Chapter 1: Overview and History

Tyrath’s year is 360 days long and is divided into four seasons (Spring, Summer, Autumn/Harvest, and Winter) of ninety days each. The seasonal divisions are never quite exactly aligned with the calendar, but it is very, very close, at least in the temperate regions. Each season of the calendar is divided into ten nine-day weeks. Most people work six days out of the nine, taking the first, the fifth, and the ninth off. While different nations have different names for their days, the most commonly used names of the days are as follows: Dawnsday, Hopesday, Goodsday, Balanceday, Freeday, Payday, Faithsday, Tryday, Godsday. The years are numbered according to the elven dating system; hence, E.D. for Elven Date. Year One of Elven Date is the year that the War of Undeath ended. The cataclysm that ended the war created the enormous crater that is now Mothga’s Wastes and reshaped the land, isolating the Mehrune region from the areas to the west for almost eight thousand years. Events that took place prior to the War of Undeath are dated backwards; this time is referred to as the Primal Age.

There are three eras of play in Tyrath, the Golden Age, the Modern Age, and the Resuffused Age. Historians on Tyrath define the Golden Age (GA) as lasting from the end of the War of Undeath to the end of the Second Dragon War in 7631 ED, while the Modern Age (MA) ended two millennia later in 9631 ED. The Resuffused Age (RA) is still ongoing. The default era of play is the Golden Age; a future, separate work will cover the Modern and Resuffused Ages.

A brief and incomplete timeline of Tyrath follows:
Date Unknown (PA): The Gods, the planes, and inhabitants of all the planes are created.
Date Unknown (PA): Moraan directs his followers to search out ways to escape death; their early experiments create zombies and other undead creatures, which are destroyed or hidden. Later experiments result in the ability to return the dead to life, but Moraan has now come to see the intelligent undead varieties as superior, as they are no longer subject to death.
Summer 86, -116 ED (PA): Elven sea-explorers discover the Great Southern Island. One of Moraan's most powerful followers establishes a secret colony there.
Date Unkown (PA): Scitayr informs Naturan of the undead. Outraged at this perversion of the natural order, and they lay a curse upon his followers, transforming the elves into orcs, the dwarves into hobgoblins, and the gnomes into goblins. Moraan’s human followers are strangely unaffected by the Great Curse. Some of Moraan’s elven and dwarven followers escape the curse by fleeing into the Underdark, where they are enslaved by the illithids.
circa -15 ED (PA): One of the new orcs, the powerful magic-user who founded the secret colony on the Great Southern Island, takes the name Mothga and gathers the orcs to achieve Moraan's goal of a world of undead, beginning the War of Undeath. Mothga begins to build a magical device of enormous destructive power. In later ages it will be known as Mothga’s Lightning.
c. -1 ED (PA): Upon learning of Mothga’s Lightning, fully half of the elven population decides to flee rather than face such power. This act becomes known as the Great Rout and gives all elves a reputation for cowardice. The fleeing elves destroy knowledge of the location of the Great Southern Island. Forever afterwards, the descendant of the elves who fled would be known as the Craven Elves, and their home as the Isle of the Craven.
1 ED (GA): The War of Undeath ends with the defeat of Mothga the Terrible. Mothga’s Lightning is destroyed and its parts lost. Due to a psychic build-up of fear, the destruction of Mothga’s Lightning unleashes a Vril, a devastating psionic explosion that creates Mothga’s Wastes and leeches psionic potential from people born in the region for millennia to come.
17 ED (GA): The chromatic dragons begin wreaking havoc and conquering humanoid nations. The blue dragons of Mothga’s Wastes begin breeding bugbears and trolls. To protect the humanoids still free of the chromatic dragons' tyranny, the metallic dragons appoint themselves the protectors of some humanoid nations and over time become the rulers of those nations. A long period of tension begins as the dragons plot and scheme against each other.
2139-2145 ED (GA): The First Dragonwar occurs when the chromatic dragons and their minions attack the other lands, which are protected by the metallic dragons. The horrific destruction caused by the warring dragons spurs a group of artificers to create the Orbs of Dragonkind, which are then used to end the Dragonwar. The Orbs are then scattered across the lands, hidden in isolated locations, and protected by powerful wards.
2146 ED (GA): The dragons, faced with the threat of the Orbs and the dragonslaying bands roaming the world, retreat into the wilderness and seclude themselves from the humanoid races, who immediately begin squabbling with each other.
((Big empty space that needs to be filled #1))
5937 ED (GA): The High Seer Palanya, a priestess of Scitayr, prophesizes the coming of the Child of Passion.
((Big empty space that needs to be filled #2))
7060 ED (GA): King Gehran XI of the Royal House of Mehrune dies childless, leaving the succession in doubt. Internal strife fractures the human Great Kingdom of Mehrune. Refugees fleeing the bloody civil war found Enkidu City and establish a democratic republic.
7071 ED (GA): Enkiduan soldiers help the nearby dwarven mine of Krafdheubh fend off an attack from Neo-Penumbra. In gratitude, Krafdheubh pledges its loyalty to the Enkiduan government. The Kingdom of Mehrune splits into three pieces: the Duchy of Mehrune in the north and northeast, the Principality of Mehrune in the southwest, and the Southern Kingdom in the east and southeast.
7382 ED (GA): The orc war chieftain Hrak Nam rallies the disparate, squabbling orc tribes of Mothga's Wastes into a cohesive whole for the first time since the War of Undeath. It is rumored that Hrak Nam is a descendant of Mothga the Terrible.
7384 ED (GA): Hrak Nam begins a war against the elves and Enkidu.
7387 ED (GA): Hrak Nam is defeated and his armies shattered. He and the remnants of his forces limp back into the Wastes.
7576 ED (GA): Larh Nam, a half-orc descendant of Hrak Nam, is seduced by the succubus Hulnathia. Hulnathia gives birth to a son, whom they name Xarakh.
7583 ED (GA): Larh Nam is killed by adventurers. Hulnathia takes the seven-year-old Xarakh Nam from the Material Plane and brings him to her home in the Abyss. After an early life of being respected and feared as the chieftains son and a half-fiend, the experience of being ridiculed and beaten by his many half-siblings for being half-mortal makes an indelible impression on young Xarakh. He vows that he will one day make all beings throughout all the planes fear his name.
7591 ED (GA): Xarakh Nam returns to the Material Plane at the age of 15 and is rejected by his former tribe because he has no fighting skills. Appalled by the stupidity of purebred orcs, Xarakh gathers a group of half-orcs under his banner, returns to his tribe and kills the chieftain in single combat with his arcane power.
7591-7603 ED (GA): Xarakh Nam unifies the orc and human tribes of Mothga's Wastes and gathers many allies and pawns. He also invents a new kind of construct which he names the Zhamachs. The Zhamachs are unparalleled in reaction time. They are less strong than other constructs, but are built with force-based magical abilities which make them highly formidable.
7597 ED (GA): The ruler of Enkidu, Elector Cordell, retires, and Jiro Kimura, brother-in-law to the head of the wealthy and powerful mercantile House Zohar, is elected.
7603 ED (GA):
***Spring: In Krafdheubh, a gnome inventor from House Marionette, a gnomish mercantile house, invents a new ranged weapon which uses the detonation of explosive powder to propel a metal ball at great speeds from a metal tube. The gnome calls his invention the blaster. Xarakh Nam sets his plans for universal domination into motion, capturing Krafdheubh. Refugees from the dwarven mining city flee to Enkidu City.
******70: Jujiro Nakaza and Karanette Zekk of the Seven are married, as are Kenji X and Mariko Hitomi of the Seven.
***Summer: The Yuan-ti Empire declares a holy war against all non-Yuan-ti surface-dwellers and conquers the lands of the former Great Kingdom. The Duke of Mehrune flees to Enkidu City. The head of House Zohar, Jiro Kimura’s brother-in-law, becomes a vampire and bites Jiro Kimura. The Seven destroy Zohar and perform a holy ritual before Kimura’s transformation is complete, making him a good-aligned vampire. Immediately a controversy starts over the fact that the Electorship is held for life and the fact that vampires do not die. Kimura puts the debate to rest by promising to resign in five years. Lady Ariaj arrives in Enkidu City as an ambassador from Xarakh Nam. As a gift and a sign of goodwill, she presents the Elector with a life-size statue of the city’s founder, the half-elf Aeslan Enkidu. There is a failed assassination attempt on Elector Kimura, after Lady Ariaj later leaves the city.
******65: Nintari Goju and Kamoko, the nymph, both of the Seven, are married.
***Harvest
******44: Xarakh Nam's army, commanded by Lady Ariaj, marches on Enkidu City; the Battle of Enkidu City begins.
******45: The Gods Maleth and Moraan appear on the battlefield to aid the orcs and trolls.
******46: The Three Goddesses and Solaan appear in the city and spearhead and all-or-nothing attack. The orcs and trolls are routed.
******46-52: The Enkiduan Army pursues the orcs to Krafdheubh over six days of marching. The orc-held dwarven city is besieged by the Enkiduan forces for 19 days until the Seven assassinate Lady Ariaj and open the city gates for the army.
******69: Iames and his siblings, a set of triplets, are born in a nomad camp near Mothga’s Tomb.
******71: The Seven journey into Mothga's Wastes to the small volcano, Mothga’s Tomb, where Xarakh Nam is overseeing the addition of the salvaged and rebuilt Mothga’s Lightning to his floating castle, Fortress Tanagr. Xarakh Nam is defeated utterly by the Seven and Mothga's Lightning destroyed. Xarakh Nam's body is destroyed, but his spirit flees to the spare body he grew in case of just such an eventuality.
******72: Prompted by a dream had by Karanette, Nintari and Kamoko Goju journey into Mothga's Wastes, find an infant in the ruins of the nomad camp, and bring him back to Enkidu, where he is adopted by the Osari family and named Iames.
******74: House Marionette and House Raysson begin to study the remains of Zhamachs destroyed by the Seven in Krafdheubh.
***Winter
******3: The Seven found a school for adventurers called the Seven Paths to Power Academy, and a bank called the Dragon's Hoard Bank. The gnome who invented the blaster makes a refinement to the design, introducing the rifled blaster.
******16: Elector Kimura negotiates a military alliance with the elven nation of Akashakyo.
******30: Elector Kimura orders a preemptive invasion of the former Principality of Mehrune. House Marionette and House Raysson succeed in building their own version of the Zhamachs, which they christen Sentinels. The project is revealed to Elector Kimura, and the government is presented with a 15-construct squad to use as part of the Elector’s security force.
******31: Kimura commissions the two Houses to design and create a construct soldier to augment Enkidu’s existing Army. House Marionette secures a patent for the blaster and rifled blaster and continues joint experiments in construct design with House Raysson.
******62: The first creation forge is built by a team of Raysson and Marionette artificers.
******87: Kira and Kael Nakaza are born to Karaniko and Jujiro Nakaza. Kira is older by five minutes and 32 seconds.
******90: The first battalion of construct soldiers, called Battle Automatons, is delivered.
7603-7618 ED (GA): The Yuan-ti War occurs. Xarakh Nam quietly reaffirms his old alliances and forges new ones. Among these pacts is a deal made with Moraan, God of Undeath, to gain immortality in exchange for a legion of undead creatures. As a result of this deal, Xarakh Nam becomes a vampire.
7604 ED (GA): The Raysson-Marionette Battle Automatons prove their worth in the recapture of the Duchy of Mehrune’s capital city. However, the priests of Scitayr and Naturan are unsettled. They tell Houses Raysson and Marionette that the deaths of living beings on so large a scale by soulless constructs is disturbing the balance of the planes. To remedy the situation, the construct soldiers must be made in such a way that Scitayr and Naturan can infuse them with life. Houses Marionette and Raysson do what they can, designing greater and greater levels of intelligence into each successive model of Battle Automaton. At the same time, Yuan-ti are demonstrating the advantages their dinosaur-mounted cavalry and dragoons give them in Mehrune’s open plains, putting pressure on Houses Raysson and Marionette to develop some sort of cavalry unit. The first of the barely-sentient Battle Automaton Mk. IIs emerge from the creation forges. The premises of Seven Paths to Power Academy for Adventurers and Dragons Hoard Bank are completed.
***Spring 1: Aerin Hitomi is born to Kenji and Mariko Hitomi.
7605 ED (GA): The lands of the former Principality of Mehrune are under the control of the Mehrune Alliance. Another campaign is launched to liberate the former Duchy of Mehrune to the north. At the end of the year, Houses Raysson and Marionette unveil the Battle Automaton Mk. III, which is marginally more sentient than the Mk. II.
7606 ED (GA): The bloody campaign to free the Duchy of Mehrune from the heel of the Yuan-ti and their lizardfolk footsoldiers continues for most of the year, succeeding just as Winter begins to take hold. Duke Perreth Oenomel is reinstalled as the country’s leader, and he promptly formally joins the Mehrune Alliance, which now consists of three nations: Akashakyo, Enkidu, and the Duchy of Mehrune. The new Raysson-Marionette cavalry unit, the Warforged Mobilipede, is sent to the front, were it is quickly accepted and nicknamed “Mopede”. The Mk. IV Battle Automaton makes its first appearance. It is more intelligent than its predecessors. The Yuan-ti fortify and reinforce their remaining territory.
7607 ED (GA): Vicious Yuan-ti counter-offensives once again conquer the Principality and the eastern half of the Duchy, making fearsome use of their tyrannosaur battle-platforms. The Mk. V Battle Automaton is rushed into production as a result, but all efforts to oust the Yuan-ti before they can become entrenched fail.
7608 ED (GA): True to his word, Jiro Kimura resigns from the Electorship in Spring. His successor is Nishiko Mifune, the first female Elector ever to be elected. Mifune’s first act of office is to unilaterally send teams of House Raysson and House Marionette artificers into Mothga’s Wastes to restore Fortress Tanagr. Xarakh Nam decides not to present them with any organized threats, realizing that impatience was the cause of his first downfall and now content to wait and watch. House Marionette engineers perfect a mass-production system for the blaster, but when the artificers of neither House Raysson nor House Marionette are able to produce sufficient quantities of the firearms, House Kimura, formerly House Zohar, offers to fill the shortage. The Mk. VI Battle Automaton and the Warforged Titan, Enkidu’s answer to the Yuan-ti tyrannosaurs, are revealed. The Titan project completed, the Raysson-Marionette research and development teams turn to the design of a construct soldier which will be customizable from a basic version to fill a variety of roles in the army.
7609 ED (GA): The Yuan-ti are once again driven from the Principality. Alliance soldiers are rotated through blaster training in the use of the blaster, and the war settles into an uneasy stalemate, both sides digging in and fortifying their trenches. The Yuan-ti secretly prepare for a massive offensive campaign.
7610 ED (GA): The Yuan-ti offensive takes the Mehrune Alliance completely by surprise as they first sweep through the Principality for a third time, then begin pushing north into the Duchy of Mehrune along the Shield Hills. Unfortunately for the Alliance, the assault from the Shield Hills is only a feint; as troops are withdrawn from the eastern front, the real Yuan-ti offensive rolls over the reduced defenses and begins moving toward the Duchy’s capital city. The elven king personally leads a contingent of Alliance soldiers and is killed in the fighting. The customizable construct project, known as the Warforged Mutable, proves to be more complex than originally anticipated, and production is postponed for a year.
7611 ED (GA): The Yuan-ti once again have control of the entire eastern peninsula, and Duke Perreth Oenomel is killed fleeing the capital city. His younger sister Rosan escapes, however, and forms a government-in-exile. Fortress Tanagr is halfway restored, and Mothga’s Lightning completely restored, though not empowered by the requisite blood of twin infants. From the Marionette-Raysson creation forges emerges the first of the Warforged Mutables, number L-000A. Unbeknownst to the R&D teams, the very nature and complexity of the Mutables meant that Scitayr and Naturan were able to infuse them with lives and souls of their own, creating an entirely new race. L-000A is named Spatha, and it is decided to drop the Mutables portion of the project name; henceforth, Spatha and his brethren shall be known simply as Warforged.
7612-7617 ED (GA): After undergoing training as a soldier, Spatha leads 99 other Warforged into fierce battle in the Principality; he alone survives. His organic superiors, not grasping the idea that the new Warforged are sentient beings who can feel pain, loss, and grief, ignore his struggles with these emotions and immediately order him back into battle with another 99 Warforged. Over the course of battle after battle, campaign after campaign, Spatha grows to hate his organic superiors as he watches them spend Warforged lives as if they were nothing. He sees them grieve for organic soldiers, but not for Warforged, and his hatred festers.
7618 ED (GA): Fortress Tanagr is finally completely restored. When Elector Mifune reveals this to her fellow heads of state, King Norikazu of the elves is shocked and enraged by the depth of human folly and quits the Alliance in protest. Under the threat of Mothga’s Lightning, the Yuan-ti are forced to sign a treaty and give up all claims to any lands belonging to Enkidu, the Duchy of Mehrune, the Southern Kingdom, Akashakyo, and the Principality of Mehrune. As part of this Treaty, signed in the town of Queme, the Principality, leaderless as a result of the war, becomes part of Enkidu. Houses Marionette and Raysson are instructed to shut down the production of Warforged, Warforged Titans, Warforged Mobilipedes, and Battle Automatons, and the Warforged are granted the full rights of sentient beings. The head of House Raysson, refusing to comply with the decree to stop production, flees to Vaynai, bringing a creation forge with him. Most of House Raysson relocates to Vaynai. The army of Warforged serving Enkidu is given the option of disbanding or enlisting as an organic being might. Half of them choose to enlist; Spatha leads a quarter of the former army to one of the Chain Islands, where he takes over, renames himself Lord of Chains, and begins preaching against what he calls the weak, fleshy races in favor of Warforged. He sends agents to steal the plans for a creation forge from House Marionette, and begins constructing one on the Isle of Broken Chains, as he calls his island stronghold.
7621-7631 ED (GA): Xarakh Nam makes another bid for power and achieves godhood, then conquers the Mehrune region before being overthrown and imprisoned by the Seven's offsrping, their friends, and the Child of Passion.
7632-9631 ED (MA): The Modern Age of Tyrath, during which the deeper, more potent flows of planar energy are diverted to the maintenance of Xarakh Nam’s imprisonment.
9632+ ED (RA): The Resuffused Age begins with the release of Xarakh Nam from His crystalline prison.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Chapter 2: Races and Subraces
All the racial variants described here replace the standard variety of the race as described in the PHB or the ECS, with the exception of city gnomes and complacent humans. City gnomes, hill (standard) gnomes, complacent humans and standard humans exist in Tyrath. Oh, and halflings do not exist in Tyrath.

City Gnomes
Generations after gnomes first moved into the cities of the big folk, they found their talents with illusions and connection to the earth fading. To compensate for that loss, the city-dwelling gnomes threw themselves into honing their already impressive mechanical skills. The gnomes of the cities are now master tinkerers and inventors.

City gnomes lose the following abilities from the PHB:
Bonus to saves against illusions.
+1 to the DC to all illusion spells cast by gnomes.
+1 racial bonus to attack rolls against kobolds and goblinoids.
+4 dodge bonus against creatures of the giant type.
All spell-like abilities.City gnomes gain or change the following abilities:
Alertness: City gnomes gain the Alertness feat for free at first level. No longer able to tell instinctually what is real and what is an illusion, city gnomes sharpen their already acute senses.
+2 racial bonus on Craft, Disable Device, and Open Lock checks: city gnome technological prowess far outstrips any other races, as they have an innate understanding of all things mechanical.
Jury-Rig (Ex): 2/day as a full-round action, a city gnome may make a Craft (locksmithing) check against DC 15 to create a jury-rigged clockwork gadget out of a lock and whatever is handy. This gadget can have a variety of effects, depending on what it is made of; for example, it could be made into a timer that strikes a tindertwig to light a smokestick or a puddle of oil. The time delay is dependent on the complexity of the lock used. A gadget can incorporate a time delay of up to a number of rounds equal to the city gnome’s Intelligence modifier + 5 for a simple lock, 10 for an average lock, 15 for a superior lock, and 20 for an amazing lock. A city gnome can use this ability an extra number of times per day equal to half his Intelligence modifier, rounded down, as long as he has a lock.
Favored Class: Rogue or Artificer. At first level, a city gnome chooses either the rogue class or the artificer class as his favored class. The city gnome’s favored class does not change thereafter. A multiclass city gnomes rogue (or artificer) class levels do not count when determining whether or not he takes an experience point penalty for multiclassing. The rogue (or artificer) class presents many more opportunities for city gnomes to put their newly honed knowledge of mechanical devices to work.Complacent Humans
In their minds, the humans have won. The frontiers have been explored, the wilds tamed, and every perceived enemy defeated. With their peaceful cities expanding and the wealth of the world’s farthest reaches flowing eagerly in, the pinnacles of human achievement have been reached. Decadence and complacency are swift to take root in the human soul. Confident in the power they hold and the riches theyve earned, human civilization shifts, resting on its laurels rather than fighting to protect what it has. This decadence leads to some great advances, since money not only buys luxury, but fine education in both physical and mental pursuits. However, these scholars and athletes lack the drive of their predecessors and accomplish much only because of the advantages their situation gives them, not because of their own excellence.

Complacent humans lose the following abilities from the PHB:
Bonus feat at 1st level.
Bonus skill points at 1st level and subsequent levels.Complacent humans gain or change the following abilities:
+2 racial bonus to any one ability score. Complacent humans are known to train their bodies for sport and beauty, or their minds for intellectual debate, but they no longer care much for the real world applications of their abilities. Thus they tend to be talented, but not particularly accomplished.
Favored Class: Bard. A multiclass complacent human’s bard class does not count when determining whether or not he takes an experience point penalty for multiclassing. With a definite preference for style over substance, complacent humans make skilled but uncommitted bards.Dark Elves
The dark elves of Tyrath are the descendants of those elves who fled underground to escape the Great Curse and fell under the thrall of the illithids. Dark elves have adapted to years of living underground, becoming shorter than above-ground elves. They thus use the standard elven height and weight tables.

Dark elves lose the following abilities from the MM:
All spell-like abilities.Dark elves gain or change the following abilities:
Weapon Proficiency: Dark elves automatically gain the Martial Weapon Proficiency feat for the rapier and shortsword. This ability replaces the weapon proficencies listed in the MM.
Weapon Familiarity: Dark elves wield the Penumbran spear (see Chapter 6) as a martial weapon.
Psi-like Abilities: 1/day – control light, eradicate invisibility. The manifester level for these effects is equal to the dark elf’s number of Vitality Dice.Dwarves
The dwarves of Tyrath are the offspring of the deities Vala, whom they call Bella, and Valdersaan, and their personalities fall between those of their divine parents. Most of the time, dwarves are stoic, enduring and persevering through hardship as would their father, Valdersaan. But deep in their souls, Bella’s flame still burns fiercely. Though slow to anger, dwarves when roused are capable of mighty rages.

Dwarves lose the following abilities from the PHB:
+4 dodge bonus to Armor Class against creatures of the giant type.Dwarves gain or change the following abilities:
+1 racial bonus to attack rolls against dark elves and duergar. Dwarves are trained in the special combat techniques that allow them to fight their common enemies more effectively. This ability replaces the bonus against orcs and goblinoids.
Rage: 1/day, a dwarf can enter a state of powerful rage. This ability is identical to the barbarian class ability of the same name. A 1st-level dwarf barbarian can rage 2/day, once from his race and once from his class. A dwarf barbarian’s racial rage ability improves along with his class ability.Elves
Like the dwarves, the elves trace their race back to the Gods of Tyrath - Solaan, in their case. Through his music, Solaan awakened the first female elf from animalism and took her as his wife, thus giving rise to the elven race. Elves in Tyrath are taller than humans, and thus they and half-elves use the half-orc height tables and the human weight tables found in the PHB instead of the normal elf and half-elf tables. Elves in Tyrath come in two varieties, common and noble. Common elves are the elves in the PHB, while the noble elves are as the gray elves described in the MM.

Both common and noble elves change the following ability:
Weapon Proficiency: Elves gain the Martial Weapon Proficiency feats for the longsword, scimitar, longbow (including composite longbow), and shortbow (including composite shortbow) as bonus feats. Elves esteem the arts of archery and graceful swordplay, so all elves are familiar with these weapons. This ability replaces the weapon proficiencies listed in the PHB.Warforged
The word “Warforged” is always capitalized because it is a registered trademark of House Marionette. (House Raysson got Battle Automaton.) As per the Treaty of Queme, the Warforged themselves are permitted to use it free of charge in whatever way they like, and use of the term in casual conversation by anyone carries no legal implications. Warforged typically name themselves after objects that they work with often, usually (not always) one that reflects their occupation. In addition to this self-given name, almost every Warforged has an alphanumeric designation, such as N-072A. That designator indicates that that Warforged was produced in 7613, was the 73rd out of 1000 Warforged (the first unit in a set of 1000 was designated 000), and has adamantine-laced composite plating (the Adamantine Body feat). Warforged who start out with levels in the barbarian class receive the B designator, for berserker, while Warforged with the Mithral Body and Adamantine Body feats receive the designators M and A, respectively. (Warforged with other Body feats were not produced during the legal run of 7611-7618, and only the legally-produced Warforged have designators.) Out of every set of 1000, one tenth were laced with adamantine, another tenth with mithral, and another tenth were built with berserking capability; the other seven hundred Warforged were standard. The legally produced Warforged, those produced in the years from 7611 to 7618, have initial letters ranging from L to V depending on the year of their creation, as follows: L = 7611 ED; M = 7612 ED; N = 7613 ED; O = 7614 ED; P = 7615 ED; Q = 7615 ED; R = 7616 ED; S = 7616 ED; T = 7617 ED; U = 7617 ED; V = 7618 ED. Because of this numbering system, it is advised that the DM keep track of the Warforged designations he has used in order to avoid having two with the same designation. Warforged that have been produced illegally, whether by House Raysson on Vaynai or by the Lord of Chains in the Chain Islands, have no alphanumerical designations.

Warforged change the following ability:
Composite Plating: The plating used to build a warforged provides DR 2/adamantine. This plating does not stack with other effects that grant DR, unlike most DR gained as a racial trait. This composite plating occupies the same space on the body as a suit of armor or a robe, and thus a Warforged cannot wear armor or magic robes. Warforged can be enchanted just as armor can be. The character must be present for the entire time it takes to enchant it. Composite plating also provides a Warforged with a 5% arcane spell failure chance, similar to the penalty for wearing light armor. Any class ability that allows a Warforged to ignore the arcane spell failure chance for light armor lets it ignore this penalty as well. A Warforged with the Mithral Body feat has DR 5/adamantine, and a Warforged with the Adamantine Body feat has DR 10/adamantine.

Defense bonuses apply to one's normal and flat-footed AC, but not to one's touch AC. The Monk and the Psychic Monk receive the AC bonus granted by their class ability as well as the one listed on the above table. When multiclassing between PC classes, add the Defense bonuses from each class together and subtract 2, unless your new class shares a progression with one of your previous classes. In that case, add your levels in those classes together to determine the Defense bonus they grant. For example, Kira is a 2nd-level rogue who wants to multiclass into cleric. Since both rogues and clerics have a "Fair" defense progression, Kira would look at the 3rd level row of the Fair column to figure out her Defense bonus.

When taking levels in a prestige class, add your prestige class levels to your levels in whichever base class you have the most levels. If you have equal levels in two or more base classes, add your prestige class levels to the class that has the best Defense progression. You do not gain Defense bonuses at epic levels.
Two important notes about spellcasters: During the Modern Age, spells that would use a slot of higher than third level cannot be cast. The exception to this rule is bardic magic. All bard spells can be cast, regardless of level.

Also, spellcasters use different ability scores in Tyrath. Charisma determines the save DC of spells for all casters (and manifesters). Bonus spells/power points per day are based on the normal ability scores, and sorcerers and bards gain bonus spells known based on their Intelligence. In order to learn and cast a spell, a character must have 10 + spell level in all applicable ability scores.

Class Features
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: As standard fighter.
Bonus Feats: As standard fighter.
Weapon Aptitude (Ex): Starting at 1st level, the Fighter has the flexibility to adjust his weapon training. He can spend 1 hour in weapon practice to change the designated weapon for any feat he has that applies only to a single weapon (such as Weapon Focus). He must have the newly designated weapon available during his practice session to make this change. For example, if he wishes to change the designated weapon for his Weapon Focus feat from greatsword to longsword, he must have a longsword available to practice with during his practice session.
He can adjust any number of his feats in this way, and he doesn't have to adjust them all in the same way. However, he can't change the weapon choices in such a way that he no longer meets the prerequisite for some other feat he possesses. For instance, if he has both Weapon Focus (longsword) and Weapon Specialization (longsword), he can't change the designated weapon for Weapon Focus unless he also changes the weapon for Weapon Specialization in the same way.
Mettle (Ex): Beginning at 3rd level, the fighter can resist magical and unusual effects with great willpower or fortitude. If he makes a succesful Will or Fortitude save against an attack that would have a lesser effect on a successful save (such as any spell with a saving throw entry of Will half or Fortitude partial), he instead completely negates the effect. An unconscious or sleeping fighter does not gain the benefit of mettle.
Deflection (Ex): At 5th level, the fighter gains the ability to deflect one ranged attack per round. This ability functions as the Deflect Arrows feat, except that the fighter does not need a free hand to use it.
Evasion (Ex): Starting at 7th level, whenever the fighter would be subject to an effect allowing him a Reflex save to take half damage, he takes no damage on a successful save.
Improved Deflection (Ex): At 9th level, a fighter's deflection ability improves; he can now deflect a number of ranged attacks equal to 1 + his Dex mod.
Improved Mettle (Ex): At 10th level, a fighter’s mettle ability improves. He still suffers no effect on a successful save, but he now takes only the lesser effect on a failed save. An unconscious or sleeping fighter does not gain the benefits of improved mettle.
Ally Deflection (Ex): Beginning at 11th level, a fighter can deflect ranged attacks that are targeting allies within his melee reach in addition to those targeting himself.
Preemptive Counterstrike (Ex): Beginning at 11th level, when attacked, a fighter may once per round make an attack of opportunity against an opponent who attacks him. This attack of opportunity takes place after the attack is declared but before any dice are rolled. If his attack hits, his opponent takes a -5 penalty on his attack rolls against the fighter for that round.
Greater Deflection (Ex): Beginning at 13th level, a fighter can deflect ranged attacks generated by spell effects and unusual ranged attacks with his deflection ability.
Weapon Attunement (Su): Beginning at 15th level, when wielding a weapon for which he has the Weapon Focus feat, a fighter applies 1.5 times the weapon's magical enhancement bonus to damage. The bonus damage resulting from magical weapon abilities that add extra damage dice is also increased by 50%.
Critical Expertise (Ex): Once per day beginning at 17th level, a fighter can make an attack that instantly kills its target. He must declare his intent to use this ability beforehand, and creatures immune to critical hits are immune to this ability. Otherwise, if the fighter successfully makes a melee attack and the target takes damage, the target must then make a Fortitude save against DC 11 + 1/2 the fighter's class levels + Wisdom modifier or die instantly. If the target succeeds on its save, it still takes triple the damage the fighter dealt. If the fighter acheived a critical hit using this ability, the target takes a -4 penalty on his save and takes quadruple damage on a success.

Starting at 19th level, the fighter can use this ability twice per day.
Weaponmaster (Ex): At 20th level, a fighter is so skilled in armed combat that he may perform maneuvers with them that most would not even believe possible. Feats and abilities that let the fighter sacrifice one statistic to benefit another (like Power Attack or Combat Expertise) increase their returns by 1.5, so that a fighter who uses Combat Expertise and sacrifices five points of attack bonus gains seven points of AC. Other feats and abilities that give a fighter a set bonus to attack, damage, or AC (such as Weapon Specialization or Dodge) multiply their bonuses by 2.

Furthermore, threat ranges on all weapons he wields are increased by one point. This is above and beyond the effects of effects like Improved Critical, and is added after the effects of effects that alter critical threat ranges (so that a keen greataxe +1 would have a critical threat range of 18-20, while a keen greatsword +1 would have a critical threat range of 16-20).

Class Skills
The monk’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Balance (Dex), Climb (Str), Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Escape Artist (Dex), Hide (Dex), Jump (Str), Knowledge (arcana) (Int), Knowledge (religion) (Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Perform (Cha), Profession (Wis), Sense Motive (Wis), Spot (Wis), Swim (Str), and Tumble (Dex).
Skill points at 1st Level: (4 + Intelligence modifier) x 4.
Skill points at Each Additional Level: 4 + Intelligence modifier.

Class Features
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Monks are proficient with club, crossbow (light or heavy), dagger, handaxe, javelin, kama, nunchaku, quarterstaff, sai, shuriken, siangham, and sling. Monks are not proficient with any armor or shields. When wearing armor, using a shield, or carrying a medium or heavy load, a monk loses her AC bonus, as well as her fast movement and flurry of blows abilities.
Combat Technique (Ex): At 1st level, a monk learns how to deliver a rapid flurry of blows or a single decisive strike.

When unarmored, a monk who is using the flurry of blows technique may strike with a rapid series of blows at the expense of accuracy. When doing so, she may make one extra attack in a round at her highest base attack bonus, but this attack takes a -2 penalty, as does each other attack made that round. The resulting modified base attack bonuses are shown in the Flurry of Blows column on the above table. This penalty applies for 1 round, so it also affects attacks of opportunity the monk might make before her next action. When a monk reaches 5th level, the penalty lessens to -1, and at 9th level it disappears. When a monk reaches 11th level, her flurry of blows ability improves. In addition to the standard single extra attack she gets from flurry of blows, she gets a second extra attack at her full base attack bonus. A monk must use a full attack action to strike with a flurry of blows.

When using flurry of blows, a monk may attack only with unarmed strikes or with special monk weapons (kama, nunchaku, quarterstaff, sai, shuriken, and siangham). She may attack with unarmed strikes and special monk weapons interchangeably as desired. When using weapons as part of a flurry of blows, a monk applies her Strength bonus (not Str bonus × 1½ or ×½) to her damage rolls for all successful attacks, whether she wields a weapon in one or both hands. The monk can’t use any weapon other than a special monk weapon as part of a flurry of blows.

In the case of the quarterstaff, each end counts as a separate weapon for the purpose of using the flurry of blows ability. Even though the quarterstaff requires two hands to use, a monk may still intersperse unarmed strikes with quarterstaff strikes, assuming that she has enough attacks in her flurry of blows routine to do so.

When unarmored, a monk who is using the decisive strike technique may deliver a single powerful blow as a standard action. When doing so, her attack roll is made with a -2 penalty, as does each other attack made that round. The resulting modified base attack bonuses are shown in the Decisive Strike column on the above table. When a monk reaches 5th level, the penalty lessens to -1, and at 9th level it disappears. At 11th level, a monk gains a +1 bonus on the attack roll of a decisive strike. A monk must use an attack action to perform a decisive strike. If the attack hits, it deals double damage. These modifiers and conditions apply for 1 round and so also affect any attacks of opportunity the monk might make before her next action.

When using a decisive strike, a monk may attack only with unarmed strikes or with special monk weapons (kama, nunchaku, quarterstaff, sai, shuriken, and siangham). The monk can’t use any weapon other than a special monk weapon for a decisive strike.

If a decisive strike is used to deliver a stunning attack or a quivering palm attack, the save DCs to resist those abilities are increased by 2.
Enhanced Strike (Ex): At 1st level, a monk gains Improved Unarmed Strike as a bonus feat. A monk’s attacks may be with either fist interchangeably or even from elbows, knees, and feet. This means that a monk may even make unarmed strikes with her hands full. There is no such thing as an off-hand attack for a monk striking unarmed. A monk may thus apply her full Strength bonus on damage rolls for all her unarmed strikes.

Usually a monk’s unarmed strikes deal lethal damage, but she can choose to deal nonlethal damage instead with no penalty on her attack roll. She has the same choice to deal lethal or nonlethal damage while grappling.

A monk’s unarmed strike is treated both as a manufactured weapon and a natural weapon for the purpose of spells and effects that enhance or improve either manufactured weapons or natural weapons.

A monk also deals more damage with her unarmed strikes than a normal person would, as shown on Table: The Monk. The unarmed damage on the above table is for Medium monks. A Small monk deals less damage than the amount given there with her unarmed attacks, while a Large monk deals more damage; see Table: Small or Large Monk Unarmed Damage (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/classes/monk.htm#tableSmallorLargeMonkUnarmedDamage).

The increased damage from this ability applies to special monk weapons and weapons with the ki focus special ability in addition to unarmed strikes.
Style Training I: At 1st level, a monk selects a style to learn from Chapter 5 and gains the first-tier skill bonus and bonus feat of that style. A monk need not have any of the prerequisites normally required for the feats learned as part of a style.
Unarmored AC Bonus (Ex): When unarmored and unencumbered, the monk adds her Wisdom bonus (if any) to her AC. In addition, a monk gains a +1 bonus to AC at 5th level. This bonus increases by 1 for every five monk levels thereafter (+2 at 10th, +3 at 15th, and +4 at 20th level).

These bonuses to AC apply even against touch attacks or when the monk is flat-footed. She loses these bonuses when she is immobilized or helpless, when she wears any armor, when she carries a shield, or when she carries a medium or heavy load.
Evasion (Ex): At 2nd level or higher if a monk makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if a monk is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless monk does not gain the benefit of evasion.
Style Training II: At 2nd level, a monk learns the second-tier bonus feat of the style she selected at 1st level. A monk need not have any of the prerequisites normally required for the feats learned as part of a style.
Still Mind (Ex): A monk of 3rd level or higher may add her Wisdom modifier as an insight bonus to Will saves.
Unarmored Speed Bonus (Ex): At 3rd level, a monk gains an enhancement bonus to her speed, as shown on the table above. A monk in armor or carrying a medium or heavy load loses this extra speed.
Ki Strike (Su): Starting at 4th level, the monk's enhanced strikes are treated as if they were magic weapons for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction. If the monk performs a special ritual, they also gain an effective enhancement bonus up to half of his monk class level. This effective enhancement bonus functions exactly like the enhancement bonus of a magical weapon in all respects. A 4th level monk who performs this ritual can treat his fists as +2 weapons, or as +1 weapons with a special ability. Upon gaining this ability, and every other level thereafter, the monk can perform a ritual which involves meditating for 1 hour and the burning of special incense, which costs an increasing amount of money as indicated on the following table, to increase the effctive overall enhancement bonus of his fists. A monk can meditate for 1 hour to change the way this effective bonus is distributed, but he must possess special incense appropriate for how much of the bonus he is altering.
{table="head"]Effective Bonus|Incense Cost
+1|2,000 gp
+2|6,000 gp
+3|10,000 gp
+4|14,000 gp
+5|18,000 gp
+6|22,000 gp
+7|26,000 gp
+8|30,000 gp
+9|34,000 gp
+10|38,000 gp[/table]Example: Kenji is a 3rd level monk. On gaining his 4th level, he can purchase 4,000 gp worth of special incense (1,000 gp for the +1 and 3,000 gp for the increase to +2) and meditate for an hour, after which his fists become +1 shocking weapons. Later on during his 5th level, Kenji wants to change his fists to be +1 frost weapons instead. He is altering the equivalent of a +1 ability, so he has to buy 1,000 gp worth of incense and meditate for an hour. This incense is a specially prepared variety, and each batch weighs 1lb., no matter how much it costs.

Starting at 10th level, the monk's enhanced strikes are treated as lawful-aligned weapons for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction. Lawful good monks' enhanced strikes are additionally treated as good-aligned, and lawful evil monks' enhanced strikes are treated as evil-aligned.

Starting at 16th level, the monk's enhanced strikes are treated as if made out a special material (defaulting to adamantine) for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction. A monk can meditate for 1 hour to change which special material his enhanced strikes are treated as.
Purity of Body (Ex): At 5th level, a monk gains immunity to all diseases except for supernatural and magical diseases.
Style Training III: At 6th level, a monk learns the 3rd-tier bonus feat of the style she selected at first level. A monk need not have any of the prerequisites normally required for the feats learned as part of a style. If she meets the prerequisites, she also learns the bonus ability.
Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Beginning at 7th level, a monk retains his Dex bonus to AC even when flat-footed.

If a monk already has uncanny dodge from a second class, the character automatically gains improved uncanny dodge instead.
Air Walk (Sp): Starting at 8th level, the monk can duplicate the effect of the air walk spell for up to 10 rounds per day. These rounds need not be successive, and he may use this ability multiple times per day as long as the total time spent with this ability active does not exceed 10 rounds per day.

At 16th level, this ability improves and he can air walk for up to 20 rounds per day.
Improved Evasion (Ex): At 9th level, a monk’s evasion ability improves. She still takes no damage on a successful Reflex saving throw against attacks, but henceforth she takes only half damage on a failed save. A helpless monk does not gain the benefit of improved evasion.
Diamond Body (Ex): At 11th level, a monk gains immunity to poisons of all kinds.
Style Training IV: At 12th level, a monk continues to study her chosen style, gaining the 4th-tier bonus feat or special ability. A monk need not have any of the prerequisites normally required for the feats learned as part of a style.
Diamond Soul (Ex): At 13th level, monk gains spell resistance equal to his monk level x 2.
Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Beginning at 14th level, a monk can no longer be flanked.

This defense denies a rogue the ability to sneak attack the character by flanking him, unless the attacker has at least four more rogue levels than the target does.

If a monk already has uncanny dodge from a second class, the character automatically gains improved uncanny dodge instead, and the levels from the classes that grant uncanny dodge stack to determine the minimum rogue level required to flank the character.
Quivering Palm (Ex): Once per day beginning at 15th level, the monk can make an attack that instantly kills its target. He must declare his intent to use this ability beforehand, and creatures immune to critical hits are immune to this ability. Otherwise, if the monk successfully makes a melee attack and the target takes damage, the target must then make a Fortitude save against DC 11 + 1/2 the monk's class levels + Wisdom modifier or die instantly. If the target succeeds on its save, it still takes triple the damage the monk dealt. If the monk acheived a critical hit using this ability, the target takes a -4 penalty on his save and takes quadruple damage on a success.
Dimension Door (Sp): Once per day for every 5 monk levels attained, starting at 17th level, a monk may create a dimension door effect, as the spell. His caster level for this effect is half his monk level. By expending two uses of this ability, a monk can activate this ability as a move action and retain the ability to act after using it.
Timeless Body (Ex): Upon attaining 17th level, a monk no longer takes penalties to her ability scores for aging and cannot be magically aged. Any such penalties that she has already taken, however, remain in place. Bonuses still accrue, and the monk still dies of old age when her time is up.
Style Training V: At 18th level, a monk learns the 5th-tier bonus feat or special ability of her chosen style. A monk need not have any of the prerequisites normally required for the feats learned as part of a style.
Empty Body (Su): At 19th level, a monk gains the ability to assume an ethereal state for 1 round per monk level per day, as though using the spell etherealness. She may go ethereal on a number of different occasions during any single day, as long as the total number of rounds spent in an ethereal state does not exceed her monk level.
Perfect Self (Su): At 20th level, a monk becomes a magical creature. She is forevermore treated as an outsider rather than as a humanoid (or whatever the monk’s creature type was) for the purpose of spells and magical effects. Additionally, the monk gains damage reduction 15/magic and adamantine and chaos which allows her to ignore the first 15 points of damage from any attack made by any weapon that is not magical, adamantine, and chaotic-aligned or by any natural attack made by a creature that doesn’t have similar damage reduction. Unlike other outsiders, the monk can still be brought back from the dead as if she were a member of her previous creature type.
Ex-Monks: A monk who becomes nonlawful cannot gain new levels as a monk but retains all monk abilities.

Like a member of any other class, a monk may be a multiclass character, but multiclass monks face a special restriction. A monk who gains a new class or (if already multiclass) raises another class by a level may never again raise her monk level, though she retains all her monk abilities.

Style Training I: At 1st level, a psychic monk selects a style to learn from Chapter 5 and gains the first-tier skill bonus and bonus feat of that style. A psychic monk need not have any of the prerequisites normally required for the feats learned as part of a style.
Enhanced Strike (Ex): As the monk ability of the same name, except with regards to the damage dealt and as otherwise noted here. A psychic monk may imbue her unarmed strikes with a trickle of psionic power, allowing her to strike harder than most people. This ability functions even in antimagic fields and null psionics zones. When wielding a special monk weapon or weapon with the ki focus special ability, a psychic monk may deal her unarmed damage with that weapon. Starting at 1st level, a psychic monk deals 1d6 points of bludgeoning damage with her unarmed strikes. At 5th level, this improves to 1d8. At 10th level, she deals 1d10 points of damage, 2d6 at 15th, and 2d8 at 20th.

Powers: A psychic monk begins play knowing two 1st-level powers from the psychic monk power list. Wisdom determines how many bonus power points psychic monks receive and how hard their powers are to resist.

Class Features
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A blademaster gains no proficiency in any weapons or armor.
Spells: At the indicated levels, levels of blademaster stack with divine casting class levels for the purposes of determining spells per day.
Dance of Death (Ex): A blademaster can make a full attack with her forceknife and still move up to her movement. She must move at least 5 feet between each attack, though she cannot move back to a square she just left. She gains a bonus to attack and damage rolls, and a dodge bonus to AC, equal to half her blademaster level. The dance of death lasts 1 round for every 2 ranks she possesses in Perform (dance). She is still subject to attacks of opportunity while moving, but she can use the Tumble skill to avoid them. The dance of death only works if the blademaster is wearing armor no heavier than light, and the effects of the dance of death do not stack with those of rage or frenzy. After the dance of death ends, the blademaster becomes fatigued for the duration of the encounter.
Forceknife (Su): As a move action, a blademmaster can create a semisolid blade composed of pure force. The blade is identical in all ways (except visually) to a greatsword of a size appropriate for its wielder. The wielder of a forceknife gains the usual benefits to her attack roll and damage roll from a high Strength bonus.

The blade can be broken (it has hardness 10 and 10 hit points); however, a blademaster can simply create another on her next move action. The moment she relinquishes her grip on her blade, it dissipates. A forceknife is considered a magic weapon for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

A blademaster’s forceknife improves as the character gains higher levels, gaining an equivalent +1 bonus at each level. These +1 bonuses can be as regular enhancements or as other equivalent forms of magical enhancement. For instance, a third-level blademaster can have a flaming forceknife +2, a forceknife +3, or a shocking burst forceknife +1, as long as the total bonus of the forceknife does not exceed the blademaster's class level.

Even in places where magic effects do not normally function (such as within an antimagic field), a blademaster can attempt to sustain her forceknife by making a DC 20 Will save. On a successful save, the blademmaster maintains her forceknife for a number of rounds equal to her class level before she needs to check again. On an unsuccessful attempt, the forceknife vanishes. As a move action on her turn, the blademistress can attempt a new Will save to rematerialize her forceknife while she remains within the magic negating effect.

A blademaster can change the enchantments on her forceknife by meditating for four hours. Interrupting the process will cause the forceknife to revert to its preexisting state.
Smite Evil (Su): A blademaster can Smite Evil as a paladin, up to a number of times per day as indicated on the table.
Smiting Spell: At 3rd level, the blademaster gains the Smiting Spell metamagic feat.
Fast Movement (Ex): At 2nd level and higher, a blademaster gains an enhancement bonus to her land speed. This bonus does not function is the blademaster wears armor heavier than light or carries more than a light load.
Dance of the Storm (Su): Starting at 5th level, a blademaster adds her class level in electrical damage to all attacks made while in a dance of death.
Whirlwind Strike (Ex): At 10th level, the blademaster gains the ability to make a full attack against every target she threatens while using the dance of death. She cannot move between attacks while using this ability, and she can only use this ability once per dance of death. At the end of a dance of death in which she uses this ability, the blademaster becomes exhausted rather than fatigued.

City Watchman
Warriors who aren’t good enough to make the cut as adventurers, elite soldiers, or mercenaries, tend to gravitate to the position of City Watchman. They don’t get honor or glory, they don’t slay evil dragons with magic swords, and they’re lucky to have two meals a day. However, they are essential to life, for, without someone to guard the gates, catch the petty criminals, and file the paperwork, where we would be? They aren’t the best of the best, but they’ve got swords, badges, and numbers–and know how to use all of them.
Vitality Die: d8

REQUIREMENTS
BAB: +4
Feats: Combat Expertise or Power Attack
Skills: Knowledge (Local) 2 ranks, Search 2 ranks

Class Skills
The City Watchman’s class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Gather Information (Cha), Intimidate (Cha), Jump (Str), Knowledge (Local) (Int), Profession (Wis), Ride (Dex), Search (Int), and Swim (Str).

1st|+1|+2|+0|+0|Take ‘Em Down

3rd|+3|+3|+1|+1|Strength in Numbers[/table]

Class Features
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: You gain no additional weapon or armor proficiencies.
Take ‘Em Down (Ex): At 1st level, you gain the ability to deal nonlethal damage with any melee weapon without taking a penalty to your attack roll.
Protect and Serve (Ex): At 2nd level, whenever you use the Combat Expertise feat or fight defensively, you may choose to not receive the normal bonuses to AC. If you do, all adjacent allies gain those bonuses to AC as a circumstance bonus. In addition, whenever you and one or more adjacent allies all use the Combat Expertise feat or fight defensively, you become immune to flanking until the beginning of the next turn.
Strength In Numbers (Ex): At 3rd level, whenever you and an ally flank an opponent, you both receive a +4, rather than +2, bonus on attack rolls. If both of you are City Watchmen with the strength in numbers ability, then the bonus increases to +5.


Crimson Executioner
The Crimson Executioners are an elite band of warriors, renowned both for their cold, heartless expertise and their savage, unrelenting bloodlust. The Executioners all draw their martial techniques from an ancient manuscript of warfare known as the Crimson Protocol, and there is a certain sense of brotherhood among them–but that is all. There is no guild, organization, or hierarchy amongst the Executioners. They are utterly free agents, putting their swords and skills to whatever causes they see fit. A noble champion, a stern lawman, a self-serving mercenary, an evil assassin: a Crimson Executioner could be any of them.
Vitality Die: d10

REQUIREMENTS
BAB: +7

10th|+10|+7|+3|+3|Sudden Death[/table]

Class Features
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: You gain proficiency with all light and martial weapons, as well as the bastard sword. In addition, you gain proficiency with all armor and shields, except tower shields.
Crimson Slash (Ex): At 1st level, you gain the ability to maim foes with your blade. Once per day, you may declare one melee attack a crimson slash. You must do so before you make the attack roll; if the attack misses, you still lose that use. A creature hit by a crimson slash takes 1d4 points of Str damage. A critical hit does not affect the amount of ability damage dealt. At each odd level, you gain an additional daily use of the crimson slash ability. At 5th level, the ability damage dealt by the crimson slash ability increases to 1d6. At 9th level, you may deal Con damage, rather than Str damage with the crimson slash ability.
Improved Death Blow (Ex): At 2nd level, you become skilled at dispatching already wounded foes. You may make a coup de grace attack against a helpless defender as a swift action. In addition, as a full round action, you may make a single coup de grace attack against all helpless defenders within your reach.
Bonus Feat (Ex): At 3rd, 6th, and 9th levels, you gain a bonus feat, drawn from the list of Fighter bonus feats. You must still meet all the prerequisites of that feat.
Mettle (Ex): At 4th level, your mind and body have been hardened through training and testing. If you make a successful Fortitude or Will save against an effect that allows a save for half or partial effect, that effect is instead negated.
Terrifying Execution (Ex): At 5th level, the bloody violence you are capable of can shake the hearts of lesser foes. Whenever you kill a creature with a melee attack, all enemies within 30 ft. of you that both saw the killing and have an amount of HD less than or equal to that of the killed creature are intimidated by your skill. They must make a Will save, DC 10 + your class level + your Strength modifier, or be panicked for as long as they remain within 30 ft. of you. Even if they save, they are shaken for one round. At 7th level, the range affected by this ability increases to 60 ft. Once a creature successfully saves against this ability, it is immune to it for 24 hours. This is a mind-affecting, fear effect.
Improved Mettle (Ex): At 7th level, your mind and body are impervious to harm. Even if you fail a Fortitude or Will save against an effect that allows a save for half or partial effect, you still only suffer the reduced effect.
Crimson Razor (Ex): At 8th level, you gain the ability to unerringly strike at the vitals of your foes. Once per day, you may declare one melee attack a crimson razor. You must do so before you make the attack roll; if the attack misses, you still lose that use. If the attack is successful, than it is automatically a critical hit. You cannot declare an attack both a crimson slash and a crimson razor. You gain an additional daily use of the crimson razor ability at each subsequent level.
Sudden Death (Ex): At 10th level, you gain the ability to slay a foe before they even realize you’ve struck them. Once per day, you may declare one melee attack a sudden death attack. You must do so before you make the attack roll; if the attack misses, you still lose that use. If the attack is successful, then the enemy you struck is automatically dazed for 1d4 rounds. At the end of those 1d4 rounds, it must make a Fortitude save, DC 10 + your class level + your Strength modifier. If it fails, then its hit points fall to -10, and it dies. Even creatures immune to dazing are subject to the latter part of this ability.

Eidolon Blade
Eidolon Blades are master Soulknives who have unlocked the secret of eidolons. They have learned to transform their mind blades into channels for their own subconscious–eidolons. By opening the mind blade as a psychic conduit, they can bestow it with sentience, a persona derived from their own subconscious, along with considerable power. Even master swordsmen are wary of crossing steel with an Eidolon Blade, for he never fights without an ally or a weapon–he has both in his eidolon.
Vitality Die: d10

REQUIREMENTS
To qualify to become an Eidolon Blade, you must fulfill all the following criteria.
BAB: +6
Feats: Psionic Meditation

Class Features
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: You gain no additional weapon or armor proficiencies.
Awaken Least Eidolon (Su): At 1st level, your mind blade becomes an eidolon. It is treated as an intelligent object. Its alignment is decided by the DM, although it is always within one step of yours. It has two mental ability scores of 12 and one of 10. These scores are decided by you and, once determined, cannot be changed. It can communicate with you through empathy alone, and has 30 ft. vision and a sense of hearing. It has no powers, lesser or greater, and no dedicated purpose. When your mind blade is unformed, it can still communicate with you–and only you–as a voice in your head, though it cannot perceive the outside world. If you split your mind blade, then both are intelligent, though each of their mental scores is 2 less than normal.
Mind Blade Enhancement (Su): Eidolon Blade levels stack with Soulknife levels to determine the enhancement bonus of your mind blade, but not for purposes of psychic strike damage, mind blade special abilities, or any other Soulknife class features.
Lesser Eidolon Power (Ps or Su): At 2nd, 4th, and 6th levels, your mind blade gains a minor power. Rather than using the standard list of minor powers, choose powers from the list of below. Your mind blade cannot use its powers, minor or greater, while it is unformed or split into multiple blades. Powers limited to a certain number of uses per day can only be used that many times a day, regardless of how many times you form or dissipate the blade. Your mind blade’s manifester level is equal to your class level, and all psi-like abilities are fully augmented for its manifester level. The minor powers you may choose from are as follows:
{table=head]Power|Description
Concealing Amorpha|Mind blade can use concealing amorpha on you 1/day.
Detect Hostile Intent|Mind blade can use detect hostile intent 3/day.
Detect Psionics|Mind blade can use detect psionics at will.
Dispel Psionics|Mind blade can use dispel psionics 1 /day.
Eradicate Invisibility|Mind blade can use eradicate invisibility 1/day.
Know Direction|Mind blade can use know direction and location at will.
Precognition|Mind blade can use either defensive precognition or offensive precognition on you a total of 3/day.
Prevenom|Mind blade can use prevenom weapon on itself 3/day.
Psicraft|Mind blade has 10 ranks in Psicraft
Vigor|Mind blade can use vigor on you 3/day.[/table]
Shape Eidolon (Su): With sentience comes greater control over form. At 2nd level, you may shape your mind blade as a standard, rather than a full-round, action. In addition, you can change your mind blade into the form of any one-handed or light martial or simple weapon, or any one-handed exotic weapon you are proficient with. If you change it into a light weapon, you may split it as usual.
Aligned Eidolon (Su): At 3rd level, your mind blade becomes aligned, and is treated as a weapon of one aspect of its alignment, chosen by you, for overcoming damage reduction. If the mind blade’s alignment is different than your own, then you must choose the aspect of its alignment it shares with you. If either you or your mind blade is true neutral, or your mind blade has no non-neutral aspect of alignment in common with you, then you may align the blade with the alignment of your choice. Thus, the chaotic neutral mindblade of a chaotic good Eidolon Blade would be chaotically aligned, while the neutral evil mind blade of a true neutral Eidolon Blade could be aligned with any alignment of his choice.
Awaken Lesser Eidolon (Su): At 3rd level, your mind blade’s two ability scores of 12 increase to 14, though its ability score of 10 remains unchanged. It gains the power of speech, and the range of its vision increases to 120 ft.
Eidolon Focus (Su): At 5th level, you may store your psionic focus in your mind blade. You can spend a full-round action attempting to psionically focus your mind blade. At any time when you need to expend your psionic focus, you can expend your mind blade’s psionic focus instead. The mind blade cannot focus itself. If your mind blade dissipates, the stored focus is lost.
Awaken Greater Eidolon (Su): At 6th level, your mind blade’s two ability scores of 14 increase to 16, though its ability score of 10 remains unchanged. It gains the ability to read any languages it can speak, and it gains darkvision out to 60 ft.
Adamant Eidolon (Su): At 7th level, your mind blade is treated as an adamantine weapon for ignoring object’s hardness and for overcoming damage reduction.
Greater Eidolon Power (Ps or Su): At 8th and 10th levels, your mind blade gains a greater power. Rather than using the standard list of greater powers, choose powers from the list of below. Greater powers function exactly like minor powers do.
{table=head]Power|Description
Adapt Body|Mind blade can use adapt body on you 1/day.
Aura Sight|Mind blade can use aura sight at will.
Correspond|Mind blade can use correspond 3/day.
Energy Blade|Mind blade can use weapon of energy on itself 1/day.
Keen Edge|Mind blade can use psionic keen edge on itself 3/day.
Psychic Strike|Mind blade’s psychic strike damage increases by 1d8.
Second Chance|Mind blade can use second chance on you 1/day.
Truevenom|Mind blade can use truevenom weapon on itself 1/day.
True Seeing|Mind blade can use psionic true seeing 1/day.
Vampiric Blade|Mind blade can use vampiric blade on itself 3/day.[/table]
Awaken Major Eidolon (Su): At 9th level, your mind blade’s two ability scores of 16 increase to 18, though its ability score of 10 remains unchanged. It gains the ability to communicate telepathically and to read magic, and the range of its darkvision increases to 120 ft. It gains blindsense out to 30 ft.
Eidolon Unbound (Su): At 10th level, your mind blade gains the ability to move and attack foes of its own volition. As a swift action, you may release a held mind blade to act on its own. You cannot use this ability if your mind blade is split. The released mind blade functions as if it were a magic weapon with the dancing special ability. However, instead of fighting for four rounds after being released, instead, each round the mind blade is released, excluding the round you released it, you must make a Concentration check. The DC of the check is 20, plus 5 for each previous round the mind blade has been released. If you fail the check, the mind blade dissipates and reforms in your hand. Otherwise, it continues fighting on.

Firetamer
Firetamers are skilled craftsmen who have tamed elemental fire to do their bidding. Few ‘tamers are adventurers–instead, most are skilled craftsmen who have dabbled in magic, often as adepts or magewrights, and seek to harness its power to aid in their profession. Skilled Firetamers can imbue their forges, ovens, or hearths with radiant flames, and channel raw elemental power into their craft. The workplace of a Firetamer is always marked with the brass badge of the Firetamer’s Guild, a loose association of like-minded ‘tamers. It is not a formal guild, and has few restrictions–but any charlatan who poses as a Firetamer will find himself faced by both angry craftsmen with magic up their sleeves, as well as dissatisfied adventurer customers. Most Firetamers make a living selling masterwork goods to adventurers or military men, often using their prestige to secure lucrative subsidies or contracts.
Vitality Die: d6

REQUIREMENTS
Skills: Craft or Profession (Any) 8 ranks, Spellcraft 8 ranks
Spells: Must be able to cast at least one 1st level or higher spell with the [Fire] descriptor.

Class Skills
The Firetamer’s class skills are Appraise (Int), Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Knowledge (all skills taken individually) (Int), Profession (Wis), and Spellcraft (Int).
Skill Points at Each Level: 2 + Int modifier.

3rd|+1|+1|+1|+3|Burning Companion|+1 level of existing spellcasting class[/table]

Class Features
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: You gain no additional weapon or armor proficiencies.
Spellcasting: Whenever you gain a new Firetamer level, you gain new spells per day and spells known as if you had also gained a level in an arcane or divine spellcasting class you belonged to before you added the prestige class level. You do not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained.
Call Flame (Su): At 1st level, you may, as a swift action, summon a small globe of fire, which levitates a few inches above your hand. The ball of fire gives light as a torch, and you may light easily flammable materials–paper, logs, and so on–with it as a swift action. As a standard action, you may throw the globe at an enemy. Doing so requires a ranged touch attack to hit, and deals 1d3 fire damage. You cannot hold any other items with the hand that holds the globe, but you may, as a swift action, command the globe to orbit your head, like an ioun stone, or return to your hand. It still provides light while orbiting, but you must hold it in hand to light fires with it or throw it.
Flame of Forging (Su): At 2nd level, whenever you use a globe of fire created by the Call Flame ability to light a fire used as part of a Craft or Profession check you make, you gain an enhancement bonus on that check equal to your caster level. Craft and Profession skills that can potentially involve fire include Armorsmithing, Cooking, Glassblowing, Weaponsmithing, and similar.
Burning Companion (Su): At 3rd level, you gain the ability to summon a Small Fire Elemental to serve as your familiar, similarly to the Improved Familiar feat. If you already have a familiar, you must dismiss it before you can summon the elemental, but you do not incur any XP loss for doing so.

Master Craftsman
They aren’t heroes. They aren’t adventurers. No, Master Craftsmen are far more important than that. Master Craftsmen are paragons of artifice, skilled smithies and bowyers whose goods have saved the life of many an adventurer. Most masters are fairly wealthy, as they learn how to craft items both faster and more cheaply without losing quality, but they tend not to reduce their prices, letting them make a hefty profit. Most Master Craftsmen hold a high position in a trade or mercantile guild, further increasing their economic power. No badge or emblem is needed to distinguish one as a Master Craftsmen–anyone who see’s a master’s goods can tell they are worked with an immensely experienced wright.
Vitality Die: d6

REQUIREMENTS
Feats: Skill Focus (Craft)
Skills: Craft (Any) 10 ranks
Special: You must craft a masterwork item, and show it to another Master Craftsman. If he is satisfied with it, he will claim it as payment, and begin teaching you the art of the Master Craftsmen. Once you have trained under him for a week, you may then take a level in this class.

Class Skills
The Master Craftsman’s class skills are Appraise (Int), Craft (Int), Disable Device (Int), Gather Information (Cha), Knowledge (Local) (Int), Open Lock (Int), and Profession (Wis).
Skill Points at Each Level: 2 + Int modifier.

Skilled Wright (Ex): At 1st level, you gain a competence bonus on Craft checks equal to twice your class level. In addition, you do not take penalties for using improvised artisan’s tools. These bonuses does not apply to untrained Craft checks.
Steady Hands (Ex): At 2nd level, whenever you fail a Craft check to make an item by 5 or more, you may immediately make a reroll against the same DC. If the reroll is successful, you do not make any further progress on the item, but no raw materials are ruined. Because of this, you may take 20 on Craft checks, though doing so increases the time required to make the check to 20 days, rather than a week.
Efficient Production (Ex): At 3rd level, the crafting time of items you create is halved. If you take 20 on a Craft check, then this reduction does not apply to that crafting time.
Master’s Craft (Ex): At 4th level, the crafting price of items you create is halved.
Craft Magic Item (Su): At 5th level, you may choose one type of magical item. You may, though sheer force of will, forge magic items of that type. The type of item you choose depends on which Craft skills you have access to. You must have at least 15 ranks in the Craft skill corresponding to an item type in order to choose it. If you choose wondrous items or magic weapons, you must choose a further subtype of items which you are limited to. It is up to the DM to determine if a given item fits within the subtype. Rings, wands, scrolls, rods, and staves cannot be created with this ability.

{table=head]Item Type|Subtype|Craft Skill
Magic Armor and Shields|–|Armorsmithing
Magic Weapons|Melee Weapons|Weaponsmithing

Wondrous Items|Wooden Objects|Woodworking[/table]

When crafting magic items in this way, it works just as normal, except that you may ignore the item creation feat requirements and spell requirements. However, for every spell requirement you ignore, you must make a Craft check, DC 20 + the spell’s level, at the end of the crafting process. If any of the checks are unsuccessful, the process is ruined and you must begin again. You cannot take 20 or reroll failures on these checks with the Steady Hands ability. You cannot create items with a value of 15,000 gp or greater with this ability.

Master of Styles
A master of styles is a skilled martial artist who has achieved the rank of "master" in a variety of different combat styles.

Style Training III: At 4th level and 9th level, a master of styles learns the 3rd-tier bonus feat of the style she selected at first level. A master of styles need not have any of the prerequisites normally required for the feats learned as part of a style. If he meets the prerequisites, he also learns the bonus ability.
Style Mastery: At 10th level, a master of styles achieves greater mastery of all the styles he has learned according to the following list:
Cobra Strike: (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/variantCharacterClasses.htm#cobraStrike) A master of styles receives a +4 dodge bonus from his Dodge feat.
Denying Stance: (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/variantCharacterClasses.htm#denyingStance) When fighting defensively or using the Combat Expertise feat, you gain a +4 bonus on grapple checks and disarm attempts.
Hand and Foot: (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/variantCharacterClasses.htm#handandFoot) You gain a +4 bonus on attacks of opportunity made against an opponent attempting to bull rush or trip you, and a +8 bonus on Dexterity or Strength checks to avoid being tripped or bull rushed.

Kazejutsu: (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34683#5) When using the Spring Attack feat, you provoke no attacks of opportunity and can make a full attack, and gain a +10 style bonus to damage when you do so.
Mind and Fist: (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34683#5) You do not lose psionic focus by using Psionic Weapon, Greater Psionic Weapon, or Deep Impact until you successfully strike an opponent. In addition, you gain a +10 style bonus to damage when you do successfully strike an opponent while using Psionic Weapon, Greater Psionic Weapon, or Deep Impact.
Overwhelming Attack: (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/variantCharacterClasses.htm#overwhelmingAttack) If you have used Intimidate to demoralize your opponent at any time within the previous 10 rounds, you gain a +8 bonus on Strength checks made to bull rush or overrun that opponent.
Passive Way: (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/variantCharacterClasses.htm#passiveWay) You gain a +8 bonus on Strength checks made to trip an opponent who is denied his Dexterity bonus to Armor Class.
Rushing River: (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34683#5) You gain a swim speed equal to your land speed and can hold your breath for a number of rounds equal to 10 times your Constitution score. Also, you gain the benefits of a freedom of movement effect, as the spell, but only when you are underwater.
Sleeping Tiger: (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/variantCharacterClasses.htm#sleepingTiger) Once per round, when an opponent would be denied his Dexterity bonus to Armor Class, the monk deals an extra 4d6 points of damage with a melee attack made with a light weapon. Any creature immune to sneak attacks is immune to this ability.
Striking Viper: (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34683#5) You gain the skirmish ability, as per the Scout base class (CAdv). Whenever you move at least ten feet in a round, all your attacks during that round deal an extra 1d6 points of damage, and you receive a +1 competence bonus to AC until the beginning of your next turn. At 12th and 18th monk levels, the extra damage increases by 1d6, and the competence bonus to AC increases by 1. This ability stacks with any skirmish abilities gained from other classes. Your master of styles levels count as monk levels for the purposes of this ability, and your skirmish ability improves by +1d6 and +1.

Multiclass Note: Monks who take levels in this class may continue to advance as monks.

Merciful Confessor
Merciful Confessors are pious folk who have taken it upon themselves to redeem their fellow man. Few are adventurers, and their deeds are not remembered in stories. Instead, they are humble village priests or wise men, whose true skill lies in helping others overcome their sin and regret. Though they do not slay dragons, Merciful Confessors help the people around them move on in life without being burdened by a guilty conscience–and in the end, which is greater?
Vitality Die: d6

REQUIREMENTS
Alignment: Any Non-Evil
Skills: Knowledge (Religion) 8 ranks, Diplomacy 4 ranks, Sense Motive 4 ranks

2nd|+1|+0|+0|+3|Reveal the Lie|+1 level of existing divine spellcasting class
3rd|+1|+1|+1|+3|Rites of Absolution|+1 level of existing divine spellcasting class[/table]

Class Features
Sinsight (Su): At 1st level, you can peer into the minds of those around you, and discern what weighs on their consciousness. As a standard action, you may sense the sin of a single creature within 30 ft. of you. If the creature is unwilling, it may attempt a Will save, DC 10 + ½ your caster level + your Cha modifier, to resist it. If it fails the save, or is willing, then you find out the creature’s alignment, the strength of its alignment aura, and get a vague impression of any deeds weighing on its conscience. You only get a general description of such deeds, and the creature must have at least some trace of regret in order for you to sense the deeds. At 3rd level, when you use this ability, you may also read the creature’s surface thoughts. A creature that successfully saves against this ability is immune to it for 24 hours.
Reveal the Lie (Su): At 2nd level, lying to you becomes very difficult. You gain a +5 insight bonus on all Sense Motive checks. In addition, you may use zone of truth once per day as a spell-like ability, with caster level equal to your class level.
Rites of Absolution (Su): At 3rd level, you gain the power to reconcile a repentant sinner with his god. Once per day, you may spend an hour in meditation to intercede with the divine. This works as the atonement spell. Even if the transgression atoned for was the result of deliberate action, you do not need to spend any XP.

Mind Diver
Some psions specialize in reaching into the minds of others. These talented telepaths can learn any secret, uncover any fear, and break even the strongest of minds. They do not simply read thoughts–they immerse themselves in the minds of others, diving deep into their subconscious. Against such a Mind Diver, there can be no defense but a strong mind–and even that falls before their probing reach.
Vitality Die: d4

REQUIREMENTS
Skills: Psicraft 8 ranks, Sense Motive 8 ranks
Manifesting: Must be able to manifest 3rd level psionic powers. Must know the read thoughts power.

10th|+5|+3|+3|+7|Ego Dive|–[/table]

Class Features
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: You gain no additional weapon or armor proficiencies.
Manifesting: Whenever you gain a new Mind Diver level, except at 1st and 10th, you gain new power points per day and powers known as if you had also gained a level in a manifesting class you belonged to before you added the prestige class level. You do not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained.
Telepathy (Su): At 1st level, you gain the ability to telepathically communicate with any creature that has a language within 10 ft. of you. At each subsequent level, the range of your telepathy increases by 10 ft. As a move action, you may expend your psionic focus to double the range of your telepathy until the beginning of your next round.
Mind Dive (Ps): At 2nd level, you gain the ability to pry into the thoughts of others. At will as a standard action, you may attempt to read the thoughts of any creature within the range of your telepathy. That creature must make a Will save, DC 10 + your class level + your primary manifesting attribute. If it saves, you immediately learn its surface thoughts, as the read thoughts power. In addition, you perceive its past actions, seeing everything it has done from a number of minutes into the past equal to your manifester level to the present. This is a mind-affecting ability.
Defensive Dive (Su): At 3rd level, you gain the ability to telepathically sense your foes’ intent to attack you, and to use this information to dodge their blows. Once per encounter, when you have successfully read an enemy’s thoughts with your mind dive ability, you gain a +1 insight bonus to AC against all attacks made by that enemy for the remainder of the encounter. This bonus increases to +2 at 7th level, and to +3 at 10th level.
Fear Dive (Ps): At 4th level, you gain the ability to awaken a creature’s deepest fears. Once per day, you may telepathically project a wave of dread. All creatures within the range of your telepathy must make a Will save, DC 10 + your class level + your primary manifesting attribute, or be shaken for 2d4 rounds. Even if they succeed on their save, they are shaken for 1 round. If a creature fails its save by 5 or more, it is also nauseated for 1d4 rounds, disgusted by the images it has seen. You cannot spare any creatures other than your self from this–even your own allies fall prey to this dread. You may use this ability two times per day at 7th level, and three times per day at 10th level. This is a mind affecting, fear ability.
Memory Dive (Ps): At 5th level, once per day, when a creature fails its save against your mind dive ability, you may either alter its memories, as the psionic modify memory power, or examine its memories, as the probe thoughts power, with manifester level equal to your own. The creature is allowed at second Will save, at the same DC as that of the mind dive ability, to resist this ability. You may use this ability twice per day at 7th level, and three times per day at 9th level. This is a mind-affecting, compulsion ability.
Perception Dive (Ps): At 6th level, you gain the ability to telepathically alter the perception of those around you, masking your presence. Once per day, as a standard action, you may attempt to cloud the perception of all creatures within the range of your telepathy, as the mass cloud mind power, with manifester level equal to your own. All targets may attempt a Will save, DC 10 + your class level + your primary manifesting attribute, to resist having their minds clouded. If a creature whose mind has been clouded leaves the range of your telepathy, the effect is lifted. However, new creatures entering into your telepathy’s range are not affected. You may use this ability twice per day at 8th level, and three times per day at 10th level. This is a mind-affecting ability.
Mass Mind Dive (Ps): At 7th level, whenever you use your mind dive ability, you may target all creatures within the range of your telepathy, instead of only one.
Sanity Dive (Ps): At 8th level, once per day, when a creature fails its save against your mind dive ability, you may render it insane, as the psionic insanity power, with manifester level equal to your own. The creature is allowed at second Will save, at the same DC as that of the mind dive ability, to resist this ability. This is a mind-affecting, compulsion ability.
Shattering Dive (Ps): At 9th level, any of your class abilities from this class that are mind-affecting ignore the effects of psionic mind block or similar effects.
Ego Dive (Ps): At 10th level, whenever a creature of any type fails its save against your mind dive ability, you may choose to take control of it, as the psionic dominate power, with manifester level equal to your own. The creature is allowed at second Will save, at the same DC as that of the mind dive ability, to resist the control. If it fails its save, it becomes dominated. Although you must concentrate to maintain the duration of this ability, as long as the controlled creature is within the range of your telepathy, you need only take a swift action to maintain concentration. You may only control one creature at a time with this ability. This is a mind-affecting, compulsion ability.

The Neo-Penumbran Guard
Neo-Penumbran Guards are a group of elite dark elves who protect their illithid masters with the utmost devotion. They undergo a special ritual involving the implantation of a special, slow-growing variety of illithid tadpole that grants them abilities and traits as they grow in power, making them more and more like their masters. The greatest guards are entrusted as their masters' heirs, transforming fully into illithids upon their deaths, or the deaths of their master.
Vitality Die: d10

REQUIREMENTS

BAB: +5.
Skills: Intimidate 4 ranks, Knowledge (psionics) 4 ranks, Sense Motive 4 ranks.

Special: Sworn allegiance to an illithid noble of Neo-Penumbra, must willingly undergo a ritual in which a special illithid tadpole is implanted.

Skill Points at Each Level: 2 + Int modifier.

10th|+10|+7|+3|+3|Bonus feat, illithid heir|10|10|5th[/table]

Class Features
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A Neo-Penumbran Guard gains no proficiency in any weapons or armor.
Powers: Wisdom determines the number of bonus power points a Neo-Penumbran Guard has, and Charisma determines how hard those powers are to resist. The NPG selects his powers known from the psychic warrior list.
Penumbra's Favor (Su): At 1st level, the Neo-Penumbran Guard undergoes a long and painful ritual during which a special illithid tadpole is implanted in her brain by his illithid master. The nascent psionic power of the tadpole creates a continuous mindlink effect between the Guard, the illithid master, and all other Guards who share the same master. The Guard also receives a +2 on all Search, Sense Motive, and Spot checks made to detect threats to the master. The Guard automatically fails all saving throws against mind-affecting spells, powers, spell-like abilities, and psi-like abilities cast, manifested, or activated by the illithid master. Additionally, the Guard gains the Illithid Heritage feat from Complete Psionic.
Claim the Blow (Ex): At 2nd level, the Neo-Penumbran Guard gains the ability to interpose herself between an attacker and her illithid master. Any time that the Guard is within 5 feet of her master and her master is the target of an attack, the Guard may switch places with her master and suffer the attack herself. The Neo-Penumbran Guard must declare that she is using this ability after the attack roll is made, but before she knows whether or not it has hit.
Transformation (Ex): At the 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th, and 10th levels, the tadpole implanted in the Neo-Penumbran Guard slowly matures, granting the Guard one of the Illithid Heritage feats from Complete Psionic. The Neo-Penumbran Guard must still meet all the prerequisites of a feat in order to select it.
Penumbra's Defender (Ex): Beginning at 4th level, the NPG gains a +2 morale bonus on attack and damage rolls against creatures she has observed attacking her or her illithid master. At 8th level, this morale bonus increases to +4, but the NPG takes a -2 penalty to her AC.
Final Stand (Su): Once per day as a standard action, a NPG of at least 8th level can inspire herself and her troops to greater efforts. Allies within 10 feet of the Guard, including the Guard herself, gain 2d10 temporary vitality points. This ability affects a number of creatures, and lasts a number of rounds, equal to the Guard's class level + Cha modifier. Closer allies are affected first. This is a mind-affecting ability.
Illithid Heir (Ex): At 10th level, the illithid tadpole has grown so much that if either the Guard or her master dies, the Guard will spontaneously transform into a brand new illithid after 24 hours.

Rage Mage
While for most spellcasters, powerful emotions like rage are disruptive to the concentration necessary to complete the ritual of spellcasting, there are certain individuals who learn to turn their rage into a ritual in and of itself. These are the rage mages, and they are individuals to be greatly feared. While the majority are arcanists, there are a few divine casters who have unlocked the secrets of enraged spellcasting.
Hit Die: d6.

REQUIREMENTS
Alignment: Any nonlawful.
Base Attack Bonus: +3.
Feats: Combat Casting.
Spells: Must be able to cast 2nd-level arcane spells.
Special: Rage or frenzy ability.

Class Features
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Rage mages gain proficiency in light armor, and also learn how to ignore the arcane spell failure chance imposed by light armor.
Spells Per Day: At every level except 1st, 5th, 6th, and 10th, the rage mage's spellcasting ability improves as if he had gained a level in whichever spellcasting class he previously belonged to. He gains no other benefits of going up a level in that class.
Spell Rage (Ex): A rage mage can cast spells while in a rage or frenzy, although other activities requiring patience and concentration are still prohibited. Only spells with casting times of 1 full-round action or less and that damage or kill one’s foes, or increase one’s own ability to damage one’s foes, may be cast. This includes healing and defensive spells, since one cannot kill one’s enemy if one is dead.

During a rage, the caster level and save DCs of the rage mage's spells increase by +1 for every three rage mage levels he posesses, beginning at +0 at 1st level and progressing up to +3 at 9th level. In addition to being fatigued at the end of his rage, the rage mage also becomes mentally fatigued for the duration of the current encounter.

Rage mage levels count as and stack with barbarian levels for the purpose of determining how many times a rage mage can rage per day.
Enraged Smiting (Ex): At 2nd level, a rage mage learns to harness his rage to channel his spells through his weapon. Once per rage, a rage mage can apply the Smiting Spell metamagic feat to one of his spells without spending an higher-level spell slot or increasing its casting time.
Enraged Empower (Ex): At 4th level, a rage mage learns to harness his rage to make his spells more damaging. Once per rage, a rage mage can apply the Empower Spell metamagic feat to one of his spells without spending an higher-level spell slot or increasing its casting time.
Break Limits (Ex): Beginning at 5th level, the increase in CL granted by the rage mage's spell rage can cause a spell's damage dice to exceed the damage cap of the spell.
Enraged Maximize (Ex): At 6th level, a rage mage learns to harness his rage to draw out his spells' full destructive potential. Once per rage, a rage mage can apply the Maximize Spell metamagic feat to one of his spells without spending an higher-level spell slot or increasing its casting time.
Greater Rage (Ex): At 7th level, a rage mage’s bonuses to Strength and Constitution during his rage each increase by +2, and his morale bonus on Will saves increases by +1. The penalty to AC remains at -2.
Enraged Quicken (Ex): At 8th level, a rage mage learns to harness his rage to make his spells take less time. Once per rage, a rage mage can apply the Quicken Spell metamagic feat to one of his spells without spending an higher-level spell slot or increasing its casting time.
Perfect Rage (Ex): At 10th level, a rage mage no longer becomes fatigued and mentally fatigued at the end of his rage and has no chance of losing spellcasting ability after a rage. Also, the restrictions on what spells can be used in a rage is lifted.

Mentally Fatigued
A mentally fatigued character takes a -2 penalty to all mental ablity scores. This penalty can cause a character to be unable to cast spells for which he no longer has the prerequisite ability score (10 + spell level) and bonus spells gained from a high ability score while the penalty lasts. A mentally fatigued character becomes mentally exhausted by doing something else that would normally cause mental fatigue, or by casting a spell or manifesting a power with a casting/manifesting time of a swift or immediate action, or a spell/power modified by a metamagic/metapsionic feat. After 8 hours of complete rest, mentally fatigued characters are no longer mentally fatigued.

Mentally Exhausted
A mentally exhausted character cannot cast any spells or manifest any powers with a casting/manifesting time of a swift or immediate action, or with a casting/manifesting time of more than 1 full round action. A mentally exhausted character casts spells and powers with casting/manifesting times of 1 standard action as a full-round action. If a spontaneous caster, the character cannot apply any metamagic feats to spells. A psionic character cannot become psionically focused or apply metapsionic feats to his powers. A mentally exhausted character takes a -6 penalty to all mental ability scores. This penalty can cause a character to be unable to cast spells or manifest powers for which he no longer has the prerequisite ability score (10 + spell/power level) and bonus spells gained from a high ability score while the penalty lasts. After 1 hour of complete rest, a mentally exhausted character becomes mentally fatigued. A mentally fatigued character becomes mentally exhausted by doing something else that would normally cause mental fatigue, or by casting a spell or manifesting a power with a casting/manifesting time of a swift or immediate action, or a spell/power modified by a metamagic/metapsionic feat.

Aura of Good: A Soulfire Guardian's class levels stack with her paladin and cleric levels to determine the strength of her aura of good.
Smite Evil (Su): At 1st level, the Soulfire Guardian gains the ability to smite evil 1/day. This ability functions like the paladin ability of the same name.

Improved Soulfire Spell (Ex): Starting at 4th level, spells a Soulfire Guardian prepares and/or casts with the Soulfire Spell metamagic feat use a spell slot one level higher than the unmodified spell.
Soulfire Aura (Su): Beginning at 6th level, a Soulfire Guardian can activate this ability as a move-equivalent action. Silver flames that harm neither the Soulfire Guardian nor her equipment engulf her entire body. While she is aflame, the character’s Charisma score increases by 4, she can make a melee touch attack for 2d6 points of soulfire damage, and she gains damage reduction 5/magic. If she is struck in melee, the attacker takes 2d6 points of soulfire damage. This ability lasts for up to 5 rounds per Soulfire Guardian level and is usable once per day. The Soulfire Guardian gains additional daily uses at 8th and 10th levels.
Soulfire Blast: Starting at 7th level, while her Soulfire Aura is activated, the Soulfire Guardian can lose one of her prepared spells to gain a number of power points equal to (spell level x 2) - 1 as a free action. 0-level spells grant 1 power point for this purpose, and the Soulfire Guardian gains bonus power points based on her Wisdom modifier. The Soulfire Guardian then gains the ability to manifest both of the following psionic powers: energy burst (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/powers/energyBurst.htm) or energy missile (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/powers/energyMissile.htm). These powers can deal only fire damage and are treated as if they were modified by the Soulfire Spell metamagic feat. They otherwise follow all the normal rules for manifesting psionic powers. Her Charisma modifier determines how hard these powers are to resist, and her manifester level is equal to her divine caster level. Any power points gained with this ability disappear at the end of the day.
Soulfire Ward: Starting at 10th level, the Soulfire Guardian can spend the power points gained by her Soulfire Blast ability to manifest the energy wall (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/powers/energyWall.htm) power. This power can deal only fire damage and is treated as if it was modified by the Soulfire Spell metamagic feat. It otherwise follows all the normal rules for manifesting psionic powers. Her Charisma modifier determines how hard these powers are to resist, and her manifester level is equal to her divine caster level.
Multiclass Note: Paladins who take levels in this class may continue to advance as paladins.

*This is a new feat described in Chapter 5.

Feats

Accuracy [General]
The accuracy of your shots is uncanny.
Prerequisites: Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Dex 15, BAB +8.
Benefit: When wielding a ranged weapon with which you are proficient, you may add your Dexterity modifier to damage.
Special: A fighter may select this feat as a one of his bonus feats.

Aim [General]
When you take the time to aim carefully, you intuitively know when best to release your shot.
Prerequisites: Point Blank Shot, Far Shot, Dex 13, Wis 15.
Benefit: By taking a full-round action to make a single ranged attack, you can add your Wisdom modifier to your ranged attack roll, in addition to your Dexterity modifier.
Special: A fighter can select this feat as one of his bonus feats.

Ambidexterity [General]
You can use both hands in combat equally well.
Prerequisites: Str 15, Dex 15.
Benefit: Your off hand is treated as your on hand when fighting with two weapons. That is, you take -6 to attack rolls made with either hand when fighting with two weapons. If you have the Two Weapon Fighting Feat, this is reduced to -4, as this feat reduces penalties to attacks made with your on hand by two. If you also have the Oversized Two Weapon Fighting feat, or wield at least one light weapon, the penalties to all attacks are -2.
Attacks made with your off hand add your full strength bonus to damage rolls.
Normal: See Table 8-10: Two Weapon Fighting Penalties on page 160 of the PHB.
Special: A character need not have this feat to be able to write with both hands.
A 6th level ranger who has selected the two-weapon combat style is treated as having Ambidexterity, even if he does not have the prerequisites for it, but only when he is wearing light or no armor.
A fighter may take this feat as a fighter bonus feat.

Arcane Blades [Style]
The movements of your blades can channel arcane power.
Prerequisites: BAB +3, Combat Casting, TWF, Slashing Blades, ability to cast arcane spells.
Benefit: While wielding two scimitars, you can cast spells with somatic components without requiring a free hand. You do not provoke attacks of opportunity for casting a spell while wielding two scimitars in this way.
Normal: You must have at least one hand free to cast a spell with a somatic component, and casting a spell while threatened provokes attacks of opportunity.

Augment Critical [General]
You swing your weapon with such great force that you deal much more damage when your blows strike true.
Prerequisites: BAB +8, Weapon Focus.
Benefit: Choose a weapon for which you have taken the Weapon Focus feat. When wielding that weapon, its critical multiplier doubles (keep in mind that a doubled doubling is a tripling, and so on).
Special: You can take this feat multiple times. Its effects do not stack. Each time you take it, choose a new weapon with which you also have the Weapon Focus feat. A fighter may take this as a bonus feat.

Blood Magic [General]
By drawing on the magical power in your blood, you can ignore most material components.
Prerequisites: Eschew Materials, Cha 13.
Benefit: You can take Constitution burn to ignore material components of up to the given gp limit for 1 minute:
0 Con = 250 gp
1 Con = 500 gp
2 Con = 750 gp
3 Con = 1000 gp
4 Con = 1250 gp
etc. = etc.Normal: You must provide material components with a listed cost over 1 gp, even if you have the Eschew Materials feat.
Special: If a material component is indispensable to the function of a spell (i.e., the gem for trap the soul), you must include it in your spell no matter how expensive it is or how much Con burn you take. It is up to the DM what material components qualify as "indispensable".

Dancing Blades [Tactical]
You twirl your scimitars like the dancing breeze, dancing on the edge of sunlight, directing it into your opponents eyes as you attack him.
Prerequisites: Dex 13, Int 13, Weapon Finesse, Weapon Focus (Scimitar), Slashing Blades, Combat Expertise, Two-Weapon Fighting, BAB +6.
Benefit: You can use all three of the following tactical maneuvers.
Flashing Blades: When you make a full attack against a single opponent while wielding two scimitars, you may reflect light into his eyes. He must make a Reflex Save (DC 10 + 1/2 your BAB + your Dex modifier + any bonuses to your AC from Combat Expertise or defensive fighting) or be flat-footed against your attacks for this round.
Dancing Leaves: When you are wielding two scimitars, you may make a Perform (dance) check, adding your Dex modifier and half of your BAB instead of your Cha modifier. This duplicates the fascinate bardic music ability, except that drawing weapons does not release the creature from the effect. This is an extraordinary ability which produces a mind-affecting pattern effect.
Falling Leaves Cut: When you draw two scimitars and then make an attack or full attack, you gain 1 extra attack with each scimitar, each at a -2 penalty.

Darkfire Channeler [Divine]
You can channel the power of darkfire to enhance your spells.
Prerequisites: Darkfire Spell, Divine Metamagic (Darkfire Spell), ability to turn water creatures and rebuke fire creatures, patron god Maleth.
Benefit: You can expend uses of your ability to turn water creatures and rebuke fire creatures to apply metamagic feats to your spells as described by the Divine Metamagic feat. All turn attempts so spent on a single spell must come from the same source; you cannot spend some of your turnings of undead to apply one metamagic feat, and some of your fire rebukings to apply another feat to the same spell.

Darkfire Spell [Metamagic]
You can call upon Maleth's power and channel His power into your fire-based spells.
Prerequisites: Ability to cast spells from the Fire domain, patron god Maleth, alignment lawful evil, neutral evil, or lawful neutral.
Benefit: A darkfire spell is more potent against creatures resistant to fire. This metamagic feat can only be applied to damage-dealing spells with the Fire descriptor. Spells modified by this feat deal darkfire damage, which ignores resistance to fire and immunity to fire but for all other purposes is treated as fire damage. Spells modified by this metamagic feat take up a slot two levels higher than normal and gain the Evil descriptor, and the flames produced by the modified spell are black.
Special: Lawful evil and some lawful neutral monks studying the Way of Fire gain this feat for free at 12th level, and can spend 2 additional stun attempts to apply it to their burning hands spell-like ability.

Devout Ascetic [General]
You blend monastic life with devout prayer.
Prerequisites: Improved Unarmed Strike, ability to turn or rebuke undead.
Benefit: Your monk and cleric levels stack for the purposes of determining your enhanced strike damage, unarmored Armor Class bonus, and the power of your turn/rebuke attempts.

Double Focus [Psionic]
You can achieve an even deeper psionic focus than normal.
Prerequisites: Concentration 15 ranks, two other psionic feats.
Benefits: While psionically focused, you can attempt a DC 25 Concentration check in order to gain a second psionic focus. You can expend them one at a time or simultaneously, but if you choose the expend both at once, they must be used for separate abilities rather than the same ability twice.

The blood of the elves flows in your veins.
Prerequisites: Non-elf, 1st level only.
Benefit: You gain the following traits:

Extend Stun [General]
When you stun opponents, they stay stunned longer.
Prerequisites: BAB +12, Dex 13, Wis 13, Improved Unarmed Strike, Stunning Fist.
Benefit: On a successful stunning attack, your target is stunned for 2 rounds.

Benefit: If you do not wield a shield or weapon in your off-hand, you treat your chosen weapon as a light weapon. If you do not wield a shield or weapon in your off-hand, you also gain a +1 shield bonus to your AC when wielding your chosen weapon. When you are fighting defensively or using the total defense action, this shield bonus increases to +2.
Special: A fighter may select Graceful Edge as one of his bonus feats. You may take this feat more than once; each time, it applies to a different one-handed slashing weapon that you have Weapon Focus in.

Greater Mad Resistance [Insanity, Psionic]
Your madness can grant you immunity to energy of a certain type.
Prerequisites: Madness, Mad Resistance, Improved Mad Resistance.
Benefit: While you have your psionic focus, you gain immunity to energy damage of a type for which you have taken the Improved Mad Resistance feat. This is a supernatural ability. If you have the Mad Resistance and Improved Mad Resistance feats for more than one energy type, this feat can only apply to one energy type at a time.
Special: If you take this feat, you may not take the Mad Symbiosis feat.

Greater Surging Madness [Insanity, Psionic]
Your madness sometimes gives you even greater power.

If you do, roll a number of d6s (or d8s, if you have the Action Boost feat) equal to the bonus wild surge would normally give you. The result of the highest single die roll is added to your normal wild surge bonus for this round. Add the number of dice you rolled to your character level for the purpose of psychic enervation. If you become psychically enervated, you are dazed for an additional number of rounds equal to your (improved) wild surge bonus.
Special: You must use your wild surge ability at its maximum power.

You can convert your psionic energy into a mind blast.
Prerequisites: Illithid Heritage, two other illithid feats, ML 5th.
Benefit: As a standard action, you can expend your psionic focus and 3 power points to produce a mind blast in a 15-foot cone.

Special: This feat replaces the version of Illithid Blast that appears on page 61 of Complete Psionic.

Immediate Recovery [Psionic]
You can recover your center with incredible speed.
Prerequisites: Concentration 18 ranks, Psionic Meditation, one other psionic feat.
Benefit: After you expend your psionic focus for any reason, you can attempt a DC 35 Concentration check to regain your psionic focus as an immediate action.
Normal: Regaining your psionic focus requires a full-round action.

Improved Mad Resistance [Insanity, Psionic]
Your madness grants you greater resistance to energy of a certain type.
Prerequisites: Madness, Mad Resistance.
Benefit: You gain energy resistance equal to your highest mental ability score to the energy type for which you have taken Mad Resistance. The energy resistance granted by this feat does not stack with that granted by the Mad Resistance feat. This is a supernatural ability.

Mad Symbiosis [Insanity, Psionic]
You have a special affinity for a particular type of energy.
Prerequisites: Improved Mad Resistance, Madness, Mad Resistance, Privileged Energy.
Benefit: While you have your psionic focus, you lose the energy resistance granted by your Mad Resistance and Improved Mad Resistance feats, and whenever you would take energy damage of that type, you take no damage but are instead healed a number of hit points equal to the energy damage that would have been done. This is a supernatural ability.
Special: You may only take this feat if the energy type selected for Privileged Energy matches the one you selected for Mad Resistance and Improved Mad Resistance. If you have this feat, you may not take the Greater Mad Resistance feat.

Multidexterity [General]
You can use all your hands in combat equally well.
Prerequisites: Str 15, Dex 19, three or more hands.
Benefit: Your off hands are treated as on hands when fighting with multiple weapons. That is, you take -6 to attack rolls made with all hands when fighting with multiple weapons.

If you also have the Oversized Two Weapon Fighting feat, or wield at least one light weapon, the penalties to all attacks are -2.

Special: This feat replaces Two-Weapon Defense for creatures with more than two hands. The bonus provided by this feat stacks with other shield bonuses.

Multiweapon Fighting [General]
You can fight with a weapon in each hand. You can make one extra attack each round with the secondary weapons.

Benefit: Your penalties on attack rolls for fighting with multiple weapons are reduced by 2 with the primary hand and by 6 with off hands. See the Two-Weapon Fighting special attack.

Benefit: Choose an item you possess which has great personal significance to you. For all purposes related to spellcasting, that item is now your arcane focus component.

Prerequisites: Ability to cast spells from the Fire domain, patron goddess Vala, alignment lawful good, neutral good, or lawful neutral.
Benefit: A soulfire spell is more potent against creatures resistant to fire. This metamagic feat can only be applied to damage-dealing spells with the Fire descriptor.

Spells modified by this metamagic feat take up a slot two levels higher than normal and gain the Good descriptor, and the flames produced by the modified spell are silver.
Special: Lawful good and some lawful neutral monks studying the Way of Fire gain this feat for free at 12th level, and can spend 2 additional stun attempts to apply it to their burning hands spell-like ability.

Surging Madness [Insanity, Psionic]
Your madness sometimes gives you great power.

Benefit: You take no penalty on attack rolls when fighting with two weapons or a double weapon.

Two As One [General]
When you are using two light weapons, you can make a single powerful strike with both weapons at once.
Prerequisites: BAB +3, Str 13, Dex 15, Power Attack, Two-Weapon Fighting.
Benefit: When you are wielding two identical light weapons, you may forego your normal full attack routine in order to make a single powerful attack. This attack, which is treated as a two-handed weapon, deals damage equal to the sum of the damage dice of both of your weapons. Your Strength modifier is applied to this damage as if you were wielding a single two-handed weapon. For example, a fighter with Str 14 who used this feat with two shortwords would deal 2d6+3 points of peircing damage.

Two-Weapon Defense [General]

Prerequisite: Dex 15.
Benefit: Your penalties on attack rolls for fighting with two weapons are reduced. The penalty for your primary hand lessens by 2 and the one for your off hand lessens by 6.

Normal: If you wield a second weapon in your off hand, you can get one extra attack per round with that weapon. When fighting in this way you suffer a -6 penalty with your regular attack or attacks with your primary hand and a -10 penalty to the attack with your off hand. If your off-hand weapon is light the penalties are reduced by 2 each. (An unarmed strike is always considered light.)
Special: A 2nd-level ranger who has chosen the two-weapon combat style is treated as having Two-Weapon Fighting, even if he does not have the prerequisite for it, but only when he is wearing light or no armor.
A fighter may select Two-Weapon Fighting as one of his fighter bonus feats. This feat replaces the version of Two-Weapon Fighting found in the PHB.

Flaws
By taking up to two flaws at first level, you can take two extra feats (one per flaw). Below are some flaws available in Tyrath.

Addiction [General]
You are addicted to some kind of drug.
Disadvantage: You are addicted to a substance. An addictive substance is any substance which alters your brain chemistry in such a way as to cause you to crave that substance; in game terms, this would often be represented by a poison. It is the DM’s call whether or not any particular substance is addictive. A character may indulge in a single dose of an addictive poison up to once a week without risk of becoming addicted. If a character has taken multiple doses of an addictive poison in the same week and still suffers ability damage as a result by one week after the initial dose, 1 point of his ability damage is converted to permanent ability drain in each of his damaged ability scores, and the character becomes addicted to the substance.

An addicted character can go for a number of hours without a dose equal to 2 x his Con mod (minimum 1 hour), not including time spent sleeping, in trance, or the like. For each half-hour he forgoes his substance over this time limit, the character must make a Will save against a DC of 20 - his Con mod + 1 for each previous save. If the save succeeds, the character takes 1d2 points of Con damage, but does not have to make a save for another half-hour. If the save fails, you succumb to your cravings and must seek a dose immediately. You may pause to eat, drink, or fight, but only as long as such pauses are necessary to your acquisition of your dose.

As time goes by, you begin to become inured to the effects of your substance. To achieve the same high, you must take ever increasing amounts of your substance. After the first year you spend as an addict, you are required to take twice as many doses as the previous year. While each of these double-doses affects you as only one dose would in terms of ability damage, use the full number of doses to calculate all other relevant effects. After the second year, you need three doses to produce the high that one dose used to give you; after the third year, four doses, and so on. Every time you suffer ability score damage as from a standard dose of your substance, you must make a Fort save against a DC of 0 + 1 for every dose you’ve taken in the past week or take 1d2 points of permanent Con drain. You are considered to be in the first year of your addiction.
Special: You can take this flaw multiple times. Its effects do not stack. Each time you take this flaw, you must select a different substance to be addicted to. You can acquire this flaw after first level, but it does not grant you an extra feat.

Allergy [General]
You are allergic to something.
Disadvantage: Choose a common substance that you are allergic to. Whenever the DM determines that you come into contact with your allergen, you must make a Fort save against DC 15 or become sickened for as long as contact persists, plus 1d6 days.

Dyslexia [General]
You have severe, debilitating dyslexia. Lesser, non-debilitating forms of dyslexia should be roleplayed.
Disadvantage: You must make a DC 20 Intelligence check to comprehend any and all messages written in a language you know. You take -4 to all Decipher Script checks, and cannot decipher scrolls in advance.
Special: You fail to comprehend any and all messages written in a language you do not know normally. Barbarians with this flaw cannot become literate. A character under the effects of a comprehend languages spell must still attempt the Int check to decipher written messages.

Fumble-Fingered [General]
Though you may be quite coordinated in other ways, you constantly have trouble with delicate manipulation.
Prerequisites: Either Open Lock or Sleight of Hand must be on your list of class skills.
Disadvantage: Treat your Dexterity as being 10 points lower (minimum 1) for the purpose of the Open Lock and Sleight of Hand skills. Furthermore, you take a -4 penalty on Disable Device checks, and arcane spells with somatic components that you cast have a 10% chance of failure.
Special: A character may not have both this flaw and the Nimble Fingers or Deft Hands feats.

Illiteracy [General]
You do not and cannot understand the connection between writing and language, and thus are unable to read.
Disadvantage: You cannot read or write, and can never learn to do either. This means, among other things, that you cannot use scrolls.
Special: Wizards cannot take this flaw. This flaw is incompatible with Dyslexia. Barbarians receive this flaw for free at first level, replacing their illiteracy class feature; they can spend a feat slot to negate this flaw.

Illogical [General]
You find it difficult to draw information to its logical conclusion (i.e., "connect the dots").
Disadvantage: You take a -4 penalty on all Sense Motive and Intelligence-based checks.

Styles
Styles are a way of customizing the abilities of a monk (or a psychic monk). At first level, a monk (or psychic monk) must choose a style to learn. He gains a +2 style bonus to the listed skill and receives the listed feat as a bonus feat. He gains additional bonus feats and abilities as he increases in level. Also, if he meets the listed prerequisites for the 3rd-tier bonus ability, a monk who has followed the style gains that ability when he gains the 3rd-tier bonus feat. If the monk does not meet the prerequisites when he gains the 3rd-tier bonus feat, he can never gain the bonus ability.

Weapons
Weapons in Tyrath follow slightly different rules from standard D&D when dealing with critical hit multipliers. Unlike the standard variant, weapons in Tyrath retainn their threat ranges unchanged, and they still have multipliers. To determine the critical multiplier of a weapon in Tyrath, use the following table.
{table="head"]Normal Multiplier|Tyrath Multiplier
x2|x1
x3|x2
x4|x3
etc.|etc.[/table]
Critical hits go directly to Wound Points and bypass damage reduction from armor.

This is a packet of 50 cheques, which can be used to purchase items instead of cash. Security-conscious individuals are advised to purchae a ring of arcane signing to prevent forged cheques from draining their funds. While one can theoretically write out one's own cheques on a blank sheet of paper, banks discourage this practice and often charge a fee for using nonstandard cheques. A chequebook costs 30gp and its weight is negligible.

Powderhorn
This hollowed horn or leather flask is filled with 2 pounds of gunpowder, enough to provide powder for 32 shots from any personal firearm. Drawing power from a powderhorn to reload a weapon is a free action. It costs 35 gp and weighs 2 lb.

Gunman's Bandolier

When your spell component pouch runs out of charges, you can't cast spells with material components anymore until you get it refilled or buy a new one. Full spell component pouches cost 5gp, and having one refilled costs 4 gp. A full spell component pouch weighs 2 lb.

Poisons
Bliss Poisons
The assassin vine is greatly feared for its carnivorous nature, but few know of its more insidious cousin, the bliss vine. The bliss vine lures its victims to it by exuding a sweet-smelling aroma from its blossoms. This smell is actually a narcotic, causing the inhaler to go into a blissful daze while the vine kills its victim.

The seeds of the bliss vine, when harvested in the autumn, can be made into a drug by crushing and dissolving them to make a perfume, or simply by eating the seeds themselves. The seeds can also be crushed and mixed with food and drink to create an ingested poison. The below products are all higly addictive; an character with the flaw Addiction (Bliss Seed) can go only half the normal time between doses (calculate time between doses as normal, then divide by 2, to a minimum time of half an hour).

Bliss perfume: plant narcotic; inhaled; Fort DC 15; dazed and charmed; stunned and charmed for 1d10 rounds; Craft DC 24; 450 gp per dose.

Bliss seed, whole or crushed: plant narcotic; ingested; Fort DC 20; 1d4 Dex, 1d6 Int, 1d6 Wis, and charmed; unconscious and charmed for 1 hour; Craft DC ~; 540 gp per dose.

Note: The effects induced by bliss seed and bliss perfume are unique in a couple of ways. Firstly, characters suffering the secondary effects of bliss seed are not truly unconscious, but in a foggy state of semi-consciousness. The character remains vaguely aware of his surroundings, but cannot perceive anything clearly. The character has no sense of time flow. The character is totally limp and unable to take any deliberate physical or mental action. Secondly, the charm effect which gives the bliss vine and its derivatives their names causes the affected character to view as friendly everyone he encounters, regardless of their actions. He may change his opinion of them after the effect has worn off. This charm effect is an extraordinary mind-affecting effect.

Magic and Psionic Items
Book of Ascension
Major Artifact
The Book of Ascension describes the rites by which a mortal can become a god. It always appears to be some other book, or even a blank book. The actual contents of the Book, the Rites of Ascension, are concealed (even from divination magic, clairsentience powers, and spells and powers such as wish, miracle, or reality revision) until a reader speaks the phrase, “To stand amongst the Gods, Their Equal,” in Daemic, the Holy Tongue, or the Unholy Tongue. Once this phrase has been spoken, the Book reveals its true nature until it is closed, at which time it reverts to showing the decoy text. Only one who speaks the phrase can read the Rites contained within the Book.
There are many Rites of Ascension. The exact number and details of the Rites are left to the discretion and imaginations of individual DMs.
Each Rite has an alignment, and only those whose alignment matches that of a Rite can perform that Rite. If someone attempts to perform a Rite with a different alignment from his own, he must make a DC 40 Will save. If he succeeds, his alignment changes to match the alignment of the Rite. If he fails, he is reduced to gibbering, incoherent madness and all his mental ability scores are reduced to 3. If he fails by 10 or more, he is destroyed utterly and cannot be resurrected. Likewise, if a Rite is attempted by someone with less than 20 Vitality Dice and without at least one mental ability score of 20 or more, he must make a DC 20 Will save. Success indicates that the Rite has failed but the performer is unharmed, while failure results in madness as described above. If a Rite is interrupted for any reason, it automatically fails and must be restarted from the beginning.
Upon successfully completing a Rite, the performer becomes a god of the appropriate alignment and with appropriate powers, including the ability to grant spells to worshippers, etc.
Here is an example Rite of Ascension:


The Rite of Transcendental Malevolence
Alignment: Neutral evil.
Requirements: Manifester level 20th, arcane caster level 20th, Spellcraft 20 ranks, Psicraft 20 ranks.
Special: Both demons and devils must owe you allegiance, and you must be feared by an entire world.

Rite: Sacrifice two separate groups of at least 500 of your worshippers and an equal number of unwilling participants to yourself in a ceremony lasting 1 hour, using both arcane spells and psionic powers to kill your victims, and bind the power of their souls to yours. Before performing this ceremony, you must prepare a ring in which your victims will be sacrificed. The ring must be large enough for a third of all your sacrifices to stand in it at once. For the ring to function properly, soul bind must be cast for every 500 feet of the ring’s circumference. At the center of the ring should be a dais, upon which you will stand during the ceremony. The sides and rim of this dais must be engraved with complex arcane and psionic symbols and sigils which must be drawn by you personally, requiring DC 45 Spellcraft and Psicraft checks. The first stage of the ceremony involves the ritual sacrifice of your unwilling victims by the first group of your worshippers. Then, in the second stage, they must sacrifice themselves to you, commiting mass ritual suicide. In the third portion of the ceremony, you must personally slay the second group of your worshippers without ever leaving your dais. Once you have done this, the accumulated energy of their souls will be transferred to you, making you a deity.

(Note to DMs:) Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever let your players get their hands on this book. If they do get their hands on it, never let them find out what it really is. If they find out what it really is, don’t let them find out how to use it. If they find out how to use it, steal it before they do. If, despite all your efforts to prevent it, one of them [or, horror of horrors, more than one of them, even all of them] performs a Rite and becomes a deity, make them minor Gods of something unpleasant yet ordinary, like acne, itches in the middle of the back, stains on clothing, etc.

Quicksilver Ring
This simple band of soft silver is coated with a substance that becomes poisonous whenever its wearer spontaneouly casts an arcane spell. Prized by bards and sorcerers, this ring allows them to cast their spells as if they were affected by the Quicken Spell metamagic feat with no increase in casting time. The usual restriction of one quickened spell per round still applies. Every time the wearer of a quicksilver ring spontaneously casts an arcane spell, she must make a Fortitude save or take 1 point of Constitution damage. The DC for the Fortitude save is 10 + the level of the quickened spell + the caster’s casting modifier. Any Constitution damage still present 72 hours later becomes permanent.

Ring of Arcane Signing
This ring is used to put one's seal on a cheque. When it is pressed to a surface with the intent of activating its power, it casts a unique, invisible arcane mark.

The arcane mark appears when viewed by detect magic or similar effects, as per the spell.

Faint universal; CL 1st; Forge Ring, arcane mark; Market Price: 1,000gp.

Ring of Self-Sacrifice
This ring allows the wearer to help others, but at the cost of some of their own life energy. The wearer of a ring of self-sacrifice can cast the spells restoration and cure critical wounds at will, but they automatically receive a negative level each time they do so. These negative levels remain in effect for 7 hours before disappearing.

Moderate conjuration and necromancy; CL 12th; Forge Ring, cure critical wounds, enervate, restoration; Market Price: 20,000gp.

New Weapon Abilities

[Lord Iames Osari]

Chapter 7: Deities, Magic, and Psionics

All of Tyrath worships the deities described in this chapter. There are no other true deities, but certain other powerful entites may have worshippers to whom they grant spells or who wield magical power through the strength of their faith.

Vala/Bella
Intermediate Goddess (Lawful Good, DvR 12)
Called Bella by the dwarves and Vala by all others, She is the patron goddess
of the righteous, the zealous, the pure, and the just. Typical worshippers of Vala are paladins, judges, and other crusaders. Her titles include the Lady of the Ardent Heart, Mother of Dwarves, Wielder of the Soulfire Blade, Righteous One, Defender of Valor, and Keeper of All Honor. Vala is the first of the Three
Goddesses, and Her symbol is a heart surrounded by silver flame. Her personal weapon, Soulfire, is a +6 axiomatic commanding flaming burst holy ghost touch cold iron longsword, which overcomes damage reduction as if it were silver. The longsword is Her favored weapon, and weapon of the deity spells cast by Her clerics result in a +1 flaming longsword. She usually appears as a tall, beautiful human, half-elf, or dwarf woman with straight black hair and silver eyes. Her clerics pray for spells at noon.
Portfolio: Courage, dwarves, fire, honor, justice, purity, righteousness, valor, war, zeal.
Domains: Courage (C,W), Destruction, Dwarf (C), Exorcism (E), Fire, Good, Glory (C,D,W), Law, Mysticism (C,D), Nobility (C,S,W), Purification (C,D), War, Wrath (C).
Cleric Training: Many, if not all, of Vala’s followers pursue some sort of martial prowess in addition to their deity’s tenets. Those who show true faith are urged to go to one of Vala’s temples, were he can be officially inducted into the ranks of Vala’s clergy and rewarded for his faith with spells to do Vala’s bidding.
Quests: Any quest that upholds righteousness is attractive to a follower of Vala. Waging a war against a nation ruled by an oppressive tyrant, hunting down vile criminals, and exposing corruption are all quests that advance Vala’s goals. Also, She tends to look favorably on those who help Her children, the dwarves.
Prayers: Prayers to Vala are most often recited in the form of a request: “Vala, grant me [quality], that I might [action].” For example, “Vala, grant me purity, that I might uproot corruption,” or “Righteous One, lend me glory, that I might smite Thy foes.” She is also invoked during the Swearing of Oaths along with the other deities of law (Valdersaan, Maleth, and Merx). When sworn, such an Oath produces an effect similar to the mark of justice spell, with the following differences: 1) the effect cannot be removed by magic except by a wish or miracle spell; 2) the Oath-Swearer can specify circumstances under which the Oath will cease to apply during the Swearing of the Oath, and 3) the deities invoked are not limited to putting the equivalent of a bestow curse spell on someone who breaks an Oath.
Temples: Temples dedicated exclusively to Vala are uncommon; She is usually honored alongside Her sisters Maia and Karan or with Her husband, Valdersaan, this latter pairing most common to dwarf lands. Where Vala’s temples do appear, they combine the strength of a fortress with beauty and majesty to provide a safe haven for all righteous beings.
Rites: Vala’s ceremonies usually center around preparing for and/or
celebrating the removal of some corruption, the righting of an injustice, or some great act of honor and valor.
Herald and Allies: Vala’s favorite herald is a LG celestial phoenix (MMII). If you don’t have the MMII, use a solar instead. Allies are hound archons, trumpet archons, and hound archon heroes.

Maia
Intermediate Goddess (Neutral Good, DvR 12)
Second of the Three Goddesses, Maia is the kindly provider of health and protection; She is goddess of fertility, childbirth, and motherhood. Farmers are numerous among Her worshippers, for She is especially revered in farming communities. Some of Her titles are Gentle Mother, Lady of the Healing Hands, Patroness of the Fields, and Guardian of Home and Hearth. Her symbol is an overflowing cornucopia. She carries a +5 holy keen merciful undead-bane vorpal silver sickle, Wheatcutter. The sickle is Her favored weapon, and weapon of the deity spells cast by Her clerics produce +1 merciful sickles. She usually appears as a young elf maiden or a middle-aged human mother, but She is always dressed in white robes and always has brown hair and kindly bronze eyes. Her clerics pray for spells at dawn.
Portfolio: Childbirth, family, farming, fertility, health, mercy, motherhood, protection, spring, water.
Domains: Community (C,D,E), Family (C), Feast (E), Fertility (T), Good, Healing, Mysticism (D), Renewal (C), Plant, Protection, Water.
Cleric Training: Clerics of Maia often begin as midwives and farmers of exceptional faith who are then brought to Maia’s attention by the community’s cleric. Once the Goddess has recognized the faith and piety of the individual in question, She becomes a new cleric. Maia can have neutral clerics even though She is not neutral.
Quests: Bringing food to a famine-stricken area, finding a cure for a deadly plague, helping farmers overcome a drought or blight, and assisting in a difficult birth are all undertakings attractive to clerics of Maia. In general, Maia’s followers seek to do good whenever and wherever they can. While they have little enthusiasm for violent struggles against evil, they are not pacifists and will fight when it becomes necessary.
Prayers: Like prayers to Her sister Vala, prayers to Maia most often take the form of an entreaty: “Maia, grant me health,” “Gentle Mother, protect me,” “Lady of the Healing Hands, let these people be fed,” etc. However, there is no set form.
Temples: Maia’s temples tend to unassuming structures, simple but sturdy. Sanctuary is granted to any and all who seek it, but those who would abuse the hospitality of Maia’s priests soon discover that even a Goddess of mercy can be roused to terrible wrath.
Rites: Maia has exclusive authority over marriages and nigh-exclusive authority over birthing ceremonies, and some authority over rites of fertility. No one gets married except by a cleric of Maia.
Herald and Allies: Maia’s herald is a solar. Her allies are celestial nymphs (NG), leonal guardinals, and planetars.

Karan
Intermediate Goddess (Chaotic Good, DvR 12)
The third of the Three Goddesses, Karan is Goddess of strength. Barbarians, boxers, duelists, drunken masters, and combatants of all kinds find Karan’s favor to be very welcome and are frequently found amongst Her followers. She is the patron of dancers. She is known as the Liberator, the Dancing Blade, and the Deadly Dancer; her symbol is a lightning bolt. She carries two weapons, Keenwind, a +5 anarchic dancing holy keen shocking adamantine greatsword, and Stormblade, a +5 anarchic holy shocking burst speed thundering adamantine greatsword. The greatsword is Karan’s favored weapon, and weapon of the deity spells cast by Her clerics produce +1 shocking greatswords. She usually appears to be a muscular and beautiful young female elf or half-elf. She has been known to take the shape of a human as well. Her clerics pray for spells after their morning workout.
Portfolio: Athletics, dancing, freedom, lightning, strength, wind.
Domains: Air, Chaos, Competition (C,D), Good, Liberation (C,D), Luck,
Mysticism (C,D), Strength, Windstorm (C), Wrath (C).
Cleric Training: Most often, Karan’s clerics are pious athletes who invoke Her often and give Her proper, public thanks when they succeed. Then they wake up one morning and find that Karan has decided to grant them divine spells.
Quests: Performing feats of strength, fighting against tyranny, freeing slaves, random acts of kindness, composing and choreographing a rowdy drinking song glorifying Karan, etc.
Prayers: Like prayers to Her sisters, Karan’s prayers are often requests: “Karan, grant me strength,” “Liberator, free me,” “Dancing Blade, lend me your grace in battle,” etc.
Temples: Karan has very few offical permanent temples outside the portions devoted to Her in temples honoring all of the Three Goddesses. Those that do exist are often near to some athletic venue, or even in it.
Rites: Karan’s ceremonies are generally spur-of-the moment affairs celebrating an athletic victory or somesuch.
Herald and Allies: Karan’s herald is a solar. Allies are bralani eladrins, ghaele eladrins, and planetars.

Solaan
Greater God (Chaotic Good, DvR 16)
God of the sun and the skies, progenitor of the Three, patron of travelers, sailors, and other wanderers, and chief deity of the elves: Solaan is all of these. He is also a patron of performers in general. His worshippers call him Ruler of the Skies, Guardian of Pilgrims, Father of Elvenkind, and Lord of Day. His symbol is the disc of the sun. He carries Sunflash, a +5 anarchic distance flaming holy radiant returning shocking adamantine spear which produces a daylight effect as a 20th-level caster on command. The spear is His favored weapon, and weapon of the deity spells cast by His clerics produce +1 distance spears. He appears as a golden-eyed and golden-haired elf. His clerics pray for spells at noon.
Portfolio: Elves, freedom, music, sky, summer, sun, travel, trade, weather.
Domains: Air, Celerity (C,D), Chaos, Elf (C), Fire, Good, Glory (C,D), Mysticism (C,D), Nobility (S,W), Portal (C), Storm (C), Summer (S), Sun, Trade (C), Travel, Weather (D,E).
Cleric Training: Many clerics of Solaan wander far and wide; when they meet a likely pupil, they invite him to join them on their travels. Should the prospective pupil accept, the cleric begins to teach his new student Solaan’s tenets. This informal apprenticeship arrangement ends when the mentor deems his student prepared to venture the lands alone. While the core lessons taught are usually the same, this highly individualistic method has the potential to lead to disastrous disagreements. That it has not done so already is a testament to the obsessive attention to detail that is so much a part of the elven psyche, elves making up by far the greatest portion of Solaan’s priesthood.
Quests: Protecting a trade ship from pirates or a party of travelers from bandits, destroying a major infestation of undead, bringing hope to lands of despair, and other, such quests are ones that Solaan’s clerics feel drawn to.
Prayers: Prayers to Solaan vary depending on who is praying. An elf or half-elf will address the deity as “Father of Elves,” as in, “Father of Elves, look kindly upon Thy child and light my path to glory.” Overland travelers often pray, “Guardian of Pilgrims, grant me safe passage along the roads which are Thy domain,” while sailors and traders might invoke Him this way: “Ruler of the Skies, bless this day’s wind that our sails might be filled and our voyage speedy.”
Temples: Solaan’s temples tend to be located at crossroads or in port towns. They vary wildly in appearance depending on what building materials are available. Many offer room and board to travelers free of charge.
Rites: Rites of Solaan tend to involve blessings of crossroads, of ships, and of newborn babes of elven blood, ensuring that Solaan will accept them as His children.
Herald and Allies: Solaan uses a solar as his herald most of the time, but occasionally he asks Mariko to serve as his herald instead (see below). Allies are half-celestial nymphs, astral devas, and planetars.

Mariko
Demigoddess (Chaotic Good, DvR 2)
Mariko, the First Elf, Mother of Elves, was raised to demigodhood by her husband Solaan. Mariko is revered by nearly all who have elven blood running in their veins. Even the orcs revere Her, for it was She who intervened on their behalf when Scitayr and Naturan were laying the Great Curse upon Moraan’s followers. Scitayr and Naturan intended to reduce the orcs to the level of animals, of vermin, for their crimes, but at Mariko’s insistence, They relented, allowing the orcs to retain their sentience that they might repent for their terrible wrongdoings. Of all the offshoots of the elven race, only the dark elves have turned their backs to Her, for She did not intervene to save them from the illithids as She intervened to save the orcs. Her husband sometimes sends Her to the Material Plane as His herald. She appears as an incredibly beautiful elf woman with the normal green eyes and brown hair, though Her eyes seem lit with an inner light. She carries a +5 anarchic holy merciful silver scimitar named Cutting Wind, and, when acting as Solaan’s herald, a replica of Sunflash. The scimitar is her favored weapon, and weapon of the deity spells cast by Her clerics produce +1 merciful scimitars. Her clerics pray for spells at noon.
Portfolio: Elves, orcs, childbirth, mercy.
Domains: Elf (C), Fertility (T), Good, Healing.
Cleric Training: Mariko’s clerics serve alongside clerics of Maia in elven communities and become clerics in similar ways.
Quests: Most clerics of Mariko aren’t big on adventuring, but one of Mariko’s directives is to rescue dark elven children from illithid society and raise them just like any other elf, so Mariko’s priests oppose illithds and seek to rescue dark elves from servitude whenever possible.
Prayers: As for Maia, generally.
Temples: Mariko’s temples, on the rare occasion that they are not incorporated into a temple of Solaan, are simple, unassuming buildings.
Rites: Mariko is invoked during the blessing of a newborn elf by clerics of Solaan.
Herald and Allies: As Solaan.

Quests: Defending communities of dwarves from invasion, helping communities through a difficult winter, hunting down lawbreakers, assisting in the creation of a powerful magic item, etc.
Prayers: “The Law of Valdersaan states: ...”
Temples: The temples of Valdersaan are fortresses like those of Vala, but withnone of their beauty. They possess an imposing grandeur, but that is all. They are very logical and practical in layout and, when large enough, have large maps posted at regular intervals for visitors.
Rites: Blessings at the establishment of new mines, the founding of a newdwarven community, the birth of a dwarf.

Naturan
Greater Goddess (Neutral, DvR 20)
Goddess of the natural world, Naturan is dedicated to preserving the natural order of things; thus, she despises undead. Naturan’s titles are Huntress and Hunted, Wild Mother, and the Wild One.

Temples: Temples to Naturan are almost always in naturally-occuring locations, like a cave, a sheltered grove, etc.
Rites: Life cycle milestones.

Domains not marked can be found in the Players Handbook.Augmenting an Ongoing Power
If a power you manifested which has a duration greater than 1 round can
be augmented to increase its duration, you may pay the augmentation cost to prolong its duration at any time during the duration of the power, even after you first manifested it.

For example, suppose Sybil, a 5th-level psion who has chosen the Clairsentience discipline, manifests object reading, a power which lasts as long as you concentrate, to a maximum of 10 minutes. If she decides, at any time during that 10 minutes, that she needs the power to last longer than ten minutes, she can spend a power point and augment object reading to last another 10 minutes (as long as she concentrates). Power points spent in this way are added to the power’s base cost as if the power had been manifested with the augmentation in the first place. Thus, Sybil can only prolong object reading one more time, since the highest number of power points she can spend on any one power is equal to her manifester level, which is 5. (Object reading costs 3 power points to manifest without any augmentation. Sybil augmented it once after manifesting it, paying 1 power point. 3 + 1 = 4. Therefore, Sybil can only augment object reading once more, paying one power point in addition to the 4 she has already spent. She would then have spent the maximum of 5 power points on the power.)

Magic, Psionics, Rage, and the Modern Age
While Tyrath assumes psionic-magic transparency for the most part, there is one difference, which stems from the flavor distinction between psionics and magic. The difference between magic and psionics in Tyrath stems from a few factors, the first being the source of the power. While both magic and psionics draw on flows of energy underlying the planar realities, magic employs ritual to break through the planar reality and acquire and shape those energies, like a one would drill or dig a well through the earth to reach an aquifer.

Psionics, on the other hand, are natural breaks in the planar realities, and the energy flows come up through the break into the minds of psionic characters like a natural spring. This means that the act of manifesting a power is simply a matter of having the force of will to direct the energies to produce the desired effect.

This difference has a couple of mechanical effects. Firstly, psionicists in the Modern Age are not restricted to powers 3rd level and below. Secondly, psionicists who have a rage or frenzy ability are not prohibited from manifesting their powers while raging or frenzying.

Rage and similar abilities disrupt spellcasting because they are associated with levels of emotion so overpowering that to concentrate on the ritual of casting a spell would be impossible. However, because psionics are manifested not through ritual but through simple will, rage and similar abilities do not interfere with manifesting as they do spellcasting. However, only powers that a) damage one’s foes or b) increase one’s own ability to damage one’s foes, may be manifested. This includes healing and defensive powers, since one cannot kill one’s enemy if one is dead.

Spellcasting and Manifesting Over Your Limits
Anyone who has any spellcasting or manifesting ability can theoretically cast or manifest a spell or power of any level and as many spells or powers as they want; the only question is how much planar energy the caster's mind and body can take. If you wish to attempt to cast a spell of a higher level than you could normally cast or in excess of your normal daily allotment of spells or powers, make a caster or manifester level check against DC 10 + the level of the spell or power you are attempting to cast or manifest. If the check succeeds, make a Fortitude save against DC 10 + 2 x the level of the spell or power you are attempting to cast or manifest + your key ability modifier - the level of the highest-level spell or power you can normally cast or manifest. If the saving throw fails, you fail to properly channel the planar energy, draw too much into yourself, and die in a gory explosion. If the saving throw succeeds, you channel the energy properly and in the right amount, but take 1d8 points of damage per spell or power level, forcing you to make a Fortitude save to avoid death from massive damage. (0th-level spells count as half a spell level for this purpose. Augmented powers can be manifested this way; for every 1 power point that you would have spent, add half of a power level.) If taking this damage would kill you, you die in a gory explosion. If you do not die, you cast the spell or manifest the power normally.

Bardic Spellcasting
If you have the Perform (dance) skill, your spells must include somatic components. If you have the Perform (acting, comedy, oratory, or singing) skill, your spells must include verbal components. If you have the Perform (keyboard, percussion, stringed, or wind instruments) skill, your spells must include the instrument of your choice as a focus component. This replaces the requirement that all bard spells have verbal components.

Returning from the Dead
In the multiverse of Tyrath, what happens after death is that the soul-energy of an individual joins the energy flows underlying the planar realities and travels to the Well of Souls in the planar realm of Scitayr, where they can be claimed by their patron deities or just left. Spells that raise the dead (other than revivify) must pull an individual's soul back from wherever it has reached on its journey, and on the way back, the soul may become intermingled with energies of another type. When you are the target of a raise dead, resurrection, or true resurrection spell or effect, roll on the following table:
{table="head"]% Roll|Result
01-50|No Special Effect: The spell functions normally as described in the PHB.
51-53|Touched by Air: You gain the Air subtype and the ability to cast gaseous form 1/day at CL equal to half your VD, rounded down.

66-68|Touched by Death: You gain the Negative subtype and the ability to cast inflict serious wounds 1/day at a CL equal to half your VD, rounded down.
69-70|Touched by Chaos: You gain the Chaotic subtype, and you also gain the ability to cast magic circle against law 1/day at CL equal to half your VD, rounded down.
71-72|Touched by Evil: You gain the Evil subtype, and you also gain the ability to cast magic circle against good 1/day at CL equal to half your VD, rounded down.
73-74|Touched by Good: You gain the Good subtype, and you also gain the ability to cast magic circle against evil 1/day at CL equal to half your VD, rounded down.
75-76|Touched by Law: You gain the Law subtype, and you also gain the ability to cast magic circle against chaos 1/day at CL equal to half your VD, rounded down.
77|Tattered Mind: You take 1 point of Intelligence damage. If you fail a DC 18 Will save, this becomes a permanent loss.
78|Tattered Will: You take 1 point of Wisdom damage. If you fail a DC 18 Will save, this becomes a permanent loss.
79|Tattered Spirit: You take 1 point of Charisma damage. If you fail a DC 18 Will save, this becomes a permanent loss.
80|Loss of Memory: You lose a rank in a single skill (DM's choice).
81-00|Fated to Death: Scitayr has decided that you cannot be returned to life by any means, not even wish or miracle, until and unless He can be persuaded to allow you to return to life.[/table]
Note that the above effects are cumulative from life to life.

Crystalline Termination

Level: Shaper 9
Display: Material, Visual
Manifesting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target: One creature
Duration: Instantaneous until discharged
Saving Throw: See text
Power Resistance: No
Power Points: 17

You create millions of microscopic crystals within the target's body. If it fails a Fortitude save, its body is infused with a countless number of minute crystalline blades, which initially have no harmful effect. However, as long as you are within 100 ft. of the target, you may, as a standard action, discharge the power and activate the crystals. They begin whirling around within the subject's body, destroying it from within. He takes 17d6 points of slashing damage, with a Fortitude save for half. Damage reduction applies to this damage, though the shards are treated as magic weapons for overcoming it. In addition, if he fails a second Fortitude save, he takes 2d6 points of Con damage as the shards lacerate his innards. If you do not discharge this power within 1 week/2 levels of manifesting it, the crystals are harmlessly absorbed into the subject's body.

Augment: For every additional power point spent, the slashing damage dealt increases by 1d6. For every two additional power points spent this way, the DC of this power increases by one, as does the Con damage dealt.

Cold:A cold arrow deals +1 point of damage. A creature struck by a cold arrow must make a Fortitude save or be blinded for 1 round.

This power’s subtype is the same as the type of energy you manifest.

Cold:A cold guillotine deals +1 point of damage per die.

Range: Touch
Target: Object touched
Duration: Permanent until discharged (D)
Saving Throw: See text
Power Resistance: Yes
Power Points: 5

Upon manifesting this power, you choose cold, electricity, fire, or sonic. You imbue the touched object with the chosen energy, turning it into an energy mine. You may choose to have the mine either be triggered by a delay or proximity. A delay-triggered mine detonates after a number of minutes chosen by you upon manifesting the power, which cannot exceed your manifester level. A proximity-triggered mine detonates whenever it is touched by a creature other than you or up to one creature per level you designate when manifesting the power. Once triggered, the energy mine explodes in a 10 ft. radius burst of energy, dealing 5d6 points of damage. A creature in the same square as the mine takes full damage with no save, as does the mine itself. All other creatures caught in the burst may make a Reflex save for half damage. This power’s subtype is the same as the type of energy you manifest.

Cold:A cold mine deals +1 point of damage per die. The saving throw to reduce damage from a cold mine is a Fortitude save instead of a Reflex save.

Electricity:Manifesting an electricity mine provides a +2 bonus to the save DC and a +2 bonus on manifester level checks for the purpose of overcoming power resistance.

Fire:A fire mine deals +1 point of damage per die.

Sonic:A sonic mine deals -1 point of damage per die and ignores an object’s hardness.

2. If you spend an additional 3 power points, your unarmed attacks gain the axiomatic trait, as for a magical or psionic weapon.
3. If you are lawful good or lawful evil and spend an additional 6 power points, your unarmed attacks gain not only the axiomatic trait but also the holy or unholy trait. This power gains the Good or Evil descriptor.

Saving Throw: Will negates
Power Resistance: Yes
Power Points: 1

The target becomes mentally fatigued (see the Rage Mage class description in Chapter 3). The mental fatigue caused by this power lasts only for this power's duration, and this power has no effect when used on someone who is already mentally fatigued.

Augment: You can augment this power in the following ways:
1. If you spend an additional 2 power points, this power no longer allows a saving throw.
2. If you spend an additional 2 power points, this power's duration becomes "Instantaneous" and the effects last until removed in the normal manner.
3. If you spend an additional 4 power points, this power causes the target to become mentally exhausted (see below) instead of mentally fatigued, and the saving throw entry becomes "Will partial", with a successful save meaning the target only becomes mentally fatigued, rather than mentally exhausted. If you augmented this power such that it no longer allows a saving throw in addition to this augmentation, then the portion of this augmentation relating to saving throws is negated.
4. If you spend an additional 4 power points, this power affects all creatures in a cone-shaped emanation.
Furthermore, for every 2 power points you spend augmenting this power, the save DC increases by 1.

Power Resistance: Yes
Power Points: 3

While concentrating, you contact your targets' minds and fill them with intense pain, dealing 3d4 points of damage each round to each target within range. The targets of this power get a new save every round that this power continues. If a target succeeds on a saving throw succeeds, this power ceases to affect that target.

Augment: For every additional power point you spend, this power deals an extra 1d4 points of damage per round to each target, and for every 2 dice of damage added, the save DC increases by 1.

Target: One creature
Duration: 1 hour/level
Saving Throw: Will negates

You inflame your subject’s mind with latent psychic stress. Though this power initially causes no harm, and has no obvious effects, whenever the subject manifests a power, casts a spell, or similar, the stress is triggered. He takes an amount of nonlethal damage equal to the level of the spell or power, and may have to make a Concentration check to avoid losing the power.

Augment: If you spend two additional power points, this power causes its subject to take lethal damage, rather than subdual damage.

You enter a state of meditation for 30 minutes. During this time, you are treated as being asleep, though you do not take the standard penalty on Listen checks. If you exit the trance before the duration of this power, it is discharged without effect. However, if you spend the whole thirty minutes in meditation, you are healed as if you had spent a night resting, and are cured of the fatigued and exhausted conditions if you are currently subject to them. You do not gain any other benefits of a night's sleep, such as regaining power points.

Augment: If you spend 1 additional power point, you may are healed of 1d4 points of ability damage to one ability score. If you spend 3 additional power points, you are cured of any diseases afflicting you. If you spend 5 additional power points, any poisons affecting you are neutralized, and you suffer no further effects from them. If you spend 10 additional power points, you are healed of any negative levels, ability damage, or ability drain effecting you. All these augmentations are cumulative.

Creatures immune to mind-affecting powers are damaged normally, but are immune to the confusion effect.

Augment: For every additional power point you spend, the damage dealt is increased by 1d6. For every two additional power points spent this way, the DC of this power increases by one and the duration of the confusion effect increases by one round.

Diseases

Fortuna's Bane (Natural):
Fort DC 1*; incubation period 1d4 weeks; 1d8 Con**.

Fortuna's Bane is a disease that first arose among prostitutes who worshipped the Goddess Fortuna. Though the *****-Priestesses and others did their best to wipe the disease out, it persists in the seediest of brothels in cities all over Tyrath. Saves against Fortuna's Bane need be made only once every month.

Succubitis (Supernatural):
Fort DC 1*; incubation period 2d4 days; 1d4 Int** and 1d4 Wis**, plus unslakeable lust***.

Succubitis is a disease that can only be contracted by consorting with succubi (or incubi). Only a few, rare succubi and incubi now carry the disease, since most of the disease-carriers were hunted down and wiped out by clerics of Maia and Fortuna, but regardless of whether they are carriers or not, all succubi (and incubi) are immune to its effects. It causes its sufferers to slowly lose control of their sex drive. Sufferers of succubitis need only save against the ability damage once per month; the unshakeable lust trait must be saved against whenever the trigger conditions are met. This disease can only be cured by a remove disease spell casts by a character with 18 caster levels. Creatures reduced to 0 Intelligence and 0 Wisdom by succubitis gain the lustdriven template, described in Chapter 10.

*Is not cured after the 3rd consecutive successful saving throw. Creatures who have intimate, unprotected contact with an infected creature take a -30 on their Fort saves to avoid infection.
**Make an additional Fort save against DC 10 or 1 point of this ability damage is permanent ability drain.
***Unslakeable Lust: A creature infected with succubitis, every time it sees a creature of appropriate race and gender, must make a Will save against DC 15. On a failure, the infected creature must attempt to mate with the target creature, regardless of current circumstances. If multiple creatures might trigger this quality at once, the infected creature targets the one with the highest Charisma. This is a mind-affecting compulsion effect.

Enemies: Mothga’s Waste, Yuan-ti Empire

The Elven Domain of Akashakyo is all that remains in the Mehrune region of a once-mighty elven nation that stretched from the Northern and Western Twilight Mountains to the Twin Peninsulas. Now the forested Elven Peninsula is the home of most elves in the Mehrune Region.

Law: LE
Allies: Mothga’s Waste
Enemies: Telca, Plateau Realm

The Emorian Empire has been separated from the Mehrune region for millennia by Mothga’s Wall and seeks to take over its region completely. The most resistant of its targets is Telca, a small island nation which nonetheless is home to fierce, if barbaric, human warrior-clans. The Empire dislikes the dwarves of the Plateau Realm, as it suspects the dwarves of supplying high-grade weaponry to the Telca. It has recently formed a pact with Mothga’s Wastes, pledging mutual military support. The Empire’s human majority is very racist in general, though the hobgoblins are viewed with some amount of respect by the military due to their martial prowess. Almost all of the hobgoblin population of Emor is in the military. Emorian gnomes and goblins are viewed as slaves.

Enkidu
Proper Name: United City-States of Enkidu, Krafdheubh, and the Province
Ruler: Her Honor, Elector Nishiko Mifune [LN female human Aristocrat 8]
Government: The Elector serves as ruler of the nation and is elected by popular vote throughout the nation for life or until abdication. There is a city council of 100 members, with representation allotted to each race according to the percentage of the total city population, and a High Council, similar to the city council but with membership allotted according to the percentages of the nation as a whole. Krafdheubh is more or less autonomous, controlled by a council of elders who owe fealty to Enkidu.
Cities: Enkidu (M); Krafdheubh (LC), Adaun (LC), Queme (LT), Fort Vigilant (ST)
Resources: Metals (iron, copper, silver, gold, platinum, mithral, cold iron, adamantine [latter three not usally exported as raw materials]), gems (I-IV, including pearls), dwarven spirits, elven wines, shipbuilding services, metalwork, land and sea trade nexus (Note: The Enkidu peninsula possesses very little in the way of raw materials except for the mines of Krafdheubh; it is primarily a mercantile and industrial city where goods are traded and sold and raw materials worked into finished products; there is also a large number of professional tradespeople in the city. The Province, on the other hand, is very agricultural and provides food for the peninsula cities), foodstuffs
Population: 38.9% human, 17.1% elf, 14.2% half-elf, 13.7% gnome, 10.5% dwarf, 2.9% half-orc, 1.9% other races.
Law: NG
Allies: Southern Kingdom, Mehrune, Akashakyo, Plateau Realm
Enemies: Mothga’s Waste, Yuan-ti Empire

Enkidu City was founded by refugees fleeing the war-torn Kingdom of Mehrune in year 7060 of the elven calendar. Ten years later, having established themselves as a rising center of trade and achieved friendly relations with those already living there, they provided aid to a newly started dwarven mine in repelling an assault by forces of Neo-Penumbra. Since then, Enkidu City and Krafdheubh have risen in prominence. After fifteen years of fighting in the Yuan-ti War, Enkidu acquired a large portion of territory across the Mehrune Strait, consisting of the former Principality of Mehrune, which is now called “the Province”. The capital of the formr Principality, Adaun, now serves as the regional capital of the Province.

Chapter 10: Monsters and NPCs

All NPCs represented here who appeared in The Tapestry of Fate: A Heart Divided are presented with statistics for their earliest appearance in the book. In some cases, advancement guides are provided. (Yes, I am aware of the numerous typos and the need to provide more fleshed-out flavor text. I'm working on it)

Battle Automatons

The Battle Automatons are similar in appearance to the Warforged that replaced them later on in the Yuan-ti War, though their construction is much bulkier and less organic-looking. The Battle Automaton series got progressively less blocky and more rounded with each model, so that the Mk. IIXs are visually nearly indistinguishable from Warforged. The models were developed on a yearly basis, so the Mk. I was introduced at the end of 7603, the Mk. II was released at the end of 7604, and so on.

As you walk through the woods, you suddenly feel a strange sense of happiness and contentment drawing you toward a plant not ten yards from where you stand. It is a viny plant bedecked with fragrant, deep red flowers. You breathe deeply, savoring the enchanting scent, and feel yourself slipping into a blissful stupor...

Aura of Bliss (Ex): The bliss vine exudes sweet-smelling pheremones in a 30-foot radius of itself. These pheremones are an airborne toxin with a Fortitude save DC of 15. Those who fail the save feel attracted to the the bliss vine as if under the effects of the attraction (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/powers/attraction.htm) power. This lasts for 1 minute. After the minute has ended, the creature must make another Fortitude save against DC 15. Those who fail the save are disabled and do not perceive the bliss vine or its actions as threatening, while success indicates that they are merely disabled. These effects last for 1d10 rounds. The save DC is Constitution-based. This is a mind-affecting, compulsion, and poison effect that operates only in the spring and summer. The durations of effects already in place continue after the bliss vine's demise. Note that while the effects of this ability are similar to certain psionic and magical effects, the ability is nonpsionic and nonmagical and thus not subject to defenses against magic.
Constrict (Ex): A bliss vine deals 1d6+7 points of damage with a successful grapple check.
Entangle (Su): A bliss vine can animate plants within 30 feet of itself as a free action (Ref DC 13 partial). The effect lasts until the vine dies or decides to end it (also a free action). The save DC is Wisdom-based. The ability is otherwise similar to entangle (caster level 4th).
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a bliss vine must hit with its slam attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can constrict.
Blindsight (Ex): Bliss vines have no visual organs but can ascertain all foes within 30 feet using sound, scent, and vibration.
Camouflage (Ex): Since a bliss vine looks like a normal plant when at rest, it takes a DC 20 Spot check to notice it before it attacks. Anyone with ranks in Survival or Knowledge (nature) can use one of those skills instead of Spot to notice the plant.

The bliss vine is a relative of the assassin vine. However, unlike its cousin, the bliss vine prefers to lure its prey to it with its pheromonal powers. Once an animal or humanoid has succumbed to its aura of bliss, it kills its victims and feeds on their corpses. In the fall, its seeds can be harvested and made into poisons.


The Children of Destiny
The Children of Destiny are an adventuring team from Seven Paths. They are regarded as the best team the school has yet trained, owing at least something to the fact that three of its five members are the Seven's children.

Aerin is the daughter of Kenji and Mariko Hitomi. Her unusual red-gold hair color is the result of Mariko's magical exposure to elemental fire, the same exposure that granted Mariko her arcane powers. She is quite tall, standing 6"1', and she weighs 205 lb. She has her mothers violet eyes.

Thamas is a tall, burly man who’s put on a bit of weight in his middle age. He stands 5’11” and weighs 224lb.; his eyes are brown, and his hair a silvering brown. He is a jovial, good-natured man whom most take a great liking to; unfortunately, he was born with a disfigured upper lip which is moderately unpleasant to look at. The disfigurement impeded his speech greatly when he was younger; but he worked hard to overcome the impediment. It is now barely noticeable, except when he becomes preoccupied or excited, when it reasserts itself. If a fight breaks out, his favored tactic is to leap feet first over the bar and smash into the combatants.

At 5’5” and 132lb., Nakuyo looks like a scaled-up, younger version of her mother, except for one detail. Unfortunately, she was born with the same disfigurement of her upper lip as her father, so while her body is quite alluring and her personality quite likable, she is less attractive than she would otherwise be. She usually works in the main bar area.

This scholarly elf loves gossip almost as much as he loves ancient history and esoteric knowledge. He doesn’t spread much gossip himself, but he always keeps his keen ears open for whatever he might hear. He also has a good heart, as demonstrated by the fact that he and his wife adopted the mysterious, orphaned infant Nintari Goju brought to them and raised him as their own. When they first met, Kenin had difficulty pronouncing his future wife’s name correctly, and it has now become something of a pet name. While most say “Calli” with the same “a” as in “cat”, Kenin says “Cali” with the same “a” as in “swat”.

Kenin Osari’s wife has an even greater love of ancient history and esoteric knowledge than he does. She’s not entirely sure how she ended up helping her husband run a general store, but she’s grateful that the regular visits from adventurers means there are always aged curios and artifacts to examine. She is unfortunately clumsy, but in a disarming and endearing way. She’s better at negotiating than her husband, and so does most of the haggling. She named Iames. She has never tried her hand at producing forged documents of her own, but she has studied the art in order to be able to spot imitations of her beloved ancient texts.

This dwarf’s first loyalty is to Mariko; he serves as her personal armorer and, by extension, as the armorer for all of the Seven. He is very fond of Aerin and often bestows upon her little trinkets that he has made. His manner is gruff and blunt but friendly, and he likes to hear stories of students’ adventures; after listening, he will explain precisely how you fell short, mutter an apology (if he likes you) and then declare loudly, “But ‘tis the truth, by Bella’s blade, and the truth must be told!” Nikov stands 4’2” and weighs in at a solid 170lb.; his eyes are stone-gray, and his hair and beard coal-black.

Marthyn, as he is known to most at Seven Paths, is awidower whose wife was killed many years ago while performing alchemical experiments. His children, Lia and Eldon, were too young at the time to remember the event, and they attend the school. Unfortunately, the salvageable remains weren’t enough to be raised, and Marthyn doesn’t have enough money to buy one of the more potent spells of resurrection. He hasn’t told his children how their mother died, and the Seven remain unaware of his troubles; if they knew, they would happily cast the necessary spell free of charge. Marthyn still grieves in the dead of night, and he has lately begun to dabble in necromancy. Ever since the accident, he has been irrationally frightened of performing any sort of alchemical experiment, although he will craft any standardal chemical item. He is 3’5” tall and weighs 45lb. His eyes are blue and his hair black. He mutters to himself constantly and is easily startled. Whenever a student who is studying alchemy with him begins to experiment, he becomes highly agitated, wringing his hands and shouting frantically for them to stop. He currently has no familiar.

When the Dark Lord’s armies retreated back over the mountains into Mothga’s Wastes from Krafdheubh, they left a female infant behind. A family of human tanners took her in, raised her, and taught her their trade. Having felt unwelcome in the dawrven city, dwarves having notoriously long memories and an unparalleled ability to hold grudges, Wyra struck out on her own, eventually ending up at Seven Paths, where she is treated, for the most part, without regard to her race. She is 5’6” and weighs 201lb.

Aura of Courage (Su): As long as the Warforged Priest is conscious, all its allies within 10 feet (including itself) gain a +4 morale bonus on saving throws against fear effects.

This Warforged has learned how to modulate its abilities so as not to overwhelm the students at Seven Paths. Depending on the level of the students they will be facing, it can restrict itself to using 1st-level, 2nd-level, or its full 3rd-level abilities. Her name is Firebrand, and her number is V-908.

Imbue Staff: Quill has chosen to imbue his staff with magic rather than summon a familiar. He can cast light 1/day and repair minor damage 1/day from the staff, and the staff can be used to deliver touch spells. Both heads of the staff function as +1 weapons when wielded by Quill. The staff has Hardness 5 and 15 WP.

Quill runs the Seven Paths library. In response to Nokatsu’s attitude, he has begun insisting on being referred to as “he”. He assists students and alumni in their research and will identify one magic item every day for free. Tome, Quill’s assistant, has identical statistics, and will likewise identify an item everyday. Tome’s numerical designator is V-385. Quill and Tome were training to be intelligence officers for a front-line Warfoged unit when the Yuan-ti War ended unexpectedly. When the Treaty of Queme gave them the option to leave the Enkiduan Army, they leapt at the chance and ended up working at Seven Paths.

Negative Touch (Ex): A death elemental can make a melee touch attack to deliver a charge of negative energy that deals damage equal to the death elemental's Constitution modifier + the death elemental's Hit Dice. Undead and other creatures that are healed by negative energy can be granted temporary hp by this ability, but every round that they have temporary hp from this ability, they must make a Fortitude save (DC equal to the number of temporary hp). Failing the save results in explosive death. A death elemental cannot grant itself temporary hp in this way. Unlike most forms of temp hp, temp hp from this ability stacks with itself.
Entropic Growth (Ex): Death elementals can grow in power by absorbing negative energy. Inflict spells and effects, as well as other spells and effects employing negative energy, can grant a life elemental temporary hp in excess of its normal hp. Every 8 temporary hp gained in this way grants the life elemental a bonus Hit Die, which disappears after 1 hour. Spells such as energy drain do not affect death elementals in the normal way, instead granting them a bonus Hit Die for every level that would have been drained.
Lifesense (Ex): A death elemental can detect the life force of all creatures around it within a radius of 60 feet, including undead. A death elemental knows the location, HD, and current hp of all beings within 60 feet of itself.
Negative subtype: Creatures with the Negative subtype are healed by inflict spells and harmed by cure spells. Spells and effects employing positive energy deal 50% more damage to a death elemental on a failed save.

Positive Touch (Ex): A life elemental can make a melee touch attack to deliver a charge of positive energy that heals damage equal to the life elemental's Constitution modifier + the life elemental's Hit Dice. This ability can grant temporary hp like the fast healing granted by the Positive Energy Plane, but the Fortitude DC is equal to the number of temporary hp the creature has. A life elemental cannot grant itself temporary hp using this ability. Unlike most forms of temp hp, temp hp from this ability stacks with itself.
Life's Growth (Ex): Life elementals can grow in power by absorbing positive energy. Cure spells and effects, as well as other spells and effects employing positive energy, can grant a life elemental temporary hp in excess of its normal hp. Every 8 temporary hp gained in this way grants the life elemental a temporary Hit Die, which disappears after 1 hour. Temporary HD grant all the benefits of normal HD, except hp. A life elemental can only ever have a number of temporary HD equal to the number of normal HD it possesses.
Lifesense (Ex): A life elemental can detect the life force of all creatures around it within a radius of 60 feet, including undead. A life elemental knows the location, HD, and current hp of all beings within 60 feet of itself.
Positive subtype: The fast healing granted by major positive-dominant planes does not grant life elementals temporary hp. Spells and effects employing negative energy deal 50% more damage to a life elemental on a failed save.

Fortuna’s Hands

Fortuna’s Hands is the name of the adventuring group that Iames Osari met while traveling in the Province. After their shared experiences created a bond of trust, Iames came to regard them as friends and valuable allies, calling on them for help in the future.

Iames Osari, the Child of Passion

Iames was born to a nomadic human tribe of Mothga’s Wastes. Orphaned, he was rescued by the Seven and brought to Enkidu City, where he was adopted and raised by the Osari family. He played often with Aerin, Kira, and Kael, and ended up joining Seven Paths Academy with them.

Child of Passion:
Fractured Mind (Ex): For reasons not quite understood but definitely related to his being the Child of Passion, Iames has three distinct splinter personalities: the Dark, the Light, and "just-Iames". The Dark (CE Telepath) and the Light (NG Wilder) are intensifications of Iames's sadistic, predatory instincts and his loving, compassionate nature, respectively, while "just-Iames", the primary personality, is everything else. Since each splinter personality shares the others' experiences, the Dark's and the Light's class levels advance in step with "just-Iames's"; however, Iames gains only 80% of the normal number of experience points. For the purposes of determining base attack bonus, save bonuses, and VD, use "just-Iames's" class level. Each splinter personality has its own mental ability scores, skills, feats, and languages, which are marked (D) for the Dark and (L) for the Light. Unmarked ability scores, skills, and feats are "just-Iames's". Iames's Challenge Rating is equal to 1.5 x Vitality Dice (round down) + 2. Iames can switch between splinter personalities as a free action. When Iames is subject to a schism effect, his mind splits into three parts, and he does not suffer any loss of ML.
Cherished Memory (Su): Once per day as a full-round action which provokes attacks of opportunity, Iames can copy and absorb part of another being's psyche. In order to do so, Iames must establish physical and telepathic contact with his intended target and maintain contact for the round. Iames must then make a Concentration check against DC 20. If the check fails or the physical or telepathic contact is broken, the attempt fails and the ability is spent for the day. His target then makes a Will save against a DC of 10 + 1/2 Iames's VD + Iames the Light's Charisma modifier. Unconscious and/or dying targets automatically fail their Will saves. If the target's Will save fails, Iames can copy one of the following from the target's mind:
• A feat possessed by the target which A) Iames does not possess, B) stacks with itself, or C) pertains to a different skill or weapon than the feat Iames already possesses. Iames need not meet any prerequisites of the feat in order to absorb it, though he cannot use the feat until he meets the prerequistes, as normal.
• A skill possessed by the target. Iames gains ranks in that skill equal to the difference between the target's ranks and the ranks he currently possesses, but only up to the maximum number of ranks in that skill that he could normally possess.
• A psionic power known by the target and of a level that Iames can manifest, even if it is from another class and/or specialty.
Channel Passion (Su): As the Child of Passion, Iames is capable of psionically channeling pure positive energy or pure negative energy when manifesting an energy power. Positive (or negative) energy deals +3 points of damage per die to undead (or living) creatures, while living (or undead) creatures are healed an equivalent amount. Any amount healed in excess of a creature's normal HP is added to HP as temporary HP. Each round in which a creature has temporary HP as a result of receiveing positive or negative energy in this way, that creature must make a Fortitude save against a DC equal to the difference between their normal HP and their current HP. On a failed save, the creature explodes due to an overload of energy and is dead. For the purposes of detect evil and similar spells, Iames possesses auras as if he were an outsider. Finally, as an embodiment of the power of passion, Iames's wild surge, surging euphoria, and volatile mind abilities function 1 point higher than normal, and his psychic enervation ability is modified as follows: instead of becoming dazed and losing power points, Iames may choose to take 1d8 points of damage per manifester level added. Iames’s manifester level is equal to his HD plus his divine rank; he does not add his divine rank as a bonus on manifester level checks.
Epic Destiny (Su): Once the conditions laid out by the Prophecy of the Child of Passion are fulfilled, Iames gains divine rank 21. The resulting changes in Iames's statistics are not incorporated into these statistics.

Jiro Kimura
Jiro Kimura was a young, up-and-coming politician in Enkidu City when he married Hana Zohar, the sister of Ossian Zohar, the head of the influential House Zohar. Between the influence of his brother-in-law and his own charisma, he managed to attain the office of the Elector of Enkidu while still fairly young. Unfortunately, Ossian, transformed into a vampire by a dark ritual, tried to gain greater control of the city-state by biting his brother-in-law at a social function. He succeeded in draining enough blood to begin the transformation into a vampire, but the Seven interrupted the transformation and slew Ossian and Karanette was able to perform a ritual that preserved Kimura's goodness. Kimura resumed his duties after promising to lay down the lifetime appointment of the Electorship in 5 years. After his resignation, he took over House Zohar, now renamed House Kimura, and began using its wealth to contribute to the war effort, finding enough spare time and funds to start a small private library.
