Kalistocrat

Your daily meditation keeps your body and mind in sync, but certain devotions allow you to focus on different areas of your body. Each day, choose one of the following feats for which you meet the prerequisites as a bonus feat: Great Fortitude, Iron Will, or Lightning Reflexes. This choice is made after a 10-minute meditation following an 8-hour rest and can only be changed once every 24 hours.

Your study and broad knowledge of cultural touchstones helps inform your interactions with creatures of all backgrounds. Culture is a class skill for you, but if you gain or have Culture as a class skill from another source, you instead gain a +1 bonus to checks with the skill. You can use Culture in place of Diplomacy to change a creature’s attitude towards you. Once per day, after failing a check to change a creature’s attitude by 5 or more, you can spend a Resolve Point to not worsen their attitude.

The connections you’ve made on your travels allow you to reach out and get some information from somebody knowledgeable on many topics. Diplomacy is a class skill for you, but if you gain or have Diplomacy as a class skill from another source, you instead gain a +1 bonus to checks with the skill. You can use Diplomacy in place of Mysticism to identify a creature or magic item that you can describe or otherwise provide information about, taking the same amount of time as gathering information. Also, once a week, you can bargain with a merchant whose attitude you previously changed to helpful to purchase a single magic or hybrid item at a 10% discount; this discount doesn’t stack with any other discounts you might have.

Meditating on Kalistrade’s writings and prophecies have given you another way to look at and solve indecipherable writings. Mysticism is a class skill for you, but if you have or gain Mysticism as a class skill from another source, you instead gain a +1 bonus to checks with the skill. You can use Mysticism to meditate on the meaning of archaic, encoded, or incomplete messages instead of attempting a Culture check. You can also use Mysticism instead of Bluff to pass a secret message to another Kalistocrat by concealing it in phrases and passages from Kalistrade’s Ontologies of Self.

You excel at meeting people and making friends from all walks of life. Culture, Diplomacy, and Mysticism are class skills for you, if they aren’t already. When doing business with somebody for the first time and attempting a check with one of these skills, you can spend a Resolve Point to roll the check twice and use the better result. Additionally, reduce the DC of checks to recall knowledge or gather information about new people and contacts by 5.

Your meditations have allowed you to exert power over your body that you might not be able to do otherwise. Each day, choose one of the following feats as a bonus feat, even if you don’t meet the prerequisites: Improved Great Fortitude, Improved Iron Will, Improved Lightning Reflexes. If your chosen feat’s prerequisites are met by the feat chosen for Body and Mind, you don’t have to spend a Resolve Point the first time you reroll a failed save each day.

Following the path of a prophet pays off when it comes to your health and fitness. As long as you have at least 1 Resolve Point, you gain a +1 circumstance bonus to saves against poisons and diseases. When recovering from ability damage, you can undertake a night of meditation in place of a normal full night’s rest to improve your health as if you took a day of bed rest (though you don’t also gain the benefits of a normal full night’s rest).

Also, the ways in which you define yourself as a Kalistocrat can provide the following options for modifying long-term care you receive. If Culture is a class skill for you, you can attempt a DC 20 Culture check (representing knowledge of special foods or custom remedies outside the mainstream medical texts) to provide assistance; if successful, the person attempting the Medicine check for your long-term care gains a +4 circumstance bonus. If Diplomacy is a class skill for you, you can reach out to a nearby doctor you know or that has heard of you to grant a reroll to the person attempting the Medicine check for your long-term care; you must be within a settlement or be able to contact a doctor within hours to apply this bonus. If Mysticism is a class skill for you, you can provide long-term care to yourself by entering a day-long meditative state that doesn’t require a medical lab or medical bay; attempt a DC 30 Mysticism check with a –4 penalty to gain the benefits of long-term care. You may only choose one of these options at a time for your long-term care.
