 PRANA FILCHER
Throughout history, societies have developed a
philosophy, understanding, and practice of medicine.
The approaches and technical refinements cultivated
vary, sometimes drastically, from one civilization to
the other, but the heart of the discipline remains the
same. In the lands of the east, where a holistic and
contemplative view of the world dominates, medicine
is based on prana, an invisible energy found in all
organisms and necessary for life. Pranic doctors
master that energy and can restore health and
psychological well-being. But where a positive use
of a force is present, its opposite can also be found.
Prana filchers are individuals who have studied
pranic medicine, but who have chosen to use it as a
weapon. By using their mystic techniques of
powerful inhalation, they are able to suck in and
steal part of a person’s prana, thus causing all types
of pathological symptoms in their enemies.
Because of the nature of their craft, prana
filchers are universally dreaded and demonized.
Most people will not even stand close to them for
fear of contracting health problems or afflicting
some kind of curse on their family. Paradoxically,
prana filchers are never short of work in large cities
where rivalry, jealousy, and prejudice push people
to cause harm to others. Commonly, prana filchers
are hired to do such immoral deeds, but some prefer
to use their talents for more acceptable causes.
These prana filchers are found in the militia or in
infiltration units sent against rival states.
Prana filchers who have complemented their
craft with an intense combat training often become
adventurers. Indeed, manipulating the very essence
of life is a most powerful weapon that adventuring
parties can put to use against all kinds of vile and
feral beasts. The prana filcher works best as a © 2008, Louis Porter Jr. Design, Inc.

weapons, light, and medium armor, and shields
(except tower shields).
Forceful Prana Removal (Su): A prana
filcher gradually acquires control over the prana
that resides in all creatures. He can inhale deeply to
forcefully remove some of the pranic energies of
his foes, thus skillfully altering their physical or
mental balance, and causing a variety of detrimental
symptoms. As he gains levels in the prana filcher
prestige class, a character learns new and more
powerful ways to affect opponents.
Removing some of an opponent’s prana is a
standard action that does not provoke attacks of
opportunity. A prana filcher can choose to cause
any symptom he knows but, once he inhales, he
cannot do so again until 1d4 rounds later, regardless
of the symptom caused. There is no limit to the
amount of times per day a prana filcher can use this
ability. Forceful prana removal affects any one
adjacent creature. The save DC for any symptom is
10 + half the prana filcher’s level + the prana
filcher’s Constitution modifier. The type of saving
throw is indicated in each symptom’s description.
Removing some of an opponent’s prana a second
time with the same symptom has no effect, unless
the duration of the first removal’s effect is already
over. Despite it being a supernatural ability, a
forceful prana removal is subject to spell resistance
and can be dispelled. It otherwise follows the rules
for supernatural abilities.
At 1st level, the prana filcher can cause only
one minor symptom, but as he gains experience he
develops more control over this ability and can
produce other effects. A new minor symptom is
learned at 2nd level. At 5th and 7th level, the prana
filcher learns a new moderate symptom. He gains
mastery of a strong symptom at 10th and 12th level,
and of a greater symptom at 15th and 17th level.
Finally, he learns how to produce the ultimate
symptom, instant death, at 20th level. At 1st level,
and each time he acquires enough experience to
gain a new symptom, the prana filcher must choose
a symptom of the appropriate category (or lower)
from the following list:
Minor symptoms:
Clumsiness: This symptom offsets the balance
of the target, preventing the victim from properly
defending itself in combat. The victim must
succeed on a Reflex save or take a –2 penalty to
Armor Class. The effect lasts 1 minute. This
penalty increases to –4 when the prana filcher
reaches 5th level, to –6 at 10th level, and to –8 at
15th level.
Enfeeblement: This symptom makes the victim
unable to coordinate its motions well enough to be
fully efficient in combat. The target must succeed
on a Reflex save or take a –2 penalty on all attack
and damage rolls. This effect lasts 1 minute. The
penalty increases to –4 when the prana filcher reaches
5th level, to –6 at 10th level, and to –8 at 15th level.
Fever: The victim of this symptom suffers
spasms and fever, which affect its capacity to
maintain mental concentration. The victim must
succeed on a Fortitude save or be forced to make a
spell failure roll (50%) each time it casts a spell,
concentrates on an active spell, directs a spell, or
uses a spell-like ability. This is similar to the arcane
spell failure chance caused by wearing armor,
except that it is not restricted to arcane casters and
applies even if the spell or ability does not involve
somatic components. The effect lasts 1 minute.
Stasis: With this symptom, the prana filcher
implants a suggestion of immobility in the victim’s
mind. The target of this symptom must succeed on
a Will saving throw or become unable to move at
all (i.e. the victim may not use a move action to
move up to its speed, use a 5-foot step, or use the
withdraw, charge, or run actions). Furthermore, the
victim cannot make any attacks of opportunity, but
it can otherwise attack, cast spells, or use skills as
normal. This is a mind-affecting effect that lasts a
number of rounds equal to the prana filcher’s
Constitution modifier.
Moderate symptoms:
Injury: When the prana filcher triggers this
symptom, he forcefully removes prana from his
victim and temporarily absorbs that energy. This
effect causes to the target 1d4 points of damage per
prana filcher level, half of which is transferred to
the prana filcher as temporary hit points. The target
can attempt a Fortitude saving throw to reduce the
damage in half and negate the transfer of hit points.
The duration of this effect is instantaneous, while
the temporary hit points remain a number of rounds
equal to the prana filcher’s Constitution modifier.
At 15th level, the damage caused by this symptom
increases to 1d6 per prana filcher level.
Fear: The victim’s self-confidence is completely
sapped away by this symptom, resulting in an
uncontrollable dread of the prana filcher. The victim
must succeed on a Will saving throw or become
frightened. This is a mind-affecting, fear effect. A
frightened creature flees from the source of its fear
as best as it can. If unable to flee, it may fight. A
frightened creature forced to fight takes a –2
penalty on all attack rolls, saving throws, skill
checks, and ability checks. A frightened creature
can use special abilities, including spells, to flee;
indeed, the creature must use such means if they are
the only way to escape. This effect lasts a number
of rounds equal to the prana filcher’s Constitution
modifier.
Senseless: This symptom momentarily severs
the control the target creature has over its body. The
victim is stunned unless it succeeds on a Fortitude
saving throw. It drops everything it holds, can take
no action, takes a –2 penalty to Armor Class, and
loses its Dexterity bonus to AC (if any). This effect
lasts 2 rounds.
Warriors of the Wild: Prana Filcher – 2
 Slowness: By using this symptom, the prana
filcher drastically reduces the reaction time of his
target. If it does not succeed on a Reflex saving
throw, the target can only take a single move action
or standard action each round, but not both (nor
may it take full-round actions). It also moves at half
its normal speed (rounded down to the next 5-foot
increment). This effect lasts 1 minute.
Strong symptoms:
Confusion: The judgment and cognitive
abilities of the victim of this symptom are suddenly
thrown into confusion. If it does not succeed on a
Will saving throw, the victim becomes confused,
making it unable to independently determine what
it will do. This is a mind-affecting effect that lasts a
number of rounds equal to the prana filcher’s
Constitution modifier. Roll on the following table at
the beginning of each of he victim’s turn to see
what it does in that round.
d% Behavior
01–20 Acts normally
21–50 Does nothing but babble incoherently
51–100 Attacks nearest creature and/or
uses the necessary means to get closer to
the nearest creature if it is out of reach
(for this purpose, a familiar counts as part
of the subject’s self)
A confused creature that cannot carry out the
indicated action does nothing but babble
incoherently. Attackers are not at any special
advantage when attacking a confused creature. Any
confused creature that is attacked automatically
attacks its attackers on its next turn, as long as it is
still confused when its turn comes. Note that a
confused creature will not make attacks of
opportunity against anyone that it is not already
devoted to attacking.
Infirmity: With this symptom, the prana filcher
drastically decreases his victim’s capacity to control
motions and reflexes. The target of this symptom
must succeed on a Reflex saving throw or take a –4
penalty on all attack and damage rolls, Reflex
saving throws, Armor Class, as well as Dexterity-
and Strength-based skills and checks. Moreover, the
victim moves at half its normal speed (rounded
down to the next 5-foot increment). This effect lasts
1 minute. The penalty increases to –6 when the
prana filcher reaches 15th level.
Sleep: A creature affected by this symptom
enters a deep slumber. It must succeed on a Will
saving throw or become helpless. This is a mind-
affecting, sleep effect. Slapping or wounding awakens
the affected creature, but normal noise does not.
Awakening a creature is a standard action. This
effect lasts 2 rounds.
Empathy: This symptom induces a physical
reprogramming of the target’s cerebral and neural
systems. The victim must succeed on a Fortitude
saving throw or become strongly empathic towards
its enemies to the point of being absolutely
incapable of attacking them. For purposes of this
symptom, an attack includes any direct action
against a foe such as an attack with a weapon as
well as a spell or ability targeting a foe or which
area of effect includes a foe. Causing harm
indirectly is not an attack. Thus, an empathic being
can summon monsters and have them attack, cut the
cords holding a rope bridge while enemies are on it,
remotely trigger traps, open a portcullis to release
attack dogs, and so forth. Spells or abilities that
specifically affect allies but not foes (such as bless)
are not attacks for this purpose, even when they
include foes in their area. This effect lasts 1 minute.
Severe symptoms:
Control: The prana filcher creates a blank state
in the psyche of the target and makes it susceptible
to hypnosis. If the victim does not succeed on a
Will saving throw, the prana filcher can
immediately influence its actions by suggesting a
course of activity (limited to a sentence or two).
Once the suggestion has been implanted, it cannot
be changed. Asking the creature to do some
obviously self-harmful act automatically negates
the effect of the symptom. However, anything else
is a valid command—for example, asking it to kill
its allies. The victim keeps trying to perform the
requested action until it succeeds, or until the
symptom’s effect ends. This mind-affecting,
language-dependent effect lasts a number of rounds
equal to the prana filcher’s Constitution modifier,
but ends immediately if the target is attacked by its
new allies.
Feeblemind: This symptom disables the cognitive
functions of the target, effectively giving it the
intellect of an animal. The victim must succeed on a
Fortitude saving throw or its Intelligence and Charisma
scores each drop to 1. The affected creature is
unable to use Intelligence- or Charisma-based skills,
cast spells, understand language, or communicate
coherently. Still, it knows who its friends are and
can follow them and even protect them. The subject
remains in this state for 1 minute.
Paralysis: A prana filcher can paralyze a creature
with this symptom. The victim must succeed on a
Reflex saving throw or become paralyzed (this is a
paralysis effect). The victim is frozen in place and
unable to move or act. It has effective Dexterity and
Strength scores of 0 and is helpless, but can take
purely mental actions. This effect lasts 2 rounds.
Ultimate symptom:
Systemic shock: This is the ultimate step in the
evolution of forceful prana removal. This technique
is so powerful that it slays any one creature. The
target must succeed on a saving throw of the prana
filcher’s choice (Fortitude, Reflex, or Will) to
survive the attack. If the save is successful, the
creature instead takes an amount of damage equal
to 3d6 + the prana filcher’s Constitution score. The
subject might die from damage even if it succeeds
on its saving throw. This is a death effect.

 Designers’ Notes
The prana filcher is a unique and flavorful
take on the fighter-mage-cleric archetype.
The idea was to make the combination
functional by focusing on combat-oriented
abilities and simplifying the use of magic.
The latter was done by using the recharge
mechanism of the breath weapon to
balance an alternate magic system with
few but unlimited-use spells. Because
prana is the ultimate source of health, this
class offers both offensive and defensive
powers, as the prana filcher can pathologically
manipulate his opponents’ energies or
curatively balance that of his allies. The
key to an effective use of this class is to
choose symptoms based on which saving
throw they require and what type of opponent
they best neutralize. Note that, when
designing this class, it was necessary to alter
the conventions on which saving throw
types are associated with which effects, so
pay close attention to these details to
avoid confusion.
Historical Background
Prana is a real-world concept that comes
from the ancient traditions of India.
According to Ayurvedic medicine, prana
sustains life and all natural processes, and
this energy is abundant in the universe.
To be healthy, an organism needs a proper
balance in pranic energies and it is through
breathing that this is first achieved by
practitioners.

Enlarge Inhalation (Su): Brushtil has the ability to
inhale an opponent’s prana at a 10-foot range,
provided that she has line of sight and that her target
does not have cover from an object or creature.
Forceful Prana Removal (Su): As a standard action
that does not provoke attacks of opportunity, Brushtil
can forcefully remove prana from her foes,
causing a variety of detrimental symptoms. She
can choose to cause any symptom she knows but,
once she inhales, she cannot do so again until 1d4
rounds later. There is no limit to the amount of
times per day Brushtil can use this ability.
Known Symptoms:
Empathy: The victim must succeed on a DC 24
Fortitude saving throw or become empathic
towards its enemies to the point of being
absolutely incapable of attacking them. This
effect lasts 1 minute.
Enfeeblement: The target must succeed on a DC
26 Reflex saving throw or take a –8 penalty
on all attack and damage rolls. This effect
lasts 1 minute.
Fever: The victim must succeed on a DC 24
Fortitude save or be forced to make a spell
failure roll (50%) each time it casts a spell,
concentrates on an active spell, directs a
spell, or uses a spell-like ability. The effect
lasts 1 minute.
Injury: This symptom causes 16d6 points of
damage to the target, half of which is transferred
to Brushtil as temporary hit points. The target
can attempt a DC 24 Fortitude saving throw
to reduce the damage in half and negate the
transfer of hit points. The duration of this
effect is instantaneous, while the temporary
hit points remain 5 rounds.
Paralysis: The victim must succeed on a DC 26
Reflex saving throw or become paralyzed
(this is a paralysis effect). The victim is
frozen in place and unable to move or act. It
has effective Dexterity and Strength scores
of 0 and is helpless, but can take purely
mental actions. This effect lasts 2 rounds.
Sleep: A creature affected by this symptom must
succeed on a DC 24 Will saving throw or
become helpless. This is a mind-affecting,
sleep effect. Slapping or wounding awakens
the affected creature, but normal noise does
not. Awakening a creature is a standard action.
This effect lasts 2 rounds.
Slowness: The target must succeed on a DC 26
Reflex saving throw, otherwise it can only
take a single move action or standard action
each turn, but not both (nor may it take full-
round actions). It also moves at half its normal
speed (rounded down to the next 5-foot
increment). This effect lasts 1 minute.
Natural Weapons (Ex): Brushtil’s natural weapons
are treated as magic weapons for the purpose of
overcoming damage reduction.
Pranic Stability (Ex): Brushtil has a +3 bonus on
saving throws made against any effect, magical or
otherwise, that cause the following conditions:
ability damage, ability drain, blinded, confused,
dazed, dazzled, deafened, diseased, exhausted,
fatigued, feebleminded, insanity, nauseated,
sickened, stunned, or poisoned.
Smite Good (Su): Once per day, Brushtil may smite
good, causing an additional 15 points of damage
upon a successful hit.
