Sensitive

A sensitive has a smattering of psychic talent, allowing her to expand her senses, treat with spirits, and even influence minds. Many seek careers where they can make use of these talents without undue attention, becoming doctors, artists or detectives. Others turn to more nefarious paths, exploiting their gifts to exploit others in turn.

Class Features

All of the following are class features of the sensitive archetype.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency

Sensitives are proficient with all simple weapons. Sensitives are not proficient with any type of armour or shield.

Spells

A sensitive casts psychic spells, which are drawn from the sensitive spell list. She can cast any spell she knows without preparing it ahead of time. Like an arcanist, a sensitive may know any number of spells, but the number she can prepare each day is limited. At 1st level, she can prepare four 0-level spells and two 1st-level spells each day. At each new adept level, the number of spells she can prepare each day increases, adding new spell levels as indicated on the table below. Unlike the number of spells she can cast per day, the number of spells a sensitive can prepare each day is not affected by her Charisma score. Feats and other effects that modify the number of spells known by a spellcaster instead affect the number of spells a sensitive can prepare. Feats and effects that grant specific spells known instead allow her to prepare those spells without counting against her daily limit.

To learn or cast a spell, a sensitive must have a Charisma score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a sensitive’s spell is equal to 10 + the spell’s level + the sensitive’s Charisma modifier.

Sensitives meditate or pray for their spells, receiving them as flutterings of mental energy or flickers of insight. A sensitive must spend 1 hour each day in a trance-like meditation to regain her daily allotment of spells and change her prepared spells.

Like other spellcasters, a sensitive can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. Her base daily spell allotment is given on Table: Sensitive. In addition, she receives bonus spells per day if she has a high Charisma score (see Table: Ability Modifiers and Bonus Spells).

Where Table: Sensitive indicates that the sensitive gets 0 spells per day of a given spell level, she gains only the bonus spells she would be entitled to based on her Charisma score for that spell level.

Spirit Ridden (Su)

At 1st level, a sensitive gains Spirit Ridden as a bonus feat. She can use this one additional time per day at 7th level and every 6 levels thereafter, but can only benefit from one spirit at a time.

Spirit Shield (Su)

At 3rd level, a sensitive gains a +1 bonus to AC (including touch AC), CMD and saving throws against the attacks and abilities of haunts, ethereal and incorporeal creatures, and against possession attempts. This increases by 1 at 6th level and every 3 levels thereafter.

Spirit Channel (Su)

At 4th level, a sensitive gains Spirit Channel as a bonus feat. She can only activate this ability as part of performing the séance for Spirit Ridden. After she uses this ability, instead of yielding control of her body, she suffers 2 points of burn (as the kineticist class feature). At 10th and 16th level, she learns to channel another type of spirit.

Ghost Strike (Su)

At 5th level, a sensitive can imbue her weapons with psychic essence as a swift action, granting them the ghost strike property for 1 round.

Ghostwrack (Su)

At 10th level, a sensitive can affect haunts and undead with ego whip, inflict pain, mind thrust and thought worm spells regardless of their immunity to such effects. Damage dealt is treated as positive energy damage.

Banish (Su)

At 16th level, a sensitive can attempt to cast out a possessing spirit or banish an extraplanar creature. This requires a 10-minute ritual, after which it duplicates the effects of cast out and dismissal (DC 10 + half class level + Charisma modifier) against the target. However, unlike cast out, any damage is instead dealt to the possessing or controlling creature.
