====== Mesmer ====== Nagari Mesmer === [advent class] === \\ //Rules governing [[Advent Classes]]//\\ Mesmers are a unique class of ki users in that they weave performance into their fighting style. Whether it be dance, oration, song, or even a musical performance, mesmers tap into the ki resonance that can be acheived through their performance to enhance their abilities. Through their artistic expression, mesmers are able to regulate their ki flow in the same way that other classes use body movements. Mesmers are masters of illusion and hold a strange and curious power over their audiences. Mesmers can also chain their abilities to create arching performances that build a momentum for them and their allies \\ **Mesmer Advent Class Level Table** ^ Level ^Talent Points^Level Bonuses^ ^ 1 |10 Talent Points|1 Talent| ^ 2 |10 Talent Points|1 Talent| ^ 3 |10 Talent Points|5 Bonus Talent Points| ^ 4 |10 Talent Points|1 Talent| ^ 5 |15 Talent Points|1 Feat| ^ 6 |15 Talent Points|1 Talent| ^ 7 |15 Talent Points|5 Bonus Talent Points| ^ 8 |15 Talent Points|1 Talent| ^ 9 |20 Talent Points|1 Feat| ^ 10 |20 Talent Points|10 Bonus Talent Points| \\ ===== Talent tree ===== {{map>:wiki:mesmer_talents.png?nolink |}} [[Mesmer#Astral Projection|jump to Astral Projection @ 120, 467, 188, 535]] [[Mesmer#Captivate|jump to Captivate @ 309, 547, 377, 615]] [[Mesmer#Exquisite Performance|jump to Exquisite Performance @ 428, 394, 496, 462]] [[Mesmer#Fascimile|jump to Fascimile @ 309, 12, 377, 80]] [[Mesmer#Grace Note|jump to Grace Note @ 309, 117, 377, 185]] [[Mesmer#Grand Rest|jump to Grand Rest @ 502, 92, 570, 160]] [[Mesmer#Illusion|jump to Illusion @ 192, 166, 260, 234]] [[Mesmer#Jete de Chat|jump to Jete de Chat @ 309, 444, 377, 512]] [[Mesmer#Mimesis|jump to Mimesis @ 428, 522, 496, 590]] [[Mesmer#Radiant Performance|jump to Radiant Performance @ 192, 394, 260, 462]] [[Mesmer#Resonant|jump to Resonant @ 426, 168, 494, 236]] [[Mesmer#Sensuous|jump to Sensuous @ 189, 41, 257, 109]] [[Mesmer#Somatic Echo|jump to Somatic Echo @ 146, 279, 214, 347]] [[Mesmer#Structured Mind|jump to Structured Mind @ 473, 280, 541, 348]] {{ a glass sphere with a pink flower inside ==== Astral projection ==== **Action**: Standard\\ **Requires**: [[mesmer#Radiant Performance]], Mesmer Level 6\\ **Description**: You create an ethereal projection of yourself at a location within the range\\ **Range**: 30 feet\\ **Speed**: Instant\\ **Effect**: Projection at target location, for up to 6 seconds\\ **Cooldown**: Once per day\\ **Special**: The projection is translucent and does not appear to be real, though the representation is accurate.
