....Its been too long..
Update!
Hey guys, been awhile. Some issues came up with my life that I needed to take care of. So I noticed that Sonamancers, using their skill of being an ultimate siege weapon..don't get sundering on their primary attack, Mach 10. This..was a problem. So I fixed it! At level 3 sonamancers may use their Mach 10 as a sunder attack, and at level 6 they acquire the improved sunder feat, even if they do not meet the prerequisites.
Also, due to no sonic damage feats, I decided to allow the feats Extra Talent, and any feat that applies to a ranged attack, apply to Mach 10.
HD: D8 as chemist
Saves High Fort/Reflex as chemist
Base attack Bonus: as chemist
4+int skills
Class Skills:
Acrobatics, Diplomacy, Perception, Use Magic Device, Profession, Craft, Linguistics, Sense Motive
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Sonamancers are proficient with all simple weapons, and instruments, and when an instrument is wielded by a Sonamancer, all enhancements of an instrument is applied to the Mach 10. Sonamancers are only proficient with cloth armor, and no shields.
(Instruments are exotic two handed weapons, deal a 1d6, critical on a natural 20, and deal x2 critical modifier.)
(Limit Break)
Perfect Pitch
For 1 round plus 1 level per four sonamancer levels, the sonamancer is capable of utilizing mach 10 as a standard action, and adds 1 to her dc's. This requires a swift action to activate.
Sincere Rumore
The sonamancer releases a giant, burst of energy as a desperation effort. All enemies, and all objects, take 2d6, and an additional 2d6 per four class levels. All enemies are pushed back, until they are pushed out of the thirty foot radius. If any glass, porcelain, crystal, or fragile objects are in the area, they are destroyed. The push back is a DC 10 +1/2 class level + charisma modifier. This limit break requires a full round action to activate.
Mach 10:
At first level a sonamancer is capable of releasing a sound blast as a full round action. At level 1 it deals 2d6+Cha Mod Sonic Damage. This is a spell like ability with a range of 60 feet. This damage increases by two dice every four levels (Aka to 4d6 6d6 and so on), this is a spell like ability that is a ranged touch attack.
At 5th level Mach 10 has a five foot knockback against medium or smaller creatures, and may be used as a ranged sunder.
At 9th level the knockback increases to 10 ft, and must make a Dc of 10+1/2 CL + cha reflex save or fall prone
At 13th level the knockback increases to 15 ft, and may affect large or smaller creatures.
At 17th level, the knockback increases to 20ft.
Sona Familiarity
Also at first level, the sonamancer gains a specialized type of magic pool known as sona. The sonamancers pool is equal to their class level, plus their charisma modifier. The sonamancer gains talents every odd level (past the first)(shown at bottom of class page) to enhance her sonamancer abilities, these talents use your sonapool. They may also spend 1 sona point to grant them an additional +4 dodge bonus to AC.
Heightened Wave
In addition at first level, A sonamancer is highly trained at disrupting blows, and she has a sixth sense that lets her avoid even unanticipated attacks. When unarmored or wearing cloth armor and unencumbered, the Sonamancer adds her Charisma bonus (if any) to her AC and her CMD. In addition, a sonamancer gains a +1 bonus to AC and CMD at 4th level. This bonus increases by 1 for every four sonamancer levels thereafter, up to a maximum of +5 at 20th level. These bonuses to AC apply even against touch attacks or when the sonamancer is flat-footed. She loses these bonuses when she is immobilized or helpless, when she wears any armor besides cloth, when she carries a shield, or when she carries a medium or heavy load.
Sonic Armor
At second level, as long as you have at least one sona point in your pool you gain a +1 deflection bonus that increases by one for every four levels thereafter maximum of +5 at 18 level. Anytime the sonamancer uses an ability that deals sonic damage, this bonus is applied.
Ballista Blast
At level 3, the sonamancer may use their Mach 10 as a sunder attack, even from a range. At level 6 the sonamancer gains improved sunder as a bonus feat, even if they do no meet the prerequisites for it. When targeting any equipment with the "fragile" speciality, Mach 10 does double damage, and pentrates your class level of hardness.
Precise Sound

beginning of their next turn.
Explosive Repositioning:
At 8th level, as an immediate reaction, whenever an opponent misses an attack at you, you may release a tiny sound blast, and move five feet in one direction. This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity, and the blast deals 1d4 + Cha Mod damage. At 16th level, this ability becomes a free action, and may be used a number of times equal to your attack of your opportunities per round, but only once per enemy per round.
Sonic Shielding
At level 11 you gain a sonic resistance you gain sonic resistance equal to your class level.
Sonic Assimilation
At level 19 you gain sonic immunity, and any sonic damage that you do not control, heals you for 1/3rd the damage that would be dealt.
Ultima Sona Conversion:
At level 20 a sonamancer becomes so attuned with their body, and their sonic capabilities. They permanently gain a +2 Charisma, a sonic walk, allowing them to walk on the sound-waves in the air, and Mach 10's range is doubled and all sonamancer talents cost one less, to a minimum of zero.
