Tantrist (Apath)

Unofficial rules compendium

The tantrist is a wizard that channels sexual energies.

A tantrist has the following class features:

Class Skills

The tantrist's class skills are Appraise (Int), Bluff (Cha), Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Fly (Dex), Knowledge (Arcana) (Int), Knowledge (Local) (Int), Knowledge (Religion) (Int), Profession (Wis), and Spellcraft (Int).

Sexual Spell Preparation (ex)

A tantrist has a spellbook, but does not need it to prepare spells. Instead, the tantrist must engage in one hour of sexual activity with another creature to prepare spells. The tantrist's sexual partner must be one he is sexually attracted to, but need not be intelligent. It can be a summoned creature or otherwise under the tantrist's control. The tantrist still needs his spell book to engage in spell research, to scribe new spells, or to create magic items.

Once per day, as a full-round action, the tantrist can prepare any one spell from his spellbook that he is capable of casting. This is in addition to any normal spell preparation for the day.

This replaces the wizard's arcane bond class feature.

Sexual Spell Focus (ex)

At first level a tantrist gains spell focus with a school of spells depending on gender. A male tantrist gains Spell Focus (Evocation) as a bonus feat. A female tantrists gets Spell Focus (Enchantment) as a bonus feat. A genderless or undead tantrist gains Spell Focus (Necromancy) as a bonus feat. This replaces the Scribe Scroll bonus feat wizards gain at first level.
