Disciple
Level1

Devastation Ark: The Starstone Blockade pg. 52

Not all those who study magic do so in order to cast spells—some wish only to defend themselves against them. Operatives with the disciple specialization spend as much time training their minds as they do their bodies, meditating to steel themselves against harmful magical effects. Their familiarity with magical traditions and techniques makes them especially adept at fighting spellcasters. Magical organizations, especially those with precious artifacts in need of protection, often seek out non-spellcasters with mental fortitude to train as disciples, tasking them with guarding their treasures upon the completion of their training.

Specialization Exploit (Experiential Learning)Ex

Level 5

After failing a saving throw against a magical effect with a duration longer than 1 round, you can attempt a second saving throw the following round to shake off the effect. If you succeed on this second saving throw, you gain a +2 insight bonus to saves against magical effects produced by the creature whose effect you just saved against; this bonus lasts for 24 hours.

Specialization Skill Mastery

Level 7

You become so confident in certain skills that you can use them reliably even under adverse conditions. When attempting a skill check with a skill in which you have the Skill Focus feat, you can take 10 even if stress or distractions would normally prevent you from doing so.

Specialization Power (Spell Resistance)Ex

Level 11

At 11th level, you learn methods to defend yourself against a specific individual’s magic. You can select a target you have observed for at least 1 round of combat or 5 minutes outside of combat. You gain spell resistance equal to 11 + your character level against that target for 1 minute. Once you’ve used this ability, you can’t use it again that day, but you can spend 1 Resolve Point to recharge it immediately as a free action.
