The '''Planar Adept''' is essentially a step taken upwards from the Shadowcaster, except that the Thaumaturge is not limited to one planar influence. This class is designed to replace the Sorceror.

'''Abilities:''' A Thaumaturge's Intelligence and Charisma scores are equally important.

'''Alignment:''' Any.

'''Hit Die:''' d6

'''Starting Gold''': 3d4x10 gp.

'''Starting Age''': As wizard (PH 109).

==Class Features== 
'''Class Skills''' (2 + Int, x4 at 1st level): Concentration, Craft, Hide, Intimidate, Knowledge (all skills taken individually), Move Silently, Profession, Spellcraft, Spot

'''Weapon and Armor Proficiency''': Thaumaturges are proficient with all simple weapons, no kinds of armor, and no shields.

'''Fundamentals (Su)''': As ''Fundamentals of Shadow'', Tome of Magic pg. 112, except drawn from the '''Fundamentals''' list below in addition to the Fundamentals of Shadow listed in the Tome of Magic (pg. 139).

'''Spells''': As ''Mysteries and Paths'', Tome of Magic pg. 112, except with spells drawn from the '''Paths''' list below in addition to the Paths of Shadow listed in the Tome of Magic (pg. 140).

'''Bonus Feats''': As ''Bonus Feats'', Tome of Magic pg. 113.

'''Sense Ability (Su)''': At third level, a thaumaturge's connection to the planes reaches a sort of attunement, and the thaumaturge acquires a sense ability, selected from the list below. At seventh level, this ability improves.

'''Special Ability (Ex)''': At fifth level and every five levels thereafter, a thaumaturge receives bolstering affects from the plane they are most attuned to. These are selected from the '''Special Abilities''' list below. A thaumaturge of sufficient level may receive bolstering affects from more than one plane, but progresses from the start of the list. For instance a thaumaturge of fifteenth level may select the bolstering abilities of Shadow for levels five and ten, and then select the bolstering ability of Fire at level fifteen, but gains the Fire ability at the top of the list (that is, the fifth level ability).
