Invocations

As long as a creature with invocations has an unspent spell slot of an invocation’s spell level or higher, it gains the benefits of the invocation.

Some invocations have a variable effect. A creature with invocations sets the minimum spell level and chooses any other options related to those invocations when she prepare spells. For example, an invoker can choose to invoke the dark one with a minimum 4th-level spell slot, applying the +8 luck bonus to her Fortitude saves until the next time she prepares spells. Once she has cast all of her 4th-level and higher spells for the day, the invoker no longer gain the benefits of that invocation.

If a creature possesses multiple invocations with the same minimum spell level, it chooses which of those invocations to stop using as she runs out of spell slots. For example, if the invoker above can channel darkness and invoke the banshee, but only has one 3rd-level or higher spell slot available, she must choose which of those invocations she can no longer use until she regain her spell slots.

Unless specified otherwise, a creature with invocations can only ever have one of each invocation active at a time, and it can only ever have one invocation that creates or summons a creature active at a time.

Invokers are the main class that gains access to invocations. In addition, clerics with the eldritch acolyte archetype, paladins with the eldritch champion archetype, and sorcerers with the eldritch initiate archetype gain invocations in exchange for some of their other class features.

S-Class Characters: Arcanists

Vendor: Samurai Sheepdog
Type: Book
Price: 1.00

"The original Pathfinder RPG summoner class is fine."

I'm glad you think so. In that case, you're going to love the s-class arcanist, which has been balanced around the same general power level as the original summoner while still remaining fully compatible with a standard adventuring party. In fact, we are retuning every other class to be on par with that one, and the arcanist is just one such offering. If this proves popular, we'll be sure to release more, and eventually collect them into a full book for POD.

==What's Inside==

* A full, 20-level s-class that you can bring to the table right beside others like it, including the original s-class, the summoner.

* Three pedagogies that you can choose from as an s-class arcanist, or gain as an archetype when playing a standard arcanist.

* A sample list of bloodlines, exploits, discoveries, and school powers, including new powers.

* A sample of 0- through 9th-level spells for easy reference.

In addition to the s-class description, this is a full-use document for your character. No need to look at other books unless you need to know greater details, such as feat prerequisites and such (we intentionally summarize these so they're usable, but you have a reason to pick those up if you want to use them outside of the context of the s-class character).
