[edit] Class Features

<-fluff about class features->. All of the following are class features of the tyro.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: An tyro is proficient with all simple weapons, with rapiers, shortbows, and shortswords, and with no armour or shields.

Note that wearing armour heavier than leather imposes a penalty to the ranger skills Climb, Hide, Jump, and Move Silently. Swim checks also suffer a –1 penalty for every 5 lbs. of armour or equipment carried.

Metamorphosis: At 1st Level the tyro gains the ability Metamorphosis. Upon gaining a level, an tyro may cease being an tyro, turning all levels thereof into levels in some other class. This has the following effects: First she loses all her levels in the class, including the associated hit dice. The tyro base attack bonus, base saving throw bonuses, and special class abilities are now reduced to the new, lower level. Likewise, the tyro loses any ability score gain, skill ranks, and any feat associated with the levels (if applicable). If the exact ability score or skill ranks increased from a level now lost is unknown (or the player has forgotten), lose 1 point from the highest ability score or ranks from the highest-ranked skills. if a familiar or companion creature has abilities tied to an tyro who is ceasing to be an tyro, the creature’s abilities are adjusted to fit the character’s new level. Only levels in tyro are lost, levels in other classes and racial hit dice are unaffected. The tyro experience point total is immediately set to the midpoint of the previous level. Then e regains the experience points one level at a time, at each level gaining the normal benefits (and penalties, including multiclass penalties) except as stated below. This continues until the character’s experience point total is back where it was before, less any penalties (such as multiclass penalties). All of the new levels must be in classes with at least 6 skill points per level (not counting Int modifiers), and none of the new levels may be in an class with metamorphosis or any similar ability.

The loss of tyro levels, and gain of replacement levels, are not reversible short of a wish.

Note that a number of class features described below are improvements on Metamorphosis. As many of these improvements as desired may be applied to the same use of Metamorphosis.

Illiteracy: tyro do not automatically know how to read and write. An tyro may spend 2 skill points to gain the ability to read and write all languages e is able to speak. An already literate character who gains a level in tyro retains literacy. A barbarian who gains a level in tyro does not therefore become literate.

Tagalong: At 2nd Level the tyro gains the ability Tagalong. The tyro counts as one level lower for purposes of determining appropriate opposition. The tyro counts as an additional level lower for these purposes for each additional four class levels gained.

Instant Metamorphosis: At 2nd Level the tyro gains the ability Instant Metamorphosis. This differs from Metamorphosis as follows: Instant Metamorphosis is a free action. Instant Metamorphosis has a 10% failure chance. If the Metamorphosis fails, the tyro may try again next turn. Such objects as spellbooks do not appear, even if starting with such an item is a class feature. If the new class has one or more abilities which require preparation (such as spellcasting), the former tyro is treated as having taken up to one hour of preparation.

Improved Metamorphosis: At 5th Level the tyro gains the ability Improved Metamorphosis. On a successful use of Metamorphosis, the tyro may rearrange her ability scores (Str, Dex, Con, Int, Wis, and Cha). Any racial adjustments thereof are subtracted before rearranging, and added again after doing so. This change is not reversible short of a wish.

True Metamorphosis: At 7th Level the tyro gains the ability True Metamorphosis. On a successful use of Metamorphosis, the tyro may change her race. All ECL adjustments are applied before any experience is regained, and the experience needed to gain a level is adjusted appropriately. This change is reversible short of a wish.

Contingent Metamorphosis: At 9th Level the tyro gains the ability Contingent Metamorphosis. The tyro may set Instant Metamorphosis to go off under certain conditions, as if it were a spell cast with the contingency spell. Changing or dropping the contingency is a free action.

Impressive Metamorphosis (Su): At 11th Level the tyro gains the ability Impressive Metamorphosis. One or more spell effects will go off on a successful use of Metamorphosis. The total spell levels in effect may not exceed the amount specified. (0th level spells count as ½ level each.) Only spells from the cleric, druid, and/or sorcerer lists will go off. No spell with an XP cost will go off. The spells must affect a target, targets, or area. If a spell affects a target or targets, the tyro must be a selected target. If a spell affects an area, it is centred on the tyro. The spell effects are selected by the player (not the character) within the above restrictions.

[edit] Multi-Class Tyros

A character with one or more levels in tyro may not take levels in any other class. Note that an tyro using Metamorphosis is considered to lose all her levels in tyro before gaining levels in any other class (es).

[edit] Ex-Tyros

A character who has used Metamorphosis is no longer an tyro, but may multi-class into tyro normally.
