Rustin's March

Enchantment [Mind-Affecting]
Level: Bard 6, Cleric 6
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 full-round action
Range: Long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level)

You bind many voices into a common purpose.

Affected creatures gain a +2 morale bonus on attack rolls, saving throws and skill checks whenever they are within 30 feet of at least one other affected creature.

Whenever two or more affected creatures flank the same target, each gains an additional +2 bonus on attack rolls against that target.

As a move action, any affected creature may choose another affected creature within 60 feet. Until the beginning of its next turn, it may use the higher of its own or the chosen creature's Wisdom modifier on Will saves and Sense Motive checks.

Most importantly, affected creatures become extraordinarily difficult to divide. Any magical effect that would cause them to attack, distrust or abandon one another suffers a -4 penalty to its save DC. If the effect does not allow a save, affected creatures immediately gain a new saving throw to resist it.

When cast upon a group of twenty or more creatures, the spell's morale bonuses increase by +1.

This spell reflects the organizational genius required to bring many different people together in pursuit of a shared goal, transforming a collection of individuals into a movement.

Whenever an affected creature would become shaken, frightened or panicked, it may ignore the effect for 1 round. If the effect persists, it applies normally thereafter.

Additionally, once during the spell's duration, each affected creature may reroll a failed saving throw against a mind-affecting effect. The second result must be used.

Those empowered by this spell radiate unusual confidence. Allies who witness an affected creature succeeding despite adversity gain a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and saving throws for 1 round.

This spell embodies the principle that visibility itself can become an act of courage.

All allies within the area gain a +2 morale bonus on saving throws against fear, charm and compulsion effects. In addition, any ally who is currently suffering from a fear effect may immediately attempt a new saving throw with a +4 bonus.

Whenever an ally within the area falls below one-half their maximum hit points, they gain temporary hit points equal to your caster level (maximum 15). This benefit may occur only once per creature during the spell's duration.

Finally, creatures within the area may not be magically compelled to attack an ally unless they succeed on a caster level check (DC 11 + your caster level).

Material Component: A small silver key wrapped in a strip of brightly colored cloth.

This spell is named for the tireless efforts of those who fought to provide shelter and protection for society's most vulnerable members.

You have learned to endure hardship, prejudice, and adversity without surrendering your sense of self.

Prerequisites: Base Will save +4, character level 3rd.

Feat - STAR House Mentor

STAR House Mentor [General]

Some people possess a remarkable gift for helping vulnerable young people discover safety, confidence and belonging.

Prerequisites: Diplomacy 8 ranks, Sense Motive 8 ranks, Cha 13.

Benefit: Whenever you successfully use the aid another action to assist an ally, the ally gains a +3 bonus instead of the normal +2 bonus.

As a full-round action, you may provide encouragement and guidance to a willing creature within 30 feet. That creature gains a +2 morale bonus on saving throws against fear and despair effects for 10 minutes. A creature may benefit from this ability a number of times per day equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1).

In addition, whenever you successfully remove or suppress a fear effect affecting another creature through a spell, class feature or magical item, both you and the affected creature gain temporary hit points equal to your character level. These temporary hit points last for 1 hour.

Special: Characters with Leadership may treat all followers within 60 feet as having a +1 morale bonus on Will saves against fear effects. This bonus stacks with most other morale bonuses granted by this feat.

Feat - Pride Without Apology

Pride Without Apology [General]

You have learned that identity is neither weakness nor performance - it is endurance. In a world filled with necromancers, tyrants, inquisitors, bloodlines, curses, and rigid social expectations, you have become extraordinarily difficult to shame, manipulate, or emotionally dominate. Whether through surviving rejection, defending others like yourself, or simply refusing to allow the world to define you, your confidence has become armor all its own.

Prerequisites: Wis 11 or Cha 11

Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus on saving throws against fear effects, charm effects, and attempts to intimidate you through the Intimidate skill.

In addition, once per day, when you would become shaken, frightened, or charmed, you may immediately attempt a second saving throw against the effect at the same DC. This second saving throw is made after the initial failure and represents a moment of emotional clarity and self-affirmation.

Special: Characters with this feat gain a +2 bonus on Diplomacy checks made to improve the attitude of creatures who are marginalized, oppressed, socially outcast, or otherwise treated as “lesser” within their culture. This bonus does not apply universally and is intentionally situational at the DM’s discretion.

A fighter may select Pride Without Apology as one of his fighter bonus feats.

Designer’s Note: This feat is intentionally written to represent resilience, self-knowledge, and social survival rather than caricature, fashion, seduction, or identity as spectacle. Its mechanics are grounded in emotional endurance and the ability to resist coercion - something that fits naturally into many adventuring narratives regardless of setting.
