Description

Voss is a tall (for his race), thin dwarf, with ashen skin. His beard is white and unruly, curly with occasional sharp quills no longer than a fingernail. Pale gray they would almost blend in with his beard, were the tips not inky violet-almost black. He has no hair on his head, and oddly none on his heavy brow that shades his beady eyes. When he laughs he shows a mouth of too many teeth, none of them sharp but all of them crooked. Its never bright bar laughter among fellows, but a wheezey cackle that shows amusement at the misfortune of others.

Class Abilities:

+ show block

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Beguilers are proficient with all simple weapons plus the hand crossbow, rapier, shortbow, and short sword. Beguilers are proficient with light armor, but not with shields.

Spells: A beguiler casts arcane spells, which are drawn from the beguiler spell list. When you gain access to a new level of spells, you automatically know all the spells for that level on the beguiler’s spell list. You can cast any spell you know without preparing it ahead of time. Essentially, your spell list is the same as your spells known list. You also have the option of adding to your existing spell list through your advanced learning class feature (see below) as you increase in level. To cast a beguiler spell, you must have an Intelligence score of 10 + the spell’s level (Int 10 for 0-level spells, Int 11 for 1st-level spells, and so forth). The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a beguiler’s spell is 10 + the spell’s level + the beguiler’s Int modifier. Like other spellcasters, a beguiler can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. The base daily spell allotment is given on the table. In addition, you receive bonus spells for a high Intelligence score (PH 8). A beguiler need not prepare spells in advance. You can cast any spell you know at any time, assuming you have not yet used up your spells per day for that spell level.

Armored Mage (Ex): Normally, armor of any type interferes with an arcane spellcaster’s gestures, which can cause your spells to fail if those spells have a somatic component. A beguiler’s limited focus and specialized training, however, allow you to avoid any chance of arcane spell failure as long as you restrict yourself to light armor. This training does not extend to any other form of armor, nor does this ability apply to spells gained from other spellcasting classes.

Trapfinding: Beguilers can use the Search skill to locate traps when the task has a Difficulty Class higher than 20. Finding a nonmagical trap has a DC of at least 20, or higher if it is well hidden. Finding a magic trap has a DC of 25 + the level of the spell used to create it. Beguilers can use the Disable Device skill to disarm magic traps. A magic trap typically has a DC of 25 + the level of the spell used to create it. A beguiler who beats a trap’s DC by 10 or more with a Disable Device check can study a trap, figure out how it works, and bypass it (with his allies) without disarming it.

Cloaked Casting (Ex): Starting at 2nd level, a beguiler’s spells become more effective when cast against an unwary foe. You gain a +1 bonus to the spell’s save DC when you cast a spell that targets any foe who would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not).
At 8th level, you gain a +2 bonus on rolls made to overcome the spell resistance of any affected target.
At 14th level, the bonus to your spell’s save DC increases to +2. At 20th level, you become able to automatically overcome the spell resistance of any affected target.

Surprise Casting (Ex): Starting at 2nd level, when you successfully use the Bluff skill to feint in combat, your target is denied its Dexterity bonus (if it has one) to AC for the next melee attack you make against it or the next spell you cast. You must remain in melee with the target, and the attack must be made or the spell cast on or before your next turn. The target is not considered fl at-footed and therefore can make attacks of opportunity against you if you do not cast defensively. At 6th level, you gain the ability to feint in combat as a move action instead of a standard action. If you have the Improved Feint feat, you can now feint in combat as a swift action.

Advanced Learning (Ex): At 3rd level, you can add a new spell to your list, representing the result of personal study and experimentation. The spell must be a wizard spell of the enchantment or illusion school and of a level no higher than that of the highest-level spell you already know. Once a new spell is selected, it is forever added to your spell list and can be cast just like any other spell on your list. You gain another new spell at 7th, 11th, 15th, and 19th level.

Silent Spell: At 5th level, you gain Silent Spell as a bonus feat.

Property: Armor or shield
Caster Level: 9th
Aura: Moderate; (DC 19) conjuration
Activation: Standard (command)
At first glance, this armor or shield looks like
any other item of its kind. Closer inspection
reveals a small image of a beckoning hand
inscribed on its surface.
Provided that you and your called armor
or shield are on the same plane, you can
call it to you by speaking the proper com­
mand word, regardless of the intervening
distance, if you aren't wearing armor at the
time, a suit of called armor appears on your
body, as though you had donned it in the
normal fashion, if you are wearing other
armor when you speak the command
word, the called armor appears in your
space or in an adjacent space you designate
that is capable of holding it. A called shield
appears on the proper arm if you are not
already using another shield when you call
it, or in your space or a designated adjacent
space if you are.
If any other creature has worn your
called armor or shield since you last wore
it, you can no longer call it until you wear
it again.

Armor, teleport.
Cost to Create: 1,000 gp, 80 XP, 2 days.

erty never tarnishes and is immune to

BELT OF HIDDEN POUCHES
Price (Item Level): 5,000 gp (9th)

+ show block

Body Slot: Waist
Caster Level: 9th
Aura: Moderate (DC 19) conjuration
Activation: Move (command); see text
Weight: 1 lb.

Ten tiny pouches run along the inside of this otherwise unremarkable leather belt.

Hidden inside this belt are ten small pockets, each of which seems big enough to hold only a few coins. Each pocket actually functions as a small bag of holding and can hold up to 1/2 cubic foot or 5 lbs. of nonliving matter. No object with any dimension exceeding 6 inches can be placed in a pocket. Anything placed inside a pocket effectively has one-tenth its normal weight, so a full pocket weighs only 1/2 pound at most.

In addition, two secret pockets lie behind each visible one, for a total of thirty pockets in all. The hidden pockets can be accessed only through a command word. A true seeing spell reveals the presence of the hidden pockets but not the command word needed toopen them.

Even when a pocket is full, it never bulges, so a belt of hidden pouches stuffed with 150 pounds of items still looks like an ordinary belt.

To place an object in the belt, you merely press the object into the belt. Doing so while speaking the command word places the object in one of the hidden pockets (if one of them is empty). Placing an item in a pocket (hidden or visible) is a move action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity.

Naming a stored object and speaking a second command words draws the named object out of the belt and places it in your hand. Doing this is a move action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity.

You can also reach into one of the ten regular hidden pockets and draw out an item, just as if retrieving a stored object (a move action that provokes attacks of opportunity).

A casual search won't reveal any objects placed in the belt, and searching the visible pockets cannot reveal anything stored in the hidden pockets. It is possible to use a Sleight of Hand check to pluck something out of one of the visible pockets, but only someone wearing or holding the belt can access the hidden pockets, and then only with the correct command word.

Background

Voss was born under the theocracy of Kardruin in the city of Deepfast, the son of a impoverished duergar coal miner. As far as his father was concerned, his son would live much as he had: toil in an all too little paying job under an overseers' lash; eventually find a wife who would who would toil in his household in much the same way under his own cruel eye, and bear him sons to carry on the family name and take after him in the same way-perhaps with a few daughters to sell into slavery or marriage (they're basically the same, but weddings have cake) if money got tight.Much to his fathers chagrin, Voss began to display sorcerous powers beyond the abilities possesed by all their kind. Voss became determined to do something different, and seek a life where he might put his magic to some use.

His father absolutely forbade it. Some would see such a son as a means of acquiring wealth or prestiege through there success. But rather than be happy for him, his father was envious and outraged at the idea that Voss might be anything more than him, or see anything beyond the drudgery of the mines as their family had for countless generations. His mother on the otherhand, had a different opinion-she put her calloused hands firmly on his shoulders and told him

"You can settle for a less than ordinary life. Or do you feel like you were meant for something better? Dont let the bastard keep you down. Do as you will, but do it better than anyone else."

Voss thought about it for some time, pulled between his fathers will and the "bitter illusion" other civilizations called "hope", that wishful thinking for something more. One evening, he came home to find his mother hurridly packing his things instead of making supper as she should. She told him to go-when his father crossed the threshold and though none too sharp, realized what was going on. Enraged he layed into his wife (a familiar sight), except that this time it wasnt with the butt of his pickaxe. With one blow she lay upon the stone with a hole in her head. His father kicked her lifeless form again, swearing ancient underdark curses for her "corrupting him".

"That's enough of that witch defying me, putting lies in the head of my son-now I put something in her head. Its the mines for you boy, you're no better than me, and I no better than my ancestors! This is our fate! Your hands were meant for minin' not finger wrigglin like a magician-I see you do it again, I'll bite'm off!"

Murder-stunned by his mother's death, Voss called up his magic knocking the old duergar out before dragging his unconscious body to the hearth, throwing him facedown into the fire. He knew they would come looking for the old man when he didnt come into work the next day, and he knew what law would have to say. Looting what links of chain money he could, he grabbed only the necessities and set fire to whatever would burn in their spartan house of stone; forever forsaking his clan name, never to return.
