The Boros Legion
« on: February 03, 2012, 12:40:16 PM »


The Boros Legion

The Boros Legion believes in fiery justice and righteous law. The most formidable military force on Ravnica, the Boros Legion is ready to clash with any foe head on. They are swift, efficient, and direct with little time for self-doubt or over analysis. The League of Wojek, a subset of the Legion, is the police force of the City of Ravnica. It is the job of the League to patrol the streets, arrest those who break the Guildpact and keep the rowdier guilds under control.

Within the Boros Legion there is a strict chain of command, and the angels of the Legion automatically outrank any mortal. The parun and guild leader of the Boros Legion, Razia, Archangel, is at the top of the guild. Military leader and icon, inspiration and demi-god, all within the Legion know of her and all respect her. Below her are Angelic Warleaders, wise and ancient, these angels serve as the tacticians of the guild and as counselors to the Archangel. They chart spiritual campaigns over hundreds of years. They set the dogma of the guild, making certain that it reflects the command of their leader. Next are Firemane Angels, incarnations of war, serving in the capacity of holy warriors, and below them are Warrior Angels, soldiers, the rank of file of the Angel hierarchy. Of mortals in the Boros Legion, Boros Guildmage is the highest rank. The Guildmage is the only rank that may initiate contact with the angels. They receive orders from the angels and pass it along to the commanders of the Boros Army and the League of Wojek. Finally, below the rank of Guildmage, the Legion splits in half. The League of Wojek is the official law enforcement of the districts of the Ravnica City. Many ranks with the League and the Army share a power band, however, a member of the Army may give order to a lower ranking Wojek while a Wojek cannot give orders to a lower ranking member of the Army.

Weapon & Armor Proficiencies
A Boros Legionnaire is proficient with all simple and martial weapons; with all light, medium, and heavy armors, and with all shields (including Tower Shields).

Bonus Feats
At 1st level, 2nd level, and at every fourth level thereafter, a Boros Legionnaire gains a bonus feat which be any feat from the list of Fighter Bonus Feats. A Boros Legionnaire must meet the prerequisite of any feat gained in this way. A Boros Legionnaire counts as a Fighter of his level for the purposes of meeting the prerequisites of these feats.

Cadet's Wards (Sp): A 3rd level Boros Legionnaire may spend 10 minutes casting rudimentary wards upon himself to grant himself immunity to the Dazed and Stunned conditions as well as to magic Fatigue, Exhaustion, and Sleep effects. These wards have a 24 hour duration and can be dispelled or suppressed, but may be re-cast at-will. Boros Legionnaires can, and typically do, cast these wards during the hour used to regain their spell slots (see Spells below).

Spells
At 4th level a Boros Legionnaire masters the ability to cast arcane spells drawn from the Boros Legionnaire spell list, gaining a caster level equal to his class level - 3, and learns every 1st level Boros Legionnaire spells. He prepares his spells in the same way a Wizard does.

In order to cast a Boros Legionnaire spell, a Boros Legionnaire must have an Intelligence modifier equal to 10 + spell level. The saving throw DC of a Boros Legionnaire spell he casts is equal to 10 + 1/2 class level + Charisma modifier. A Boros Legionnaire may receive bonus spell slots per day if he has a high Intelligence modifier.

Boros Legionnaire Spell List

Boros Guildmage (Ex): A 4th level Boros Legionnaire casts arcane spells from the Boros Legionnaire spell list, but he may wear any type of armor without incurring the normal chance of arcane spell failure. Furthermore, he may complete the somatic gestures of his spells even with his hands full as long as he wields a manufactured weapon in at least one of his hands, and finally he may treat any manufactured weapon as the focus component of his spells.

Officer's Mount (Ex); Upon reaching 5th level, a Boros Legionnaire gains the service of an unusually intelligent, strong, and loyal steed to serve him in his endeavors. This mount is usually a heavy warhorse (for a Medium character) or a warpony (for a Small character). The Officer's Mount is a typical example of its species except for the adjustments and abilities detailed below.

Quick Cast (Ex): Starting at 7th level, a Boros Legionnaire can cast a number of Boros Legionnaire spells per day, with casting times no longer than a full-round action, as swift actions. This does not increase the level of the spell slot require to cast the spell as the Quicken Spell feat does. The Boros Legionnaire may use this ability a number of times each day equal to 1 + his Intelligence modifier (minimum 1) and gains additional uses of this ability every four levels after 7th.

Radiance (Su): Starting at 8th level, at the Boros Legionnaire’s option, he may have any spell (but not any spell-like ability) that is cast on himself also affect all allies within 30ft or all enemies within 30ft. He may only use this ability 1/day, plus an additional time each day every four levels after 8th.

Lesser Angelic Visage (Sp): Starting at 9th level, while a Boros Legionnaire benefits from his Cadet's Wards he gains a +4 enhancement bonus to Charisma and Resistance 10 to cold, electricity, and fire.

Improved Angelic Visage (Sp): Starting at 13th level, while a Boros Legionnaire benefits from his Cadet's Wards he has Low-light Vision and Darkvision 60ft (or his existing Darkvision improves by 60ft), his Resistance to cold, electricity, and fire improves to 20, and he gains Damage Reduction 10/magic.

Greater Angelic Visage (Sp): Starting at 17th level, while a Boros Legionnaire benefits from his Cadet's Wards his enhancement bonus to Charisma grows to +6; his Darkvision pierces even magical darkness; his Resistance to cold, electricity, and fire improves to 30; and his Damage Reduction improves to 15/evil and magic.

Razia's Blessing (Ex): At 20th level, a Boros Legionnaire's type changes to Outsider (Native), though he may be resurrected normally. He gains a +4 perfection bonus to his Charisma score, a +2 perfection bonus to his Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution scores, is immune to disease and poison, gains Spell Resistance 35 and a pair of white, feathered wings that grant him a fly speed equal to twice his land speed at good maneuverability.
