[edit] Blessed of Boccob

“	"Boccob knows. He is the keeper of truth and magic. He will not discriminate. Open yourself to him, and see."	”
—Unknown author, Biblia Arcanum

Boccob is a god of Knowledge and Magic. Some who wish to benefit from his knowledge or become more powerful in magical ability actively pledge themselves to furthering his causes in exchange.

[edit] Becoming a Blessed of Boccob

Characters who become blessed of Boccob are typically clerics for him, devoted to his causes, although they may rarely be druids. Being able to cast arcane spells, they generally are also wizards, as sorcerers sometimes do become Blessed, but usually lack the focus to do so. Bards, Rogues, Rangers, and Paladins are almost unheard of as Blessed. As divine spellcasters, they usually benefit from a high wisdom, and as arcane spellcasters, they usually benefit from a high intelligence or charisma (depending on their arcane spellcasting class).

The Epic Blessed of Boccob: This class does not progress past 10 levels.

[edit] Class Features

As a Blessed of Boccob advances, he becomes more skilled in the arts of magic, blending divine and arcane magic, and more readily altering spells.

All of the following are class features of the Blessed of Boccob.

Spellcasting: At each level, you gain new spells per day and an increase in caster level (and spells known, if applicable) as if you had also gained a level in one arcane spellcasting class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level and one divine spellcasting class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level. You do not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If you had more than two spellcasting classes before becoming a Blessed of Boccob, you must decide to which classes to add each level for the purpose of determining spells per day, caster level, and spells known.

<-spell-like class feature-> (Sp): <-class feature game rule information, including any differences in the class feature at epic levels->

<-supernatural class feature-> (Su): <-class feature game rule information, including any differences in the class feature at epic levels->

Improved Metamagic: A Blessed of Boccob gains Improved Metamagic at 3rd, 6th, and 9th level. This reduces the meta magic cost by 1 to a minimum of +1.

Magical Meld: A Blessed of Boccob prepares and performs arcane and divine magic similarly. A Blessed may prepare all his spells by study or prayer or some combination of the two. He need not carry a divine focus to perform divine magic. If one of his classes cast spells spontaneously (such as a sorcerer), he may choose a number of spells equal to half his spells known at each level to learn from his other classes' spell list (a sorcerer could learn cleric spells, for example). Each time his number of spells known increases by two in a level, he learns a new spell of that level from the other classes' spell list.

Ability Meld: The Blessed of Boccob applies his intelligence or charisma (whichever one applies to his arcane spellcasting) modifier to save DCs of his divine spells. He also applies his wisdom modifier to the save DCs of his arcane spells.

Improved Magical Meld: The Blessed of Boccob may prepare arcane spells in his divine spell slots, and vice versa, as long as he could normally prepare at least one spell of that level. He may use prepared spell slots to cast spontaneously, if one of his classes does so.

Bonus Feats: A Blessed of Boccob gains a bonus feat at 1st, 4th, 7th,8th, and 10th levels. This feat may be a metamagic or item creation feat.
