http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=422369 is what I have so far.  Perce's half-ogre is being used of course.  Expect to see it updated with the proto-creature template, and me going a bit nutti(er) trying to get into character.  lol

Sable was sneaky and took green so I think I'll take orange.  Might fiddle with it a bit to make it easier to read...

Edit:  Yep, you did write it Perce.  Can you tell I need sleep?  lol

Edit 2: Not entirely sure where to put affiliations, so I'll just write it here.

Crash is affiliated with the Delver's Guild since he's not disciplined enough for anything else while the Delvers can just point to an area for him and tell him to smash stuff, as long as he doesn't destroy any support structures.  Getting it into his head not to break supports took a bit but in the end he was taught enough not to screw up as long as he positioned himself alright.  He's figured out that if he brings back whatever he takes care of to a hall where others can inspect his findings (usually close to a waystation) he might get a reward.  Thus he brings back almost everything he finds.  Another trick he's learning is to memorize the layout and details of the area he was in (via autohypnosis) to help with mapping.  Unsurprisingly he's slow at it but is showing promise.

A team exploring the dungeons came upon a laboratory room where Crash had been experimented on and magically bound.  No one could tell if he had been kidnapped and taken there or grown magically.  Once found and talked with enough to not attack the explorers he was carefully freed, given a greatclub, and set upon his former captor who had been weakened from a battle with some monsters in another area.  It was in this inaugural fight that he earned the name Crash by killing his captor in one hit so violent it flung the corpse through several tables and vats, finally landing against and cracking a support column enough to collapse that area of the room.

Background:

(click to show/hide)

Izdrana began life as most Pyroclastic dragons do, born in the heart of an active volcano and raised among its enormous heat and toxic fumes. Pyroclastic dragons are however rather erratic and often rather cruel creatures and it is not unusual for a wyrmling to be forced from the nest by its brothers and sisters. Dragons, even wyrmlings are rather capable predators anyway and she quickly grew in size and power enough to consider going into a city. Dragons being nonhumanoid are prone to unprovoked murder in the imperium but there are very few who would willingly engage an adult for the chance of some hide and a little treasure so she deemed herself ready for city life shortly after mastering the ability to take humanoid form.
Many dragons are content with a hoard of coins or a collection of magical items but for Izdrana there is only one thing she desires, power over lesser creatures (meaning pretty much everyone but other dragons). She has an aggressive dominating personality and since joining the Chorun Char has been slowly rising in the ranks, true dragonhood means a lot there at least.

Class Abilities

(click to show/hide)

  Proficient with simple weapons and light armor, but not with shields.  No ASF from light Armor.

  Elemental Devotion (Ex): Earth element, Crushing Stone and Screeching Roc are its associated circles

  Elemental Companion (Ex):  If your elemental companion dies, you must make a DC 15 Fortitude save or take damage equal to its Hit Dice.  However, by spending 24 hours in uninterrupted meditation your elemental is returned to life as though it had been affected by a true resurrection spell.  You can only resurrect your elemental companion in this way once per week.

  Attuned Adept (Ex): Under a constant Endure Elements effect.  Also immune to the harmful effects of the Elemental Plane of Earth.

  Numen: You gain the ability to project the spellshape numen of your chosen element's associated circles (Crushing Stone and Screeching Roc).  You can only project one of these auras at a time, and it requires a full-round action to switch between numen.  If you later gain the ability to project spellshape numen from another source, you may still only project one numen at a time (unless you gain the ability to have multiple numen active at once).

   Elemental Incantation (Sp): At 2nd level, you gain the ability to shape the incantations associated with your chosen element's primary circle (Crushing Stone for earth).

   Devoted Adept (Ex): Beginning at 5th level, your abilities with your chosen element become more potent.  The save DC (if any) of any formulae of your elemental circle that you shape increases by 1.  This bonus stacks with the benefits of the Circle Focus and Greater Circle Focus feats.  Furthermore, when shaping a formula or spellshape attack from one of your element's associated circles, you gain a +1 bonus to your shaper level.

   In addition, your devotion to your chosen element allows you to wield its magic to damage creatures that would normally be unaffected.  When you shape spellshape attacks and arcane formulae associated with your chosen element, they ignore the damage reduction and energy resistance of creatures affected by them, and they still deal half damage to creatures with immunity to their damage types.

Spellshaping

(click to show/hide)

Circles: Crushing Stone, Roaring Tide, Screeching Roc, Searing Flame
Shaper Level: 6
DC = 10 + formula lvl + Cha mod
+2 for overcoming SR

Crushing Stone and Screeching Roc circles have save DCs and Shape Level increased by 1 and ignore DR and energy resistance of creatures affected by them and still deal half damage to creatures immune to their damage types.

Spellshapes cast as a swift action do not provoke attacks of opportunity.

Formulae Recovery: All expended formulae are recovered with a single swift action and then a spellshape attack or a standard action spent to do nothing.  You cannot shape a formula during the round you recover expended formulae

In addition, once per encounter, you can change your prepared formulae as a swift action.  However, changing your prepared formulae in this way leaves all of your formulae expended--even those that had already been prepared.

Formula Enhancement Options

(click to show/hide)

(The sum of the formula's level and the degrees of all metashaping feats applied to it cannot exceed ½ your shaper level rounded up.)

Heighten Formula: A heightened formula has a higher formula level than normal (up to a maximum level of ½ your shaper level).  Unlike other metashaping feats, Heighten Formula actually increases the effective level of the formula that it modifies.  All effects dependent on the formula's level (such as saving throw DCs and ability to penetrate a lesser globe of invulnerability) are calculated according to the heightened level.  In addition, major formulae that add damage to your spellshape attacks add an extra two dice of damage for each level by which you heighten the formula.
   Heighten Formula has a degree equal to the number of levels by which you choose to heighten the formula.


Sculpt Spellshape: You can sculpt your spellshape attack into either a cylinder (10-foot radius, 30 feet high), a 40-foot cone, four 10-foot cubes, a ball (20-foot-radius spread), or a 120-foot line.  When shaping a spellshape attack as a cylinder, set of four cubes, or ball, the attack has a range of Medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level).
   Creatures within the area of a sculpted formula take the same amount of damage that would normally be dealt by the relevant spellshape attack, including extra damage from formulae, with a Reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 your shaper level + your spellshaping ability modifier) for half damage.  Creatures that fail this save are treated as having been hit by your spellshape attack for the purpose of being affected by any major or minor formulae associated with it.
   Sculpt Spellshape is a 1st-degree metashaping feat.
   Special: You cannot apply Sculpt Spellshape to a formula that has been modified with the Chain Spellshape feat.  In addition, you can only apply Sculpt Spellshape to a spellshape attack that you would normally make as a ranged attack.
   Sculpt Spellshape allows you to have multiple instances of the same major formula in effect at once, as it can cause your attack to affect multiple creatures at once.  However, each individual target can be affected by the formula only once, and any subsequent shaping of that formula will replace any instances of that formula that you have active, as usual.
   If you possess the Spellshape Focus feat, the DC of the Reflex save associated with a sculpted spellshape increases by 1.  If you possess the Greater Spellshape Focus feat, the DC instead increases by 2.

Formulae Prepared: 6

^* Prepared

(click to show/hide)

   Crushing Stone: While under the effect of the Crushing Stone numen, you and your allies are as tough as stone, granting you a +4 bonus on Balance checks and checks to resist bull rush attempts.  In addition, an affected creature gains DR 2/-.  This damage reduction increases by 2 for every five shaper levels you have, to a maximum of DR 10/- at 20th level.

Special:

   Bonded Elemental: For each saving throw use elemental's base save bonuses or its master's, whichever is higher.  The elemental applies it's own ability modifiers to saves, and doesn't share any other bonuses on saves (such as from magic items or feats).
   In addition, it gains a +2 bonus on all attack rolls, checks, and saves if it witnesses its master being threatened or harmed.  This bonus lasts as long as the threat is immediate and apparent.

   Earth Mastery (Ex): +1 to hit and damage if both it and its foe are touching the ground.  If an opponent is airborne or waterborne, -4 penalty on attack and damage rolls.  (These modifiers are not included in the statistics block.)

   Earth Glide (Ex): Can glide through stone, dirt, or almost any other sort of earth except metal as easily as a fish swims through water.  Its burrowing leaves behind no tunnel or hole, nor does it create any ripple or other signs of its presence.  A move earth spell cast on an area containing a burrowing earth elemental flings the elemental back 30 feet, stunning the creature for 1 round unless it succeeds on a DC 15 Fortitude save.

   Push (Ex): Each time an earth elemental strikes an opponent in melee, it can make a Strength check opposed by the target's Strength check, as if initiating a bull rush; the earth elemental gains a +4 racial bonus on this check.  If the earth elemental succeeds, it pushes its opponent back 5 feet, plus an additional 5 feet for every 5 points by which its check result is greater than the defender's check result.

   Solid Traits: As a creature with the solid subtype, an earth elemental is not subject to critical hits, nonlethal damage, or ability drain, and it is immune to damage to its physical ability scores.  Due to the solid structure of its body, an earth elemental is affected by energy attacks and ranged weapons in the same way that an object would be (see page 165 of the Player's Handbook).  In addition, an earth elemental is immune to any effect that requires a Fortitude save, unless the effect also works on objects or is harmless, and is never at risk of death from massive damage.
   An earth elemental of Medium size or larger gains bonus hit points based on its size (as though it were a construct), as well as hardness 8.  These modifiers are already included in the statistics block.

   Stability (Ex): An earth elemental is exceptionally stable on its feet.  An earth elemental gains a +4 bonus on ability checks made to resist being bull rushed or tripped when standing on the ground (but not when climbing or otherwise not standing firmly on the ground).

  Empathic Link (Su): The elemental adept has an empathic link with his elemental companion out to a distance of 1 mile.  The elemental adept cannot see through the companion's eyes, but they can communicate empathically.  Note that even intelligent elementals see the world differently from humans, so misunderstandings are always possible.
   Because of this empathic link, the elemental adept has the same connection to an item or place that his companion does, just as a master and his familiar (see the Familiars sidebar, page 52 of the Player's Handbook).

   Evasion (Ex): If an elemental companion is subjected to an attack that normally allows a Reflex saving throw for half damage, it takes no damage if it makes a successful saving throw.

   Death Throes (Ex): When killed, an elemental adept's elemental companion explodes in a burst of elemental energy that deals 1d6 points of damage per Hit Die to anything within 20 feet, with a Reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 HD + elemental's Constitution modifier) for half damage.  An air elemental deals slashing damage with this ability, an earth or water elemental deals bludgeoning damage, and a fire elemental deals fire damage.

   Devotion (Ex): An elemental companion of a 3rd-level elemental adept is so devoted to its master that it gains a +4 morale bonus on Will saves against enchantment spells and effects.  This devotion also improves the elemental’s defenses, granting it a dodge bonus to its Armor Class equal to ¼ its master’s shaper level.

   Elemental Body (Ex):  An earth companion begins to demonstrate traits associated with a variety of different minerals.  The elemental's natural attacks are treated as adamantine, cold iron, and silver for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction or regeneration.

Background

Even as a child Garudon knew that he would never be as big as his kin, but he felt a connection with the Earth that kept him from being resentful about that fact.  He learned to develop that connection and control it, becoming an Elemental Adept and a shaman of elemental earth.

He always dreamed of joining the High Arcana Games, and believed that to do so he would need the backing of a powerful organization.  He first thought of joining the City Watch, but he had no interest in their corrupt ways.  He then turned to the Praesidio Arcanum, never even considering the Magi, both because of the opportunities to advance his non-traditional magical abilities as well as the power inherent within the group.  Garudo does his job efficiently, and presents himself as something of a mercenary with no affiliation due to the secrecy inherent in his position.

Class and Race Features/Special Abilities

(click to show/hide)

Choker body: A choker loses all other racial bonuses and gains aberration traits (basicaly darkvision 60 feet). The choker is a small sized aberration with base speed 20. It has two tentacle attacks dealing 1d3 damage+str modifier each. It can attack with both tentacles with full attack bonus in a full-round attack.

Constrict  (Ex): A choker deals 1d3+str points of damage with a successful grapple check against a Large or smaller creature. Because it seizes its victim by the neck, a creature in the choker’s grasp cannot speak or cast spells with verbal components.

Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a choker must hit a Large or smaller opponent with a tentacle attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can constrict. Chokers receive a +4 racial bonus on grapple checks.

Quickness (Su): A choker is capable of surprising bursts of speed by focusing. It can take an extra standard or move action per turn. However, the choker's mind is pushed hard to work at this greater speed, so it can't use this extra action to cast spells or manifest powers.

Climber: The choker's tentacles allow him to easily grab into surfaces, giving him a climb speed equal to half his land speed. A chokers has a +8 racial bonus on Climb checks and can always choose to take 10 on Climb checks, even if rushed or threatened.

Spellshape Breath weapon (Su): Either 15-ft. cone or 30-ft. line; Takes place of Spellshape attack, treated as under effect of Reshape Formula and Sculpt Spellshape feats for prerequisites.

Creatures in area of breath weapon are affected by any formula shaped as though targeted by it, unless they make a reflex save, which also halves damage.

Formulae and Maneuvers (see below)

Draconic Invocations (Sp): [Least] 2 (see below)

Draconic Empowerment (Su): When you reach 4th level, you gain the ability to channel the might of your totem dragon through your attacks.  This ability functions like a spellshape champion's spellshape channeling ability, except that it is a supernatural ability, not a spell-like ability, and attacks that you make with your channeled spellshape attack are therefore not subject to spell resistance.  You can channel only the spellshape attack granted to you by your totem dragon, but you can shape formulae from your secondary circle in the same way that you would with your normal spellshape breath weapon.  You may use this ability only while you are unable to use your normal spellshape breath weapon (such as while waiting between uses).

In addition, you gain a +1 enhancement bonus on all attack and damage rolls that you make with your natural attacks.  This bonus increases by an additional +1 for every three initiator levels that you gain beyond 4th, to a maximum of +6 at 19th level.

Totem Aura (Su): When you reach 2nd level, you gain the ability to project the spellshape aura of your totem dragon's associated circle (see the Anchorite for more information on spellshape auras).  If you later gain the ability to project spellshape auras from another source, you may still only project one aura at a time (unless you gain the ability to have multiple auras active at once).  It takes a full-round action to project a spellshape aura, but you can maintain the effect indefinitely.

Formulae

(click to show/hide)

Circles Known: Perfect Freeze (totem), Eternal Moment
(Formulae Known: 6, Formulae Prepared: 5)

Major Formulae:

(*) Ice Glaze [Cold]
Perfect Freeze 1
Effect: 10-ft.-radius spread
As a part of shaping this formula, you make a single frostray attack.  If it hits, a thin layer of slippery ice forms in a spread around your target, remaining in the same place even if your target later moves. Any creature entering the area or caught in it when the ice forms must make a DC 15 Balance check or slip, skid, and fall.  Those that succeed on the skill check can move at half speed across the surface, or can skate or glide normally.  However, those that remain in the area must each make a new skill check every round to avoid falling and be able to move.  The ice lingers for 3 rounds, after which time it melts away.

(*) Delaying Blast
Eternal Moment 2
Prerequisite: One Eternal Moment formula
Saving Throw: Will negates
As a part of shaping this formula, you make a single temporal blast attack that deals an extra 2d6 points of damage.  If it hits, your target must make a Will save or have its initiative count lowered for the next round and all subsequent rounds of combat.  On a failed save, your target's initiative count is lowered by 5, and its place in the initiative order changes accordingly.  This modifier applies at the end of the round.  Your target's place in the initiative order changes to reflect this formula's effect starting with the next round.
If your target has more than one initiative count, you choose which count to lower.


(*) Brain Freeze [Cold, Mind-Affecting]
Perfect Freeze 1
Saving Throw: Will negates

As a part of shaping this formula, you make a single frostray attack.  If it hits, your target must make a Will save or be forced to delay until the following round, acting immediately before you on your initiative count.


Torpor
Eternal Moment 2
Prerequisite: One Eternal Moment formula
Target: living creature
Saving Throw: Will negates
As a part of shaping this formula, you make a single temporal blast attack that deals an extra 2d6 points of damage.  If it hits, your target must make a Will save or become fatigued for 3 rounds.  In addition, for as long as the formula's effect lasts, your target's attacks deal no additional damage from his Strength modifier or the Power Attack feat.

Minor Formulae:

(*) Acceleration
Eternal Moment 1
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target: One creature
Duration: Instantaneous
When you shape this formula, its subject's initiative count improves by 3, and its place in the initiative order changes accordingly. This modifier applies at the end of the round.  The subject's place in the initiative order changes to reflect this formula's effect starting with the next round.

(*) Shivering Chill
Perfect Freeze 3
Prerequisite: One Perfect Freeze formula
You wield your frost magic in a way that lets your impair your foes.  Until the end of your turn, any creature damaged by your frostray begins to shiver uncontrollably.  The target can attempt a Fortitude save each round to shake off the effect.  Until the effect is shrugged off, the victim is hampered by extreme cold and is able to perform only a single move or standard action each round.

Spellshape Aura (Perfect Freeze):
You and all allies within your aura can walk across icy surfaces without reducing your speeds or making Balance checks. In addition, any creature that strikes you or one of your allies within your aura takes [4] points of cold damage.

Background

(click to show/hide)

Captured from the Dungeon at a young age, Olokuul spent his early years being the subject of arcane cryogenic experiments. These experiments aimed to use the gelid, magical blood of White Dragons and the innate, supernatural quickness of Chokers to artificially tamper with the laws of Time. The experiments didn't yield any noticeable results for Olokuul's captors, but by the time a small group of Chorrun Charr discovered and ended the kidnappers' experiments, he had already gained a small amount of skill in time alteration which he had managed to keep secret. Having been magically infused with dragon's blood, the Choker had begun taking on draconic aspects, and was at least enough dragonblooded for the Chorrun Charr members to take him with them to their headquarters. In reality, the Chorrun Charr team were just as interested in Olokuul's abilities as his former captors, and though it best to keep an eye on him. Never waste a potential resource, after all.

Early on, Olokuul exhibited more of the draconic traits he had inherited; it took quite some time for his body to balance itself and for his Choker traits to re-exert themselves. Over time, Olokuul learned to strengthen his abilities by combining them for maximum effectiveness, and even begain training with some masters of the Chorrun Charr in the Breath of Flame martial technique in order to gain mastery over his draconic powers.

Eventually, it was time to put the young Choker's abilities to the test, and gain some influence for the Chorrun Charr. Olokuul found a capable team, and entered the High Arcana Games ready to prove his strength.

Description

(click to show/hide)

Though somewhat stockier than normal Chokers, Olokuul nonetheless exhibits the same small, non-rigid body and possesses the same long, spike-lined tentacle-arms. However, these tentacles end in sharp talons, such as those of a Dragon, and his formerly grey-brown body is now more of a light gray color, dotted with patches of tough, white scales.
