Your powers derive from your understanding of the world, physics, and mechanisms. You might have some gnome blood, come from a long line of engineers, or traps played an important part in the fate of you or your family. Whatever the reason, your magic has a special touch for locks, traps, and machinery.

Class Features

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

Bonus Spells

A burlglar mage learns the following spells at the indicated levels, adding them to his known spells and spell list, as applicable.

Vanish (3rd), acid arrow (5th), rusting grasp (as a 3rd level Sorcerer spell) (7th), named bullet (9th), animate object (as a 5th level sorcerer spell) (11th), major creation (13th), forcecage (15th), iron body (17th), wooden phalanx (19th). This replaces bloodline bonus spells.

Trapfinding (Su)

A burglar mage adds ½ her level to Perception skill checks made to locate traps and to Disable Device skill checks (minimum +1). A burglar mage can use Disable Device to disarm magic traps. This replaces the bloodline power gained at level 1.

Telekinetic Tinkering (Sp)

At 3rd level, a burglar mage can use the Disable Device skill at close range (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels), substituting tools with telekinesis. This ability can also be used with an immediate action to set off any known trap within range. Against a trap that the burglar mage has set herself or bypassed using Disable Device, this is automatic. Against a trap which is known, including one the burglar mage has disabled herself, it requires a Disable Device check against the disarm difficulty of the trap. This replaces the bloodline power gained at level 3.

Trap Sense (Su)

At 9th level, a burglar mage gains an magical sense that alerts her to danger from traps, giving her a +1 bonus on Reflex saves made to avoid traps and a +1 dodge bonus to AC against attacks made by traps. These bonuses rise to +2 when the burglar mage reaches 12th level, to +3 when she reaches 15th level, and to +4 at 18th level. Trap sense bonuses gained from multiple classes stack. This replaces the bloodline power gained at level 91.

Trap Mastery (Su)

At 15th level the burglar mage always succeeds at saving throws against the effects of traps. Traps that do not allow saving throws but cause hit point or attribute damage only inflict half damage to the burglar mage. This replaces the bloodline power gained at level 15.

Immune to Traps (Su)

At 20th level, a burglar mage never triggers traps-it is as if she did not exist as far as the trap is concerned. When she normally would, she can instead make a Perception check to notice the trap. She can still deliberately trigger a trap. She gains an SR of 11 + sorcerer level against the effects of magical traps triggered deliberately or by others. Symbols, wards and other trap-like magics count as traps for this ability, but magical walls do not. This replaces the bloodline power gained at level 20.
