牧师变体:先兆呼唤者(Herald Caller)出处:怪物召唤手册(Monster Summoner‘s handbook)pg.7先兆呼唤者不像战争祭司或者圣武士一样以神之名冲锋陷阵,他们善于召唤强大的异界生物援助友军。
技能点数:4+智力修正
专注召唤者:先兆呼唤者依赖召唤盟友应敌,相比其他牧师,他们缺乏武技训练和灵性修养。先兆呼唤者只能从他神祇的领域列表中选择一个领域,且不擅长中甲和盾牌。此能力改变了牧师的领域和擅长防具。
呼唤先兆:先兆呼唤者可以将法术能量转化为召唤法术。她可以失去一个准备好的法术并将其转化为同环级或较低环级的召唤怪物法术。当她以防御式施法施放召唤怪物法术时,她的专注检定获得+1加值。此加值在5级时增长为+2,并在之后每5级获得+1加值。
神圣先兆:先兆呼唤者只能使用召唤怪物来召唤适合其神祗的特定生物。这包括了所有在她信仰的神祗的牧师召唤列表中的生物(参见第三十页的牧师扩展召唤规则),阵营与他所信奉的神祇在善良/邪恶轴、以及秩序/混乱轴上相差共计一阶以内的生物,以及元素亚种与她信仰神祗领域相符的元素生物(如果适用)。信仰混乱神祗的先兆召唤者在召唤原始模板为天界/炼狱的生物时可选择将其替换为熵化(Entropic)模板生物,信仰守序神祗的先兆召唤者则可将其替换为绝对(Resolute)模板生物。(详情参考怪物手册2第292-293页中的简单模板规则)
由于召唤生物与其神祗具有强大链接,先兆呼唤者在使用牧师法术列表中的召唤怪物法术召唤生物时会获得额外的增益效果。先兆呼唤者与其召唤的怪物互相理解,如同两者共用一种语言(虽然此能力不会使召唤生物习得原本不会的语言)当先兆呼唤者使用引导能量进行治疗时,此能力效果可包括其所有召唤生物,即使这些生物不在能力范围之内或通常不受此类能量影响。如果她使用引导能量造成伤害,她可将任意数量由她召唤的生物排除在能力效果之外。
强大先兆:4级时,先兆召唤者获得“增强召唤”作为额外专长,且在获取以“增强召唤”为前置条件的专长(如ACG第146页的”召唤生物进化“)时视为拥有“法术专攻(咒法)”。8级时,先兆召唤者获得”高等召唤“(参见极限魔法第157页)作为额外专长。

Herald Caller
Source Monster Summoner's Handbook pg. 7
Unlike warpriests or paladins, who charge headlong into battle in the name of their patron deities, herald callers are adept at calling powerful outsiders to aid their brethren in battle.
Skill Ranks per Level: 4 + Int modifier. This alters the cleric’s class skills.
Dedicated Summoner: A herald caller depends on summoned allies to overcome her foes, which affords her little experience with the martial pursuits typical of other clerics and a narrower spiritual focus. A herald caller can choose only one domain from her deity’s list of domains, rather than the normal two domains, and she doesn’t gain proficiency with medium armor or shields. This ability alters the cleric’s domains and armor proficiencies.
Call Heralds (Su): A herald caller can channel stored spell energy into summoning spells that she hasn’t prepared ahead of time. She can lose a prepared spell in order to cast any summon monster spell of the same level or lower. She gains a +1 bonus on concentration checks to cast a summon monster spell defensively. This bonus increases to +2 at 5th level, and increases by 1 every 5 cleric levels thereafter.
Divine Heralds (Su): A herald caller can use summon monster spells only to summon creatures particularly appropriate to her deity. This includes all creatures listed as summon monster options for priests of her deity (see Expanded Summoning for Priests on page 30), creatures whose alignment matches at least one aspect of her deity’s alignment, and creatures of an elemental subtype that matches a domain granted by the deity (if any). When summoning a creature that is normally summoned with the celestial or fiendish template, a herald caller of a chaotic deity can instead summon it with the entropic template, and a herald caller of a lawful deity can instead summon it with the resolute template (see pages 292–293 of Pathfinder RPG Bestiary 2 for more information on these simple templates).
Because of these summoned monsters’ strong ties to the herald caller’s deity, the herald caller also gains specific benefits with creatures she summons with summon monster spells gained from her cleric spell list. The herald caller and her summoned monsters can understand each other’s spoken words as if they shared a common language (though this doesn’t give summoned monsters the ability to speak if they normally lack it). Whenever the herald caller uses channel energy to heal, she can include all of her summoned monsters, even if they are out of her normal channel energy radius or of a creature type that would not normally be affected. If she channels energy to deal damage, she can exclude any of her summoned monsters that would normally be affected.
Mighty Heralds: At 4th level, a herald caller receives Augment Summoning as a bonus feat, and is considered to have Spell Focus (conjuration) for the purposes of prerequisites for feats that have Augment Summoning as a prerequisite (such as Evolved Summoned Monster on page 146 of the Pathfinder RPG Advanced Class Guide). At 8th level, she gains Superior Summoning (Pathfinder RPG Ultimate Magic 157) as a bonus feat.
