====Class Features====

All of the following are class features of the half-outsider hybrid.

'''Weapon and Armor Proficiency:''' Half-Outsider Hybrids are proficient with all simple and martial weapons, and light armor and shields.

'''{{Anchor|Advancement}}:''' At 2nd and 4th level, you gain class features (including spellcasting ability) and an increase in effective level as if you had also gained a level in a class to which you belonged to before adding the prestige class level.  You do not, however, gain the benefit of your previous class's hit dice, attack progression, skill points, or saving throws.  If you had more than one class before becoming a half-outsider hybrids, you must decide which class to add to each level for the purpose of determining class features.

'''{{Anchor|Bloodline}}:''' At 1st level the half-outsider hybrid awakens his celestial or fiendish traits in his blood.  Choose celestial if good aligned, or fiendish if evil aligned.  This determines your benefits for the subsequent levels in half-outsider hybrid.  Those of each kind are sometimes referred to as half-celestial or half-fiend hybrids.

'''{{Anchor|Darkvision}} {{Ex}}:''' A half-outsider hybrid gains darkvision 60 feet (or if they already have darkvision, they increase it by +30 feet).

'''{{Anchor|Natural Armor}}:''' A half-outsider hybrid gains a +1 bonus to natural armor.

'''{{Anchor|Outsider Qualities}}:''' Each level, the half-outsider hybrid receives a number of abilities based on if they chose celestial or fiendish blood, as seen below.

|}

''{{Anchor|Ability Bonus}}:''  As a half-celestial hybrid gains levels in this prestige class, his ability scores increase as noted above.  These increases stack and are gained as if through level advancement. 

''{{Anchor|Resistance to Poison}} {{Ex}}:'' The half-celestial hybrid gains a +4 bonus on saving throws against poison.

''{{Anchor|Immune to Disease}} {{Ex}}:'' The half-celestial hybrid becomes immune to disease.

|- 
| 5th || class="left" | Ability Bonus (+2 [[Str]], +2 [[Dex]], +2 [[Int]], +2 [[Cha]]), ''[[SRD:Blacklight|Blacklight]]''
|}

''{{Anchor|Ability Bonus}}:''  As a half-fiend hybrid gains levels in this prestige class, his ability scores increase as noted above.  These increases stack and are gained as if through level advancement. 

''{{Anchor|Resistance to Disease}} {{Ex}}:'' The half-fiend hybrid gains a +4 bonus on saving throws against disease.

''{{Anchor|Immune to Poison}} {{Ex}}:'' The half-fiend hybrid becomes immune to poison.

'''{{Anchor|Planetouched Subtype}}:''' The half-outsider hybrid gains the planetouched subtype, associating them with one of the upper or lower planes as appropriate.  This has no mechanical benefits (other than making them the target of outsider-specific effects like favored enemy and ''[[SRD:Dismissal|dismissal]]'') and they do not gain the benefits of the Outsider type.

'''{{Anchor|Smite}} {{Su}}:''' Once per day a half-outsider hybrid can make a normal melee attack to gain its [[Charisma]] modifier as a bonus to attack rolls, and to deal extra damage equal to its HD against an opponent of evil (if celestial) or good (if fiendish) alignment.

At 5th level, the half-outsider hybrid can use their smite ability once per encounter instead of once per day.

'''''{{Anchor|Spell-Likes}}'' {{Sp}}:''' Half-Outsider Hybrids gain a number of spell-like abilities.  Each level they gain access to more abilities, but do not actually gain them until they have enough HD to match.  At 1st level, a half-outsider hybrid gains access to the first 2 levels of spell-like abilities, provided he has enough HD.  At 2nd level, he gains the next two levels.  Then at 3rd, the next two, at 4th the next two, until finally at 5th when he has the complete list.  Below are the spell-like abilities granted (based on his bloodline) and the HD limit to be able to use them.  If not otherwise marked, spell-like abilities are able to be used 1/day.

'''{{Anchor|Energy Resistances}} {{Ex}}:''' At 2nd level, the half-outsider hybrid gains energy resistances associated with its bloodline.  Half-celestial hybrids gain energy resistance acid, cold, and electricity equal to twice their class level.  Half-fiend hybrids gain energy resistance acid, cold, and fire equal to twice their class level.  These resistances stack with racial energy resistance, but not temporary or magical resistances.

'''{{Anchor|Natural Weapons}}:''' At 2nd level, the half-outsider hybrid gains natural weapons associated with its bloodline.  Half-celestial hybrids gain a slam attack which deals 2d6 points of damage plus one and a half times your [[Strength]] modifier (for medium creatures).  Half-fiend hybrids instead get two claws and a bite attack that deal 1d4 and 1d6 points of damage plus [[Strength]] modifier.

'''{{Anchor|Spell Resistance}} {{Ex}}:''' At 3rd level, the half-outsider hybrid gains spell resistance equal to 10 + its HD.

'''{{Anchor|Damage Reduction}} {{Ex}}:''' At 4th level, the half-outsider hybrid gains damage reduction/magic equal to its class level.  If the half-outsider hybrid has 12 or more HD, the damage reduction becomes twice its class level.

'''{{Anchor|Outsider Type}}:''' A 5th level half-outsider hybrid has become a full outsider and gains the outsider type, as well as the Good or Evil subtype as associated with their bloodline.  They are considered to be a native of both the appropriate outer plane and the material plane, but are not of the native subtype.  They do not need to eat or sleep, and are biologically immortal.  They are considered to be a member of their original type when beneficial (and as such can be raised and resurrected normally).

'''{{Anchor|Wings}}:''' A 5th level half-outsider hybrid gains wings appropriate for their type (angel wings, or devil wings).  Regardless of the appearance, they gain a fly speed (good) equal to twice their land speed.
