Apprentice levels

Richard H. Schurz
This
is also compatible with DnD 3.0 edition. I have included notes to eliminate
any discrepancies between the editions that would effect
the core apprentice classes.
When the players begin the game at level one, they are already playing elite adventurers. A level 1 fighter is capable of taking on two or even three average people (commoners) at once and handily winning. With this article you can create and play characters who are not yet elite, to start from the very beginning of their adventures. In other words an apprentice class is the levels ‘between’ a level 1 commoner, and level 1 in a PC class.
I recommend forgoing the exp system while in apprentice levels and instead giving the players one level for every four encounters. If you want to use the exp system then they gain exp at the same rate as a lv 1 character and it takes 100 exp to reach apprentice level C, 200 to reach apprentice level B, 300 to reach level A, and 400 to reach level 1.
For apprentice levels D and C, I recommend monsters with a CR from 1/8 to 1/3 CR, for apprentice level B monsters from ¼ to ½ CR, and for apprentice level A monsters 1/3 to 1 CR. In general you should avoid arming the player’s opponents with weapons that score x3 crits or that score a critical threat on rolls other then 20.
Apprentices lv. D are proficient with one simple weapon that their chosen class is proficient with, and no armor or shields, has 4 HP, no class features, a base attack of +0, and all base saves of +0. You have 2d4 copper as their starting money, if the class you wish to advance into has a code of conduct you must adhere to it.
Apprentice classes and skill ranks: At level D you have 1/4th the number of skill ranks a first level character in your chosen class would have, you may have a maximum of 1 rank in any skill, and you use your chosen class’ skill list. At level C this rises to ½ the skill ranks a first level character would have, with a maximum of 2 ranks per skill. At B it would become 3/4th with a maximum of 3 ranks per skill. Finally at level A you would have the skill ranks of a 1st level character with a maximum of 4 ranks per skill. Example: Joe the Apprentice Fighter has an intelligence of 13, at level 1 he will have 12 skill points, so at level D he has 3 skill points. At level C he will have 6 skill points. At level B he will have 9 skill points. Finally at level A he will have all 12 skill points.
Once you have chosen a class you may not gain a level in a different class or apprentice class until you have attained level 1. In other words, you can’t stop taking levels in an apprentice class until you have finished it.
As you attain further apprentice levels you gain proficiencies. lv C you are proficient with any simple weapons your chosen class is and light armor if your chosen class lists that as a proficiency. At lv B you are proficient with any martial weapons and shields (except tower shields) your class would be proficient with. At lv A you are proficient with medium armor if your chosen class is. lv 1 you gain any exotic weapons proficiencies your chosen class has as well as heavy armor and tower shield proficiency if your chosen class has those proficiencies. You may simply refer to the following chart.
lv. D: A single simple weapon
lv. C: All simple
weapons, light armor
lv. B: All martial
weapons and shields (except for tower shields)
lv. A: Medium armor
lv. 1: exotic weapons, heavy armor, and tower shields.

New Feats:
Risky Spell
(metamagic feat)
Prereq: -
Benefit: Choose a spell on your class’ spell list one level higher then the highest level spell you can caste (specialized wizards may not choose a spell in a school of magic they’ve forsaken). Once per day you can attempt to caste that spell in place of one of your highest-level spells or spell-slots. When you do so roll a d20, on a roll of 6-20 you caste the spell normally, on a roll of 2-5 you caste the spell successfully for take 1d6 damage per spell level of the spell. On a roll of 1 you take 1d6 damage per spell level of the spell and fail to caste the spell. Once you gain access to the highest level of spells your class offers you may trade this feat for any other feat you meet the prerequisites for.
Desperate Strike
(General feat)
Prereq: -
Benefit: 1/day you may declare an attack to be a ‘Desperate strike’, this attack has +4 to it’s attack roll, and deals double the weapon’s base damage (for example a longsword would deal 2d8 instead of 1d8). After you make the attack, whether you hit or not, you become fatigued at the end of the turn. If you are already fatigued you become exhausted, if you are already exhausted you cannot perform a Desperate Strike. If you are undead, a construct, or for any other reason unable to become fatigued, you cannot perform a desperate strike.
Diehard: (general
feat)
Prereq: endurance, level 1 or higher.
Benefit: Same as player’s handbook pg. 93
Toughness: (general
feat)
Prereq: -
Benefit: gain 1 additional hit point at apprentice level C, gain another additional hit point at apprentice level B, and a third additional hit point at apprentice level A.
Behind the Curtain: Why I have altered some feats that appeared in the 3.5 player’s handbook. Diehard is overpowered for an apprentice character, so I placed an added prerequisite that the player must be at least level 1, players who wish to have this feat should be allowed to trade a feat for it upon achieving level 1. For toughness I simply made the hp gain progress with your apprentice level because 3 added hit points at levels D and C is significantly stronger then the benefit other feats provide. The end result is still 3 hit points when you’ve reached level 1.

Vrocks sometimes perform a ritual that allows them to travel to the material plane. For days, or even weeks they slowly reform inside a cocoon while a small pocket of the abyss temporarily overlaps with the material plane. If the cocoon is broken the vrock is destroyed. Animals and vermin that get to close to the area may gain the fiendish template and guard the cocoon. While in the cocoon it cannot take any actions other then release spores and communicate telepathically.
Combat:
A vrock cocoon cannot move, it’s only means of defending itself is it’s spores special attack. Otherwise it relies on it’s minions to defend it until it can ‘hatch’.
Spores (Ex): A Vrock cocoon can release a mass of spores from it’s body once per hour as a free action. The spores automatically deal 1d4 damage to all creatures adjacent to the vrock cocoon. They then penetrate the skin and grow, dealing an additional 1 point of damage each round for 10 rounds. At the end of this time, the victim is covered with a tangle of viney growths. (the vines are harmless and wither away within 1d4 days) A delay poison spell stops the spores’ growth for it’s duration. Bless, neutralize poison, or remove disease kills the spores, as does sprinkling the victim with a vial of holy water.

They are generally in mines and other places whit veins of metal. They may also be occasionally found in areas with large amounts of junk or debris containing metals (such as ruined cities, junkyards, ect.) Sometimes sentient creatures capture and keep them for use in traps.
Combat:
Rust mites are only interested in eating metal, they do not otherwise attack and cannot harm creatures. Constructs are considered to be made of magical metal and therefore rust mites avoid them.
Rust Away: The target must make a reflex save (DC 12) or have a metal item rust away and become worthless. First the rust mites target anything metal in their victim’s hands. Then they go after any armor their victim is wearing. After that they begin attacking items in their victim’s inventory. They do not eat any item that’s enchanted, nor do they eat non-ferrous metals such as gold, silver, copper, platinum, minthril, or adamant.
