases by +5 for every size category larger than Diminutive the sculpture is, and this
changes to +10 for every size category larger than Large it is. This use of the seed takes one full-round action, plus
two more for every size category larger than Diminutive the sculpture is. Shaping ice is essentially cutting away
chunks from a block of ice, while shaping water is actually altering its shape.

Freeze/Melt
Base DC: 5
Another basic seed, this includes the ability to change the temperature and state of water.
Chill: A waterbender may lower the temperature of one 5-foot cube of liquid water to make it icy cold as a standard
action. By doing this to the source, water used in any other seed can deal an additional 1d4 cold. This seed can even
be used to make ice so cold it burns. Each additional five-foot cube adds +4 to the Waterbending DC, changing
water already of an extreme temperature (a volcanic spring, for example) adds +5 to the DC, and decreasing the
bending time to a move action increases the DC by +15. Further increasing the bending time to a swift action
increases the base DC by +25.
Change Phase: A waterbender can also freeze or melt a 5-foot cube of water as a standard action that provokes
attacks of opportunity. Each additional 5-foot cube adds +4 to the Waterbending DC and going straight from ice to
vapor adds +10 to the DC, decreasing the bending time to a move action increases the DC by +5, and decreasing the
bending time to a swift action adds +15 to the DC. For ease of reference, ice has hardness of 0 and 3 hit points per
inch of thickness.

Ski – Through development of her abilities, a waterbender can move over the surface of water as naturally as if on
land, or even more so. A waterbender can move on the surface of water, ice, or snow at the speed indicated on the
class table. The waterbender can use the run action while skiing, provided that she skis in a straight line.

Circular Attack: Beginning at 10th level, a waterbender can redirect her enemies’ attacks, using the enemy’s own
energy to retaliate against her. Once per round, when the waterbender successfully deflects a bending or ranged
attack she may make a Reflex Save opposed to the opponent’s attack roll. If the Waterbender matches or exceeds the
opponent’s attack roll, she is able to bring the deflecting water round in a circle, absorbing the enemy’s energy and
immediately making an additional Water Blast attack at that enemy at her full base attack bonus. The waterbender
cannot choose to forgo this attack in order to gain an additional Deflect Bending attempt.

Waterbending Forms: Most waterbending seeds require a significant amount of water (i.e., more than is contained
in the average water skin). As such, many seeds can only be done near a source of water or in an extremely humid
environment, such as a rainforest. Small quantities of water can also be drawn damp earth or other such surfaces
using the Manipulate special ability. Note that, in cases where a large source of water is needed, the water must be
wherever the form is actually taking place, and not at the bender herself. If there is no source of water within 5 feet
of the waterbender, a bending form must combine the form with the Manipulate seed to get it there. When using
Manipulate in this way, a bender need not add the usual +4 to the Waterbending DC for combining seeds.
Maintaining Water: Oftentimes, it can be vital for a waterbender to gauge the amount of water she uses, as she has a
limited amount. In order to maintain control of water used in a technique and not allow it to fall to the ground and
require a use of Manipulate to recover, a waterbender must make a Concentration check equal to the form's total
Waterbending DC – 10.

Waterbending Seeds
Note: Certain Waterbending seeds (or forms created by combining Waterbending seeds) are intended to immobilize
their target by encasing it in ice. In these circumstances, the target is rendered completely immobile, but not
helpless. Additionally, a creature encased in ice can break out using a Strength or Escape Artist check. The DC for
this check is 10 + half the waterbender's class level + the Waterbender's Wisdom modifier.

Mist
Base DC: 10
By breaking a small amount of water into tiny droplets and spreading them through the air, a waterbender learns to
make thick fog that obscures vision.
• Fog Cloud: A waterbender may make a hemisphere of fog anywhere within her bending range with a radius of 10
disperses the fog in 1 round. This seed does not function underwater. Increasing the radius of the cloud requires an
addition of +5 to the Waterbending DC per 5-foot increase.
• Figment: This seed creates the visual illusion of an object, creature, or force by shaping a cloud of fog into the
hazy seeds expected to be seen within it, as visualized by the waterbender. The illusion does not create sound, smell,
texture, or temperature. A waterbender may manipulate fog in this way in the same area as she can make a fog
cloud, and anyone within the cloud can make a Will save to disbelieve the figments.
• Applications: A waterbender with this seed can also make use of mist or vapor with the ManipulateFreeze/Melt
seeds. In the latter case, a waterbender can condense mist into water at the rate of one pint of water per 5-foot
square; but because of the cooling nature of water, a waterbender cannot boil or evaporate water in this way.

Water Whip
Base DC: 10
Arguably the signature weapon of waterbenders everywhere, the whip demonstrates the fundamentals of flexibility
that waterbending is based upon.
• Whip:A waterbender may, as a move action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity, shape a small quantity
of water (approximately the amount in a water skin) into a functional whip. This whip has all the statistics of a
normal whip with the exception that it can be used to deal lethal damage even to armored opponents. Additionally, a
waterbender may apply precision-based damage to attacks with a water whip and treat it as a normal whip for
purposes of weapon-based feats. A bender gains an additional bonus of +2/ 5 levels towards trip and disarm attempts
when making use of a water whip. A waterbender can increase damage done by the whip by one step (from 1d4 to
1d6, etc.), increasing the Waterbending DC by +4 per step. The whip can also be extended an additional 5 feet by
increasing the Waterbending DC by +10.
• Capture (Base DC 45): On a turn in which a waterbender successfully hits with her Water Whip she may, as a
swift action, try to engulf the target of the attack in a sphere of water by forcing water through the whip and around
the target. He target receives a Reflex save to escape the whip before this can happen, failure meaning that the target
is stuck in a sphere of water at the bender’s disposal and is considered flat-footed, though not helpless.

Tentacle
Base DC: Varies
This seed involves making, as is implied, a thin tentacle of water to serve various purposes. This is one of the
signature weapons and defenses of beginning waterbenders.
• Tentacle (Base DC 10): A waterbender can create a 5-foot-long tentacle from water anywhere within her bending
range as a standard action. This tentacle can make a single slam attack dealing 1d8+X damage to any opponent in its
range, and can also make trip attempts, with the waterbender’s Wisdom score acting as its Strength score and using
the waterbender’s base attack bonus. If the waterbender has the Improved Trip feat, she may apply the benefits of
the feat to her tentacles as well. Creating more than one tentacle at a time increases the Waterbending DC by +4 per
tentacle, and no two tentacles can be more than 50 ft. apart. Also, creating a tentacle as Large size (changing reach
to 10 ft., adding size bonus to Trip attempts, increasing slam damage to 1d10 and granting a +4 Strength bonus)
adds +4 to the DC per tentacle.
• Octopus (Base DC 15): A waterbender may create three tentacles around herself (in her own square) to serve a

defensive purpose. Aside from the statistics of a normal tentacle, the bender may choose to forgo the attacks of those
from an octopus seed in order to attempt to negate a melee or ranged attack on the waterbender (spells requiring
ranged touch attacks are counted as ranged attacks for this purpose). Each tentacle can make an opposed attack roll
and negates the attack if it exceeds the opponent’s roll. Doing this seed with additional tentacles adds +3 to the DC
per tentacle, and maintaining the seed for more than three rounds requires a Waterbending check every round, with
the DC increasing by +1 per round.

Ice Shards
Base DC: 10
• Weapon: By molding a relatively small quantity of water into her hands, a waterbender may craft any ordinarily
wooden or metal melee weapon or ammunition she is familiar with (not necessarily proficient with) out of ice as a
full-round action. Any weapon made with this seed deals normal damage for its weapon type, plus 1d4 cold damage;
and one use of this seed creates 10 pieces of ammunition at a time. The base DC is for a light weapon; making a
one-handed weapon increases the Waterbending DC by +2, and a two-handed weapon increases the DC by +4. If the
Waterbending check exceeds the DC by 5 or more, the weapon is also of masterwork quality. If the weapon ever
leaves the waterbender’s possession, it begins to melt as normal. Thrown weapons and ammunition can be used as
normal.
• Ranged: By freezing water into a number of small, smooth, thin shards, a waterbender can strike at long range.
This seed deals 1d6 damage to a single creature as a ranged attack with with a maximum range equal to the
Waterbender's bending range. Half of this damage is piercing and half is cold. Increasing the damage dealt by this
seed adds +4 to the Waterbending DC for each additional +1d6, to a maximum of 1d6/level.
• Spikes: Ice is a powerful weapon for a waterbender, and anyone standing on an icy surface stands on the
waterbender’s turf. The bender may fill one five-foot square with protruding spikes as a standard action, dealing 1d4
piercing and 1d4 cold damage per round to anyone standing or passing through the square, counting as rough terrain.
Furthermore, anyone that falls prone in a spiked square takes an additional 1d6 piercing damage. Having this form
affect an additional five-foot square adds +4 to the Waterbending DC per square.
• Entraping Shards (DC 30): By maneuvering shards of ice with pinpoint accuracy, powerful waterbenders can pin
an opponent to a hard surface. If she succeeds in a ranged attack using the Ice Shards seed, a waterbender can
initiate a grapple attempt instead of dealing damage. The target must be within 5 feet of a wall, tree, or other surface
in which a thrown weapon or projectile can be stuck and must be wearing some sort of clothing, armor, or other
accoutrement. To break free, the victim must make a DC 15 Strength check or a DC 15 Escape Artist check as a
standard action. By increasing the DC of the form by 10, a waterbender can cause the ice shards to originate high in
the air, allowing her to pin opponents to the ground instead of to a vertical surface.

Healing Water
Base DC: Varies
This seed actually only encompasses the very basics of an ancient and extensive art of healing through the power of
water and the body’s own energy. Because of the draining process of healing, applying any of the uses of this seed
an amount of times equal to more than half the bender’s class level adds +4 to the Waterbending DC per use. Water
used in this form may not be maintained.
• Wounds (Base DC 20): The most basic, and often most necessary, seed of healing water; the waterbender may seal
the internal and external wounds of the injured by coursing cleansing water through their body. A waterbender may,
as a full-round action, touch a living creature to feel the energy of its body and pinpoint the location of its wounds,
and then bend the properties of liquid water to replenish that energy. This seed heals 1d6 points of damage +1/2
waterbender levels, plus another 1d6 for every 5 points by which the Waterbending check beats the DC. Focusing
for a full round while keeping contact with the target creature before executing the seed grants a +5 circumstance
bonus to the Waterbending check.
• Poisons/Diseases (Base DC Varies): By locating the alien energy within a creature’s body, a waterbender can help
to flush the affliction from its body. This use of healing water requires that the waterbender look over an afflicted
creature until the effects of the affliction take place (ability damage, secondary effects, etc.). Whenever a creature
makes a saving throw against a poison or disease, a waterbender may also make a Waterbending check opposed to
the affliction’s DC to negate the effects remove it from the victim’s body. Conversely, a bender may make a
Waterbending check to flush a poison from a creature’s body before the secondary damage takes place, removing
the primary damage altogether and stopping the need for a second saving throw. Removing the effects of a poison or
disease that has already done secondary damage increases the Waterbending DC by +5.
• Major Wounds (Base DC 40): A difficult technique that few but true healers ever learn to do properly, the healing

power of water can extend far beyond those of the body alone. By creating an icy mold of a creature’s lost limb
attached to where the body part should be and filling it with water, a waterbender stimulates the body to grow the
detached limb again. This process takes a week, at which point the ice cracks to reveal a new and functional limb
proportional to the rest of the body. This seed only functions on external body parts and cannot be used to grow
internal organs or limbs the creature never had.

Water Shield
Base DC: 10
• Plane: By bending a five-foot square of water to hover vertically before her, the waterbender gains a +5 deflection
bonus to AC from ranged attacks from one direction (use a line of effect to determine this), as well as concealment
(attacks have a 20% miss chance) against opponents more than 5 feet away in that direction. This seed does not
affect melee attacks in any way. For every 4 points by which the Waterbending check exceeds the DC, the AC
bonus increases by 1; and increasing the width of the square by 5 ft. adds +5 to the DC. The waterbender may rotate
the shield around her as a swift action.
• Hemisphere: Conversely, the waterbender can make a complete 360 degrees of water anywhere within her bending
range, granting whoever is inside concealment from outside the Hemisphere, and vice-versa. Ranged attacks going
in or out suffer the deflection bonus noted above, but any creature my simply walk into or out of the dome. The base
DC is for a sphere with a 5-foot radius, though this can be increased by adding +5 for every additional 5-foot
increase in radius.

Steady Stance
Base DC: 10
By encasing her feet in solid ice, a bender can better resist attempts to move her, or freeze opponents in place.
• Defensive: Stabilizing herself with feet solidly connected to the ground, a waterbender gains a +2 to saves or
checks to stay in place, +1 for every point by which the Waterbending check exceeds the DC. The waterbender may
also encase the feet of allies within her bending range in this way by adding +2 to the DC per ally. Those affected by
this seed can move from their square if they want, but doing so ends the seed.
• Offensive: By surrounding an enemy’s feet in water and freezing it suddenly to the ground, a waterbender may
prevent an enemy from advancing. The target of this seed makes a Reflex save to avoid it altogether, or remain
frozen in place. Those who failed the Reflex save can make a Strength check to break free, or may spend a full-
round action chipping the ice away with a light weapon. The waterbender may use this seed against multiple
opponents, but this adds +4 to the Waterbending DC per additional opponent.

Rise with the Tides
Base DC: Varies
• Water Spout (Base DC 10): As a move action you lift water in a swirling, spiraling pattern with yourself at the top.
This allows you to move straight up or down at a rate of up to 20 ft. A Water Spout lasts as long as you concentrate
(a swift action, up to a maximum number of rounds equal to your class level), and you can move up or down as you
desire. Your maximum speed increase by 5 ft for every 5 by which your Waterbending check exceeds the base DC.
• Column (Base DC 20): As a standard action you create a column of ice underneath a single medium creature or
object, causing it to rise quickly into the air. The column has a maximum height of 20 ft, plus 5 ft for every 5 by
which the waterbender’s skill check exceeds the base DC. A waterbender can lift larger creatures by increasing the
DC by 10 for every size category of the increase. A waterbender can also lift multiple smaller creatures if they
would fit within the space of the largest creature the waterbender can lift. A creature can make a Reflex save to
avoid being lifted, and must make a DC 10 Balance check to remain standing. Creatures and objects take 4d6
damage if they are caught between the column and a hard ceiling, and must make a DC 20 Strength or Escape Artist
check in order to move.

Pressure (template)
Base DC: 10
Using massive water pressure, a waterbender pushes an opponent back away from her.
• Repel: Compatible with the Blast seed, the waterbender bends a bubble of compressed water into her hands, then
releases it at high speeds towards her opponents. Through this application a waterbender may initiate a bull rush
through her blast in place of damage, with the bender’s Wisdom score acting as the blast’s Strength score. Also, for
every 2 points by which the Waterbending check beats the DC, the bender gains a +1 on the bull rush attempt. If the
blast moves the opponent back more than ten feet, the opponent is also knocked prone.

• Slice: By altering the surface tension of the water she wields, a waterbender can deal full damage to objects when
using Water Blast, and her blast deals slicing damage instead.

Water Walk
Base DC: Varies
Not a few waterbenders have found the irony in the fact that the very element that the benders claim to control so
leaves them completely vulnerable when immersed within. Fewer waterbenders have developed a solution.
• Walk (Base DC 15): A waterbender learns to push up with the water beneath her feet, using its pressure and
surface tension to maintain her weight without sinking. By focusing as a move action every round, a waterbender
can stand on water as solidly as on land; but should she be knocked prone, she immediately falls into the water and
sinks or floats as normal. By increasing the Waterbending DC to 25, the bender can focus as a swift action, and by
increasing it to 40, she can focus as a free action each turn. Usage of this seed requires a Waterbending check each
turn the bender wishes to use it.
• Surf (Base DC 10): By creating a disk of ice beneath and frozen to her legs as a move action, a waterbender can
move quickly across surfaces of water. A waterbender uses her bending abilities to propel this board and gains a
speed of 30 feet per round while surfing (essentially, the bender makes a Waterbending check as a move action to
propel the board). A bender can take the run action while doing this, so long as she moves in a straight line. The
bender’s speed increases by 5 ft for every 5 points by which the Waterbending check exceeds the DC. Because this
seed does allow the bender to remain standing and stable, she may use other Waterbending forms at a -10 penalty
while moving in this fashion.

Propel
Base DC: Varies
You push and pull the water under your boat, gaining a level of control over the craft that is impossible with more
mundane methods of propulsion.
• Launch (Base DC 10): Instead of pushing a boat into the water, you bring the water to the boat, pulling waves up
underneath the craft and causing the waves to draw the craft into the water. Launching a boat in this manner takes 30
seconds (5 full round actions). For every 2 by which your Waterbending check exceeds the base DC, the time
required to launch the boat decreases by 1 round.
• Navigate (Base DC 10): Instead of using sails or a motor, you bend the water underneath the boat to propel it
forward, slow it down, and change directions. As a full-round action, you can move a Huge or smaller boat 10
ft/round with Average maneuverability (DMG p. 20 – for the purposes of this form, disregard any movement
characteristics that have to do with movement in 3 dimensions, including minimum speed and the ability to hover).
You can increase the speed and/or maneuverability of the craft by adding 5 to the DC for every 10 feet of speed or to
increase the maneuverability to Good. You can also propel a larger craft by increasing the DC by 5 per size increase.
You can also slow and stop a boat using this seed. Each full-round action spent slowing a boat reduces its speed by
an amount equal to ¼ of its original speed. Increasing the DC by 5 allows you to reduce speed by an amount equal to
½ of the original speed.
• Slide (Base DC 15): As a standard action you create a wave that pushes a craft sideways by 10 ft. For every 5 by
which your Waterbending check exceeds the DC the craft moves an additional 5 feet sideways.

Armor
Base DC: 15
The element of water has ever changing and resilient, and if used properly can provide considerable protection.
• Liquid Armor: By covering her entire body in a thick layer of liquid water, a waterbender gains DR 3/piercing, and
+2 to AC (including touch AC) against bending attacks as a move action. For every 3 points by which the
waterbender exceeds the base DC, the damage reduction increases by 1. Maintaining the liquid armor for more than
two rounds gives a -4 penalty to all Waterbending checks until the waterbender ends the seed, increasing by -1 every
two turns. If this penalty actually makes the difference that causes a waterbender to fail a Waterbending check, she
may choose to end the seed and remove the penalty at that time.
• Ice Armor: The waterbender may also choose to fashion actual solid armor from water molded around her body
and frozen into place as a full-round action. The waterbender may fashion any type of armor she is familiar with,
and it has all the properties of that armor type, except those based on the armor’s material, and normally metallic
armors weigh half as much as usual. Adding spikes to the armor increases the Waterbending DC by +4. The armor
melts to the point of becoming useless in five minutes unless the ambient temperature is below freezing.

Wave
Base DC: 15
By accentuating the normal fluctuations in water levels, a Waterbender can make standing water or ice accelerate
forward in a wave, crashing into all in its path.
• Breaker: The wave created by this seed travels in a straight line from a large source of water (such as a river, the
ocean, or standing on a glacier) within the waterbender’s bending range as a standard action, and can move 10 ft/
level of the waterbender. The wave initiates a bullrush against any creatures in its path, counting as a Large creature
(with a 10-foot face) with a Strength score equal to the bender’s Wisdom score+2 for the purposes of resolving
bullrush attempts. The waterbender may increase the wave’s size to Huge (Giving an additional +4 size bonus and a
15-foot face) by adding +10 to the DC. A waterbender may try to turn the wave 45 degrees two times during its
motion, but because of the great mass of water used; each requires another Waterbending check at the same DC as
the one to make the wave turn. Any creature pushed back more than 10 feet by the wave is also knocked prone. The
waterbender may move with the wave at its crest, ending her movement wherever the wave moves. Water used in
this way may not be maintained.
• Transport: Rather than make a destructive force against her opponent, a waterbender may make a smaller wave to
carry her quickly from one place to another as a standard action. This wave moves at 10 ft/waterbender level and can
make four 45 degree turns during its motion, without requiring additional Waterbending checks.

Golem
Base DC: 15
By molding a large mass of water, snow, or ice into a vaguely human-shaped structure, a waterbender can create a
powerful proxy to fight in her place.
• Creation and control: As a full round action, a Waterbender can create a golem that she can direct in combat. The
golem is a Medium animated object composed of stone and compacted earth. The waterbender must direct its
actions in combat by making a Waterbending check equal to the original Waterbending DC as a full-round action,
with the golem essentially mimicking the actions taken by the earthbender. If the waterbender does not concentrate
on maintaining and directing the golem or fails the Waterbending check to control it, the golem collapses. The
golem's attack rolls use the waterbender’s base attack bonus and are modified by the earthbender's Wisdom modifier
instead of the golem's Strength modifier. Also, a golem made of primarily of water or snow has no hardness, but has
double the usual hit points for an animated object of the same size. A waterbender can control a golem she can't see,
but the golem is considered blind. Additionally, the earthbender cannot see through the golem, and thus is limited to
the vision range of her current location.
• Attacks: Because the golem is essentially a reflection of its bender’s actions, it can use its slam attack at the same
rate as the bender’s unarmed strikes, along with whatever extra modifiers gained therein (Weapon Focus, etc.).
• Size: The waterbender can increase the size of the golem by adding 5 to the DC for every size increase desired,
creating an animated object of the appropriate size. For example, increasing the DC to 35 allows the waterbender to
create a Gargantuan golem.
• Reach: A waterbender with the Water Whip seed can increase the hardness of her golem by adding +4 to the
Waterbending DC for every 5 ft of reach she wishes to add.
• Enhancement: A waterbender can increase the golem’s physical ability scores by adding 2 to the DC for every +1
to a single score. The waterbender cannot increase the golem’s ability scores by an amount greater than her Wisdom
modifier. A waterbender with a Wisdom modifier of +5 could increase the golem’s Strength or Dexterity (or both
with a high enough Waterbending check) scores by a maximum of 5, increasing the Waterbending DC by 10 in the
process.

Feel the Flow
Base DC: 20
The element of water is fluid and continuous, and those in tune with the element can learn to sense objects
obstructing its flow.
• River Sense: If a waterbender is in contact with moving water, she may begin focusing on feeling the water’s flow
and anything not in sync with it as a move action that doesn’t provoke attacks of opportunity. The waterbender
senses (automatically pinpoints) anything within the river not moving along at its same pace in a 30-foot radius of
herself. For example, a waterbender could sense a rock jutting beneath the surface of the water, fish swimming
against a river’s current, or an assailant hidden behind a bend in a stream; but not a floating log or fish swimming
downstream, since they flow with the river. A waterbender may use this seed as a swift action, but doing so adds
+10 to the Waterbending DC, and she can choose to continue sensing the water’s flow in this way by focusing as a

standard action each round to feel how things move within her perception.
• Lake Sense: Even still bodies of water have a specific flow to them, though it is fundamentally different to that of
moving water. A waterbender sensing a still body of water does so as above, only that she senses anything that has
moved within the water in the past round, and by continuously focusing, anything that moves within it.

Bend Plants
Base DC: Varies
Because of the high percentage of water in plants, a waterbender can theoretically exert complete control over them,
as with water. However, few waterbenders ever learn more than the basics of this as the use of plants extends to an
art within itself.
• Entangle (Base DC 10): A waterbender takes basic control of plants in 20 ft radius within her bending range.
Grasses, weeds, bushes, and even trees wrap, twist, and entwine about creatures in the area or those that enter the
area, holding them fast and causing them to become entangled. The creature can break free and move half its normal
speed by using a full-round action to make a DC 20 Strength check or a DC 20 Escape Artist check. A creature that
succeeds on a Reflex save is not entangled but can still move at only half speed through the area. For every 5 points
by which the Waterbending check exceeds the DC, the radius of this seed increases by 5 feet.
• Entwine (Base DC 25): By taking control of larger or larger quantities of plants, a waterbender can actually crush
opponents within the writhing flora she controls. This seed bends vines and similar plants and seemingly brings
them to life. They grasp and entwine around creatures that enter the area, holding them fast and crushing them with
great strength. Every creature within the seed’s radius must make a grapple check, opposed by the grapple check of
the vines. Treat the vines attacking a particular target as a Large creature with a base attack bonus equal to the
waterbender’s class level and a Strength score equal to her Wisdom score. Thus, its grapple check modifier is equal
to the bender’s class level + Wisdom bonus + 4. Have hardness 2 and 10 hit points.

Blizzard
Base DC: Varies
By rapidly cooling the moisture in the air above him, the waterbender may alter the weather to a small, localized
degree, provided there is enough water in the air.
• Snow (Base DC 25): The waterbender takes control of the ambient moisture in the air or a nearby water source and
forms into a blanket of heavy white snow. The waterbender may bring down a curtain of snow which grants all
within the waterbender's bending range decreased movement and visibility. The first four rounds of this seed's use
creates the weather condition of snow (-4 on Spot and Search checks, -4 to ranged attacks, requires 2 squares of
movement to enter a snow covered square) in the bending radius, while subsequent rounds of use increase this to
heavy snow (same as snow, requires 4 squares of movement to enter a heavy snow square, restricts visibility further
as per fog). The bender may add +5 to the DC of this technique to increase the range half again for every +5 added.
This seed can only be used in exceptionally humid areas or if some form of precipitation is already falling.
• Ice Storm (Base DC 35): A favored offensive move by powerful waterbenders in the poles, this technique is similar
to snow-making, the waterbender violently swirls the snow and ice around her. In a space within her bending range,
the waterbender may creat an ice storm with a radius of 20 ft. Everything within this radius takes 5d6 points of cold
damage from the intense cold, slivers of ice, and freezing rain that composes this storm. The bender may move this
cloud at a rate of 20ft per round upon a successful DC 30 check. Damage may be increased by increments of +1d6
by increasing the DC of the Waterbending check by +2 per increase. The waterbender must have at least a 20ft range
of existing snow, roughly a foot deep, in the surrounding area to use this technique. If she doesn't, then she may use
the Snow technique to create it first.

Bloodbending
Base DC: 50
The bodies of all living creatures, humans especially, are composed primarily of water. Possibly the most powerful
waterbending seed ever designed, the puppet seed allows a waterbender to make use of this, bending the water in a
creatures body to the extent of controlling its actions.
• Puppet: As a full-round action, a waterbender may attempt to control the movements of one creature within her
bending range. The target must make a Fortitude save or have his body move unwillingly at the waterbender's
control. Creatures gain a +4 bonus to their saving throws for each size category larger than Medium when targeted
by this seed. The waterbender may make the target move, attack or any any other action he is capable of using the
target’s modifiers, but may not access the target's feats, knowledge or force him to use any sort of bending. In terms
of movement, targets of this form may be moved using their own base land speeds or through the use of the

Manipulate seed, as far as the waterbender may control the targets with a move action during a turn (this does not
actually take any action other than the standard full round for this seed). This seed takes the bender's full turn and
she may not perform any other physical action on her turn except controlling her opponent, though she may take
purely mental actions. A controlled opponent may make a new saving throw on its own turn. A waterbender may
control additional opponents by adding +5 to the Waterbending DC per target.

Chapter 3 - Non-Bender Classes

Monk
Dotted across the landscape are monasteries--small, walled cloisters inhabited by monks who pursue personal
perfection through physical and mental training. Training themselves to be able warriors even when unarmed and
dressed in peasants' clothes, monks may often walk unnoticed around a town's populace, serving as protectors of the
farmers and other people residing near their training halls. Benign masters often train the residents of their
monasteries to hold life dear and to ensure the safety of those around them. Other masters train their students so they
can be the best and gain fame from the tournament victories their prodigies earn, while some monasteries serve as
training grounds for elite forces of assassins, thieves, or spies.
.
In any case, monks train to perfect their own skills and power, not being dependent on specific equipment and
always ready for when combat is necessary. As such, monks rarely care overmuch for material wealth, but will go to
great lengths to further their skills and refine their respective arts.

Adventures - A monk often approaches an adventure as if it were a personal test. While not prone to shooing off,
this type of monk is willing to try her skills against whatever obstacles confront her in order to perfect her art.
Others travel the countryside, defeating any opponent foolish enough to accept her challenge in order to prove
herself as the greatest warrior around. Still others are employed as mercenaries or special forces by governments and
organizations tied to their monasteries and are assigned specific missions to infiltrate, steal, spy, or assassinate.

Characteristics - The key feature of the monk is her ability to fight unarmed and unarmored. Thanks to her rigorous
training, she can strike as hard as if she were armed and strike faster than a warrior with a sword. The extent and
variations of this ability is largely dependent on the art that individual monks learn at their monasteries, whose
fighting styles vary widely depending on the intended uses of the art.

A monk's training also includes refinement of perception and mobility, and monks gain an instinctive awareness of
opposition that she is not consciously aware of, and the ability to avoid attacks with frustrating regularity. While
some monks attribute these abilities to an inner force, known as ki, others say that it is all a matter of physical
training. In any case, monks are capable of feats that no other warriors have a chance of achieving.

Background - A monk typically trains in a monastery. Most monks were children when they joined the monastery,
as many masters take in orphaned children or accept them from families that can't afford to feed or care for them.
Life in a monastery is so focused that by the time a monk sets off on her own, she seldom feels any connection to
her former family or village.

In larger cities, master monks have set up martial art schools to teach the interested and worthy. At times, there may
be rival schools within a city that compete for the interest of prospective students through highly publicized bouts
and tournaments.

A monk may feel a deep connection to her monastery or school, to the master who taught her, to the clan whose art
she practices, or all of these. Some monks, however, claim none of these ties and simply follow their own path of
personal development.

Monks often recognize each other as separate from the rest of the populace and can hold a deep respect for each
other regardless of which art they practice. Others, however, hold contempt for the martial arts of others and fight to
prove their art superior to all others at every turn.

Other Classes - Monks sometimes seem distant because they often have neither motivation nor skills in common
with members of other classes, or because they have been accustomed to the strict training of their monasteries and
are unused to being among people that do not share that singular passion.

Role - The best role for a monk depends largely on her style, which can vary from constantly mobile opportunistic
attackers as is common with the Cobra Strike discipline, to rock-solid counter-attackers from the Denying Stance. In
any case, monks are often glass cannons that must gauge the amount of punishment they take very carefully.

Abilities - Wisdom powers the monk's AC bonus and save DCs for offensive techniques. Dexterity is a vital ability
for most monks in order to balance the lack of armor and give bonuses to useful skills. Strength is a necessity for
offense-oriented monks that wish to deal significant damage. Constitution helps to balance out the relatively low hit
die that monks have as a warrior class.

Class Features

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Monks are proficient with the club, crossbow (light or heavy), dagger, eskrima,
javelin, quarterstaff, shuriken, sling, and any style weapons (see Style Training, below). Monks are not proficient
with any armor or shields. When wearing armor, using a shield, or carrying a medium or heavy load, a monk loses
her AC bonus, as well as her Enhanced Strike ability and possibly some style abilities.

Style Training: At 1st level, a monk chooses a martial art or style to follow, gaining a +2 competence bonus on a
skill associated with her chosen style, as well as adding it to her class skill list. The monk’s style also determines
other factors, such as damage done by her Enhanced Strike ability, weapon proficiencies (to an extent), and which
bonus feats the monk receives at first, second, and sixth levels. If a monk already has a bonus feat provided by her
style training, she may instead gain any other feat for which she qualifies in its place.

Styles are broken down into light, balanced and heavy styles in terms of Enhanced Strike damage. Further, the
benefits granted by each style depend on what type of styles they are. Style types stack if any abilities grant similar
bonuses.

Also, most monks apply their Wisdom as a bonus to armor class. Specific styles, however, may apply Intelligence or
Charisma modifiers instead, reflecting an analytical or impulsive approach to fighting, respectively. Intelligence-
based styles are labeled Rational, while Charisma-based styles are labeled Vagrant.

Enhanced Strike (Ex): At 1st level, a monk gains Improved Unarmed Strike as a bonus feat. A monk’s attacks may
be with either fist interchangeably or even from elbows, knees, and feet. This means that a monk may even make
unarmed strikes with her hands full. There is no such thing as an off-hand attack for a monk striking unarmed. A
monk may thus apply her full Strength bonus on damage rolls for all her unarmed strikes.

Usually a monk’s unarmed strikes deal lethal damage, but she can choose to deal nonlethal damage instead with no
penalty on her attack roll. She has the same choice to deal lethal or nonlethal damage while grappling.

A monk’s unarmed strike is treated both as a manufactured weapon and a natural weapon for the purpose of feats
and effects that enhance or improve either manufactured weapons or natural weapons (though not crafting bonuses,
of course).

A monk also deals more damage with her unarmed strikes than a normal person would, though the damage of
individual strikes depends largely on her fighting style.

Unarmored AC Bonus: When unarmored and unencumbered, the monk adds her Wisdom bonus (if any) to her AC.

Still Mind (Ex): A monk of 3rd level or higher gains a +4 bonus on saving throws against fear or mind-affecting
effects.

Purity of Body (Ex): At 5th level, a monk gains a +4 to saving throws against disease.

Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Beginning at 7th level, a monk studying an style retains his Dexterity bonus to AC even
when flat-footed.

If a monk already has uncanny dodge from a second class, the character automatically gains improved uncanny
dodge instead.

Diamond Body (Ex): At 11th level, a monk gains a +4 bonus on saving throws against poisons of all kinds.

Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Beginning at 14th level, a monk can no longer be flanked.

Mobile Style Abilities
Mobile styles are those which put an emphasis on movement and using it to your advantage, maneuvering around
your opponent, staying out of range, and charging suddenly into the fray before an opponent can prepare a
countermeasure.

Unarmored Speed Bonus (Ex): At 3rd level, a monk studying an agile style gains an enhancement bonus to her
speed, as shown on the table above. A monk in armor or carrying a medium or heavy load loses this extra speed.
Evasive Style Abilities
Evasive styles focus on avoiding attacks and damage, forcing the opponent to engage and frustrating him with your
superior reflexes, opening him up for a counterattack.

Unarmored AC Bonus - A monk of an evasive style gains a +1 Dodge bonus to AC at 5th level. This bonus
increases by 1 for every four monk levels thereafter (+2 at 8th, +3 at 12th, +4 at 16th, and +5 at 20th level). This
stacks with the monk's normal AC bonus. A monk wearing any armor or carrying a medium or heavy load does not
gain the benefits of this ability.

Evasion (Ex) - At 2nd level or higher if a monk studying an evasive style makes a successful Reflex saving throw
against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage. Evasion can be
used only if a monk is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless monk does not gain the benefit of this ability.

Improved Evasion (Ex): At 9th level, the evasion ability of a monk studying an evasive style improves. She still
takes no damage on a successful Reflex saving throw against attacks, but henceforth she takes only half damage on a
failed save. A helpless monk does not gain the benefit of improved evasion.

Hard Style Abilities
Hard styles emphasize powerful strikes in melee, pounding the enemy with powerful single strikes and making it too
costly for an opponent to engage in melee combat. Hard styles also tend to train by breaking hard objects, such as
wooden boards and bricks.

Decisive Strike - When unarmored, a monk studying a hard style may deliver a single powerful blow as a standard
action or by making a full attack, in which case each decisive strike counts as two attacks (if the monk has attacks
left over, these may be done as normal strikes; decisive strikes are in bold on the class table). When doing so, her
attack roll is made with a -2 penalty, as does each other attack made that round. The resulting modified base attack
bonuses are shown in the Decisive Strike column on the above table. When a monk reaches 5th level, the penalty
lessens to -1, and at 9th level it disappears. At 11th level, a monk gains a +1 bonus on the attack roll of a decisive
strike. A monk must use an attack action to perform a decisive strike. If the attack hits, it deals double damage.

When using a decisive strike, a monk may attack only with unarmed strikes or with style weapons. The monk can’t
use any weapon other than a style weapon for a decisive strike. Also, when using a decisive strike in a full attack,
attacks may be done in any order, and not only as shown on the monk's class table. For example, a monk with a Base
Attack Bonus of 14 may make a normal unarmed strike at a +14 modifier, then a decisive strike at a +9 modifier if
she wishes. A monk may not use a decisive strike as part of a flurry of blows.

If a decisive strike is used to deliver a stunning attack, the save DC to resist the ability is increased by 2.

Quick Style Abilities
Quick styles focus on getting within melee range of an opponent and keeping him there, overwhelming him with a
series of blows that make it extremely difficult to defend.

Flurry of Blows - When unarmored, a monk studying a quick style may strike with a rapid series of blows at the
expense of accuracy. When doing so, she may make one extra attack in a round at her highest base attack bonus, but
this attack takes a -2 penalty, as does each other attack made that round. The resulting modified base attack bonuses
are shown in the Flurry of Blows column on the above table. This penalty applies for 1 round, so it also affects
attacks of opportunity the monk might make before her next action. When a monk reaches 5th level, the penalty
lessens to -1, and at 9th level it disappears. When a monk reaches 11th level, her flurry of blows ability improves. In
addition to the standard single extra attack she gets from flurry of blows, she gets a second extra attack at her

second-best base attack bonus. A monk must use a full attack action to strike with a flurry of blows.

When using flurry of blows, a monk may attack only with unarmed strikes or with style weapons. She may attack
with unarmed strikes and style weapons interchangeably as desired. When using weapons as part of a flurry of
blows, a monk applies her Strength bonus (not Str bonus × 1½ or ×½) to her damage rolls for all successful attacks,
whether she wields a weapon in one or both hands. The monk can’t use any weapon other than a style weapon as
part of a flurry of blows.

In the case of the quarterstaff, each end counts as a separate weapon for the purpose of using the flurry of blows
ability. Even though the quarterstaff requires two hands to use, a monk may still intersperse unarmed strikes with
quarterstaff strikes, assuming that she has enough attacks in her flurry of blows routine to do so.

Resilient Style Abilities
Resilient styles don't bother overmuch with defending against an opponents' they rather focus on bearing pain and
increasing their own resistance to damage, allowing them to shrug off attacks and deal the damage back in kind.

Damage Reduction - at level 4 monk of a resilient style gains Damage Reduction 1/-. This bonus increases by 1 for
every four monk levels thereafter (2/- at 8th, 3/- at 12th, 4/- at 16th, and 5/- at 20th level).

The Denying Stance monk seeks to neutralize the opponent's maneuvers, thwarting him at every turn until he
becomes so frustrated that he makes a crucial error.
Style Weapons: dagger, eskrima, kama, quarterstaff, sai
Skill Bonus: Tumble
1st Level Bonus Feat: Combat Expertise
2nd Level Bonus Feat: Combat Reflexes
Denying Stance: Beginning at 3rd level, a monk of the denying stance can forgo any number of attacks she wishes
in a full attack and ‘save’ them for use as immediate actions during the rest of the round. You may only use these
attacks against opponents that attack you in melee before you next turn and the attacks are made directly after the
opponent’s attack. In the case of a full attack, you may trade blow for blow, executing an attack after each of her
opponent’s attacks. The number of attacks you can ‘save’ and their base attack bonuses is determined by your Flurry
of Blows full attack.
6th Level Bonus Feat: Parry Defense
At 8th level, when fighting defensively or using the Combat Expertise feat, you gain a +2 bonus on grapple checks
(including to initiate a grapple), trip attempts and disarm attempts. This bonus increases to +4 at level 14.

stance technique land before those of your opponent.

Agile, Evasive, Hard, Quick Style
The hand and foot style emphasizes combinations interchanging speed and accuracy with the hands and powerful
finishing strikes with the feet, confounding opponents' defenses by attacking from four limbs all at once.
Style Weapons: dagger, kama, nunchaku, quarterstaff, three-section staff
Skill Bonus: Balance, Bluff
1st Level Bonus Feat: Stunning Fist
2nd Level Bonus Feat: Deflect Arrows
At 4th level, a monk of the hand and foot learns the founding principle of her art: the differing roles and capabilities
of her hands and feet. Whenever making an unarmed strike, you must also specify if you are using your hands or
feet (or other body parts, such as elbows and knees, as appropriate). Any unarmed strikes you make with your hands
from this point on gain a +1 to attack rolls, plus another +1/four monk levels, and any strikes made with your feet
gain a +1 to damage, +1/four monk levels. Unarmed Strikes made with the feet also count as two-handed weapons
for the purpose of the Power Attack feat.
6th Level Bonus Feat: Improved Trip
At 7th Level, You gain a +2 bonus on attacks of opportunity made against an opponent attempting to bull rush or
trip you, and a +4 bonus on Dexterity or Strength checks to avoid being tripped or bull rushed
At 8th level, you gain one of the hand and foot techniques detailed below.
12th Level Bonus Feat: Flying Kick
18th Level Bonus Feat: Combat Expertise
At 20th level, a monk of the hand and foot gains a +2 on all attack rolls, trip, bull rush, or bluff attempts used in her
hand and foot techniques. In addition, whenever you make a full attack or flurry of blows, you gain a cumulative +1
to attack and damage rolls on unarmed strikes and attacks with style weapons for every previous successful hit in the
full attack.

Hand and Foot techniques
Double Roundhouse Kick – As a standard action or part of a charge, a monk of the hand and foot may make two
attacks at her highest base attack bonus instead of one. However, if either of these attacks fails to hit, you are
considered flat-footed until you are hit with a melee attack or until your next turn.
Feint Jab - A monk of the hand and foot expands upon the principle of speed over power that dominates the use of
her hands. During a full attack, you may make feint jabs as attack actions with your hands (this does not provoke
attacks of opportunity), resolving it as a normal feint. However, your opponent is only considered flat-footed against
the next attack you use during the same turn as the feint (unlike a normal feint, which can be followed up on your
next turn).
Palm Strike – Whenever you make a decisive strike with your hands, you may also make a bull rush attempt against
your opponent at a -2 penalty (This does not provoke an attack of opportunity, as you are not moving into your
opponent’s square) as part of the attack, resolving it as normal. However, you do not have the option to move with
your opponent, and it after the initial five feet your opponent is pushed back, your roll must be 10 points higher than
your opponent’s in order to push him back an additional 5 feet (rather than 5 points higher, as normal). Stunning
attacks made with palm strikes gain an additional +2 to their save DCs.
Push Kick – A monk of the hand and foot learns to use her superior leg strength in ways other than direct damage to
her opponent. As an attack action, you may make a bull rush attempt against your opponent at a -2 penalty (This
does not provoke an attack of opportunity, as you are not moving into your opponent’s square), resolving it as
normal. However, you do not have the option to move with your opponent, and it after the initial five feet your
opponent is pushed back, your roll must be 10 points higher than your opponent’s in order to push him back an
additional 5 feet (rather than 5 points higher, as normal). If a push kick is made as part of a charge, it deals normal
unarmed strike damage as well as initiating a bull rush.
Sweep Kick – Whenever you successfully hit with a hand technique and then a foot technique during a full attack,
you immediately gain a free trip attempt against your opponent.

Heavy Styles
Overwhelming Attack
Hard, Quick, Resilient Style
The overwhelming attack fighting style works under the theory that an opponent that cannot get up cannot hurt you.
As such, the style has little in the way of defensive power, but seeks to pound enemies into submission before they
become a threat.
Style Weapons: dagger, naginata, quarterstaff, siangham
Skill Bonus: Intimidate
1st Level Bonus Feat: Power Attack
2nd Level Bonus Feat: Improved Bull Rush
At 3rd level, you learn the basis for your art: an aggressive stance. You may switch in or out of an aggressive stance
as a free action, though you cannot switch out of an aggressive stance on the same turn as you go into it. When in
the aggressive stance, you lose your Wisdom bonus to AC and instead gain your Wisdom modifier to attack rolls.
At 5th level, you gain the ability to make a reckless assault, when in your aggressive stance. When making a
reckless assault, you may reduce your armor class by an amount up to your total dodge bonus and apply that same
amount to your attack rolls for the rest of the turn. This bonus to attack my not surpass your base attack bonus.
6th Level Bonus Feat: Improved Overrun
At 8th level, you may make a move action alongside a full attack on any turn that you begin in the aggressive
stance.
At 10th level, you gain half the amount sacrificed as part of a reckless assault as a damage bonus to all attacks that
round.
12th Level Bonus Feat: Shock Trooper
18th Level Bonus Feat: Leap Attack

Passive Way
Evasive Style
The Passive Way focuses on making your opponent overreach himself or underestimate your skill.
Style Weapons: dagger, eskrima, kusari-gama, quarterstaff, sai
Skill Bonus: Bluff
1st Level Bonus Feat: Combat Expertise.
2nd Level Bonus Feat: Improved Trip
At 3rd level, you learn the basis for your art: the passive stance. Whenever an opponent attacks and misses you in
melee and misses by 5 or more while you are using Combat Expertise to increase your armor class, you
automatically gain a trip, grapple, or disarm attempt against him, at your choice. This counts as an attack of
opportunity, and you must be aware of your opponent before he makes an attack in order to use any attack from the
passive stance.
At 5th level, you gain an additional ability to use with your passive stance, known as flowing. If your opponent
attacks and misses you in melee, you may use his own momentum against him. Initially you make a touch attack, as
for a grapple attempt. If it is successful, you and your opponent make opposed Strength or Dexterity checks
(whichever is higher for each individual). If your check is greater, then you may shove your opponent 5 feet in any
direction you wish, plus another 5 for every 2 points by which you won the opposed check (you may lessen the
distance, if you wish). If an opponent is charging your or doing a bull rush attempt, you gain a +5 on your check.
You must be able to execute an unarmed strike to do this technique.
6th Level Bonus Feat: Improved Feint.
At 8th level, you gain a +4 bonus on all checks made as part of a technique from the passive stance (Strength checks
for trip attempts, touch attacks for grapples, Dexterity checks to flow your opponent, etc.), as well as an additional
+4 to any of these checks if your opponent is flat-footed. In addition you gain additional attacks of opportunity per
round equal to your Wisdom modifier. This stacks with Combat Reflexes or any other source of attacks of
opportunity.
At 10th level, you may execute an attack with a light weapon or unarmed strike as an immediate action against an
opponent as you execute a flow on him. This does not require an additional attack of opportunity other than the
initial one.
12th Level Bonus Feat: Defensive Strike
At 14th level, you may combine a flow attempt with any other special attack you can do in the passive stance. For
example, you could trip your opponent, in which case he would fall face-first five feet away from you (or further, as
appropriate). In the case of a grapple, you flow with your opponent, beginning the grapple in the square where he
ends.
18th Level Bonus Feat: Improved Combat Expertise
At 20th level, you learn how to use your ability to flow offensively against opponents. As an attack action, you may
make a touch attack against an opponent. If it is successful, you may flow your opponent as usual, including any
bonuses or additional abilities you’ve gained with it.

Ranger
Stalwart warriors and hunters in the wilderness, rangers are known for their ease in traversing difficult or seemingly
impossible terrain and martial prowess. The outlands and wastelands and jungles, where contemporary knowledge
fails and soldiers fear to tread, where the terrain is more deadly than any assassin and the elements are in their
primal forms; these are the ranger's turf. He knows the wilderness as if it were his home (and, indeed, it often is) and
he knows his prey in deadly detail.

Adventures - A ranger often accepts the role of protector, aiding those who live in or travel through the woods. In
addition, rangers carry grudges or special training against specific warriors and looks for opportunities to find and
destroy them. He may also adventure for all the reasons that a fighter does.

Characteristics - A ranger can use a variety of weapons and is quite capable in combat. His skills allow him to
survive in the wilderness, to find his prey, and to avoid detection. He also has special knowledge of certain fighting
organizations, which makes it easier for him to find and defeat such foes. Finally, a ranger has such knowledge and
experience of nature that he can find and apply natural herbs ranging from home remedies to deadly poisons.

Alignment - Rangers can be of any alignment. Most are good, and such rangers usually function as protectors of the
wild areas. In this role, a ranger seeks out and destroys creatures and people that threaten the wilderness. Good
rangers also protect those who travel through the wilderness, sometimes as unseen guardians. Many rangers are also
chaotic, preferring to follow the ebb and flow of nature of their own heart instead of rigid rules. Evil ranger, though
rare, are much to be feared. They revel in nature's thoughtless cruelty and seek to emulate her most fearsome
predators.

Background - Some rangers gain their training as part of special military teams, but most learned their skills from
solitary masters who accepted them as students and and assistants. The ranger of a particular master may count
themselves as allies, or they may be rivals for the status of best student and thus rightful heir to their master's fame.
Rangers are also commonly hired as mercenaries for their ability to track opponents quickly over long distances.

Nation - Rangers come from any nation and often view themselves as independent from them, since nature spans
the world and belongs to no one. That being said, Air Nomads often take levels in ranger to assist them in their
travels and survive their endless voyages throughout the world.

Role - The ranger's best role is that of a scout and secondary combatant. Without a fighter's heavy armor or the
resilience of a barbarian, the ranger should focus on opportunistic and ranged attacks. When in combat against a
favored enemy, however, rangers can quickly turn the tide of a battle.

Abilities - Dexterity is important for a ranger both because he tends to wear light armor and because several ranger
skills are based on that ability. Strength is important for rangers that focus on melee combat. Several important
ranger skills, such as Survival and Knowledge (nature) are based on Wisdom, meaning that the trademark abilities
Track and Wilderness Lore are also dependent upon it.

Class Features

Weapon and armor proficiencies - A ranger is proficient with all simple and martial weapons, and with light
armor and shields (except tower shields).

Favored Environment - At 1st level, a ranger may select a natural environment from among those given on Table:
Ranger Favored Environments. Due to the ranger's experience in that environment, he gains a +2 bonus on Hide,
Listen, Move Silently, Spot, and Survival checks when using these skills in that environment. He also gains the
same bonus on Knowledge (nature) checks made in association with that environment (or on Knowledge
(dungeoneering) checks made in association with underground environments, if the ranger has selected underground
as a favored environment).

If the ranger chooses desert or forest, he must also choose a climate type, as indicated on the table (either "cold" or
"temperate or warm" for desert, or "cold or temperate" or "warm" for forest).

Favored Enemy (Ex) - At 2nd level, a ranger may select a group or organization to specialize in opposing. The
ranger gains a +2 bonus on Bluff, Listen, Sense Motive, Spot, and Survival checks when using these skills against
creatures of this type. Likewise, he gets a +2 bonus on weapon damage rolls against such creatures.

This ability can affect groups such as Fire Nation infantry, Dai Li agents, members of a specific mercenary group,
Water Tribe waterbenders, martial artists of a specific style, or other groups of opponents with similar fighting
styles, as displayed on the table below.

Specialization - At 5th level and every five levels thereafter (at 10th, 15th, and 20th level), the ranger may select an
additional favored environment or favored enemy from those given on their respective tables and gains an identical
bonus on the appropriate checks in that environment or against that opponent. In addition, at each such interval, the
bonuses in any one specialization (including the one just selected, if so desired) increase by 2. For example, a 5th-
level ranger has two favored environments. In one he has a +4 bonus on the appropriate skill checks, and in the other
he has a +2 bonus. At 10th level, he has three favored environments, and he gains an additional +2 bonus, which he
can allocate to any of his three favored environments. Thus, his bonuses could be either +4, +4, and +2 or +6,+2,

and +2. Also, if a Ranger is applying his skills against a favored enemy while within his favored environment, the
ranger applies whichever skill bonus is greater adds half of the lower bonus to it.

Wilderness Lore - A ranger may use his knowledge and experience in the natural environment to identify plants
with uses both medicinal and poisonous. Whenever a ranger uses the Survival skill to forage for food, he may also
make a Knowledge (nature) check to identify herbs with useful properties. If the Knowledge check exceeds the DC
of each herb and if it is present in the area the ranger searches through, the ranger may gather it and apply it as noted
in each herb's description.

Track - A ranger gains Track as a bonus feat.

Wild Empathy (Ex) -A ranger can improve the attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy
check to improve the attitude of a person. The ranger rolls 1d20 and adds his ranger level and his Charisma modifier
to determine the wild empathy check result. The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while
wild animals are usually unfriendly.

To use wild empathy, the ranger and the animal must be able to study each other, which means that they must be
within 30 feet of one another under normal visibility conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1
minute, but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time.

Endurance - A ranger gains Endurance as a bonus feat at 3rd level.

Woodland Stride (Ex) - Starting at 7th level, a ranger may move through any sort of undergrowth (such as natural
thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at his normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any
other impairment.

Swift Tracker (Ex) - Beginning at 8th level, a ranger can move at his normal speed while following tracks without
taking the normal -5 penalty. He takes only a -10 penalty (instead of the normal -20) when moving at up to twice
normal speed while tracking.

Evasion (Ex) - At 9th level, a ranger can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If he makes a
successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, he instead
takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if the ranger is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless ranger does
not gain the benefit of evasion.

Camouflage (Ex) - A ranger of 13th level or higher can use the Hide skill in any sort of natural terrain, even if the
terrain doesn’t grant cover or concealment.

Hide in Plain Sight (Ex) - While in any sort of natural terrain, a ranger of 17th level or higher can use the Hide skill
even while being observed.

Combat styles - At 2nd level, a ranger must select pne combat style to pursue from among the list below. This
choice affects the character’s class features but does not restrict his selection of feats or special abilities in any way.
The combat style treats the rangers as having feats, even if he does not have the prerequisites for them.
The benefits of the ranger’s chosen style apply only when he wears light or no armor. He loses all benefits of his
combat style when wearing medium or heavy armor. Should the ranger already have a feat when he would earn it
from his combat style, he may instead take another feat to which he has the prerequisites in its place.

Herb List
Ginger Root (DC 5) - Found almost anywhere in lightly to densely forested environments, this root has a strong,
sharp flavor and is often used to flavor food. When boiled in water to make tea, ginger root fortifies the body's
immune system, granting a +2 to fortitude saves against disease for one day. The average ginger root can weigh
anywhere from two to eight ounces depending on size, and it takes half an ounce to make a cup of ginger tea.

Wumei (Plum) (DC 5) - Commonly found on plum trees in any deciduous forest, this specially prepared fruit is a
very common medicine used for strengthening the body as opposed to healing it. One fruit grants a +2 bonus on all
fortitude saves for 10 minutes. Additional fruits extend this duration by 10 minutes up to a maximum of 1 hour per
day. Collecting takes a single move action per fruit and the preparing takes 1 hour for every 100 fruits, and there
may be anywhere from 20 to 40 plums on a single tree during the spring. Eating at least one plum fruit every day for
at least two weeks makes the bonus on Fortitude saves continuous for as long as one eats at least one plum a day.
Missing a day once the two weeks are complete has no effect, though missing four or more consecutive days
removes the bonus and two more weeks of eating plum are necessary to get it back. The average plum weighs 4 to
eight ounces, depending on size and ripeness.

Jasmine Flowers (DC 10) - Commonly found in warm and tropical forests, these flowers have a distinctive star-
shaped structure and grow as climbers vines on larger plants. Strongly and sweetly scented, the flowers may be
boiled into a fragrant tea which grants a +1 to Fortitude saves against disease for rest of the day in which it is drunk.
For every week in which at least one cup of Jasmine Tea is drunk every day, the bonus increases by 1 to a maximum
of +3.

Sandalwood (Oil) (DC 15) - The oil of the Sandalwood tree is full of nutrients and curative agents that heal the skin.
It takes one minute to harvest one square foot of bark from the sandalwood tree and one hour to prepare Sandalwood
oil which requires 2gp worth of normal oil. Once prepared, the Sandalwood oil mixture can be applied to any burn,
blemish, or other skin injury for 10 minutes to completely remove the effect. Sandalwood Oil cures 3d8 non-lethal
damage with a single dose as well as 1d8+3 damage dealt by fire or acid. Pure Sandalwood Oil is extremely potent
and should never be used, if pure Sandalwood Oil is used it causes 1d6 damage which cannot be healed except by
the Healing Waters seed. Sandalwood Oil (in pure form) can also be used as a laxative that effects the drinker 1
minute after being taken causing the drinker to make a DC20 fortitude save or become nauseated. Sandalwood Oil
has a distinct smell and taste which can be identified by a DC 5 Knowledge (Nature) check. Sandalwood bark
weighs half a pound per square foot, sandalwood oil weighs the same as regular oil. Cost: 5gp per dose, 10gp per
dose of pure oil

Frozen Wood Frogs (DC 20) - These frogs produce a potent medicinal slime that has the ability to cure even
deadliest of diseases. By sucking on the frog for a continuous 2 hours, a patient is cured of any and all of the
following conditions: confused, dazed, nauseated, and sickened. The frog's secretions are also a powerful medicine,
and they may be used to cure any physical disease with a Fortitude save DC of 20 or lower. The frogs must have
been frozen for at least a week before enough of the slime is produced to have any effect. The frozen frogs are
actually quite tasty both raw and cooked, though few people would suffer the indignity of eating the animal. The
frogs thaw out of their frozen state within a period of 1d2+4 hours.

Chapter 4 - Feats and Skills

Feats

Airbending Study [Bending]
The flows of the wind may influence all elements, and an astute bender may learn power by understanding this.
Prerequisites: Knowledge (Bending) 9 ranks.
Benefit: Depending on one's bending class, this feat grants the following:
Earth - Air flows around all obstacles, and the earthbender who learns this understands a new way to mold his
stubborn element. By breaking down his earth blast into dozens of pebbles, he may negate a foe's cover. Reduce a
foe's cover bonus by one step (full to partial, partial to none), but reduce the earth blast by 1d6 due to the loss of
solid mass.
Water - Air currents mass and swell around an airbender, aiding their movements. The insightful waterbender learns
that while air exists around the body, water exists inside of it. With this understanding, the waterbender may use his
water to aid his equilibrium, gaining his Wisdom modifier as a circumstance bonus to Balance and Tumble checks.
Fire - With similarly insubstantial elements, the firebender learns ways to manipulate his flame to increase it's
defensive capabilities, as befits an airbender. By learning to channel his flame's currents through the air around him,
he makes a better defense for himself. The firebender's penalty to Deflect Bending is reduced to +0.

Balanced Blade [Style, Fighter]
You have mastered the unique fighting style of wielding your sword in one hand, using your other hand to balance
your strikes and gain better control over your motions.
Prerequisites: Combat Expertise, Dodge, Weapon Focus (longsword), Intelligence 13
Benefit: When using a longsword in one hand and wearing no more than light armor, you gain a bonus on your
attack rolls and a Dodge bonus to your armor class equal to 1+one-fifth your base attack bonus (round down).
Special: A fighter may take this as one of his fighter bonus feats.

Behind The Back [General]
Darting forward and circling your opponent, you manage to position yourself behind her back and avoid her strikes.
Prerequisites: Dodge feat or a dodge bonus to AC as a class feature, Tumble 9 ranks
Benefit: As a full-round action, you move into your opponent’s square and behind her back, rotating as she spins
and moving as she moves. Whenever the opponent targets you with an attack, you make a Tumble opposed by her
attack roll. You may add any Dodge bonuses to you have to your AC to this opposed check. If your check exceeds
his/her attack roll, you are able to remain behind her and the attack is negated. If you fail, the attacker doesn’t need
to make an additional attack roll, but must still hit your AC. You do not threaten any squares while using this
maneuver.

If the opponent moves, you may either elect to move with her, or may remain where you are (though neither of you
provokes an attack of opportunity for moving out of each other’s spaces). An opponent can attempt to trick you
using a Bluff check. If he/she wins this Bluff check, you cannot move with her. You can remain behind your
opponent’s back as long as you succeed in opposed checks. If you are successfully hit by the opponent, you
automatically move into an adjacent square of your choice and your attempt ends (though you can initiate another as
a full-round action).

Channel Blast [Bending]
Through practice with your bending and weapon of choice, you learn to use both at the same time.
Prerequisites: Base attack bonus +5, Weapon Focus (weapon chosen), the ability to use a bending Blast
Benefit: When wielding a weapon with which you have the Weapon Focus feat, you may use your bending Blast as
if you had two free hands.
Normal: Your hands must be free in order to bend

Chi Disruption [General, Fighter]
Your accurate strikes block the flow of chi with a person’s body, hampering their movement.
Prerequisites: Improved Unarmed Strike, Stunning Fist, BAB +6, Wis 13+
Benefit: At the cost of a Stunning Fist attempt, you may make a precisely-placed strike at a weak point in your
opponent’s body, blocking the flow of her chi and making even simple movements difficult. If you hit with an
unarmed strike, the target must make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + half your character level + your Wisdom modifier)
or take a -2 penalty to Dexterity or Strength (your choice). If you miss with your unarmed strike or the target
successfully saves, you still count as having expended the Stunning Fist. Unlike the Stunning Fist feat, you can use
this feat multiple times in a single round and multiple uses on the same target are cumulative. This feat can never
reduce a creature’s Dexterity score below 1. You can only use this feat against foes of the Humanoid type.
Special: A fighter may select Chi Disruption as one of his fighter bonus feats.

Chi Immobilization [General, Fighter]
You know the exact pressure points that cut off the flow of Chi to a foe’s extremities.
Prerequisites: Improved Unarmed Strike, Stunning Fist, Chi Disruption
Benefit: At the cost of two Stunning Fist attempts, you can attempt to limit or cut off a foe’s use of her limbs. As a
standard action, you make a single melee attack. If your attack hits, your opponent must make a Fortitude save (DC
10 + half you character level + your Wisdom modifier) or lose the use of a single limb. Losing the use of an arm (or
equivalent limb) gives the creature a -4 penalty to attack rolls and prevents the use of Two-Weapon Fighting and
two-handed weapons. Losing the use of both arms increases the penalty on attack rolls to -8 and prevents the use of
any weapons (though the creature can still make unarmed strikes using his/her legs or head). Losing the use of a leg
gives the creature a -4 penalty to AC and halves the creatures base speed. Losing both legs renders the creature
prone, eliminates any bonuses to AC other than Armor, Natural Armor, and Deflection bonuses, and limits the
creature to 5 feet of movement per round. You can only use this feat against foes of the Humanoid type.
Special: A fighter may select Chi Immobilization as one of his fighter bonus feats.

Circle Walking [General]
Have you ever tried to grasp the wind?
Prerequisites: Tumble 8 ranks
Benefit: When making a full round attack, you take a 5-foot step between each attack. You gain a +1 dodge bonus to
AC while circle walking. Using this maneuver requires a successful DC 25 Tumble check. For every 5 by which
your Tumble check exceeds the DC, your dodge bonus increases by 1. You can use this maneuver even if you
reserve attacks to gain Deflect Bending attempts.
Normal: You cannot move while making a full round attack.

Deflect Arrows [General, Fighter]
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Improved Unarmed Strike or Weapon Focus (any melee weapon)
Benefit: Once per round, when you would normally be hit with a ranged attack, you may make an opposed attack
roll to deflect the attack, taking no damage from it. You must be aware of the attack and not flat-footed.
Attempting to deflect a ranged attack doesn’t count as an action. Unusually massive ranged weapons cannot be
deflected. You must either have a hand free or be wielding the weapon to which you have applied the Weapon
Focus feat in order to deflect arrows.
Special: A fighter may select Deflect Arrows as one of his fighter bonus feats.

Disperse Attack [Bending]
Prerequisites: Deflect Attack as a class ability, 8 ranks in any Bending skill
Benefit: You have mastered the defensive techniques presented by your element, allowing you to avoid even the
most ferocious of attacks. In addition to being able to deflect attacks as normal, you can negate the effects of area of
effect bending forms as well. As an immediate action that uses up one of your Deflect Attack opportunities, you may
make an opposed bending check against your opponent. If you succeed, you negate the effects of the form for the 5-
foot square you occupy. For every 5 by which you win the opposed bending check, you can negate the effect of the
form for an additional 5-foot square, which must be adjacent to another square you are able to effect with this
ability. For example, if you win the opposed bending check by 10, you can negate the area of attack form in three 5-
foot squares.

Normal: You can only negate or deflect effects requiring an attack roll with your Deflect Attack

Disrupt Bending [General]
You accurately strike crucial points on a bender’s body, making it difficult to bend.
Prerequisites: Improved Unarmed Strike, Stunning Fist, BAB +6, Wis 13+
Benefit: At the cost of a Stunning Fist attempt, you may make a precisely-placed strike at a weak point on your
opponent’s body, blocking the flow of his/her chi and disrupting his/her ability to bend. If you hit with an unarmed
strike, the target must make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + half your character level + your Wisdom modifier) or take a
penalty to all Bending checks equal to half your character level. If you miss with your unarmed strike or the target
successfully saves, you still count as having expended the Stunning Fist attempt. Unlike the Stunning Fist feat, you
can use this feat multiple times in a single round, and multiple uses on the same target stack. You can only use this
feat against foes of the Humanoid type. ability.

Earthbending Study [Bending]
Hard and unyielding, the earthbender's element is as resilient as he is. A truly perceptive bender glean an epiphany
with his own element by understanding this.
Air - The resolute and unyielding earth defies the changing winds, and the airbender that learns this, learns that his
element too may be unyielding it's strength. The airbender may now oppose bull rush attempts by utilizing his
airbending, using an airbending skill check instead of the normal bull rush resistance roll.
Water - Water may carve canyons into the earth, but the hardest earth directs where this water flows. By learning
how to form harder ice, the waterbender learns to be unyielding. The waterbender may add his Wisdom modifier to
the hardness of his ice and twice his Wisdom modifier to the ice's hit points, and he may increase the break DC on
immobilizing ice constructs by +2.
Fire - The stubborn and tenacious nature of earth aids the firebender in learning to stand tough against any
onslaught. The firebender adds his Wisdom modifier to Fortitude saves.

Extra Bending Seed [Bending]
Through careful practice, you have learned more bending techniques in your studies.
Prerequisites: The ability to use a bending Blast, Knowledge (Bending) 6 ranks.
Benefit: You may add one additional bending seed to your list of seeds known.

Focused Bending [Bending]
You become more competent at bending a specific way.
Effects: Choose one Bending seed. You gain a +4 competence bonus to the appropriate bending skill when using a
form with that seed.
Special: You may take this feat multiple times. Its effects do not stack, but must be applied to different seeds.

Firebending Study [Bending]
The breath of the dragon is the power of the firebender, and by learning this principle a bender may find that the
breath can bring strength to his own element.
Air - Breath is the airbender's territory, for it is the element itself that they bend. By manipulating air currents, the
bender may reduce some of the sting of a firebender's breath. So long as the airbender is aware of the incoming fire
and he is taking a defensive action, he gains a Fire Resistance equal to his Wisdom modifier.
Water - The natural antithesis of fire, the waterbender learns that strength of fire lies in its intensity. With this
knowledge, the waterbender may increase the force of his water blast by adding his Wisdom modifier to the damage.
Earth - For the earthbender, the ways of fire may teach a lesson of haste and passion. The earthbender may increase
the speed of his earth blasts by reducing the size and power of the blast. When making a full attack action, the
earthbender receives an extra attack at his highest attack bonus. The damage of the blasts are reduced by 1d6 and all
attacks receive a -2 penalty.

Greater Sharpshooting [General, Fighter]
Prerequisites: Base Attack Bonus +14, Dexterity 15, Precise Shot, Sharpshooting

Improved Chi Disruption [General, Fighter]
With a flurry of precise blows, you are able to render a foe unconscious or immobile.
Prerequisites: Improved Unarmed Strike, Stunning Fist, Chi Disruption, BAB +9, Wis 13+
Benefit: Your Chi Disruption attempts deal ability damage instead of imposing ability penalties. This means that
you can reduce an opponent’s abilities to 0 using this feat. In addition, the DC to resist your Chi Disruption attempts
increases by 2. Finally, if you reduce an opponent's ability score to 0 using this feat, the opponent must make a Will
save or fall unconscious. You can only use this feat against foes of the Humanoid type.
Special: A fighter may select Improved Chi Disruption as one of his fighter bonus feats.

Mobile Mastery [Tactical]
You’ve found that understanding the influence of footwork and motion on a battle can be the keys to victory.
Prerequisites: Intelligence 13, Dexterity 15, Dodge, Mobility, Base Attack Bonus +9
Benefit: You gain access to three tactical maneuvers when wearing light or no armor.
• Clever Footing: If your opponent attacks and misses you in melee combat and you have enough of your full base
land speed "left over" from your previous turn, you may choose to take a five-foot step immediately after your
opponent’s attack.
• Tactical Maneuvering: When making a full attack, you may choose to make a five-foot step between each attack,
though you may not move any further than your base land speed during one turn. This feat can also be used with
consecutive uses of the Cleave feat, or in any such situation where multiple attacks are done consecutively during
your turn.
• Press the Advantage: You may choose to forego a move action during you turn in order to follow cowardly
opponents that turn their backs. In doing so, you may follow an opponent up to your base land speed on his turn.
Your opponent still provokes attacks of opportunity if his motion would have carried him out of your threatened
area and another if his motion actually does take him out your threatened area. This feat cannot be used to move in
any direction or for any purpose other than to follow your opponent.

Parry Defense [General, Fighter]
You have learned the value of deflecting your opponent’s strikes, leaving them open to counterattack.
Prerequisites: Combat Expertise, Combat Reflexes, Base Attack Bonus +5, Dexterity 13
Benefit: If an opponent attacks you and misses while you’re using Combat Expertise to increase your armor class,
you get an immediate attack of opportunity against him, counting against your number of attacks of opportunity for
the round.

Point-Blank Blast [Bending]
You are skilled at aiming with your bending abilities at close range
Prerequisites: Base attack bonus +6, the ability to use a bending Blast
Benefit: You can apply precision-based damage with your Blast when targeting an opponent within 30 feet of
yourself. This does not work on forms using any seed other than the bender's Blast, only the Blast itself.
Normal: You can't apply precision-based damage to a Blast.

Redirect Charge [Bending, Fighter]
Prerequisite: 6 ranks in Airbending, Earthbending, or Waterbending
Benefit: You are able to redirect the movements of a charging opponent, causing it to pass over or around you. To
use this maneuver, you must ready an action, similar to setting a weapon against a charge. When a charging
opponent enters your threat range, you make a Bending check opposed by the charging opponent’s attack roll. If you
succeed, the target continues on in a straight line for the remainder of its movement. The target of a successful
Redirect Charge attempt must move its entire allowable distance. It does not provoke an attack of opportunity for
leaving any squares you threaten, but it does provoke attacks of opportunity as normal from other creatures. If you
are an earthbender or a waterbender, you and the charging creature must be standing on a bendable surface (earth,
soil, stone or similar for an earthbender, water, ice or snow for a waterbender) to use this feat.
Normal: You can ready an action to attack an opponent who charges you.
Special: A fighter may select Redirect Charge as one of his fighter bonus feats.

Sharpshooting [General, Fighter]
Prerequisites: Precise Shot, Dexterity 13
Benefit: As a Full-Round Action, you do nothing else other than aim at your target using this feat. You may keep
aiming at your target for as long as you wish, and each round adds a +2 to your next attack roll against that target
(max +5). You fire the shot as a free action the round after you've finished aiming. If you are in a threatened square,
are the subject of any attack, or lose sight of your target, you lose the benefits of this feat until you start aiming
again.

Solitary Strike [Tactical]
The power and versatility of a single strike is all that it takes to swing the battle in your favor.
Prerequisites: Weapon Focus (any non-light slashing weapon), Base Attack Bonus +8
Benefits: You gain access to three tactical maneuvers when wielding a one-handed weapon by itself.
• Swath – As a standard action, you may make an attack with an arc so wide that it targets opponents in four adjacent
squares within your reach; making as single attack roll against all the targets and taking a -4 penalty on this attack.
• Lunge – As a standard action, you may lunge forward, extending your body to the fullest, and deliver a single
attack against an opponent usually beyond your reach. When using this maneuver, you effectively extend your reach
by 5 feet for the attack, provoking attacks of opportunity (including from your opponent, if he can reach you).
• Finisher Cut – By making an attack as a standard action and taking -2 on the attack roll, you may make an attack
dealing double damage on a successful hit.

Stunning Fist [General]
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Wis 13, Improved Unarmed Strike, base attack bonus +4
Benefit: You must declare that you are using this feat before you make your attack roll (thus, a failed attack roll
ruins the attempt). Stunning Fist forces a foe damaged by your unarmed attack to make a Fortitude saving throw
(DC 10 + ½ your character level + your Wis modifier), in addition to dealing damage normally. A defender who
fails this saving throw is stunned for 1 round (until just before your next action). A stunned creature drops
everything held, can’t take actions, takes a -2 penalty to AC, and loses his Dexterity bonus to AC. You may attempt
a stunning attack a number of times per day equal to your character level and no more than once per round.
Constructs, oozes, plants, undead, incorporeal creatures, and creatures immune to critical hits cannot be stunned.
Special:A fighter may select Stunning Fist as one of his fighter bonus feats.

Sundering Blast [Bending]
Prerequisites: Ability to use any bending Blast, Point Blank Shot, BAB +6
Benefit: You can use your bending blast to make a sunder attack against an opponents weapon or armor. Your blast
must be able to deal direct damage in order to be used for sundering. Blasts count as one-handed weapons for the
purpose of resolving sunder attempts. You must be within 30 ft of the target to use this feat.
Normal: You can only make a sunder attack with a slashing or bludgeoning melee weapon.

Template Mastery [Bending]
Choose a single template bending seed that you know.
Prerequisites: 8 ranks in any bending skill
Benefit: Whenever you use a form that can have the chosen template applied to it, the template is automatically
applied with -5 taken away from its base DC. The base DC added by a template seed can never go below 5.
Special: This feat may be taken several times. Its effects do not stack; instead, it may be used to apply to different
templates.

A Thousand Cuts [Tactical]
You’ve found that opponents can seldom cope with the devastation caused by repeated attacks.
Prerequisites: Weapon Focus (any light or one-handed bladed weapon), Base Attack Bonus +6, Dexterity 13
Benefit: This feat enables you to use three tactical maneuvers when wielding any light or one-handed bladed
weapon to which you have applied the Weapon Focus feat in one hand.
• Manyslice – When making a full attack with your chosen weapon, you may take -4 to all attacks that round to gain
an additional attack at your highest base attack bonus.
• Double Counter - When readying an action to strike an opponent that comes within your reach, you may ready two
attacks instead of one, using your base attack bonus normally.
• Shower of Sparks - You may make numerous, weak hits against an opponent to cause great injury, just as many
small sparks do. You make a single melee attack against an opponent as a full-round action. If that attack hits,
decrease the attack roll by -2; if the reduced roll still hits the opponent, apply damage and continue reducing the
attack roll until an attack misses. The opponent takes damage normally hit by the first attack, and each additional
attack deals 1d4 damage. These attacks are all quick stabs (dealing piercing damage).

Waterbending Study [Bending]
By studying the arts of the ebb and flow of the tides like a waterbender, a bender may use those principles in
bending their own element.
Earth - The earthbender learns that water may carve canyons and may apply this technique to his earthbending. The
earthbender may add his Wisdom modifier to rolls to overcome another bender's Deflect Bending attempts.
Air - By studying the effects of pressure on water, an airbender may learn to better focus his energies with
pressurized air. The airbender may now make an air blast attack as if he were a waterbender of equal level. The
damage from this attack is non-lethal. If the airbender possesses the Air Scythe seed, he may now do lethal damage
with that attack, regardless of whether or not he has a staff.
Fire - Redirect Lightning: A firebender can use a Deflect Bending action to redirect any lightning bolts (natural or
otherwise) passing within 5 feet of the firebender. Because the bender is essentially letting the lightning hit him, this
seed does not require an attack roll, as opposed to Deflect Bending. It does, however, require a DC 35 Firebending
check to initiate the maneuver.
The firebender must make a DC 15 Concentration check to ensure that the lightning doesn’t pass through his heart
as he channels it to his other hand. Failure indicates that the firebender takes the appropriate damage for the
lightning, and he fails to redirect it. On a successful check, the firebender channels the lightning to the other side of
his body, redirecting it as he desires.

Where There Is Life, There Is Water [Bending]
One of waterbending’s greatest weaknesses is its dependence on an external supply of water. However, powerful
waterbenders know that water can be found in many places, if only you know where to look.
Prerequisites: Waterbending 12 ranks, Manipulate
Benefit: With a successful DC 20 Waterbending check, you can use the Manipulate ability as a move action to draw
water from the air. Enough water can be drawn from the air to use the Water Blast, Water Whip, Ice Shards, or
Healing Water seeds.

Alternatively, you can use the Manipulate ability as a move action to draw water from a single plant or creature
within your bending range. Creatures affected by this ability take 2d6 points of Constitution damage. Creatures can

make a Fortitude Save (DC 10 + half your class level + your Wisdom modifier) to negate this damage and cause the
drawing of water to fail. A waterbender can only use this ability on a single creature or plant at a time, and each
Medium-sized creature or plant produces the equivalent of one 5 ft cube of water.

Finally, by increasing the Waterbending DC of a seed by +15, you can use this feat as part of using the seed.
Normal: A Waterbender must have some source of water, snow, or ice nearby to perform her bending.
Special: When in dry are such as a desert, the Waterbender must make a DC 30 Waterbending check to collect water
from the air. Additionally drawing out water in such an area while executing any form increases the DC by +35. In
an area of high moisture such as a swamp or seacoast, drawing out water in such an area while executing any form
increases the DC by +5.

Skills
Knowledge (Int; Trained Only)
Like the Craft and Profession skills, Knowledge actually encompasses a number of unrelated skills. Knowledge
represents a study of some body of lore, possibly an academic or even scientific discipline.

Below are listed typical fields of study.

• Arcana – ancient mysteries, arcane symbols, cryptic phrases, mystic practices
• Architecture & Engineering – buildings, aqueducts, bridges, fortifications, war machinery
• Bending Arts – bending forms, bending philosophies
• Dungeoneering – caverns, spelunking, subterranean creatures
• Geography – lands, terrain, climate, people
• History – royalty, wars, colonies, migrations, founding of cities
• Local – legends, personalities, inhabitants, laws, customs, traditions, humanoids
• Nature – animals, plants, seasons and cycles, weather, vermin
• Nobility & Royalty – lineages, heraldry, family trees, mottoes, personalities
• Religion – the spirits, religious practices and symbolism, philosophy

Check
Answering a question within your field of study has a DC of 10 (for really easy questions), 15 (for basic questions),
or 20 to 30 (for really tough questions).

In many cases, you can use this skill to identify monsters and their special powers or vulnerabilities. In general, the
DC of such a check equals 10 + the monster’s HD. A successful check allows you to remember a bit of useful
information about that monster.

For every 5 points by which your check result exceeds the DC, you recall another piece of useful information.

Action
Usually none. In most cases, making a Knowledge check doesn’t take an action—you simply know the answer or
you don’t.

Try Again
No. The check represents what you know, and thinking about a topic a second time doesn’t let you know something
that you never learned in the first place.

Synergy
• If you have 5 or more ranks in Knowledge (Bending Arts), you gain a +2 synergy bonus on Bending
checks.

New Knowledge Uses
• Knowledge (Arcana) can be used in conjunction with various aids (bones, palm lines, fire omens, etc.) to
predict the future. Using Knowledge (Arcana) in this matter requires at least five minute of examination
and contemplation, as the fortune-teller manipulates the aids and attempts to decipher their meanings.
Using Knowledge (Arcana) in this way is difficult and requires substantial training.
• A DC 20 check will tell the fortune-teller whether a particular action will be good or bad for the subject of
the reading. If the fortune-teller succeeds in this check, she gets one of four results: Positive, Negative,
Both Positive and Negative, or Inconclusive

This use of Knowledge (Arcana) allows the fortune-teller to predict events up to two days in the future.
This information has a 70% chance of being correct. For every point by which the fortune-teller exceeds
the base DC, the percent chance of correct information increases by 1% to a maximum of 90%.

• A DC 30 check will tell the fortune-teller a bit of useful (if vague) information about a specific action up to
one week in the future. This information has a 70% chance of being correct (though often the information is
vague enough that multiple situations will allow it to be correct). For every point by which the fortune-
teller exceeds the base DC, the percent chance of correct information increases by 1% to a maximum of
90%.

• A DC 35 check will tell the fortune-teller general information about a subject’s future, providing vague
information for up to 1 year in the future. For every 2 by which the fortune-teller’s Knowledge (Arcana)
check exceeds the base DC, the fortune-teller receives information about an additional year.

Note that practitioners of fortune-telling use multiple methods to aid them, and that this use of the skill
cannot be used without some sort of physical aid. Bones, fire, palm lines, head bumps, cloud pictures,
celestial patterns, and sacred texts are all common aids. Using multiple methods provides a +2
circumstance bonus on this check. In addition, a fortune-teller who has a personal relationship with the
subject (more significant than a first-time acquaintance) gains a +2 circumstance bonus on this check.

Finally, note that practitioners of fortune-telling often embellish the information they give. It also is not
unheard of for fortune-tellers to give outright false information. DM’s should feel free to provide more or
less information as they feel necessary for their campaigns.

• Knowledge (Nature) can be used to identify and employ healing plants and animals. There are many plants
and roots both blooming and hidden throughout the world whose medicinal properties can only be
harnessed by those that know how to bring them out. If you succeed on a check to identify an herb's use, it
means you know the herb's properties as well as how to prepare it in order to bring it out. Failing a check
by 4 or less means that you vaguely know what the herb does, but may be foggy on how to use it. Failing
the check by 5 or more means that you don't know the herb's uses and may even have false information,
which could lead to dire results as some plants are venomous if used incorrectly.

Wilderness Lore - Rangers (and NPC experts) can use this skill to even greater extents in order to find the plants
themselves in the wild. A ranger may use his knowledge and experience in the natural environment to identify plants
with uses both medicinal and poisonous. Whenever a ranger uses the Survival skill to forage for food, he may also
make a Knowledge (nature) check to identify herbs with useful properties. If the Knowledge check exceeds the DC
of each herb and if it is present in the area the ranger searches through, the ranger may gather it and apply it as
noted in each herb's description.

• Ginger Root (DC 5) - Found almost anywhere in lightly to densely forested environments, this root has a
strong, sharp flavor and is often used to flavor food. When boiled in water to make tea, ginger root fortifies
the body's immune system, granting a +2 to fortitude saves against disease for one day. The average ginger
root can weigh anywhere from two to eight ounces depending on size, and it takes half an ounce to make a
cup of ginger tea.
• Wumei (Plum) (DC 5) - Commonly found on plum trees in any deciduous forest, this specially prepared
fruit is a very common medicine used for strengthening the body as opposed to healing it. One fruit grants a
+2 bonus on all fortitude saves for 10 minutes. Additional fruits extend this duration by 10 minutes up to a
maximum of 1 hour per day. Collecting takes a single move action per fruit and the preparing takes 1 hour
for every 100 fruits, and there may be anywhere from 20 to 40 plums on a single tree during the spring.
Eating at least one plum fruit every day for at least two weeks makes the bonus on Fortitude saves
continuous for as long as one eats at least one plum a day. Missing a day once the two weeks are complete
has no effect, though missing four or more consecutive days removes the bonus and two more weeks of
eating plum are necessary to get it back. The average plum weighs 4 to eight ounces, depending on size and
ripeness.

• Sandalwood (Oil) (DC 15) - The oil of the Sandalwood tree is full of nutrients and curative agents that heal
the skin. It takes one minute to harvest one square foot of bark from the sandalwood tree and one hour to
prepare Sandalwood oil which requires 2gp worth of normal oil. Once prepared, the Sandalwood oil
mixture can be applied to any burn, blemish, or other skin injury for 10 minutes to completely remove the
effect. Sandalwood Oil cures 3d8 non-lethal damage with a single dose as well as 1d8+3 damage dealt by
fire or acid. Pure Sandalwood Oil is extremely potent and should never be used, if pure Sandalwood Oil is
used it causes 1d6 damage which cannot be healed except by the Healing Waters seed. Sandalwood Oil (in
pure form) can also be used as a laxative that effects the drinker 1 minute after being taken causing the
drinker to make a DC20 fortitude save or become nauseated. Sandalwood Oil has a distinct smell and taste
which can be identified by a DC 5 Knowledge (Nature) check. Sandalwood bark weighs half a pound per
square foot, sandalwood oil weighs the same as regular oil. Cost: 5gp per dose, 10gp per dose of pure oil
• Frozen Wood Frogs (DC 20) - These frogs produce a potent medicinal slime that has the ability to cure
even deadliest of diseases. By sucking on the frog for a continuous 2 hours, a patient is cured of any and all
of the following conditions: confused, dazed, nauseated, and sickened. The frog's secretions are also a
powerful medicine, and they may be used to cure any physical disease with a Fortitude save DC of 20 or
lower. The frogs must have been frozen for at least a week before enough of the slime is produced to have
any effect. The frozen frogs are actually quite tasty both raw and cooked, though few people would suffer
the indignity of eating the animal. The frogs thaw out of their frozen state within a period of 1d2+4 hours.

Chapter 5 - Weapons and Equipment

Weapons

Airbender's Staff
Two-Handed Simple Melee Weapon
Damage: 1d6/1d6
Critical: 20/x2
Range Increment: -
Type: Bludgeoning
Weight: 2 lbs
Cost: NA
Special
The Airbender Staff counts as a quarterstaff in terms of proficiency and weapon-based feats, and is always
considered a masterwork weapon. The Airbender Staff can also unfold into a glider by pushing a simple lever in the
side, allowing the airbender's ability to fly, though it doesn't grant any special benefits to non-airbenders.

The Airbending Staff is included in the airbender's basic motions, and thus can be held without penalty while
executing airbending forms.The staff also grants a +1 to any Airbending checks made while wielding it, and affects
airbending seeds in different ways (see the individual seeds for details).

Dai Li Shackles
Earthbending Version
These shackles consist of expertly-crafted chains and manacles with small quantities of earth mixed in with the iron.
They can be worn around the wrists and concealed in the sleeves of a character’s robes, and they grant the wearer a
+2 bonus to Slight of Hand checks to conceal them.

Dai Li shackles can be used to initiate a grapple check at a distance of up to 20 feet. Doing so requires a DC 15
Earthbending check. If you are successful at grappling the target, the target cannot move beyond the maximum
range of the shackles. Additionally, you can pull the target toward you as a move action by making a successful
Earthbending check opposed by the target’s Strength check or Earthbending check (see the rules for contested
bending). If you are successful, the target ends up prone in the closest square adjacent to you. You can also use Dai
Li shackles to initiate a trip attempt.

Price: 200 gp Weight: 5 lbs

Non-Bending Version
These shackles consist of expertly-crafted chains and manacles with a powerful launching device at their base. They
can be worn around the wrists and concealed in the sleeves of a character’s robes, and they grant the wearer a +2
bonus to Slight of Hand checks to conceal them.

Dai Li shackles can be used to initiate a grapple check at a distance of up to 20 feet. If you are successful at
grappling the target, the target cannot move beyond the maximum range of the shackles. Additionally, you can pull
the target toward you as a move action by making a successful opposed Strength check against the target. If you are
successful, the target ends up prone in the closest square adjacent to you. You can also use Dai Li shackles to initiate
a trip attempt.

Price: 300 gp Weight: 7 lbs

Sandbender Capture Cord
Two-Handed Exotic Melee Weapon
Damage: -
Critical: -
Range Increment: 10 ft
Type: -
Weight: 6 lbs
Cost: 10 gp
Special
This useful item is essentially a bag of sand tied to the end of a long rope, and has been used by sandbender bandits
for as long as memory serves. The cord is 50 feet long and can be used to make trip attacks because of the weight of
the bag at the end. The main usage of this weapon is to trip and entangle opponents, as it does no actual damage. A
capture cord is treated as a thrown weapon that can only be thrown a maximum distance controlled by the length of
its rope. Using a sandbander capture cord provokes attacks of opportunity.

A sandbender capture cord can be used to make trip attacks. If a trip is successful, the target of the trip must make a
DC 15 Escape Artist check as a move action or take a full-round action to escape from the rope wrapped around his
feet. The rope may also be cut by dealing 6 points of damage to it with a slashing weapon.

The primary use of the Sandbender capture cord is to hogtie and capture animals for sale. In order to do this, you
must make a ranged attack roll against a creature. If the attack roll succeeds, you may begin a grapple against the
opponent. If multiple people use a capture cord in this way against a single opponent, then the highest grapple check
is used as a base roll, and each additional combatant to successfully initiate a grapple grants a bonus of 2 + half his
Strength bonus (rounded down, if any) to the main grapple.

Once pinned, an opponent may be tied up with a Use Rope check, though he may attempt a grapple or Escape Artist
check to break free once per turn while this is taking place. Keep in mind that the overall grapple check will
decrease if one of the rope users is the one to tie the knot.

Tiger Head Hook Swords
One-Handed Exotic Melee Weapon
Damage: 1d6 (primary) OR 1d4 (cross guard and hilt spike)
Critical: 20/x2 (primary) OR 19-20/x2 (cross guard) OR 20/x3 (hilt spike)
Range Increment: -
Type: Slashing (primary and cross guard) OR Piercing (hilt spike)
Weight: 3 lbs
Cost: 800 gp

Special
Tiger Head Hook Swords are always sold as a set of two Masterwork weapons, which is reflected in the above cost.

The different blades of a set of Tiger Head Hook Swords are used for different purposes and have different benefits
and drawbacks. Only one blade may be used per round, with the player choosing which blade to employ at the
beginning of his or her turn. Striking with the primary blade (the long hooked blade) grants the wielder a +2 bonus
to Trip and Disarm attempts. Striking with the cross guard grants the user a +2 shield bonus to AC when fighting
defensively, using Combat Expertise, or taking a total defensive action. Finally, the hilt spike may be used while
grappling as a dagger, but striking with it outside of a grapple results in a -2 penalty to attack rolls.

Tiger Head Hook Swords count as one weapon for the purpose of enhancements; while a one-handed weapon, you
may wield two as if they were light weapons; may be used with weapon finesse, but not with power attack. All
bonuses when wielding two Tiger Head Hook swords stack (i.e. you get +4 to Trip and Disarm attempts), but if you
opt to drop a weapon due to a failed trip attempt, you must drop both if you used both bonuses. You may use the
hooks to hang on to an outcropping, branch, etc.

Twin Dao and Dao
One-Handed Martial (dao) or Exotic Melee Weapon (twin dao)

Weight: 4 lbs
Cost: 10 gp (dao) OR 400 gp (twin dao)

Special
The twin dao is both a single weapon and a set of two weapons. Both are masterwork, and fit into the same scabbard
as though they were a single sword. Twin dao must be used as a set; attempting to use a single twin dao as a normal
dao gives a -4 penalty to attack rolls due to the strange balance the swords have. A twin dao may, however, be used
as a single sword when held together. All feats that apply to normal dao (such as Weapon Focus) also apply to twin
dao, whether used as a single sword or when used as a set.

When used as a pair, one in each hand, however, the twin dao show their true colours. They are perfectly balanced
for wielding in two hands; while they are one-handed weapons, they can be used as if they were light for the
purposes of two-weapon fighting, but only when paired together. Additionally, the wielder may add their full
strength bonus to damage to both dao as if wielding them in their primary hand.

Twin dao are a Fire Nation weapon. If the wielder is a Firebender, and has the Channel Blast feat, they may
Firebend as normal even with both hands occupied

Mundane Item Enhancement System
Masterwork Items
All weapons, armor, shields, and tools can gain up to 5 levels of masterwork. This levels are as follows in order:
Item of... Masterwork, Renown, Fame, Glory, Legend. All bonuses that the masterwork quality applies are
multiplied by the level of masterwork of the item. Additional levels of masterwork cannot be gained, only created as
such. You must meet the prerequisite level to benefit from a certain level of masterwork as shown by the table
below.

Character Level Maximum Masterwork Level
1-3 1
4-7 2
8-11 3
12-16 4
17-20 5

In addition to the masterwork levels, any weapon or armor can gain craftsmanship bonuses up to twice their
masterwork level. These bonuses can be applied during crafting or afterwards with a 10% price increase with the
exception of the AC and Damage increases. Each bonus cost 1000gp base cost.

No item can have more than 1 craftsmanship bonus of the same name at a time. Additionally, if a bonus has different
ranks as indicated by roman numerals, you may apply a higher rank over the lower rank by only paying the
difference in cost.

Weapon Craftsmanship Bonuses

Balanced
By keeping the weight of a weapon uniform throughout, with a bit more being put into the handle, a craftsman can
make a weapon uniquely suited to being used in one hand alongside another. Balanced weapons lower the penalties
for two-weapon by 2 when used in one hand. This may never result in an actual bonus when two-weapon fighting.

Barbed
By putting sharp spikes into the heads of ammunition, a craftsman creates a weapon that continues to damage the
interior of those unfortunate enough to be hit by it, possibly causing internal bleeding. Anyone hit by a barbed
weapon continues to take 2 points of damage for 1d4 rounds, beginning on the round after the weapon strikes.
Multiple hits do not stack damage, but prolong the duration.

Damage Increase
By adding increased weight and penetration to a weapon's striking portions, a craftsman can allow it to deal
additional damage in steps. Each level of damage increase increases the damage dealt by the number of the step.
Thus, a weapon with Damage Increase IV would deal an additional 4 damage.

Defending
Defending weapons have their balanced shifted in greater proportion towards the haft or hilt. You may transfer some
or all of a defending weapon's masterwork bonus to attack into your AC at the start of your turn, before using the
weapon. This transfer lasts until the start of your next turn and the bonus stacks with all others, including the use of
Combat Expertise.

Distance
Distance weapons are ranged weapons or ammunition designed for especially far shots, and are often very taut or
tense when ready for use. Distance arrows or stones are extremely smooth to prevent any air resistance possible.
Weapons with this enhancement double their range increment. Using a distance weapon alongside distance
ammunition instead triples the weapon's range increment.

Heavy
Heavy weapons are built thicker than most weapons, and gain additional momentum and penetration power, but are
unwieldy as a result. Weighted weapons gain an additional 2 hit points and gain a +1 to damage, but suffer a -2 to
attack rolls. In addition, heavy weapons increase their weight by 20%

Keen Edge
Weapons forged with keen edges are exceptionally sharp, allowing them to score devastating hits more often. This
enhancement doubles a weapon's critical threat range.

Light
Light weapons are designed for ease of use and precision, but are relatively frail and lack penetration power. Light
weapons gain a +2 to attack rolls, but suffer a -1 to damage rolls and have 1 less hit point than other weapons of
their type. In addition, light weapons lower their weight by 20%

Loaded
Loaded ammunition are made with heavier throughout and meant for powerful, close range strikes. Loaded weapons
count as one size category larger for the purposes of damage, but cuts the weapon's range increment in half. Loaded
ammunition cancels out the bonus granted by a distance weapon.

Long-Hafted
Polearms designed for the express of purpose of keeping opponents at bay are often made with especially long hafts
in order to gain an advantage. A long-hafted polearm extends its reach by 5 feet, but it no longer threatens the five
feet closest to the wielder that a standard weapon of its type would before applying this craftsmanship bonus.

Penetrating
Ammunition designed to tear through armor or deprive enemies of cover can be a great asset to a ranged attacker.
Penetrating weapons or ammunition ignores hardness equal to its masterwork level.

Serrated
By carving small, sharp notches into the blade or point of a weapon, a craftsman can cause it to inflict cruel wounds
that bleed profusely, dealing additional damage. Any creature hit with a serrated weapon bleeds an additional 2
damage for 1d4 rounds, beginning on the round after the weapon strikes. Multiple hits do not stack damage, but
prolong the duration.

Shattering
The bane of many arrow-snatchers and deflectors, shattering ammunition comes prepared to break at the slightest
provocation, biting even into opponents that had blocked the missile. Shattering weapons suffer a -2 penalty to
damage rolls, but deal normal damage even to opponents that grab the ammunition or deflect, such as through the
Snatch Arrows feat or Deflect Attack class ability.

Weighted
By placing additional weight at the very end of bludgeoning weapon's head, a craftsman makes it more likely for a
weapon to deal devastating blows that can crush bone or shatter shields. A weighted weapon doubles its critical
threat range.

Armor Craftsmanship Bonuses

Bending
A design first perfected by the military armorsmiths of the Fire Nation under Firelord Souzin, bending armor is
designed with extra room around the arms and a greater range of motion in the shoulder and thigh guards to allow
the mobility necessary for firebenders to be effective even when armored. Bending armor does not double its armor
check penalty when applied to Airbending, Earthbending, Firebending, or Waterbending checks, but does apply its
penalty once. This craftsmanship bonus may not be applied to heavy armor.

Damage Reduction Increase
By adding additional layers of chain links or plates or simply by making the armor thicker, a craftsman may increase
its protective ability significantly. Each level of damage deduction increase increases the armor's damage reduction
by the amount of the level, though an armor's total damage reduction may never increase past double its base.

Ergonomic
A craftsmanship style reserved for quick and agile fighters, ergonomic armor is particularly spacious, allowing the
wearer to use greater dexterity while fighting. Ergonomic armor has its Dexterity increased by 1 for every level of
the bonus it has.

Fire Retardant
The origin of this revolutionary armor design is unknown, but it has the potential to save many that would otherwise
be more victims of the Fire Nation's military force. By angling the surfaces of an armor to disperse the heat of a fire,
the armor can protect against heat being directed at its wearer. This means that the armor does not protect against
standing in a fire or anything that does not involve heat being launched at the wearer.

Lined
Many smiths of the Northern and Southern Water Tribes do not even realize that this is an optional ability for armor,
as it is basic to survival in their territories. Lined armor protects against extreme cold through a layer of animal fur
and insulation, granting cold resistance 5. In addition, lined armor grants a +4 to Fortitude saves against the effects
of cold environments.

Reinforced
An invaluable style of armor for guards and law enforcement in crime-infested areas, reinforced armor puts special
emphasis on vital areas of the wearer's body, protecting it from otherwise lethal blows from rogues and critical hits.
Reinforced armor has a 25% chance of negating any precision damage targeted at the wearer.

Shield Craftsmanship Bonuses
Name Level Effect
Bashing 1 Shield bash deals damage as if two sizes larger
Reinforced 1 25% to negate critical hit and/or precision damage
Deflecting 5 Grants a bonus to Deflect Attack attempts equal to the shield's AC bonus

Shield Craftsmanship Bonuses
Bashing
Designed for offensive use, bashing shields can be applied to ram opponents through a metal weight in the shield's
front. A bashing shield deals damage as if it were a weapon of two size categories larger (a Medium light shield thus
deals 1d6 points of damage and a Medium heavy shield deals 1d8 points of damage). The shield acts as a +1 weapon
when used to bash. (Only light and heavy shields can have this ability.

Reinforced
Commonly used by guards and warriors assigned to maintain order in seedy areas, reinforced shields put special
emphasis on vital areas of the wearer's body, protecting it from otherwise lethal blows from rogues and critical hits.
Reinforced shields have a 25% chance of negating any precision damage targeted at the wearer. This bonus stacks
with that of reinforced armor, but is only applied against opponents that the user is aware of.

Deflecting
By placing the majority of a shield's weight in the very center of the shield, a craftsman may make it incredibly easy
to move around and use to block specific attacks. Deflecting shields grant a bonus on opposed attack roles of the
Deflect Arrows feat and the Deflect Attack class ability for benders equal to their armor bonus.

Equipment

Chi Enhancing Tea
This rare tea is brewed from the leaves of a plant that creates a natural stimulant. It has been known to increase the
drinker's energy tenfold for a short period of time. Consuming a cup of this tea grants the drinker a Haste effect (as
the spell) lasting one minute.

Preparing this special tea is difficult, and requires a DC 20 Profession (Herbalist) or Profession (Tea Maker) check
or a DC 25 Profession (Cook) check.

Price: 50 gp/dose

Dynamite Stick
This powerful weapon is essentially explosive powder or blasting jelly stuffed into a tough outer coating and
equipped with a fuse to ignite it. You can throw a dynamite stick as a splash weapon or light its fuse and let it
explode on its own. In any case, it is a move action to light a dynamite stick's fuse with a torch or other fire source.
Some dynamite sticks are equipped with a piece of sulfur paper on their fuses, allowing them to be lit as a swift
action instead.

Since dynamite sticks are sometimes used as weapons and sometimes as mining tools or signal devices, the fuse may
be so short that the stick explodes within two or three seconds after being lit (allowing it to explode as soon as you
throw it), or it may be long enough to explode several rounds or even minutes after the fuse is lit. Regardless of the
length of the fuse, however, dynamite sticks have a 20% chance of exploding for every point of fire damage they
take, and immediately explode if they take 5 or more points of fire damage.

Upon exploding, dynamite deals 1d6 fire damage in a 10-foot radius, and 3d6 bludgeoning damage in a 20-foot
radius. If there are small rocks or other damaging objects that would serve as shrapnel in this radius, they deal
between 1d6 and 3d6 piercing damage, at DM discretion. The radius increases by 5 feet for every four sticks of
dynamite used, up to a maximum of 16 sticks of dynamite. Thus, four sticks tied together would have a 4d6 fire
damage in a 15-foot radius and 12d6 bludgeoning damage in a 25-foot radius.

Throwing several sticks of dynamite together is cumbersome, though, and attack rolls suffer a cumulative -2 for
every stick of dynamite past the first in the bunch, and the range increment is decreased from 10 ft to 5 ft for 4 or
more stick of dynamite.

Price: 150 gp (75 gp for Fire Nation soldiers) Weight: 1/2 lb

Iron Bomb
This powerful weapon is essentially explosive powder or blasting jelly poured into a ball of cast iron, placed under
pressure, and equipped with a fuse. You can throw an iron bomb as a splash weapon or light its fuse and let it
explode on its own. In any case, it is a move action to light an iron bomb's fuse with a torch or other fire source.
Some bombs are equipped with a piece of sulfur paper on their fuses, allowing them to be lit as a swift action instead
of a move action.

Since iron bombs are generally used as weapons, the fuse may be so short that the bomb explodes within two or
three seconds after being lit (allowing it to explode as soon as you throw it), or it may be long enough to explode
several rounds or even minutes after the fuse is lit. Because iron is not flammable, iron bombs do not run a risk of
accidental explosion, though the fuse of an unattended bomb may be accidentally lit if it takes any amount of fire
damage.

Upon exploding, iron bombs deal 1d6 fire damage in a 10-foot radius and 3d6 bludgeoning damage in a 20-foot
radius, and the hot iron shell explodes outwards, dealing 2d6 piercing damage in a 40-foot radius. If there are
additional materials that could serve as shrapnel present, the bomb may deal an additional 1d6 to 3d6 damage, at
DM discretion.

Price: 300 gp (150 gp for Fire Nation soldiers) Weight: 1/2 lb

Smoke Bomb
Smoke bombs are small spherical devices consisting of an outer container made of thin wood or metal, some powder
or other smoke-generating agent, and a very small quantity of explosive. When smoke bombs strike a hard surface,
they explode, dealing no damage but covering a 10 foot radius with thick smoke. This smoke obscures all sight
beyond 5 feet. A creature within 5 feet has concealment (attacks have a 20% miss chance). Creatures farther away
have total concealment (50% miss chance, and the attacker can’t use sight to locate the target).

A moderate wind (11+ mph) disperses the smoke in 4 rounds; a strong wind (21+ mph) disperses the smoke in 1
round. Smoke bombs do not function underwater.

Smoke bombs can be crafted with a DC 25 Craft (alchemy) skill check.

Price: 20 gp Weight: 1/2 lb

Spirit Oasis Water [Major Artifact]
This water can be found at only one location; the Spirit Oasis at the north pole. The water has special properties that
enhance a waterbender's healing abilities. When used in conjunction with the Healing Water form, Spirit Oasis
Water creates an effect identical to the True Resurrection spell, except that the subject of the effect is restored to one
hit point and remains unconscious for 1d4 weeks. In addition, the subject's body must be more-or-less intact for the
effect to work, and any permanent damage to the body (missing limbs, major scars, etc.) remain after resurrection.
Finally, this effect only works within 1 hour of the subject's death.

Tangle Mine
Tangle mines are large, buoyant, spherical containers filled with seaweed, stinkfish, and a small amount of
explosives. Too large and unwieldy to be thrown, they are usually floated on the surface of a body of water. They
are deployed at strategic maritime locations (the mouths of rivers, around harbors, etc.) to prevent the passage of
propeller-driven boats and ships. When detonated, the mines explode, covering the boat with seaweed and stinkfish,
entangling the propeller and unleashing a foul stench.

Tangle mines detonate when struck by a creature or object of size Huge or larger. When detonated, a tangle mine
deals 4d6 fire damage to all creatures and objects within a 10 foot radius. Additionally, any propeller-driven ship
that strikes a tangle mine has its movement rate reduced by half. If the ship strikes multiple tangle mines, the
movement reductions stack. Any ship that has its movement rate reduced to less than 5 feet by tangle mines is
rendered immobile. Creatures struck by a tangle mine must make a DC 15 Reflex save or be entangled.

In addition to their immobilizing properties, the overpowering stench of a tangle mine also affects the sailors of the
vessel. All creatures within a 50 foot radius of the tangle mine must make a DC 15 Fortitude save or be sickened.
Additionally, all creatures within the radius must make a DC 15 Will save or be compelled to move away from the
tangle mine as quickly as possible, even abandoning the ship if necessary to escape the smell. If a creature
successfully saves against either of these effects, it is immune to that specific effect for 24 hours, even if it is the
result of a different tangle mine detonation.

Tangle mines can be crafted with a DC 25 Craft (alchemy) or Craft (trapmaking) check.

Price: 50 gp, Weight: 10 lb

Chapter 6 - Prestige Classes

Dai Li Agent
The Dai Li are the cultural enforcers of Ba Sing Se. They are under the direct command of Long Feng, the culture
minister, and function as a sort of secret police; arresting and re-educating anyone who breaks regulations
concerning mention of the war. In addition to distinct uniforms, they are notable for sporting stone gloves and shoes,
which can be used to great effect as weapons through Earthbending.

Though they serve the Earth King, they are loyal only to Long Feng. However, after the events of the coup d'état led
against the Earth Kingdom capitol, they have pledged loyalty to Azula. It is the Dai Li who are responsible for
tearing down Ba Sing Se's walls to allow the entrance of the Fire Nation army invasion force and the eventual firm
occupation of the capital city.

The Dai Li was actually created several centuries ago by Avatar Kyoshi to preserve the cultural heritage of Ba Sing
Se, in response to a peasant uprising against the government and forty sixth Earth King. She currently regrets having
created the Dai Li, as she had no idea how corrupt they would become at the time.

To qualify to become a Dai Li Agent, a character must fulfill all of the following criteria.
Skills: Earthbending 10 ranks, Hide 2 Ranks, Intimidate 8 ranks, Move Silently 2 ranks.

10th +7/+2 +3 +7 +7 Improved Evasion, Sneak Attack +4d6 4

Class features
Weapon and Armor Proficiency - Dai Li Agents gain no additional weapon or armor proficiencies.

Earthbender: The Earthbender class feature for Climbing increases with the Dai Li Agent's class level as if they
were Earthbender levels. The Dai Li Agent selects his seeds from traditional Earthbending seeds.

Grasp of the Dai Li: This technique of earthbending is a secret one dating back to the formation of the Dai Li by

Avatar Kyoshi. By coating their fists and forearms with a thin layer of stone to use their earthbending, they
minimize property damage and always have stone at hand, literally.
Flying Fist - By hardening the earth on his hands, the Dai Li may project it via his Earth Blast ability at a target in
the shape of his fist to cause grievious amounts of harm using the minimum amount of material. The precision of
this attack is almost surgical, allowing the Dai Li to add his sneak attack damage to this ability. Using Flying Fist
increases the earthbending check on the use of Earth Blast by +10.
Hand Cuff - By firing a flurry of stony hands, the Dai Li may use the Immobilize seed and use chains of stony hands
to render someone immobilized (as per the terms of the Immobilize seed) but still be able to be moved by the Dai Li
by simply moving them (with their own might or through earthbending). This increases the earthbending DC by +5
to use Immobilize in this way.

Sneak Attack: The Dai Li Agent gains the Sneak Attack class feature as a rogue of the same level. If the Dai Li
Agent possesses another class that grants the Sneak Attack class feature, then those levels stack with his levels in
Dai Li Agent.

Evasion (Ex:) At 2nd level and higher, a Dai Li can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If he
makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, he
instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if the Dai Li is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless Dai
Li Agent does not gain the benefit of evasion.

Trapfinding: A Dai Li Agent can use the Search skill to locate traps when the task has a Difficulty Class higher
than 20. Finding a nonmagical trap has a DC of at least 20, or higher if it is well hidden. A Dai Li who beats a trap’s
DC by 10 or more with a Disable Device check can study a trap, figure out how it works, and bypass it (with his
party) without disarming it.

Dai Li Authority: As the secret police of the Earth Kingdom, they are known of only through rumor and myth. The
Dai Li have the cultural authority to arrest, question, detain, or capture any member of the Earth Kingdom. They
also have the right to set warrants and bounties pending approval from their higher ranking officers, should their
quarry escape them.

Obscure Passage(Ex): Beginning at 3rd level, a Dai Li Agent is extraordinarily hard to be tracked along surfaces of
earthly material (stone, sand, dirt, etc; any material that the Dai Li Agent can bend). The Dai Li Agent adds twice his
Dai Li Agent level to the difficulty of the tracking roll.

Break Away (Ex): As skilled as he is, a Dai Li Agent knows the sensibility of falling back from an unwinnable
fight. Starting at 4th level, he gains a +4 dodge bonus to Armor Class in any round during which he makes a
withdrawal from combat action.

Teamwork Infiltration (Ex): Starting at 5th level, a Dai Li Agent can study a small area (typically up to 10 square
feet, such as a doorway or guard post) in order to prepare for infiltrating that area. If the Dai Li Agent spends 1 hour
studying the area from a distance of no more than 60 feet, he gains a +2 competence bonus on Balance, Climb,
Disable Device, Hide, Move Silently, Open Lock, Search, and Tumble checks attempted in that area for the next 24
hours. All allies within 30 feet of the Dai Li Agent gain the same bonus in that area (The allies need not be present
while the Dai Li Agent studies the area.) At 8th level, this bonus improves to +4.

Defensive Roll (Ex): At 6th level, the Dai Li Agent can roll with a potentially lethal blow to take less damage from
it than she otherwise would. Once per day, when she would be reduced to 0 or fewer hit points by damage in combat
(from a weapon or other blow, not a spell or special ability), the Dai Li Agent can attempt to roll with the damage.
To use this ability, the Dai Li Agent must attempt a Reflex saving throw (DC = damage dealt). If the save succeeds,
she takes only half damage from the blow; if it fails, she takes full damage. She must be aware of the attack and able
to react to it in order to execute her defensive roll—if she is denied her Dexterity bonus to AC, she can’t use this
ability. Since this effect would not normally allow a character to make a Reflex save for half damage, the Dai Li
Agent’s evasion ability does not apply to the defensive roll. The Dai Li Agent gains another use of this ability at 9th
level.

Improved Evasion (Ex): The Dai Li gains improved evasion as the Rogue special ability.

Disciple of Healing Waters

Among the water tribes, some exceptional waterbenders have been known to manifest the cooling power of water in
a profound and benevolent application of the element. Waterbenders that develop this talent find that the lifeblood of
living creatures is in actuality a system of thousands upon thousands of flowing rivers and streams, all
interconnected with the body’s streams of chi, so that proper understanding of both can apply the body’s energy to
heal itself with the flowing of healing waters throughout both systems.

Disciples of Healing Waters are generally kind-hearted and fairly powerful waterbenders that have had training in
the human body to understand its flow of energy as well as blood. While disciples continue to practice several
aspects of the general waterbending art, they are prone to eschewing combat in favor of healing; and try their hardest
not to harm opponents past what is absolutely necessary.

Hit Die - d6

To qualify to become a disciple of healing waters, a character must fulfill all of the following criteria.

Class features
All of the following are class features of the Disciple of Healing Waters prestige class.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency - Disciples of healing waters gain no additional weapon or armor proficiencies.
Greater Healing Waters – The first concept that a disciple of healing waters learns is the greater application of the
healing arts’ foundations. She learns to a much greater extent the body’s natural flow and how better to apply her
bending to repair damage done to it without exhausting herself. Disciples of healing water can use the Healing
Waters seed a number of times per day equal to her waterbender level plus her disciple level before Waterbending
DCs begin to increase in each attempt. The disciple also gains a bonus equal to her waterbender levels plus her
disciple levels in each application of the seed, rather than half her class levels, as normal.

Sense the Lifestream – By touching a willing or helpless living creature and sensing how the body devotes chi and
nutrients to certain areas of the body, a disciple of healing waters can assess the physical and spiritual health of the
creature. The disciple must focus on feeling the creature’s lifestream for a full round to feel its pathways before
learning what ails it. After this first round of focus, the disciple learns of any minor wounds and conditions the
creature possesses (Current and total possible vitality points, states of fatigue and exhaustion). After the second
round of focusing on this creature, the disciple learns of the number and severity of a creature’s more serious
wounds (Current wound points as well as total possible). On subsequent rounds, the disciple of healing waters can
decide to search the body’s systems for any one of the following ailments, each requiring a full-round action of

concentration to assess.
• Pathogens (disease, viruses, infection, etc.)
• Toxic substances (poisons, if still active)
• Damage to specific body parts (caltrop wounds, broken bones, burned skin, damaged organs)
• Physical debilitation (Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution damage)
• Mental enfeeblement (Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma damage)
• Permanent damage (Ability drain)
• Spiritual infirmity (Strong negative emotion, absence of the creature’s spirit, possession)

Direct the flow — Disciples of healing waters quickly learn that the basics of healing learned by general
waterbenders is child’s play compared to the full potential of water’s restoring touch. Disciples learn that they can
use their own flow of chi to help lead a creature’s body to the proper way to heal itself by infusing a small stream of
water with her own spiritual energy. A disciple of healing waters can restore a number of hit points in this way equal
to her Wisdom modifier multiplied by her combined Waterbender and Disciple of Healing Waters levels each day.
The disciple rolls a Waterbending check, and she can heal a number of hit points per round equal to the result of the
check. A disciple of healing waters requires eight hours of uninterrupted rest to recover her ‘pool’ of healing.

Innate Understanding -- The disciple of healing waters has gained a thorough enough understanding of the body
systems of living creatures that she no longer needs to take a full-round to focus on the target of her seeds and class
abilities, but may take the time anyway to gn a +5 to her Waterbending check for the purposes of using them.

Revitalizing pool -- By spending one use of her Healing Waters seed, the disciple may imbue the water around her
with her healing touch. She must first be in contact with a body of water, and then she may create a five-foot radius
through which her power is released. The disciple may use any appropriate seeds or class abilities (Greater Healing
Waters and Direct the Flow, for example) on anyone within this radius without having to be directly in contact with
them, as long as they are touching the same body of water as the disciple. This radius lasts for one round for every
five points of the Waterbending check per use, and it may be increased by 5 feet for every 5 points by which the
Waterbending check beats the DC.

Return to the Lifestream
Base DC: 35
The disciple of healing waters has learned to heal even those that have shuffled off the mortal coil. In order to do so,
she must take a full-round action to heal whatever wounds or afflictions killed the target of this ability, jump-start
his vitals, and restore his flow of chi. If the Waterbending check is successful, the target is brought back to life at -1
hit points and stable, and if the target was killed by massive damage, he will always bear the wound that slew him.
The DC for this ability increases by +2 for every round after the target's death that the healing is attempted.

Seed List
Somatic Recuperation
Base DC: Varies
While dangerous wounds do not disappear immediately; with proper care they can be taken care of overnight.
• Ability Damage (Base DC 20): If a disciple of healing waters is providing long-term care of a patient, she can use
the healing power of her element to aid the recovery process. Upon a successful Heal check to provide long-term
care to patients, a disciple can double the rate at which hit points and physical ability damage are recovered
(remember that a doubled double is a triple; so 3 points of ability damage recovered for 8 hours of rest, or 6 for a full
24 hours). For every patient over the first that the disciple wishes to treat this way, the Waterbending check
increases by +5.
• Ability Drain (Base DC 35): Even the deepest of wounds can recover if treated by an experienced healer for a
proper amount of time. In order to heal otherwise permanent damage to a creature, a disciple must make the bending
check in order to apply her skill to its wound once a day for one full cycle of the moon (one month, or
approximately 30 days) for each point of ability drain she wishes to heal. Any day missed in this period does not
ruin the healing, but each day missed adds another two days of application to the process before the damage is
healed, and a disciple cannot use this function of the seed more than once per day on any one creature.

Mental Recuperation
Base DC: Varies
The soothing coolness of water can even repair the anxiety and injuries of the mind.
• Ability Damage (Base DC 20): If a disciple of healing waters is providing long-term care of a patient, she can use
the healing power of her element to aid the recovery process. Upon a successful Heal check to provide long-term
care to patients, a disciple can double the rate at mental ability damage is recovered (remember that a doubled
double is a triple; so 3 points of ability damage recovered for 8 hours of rest, or 6 for a full 24 hours). For every
patient over the first that the disciple wishes to treat this way, the Waterbending check increases by +5.
• Ability Drain (Base DC 35): A disciple of healing waters can heal the mental scars and loss of memory by
constant application of a her element's power to the creature's head. In order to heal otherwise permanent damage to
a creature, a disciple must make the Waterbending check in order to apply her skill to wound for one full cycle of
the moon (one month, or approximately 30 days) while the target is resting. In order for a creature to heal the
damage through this, it must get a full 8 hours' rest every day for this month. Any day in which any of these
conditions is not filled adds an additional two days to the time necessary before the damage is healed.
• Special (Base DC Varies): A waterbender also gains the ability to heal mental afflictions and states of mind not
directly related to damage, such as amnesia and specific mental disorders. These situations are very case-specific,
and thus can't be generalized upon here.

Panacea
Base DC: Varies
The cleansing power of water can be used to flush away even the most dangerous of diseases.
• Cure (Base DC varies): By expending one of her daily uses of Healing Waters, a disciple may attempt to cure a
disease within an afflicted creature that is willing to be healed. In order to do so, she must first have identified the
disease afflicting the person through Sense the Lifestream or through another method (being told by a doctor
beforehand, for example). She then makes a Waterbending check as a full-round action (throughout which the
disciple must be in constant contact with the patient) opposed by double the disease's Fortitude save DC to cure it. If
the check is successful, the target of this seed must take at least a full 8 hours of uninterrupted rest while the body
finished disposing of the infection; and at the end of this period the disease is cured.
• Bolster (Base DC 5): By expending one of her daily uses of Healing Waters, a disciple may reinforce a person's
immune system against disease. By focusing for a full round on a creature's body systems while maintaining contact,
the disciple of healing waters can prepare the immune system for future assaults against it. Any creature targeted by
this form gets a bonus to any Fortitude saves against disease equal to half the disciple's Waterbending check
(rounded down). This bonus lasts for one day for every 5 points of the Waterbending check.

Major Wounds
Base DC: 40
• A difficult technique that few but true healers ever learn to do properly, the healing power of water can extend far
beyond those of the body alone. By creating an icy mold of a creature’s lost limb attached to where the body part
should be and filling it with water, a waterbender stimulates the body to grow the detached limb again. This process
takes a week, at which point the ice cracks to reveal a new and functional limb proportional to the rest of the body.
This seed only functions on external body parts and cannot be used to grow internal organs or limbs the creature
never had.
