Blood Elf
Racial Traits
As High Elf, with the following changes:
- Weapon Proficiency: Blood elves receive for free the Martial Weapon Proficiency feats for the longbow, composite longbow, short sword, and warblade.
- Bonus Languages: Darnassian, Dwarven, Eredun, Goblin, Kalimag, Nazja, and Orcish.
- Favored Class: Warlock.
- Racial Levels: Blood elf racial levels differ slightly. Instead of Empower Magic, they gain the following:
- Mana Tap: The blood elf may, through a single touch, steal mana from a target and use it for itself. If the blood elf spends a standard action and succeeds on a touch attack that provokes an attack of opportunity, he steals one 0-level or 1st level spell slot from the target. If the target has no more mana, or is inable to cast spells, this ability does nothing.
The blood elf may then use this spell energy to power one of his spell-like abilities, or an appropriete blood elf feat (see below). Alternately, a blood elf caster may use this stolen spell energy to cast any 0-level or 1st level spell he has prepared. Lastly, the blood elf may expend one unit of stolen mana to sate his magic addition for a number of days equal to 1 + his spirit modifier, as if he drank demon blood.
The blood elf must expend this stolen mana within one hour of the theft, or the energy fades away harmlessly. At any one time, the blood elf may store no more than 1 + his Intellect modifier in stolen mana. Any mana stolen past this amount fades away.
Arcane Torrent [General Feat]
The blood elf releases a torrent of powerful arcane energy, stunning those around him.
Prerequisites: Must have 3 levels of Blood Elf.
Benefit: By expending stolen mana (through the use of his mana tap ability) and a standard action, those within 30 feet of the blood elf must succeed on a Will saving throw or be stunned for 1d4 rounds. The DC to resist this ability is equal to 10 + the number of stolen spell slots expended + the blood elf's Charisma bonus. The blood elf must expend a minimum of 1 stollen spell slot to use this ability.
Special: Blood elf casters may instead expend up to 4 0-level or 1st level spell slots as a standard action to use this ability.
Recharge [General Feat]
By using this feat, the blood elf may expend stolen mana to recharge one of his class special abilities.
Prerequisites: Must have 3 levels of Blood Elf.
Benefit: By expending a stolen mana (through the use of his mana tap ability) as a free action, the blood elf may regain one use per day of a class's special ability, such as a paladin's auras or a barbarian's rages per day.
Special: Blood elf casters may instead expend 1 0-level or 1st level spell slot to recharge class abilities.
I kept the old Mana Tap spell as a new spell and, with advice from a friend, upgraded the spell to 2nd level.
Mana Siphon
Evocation
Level: Arcanist 2
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target: One creature
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
Blood elves divised this spell to sate their appetites for mana. By focusing on a target, the caster may attempt to absorb minor gouts of mana from the target. If the target fails his Will save, he looses one 0-level or 1st level spell slot (caster's choice). The caster regains the same spell slot the target lost. If the target has no 0-level or 1st level spell slots left, even if he has higher level spell slots available, then this spell automatically fails.
Oh and I still have that frozen tuna, if you think of stealing these racial traits and claiming them as your own.
