S-Class Culinarian

What Are S-Class Characters?

S-class characters are a request from Kenneth Zike. They are built using the summoner class, as originally presented, as the basis against which all other classes are balanced. The “S” in this case stands for both summoner and, as a more appropriate in-world reference, superior. If you have played—or GM’d for—a summoner and felt it was fine as is, you should have no problem running with an s-class character.

S-class culinarians are the masters of the culinary world; master chefs fighting their way through cutthroat kitchens to prove their worth without getting chopped. Butchers, bakers, and master meal makers, they always have somethign on hand to help an ally or dissuade an enemy from continuing its fight against them.

Role: S-class culinarians are more combat-oriented, with the ability to add multiple ingredients to their recipes beginning at 1st level, which also grants them more attacks over time.

Note: The s-class culinarian is an alternate, superior version of the culinarian class. They retain all of the standard culinarian progressions and options, and should mostly qualify to select culinarian archetypes without specific adjustments. Some levels of abilities have shifted, so anything that replaces them should as well.

Alignment: Any.

Hit Die: d6.

Starting Wealth: 2d6 × 10 gp (average 70 gp.) In addition, an s-class culinarian begins play with an outfit worth 10 gp or less.

Class Skills

The s-class culinarian’s class skills are Appraise (Int), Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Handle Animal (Cha), Knowledge (geography), Knowledge (local), Knowledge (nature), Knowledge (nobility), Perception (Wis), Profession (Wis), Sleight of Hand (Dex), Survival (Wis), and Swim (Str).

Skill Ranks per Level: 6 + Int modifier.

Class Features

All of the following are class features of the s-class culinarian.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency

An s-class culinarian is proficient with all simple and martial weapons, light armor, and shields (except tower shields).

Recipes

An s-class culinarian creates meals drawn from the culinarian recipe list. She much choose and prepare her meals ahead of time.

To learn to prepare or create a meal, the culinarian must have an Intelligence or Wisdom score equal to at least 10 + the recipe’s complexity. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against an s-class culinarian’s meal is 10 + the meal’s complexity + the culinarian’s Intelligence or Wisdom modifier.

An s-class culinarian can create only a certain number of meals per day. Her base daily allotment of meal slots is given on Table: Culinarian. In addition, she can prepare additional meals as a chef de partie (see below).

An s-class culinarian may know any number of recipes. She must choose and prepare her meals ahead of time by getting 8 hours of sleep and spending 1 hour studying her cookbook. While studying, the culinarian decides which meals to prepare and organizes her ingredients so that she can access them quickly throughout the day.

Cookbook: Every culinarian begins play with a cookbook containing a number of complexity 1 recipes equal to 3 + her Intelligence modifier. A cookbook is identical to a spellbook, except that it contains battle chef or culinarian recipes, rather than spells. At each new level, the culinarian adds two new meals of any complexity that she can create (up to half her culinarian level) to her cookbook. See the section on Cuisine for further details.

Chef de Partie (Ex)

An s-class culinarian can choose to specialize in one station within her brigade as a chef de partie, gaining additional recipes and techniques based on that station. This choice must be made at 1st level, and once made, it cannot be changed. An s-class culinarian that does not select a station acts as a roundsman—someone who fills in as needed on all of the stations, rather than having a specific job—instead. A full list of stations can be found at the end of this section.

An s-class culinarian that chooses to specialize in one station must select two other stations in which she has no training, representing skills sacrificed in one area of food preparation to gain mastery in another. An s-class culinarian who prepares recipes from the stations in which she lacks training must use two meal slots of that level to prepare the recipe. For example, an s-class culinarian without training as a pastry chef must expend two of her available meal slots to prepare a tart. In addition, a chef de partie takes a –4 penalty on any skill checks made when preparing a recipe from a station in which she lacks training. A roundsman can prepare recipes from any station without restriction.

Each station teaches the culinarian a few special techniques. In addition, chefs de partie can prepare 1 additional meal slot per 2 culinarian levels. Each day, an s-class culinarian can prepare a meal from her chosen station in that slot. This recipe must be in the culinarian’s cookbook. An s-class culinarian can select a recipe modified with an exotic ingredient to prepare in her station slot. Roundsmen do not receive additional meal slots.

Mise en Place (Su)

As battle chefs, s-class culinarians are masters of creating meals in the heat of battle. The culinarian achieves this by keeping everything she needs for her recipes within a magical hot pot that acts as her all-in-one cold box, fryer, oven, pantry, and stove top.

At 1st level, an s-class culinarian’s hot pot can store ingredients as the large pouch of a handy haversack (8 cubic feet or 80 lbs). Beginning at 5th level, it counts as a bag of holding type I instead. At 10th, 15th, and 20th level, the hot pot increases to the next type of bag of holding (II, III, and IV, respectively). Because exotic ingredients can be almost anything, the culinarian knows what constitutes an ingredient for one of her recipes, but the Gamemaster has final say on whether it counts.

Creating a Meal: As a standard action, an s-class culinarian with at least 1 weapon drawn can set down her hot pot and declare what meal she is creating by adding the first of that meal’s flavor profiles to the hot pot. If there is an enemy within range of her weapon, the culinarian can also make an attack against that creature as part of the same action. This does not draw attacks of opportunity. After an s-class culinarian has started creating a meal, she can use her standard action each round to continue adding the flavor profiles in the order listed with that meal. Once all of a meal’s flavor profiles are added, she can either continue adding additional ingredients in any order for greater effect or declare the meal complete as a free action. For each ingredient she adds to a dish, the culinarian can also make an attack against an enemy within range of the weapon she is wielding.

Completing a Meal: Once a meal is declared complete, the culinarian determines how many servings she has of that meal to consume or distribute. She then has a few options:

• She can consume the meal as part of a move action.
• She can distribute servings to her allies as part of a move action or feed them as a standard action (as if the serving were a potion). Her allies can also take and eat a serving from the culinarian’s hot pot as part of a move action on their turns.
• She can deliver servings to an enemy as a melee touch attack.

Space and Movement: An s-class culinarian must be within reach of her hot pot to add ingredients to it. While creating a meal, she can use a swift action to pick up her hot pot and a move action to move up to half her speed without the risk of ruining the meal.

Concentration: If an s-class culinarian is able to make attacks on her turn, she can add ingredients to her meal instead. If she ends her turn without placing at least 1 ingredient into her hot pot or moves more than half her speed while carrying it, she must succeed at a Profession (cook) check DC 15 + the meal’s complexity to avoid ruining the meal. Vigorous motion requires the same check, while violent motion and violent weather increase the DC by 5.

Sous Chef (Su)

An s-class culinarian can create her meals with better precision and timing than a standard culinarian. As a fullround action, she can begin a new meal or continue a meal she has already started, adding 2 ingredients to the meal instead of 1. This also allows the culinarian to make up to 2 attacks against creatures within reach of her weapon. If she chooses to make more than one attack, the culinarian uses her class level as her base attack bonus, and all attacks made in this way are at a –2 penalty. See “chef attacks” on Table: S-Class Culinarian for easy reference. The culinarian can take one 5-foot-step at any time during her full-round action.

At 8th level, the culinarian’s increased base attack bonus grants her the ability to add up to 3 ingredients instead of 2 when she uses a full-round action, which also allows her to make a third attack.

Defensive Instinct (Ex)

At 2nd level, when unarmored, not using a shield, unencumbered, and conscious, an s-class culinarian adds her Wisdom bonus (if any) to her AC and CMD. If she is wearing armor or using a shield, she instead adds half her Wisdom bonus to her AC (minimum 0). In addition, the culinarian gains a +1 bonus to her AC and CMD at 4th level. This bonus increases by 1 for every 4 culinarian levels thereafter (up to a maximum of +5 at 20th level).

These bonuses to AC apply even against touch attacks and when the culinarian is flat-footed. She loses these bonuses when she is immobilized or helpless. These bonuses do not stack with the monk AC bonus class feature.

Poison Resistance (Ex)

At 2nd level, an s-class culinarian gains a +2 bonus on all saving throws against poison because she has been on the receiving end of bad or improperly cooked meals. This bonus increases to +4 at 5th level, and then again to +6 at 8th level. At 11th level, an s-class culinarian becomes completely immune to poison.

Track (Ex)

At 2nd level, hunting down ingredients teaches an s-class culinarian to watch for small changes to an area in much the same way a ranger hunts her targets. The culinarian adds half her level (minimum 1) to Survival skill checks made to follow tracks.

Mundane Food Expertise (Ex)

At 3rd level, an s-class culinarian is so talented at making fine cuisine while also doing battle that normal food preparation becomes increasingly simple. Ordinary meals an s-class culinarian prepares when not in combat are always of good quality, and she can prepare a banquet meal in half the time (around 1 hour instead of 2). For each creature with at least 1 rank in Profession (cook) aiding her, the culinarian can reduce the time to prepare a banquet meal by an additional 5 minutes because those creatures will have already started the meal cooking before the culinarian stepped in. This cannot reduce the preparation time to less than 10 minutes without magical assistance, which a majority of s-class culinarians abhor.

Finally, when using Profession (cook) checks to earn income, the culinarian earns gold pieces equal to the result of her check each week.

Poison Use (Ex)

At 3rd level, an s-class culinarian has learned to recognize some ingredients can be deadly to the touch, when prepared incorrectly, or when not counteracted by something else during preparation. This makes it easier when she wishes to poison something or somebody intentionally because the culinarian can no longer accidentally poison herself when applying or using poison.

Culinary Study (Ex)

At 4th level and above, an s-class culinarian adds her Intelligence modifier to Profession (cook) skill checks in addition to her Wisdom modifier.

Woodland Stride (Ex)

By 6th level, an s-class culinarian has already traveled far and wide; braving forests, mountains, and swamps in search of the ingredients they use to make masterful meals. The culinarian may move through any sort of undergrowth (such as natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at her normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment. Magically manipulated thorns, briars, and overgrown areas to impede motion, however, still affect her.

Damage Reduction (Ex)

At 7th level, countless bruises, cuts, and punctures have hardened an s-class culinarian to pain. She gains Damage Reduction 1/–, reducing damage taken from any bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing weapon by 1, to a minimum of 0. This Damage Reduction improves by +1 at 10th level, and every 3 levels thereafter, to a maximum of DR 5/– at 19th level.

Mundane Food Mastery (Ex)

At 9th level, an s-class culinarian has surpassed the average chef in matters of ordinary food preparation. Any meal eaten within 50 feet of an s-class culinarian is automatically of good quality if she had any say in its preparation (such as suggesting the inclusion of a spice or stirring technique).

In addition, the culinarian can prepare a banquet meal with the aid of one other creature in 30 minutes (additional creatures still reduce the time by 5 minutes each, to a minimum of 10 minutes). When using Profession (cook) checks to earn income, the culinarian earns gold pieces equal to the result of her check each day, rather than each week.

Chef de Cuisine (Su)

At 11th level, an s-class culinarian’s timing when creating meals is nigh perfect. When she uses a full-round action to begin or continue a meal, she can add up to 4 ingredients and make up to 4 attacks at her highest attack bonus. The fourth attack made in this way is at the same penalty as the third.

At 15th level, the culinarian’s increased base attack bonus grants her the ability to add up to 5 ingredients instead of 4 when she uses a full-round action, which also allows her to make a fifth attack.

Swift Tracker (Ex)

Beginning at 12th level, an s-class culinarian can spot a sprig of mint in a patch of clover as easily as she can locate a goat climbing a mountainside for its milk. She can move at her normal speed while using Survival to follow tracks without taking the normal –5 penalty. She takes only a –10 penalty (instead of the normal –20) when moving at up to twice normal speed while tracking.

Chef de Mondiale (Su)

At 16th level, an s-class culinarian has legendary precision when creating meals during combat. When she uses a fullround action to begin or continue a meal, she can add up to 6 ingredients and make up to 6 attacks at her highest attack bonus. The sixth attack made in this way is at the same penalty as the fifth.

Quarry (Ex)

At 17th level, an s-class culinarian knows exactly how to track down a rare creature or ingredient she seeks after getting close to it. She can, as a standard action, denote one target within her line of sight as her quarry. Whenever she is following the tracks of her quarry, an s-class culinarian can take 10 on her Survival skill checks while moving at normal speed, without penalty. In addition, she receives a +2 insight bonus on attack rolls made against her quarry, and all critical threats are automatically confirmed against it. An s-class culinarian can have no more than one quarry at a time. She can dismiss this effect at any time as a free action, but she cannot select a new quarry for 24 hours. If the culinarian sees proof that her quarry is dead, she can select a new quarry after waiting 1 hour.

Improved Quarry (Ex)

At 20th level, the culinarian’s ability to hunt her quarry improves. She can now select a quarry as a free action, and can now take 20 while using Survival to track her quarry, while moving at normal speed without penalty. Her insight bonus to attack her quarry increases to +4. If her quarry is killed or dismissed, she can select a new one after 10 minutes have passed.

Stations

The following stations are available to all chefs de partie. When choosing a station in which to specialize, the culinarian also picks 2 stations in which she lacks training. When preparing her meals for the day, a culinarian must use 2 meal slots to prepare a meal from a station in which she lacks training.

Entremetier

Vegetable chefs prepare vegetables, soups, starches, and eggs. When specialized as an entremetier, the culinarian gains the following.

At 4th level, the entremetier gains track, as the ranger class feature. She also gains swift tracker at 8th level.

Allies that consume an entremetier’s meal gains a +2 bonus on initiative checks for up to 1 hour per culinarian level (divided between all creatures consuming the meal). This bonus increases by +2 at 8th, 14th, and 18th level.

Friturier

Fry chefs prepare fried food. When specialized as a friturier, the culinarian gains the following.

At 4th level, an enemy that fails its save against a friturier’s meal has its speed halved for 1 round per culinarian level (divided between all creatures consuming the meal). At 8th level, the enemy is slowed for 1 round, then its speed is halved as above. At 14th level, the enemy is slowed for 1 round per culinarian level, then its speed is halved as above. At 18th level, the enemy is paralyzed for 1 round, then slowed as above, then its speed is halved as above.

Line Cook

Line Cooks handle an assortment of jobs given to them by others, often aiding where they can to get the job done quickly and efficiently. When specialized as a line cook, the culinarian grants allies with whom she flanks a +3 flanking bonus to attack, instead of a +2. She also gains the following.

At 4th level, a line cook can add an ingredient to a meal as an immediate action when she or another culinarian begins or continues a meal. At 8th level, allies consuming a line cook’s meal deal +1d4 additional precision damage with attacks, as the rogue sneak attack class feature, for 1 round per culinarian level (divided between all creatures consuming the meal). At 14th level, this additional damage becomes +1d6, and at 18th level, it increases to +2d6.

---

Poissonier

Fish chefs are in charge of locating, gathering, and preparing seafood. When specialized as a poissonier, the culinarian gains the following.

At 4th level, a poissonier wielding any non-magical crossbow, cutlass, firearm, or trident grants that weapon a +1 enhancement bonus for as long as she wields it (a thrown weapon’s enhancement lasts until after the attack is complete).

At 8th level, the weapon also gains the frost or huntsman weapon property. At 14th level, it also gains icy burst or Stalking. At 18th level, it gains all of the above.

Cuisine

Cuisine functions in many ways like spells, and even has the same general format for recipes. In general, a recipe is non-magical unless it says otherwise. A culinarian must prepare her meals each day after getting 8 hours of rest, just like a wizard and their spellbook.

For additional, more detailed rules on cuisine, see The Book of Many Things Decidedly Laughable Collection.

Burger, Heart Attack

Station and Complexity grillardin 6, line cook 6

Flavor Profiles texture, umami, temperature, umami, texture, umami

Additional Ingredients bitter, salty, sour, spicy, or umami

Duration 1 round/level; Serving Size 1

A heart attack is 1/2 lb. burger with 1/4 lb. of bacon, cheese, and no less than 2 eggs, in addition to any other available toppings.

When consumed, a heart attack burger grants the ability to recover from deadly wounds with restored vitality and a will to fight, but at a price. The burger immediately causes 1d4 points of Intelligence and Wisdom damage, but grants a +4 enhancement bonus to Constitution and Strength, DR 5/–, and the benefits of a haste spell. In addition, it heals 4d8 points of damage + 1 point per culinarian level (maximum +25).

If served to a creature that has died within 1 round, a heart attack burger can even save that creature from death by healing the damage from an otherwise mortal wound, though it does not prevent death from massive damage or from causes other than hit point loss.

At the end of the duration, a heart attack burger takes a heavy toll, causing exhaustion and inflicting 1d4 points of Constitution damage.

Consuming a heart attack burger counts as triggering a resurgent transformation spell, and doing either more than once in a day is particularly risky. Consuming a second heart attack burger in a 24-hour period inflicts an additional 1d4 points of Constitution damage and results in death from system shock unless you succeed at a DC 15 Fortitude save, made after the Constitution damage has been applied.

Additional bitter and umami ingredients increase the duration and serving size by +1 each.

Additional salty and sour ingredients increase the healing by +1d8 each.

Additional spicy ingredients increase the duration to 1 hour/level.

This also grants the hollandaise circumstance bonuses for the duration.

Station and Complexity poissonier 6, rotisseur 6

Flavor Profiles umami, texture, temperature, salty, temperature, texture

Additional Ingredients bitter, spicy, sour, or umami

Duration 1 hour/level, or see text when consumed; Serving Size 1d4

Paella is one of the best and most complex rice dishes because of the specific way in which it’s made. If completed with no interruptions, it leaves 1 serving of toasted rice at the bottom of the culinarian’s pot called the socarrat. The ingredients cooked in and with the rice can vary, but more traditionally include bay leaf, garlic, parsley, saffron, salt, and tomato, as well as the choice of meat (often a combination of chicken and fish).

When consumed during combat, paella grants one of the following abilities based on the flavor profiles used, chosen by the consumer. This lasts until combat ends, the consumer willingly leaves the area, or the consumer chooses to stop participating in combat directly. Consuming another serving overrides the current benefit, but if the socarrat is also consumed, it grants a second choice for the duration.

Additional ingredients increase the serving size by +1.

• Bitter or Sour: The consumer gains a +5 morale bonus on all weapon damage rolls.
• Salty: The consumer gains a +5 morale bonus on concentration checks and caster level checks made to overcome a target’s spell resistance.
• Spicy: The consumer’s weapons count as adamantine, magic, and one alignment type (chaotic, evil, good, or lawful) of its choice for the purposes of bypassing Damage Reduction. The alignment type selected must match one of the consumer’s alignments. If the consumer is neutral, it does not receive that benefit.
• Texture: The consumer gains a +3 morale bonus on all attack rolls. This bonus is doubled on all attack rolls made to confirm critical hits.
• Umami: The consumer gains fast healing 3. This causes the consumer to heal 1 point of damage each round as long as it remains alive.

These bonuses do not stack with the monk AC bonus or similar class features.

Additional ingredients grant an additional +1 bonus each. This bonus is not reduced by wearing armor or using a shield.
