Weapon and Armor Proficiency: An armorist is proficient
with all simple and martial weapons, light armor, medium ar- mor, and shields (except tower shields).
Casting: An armorist may combine spheres and talents to cre-
ate magical effects. An armorist is considered a Low-Caster and uses Wisdom as her casting ability modifier. (Note: All casters gain 2 bonus talents and may select a casting tradition the first time they gain the casting class feature.)
Spell Pool: An armorist gains a small reservoir of energy she
can call on to create truly wondrous effects, called a spell pool.

This pool contains a number of spell points equal to her level + her Wisdom modifier (minimum: 1). This pool replenishes once per day after roughly 8 hours of rest.
Magic Talents: An armorist gains a magic talent at 2nd level
and every 2 levels thereafter, according to Table: Armorist.
Summon Equipment (Su): An armorist may spend a spell
point as a move action to conjure a weapon or shield into her hands, which stays for 1 minute per level before disappearing. The armorist must be proficient with the weapon or type of shield to summon it, and in the case of exotic weapons, she must have studied a pre-existing version of the weapon for at least 1 week. This weapon or shield is masterwork quality, and while antimagic barriers may prevent the armorist from sum- moning these items, the items themselves are not considered magical creations and so may not be dispelled. Ranged weapons come with 50 pieces of basic ammunition.
At 5th level, the armorist may conjure any type of armor she is proficient with, either on her own body as a move action or on a touched willing target’s body as a standard action. This causes any armor the target is wearing to disappear in favor of the new armor until the dura- tion is over and the old armor returns.
Dismissing summoned equipment is a free action. Summoned equipment gains a +1 en- hancement bonus for every 3 armorist levels the creator possesses, to a maximum of +6 at 18th level. These bonuses may be traded for special qualities according to
Table: Bound Equipment. A piece
of summoned equipment cannot have higher than a +5 enhancement bonus; enhancement bonuses beyond this amount must be traded for special qualities.
Bound Equipment (Su): An ar-
morist gains a bond with a specific weapon or shield that is far great- er than with her other summoned equipment. Bound equipment is sum- moned and treated just like summoned equipment, except it does not cost a spell point to summon, cannot be used by anyone other than the armorist herself (the item’s magic does not function in another’s hands), comes with limitless ammunition, and disappears 1 round after leaving the armorist’s hands. She gains another piece of bound equip- ment at 5th level, 10th level, 15th level, and 20th level and may select a suit of armor beginning at 5th level or a staff beginning at 10th level.
Bound equipment is masterwork quality, and gains a cumulative +1 enhancement bonus for every odd armorist level possessed beyond 1st, increasing to +10 at 20th level. A piece of bound equipment’s enhancement bonus can- not exceed +1 per 3 levels (minimum: +1, maximum: +5);
all enhancement bonus beyond this must be traded for special qualities.
An armorist may give her bound weapon special enhancement properties from Table: Bound Equipment, trading enhance- ment bonus for other benefits. Bound equipment cannot be en- chanted through any other means than gaining armorist levels and must retain at least a +1 enhancement bonus.
A bound staff does not possess enhancement bonuses, but in- stead grants the armorist access to magic talents she does not normally possess. A bound staff may hold one magic talent per 2 points of enhancement bonus.
Once a piece of bound equipment has been selected, or once its special qualities have been chosen, they may only be changed

if the armorist spends 8 hours (1 day) meditating to dismiss the old piece of bound equipment and create a new piece of bound equipment to take its place.
The armorist’s bound equipment can be damaged and sun- dered, but always returns to full health the following day. A bound double-weapon must divide its enhancement bonus- es and weapon qualities between the two ends (for example, a +5 bound quarterstaff could have a +3 bonus on one end and a +2 bonus on the other.) Alternately, the armorist may bind each end of the double weapon as a separate piece of bound equipment, thus granting full bonuses to each half. If one end of the double weapon has no bonuses, it is still considered masterwork.
Arsenal Trick: At second level and every even-numbered lev-
el thereafter the armorist gains an arsenal trick, representing the ways she has chosen to focus her study of equipment and its uses. Unless otherwise specified, an individual arsenal trick can only be gained once.

mated quality does not disappear until after it has finished its 4

of special qualities you may add to your bound and summoned weapons.

ment. You may take this arsenal trick multiple times. Each time it is gained, you gain an additional piece of bound equipment.
Extradimensional Storage (Sp): You gain the extradimensional
storage Warp sphere talent, even if you do not possess the Warp sphere. You may use your armorist level as your caster level for this ability if it is higher, and you may choose to summon items from your extradimensional storage with the same action and with the same rules (such as replacing one suit of armor with another) as your other summoned equipment.

ities you may add to your summoned and bound weapons and armor/shields respectively.
Improved Equipment: Choose one piece of bound equipment
you possess. That piece of equipment gains an additional +1 enhancement bonus. If you permanently dismiss this piece of bound equipment, you may transfer this bonus to another piece of bound equipment you possess. You may take this talent mul- tiple times. Each time it is taken, increase the bonus granted by another piece of bound equipment by 1. You cannot increase an individual item more than once with this arsenal trick.

mon equipment or create bound equipment out of cold iron or mithril.

the transformative special quality.
Tower Shield: You gain the Tower Shield Proficiency feat. Trap and Free: (Requires Armorist 5) Add advancing, anchoring,
and reposition to the list of special qualities you may add to your bound and summoned weapons.
Weapon Focus: You gain the Weapon Focus feat.
Armor Training (Ex): Starting at 3rd level, an armorist learns
to be more maneuverable while wearing armor. Whenever she is wearing armor, she reduces the armor check penalty by 1 (to a minimum of 0) and increases the maximum Dexterity bonus al- lowed by her armor by 1. Every four levels thereafter (7th, 11th, 15th, and 19th) these bonuses increase by +1, to a maximum –5 reduction of the armor check penalty and a +5 increase of the maximum Dexterity bonus allowed.
In addition, an armorist can also move at her normal speed while wearing medium armor. At 7th level, an armorist can move at her normal speed while wearing heavy armor.
Quick Summons: At 15th level, the armorist may summon
or switch equipment onto herself as a swift action instead of a move action. This improves to a free action at 20th level.
