Soothsayer
Prestige Class
Some people are lucky, others just know what's going to happen. A Soothsayer can predict what will happen within the next few seconds almost perfectly. Some people say they can actually see in to the future. Most Soothsayers are either Bards and Sorcerers due to the chaotic nature of the class. Some Chaotic Neutral Druids take up the Soothsayer as well. Rarely Clerics or Wizards become Soothsayers because they tend to be more focused personalities. Sooth is an archaic word meaning "truth" or "reality".
Alignment: Adjusting your actions in a split second requires a Chaotic personality. Lawful and even Neutral characters are too immalleable for this class.
Hit Dice: d6
Requirements:
* Alignment: Any Chaotic
* Skills: Perception 5 Ranks, Sense Motive 5 Ranks
* Feats: Alertness

Skill Ranks Per Level: 4 + Int modifier.
Class Features:
All of the following are Class Features of the Soothsayer prestige class.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Soothsayers gain no proficiency with any weapon or armor.
Base Attack Bonus: Same as Sorcerer: [Slow]
Saving Throws: Same as Rogue. [High Reflex]
Spells per Day/Spells Known: When a new Soothsayer level is gained, the characters gains new spells per day as if they had also gained a level in a spellcasting class they belonged to before adding the prestige class. They do not, however, gain other benefits a character of that class would have gained, except for additional spells per day, spells known, and an increased effective level of spellcasting. If a character had more than one spellcasting class before becoming a Soothsayer, they must decide to which class they add the new level for purposes of determining spells per day.
Sooth: At 1st level the Soothsayer can magically predict what will happen in the next six seconds (1 round). As a free action, a Soothsayer can select a target creature they can see. For the rest of the round, the Soothsayer receives a +1 dodge bonus to armor class against all attacks made by this creature and a +1 to hit all attacks against this creature. This bonus increases to +2 at level 5 and +3 at level 9. This ability is usable once a day per Soothsayer level.
The Sight: At 2nd level the Soothsayer can cast Augury as a cleric with the caster level equal to the character level once per day as a spell like ability.
Soothsay: At 3rd level the Soothsayer can predict the actions of others almost flawlessly. Once per day, as a free action, a Soothsayer can boost the save DC of any spell they cast with a verbal component by adding half the Soothsayer class level to the DC rounded down.
Evasion: At 4th level the Soothsayer gains the evasion class feature that functions just like the Rogue ability. This reflects the ability of the Soothsayer to be ready for an attack before it happens because they already saw it happen.
Uncanny Dodge: At 6th level the Soothsayer gains the Uncanny Dodge class feature that functions just like the Rogue ability. This reflects the ability of the Soothsayer to be ready for an attack before it happens because they already saw it happen.
Sooth Ally: At 7th level the Soothsayer can use Sooth on an ally within 30 feet as a move action.
Improved Uncanny Dodge: At 8th level the Soothsayer gains the Improved Uncanny Dodge class feature that functions just like the Rogue ability. This reflects the ability of the Soothsayer to be ready for an attack before it happens because they already saw it happen.
Cheat Death: At 10th level the Soothsayer can see their own death. Once per day when a Soothsayer falls below 0 hit points they are immediately restored to 0 hit points. This demonstrates the Soothsayer's ability to choose the best way to react to the situation they know is coming.
Disclaimer: This class is 100% my sole creation and anyone can and please use it in your Pathfinder campaigns, enjoy!
