Silvermoon Vigilant

==Silvermoon Vigilant==
Lycanthropy is a heavy burden to bear, and none know it better than the Silvermoon Vigilants. Technically an offshoot of the orthodox Knights of the Silver Moon, the first Silvermoon Vigilants were the result of a political schism within that ancient lycan order over its all-consuming code of conduct. Then and now, Silvermoon Vigilants are less concerned with the eradication of lycanthropes and more concerned with managing the dangers of their curse and helping others do the same. Both orders draw from the same mystic Elunaran traditions, warding themselves and their allies in moonlight and ritual, taking many of the same precautions in protecting themselves and the rest of the world from the Beast within.
*Role: Utility. Silvermoon Vigilants excel in augmenting their allies' abilities through Lunar Vigils and are generally tougher to take down than members of their Aligned Classes due to their Argent Aegis' protective abilities. As with all Werewolf prestige classes, Silvermoon Vigilants are Werewolves, and categorically make dangerous melee combatants.

===Class Features===
All the following are class features of the Silvermoon Vigilant prestige class.
*Weapon and Armor Silvermoon Vigilants gain proficiency with all martial weapons, tower shields, and proficiency with light, medium, and heavy armor.
====Argent Aegis (Ex, Su)====
At 1st-level a Silvermoon Vigilant creates an Argent Aegis — a mystically imbued armament that protects them from the Beast within. Choose an item or ability (a class feature or casting-equivalent ability) that grants an Armor or Shield bonus to AC. While benefiting from your Argent Aegis' bonus to AC, a Silvermoon Vigilant gains the following abilities. Any bonuses granted by Argent Aegis are Axiomatic or Sacred, corresponding to the Silvermoon Vigilant's alignment, or their choice if Lawful Good. A new Argent Aegis can be consecrated if the need arises. (see Wizard Familiar). At 1st-level a Silvermoon Vigilant can spend (Class Level + Wisdom or Charisma modifier) rounds per day in Lycanthrope Form before risking Fury. They reduce the DC of their Curse of Lycanthropy by (Class Level). They gain a +1 bonus to AC, CMD, and Saving Throws.
At 3rd-level a Silvermoon Vigilant can spend (2 × [Class Level + Wisdom or Charisma modifier]) rounds per day in Lycanthrope Form before risking Fury, and the Argent Aegis bonus to AC, CMD, and Saving Throws increases to +2. 
At 5th-level a Silvermoon Vigilant can spend (3 × [Class Level + Wisdom or Charisma modifier]) rounds per day in Lycanthrope Form before risking Fury, and the Argent Aegis bonus to AC, CMD, and Saving Throws increases to +3.
====Aligned Class (Ex)====
At 2nd-level a Silvermoon Vigilant selects a class they belonged to before adding the Prestige Class to be their Aligned Class. They gain all of the class features for their Aligned Class, essentially adding the indicated Silvermoon Vigilant levels to their Aligned Class to determine what class features they gain. They still retain the Hit Dice, base attack bonus, saving throw bonuses, and skill ranks of the Prestige Class, but gain all other class features of their Aligned Class as well as those of the Silvermoon Vigilant prestige class.
====Lunar Vigil (Su, Sp)====
At 1st-level a Silvermoon Vigilant can hold a Lunar Vigil — a mystic ritual and warrior gathering — over 1 hour under the moon and night sky. They cannot hold another Lunar Vigil until moonrise of the next lunar phase. They may grant the listed number of boons to themself and up to (Class Level + Wisdom or Charisma modifier) attendants. Boons last until moonrise of the next lunar phase and can be used (1 + 1/2 Class Level) times per day. A creature can only benefit from one Lunar Vigil's boons at once. Bonuses granted by Lunar Vigils are Axiomatic or Sacred, corresponding to the Argent Aegis bonus type.
* Boon of Discipline (Su) As a Swift or Immediate action you may discipline an ally within 60 feet. Disciplined creatures ignore ability and skill restrictions from abilities such as a Barbarian's Rage or the Lycanthrope Form until the start of your next turn, and immediately attempt a new Saving Throw against any ongoing effect causing them to be Frenzied.
* Boon of Denial (Su) If you would be affected by a [Curse], [Emotion], [Evil], or [Fiendish] effect you may delay its onset by up to (1 + ½ Class Level) rounds. Only one effect may be denied this way. Denied effects whose source is killed or destroyed before onset are negated.
* Boon of Silver (Su) You may handle silver items if you are vulnerable or weak to silver and you do not risk Fury when damaged by silver. As a Swift Action you can imbue a natural or manufactured melee weapon with silvered energies, treating it as though it were made of silver for the next successful hit made within 1 minute.
* Boon of Succor (Sp) You can use cure moderate wounds, lesser restoration, or remove curse as spell-like abilities, using your HD as your CL and the higher of your Wisdom or Charisma modifier as your spellcasting modifier. These spell-like abilities can only be used on creatures who do not have the Boon of Succor.
* Boon of Survival (Su) You gain (Class Level + Argent Aegis total bonus to AC) temporary hit-points at the beginning of each encounter. Increase the number of negative hit-points required to kill or destroy you by the same amount. You remain conscious while at negative hit-points as though you had Ferocity.
====Attuned Phase (Su, Sp)====
At 4th-level a Silvermoon Vigilant attunes to one of the eight phases of the moon. Lunar Vigils they hold during this phase reduce the Corruption of Werewolves present by 1 point. At the conclusion of a Lunar Vigil held during this phase of the moon, the Silvermoon Vigilant gains the benefits of a divination with a base chance for correct information of (100 - Corruption Score) percent. The specified goal, event, or activity must pertain to Werewolves or Lycanthropy.
Silvermoon Vigilants measure the phases of the moon as follows: New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Third Quarter, and Waning Crescent. Each phase typically lasts 3-4 days. DMs and Players can track the accurate phase of the moon with this tool, the Chaos Dreams calendar.
====Silvermoon Disciple (Su)====
At 5th-level a Silvermoon Vigilant partially mantles a powerful technique from the ancient annals of the Knights of the Silver Moon. This class feature can only be used while the Silvermoon Vigilant has their Argent Aegis' bonus to AC, and can be changed during a Lunar Vigil.
* Disciple of the Luminous Fire (Su) Three times per day as a Swift Action you can empower your weapon with Luminous Fire for 3 minutes. Attacks made with that weapon gain your choice of one of the following benefits; you ignore Natural Armor and Profane bonuses to AC; you gain a +3 Insight bonus to Attack and Damage rolls; or you deal an additional +1d4 each of Light, Sacred, and Shadow damage on a successful hit.
* Disciple of the Moon Shield (Su) Three times per day as a Swift Action you can create a 30ft. aura centered on yourself lasting 3 minutes. Allies within this aura gain a +3 Axiomatic or Sacred bonus to AC, CMD, and Saving Throws. They also gain your choice of DR 3/Silver which stacks with other DR/Silver they have, or Resistance 5 against Light, Sacred, and Shadow damage.
* Disciple of the Silver Tongue (Su) Three times per day as a Full-Round Action you can speak a short phrase in the Silver Tongue. Other creatures that can hear you take 3d6 Sacred damage, which is treated as though it were silver. A successful Will save (DC 15 + Wisdom or Charisma modifier) halves this damage. Creatures that are Good-aligned or who have the Argent Aegis class feature take half damage on a failed save and no damage on a successful save. Select 3 additional effects from the list below.
**Allies that succeed their saving throw are healed for half of the total damage rolled.
**Decrease the amount of Sacred Damage dealt by -1d6 and increase the DC by +2. You may select this effect more than once.
**Increase the amount of Sacred Damage dealt by +1d6. You may select this effect more than once.
**Vassals of Cherax and Werewolves with a higher Corruption tier than yours save with Disadvantage.
