Class Abilities

Warblade 7

+ Weapon and Armor Proficiency:

You are proficient with simple and martial melee weapons (including those that can be used as thrown weapons), light and medium armor, and all shields except tower shields.

+ Maneuvers:

You begin your career with knowledge of three martial maneuvers. The disciplines available to you are Diamond Mind, Iron Heart, Stone Dragon, Tiger Claw,and White Raven.

Once you know a maneuver, you can use it (see Maneuvers per Encounter, below). A maneuver usable by warblades is considered an extraordinary ability unless otherwise noted in its description. Your maneuvers are not affected by spell resistance, and you do not provoke attacks of opportunity when you initiate one. You learn additional maneuvers at higher levels, as shown on the above table. You must meet a maneuver’s prerequisite to learn it. See details on Blade Magic or the bottom of this page.

Upon reaching 4th level, and at every even-numbered warblade level after that (6th, 8th, 10th, and so on), you can choose to learn a new maneuver in place of one you already know. In effect, you lose the old maneuver in exchange for the new one. You can choose a new maneuver of any level you like, as long as you observe your restriction on the highest-level maneuvers you know; you need not replace
the old maneuver with a maneuver of the same level. For example, upon reaching 10th level, you could trade in a single 1st-, 2nd-, 3rd- or 4th-level maneuver for a maneuver of 5th level or lower, as long as you meet the prerequisite of the new maneuver. You can swap only a single maneuver at any given level.

+ Maneuvers Per Encounter:

You can use all three of the maneuvers you know at 1st level, but as you advance in level and learn more maneuvers, you must choose which maneuvers to use. You begin an encounter with all your maneuvers unexpended, regardless of how many times you might have already used them before. When you initiate a maneuver, you expend it for the current encounter, so each of your maneuvers can be used once per encounter (until you recover them, as described below).
You can recover all expended maneuvers with a single swift action, which must be immediately followed in the same round with a melee attack or using a standard action to do nothing else in the round (such as executing a quick, harmless flourish with your weapon). You cannot initiate a maneuver or change your stance while you are recovering your expended maneuvers, but you can remain in a stance in which you began your turn.

+ Stances Known:

You begin play with knowledge of one 1st level stance from any discipline open to warblades. At 4th, 10th, and 16th level, you can choose additional stances. Unlike maneuvers, stances are not expended, and you do not have to ready them. All the stances you know are available to you at all times, and you can change the stance you are currently using as a swift action. A stance is an extraordinary ability unless otherwise stated in the stance description. Unlike with maneuvers, you cannot learn a new stance at higher levels in place of one you already know.

+ Battle Clarity (Ex):

You can enter a state of almost mystical awareness of the battlefield around you. As long as you are not fl at-footed, you gain an insight bonus equal to your Intelligence bonus (maximum equals your Warblade level) on your Reflex saves.

 + Weapon Aptitude (Ex):

Your training with a wide range of weaponry and tactics gives you great skill with particular weapons. You qualify for feats that usually require a minimum number of fighter levels (such as Weapon Specialization) as if you had a fighter level equal to your warblade level –2. For example, as a 6th-level warblade, you could take Weapon Specialization, since you’re treated as being a 4th-level fighter for this purpose. These effective fighter levels stack with any actual fighter levels you have. Thus, a fighter 2/warblade 4 would also qualify for Weapon Specialization. You also have the flexibility to adjust your weapon training. Each morning, you can spend 1 hour in weapon practice to change the designated weapon for any feat you have that applies only to a single weapon (such as Weapon Focus).

You must have the newly designated weapon available during your practice session to make this change. For example, if you wish to change the
designated weapon for your Weapon Focus feat from greatsword to longsword, you must have a longsword available to practice with during your practice session. You can adjust any number of your feats in this way, and you don’t have to adjust them all in the same way. However, you can’t change the weapon choices in such a way that you no longer meet the prerequisite for some other feat you possess. For instance, if you have both Weapon Focus (longsword) and Weapon Specialization (longsword), you can’t change the designated weapon for Weapon Focus unless you also change the weapon for Weapon Specialization in the same way.

+ Uncanny Dodge (Ex):

At 2nd level, you gain the ability to react to danger before your senses would normally allow you to do so. You retain your Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) even if you are caught flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker. However, you still lose your Dexterity bonus to AC if you are immobilized. If you already have uncanny dodge from a different class (barbarian or rogue, for example), you automatically gain improved uncanny dodge (see below) instead.

+ Battle Ardor (Ex):

The sheer love of battle lends uncanny strength to your blows. Starting at 3rd level, you gain an insight bonus equal to your Intelligence bonus on rolls made to confirm critical hits.

+ Bonus Feat:

At 5th level, you gain a bonus feat from the list given below. You must meet the prerequisite for the feat you select. Every four levels thereafter (at 9th, 13th, and 17th level), you choose another bonus feat from the list.

Feat Options: Acrobatic, Agile, Athletic, Blind-Fight, Combat Reflexes, Diehard, Endurance, Great Fortitude, Improved Initiative, Iron Will, Lightning Reflexes, Quick Draw, Run.

+ Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex):

At 6th level and higher, you can no longer be flanked; you can react to opponents on opposite sides of you as easily as you can react to a single attacker. This defense denies a rogue the ability to sneak attack the barbarian by flanking him, unless the attacker has at least four more rogue levels than the target has levels that provide the uncanny dodge ability (all classes that provide uncanny dodge stack to determine the minimum rogue level required to sneak attack someone with improved uncanny dodge.

+ Battle Cunning (Ex):

Your instinct for seizing the moment gives you a signifi cant advantage over foes unprepared for your attack. At 7th level, you gain an insight bonus equal to your Intelligence bonus on melee damage rolls against flat-footed or flanked opponents.

Battlesmith 3

+ Weapon and Armor Proficiency:

Battlesmiths gain no proficiency with any weapon or armor.

+ One with the Hammer (Ex):

A battlesmith’s long hours at the forge grant him a special bond with a hammer. When wielding a dwarven battlehammer that he has crafted himself, a battlesmith adds her Wisdom bonus as a bonus to the damage dealt by the weapon.

+ Secrets of the Forge (Ex):

A battlesmith learns some of the great dwarven secrets of forging weapons and armor. A battlesmith receives Craft Magic Arms and Armor as a bonus feat, regardless of her caster level. Multiply the battle smith’s class level by 3 to determine her effective caster level for the purpose of creating magic arms and armor (this benefit stacks with any other caster levels the battlesmith might have).

For example, a 7th-level fighter/1st-level Battlesmith would be treated as a 3rd-level caster for the purpose of creating magic arms and armor. A 7th-level cleric/1stlevel battlesmith would be treated as a 10th-level caster for that purpose. The Battlesmith must still meet any other prerequisites for the item’s creation. This stipulation might mean that she needs the assistance of other characters to complete the creation of an item.

+ Flesh of My Flesh (Ex):

No armor fits so well as that created by a battlesmith for her own use. When wearing heavy armor that she has crafted herself, a battlesmith of 2nd level or higher gains a +1 sacred bonus to Armor Class. This bonus increases to +2 at 4th level.

+ Forged in Fire (Ex):

At 3rd level, a battlesmith becomes inured to the effects of fatigue and exhaustion, and can ignore their effects for a number of hours equal to her class level. At the end of this time, if the condition remains, the battlesmith succumbs to the effects.

Paragon Item

Animum Humani Creatio

Description:

The Animum Humani Creatio is a device made of an unknown alloy containing a very specialized version of SOLAI's programming. The fabrication machine is roughly 20 feet long by 10 feet high by 5 feet wide with a control panel on the side to allow for the input of design schematics. Once properly set up, the fabrication machine is able to accept design schematics and once the necessary pieces are placed into the machine's hopper, the fabrication machine makes the necessary shaping and assembly according to the schematics input into the control panel. The assembled piece is then ejected from the other side, ready for final touches. The end result is that the person who controls this machine is capable of getting a weeks worth of work complete in only a single day. This device is currently protected in such a manner so that only Rodur is capable of activating and using it thanks to some instruction from SOLAI's program embedded within the device.

Mechanics:

The wielder of this magi-tech artifact is capable of making daily craft checks and having the result count in gold pieces instead of silver in terms of progress toward the completion of the item. This does not affect enchanting items, only items created through the use of the craft skill. In addition, Rodur is well aware of what effect this device could have on Therafim's economy and thus takes great steps to safeguard it. Because of this, he refuses to make a massive profit off of making items and selling them directly back to the market. This limitation means that Rodur must either make items to be used by him, or used by other PC's who order items from him. These items can not be immediately sold back to the market for a profit.

Background

Character History:

Rodur was born and raised in a citadel housed in Deepforge, in the mountains of Summerland. Ever since he was old enough to wield his first weapon he decided to train in the arts of the warblade. Rodur's father you see, was of importance in the military, and always taught his son everything that he had learned during his years of commanding others in battle. There was another reason that Rodur always put his best foot forward in his training however…

Ever since Rodur was little, he had a friend by the name of Rhea Steelheart. The pair grew up together, facing many childhood challenges as one single invincible team. This continued until the day Rhea was called into Mordain's clergy and left to a place where Rodur could not follow. Ever since that day he trained harder than ever, assured somewhere in the back of his mind that one day they would meet again. The invincible team would be reunited. He would be her sword, and she would be his shield. The pair would stride forth together into the wide open world, seeking adventure and glory for their homeland.

It was not until he learned through some third-hand delivered news that Rhea had left for her own adventure that Rodur soon did the same. With the blessings of his father, who felt he had no more to teach his son Rodur Ogrecrusher was sent out into the wide open world. His first stop? Avalon… The hub of adventurers.

He wasn't quite sure if he would meet Rhea there, but it was as good a place as any to start…

Questionaire

A: Appearance

1) Describe yourself as someone meeting you for the first time would see you. (Race?, Gender?, Age?, Size? Coloration? Attractiveness?, Dress? Do you try to emphasize or hide any of these features?)

Rodur is a dwarf a little over 4 feet tall. He is bald, with a black beard hanging down to his chest, and sharp blue eyes. He is average in terms of looks and appears to be in his mid 40's. Rodur dresses normally when not preparing for battle, and is generally seen in a simple shirt and breeches and boots. When working the forge he accompanies this with a smith's apron and a pair of goggles over his eyes to protect his sight from stray embers and sparks. When preparing for battle Rodur dons his adamantium armor, and can be seen carrying around a dwarven battlehammer made out of adamantium.

2) What other details would someone notice on a closer look? (Distinguishing marks, birthmarks, scars, etc?)

Nothing that would be overly noticable

3) Do you have a distinctive way of speaking or any other mannerisms or memorable behavior?

Since there are not many dwarves around, Rodur's general dwarven accent tends to be memorable.

B: Birth and Family

1) Where and when were you born? (Also good to include: Do you know your exact birthdate? Did anything unusual (storms, accidents, deaths, etc?) happen about the same time, with which some people might still associate your birthdate?)

Rodur was born in Deepforge on the 3rd week of the 6th month. Nothing unusual that anyone would associate anything with occurred on his birth.

2) Who are your parents? (Names, Occupations, Social class, Were they married?, Are they still alive? are all good things to include)

Father: Morel Ogrecrusher, Military General, Middle Class, Still alive and married to -
Mother: Tholid Ogrecrusher, Smith, Middle Class, Still alive

3) Do you have any siblings? (If so, it would be good to describe them as you did your parents above.)

Reis Ogrecrusher: Unknown, Reis appeared to go missing a few years back and has not been seen since.

4) Do you know any members of your extended family? (grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins? Also would be good to describe them as above)

Rodur does try to write and keep in touch with his various extended family as best as he can manage, but a dwarf's family line can live long and extend out very wide, so its difficult to list -everyone- of them that are still alive

5) How did you get along with your family?

Rodur is still on good terms with his family, though his little sister Reis tended to get on his nerves.

C: Education and Work

1) Did you serve an apprenticeship in order to learn your current profession/class? For how long?

Rodur apprenticed under both his mother (to learn the forge) and his father (to learn the art of the warblade) ever since he could walk and hold a weapon.

N/A

3) Who was your master or teacher? (Race? Gender? Appearance? Personality?) Is he/she still alive? How were you treated? Are/Were you on good terms with your master?

Rodur's father was his teacher in learning the art of the warblade, while his mother was his teacher at the forge. He was treated well, but fairly. If he screwed up he was punished, if he did well he was praised. He is still on good terms with both of his parents.

4) Did your teacher have any other apprentices or students? Who were they? Did you get along?

Unless they taught Reis things without Rodur knowing about it, then they had no other students.

5) Due to the rarity of literacy in this setting, how important are books, writings, letters, ect. to your character? Regardless as to whether or not he/she can read?

Books are quite important, they hold knowledge that might otherwise be lost or misinterpreted.

6) Do you have a job other than "adventurer"? Who do you work for? How much of your time does this require?

Rodur also works as a weapon and armor smith. Right now he currently rents a forge in the marketplace area of Avalon while he makes his own weapon (completed) and armor (still working on it). Any time he is not out adventuring, or helping Rhea at the temple, he can be found at the forge working on some project or another.

3) Who is/was your best friend? What is the most memorable thing that the two of you ever did together?

Rhea is still Rodur's best friend, and one memorable event in particular was when they had located a natural hotspring on Rhea's property.

Rodur has probably always been in love, even if he did not realize it at such a young age. His closeness with Rhea developed into a very strong friendship when they were children, and after they were separated by Rhea's calling to venture into Moradin's clergy Rodur applied himself vigorously to his training, knowing that they would eventually come back together to reform the inseparable team. It was only after Rodur left for Avalon, chasing after Rhea, did he realize that he had developed deeper feelings for her. After gathering his courage once they had met up once again within Avalon, he asked her permission to court her. She accepted, and they are currently a couple.

Lie: Try not to, but its a case by case thing.

5) Please describe your characters general background, this may be any length you wish, but at least one paragraph. You may use any or all of the information above, or new information not covered. (Encouraged)

Rodur was born and raised in a citadel housed in Deepforge, in the mountains of Summerland. Ever since he was old enough to wield his first weapon he decided to train in the arts of the warblade. Rodur's father you see, was of importance in the military, and always taught his son everything that he had learned during his years of commanding others in battle. There was another reason that Rodur always put his best foot forward in his training however…

Ever since Rodur was little, he had a friend by the name of Rhea Steelheart. The pair grew up together, facing many childhood challenges as one single invincible team. This continued until the day Rhea was called into Mordain's clergy and left to a place where Rodur could not follow. Ever since that day he trained harder than ever, assured somewhere in the back of his mind that one day they would meet again. The invincible team would be reunited. He would be her sword, and she would be his shield. The pair would stride forth together into the wide open world, seeking adventure and glory for their homeland.

It was not until he learned through some third-hand delivered news that Rhea had left for her own adventure that Rodur soon did the same. With the blessings of his father, who felt he had no more to teach his son Rodur Ogrecrusher was sent out into the wide open world. His first stop? Avalon… The hub of adventurers.

He wasn't quite sure if he would meet Rhea there, but it was as good a place as any to start…
