Class Features

All of the following are class features of the Geisha gestalt prestige class.

Weapon and Armour Proficiency

Geisha's gain proficiency with all fans and warfans if they did not have that already. They gain no armour proficiencies.

Ki Grace

A geisha adds her charisma bonus (if any) to her ki pool. If she already adds her charisma to her ki pool from another source (such as the Ninja class), she instead gains 2 points of ki.

Shimada

Starting at ?th level, a Geisha can spent at least one hour doing her hair, preparing it in an elaborate style conforming to current fashions. When prepared in this manner, the Geisha's hair counts as heavy or baggy clothing for the purposes of hiding an item, thus granting a +2 bonus to Sleight of Hands.

Additionally, by spending one point of Ki, the Geisha may draw the item as a free action instead of a standard action.

Timeless Body

At ?th level, a Geisha no longer takes penalties to her ability scores for aging and cannot be magically aged. Any such penalties that she has already taken, however, remain in place. Age bonuses still accrue, and the Geisha still dies of old age when her time is up.

Improved Balance

At ?th level, a Geisha's sense of balance improves significantly. As long as she has at least 1 point of Ki in her ki pool, she can wear heels without incurring a penalty to movement.

Additionally, she can spend one point of Ki to automatically succeed at a skill check to avoid falling or being knocked prone, such as a Climb check made to avoid falling due to damage taken.

Ki Skill

As the Geisha gains experience, she learns to apply her Ki to various skills. Starting at ?th level, she mark one of the following as a Ki Skill:

• Acrobatics
• Perform (Any)
• Sleight of Hand
• Stealth

She gains an additional Ki Skill for every ? levels of Geisha attained after ?th level. A geisha cannot select an individual skill more than once, though she can select different variations of a skill as Ki Skills (for example Perform: Dance and Perform: Song)

A Geisha can spend one point of Ki to gain a +5 bonus to one use of one of her Ki skills.
