FIGHTER (STANDARD):
Qualifications: STR 9 (STR & DEX 12+ for Specialization)
Weapon Pro: Any.
Armor Allowed: Any.
Magic Allowed: As Fighter.
Bonus NWP: Any one from the Fighter category.
Gods Worshipped: Fighters of Azura tend to worship Kazull or Rhone
Special Abilities:
· The Fighter is the only character class able to have weapon specialization. Weapon Specialization can only apply to one weapon, the fighter must have a STR and DEX of 12 or more, and the fighter must choose this weapon at 1st level. The effect of weapon specialization causes the non-proficiency penalty for unfamiliar weapons to go from -2 to -3, and the Fighter can initially choose only two weapons of proficiency instead of the usual four weapons at first level, and one must be a missile weapon. Only single-class Fighters may specialize.
· Weapon Specialization means that the character receives a +1 to hit and a +2 to damage for all attack rolls with the specialized weapon. The character also receives added attacks: 3/2 rds for levels 1-6, 2/1 for levels 7-12, and 5/2 rds for levels 13 and above.
· If the Weapon of Specialization is a missile weapon, added attacks are +1 for every six levels. For example, a fighter specialized in the Bow would get 3/2 attacks for levels 1-6, three attacks for levels 7-12, and 7/2 attacks for levels 12 and above. A fighter specialized in the Spear, Javelin or other hand-thrown weapons would get 3/2 throws for levels 1-6, two throws for levels 7-12, and 5/2 throws for levels 12 and as above.
· When a Fighter attains 9th level, he may attract men-at-arms who will follow him in admiration of his fame (or infamy) and with a desire to serve him loyally. In addition the 9th level fighter also attracts a group of elite bodyguards that are higher level and have greater loyalty. The amount of followers attracted will be doubled if the Fighter establishes a stronghold of some sort.
BARBARIAN (SOUTHERN)
Qualifications: STR 15, DEX 15, CON 12
Weapon Pro: Any, start with blowgun, club, dagger, javelin, knife, short bow, sling, or spear (all slots). Beginning weapons will be made from natural material such as bone, wood, stone, shell or coral.
Armor Allowed: The Southern Barbarian can wear any armor up to Hide with no penalty; anything heavier up to Chainmail can be worn, but will interfere with his special abilities of Climb Walls, Enhanced Movement, and Enhanced AC.
Magic Allowed: Potions, Jewelry of natural made materials (bone, stone, wood, etc), Gems, Clothing that is normally worn (boots, bracers, etc.), Weapons constructed of natural material or benign in their effect (no flaming swords or talking daggers), Armor of natural materials only.
Bonus NWP: Any five of the following: Alertness, Animal Lore (Homeland), Boat Piloting, Bowyer/Fletcher (Crude), Danger Sense, Endurance, Fire-Building, Fishing, Hiding (Homeland), Hunting, Jumping, Running, Survival (Homeland), Swimming, and Tracking (Homeland).
Gods Worshipped: Southern barbarians on Azura tend to worship Axea, Elemental Gods or a Beast (Beast Cultist)
Special Benefits:
· Barbarians have a base MV rate of ’15.
· Barbarians can climb surfaces much like a thief. The ability starts at 60%, goes up 5% per level to a 95% maximum, and is affected by DEX and racial bonuses. This ability is more effective in natural surroundings; in a civilized environment (large city, castle, etc) the ability is halved.
· Enhanced Natural AC: Barbarians have a natural AC of 9 instead of 10.
· Experience point bonuses are given for destroying magic items used against the Barbarian in conflict, or posing a deadly danger to the Barbarian or his friends.
· Magic Detection: Barbarians are very uneasy around magic or magic users, are thus are able to detect concentrations of magical power. This ability to Detect Magic only extends 10 feet, and does not give any general information except for where the magical item or individual is. The percentage chance starts at 50% and goes up 5% a level beyond 1st (55% at 2nd lvl, etc). Note that for every magical item worn or used by the Barbarian (Magic ring, sword, armor, potion, etc) the chance goes DOWN 10%. Thus, an 8th lvl Barbarian has a base 90% chance to Detect Magic, but if wearing a Ring of Fire Resistance, Leather Armor +1 and Boots of Speed while using a +1 Two Handed sword his chance would go down to 50%. This ability can never rise above 95%.
· Magic Resistance: Barbarians are highly anti-magical in nature, and are especially resistant to any mind-controlling magic. Barbarians have a +1 save vs spells, and if they are aware that a mind-controlling attempt is being made upon them they have a 5% chance per level of successfully resisting the Enchantment/Charm spell. Even if they fail this save, they are allowed an additional save every hour to throw off the Enchantment/Charm spell.
· Weaponless Combat: When attacking with bare hands, the Barbarian inflicts 1-3 pts of damage plus any damage bonus (if applicable) each round.
· Become Enraged: The Barbarian can work himself into a fighting frenzy. If the Barbarian spends a round building himself into a frenzy and makes a save vs death magic, he becomes enraged for a number of rounds equal to his constitution. If he refrains from attack for two consecutive rounds, he loses his rage. An enraged Barbarian has the following benefits: He gains +2 on attack and damage rolls, gains -2 to AC (maximum of AC0), suffers -1 to all damage rolls and gains +2 on saves vs charms/mental attacks. The downside to this is that the Barbarian must make another save vs death magic at the end of his rage. If the save fails, he immediately either becomes exhausted and cannot become enraged until he rests a full hour, or continues fighting even if all opponents are downed for 1 extra round (attacking whoever is nearby, even allies)---there is a 50% chance of either occurring. He also suffers -2 to attack during this time. The Barbarian may become enraged once daily for each three levels (Once at 1st level, twice at fourth level, thrice at seventh level, etc.)
· At 9th level, the Barbarian may attract a few followers who will be either fighters, rangers or barbarians also.
BARBARIAN (NORTHERN)
Qualifications: STR 15, DEX 9, CON 15

· At 9th level, the Barbarian may attract a few followers who will be either fighters, rangers or barbarians also.
CORSAIR:
Qualifications: DEX 14, CON 10
Weapon Pro: Any. Corsairs must take the cutlass or short sword as an initial weapon.
Armor Allowed: Any. Corsairs prefer Studded Leather or less while aboard ship. Any armor better than AC7 negates their special benefits.
Magic Allowed: As Fighter.
Bonus NWP: Any three of the following: Navigation, Rope Use, Seamanship, Survival (Ocean), Swimming, Tightrope Walking, Weather Sense.
God Worshipped: Corsairs of Azura tend to worship Savitar, Zot or Vizanya
Special Benefit:
· A Corsair can attack with two weapons without penalty (similar to the Ranger class). All other restrictions for two-weapon attacks apply.
· A Corsair never gets sea-sick or ill because of the effect of stormy seas. Also, the Corsair need never make DEX checks for shipboard actions in stormy weather, treating it as calm weather instead.
· Corsairs are more experienced than other fighter types in ship-board battle. They get a +1 to attack and damage rolls when in combat aboard a ship (at sea or docked). They also receive a +1 to saving throws from spells where dodging, climbing or jumping overboard might benefit the Corsair (for example, a Lightning Bolt). This does not apply to spells that are not physical in nature (for example, Charm Person).
· While aboard ship, Corsairs may climb rigging and masts as a thief of the same level (with modifiers for DEX or worn armor).
· A Corsair may also take Rogue proficiencies without spending an extra slot.
· At 9th level, the Corsair may attract his own crew if he captains a ship. This group of special followers may consist of both Corsairs and Buccaneers and will be enough to man the particular ship the Corsair commands.
RANGER (STANDARD):
Qualifications: STR 13, DEX 13, CON 14, WIS 14
Weapon Pro: Any.
Armor Allowed: Any. Any armor heavier than studded leather affects his special abilities.
Magic Allowed: As Fighter.

Gods Worshipped: Rangers of Azura tend to worship Sybaris or Faerel
Special Abilities:
· The Ranger can use two weapons simultaneously without the standard penalties when wearing studded leather or lighter armor.
· The Ranger can Hide in Shadows and Move Silently when he is in a natural setting, provided he is wearing studded leather or lighter armor.
· The Ranger can chooses species enemies anytime after the 2nd level of experience. Battling these enemies allows the Ranger to receive a +4 bonus to attack. The Ranger suffers a -4 penalty to all encounter reactions with his species enemies. The Ranger also has more than a passing knowledge of his chosen foes…he may attempt a WIS check when facing a species enemy; a successful roll means the Ranger is aware of all immunities, powers and possible strategies of the particular species enemy.
· The Ranger has a limited degree of animal empathy. He can modify a natural animal’s reactions when he approaches the animal carefully. The animal makes a saving throw vs R/S/W at -1 for every three levels of the Ranger. An unsuccessful save means the animal will not attack the Ranger and if communication can be achieved the animal will be friendly to the Ranger’s designs.
· The Ranger can cast Priest spells from the Animal and Plant spheres starting at 8th level.
· The Ranger can build a stronghold if they wish anytime after 9th level.
· The Ranger attracts animal followers starting at 8th level. He receives one follower for every two CHR pts, rounded up (up to 9 maximum). These followers will generally be appropriate to the terrain inhabited by the Ranger, although there can be exceptions. Any animal befriended by a Ranger has a chance to become a follower, up to the Ranger’s limit. At 10th level, any unfilled slots will be filled by human or demi-human followers who will come to the Ranger in admiration of his or her fame.
· Rangers tend to be loners and are usually always on the move. They cannot have henchmen or hirelings until 8th level, and they cannot have more treasure than they can carry until they set up a stronghold.

Armor Allowed: Any. Explorers prefer lighter armor and no shields.
Magic Allowed: As Fighter.
Bonus NWP: As Ranger, and any two of the following: Alertness, Cartography, Direction Sense, Endurance, Reading/Writing, Trail Signs, Trail Marking, Weather Knowledge.
Special Benefits:
· An Explorer can learn a number of languages allowed by his INT score in addition to any proficiencies. For example, an Explorer with a 12 INT could learn three languages, in addition to using the three proficiency slots for other languages or proficiencies.
· Find the Path: The Explorer can use this ability to sense the correct direction that will eventually lead to a desired geographical locale, which must be in an outdoor setting. The Explorer must have some clue, map, information, or body of research about the locale in order to use this ability. It can be used once per week, providing a day's worth of guidance (hence it is of greatest use on an expedition of weeks or months duration).
· Culture Sense: This ability allows the Explorer to acquire general knowledge about the laws and customs of a tribe, village, or settlement. Once per week, the Explorer may attempt to use this ability by studying or communicating with a member of the tribe or village. The villager must have the knowledge the Explorer wishes to gain; for instance, the villager can't be an infant or mentally deficient. The Explorer must make an INT check after a week of study or communication. If the throw succeeds, the Explorer acquires an instant understanding of the villager's laws and customs, including those applicable to related clans or tribes (such as the social etiquette pertaining to all aarakocra in the region, not just this particular group). Information learned through this ability might include local laws (no one is allowed on the village streets after dark without written permission), accepted courtesies (strangers bow to all children), and cultural taboos (hats and other head coverings are considered offensive). Successful use of this ability also gives the Explorer a +1 reaction adjustment when encountering any other members of the tribe, village, or settlement.
· Recognize Trail Hazard. By observing subtle changes in the terrain, the Explorer is able to recognize natural hazards, enabling him and his companions to avoid them. Typical hazards include quicksand, sinkholes, slippery slopes, and thin ice. A Explorer has no special ability to recognize man-made hazards, such as pit traps or dangerous bridges, nor does he have any special talent for anticipating encounters with hostile natives or animals. An Explorer’s chance to recognize a hazard is 10% per level to a maximum chance of 90%.
· Few Followers: The Explorer travels lightly, unencumbered by followers that require his attention. Thus, he will have no more than two followers at the same time. If he already has two followers, a new follower won't arrive until one of his current followers is dismissed, lost, or killed.
· No Fortifications: An Explorer typically has little interest in the responsibilities associated with property ownership. He will never build a castle or any other fortification. However, an Explorer may create a small homestead or steading in the wilderness, far from civilization.

They are also able to remove fear or other baneful emotions caused by spells in themselves or others once daily by touch.
· Paladins of Lurell are able to detect illusions, invisibility and lies with a successful WIS check while concentrating. The paladin can do nothing but concentrate while using this ability.

Paladins of Lurell are also able to detect undead within a 60 ft radius if they are allowed to concentrate for a full round in absolute silence.
· Paladins of Rhone are clear of mind and aware of purpose; thus, Enchantment/Charm spells are saved at with a +2 bonus, and any INT checks vs mind controlling magics are made as if the paladin had an 18 INT.

MAGE KITS:
WIZARD (STANDARD):
Qualifications: INT 9
Weapon Pro: Club, Dagger, Dart, Knife, Sling, Staff.
Armor Allowed: None.
Magic Allowed: As Mage.
Bonus NWP: Reading/Writing, Spellcraft
Gods Worshipped: Mages of Azura tend to worship Lusyr or Kos
Special Benefits or Restrictions:
· Cantrips: A Wizard is able to use the most simple form of magic spells as many times daily as he has levels. These minor spells (cantrips) do not have to be memorized, although the caster does have to know the particular cantrip before casting it. These cantrips are in addition to any other spells the wizard may or may not have memorized. In general, the wizard can cast one cantrip daily per level, plus one per each INT point over 15.
· Upon beginning as a Wizard, each character knows the spells Read Magic, Detect Magic and Wizard Mark as part of his spell repertoire.
· Once the Wizard reaches 9th level, he can pen magical scrolls and brew magical potions. This requires time, money, and a special area (a specially stocked lab or study) from which to work.
· Once the Wizard reaches 12th level, he can create or recharge certain magical items. At this level he can also begin creating his own spells.
· Because being a Wizard means constant study and research, after attaining each level the Wizard may choose any “Common” spell to immediately become part of his repertoire of spells without a knowledge roll, even if this was a previously un-learnable spell. These spells can only come from spell levels the character is already able to cast.
· Familiar: Upon reaching 2nd level or higher, a wizard may if he chooses perform a special ceremony that bestows a familiar upon him. The small creature is typically 1 HD or less, although magical in nature, and adds its abilities to the wizard. Like the spell Find Familiar (which does not exist in Azura) the process of the procedure involves a ceremony typically costing 1000 gp that lasts 8 hours and debilitates the caster for 30 days minus the caster’s CON pts. The caster can only have one familiar at a time, and can only cast the spell once a year. The creature chosen starts with maximum hit points for its type, as well as being AC 7. The creature will gain 1 HP per caster level as the caster grows in power.
It is important to remember that the familiar is a magical creature, not a normal creature, and thus will be exceptional in all instances. It has an empathic link with the caster, and the caster can communicate up to one mile with the creature and can see through it’s eyes if the caster is immobile and does nothing else but concentrate. The creature will obey all caster commands and treats the caster as a trusted friend. The creature will not age normally and generally will live as long as the caster. If the caster ever dies, the familiar falls into a sleep-like coma and will lose 1 HP a day until death or until the caster is raised or resurrected. If the creature dies, the wizard immediately loses as many HPs as the creature, and must make a system shock roll or fall unconscious for a turn.
When the wizard becomes 9th level, he may choose to either summon an exceptional familiar or choose his own beloved familiar to morph into a more powerful being. If the wizard chooses to do so, the ceremony costs 1000 GP per caster level, and takes a full day, after which the wizard must rest for 30 days minus his CON. The new creature is generally one compatible with the wizard’s alignment, although highly magical in nature (for example, Imps, Quasits, Brownies, and Pseudo Dragons are types of special familiars that can be summoned). The new creature (or new form of the old creature) is a bit more intelligent than the regular familiar, and will often have its own opinions and can generally make intelligent decisions concerning types of actions to take in certain situations.
In general familiars are treated as magical creatures for the purpose of Protection from Enemies spells or similar spells, although Dispel Magic has no effect on them. They have the same saving throws as their master when within 10 feet of him, and take no damage on successful saves and only half on failed saves (when within 10 ft). In all cases the familiar acts as an animal of the type it resembles, and will not be suicidal or foolhardy in its actions no matter what his master’s orders.

Armor Allowed: As Mage.
Magic Allowed: As Mage.
Bonus NWP: Reading/Writing, Spellcraft
Special Benefits:

· Specialists receive a bonus of +15% when learning spells from their school and a penalty of -15% when learning spells from other schools.

CONJURERS:
· A Conjurer has a chance of influencing the type of creature summoned from a spell such as Monster Summoning. The chance is +5% per level, - 5% per level of the spell.

Water Wizard:
Qualifications: INT 9, STR 10, CON 13
Weapon Pro: Any Mage, Dagger required.
Armor Allowed: As Mage.
Magic Allowed: As Mage.
Bonus NWP: Seamanship, Survival (Ocean), Swimming, any one of the following: Direction Sense, Fishing, Herbalism, Navigation, Weather Sense.
Special Benefits:
· All Water Wizards are worshippers of the Elemental God of Water, Vizanya. Because of this, they are able to cast certain water-based mage spells available only to their class. Such spells are non-standard and cannot be learned by other mages; they appear as unreadable and unlearnable to any non-Water Wizard character. These specialty spells vary from mage to mage and become available during worship to Vizanya…typically, at each spell level gained, a spell of the level gained will be randomly learned from a servant of Vizanya after the appropriate ceremony, although Water Wizard characters are allowed to learn other water based spells they locate during research or adventuring.
· The Water Wizard gains a bonus of +15% when trying to learn spells related to water or +10% when learning spells related to air.
· Water Wizards may memorize one extra water-related spell for each level daily. They may also choose a “free” water-related spell each level in addition to the automatic spell received for going up a level.
· Water Wizards receive a +1 bonus when making saving throws against water related spells cast at them. Other creatures receive a -1 penalty when making a saving throw against the caster’s water related spells.

· At 10th level, a Water Wizard need not concentrate in order to summon a Water Elemental.
· At 12th level, there is no chance of a water elemental turning on the Water Wizard.
· The Water Wizard gains a +2 bonus on all PRO checks relating to the ocean or water. Conversely, on land a Water Wizard receives a -2 penalty on all PRO checks that do not involve the ocean or water in some way.
· The Water Wizard receives a -25% modifier to learn all spells dealing with Earth or Fire.
ROGUE KITS:
THIEF (STANDARD):
Qualifications: DEX 9
Weapon Pro: Any Rogue.
Armor Allowed: As Rogue.
Magic Allowed: As Rogue.
Bonus NWP: None.
Gods Worshipped: Thieves of Azura tend to worship Ravana
Special Benefit:
· On Azura, the standard Thief ability of Read Magical scrolls is not available to a regular thief.
· All regular thief abilities work as noted, except for the additional abilities of Escape and Sneak Attack (given below).
· The Backstab ability is the same, except that it does work on larger than normal humanoids…a stab to a giant’s ankle tendon is just as debilitating as a stab to the back. However, the creature still must have a definable “backside” that can be stabbed, thus the ability cannot be used on Beholders, Oozes, Shambling Mounds, etc.
· The top percentage any thieving skill can reach under normal conditions is 95%. However, upon reaching this total, the thief character can continue to raise his thieving skills to 99% upon reaching 9th level. Only single class thieves can attain this level of mastery.
· Escape: Starting at 1st lvl, the thief has a base chance of 25% to escape either manacles, thongs, chains, ropes or any other method used to restrain him. The thief adds +5% for each DEX pt over 14 to his final roll. Each restraining device requires a successful roll, so if a thief was both chained to a wall and had his wrists tied, this would require two rolls. Each attempt requires 1-6 rds to use. A failure means the thief cannot attempt to once again break out of that restraint until 1-10 days have passed.
· Sneak Attack: At 3rd lvl, when successfully surprising an opponent with an attack from behind (Backstab) which hits, the thief can choose to Sneak Attack the opponent. A Sneak Attack represents an unusually precise attack that hits a vital area. For every three levels of the thief, an additional 1d6 pts of damage is added on to the initial backstab damage (2d6 at 6th, 3d6 at 9th, 4d6 at 12th, etc). This attack can only happen if stated before the backstab damage is rolled, and can only be attempted once daily for every three levels of the thief (once at third level, twice at 6th level, three times at 9th level, etc). In addition, if the total damage from the backstab/sneak attack is over half the opponents current total, he must save vs death magic or be stunned for 1-4 rounds due to the precise placement of the damaging blow. As in the case of the backstab, this attack can only be used against a living creature with a discernable back…undead, constructs, oozes, plants and non-corporeal beings are excluded.
· At 10th level, a thief’s reputation is such that he may begin to attract followers if he so chooses. This number depends on whether the thief settles in a large city or continues to ply his trade in the outdoors or on the sea…as such, the number varies from 4-24 followers depending on location.
BARD (STANDARD):
Qualifications: DEX 12, INT 13, CHR 15
Weapon Pro: Any
Armor Allowed: Any up to chainmail, no shield
Magic Allowed: As Bard.
Bonus NWP: Local History, Reading/Writing, any one instrument.
God Worshipped: Bards of Azura tend to worship Kaerelle or Mitra
Special Benefit:
· Bards begin with expertise in any musical instrument they wish. For every NWP slot used, the Bard can learn two additional instruments.
· The Bard learns and uses spells like a Mage upon gaining 2nd level; that is, they must first learn Read Magic for use in reading and memorizing spells. Bards in Azura are allowed to use written magical scrolls at any level with only a 15% chance the item is read incorrectly. Upon reaching 10th level the chance is the same as a Mage.
· A Bard can influence reactions of NPC’s by performing before a group that is not attacking. The group must save vs Paralyzation with a -1 for every three experience levels of the Bard. A success or failure shifts the reaction result to one end or the other on the scale.
· The music, poetry and stories of the Bard can inspire friends and allies before or during battle. A +1 to attacks and saving throws and a +2 to morale can affect allies within 10 ft per experience level of the Bard if he begins the recitation at least 3 rounds before battle. This effect lasts one round per level of the Bard.
· Bards are able to counter the effects of songs used as magical attacks. Characters within 30 feet of the Bard are immune to the attack as long as the Bard can counter the magical action with songs or stories. The Bard must make a saving throw vs spell, success means the attack has been blocked.
· Bards have a 5% chance per level of identifying the general purpose, function or history of a unique magical item (not a common +1 sword or Healing potion, for example).
· Each time the Bard gains a level, he must compose an original work (musical, poetic, written) that has a unique title. These ballads may come from historical sources or from actual events that the Bard participated in. For each level of the Bard, there is a 5% cumulative chance (plus the Bard’s reaction adjustment) that the ballad will gain the Bard lasting fame. If the roll is made, the work will begin to be associated with the particular Bard and he will begin to attract admirers who wish to see the work performed. For every ballad that succeeds, the Bard may attract a lower level Bard that seeks to study at the feet of the master.
· At 9th level, a Bard may attract followers who come in admiration of his talent and fame. From 10-60 0-Level followers will begin to serve the Bard when he settles down to build a performing hall or stronghold. For each unique work created by the Bard, an additional lower level Bard of 1st level is also attracted to his service. These bards are extremely loyal to the Master Bard and act as his personal bodyguards.
BARD (LOREMASTER):
Qualifications: DEX 12, INT 14, WIS 14, CHR 15
Weapon Pro: Blowgun, Dagger, Dart, Hand Crossbow, Knife, Staff, and Sling only.
Armor Allowed: Leather only.
Magic Allowed: As Bard.
Bonus NWP: Ancient History, Ancient Languages, Navigation, Reading/Writing, any one General proficiency.
Special Benefit:
· Legend Lore: With this ability the Loremaster can discover a specific ability of the item being examined, one ability per item. The chance is automatic; however, further knowledge of the item must be gathered through another means (Identify or the like).
· Arcane Lore: With a successful WIS check, the Loremaster can successfully use a magic item they haven’t yet identified. They also cast spells as a Bard of one level higher than their actual level, getting to use spells at first level unlike a True Bard.
· Persuasion: Using persuasion takes at least 1-10 rounds. All who listen and can understand the Loremaster must roll a saving throw vs paralyzation with a -1 penalty for every three levels of the Loremaster. Those who fail have their reactions adjusted one level up or down as desired by the Loremaster.
· Etymology: Loremasters can attempt read languages twice if the language in question is an ancient one. They can also use their read languages ability to decipher runes, glyphs, pictograms, ideograms, or any other form of ancient visual communication. If the Loremaster makes his Ancient Languages check with a language, he understands the basics of the language and can write or communicate at one-tenth the normal rate.
· Loremasters do not necessarily begin with expertise in any musical instrument…they often demonstrate their bardic powers through oration or recitation.
· Like a regular bard, the music, poetry and stories of the Loremaster can inspire friends and allies before (but not during) battle. A +1 to attacks and saving throws and a +2 to morale can affect allies within 10 ft per experience level of the Loremaster if he begins the recitation at least 3 rounds before battle. This effect lasts one round per level of the Loremaster.
BARD (SKALD):
Qualifications: STR 12, DEX 12, INT 13, CHR 15
Weapon Pro: Any one-handed Sword, Hand Axe, Battle Axe, or Spear to start, then any.
Armor Allowed: As Bard, plus a shield.
Magic Allowed: As Bard.
Bonus NWP: Ancient History, Local History, Singing, plus any one of the following: Armorer, Blacksmithing, Blind-Fighting, Bowyer/Fletcher, Etiquette, Hunting, Leatherworking, Musical Instrument, or Weaponsmithing.
Special Benefit:
· War Chant: By chanting a war song, a Skald can inspire allies as they go into combat. The Skald must begin chanting at least three rounds before combat begins. Chanting has an effective range of ten feet per level of the Skald. The effects end as soon as the Skald receives his first wound or a number of rounds equal to the Skald’s level.
At 1st level, the Skald can choose one effect per battle, plus one extra effect
at levels 3, 6 and 9th. The effects are:
Bonus hit pts equal to the Skald’s level
Morale bonus of +1 for every five levels of the Skald
A +1 to either Attack, Damage, Saving Throws.
A -1 to Armor class
Note that this ability replaces the similar ability of a regular Bard.
· Influence Reactions: If a Skald spends 1-10 rounds singing ballads, he can attempt to improve the reactions of an audience. Everyone able to hear and understand the Skald must roll a saving throw vs paralyzation with -1 penalty per three levels of the Skald. Those that fail have their reactions to the Skald improved by one level.
· Battle Chant: The Skald fights with a +1 attack bonus any time he is singing or chanting during combat, even a soft chant under his breath. In addition, a Skald gains a +1 damage bonus when using a sword, axe, or spear (providing the Skald is proficient with the weapon). After one turn of continuous battle, the Skald must make a saving throw vs Paralyzation every additional combat round, failure means the Skald is out of breath and can no longer sing or chant. A rest of just one round (no combat or actions) starts the entire process over.
· Legend Lore Restriction: Skalds can perform Legend Lore only upon magic items having to do with war or combat.
· Skalds do not necessarily begin with expertise in any musical instrument…their abilities lie in the power of their voices. They learn the use of musical instruments normally if they choose the proficiency.
· Skalds do not have the counter song ability of regular bards…they do, however, gain a +2 to saves involving sound or song based magical attacks as long as they are engaged in combat.
· Skalds do not have to compose original works after each level gained as regular Bards, although they can if they desire.
· The Skald cannot take the Reading/Writing Proficiency, acquire the Read Languages ability, or use spells until they come into contact with a non-barbarian culture. Skalds do not gain the use of any written magical item ability at 10th level.
OUTCAST (BANDIT):
Qualifications: DEX 9, CON 10
Weapon Pro: Any Thief, plus Special (See Below)
Armor Allowed: As Thief.
Magic Allowed: As Thief.
Race Allowed: Any
Bonus NWP: Survival (Any), plus any two of the following: Alertness, Animal Handling, Fire Building, Intimidation, Looting, Riding (Land Based), Rope Use, Set Snares, or Swimming.
Special Benefits:
· The Bandit character gets a free Weapon proficiency with a minor blunt or non-lethal weapon (Blowgun, Bola, Net, Lasso, Sap, Whip, etc) without having to use a slot, thus giving him three weapons of proficiency at first level.
· The Bandit has excellent Night Vision, allowing him to operate in darkness with reduced penalties. With this ability, the Thief suffers no penalties in moonlight conditions. In starlight or similar lighting, the Thief suffers a -1 to saving throws, -1 to attack rolls, and -1 to his Armor Class. Under conditions near total darkness, the Thief suffers only -2 penalties to saving throws, combat rolls, and Armor Class. Although this ability has similarities to Blind-fighting, Night Vision applies to both combat and non-combat situations. Blind-fighting allows a character to "sense" where an opponent is, while Night Vision allows him to actually see where the enemy is. Night Vision provides benefits only in outdoor, wilderness conditions.
· Bandits can halve the time necessary to set a man-trap (under the Set Snares PRO) down to 1-4 hours if only natural materials are used.
· Bandits are intimate with poisons; most Bandits will know which flora or fauna can be used for reliable poisons. Bandits add +2 to their Venom Handling or Herbalism Proficiencies if they have either of these.
· Ability Adjustments: PP -25%, F/R Traps +10%, HS +5%, CW -25%, RL -25%, Wilderness Only: MS +10%, DN +10%.
PIRATE (BUCCANEER):
Qualifications: STR 10, DEX 9, CON 10
Weapon Pro: Any Thief, plus Cutlass.
Armor Allowed: As Thief.
Magic Allowed: As Thief.
Race Allowed: Human, Elf, Half-Elf, Halfling, Orc, Half-Orc, Half-Ogre
Bonus NWP: Any three of the following: Alertness, Boating, Looting, Rope Use, Seamanship, Survival (Ocean), Swimming, Tightrope Walking.
Special Benefits:
· Pirates gain a +5% Climbing advantage when on ropes, +10% if it’s on a ship’s rigging or mast.
· A Pirate never gets sea-sick or ill because of the effect of stormy seas. Also, the Pirate need never make DEX checks for shipboard actions in stormy weather, treating it as calm weather instead.
· Pirates are more experienced than other thief types in ship-board battle. They get a +1 to attack rolls and a +2 to attacks from behind when in combat aboard a ship (at sea or docked). They also receive a +1 to saving throws from spells where dodging, climbing or jumping overboard might benefit the Pirate (for example, a Lightning Bolt). This does not apply to spells that are not physical in nature (for example, Charm Person). They also receive a +5% on thief abilities when used upon a ship, if applicable (for example, Move Silently or Hide in Shadow).
· Ability Adjustments: PP-25%, RL –25%, OL –15% Shipboard Only: F/R Traps +5%, MS +5%, HS +5%, DN +5%, CW +5%/+10% (ropes or mast only).
SCOUT (SPY):
Qualifications: STR 12, DEX 13, CON 13, WIS 12
Weapon Pro: As Thief.
Armor Allowed: As Thief.
Magic Allowed: As Thief.
Race Allowed: Human, Elf, Half-Elf, Gnome, Halfling
Bonus NWP: Alertness, Direction Sense, Set Snares, Survival, any one of the following: Animal Lore, Boating, Fishing, Hunting, Mountaineering, Riding (Land Based), Tracking or Weather Sense.
Special Benefits:
· Scouts are thieves that operate best in the wilderness, so most of their thief skills are +10% when used away from civilization. Wilderness settings include any uninhabited, outdoors environment: On board a ship, inside a dungeon or under the sea do not constitute “wilderness” for this situation. In the city, their skills suffer a -5% penalty.
· Scouts gain a bonus on any attempt to surprise in a wilderness setting, including +1 to attack from behind. They are also as harder to surprise while in wilderness settings (Alertness PRO +1).
· The Scout can halve the time necessary to set a man-trap (under the Set Snares PRO) down to 1-4 hours if only natural materials are used.
· Ability Adjustments: PP-25%, OL -25%, RL –10%, -5% any in City. Wilderness Only: F/R Traps +10%, MS +10%, HS +10%, DN +10%, CW +10%.
STREET THIEF:
Qualifications: INT 13, DEX 12, CHR 13
Weapon Pro: Any Thief.
Armor Allowed: As Thief.
Magic Allowed: As Thief.
Race Allowed: Human, Elf, Half-Elf, Gnome, Halfling, Orc, Half-Orc, Half-Ogre
Bonus NWP: Appraising, Fast Talking, Information Gathering, Observation, any one of the following: Begging, Disguise, Fortune Telling, Gaming, Intimidation, Local History, Trailing, Locksmithing.
Special Benefits:
· Choose Targets: The Street Thief can ascertain the nature of a prospective target or victim by sizing he or she up. By making a successful INT check, the Street Thief can guess the class and level of the chosen target. The check is made secretly by the DM; a failed check yields a false conclusion, while a successful check accurately predicts the true class and level. A target in disguise can still be found out with a –5% PRO check.
· A Street Thief functions best in city conditions; any locale considered less than a city (even a village or hamlet), or any outdoors setting, causes his thief abilities to suffer a –10% adjustment.
· Contacts: For every level of the Street Thief spent working and living inside a city, the thief generates one “contact” or source of information that can come in handy in the future by giving aid, rumors, money or companionship. These contacts can be any character type the player or DM desires, but typically are NPCs that interact with the Street Thief on a daily basis. Not all contacts have to be considered helpful on all occasions, and pressing a contact for more help than they are willing or able to give can cause the contact to break off relations with the Street Thief (this should be a 5% to 25% chance per action that is above and beyond simple tasks or friendship). Any contact thus lost cannot be regained until another level is reached. Typical contacts in a city setting include fences, shopkeepers, prostitutes, other thieves, innkeepers, beggars, and sometimes even law enforcement officials.
· Ability Adjustments: PP +10%, OL +10%, F/R Traps +5%, HS +5%, MS+5%, DN +5%, CW +5%; Wilderness Only: -10% to all abilities.
