The student is a weakling at first but has adaptability unlike any other class on hand. Students have access to open up locked skills for the class, boost stats, and even copy over other class’s abilities to use as their own.
Library Card – at first level and ever 4th level afterwards the player can use this ability and make one non-class skill a class skill and gain 10 skill points in it. If a player instead chooses to not use it for a new skill in turn they can gain 20 skill points in general to disperse where they want provided they do not exceed the levels skill limit.
Cheat Sheet – at 3rd level the student can copy one other class’s ability of level 1 or 2, at 6th level they can take a ability up to level 4, 9th up to level 7, 12th up to level 10, 15th up to level 13, and 18th up to level 15. The ability they take cannot be switched out or changed after the choice is made, cannot exceed level 15 abilities (if the character goes on beyond 20th level in the class) and the abilities must be chosen at the point they are gained in leveling (i.e. a new character created at level 15 cannot take all 13th level abilities they must treat the ability as if they leveled each time) Taking abilities that increase over time based on a certain class, such as Sneak attack does not increase unless it’s taken again thru another level of cheat sheet and taking the 13th level of such abilities does not work it is counted as you take the abilities 1st appearance in the other class.

A Samurai is a master of the sword. Focused on how to use the blade to win any battle they resign themselves to a code and use their skills to see that code through. Their skill in swords, allow them to do amazing tricks and attacks with the blade normally considered by most impossible.
Code of Honor:
Each Samurai has a moral code in their lives that they stick by, failing to follow the code will cause them to need to seek redemption to return to their path or seek forgiveness. The Code is the system of Honor they follow.
Ak So San – Slay Evil Immediately
This is a code that is used by samurai to gain access to sword style moves it is a promise from the samurai to go all out on those they face. If they fail to defeat their target then they are not awarded the experience for that encounter. (note: this does not mean they alone have to defeat them but if they group in whole losses the combat)
Code Of Loyalty – subject agrees to follow someone or thing willing to give their life to protect. If they fail to protect their code they do not gain exp.
Code Of Poverty – subject agrees to do what they can to survive and give what they can to the needy. If they fail to not follow this code they do not gain exp until they reform their ways and return to the code.
Code of Strongest – Subject has made a vow to become the strongest or best and will do anything to see this code through. If they fail to see this code through they can no longer advance or use the abilities of the samurai class, they maintain the class levels. They can regain the class only if they perform an act of strength.
Code of Protector – Subject has made a vow to protect those that stand as the weak or helpless in the world offering their blade as one of defense and Justice for those less fortunate. Unlike the Code of Loyalty which is to one person this is for the weak in all.
Code of Pain – A Twisted and Sadistic Code, those that bear this code seek to make the ones they face suffer and hurt through their actions. Sometimes they will even go as far to save their target and help them heal, only to bring more harm to them later.
Code of The Dark Guardian – A code which is willing to break the laws and act more like a Vigilante bringing Justice down upon the wicked of the world, the followers of this code seek out criminals and bring them to their final end.
Code of the Sword – A code where the Samurai uses their sword as their sole means for life, they often offer their services as a sword for hire. Using other swords is a sin in their mind and when their blades are destroyed they must seek it to be repaired, if this proves to be a failure then they too must be destroyed.
Redemption / Forgiveness:
A Failure to follow a given code of honor causes the Samurai to no longer be able to gain experience in Samurai. In order to regain access to the class the samurai must seek out a way to redeem or be given forgiveness. This usually is based on taking up and completing a quest based on the code they follow.
Stance – At level 1 and every level after that the Samurai gains a Stance, Unlike the Sword Techniques, Stances are a way of always using ones sword in ways that grant bonuses in different ways, at the beginning of the round the Samurai must declare the stance they are in (otherwise it’s taken that they take no stance). Switching or activating stances is requires a standard action. Samurai gain a new stance every 5th level, at 5, 10, 15, and 20.

Shaking Hand – A Samurai using this stance has their blade shaking as it makes wounds doing the same damage but forcing the target to make a Resistance Save (DC 10+Level) vs. Bleeding damage.
Blind Swordsman – A Samurai using this stance can seek out their target that is cloaked in illusions or the Samurai is Blind, They suffer no penalty and reduce the miss chance possibility by 1/2.
Weapons Master – A Samurai using this stance can use any weapon/object (other than the sword) with their techniques. (Objects require the Improvised Weapon Feat, weapons/objects retain the damage they are given for normal attacks) [Followers of the Code of the Sword cannot take this]
Mad Blade – A Samurai using this stance does not try to avoid damage negating their ADS score, in exchange they can strike doing an additional point of damage for each amount of ADS Dropped
Blood Lust – A Samurai using this stance places themselves in a trance granting them +4 hit die and +4 to damage, for -4 ADS and -4 to hit.
Spinning Blade – Auto attack any martial attack against you with double damage counts as an attack of opportunity

Sword Styles – At Level 1 and every level there after a Samurai gains the use of a sword Style, this is a unique attack that they can unleash as an alternative to a normal attack. They aren’t limited in how many times they use them. Some attacks have a level requirement such as being level 5, 10 or 15 before you can use them.

A Rogue is a person who mainly is out for themselves but at times could be hired. Their main purpose is to steal, trick or acquire money or items by the best way they know how. Masters of stealth and locks they find their way in and out with the least possible alarms being triggered along the way. But in a pinch they can also make sure those that do find out regret it with the class ability to gain sneak attack which allows them to catch a target off guard and do a significantly more damage than normal.
Sneak Attack – If a rogue can catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from her attack, she can strike a vital spot for extra damage. The rogue’s attack deals extra damage when catching a target by surprise, or when the rogue flanks her target. This extra damage is 1d6 at 1st level, and increases by 1d6 every two rogue levels thereafter and the attack ignores the Armor and End Bonus in their ADS score. Should the rogue score a critical hit with a sneak attack, this extra damage is not multiplied. Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks only if the target is within 30 feet. With a weapon that deals non-lethal damage (like a sap, whip, or an unarmed strike), a rogue can make a sneak attack that deals non-lethal damage instead of lethal damage. She cannot use a weapon that deals lethal damage to deal non-lethal damage in a sneak attack, not even with the usual –4 penalty. The rogue must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. A rogue cannot sneak attack while striking a creature with concealment.
Trap Finding – A rogue adds 1/2 her level to Notice skill checks made to locate traps and to Disable Device skill checks (minimum +1).
Trap Sense – Bonus to saves verses Traps
Evasion – At 2nd level and higher, a rogue can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If she makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if the rogue is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless rogue does not gain the benefit of evasion.
Uncanny Dodge – Starting at 4th level, a rogue can react to danger before her senses would normally allow her to do so. She cannot be caught surprised by a reflex attack, even if the attacker is invisible. She still loses her Stat bonuses to PS score if immobilized. A rogue with this ability can still lose her Stat bonuses to PS score if an opponent successfully uses the feint action against her. If a rogue already has uncanny dodge from a different class, she automatically gains improved uncanny dodge instead.
Improved Uncanny Dodge – A rogue of 8th level or higher can no longer be flanked. This defense denies another rogue the ability to sneak attack the character by flanking her, unless the attacker has at least four more rogue levels than the target does. If a character already has uncanny dodge (see above) from another class, the levels from the classes that grant uncanny dodge stack to determine the minimum rogue level required to f lank the character.
Minor Talents – As a rogue gains experience, she learns a number of talents that aid her and confound her foes. Starting at 2nd level, a rogue, gains one rogue talent. She gains an additional rogue talent for every 2 levels of rogue attained after 2nd level. A rogue cannot select an individual talent more than once. Talents marked with an asterisk add effects to a rogue’s sneak attack. Only one of these talents can be applied to an individual attack and the decision must be made before the attack roll is made.
Bleeding Attack* (Ex): A rogue with this ability can cause living opponents to bleed by hitting them with a sneak attack. This attack causes the target to take 1 additional point of damage each round for each die of the rogue’s sneak attack (e.g., 4d6 equals 4 points of bleed). Bleeding creatures take that amount of damage every round at the start of each of their turns. The bleeding can be stopped by a DC 15 Medical check or the application of any effect that heals hit point damage. Bleeding damage from this ability does not stack with itself. Bleeding damage bypasses any damage reduction the creature might possess.
Combat Trick: A rogue that selects this talent gains a bonus combat feat.
Fast Stealth (Ex): This ability allows a rogue to move at full speed using the Stealth skill without penalty.
Finesse Rogue: A rogue that selects this talent gains Weapon Finesse as a bonus feat.
Ledge Walker (Ex): This ability allows a rogue to move along narrow surfaces at full speed using the Acrobatics skill without penalty. In addition, a rogue with this talent is not surprised when using Acrobatics to move along narrow surfaces.
Quick Disable (Ex): It takes a rogue with this ability half the normal amount of time to disable a trap using the Disable Device skill (minimum 1 round).
Resiliency (Ex): Once per day, a rogue with this ability can gain a number of temporary hit points equal to the rogue’s level. Activating this ability is an immediate action that can only be performed when she is brought to below 0 hit points. This ability can be used to prevent her from dying. These temporary hit points last for 1 minute. If the rogue’s hit points drop below 0 due to the loss of these temporary hit points, she falls unconscious and is dying as normal.
Rogue Crawl (Ex): While prone, a rogue with this ability can move at half speed. This movement provokes attacks of opportunity as normal. A rogue with this talent can take a 5-foot step while crawling.
Slow Reactions* (Ex): Opponents damaged by the rogue’s sneak attack can’t make attacks of opportunity for 1 round.
Stand Up (Ex): A rogue with this ability can stand up from a prone position as a free action. This still provokes attacks of opportunity for standing up while threatened by a foe.
Surprise Attack (Ex): During the surprise round, opponents are always considered surprised to a rogue with this ability, even if they have already acted.
Trap Spotter (Ex): Whenever a rogue with this talent comes within 10 feet of a trap, she receives an immediate Notice skill check to notice the trap. This check should be made in secret by the GM.
Weapon Training: A rogue that selects this talent gains Weapon Focus as a bonus feat.
Talent – At 10th level, and every two levels thereafter, a rogue can choose one of the following talents in place of a rogue minor talent.
Crippling Strike* (Ex): A rogue with this ability can sneak attack opponents with such precision
that her blows weaken and hamper them. An opponent damaged by one of her sneak attacks also takes 2 points of Strength damage.
Defensive Roll (Ex): With this advanced talent, the rogue can roll with a potentially lethal blow to take less damage from it than she otherwise would. Once per day, when she would be reduced to 0 or fewer hit points, by damage in combat, (from a weapon or other blow, not a spell or special ability) the rogue can attempt to roll with the damage. To use this ability, the rogue must attempt a reflex saving throw (DC = damage dealt). If the save succeeds, she takes only half damage from the blow; if it fails, she takes full damage. She must be aware of the attack and able to react to it in order to execute her defensive roll—if she is denied her Stat bonuses to her PS score, she can’t use this ability. Since this effect would not normally allow a character to make a Reflex save for half damage, the rogue’s evasion ability does not apply to the defensive roll.
Improved Evasion (Ex): This works like evasion, except that while the rogue still takes no damage on a successful Reflex saving throw against attacks, she henceforth takes only half damage on a failed save. A helpless rogue does not gain the benefit of improved evasion.
Opportunist (Ex): Once per round, the rogue can make an attack of opportunity against an opponent who has just been struck for damage in melee by another character. This attack counts as an attack of opportunity for that round. Even a rogue with the Combat Reflexes feat can’t use the opportunist ability more than once per round.
Skill Mastery: The rogue becomes so confident in the use of certain skills that she can use them reliably even under adverse conditions. Upon gaining this ability, she selects a number of skills equal to 3 + her Intelligence modifier. When making a skill check with one of these skills, she may take 10 even if stress and distractions would normally prevent her from doing so. A rogue may gain this special ability multiple times, selecting additional skills for skill mastery to apply to each time.
Slippery Mind (Ex): This ability represents the rogue’s ability to wriggle free from magical effects that would otherwise control or compel her. If a rogue with slippery mind is affected by an enchantment spell or effect and fails her saving throw, she can attempt it again 1 round later at the same DC. She gets only this one extra chance to succeed on her saving throw.
Feat: A rogue may gain any feat that she qualifies for in place of a rogue talent.
Weapon Proficiencies: Simple, Hand crossbow, Rapier, Short Sword, Short Bow
Armor Proficiencies: Light
Hit Die: 1d8

A Ranger is the master of the wild. They know how to live of the land and focus their efforts in taking on foes long before they get into melee. Able to track and transverse land better than most. They use their skills of survival to aid the group best. They also can specialize in fighting certain types of people, animals and monsters in the world.
Favored Enemy – At 1st level, a ranger selects a creature type from the ranger favored enemies table. He gains a +2 bonus on Bluff, Knowledge, Notice, Sense Motive, and Survival checks against creatures of his selected type. Likewise, he gets a +2 bonus on weapon attack and damage rolls against them. A ranger may make Knowledge skill checks untrained when attempting to identify these creatures.
At 5th level and every five levels thereafter (10th, 15th, and 20th level), the ranger may select an additional favored enemy. In addition, at each such interval, the bonus against any one favored enemy (including the one just selected, if so desired), increases by +2. If the ranger chooses humanoids or outsiders as a favored enemy, he must also choose an associated subtype, as indicated on the table below. If a specific creature falls into more than one category of favored enemy, the ranger’s bonuses do not stack; he simply uses whichever bonus is higher.
Main Classed Favored Enemies
Humans covers human and human types (ie Dwarves, Elves, Kinder)
Animals covers animals and Exceed
Demons covers Demons and Devils
Undead covers Zombies, Skeletons, Vampires and physical formed undead
Constructs covers magical constructs, robots and drones
Monsters Monsters and Monstrous creatures
Ghosts covers Ghosts
Sea Creature covers all manner of water based creature
Elementals covers all elemental based creatures
Creations covers abominations and Chimeras
Ethereal covers creatures and beings of a higher plane
Class based Based on the player class type of a target (each class taken separately)
Subhuman covers races like goblins, kobolds, orcs, trolls and giants
Spirits covers Fey, Sprites, Pixies, Fairies and the like
Track – A ranger adds half his level (minimum 1) to Survival skill checks made to follow or identify tracks.
Wild Empathy – A ranger can improve the initial attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check to improve the attitude of a person. The ranger rolls 1d20 and adds his ranger level and his Charisma bonus to determine the wild empathy check result. The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly. To use wild empathy, the ranger and the animal must be within 30 feet of one another under normal visibility conditions. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute, but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time. The ranger can also use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but he takes a –4 penalty on the check.
Combat Style – At 2nd level, a ranger must select one of two combat styles to pursue: archery or two-weapon combat. This choice affects the character’s class features but does not restrict his selection of feats or special abilities in any way. If the ranger selects archery, he is treated as having the Rapid Shot feat, even if he does not have the normal prerequisites for that feat. If the ranger selects two-weapon combat, he is treated as having the Two-Weapon Fighting feat, even if he does not have the normal prerequisites for that feat. The benefits of the ranger’s chosen style apply only when he wears light or no armor. He loses all benefits of his combat style when wearing medium or heavy armor.
Evasion – At 9th level, a ranger can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If he makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save (such as a red dragon’s fiery breath or a fireball), he instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if the ranger is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless ranger (such as one who is unconscious or paralyzed) does not gain the benefit of evasion.
Animal Companion – At 4th level, a ranger forms a bond with his hunting companions. This bond can take one of two forms. Once the form is chosen, it cannot be changed. The first is a bond to his companions. This bond allows him to spend a move action to grant half his favored enemy bonus against a single target of the appropriate type to all allies within 30 feet who can see or hear him. This bonus lasts for a number of rounds equal to the ranger’s Wisdom modifier (minimum 1). This bonus does not stack with any favored enemy bonuses possessed by his allies; they use whichever bonus is higher.
The second option is to form a close bond with an animal companion. A ranger who selects an animal companion can choose from the following list: badger, bird, camel, cat (small), dire rat, dog, horse, pony, snake (viper or constrictor), or wolf. If the campaign takes place wholly or partly in an aquatic environment, the ranger may choose a shark instead. This animal is a loyal companion that accompanies the ranger on his adventures as appropriate for its kind. A ranger’s animal companion shares his favored enemy bonus.
The Animal Companion also is able to have levels themselves in classes (they can’t take abilities to take on their own companion) and they gain 15 build points as well at and 2 points every level afterwards.
Improved Combat Style – At 6th level, a ranger’s aptitude in his chosen combat style (archery or two-weapon combat) improves. If he selected archery at 2nd level, he is treated as having the Many-shot feat, even if he does not have the normal prerequisites for that feat. If the ranger selected two-weapon combat at 2nd level, he is treated as having the Improved Two-Weapon Fighting feat, even if he does not have the normal prerequisites for that feat. As before, the benefits of the ranger’s chosen style apply only when he wears light or no armor. He loses all benefits of his combat style when wearing medium or heavy armor.
Snipe Attack – If a Ranger can catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from her attack, she can strike a vital spot for extra damage. The Ranger’s attack deals extra damage anytime her target would surprise or they feign their attack on the target. This extra damage is 1d6 at 6th level, and increases by 1d6 every three levels thereafter also ignoring the targets Armor and End Bonus in their ADS score. Should the Ranger score a critical hit with a snipe attack, this extra damage is not multiplied. Snipe attacks do not cover Melee actions strictly Ranged Combat only. The Ranger must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot. A Ranger cannot snipe attack while striking a creature with concealment. Unlike Sneak Attack Snipe Attack does not ever cancel out Improved Uncanny Dodge.
Woodland Stride – Starting at 7th level, a ranger may move through any sort of undergrowth (such as natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at his normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment. Thorns, briars, and overgrown areas that are enchanted or used in a technique that are manipulated to impede motion, however, still affect him.
Swift Tracker – Beginning at 8th level, a ranger can move at his normal speed while using Survival to follow tracks without taking the normal –5 penalty. He takes only a –10 penalty (instead of the normal –20) when moving at up to twice normal speed while tracking.
Combat Mastery – At 11th level, a ranger’s aptitude in his chosen combat style (archery or two-weapon combat) improves again. If he selected archery at 2nd level, he is treated as having the Improved Precise Shot feat, even if he does not have the normal prerequisites for that feat.
If the ranger selected two-weapon combat at 2nd level, he is treated as having the Greater Two-Weapon Fighting feat, even if he does not have the normal prerequisites for that feat. As before, the benefits of the ranger’s chosen style apply only when he wears light or no armor. He loses all benefits of his combat style when wearing medium or heavy armor.
Camouflage – A ranger of 12th level or higher can use the Stealth skill to hide in any of his favored terrains, even if the terrain doesn’t grant cover or concealment.
Hide in Plain Sight – While in any of his favored terrains, a ranger of 17th level or higher can use the Hide skill even while being observed.
Warriors of the street, Punks are strong fighters that are known to ignore typical rules of fighting, and try to move in quick and strike hard. They don’t care what kind of weapon they have on hand as long as it can mess up their target.
Dirty Fighter – A Punk at level 1 can use any weapon or improvised weapon at only a -2. If they have the Improvised weapon feat they take no penalty on using any item as a weapon.
Sneak Attack – If a punk can catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from her attack, she can strike a vital spot for extra damage. The punk’s attack deals extra damage anytime her target is surprised, or when the punk flanks her target.
