Pikeman (Fighter)
Pikemen are the most basic infantry in any army, armed with polearms to devastating effect. With the advantage of reach alone, many novice combatants have been trained to inflict great harm in the short timespan of a month. From the Dalelands Farmer with a sharp rock and a stick, to the Archendale Soldier armed with a well forged Glaive, the Pikeman's use in battles across Toril have been tried and true beneath the test of time, and remain well valued to this day.

Level 6. Bonus Feat: Improved Initiative.

Contriver perk alteration:

Mage Armor spell to provide a minimum of +2 AC regardless of armor-type, or apply a temporary property of weight reduction.

Reason: This sorcerer perk won't be using its light or medium arnor proficiency when they can cast Mage Armor on a robe (thats more likely to provide spell slots for Sorcerers) for the same AC, no armor check penalties or DEX modifier caps and save a considerable amount of weight in the process.

Far-Minded

You have heard them calling for you. They speak to you in indescribable tongues. Secrets await those who search outside this ignorant world. Few dare follow this path.It is as much a path of knowledge as it is a path of madness.

Or will it turn to mush as you delve deeper and deeper...

Fey-Touched

It is not unknown for fey tricks to end in blurry nights and mysterious births. Your own birth was said to have brought a celebration lasting days. Your presence brings unintended rounds of drinks, pleasures, and susceptible people... You find a deep satisfaction in spreading this whimsy... but for what purpose? To manipulate your victims before you land the killing blow? To keep a lord's banquet entertained with shining lights and dazzling displays. Your blood urges you to revel and find joy in your powers.

Rogue perk - Gypsy
(desired to be added) Gives a +5 to Efuss skill Wilderness survival or a being able to rest without a fire.

[Pentaxius]

It's been proposed. But the problem is you can't have a confusion effect that bypasses immunity to mind affecting. I agree one round of confusion once and a while would be the most thematic effect.

Are you sure about that? Laughing Gas bypasses mind affecting immunity.
