Jax Spartan, the Armor Heir

(click to show/hide)

Background

(click to show/hide)

Is there no respect for anyone with vision?

Jaxen Spartan was one of those kids in his early education everyone wanted to be. He had a stable home life - father was a celebrated craftsman, mother was a celebrated craftswoman - and was brilliant at his studies in science, engineering, and most impressive and importantly magical theory. He excelled at these advanced studies from the time he was 6 years old. He designed his first wand-chambered gauntlet by the time he was 10; he finally crafted it by the time he was 15, able to lift the forge hammer and shape the damned metal himself. He researched elven magical craft and dwarven craftsmanship (mostly dwarven craftsmanship - damn, those short-assed ruffians could drink!) at his leisure, and was taken on as an apprentice under two masters of these respective crafts. The durable framework of dwarven metallurgy and the intricate and detailed theory behind elven magic-craft had reportedly "never blended so seamlessly together, much less under the manipulations of a human hand" (taken from a report by the judging guildmember Horace Engwarn, admissions expert for the Dream Apothecary and dwarven craftsman himself). At age 17, he was taken on as a guildmember apprentice of the Dream Apothecary (already a journeyman for three lesser crafts guilds). Six months later he concluded the dream sale of a custom designed magi-sled, a sort of magically propelled, two wheel "artificial horse" meant to carry one rider at incredible speeds.

This struck the elders of the Dream Apothecary in a few ways. Firstly, it showed his abilities as a dedicated and versatile craftsmen, though he had technically received help on the design. Second, it showed his capacity for function and beauty melded into a single piece of machinery. Third, and most importantly, it showed that he had little regard for the subtleness of the craft that traditionally went with being a member of this highly secretive guild. I mean, the sled wasn't exactly inconspicuous.

He was warned, and to his credit, he toned himself down. For about a year and a half, he focused on weapons and armor, writing theses on the styles of craft for the items and how best to blend his elven-dwarven hybridization techniques when crafting certain items. All in all, though he had the persona of a reckless play-boy, hellbent on fortune and fame (perish the thought [/sarcasm]), he was mainly keeping it out of the Apothecary's business.

That was, until about six months ago, when he locked himself into his forge with a massive quantity of requisitioned material and scrolls, tools and discarded items, and proceeded to work on something. He rarely left the forge-area; when he did, inquiring minds found a number of seals and locks on the doors. He never left for more than a few hours a week, primarily to acquire more food and water. When he was done, he had a single item; a prototype model of a suit of armor he said would be fit for the Magi themselves. Apparently, keeping his nose out of the guild's business was incredibly boring.

So the matter was brought to the heads, who agreed that he could turn quite a profit on such an item, if they could find a single lordly individual interested in dropping the immense amount of gold on such a thing. The guard wouldn't touch such an elaborate piece of magi-chinery, and the church had no real need for the Apothecary's prototypes. Not to mention they couldn't well advertise for such a product, and there was not otherwise a buyer. Needless to say, they were pissed.

But then, one of the elders had an idea; if, separate from the Apothecary, Jax could advertise his piece of machinery, it could easily be sold. If it could be put into the dreams of the masses, there was bound to be one pretentious lordling who would need the most advanced armor money could be poured into. And what better way to advertise than to have Jax enter a team into the High Arcana games? Not that he had much of a choice; it was either that, pay out of pocket, or suffer the wrath of the guild. So Jax, reluctantly, entered.

He knew how to use such items; he had an understanding both theoretical and practical of their use. But the armor alone wouldn't keep him from getting killed. So Jax borrowed money from the legitimate guilds he was a member of (including the Stark guild, where he had always competed with the guildmaster's son Tony to be accepted as the genius he felt he was), and proceeded to modify what little material he had left into weapons, tools, and the like.

Reportedly, half of the borrowings went into the suit's paint job. Nobody was surprised.

Now, Jax is recruiting for a team, and he has a few good people (and a few good things) that need to prove themselves as well. And so, itching to go, Jax is preparing to make the biggest explosion he can...

Prototype Unit FU-01 "Force Unleashed^TM" Series [nickname "Vector"]
LN Magic-Blooded Force Golem 4 / Sublime Shaper 2

(click to show/hide)

Force Burst (Su): Once every 3 rounds, a force golem can create a 30-foot-radius burst of force centered on its self. Creatures in the area take 1d6 points of damage per two HD the Force Golem possesses (rounded up) and are knocked prone. Those who succeed on a Reflex save take half damage and remain standing. The save DC is equal to 10 + half the Force Golem's HD (rounded up) + the Force Golem's Strength modifier. If a force golem has the Improved Overrun feat, the save DC is increased by 4. Force golems are immune to this ability. This is a force effect.

(click to show/hide)
At 4 HD a force golem gains +10 feet to the potential radius of Force Burst. This additional 10 feet of radius is always optional, and the Force Golem can choose instead to decrease the radius of Force Burst to by up to 10 feet, down to 20 feet which adds +1d6 + the force golem's strength bonus to the damage. A force golem decides the radius of Force Burst each time it uses the ability, it does not have to choose the radius at the HD at which it gains this increase. Flying opponents caught within the radius of Force Burst are dazed for one round unless they make their reflex save.

At 8 HD a force golem gains +10 feet to the potential radius of Force Burst. This additional 10 feet of radius is always optional, and the Force Golem can choose instead to decrease the radius of Force Burst by up to 20 feet, down to 10 feet which adds +2d6 + the force golem's strength bonus to the damage. A force golem decides the radius of Force Burst each time it uses the ability, it does not have to choose the radius at the HD at which it gains this increase. Flying opponents caught within the radius of Force Burst are stunned for one round unless they make their reflex save. If they are immune to stunning they are instead dazed for one round on a failed reflex save.

At 12 HD a force golem gains +10 feet to the maximum radius of Force Burst. This additional 10 feet of radius is always optional. A force golem decides the radius of Force Burst each time it uses the ability, it does not have to choose the radius at the HD at which it gains this increase. Opponents caught within the radius of Force Burst who fail their reflex save are dazed for one round as well as knocked prone.

At 16 HD a force golem gains +10 feet to the maximum radius of Force Burst. This additional 10 feet of radius is always optional. A force golem decides the radius of Force Burst each time it uses the ability, it does not have to choose the radius at the HD at which it gains this increase. Opponents caught within the radius of Force Burst who fail their reflex save are stunned for one round as well as knocked prone. If they are immune to stunning they are instead dazed for one round and knocked prone on a failed reflex save.

At 20 HD a force golem gains +20 feet to the maximum radius of Force Burst. This additional 20 feet of radius is always optional. A force golem decides the radius of Force Burst each time it uses the ability, it does not have to choose the radius at the HD at which it gains this increase. Opponents caught within the radius of Force Burst cannot save against its damage, but must make a reflex save with a save DC equal to the damage they take or the normal save DC of Force Burst, whichever is higher. Opponents who fail this reflex save are dazed for one round, stunned for one round, and knocked prone. All opponents caught within the radius of Force Burst must also make a caster level check vs. the force golem's spell resistance or have a random buff dispelled.

The radius on a force golem's Force Burst gains an optional +20 feet every 4th HD after 20. A force golem decides the radius of Force Burst each time it uses the ability, it does not have to choose the radius at the HD at which it gains this increase.
Force Field (Ex): A force golem is surrounded in an invisible sphere that excludes external spells and spell effects of 2nd level and lower. This ability functions like a lesser globe of invulnerability, except it is an extraordinary ability and it does not extend to spells and spell effects created by the force golem. A force golem's Pulse, Force Reactive, and Force Burst abilities are unaffected by the Force Field. A force golem can dismiss or reactivate its Force Field as a free action at any time even if it is not its turn.

(click to show/hide)
At 4 HD the Force Field excludes spells and spell effects of 3rd level and lower.

At 6 HD the Force Field functions like a globe of invulnerability, excluding spells and spell effects of 4th level and lower. It is still an extraordinary ability and does not hinder the Force Golem's abilities.

At 8 HD the Force Field excludes spells and spell effects of 5th level and lower

At 10 HD the Force Field excludes spells and spell effects of 6th level and lower

At 12 HD the Force Field excludes spells and spell effects of 7th level and lower

At 14 HD the Force Field excludes spells and spell effects of 8th level and lower

At 16 HD the Force Field excludes spells and spell effects of 9th level and lower
Pulse (Sp): A force golem can target any opponent within 60 feet with this ability, which functions as a ranged bull rush attempt. The force golem and its target make opposed Strength checks. If the force golem wins the opposed check, the opponent is pushed 10 feet in a direction of the golem’s choice and falls prone in the square it ends up in. For each 5 points the force golem's check result is greater than the defender's check result, the force golem can push the defender an additional 5 feet. This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity, and using this ability does not cause the force golem to provoke an attack of opportunity. If the target is flying, the force golem can push it twice as far. The force golem is not required to move with the pushed opponent.
A force golem can push an opponent only in a straight line, and it cannot push an opponent closer to it than the square that foe started in. If an intervening obstacle prevents the opponent from being pushed 10 feet, the foe and the obstacle each take 1d6 points of damage. If the opponent was flying and the force golem chose to push them straight down, they take falling damage appropriate for the distance traveled before striking the obstacle. The opponent then falls prone in the square it was in before striking the obstacle.
Any feat or special ability that grants a bonus on resisting bull rush attempts (such as a dwarf’s stability) applies to this opposed Strength check. Similarly, if a force golem takes a feat or special ability that improves bull rush attempts, they gain its benefits on this check.

(click to show/hide)
At 4 HD a force golem gains a +2 bonus on bull rush checks, and can use Pulse on any opponent within 90 feet and can force a flying opponent downward three times the normal distance.

At 8 HD a force golem gains a +2 bonus on bull rush checks, and can use Pulse on any opponent within 120 feet and can force a flying opponent downward as if they were falling, dealing full falling damage upon impact with the ground.

At 12 HD a force golem gains a +4 bonus on bull rush checks, and can use Pulse on any opponent within 150 feet and deals and can force a flying opponent downward faster than if they were falling, dealing double falling damage upon impact with the ground. This overpowers spells that decrease falling speed, like feather fall, but does not deactivate them. Non-flying opponents who collide with obstacles suffer additional damage as well. Both the opponent and the obstacle take an additional +1d6 of damage per 10 feet beyond the first that the force golem pushed them with its bull rush check. In addition a force golem adds its strength bonus to any damage dealt through the use of Pulse.

At 16 HD a force golem gains a +4 bonus on bull rush checks, and can use Pulse on any opponent within 200 feet and can force a flying opponent downward faster than if they were falling, dealing triple falling damage + the force golem's strength bonus upon impact with the ground. This overpowers spells that decrease falling speed or allow flight and targets of this ability must make a caster level check vs. the force golem's spell resistance or have relevant transmutation effects dispelled. In addition a force golem adds double its strength bonus to any damage dealt through the use of Pulse.

At 20 HD a force golem gains a +8 bonus on bull rush checks, and can use Pulse on any opponent it can see. It also adds triple its strength bonus to any damage dealt through the use of Pulse. Should the force golem choose, it can use Pulse as a move action instead of as a standard action, it makes this decision anew each time it uses Pulse.
Force Affinity (Ex): For obvious reasons, a force golem is particularly talented with force effects. Any force effect a force golem creates, whether it is a spell, power, or other special ability, is freely empowered. A force golem immediately gains +1 bonus to caster level, manifester level, and other level-dependent force effects. It gains another +1 for every 5 HD it has (So +1 at 5, 10, etc.).
