Augur (Apath)

Unofficial rules compendium

The augur is a sacredote focused on determining the will of fate and the higher powers. Augurs divine the future and petition for good fortune and answers to questions great and small. Tough their innate understanding of the omens of nature, an augur can give good advice and seemingly change fate.

Class Features

This archetype has all normal class features, except as noted.

Augur Spells

An augur adds the following spells to his domain spell list at the indicated levels.

1st—identify, 2nd—augury, 3rd—speak with dead, 4th—divination, 5th—commune, 6th—find the path, 7th—legend lore, 8th—discern location, 9th—foresight.

Good Omens(Su)

By reading and interpreting omens, an augur can coax fate. As an immediate action that expends a prepared spell, the augur can modify a die roll, adding a number equal to the level of the spell expended. This is done after the result of the roll is determined, possibly changing the outcome of the roll. Read omens can modify attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, attribute checks, and initiative checks. When used to modify initiative checks, read omen is not an action. The augur must be aware that an action is taking place this instant in order to modify that action, but need not see the action performed and the range is unlimited. Read omen cannot make an attack roll into a critical threat, but it can help confirm a critical threat. The spell can be either a cleric spell or a domain spell and is expended as if cast without having any of its normal effect. This replaces channel spells and all bonus dice of channel spell damage.

Bonus Feats

At level 3 and every 4 levels thereafter (at 3rd, 7th, 11th, 15th, and 19th level) a sacredote gains a bonus feat. At each such opportunity, he can choose a metamagic feat, an item creation feat, Divination Guide, Diviner's Delving, or Spell Focus (Divination). The sacredote must still meet all prerequisites for a bonus feat, including caster level minimums. These bonus feats are in addition to the feat that a character of any class gets from advancing levels.

Bad Omens (Su)

Gained at 9th level, this is the same as good omens above, except that it can subtract from a die roll instead of adding. The augur can expend a spell no higher in level than his Intelligence bonus on this ability.

The augur must see the target to use this ability. This replaces manifestation from level 9.

World of Signs (Ex)

At 9th level and 17th level, the augur gains an additional immediate action each round, that can only be used with good omens (above) but not work with bad omens or greater omen (below). This replaces manifestation from level 9 and 17.

Greater Omen (Su)

At level 13, when a group of people all need to make a die roll in response to an event or as part of a collective effort, the augur can use good omens (above), and add the level of the spell expended to the roll each ally makes, as long as the rolls are all made in the same round. This can help with things like saving throws against spells with multiple targets, Swim checks to survive a tidal wave, or Strength checks to lift an immense weight. This replaces manifestation from level 13.

In addition to the stated number of spells per day for 1st- through 9th-level spells, a sacredote gets an equal number of domain spells for each spell level, starting at 1st. The "x+x" in the entries on this table represents these extra spells. Bonus spells the sacredote may receive for having a high intelligence score apply to both regular spells and domain spells separately and is thus applied twice.
