DURZAGON


   
"If mortals were shown what they're really like, they'd either kill one another as vermin, or hang themselves."

 Durzagon resemble taller, leaner Duergar with rust colored skin.  They have sharp claws and teeth, and a grey beard with red streaks that conceals 2 poison spines.

DURZAGON RACIAL TRAITS
·   +4 Str, +4 Des, +4 Com, +4 Int, -2 Cha
·   Size Class: Medium
·   Outsider with the Dwarf, Evil, Lawful and Native Subtypes
·   Base land speed 30 ft.
·   Darkvision 120 ft.
·   Beard (Ex):  If a Durzagon hits a single opponent with both claw attacks, it automatically hits with its beard. The affected creature takes 1d3 plus Str Modifier points of damage and must succeed on a Fortitude save (Save DC is 10 plus 1/2 HD plus Con Modifier) or be Poisoned (initial and secondary damage 1d4 Str).
·   Spell-Like Abilities (Sp): 3/day: Darkness.  1/Day: Desecrate, Enlarge Person (Self Only, can be used despite the Durzagon being an Outsider), Invisibility, Unholy Blight.
·   Energy Resistance (Ex): Durzagon have Energy Resistance 10 to Acid, Cold, Electricity and Fire
·   Damage Reduction (Ex): DR 10/Magic
·   Immunities (Ex): Durzagon are immune to paralysis, phantasms and poison.
·   Duergar traits (Ex):  +2 racial bonus on saving throws against spells and spell-like effects., +1 racial bonus on attack rolls against orcs and goblinoids, +4 dodge bonus to Armor Class against monsters of the giant type. Any time a creature loses its Dexterity bonus (if any) to Armor Class, such as when it’s caught flat-footed, it loses its dodge bonus, too.
·   Stonecunning: This ability grants a Durzagon 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 Durzagon who merely comes within 10 feet of unusual stonework can make a Search check as if he were actively searching, and a dwarf can use the Search skill to find stonework traps as a rogue can. A Durzagon can also intuit depth, sensing his approximate depth underground as naturally as a human can sense which way is up.
·   Light Sensitivity: Durzagons are Dazzled within bright sunlight or the confines of a Daylight spell.
·   Spell Resistance 15
·   Racial Hit Dice: A Durzagon begins with five levels of Outsider, which provide 5d8 Hit Dice, a base attack bonus of +5 and base saving throw bonuses of Fort +4, Ref +4, and Will +4.  A Durzagon's Outsider levels give it skill points equal to 8 × (8 + Int modifier, minimum 1). Its class skills are Appraise, Bluff, Craft, Intimidate, Listen, Move Silently, Search, Sense Motive and Spot.  Durzagon gain a +4 Racial Bonus on Move Silently Checks, and a +1 Racial Bonus on Listen and Spot Checks.  They get 2 Feats.

DURZAGON CHARACTERS
 You're better at melee than being a Cleric.  The Feats and PrC are designed to combat this, but...
 Adventuring Race: Durzagon adventure to spread their dark faith, or because they have been exiled.
 Character Development: You have both LA and Racial Hit Dice.  Make sure to take racial Feats if you insist on being a Cleric (why did you do this Wizards?).
 Character Names: Durzagon usually use Dwarven or Duergar names.

ROLEPLAYING A DURZAGON
 You are cynical and nihilistic, even for a Duergar. 
 Personality: You are grim and humorless, viewing the entire world outside of yourself as an enemy.  Your hallmark is petty cruelty.
 Behaviors: You either work to subvert Duergar society for your Infernal masters, or work to prevent their success out of shame.
 Language: Durzagon speak Undercommon and Dwarf.  Many also speak Infernal.

DURZAGON SOCIETY
 Durzagon are leaders in Duergar society, and as such they tend to influence it.
 Alignment : Durzagon are almost universally Lawful and Evil.
 Lands : Like the Duergar, the Durzagon live in the Underdark (preferably near volcanoes).
 Settlements : Durzagon only settle outside Duergar cities at the orders of their devilish sires.
 Beliefs : Besides Laduguer, many Durzagon are frontmen for Devil cults.
 Relations: Durzagon are as xenophobic as their Dwarven parents.

DURZAGON ADVENTURES
·   You have been chosen to set up a Cult of Asmodeus among a local human village.  Unfortunately, they're all drug addled, peace loving goobers.  You're learning curve is expected to be steep.
·   The Blood War has moved into your neighborhood, as your mother has died and you're father has married an obvious (to you) Succubus.  This will not stand.
·   Things have been quiet lately.  Too quiet.  You check your backside for knives, but all appears to be well.  Now your paranoia is in full bloom...


DURZAGON RACIAL SUBSTITUTION LEVELS


CLERIC
 Level 1: Replace Turn or Rebuke Undead with Grimhammer
  Grimhammer (Su): You may enchant a warhammer (3 plus your Cha Modifier) times per day.  It becomes a +1 Defending Warhammer for the duration of the encounter.

FAVORED SOUL
 Level 5: Energy Resistance works a little differently.
  Energy Resistance: When you gain this ability, you may use it to increase one of your Racial Energy Resistances instead.

ROGUE
 Level 10: Gain new options with Rogue Special Ability
  Special Ability: You may now use your Racial Invisibility SLA at will now.

Weapon Proficiencies: A Burning Hammer gains no new weapon or armor proficiencies.
 
Improved Burning Hammer (Su): At 1st Level, whenever you successfully confirm a critical hit with your Burning Hammer, your opponent must make a Willpower Save (Save DC is 10 plus 1/2 HD plus Wisdom Modifier) or be affected as if you had successfully cast Crushing Despair on him (Caster Level is the same as any of your other spells). 

Hammercraft (Su): At 2nd Level, when you use your Grimhammer ability you may enchant one additional warhammer.  At Levels 5 and 8 you may enchant an additional warhammer.

High Priest (Su): At 10th Level your personal Grimhammer becomes a Spell Storing weapon.  This works like the magical weapon of the same name, but you can store spells of up to 5th Level in it.

PLAYING A BURNING HAMMER
 Life is good.  Being in the military of a race like the Duergar means you get to indulge in killing at your whim.  You even get pick of the loot  while ordering others around.  Hot damn, religion is fun.
 Combat: You prefer being on the front ine in melee, softening targets up with your hammer.
 Advancement: Burning Hammers are part of the military, so they tend to develop along preset lines.
Resources: You have the pick of resources from the military and clergy, which are pretty much the same.

BURNING HAMMER IN THE WORLD
"If you only have a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail."
 You spend the days preaching the good word.  Granted you convey much of that word via hammer blow, but being Evil and all you have no problem with that.
 Daily Life: You're pretty damn busy.  Between your religious and secular duties you have virtually no down time.  Plus your temples raise the Steeders the Duergar ride, and they can be darn fussy.
 Notables:
 Organizations: Burning Hammers are in the ruling class among Duergar, and have no time for participating in other activities..

NPC Reaction
 Duergar adore you.  Non-Duergar...not so much.

BURNING HAMMERS IN THE GAME
 This assumes one of the PC's is the devotee of a violent, racist God.  Make sure everyone is ok with that.
 Adaptation: This is meant for the Forgotten Realms, but is easily modified.
 Encounters: PC's tend to encounter you in warfare or on the odd chance you get to spread a cult.

Sample Encounter
EL 12: The PC's are drinking peacefully, when the bowels of the Earth open up and vomit forth evil looking dwarves riding giant spiders.  The head dwarf asks "Where's them feckin' Elves?", and you all point outside, being as your eager to see the back of him.
