Smoker (3.5e Class)
From D&D Wiki

[edit] Smoker
An Allomancer burning copper is able to hide themselves and others from "Seekers" by hiding Allomantic vibrations caused by burning metals. The radius of effect around an Allomancer burning copper is known as a "coppercloud" (Hence the name copper Mistings go by). In strike teams copper-burning Allomancers are extremely helpful to keep from being caught by a Seeker, or a Mistborn burning bronze. In addition, by burning copper, one is immune to emotional Allomancy (though this immunity is not shared by others within the coppercloud). When using Allomancy, Mistborn will usually burn this metal first before using other metals in order to hide their Allomantic powers from Steel Inquisitors or other Allomancers. A misting who can only burn Copper is known as a "Coppercloud" or "Smoker".

[edit] Class Features
Smokers produce abilities that allow them to remain hidden from fellow allomancers.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Smokers have proficiency in Simple, and Martial Weapons, and have all Armor Proficiencies (Light, Medium, and Heavy.) They have no proficiency for shields, and may not use them.
Burn Metal (Ex): At the 1st level an Allomancer is able to ‘burn’ metal by ingesting a small portion. This is considered a swift action and is required to use any ability that extends out from the metal. As each metal burns at a different rate the table below shows how many actions can be used for each reserve of metal. Burning a metal of alloy that is impure may result in sickness or in the most extreme cases near death. Allomancers known as Smokers, have the ability to burn Copper, which allows them to hide themselves and others from "Seekers" by dampening allomantic vibrations caused by burning metals. This allows one to become immune to scrying and emotional based skills, add a +2 bonus roll to fear based spells or abilities, and effectively hide them from other allomancer’s senses in the form a +4 hide bonus. This effect encompasses 10 feet from the Allomancer.
| Impure Metal Burning | Roll Result |
|---|---|
| No Negative Effects | 1-20 |
| Minor Metal Sickness (-30% HP) | 21-40 |
| Moderate Metal Sickness (-50% HP) | 41-60 |
| Major Metal Sickness (-50% HP, -2 Str, -2 Dex) | 61-80 |
| Deathly Metal Sickness (-80% HP, -2 Str, -2 Dex, -2 Con) | 81-100 |
| Metal | Metal’s Ability | Ability Burn Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Tin | Enhance Senses | 20 Actions |
| Bronze | Seeker Sense | 18 Actions |
| Zinc | Riot Emotions | 14 Actions |
| Brass | Sooth Emotions | 14 Actions |
| Copper | Copper Cloud | 10 Actions |
| Pewter | Predator’s Grace | 8 Actions |
| Steel | Steel Push | 8 Actions |
| Iron | Iron Pull | 8 Actions |
| Antium | Glimpse Future | 1 Action |
Stoic (Su): While burning copper, a Smoker my now elect to elect to become immune from emotional/mind effects. At the cost of 1 action point and shrinking their copper cloud to only protect themselves (5 ft).
Copper Field (Su): Smokers who are targeted by Allomancer effects that deal damage may make a Will check to see if they deal a portion of damage in return to the Alloamncer. If they make a successful Will Check Vs the the spell's DC, they return 20% of the spell's damage (Minimum 1.)
Smoker’s Shadow (Su): At this level the Smoker has become very adept at causing “Copper-Shaodws”. This allows a Smoker to appear to be in two places at once (3 actions) or three places (5 Actions). Effectively adding a +3 or +5 to a deflection ac.
Metal Bunker (Su): The Smoker may now use metal freely inside their copper cloud without the risk of it being pushed or pulled. This effective adds an additional 1d6 damage to any strike while fighting an allomancer.

Adaptation: Smokers is a class more designed to be an enemy in a High-Magic campaign, or an ally in a Low-Magic Campaign. However, the class is workable towards player characters, as well.
