Combat Characteristics

Because of their devotion to magical study, wonderworkers receive limited combat training. They are quite vulnerable to physical danger, and in an adventuring group they should be protected.

Combat Proficiencies: Wonderworkers have weapon proficiency with clubs, daggers, darts, and staffs. They have no armor proficiency. They have fighting style proficiency with the two-handed weapon style (allowing them to use a staff with both hands), but not with the dual weapon or weapon and shield styles.

Combat Progression: Wonderworkers advance in attack throws and saving throws by only two points every six levels. They cannot cleave, regardless of their level.

Starting Class Powers

Arcane Magic: Wonderworkers learn and cast arcane spells as mages. The number and levels of spells the wonderworker can use in a single day is summarized on the Exalted Wonderworker Arcane Spell Progression table. Like a mage, the wonderworker’s spell selection is limited to the spells in his repertoire. A wonderworker’s repertoire can include a number of spells up to the number and level of spells listed for his level, increased by his INT bonus.

Collegiate Wizardry: The wonderworker has received arcane instruction as an apprentice to a mage, pupil at a magical academy, or member of an arcane organization. He can begin play as a member of a wizard’s guild or similar order (Judge’s discretion). He can automatically identify arcane symbols, spell signatures, trappings, and grimoires of his own order or tradition, and can recognize those of other orders or traditions with a proficiency throw of 11+. Rare or esoteric traditions might be harder to recognize. (This class power is the equivalent of one rank of Collegiate Wizardry proficiency.)

Divine Health: Wonderworkers have sanctified bodies that render them immune to all forms of disease, including magical diseases caused by spells, mummies, or lycanthropes.

Divine Magic: Wonderworkers can manifest their Numilvara’s power in the form of divine spells, which are granted through prayer and worship. The power and number of divine spells available to the character are determined by level according to the Exalted Wonderworker Divine Spell Progression table. Wonderworkers have a repertoire of spells defined in the Magic and Spells section.

Lay on Hands: So abundant is the wonderworker’s life force that he can lay on hands to heal injuries. If he lays hands on a wounded creature, he can restore 2 hit points per experience level. If he lays hands on an incapacitated creature, he can grant a bonus to their Mortal Wounds throw of one-half his class level (round up). If he lays hands on a paralyzed creature, he can cure the paralysis. He can use his power to lay on hands once per day. The wonderworker can select the Laying on Hands proficiency to gain additional uses of the power per day. (This class power is the equivalent of one rank of the Laying on Hands proficiency.)

Additional Class Powers

Minor Magical Research (5^th): The wonderworker can scribe magical scrolls, brew potions, and research arcane spells.

Major Magical Research (9^th): The wonderworker can create more powerful magic items such as weapons, rings, and staffs.

Sanctum (9^th): By acquiring a sanctum (often a great tower) worth at least 15,000gp, the wonderworker can attract followers to his service. 1d6 apprentice wonderworkers of 1^st – 3^rd level plus 2d6 apprentices of 0^th level arrive to serve him as followers within 1d3 months of him acquiring the sanctum. If the wonderworker already has a sanctum, the followers arrive to serve him within 1d3 months of him reaching 9^th level. The apprentices function as assistants in magical research (see Campaigns). If performing magic research, the apprentices must be provided food and lodging but need not be paid wages. (If asked to accompany the wonderworker on an adventure, the apprentices must be paid wages as henchmen.) If the wonderworker builds a dungeon beneath or near his sanctum, monsters will start to arrive to dwell within, often followed by adventurers seeking to fight them. Additional rules for wonderworker’ sanctums are detailed in Campaigns.

Supreme Magical Research (11^th): The wonderworker can learn and cast ritual arcane spells of great power (7^th, 8^th, and 9^th level), craft magical constructs, and create magical crossbreeds. If chaotic, the wonderworker can create necromantic servants and become undead. Rules for magic research can be found in Campaigns.

Racial Traits

Prince of Sair: Exalted Sairans are recognized as rightful authority figures across Sair. The character may hire one more henchman than is normally allowed by CHA, and the base loyalty score for all his henchmen is increased by 1.

Divine Grace: Exalted Sairans are blessed by Numilvara with a divine grace, reducing the target number for their saving throws by 2. This benefit is already factored into the saving throw table above.

Unconventional Talent: Sairan culture is rooted in its love of the provocative, the avant-garde, and the unconventional. The character can learn a class proficiency from any class; a thief skill (excluding backstab); a venturer class power (excluding mercantile network); or other class power approved by the Judge, excluding spellcasting powers. The character cannot select a class power that is not available to 1^st level characters. For instance, he could not select Rumormongering, because it doesn’t become available to venturers until 4^th level. Note that some selections might not be useful, e.g. a non-spellcasting Exalted shouldn’t ever choose Contemplation.

Code Of Behavior

In order to use divine magic, maintain his divine blessing, and lay on hands, a wonderworker must uphold the sacred laws of good and order. Wonderworkers must obey the strictures below, or other strictures determined by the Judge for his campaign.

The wonderworker must always display his holy symbol somewhere on his person when in public.
The wonderworker must offer prayers to Numilvara at dawn and dusk. Offering prayers requires one hour (6 turns)
The wonderworker must use his gifts to preserve the citizenry of Sair, and never to their detriment.
The wonderworker should treat their Exalted bloodline as a gift to be shared with as many members of future generations as practically possible; be fruitful and multiply.

If a wonderworker ever violates the strictures of his faith, Numilvara might impose penalties upon him. These penalties are entirely up to the Judge. The usual penalty is disfavor (see Conditions), but might include a reduction in spells available or even a loss of all wonderworker powers altogether. To remove the penalties, the wonderworker will have to atone for his violation by, e.g., sacrificing treasure, undertaking quests, or even receiving an atonement spell from a powerful caster of her order (Judge’s discretion).

Class Proficiencies

Proficiency Progression: At 1^st level, wonderworkers gain one class proficiency from their class proficiency list and one general proficiency from the general proficiency list (as indicated by the template rolled). They select an additional class proficiency at 6^th and 11^th level. They select an additional general proficiency at 5^th and 9^th level.

Notes: Most characters of this class have above average Intellect, and the templates above reflect that. Each template assumes that the character has an INT attribute of between 13 and 15, qualifying him for one bonus proficiency and one bonus spell. The bonus proficiency and bonus spell that each template begins with are noted last. For characters with INT of less than 13, delete the third proficiency and the second spell. For characters with INT higher than 15, select the appropriate number of additional general proficiencies and ask your Judge to determine what additional spells your character knows.

The wonderworker’s unconventional talent selection is in bold.

The Servant of Fire can choose to replace the fire spells with one of three alternative spell selections available, one for each element:

Air: thunderclap, weave smoke

Earth: earth’s excrescence, sling stone

Water: desiccate, slickness

For the Corrupted Soul, the code of behavior is reversed to favor Chaos over Law

Spells

The wonderworker is both a studious arcane caster (choose from the whole Arcane Spell List, as a mage) and a prayerful divine caster (fixed repertoire below). See Magic and Spellcasting for how repertoires work.
