Class Features

All of the following are class features of the Bender of Earth.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Benders of Earth are proficient with all simple and with light and
medium armor.

The Bender of Earth can cause rocks or earth that he touchs to crumble or
Basic Bends (Su):
condense as a free action. He can cause up to 5 cubic feet/Bending level of rocks or earth to
levitate/rise at a speed of 5 ft/Bending level , or to sink/rearrange rock or earth at a speed of
5 ft/two Bending levels as a move action.

The Bender of Earth gains a variety of abilities. All Bending abilities require
Bending (Su):
somatic components (broad arm and leg movements), unless stated otherwise. The Bender
of Earth's Bending level is equal to her Bender of Earth level. Bending level stacks from
multiple sources. If an area of effect is specified, the effective Bending level for
determining that area may be reduced as desired.

The DC for any saving throw for the Bender of Earth's abilities are equal to 10 +
Saving Throws:
the Bender of Earth's Dexterity modifier + half the Bender of Earth's class level.

Minor Bends:

Rock Throw: The Bender of Earth can hurl stones she has levitated at foes with punching or
Rock Throw: The Bender of Earth can hurl stones she has levitated at foes with punching or
kicking motions. Treat this as a ranged attack with a 30 ft. range increment which deals
1d6/5 cubic ft of stone being levitated plus the Bender of Earth's Dexterity modifier points
of bludgeoning damage. This is a standard action.

Rock Bullets: The Bender of Earth can break 5 cubic ft of levitated rock into 3 Rock Bullets
and propel them at foes with great speed. Treat this technique as 3 seperate ranged attacks
with 20 ft. range increments, which each deal 1d6 plus the Bender of Earth's Dexterity
modifier points of bludgeoning damage. The Bender of Earth gains additional sets of Rock
Bullet attacks every fourth level (5th, 9th, and 13th) with a maximum of 4 sets of Rock
Bullets at 13th level. Attacking with one set of Rock Bullets is a standard action, attacking
with multiple sets of Rock Bullets requires a full round action.

Stone Wall: The Bender of Earth can raise earth or rock within a distance of 5 ft/Bending
level into a 5 ft (+5 ft/two Bending levels) x 5 ft (+5ft/two Bending levels) wall of rock that is
1 ft thick. Note that stone has hardness 8, and 15 HP/inch of thickness. Using this technique
is a standard action

Seismic Sense (passive): The Bender of Earth gains 30 ft Tremorsense when standing on
solid earth or rock, which increases by 10 ft every other level (3rd, 5th, 7th, etc.).

Rock Shield (passive): The Bender of Earth can use a levitated slab of rock to double as a
shield when positioned in front of a bender. The Bender of Earth gains a +2 shield bonus to
her AC while levitating at least one rock within 5 ft of herself.

Stone Armor: The Bender of Earth can shape stone into Full Plate, and Gauntlets. The
Bender of Earth gains a +8 armor bonus to AC from Stone Armor, without suffering the
usual Maximum Dexterity Bonus penalty because of the Bender of Earth's ability to bend
the earth around himself, so it does not impede his movement. Unarmed attacks are
considered armed attacks while using Stone Armor. Stone Armor also provides Damage
Resistance 15 against fire attacks. Assembling Stone Armor is a standard action,
maintaining this equipment is a move action.

Stone Hands: The Bender of Earth can levitate a small chunk of rock into the air, and then
propel it through the air to strike or grab opponents. Treat this as a ranged attack with
Close range that deals 2d4 plus the Bender of Earth's Dexterity modifier points of
bludgeoning damage. Or, Stone Hands may be used as a ranged touch attack to grapple a
target within Close range. If the Stone Hands succeed on the ranged touch attack, an
opposed grapple check determines whether the target becomes grappled. The Bender of
Earth uses her Constitution modifier + BAB to determine her grapple check. If the Bender
of Earth wins the opposed Grapple check, the target is grappled by stone manacles with a
burst/escape artist DC equal to 10 + the Bender of Earth's Dexterity modifier + half the
Bender of Earth's class levels. Using this technique is a standard action.

Rock Climb (passive): The Bender of Earth can magnetize his limbs to stone, allowing him
to climb sheer walls and cliffs. The Bender of Earth can climb and remain off of the ground
for long periods of time without requiring a climb skill check.

Monolith Attack: The Bender of Earth can stamp the ground and shoot a column of rock out
Monolith Attack: The Bender of Earth can stamp the ground and shoot a column of rock out
of the ground at his opponent. A target within Close range who is standing on earth or rock
must make a Reflex Save or be catapulted 5 ft/Bending level into the air. The Bender of
Earth can choose any place within 5 ft/Bending level of the target's original location for the
target to land. OR, treat this as a ranged attack against a target within Close range who is
standing within 5 ft (+5 ft/two Bending levels) of earth or rock, which deals 1d8/5 cubic ft of
stone plus the Bender of Earth's Dexterity modifier of bludgeoning damage. Monolith
Attack is a standard action.

Boulder Run: The Bender of Earth uses the earth beneath her feet to push herself forward.
While using Boulder Run, the Bender of Earth gets a 10 ft bonus/Bending level to land
movement speed, but cannot do any other bending. This is a full round action.

Quicksand: The Bender of Earth can make one 5 ft square/Bending level within Medium
range into difficult terrain as a standard action.

Rock Encasement: The Bender of Earth stamps the ground, and a target within Close range
must succeed on a Reflex Save or become encased in conical sheets of rock. While encased,
the target cannot move his limbs. The target may make a Strength check (DC equal to 10 +
the Bender of Earth's Dexterity modifier + half the Bender of Earth's Bending level) as a
full-round action to attempt to get free. An escape artist skill check may be made to escape
at the same DC.

Fissure: The Bender of Earth creates a fissure that is 5 ft/four Bending levels wide, 5
ft/Bending levels deep, and 10 ft/Bending level long originating from a point within Close
range. Characters of Medium size or smaller within a square occupied by the fissure must
make a Reflex Save or fall in. Characters within a square adjacent to the Fissure must make
a Balance check or fall prone (DC 10 + half the Bender of Earth's Bending level + Dexterity
modifier).

Major Bending:

Sinking Encasement: The Bender of Earth must already know "Rock Encasement" before
learning this technique. The Bender of Earth can forcibly sink opponents into the ground,
imprisoning them in earth. A target of Medium size or smaller within Close range must
succeed on a Reflex save or become trapped up to their waist in the ground they had been
standing on. The target takes 1d6/two Bending levels points of damage as their sunken
extremities are crushed into the earth. The Bender of Earth gains the ability to encase
Large targets at 8th level, and Huge targets at 15th level. This is a full round action which
deals 1d8 points of nonlethal damage to the Bender of Earth.

Bend Metal (passive): The Bender of Earth can bend metals as though they are dirt or rock,
albeit, at half her normal bending level.

Remote Earthbending: The Bender of Earth can focus his energies and bend earth that is
out of his physical reach out of sheer concentration. The Bender of Earth becomes capable
of bending earth or rocks within Close range even without maintaining physical contact
with the ground.

Earthquake: The Bender of Earth must already know "Fissure" before learning this
Earthquake: The Bender of Earth must already know "Fissure" before learning this
technique. The Bender of Earth can create localized earthquakes by striking the ground
with her feet, fists, or hammers. This same process can be used to sculpt a landmass or to
slice large chunks of rock clean off a surface to create avalanches or rockfalls. This
technique functions as the spell earthquake, with the exception that it affects a 20 ft (+10
ft/two Bending levels) radius within Medium range. Creating and maintaining Earthquake
is a full round action that deals 2d6 points of nonlethal damage to the Bender of Earth.

Quick as Dirt (passive): The Bender of Earth gains a Burrow speed equal to her land speed.
In addition, her Burrow speed increases by 10 ft/two Bending levels. She can choose
whether or not to leave a tunnel behind.
