Improved Toughness: From now on, each time the character takes the toughness feat, he gains HP=the number of HP gained last time the feat was taken+1. For example, when a character who has taken toughness twice takes this feat for the third time, he gains an additional 6 HP (3 for toughness plus 3 more because toughness has been taken a total of 3 times), and he gains 7 HP the fourth time it is taken, etc.
Mega-Flare: This attack inflicts Xd8 non-elemental damage on all targets in a 15’ radius area. (This is a supernatural power and is not subject to spell resistance). X = Charisma modifier + Awakened level. This ability may be used a number of times per day equal to the character’s CON modifier + number of Toughness feats acquired. Range of this power is 400 feet + 40 feet per Awakened level. All creatures get saving throws for half damage as follows:
| Awakened Level | Save Information |
| 1-2 | Fortitude or Reflex (defender’s choice) DC: 11+ Charisma Mod |
| 3-4 | Fortitude or Reflex (defender’s choice) DC: 12+ Charisma Mod |
| 5-6 | Fortitude or Reflex (defender’s choice) DC: 13+ Charisma Mod |
| 7-8 | Fortitude or Reflex (defender’s choice) DC: 14+ Charisma Mod |
| 9-10 | Fortitude or Reflex (defender’s choice) DC: 15+ Charisma Mod |
Mighty Endurance: At levels 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10, roll 1d8 for HP gained at level up instead of 1d6.
Spells: +1 Level of Existing Spellcasting Class: The Awakened continues their previous growth as a spellcaster. At levels 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10, the character gains new spells per day as if he had also gained a level in whatever spellcasting class he belonged to before he added the prestige class. He does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained. If a character had more than one spellcasting class before he became Awakened, he must decide in which class he adds +1 level for purposes of determining spells per day.
Overload Spell: This ability is gained at level 3. With it, the caster may try to add metamagic feats to a spell without increasing the required slot cost to cast. This is risky and dangerous to the spell caster, but the payoffs can be enormous.
The caster loses HP equal to the spell level (cantrips are level ½) times the metamagic feat total level increase. So, an Empowered Magic Missile deals 2 damage to the caster, while a Silent, Still Fireball deals 6.
The caster must make a concentration check DC 15+damage suffered (see above) or the spell casting attempt fails. This counts as one of the character’s daily uses of this power.
This ability may be used once per day per class level.
Flight of the Dragon: At level 5, the character gains the ability to fly at will. His speed equals his charisma modifier times ten, and his maneuverability class is perfect. This is a supernatural ability.
Power Up: Choose one power from the following list each time this ability is gained (the same power may not be selected multiple times unless otherwise specified):
- Power Flare: Mega-Flare rolls d10s instead of d8s for damage, and 1 extra die is rolled.
- Concentrate Flare: +4 DC with Mega-Flare attacks.
- Focus Flare: The Mega-Flare attack can be focused on one target (5' diameter blast). If this is done, the caster chooses the type of saving throw (Fortitude or Reflex) allowed for half damage.
- Flight Mastery: Double speed with Flight of the Dragon
- Metamastery: +5 bonus on Overload Spell concentration checks and Overload Spell may be used once more per day.
- Aura Mastery: May activate Imposing Aura one additional time per day. This may be taken more than once. Its effects stack.
- Superior Vitality: Gain the Toughness Feat. This may be chosen multiple times. Of course, its effects stack.
