====== Tempest ====== {{:en:class-changes:tempest.jpg?nolink |}} The Tempest is the point of calm within a whirling barrier of deadly blades. Poets use colorful terms such as dancer to describe the movement of a Tempest and her two blades, but mastery of this fighting style is not about dancing. Nor is it about impressing anyone - least of all poets. The Tempest focuses on learning the ultimate secrets of two-weapon fighting for a single purpose - the destruction of her enemies. **Hit Die**: d10 **Proficiencies**: Tempests gain no weapon or armor proficiencies. **Primary Saving throw(s)**: fortitude. **Base Attack Bonus**: +1/level. ---- ===== Requirements: ===== **Base Attack Bonus**: +6 **Feats**: Improved Two-Weapon Fighting, Lightning Reflexes, Woodland Stride. **Special**: A book of Tempest is required to unlock this class. ===== Class Skills: ===== The eye of Gruumsh's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Discipline (Str), Heal (Wis), Listen (Wis), Parry (Dex), Spot (Wis) and Tumble (Dex). **Skill Points at Each Additional Level**: 2 + Int modifier. ^ Level ^ Base Attack Bonus ^ Fort Save ^ Ref Save ^ Will Save ^ Special ^ | 1st | +1 |+2 |+0 |+0 |Tempest Defense +1| | 2nd | +2 |+3 |+0 |+0 |Two-Weapon Versatility| | 3rd | +3 |+3 |+1 |+1 |Tempest Defense +2| | 4th | +4 |+4 |+1 |+1 |Absolute Ambidexterity| | 5th | +5 |+4 |+1 |+1 |Tempest Defense +3, Greater Two-Weapon Fighting| ===== Class Features: ===== All of the following are class features of the Tempest prestige class. **Tempest Defense**: Bonus AC when dual wielding.
