Foxes are opportunistic eaters with a diet that consists of mice and voles, rabbits, birds, eggs, amphibians and small reptiles, fish, mollusks,
earthworms, carrion, and plants. Foxes are also known to scour garbage and refuse in settled areas. The statistics above describe the common red
fox, but can be used for other foxes such as the grey fox or arctic fox. Arctic foxes gain an additional +4 racial bonus on Stealth checks in snowy
surroundings.The fox is a very territorial creature and spends about one-third of its day hunting for food (most hunting is performed at night). Foxes
are excellent hunters and have even been known to bring down prey much larger than themselves. When prey is encountered, the fox leaps at it and
dispatches it with a series of quick bites.Copyright Notice Author Scott Greene.

Description:

An arcanist has an innate pool of m agical energy that she

can draw upon to fuel her arcanist exploits and enhance
her spells. The arcanists arcane reservoir can hold a
m axim um am ount of m agical energy equal to 3 + the
arcanists level. Each day, when preparing spells, the
arcanists arcane reservoir fills with raw m agical energy,
gaining a num ber of points equal to 3 + 1/2 her arcanist
level. Any points she had from the previous day are lost.
She can also regain these points through the consum e
spells class feature and som e arcanist exploits. The arcane
reservoir can never hold m ore points than the m axim um
am ount noted above; points gained in excess of this total
are lost.

By bending and som etim es even breaking the rules of

m agic, the arcanist learns to exploit gaps and exceptions
in the laws of m agic. Som e of these exploits allow her to
break down various form s of m agic, adding their essence
to her arcane reservoir. At 1st level and every 2 levels
thereafter, the arcanist learns a new arcane exploit
selected from the following list. An arcanist exploit cannot
be selected m ore than once. O nce an arcanist exploit has
been selected, it cannot be changed. Most arcanist
exploits require the arcanist to expend points from her
arcane reservoir to function. Unless otherwise noted, the
saving throw DC for an arcanist exploit is equal to 10 + 1/2
the arcanists level + the arcanists C harism a m odifier.

Points from the arcanist reservoir are used to fuel m any of

the arcanists powers. In addition, the arcanist can expend
1 point from her arcane reservoir as a free action
whenever she casts an arcanist spell. If she does, she can
choose to increase the caster level by 1 or increase the
spells DC by 1. She can expend no m ore than 1 point from
her reservoir on a given spell in this way.

Description: An arcanist with this exploit can acquire a
fam iliar as the arcane bond wizard class feature, using her
arcanist level as her wizard level to determ ine any of the
statistics and abilities of the fam iliar. If the arcanist receives
a fam iliar from another class, her levels of arcanist stack
with the levels from that class when determ ining the
fam iliar's statistics and abilities (this ability does not stack
with a fam iliar gained through the bloodline developm ent
exploit; she m ust choose one or the other).

At 1st level, an arcanist can expend an available arcanist

spell slot as a m ove action, m aking it unavailable for the

Doing this adds a num ber of points to her arcane reservoir
equal to the level of the spell slot consum ed. She cannot

General
Through researching lengthy, ancient, arcane
scripts, you have discovered a m ore efficient m ethod of
recording spells. As with the C ypher Magic feat, C ypher
Script was originally developed by the C ypherm ages of
Riddleport, but has been spreading through the Inner Sea
region recently.
Benefit: Any spell you scribe in your spellbook costs half as
m uch as norm al and takes up only half the room it
norm ally would (round all fractions up). It only takes you 10
m inutes per spell level to scribe a spell into your spellbook
(5 m inutes for cantrips).

Description : This charm makes a humanoid
creature regard you as its trusted friend and
ally (treat the target's attitude as friendly). If
the creature is currently being threatened or
attacked by you or your allies, however, it
receives a +5 bonus on its saving throw.The
spell does not enable you to control the
charmed person as if it were an automaton,
but it perceives your words and actions in the
most favorable way. You can try to give the
subject orders, but you must win an opposed
Charisma check to convince it to do anything
it wouldn't ordinarily do. (Retries are not
allowed.) An affected creature never obeys
suicidal or obviously harmful orders, but it
might be convinced that something very
dangerous is worth doing. Any act by you or
your apparent allies that threatens the
charmed person breaks the spell. You must
speak the person's language to communicate
your commands, or else be good at
pantomiming.

full-round action, and lighting any other fire
with one is at least a standard action. A
tindertwig burns for 1d2 rounds and sheds
light as a candle. Tindertwigs are waterproof,
