D&Dtools

As a Medani prophet, you learn to draw on your dragonmark to peer into the future — and potentially, to unlock the secrets of the past.

Requirements

Class Features

Spellcasting: At each level, you gain new spells per day and an increase in caster level (and spells known, if applicable) as if you had also gained a level in a divine spellcasting class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level. You do not, however, gain any other benefi t a character of that class would have gained. If you had more than one divine spellcasting class before becoming a Medani prophet, you must decide to which class to add each level for the purpose of determining spells per day, caster level, and spells known.

Heir's Mark: Levels in the Medani prophet prestige class count as levels in the dragonmark heir prestige class when determining the caster level for the spell-like abilities of your dragonmark. You can have a maximum of five effective levels in dragonmark heir for the purpose of determining the caster level of your dragonmark.

Keen Insight (Su): Your dragonmark gives you f lashes of intuition, granting you an insight bonus on Sense Motive checks equal to your class level.

Prophetic Vision (Su): As you undertake your training as a Medani prophet, you begin to receive powerful visions of the past and future. These rare and cryptic revelations are a tool for the DM to advance the story, and the frequency and nature of these visions is determined by the needs of the campaign. These visions often connect to your current location, such that you are far more likely to see an image of the ancient battles between quori and giant if you are in Xen'drik.

If a vision strikes while you are awake, you must make a DC 15 Will save or be stunned for 1d4 rounds as the images wash over you.

Improved Dragonmark (Ex): At 2nd level and 4th level, you gain one additional daily use of your least and lesser dragonmark powers.

Blood Augury (Sp): From 2nd level on, you can expend one use of a least dragonmark power to use augury (PH 202) as a spell-like ability, at the same caster level as your other dragonmark powers.

Dragon's Shield (Su): At 3rd level, you gain an insight bonus to your Armor Class by expending one use of any of your dragonmark powers as a swift action. The effect lasts for 1 minute per dragonmark power caster level. The bonus is based on the strength of the dragonmark whose power you expend.

Medani Guidance (Sp): From 4th level on, you can expend one use of a lesser dragonmark power to use divination (PH 224) as a spell-like ability, at the same caster level as your other dragonmark powers.

Visions of the Past (Sp): At 5th level, you can expend one use of a dragonmark power to peer into the past. With each use of this ability, you can three questions regarding the past of the area you are in. This requires 6 minutes of concentration (2 minutes per question). You receive your answers as a combination of indistinct sensory impressions, as determined by the DM. For example, if you ask "Who killed Borestes?" you might learn that it was a male half-orc wielding an axe, but you will not learn the name of the killer. If you happen to be familiar with this particular half-orc, you might instinctively recognize him. In general, however, the imagery is vague and blurred; however, you might catch a particularly vivid image, such as a precise look at the killer's distinctive axe.

The answers you receive come not from any deity, but from your dragonmark's supernatural connection to the past. As such, treat the answers as coming from an effectively omniscient being. However, you will only receive responses to questions regarding events that occurred within your line of sight, and any magical effect that would have interfered with scrying automatically conceals past events from this power. For example, you might ask a question regarding a crime committed at a particular site, but if the character who committed that crime was under the effect of nondetection at the time, the response will be completely indecipherable. This ability works best when you ask specifi c questions: The move vague the question you ask, the more vague the response will be.

The maximum period you can look back through time is based on the strength of the dragonmark whose power you expend.
