Heartwarder
Heartwarder
(PRESTIGE CLASS: This class is not available at character creation and must be unlocked by meeting special requirements, listed below.)
Heartwarders follow the teachings of their patron goddess Sune and seek to encourage love and enjoyment of all things in life. Heartwarders often serve wealthy patrons and in turn are served by others to help bring together men and women seeking love and intimacy, as well as to bring pure pleasure through art, music, and other enjoyable pursuits.
Sometimes, heartwarders are forced to take a less peaceful route and members of the order oppose all forms of cruelty and tyranny. Although heartwarders do not relish battle, they are thrilled by the pursuit of beauty or joy and are accepting of the fact that sometimes these goals cannot be obtained by another other means. Even so, Sune's heartwarders are rarely soldiers by choice and prefer instead to shield others from harm

Class Features
- Hit Die: d4
- Base Attack Bonus: Medium
- High Saves: Fortitude and Will
- Weapon Proficiencies: Heartwarders gain no weapon proficiencies
- Armor Proficiencies: Heartwarders gain no armor proficiencies.
- Skill Points: 2 + Int modifier per level
- Spells per Day/Spells Known: When a new heartwarder level is gained, the character gains new spells per day (and spells known, if applicable) as though she had gained a level in whatever spellcasting class gave her access to 3rd-level spells. If the character has more than one applicable spellcasting class, she must pick one to improve.
- Charisma Increase: As the heartwarder gains levels in this prestige class, she becomes increasingly more persuasive and attractive. At level 1 she gains a +1 inherent bonus to her Charisma score as per the Great Charisma feat, and every other heartwarder level after that this bonus increases by +1. To a maximum of +5 at level 9.
- Heart of Passion: At 2nd level, a heartwarder evinces such passionate belief in whatever she does or says that she can sway the thoughts of the most rigid critic. This ability translates into a +2 bonus on all Charisma-based skill checks.
- Lips of Rapture: At 4th level, a heartwarder's kiss confers a state of bliss upon its recipient, conferring a +2 morale bonus on attacks, weapon damage, skill checks and saving throws, with an additional +2 against mind affecting spells or abilities. This ability lasts 5 rounds and can be used a number of times per day equal to her Charisma bonus. The one downside of the heartwarder's kiss is that it also has the effect of a daze spell upon the recipient as if cast by a sorcerer of the heartwarder's level (saving throw still applies).
- Voice of a Siren: At 6th level, a heartwarder's voice is so enticing that she weakens the ability of opponents to resist her spells. She gains the Greater Spell Focus (Enchantment) and Spell Penetration feats.
- Tears of Evergold: At 8th level, as a full round action, a heartwarder can cry tears drawn from Evergold, a sacred pool that enhances beauty that Sune shares with the elven goddess Hanali Celanil. These tears serve as holy water and the power of the pool can be called upon once per week at the cost of 6 experience points.
- Fey Metamorphosis: At 10th level, a heartwarder is so attuned to the forces of natural beauty that she transcends mortal definitions of beauty. She gains spell immunity to Charm Person, Hold Person and Dominate Person.
