Ultimate Prodigy
Ultimate_Prodigy
Prodigies are born with the grace of the gods, being naturally talented in all they endeavor. They share a link to the heavens that grants them the ability to take normal everyday tasks and turn them into a romance of light and song. Prodigies bring their heavenly grace to everything around them in amazing ways that others could only dream of.
Adventures: Prodigies tend to be either loners or attention centers depending on how they use their godly powers for. Misunderstood by the churches, prodigies may find themselves traveling around a lot, or may even join cults dedicated to using there powers in more direct ways. At one point or another in their lives, prodigies usually go out and seek to better understand their powers and where they came from.
Characteristics: Prodigies can cast a modest amount of spells through the divine grace they were given at birth. As they learn to channel and harness their powers, prodigies learn to produce amazing results through everyday tasks. As they rely upon their skills to succeed in life, prodigies can sometimes be seen as more of a punishment than a blessing when danger strikes, but once the threat is subsided, anyone will be grateful to have brought him along.
Alignment:Prodigies can be of any alignment, it all depends on how they were perceived by society. In areas that there graces were seen as a gift, Prodigies tend to be lawful, while when they are shunned, they are likely to be as chaotic as they come.
Religion: The majority of prodigies know that their powers come from the heavens, but very few prodigies know, specifically, where their powers come from. Prodigies are known to try out many religions during their lives in an attempt to fit in somewhere. If they become discouraged, many withdraw from religion completely. Others go off adventuring in search of the source of their mystical powers.
Background: Many prodigies are born in places that a god holds close to his heart. This could be next to a specific oak tree, or atop a lost shine. As they grow, prodigies and their up-bringers notice their talents swelling, as everything they touch comes to a rather mystical end. Prodigies that try and hide their powers have a hard time doing so. When others learn about their talents, they are either shunned from society or rushed into a powerful position.
Races: Prodigies can be found in just about any intelligent race, although, they are most commonly found in areas that pay patronage to a rather chaotic god. In cultures with no concrete belief system, prodigies may be looked at as gods themselves.
Other Classes: Prodigies get along best with those who can appreciate their powers. Sometimes, rogues see them as rivals, while other rogues are grateful to share the load. Prodigies do best in groups where there are more then enough combatants to keep them alive, as the prodigies can take over just about any non-combat situation.
Starting Age: Moderate (same as bard, fighter, paladin, and others).
Starting Gold: 4d4 x 10 (average 100 gp)

Class Features
All of the following are class features of the prodigy.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Prodigies are proficient with all simple weapons, with light armor, but not with shields.
Bonus Feat: At 1st level, and every 2 levels thereafter (3rd, 5th, 7th, and so on) a prodigy gets a bonus feat. She cannot choose a feat of any subtype, and cannot choose feats that are described as bonus fighter feats.
Omnibus (Ex): A prodigy has knack for some skills, but can learn all others almost as easily. Whenever she spends skill points gained by prodigy class, she can spend one skill point, instead of normal two, to gain a rank in a cross-class skill.
Spellcasting: A prodigy casts divine spells, which are drawn from the Prodigy Spell List. To learn or cast a spell, a prodigy must have a Wisdom score equal to at least 10 + the spell's level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a prodigy’s spell is 10 + one-third the prodigy's level + the prodigy’s Wisdom modifier. Like other spellcasters, a prodigy can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day (excluding invocations, see below). The prodigy doesn't receive bonus spells per day for having high Wisdom score. Like bard or paladin, a prodigy may know a number of spells from each spell level equal to 3 + her Wisdom modifier. It is possible for her to learn spells above that limit, but the costs are high. A prodigy need not prepare her spells in advance. She can cast any spell she knows at any time, assuming she has not yet used up her spells per day for that level. She does not have to decide ahead of time which spells she’ll cast. Prodigy’s caster level is equal to 3/4 her class level, rounded up.

Learning New Spells: A prodigy can learn any spell from her list, but doing so is tasking and requires a sacrifice. To learn a spell, a prodigy must pay an amount of gold equal to spell level squared x 50 (or 25 gp in case of 0-level spells). That money is used as an offering to a deity (it should not be gold at all, but instead items of value to the deity that cost that much). In addition, prodigy prays for spells in a place sacred to her deity. Prayer must take 1 hour per spell's level (30 minutes for a 0-level spell) and can not be interrupted. If it is, it must be performed again, and the offerings are lost. If a prodigy attempts to learn a spell and she already reached her limit of spells known for that level, multiply gold cost by 10. A newly created 1st level prodigy knows a number of 0-level spells equal to her Wis bonus.
Invocations: A prodigy can cast some spells as invocations. That means that she doesn't need to spend a slot of an appropriate level to cast that spell. Any spell cast as invocation uses reduced caster level, as shown on table: spells per day. A prodigy can cast invocations even if she has no slots left. At 1st level, a prodigy learns how to cast one 0-level spell from the list below as invocation (provided she knows that spell). At 3rd level and every 4 levels thereafter, a prodigy learns how to cast another spell from the list. A prodigy can choose a spell she doesn't know yet, but she is unable to cast it until she learns it. She cannot, however, choose a spell she can't yet cast because her class level is too low to access that level of spells. List of spells a prodigy can cast as invocations:
- 0 level - Guidance, Know Direction, Prestidigitation, Read Magic
- 1st level - Animate Rope, Cause Fear, Lesser Confusion, Hide from Undead, Jump, Remove Fear
- 2nd level - Calm Emotions, Identify, Obscure Object Scare
- 3rd level - Fire Trap, Glyph of Warding, Rage
- 4th level - Confusion, Neutralize Poison, Fear

For example, a prodigy with a move of 40ft. could run 10ft. straight up a wall, 20ft. across the wall, and then 10ft. back down to the floor.
