GAME RULE INFORMATION
Starting Age: Complex (same as cleric, druid, monk, and others).
Starting Gold: 7d4 x 10 (average 175 gp) Contents
Conjurers (Cnj) have the following game statistics.
Abilities: Intelligence is the most important ability for the conjurer, as it determines his spellcasting ability and some of his class skills. Dexterity is also useful, since conjurers quite often ride creatures that they summon into combat. Constitution allows the conjurer to survive longer and improves his chance to cast spells in the heat of battle.
Alignment: Any.
Hit Points per Level: 1d4 + Con modifier.
Hit points are maximized at 1st character level.
Skill Points per Level: 4 + Int modifier.
Skill points are multiplied by 4 at 1st character level.
Class Skills: The conjurer's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Handle Animal (Cha), Knowledge (all skills, taken separately) (Int), Profession (Wis), Ride (Dex), and Spellcraft (Int).

Class Features
All of the following are class features of the conjurer.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency
A conjurer is proficient with 5 simple weapons of his choice, but with not with any armor or shields.
Call to power
At 1st level, a conjurer gains the ability to rapidly call back part of his dispersed magic potential. As full-round action that provokes an attack of opportunity, he can regain one expended 0 or 1st level spell slot. Because dealing with the powers necessary to do this in this way is very harmful for the conjurer's mind, he becomes dazed for the next two rounds.
Scribe Scroll
At 1st level, a conjurer gains Scribe Scroll as a bonus feat.
Spellcasting
A conjurer casts arcane spells from both the Conjurer's Spell List and the wizard's spell list. See "class and cross class spells", below, for details. To learn or cast a spell, a conjurer must have an Intelligence score equal to at least 10 + the spell's level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a conjurer's spell is 10 + half the conjurer's level + the conjurer’s Intelligence modifier. Like other spellcasters, a conjurer can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day (excluding invocations, see below). The conjurer doesn't receive bonus spells per day for having a high Intelligence score. Like a cleric or sorcerer, a conjurer may know a number of spells from each spell level equal to 3 + his Intelligence modifier. It is possible for him to learn spells above that limit, but the costs are high. A conjurer's spell slots regenerate after a good night's sleep. If he did not have such a luxury, he cannot refill his emptied slots until he rests. A conjurer need not prepare his spells in advance. He can cast any spell she knows at any time, assuming he has not yet used up his spells per day for that level. He does not have to decide ahead of time which spells he’ll cast. A conjurer's caster level is equal to his class level.

Learning New Spells: A conjurer can learn new spells, but doing so is very expensive and time-consuming. Learning a spell requires the expenditure of gold equal to spell's level squared x 50 (or 25 gp for 0-level spells) for special rare materials and guild fees. In addition, the conjurer must either have a teacher (another arcane spellcaster who knows the spell - that person need not be a conjurer, though), a scroll with the spell (which is destroyed in the process of learning it), or must spend a number of days equal to the spell's level squared on developing the spell from scratch (6 hours for a 0-level spell). If a conjurer attempts to learn a spell and he already reached his limit of spells known for that level, multiply the gold cost by 10. A newly-created 1st level conjurer knows a number of 1st level spells equal to his Int bonus, and the same number of 0-level spells.
Class and Cross-Class Spells: Spells from the conjurer spell list are class spells for him, while spells from the wizard list that are not found on the conjurer list are cross-class spells. A conjurer has a hard time casting cross-class spells because he is not trained to manipulate the energies those spells are made of. As a result, a conjurer suffers a -2 penalty on Concentration and Spellcraft checks related to cross-class spells and has a 20% arcane spell failure chance when casting them. If he also wears armor, add these percentiles together. No cross-class spells are on the invocation list.
Spellbooks: Spells are difficult to contain in memory. Every day, a conjurer must study his spellbook for 1 hour (this can be done at any time of day, but a conjurer must not be fatigued or otherwise tired). Studying spells written in the book allows the conjurer to refresh his memory and keep his spellcasting abilities at peak efficiency. For each day the conjurer does not study his spellbook, his caster level is cumulatively reduced by 1 when determining the effects of spells. All accumulated penalties are removed as soon as the conjurer can study his spellbook for 1 hour.
Invocations: A conjurer can cast some spells as invocations. That means that he doesn't need to spend a slot of an appropriate level to cast that spell. Any spell cast as invocation uses a reduced caster level, as shown on Table: Spells per Day. A conjurer can cast invocations even if he has no slots left. At 1st level, a conjurer learns how to cast one 0-level spell from the list below as an invocation (provided he knows that spell). At 2nd level and every 3 levels thereafter, a conjurer learns how to cast another spell from the list below as an invocation. A conjurer can choose a spell he doesn't yet know as an invocation, but he is unable to cast it until he learns it. He cannot, however, choose a spell he can't yet cast because his class level is too low to access that level of spells. The list of spells a conjurer can cast as invocations is as follows:
0-level - Acid Splash, Daze, Mending
1st level - Animate Rope, Entangle, Floating Disk, Grease, Mage Armor, Magic Weapon, Mount, Summon Monster I [1]
2nd level - Acid Arrow, Daze Monster, Gust of Wind, Whispering Wind, Summon Monster II
3rd level - Phantom Steed, Flame Arrow, Keen Edge, Greater Magic Weapon, Sleet Storm, Summon Monster III
4th level - Black Tentacles, Crushing Despair, Spike Stones, Summon Monster IV
5th level - Dismissal, Mage’s Faithful Hound, Summon Monster V, Telekinesis
[edit] Familiar
Summon Familiar (Ex): A conjurer can obtain a familiar. To do so takes 24 hours and uses up magical materials that cost 100 gp. A familiar is a magical beast that resembles a small animal and is unusually powerful and intelligent. The creature serves as a companion and servant. The conjurer chooses the kind of familiar he gets from the list below.
As the conjurer advances in level, his familiar also increases in power.If the familiar dies or is dismissed by the conjurer, the conjurer must attempt a DC 15 Fortitude saving throw. Failure means he suffers 2d6 points of Constitution damage as the dissolving link causes extreme strain to the heart; success means he suffers only 1d6 points of Constitution damage instead. A slain or dismissed familiar cannot be replaced for one week. A slain familiar cannot be raised from the dead. A familiar has the following characteristics:
Familiar Tiny magical beast (extraplanar) Hit Dice: Same as conjurer (same hit points as conjurer) Initiative: +3 Speed: As type AC: 15 (+2 size, +3 Dex) BAB/Grapple: As conjurer/as conjurer - size penalty difference Attack: Bite -2 melee (1d3-4) Full Attack: Bite -2 melee (1d3-4) Space/Reach: 2.5ft/0ft Special Attacks: As type Special Qualities: As type Saves: Fort as base conjurer, Ref as base conjurer +3, Will as base conjurer Abilities: Str 2, Dex 16, Con 10, Int 6, Wis 10, Cha 10 Skills: As type, plus based on hit dice Feats: As type, plus based on hit dice

Familiar Feat (Ex): A conjurer's familiar gains one of the conjurer's known feats as a bonus feat.
Combat familiar (Ex): A familiar's natural weapons deal damage as if they were two size categories larger (1d3 becomes 1d6, 1d4 becomes 1d8 and so on). Additionally, the familiar's BAB becomes equal to 3/4 of the conjurer's level. This ability may only be selected once.
Deliver Touch Spells (Su): A conjurer's familiar can deliver touch spells for him. If the conjurer and the familiar are in contact at the time the master casts a touch spell, he can designate his familiar as the "toucher." The familiar can then deliver the touch spell just as the master could. As usual, if the master casts another spell before the touch is delivered, the touch spell dissipates. This ability may only be selected once.
Enlarge (Ex): A conjurer's familiar increases in size by one size category, with all appropriate bonuses and penalties.
Eyes and Ears (Ex): As a full-round action that provokes an attack of opportunity, the conjurer can see through the familiar's eyes and hear through the familiar's ears. The conjurer must concentrate while using this ability, taking a standard action each round to do so, and cannot see through his own eyes or hear through his own ears during this time. The familiar must be within one mile of the conjurer per conjurer level for this ability to work. This ability may only be selected once.
Reshape familiar (Ex): Once per day, the conjurer may change his familiar into a different familiar type chosen from the table. This process requires 1 hour without interruptions. This ability may only be selected once.

The familiar must be within 5 feet for every 5 conjurer levels at the time of casting to receive the benefit. If the spell or effect has a duration other than instantaneous, it stops affecting the familiar if it moves farther than 5 feet for every 5 conjurer levels away and will not affect the familiar again even if it returns to the master before the duration expires. Additionally, the master may cast a spell with a target of "You" on his familiar (as a touch range spell) instead of on himself. A master and his familiar can share spells even if the spells normally do not affect creatures of the familiar’s type. This ability may only be selected once.
Spell Resistance (Ex): The familiar gains spell resistance equal to the conjurer’s level + 5. This ability may only be selected once.
