3rd Edition Avenger
This is my version of the avenger class, it is a rough draft but it is fairly workable. Presented first is the stand alone class, listed afterward is the avenger as a prestige class:
Alignment: tends toward choatic
Benefits:
The avenger gains bonus feats like a fighter but at a slower rate. These feats are gained every 3 levels after 1st level, meaning that every level that a character would get another feat, the avenger gets their bonus feat. (note this bonus feat is not gained at first level, only every 3rd level thereafter).
-at first level an avenger must purchase the indignation feat
-an avenger can specialize like a fighter starting at sixth level
-at first level the avenger gains the sense enemy ability. this ability enables the avenger to supernatural determine the general direction of his target of vengence and creatures that are reminiscent of his target of vengence. The range of this ability is as follows:
| Level | Target of Vengence | Similar Creatures |
| 1 | 1 mile | 1 mile |
| 2 | 2 miles | 1 mile |
| 3 | 3 miles | 1.5 miles |
| 4 | 4 miles | 2 miles |
| 5 | 5 miles | 2.5 miles |
| 6 | 6 miles | 3 miles |
| 7 | 7 miles | 3.5 miles |
| 8 | 8 miles | 4 miles |
| 9 | 9 miles | 4.5 miles |
| 10 | 10 mile | 5 miles |
| 11 | 20 miles | 10 miles |
| 12 | 40 miles | 20 miles |
| 13 | 60 miles | 30 miles |
| 14 | 80 miles | 40 miles |
| 15 | 100 miles | 50 miles |
| 16 | 200 miles | 100 miles |
| 17 | 300 miles | 150 miles |
| 18 | 400 miles | 200 miles |

Indignation Feat [general]
prequisite-a target of vengence must be chosen when taking this feat
benefit- Against selected target of vengence, character gains an extra hit die worth of hit points at the start of battle.
Against foes that are reminiscent of target of vengence, character gains a half a hit die worth of hp at beginning of battle (hit points are temporary and function as the aid spell would)
special- avengers get the max amount of hp possible when this feat goes into effect
All saves and attack bonuses are the same as though for a fighter of equal level to the avenger
In summary:
Level 1: abilites gained-enemy sense, indignation(has to be purchased using feat given to all classes)
Levels 3,6,9.12,15,18: bonus feats
Level 6: specialization can be taken
Enemy Sense increases in effectiveness with level
