Anarch
- "Your world and your rules cannot contain me."
Freedom, randomness, entropy - these are the essences of Chaos, in the Trinity sense. While the Blue is constricting with its memories and insistence that cause precedes effect, and Time's assures that all things move forward in lockstep unless otherwise told, Chaos is the memory that can't stay put, the time that can't be pinned down. Chaos laughs in the face of causality, and mocks the certainty of the passage of time.
For the anarch, Chaos is supreme. Too many Forces are insistent that there are rules to be followed, or none to be broken in the first place - but Chaos would demand otherwise. Nothing can be contained forever, nothing goes on forever. The anarch grabs a hold of all these wildly disparate concepts that Chaos is composed of and mashes them together, wielding the power of uncertainty and lawlessness to whatever end seems best at the moment.
Game Rule Information
Anarchs have the following game statistics.
Force Alignment: Chaos.
Force Resistances: UO 5 + level, TO 5 + level.
Abilities: Charisma is the most important ability for an anarch. To laugh in the face of causality requires a good deal of strength of personality, of certainty in the self. Wisdom is also important, as it allows the anarch to pull forth more raw power from the Chaos.
- Special: If using the Luck ability score, the anarch's avaos are based off of Luck, rather than Charisma (in essence, whenever you see "Charisma," replace it with "Luck").
Hit Die: d6.
Class Skills: The Anarch’s class skills are Avaocraft (Int), Balance (Dex), Bluff (Cha), Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Disguise (Cha), Escape Artist (Dex), Gather Information (Cha), Intimidate (Cha), Open Lock (Dex), Search (Per), Sense Motive (Wis), Sleight of Hand (Dex), and Tumble (Dex).
Skill Points at Each Level: 2 + Int.
Alignment: Any chaotic.
Starting Age: As a rogue.
Starting Gold: 4d4 x 10gp.
Favored By: None.
Class Features
All of the following are class features of the anarch.
Weapons and Armor Proficiency: Anarchs are proficient with simple weapons and light armor, but not shields.
Avaos (Av): Avaos are the raw essence of Chaos - fuelled by randomness, the anarch can call upon these abilities.
Each day, the anarch chooses a number of avaos. These are avaos he chooses to study, and they allow him to call upon Chaotic abilities that are removed from their normal cause or effect. However, in exchange, they are not nearly as powerful as when the anarch uses them in their natural state; Avaos that are used in this manner are Active avaos.
An anarch may use his Active avaos as many times per day as he wishes.
A number of avaos have random durations. These durations are determined in secret by the DM, and the anarch is incapable of determining their precise duration.
Note that not all avaos may have an Active use; if this is the case, the avao cannot be readied as Active.
All anarchs have access to all avaos of the appropriate grade; at 1st level, an anarch only has access to Subtle avaos, but as he progresses, he learns to tap into more powerful aspects of Chaos. At 5th level, he gains access to Lesser avaos; at 10th, he gains access to Greater avaos; and at 15th, he gains access to Overwhelming avaos.
Saving throw DCs for avaos is always set based upon the anarch's Charisma. The base DC for Subtle avaos is 11; for Lesser, 13; for Greater, 15; and for Overwhelming, 17.
The anarch must have a Charisma score of 12 or higher to access Subtle avaos; a score of 14 or higher to access Lesser avaos; a score of 16 or higher to access Greater avaos; and a score of 18 or higher to access Overwhelming avaos.
Trigger Slots (Ex): No matter what avaos the anarch has readied each day, he always has access to Chaos in its natural state.
Each day, an anarch has a number of Trigger Slots, which he can use to activate any avao of the grades he knows (see Avaos, above). Whenever an avao would be Triggered, the anarch may choose whether or not to trigger it; if he does so, he may expend a Trigger slot to activate the avao. Using an avao in this manner uses the avao's Causal activation.
In addition, the anarch may use a Trigger Slot to activate an avao. Using an avao in this manner uses the avao's Precausal activation.
The higher grade the avao, the more difficult it is to trigger. A subtle avao requires only 1 trigger slot to trigger; a lesser avao requires 2 trigger slots; a greater avao requires 4 trigger slots; and an overwhelming avao requires 8 trigger slots.
Note that not all Avaos have a Causal or Precausal use.
Using a Trigger Slot is always an immediate action.
An anarch gains bonus Trigger Slots equal to his Wisdom modifier.
Limitless Reaction (Ex): Unlike other characters, an anarch is not limited to one immediate action each round. Instead, an anarch can take any number of immediate actions each round, provided that he expends Trigger Slots to do so (in this way, an anarch can trigger any number of avaos in a round, but only take a single normal immediate action).
Chaos Trigger (Ch): Whenever the anarch triggers an avao (by expending a Trigger slot), the anarch suffers a cosmetic change with severity roughly equivalent to the grade of avao triggered.
For instance, a Subtle avao being triggered might cause an anarch's hair color to change slightly, or his eye color to change completely.
A Lesser avao might cause his hair to completely change color, or for the coloration of his clothing to change slightly.
A Greater avao might cause his clothing to completely change appearance, or his whole appearance to change slightly (but still the same gender and race).
An Overwhelming avao might cause his appearance to change drastically, possibly even changing apparent race or gender.
These changes offer no actual benefits or penalties; they are merely cosmetic. The effects last one minute, after which they go away (if the effect arose due to a Subtle avao), or the effect lessens so as to be similar to an effect due to a less powerful avao (for instance, the side-effects of a Lesser avao would remain for one minute, after which time the side-effects would lessen to those of a Subtle avao for one minute).
Sense Chaos (Ch): At 2nd level, the anarch has become attuned to the powers of Chaos, such that he can detect them at will. The anarch gains detect magic as a permanent chaotic effect, replacing "magic" with "chaos." The anarch must concentrate to activate this ability, but he can do so at will, and cease using it at will.
Anarch Talent: At tenth level, and every two levels thereafter, the anarch's ability to bend reality to his whim improves. He may select one of the following talents.
- Free Will (Ch): Effects that attempt to ascertain your future, either by predicting or predetermining it, fail unless their user can make a Force-user check against DC 11 + your anarchist level.
- Where Am I? (Ch): Creatures that attempt to scry upon you or use similar means of remote viewing must make a Force-user check against DC 11 + your anarchist level, or else the attempt fails; a creature that fails cannot attempt to scry upon you again for 24 hours. (Prerequisites: Free Will)
- Who Are You? (Ch): Creatures that attempt to ascertain facts about you (such as via creature loresight) via non-mundane means must make a Force-user check against DC 11 + your anarchist level, or else the attempt fails to return any useful information. A creature that fails this check cannot attempt to use such means to learn information about you again for 24 hours. (Prerequisites: Free Will)
- What Year Is This? (Ch): Creatures that attempt to gain access to your memories, learn of events for which you were present, or glean information regarding your personal timeline must make a Force-user check against DC 11 + your anarchist level, or else the attempt fails; a creature that fails cannot attempt to access your memories, learn of events for which you were present, or glean information regarding your timeline for 24 hours. (Prerequisites: Free Will)
- Where Are My Pants? (Ch): Creatures that attempt to learn information from items that have been in your possession for at least 24 hours (such as by using object loresight) must make a Force-user check against DC 11 + your anarchist level, or else the attempt fails. A creatures that fails to learn information from such an item cannot attempt to learn information regarding that item for 24 hours. (Prerequisites: Free Will)
- You're Not My Real Mom! (Ch): Effects that would force the anarch to behave in a certain manner (such as charm person) fail unless their origin can make a Force-user check against DC 11 + your anarchist level. A creature that fails at such an attempt cannot attempt to use abilities to force the anarch to act or otherwise control his actions for 24 hours. (Prerequisites: Free Will)
- Infinite Chaos (Av): Choose one active use of an avao you can access with a duration measured in minutes or higher. When you activate that avao, its effect lasts for 24 hours. You can choose this talent more than once; each time you do, choose a new avao.
- When Will It Stop? (Av): Choose one active, causal, or precausal use of an avao you can access with a duration measured in rounds. When you activate that avao, it lasts for an additional 1d6 rounds/four anarch levels. You can choose this talent more than once; each time you do, choose a new avao. (Prerequisites: Infinite Chaos)
- My Rules (Av): You gain access to the my rules avao. (Prerequisites: Anarchist level 16th+, must be able to access Overwhelming avaos)
- Surprise (Av): When you could make an attack of opportunity, you may instead use an active use of an avao.
- Feat: The anarch may gain a bonus feat in place of a talent.
