History:
In the wars between Elfs and Orcs 150 years ago, the Orcs made a Pact with the much mightier Ogres. This led to the Elves needing more aid, but none was to be found.
To countermand this problem, all Elven mages were pulled from the battle field, and asked to make magic items specifically for the coming battles. As the Elf mages made these magic items however, they became weaker. So they all one hundred and twenty-six gathered, and crafted on mighty axe to turn the tide of the war. It was named, “Ogre Killer”, and it was entrusted to their best rogue. In the night he stalked into the Ogre camp, and slew them all before the night was through. It now rests in your hands, keep it well

Bladestone
A Bladestone is an almost oval stone, consisting of raw iron with small etchings of rust. All around the center is a small saw-toothed and sharp iron outcropping.
The stone can be used as a sling bullet, but due to its irregular features, the user receives an -2 penalty to attack, but it does a flat +2 points in damage due to the sharp edges of the stone. The stone's major power however, is much more deadly than this. When a command word is uttered, the stone will burst into a horizontal Blade Barrier, as per the 6th level divine prayer, covering an area 30 feet on each side where the room allows. This form cannot be altered, and if the room doesn't allow it to expand in one direction, it cannot extend in another instead, but is simply reduced in size.
The barrier remains in effect (unless dispelled) for 2 hours before it dissipates. Those caught in its initial invoking are entitled to a reflex saving throw at (DC 16) to avoid it completely (jump free). Those missing their reflex saving throw or tries to pass through the barrier while it is active take 13d6 in damage.
The Bladestone is a single use item.
Caster Level: 11th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Items, Blade Barrier
Market Price: 3,300 gp; Creation Cost: 1,650 gp + 132 XP.

Vampire Hunter (part 1)
I had an NPC that was very important to the story, and I couldn't find any classes that matched him. He was a vampire hunter turned mad scientist. This, is the vampire hunter part of that. Once It's finished, I'll post the 'turned mad scientist' part, too.

Undead Scent: A Vampire Slayer of level 2 can smell undead within 30 feet of him. Also, he can tell if the undead is a vampire or not. He can not identify other undead in this way. (He can tell there are undead, but not that they are ghouls, for example)
Slow Heart: A vampire of level 3 or higher can control her heart rate to such an extent that she can make herself seem panicked, or even dead.
Hunter’s Attire; There are several iconic pieces of Vampire Hunter equipment. Most prominent among these are the hat, the vest, and the gloves. At level 4, the Vampire hunter gets the gloves. A powerful, but often overlooked piece of equipment. At level 7, they aquire a hat, although they have a choice of two items, here. At level ten, the vest is granted to a Vampire Hunter, a magnificent piece of equipment, this vest offers great protection
Gloves: These gloves each have a slot for a small weapon, such as a dagger, and the gloves are covered in so many straps and buckles, that if you don't know where to look, it is nearly impossible to find the weapon. Also, these gloves can make wooden stakes. Making a stake takes 2 rounds, and no more than 6 can be in existence at any time from a single pair of gloves (3 each) new stakes can be made after 6, but the old ones disappear.
Hat: This hat is a broad-brimmed brown tattered thing. When worn, It can confer one of two abilities (chosen when aquired) Darkvision out to 60 feet, or the ability to detect heartbeats out to 90 feet.
Vest: This vest is a sleeveless leather thing. It has great protective properties. It grants either 20 temporary hit points a day, at midnight, that last up to 24 hours, or it can grant resistance to all elements 8. If worn with armor, it grants +2 AC. If worn alone, it grants +5 AC. It counts as clothing.

Devotion: At 1st level, you choose a creature type, most choose humanoid, and then at levels 5, and 10, you narrow this selection. For example, 1st level, you select undead. Then humanoid undead, then finally medium/large humanoid undead. If a creature falls into your first devotion, you get +1 to hit, damage, and AC against it. If it falls into your second, you get +3, and if it falls into your third, you get +6
Create Scalpel: As a Biologist, a scalpel is a very useful tool. it is a sharp, portable weapon, and is nescecary for many of your skills. Creating a scalpel requires a DC 15 craft weapon check, with a +5 competence bonus on the check. However, it must be regularly sharpened (every day it is used, and every 3 days it is not) or it becomes worthless. To sharpen it, you must make another craft weapon check. (DC 10) Your +5 competence bonus applies to this check as well.
Scalpel proficiency: you can fight with your scalpel without penalty. A scalpel does D4 damage, has a 19-20 x3 critical, weighs 1/2 Lb, is tiny, and does slashing damage. it can not be used as a thrown weapon.
Anatomical Strike: Begining at level 2, when in combat, you can make an attack with your scalpel as a free action that does not provoke attacks of opprotunity. this attack can only be preformed on your turn, and the attack bonus is your BAB + your biologist level(+ any possible enhancements to the scalpel).
Dissection:A Biologist of 3rd level or higher can dissect a creature to learn more about them. A Biologist who dissects a creature gets a +1 competence bonus against that creature for the next 24 hours. This bonus is to your attack, damage, and AC, as well as against saves that the creature naturally causes (a snakes venom, but not a goblins poison coated weapon). After 10 dissections of the same creature type (undead, reptile, etc.) this bonus lasts for a week. 20 dissections, and the bonus becomes permanent. These bonus stack with one another, up to a max of +5. Dissection must be done with a scalpel, until level 7, when you can use any tiny keen weapon.
Graft: A biologist can choose a grafting skill related to his devotions (You can choose dragon-grafting, if you have reptilians as a devotion for example) and you now know how to do this. When using this graft skill, you do not lose experience while grafting.
Diagnose: You can diagnose a disease or other illness that a target has with a heal check (DC 25). You can also heal a target with this ability, up to a number of hit points equal to 3x your biologist level. These points can be split up over multiple uses and multiple recipients. you can diagnose an illness you have, but you cannot heal yourself with this ability.
Concoct: By this level, you have studied your devoted type extensively. You gain one of the following abilities based on what you are devoted to. Unless otherwise stated, you have a +10 competence bnus on the involved alchemy checks.
Reptilians: You can take any part of any reptilian creature, and duplicate some of it's abilities;
Potion of scale-skin: As long as there are scales, you can make a Potion of Scale-Skin without problem. It requires an alchemy check of 20. This potion improves the natural armor of a creature by 4 points for 3 hours.
Snake's Venom Potion: Any part of a snake, and you've got this potion without a hitch. It requires a DC 15 alchemy check. When consumed, this potion gives the imbiber a bite attack based on his size Tiny(and smaller) users gain a bite attack of 1d3 damage, small users get 1D4, medium get 1D6, large get 1D8, huge 2d6, Gargantuan get 2D8, and Colossal get a bite of 2D10. Regardless of size, the granted poison is the same. It requires a fortitude save of 20+ the drinker's constitution modifier, and it does D4 constitution and dexterity damage.
Undead: Powdered bones, (fresh?) rotting flesh, and ectoplasm. All common undead-based materials. Any of these materials can be used in the making of these potions;
Potion of Incorporeality: This potion requires ectoplasm, or something else from an incorporeal undead. This potion, when drunk, makes the drinker(and her equipment) incorporeal, much like the spell gaseous form, except they still retain their shape. While in this form, the drinker can not attack, or be harmed except my magical means. Silver weapons do not harm her. This effect lasts for 5 minutes. making this potion requires a alchemy check at DC 30.
Potion of Gauntness: This potion requires either flesh from an undead creature, or powder or marrow from an undead creature's bones. When this potion is consumed, your organs, and your flesh quickly wither, leaving you looking like a skeleton. This effect lasts for 10 minutes. No undead will attack you, unless they decide to (for intelligent undead) or are directly ordered to(unintelligent undead). Creating this potion requires a alchemy check of DC 15.
Lycanthropes: Fur or skin from a lycanthrope, a heart, perhaps, these things may seem odd, but they are very powerful, when made correctly.
Cure Lycanthropy: Making this potion requires a heart from the type of lycanthrope you hope to cure with it. When consumed, the potion has a 75% chance to cure the drinker, -1% for every year the drinker has had lycanthropy (minimum 10%) Making this potion requires an alchemy check of DC 20.
Lycanthropic Resistance: This potion requires either skin or fur from a lycanthrope. Drinking this potion makes you grow a blueish silver coat of fur, which protects you from cold. This potion gives the imbiber resistance to cold 5 for 20 rounds, upon which time the fur quickly falls out (taking 2 rounds) Making his potion requires an alchemy check of 20
Celestial: The purest being in existence, celestials are good personified. Any part of a celestial can be used for some purpose or another. Unless otherwise stated, a drinker must be of good alignment to use a celestial potion.
Potion of Flight: A feather from a celestial's wings can be used in alchemical fluids, giving the drinker powers of flight - through the giant eagle's wings that sprout from his back. This potion grants the drinker a fly speed of 50 feet, with good maneuverability. This effect lasts 5 hours. Creating this potion requires an alchemy check of DC 25. If the materials were aquired without harming a celestial, you get an additional +5 on you alchemy check.
Salve of Regeneration: Skin or organs from a celestial creature can be made into a thick oil, with remarkable properties. This salve grants anyone who uses it (must be good or neutral) fast healing 5 for the rest of the day, until midnight. This makes just after midnight the best time to apply it. One piece of flesh, or one small organ makes enough for 5 applications. This salve requires an alchemy check of DC 30 to make. If the materials were aquired without harming a celestial, you get an additional +5 on you alchemy check.
Nightmare's Bane: This fluid, sadly, requires the heart of a celestial creature to make. When properly used, the heart can be made into a oily substance that is perfectly clear, and perfectly still, no matter how the wind blows over it. When a weapon is coated in this, the weapon gains the ability to smite evil. Any time this weapon strikes an evil creature, smite evil, as the ability, of a 12th level paladin activates. A paladin can use his smite ability in conjunction with this. This effect is permanent. Making this fluid requires an alchemy check of DC 35. If the heart was gathered without harming a celestial creature, you can an additional +10 on this check.

Snake's Venom Potion: Any part of a snake, and you've got this potion without a hitch. It requires a DC 15 alchemy check. When consumed, this potion gives the imbiber a bite attack based on his size Tiny(and smaller) users gain a bite attack of 1d3 damage, small users get 1D4, medium get 1D6, large get 1D8, huge 2d6, Gargantuan get 2D8, and Colossal get a bite of 2D10. Regardless of size, the granted poison is the same. It requires a fortitude save of 20+ the drinker's constitution modifier, and it does D4 constitution and dexterity damage.
Undead: Powdered bones, (fresh?) rotting flesh, and ectoplasm. All common undead-based materials. Any of these materials can be used in the making of these potions;
Potion of Incorporeality: This potion requires ectoplasm, or something else from an incorporeal undead. This potion, when drunk, makes the drinker(and her equipment) incorporeal, much like the spell gaseous form, except they still retain their shape. While in this form, the drinker can not attack, or be harmed except my magical means. Silver weapons do not harm her. This effect lasts for 5 minutes. making this potion requires a alchemy check at DC 30.
Potion of Gauntness: This potion requires either flesh from an undead creature, or powder or marrow from an undead creature's bones. When this potion is consumed, your organs, and your flesh quickly wither, leaving you looking like a skeleton. This effect lasts for 10 minutes. No undead will attack you, unless they decide to (for intelligent undead) or are directly ordered to(unintelligent undead). Creating this potion requires a alchemy check of DC 15.
Lycanthropes: Fur or skin from a lycanthrope, a heart, perhaps, these things may seem odd, but they are very powerful, when made correctly.
Cure Lycanthropy: Making this potion requires a heart from the type of lycanthrope you hope to cure with it. When consumed, the potion has a 75% chance to cure the drinker, -1% for every year the drinker has had lycanthropy (minimum 10%) Making this potion requires an alchemy check of DC 20.
Lycanthropic Resistance: This potion requires either skin or fur from a lycanthrope. Drinking this potion makes you grow a blueish silver coat of fur, which protects you from cold. This potion gives the imbiber resistance to cold 5 for 20 rounds, upon which time the fur quickly falls out (taking 2 rounds) Making his potion requires an alchemy check of 20
Celestial: The purest being in existence, celestials are good personified. Any part of a celestial can be used for some purpose or another. Unless otherwise stated, a drinker must be of good alignment to use a celestial potion.
Potion of Flight: A feather from a celestial's wings can be used in alchemical fluids, giving the drinker powers of flight - through the giant eagle's wings that sprout from his back. This potion grants the drinker a fly speed of 50 feet, with good maneuverability. This effect lasts 5 hours. Creating this potion requires an alchemy check of DC 25. If the materials were aquired without harming a celestial, you get an additional +5 on you alchemy check.
Salve of Regeneration: Skin or organs from a celestial creature can be made into a thick oil, with remarkable properties. This salve grants anyone who uses it (must be good or neutral) fast healing 5 for the rest of the day, until midnight. This makes just after midnight the best time to apply it. One piece of flesh, or one small organ makes enough for 5 applications. This salve requires an alchemy check of DC 30 to make. If the materials were aquired without harming a celestial, you get an additional +5 on you alchemy check.
Nightmare's Bane: This fluid, sadly, requires the heart of a celestial creature to make. When properly used, the heart can be made into a oily substance that is perfectly clear, and perfectly still, no matter how the wind blows over it. When a weapon is coated in this, the weapon gains the ability to smite evil. Any time this weapon strikes an evil creature, smite evil, as the ability, of a 12th level paladin activates. A paladin can use his smite ability in conjunction with this. This effect is permanent. Making this fluid requires an alchemy check of DC 35. If the heart was gathered without harming a celestial creature, you can an additional +10 on this check.

i envented two whole new classes for 4ed
the two classes are called Nature Caller, and Spirit Caller
nature caller is basically a mixture of bard and druid. its spells are cast in the form of songs and there are two buils for this class
-Beast Talker
-Plant Singer
both build's powers come from the environment, and this is somewhat limiting in places like the underdark and sometimes indoors, but they are not entirely magically dependent, and often have companions, and one thing that i have thought of to make up for such limitations is the ability to make enchanted weapons. For instance a plant singer is almost useless in a lot of places but carries a rose around which he sings to and turns it into a whip, staff, sword, ect.
my favorite character of mine that i have used for one of these classes is
Beorn, the cave-bear lycanthrope beast talker. He uses a greataxe as his weapon in his human form, and when he polymorphs as an at-will power, he turns into a normal cave bear, not losing any equipment, but not being able to use any either, and speaking only in deep-speech, and retains all of his normal intelligence.
Spirit caller is basically a mix between warlocks and bards, and i will admit that im not quite finished making this class, but i have two builds set up for it
their power source is obviously derived from the deceased and other spirits, this even grants them combat advantages against any spirit they are fighting, or anything thats posessed by a spirit.
-Medium
-Shade
medium is basically the spiritual equivaent of beast talker
and shade is nowhere near finished, but just a concept

Soul Seekers appear in many ways like one would picture the Grim Reaper. It is a flying, hooded and black creature with indistinguishable features. It carries with it a magical scythe made of the bones of a hundred different creatures. It's appearance, while frightening, masks the true nature of the being as a lesser devil.
Soul Seekers appear only in the material plane if an extremely evil (and powerful) being is about to die. Upon appearing, the Soul Seeker offers an exchange - Servitude to the Soul Seeker's master, or death. If the being chooses the former choice, the creature uses it's Ranimation ability to return the creature to a state of unlife, with the same statistics as it had in life, with all the strengths of undeath. The being is under the total control of the Soul Seeker's Devil master.
****
In combat, a Soul Seeker always employs the spell Greater Invisibility at the beginning of a conflict, it's ability to fly making this especially lethal. With this finished, the Soul Seeker can spellcast with offensive magic as if it were a 10th level Wizard. A Soul Seeker may know spells from any magic school, but Evocation and Necromancy are the most common.
If spellcasting seems a poor choice, the Seeker will employ melee attacks, usually focusing on other spellcasters before facing heavily armored opponents. It always tries to aim at it's opponent's neck to utilize it's scythe's Reaping ability. If the battle turns against it, it will attempt to escape via a Gate spell to it's home plane.
Draining Touch: Instead of attacking with a melee attack, a Soul Seeker may instead use it's dreaded touch attack with the same Base Attack Bonus as it's scythe. A successful touch deals 1d8+8 damage and drains 1d4+1 constitution points of damage. Someone who's constitution drops to zero dies and rises as a zombie in 1d12 rounds. A successful Fortitude save (DC 24) negates the constitution damage.
Devil Tongue: A Soul Seeker may utilize it's voice as a weapon. At will, a Soul Seeker may trace it's voice with magic, carrying the same effect as Charm Person on all nearby humanoids, or Charm Monster on all non-humanoids within hearing distance. Victims must make a Willpower save (DC 20) or fall under the Soul Seeker's sway. Someone who saves cannot be effected by the same Soul Seeker again.
Reaping: The scythe of a Soul Seeker is enchanted with terrible magics. A Soul Seeker who critically strikes a target beheads them, instantly killing them.
Reanimation: The Soul Seeker uses this ability on evil creatures who have agreed to serve their masters. By using this ability, the creature in question is instantly slain by the powerful necromantic energies and instantly rises as an undead. The undead retains all magic spells, abilities, feats and skills as they did in life, but now has all the immunities of the undead - and their weaknesses.
A reanimated creature has no will of it's own, though it can display great amounts of intelligence as it had in life. They are much akin to liches, but are controlled by the Soul Seeker's Devil lord.
Immunities: A soul seeker is immune to normal and silver weaponry, magical weapons below +2 enchantment, spells below 3rd level and fire.
Flight: Soul Seekers have no legs, and thus move by pure will. This allows them to move at rate of 60 ft. in all directions. Anti-magical effects cannot stop this ability. Flight requires no concentration checks from damage.
