Nanoghost

Nanoghost
The nanoghost is someone who has gone beyond the bounds of humanity to master techs. Often replacing their body with nano-bot formations to give their tech's even more power.

Role: The nanoghost is a tech-casting class and as such, has limited physical defenses and offenses without the aid of nano techs. The nanoghost is the only class who has access to classified techs, whose use tends to be frowned upon in society due to the types of effects they have. So take caution using these techs in civilized areas.

Class Features
Classified Programming: At 1st level, the nanoghost must select a classified programming path. This selection cannot be changed and grants them powerful abilities, and thus is the key feature of this class. Each classified programming path has a number of powers and techs that define the nanoghost.

A classified programming power becomes available to them at 3rd, 6th, and 9th level, and then at 10th level they gain the epitome ability of the path.

Additionally, at each nanoghost level they may learn a single tech of their choice so long as it is the highest tier tech they can use or lower.

Clever Hand: At 1st level the nanoghost gains a +4 bonus to disable device and computer use checks when dealing with software of any kind. Additionally, their Disable Device ability modifier becomes based on their Intelligence rather than their Dexterity.

Nano Resistance: At 2nd level, the nanoghost gains Nano Resistance equal to 6 + their Hit Dice.

Tech Mastery: At 2nd level, the nanoghost uses at techs with a +4 bonus to their caster level, and may substitute any key ability for any tech with Intelligence.

Expanded Database: At 4th level, the nanoghost can execute and additional amount of techs per day equal to 1/2 of their current per-day use. For example a nanoghost who can cast 6 tier 5 techs per day can now cast 9 tier 5 techs per day.

Counter Tech: Starting at 5th level the nanoghost can counter techs in a similar manner to countering spells. By preparing an appropriate tech as a readied action.

At 8th level, they may counter techs as an immediate action, however the tech they use to counter another tech consumes two slots per day rather than 1.

Nano Mana: Starting at 7th level, the nanoghost may select spell level +2 spell-slots from their base spellcasting class to execute techs.

For example a wizard may spend a level 4 spell slot to activate a tier 2 tech rather than their tech-use per day slots for that tier.

Classified Programming Animus: Animus techs are illegal and classified due to the fact that they have potential to cause serious problems using cyberspace to affect the nerves and souls of people connected to it as well as the potential risk to established security systems.

Carus: Carus techs are illegal and classified due to the fact that they manipulate precious metals and are often used to tranmogrify objects into valuables and could be potentially hazardous to the Order of Bartermen, and their monopolies on trade.

Cognito: Cognito techs are illegal and classified because they have the potential to cause great havoc on the political states of the still-civil kingdoms, as they have potential to impersonate important figures and so forth.

Fractus: Fractus techs are frowned upon because they are very taxing on the body of recipients, but can potentially double, triple or quadruple their efficacy.

Sonus: Sonus techs are illegal because they can manipulate radio transmissions and potentially wreck massive networks of radio-controlled constructs and cybersystems.
