Also known as splitters, replicants or mirror savants, Replicators are the unrivaled masters of strength in numbers, being able to create multiple copies of themselves to carry out tasks or give them the edge in combat. Their ability to assign skills to their creations further lends to their diversity, while not as focused as a singular creature, they make up well for the lack of focus with a broad range of skills. 

            Adventures: The skill set of a Replicator makes them a welcome addition to most adventuring groups. Their ability to be in multiple places at once allows them unparalleled combat and strategic advantages. Likewise, the Replicator shares their feats and skills with their Replicas, making teamwork feats and versatile skills extra useful and devastating.

            Alignment: Replicators can be of any alignment and have no class restrictions to abilities based on alignment.

            Religion: Replicators can be of any religion, however most seem drawn to the fallen god Ologos, God of Reflections, who is rumored to have taught the first Replicators how to use and master the art of Replicating.

 Class Features

The following is a list of class features for the Replicator class. 

Starting Wealth: 5D6x 10 (175) 

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Replicators and Replicas are proficient with all simple weapons, with light and medium armor, and with shields (except tower shields).  

Replicate (Su): Beginning at 1st level the Replicator can make physical copies of themself known as Replicas. The Replicator may have an additional Replica at 5th, 10th 15th and 20th level to a maximum of 5 copies at 20th level. 

To replenish or create new Replicas up to the Replicators maximum allowed by class level, the Replicator must have 8 hours of rest, after which the process of creating new Replicas takes 1 hour regardless of the number of Replicas created. These copies visually resemble the Replicator perfectly, but are otherwise augmented statistically as noted below. The actual process of how a Replicator creates its Replicas is similar to how a cell divides, the Replicator appears to physically split into multiple creatures. 

Replicas begin play with no equipment, but can otherwise be outfitted as normal. If a Replicator is killed all of their Replicas fall to the ground, becoming inert shells of flesh. A replicator unconscious, immobile or otherwise restrained still controls their Replica’s actions. 

All Replicas use the Replicator’s base attack, skill ranks and base saving throws. As a Replicator advances in level they gain the ability to infuse their creations with feats that they know. A Replica has the same base physical statistics as the Replicator (Str, Dex, Con) but has mental scores as listed below. Upon creation, a Replica has exactly ½ of the Replicator’s hit points (rounded down). All Replicas speak 1 language that the Replicator speaks, chosen during creation. Replicas have the same alignment as the Replicator that created them, although they are completely under the control of the Replicator. Replicas do not roll initiative in combat, they act in any order the Replicator chooses during their turn in the initiative order. A Replica is considered the creature type of the Replicator that created it. Replicas do not need to sleep, eat or drink. They do breathe however and are not immune to magical sleep effects. In addition, upon creation, the Replicator may select a single Replica Skill to apply to his Replica if available, see Replica Skill below. When a Replica reaches 0 hit points or below, it immediately turns to a flaky substance similar to dead skin, dropping all equipment in its current space.

Mind Sling (Su): At 17th level the Replicator has honed their ability to access the minds of their creations. When a Replicator fails a will save against an enchantment spell they may immediately treat the saving throw as a success by forcing a Replica within 30 feet to accept the result of a failed saving throw. A Replica cannot accept a Mind Sling if currently suffering the effects of a failed will saving throw.

The Replicator’s new hit point total is that of the selected Replica.

In addition, a Replica Champion gains a flight speed (with perfect maneuverability) of 60 feet and provides its creator with several benefits when standing adjacent to them, including; a shield bonus to armor class equal to the value of the Replica’s equipped shield (if any) as the Replica actively blocks for its master, and a +2 bonus to hit with melee attacks as the Replica actively acts as though aiding its master in combat.
