· You are chosen to escort a caravan of Orcs trading goods with Ogres for Fachan children.  As the travel continues your disquiet grows.  Why do the Ogres have children of your kind?  And the Orcs are hardly charitable so why trade goods for your people?
· You see Vaprak in a dream and he tells you that you are not the chosen of Gruumsh.  He insists you are now his chosen.  You aren't exactly eager to have this known and are skipping town.
· You wake up to discover you are now well over seven feet tall.  And no one local can tell you why, so it's off to the swamp witch.

RAIDER


   
"Death! Death to all who oppose us!"

Weapon Proficiencies: A Raider gains proficiency with the Greatclub.

War Magic (Su): At 1st level, when using your Warclub Feat, the enchanted weapons critical threat range increases by 1 (i.e. if it normally threatened a crit on a 20, it now does so on a 19-20), and does +1d6 damage on a successful critical.  At 4th level the critical threat range increases by 2, and it does 2d6 on a successful critical.  At 7th Level your opponent must make a Fortitude Save (10 plus 1/2 HD plus Str Modifier) or be Stunned 1 Round.

Earth Magic (Su): At 2nd Level, whenever you cast a spell with the Earth descriptor, you gain DR 5/- for a number of rounds equal to the Spell's level.  This does not stack.

At 5th Level, whenever you cast a spell with the Earth descriptor, you may choose one target it effects to make a Reflex Save (Save DC is 10 plus 1/2 HD plus Cha modifier).  If it fails it falls prone.  At 8th Level it falls prone, and is Dazed 1 Round.
 
Air Magic (Su):  At 3rd Level, whenever you cast a spell with the Air descriptor, you may immediately make a 5 foot step as a free action.

At 6th Level, whenever you cast a spell with the Air descriptor, you gain a +4 Insight Bonus to AC for a number of rounds equal to the Spell's level.  This does not stack.

At 9th Level, you may take a 10 foot step instead of 5 feet (you still don't provoke attacks of opportunity).

Veteran Raider (Su): Your Gaseous Cloud ability may now be used at will as a Supernatural ability.  The Damage Reduction is now DR 15/- instead of DR 15/Magic.

PLAYING A RAIDER
 Adventurers think they know what being a murderhobo is.  Psh.  You were killing people and taking their stuff long before most adventurers were born.
 Combat: Generally you use your Gaseous Form to get to a high point, or somewhere there are obstacles between you and your opponent before pelting him with rocks (and possibly spells).  You then activate your Warclub Feat before using Gaseous Form to close the gap and pummel your opponent.
 Advancement: Most Raiders are pretty similar, they specialize in whatever better enabled them to kill people and take their stuff.
Resources: You are a professional raider, so pretty much whatever you can forcibly take.

RAIDERS IN THE WORLD
"Never look away on watch duty.  The Giants are always there hidden somewhere, waiting for their moment."
 Raiders are vile beings.  No act of cruelty or torture is too much for them, and they like taking slaves over wealth.   The true purpose of their raids is extermination and tyranny.
 Daily Life: Your life is spent planning and recovering from raids.  And counting your loot with a little luck.
 Notables:
 Organizations: Technically you are the Fhoimorien military.

NPC Reaction
 Raiders are archetypal evil giant monsters.  No one likes them (including some other Evil Giants).

RAIDERS IN THE GAME
 This is best for an all Evil campaign, as no other group will accept them.
 Adaptation: This is meant for Birthright, but with enough changes could be adapted elsewhere.
 Encounters: PC's will generally encounter you during raids or war.  You tend to isolate yourself otherwise.

Sample Encounter
EL x: The PC's are escorting a caravan through a mountain pass infamous for Fhoimorien raids.  The inevitable boulder landing on one of the guards lets them know it's on.

Favored Enemy (Ex): This is identical to the Ranger Ability listed in the PHB, and stacks with it.  Unlike normal, this bonus applies to all Humanoids, not just one Subtype. 

Improved Favored Enemy (Ex): At 2nd Level your Favored Enemy Bonus also applies to Intimidate Checks.

At 5th Level you may also add it to attack rolls.

At 8th Level you may also add it to Hide or Move Silently Checks.

Rend (Ex): At 3rd Level you do an additional 2d6 damage if both weapon attacks hit on a Full Attack.

At 6th Level, if both attacks hit and one was a successful Critical, you do an additional +2d6 damage.

At 9th Level you do an additional 2d6 damage if the target is a Favored Enemy.

Apex Predator (Ex): So long as you are aware of your attacker, you can always Take 10 on Fortitude and Reflex Saves.

PLAYING A PREDATOR
 The world is your buffet, and you prefer the two legged bits that run from you screaming.  You like it when they run, chases are fun.
 Combat: You prefer your prey Humanoid.  You'll charge into melee with anything as long as it has no obvious magic.  Spellcasters can give you a fight when they have their meat shields running interference.
 Advancement: Predators are pretty similar, training (if you can call it that) exclusively in skills thar help them bring down prey.
Resources: Predators generally have whatever they can steal, or whatever they're "paid" for killing off people.

PREDATORS IN THE WORLD
"Ah'll give yer three goats ta get rid of them damn halflins' down ta the holler."
 Everything but you is food.  It cannot be stressed enough how much this shapes your outlook on life.  Unless it's too powerful to fight, you are literally incapable of considering other beings as anything but something to kill.
 Daily Life: If you aren't stalking or eating prey, you're making (or stealing) the equipment to do so.
 Notables:
 Organizations: Predators are loners.  They sometimes hire out to mercenaries, but not often.

NPC Reaction
 You have a tendency to eat anyone smaller than you.  Needless to say, this doesn't endear you to people.

PREDATORS IN THE GAME
 This assumes the PC is a murderer who eats people.  May be best off for NPC's or Evil parties.
 Adaptation: This is decent for any all Evil campaign.
 Encounters: Predators are usually encountered because they're hungry, and they like munching people.

Sample Encounter
EL x: The PC's are breaking camp, when a freakish, greasy two headed giant stumbles out of the woods and asks "You seen any damn halflins'?"

TRUTHSEEKER


   
"Be truthful, Nature only ever favors the truth."

 Despite being Clerics of a despised minority, Truthseekers are much sought after for disputes in which the truthful party cannot be ascertained.  While they have no legal power, the caliphs who frequently seek their advice do.  Having a reputation as someone who cannot lie, or be lied too, gives them something of an uneven rep.  Everyone wants to know the truth as long as it isn't about themselves.

BECOMING A TRUTHSEEKER
Almost all Truthseekers are Desert Cyclops Clerics.

 ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
   Race:  Desert Cyclops
   Class Abilities:  Access to the Truth Domain
   Feats:  Truthseeker, Domain Spontaneity
   Skills:  Knowledge (Religion) 4 ranks, Sense Motive 4 ranks


Class Skills
 The Truthseeker's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Heal (Wis), Knowledge (arcana) (Int), Knowledge (history) (Int), Knowledge (religion) (Int), Search (Int), Sense Motive (Wis), Spellcraft (Int) and Spot (Wis).
Skills Points at Each  Level : 4 + int

Hit Dice: d8

Weapon Proficiencies: A Truthseeker gains no new weapon or armor proficiencies.

See The Truth (Su): At 1st Level you may Take 20 on Sense Motive Checks.

At 4th Level when you cast Discern Lies it no longer requires Concentration, and now lasts 1 Minute per Level.

At 7th Level when you cast True Seeing it can be further enhanced by magic, i.e. it can be used with a Crystal Ball or Clairvoyance/Cleairaudience.

Dispel Falsehood (Sp): At 2nd Level when you cast Zone of Truth are also compelled to answer your questions if they fail a Save.

At 5th Level you get a +4 on Caster Level Checks when using Dispel Magic against spells that conceal the truth (most Illusions, some Transmutation).

At 8th Level when you cast Illusion Purge, the area increases to a 15 foot emanation.

Castigate (Su): At 3rd Level whenever you succeed on a Sense Motive vs Bluff Check, the opponent takes damage equal to your Truthseeker Level.

At 6th Level anyone making a Bluff Check within 15 feet of you takes damage equal to your Truthseeker Level.

At 9th Level anyone using a skill, power, spell or effect to conceal their true nature (Disguise skill or Disguise Self for example) within 15 feet of you takes damage equal to your Truthseeker Level.

Speak the Truth (Sp): At 10th Level you can cast Holy Word 3/day as a Spell-Like ability.
 
PLAYING A TRUTHSEEKER
 Anytime there is a political or judicial dispute that has stalled, you are brought in to compel all sides to tell the truth.  This inevitably leads to one or both sides discreetly trying to have you assassinated.  Or someone publicly rying to destroy your credibility.
 Combat: As capable of combat as most Clerics, you generally refrain from it.  You tend more towards the 'healer and purveyor of wisdom' archetype.
 Advancement: Advancement will depend on whether or not you have a patron.  If not you will need survival skills.  If so, your patron will likely pressure you to adapt to his needs.
Resources: You will either have a wealthy patron, or be a despised outcast.  There's rarely any middle ground with your kind.

TRUTHSEEKERS IN THE WORLD
"Honesty is overrated."
 You occupy an odd lace where you're spat on by society as a minority, yet the first in line to be called upon in times of trouble and unrest.  Were you more vengeful, society might rue it's choices...
 Daily Life: Much of your time is spent tending to your congregation, and trying ti avoid notice.  Inevitably though, you will be pulled back into the limelight and controversy.
 Notables:
 Organizations: Some organization or powerful individual almost always has temporary need of your services.

NPC Reaction
 NPC's tend to be nervous around you.  Even if they've done nothing wrong, they still seem to feel guilty.

TRUTHSEEKERS IN THE GAME
 Truthseekers will make running a mystery damn difficult.
 Adaptation: This is meant for fairly serious campaigns set in Al-Qadim, but can be adapted.
 Encounters: PC's tens to encounter Truthseekers at trials, political counsels, or any meeting in which there are arguments.

Sample Encounter
EL 12: The PC's are involved in a brutal incident at the market bazaar, and are hauled before the local noble's court.   Setting at their soon-to-be judge's side is a giant of a man with a single eye as clear and blue as the desert sky.  His calm is unnerving, as is his beatific smile.

"Gods, I love the smell of burning towns in the morning."

 The original Blackwater guards were a mercenary group led by an exceptional Ogre named Blackwater  Baromeg.  Hic company enjoyed such success they founded their own nomadic kingdom.  After Baromeg's death the kingdom splintered, and now many mercenary groups use variationson the Blackwater name to drum up business.

Weapon Proficiencies: A Blackwater Guard gains Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Stonecrown Arbalest).
 
Military Occupational Specialty (Ex): Beginning at 1st Level you may choose Halberdier, Arbalist, or Cavalier.  You gain a Bonus Feat at Levels 1, 4, and 7 (which Feat depends on the specialty to your choose): Arbalist (Point Blank Shot, Rapid Reload, Penetrating Shot.), Cavalier (Mounted Combat, Ride-By Attack, Spirited Charge.), Halberdier (Weapon Focus, Shield and Pike Style, Formation Expert.  Despite the name you can wield any polearm.).

Bonus Feat: At Levels 2, 5, and 8 the Guard can choose any Fighter Feat or Racial Feat as a Bonus Feat.

Warcraft (Ex): At Levels 3,6, and 9 you get an ability dependent on what you chose for your 1st Level specialty.

  Arbalist: At 3rd Level reloading the Arbalest is the same as a Heavy Crossbow for purposes of the Rapid Reload Feat.  At 6th Level the Arbalest does x3 damage on a successful critical.  At 9th Level when using the Arbalest you may ignore non-magical miss chances due to concealment.

  Cavalier: At 3rd Level when you fight mounted, your mount also gains the benefits of your Racial Frenzy ability.  At 6th Level your mount also gains the benefits of any Feats that modify your Frenzy ability.  At 9th Level your mount can make a Full Attack as part of a charge.

  Halberdier: At 3rd Level you can change your reach as a Move Action.  For example if you have a Reach weapon you may decide to attack adjacent opponents with it as a Move Action.  At 6th Level this becomes a Swift Action.  At 9th Level you threatend a critical with a natural 19-20.

Veteran (Ex): At 10th Level you do double your Str damage on applicable weapon attacks (triple for two handed weapons).

PLAYING A BLACKWATER GUARD
 You are among the best of the best, or at least your public relations firm makes that claim.  You still try your best to live up to the Blackwater name.
 Combat: Guards specialize in one form of combat, usually either arbalests or polearms being the stereotype.  The companies keep several of each on hand to attend to the needs of their clients.
 Advancement: Once a guard chooses a combat specialization they tend to continue to improve on that.
Resources: Resources available will depend on how well your company does as mercs.  You could be either poor or fabulously wealthy.

BLACKWATER GUARDS IN THE WORLD
"TAKE A F______ BATH!  Is that so hard!"
 You mostly interact with the world by setting it on fire (or blowing it up if you got some mages on your side).  Many of you also try to refine your own personal stench to it's most devastating. 
 Daily Life: Your job is your life, and everything pretty much revolves around it.
 Notables:
 Organizations: Most Guards don't belong to any groups other than their own mercenary company.

NPC Reaction
 NPC's generally like mercs if they're hiring them, and fear them if they aren't.  Add to that you're being a stinky giant, and you can pretty much guarantee social interaction.

BLACKWATER GUARDS IN THE GAME
 The party could get a lot of side eye if they contain a small giant that smells like a dead skunk and has piercings all over it's body.
 Adaptation: This is obviously meant for Birthright campaigns, but it should be easily adaptable.
 Encounters: Blackwater Guards can be encountered anywhere you normally see mercenaries.

Sample Encounter
EL x: The PC's have been sent to rob a ware house guarded by what appear to be disturbingly competent Ogres.

Weapon Proficiencies: A Nzunta Footsoldier gains no new weapon or armor proficiencies.

Aquatic Warrior (Ex): At 1st Level you gain the Aquatic Subtype, but remain capable of breathing air.  At 4th Level you gain Blindsense with a 30 foot radius when under water.  At 7th Level your attacks no longer take the -2 penalty for being used underwater.

Tonkk Warfare (Ex): At Levels 2, 5 and 8 you may choose one of the following Bonus Feats: Able Sniper, Brutal Throw, Far Shot, Greater Weapon Focus (Tonkk), Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Ranged Disarm, Weapon Focus (Tonkk).

Blessings of Zeboim: At Levels 3, 6 and 9 you gain one of the Blessings of Zeboim from the following list:

Aboleth's Tentacles (Ex): (Prerequisite: 9th Level) The Footsoldier gains two additional tentacle attacks with a Full Attack that do 1d6 plus half Str damage.  Opponent who are successfully struck by these tentacles must make a Fortitude Save (Save DC is Con based) or be unable to breathe for 1d6 rounds (see drowning rules in DMG).

Amphi-Dragon's Breath (Su): Once every 1d4 rounds the Footsoldier can breathe a 60 foot line of Acid doing 5d6 damage (Reflex save for half damage, Save DC is Con based).

Dragon's Fear (Ex): When the Footsoldier attacks or charges all living creatures within 30 ft. must wake a Willpower Save  (Save DC is Cha based), or become Shaken for 2d4 rounds.  If the Save is successful, that opponent is immune to this Footsoldier's Frightful Presence for 24 hours.

Imp's Cold (Ex): A Footsoldier’s body generates intense cold, causing opponents to take an extra 1d4 points of
cold damage every time it succeeds with an Unarmed strike, grapple or natural attack. Creatures attacking a Footsoldier unarmed or with natural weapons take this same cold damage each time one of their attacks hits.

Kalothagh Spines (Ex): Any creatures within 5 feet of a Footsoldier must succeed at a Reflex save each round or take 1d6 piercing damage. The save DC is Dexterity-based.  Any creature hurt by a Footsoldier’s spines through this method or its attack must succeed at a Reflex save, or the barbed spines will hook in the creature’s flesh, causing the spine to detach from the Footsoldier.  Removing the spines results in another 1d4 points of damage. A Footsoldier is assumed to have 2d8+16 spines at any given time. It takes one week for its spines to grow back.

Magori's Blood (Ex): Whenever an opponent within 5 feet of the Footsoldier deals damage to it with a slashing or piercing
weapon, he must make a DC Reflex save or take 2d4 points of acid damage as the Footsoldier’s blood splatters him. Success
negates all damage. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Veteran: So long  as you are touching the sea you are immune to critical hits.

PLAYING A NZUNTA FOOTSOLDIER
 The Nzunta are Gods, the true rulers of the world.  You were born to serve them, and they will reward you when the world is theirs again.
 Combat: You try to lure opponents into the water where they are more vulnerable.  You're also fond of ambushing ships, pulling sailors off the decks.
 Advancement: How you advance depends entirely on your masters.
Resources: You have what you can steal or what the Nzunta give you.

NZUNTA FOOTSOLDIERS IN THE WORLD
"If you see tall stone towers on an island, give it a wide berth."
 As far as the world knows the Orughi are marauding brutes, much like any other.  No one suspects your hidden masters.
 Daily Life: Much of your day is spent hunting and fishing unless your masters need you.  Or a ship sails too close.
 Notables:
 Organizations: Being servants of the Nzunta, you pretty much aren't allowed to have other ties.

NPC Reaction
 You're a monster, NPC's treat you much like any other monster.

NZUNTA FOOTSOLDIERS IN THE GAME
 This assumes the PC is the servant of an evil empire hellbent on world domination (or at least they consider themselves that).  Might be best as an NPC class.
 Adaptation: This is meant for Evil Campaigns set in the oceans of the Forgotten Realms.
 Encounters: The Orughi and their masters only exist on remote islands north of Ansalon.

Sample Encounter
EL x: The PC's run aground in a horrible storm.  The superstitious crew is terrified of the stone towers on the island.  Turns out they have reason to be.

ASKAR


   
"I will not hear you speak about my home in this manner!"

 Askars are the default civilized warrior in Al-Qadim.  They serve as city and caravan guards and the personal guard of the nobility.  They are urbane, literate and in a good position to become rulers themselves someday.  Their one flaw is a tendency towards chauvinism and nationalism.  Even in their country of origin they tend to believe their particular city is the best the country has to offer.

BECOMING AN ASKAR
Just about any Fighter qualifies easily.

 ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
   Special:  Cannot be illiterate
   Feats:  Weapon Focus (Scimitar or Spear), Weapon Specialization (Scimitar or Spear), any other Fighter Feat
   Skills:  Craft (armor, weapons) 4 ranks


Class Skills
 The Askar's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Appraise (Int), Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Gather Information (Cha), Intimidate (Cha), Jump (Str), Knowledge (local) (Int), Listen (Wis), Perform (Cha), Profession (Wis), Ride (Dex) and Spot (Wis).

Military Training (Ex):  At 3rd Level you gain a +1 Bonus to Attack  and Initiative rolls while defending your city, it's inhabitants, or an Ally.  This increases to +2 at Level 6, and +3 at Level 9.

Veteran (Ex): At 10th Level you are immune to Mind-Affecting Effects.
 
PLAYING AN ASKAR
 Your town is the best town.  You know it's the best town because it's yours.  And everyone else is nothing by way of comparison.  Sure, your town might be a dirt farm, but it's a very moral, upstanding dirt farm.
 Combat: You tend to be a bog standard guardsman.  Combat tends to be infrequent, but quite desperate when it does.  Staying alert is your friend.
 Advancement: Your advancement depends on the needs of your city.
Resources: Most Askars enjoy the patronage of the city, so depending on how stingy the locals are you can usually enjoy things like discounts from the local merchants.

ASKAR IN THE WORLD
"Do not discuss politics with the guards..."
 Askars can sometimes be local celebrities, and even the ones who aren't are still 'local boys'.  At least to the locals.  The worst Askar can be violent bigots who bring shame to the profession.
 Daily Life: Generally you spend your days guarding something or someone.  With luck there are no raids on your shift.
 Notables:
 Organizations: All Askar belong to their local army or militia, and many belong to Merchants Guilds or other civic associations.

NPC Reaction
 Locals love you.  Outsiders...not so much.

ASKAR IN THE GAME
 This assumes you're a local guard, which may be difficult to craft adventures in which you aren't traveling on behalf of the town or it's inhabitants.
 Adaptation: This is meant for Al-Qadim, but can be used as a generic local militia PrC.
 Encounters: PC's will generally see Askar when entering their city or any important location within it.  They might also be guarding merchants or nobles who are traveling.

Sample Encounter
EL 12: The PC's are entering a town for supplies, and are halted by the local guards

"My hearing is better than the average dogs you know."

 A Watcher is a Fachan employed as a watchman for a local Lord or tribe.  Their job is to warn the tribe of danger, stall or sabotage interlopers, and scout for raiding parties.

 ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
   Race:  Fachan
   Skills:  Hide 4 ranks, Listen 4 ranks, Move Silently 4 ranks, Spot 4 ranks

10.+10   +7     +3     +3   Veteran Watcher
Weapon Proficiencies: A Watcher gains no new weapon or armor proficiencies.

Ambush (Ex): In any round in which the Watcher makes an attack against an opponent who is Flat-Footed or unaware of his presence he does +1d6 damage. He also gets this bonus to ranged attacks performed on any round in which he does not move. This extra damage increases by 1d6 at Levels 4 and 7.

The extra damage only applies against living creatures that have a discernible anatomy. Undead, constructs, oozes, plants, incorporeal creatures, and creatures immune to extra damage from critical hits are not vulnerable to this additional damage. The Watcher must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. Watchers can apply this extra damage to ranged attacks made while ambushing, but only if the target is within 30 feet.

At 3rd level, the applicable range for your Ambush attack increases by +20', and it increases by another +20 ft. at Level 7.

A Watcher loses this ability when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load. If she gains the Ambush ability from another class, the bonuses stack.

Stealthy: At 2nd Level you gain Stealthy as a Bonus Feat.

Track: At 3rd Level you gain Track as a Bonus Feat.

Camouflage (Ex): Identical to the Ranger Ability of the same name listed in the PHB.

Woodland Stride (Ex): Identical to the Ranger Ability of the same name listed in the PHB.

Hide in Plain Sight (Ex): Identical to the Ranger Ability of the same name listed in the PHB.

Swift Tracker (Ex): Identical to the Ranger Ability of the same name listed in the PHB.

Veteran Watcher: At 10th Level the range of your Greater Hearing Feat increases 20 ft., and you no longer take Size Penalties to Hide Checks.  Any Penalties you gain to Listen or Spot Checks due to range are lowered by 2.
 
PLAYING A WATCHER
 People (well monsters usually) hire you as guards.  Your entire purpose is to make sure outsiders don't get close to your charge.
 Combat: You're the watchman who acts as an early warning system to the tribe/person who hired you.  Speed and perception are at least as important as martial skill for you, as you prefer to attack from ambush.
 Advancement: Most Watchers progress similarly.  They have a pretty limited skillset.
Resources: You usually have a patron Orc or Ogre tribe.  The lucky among you get jobs with less discriminating would be tyrants with money.

WATCHERS IN THE WORLD

'Keep yer eyes open, the local Giants are surprisingly good at hiding."
 On duty you don't interact with the world at all, unless there are intruders or war is declared.  Even off duty your personality drives others off.
 Daily Life: Much of your day is spent on some lonely mountain in the middle of nowhere listening intently for trouble.  In less boring times you scout for some rich guys army.
 Notables:
 Organizations: Most of you are hired by Orc or Ogre tribes.  Some of the luckier Watchers become mercs for armies.

NPC Reaction
 NPC's treat you like any other bloodthirsty monster.  Which is what you are.

WATCHERS IN THE GAME
 This assumes the PC is both a member of an Evil anthropophagous race, and hired to guard someone or something.  Might get the PC's in a bit of a situation when they enter town...
 Adaptation: This is a probably best for all Evil campaigns, but could be adapted to races of similar build and abilities.
 Encounters: Watchers are generally found guarding Orc, Ogre or Fachan encampments, though on rare occasion other Evil beings will hire them.

Sample Encounter
EL x: The PC's have been hired to help destroy a local Orc Warren.  Something is killing of the Lords men en route to it, and he wants you to eliminate that something.

Fachan Racial Feats

Improved Hearing
You can hear better than the average bat.
 Prerequisites: Fachan
 Benefits: The Check DC of your Listen Checks extends from +1 per 10 feet to +1 per 100 feet.


Greater Hearing
You even do well against invisible opponents.
 Prerequisites: Fachan, Improved Hearing
 Benefits:  You can sense all foes within 40 feet as a sighted creature would. Beyond that range, you treat all targets as having total concealment.

You are susceptible to sound- and scent-based attacks, however, and are affected normally by loud noises and sonic spells (such as ghost sound or silence) and overpowering odors (such as stinking cloud or incense-heavy air). Negating your sense of smell or hearing reduces this ability to normal Blind-Fight (as the feat). If both these senses are negated, you are effectively blinded.


Hard Hitting
You are good with melee weapons.
 Prerequisites: Fachan, Power Attack
 Benefits: When using your Power Attack Feat you do +2 damage, and have a +2 Bonus on Critical Confirmation rolls.


Harder Hitting
You have received further combat training.
 Prerequisites: Fachan, Hard Hitting
 Benefits: Your bonus to damage and Critical Confirmation rolls increases to +4.

Weapon Proficiencies: A Sentry gains proficiency with all one handed Martial melee weapons.

Good Ole Fashioned Racism (Ex): This is identical to the Favored Enemy ability listed under the Ranger Class in the PHB, with the exception that the Sentry can only choose Humanoids.  Preferably Gnomes or Dwarves.

Evasion (Ex): Identical to the Rogue Ability of the same name listed in the PHB.

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

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

YAR! (Ex): Every 1d4 rounds you can spring into the air and attack your foe from an unexpected direction.   As part of this maneuver, you attempt a Jump check to leap into the air and make a melee attack that targets your foe’s upper body, face, and neck. The Jump check’s DC is equal to your target’s AC. If this check succeeds, your attack deals an extra 2d6 points of damage. If this attack threatens a critical hit, you gain a +4 bonus on your roll to confirm the critical hit.  If your check fails, you can still attack, but you do not deal extra damage or gain a bonus on a  roll to confirm a critical hit. 

At 6th Level the extra damage increases to +4d6.

At 8th Level the extra damage increases to +6d6.

Exterminator (Ex): At 10th Level you may use Yar every other round.
 
PLAYING A SENTRY
 People (well monsters usually) hire you as guards.  Your entire purpose is to make sure outsiders don't find, or assault, you patron.
 Combat: You're the watchman who acts as an early warning system to the tribe/person who hired you.  Hit and Run is the style you prefer, taking advantage of your agility.
 Advancement: Most Sentries progress similarly.  You're all about the fighting.
Resources: You usually have a patron Orc or Ogre tribe.  The lucky among you get jobs with less discriminating would be tyrants with money.


SENTRIES IN THE WORLD
'Freaks..."
 On duty you don't interact with the world at all, unless there are intruders or war is declared.  Even off duty your personality drives others off.
 Daily Life: Much of your day is spent on some lonely mountain in the middle of nowhere listening intently for trouble.  In less boring times you kill Dwarves and Gnomes for paying customers.
 Notables:
 Organizations: Most of you are hired by Orc or Ogre tribes.  Some of the luckier Watchers become mercs for armies.

NPC Reaction
  NPC's treat you like any other bloodthirsty monster.  Which is what you are.

SENTRIES IN THE GAME
 This assumes the PC is both a member of an Evil anthropophagous race, and hired to guard someone or something.  Might get the PC's in a bit of a situation when they enter town...
 Adaptation: This is a probably best for all Evil campaigns, but could be adapted to races of similar build and abilities.
 Encounters: Sentries are generally found guarding Orc, Ogre or Fachan encampments, though on rare occasion other Evil beings will hire them.


Sample Encounter
EL x: The PC's are visiting friends in a Gnome village, when a bunch of weird Giants jump the wall and start kicking ass.

Good Ole Fashioned Racism Beginning at Level 21 and every 3 Levels thereafter you receive an additional +2 against one specific Humanoid Subtype.
Bonus Feats: The Epic Sentry gains a Bonus Feat every 3 levels higher than 20th.



Fachan Racial Feats

Improved Hearing
You can hear better than the average bat.
 Prerequisites: Fachan
 Benefits: The Check DC of your Listen Checks extends from +1 per 10 feet to +1 per 100 feet.


Greater Hearing
You even do well against invisible opponents.
 Prerequisites: Fachan, Improved Hearing
 Benefits:  You can sense all foes within 40 feet as a sighted creature would. Beyond that range, you treat all targets as having total concealment.

You are susceptible to sound- and scent-based attacks, however, and are affected normally by loud noises and sonic spells (such as ghost sound or silence) and overpowering odors (such as stinking cloud or incense-heavy air). Negating your sense of smell or hearing reduces this ability to normal Blind-Fight (as the feat). If both these senses are negated, you are effectively blinded.


Oddly Bodied
You are good with melee weapons.
 Prerequisites: Fachan, Dex 15+
 Benefits: Your opponents do not gain the use of AC Bonuses that specifically target Giants (such as the Dwarf and Gnomes Racial abilities) against you.

 Benefits: You gain one and a half times your Str Modifier as a Bonus to melee damage rolls.

GRUUMSH-KIN


   
"If I'm so blessed by the God, why are you giving me orders?"

 A Gruumsh-Kin is a Fachan raised by fanatical Orc cultists as a living weapon.  Something they excel at so long as they don't realize they're being duped into participating in the religion of another species when by rights they should have Vaprak as a God.

BECOMING A GRUUMSH-KIN
Any Fachan accepted by the Cult of Gruumsh will do.

 ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
   Race:  Fachan
   Class Ability:  Favored Enemy (Humanoid), Improved Combat Style.
   Skills:  Hide (4 ranks), Move Silently (4 ranks)
   Feats:   Coiled Spring, Improved Hearing


Class Skills
 The Gruumsh-Kin's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Climb (Str), Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Hide (Dex), Jump (Str), Knowledge (religion) (Int), Knowledge (geography) (Int), Knowledge (nature) (Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Profession (Wis), Search (Int), Spot (Wis), Survival (Wis), and Swim (Str).

Weapon Proficiencies: A Gruumsh-Kin gains no new weapon or armor proficiencies.

Favored Enemy (Ex): This is identical to the Ranger Ability  of the same name and stacks with it.

Eye of Gruumsh: At Levels 2, 5 and 8 you gain one spell to add to your spell list.  At Level 2 you add True Strike.  At Level 5 you add Locate Object, and at Level 8 you gain Clairvoyance/Clairaudience.  You may only cast these spells if your Ranger Caster Level is sufficient to cast a spell of that Level.  For example if you wish to cast True Strike you must be capable of casting 1st Level Ranger spells.

Gruumsh's Favor: At Level 3 you may choose one Domain of Gruumsh, and add it's spells yo your Ranger spell list.  You may choose an additional Domain at Levels 6 and 9.

A Giant's Strength (Su):  Your physical stature lets you function in many ways as if you were two size categories larger. Whenever you are subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for an opposed check (such as during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts), you are treated as two sizes larger if doing so is advantageous to you. However, your space and reach remain those of a creature of your actual size.  You also gain a +2 Inherent Bonus to Strength and Constitution.
 
PLAYING A GRUUMSH-KIN
 Your existence depends on not leaving any witnesses.  So long as the world thinks of you as some semi-mythical orc assassin they won't come looking for the real thing.  It helps that no one believes Orcs have the level of sophistication to pull off the things you do.
 Combat: Gruumsh-Kin are ambush artists and assassins who rely on stealth.  You have a few magical talents to back that up, but mostly you leap from the darkness and whack people upside the head.
 Advancement: You develop whichever skills your masters direct you to.
Resources: You have whichever resources the Church chooses to give you.

GRUUMSH-KIN IN THE WORLD
"Lets hope he never realizes the truth."
 Gruumsh-Kin are kept hidden from the world.  Their handlers don't want them to have contact with the outside.  If they realize they're cast 0ffs unwanted by their actual people and tricked into being the pet killers of zealots there may be hell to pay.
 Daily Life: You are kept in a constant state of religious indoctrination and fear until you are set to murder people for the glory of Gruumsh.
 Notables:
 Organizations: With the exception of exiles or Gruumsh-Kin who flee after realizing the truth, only the Church of Gruumsh employs you.

NPC Reaction
 You're an assassin, a violent religious zealot and a monster.  Three things people want kept far from them.

GRUUMSH-KIN IN THE GAME
 This assumes you are the catspaw of violent religious fanatics.  Might not be comfortable for some players.
 Adaptation: This is meant for all Evil Campaigns, but could be adapted for other God/Race combos.
 Encounters: Gruumsh-Kin will be found wherever their Church sends them, usually as assassins.

Sample Encounter
EL 12: The PC's are stuck in a swamp when a 3 foot tall whatsit jumps out of the bushes and demands they surrender.  They are in no mood for these shenanigans.

Weapon Proficiencies: A Mage Killer gains no new weapon or armor proficiencies.

Combat Style (Ex): At Levels 1, 4 and 7 the Mage Killer gains a Bonus Feat.  The exact Feat depends on which Combat Style the Mage Killer chooses:  Greatsword: 1st (Power Attack). 4th (Combat Reflexes), 7th (Large and in Charge).  Longbow: 1st (Point Blank Shot). 4th (Far Shot), 7th (Penetrating Shot).  Magus: 1st (Spectral Warrior), 4th (Spectral Skirmisher), 7th (Sky Warrior).

Resistance (Su): At 2nd level, a Mage Killer gains a bonus equal to his Charisma bonus (minimum +1) on saving throws against spells and spell-like effects.

Improved Spell-Like Ability (Sp): At Levels 2, 5 and 8 you may choose one Bonus Feat from the following list: Boost Spell-Like Ability, Heighten Spell-Like Ability, or Quicken Spell-Like Ability.
 
Mettle (Ex): At 5th level and higher, a Mage Killer can resist magical and unusual attacks with great willpower or fortitude. If he makes a successful Will or Fortitude save against an attack that normally would have a lesser effect on a successful save (such as any spell with a saving throw entry of Will half or Fortitude partial), he instead completely negates the effect. An unconscious or sleeping Mage Killer does not gain the benefit of mettle.

Displacement (Sp): You may now use your Racial Blur Ability 3/day, and it has an enhanced effect.  The miss chance is 50% instead of 20%.  While using this ability the Mage Killer gains a +8 Circumstance Bonus to Hide Checks.

Veteran: At 10th Level,  you learn to cast one of the following 1/day as a Spell-Like Ability: Veil, Otiluke's Freezing Sphere, Stone Body.

PLAYING A MAGE KILLER
 Without you the tribe dies, or worse.  You need to be ever vigilant.  Especially of outsiders.
 Combat: Combat is your entire life.  Your specialty may vary, but you always try to be the best you are at what you do.
 Advancement: You focus purely on combat, and sniffing out danger.  There's no time for anything else.
Resources: You have the entire tribe to back you up.

MAGE KILLERS IN THE WORLD
"Give him some space.  He pays a price for defending us."
 You keep the world at sword point.  If you don't, then your family ends up in chains.
 Daily Life: Your time is spent on guard, or in practice.
 Notables:
 Organizations: Unless exiled or captured you focus solely on the tribe..

NPC Reaction
 NPC's think of you as a dangerous monster.  You're generally too busy killing them to tell them they're the real monsters.

MAGE KILLERS IN THE GAME
 This class limits the player geographically, unless he can serve his tribe by traveling, or he is no longer with them.
 Adaptation: This is mean for Al-Qadim, but can be adapted to other worlds or races.
 Encounters: Mage Killers are generally found as slaves, tribal defenders or outlaws.

Sample Encounter
EL x: The PC's have been caught by a press gang, but a battle scarred Ogrima tells them an escape is planned for that night.  The group would feel more relieved if he weren't drunk and insane.

Deep Dwellers are subterranean Trolls with far more intelligence than their brethren.  They are bigger and stronger than most Trolls, and miners and smiths on par with the Dwarves.  They have domesticated an Allosaurus species, which they have trained for warfare.  Despite being blinded by the Sun, they show no fear of it.

Rend (Ex): If a troll hits with both claw attacks, it latches onto the opponent’s body and tears the flesh. This attack automatically deals an additional 2d6+10 points of damage.

Regeneration (Ex): Fire and acid deal normal damage to a troll. If a troll loses a limb or body part, the lost portion regrows in 3d6 minutes. The creature can reattach the severed member instantly by holding it to the stump.

Light Vulnerability (Ex): Dark Dwellers are blind in full sunlight or within the effects of a Dayligght spell.

Stonecunning (Ex): This ability grants a Dweller a +2 racial bonus on Search checks to notice unusual stonework, such as sliding walls, stonework traps, new construction (even when built to match the old), unsafe stone surfaces, shaky stone ceilings, and the like. Something that isn’t stone but that is disguised as stone also counts as unusual stonework. A Dweller who merely comes within 10 feet of unusual stonework can make a Search check as if he were actively searching, and a Dweller can use the Search skill to find stonework traps as a rogue can. A Dweller can also intuit depth, sensing his approximate depth underground as naturally as a human can sense which way is up.

Skills: Deep Dwellers have a +2 Racial Bonus on Appraise or Craft Checks on items of stone or metal.

Combat:  Deep Dwellers use their Allosaur mounts to extend the range of night raids.  They prefer ambushes with traps in their lair, but are more typical soldiers on raids.

PLAYING A DESPOILER
 Water is a significant weakness for you, and you intend to make sure as little as possible exists anywhere near you.  Plus you kind of get your jollies by ruining nature.
 Combat: You aren't all that different from the average Troll as most of your powers aren't helpful in combat.
 Advancement: Despoilers are neither very bright or imaginative.  Most of them advance along fairly predictable lines.
Resources: Whatever you can scrounge up.

DESPOILERS IN THE WORLD
"Them Desert Trolls are bad news son.  Kill 'em all says I."
 The world is mostly interested in killing you.  Needless to say, you spend much of your time avoiding it.
 Daily Life: You pretty much spend your days like any other Troll, with the exception of wiping out oases.
 Notables:
 Organizations: There are some Evil beings who have use for your talents, but even most of them find you skeevy..

NPC Reaction
 You're more hated than regular Trolls, if such a thing is possible.

DESPOILERS IN THE GAME
 This is probably best for all Evil campaigns.
 Adaptation: This is probably modifiable for something less awful.  Maybe.
 Encounters: Despoilers are generally found making the desert a worse place to live.

Sample Encounter
EL 12: The PC's pull up to the only oasis within miles to find a troll peeing in the water.  The troll doesn't acknowledge them, which is generally a bad sign.

Bonus Feat: At Levels 1, 4 and 7 you can choose a Bonus Feat from the following list that you qualify for: Arcane Defense, Augment Summoning, Extend Legacy, Extra Legacy, Swift Legacy, Water Focus (Dragon 314).
 
Meta Legacy (Su): At Levels 2, 5 and 8 you can choose one of the following effects to apply to a single Legacy you have (only one of these may be applied to any one Legacy):

Empower:  All variable, numeric effects of an empowered Legacy are increased by one-half.  Saving throws and opposed rolls are not affected, nor are Legaciess without random variables.

Enlarge: This may only be taken with Legacies that have a range. That range is now doubled.

Maximize: All variable, numeric effects of a Legacy modified by this ability are maximized. Saving throws and opposed rolls are not affected, nor are Legacies without random variables.

Eel Companion (Ex): At 3rd Level you gain an Animal Companion.  This is identical t the Druid ability of the same name, but you can only choose a Dire Eel as your companion.

Improved Water Magic:  The Save DC's of spells you cast while in the water increase by an additional +1.

Legacy Master (Su):  At 10th Level you may choose 1 Legacy you have.  You may now use that Legacy at will.

PLAYING A LEGACY SHAMAN
 You have ambitions to be more than just a mere raider.  You want others to see you aas more than a beast.
 Combat: You prefer your natural abilities or Legacies in combat.  Your spells are saved for particularly hard targets.
 Advancement: You prefer to master the use of your Legacies.  Controlling them sets you apart from the others.
Resources: You have whatever you, or the tribe, can seize by force.

LEGACY SHAMANS IN THE WORLD
"Jiggly Bob is...unusual for a troll."
 You don't raid as much as the other trolls, and seem reasonable for a monster.  It makes you the default contact point if someone wishes to speak to the tribe.
 Daily Life: Much of your day is spent refining your abilities and seeking out new ones.
 Notables:
 Organizations: You work for yourself, and occasionally the tribe.  Everyone else can sod off.

NPC Reaction
 NPC's think of you as a monster still.  You're just a monster they can deal with because you can control your appetites.

LEGACY SHAMANS IN THE GAME
 This assumes one of the PC's is a spellcasting Troll, which is awkward at best.
 Adaptation: This is meant for troll-centric campaigns, but it could be redesigned as a more general Legacy based caster.
 Encounters: Legacy Shamans are generally found in their lairs, or on raids.

Sample Encounter
EL x: "Hi, I'm Jiggly Bob.  And  this is my boon companion, Jiggly Bill."
