D&D 3.5 - Complete Mage [OEF]

CHAPTER 2
CHARACTER
OPTIONS
42
As a secondary benefit, you gain a +1 competence bonus
to your caster level when casting water spells.
ELEMENTAL ADEPT
You can spontaneously cast a spell of the element you have
mastered.
Prerequisite: Elemental mastery class feature (see the wu
jen class in Complete Arcane).
Benefit: Choose one spell of the element you have chosen
for your elemental mastery class feature. You can now spontaneously
cast that spell by sacrificing a prepared spell of
equal or higher level. The spell you choose must be in your
spellbook. When you gain a level, you can change the spell
you can spontaneously cast by picking a new spell of the
element you chose for elemental mastery.
ENERGY ABJURATION
Casting an abjuration spell grants you protection from
energy damage.
Prerequisite: Spell Focus (abjuration) or abjurer level
1st.
Benefit: When you cast an abjuration spell, you can choose
to gain a special energy resistance equal to (1 + the spell's
level) × 5. This energy resistance lasts for the duration of the
abjuration spell you cast or until you are struck by any type
of energy damage (acid, cold, fire, electricity, or sonic). The
resistance applies to the first energy damage to which you
are exposed, and thereafter you lose the energy resistance
until you cast another abjuration spell.
Special: An abjurer can select this feat as a wizard bonus
feat.
ENERGY GESTALT [TACTICAL]
You have learned to combine multiple energy effects to great
advantage.
Prerequisites: Spell Focus (evocation), caster level 3rd.
Benefit: The Energy Gestalt feat enables the use of three
tactical maneuvers. In every case, you must deal damage to
one or more subjects with a pair of energy-based spells you
cast in 2 successive rounds.
Acrid Fumes: You cast an acid spell followed by a fire spell.
The flames of your second spell turn some of the lingering
acid into choking, sickening fumes. Any living creature damaged
by both spells is nauseated for 1 round. Those who make
a successful Fortitude save (DC based on the second spell)
are sickened for 1 round instead. Treat this as a poison effect
for the purpose of save bonuses and immunities.
Brittle Blast: You cast a cold spell followed by a sonic spell.
Any object or construct damaged by both spells takes +50%
damage from the sonic spell, because its physical structure
has been made brittle by the cold.
Improved Conduction: You cast a cold spell followed by an
electricity spell. The lingering cold more effectively conducts
the electricity, temporarily fatiguing creatures. Living creatures
damaged by both spells are slowed for 1 round (as the
slow spell). Creatures that make successful Fortitude saves
(DC based on the second spell) are fatigued for 1 round.
FACE-CHANGER [RESERVE]
Your mastery of illusions allows you to subtly alter your
appearance at whim.
Prerequisite: Ability to cast 3rd-level spells.
Benefit: As long as you have a glamer spell of 3rd level or
higher available to cast, you can alter your appearance as the
spell disguise self, except that the duration lasts 1 minute per
level of the glamer spell.
This illusory transformation requires a full-round action
to activate.
As a secondary benefit, you gain a +1 competence bonus
to your caster level when casting glamer spells.
FAVORED MAGIC FOE
Through study, you have learned how best to defend yourself
against your favored enemies' spells and how to best affect
them with your own.
Prerequisite: Knowledge 6 ranks (in appropriate skill;
see below) or favored enemy class feature.
Benefit: Choose a creature type for which you have the
favored enemy class feature, or one associated with a Knowledge
skill in which you have at least 6 ranks (see below). If you
choose humanoid or outsider, you must also choose a subtype
from Table 3–14: Ranger Favored Enemies (PH 47).
You gain a +1 bonus on caster level checks to overcome
the spell resistance of the chosen creature type, and such
creatures take a –1 penalty on saves against your spells and
spell-like abilities.

Special: You can take this feat multiple times. Each time
you take this feat, you choose a new creature type (or subtype,
in the case of humanoids or outsiders).
FEARSOME NECROMANCY
Creatures subjected to your necromantic spells feel the chill
of fear.
Prerequisite: Spell Focus (necromancy) or necromancer
level 1st.
Benefit: Any foe required to save against a necromancy
spell you cast is shaken for 1 round, regardless of the result
of the save. This mind-affecting fear ability does not stack
