Quasinaught

There is no such thing as a quasinaught. This is a completely true, and irrevocable fact, yet this does not stop them from doing things. These facts make quasinaughts infinitely dangerous, something to be avoided at every expense, for fear of being touched by that which isn't real, for fear of being doused in unexistance. Quasinaughts exist as holes in reality, almost as gateways into the inphysical, and the inconcievable. Quasinaughts are individuals who have a negative to existance within themselves, who blend seemlessly with that which is paradoxial, that which is uncomprehendable, yet they still exist, jutting out into the material vein with their perversion of existance, and contorting it to their every whim.

Making a Quasinaught

Quasinaughts are unplacable foes upon the battlefield, who can exceed even the most practiced knight with but a thought, who can strike down seasoned warriors with a mere flick of a hand, and who can drive men mad with a whispered word in the night. They are impossible warriors who can hold their own on the battlefield with little effort, and who can seemingly overwhelm any foe, with ease. A quasinaught is truly a mutable foe to face, one that should never be underestimated.

Abilities: To a quasinaught, Intelligence sticks out as the most vital ability score to invest in, considering that their core class features hinge on it. Though, after this, any ability score can be vabuable to a quasinaught, due to their actuality class feature, though, Strength is usually very important to a quasinaught, for the purpose of accuracy and Dexterity and Constitution are both useful, for the purpose of their saving throws, their AC, and their hp. The least important ability scores to quasinaughts, are Wisdom and Charisma, though, they both can be useful to a skil oriented character.

Races: Any.

Alignment: Any.

Class Features

All of the following are class features of the quasinaught.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A pseudonaught is proficient with all simple and martial weapons and with light armor and shields, but not tower shields.

Table: Actuality
Ability Score	Dependant Stat
Strength	Damage calculated from having a high Strength score.
Dexterity	Dexterity bonus to AC.
Constitution	Hit points gained from having a high Constitution score.
Intelligence	Skill points gained from having a high Intelligence score.
Wisdom	Wisdom bonus to all Wisdom based skills
Charisma	Charisma bonus to all Charisma based skills

Actuality (Ex): A quasinaught is a physical impossibility, something that, by virtue of what it is, cannot be. This removes certain limitations upon quasinaughts, allowing them to do things in way that make no sense, and to rewrite the world around them with but a thought. At first level, a quasinaught selects two ability scores. These two ability scores switch with each other in some regards to certain stats of the quasinaught. Each ability score has a corresponding dependant stat, as shown on Table: Actuality, and, when both ability scores are selected, then the dependant stats for these ability scores switch with other. So, for example, a quasinaught who selected Dexterity and Charisma would add his Charisma to his AC, instead of Dexterity, and would add his Dexterity to all Charisma based skills, instead of Charisma.

Know the Endless (Ex): A quasinaught is unexistance, and unexistance is found within a quasinaught. This fact lends a quasinaught protection, as long as he is aware of it. A quasinaught adds his Intelligence bonus (if any) as a deflection bonus to his AC. If the quasinaught is wearing a piece of armor that has a maximum Dex bonus, then the deflection bonus is restricted by this maximum Dex bonus in the same way his Dex bonus is restricted by it.

Unreal Rend: To a quasinaught, the physical world is alien, and fragile, easily brought to an untimely end. At second level, a quasinaught gains the ability to designate any attack he makes as an unreal rend by sacrificing (1 + the quasinaught's Intelligence modifier) hit points. A unreal rend is resolved as a normal attack, but adds +1, and the quasinaughts Intelligence modifier, as a distortion bonus to both attack roll and damage. The distortion bonus to attack roll and damage this class feature grants, and the hit point cost required to make an attack an unreal rend, each increases by 1 at every two level after 2^nd (4^th, 6^th, 8^th, 10^th, 12^th, etc.).

Fast Healing (Ex): A quasinaught isn't real, and as such, they find it difficult, at times, to conform to the rigid pathways led by the flow of time, and can gain the benefit of many hours of rest, in instances. At third level, A quasinaught regains hit points at an extraordinarally fast rate, regaining 1 hit point per round, as long as he has at least 1 hit point remaining. The ammount that the quasinaught heals each round increases by 1 every 3 levels after third (6^th, 9^th, 12^th, 15^th, and 18^th).

Uncanny Dodge (Ex): A quasinaught is able to see, and conform to, the flow of the world with spuernatural ease. At fifth level, a quasinaught can react to danger before his senses would normally allow him to do so. He retains his Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) even if he is caught flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker. However, he still loses his Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized.

If a quasinaught already has uncanny dodge from a different class he automatically gains improved uncanny dodge (see below) instead.

Undone Focus (Ex): A quasinaught eventually grows into their impossible power, heightening themselves to a new degree of power. At fifth level, a quasinaught selects one of the two ability scores he selected with his Actuality class feature, and gains a +2 bonus to that ability score. This bonus is unique and permenant, never going away, and stacking with all other bonuses to ability scores. At ninth level, and every four levels there after (13^th, 17^th, etc.), the quasinaught gains another +2 bonus to one of the two ability scores he selected with his Actuality class feature. A quasinaught can select the same ability scores twice, and this bonus stack with itself.

Anticipate: Eventually, a quasinaught learns to know of the flow of a battle before it even begins. At seventh level, a quasinaught gains the ability to act normally in a surprise round, no matter the circumstances.

Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex): A quasinaught seems to be so centered at times, that nothing, truly nothing can catch him unaware. A quasinaught of tenth level or higher can no longer be flanked. This defense denies a rogue the ability to sneak attack the character by flanking him, unless the rogue has at least four more rogue levels than the quasinaught.

Physical Schism (Ex): A quasinaught is so far away from true existance, that he can actually tear people away from it with his mere presence, letting them feel truly forsaken within the undone. At eleventh level, a quasinaught gains the ability to, once a round, select a single character whom he can see. The character selected loses the ability to take attacks of opportunity until the beginning of the quasinaughts next round, at which point the quasinaught may select another character, or the same character.

Spacial Error (Ex): A quasinaught is something that is beyond the dry restrictions of the physcial, of space, of shape, and who can, after a time, ignore these things, stretching out past what they would normally be able to. At thirteenth level, a quasinaught gains a 5 foot increase in his reach with all weapons he weilds. The is still able to strike foes that he would normally have been able to hit if it weren't for this increase in reach, but may now strike foes that are farther away.

Material Schism (Ex): Eventually, a quasinaught grows strong enough, powerful enough, that it seems he cannot be touched at all, as he moves, slipping away from attacks with an almost unsettling smoothness. At seventeenth level, no character can never take an attacks of opportunity that the quasinaught provoked, making them essentially immune to attacks of opportunity.

Unbreakable (Ex): The blood of a quasinaught is constantly flowing with forces that should not even exist, this fact eventually changes the quasinaughts body into something virtually indestructable. At nineteenth level, a quasinaught gains immunity to nonlethal damage, with only one exception: if a quasinaught has regeneration of any kind, then he still takes nonlethal damage that would normally be lethal damage if it weren't for the regeneration.
