REDEEMER



“People who claim that they're evil are usually no worse than the rest of us... It's people who claim that they're good, or any way better than the rest of us, that you have to be wary of.”

Redeemers are Half-Goblins dedicated to fighting Evil, particularly Evil Humanoids. But they fight in less of a "kill em all and let the Gods sort em out" aense, and more from a sincere belief that anyone can be reformed given enough time.

Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Identical to the Rogue ability of the same name listed in the PHB.

Superior Uncanny Dodge (Ex): You do not lose your Dexterity Bonus to AC, and are immune to being flanked.

PLAYING A REDEEMER
You work to save the Goblinoids from themselves, and from their evil gods most of all. You feel certain if you could turn the races from Maglubiyet you could bring them around to a better life.
Combat: You are dedicated to fighting Evil. It is literally your life's work.
Advancement: Your advancement is largely left to the winds of chance. You train in whats available, when it's needed.
Resources: Unless you can find a fairly liberal patron, you're reduced to whatever scraps you can find.

REDEEMERS IN THE WORLD
"HEY (beeeeeeeep)!"
Redeemers are always the focus of controversy. Goblins and other primarily evil humanoids see you as opponents trying to bring down their religion. Other humanoid see you as apologists for those races because you insist not all of them are Evil. And then there's the racists. It's like some days when you just can't win.
Daily Life: Your days are busy. There's barely even enough time for training.
Notables:
Organizations: The Redeemers are a social organization attempting to become something like an Order of Knights. Their focus is on social justice and stopping both bigotry, and the excesses of the Goblinoid religion that presses for war.

NPC Reaction
You're the low guy on the totem pole no matter where you go. The Goblins hate you, the non-Goblins hate you. Any day you aren't the target of a mob is a good day.

REDEEMERS IN THE GAME
This class assumes the PC is a member of a hated minority, which may be triggery for some.
Adaptation: This assumes Goblins are evil, and are prolific enough to have mixed race children. Your campaign may not fit thiis.
Encounters: Redeemers are encountered where ever Goblins or anti-goblinoid prejudice occur.

Sample Encounter
EL 12: The PC's encounter a group of Goblins fighting some sort of warrior, and intervene on his half. Turns out he's somewhat Goblin-ish himeslf.
